Li Xun said strangely: "I actually understand Zhou Xiansen's situation, but I don't understand. In the past few years when he was the county magistrate, and in the years when the Second Longyou War did not break out, he developed quite well. Logically speaking, a person as greedy as Zhou Xiansen must have no ability to manage. How did he manage Xiayuan County so well?"

Xia Yuan said: "Zhou Xiansen is not capable, but his county magistrate Guo Chen is very talented and manages Xiayuan County in an orderly manner. Seeing that this person is well-managed, Zhou Xiansen was generous and delegated power to him and just makes money."

Li Xun frowned and said, "Cheng Ning, the governor of Ganzhou, is a clean, upright and wise official, and has a fair personality. How could he not know that Guo Chen has such talent? He should have been promoted long ago."

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "The General is not aware that although Guo Chen's mother is from the Han Dynasty, his father is from the Western Regions. How dare Lord Cheng reuse foreigners easily?"

Li Xun then felt relieved. It turned out that this was the case. In the past few years, although he had been in charge of the western part of Longyou, although he had tried his best to improve the status of foreigners and to give them equal rights as much as possible with the Han people, the barriers between the nations could not be dissolved in a short while. Besides, in order to appease foreigners, Li Xun could allow them to enter the government to do things, but could only be some insignificant minor officials. This had nothing to do with talent, but a rigid regulation. Li Xun also had certain precautions for foreigners and could not believe them immediately. It was not easy for Cheng Ning to promote Guo Chen to the county town of Xiayuan County. It was obvious that he valued the talent of this person very much. Doing so would require certain political risks. After all, the county magistrate was already an eighth rank and the highest official under a county magistrate.

"When are you talking about? Ganzhou's recent moves are a bit big."

At this time, the man sitting opposite Li Xun suddenly turned his head and said.

Li Xun smiled and said, "Are you very familiar with the situation here?"

Xia Yuan was just a low-level military officer guarding the gate. They might know a little about Xiayuan County, but they probably knew less about the situation in Ganzhou. Zhao Tong suddenly attacked and stirred up the situation in the western part of Longyou. Li Xun really wanted to know how far the situation developed.

The man grabbed the wine bottle and shook it, laughing.

Li Xun smiled: "We ordered some wine, maybe you want to try it."

When the man heard this, he felt happy and moved to Li Xun's table. The wine was very expensive, so he could not afford to drink it on weekdays.

"Brother, can you tell me your name?"

"In the Xia Zheng Jing, whose courtesy name is Weisheng."

Li Xun looked at Zheng Jing in surprise. This man was covered in tatters and very depressed. He just sat there, just a plate of clear water cabbage and two steamed buns. He looked like a poor person who could not be poor anymore. He actually had the word "preface". In this world, ordinary people have no word "preface" and their fame is also poor.

Looking at Li Xun's surprised expression, Zheng Jing laughed and said, "My word is given to me by my father. He is a scholar."

Li Xun nodded, it turned out to be so.

Xia Yuan said in confusion: "Since your father is a scholar, brothers shouldn't be like this!"

When you pass the scholarship, the court will register and pay money every month. Although it is not much, you can barely support your family and concentrate on studying. Only when you are a juren is promoted can you be qualified to be an official.

Zheng Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Scholars are not worth money. My father is sick and his family has been emptied. As soon as he died, the debt collectors rushed over, so I could only escape."

"Since my brother is from a scholar's family, why not get fame and honor?"

Zheng Jing sighed and said, "Although I like reading, I only read the books I like, those Zhihu people also..."

At this time, the wine and dishes were served on the table, and the wine was good, and only the wine was 10 kilograms. Seeing this, Zheng Jing was overjoyed. Today, he could have a great time. Jiang Daxiong grabbed a jar of wine, raised his head and drank it in big gulp. Since he had drunk all the wine in three or four jars of wine, Zheng Jing was stunned. Although the wine was not easy to get drunk, drinking so much in one breath would be a fierce person.

Jiang Daxiong touched his mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, this wine has no meaning at all."

"Then drink what you like."

Li Xun asked the boss to bring up the best and strongest wine in the store.

Afterwards, Li Xun was not in a hurry to ask questions. He was indeed a little hungry. Everyone ate some food and drank a few glasses of wine before they started chatting again.

Seeing Zheng Jing constantly looking at him, Li Xun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Zheng Jing, I have a flower on my face. Why are you staring at me?"

Zheng Jing hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Are you the governor of Wuzhou Li Xun?"

Li Xun was stunned: "Why do you think I am Li Xun?"

Zheng Jing pointed at Jiang Daxiong: "Everyone knows that Li Xun has a tiger general who is tall and has a strong martial arts skills. The master and servant are inseparable from each other. I look at him like Jiang Daxiong."

Xia Yuan spoke at this time, "It may be Niu Jin, a defender in Ganzhou. There is also such a guard around Niu Jin."

Zheng Jing shook his head and said, "I have seen Niu Jin. When he became the defensive envoy of Ganzhou, he was a good guy, beating drums and drums, leading two thousand soldiers to patrol the city several times, for fear that others would not know him."

Li Xun laughed secretly when he heard this. Niu Jin obviously regarded himself as an idol, imitating and learning from himself everywhere. He was also a bandit. When he was with his brother-in-law Wang Qun, he was not favored by others. After following him, he was also excluded. He must be very angry. He was so angry that he tried his best to make great contributions in the Second Longyou War. In the end, he was promoted to General Lang and became the General of the Central Army. With his strong recommendation, he became the defensive envoy of Ganzhou. After so many years of grievances, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and naturally he would be glorious.

"You don't need to know who I am, but you should tell me what you know."

Li Xun did not give a positive answer.

This is equivalent to acquiesceing that he is Li Xun, and Zheng Jing's eyes on Li Xun are naturally a little different.
