After dawn, Liu Haifeng went back to rest for a while, Shi Qi had breakfast, listened to some affairs about coastal defense, and basically had nothing to do in government affairs. He and Wang Chun went to the beach, facing the empty sea, Shi Qi took out his jade flute from his waist seal, and it didn't just sound. He broke away from his entourage, looked for a reef, listened to the waves lapping, blew his flute, and with the sound of the water, it could really be integrated, and a few people who came with him didn't find it.

He practiced the mental method that he learned in the morning for a while, and compared the difference between meditation and his previous learning, Liu Haifeng told him that he must understand, one of the major characteristics of the closed thunder door is that the master is not necessarily stronger than the apprentice, the mental method is the same, it depends on whose understanding is high, Liu Haifeng is much more successful than Jiang Yisu, of course, most of the credit is returned to the saint cini, he hopes that Shi Qi can be higher than him at a higher level, because he has the Taoist miscellaneous studies as the foundation.

Qin Governor's ability to do things was very strong when he heard Wang Chunshiqi, there were not many residents in the East China Sea, and he had no experience in the affairs of sea defense, so he took the initiative to come over again to have a look. The Qin prefect did not notify Shi Qi in advance, he went directly to a salt field, and found that there was a large area of sunshine, although there were also reports from the outside, but he did not dare to contradict the official's house, the salt merchant Xu Shoucheng heard that an official was coming, and immediately greeted him, and found that it was the Qin prefect, he did not greet him warmly, and the Qin prefect also pretended not to know.

Governor Qin asked, "This salt is yours?" Don't you know it's illegal to dry salt without permission? Xu Shoucheng: "I didn't expose it privately, but also for your official family, the lord is an official and upright, who dares to blatantly expose private salt under you." The two men seemed to have no intention of saying this, and each of them sent his own people away from the scene. Governor Qin asked, "Didn't the county magistrate come here?" He just asked you about it? Xu Shoucheng: "The new master has not come, but the Wang Chun under his command has come, and he took five thousand taels of silver from me, which is used by the new master to visit you, you see, I have to hurry up now, and five thousand taels will be dried for a while?" Bian put the two gold bricks in the hand of the Qin prefect

Governor Qin pondered the gold brick in his hand, put it in his bag and asked, "What?" Five thousand taels? For me? Xu Shoucheng took a while, and the Qin prefect understood, he could ask for it in his name, but he couldn't let him take his head, Shi Qi was too dark, and he knew that the last time it was sent to his mansion, it was only two thousand taels. According to the regulations, it should be Lord Qin who takes four thousand taels, and Shi Qi leaves one thousand taels, but now it's the other way around, Lord Qin was angry, and he quietly pinched the gold bricks in his hand a few times: "I haven't received your silver, you can be more careful about this master in the future, send someone to me directly if you have something, don't listen to his chaos." After taking the subordinates, he got on the sedan chair and went straight to Shiqi's yamen.

Shi Qizheng wanted to make some innovations in coastal defense affairs, and he planned to assign some tasks to fishermen, reward those who found that there were foreign invasions in a timely manner, and build coastal defense facilities in places where there were many waves intruding, so that the public salt drying behavior would be convenient for centralized management, and there would also be a reasonable constraint on illegal salt dealers. Lord Qin entered the lobby while letting people report, Shi Qi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Lord Qin has worked hard, what kind of sea breeze is blowing for you again?" ”

Governor Qin: "I received a notice from the Yantian envoy, I came down to check the situation of the Yantian, which one of you agreed to build the Yantian privately?" Your duty is coastal defense, and the salt fields are a state-exclusive business, and you have overstepped your authority without authorization, but you have caused me a mess. Shi Qi: "I know that the salt fields are not under my control, but I can't watch the people in my jurisdiction being invaded by the sea, and I also ask them to dry the salt, and all salt-related affairs belong to the Yantian envoy yamen, which has neither interfered nor profited." Lord Qin wanted to mention the five thousand taels of silver, but after all, he took two thousand taels, and it was Wang Chun who handled it, and he said angrily: "I can't do what you do, wait for the top to deal with it, if you don't get it, I will be implicated." ”

Shi Qi didn't understand Qin Darao's heart, he didn't know that he was because of the last money. The imperial court did have a special agency for the management of the salt pans, but it generally also took into account the enthusiasm of the local government, and the salt sellers would take the initiative to pay tribute to the local officials. Because although they do not directly manage the salt pans, if they are not well served, these salt pan operators will not be able to get out of the salt pans even if they have one or two private salts, and they will not be able to make a fortune themselves. Lord Qin thought that Shi Qicai was too dark to take office, which would pose a threat to his future income, and now that he had mastered that Shi Qi had no backstage, he decided to join him.

