Chapter 002: Destined Person
On the tenth day of September, it is advisable to travel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After two busy days, Gu Jialuo finally packed his luggage.
Truth be told, there's nothing to pack up.
The couple came to the southwest for three years, and when they came, they only brought people's hands, clothes, porcelain furnishings and simple daily necessities. I didn't bring anything like large furniture.
All the furniture in the back office is basically custom-made when Wusa was found. The materials are ordinary, and when I first did it, I had the idea of 'emergency will be enough', thinking that when I was in office, I could just leave these to the next official.
Now that he is really leaving, Gu Jialuo naturally won't bring these bulky guys with him.
On the contrary, there are several wagons of various specialties in the southwest, pepper from plantations, wild and precious medicinal materials, top ingredients and furs, silverware, jade, and jade...... Gu Jialuo ordered several copies of everything to be prepared, giving them away, keeping them for his own use, and even saving them for his daughters as a dowry.
Basically, Gu Jialuo's time was spent preparing these 'Tuyi' and arranging follow-up matters, and as for packing luggage or something, it really didn't take much time.
"There is a Xie family on the plantation, and even if the new prefect arrives, there will not be much change in the first few years."
Gu Jialuo put the ledger and the key to the warehouse on the tray together, and motioned for Ziwei to take it out and hand it to the left-behind shopkeeper outside the screen, "As for the salt farm, the uncle has already reported the matter of Zhuo Tsujing to the imperial court, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household will soon send people to investigate the field." Once confirmed, the imperial court would take over the mining of well salt. Our family's salt works will also be purchased by the government. ”
When it came to the salt farm, Gu Jialuo was a little depressed. I finally found a shortcut to get rich, and I didn't want to be forced to be exposed before I had much output.
Fortunately, Qi Jinzhi was alert, and took the opportunity to report back to Beijing to report on his work, and took the initiative to report the 'invention' of Zhuo Tube Well in advance, and made a detailed report on the current situation of well salt in the southwest mountainous area.
The sage heard that well salt can still be mined in large quantities, and the most important thing is that it can temporarily alleviate the salt problem in the southwest mountainous area, help attract mountain people down the mountain, and appease the local people.
Qi Jinzhi was able to be directly transferred from the small prefect in a remote place to the capital, and he could also enter the real power yamen like Dali Temple, although there were reasons such as Qi Jinzhi's outstanding political achievements and strong backing, but Zhuo Tsutsui's incident made him greatly brush his sense of existence in front of the sage.
In addition, Qi Jinzhi's life is good, even if it is an ancient officialdom, it is also a face-to-face.
The sage personally summoned Qi Jinzhi and took a look: Yo, the young man is really good-looking, white, clean, handsome and handsome, standing in the main hall, his posture is tall like a small poplar.
What satisfies the saint the most is that Qi Jinzhi is not the kind of weak little white face, he has a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and he also has the spirit of the army between his actions, which makes people like it when they look at it.
Appearance plus temperament, proper full marks.
Thinking of Master Miaozhen who was still in a coma, and the child who was far away in the southwest, the saint's heart that was already cold and hard as iron was rarely soft, not only praised Qi Jinzhi in public for being 'young and promising' and 'worthy of great responsibility', but also waved his pen and personally transferred Qi Jinzhi back to the capital, and let him go to Dali Temple to be a right-hand man of the fifth grade.
Ascension, Qi Jinzhi This is an absolute ascension.
Originally, the Beijing officials were so one rank higher than the local officials, and the Wumeng prefect of Qi Jinzhi was a bit 'unworthy of the name', which was the product of many reasons, and it was a special case of the Great Qi officialdom.
But this time Dali Temple is different, Qi Jinzhi passed the 'big test' of the official department's eight classics, and passed the sage's 'interview', relying on real political achievements to rise.
Except that he is incredibly young, and apart from the fact that he is not from a professional background, there is nothing else to blame.
Even so, no one in the DPRK and China secretly criticized it, after all, Qi Jinzhi's political achievements were too dazzling.
Are you not convinced? Okay, let's talk about it.
Excuse me, if it were you, would you be able to wipe out all the bandits in Umeng in just three years? Can you destroy King Xiaoliang?
What the? This is a warrior's errand, and it is not under the control of you, the prefect (or prefect).
Okay, then let's not mention this one, let's compare the governance of the place.
In other words, if you have been in power for three years, can you reclaim 1,000 hectares of wasteland and increase the population by 3,000 households? Can we double the task of a 'particularly poor county' that cannot complete taxes and forced labor every year? Can it make a 'wild place' with no official roads and no post stations open to the road and post stations continuous? You can...... Are there some measures that benefit thousands of people, such as digging canals to open up rivers, overhauling terraces, and vigorously supporting farmers' characteristic planting?
