Chapter 186: Yangzhou

Xuanhui broke the pine nut candy into small pieces and sent it to Liang Hao's mouth, and said: "Your side concubine has been boiling medicine since the Chinese New Year, and my sister-in-law asked what the disease was, whether she wanted to ask a doctor, and she said no." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info sister-in-law happened to have some free time today, so I went over to take a look in person. ”

Liang Zan said angrily: "Since she said that she is not sick, don't pay attention to it, your sister-in-law is a solid eye!" ”

Xuan Hui pursed his lips and said, "Third brother, you said it lightly, leave your sister-in-law alone, and the ready-made words are on the lips of others." If only I were fine, anyway, the princess of Da Zhou has always been rude and unreasonable. But sister-in-law and you are both people who need a good reputation, otherwise why will they succeed their fathers and mothers in the future? ”

Liang Zan said with a smile: "The fist is hard enough, and if you can fight the world, you can naturally succeed your father." ”

"What about sister-in-law? If she has a bad reputation, the one behind her will stand on tiptoe and wait! ”

Liang Zan was silent, and only after a while did he say: "I know this." ”

After a while, he took out a letter from his bosom and said unhappily: "The letter from Shenzhi to you, I don't usually see that he is such a child-like person...... You tell him to stuff the letter in the letter to me next time, and I'm afraid that someone will peek at his letter and won't be able to do it! It's so ostentatious to get a separate one in this way, so that even the soldiers who sent the letter know about it! ”

Xuan Hui smiled and snatched the letter from his hand, thanked him quickly, turned around and kissed Liang Hao, then lifted the hem of his skirt and ran to Zhishuangzhai.

As soon as he ran into the door, Xuanhui rushed to the bookcase, found a cutter and came out, carefully opened the letter, and read it with joy.

Pei Minzhong didn't say anything important in the letter, it was all trivial daily life. A thick pile of paper, looking at the ink, is not written in a day. From the weather in Xuzhou, to the wildflowers blooming in the fields outside the city, from the carp in the Yellow River, to the city walls of Kaifeng City.

It was as if anything he had encountered, he had it in his heart. When I have time, I write it on a piece of paper and tell Xuanhui. Even if Xuan Hui is far away in Jinling, as long as he thinks about it all the time, it is as if she is beside him.

Xuanhui held the letter and read it over and over again, watching the familiar handwriting beating in front of her eyes, she felt happy in her heart. waited until she fell asleep on the pillow, and Jingyun gently took the letter out of Xuanhui's hand, folded it and put it under the pillow.

In mid-April, the first scientific expedition presided over by Liang Zan was released, and a total of 39 Jinshi were recorded, and Xue Yuanhan and Meng Tingfang's brothers were on the list.

It happened that there was a vacancy in Jiangning County, Jinling Prefecture, and Liang Zan asked Meng Gongzi to fill the vacancy, which was not only a reward for Meng Ye's early support of himself, but also an attitude of appointing young talents.

Liang Zan said to Xue Yuanhan again: "I should have found a county for you to experience and experience, but I lack a long history around me, and no one is as good as you to tell me to rest assured." Although it is an official position in the palace, when I return to the capital in the future, I will let you out to be a two-term feudal official. You have both fame and foreign experience, and when the time comes, no one will dare to say anything when you enter the cabinet. ”

Xue Yuanhan nodded, and Liang Zan smiled: "You should also understand that this time is different from the past. In the past, Changshi was only in charge of the affairs of the palace, but now that our major affairs are adjudicated in the palace, don't feel that the burden on your body is lighter. ”

Xue Yuanhan also smiled: "I am valued by the prince, I will do my best and do my best." ”

Liang Zan said: "I'm already a Jinshi master, but do I still want to call you Ayuan?" ”

Xue Yuanhan said with a smile: "I forgot to tell the prince, Mr. Huang has already given me a word, called Wenxian." ”

Liang Zan laughed and said: "The article is prominent, and the people are capable. Huangshan knows what I expect from you. He suddenly changed his words: "As the new long history of the palace, I will give you an errand." Three or five people have reported to me, saying that the prefect of Yangzhou is greedy and cruel. I know that he is friendly with those big salt merchants, and that there is a war going on right now, and this is not the time to put the officials in order. You go and warn him on my behalf, if you don't restrain yourself, don't blame my men for being ruthless! ”

"There is also Qian Changyin, who has always been at odds with the Yangzhou prefect. This time, you go to his house to sit down, bring some rewards from the palace, and knock on the mountain to shake the prefect who doesn't know the height of the sky! ”

When Xue Yuanhan heard Qian Changyin, he remembered the tearful face by Xiliu Lake. I might be able to see her this time, but what should I say when we meet?

Before Xue Yuanhan set off, Yang Yunshu and Xuanhui both sent some things over and asked him to bring them to Qian Liniang. With errands and heavy gifts, the new governor of the palace set off for Yangzhou.

The group set off before dawn, rode all the way, and finally rushed to Yangzhou City in the evening.

Because of the convenience of the canal, Yangzhou was an important economic town in the south of the Yangtze River hundreds of years ago. The salt of the Huaibei salt field was smuggled out, and it was sent to Huguang, Jiujiang and other places through Yangzhou, and the profit was not less than a thousand gold.

However, because of his business status, even the rich and rival countries were not valued by the scholar class. That's why there are people like Qian Liniang's father, who desperately give up most of his furniture and daughter, and also make friends with a noble man like Liang Zhan.

Xue Yuanhan took people to find an inn to stay, and went to Yangzhou Mansion early the next morning. When the prefect saw him coming, he was very enthusiastic, and he just had to greet him.

After Xue Yuanhan relayed Liang Zhan's meaning, the prefect began to pour bitter water: "Xue Changshi, the two of you don't know the situation at this bottom. Especially in the territory of Yangzhou, those big businessmen are all very poor, so rich and still think about how to avoid taxes and forced labor every day. If I don't use some means, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it! ”

Xue Yuanhan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Although I haven't seen Yangzhou Mansion, no matter how difficult it is for you to do it, it can't be as difficult as Jing Zhaoyin, right?" A small state capital will embarrass you like this, and it seems that it is more appropriate to let you do the following county ordinance......"

When the prefect heard this, he was so frightened that the beads of sweat on his head oozed out one by one. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Xue Changshi is a joker. The prince reprimanded him very much, the lower officials are a little impatient on weekdays, and they don't talk about means, and they must correct it in the future, and they must correct it! ”

Xue Yuanhan took a sip of tea with a smile and said lightly: "After talking about cool, let's talk about this greedy thing......

The prefect hated the root of his teeth in his heart, but he had to smile and say: "The lower officials will also correct it, and please pay attention to the prince and Changshi to watch the after-effects!" ”

Xue Yuanhan put down the teacup with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Although the prince looks generous on his face, he is the most impatient with officials like you. The first time I warned, but I didn't do it again, remember? ”

The prefect hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted, "Remember! Xia Guan remembered! ”

Out of Yangzhou Mansion, Xue Yuanhan looked at the sky, and asked someone to go to Qian Mansion to post a post, saying that he would visit tomorrow. Then he pulled the gatekeeper at the door of the government and asked: "What kind of Baihuali, Baihua Street, and Baihuafang do you have in Yangzhou City?" ”
