Chapter 484: In Quanzhou (1)
The marriage of the prince is certainly a happy event, but it is only a happy event.
Zhu Wenkui's movement this time is much smaller than when Zhu Yunwen married Ma Enhui.
There is no amnesty, no big money, not to mention the whole city is red and officials are on holiday.
What should Nanjing look like, even Zhu Wenkui's marriage was only seven days, and as soon as the holiday was over, he obediently ran into the Ministry of Rites to report on his work.
Zhu Yunwen didn't have much effort to take care of his eldest son, who had become an independent family, but carefully chose an errand for Zhu Wenqi.
Quanzhou Department of Commerce and Trade.
Because Quanzhou is a directly administered province, the level of specifications is almost the same as that of a local province, so the subordinate institutions are benchmarked against the provincial yamen.
Directly arranged Zhu Wenqi to such a critical yamen, Zhu Yunwen thought about it for more than two months before making up his mind.
After all, Wenqi is not his eldest brother, he is smarter, has a lot of ideas, and the most important thing is that he is independent.
"The situation in Quanzhou is complicated, and the water is deeper, and you have high hopes for you to go to Quanzhou's most important business and trade department to exercise."
Before leaving, Zhu Yunwen also sent Zhu Wenkui all the way out of Nanjing City, and admonished earnestly in the carriage: "Airborne in Quanzhou, the resistance you encounter will be far greater than when your eldest brother went to Fengyang, and the problems you encounter will be much more difficult, but no matter what, I believe you can handle it well." ”
Zhu Wenqi held his breath and solemnly responded: "Please rest assured, my father, it's just a Quanzhou." ”
"Quanzhou is a big mansion and a very rich mansion."
Zhu Yunwen is still a little uneasy: "Quanzhou involves more than forty percent of the country's shipping, more than one percent of the annual income, Quanzhou's population composition is also complicated, the local Hakka, our Han nationality, and a large number of foreigners.
Although you only grasp one point of commerce, but commerce is the most important division of more than a dozen departments in Quanzhou, which must affect the whole body, and all aspects of the relationship are intertwined in your one point.
Be cautious. ”
As soon as this person got older, he became a lot more like nagging, Zhu Wenqi looked at his father, puffed up his chest, and said in a firm tone: "Please rest assured that my father will never live up to my father's trust." ”
After speaking, he knelt down in his robe, and kowtowed three times with a choked voice: "The son left Beijing this time, only thinking that his father can take care of the holy bow, although the state affairs are redundant, he still hopes that his father will focus on the dragon body, although he knows that the weight of the society is not as important as that of his father." ”
Zhu Yunwen, who was very relieved, helped Zhu Wenqi up and shook the latter's shoulder: "Okay, let's go." ”
Zhu Wenqi said goodbye, then turned around, walked out of the compartment with his head held high, the sound of footsteps, Zhu Yunwen watched through the car window, watching his second son get on the prepared carriage outside the city, and embarked on the journey south under the escort of a team of brocade guards.
"Emperor, let's go back to the palace."
Shuangxi asked for a word, and after getting permission, he passed the order.
For Zhu Wenqi's arrangement this time, Zhu Yunwen was indeed undecided for a long time, including discussing the feasibility of this matter with Yang Shiqi.
Whether or not he can gain a foothold in Quanzhou will be directly related to Zhu Wenqi's image.
And it is not enough to stand alone, but also to be able to manage the development of Quanzhou, a commercial giant, especially the shipping and transshipment of Quanzhou, which has tens of thousands of ships a day and a daily cargo throughput of millions of catties, which has too many so-called 'human feelings'.
Corruption in Quanzhou is still high, and every year it kills and arrests it, and batch after batch of newly appointed officials should be greedy or greedy, and this is the reality.
Zhu Yunwen has never hoped that his ideals can be realized, because what can be achieved is not called an ideal.
There is always a difference between the ideal and the reality.