Oh, why are they all dumb? Hehe, you can't do it, can you?
But they did it.
Not only did they do it, but they did it in just three years, and they turned a chaotic place where Tartars and mountain bandits roamed around into a stable and harmonious paradise of the Celestial Empire.
How can such a capable and dedicated official not be reused?
The court has clear rewards and punishments, and the sage knows how to make good use of it, and has discovered the talent of Qi Jinzhi, you are good, you dare to criticize your incompetence? Is this looking for death or looking for death?
People who have been in the court for a long time have no fools, and after three years of cold eyes, everyone also understands the preference of the saint (to be exact, Master Miaozhen) for Qi Jinzhi, they are kicked in the brain by a donkey, so they will contradict the saint in the matter of Qi Jinzhi.
Therefore, Qi Jinzhi was promoted to Beijing unusually, and no one in the DPRK had any objections.
What's more, in order to give face to Qi Jinzhi, a big red man in front of the saint, the officials actually agreed to his recommendation and appointed Ma Zicheng as the new prefect of Wumeng.
Who is Ma Cheng?
The eldest son of Qi Jinzhi's second uncle Ma Hanping, and Qi Jinzhi's third cousin.
is different from Ma Hanze, Ma Hanping was born in Jinshi, and he is an orthodox scholar.
Ma Zicheng, as his eldest son, was strictly taught by him since he was a child, and became a rare 'little talent' in the elite circle in Beijing at a young age.
The county lord of Qinghe and the second brother Ma Hanping have the best relationship, and even with Qi Jinzhi and Ma Zicheng, the two little brothers are also very close, Ma Zicheng is four years older than Qi Jinzhi, and before Qi Jinzhi was not thrown into the southwest camp by his father, he was almost inseparable from Ma Zicheng and Jiao Meng.
As a young master in charge of military power, Qi Jinzhi went to take the imperial examination in a strange way, and the reason for this was that he was influenced and pampered by Ma Zicheng.
Later, Qi Jinzhi went to the southwest, and Ma Zicheng also went to the sixth department under his father's arrangement to become a small official polishing, and the two brothers gradually separated.
The distance is far away, but the relationship between each other has not been broken, and the correspondence between the two is very frequent.
When 'Gu Jialuo' red apricot came out of the wall, the county lord of Qinghe did not tell him in order not to distract and stimulate his son.
But Qi Jinzhi still knew, it was because of Ma Zicheng's ventilation report.
Now Qi Jinzhi is planning to transfer back to Beijing, although Wumeng's side is already on the right track, but for the sake of insurance, it is safer to choose someone who is good with him to take over as the prefect.
Qi Jinzhi thought about it, discussed it carefully with his parents, and finally decided to recommend Ma Zicheng.
First, the relationship between Ma Zicheng and Qi Jinzhi is irreversible, Wumeng is in his hands, and Qi Jinzhi and the Qi family can't suffer.
Second, Ma admits that he is from the Ma family, a famous family, and recommends him, whether it is a saint or a ministry, he will not refuse for the sake of Queen Ma and the prince.
Thirdly, Ma Zicheng has outstanding ability, and in the past few years, he has experienced a circle in the six departments, accumulated a lot of experience, and needs to be delegated to practice it well. When he goes to Umeng, he will never mess around at will, and Umeng will get better and better.
"Fortunately, it was the cousin of the Ma family who took over, and Mr. Ji can continue to stay in the mansion, and I can rest assured that these things in the back office can stay."
Gu Jialuo sent out the shopkeepers who remained behind, rubbed his sour neck, and said to Ziwei casually.
"yes,"
Ziwei nodded with emotion, her eyes swept over the furniture in the room one by one, and she said with a little reluctance: "It's not that the maid is stingy, these furniture look simple and unpretentious, in fact, they are all excellent things, and they are carefully made by the grandmother." If it is left to a stranger, the servant is really a little reluctant. ”
Gu Jialuo also looked around, with a slight wrenching tone in his tone, "It's been three years in the blink of an eye, and these things have also made it easy...... Okay, let's not talk about that, it's still important to get down to business. ”
Ziwei hurriedly agreed, "Yes." Grandma, the rough envoys of the back office have sent them according to your wishes, giving double the salary and a farewell red envelope. In addition......"
The vast majority of the subordinates of the Hou Ya are the slaves and maids of the Qi family, but in the back gate, the front ya, etc., some locals are still temporarily employed.
Gu Jialuo is leaving, so he naturally has to arrange these people properly.
