General Magistrate Li Guanghui was promoted to the position of Tongzhi of Qingzhou Prefecture, and other officials also enjoyed the benefits of Qingzhou's transformation into a prefecture. Especially the officials from the local forces in Qingzhou were very proud. Get your wish.
Li Guanghui, the co-president of Qingzhou Prefecture, was even more prosperous and had a prosperous official career. Li Guanghui, who is nearly fifty years old, has long lost hope in his career. Unexpectedly, he could not stop his official fortune. In just two years, he was promoted from Qipin County Magistrate to Qingzhou Prefecture Tongzhi.
Especially this time, Li Miao made great efforts to successfully stay in Qingzhou Prefecture as Tongzhi. Therefore, Li Guanghui is also grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Although he knew that Li Miao had selfish motives, without Li Miao's help, he would not have been able to get this position. Besides, Li Guanghui felt that he might still have room for improvement in a few years, so he had to hold on to Li Miao's thick leg.
After all, Li Miao's mentor Li Shouzhong is now a cabinet minister and a celebrity in front of the emperor. Maybe he would have to ask Li Miao for help next time he was promoted. After Li Miao left Qingzhou, he also needed Li Guanghui's care for many things.
As a result, the relationship between the two took a further step after they separated. To put it bluntly, they are just using each other, but being able to be used by others is also a manifestation of ability. It shows that there is still use value.
There was no farewell banquet, and Li Miao was still nominally their chief officer. But everyone knows that Li Miao will not come back after going to Beijing to report on his work this time. Therefore, a group of officials in Qingzhou really feel reluctant to say goodbye.
There will never be another Shangguan like this in the future. With the new prefect taking office, another battle between dragons and tigers may begin in Qingzhou officialdom. To put it bluntly, it is a battle for interests between local forces and external forces.
None of this has much to do with Li Miao. If their side does not gain an overwhelming advantage, no one will get involved in his cake. This is why Li Miao tried his best to help Li Guanghui.
Of course, Li Miao is not afraid of anyone asking for advice. Various industries in Qingzhou have already formulated contingency plans to deal with emergencies. At that time, those protruding claws will be cut off ruthlessly. In fact, these are what Li Miao doesn't want to see the most.
At that time, Li Miao couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to. This was not in line with his principle of being low-key.
This year Li Miao's power has achieved unprecedented development. These all benefited from the alien invasion last winter. With this year's autumn harvest, Li Miao's strength can be described as having sufficient troops and food.
The grain reserves of Liaodong Bureau after this year's autumn harvest alone can supply the needs of the more than 30,000 people of Liaodong Bureau for ten years. When Wang Daoqi, the head of the Liaodong Bureau, wrote a letter, it was also a rare high profile.
Wang Daoqi stated in his letter that he had made all preparations to capture the Dalian area. Li Miao can only smile bitterly, you are ready, but my luck is not as good as that of young and old.
Of course Li Miao would not say that in his reply. "What I need is to be more fully prepared, and I must ensure that nothing goes wrong. Not only must I consider my own casualties, but I must also not cause too much damage to the Dalian area."
Now Wang Daoqi was busy again, and the plan to attack Dalian had to be redone. In fact, Li Miao was right. The fewer casualties he suffered, the better. The more complete Dalian he captured, the more valuable he was.
It is easy to destroy but difficult to build. Moreover, after taking Dalian, we must immediately prepare to deal with the Jurchen tribe's counterattack. There is no chance of anything happening. Moreover, the Jurchen army will counterattack crazily that winter.
It is not difficult for the Liaodong Bureau to capture the entire Dalian area with its strength. The difficult thing is to hold on to the Dalian area after taking it. Li Miao also wanted to use this move to contain the Jurchens. After capturing Dalian, the Liaodong Bureau will also build bastions in the Dalian area.
In the early morning of this day, twelve carriages suddenly arrived in the backyard of the Qingzhou government office. They are all marked by Shunfeng Transport Escorts. The family members in the backyard, who had been prepared long ago, quickly got into their carriages. Each carriage is equipped with a driver and two bodyguards as standard.
Li Miao didn't want to take the water route when she returned to Beijing this time. Now the entire section from Qingzhou to Beijing is the territory of Shunfeng Transportation Escort Bureau. Li Miao still wanted to see with his own eyes the operating conditions of Shunfeng Transportation Escort Agency. Besides, riding a carriage is much faster than taking a boat.
