As for Gu Haiming, this is an issue that many people in Lingquan County are concerned about.

Gu Haiming has been working in Lingquan County for many years and still has a certain foundation, but after all, he is old and just got the last place in the exam.

After the exam, he found a way to survive and became a pavilion chief.

However, he is not the pavilion chief in Lingquan County, but in Jintang County.

There is news circulating everywhere in Lingquan County that the invisible magistrate Gu Haiming has been transferred.

Where did he go? He was transferred to Zhangjiazhai in Longquan Mountain as the pavilion chief.

Upon hearing the news, many people, especially those who had dealt with him in the past, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These people owed him a lot of favors. Now that Gu Haiming was still in Lingquan County, he had to focus on Jintang County.

Jintang County and Lingquan County are more than a hundred miles apart. From then on, Gu Haiming seldom returned to Lingquan County.

Those who interacted with him kept congratulating him on his leap from a bran basket to a meat basket while giving him gifts. Jintang County was a paradise on earth.

Of course Gu Haiming understood that these people wanted him to leave immediately, and he hated them in his heart, but he had to put on a smile on his face.

Of course Gu Haiming doesn't want to leave, and he also wants to use his past connections to continue to maintain his existence in this old nest.

But since he came last in the exam, how could he have any choice?

Not to mention anything else, just finishing last in the exam ruined his reputation.

Many people who used to bow to him when they saw him can now point fingers at him.

He has human connections, and others can look at the past and return the favor to others.

But once the favor is used up, it will be lost. When it is used up, others will ignore you.

Zhao Ping looked at Xiao Suo's back as he left Lingquan County and shook his head.

Gu Haiming is indeed capable, and at the same time he has played a lot of roles in protecting the Han people. This is his advantage.

However, he should not dwell on his old ways and immerse himself in the aura of the invisible magistrate.

If he cooperates with the new county magistrate, Zhao Ping may give him a good way out.

Unexpectedly, for a person addicted to power, how could he give up his power?

In Zhao Ping's view, Gu Haiming and Huang Zhizhao are actually capable people.

The two cooperated with each other and indeed protected more than 5,000 people of the Song Dynasty under the noses of the barbarians.

It's just that these capable people are too selfish. One wants to continue to be an invisible magistrate, and the other wants to be a powerful person.

What they did determined their fate today.

Zhao Ping's principle of employing people is that as long as you are useful to the Song Dynasty and the people, you can use it.

He planned to polish the two of them to see if they had any intention of improvement, otherwise he would be doomed for life.

Yu Qishi, Yu Jihan, Yu Moyan, Yujia and Guo Jing also took part in the exam and achieved good results.

In particular, Yu Qishi ranked among the top ten, becoming the most affordable miscellaneous house among the eight houses.

Yu Mohua saw that Zhao Ping gave them questions to train them before the exam, but she didn't know the purpose. She didn't understand Zhao Ping's good intentions until the results came out.

Her officials were good to her natal family, but Yu Mohua couldn't wait to give Zhao Ping a child right away.

Of course, Zhao Ping's personality determines that he will not miss questions, but he can be trained similarly to improve his adaptability.

Zhao Ping's junior official examination not only changed the fate of literati and gave them another way out, but also changed their names.

In the past, only those who passed the examination were qualified to be a scholar. Now, those who have passed the examination to be a minor official are also literati.

They were especially grateful to Zhao Ping, who made Zhao Ping more and more influential among literati.

Yu Moyan's status has also changed unknowingly, because the security team is still somewhat repulsive to him being the chief clerk.

Later, when they saw that he was admitted as a scholar, everyone admired him and the orders he gave were effective.

Having just arranged things in Lingquan County, Zhao Long came in and brought someone.

This is a green-robed official in his forties, his face full of sorrow, as if someone owed him a few thousand dollars.

He handed over the famous assassin, who turned out to be Tang Jiahong, the magistrate of Jingyan County.

Jingyan County is now so poor that it is almost impossible to open the pot.

There are hills everywhere, the crops are not harvested well, and there is a drought.

No wonder he has such a bitter face that it is difficult for him to be a low-level official.

Jingyan County belongs to Longzhou, but it is closer to Jiading, only eighty or ninety miles away.

Jingyan himself was unfamiliar with it and didn't know why Yu Sanwei wanted to find him.

The two of them drank tea and chatted.

It turns out that there is another important person in Jingyan, that is, Lang Mou Zicai, who lives next to the official family.

Qi Julang is somewhat similar to the role of chief of staff to the president of the country, but he is different from this role.

While taking care of the officials, he also records their every word and deed, and also plays the role of supervising the officials.

This official position was so important that Chu Suiliang, the former prime minister, even served as the daily minister of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

They record all the good deeds and bad deeds of officials, no matter how big or small they are.

It is the material used by future generations to compile history. This recording document is called "Daily Notes".

If you, the emperor, do whatever you want, you will be absolutely wrong.

Because the emperor could not interfere with the content of the "Daily Notes", emperors of all dynasties were worried about the "Daily Notes" for fear that their disgraceful things would be recorded.

People who hold the official position of "Lilang" generally enjoy a social reputation for being upright, courageous, and daring to confront tough situations.

Jing Yan created such a character, and Zhao Ping certainly admired him.