Gu Jialuo nodded and continued: "There are also officials and dependents in the southwest, I am leaving, it stands to reason that I should set up a banquet before leaving, and invite them to come and sit down." But there are still important things in the capital, and I can't hurry up, so I can only send some gifts, and you tell the people below you that when you give the gifts, you will apologize to the ladies and grandmothers on my behalf. ”
Gu Jialuo said, and Ziwei agreed.
Gu Jialuo paused for a moment, and suddenly added: "By the way, the gift for my aunt must be given at the end." ”
Ziwei was stunned for a moment, then understood, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, the maid understands!" ”
The news that Gu Jialuo was leaving had not yet spread, and the reason why Zhan Azhuo was able to know was that she was in Wumeng, and secondly, she was paying special attention. But others didn't know that Gu Yiren was going back to Beijing.
Naturally, Shuixi won't know.
Ziwei thought secretly, it is estimated that the Chu family is still thinking about how to stuff the Chu family sisters to the uncle.
Gu Jialuo deliberately asked people to give gifts and say goodbye at the end, just to catch the Chu family off guard. In case the Chu family knew in advance and directly cheekily let the Chu family sisters accompany him, Gu Jialuo would definitely be disgusted all the way.
Ziwei deeply understood the meaning of the master, not only arranged for someone to give gifts to the Chu family last, but also specially told the gift-giving officer to be sure to wait for the grandmother's frame to leave Wumeng before sending the things and letters to Shuixi.
Therefore, when Gu Jialuo took his two daughters and led a large group of people and horses out of Wumeng City and set foot on the newly built official road, Shuixi didn't know about it.
By the time the Chu clan was angry and crumpled Gu Jialuo's handwritten apology and farewell letter into a paper ball, Gu Jialuo had already crossed Shuixi and went straight to Shudi.
"Yiren, how do I think this road is different from when we came."
Zhou Wenyuan's wife was invited by Gu Jialuo to sit in the spacious and comfortable carriage, she lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, and said with some doubts.
A flash of pride flashed in Gu Jialuo's eyes, and he replied with a smile: "It's the same path." ”
There were many words, but she didn't say them. The reason is very simple, the reason why there is a difference is due to the governance of her husband.
The originally rugged mountain roads are wide and flat, and the barren mountain villages have post stations, and every change is a political achievement of Qi Jinzhi.
Zhou Niangzi quickly reacted, and hurriedly praised sincerely: "Ouch, look at me, it is indeed the same road, but our Lord Qi is too capable, and he has managed such a wild place to a different appearance." Pleasant, no wonder the people of Wumeng praise Lord Qi is 'Qingtian', in my opinion, our Lord Qi does live up to the reputation of 'Qingtian'. ”
Zhou Niangzi's heart was even more proud of her original decision, hey, it's right to persuade Fujun to follow Lord Qi, look, it's only been three years, and Lord Qi has been promoted several levels in a row, and he has returned to the capital.
The speed of this promotion is simply a wing.
With such a toon, there is definitely a future.
The most important thing is that Qi Jinzhi is generous, acts openly, and takes care of his subordinates.
Look at Meng Fu, he was born so obscenely, even if he was a two-rank jinshi, he couldn't pass the selection of the officials.
can follow Qi Jinzhi, but in just two years, he became a county parent. Although he is a little more remote, he finally has an official body, and he is backed by the big tree of the Qi family, so he will be promoted in the future.
The more Zhou Niangzi thought about it, the more excited she became, her husband was cut off from the imperial examination because of her father-in-law's name. Fortunately, he caught up with Lord Qi, and he did the main book of a house, and now he was able to follow Lord Qi back to Beijing and enter Dali Temple as an official.
Although he is only a small official from the eighth grade, he has officially entered the officialdom, and he only needs to follow Master Qi well in the future, and his career will not be bad.
Ever since she knew that her family could return to Beijing with Gu Yiren, Zhou Niangzi was very excited, and her heart was full of gratitude to the Qi couple, and her words of praise were extremely sincere.
Gu Jia Luo even said, 'It's funny, it's too famous', but his heart is as sweet as drinking honey.
However, this good mood did not last long.
At noon, after a simple lunch at the post station, Gu Jialuo watched the nurses feed their two daughters and put them to sleep, and then returned to the carriage with confidence.
As soon as he entered the carriage, Xiao Shijiu rushed over.
"There's new news in Beijing?" Gu Jialuo asked eagerly, "How is the master?" Have you ever woken up? ”
"There is indeed a letter in the capital," Xiao Shijiu nodded, shook his head again, leaned into Gu Jialuo's ear and whispered: "The master is still unconscious, Qi Yao's family wrote a prescription, but the medicine is difficult to find, and the princesses, princes, and county lords in the palace have jumped out to help, but nothing works...... The saint gave an order to help the master find the 'destined person'......"
