Early the next morning, Shen Yi said goodbye to his family and set off back to Huai'an.
There were not many people seeing him off, but not too few. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the Shen family members, Song Ying, the current official and minister, also took half a day off to see Shen Yi off.
This member of the Song Dynasty was also carrying a baggage in his hand. After saluting Shen Yi, he handed the baggage to Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Zi Heng, this is the autumn clothes my mother-in-law gave me yesterday. I asked you to take it to Huai'an for delivery." To my second brother."
Shen Yi stretched out his hand to take it, then glanced at the clerk of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who was on his way to success and had a bright future, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Song can just ask someone to deliver such a small matter. How can he go there himself?"
Song Ying shook his head slightly: "Sending clothes is one thing, but more importantly, I am here to send you Zi Heng. Zi Heng has been in Huai'an this year, killing enemies for the country and defeating the Qi army. His reputation has spread all over the country."
"Nowadays, in some libraries in Jiankang, there are storytellers talking about Zi Heng Po Qi's story books."
"Brother Yu is very impressed by such achievements. He only regrets that he is a weak scholar and has no power to tie a chicken. Otherwise, he would be like Erlang and go to Huai'an with you."
"Senior brother is joking."
Mr. Shen laughed dumbly: "Senior brother, in the future, he will be entrusted with the territory and join the cabinet. There is no reason to go to the front line and fight against the Qi people."
Song Ying's official promotion was very fast.
He has been the son-in-law of the Zhao family for only about ten years. In ten years, he has been promoted from a new Jinshi to a member of the Ministry of Civil Service, and has great power.
Moreover, Song Ying is very stable both in dealing with people and in his way of serving as an official. He is quite similar to his father-in-law Zhao Changping. With Zhao Shangshu's political resources, he should be able to push him to the position of Minister of the Sixth Ministry before he retires. superior.
The future of seriousness is boundless.
For now, his future is much brighter than Zhang Jian's.
Song Ying laughed at himself, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know what happened in that lifetime. A real man should be like you, Zi Heng."
Song Ying's words were completely made in response to Shen's remarks.
Because in this era, most scholars, including Song Ying, have some prejudices against martial arts. If Shen Yi was not a second-ranking scholar, these civil servants would not even look at him, let alone What is said about "this is what a man should do".
However, this person is the political heir of Zhao Changping, and Shen Yi is likely to become the heir to the position of head of Zhao Changping Academy in the future, so he needs to have a good relationship with Song Ying, so Mr. Shen smiled and said: "If there is a way, I am still willing to be here Being a division officer in the Sixth Department comes naturally and happily."
At this time, the two people complimented each other, so they left each other contentedly.
………………
On the way back to Huai'an, Shen Yi only rode the carriage for one day because he couldn't stand the hot weather anymore. After all, there was no one to provide him with ice all the time, so he simply abandoned the carriage and changed horses to run back to Huai'an.
Along the way, he only traveled morning and evening to avoid the sun, but he didn't suffer much. On the fifth day after leaving Jiankang, Shen Yi returned to Huai'an.
At this time, it was already August of Hongde's twelfth year, and Shen Yi took over Huai'an for exactly one year.
As soon as Shen Yi returned to the imperial envoy's camp in Huai'an, he asked Jiang Sheng to find Luo Yong. He rested at the imperial envoy's camp for an afternoon. In the evening, Luo Yong hurried to Shen Yi and bowed to Shen Yi: "Si just."
Shen Yi said "hmm" and motioned for him to sit down and talk. After Luo Yong sat down, Shen Yi looked at him and said, "I returned to Jiankang during this period. The news from the Di News Department was not sent and received in a very timely manner. North How is the situation, please tell me."
Luo Yong nodded first, and then said: "Back to Sizheng, according to your instructions, my subordinates contacted the brothers of Di Baosi in the north. Coupled with their own intelligence sources, there are already some national intelligence agencies on the north bank of the Huaihe River. News about the book is spreading, but has it reached Yandu specifically, my subordinates..."
"Don't know yet."
The development of the Di Newspaper Division in the north is in accordance with Shen Yi's deployment. For now, the Di Newspaper Division of the Northern Qi Dynasty is still developing in some cities in the south and has not gone to the enemy hinterland like Yandu.
To put it more bluntly, the Northern Qi Dynasty Newspaper Division has only "infiltrated" one Xuzhou Prefecture so far. Outside Xuzhou, its power is still very weak.
