Ning Yu and Li Fu hated to see each other late, and they had a consensus in many aspects, so they took advantage of the conversation to drink in the middle of the night, and then Ning Yu was really unbearable, so he left Li Fu and found a place to sleep groggily.

When Ning Yu woke up, he found that it was already noon, and several maids walked over slowly, prepared the towel and water basin one by one, and waited for Ning Yu to get up and serve Ning Yu to wash. This kind of luxurious life has not been in Ning Yu for a long time, and the days in the army all the year round have made Ning Yu's bones a little rusty, and he is a little unaccustomed to such a warm fragrance of nephrite at this time.

"What kind of place is this? Why didn't I remember anything last night? Ning Yu rubbed his somewhat heavy head and asked in a low voice.

"If you go back to your lordship, this is the governor's yamen, and the adults were drunk last night, so Lord Zhou arranged the adults here." The maid replied softly.

Only then did Ning Yu remember that since he entered the city, he had occupied the governor's yamen as his office. However, these maids have no impression, and they seem to be a group of people who have just been temporarily arranged.

However, Ning Yu is also more relieved in his heart, the person who is now in charge of his own life is Zhou Tong, the son of Steward Zhou, who has been with him for many years, so Ning Yu has always let Zhou Tong be in charge of all this.

"What about Mr. Lee? Where is it now? Ning Yu asked while wiping his face with a hot towel.

"Back to my lord, Lord Li was also drunk yesterday and arranged it in the courtyard next door." The maid is quite clever, and she answers questions with a clear look, thinking that these maids who have been kept in the governor's yamen all the year round have already developed such an ability to observe words and feelings.

"My lord, the hour is coming, isn't it time to go to the yamen?" Ning Si's voice came from outside the door, and his voice was a little rough and bold.

"Don't you know how happy it is to sleep in, this guy?"

Ning Yu slandered in his heart, but he also knew that he had arranged a meeting with the surrendered Jiangxi officials in advance today, and the focus was on buying people's hearts, but it was not easy to shirk. This meeting will be directly related to whether the whole of Jiangxi can really become the help of the Han Army.

At present, under the banner of the Fu Han Army, it has initially included the three provinces of Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi, just because the Fu Han Army itself originated in Huguang and had a very close relationship with the local gentry and landlords, so it could be quickly digested after occupying, so as to provide a steady stream of troops and materials for the Fu Han Army.

But the situation in Jiangxi is completely different, the local forces here still have a certain hostility to the entry of the Fu Han army, and they are also more effective in assisting the Qing army, but after the Fu Han army occupies the whole territory of Jiangxi, the current Jiangxi landlords and gentry will also face a new choice.

Therefore, Ning Yu also attaches great importance to this meeting, but there has been a good start, that is, Li Fu, who has just defected, was born in Linchuan, Jiangxi, and is a representative of the Jiangxi gentry.

Of course, at the same time, Ning Yu also prepared a gift to the local forces in Jiangxi - he will appoint Li Fu as the governor of the southbound governor's mansion, which almost handed over all the political affairs of the southbound governor's mansion to Li Fu to take care of, and almost became the second person in the entire governor's mansion. This was unprecedented before, not only to win over the gentry in Jiangxi, but also to recognize Li Fu.

If he hadn't understood Li Fu's nature, Ning Yu would have given him the position of the main book at most to show his favor. But since experiencing yesterday's persuasion and drinking, Ning Yu has deeply discovered the talent in this person, which can be called the great talent of the country, and if he does not use this great talent, it is called a waste.

After a while, Ning Yu was dressed neatly, except for a faint smell of wine in his mouth, there was no other gaffe, wearing a rather luxurious brocade robe, but it was very different from the usual capable military uniform. However, this is also Ning Yu's intention, in his opinion, if he still wears a military uniform to go to the meeting, I am afraid that it will look too murderous, which is not conducive to easing the atmosphere, but now that he is like this, it is easier to get close.

After leaving the gate, Ning Yu found that Li Fu was also standing outside the door at this time, he bowed and bowed, and said with a smile: "Governor, this wine was refreshing yesterday, thank you here." ”

The corners of Ning Yu's mouth rose slightly, and he said softly: "Today, I still need to be accompanied by Mr., let's go and see the customs of Jiangxi together, Mr. should have time, right?" ”

"I don't dare to ask for it. Jiangxi people are outstanding, the literary style is prosperous, and the Shilin literary world is full of flowers, which is a good opportunity for the metropolitan governor to collect talents, and please take a few more looks. Li Fu smiled, but his attitude was a little more humble.

What a smart man! Ning Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Li Fu acted modestly and modestly, and his speech was also very orderly, this Kangxi was not a fool, how could he rush such a talent to repair the river?

After thinking about it, Ning Yu didn't understand what was going on, and in the end he could only sigh secretly, thinking that after all, this court was in Zhengshuo, and there were too many talents under his command to count, and there were not so many pits to place, so naturally they would not be cherished one by one.

"Mr. is talented, he should have shown his ambitions in the temple, but now the times have changed, but he has wronged Mr. How about asking Mr. to stoop to the position of the governor of my capital and create a great cause together? ”

Ning Yu saluted again, and the expression on his face was also very sincere.

Li Fu smiled and said: "Yesterday's champion red tastes good, and I need to stay for this good wine." My lord, please bow down to me. As soon as the words fell, Li Fu bowed his hand and recognized the status of the monarch and minister.

This is a rather traditional courtesy, but it is very rare. After all, since the entry of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners regard the scholars as slaves, and beat and scold them at every turn, but they have not given the slightest heartfelt respect, even Fan Wencheng, who has contributed a lot to the entry of the Eight Banners, and his wife was robbed by Prince Yu Duoduo and occupied for three months.

It can be seen that the so-called righteousness of the monarch and the minister has long been gone, and the wanton humiliation of the subordinates by the Eight Banners of the Qing Court has never stopped, and most of the Hanchen are just enduring humiliation and humiliation. In this case, the kind of intercourse between kings and ministers has become a distant story.

After setting the status of the monarch and minister, Ning Yu naturally told Li Fu all his thoughts, it is not difficult to defeat Jiangxi, how to transform Jiangxi into the real help of the Han army, it is very difficult, and this step is not saved, if it is left alone, it will not be beneficial to the Han army, but it will also need a large army to be stationed and defended.

Li Fu shook his fan, nodded slightly, and said: "The lord has such an idea now, but it is extremely rare, my Fu Han army now holds the principles of heaven and the righteousness below, but it is easy to clean up people's hearts." ”

"In general, a total of eight words are needed, grace and power, and the source is clear."
