After Liu Zhengxi and Du Qi finished their discussion, he returned to his office and arranged for someone to inform the road construction team that they would temporarily fix the road this year and settle all the wages.
After the news spread, he wrote a letter in reply to Ma Yuan, informing him that the new district magistrate arranged by Du Qi would be arriving in Fulu County soon. He also asked Ma Yuan and Zhu Youtian to prepare for the handover. After the arrangements were made, Liu Zhengxi went to Guo Xiaozheng's office and told him about Du Qi's arrangement. He asked Guo Xiaozheng not to be too strict.
Guo Xiaozheng agreed but did not say much.
Liu Zhengxi did not say much either. He went straight to the county office. As Yang Huaizhuang's transfer was very important, he had to inform him personally. When Yang Huaizhuang was the deputy magistrate of Jiuquan County, he helped Ye Daosheng with many things.
Especially when Yang Huaizhuang saw that Ye Daosheng supported Du Qi regardless of the cost, and that Jiuquan County had achieved great results. Yang Huaizhuang was very happy.
The reason was simple. Yang Huaizhuang believed that Ye Daosheng's next step would be to become the provincial governor of Suzhou. After Ye Daosheng was promoted, he would be in charge of Jiuquan County and become the district magistrate.
He could also be promoted.
Therefore, Yang Huaizhuang was very motivated to help Ye Daosheng.
When Yang Huaizhuang was dealing with government affairs, he heard that Liu Zhengxi was visiting. He quickly put down his work and went to welcome him. Everyone knew that Liu Zhengxi was Du Qi's top strategist and his most trusted aide.
Therefore, Yang Huaizhuang valued him greatly.
When he saw Liu Zhengxi at the door, he bowed and said, "What brings you here, Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu, it's cold outside. Please come in."
"Please come in!"
Liu Zhengxi replied with a smile.
The two entered the room together. Yang Huaizhuang asked someone to bring a cup of hot tea for Liu Zhengxi to warm up. After Liu Zhengxi drank the tea, Yang Huaizhuang asked, "What brings you here, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Zhengxi said, "His Highness wants to see you."
When Yang Huaizhuang heard that, his heart skipped a beat. Du Qi wanted to see him alone. It was probably not something good. Yang Huaizhuang looked at Liu Zhengxi and asked, "Sir, can you tell me what's going on?"
Liu Zhengxi said, "I won't tell you the details, but it's a good thing for you. Congratulations, County Deputy Yang. "
Yang Huaizhuang became excited when he heard that.
Good news!
Moreover, it was congratulation!
Obviously, it had to be a promotion in the government.
However, Yang Huaizhuang couldn't figure out how he was going to be promoted. Yang Huaizhuang was also tactful and did not ask anything more. He just said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Liu!"
Liu Zhengxi said, "There's no need to thank me. It was His Highness' decision to promote you. I just hope that you can work hard for His Highness and live up to His Highness's expectations. "
"Of course, of course."
Yang Huaizhuang promised, "Your humble servant will do his best to live up to Your Highness's high expectations."
Liu Zhengxi said, "Let's go."
"Yes!"
Yang Huaizhuang stood up and walked with Liu Zhengxi toward Du Qi's Ping Xi Wang Mansion. Yang Huaizhuang, who followed Liu Zhengxi, was quite excited. He was even imagining what kind of promotion he was going to get.
Yang Huaizhuang was a little absent-minded along the way. Before he knew it, they had already arrived at Ping Xi Wang Mansion.
Yang Huaizhuang and Liu Zhengxi entered the study and quickly saluted Du Qi. Du Qi put down the writing brush in his hand and motioned for Liu Zhengxi and Yang Huaizhuang to sit down. He said, "Yang Huaizhuang, you've been assisting Ye Daosheng in managing the government affairs of Jiuquan County. You've done a good job."
Yang Huaizhuang stood up and said solemnly, "Your Highness, you flatter me. I haven't done well enough. Many things were pushed forward in a hurry, so they were a little rough. If I had been slower, steadier, or even more experienced, it would have been a different situation. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "You have the idea of striving for perfection and the mentality of pursuing higher standards. That's good. Now that you have the experience and understand where your shortcomings are, I'll give you a chance to start over. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "The bandits in Fulu County have all been quelled. Fulu County needs a new county magistrate, so I've arranged for you. Do you have the confidence to govern Fulu County well? "
Boom!!
Yang Huaizhuang felt as if thunder had exploded in his head.
He was absent-minded for a moment.
He knew he was going to be promoted, so he thought a lot about it. His biggest guess was that he might be transferred to Ping Xi Wang Mansion. But now that he heard Du Qi's words, Yang Huaizhuang was very excited.
His chance had come.
He was now the deputy county magistrate of Jiuquan County. If he wanted to be promoted to county magistrate, he would have to wait until Ye Daosheng was promoted. After all, it was impossible for him to get a promotion in such a short time.
Now that he was an official, as the county magistrate of Fulu County, he was on the same level as Ye Daosheng. Yang Huaizhuang could even govern his own county according to his plan. He definitely wouldn't lose to Ye Daosheng.
Yang Huaizhuang lifted his robe and knelt on the ground with a thump. Although there was a brazier in the room to dispel the chill, the floor was still a little cold. Yang Huaizhuang knelt on the ground and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't disappoint Your Highness. After I arrive at Fulu County, I'll definitely change the state of Fulu County, set things right, and adjust the unreasonable areas of Fulu County. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "I'll wait for your good news."
Yang Huaizhuang was very excited.
A chance!
He didn't expect that he would get a chance so soon. A few months ago, he was just a merchant in Jiuquan County. In layman's terms, he was just a human trafficker.
Because he was doing well in business, his family had a lot of money. No one could have expected that he, Yang Huaizhuang, would become the county magistrate of Fulu County in a short three to four months.
This was the best chance in life!
Du Qi ordered, "Get up. Go back and prepare for the handover. Go take up the post as soon as possible."
"I'll take my leave!"
Yang Huaizhuang turned and left gratefully.
After Yang Huaizhuang left, Du Qi looked at Liu Zhengxi and said, "Mr. Liu, previously, Jiuquan County made some adjustments and didn't submit a memorial to the imperial court. Now that Jiuquan County and Fulu County have been taken, Suzhou is under our control as a whole. Although there are still many bandits in the county, there's nothing to be afraid of. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "You draft a memorial to the imperial court to inform His Majesty about the matter of Suzhou. Now that we've taken these two places, we can go to Shazhou in the west after we've cleaned up the bandits and stabilized the situation. "
Liu Zhengxi said, "I understand!"
Du Qi suddenly said, "Mr. Liu, do you think Yang Huaizhuang can stabilize the situation in Fulu County?"
Liu Zhengxi said, "Your Highness, I think Yang Huaizhuang can do better than Ye Daosheng. Because Yang Huaizhuang's personality is more decisive. After all, he used to be a human trafficker and isn't a kind person. But he's worked with Ye Daosheng for a while and knows what Your Highness needs. So in Fulu County, he'll definitely be able to do well. I'm not worried about that. "
Du Qi said, "Alright, we'll wait and see."
Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the room. Liu Jian's voice came in, "Your Highness, something bad has happened."
"Come in!"
Du Qi ordered.
The door creaked open and Liu Jian entered. He looked a little nervous and said, "Your Highness, there are many people outside the residence. They say they're here to seek justice."
