Sun Jin is not coming to see Shen Yi today, and Shen Yi is looking for someone to invite him over.
Because he does plan to go out, and he will leave tomorrow.
When he left Yueqing, there were many detailed regulations in the Shipping Department, and he had to explain them clearly to Sun Jin to avoid any trouble in Yueqing.
After all, although Shen Yi is not the person in charge of the Municipal Shipping Department, he basically wrote the articles of association establishing the Municipal Shipping Department word for word, so he can be regarded as a senior advisor to the Municipal Shipping Department.
Now that Sun Jin is here, Shen Yi doesn't have to go find someone to invite him over.
On the same day, Shen Yi left Sun Jin in Shen Yuan for more than an hour, and told him in detail the basic strategy of the Shipping Company in the future.
That is seeking stability.
There are some highly profitable goods, but it is extremely troublesome to collect taxes. The Shipping Department has not had time to make corresponding details, so it will temporarily collect taxes according to the basic tax rate of one out of ten.
In short, everything should be stable.
As for the refining of the items by the Shipping Department, it is best to wait until next year, after the Shipping Department is completely stabilized and the manpower gradually increases, and then improve it bit by bit.
Regarding Shen Yi's "suggestions", Eunuch Sun Jin was very humble. He accepted almost all of Shen Yi's suggestions, wrote down the outline with a pen, and put them away carefully.
Eunuch Sun arrived at Shen Yuan after lunch, so it was already close to evening after Shen Yi "instructed" Sun Jin.
Shen Yi wanted to keep the eunuch in charge for meals, but Sun Jin still maintained his original good style and was unwilling to stay, so Shen Yi did not force him to stay and sent him out of Shen Garden.
When it got dark, Mr. Shen found an open space in Shen Garden, set up a grill, and asked Jiang Sheng to get a plate of meat skewers, sit next to the fire, and grill the meat.
It's almost November now.
And it’s the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.
Even in the south, the coolness at night is already very obvious. It is still very pleasant to warm up by the fire in this season.
Master Shen was sitting by the fire. As soon as he finished grilling two skewers of meat, a big man silently came to Shen Yi. Just as the big man wanted to salute Shen Yi, Master Shen waved to him and pointed to the opposite side of him. He reserved a low stool and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a while, sit down and talk."
Xue Wei nodded and sat silently opposite Shen Yi.
He was still in a bad mood, and his face no longer had the heartless smile it once had.
Shen Yi turned over the meat skewers on the grill, looked up at Xue Wei, and asked, "Have you studied hard these days?"
Xue Wei nodded, took out a few crumpled rough papers from his arms, handed them to Shen Yi with both hands, lowered his head and said, "Look, Mr. Shen, these are the words that my subordinates have recognized these days."
Shen Yi reached out and took it. Facing the flickering light of the fire, he could barely see the writing on the paper clearly.
Crooked and crooked, with no posture at all.
But at least they are considered words and can barely be distinguished.
Master Shen smiled, put the piece of paper into his sleeve, and said, "You must have paid attention."
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Xue Wei showed a happy smile on his face, and then lowered his head: "Make Mr. Shen laugh."
Shen Yi handed a bunch of grilled meat skewers to Xue Wei and asked, "You are a military general, and I force you to read and read. Do you hold grudge against me in your heart?"
"Where are you talking about..."
Xue Wei stood up quickly. He was not very good at talking. His face was a little red from suppressing it. After stumbling for a long time, he finally managed to say something: "Subordinate... I know in my heart that Mr. Shen, you are doing this for my own good..."
"As long as you understand."
Shen Yi waved for him to sit down, and then said calmly: "I asked you to read and read, so that you can be wise and lead troops to fight. You can only rely on your brave words, let alone your deputy commander's errand, you can't even do it." The position of a thousand households is not secure, and I only deserve to be a hundred households below."
Master Shen paused and continued: "I will go south early tomorrow morning and leave Yueqing for Fuzhou Prefecture."
Shen Yi looked at Xue Wei and asked, "Do you know what I'm going to do in Fuzhou?"
Xue Wei lowered his head, his face flushed a little: "I know, Ling Weishuai won the battle..."
"Um."
Shen Yi nodded slowly: "If you keep up the good work, you should be the one greeting me in Fuzhou Mansion now."
"With your credit for wiping out the Japanese pirates in Fujian, you can be on an equal footing with Ling Su in the future."
"It's a pity that you didn't seize this opportunity."
Mr. Shen said slowly: "Opportunities are fleeting. If you don't seize this opportunity, you won't know how long you will have to wait for the next opportunity. You can only stay in your current position and slowly wait for the next opportunity. "
"You are commanding the deputy envoy's errand, and I will restore it to you tomorrow."
