Shi Lei's position this time has definitely improved in terms of grade alone. Since Guangzhou Prefecture is the capital of Fanyu Mansion in Guangzhou County, the level and specifications are different from other prefectures and counties in Lingnan. Fanyu Mansion is the Shangfu, and the military towns under his command are not small. Therefore, Shi Lei's new position is a regular official of the fourth rank, and the treatment he can enjoy is also increased, and he also came to General Zhongwu of the fourth rank.

It seems that for his age, even if he is at his best, he must have qualifications and age to improve himself, because he will reach the top of the third rank, and he is already the leader of an important department, and he has become a real senior official.

It can be said that his fourth rank is an important dividing line between officials. He crosses his foot and is a big boss. He is an important figure for the entire Tang Dynasty.

For example, Kong Yingda, who is not very good at dealing with Shi Lei, is the Imperial Priest of this level, who is in charge of the education cause of the Tang Dynasty. His influence is obviously not on the same level as Shi Lei, a Zhe Chong Duwei. There are also major leaders of key departments such as the general supervisor, secretary supervisor, etc., who are absolutely high and powerful.

But if you can't overcome this hurdle, you may have to waste your whole life. Many people are stuck on this level, and it will be difficult for them to survive in their lifetime.

If you move up, it is not enough to describe it as many difficulties. Many times, you have to say that it is time and fate. Moreover, such a top position is really a pit, and how many people are watching behind it. So Shi Lei came to this position, so he was happy and worried.

The thing that really bothers him is not here, the key is that the location where he is in office is indeed of a high level, but the location is really not very good.

Guangzhou during the Tang Dynasty did not have an unparalleled status in China like later generations. Today, although Guangzhou is also the starting point of the Tang Dynasty's ocean transportation and the distribution center of goods from various countries, its commercial status is actually not low.

But it cannot resist it having another more famous identity. Guangzhou is the same place of exile as Jiaozhou and Leizhou, Hainan Island, which made all the officials of the Tang Dynasty fear it as a tiger.

And if you go to Guangzhou as a dangerous road, you will often sigh that you will die forever. Many officials are indeed gone forever and never return, and there is no possibility of returning to the center of the Tang Dynasty.

Last time, I wanted to sell my luxury house in Chang'an and give it to Shi Lei halfway, so I could have a passion for incense. The noble who hoped that Shi Lei could win him in the future was exiled to Guangzhou.

Of course, there are many officials' mentality problems. They all think that staying in Chang'an, the center of the world, is the right way to better display their political ambitions. They don't want to go to such remote corners and can no longer wander in front of Li Er, which can easily make these guys with lofty ideals discouraged.

But it is not difficult to imagine that the environment in Guangzhou must have its harsh side and reasons why people are not so yearning for it.

Shi Lei once felt the living conditions in Lingnan, especially during the time he was traveling with Feng Ang. However, he had fully experienced the difficulty of living in Lingnan, and could still understand the thoughts of these people.

So sending him Shi Lei to such a place really makes him confused. Is this a kind-hearted enhancement or a real exile?

Unfortunately, there is no real think tank around Shi Lei. Only Uncle Hunter can provide him with some advice as a reference. Uncle Fan and Uncle Butler, two of the most politically intelligent figures, are still in charge of Chang'an's home, and they still have to support all the affairs of the family.

Just like the revenge actions against the Dou family and the Changsun family some time ago, it was with the decisive suggestions and meticulous planning of these two uncles that such remarkable results were achieved so smoothly. Of course, it was also thanks to Cheng Chuyue's decisive decision to truly implement them.

And their ruthless revenge did have a good effect. Not only did they smash the other party's sinister intentions back to them, causing a devastating blow to their industry. It cannot be said that they will never recover from now on. At least they will be in a short period of time.

The losses suffered were too great, and we had to use the funds we had accumulated before to make up for this loss. We even moved some of the money to seal the treasury for emergency response.

After all, it was just a pension, and the ransom for redeeming the caravan elites of their own was a considerable fee, which basically caused the income of both of them to waste in the past year or two, and forced them to spend some time on tight days.

These pampered guys have reduced their quality of life by several times. Although they are definitely not a waste of time, in addition to the necessary social engagements and scenes, other expenses have indeed been reduced a lot, allowing the people of these two families to experience the serious consequences of this battle.

In addition to economic losses, the more impact lies in the prestige of the two companies.

The two families joined forces almost in a semi-public manner to attack the emerging powerful family like the Shi family, and they spent a lot of money from the beginning, as if they would not give up until they killed each other.

In the end, not only did they fail to do anything to the other party, but they made them return all of them, and the losses in force were even more injuring. Such results undoubtedly greatly encouraged the enemies of the two families.

No family's road to rise can be smooth sailing, nor can there be no enemy. After all, they are not money and cannot be loved by everyone.

What's more, these two families rely on their power to do a lot of things that use power to suppress others, and even do privately to embezzle other people's property. They are definitely the most unpopular people. Therefore, they cannot count the enemies they set up, and there are many life-and-death enemies who wish they could eat their flesh.

Even if there is no direct conflict of interest and the nobles who don’t like their approach, there are still many people who are there. However, even if they often use deceptive methods before, they have always been in trouble. Many people dare not speak out, let alone resist such a behemoth.

The revenge of the Shi family achieved unexpected fruitful results, which gave them information on resistance and became the clarion call for them to launch a counterattack. For a time, the industries under the Dou family and Changsun Wuji, as well as the forces in the court, were surrounded and suppressed by all parties.

When their enemies are united, it is time for them to be in trouble. They have never really realized that they have established many enemies without realizing it.

Even the Cheng family, who were also very angry about the actions of these two families, and some other martial artists who were kind to the Shi family, pushed a few times in secret or tripped the two families.

There is no way, but the butt determines the head. Even if they don’t mention the fact that they are taking action against the Shi family, the conflict of interests between them will not be a day or two. The two families are the backbone of civil servants, and the perspective of considering problems is naturally different from the generals. At this time, it is no wonder that the generals will go up and take the blame.

Yao Jin and the others were quite sensible. They only interfered in matters related to the dispute between civil and military affairs, and took the opportunity to strengthen the voice of the general lineage, and did not really mean to kill these two families.

It’s not that they don’t want to do this, but there are definitely many generals in these two families who want to kill them, but the court requires a balance, which is also a hidden rule that everyone knows, so they often have to keep a line of things in their work.

Besides, there is another big concern. Shi Lei has been transferred to Lingnan now. Even in Guangzhou, it is Lingnan. Whether he can come back or not is obviously a matter of how they are elders.

If they took the initiative to break the balance, Li Shimin would definitely not mind hitting the board on Shi Lei, a young man. At worst, it would be considered a trick to the young man. He has been going too smoothly along the way, and it is not a bad thing to suffer some losses.
