Because of the smooth sailing on the road, Sun Shaozong's official boat departed from the Datong Bridge Wharf in the morning, and arrived near the mouth of the Sancha River in Jinmen Prefecture shortly after noon.

Here I want to explain by the way, the word 'Tianjin' was given by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, which means 'the place where the Son of Heaven crossed Tianjin', to commemorate the old incident when he waved his army south from here to attack Cangzhou Mansion.

At present, since it is the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is naturally no opportunity for the Yongle Emperor to appear, let alone the 'Battle of Jingjing'.

Therefore, the word 'Tianjin' cannot be mentioned.

In fact, even the name of "Jinmen Mansion" was also after Emperor Guangde succeeded to the throne, seeing that it was becoming more and more prosperous due to the intersection of shipping and river transportation in the north and south, so this place was upgraded to a mansion in the second year of Guangde, and the name was given "Jinmen", which means the ferry and gateway to the capital.

As for the governor's yamen, it was not until the fifth year of Guangde that it was moved from Chengde Mansion.

As an emerging northern town, Jinmen Prefecture can be called vibrant, but correspondingly, the management is inevitably a little loose.

At least the degree of mess on the wharf at the mouth of the Sancha River is more than a step worse than that of the Datong Bridge, and it is even more difficult to compare with Yangzhou, Nanjing and other state capitals famous for water transportation.

By the way, the above comments were all made by Sun Shaozong after he stepped on duck feces on the dock.

The book is not too much to say.

However, he said that after the official ship docked, because Sun Shaozong did not know how to arrange the food and accommodation this time, he ordered the accompanying subordinates and entourage to wait on the ship, and went to the yamen of the governor's palace alone to hand over the sign.

However, it was not the officials of the Governor's Mansion who came out to greet him with the news, but Zhao Wutong, a fellow acquaintance of the Jinmen Mansion.

After chatting with Zhao Wutong, I learned that although the Governor's Mansion issued an official document and summoned officials from all over the country to come, the reception task was handed over to the Chengxuan Political Envoy Department, and the political envoy turned his face and assigned the task to the Jinmen Mansion.

"Alas~ Or do they all say that Sansheng does evil, and attaches Guo Provincial City."

Zhao Wutong spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "There are a lot of mothers-in-law and grandmothers, no matter which things are apportioned, our magistrates have to carry them." ”

In fact, this refers to the county order attached to Guo, but it is not impossible to use it in the prefect's yamen.

"Lord Zhao came to me to complain, but he found the wrong person."

Sun Shaozong laughed: "Don't forget that there is another sentence behind this: full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng - you are above the governor plus two divisions, our mother-in-law and grandmother at the head of Shuntian Mansion have more lice than beggars!" ”

While laughing, the two of them went out of the governor's palace again, and saw that two blue sedan chairs had already been prepared outside the gate.

Zhao Wutong gave way to the sedan chair in front of him and said, "Lord Sun, please, I have already chartered two inns nearby in advance, which are specially used to accommodate my colleagues." ”

Seeing that the sedan chair was not big, there were only two sedan chair drivers standing next to it.

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "Since it's not far away, how about Brother Zhao accompany me to walk a few steps?" It is really inconvenient to sit in a sedan chair at this size. ”

Zhao Wutong looked at Sun Shaozong's burly figure, and knew that what he said was true, so he had to walk side by side with him.

In this way, the reliance on sounding the gong to open the way was all exempted, but more than a dozen officials guarded before and after, which made it even more eye-catching, attracting the eyes of the people in the city, and there were pointing and talking about the good thing.

Seeing this, Zhao Wutong's behavior and speech were a little cramped, and he was obviously not used to being watched like this on the road.

Fortunately, the inn is not far from the Governor's Palace, and it is only about half an hour away, and when he crosses the threshold of the inn, Zhao Wutong seems to have unloaded the big stone in his heart, and he talks and laughs with Sun Shaozong again.

"Actually, if you really want to talk about it, our Jinmen Mansion is up to the prefect and down to the people of Limin, but we are all looking forward to the early listing of this Governor's Palace."

I thought that he said this because he wanted to pat the Governor's Palace, but looking at the emotional look on his face, it didn't seem like he was going against his will.

So Sun Shaozong was a little curious: "Why is this?" The above is the governor of Zhili and the governor of Hebei, for your Jinmen Mansion, there shouldn't be much difference, right? ”

"Master Sun doesn't know."

Although Zhao Wutong is the same as Sun Shaozong, he is an official rank of the fifth grade, and he is still an authentic second master in Jinmen Mansion, which is slightly better than Sun Shaozong, who is ranked third.

But after all, the Shuntian Mansion is half a Beijing official, and it is much more expensive than ordinary magistrates.

In addition, Sun Shaozong is so young, he knows at a glance that he must be a rooted person, so Zhao Wutong's words are always with a three-point sycophancy.

I listened to him explain with a smile: "From the beginning of the establishment of this dynasty, the four battalions of the capital often came to this vicinity to train soldiers and horses, and after the establishment of Jinmen Mansion in the second year of Guangde, this practice has not been suspended. ”

"Those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals don't dare to come nonsense at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but they are unscrupulous when they come to our Jinmen Mansion, and almost every month they have to make some trouble, and we Hebei and they are not subordinate to each other, which is really difficult to do."

"Now that Lord Zhou has been promoted to the governor of Zhili, and he has also taken the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, it will be much more justifiable to deal with it."

It turns out that this Jinmen Mansion is still the place where the four battalions of the capital train their troops, but I don't know if the cheap brother has ever come here to train the troops, if so, I am afraid that with his temperament, he will inevitably harass the place.

said that the two were talking here, and naturally someone called the store below and insisted that Sun Shaozong should move in.

After only half a ring, the shopkeeper stepped forward in cringe, and said with a bitter face: "Lord Zhao, the East Cross Courtyard was just occupied at noon, do you see if it is for this Lord to change the courtyard......

"Huh?!"

As soon as Zhao Wutong heard this, his face sank.

Although there is the Governor's Mansion and the Third Division's Yamen on it, he is also the second master of the Governor's Palace, and this time he is acting in the name of the Governor's Mansion, how could he have thought of chartering the inn and daring to sublet it to others without permission?

Especially in front of Sun Shaozong, isn't this tantamount to being embarrassed and thrown into the capital?!

Therefore, Zhao Wutong was annoyed, flicked his sleeves, and scolded: "Aren't you a dog eye shrugged by silver?!" The guest room booked by the official in advance dared to sublet it to others without permission! ”

As he spoke, he raised his voice again: "Come on, go and blast out those things that don't have long eyes for me!" ”

The innkeeper stomped his feet anxiously: "My lord, I can't do it, I can't do it......"

But where did the officials pay attention to him?

rolled up his arms and sleeves, and went to the backyard to pick up people with an iron ruler and a street whip.

"What a big breath!"

At this moment, several majestic men broke out of the backyard, and the first one squinted and sneered: "Our master is just in the governor's mansion, all of them are delicious, drunk and entertained. ”

As he spoke, he aimed his nostrils at Zhao Wutong, sneered, and said, "This lord is so official, dare to ask Mo is not in front of Dusi, Zhentai, and Fantai?" But when I look at the color of the official uniform, why is something wrong? ”

Before the words fell, several biao men around him burst out laughing.
