Xiao Chen casually chatted with Qian Ruhai and found that although this person was very greedy, he was still capable.
He was quite familiar with local governance, especially economic development. Whenever Xiao Chen asked him, he always answered fluently, and sometimes he could even draw inferences.
In the excitement of speaking, his tone was so passionate that he forgot that he was a sinner.
"When will you get up?" Xiao Chen interrupted his tirade.
"Sir, I'm leaving now. The two officers are still waiting outside." Qian Ruhai and Xiao Chen were chatting about speculation, and they were in high spirits. After being interrupted, they remembered their current situation, and felt a sense of sadness in their hearts. .
"You have just come out of prison and it is difficult to travel a long way. I think you can stay here for two days. It will not be too late to leave after you recover." Xiao Chen said.
"I'm afraid I can't do it. Your Excellency's good intentions are appreciated by the guilty officer." Qian Ruhai thought that Xiao Chen was just being polite to him, but in fact he meant to see off his guests, so he quickly stood up and said goodbye.
"What's so hard to do? You will be from Yanyun County from now on. I am the Governor of Yanyun. Why can't I even decide your schedule? Who are you? Go tell the two brothers outside and send money like a sea." Sir, just leave it to me. I will make my own arrangements later, so I won’t bother them and send them away." Xiao Chen took it seriously.
Give them some money and send them all away.
This was what Xiao Chen said. When Brother Xuanyiwei went out to talk about it, the two government officials were quite happy. After all, it was a thousand miles away from Xuanming. It was an extremely hard job to sleep in the open and sleep on the road day and night.
Moreover, Qian Ruhai's family property was confiscated, and there was no profit or water at all. There would be no benefit to following him and it would be a misfortune. Now that Mr. Xiao has said so, we brothers can just go back and recover.
I received a reward from Mr. Xiao for no reason. How can I say this...
Qian Ruhai failed to go to Xuanming in the end because he was intercepted by Fu Yan that night. He heard Xiao Chen say that Qian Ruhai might be a capable official, so he immediately went to talk to him. After chatting, I was very happy. Oh my god, this is still an old baby!
Shunfeng City is short of talents right now. Brother Qian, why don’t you go to Xuanming? It’s too expensive to travel such a long distance...
Just help me in my house, and be a clerk or a master. I will be generous with my salary, food, housing and transportation. Brother Qian, what do you think?
Qian Ruhai said that the criminal officers all obey the arrangements of adults. Although I am old and cannot use my hands, I can still use my brain.
The criminal officer didn't dare to say that he was familiar with other tasks, but he had served as the Hebo ambassador in the county for several years, so he was quite familiar with water control.
Your Excellency just now said that you want to dig a canal, but you don’t know whether you want to use river boats or sea boats?
In the sinner's humble opinion, it is best to use sea-going ships. This will save the need for sea-going ships and river ships to ply back and forth at the dock when transporting goods. This is for a century-old plan...
In addition, the criminal believes that digging a canal between Shunfeng and Jinsha is unnecessary because the distance is relatively close and can be connected by land. Isn't Jinsha City next to the outlet of Bailong River?
As long as the wharf is expanded and the river channel is widened, ships can enter and exit directly...
For military reasons? The guilty minister didn't take it seriously. The security of the port and terminal is not a defensive method. It also requires the navy to be strong enough. If the navy is strong, the port does not need to be fortified. If the navy is weak, no matter how strict the defense of the port and terminal is, there will be no chance. use!
Therefore, the guilty minister thought that if a canal was dug, it would be better to go all the way west from Shunfeng to Xuanming Prefecture! Connecting all the rivers and lakes along the line will not only solve the traffic problem, but also solve the problem of farmland irrigation...
The guilty minister once talked with a magistrate named Chen Ziang of Weizhou County. He wanted to build a canal connecting Jiangdong and Weizhou counties. Once it was built, it would really solve a big problem. It's a pity that The amount of the project was too large and the cost was too high, so the higher authorities never approved it...
The more Fu Yan listened, the happier he became, so much so that he started dancing. These ideas coincided with his!
But even the prefect Shunfeng cannot decide on such a big project. So, brother Qian, don’t stay here. I will send a boat to take you back tomorrow. Don’t rest when you get to Yanyun County. , go along the route and give me a good inspection.
Then come up with a detailed project plan. When I get back, we can go find Mr. Chen Jisheng and Liu Congshu together!
Qian Ruhai happily agreed, but I don’t know why you don’t go back now, sir? Got something to do? There is nothing more important than our matter!
Fu Yan couldn't tell him this. He just asked him if he had any family members in Jiangdong? If there are any, please immediately send a message to them all to follow to Shunfeng City, because from now on, your brother Qian will be my Yanyun...
What's the difference? That's a huge difference. I'll talk to you in detail later.
When we go to Yizhou, Xiao Chen is the imperial envoy, and Gong Shouli is the deputy envoy. In addition to Zhu Tianfu and other Yizhou surrendered generals, there are dozens of officials from various ministries accompanying him.
There is the Ministry of War to reward the three armies, the Ministry of Rites to reward the heroes, the Ministry of Industry to explore the mountains and rivers of Yizhou, the Ministry of Households to investigate the local customs, the Ministry of Personnel to investigate, and the Ministry of Punishment to lock up the princes who were involved. Those who came down to serve as prisoners of war...
After the personnel list was drawn up, the emperor suddenly personally mentioned it and added a deputy envoy, but it turned out to be Xu Haiming? Gong Shouli was confused after hearing this. He didn't know that the emperor sent him to do this? This man is shrewd and capable, has great grace, and is supported by the emperor as his arm...
Could it be that the emperor also sent him to die with us brothers?
Xiao Chen was overjoyed. It seemed that the emperor was interested in letting Xu Haiming be the governor of Yizhou... Hehe, this candidate is so suitable! It can be seen that Your Majesty is still very discerning. I give you a thumbs up.
After the recovery of Yizhou, Yizhou County must be established. Yizhou is relatively poor and economically backward. After the war, the population also dropped sharply. Moreover, Xiao Xinghan has been operating here for many years, and the people's hearts are not attracted by the Great Zhou Dynasty. , so a very capable minister must be the governor.
Yizhou was extremely important in Li Wanjiang's heart, so he didn't feel comfortable sending an ordinary capable minister there, so he thought about it over and over again before deciding to let Xu Haiming go.
I consulted Xu Haiming's opinion in advance, and sure enough, Xu Aiqing lived up to my expectations and agreed generously. I was very relieved, and I was both happy and worried. What I'm happy about is that you, my dear, put national affairs first, worked tirelessly, and didn't care about anything. Help me share my worries about gains and losses. It’s really not a bad thing that I always love you so much!
What worries me is that after my dear friend left, I lost my arms and if there were any difficult matters in the DPRK, who would I ask? I also hope that Aiqing will work hard, work vigorously in Yizhou, and stabilize Yizhou in the shortest possible time, and then you can return to me.
I have been dissatisfied with Wang Anbang for a long time. When Aiqing comes back, I will ask him to retire and return to his hometown, and you, Aiqing, will be the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs... Although it sounds like painting a cake for him, maybe Li Wanjiang really has this intention. You can't tell what you mean.
