Gu Zhengchen hated Yan Sangsang so much that he had no strength to move and couldn't even hide from his wife's pinch.
Zhang Xiwan stared at Gu Zhengchen, moving her hands one after another, and saying: "I bought a maid, she is the maid of the first wife, why don't you put her in the magistrate's house, so I can see how I am? Lin?" Sincerity, this name is sincere enough, your name will not be carved on the stone, right? The woman who just came here is an acquaintance, how familiar is she? "
Gu Zhengchen was about to cry, but he couldn't clean it up even after jumping to Quanzhou Port. He was so tired that he fell asleep again in the middle of explaining.
Daybreak.
Nie Yuanji and Lin Tangchen also didn't see Gu Zhengchen tapping his fingers, so Nie Yuanji had to do it for him.
The documents were delivered to the Chengfa Office. Nie Yuanji read a few documents and took care of the simple matters that were within his scope. He would hand them over to Magistrate Gu for review when the time came. Complex or extraneous matters were left to Gu Zhengchen to deal with.
When he saw an official document, Nie Yuanji was stunned for a moment, looked over it over and over, and said to Lin Tangchen, "Prefect Gu seems to be in trouble."
Lin Tangchen took the document handed over by Nie Yuanji, glanced at it a few times, and took a deep breath: "This should be a document for the Quanzhou Guard. How come it was sent to the government office?"
Nie Yuanji smiled helplessly: "Prefect Gu is Commander Gu, so it's probably right to send the documents here. But I'm afraid Prefect Gu won't agree to the content."
Lin Tangchen frowned, stood up and said, "We need to tell Magistrate Gu immediately."
Nie Yuanji agreed and went to the magistrate's house with Lin Tangchen.
Gu Zhengchen couldn't walk anymore. After all, the training intensity on weekdays was not enough. After starting the intensity, his body was seriously overdrawn. At that time, he only felt tired and the pain was not serious. But after a night's rest, his whole body was sore.
Gu Zhengchen, who was stronger, finally sat in a chair with the help of Zhang Xiwan and Lin Baifan. Zhang Xiwan also wiped the sweat from Gu Zhengchen's forehead with a handkerchief, and then let Nie Yuanji and Lin Tangchen come in.
Nie Yuanji and Lin Tangchen bowed with their hands in hand.
Gu Zhengchen forced himself to return the favor, then lowered his hands and said, "Yesterday I went to the guard camp for a day of training, but my body couldn't bear it anymore and I couldn't get up. Don't be angry."
Nie Yuanji said seriously: "Prefect Gu personally worked hard to encourage the sergeants. He is truly a role model for our generation."
Lin Tangchen did not speak to Nie Yuan Jishan, but he also echoed a few words.
Gu Zhengchen didn't have the energy to say polite words to the two people, so he asked directly: "We are here together, I guess there is something big, right?"
Nie Yuanji nodded solemnly and handed over the document: "Prefect Gu, please take a look at this document."
Gu Zhengchen glanced at Lin Baifan.
Lin Baifan stepped forward to take it, unfolded the document and placed it on Gu Zhengchen's legs.
Gu Zhengchen looked down and frowned: "Order the Quanzhou Guardsmen to cut down 13,000 fir trees and deliver them to the Fuzhou Shipyard within three months without delay!"
Nie Yuanji looked at Gu Zhengchen, who was frowning, and sighed: "The person who gave this order was Ye Sheng, the governor of Qian. Not long ago, he was ordered to inspect Wen, Taiwan, Fu, Xing, Zhang, Quan, Chaozhou, etc. Guard, and supervise the construction of ships to prevent Japanese pirates. Quanzhou Guard is currently training, if transferred to cut wood..."
Gu Zhengchen leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.
Ye Sheng.
This man is recorded in history and is a fierce man. In four years, he will become the Marquis of Jingning. Later, he will make great achievements in quelling the rebellion of the eighteen tribes of Xifan and capture the chieftain of Xifan alive.
His ending was not good and he died in the Hu Weiyong case. Of course, this does not mean that Ye Sheng has anything to do with Hu Weiyong. After all, it had been more than ten years since Old Hu had been reduced to a bone before Ye Sheng was implicated...
In fact, there are only a few marquis who can be implicated who are not brave.
This fierce man came to Fuzhou with the purpose of building ships to defend against Japanese pirates.
All he wanted to do was build ships and chop wood with an axe, but the idea of targeting Quanzhou Guards was a bit inappropriate. The current Quanzhou Guards cannot afford to delay every day of training, not to mention that if they delay, they will delay it for three months.
Thirteen thousand fir trees may not be completed in three months.
You must know that fir trees are difficult to find in mountain forests, let alone transport them out of the country. There may be few fir trees on this mountain, but they may be scattered in that dense forest.
April is already summer, and the next two months in Quanzhou Prefecture will see more rain and stronger winds, which is not suitable for cutting down trees in the mountains.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhengchen shook his head and said, "I will handle this matter. You don't have to worry about it. Is the sergeant who sent this document still there?"
Nie Yuanji frowned: "This document was not sent by the sergeant. It was mixed with the official documents of the provincial government office."
"Provincial government office?"
Gu Zhengchen was stunned, looked down at the document, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Nie Yuanji nodded solemnly: "This document was sent together with the document from the provincial government office urging the government government to establish a social school as soon as possible."
Gu Zhengchen smiled and turned to look at Lin Baifan: "Take this document to Xiaohe and fill it in the pot later and burn it."
Nie Yuanji and Lin Tangchen were a little stunned.
