In the other direction of Nanchang City, there was also a large group of military horses. The banner is clear, the armor is shining. A few miles away from Nanchang, a horse galloped from the front, waving the flag in his hand, and the knight shouted: "Yu Qincha, the governor of Jiangxi led a group of officials and gentlemen, waiting for each other three miles ahead." ”

This is the capital of a thousand forbidden troops, escorting the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, Zhao Fengshan, the envoy of the Qincha, with the deputy envoy, Ma Tiancheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the deputy envoy, and the inner servant Li Jin. He went to Nanchang to inspect the victims, participated in the ceremony of the word collection, and visited the hearts and minds of the people of Nanchang.

Zhao Fengshan gave an order: "Rectify the army!" Swing to rely on! ”

As soon as Jiang Fang, the forbidden army in charge of the guard, raised his hand, the soldiers and horses of the brigade slowly stopped, and the sergeants sorted out the military appearance, took gongs and drums, erected flags, and played plaques.

Outside the city of Nanchang, Jiangxi Governor Shu Tingxuan led the political envoy Lu Xun, the criminal envoy Song Yi, and the envoy Tang Jiefei and other officials of Nanchang to wait on the roadside with retired officials and gentry.

Nanchang town guard eunuch Wang Gonggong, with the heads of various guilds in Nanchang, merchant representatives. Lu Ming, the head of Shilin Mountain, and other college chiefs and student representatives, waited on the other side of the road.

A horse galloped in front of the governor, and the knight turned over and dismounted, and saluted: "My lord, the Qin cha is already a mile away!" ”

As soon as Governor Shu raised his hand, the drummer, trumpeter, and standard-bearer in front of him hurriedly lined up and stood neatly. Sixteen cavalrymen of the Xiang Army turned over their horses, and each took out a trumpet flag in his hand.

After a while, a large group of people appeared in front of him, and Governor Shu shouted: "Let's go!" ”

Sixteen cavalrymen of the Xiang Army shouted, galloped forward, and sixteen flags fluttered in the wind, sweeping towards the Qincha team.

Jiang Fang, a thousand households of the forbidden army, saw sixteen colorful flags running ahead, and rode forward: "Inspect for the sky, and the Qin mission will arrive." Who's coming ahead! ”

The colored flag team slowed down, and the leader shouted: "Governor of Jiangxi, lead the officials and gentlemen to greet the Qincha!" ”

"Lead the way!"

The colored flags turned, sixteen colored flags opened the way, the forbidden army beat the gong and sounded the trumpet, raised the sign and erected the flag, and the brigade of people and horses came to the city gate.

Seeing the arrival of the Qincha team, those who greeted him here also blew trumpets and drums, and put out umbrellas and welcome flags on both sides of the road.

Governor Shu led several officials to march forward, and the three messengers also came out of the crowd, turned over and dismounted, and the two sides converged, with enthusiasm and warmth.

Governor Shu greeted the envoy, Zhao Fengshan, the left capital of Yushi, and the two of them talked happily.

Lu Xun, the political envoy, greeted Ma Tiancheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Hai, the eunuch who guarded the town, accompanied Li Jin, the inner attendant. Surrounded by the people around them, everyone went to Nanchang City and went away.

The so-called line is not a fixed place, but a temporary arrangement by local officials according to various factors such as the identity and relationship of the other party.

This time, the Qin Cha Xingyuan, the grade is relatively high, and he borrowed a rich mansion in Nanchang. Officials, especially high-ranking officials, most of them are from Jinshi, and according to folk sayings, they are all Wenqu stars who go down to earth and lend them houses to live in, which is a blessing that they have cultivated. Not only does he want to get a little aura, but his children will also have a character in the future. And to please the current magistrate, Qincha, why not?

There is also an advantage to borrowing a house, the next person, the small servant, everything is available. Sometimes, if the Qin cha needs it, even the maid and concubine room are offered with both hands, and it is still ready-made.