While Zhao Ping was drinking tea, he suddenly remembered something Liu Yunliang had reported.

Mou Zi then asked him to visit Jingyan more often. After all, Jingyan was his hometown, and he had helped him in Chen Dafang.

Now I finally understand that Mou Zi wants to help his hometown.

Not to mention Mou Zicai once helped him, his character and talent alone made him admire him.

No matter what, he must help Jingyan County.

How can I help Jingyan County?

Zhao Ping recalled that Jingyan County was rich in rock salt in later generations.

However, this rock salt is toxic and can be used industrially.

If people eat it, they will be poisoned in mild cases and die in severe cases.

This is a mountain range that stretches for tens of miles, and there are a lot of exposed rock salt on the cliffs that are barren of grass.

It is extremely easy to mine and can be broken open with a light hammer into blocks.

They contain highly toxic impurities such as lead and arsenic, and are called poisonous salts by the locals. People dare not eat them!

They contain impurities and are light gray, yellow, red, black and other colors, have a glass-like luster, and taste bitter and fishy with a salty taste.

It is now September, and the weather is getting colder and colder depending on the season of the year.

The weather is nice today, and the sun is shining brightly in the sky.

Accompanied by Tang Jiahong, Longzhou magistrate Zhang Zongqing, judge Zuo Kaiwei, and chief clerk Yu Sanwei sat under three big umbrellas.

While they were drinking tea, they watched intently in front of them, how Zhao Ping turned poisonous salt that people did not dare to mine into snow salt.

According to the principle of reciprocal reception, it should be the chief clerk Yu Sanwei who receives the guests.

However, Zhao Ping is a world-famous talent, a sixth-grade official, and he is here to give away wealth, so naturally all of them are dispatched.

Everyone was baffled when they saw Liu Xianhong, Li Hanjiang, and Li Hanhe carrying what looked like three buckets of water.

If you look closely, you will see that the words "disinfectant water" are written on the bucket.

This is obviously a bucket of ordinary water, how can it become disinfectant water?

Could it be that Zhao Ping is really a disciple of an immortal who can turn ordinary water into disinfectant by drawing a talisman?

What's even stranger is what's behind, Yu Moyan is still carrying a cage of chickens and a cage of rabbits.

Although Yu Mo Yan is a scholar, after all, he still has to help the family in the village.

Yu Moyan brought the chickens and rabbits. Are he planning to raise chickens and rabbits here?

But I heard that where there are no bare hillsides and no abundant food, how can we raise these?

Several officials all looked at Tang Jiahong with doubts in their eyes.

Tang Jiahong saw everyone's looks and shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.

Under Zhao Ping's command, the hard-working craftsmen first used fairy cement to build several room-sized pools.

Then use spring water to dissolve the rock salt and water in a ratio of three to one, which makes the salt saturated.

This will allow most of the impurities that are not salt to precipitate, while the salt will become a solution and remain in the water.

Then Zhao Ping asked the soldiers of the security group to filter it with gauze, and then added one-third of the spring water after filtering.

Everyone just saw Zhao Ping doing this and knew that he was making salt, but they didn't know why he did it.

Zhao Ping asked Yu Moyan to get a small amount of water to feed the chickens. Everyone was confused. What was he doing?

Do chickens like to eat salt? People also like it, and so do chickens.

After the chick was fed salt water, it struggled a few times without even having a cup of tea, and finally fell to the ground motionless.

Obviously, there are highly toxic substances in the seemingly clear salt water.

Everyone turned pale before they understood what Zhao Ping meant by bringing the chicken.

Zhao Ping first saluted the chicken, glanced at Zhang Zongqing and others, and explained: "Chickens are stingier than humans. Poison will make it die quickly. It tastes the poison on our behalf."

After he finished speaking, he bowed again and said, "Although the chicken is small, it is very great. Thank you!"

Indeed, the chicken used its childish and weak life to test the poison on behalf of the humans present, and everyone saluted the dead chicken.

Then Zhao Ping asked Yumo Inkstone to add a liter of something like water that Liu Xianhong had picked, and something strange happened.

The water that was originally clear suddenly produced white, gray, and black flocs.

Liu Xianhong kept stirring with a stick, and finally the floc turned into a gray precipitate.

Zhao Ping pointed at these gray sediments and said: "These are poisons, and now I have caught them."

Zhao Ping was really powerful and worthy of being a disciple of the gods. He found and caught the poison easily.

Zhang Zongqing and others came forward to look at it, and found out that the poison looked so ugly.

Zhao Ping asked them to filter the clear salt water again and feed the bunny with salt water.

In the time it took a stick of incense, the little rabbit started to struggle and died soon after.

It turned out to be poisonous salt, and the poison inside had not been completely removed.

No wonder people are afraid to eat this poisonous salt.

Unexpectedly, this cute little rabbit was also poisoned to death.

Zhao Ping saluted the little rabbit and said, "Although the little rabbit is small, he is also great."

Everyone saluted the little rabbit one after another, thanking it for using its precious life to test poison for those present.

Zhao Ping asked Yu Moyan to continue adding 10% of the disinfectant water. At this time, white, gray and black floc appeared in the salt water.

No matter how powerful your poison is, you will still be caught by the immortal disciple Zhao Ping.

But, how many poisons are there? How long will it take to clean it up?