If Zhu Wenqi is asked to find out his identity and go down with Shang Fang's sword, it will not play any role in exercising.
The great thing about bureaucracy is that they come together and can present you with whatever you want to see, depending on who you are.
At that time, Zhu Wenqi stayed in Quanzhou for a few years, and he didn't come into contact with any deep-seated areas, and he didn't learn anything, and then he carried a thick so-called report card, which looked dazzling, but in fact, the problem was not solved at all.
It doesn't work out any workouts.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger.
Zhu Yunwen's worries are by no means groundless, at least Zhu Wenqi has just entered the boundary of Quanzhou, and he can already feel a kind of exclusion and neglect from the inside out.
This feeling became even stronger as he arrived in Quanzhou City and saw the greeting procession led by Quanzhou Tongzhi and other officials.
"Welcome Zhu Sizheng to Quanzhou."
The walls of Quanzhou City are not tall, and it can be seen that they have not been repaired for a long time, but the city gate is extremely wide, and at least seven or eight carriages can pass side by side.
The asphalt avenue that is not inferior to Nanjing, the same meticulous planning of intra-city transportation, row upon row of new high-rise buildings and countless tinkling new construction sites and new real estate under construction, Zhu Wenqi saw that it was a city that was more prosperous than Nanjing.
"Don't dare, I'm ashamed to be welcomed."
Zhu Wenqi got out of the car, walked forward quickly, and saluted with his fists first: "Xiaguan Zhu Meikun has seen Ma Tongzhi and your colleagues. ”
American words, the lineage of the Jin king, this is Zhu Wenqi's new identity to Quanzhou.
An amulet that can save him a little trouble to a certain extent.
After the guest of honor greeted him, Zhu Wenqi stepped forward and shook the big hand of Ma Qiliang, the same knowledge of Quanzhou, with both hands: "Before the future of the lower officials, he often listened to the prosperity of Quanzhou in Nanjing, and it was a pity that he had not been able to witness it with his own eyes.
This is all the leadership of the predecessors of the Quanzhou prefect Yamen, and it is a blessing for the lower officials to see you. ”
Touted by this, Ma Qiliang was also complex, his backbone was a little straighter, and he laughed twice, although he didn't dare, he was also proud, which was obviously quite useful.
"Fuzun is busy with government affairs, so it is inconvenient to welcome him in person, but he also set up a big banquet at the Quanzhou reception to wash the dust for Zhu Sizheng."
"There is work, there is work."
The two of them exchanged a few more polite words, and Ma Qiliang took Zhu Wenqi to get to know the officials at all levels in the greeting team one by one, and every time they introduced one, it was naturally inevitable that there would be some cumbersome chatter.
In general, the specifications of the team to welcome Zhu Wenqi this time are not low, there are 14 divisions in Quanzhou, and a full 11 divisions have come, except for Zhu Wenqi, who has just taken up the new business department, only the Quanzhou Metropolitan Inspectorate under the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Quanzhou General Judgment Division under the Dali Temple have not arrived.
The Metropolitan Investigation and the General Judgment are vertical management bodies, and even the Quanzhou Prefect Yamen has no right to interfere in the affairs of the two divisions.
What is a clan?
Daming has hundreds of clansmen for so many years, if all of them are ancestors, what would the country still look like.
The other eleven divisions that came to greet them were the newly listed yamen after the political restructuring and renaming of the court, namely the Quanzhou Household Administration Department with the responsibility of the Ministry of Households, the Quanzhou Officials Division with the responsibilities of the Ministry of Officials, the Quanzhou Public Works Division with the responsibilities of the Ministry of Industry, the Quanzhou Judicial Division with the responsibilities of the Criminal Department, the Quanzhou Foreign Affairs Department with the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites, the Quanzhou Military and Military Affairs Department with the responsibilities of the Ministry of War, the Quanzhou Taxation Department with the responsibilities of the Ministry of Taxation, the Quanzhou Education Department with the responsibilities of the Ministry of Education, the Quanzhou State-owned Resources Department with the responsibilities of the Ministry of State-owned Resources, and the Quanzhou State-owned Resources Department with the responsibilities of the Ministry of State-owned Resources. The Quanzhou Metropolitan Department under the leadership of the Five Military Governments and the Quanzhou Prefect's Yamen directly led the Quanzhou General Administration Division, which was established in imitation of the functions of the General Administration Department.
