Liangyan's momentum was as strong as a broken bamboo, and it was expected that Gangka would be defeated. Although Dingdong took some time, there were no dangers, and they were all recovered.
At this point, the territories lost by the previous dynasty were all recovered under the rule of the current dynasty.
The difficulty now lies in the Liwa Valley. This is the true territory of the Beiqi Dynasty. Once it is lost, the Beiqi king will not be able to explain to his ancestors. But if Liangyan wants to permanently prevent the occurrence of the epidemic, the Liwa Valley must
Take it. Because the real source of the Heimo River is here, it is safe to keep it in your own hands.
The Beiqi Dynasty resisted stubbornly, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while. So much so that Li Hui, who was scheduled to be transferred back to Beijing after the autumn harvest, had to be temporarily postponed because of this matter.
Li Hui was of course the happiest. In this way, he would have enough time to leave a big gift for the next governor. He would not have to get up early every day and work hard at night. His sudden lack of involution caused other officials in the government office to follow suit.
Breathe a sigh of relief.
The first person to bear the brunt is Zhang Dianli of the household office. These days, he is almost second only to Li Hui in the Yamen office. Although he is busiest after the autumn harvest, he is not so busy that he always runs to and from the toilet.
.
Of course, there are advantages to doing this, that is, things that once took a month to complete are now done in half a month. Now that he is suddenly relaxed, he still has time to have a good rest when he goes home, and goes to a teahouse or eats and drinks with friends in the evening.
I had nothing to do on this day, so I took my two sons to Qingshui Bank to relax. Unexpectedly, I met Li Hui while relaxing. This idea was not too "lucky".
Zhang Dianli, who changed into a loose Taoist robe, sighed and dismissed his son, then stepped forward and saluted——
"Master Li, you are here."
"Hey, it's you, come sit here."
Li Hui moved inside as he spoke. Seeing this, Dexi and Wenxi stood up and left with a tacit understanding.
They were quite tired these days, so when Li Hui suggested coming here to relax, they came over. Now that people were talking about official business, they naturally couldn't stand in the way and play their best.
Li Hui poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it over, smiling and saying:
"You must be exhausted these days. You can leave after you finish your own business. You don't have to stay."
After working together for so long, Zhang Dianli also figured out his temper and said with a smile:
"Although your Excellency said so, how dare I do that? It's against the rules. But it's better to be busy. I've already settled all the food I got after the autumn harvest. Now I'm just waiting for you to give me an amount so I can write a document."
Reported."
"Don't have so many rules outside. Just call yourself. As for the amount, just write it down truthfully."
"...Huh?" Zhang Dianli couldn't believe his ears.
Li Hui smiled, spread his hands and nodded.
"Write it truthfully, including the chemical fertilizer workshop that has already mass-produced. Otherwise, this year will be so many times higher than last year, and it will be difficult to explain it. After you finish writing, bring it to me, I will polish it, and then copy it and submit it myself.
The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs."
A magistrate who can be a state official is definitely not a fool. When he saw that he asked me to report the truth without reservation, I vaguely guessed the truth in my heart.
"Sir, is it time for you to leave after Liwa Valley is taken back? No wonder you were so impatient a while ago. It turns out... you are not interested enough anymore and you don't tell us the truth."
Seeing him so lonely, Li Hui sneered and curled his lips.
"What's the use of telling you? Can you still write a joint letter and report it to the court just to keep me? Don't be ridiculous, okay? They asked me to leave, and I have to leave even if I don't want to."
"Then wouldn't all your hard work... be in vain?"
"Do you think I want to leave on my own?" Li Hui did not hide the frustration on his face, "It took a lot of effort to turn the northern border with nothing into what it is now. Now I will pick peaches when others tell me, if it weren't for my status.
, I have long wanted to go and roll around like a woman."
Of course, there's no point in wallowing here. We have to go to the Imperial Palace. Unfortunately, it's too far away. Even if we go back, we can't change the facts.
Zhang Dianli also felt aggrieved for him, and his eyes were full of reluctance. Although there was no money to be made by working around him, the annual salary extension and the New Year's gifts were not bad, and they were probably even better than those hot oils.
More. More importantly, it is fair and aboveboard, without taking risks.
"Then when are you going to leave, sir?"
"I don't know. It's just a matter of time. I guess it will take a month after Liwa Valley is recovered." Li Hui replied calmly.
When Zhang Dianli heard this, he immediately became energetic.
"Is it possible that you won't leave? After the Liwa Valley is taken back, no one knows more about integration and other matters than you. Let's report all the grain and fertilizer workshops. The person who takes over from you will definitely be under pressure. Maybe he
At once……"
"He just came here with a sharp head and stopped thinking about good things." Li Hui directly exposed his fantasy.
The reason why he chose to report without reservation was because he didn't want Yan Yixin to take up the post in this place, even with Xiao Song's help. He would rather his child go to a position where he was unfamiliar with his life than work under the hands of someone who was not a friend.
When Zhang Dianli saw what he said, he said "Alas" heavily.
"Then please tell me in advance before you leave. I might as well... resign and go home."
He was fortunate enough to be promoted from a minor official to a household official, and it was entirely Li Hui's fault. He was the only one who dared to claim to be clean, because his boss was clean. But he was the only one who had ever been a household official.
He didn't have the courage to trust the person he was replacing, so he was ready to retreat and live a peaceful life with his wife and children.
Li Hui admired his intelligence and cherished his intelligence.
"Don't be so pessimistic. When you finish all the things at hand, I will change your place. How about the Street Department? It has been managed by your side since the last supervisor was dismissed. You can go there, although it is a bit
Qu Cai, but it is safe there, and you can protect yourself with your cleverness."
"The position of the housekeeper..."
"It's vacant. Please clear up all the accounts taken over from you, and then hand them over to me. I'll leave that position vacant until the next person comes to choose."
When Zhang Dianli heard this, he quickly raised his hands and bowed solemnly.
"Thank you, sir. I am deeply grateful."
"Don't thank me. You only blame me for doing so well that you can't adapt to others. After all, it's still my problem."
Li Hui's bold words earned Zhang Dianli's "Haha..." chuckle.
"Yes, it's all your fault, sir, for spoiling me."
Li Hui felt a chill on his back and quickly moved inside to distance himself from him.
Being called "spoiled" by a grown man, no matter how I feel it feels awkward, it's better to keep a certain distance...
