Chapter 563: Good Intentions
"Jingchuan Gong, the younger generation is ...... to call a cook"
"There's no need for that, is it?"
"Good good ......"
Facing Tang Shunzhi, who didn't say a word, Qian Yuan could only go to the small kitchen to light the fire in person, and muttered: "It's just the noodles left at noon, and the next bowl of light soup noodles is ready." ”
Tang Shunzhi sighed: "The old man is half a hundred this year, and he should have been living for a long time, but he was pulled out by your kid to work hard, but he could only drink all the noodle soup!" ”
Qian Yuan couldn't help but smile and said: "I didn't find out after hard work, but I think that Jingchuan Gong should be strong and strong, like an old tree with new branches......"
This is really true, although Tang Shunzhi has been busy in the past two months, his spirit has become better and better, and his energy is greater than that of Qian Yuan, a traverser, and he is busy all day long...... No, I haven't had dinner yet.
There was no way, Qian Yuan searched around in the small kitchen, found a piece of beef marinated yesterday, cut the beef with tendons into thin layers, and then took two small plates to decorate with chopped chili peppers and snow red, and this is all right.
The water in the pot was boiling, and before the noodles could be put into the pot, there was another rubbing rice outside, Sun Piyang looked hungry, and Qian Yuan could only order more noodles.
Take two large bowls, put in salt, soy sauce, throw some chopped green onions, and then put some "monosodium glutamate" made by the Qian family, dig a spoonful of lard with oil residue from the crockpot, pour hot boiling water, and then scoop up the noodles and put them down, more than a dozen slices of beef are spread on it, and the fragrance is around the nose.
"Why haven't you eaten yet?" Qian Yuan carried the plate to the side hall and placed two large bowls of noodles and two small plates on the table.
Although Tang Shunzhi is not old-fashioned, he is very gentlemanly, and he eats with courtesy, but he does not eat slowly, and he is obviously hungry.
Sun Piyang is a native of Shaanxi and is used to eating pasta, but there is little pasta in the southeast.
"There was an accident at the north city gate again, and the merchant said that he had encountered a wolf, but when he checked, a group of hooligans were just scoundrels, and they were all sent to the dock to work." Sun Piyang said while eating.
Qian Yuan smacked his lips, "It's better to be busy, it's better to be busy." ”
Sun Piyang glared at him hatefully, this guy threw things down, only occasionally checked and filled in the gaps, he and Tang Shunzhi were very busy, but he still had leisure and elegance for the Mid-Autumn Festival...... I haven't even bitten a bite of mooncakes this year.
"It's something like this almost every day these days." Sun Piyang slammed at Tang Shunzhi's Nunu mouth, "Jingchuan Gong is even busier, and he has to be busy until this time every day." ”
Qian Yuan moved a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "One is at the North City Gate, and the other is in the temporary mansion, so I was so busy that I didn't have dinner at this time, so I had to go to Qian Mou to have a meal...... It's not because Qian's cuisine is already well-known in Ningbo, right? ”
Tang Shunzhi was still picking up the noodles slowly, and sneered: "Tan Zili said that his nephew is more refined than a monkey with hair, how about it?" ”
Sun Piyang nodded again and again, "I have heard of the name for a long time in the capital, and when I go south, I can hear the cocoon, not to mention the rest, I know the autumn from a leaf, and I know the ability to see the subtleties......"
In fact, it is obvious that Tang Shunzhi is in good contact with Sun Piyang, and he came to Qian Mansion tonight to discuss with Qian Yuan in detail...... What is this to see a leaf and know autumn?
Qian Yuan secretly raised his vigilance, but he was afraid that it would be a night owl entering the house, which would be no good thing!
Sun Piyang is okay, after all, it is the same year, and he also knows his foundation in Beijing, and he has even been half subsumed under the Suiyuan Gate.
But Tang Shunzhi, a tough old man, doesn't care about this!
"Zhancai, that's right." Sun Piyang explained: "Originally, Sun was transferred from Shangyu Zhi County to Zhenhai Zhi County, one was to assist Jingchuan Gong, and the other was to rectify Zhenhai and Hou Taoshan Commercial Market. ”
"And the third." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "Shangyu is a great victory, Uncle Xiao's brother leads the troops with Wenchen, he is bold and decisive, he has a strategic mind, and he is selected to trade in Hou Taoshan, and he needs such a civil and military figure as Uncle Xiao's brother." ”
"Okay, Zhancai, don't put gold on Sun's face." Sun Piyang shook his head with a smile and continued: "But now, the southeast has chosen Zhenhai Hou Taoshan to trade and sell goods to the sea, and within two months, it has spread all over the world, and there are more and more merchants gathering in Zhenhai, rough statistics, the population in Zhenhai County is now twice as large as at the beginning of the year!" ”
"Wharves, commercial markets, shops in the city, there are more and more miscellaneous things, and there are even large households in the southeast who join forces to manipulate prices, and the chaos caused is not ordinary."
Sun Piyang said helplessly: "It's really understaffed...... Don't hide your talents, from morning to night today, this is the first time I have met with Jing Chuangong. ”
"Understaffed?" Qian Yuan touched the beard that had grown.