As usual, the song first came to the hands of Yang Su, an official of the ministry, and he was surprised when he saw that Shi Qi not only arbitrarily judged the case, but also involved the affairs of Yantian. He thought of the last time Shi Qi helped him deal with official business for the Jiang family's affairs, and knew that although he had a method, he might have something unusual in his means and was not in line with the official group. Yang Su has never figured out how Shi Qi asked Steward Li of Lu Yuanwai's family to speak when he took Shi Qi to meet Jiang Wenzhi. Now, he has only been in office for a short time, and his immediate boss participates in his performance, and he has agreed with Shi Qi to talk, and he can't come forward. Yang Su decided to see Shi Qi's coping method, the young man was ambitious, and there was no harm in hitting the wall, Yang Su put up a pen and asked for a strict investigation.

After receiving the instructions, Lord Qin contacted the Yantian envoy, went to the scene and gathered evidence and witnesses, and jointly recommended that Shi Qi be removed from his post in coastal defense. In this way, Lord Qin has direct coastal defense power in his hands, and the salt dealers will be more obedient to him, because there are soldiers in coastal defense, so it is more secure to sell smuggled salt. Lord Qin took the opportunity to arrange for Wang Chun to assist in the management of coastal defense, without the responsibility of coastal defense, Shi Qi was just a seven-grade official, he was idle, and he just had time to learn from Liu Haifeng the kung fu of closing the thunder gate.

After listening to the talents, the boss was a little sad, and after dinner, she said: "I expected you to be able to glorify the sect, but you have a few talents, officialdom is not farming, not only to work hard, but also to think about the mind, think about the thoughts of the superiors, you can't just think about the right, think about the things that the boss thinks are right." Shi Qi looked at his mother, he didn't expect a woman to have such an understanding, he nodded: "I still don't understand, the Qin prefect's gift has also been delivered, and he has also visited the door, why can't he get along with me?" I really want to go to my teacher, I don't believe in the unreasonable. ”

Fourth lady: "You live by yourself, you have to rely on your own ability to do things, and when you encounter difficulties, you go to find someone, when will you grow up?" Don't be afraid of being wronged, I'm afraid that I don't know what the reason is, first calm for a while, Yantian and defense are not easy things to do, and there is danger in favorable places, and you will have opportunities in the future. By the way, I talked to that Wei Yun, the local customs are different from ours before, and you also know some people's feelings, she is now your teacher, and you have time to ask her about the fishermen's thoughts and habits, so that you can be close to the public opinion when you judge the case in the future. ”

That night, Liu Haifeng: "Shi Qi, what I taught you is enough for you to practice for a while, I will go to Lin Qian Temple to see my brother, the affairs of the family can not be delayed any longer, that Ouyang Ximu is also old, where do we want to take revenge, he is gone, how painful." Shi Qizhen wanted to accompany him, but his current situation, especially the relationship with the Qin Governor's Mansion, did not dare to run around. Shi Qi promised Liu Haifeng that he would take care of Wei Yun, the senior lady, let him go out with confidence, and if possible, invite Dao Zhen to him, and he could discuss it with them.

Liu Haifeng: "You are in the officialdom, he is the prime minister, our business has nothing to do with you, you can't help him avenge because Liu Quanchao taught you, this is our family matter, you do your own business, don't get involved." Then, looking at the night of the deep cave, he told Shi Qi leisurely: "Keep taking revenge, the Ouyang family also has a son, if we succeed, will people think that they will also look for us?" Therefore, you can't get involved in this matter, in case I make a mistake, please take care of Wei Yun, and I don't care about anything else. ”

Early in the morning, Liu Haifeng practiced with Shi Qi for a while, Shi Qi gave Liu Haifeng a little entanglement, and Liu Haifeng went to the direction of Lin Qian Temple. After breakfast, Shi Qishengtang was fine, he came to the backyard, the fourth lady and Caishuang were fiddling in the vegetable garden, Wei Yun didn't know how to farm, plus he was missing a hand, so he was bored and sat in the house. Shi Qi was inconvenient to go directly to her room, and after thinking about it for a while, he took off his official uniform and went to the vegetable garden to help the fourth lady clean up the garden.

The entire county government looked very deserted, Shi Qi thought that the magistrate was too busy, but he couldn't stand such days, he missed his tavern, and even more missed Jiang Qingyan and his son. That night, the fourth lady, Caishuang and Wei Yun made a few more dishes for Shi Qi, let him drink some wine, and the peach was not around, so the fourth lady deliberately asked Caishuang to accompany Shi Qi.