Luo Yong paused and then said: "Because my subordinates can't contact the colleagues in charge of the Di Di Reporting Department in the north, they don't know much about the internal situation in Xuzhou City. What I can tell Si Zheng at the moment is that the credential The content has been spread on a small scale within Northern Qi..."
The person in charge of the Di Newspaper Department sent by Shen Yi to Northern Qi was Lin Sheng, the original leader of the eighth group of the Di Newspaper Department, and one of the original leaders of the Jiankang Di Newspaper Department.
However, the only connection between Lin Sheng and the Chen court was Shen Yi. Luo Yong had no authority to contact him. Even Luo Yong didn't know that the person in the north was Lin Sheng.
After all, his colleague Lin Sheng was originally said to have been sent to Lingnan to develop the Di newspaper company.
Mr. Shen rubbed his nose and thought for a while, then said: "That's it, now that the matter is here, I have done what I should do, and then I can only wait and see what fate will bring."
He looked at Luo Yong and continued: "I'm calling you here this time. In addition to the things in the north, there is one more thing I want you to investigate."
Luo Yong lowered his head again: "Sizheng, please give me your orders."
"In the recent period, keep an eye on the movements of the Huaihe Navy for me, especially Zhao Lu. Try to find out where he is and inform me at any time."
Luo Yong lowered his head and said: "Sizheng, the whereabouts of General Zhao..."
"Subordinates and others can only try their best to check, but it may not be accurate."
Shen Yi rubbed his temples and frowned slightly: "Then report the information you can find to me at any time, and then..."
He raised his head and glanced at Luo Yong, and said in a low voice: "Whatever I ask you to do, you can't do this or that. If you have any difficulties, tell me. If you need people, just hire them. If you need money, I'll help you." You approve the money."
"But it's difficult. You have to find a way to solve it for me."
Shen Yi's words were not serious, but Luo Yong wiped the sweat from his forehead, lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, I will try my best to make it happen!"
Shen Yi nodded, stood up, patted Luo Yong on the shoulder, and said, "The Di Reporting Department has a bright future. You veterans will also have a bright future in the future. You must work hard."
After spending time with Brother Cake for a long time, Master Shen's method of painting cakes has become fluent without even realizing it.
Luo Yong clasped his fists respectfully: "Si Zheng's care and support are all seen by the brothers in Si. We will not let down Si Zheng's high expectations."
Master Shen nodded with satisfaction, and after explaining some details to Luo Yong, he let him go.
In the evening, Shen Yi got up and left the imperial envoy's office, and went to the magistrate's yamen to discuss matters with Zhang Jian. As soon as he entered the magistrate's yamen, he saw Zhang Jian coming up to him from a distance and reached out to grab Shen Yi's sleeve.
"Ziheng is finally back."
Shen Yi looked at him and said with a smile: "Senior brother, why are you so busy? Could it be that my sister-in-law has wronged you? In this case, if this government office cannot accommodate senior brother, senior brother might as well move to my imperial envoy residence."
Zhang Jian rolled his eyes at Mr. Shen and said angrily: "You have serious business, but you still have time to joke around here!"
Shen Yi was stunned and asked, "What serious matters are so important?"
"Three or four days ago, two scholars came from Huai'an Prefecture and went to the imperial envoy's camp to look for you. You were not there. Zhu Zhen, your attendant who stayed at the imperial envoy's camp, brought them to me."
Shen Yi was stunned: "I came back at noon, Zhu Zhen never told me..."
Having said this, Shen Yi suddenly remembered and said, "Yes, I was on the road two days ago and sent a military order back. Zhu Zhen should have gone to Xiangshui County to deliver the military order for me."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "What military order are you so anxious about?"
"There are two thousand-household battalions in the army that are slacking off in training."
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "I wrote a letter to warn you."
After saying an understatement, he looked at Zhang Jian and asked, "Who is it that makes you care about me like this, senior brother?"
"Two Jiangdu people."
Zhang Jian pulled Shen Yi towards the back office and said, "I have Uncle Lu's letter of recommendation in my hand, and I am very angry. If I can't see you, the two of them plan to go back to Jiangdu. I will do it for you." It was hard to keep it, but it’s only now that I’m here today.”
Hearing this, Shen Yi rubbed his head.
"I remember, Master Zhao also mentioned this to me."
"He was recommended by his mentor to join me."
He smiled at Zhang Jian: "Then please ask senior brother to lead the way, and I will go meet these two great talents."