Tang Shunzhi, who ate noodles slowly but kept his mouth open, finally spoke, "You must be a civil official, with a strong temperament, a deep understanding of the law, and it is best to lead troops into battle, and kill and decide at critical moments." ”
Of course, it must be a civilian official, and military generals do not have this qualification.
Although Zhenhai County has unlimited potential, it has just been built, and it will encounter many twists and turns.
And it is also necessary to understand some laws, and even be able to formulate a Ming Dynasty version of the customs law according to the actual situation.
Of course, you must have experience in battle formations, after all, Zhenhai is located at the mouth of the sea, and a large number of goods are hoarded here, and there is no telling when there will be robbers and bandits...... Not to mention that Wang Zhi now has quite a lot of manpower in Jinji Mountain on the other side of the river.
Qian Yuan smiled and said: "Duke Jing Chuan, uncle and brother Xiao came here late at night, naturally they have already prepared, I don't know who got into the eyes of the law?" ”
Tang Shunzhi lowered his eyes slightly, and Sun Piyang smiled dryly: "Wu Chengqi, the current governor of Taizhou Mansion, can be transferred to the position of Ningbo Governor." ”
is indeed a good candidate, Qian Yuan nodded again and again, "Wu Ding'an is both civil and military, although he is not from the imperial examination, but he has successively served as the history of the Huijidian, the official of Taizhou, the military machine, the law, and the bravery......"
Speaking of this, Sun Piyang, who was well-fed, suddenly moved his throat, "Hiccup! ”
Tang Shunzhi looked over unhappily, Sun Piyang's face was full of apologies and grievances, and his mouth was again, "Hiccup!" ”
If it weren't for Tang Shunzhi's presence, Qian Yuan would have laughed wildly, today is really unusual, seeing three hiccups in one night.
"Hiccup...... Zhancai, this is also for your good...... Hiccup......"
"Yes, yes, for my good." Qian Yuan went to pour two cups of tea, and said with a smile: "Such a trivial matter has made Jingchuan Gong and Uncle Xiaobrother worried, thank you here." ”
Wu Chengqi and Qian Yuan have a lot of personal friends, last year Jiaxing Mansion two great victories, two flank attacks, Wu Chengqi took the lead, that is, he tended to rush straight to the Xu Haizhong army, the Japanese Kou cut into two sections, so as to achieve a great victory in Tongxiang.
At the beginning of this year, Qian Yuan specially negotiated with Hu Zongxian in the transaction, Wu Chengqi wanted to come to Taizhou, although he was called a pusher, but he was actually a leading general, first stationed in Sanmen Town under Lu Bin, and then followed Qi Jimei into Shaoxing Mansion, and had quite a lot of military achievements in the victory of Shangyu.
This could not be more suitable.
But Wu Chengqi is a native of Huizhou, a fellow villager of Hu Zongxian, and even once commanded the personal guard of the Governor's Palace, and is a descendant of Hu Zongxian's lineage.
Qian Yuan went to pour another cup of tea, listening to Sun Piyang covering his mouth and still couldn't help but burp, and sighed: "In the past two months, Hu Ruzhen first went north to Tongzhou and then south to Wenzhou, and he can be regarded as getting some leftovers......
"Okay, what do you say!" Tang Shunzhi said: "But according to the imperial history, let alone the governor, even the governor of Zhejiang is not in your eyes!" ”
Sun Piyang hiccuped while casting an admiring gaze.
Since the second day of Shangyu's victory, Qian Yuan and Hu Zongxian parted ways, the former resorted to various means to force the latter to decide to appease Wang Zhi and set up a city in Hou Taoshan for trade.
It's been three months, and the news of Qian Yuan and Hu Zongxian's disagreement has slowly spread.
Tang Shunzhi will not forget that at the beginning of the year in Linhai, Taizhou, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, had a secret conversation with Qian Yuan, the governor of Zhejiang, and the others were Tan Lun, the governor of Taizhou, and Zheng Ruozeng, a staff member of the Governor's Office, were also excluded.
On the fourteenth day of the first month, Hu Zongxian left Taizhou, and when he was leaving, he joked bitterly that he was sent to the door to be slaughtered.
Sun Piyang will not forget that Qi Jiguang defeated the main force of the Japanese outside Shangyu City, and the armies pursued northward, and heard that Liu Xian was broken by Xu Hai with one blow, and he jumped to his feet and scolded but was reprimanded by Hu Zongxian.
At that time, Qian Yuan stepped forward and made an unceremonious and scathing remark that made the dignified governor of Zhejiang unable to come to power.
Therefore, Tang Shunzhi and Sun Piyang are very sure that there must be a deep estrangement between Qian Yuan and Hu Zongxian.
This estrangement comes from Qian Yuan's sharp edge, from Qian Yuan's profound influence on the southeast war situation, and from Hu Zongxian's unwilling mentality.
The more radiant Qian Yuan is, the more dim Hu Zongxian can be facing.
Since more than two months ago, after holding a ceremony for Wang Zhi's troops to surrender, Hu Zongxian led the governor's palace straight back to Hangzhou, and then led his troops to attack several times, ignoring the trade of Zhenhai.
Tang Shunzhi and Sun Piyang are indeed good intentions, after all, Hu Zongxian is the governor of Zhejiang, and he holds great power, and they hope that through Wu Chengqi, the relationship between Qian Yuan and Hu Zongxian will be eased.
