The political situation in Qiongzhou is still stable, and all orders are in order. There is no sense of urgency before the war.
However, the Luzon waters are quite different.
On weekdays, there are fishing boats and commercial ships passing through these places. If you look at it now, how can there be any passing ships?
Yes, they all changed to the outer sea on the east side of Luzon. Although it is a bit farther, the most important thing is safety. Not only the ship owners think this way, but also the provincial government of Qiongzhou advocates this.
Speaking of Luzon, we have to mention Liu Jincheng, the current chief minister of this side.
Some time ago, he was a little unhappy.
How do you say this?
When other officials were in office, they looked proud and arrogant, but he was full of sorrow and sighed every day, as if he had been wronged.
Wronged?
In his opinion, it is true!
Ever since I came to Luzon and took up the post of county magistrate, I have never had a day off, for fear that I would not be able to achieve decent political achievements and would be fired by my brother-in-law.
Therefore, he always plays an exemplary role and never lags behind others. Opening up wasteland, cultivating and harvesting, mining and smelting, he did everything with his own hands.
After all this hard work, Magistrate Liu lost twenty pounds. In addition to losing weight, his appearance also began to look 'anxious'.
Being exposed to the wind and the sun every day, with your face facing the loess and your back to the sky, can this not make you feel haggard due to the vicissitudes of life?
Liu Jincheng now looks more like Qi Yu's brother-in-law, very old-looking.
He himself was quite puzzled. Others said how good and wonderful it was to be an official. Why couldn't he realize it? Not only is it not good, but I feel like I am in a sea of misery, and my days are like years. I wish I could retire and return home one day earlier.
Why is this official looking like an exile?
It’s so hard~~
On this day, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to resign and return to Qiongzhou Mansion to enjoy his happiness.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he expressed this idea to his subordinates, Mr. Qi's newspaper was rushed to his residence.
It says: The Holy One has decreed that the existing Qiongzhou Prefecture be promoted from the original state level to
It was promoted to the provincial level. In addition, Liu Jincheng was promoted to the first prefect of Luzon Prefecture.
ah! !
Master Liu was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself: I never dreamed that I would be able to sit in the position of prefect one day...
My brother-in-law is really a great person.
Just after smiling, a subordinate officer came forward and asked: "Master Liu, didn't you just say that you planned to resign?"
"Nonsense!" Liu Jincheng rolled his eyes and said, "Just now, I just imagined the scene of me retiring after my success. What's the point of resigning and not doing anything? Why, you are holding on to this matter, are you thinking about me? s position?"
"Ah! I don't dare!"
"snort!"
"..."
In this way, Liu Jincheng became settled and stopped clamoring about becoming an official.
This official document once again ignited his enthusiasm for official career, and directly caused his morale to explode from fish flying in the shallows to eagle shooting in the sky, and his whole body was filled with energy.
Even if this small incident of turmoil is over, it will be over.
A few days later, big political events came.
It is said that the Southern Expedition Army led by Duan Zicheng has arrived at Luzon Port and is anchored there to add supplies.
This is a big deal.
Although Liu Jincheng has now reached the high position of the prefect, compared with the provincial government's third division, he is nothing more than a sesame mung bean. How dare he not pay attention to it?
Therefore, after he was surprised to find out, he hurriedly found his pants and pulled them up. Then he gave special instructions to the Luzon girl on the bed, and then hurried away.
Unexpectedly, the woman looked confused when she heard this: What are you talking about? Could it be that I don’t work hard enough?
Just talking about Liu Jincheng, after he put on his pants, he ran all the way, and he even forgot to call the van.
Half an hour later, even.
"Liu Jincheng, the prefect of Luzon, comes to see the commander, Mr. Duan!"
"Brother Liu Xian, please forgive me! Here, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion in your official career and your great ambition. I hope you will work hard in the future and do everything you can to repay the trust of Sir Qi."
When Liu Jincheng heard the words "do everything personally", the corners of Liu Jincheng's mouth couldn't help but twitch, as if someone had poked his mind.
.
well……
It's hard work, and it's inconvenient to talk to outsiders.
At this time, Qi Xiaotong came forward and said in surprise: "Uncle, why have you become darker and thinner?"
Hearing this, Liu Jincheng hurriedly cupped his hands toward the north and said solemnly: "How can there be no reason not to work hard and worry about the country if we work hard for the country? It is reasonable to reduce the amount of money."
Yeah?
Xiaotong naturally didn't believe it and said with gleaming eyes: "Uncle, could it be that you found a second wife here and then your body was eviscerated?"
"You damn girl, how dare you tease my uncle? Second bedroom, then..." At this point, Liu Jincheng couldn't help but show a guilty conscience and became hesitant.
Something fishy!
From this point of view, it is very likely that my uncle did not practice cleanliness and self-respect.
How about touching his bottom?
Thinking of this, Qi Xiaotong couldn't help but smile and began to plan in her heart.
This matter, but mother's special instructions, must not be forgotten.
She said to herself, don't let your uncle spend all his salary on wild women outside. If so, he might as well not be an official!
Liu Jincheng naturally didn't know what his niece was thinking. His thoughts at the moment were all focused on Duan Zicheng, for fear of treating his powerful boss lightly.
In order to show his hospitality, Magistrate Liu hurriedly arranged a grand banquet to welcome the southern expeditionary army from afar.
In addition, he also specially invited the 'mascot'-like An Le Gong to accompany him to show his importance.
An Le Gong, the former King of Luzon.
During the banquet, there was a lot of drinking and drinking.
No one noticed that Qi Xiaotong suddenly flashed and disappeared inexplicably. When they saw her again, it was already half an hour later.
After the banquet was over, Duan Zicheng immediately proposed that he wanted to inspect the local military.
He is the commander of the entire province, and all military affairs within his jurisdiction are within the scope of his authority. Now that he is here, how can he not get to the bottom of it?
When his superiors ordered, Liu Jincheng was naturally duty-bound and immediately made relevant arrangements.
