It was already midnight when Shen Hao returned home.
The heavy rain in the Imperial City had been pouring all day long and showed no intention of stopping when he left, but here in Fengri City it was as sultry as a steamer at night.
The beginning of September is the hottest period in Fengli City, and after mid-September it will gradually cool down.
Shen Hao went back and took a cold shower. Instead of going back to the bedroom to rest, he locked himself in the study and honestly took out a pen and paper to write a strategy for himself. Even though he had spoken categorically in front of Jiang Cheng before, he was still a little nervous in his heart.
A relatively unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar people, unfamiliar things, and the problems he will face may also be ones he has never experienced before. These things cannot be solved by faith alone, you also need to be prepared.
Shen Hao wrote down what he had and what he lacked on the paper. After revising it repeatedly, he tore the paper off and burned it with a candle.
By writing it down and reading it in my eyes and in my heart, I have sorted out my current reliance and shortcomings.
There are actually a lot to rely on. First of all, it was because Shen Hao personally led a team to the south to carry out the arrest when he was investigating the "Ma San Case". Someone on his face was familiar with him. The local supervisory envoy had also heard of him as a person. His name would be there. Easier to use than other places.
Secondly, Shen Hao has been staring at the south for more than a day or two. It was also because of the initial investigation of the "Ma San Case" that the southern frontier army had many spies from the Fourth Division infiltrating it from both inside and outside. There is also Wu Kai, a general who was caught by Shen Hao early. When the time comes, Shen Hao will naturally not be polite and approach the other party again. reject? You want to get rid of Xuan Qingwei's benefits after taking them once? Dreaming?
The last thing is connections. Shen Hao has never been in the military, and his reputation in the military may not be very good, but this does not prevent him from finding the fulcrum of his connections: Zhang Qian and Gan Lin.
As early as the early days when the situation in the south was tense, Zhang Qian and Gan Lin, as middle-level generals with actual combat experience, were transferred from the garrison to the south. Now they are training in the south. After Shen Hao went there, he had to go around with these two big brothers. Not to mention how much convenience you get from using this network, at least it saves you a lot of time to find out. If you are not sure about any connections, you can just ask them.
The remaining thing that makes Shen Hao feel uneasy is the affairs of Fengri City. This is where his foundation cannot be allowed to slip. Once things start happening in the south, he will have to be stationed there for at least a while. It will be difficult to take care of both sides at that time. For this window period, he has to arrange the things at hand as soon as possible.
Early in the morning, Shen Hao summoned all the main members of the family to the main room while eating. He sat at the table and had breakfast while arranging household chores.
"I will go to the southern frontier army for a period of time by the middle of this month at the latest. The return date is uncertain. Old Hu, you should keep an eye on the family affairs. If you have any questions, please contact Wang Jian or Wang Yiming. They will help handle it."
Although the incident happened suddenly, Hu Tian's reaction was very reliable. He handed it over and showed no panic at all. He was already thinking about how to take good care of his home.
On the other hand, the three fox girls had their mouths flat and did not speak, but their faces were already full of reluctance and reluctance. The two small and even big eyes were slightly red, as if they were about to cry, and they looked like "the adults in the family are going on a long trip." "Looks like a child.
However, Shen Hao was still talking, and no one else in the hall dared to interrupt.
"In addition, I will ask Wang Yiming to send more people to take care of the care at home. If anyone comes to see you during this period, you can just handle it. If there is an emergency, you can contact me directly using Qianli Yin."
There was a Qianli Note at home. It was expensive and inconvenient for ordinary people like Hu Tian to use, so he kept it locked in the cabinet and never used it. It's all used to contact the host in case of emergency. When Shen Hao mentioned Hu Tian, he quickly bowed to express his knowledge.
Finally, Shen Hao pointed at Ma Jiufu and said, "Now that I'm in the army, it will be inconvenient for Xia Nu and others to follow me. You and I can come with you and be responsible for daily living. Clean up as soon as possible."
Ma Jiufu said hurriedly with excitement, grinning excitedly. Being able to travel far away with my master is definitely a sign of my master’s trust and qualifications! He has been keeping an eye on Hu Tian's position as housekeeper, and he is ready to take over when Hu Tian retires. How beautiful will it be then?
Think about it, now the master's family only has one thousand households, and Hu Tian, the butler, can be brothers with ordinary officials. What if the master's family becomes "ten thousand households" in the future? Ma Jiufu felt that he must seize this opportunity to travel far away to show his loyalty to his master and seize this promising job.
When she heard that Ma Jiufu could follow her, Xia Nu pouted and stared, about to speak, but when she met Shen Hao's gaze, she softened instantly. She saw a sentence from the owner's eyes: Stay at home!
"Also, the situation in the south has become increasingly tense recently. Don't let the three fox girls at home go out, even if they are accompanied by guards. To avoid any trouble."
After saying that, Hu Tian came over to talk to Shen Hao about some family matters, and only after asking clearly did he dare to let the master go. Xia Nu, on the other hand, led Hongsi and Jinxiu, who had reddish eyes, to Shen Hao's bedroom in a depressed manner. Before going on a long journey, you should pack your master's clothes first. It's hot in the south, so just bring light clothes. Bring a few extra pairs of boots and a fan. I heard that if you are going to fight, you should also bring inner armor...
Shen Hao went back to the bedroom and wanted to say something. When he saw that Xia Nu was packing her things with her back to the door, he didn't go in. He shook his head and turned to leave.
When he arrived at the Qianhu Office, Wang Yiming called all four general bannermen in Fengri City's jurisdiction over for a lecture, and made arrangements for recent affairs and the direction of performing duties in the second half of the year. Although no one here asked much, they could feel in their hearts that their master was about to leave?
After that, Wang Yiming was left behind and Wang Jian and Zhang Liao were found.
Shen Hao had nothing to hide from his confidants. Tell them roughly the arrangement relayed by Jiang Cheng.
"The Fourth Department immediately shifted its focus to the southern frontier army to help me open up the situation. In addition, long-term communication channels must be established as soon as possible along the lines of Tanshi, Haixia, Yucheng, and Fengri City."
Wang Jian stood up quickly and said: "Please don't worry, sir. I will prepare immediately after I return. The contact channel is easy to handle. I have done it once before when I infiltrated the Slave Chamber of Commerce and went deep into the southern barbarian land. I can continue to use it after reconsolidating it this time." .”
"During my absence, other matters cannot be suspended. Continue to advance according to the arrangements I have given you. If you encounter difficulties, you can find a way to solve them. If you really can't solve them, you can come to me and I will find a way..."
Just two days later, a notice of adjustment of powers was sent directly to the Xuanqing Guard Qianhu Office in Fengri City, and at the same time, it was advertised to the world in the form of official newspapers.
"...Adjust the powers of the supervisory envoy in the Xuanqing Guard Army, and define the responsibility of supervising the supervisory army as the new powers of the supervisory envoy...Order Shen Hao, deputy Qianhu of the Black Flag Battalion in Fengri City Immediately go to the Yamen, the general manager of the southern military affairs department, to take over the position of supervisory officer..."