Gu Zhengchen relaxed a lot and said to Nie Yuanji and Lin Tangchen: "I thought it was a document from Quanzhou Guard. Since it is an official document from the province, I don't need to pay attention to it."
Although Nie Yuanji also knew that there was something wrong with the way the documents were delivered, he still reminded him: "Ye Sheng was ordered to supervise the construction of sea-going ships."
Gu Zhengchen understood and asked the two to leave.
Lin Baifan asked with some confusion: "Ignoring this document will definitely affect shipbuilding. At that time, won't he have to blame the master?"
Gu Zhengchen smiled calmly: "This document was sent from the provincial government office, which in itself violates the rules of the post office. Ye Sheng inspected the guard station, not the government office. All documents should be kept in the self-defense station or temporary military tent. If it is issued, it cannot go through the province. This document was sent together with the government document, which can only explain one problem."
"what is the problem?"
Lin Baifan couldn't understand.
Gu Zhengchen forced himself to stand up, took a few breaths of cold air, and then said: "Ye Sheng went to the provincial government office and met with Shenzhen."
Lin Baifan didn't understand.
If Ye Sheng wants to build a ship, he cannot just recruit sergeants. Although there are craftsmen in the army, the number of craftsmen is limited after all, so it is natural for him to ask the province to recruit civilian craftsmen to help.
Gu Zhengchen chuckled: "I'm afraid you have forgotten, Sir, I have offended Chen Shenzheng and Gao Shenzheng from the province. With their intelligence, they must have thought that after Ye Sheng's letter was sent over, I would not pay attention to it. Like this First, they only need to say a few words in Ye Sheng's ears, such as how Magistrate Gu is and how he cannot obey orders when issuing documents, it is enough to make Ye Sheng regard me as his enemy."
Lin Baifan was surprised: "Is there a murder plan hidden in this simple document?"
Gu Zhengchen took a step, his calves suddenly trembled, and he had to sit back again, sighing: "Nothing in officialdom is as simple as it seems on the surface. Maybe I am overthinking, but Quanzhou Guards can't move at this time. Take a step to see Just one step. Is there any way you can help me stand up as soon as possible?"
Lin Baifan looked at Gu Zhengchen and said seriously: "It will take at least seven days for normal recovery. There is a way to recover in two days."
"What method?"
Gu Zhengchen asked.
Lin Baifan grinned and said: "Run another ten miles..."
Gu Zhengchen's eyes widened and he wanted to kick Lin Baifan out.
Didn't you see that I couldn't even stand and still ran ten miles? What did you think? However, it seems that this is indeed the fastest way, but it is fatal...
But there were many things going on right now, and Gu Zhengchen couldn't sit still and endure the situation of being unable to move, so he had to endure the pain and get up, trembling and walking out of the door. Zhang Xiwan persuaded him to rest.
Gu Zhengchen said bitterly to Zhang Xiwan: "I also want to rest, but there are too many things going on right now, including the opening of the sea, the training of Quanzhou guards, the seven counties, social education and education, and the construction and resettlement. Don’t be careless, if something goes wrong, no one can take the responsibility for me.”
Full responsibility is essentially the same as full responsibility.
Behind the majesty lies all the responsibilities.
Now he has offended too many people, including provincial participation in politics, Yushitai, and Pingliang Marquis Fei Ju. If it is not handled properly, there may be another future Marquis Ye Sheng.
It's not a big deal to offend people. There are few officials who can't offend others. As long as an official has a stand, he will definitely have political opponents. The key is not to make mistakes and not to fall into the trap.
Not staring, no.
Gu Zhengchen endured the pain and walked step by step. Zhang Xiwan also knew that there were too many things on Gu Zhengchen's shoulders and was too heavy, so she had to support him.
I didn't dare to exert force, and when I exerted force, I felt sore and sore.
Gu Zhengchen walked a few steps, panting to calm his breathing, and then said to Zhang Xiwan: "Lin Chengyi is a Hui'an girl. Her grandfather and grandmother left one after another. When I entered Quanzhou Prefecture, I went to Shuangxikou..."
Zhang Xiwan supported Gu Zhengchen and smiled lightly: "Husband, you don't need to explain so much, I still can't trust you?"
Zhang Xiwan believed in Gu Zhengchen's character.
When she was in Jurong, Liu Qian'er was considered gentle and considerate, beautiful and lovable, but in the end, Gu Zhengchen only took care of Liu Qian'er as his sister, and there was no relationship between men and women. He didn't even want Liu Qian'er to live in his house, so how could he fall in love with other women.
Gu Zhengchen walked around and gradually adapted to the pain: "I am not just explaining this, but I hope you can help the people of Hui'an County. Hui'an County has many mountains and little land, and there is not much livelihood. Many people there make a living by stone carving. After asking the sweeping monk Yuekong to be the head of the Quanzhou Guards, my husband sent a document to the court and sent a letter to the abbot of Tianjie Temple, Zong Ling, and the elder Ruqi."
"If there are no accidents, the emperor will allow the reconstruction of the Southern Shaolin Temple, which is a good thing for Buddhism. Once Buddhism decides to fund Yuekong, the Southern Shaolin Temple will definitely need a large number of stone sculptures. And this is an opportunity for the people of Hui'an to get rid of poverty. If Zong Lai can be made to have a good impression of Hui'an stone carvings, there is no doubt that he will look for stone carvings here in the future and go north..."
Zhang Xiwan understood.
Gu Zhengchen wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of rebuilding the Southern Shaolin Temple to promote the reputation of Hui'an stone carvings and build an industry similar to textiles, so that the people of Hui'an could live a good life.
The starting point and ending point of all the careful planning are the people here.