That night, the Nanchang government in Jiangxi Province held a grand reception banquet for the three Qincha, the Qincha Xingyuan, the lanterns are colorful, the fireworks are blooming, the wine and food are staggered, the sound of the glamour is beautiful, and the light song and dance are carried out.

The three Qincha, all full of spring breeze, proud, today's stars hold March! Life is like a struggle, just for a face, just for this moment.

Zhao Fengshan, the imperial history of the left capital, is the second grade in terms of grade and Governor Shu, but he is the first to sit as a messenger. On the right hand side of Governor Shu, the right hand of Governor Shu is Li Jin, the deputy envoy. To the right of Li Jin is Wang Hai. Qin Chazheng made Zhao Fengshan to be brought up by Li Ying and Li Gonggong, so since he started, there was the so-called eunuch party on the right hand.

The three Qincha, two of whom are from Gonggong Li's camp, can be seen that this inspection is to go through the motions and give credit to Nanchang.

On the left hand side of Zhao Fengshan, there is a deputy envoy, Ma Tiancheng, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, it is reasonable to arrange a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

Ma Tiancheng belongs to Feng Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and is also Feng Jing's right-hand man, and he prides himself on being a Qingliu faction. Ma Tiancheng is the third product, the next one on the left, and sits from the second rank to the political envoy Lu Xun. Lu Xun's grade was one level higher, and he respected him as a messenger, so he sat on the top.

Because Governor Shu had a bad relationship with Feng Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he didn't even care about Ma Tiancheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. But after all, it is a Qincha, and everyone is a scholar, so the only way to ask Lu Xun, the political envoy, to accompany Ma Tiancheng to speak.

Eunuchs, clear streams, such as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, since Governor Shu ignores Ma Tiancheng. Zhao Fengshan could only lean to the right as much as possible and talk with Governor Shu and the others with laughter.

It seems that a table of people is happy, but in fact, it is distinct. Heyuan Book Bar

After a few rounds of drinking, Zhao Fengshan turned his head sideways and whispered: "When will I go to visit the victims, does Master Shu have a plan?" ”

Governor Shu's face was pale, and he said to Nunu on that side: "According to him, the disaster victims' affairs are completely safe." ”

Qingliu asked Ma Tiancheng to come, in Governor Shu's opinion, he just wanted to find something wrong, at least to make the credit smaller. But the disaster relief is real, there is no half-truth, and Governor Shu has a high profile, which is not only a great light, but also a provocation.

Zhao Fengshan's eyes showed a different color: "It's really not bad?" ”

"Of course!" The two looked at each other, smiled and nodded, raised their glasses and touched them lightly, and each took a sip.

Zhao Fengshan said again: "What about the things that the militia caused, what about those books of the people?" ”

"Each letter has a detailed address and a person's name, and there is no half-falsehood!"

Zhao Fengshan frowned slightly: "How did this happen?" ”

Although the ruffians are violent, most people are extremely disgusted. But they also have family, friends, collaborators, Qin Hui and three friends. It is hard to guarantee that there are no people who sympathize with the splashes and are dissatisfied with the militia groups. There are pros and cons to everything, and there can't be only one voice. If there's really only one voice, it's not really a sound.

Governor Shu said in a low voice: "The general compilation of the dictionary this time is, the four major academies in Jiangnan, Nanchang Shilin Academy, Suzhou Luming Academy, Nanjing Yingtian Academy, and Hangzhou West Lake Academy. “

Zhao Fengshan was stunned: "What about Qin Feng?" ”

"Consultant, he didn't even want to hang the word consultant. But when the emperor was played, it was in his name, and the emperor's decree specified that he was responsible. So he became a consultant. Not only that, the dictionary is responsible for editing, including other academies in Jiangnan, Confucianism. In this way, who would dare to splash Qin Feng's stigma? ”

Zhao Fengshan suddenly chuckled: "I didn't expect that he was willing to give up the opportunity to leave a name for eternity!" What about the folk? ”

Because of this factor, those who want to study, those who are afraid of Shilin's pressure, and who feel that they can't afford to provoke scholars, will naturally not attack Qin Feng. But there are still many people who don't read and can only see the three points of land in front of them. So Zhao Fengshan asked.