Soon the carriage team set off, accompanied by ten of Li Miao's servants on horseback. The coachmen and bodyguards of Shunfeng Transport Escort are all dressed in the same uniform. The driver's uniform and the bodyguard's uniform have the logo of Shunfeng Transport Escort on the front and back.
Li Miao saw that the words and deeds of the coachman and bodyguards were quite standardized. It seems that they have received strict training. The coachmen and bodyguards all knew that Li Miao was the parent officer of Qingzhou. But they didn't know that this parent official was their big boss.
When the carriages came to the street, they were lined up in a long formation, not occupying the road. In addition, it was dawn and there were not many pedestrians on the street. There was no guard of honor. Just like an ordinary big family traveling.
Li Miao didn't want to disturb the people. So, I chose to leave quietly. Even the farewell party arranged by Li Guanghui tonight was cancelled. It's not just Li Miao, everyone who should say goodbye has said goodbye. I don’t care about the last drink.
After driving for tens of meters, as soon as we left the government office, we saw dense crowds of people kneeling on both sides of the street. It seems that the grapevine is always the most accurate. Li Miao asked Shunfeng Transportation Escort to keep everything secret.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for the management of Shunfeng Transportation Escort to leak secrets. Now is not the time to get to the bottom of it. Li Miao ordered the convoy to pass quickly. The longer they stayed, the more people would grow.
The carriage team quickly headed towards the north gate. Li Miao is not superior. He didn't even show his face, he really didn't want to disturb the people. If you stop and wait, the road will be blocked immediately. There were really too many people coming spontaneously on the roadside.
Li Miao let go of his consciousness and felt that there were dense crowds of people kneeling on both sides of the road. Wherever Li Miao's carriage passed, he could still hear the crying from the kneeling people on both sides.
As a human being, Li Miao II has never experienced this. I was also so moved that my nose became sore and I couldn't help but shed tears. The female family members on the carriage had already choked up.
Although the female relatives also knew that Li Miao should be a good official. Unexpectedly, it turned out so well that so many people spontaneously saw him off. And he was still kneeling on the street.
It seems that sadness is also contagious. Li Miao didn't dare to stop and headed straight for the north gate. There was an atmosphere of sadness accompanying the motorcade along the way.
The convoy finally left the North City Gate, and Li Miao breathed a sigh of relief. But not far out of the city, there were roads on both sides, and some were even in crop fields. Fortunately, the crops had already been harvested. As far as the eye could see, it was all a dark crowd of farewell people.
And they all knelt on the ground, praying devoutly for Li Miao and seeing him off. Yes, Li Miao could feel the thoughts of the people. The people knew that their parents, officials, were going to Beijing, and they wanted Li Miao to stay in Qingzhou forever as an official.
But it's obviously impossible. So to thank Li Miao for everything he has done for them in the past two years. They knew Li Miao was leaving. So, they knelt on the roadside to see this rare good official off, and at the same time prayed for Li Miao.
Li Miao could no longer control himself and sat in the carriage crying. Li Miao felt that he did not do anything deliberately for the people. He actively promoted high-quality seeds in order to gain more luck.
As for other things, they were just done casually. Anyway, they were good for themselves first. They really didn't think too much about the people.
The starting point for Li Miao to consider the problem is that his own safety must be guaranteed first, and at the same time, he and his relatives and loved ones must live a better life.
But this group of simple people spontaneously knelt down for him. He also prayed for him devoutly. How could Li Miao not be moved? He felt that he did not deserve it and deserved it.
Li Miao's carriage team stopped. Li Miao was dressed in casual clothes and his eyes were dim with tears. At this time, I couldn't care less about official etiquette. "Folks, please get up. It's cold on the ground, don't get cold."
Li Miao's voice was hoarse and she couldn't stop crying. When Li Miao saw the people, they were still kneeling. So, he helped an old man who was not far away and said, "Stop kneeling, get up." The people just didn't get up, and the old man who had been helped knelt down again.
Li Miao was completely at his wits end, so he bowed deeply to the people around him. He turned around and got into the carriage and drove away.
Originally, Li Miao resisted foreign enemies only because of his national sentiments. Now there is another reason to protect the people in this area. The simple people here deserve to be protected by themselves.