In the evening, Caishuang knew that the fourth husband was sparing, she was a little embarrassed, after all, she was her junior, and now after the fourth lady found out, she became conscious. Peaches came over to wait for a while, but Shi Qi was not in the mood, so he asked her to go back and sleep alone. In the second half of the night, he woke up, he was really fine, and he practiced his fists and kicks in the courtyard for a while, not wanting to have one more person on the side, he saw that it was Wei Yun. Wei Yun: "Listening to the sea breeze, you can also do martial arts, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect a county master, a new Jinshi, and martial arts in the rivers and lakes, it's really not simple." ”

Shi Qi looked at her thin clothes: "It's cold outside, hurry back, don't catch a cold." Wei Yun couldn't sleep and didn't want to go in, after Shi Qi was tired, he went back to the house to rest, Wei Yunzhong came in, Shi Qi asked, "You guys don't pay attention here?" A woman in a man's room at this time? Wei Yun: "Liu Haifeng is your master, I am your master, what else can I be afraid of you?" Besides, we are fishermen, not as good as you, and the people on the boat don't pay attention to these things, and we don't want anything else at sea except the sea, and we don't want to do anything else, let alone taboo your men and women to spare things. ”

Shi Qi: "After you go to sea, the ships are not close together, they are far away, it is not us on land, if you don't pay attention to it, there will be chaos." Wei Yun smiled and poured him a glass of water: "Sometimes when we are windy and waves, we will also find some harbors, and many boats come together, at this time, the men play money, the women cook, and some men who don't play money take the opportunity to run around, the sea is windy and the waves are strong, the boat is shaking, and nothing can be heard." ”

Shi Qi suddenly understood, and asked, "What can happen, I can't sleep, can't you tell me about it?" Wei Yunxiang looked at it, and then sucked his hand to look at himself: "The boat people are very simple, sometimes the wind and waves are several, it is inevitable to be bored in a boat, and besides, everyone is also mutual, some men and women will have a good impression, in short, in order to pass the time, after a long time, everyone will acquiesce to this way of life, but after arriving at the shore, everyone is not, and everyone is doing it after going to sea." ”

Shi Qi moved closer, looked outside, and asked, "You used to be a girl, and you have seen these things?" Wei Yun: "Of course I saw it, I didn't understand it at the time, but then I understood, sometimes I didn't want to get on the boat, you see that people on the shore generally don't marry us, everyone knows it in their hearts, but life is forced to do it, there is no way." After Shi Qi heard this, he looked at her hand again, and at this time, her head was lowered, that kind of coquettish was the first time Shi Qi saw it and was impulsive, he actually blew out the candle and pulled Wei Yun's good hand over.

Wei Yun: "Haifeng only left in the morning and asked you to take care of me, is that what you mean?" Shi Qi wanted to laugh, but he didn't, he didn't know how to answer, so he hugged her not too hot body at once, while "Maybe." Facing Wei Yun, who was as simple as a blank piece of paper and as full of romance as a one-handed Wei Yun, Shi Qi quickly made her understand that without the flooding of the sea, she could feel the swaying of the ground.

Shi Qi asked, "How do you judge that there is a strong wind?" Wei Yun's hand wrapped around him: "Being an official is really powerful, just went down to Xiangshan, and actually ran a business, experienced fishermen can predict the degree of humidity, but they can generally judge by the hyacinths on the distant island, if only they could set up a few more high-reform hyacinths." After hearing this, Shi Qi secretly prepared to do some good things about this kind of prediction for the local fishermen, he waited for Wei Yun for a while, and asked, "You saw me outside, do you want to go out to watch like this?" ”

Wei Yun: "You are the county master, I wouldn't have thought that you would be like this, when I was given that sentence, I still felt ridiculous when I went back, I wanted to look up at the time, but I didn't dare, I didn't expect that there was a job that could see your whole picture." He enjoyed Shi Qi very much to complete the blink that Liu Haifeng had not taught him

After Shi Qi went up to the church in the morning, he arranged for someone to find some old fishermen and inquire about how to set up a storm warning facility. According to everyone's opinions, Shi Qi personally went to several islands not far from the shore, combined with everyone's ideas, made a few hyacinths that can see the wind in advance, and added some mooring facilities, so that the real wind and waves are coming, and the fishing boats have a safe place to dock. He didn't expect that these things he did for the fishermen would offend Lord Qin.