Governor Shu nodded: "If you go to the streets of Nanchang tomorrow, you will know that the whole city is clean and refreshing, and you can hardly see garbage or smell peculiar smells." According to the people, the whole Dahua is the sweetest air in Nanchang! This is Qin Feng, in the name of donations, collected two silver taels from wealthy households in Nanchang, and then used the victims to form a scavenger team to clean Nanchang spotlessly, set up a garbage transfer station in a remote place, and will transfer and clean it every day! The people have benefited, if anyone really dares to speak ill of the militia and Qin Feng, the scavengers will set up the garbage transfer site at the door of someone's house, and it will only take three days to not ship it. Huh, you get it? This method cannot be solved by the Dahua Law. “

"In this way, I am relieved! Then throw the Book of All People to him and let him check it himself! Zhao Fengshan followed and said twice: "This Qin Feng is a talent!" ”

"He's just a showman, otherwise I'd like to give it a boost, but." Governor Shu hesitated and said, "He himself doesn't seem to like officialdom. I feel that he is dissatisfied with the status quo of the imperial court. ”

Zhao Fengshan shook his head and said, "The wind and rain are shaking!" He approached Governor Shu and said softly: "The emperor's body, day by day, Gonggong Li is anxious." ”

"Dahua and the emperor are all sick!" Governor Shu sighed. The emperor favored Gonggong Li, so he could take care of these people. Once......

Governor Shu said softly: "But in a few years, you and I should return to our hometowns and retire for the rest of our lives." The implication is also to comfort Zhao Fengshan, you and I are at this age, and it will be almost the same if you can mix with Gonggong Li and lose power.

Zhao Fengshan's face was straight: "Of course it's good to be able to live for a long time, but I'm afraid of ......" Governor Shu's face turned pale: "The current situation? ”

"The northwest is completely eroded, the government at all levels exists in name only, there are more than a dozen counties that lack chief officials, and they are bandits when they go out of the city. There could be chaos over there at any moment! The Mongols were secretly in league with the Tatars, and they were eyeing me. The border army was not paid, and the generals raised their own silver salaries, or robbed, or bought and sold with the Mongols and Tatar merchants, and supported the troops and respected themselves. The court has no salary to pay, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult to control in the future! On the southern coast, there was originally limited sea trade, but the local army was eroded, and the navy could not even see an empty shell. Coastal defense, naval army, all maritime forces. In some coastal cities, the government is not as good as the maritime business! Yungui Tusi, mountain people, frequent rebellion, the imperial court has been unable to suppress. It is like the autonomy of local officials, and there has been no tax or silver payment for two consecutive years! Looking at Dahua, there are thousands of holes, only you here, rich and peaceful! And only you are qualified to say that the tax will be increased. In the future, I would like to come to you. Zhao Fengshan's face darkened: "But, I'll just ask, if there is chaos in the northwest and the chaotic army goes south, can you resist here?" The northern army is in turmoil, the grassland is iron-hoofed, who doesn't want this Jiangnan flower world, you can stop it here? ”

"Raising troops for national defense, protecting the territory and the people, isn't this what the imperial court should do?" Governor Shu was a little indignant.

"Humph! Should the court do the disaster relief and give you the silver? Zhao Fengshan sighed: "I only hope that you and I will not worry about these things in our lifetime." ”

The news of the central officials is more comprehensive than that of the governor of one province.

Governor Shu sighed, silently picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all.

Zhao Fengshan said softly: "If there is excess tax silver, it's time to rectify the Xiang Army." When I left Beijing, the cabinet was formulating a strategy to encourage local governments to expand the formation of militia groups, which did not occupy the imperial court's funds, and the source of troops was better than that of the Xiang army. It is ready to deal with the civil unrest in the northwest. ”

Speaking of which, Zhao Fengshan and Shu Tingxuan are not very familiar, everyone can only be regarded as the same camp, Zhao Fengshan is actually pouring out his worries when he talks like this.

The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and people are overwhelmed by the cold in high places.