As for the Quanzhou Group Army of the Navy under the General Staff of the Minglian, it is not in the greeting ranks, so it is necessary to abide by the principle that the military and the government are not connected.
Listing the prefix to these units is something to be aware of.
For example, the full name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the Quanzhou Metropolitan Inspectorate of the Ming Metropolitan Procuratorate, which belongs to a vertical management organization.
The name of the Ministry of Officials is the Department of Quanzhou Officials of the Ming Dynasty, although he exercises the same responsibilities as the Ministry of Officials, but it is under the direct management of the Yamen of the Quanzhou Prefect, and it is restructured and transferred to Quanzhou by the former Department of Officials.
The name of the Quanzhou Metropolitan Division is the Ming Southern Army Governor's Office in Quanzhou Command Embassy, which is directly led by the Southern Army Governor's Office in the Five Military Governments, even if it is the commander of the Metropolitan Envoy, there is no complete autonomy, any transfer of troops and more than a certain amount of armaments need to be reported to Nanjing for approval.
That's where the differences in the details and the need for local attention.
In political matters, even a single mistake is a big mistake.
After Zhu Wenqi recognized his face one by one, he sat back in the carriage, and entered the city with dozens of carriages outside the city gate, and the convoy drove all the way to the Quanzhou Reception House, a towering eight-story restaurant.
"It's not time for the reception yet, let's accompany Zhu Sizheng to visit this reception place."
Ma Qiliang opened his head, causing a chorus of echoes, and Zhu Wenqi was not easy to refuse, so he naturally responded.
"This floor is a hall, there's nothing to see, let's go up."
The group did not take the artificial elevator, but instead climbed up the stairs, and climbed up layer after layer.
"This eighth floor is where the banquet is located, sitting here can overlook most of Quanzhou City, and the scenery here is even more beautiful at night."
Ma Qiliang only said casually: "There is nothing to see now, we have to wait for the evening, especially those cruise ships on the sea to hang up the lights, when the blue waves will be brightly lit, which makes people feel relaxed and happy." ”
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Zhu Wenqi looked through the still mottled and impurities of the mirror, and he was a little stupid for a while.
Although the palace is good, it is not a distant view.
And the Nanjing Imperial Palace is not allowed to build high-rise buildings within five miles, although it is impossible for the people to vacate the place in their own homes to jingle the casting cannon, but the craftsman to make a crossbow bed is very simple, this has to drive to the high-rise building, rushing to the palace a frenzy, can you stand it?
This is the first time Zhu Wenqi has stood at such a high place to watch the scenery.
"If Zhu Si is tired of shopping, you can go back to the room first."
Ma Qiliang pointed to a door not far away with the number 'Spring 708' and said: "After a long journey, you can rest for a while, and when you turn around, someone will come to invite Zhu Sizheng." ”
This is exactly what Zhu Wenqi wants, he has been sitting in the car for several days, and he really hasn't had a good rest, plus he has climbed high and low for more than half an hour, and his legs are sore, so he didn't politely shirk it, and said goodbye and pushed the door in.
Outside the door, Ma Qiliang and the others watched Zhu Wenqi enter the room, and they all smiled and left.
In that room, the group of them prepared a small 'meeting gift' for Zhu Wenqi.
It's just that this meeting gift made Zhu Wenqi really unacceptable.
A white-skinned and beautiful foreigner who is almost naked in clothes!
