In 1724 he traveled to Stockholm with an order to invite officials to the Chamber College , artillery officers, engineers, miners (berg-werkers), a skewer for the fleet in the Russian service and buy a recipe for preserving the tree from rotting. The mission was unsuccessful. With great difficulty, Bibikov managed to find one chamberlain official who agreed to go to Russia. Other instructions were not feasible. The skewer first agreed, and then refused to conclude a contract: “ I heard when the artisan drove in, they won’t let him go at all .” Bibikov wrote about berg-werkers that the Swedes " themselves write them out of foreign lands, and that they are commanded to be released from Sweden ." At the same time, he collected information “ on a letter of order ” from the Swedish chamber board. Despite the failure of the trip, Peter I was pleased with Bibikov. He liked that Bibikov was very cautious about buying a “ balsam recipe ” - “ matter, what they smear a tree so as not to rot ”, which Bibikov agreed to buy only after the test.

In addition, given his old ties in Holstein, he had to confirm the friendly relations between Russia and the duchy.

In 1729, fell out of favor with the princes of power at the zenith of power Dolgorukov and was ordered to immediately go vice-governor to Irkutsk . But he managed to postpone his departure to Siberia , and in February 1730, while in Moscow , he took an active part in the gentry movement against the leaders . He joined the circle of A. M. Cherkassky and V. N. Tatishchev and signed both their monarchical project and the petition submitted to Anna Ivanovna about the perception of the autocracy. The supreme leaders saw him as a dangerous enemy and meanwhile repeated the order to him to go to Irkutsk: this Senate decree was issued on February 25, on the very day when the Empress tore her condition.

After the fall of the leaders, he was sent in 1731 by the governor to Belgorod . In 1732, he was sent to Persia , to the army, " for assistance in ministerial affairs ", Lieutenant General Lefort. In 1734, he was in charge of collections from the conquered Persian provinces.

In 1742 he received the order " in Little Russia to be the chief commander ... to have in his department a ministerial and general military chancellery and in the affairs board to act according to these decrees to the former commanders ." Bibikov was the last chief commander of the inter-Hetmanate era (1734-1750), in those years when Elizabeth renewed the privileges of Little Russia, and won the favor of Little Russians.

In 1742 he was awarded the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky . Three years later he died in the hetman's capital Glukhov .

In August 1723, Bibikov turned to Peter I with a request to welcome him to the Kashira village of Ivanovo, which had been transferred to the palace, with villages (163 yards), which belonged earlier to his father-in-law, as well as several villages in Livonia. He had a small estate (near the village of Ivanov), but it provided little income. According to this petition, Bibikov received several villages in Little Russia, which in 1726 were replaced by land in Livonia (15 hooks).