Shen Yi looked at Xue Wei and said calmly: "It's good to lead troops and train in Yueqing. If there's something going on at the Shibo Division, just bring people to help. Otherwise, don't cause trouble."
Xue Wei lowered his head and said, "Tomorrow I will send two hundred-household camps to protect Duke Shen as he goes south."
"You don't need so many people."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "Tomorrow I will ride to Fuzhou Prefecture. You can find twenty or thirty cavalrymen to accompany me south."
Xue Wei lowered his head and responded: "Yes."
Shen Yi once again placed a grilled meat skewer in front of Xue Wei, and waited for Xue Wei to reach out to take it. Master Shen patted his shoulder and said calmly: "Train well in Yueqing, south of Fujian. And Guangdong, that’s your last chance.”
"If you still can't seize this opportunity, no one can help you."
"When the time comes, I will look for another general."
Xue Wei clenched his hands unconsciously, and his breathing became rapid. He bowed his head deeply to Shen Yi: "Thank you Mr. Shen for your support, subordinate..."
"I will definitely live up to Duke Shen's high expectations!"
"Um…"
"Let's stop talking about official matters first. There is one more private matter that I also want to mention to you."
"You are not too young this year."
Mr. Shen took a bite of the meat skewers in his hand, and his mouth was filled with oil. As he chewed the skewers, he smiled at Xue Wei and said, "I will ask Mr. Ying to help you find a suitable girl later and make you a girl." Family, maybe after you become a family, your personality will settle down a bit."
Xue Wei's face turned red. He quickly stood up and bowed his head deeply: "Shen...Mr. Shen, this subordinate has no time to think about these things..."
"It's time to think."
Master Shen patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I have an errand for you."
Xue Wei looked serious and lowered his head deeply: "Gong Shen's orders."
"Five years..."
Shen Yi pondered for a while, then changed his words: "Three years, leave a seed for yourself within three years."
"In the future, I may take your kid to risk his life, but I can't let your family lose its incense."
Xue Wei's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his head excitedly and said: "I obey my orders..."
…………
Shen Yi values Xue Wei very much.
Part of the reason for this fancy is that Xue Wei is a bit straightforward. To put it bluntly, he just doesn't have much care.
At the very least, he is much less thoughtful than Ling Su.
This kind of short-mindedness does not mean that this person is stupid, but more that this person has no scheming.
And people with this kind of personality are relatively trustworthy.
The more important reason is because "there is a difference between closeness and distance".
Xue Wei is the "direct descendant" of the upright Shen Yi, because he was promoted from the lowest level by Shen Yi, so he can be said to be a good person.
With these two relationships, Xue Wei is different from Ling Su.
Let's put it this way, if one day there is a conflict between the emperor's order and Shen Yi's order, then 90% of the time Ling Su will obey the emperor's order, and Xue Wei...
There is at least an 80% chance that they will be on Shen Yi's side.
And in the other 20% chance, he would not go against Shen Yi.
Because of this, Shen Yi was so interested in Xue Wei and tried every means to train him.
Although the probability of him clashing with the imperial court is low, having such a loyal subordinate will always make him feel more at ease.
Of course, the prerequisite for reusing Xue Wei is that this person has enough ability. If he really can't hold up the wall, Shen Yi can only slowly give up on him.
That night, Shen Yi talked a lot with Xue Wei. It was not until late at night that Xue Wei left Shen Yuan and returned to the anti-Japanese army camp in the dark.
The next morning, Mr. Shen got up early, put on a thicker winter coat, and mounted his mount.
To be honest, riding horses in this weather is really not an easy job. After all, it is already winter, and the cold wind blowing against my body is really uncomfortable.
In this kind of weather, the most suitable thing is to sit in a carriage, light a stove in the carriage, and travel comfortably.
But there was no time.
Ling Su's army will arrive at Fuzhou Mansion in about three days. Shen Yi needs to rush to Fuzhou Mansion as soon as possible to take charge of the situation.
Yueqing is about six hundred miles away from Fuzhou.
If you take a carriage, it will take six or seven days anyway.
Shen Yi and his party rode fast horses to Fuzhou Prefecture, covering the six hundred miles in only two and a half days and almost three days.
By the afternoon of the third day, Shen Yi and others had seen Fuzhou City from a distance.
Master Shen was riding on horseback and waved to the twenty brothers behind him.
"Brothers, get into the city before dark!"
"tonight."
Shen Yi's voice was low.
“Stay in Fuzhou City!”
