Ten days later, Ning Xiu was ready to leave for Guangdong.

In later generations, it only took a blink of an eye to go from Shenjing to Lingnan, but it took more than a month to walk in Daming.

The cost of a long trip is really large, regardless of whether it is manpower or material resources.

Fortunately, Ning Xiu is not short of money now, and the specifications of travel are naturally guaranteed to be the highest.

Qi Ling'er was a little depressed. She originally thought that her husband would be awarded a Beijing official, and the family would live a good life together.

Who would have thought that the officials who couldn't open their eyes sent their husbands to Lingnan.

Although Liangguang is also a prosperous place now, it is too far away after all. What can't be seen or touched thousands of miles away is ultimately congested. Fortunately, Ning Xiu said to find a reason to take her to Fujian, which is adjacent to Guangdong. In this way, it is much more convenient for the two to meet and get together.

Qi Ling'er was worried about her husband's safety, so she specially selected more than a dozen shrewd and capable people from the veterans of the Qi family army to serve as her husband's guards to protect his safety along the way.

Ning Xiu naturally would not refuse this.

He didn't have much confidence in the security level of the Ming Dynasty, and if there were robbers along the way, there were few trustworthy guards who really didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Although Qi Ling'er was very reluctant to part with her husband, she also knew that the orders of the imperial court were unquestionable. Aren't fathers and mothers also getting together less and leaving more?

"Husband, when will you pick me up and go to Fujian."

Before leaving, Qi Ling'er looked at Ning Xiu with affection.

"Soon, after I settle down in Guangzhou, I will send someone to Fujian to investigate, and after I buy a house, I will go to Beijing to pick you up."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Qi Ling'er said softly, her voice full of affection.

......

......

"Master, I've already found out, this new county magistrate's surname is Ning Mingxiu, and he is a new science and technology scholar."

In the county ya, Xiangshan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province, a Shaoxing master in a green robe was respectfully reporting to his proprietor.

Xiangshan County Cheng Huang Yidao yawned, and two cold air erupted from his nostrils.

"How old is he?"

"I'm said to be seventeen years old."

"Ha, it turned out to be a yellow-mouthed child, so don't worry."

Huang Yidao was in a good mood for a while.

"At that time, the official will use some means, what is the master book, Cui Dianshi cooperates, what can he do?"

Speaking of this, Huang Rudao stroked his jaw whiskers, and he was in a very happy mood.

"Congratulations to the proprietor!"

This Shaoxing master's surname is Sun, his name is Huizu, he has been following Huang Yidao since three years ago, whether it is official or private affairs, Huang Yidao is relieved to hand over to Sun Huizu to do, and he is Huang Xiancheng's henchman.

What satisfies Huang Yidao the most is that Sun Huizu is very good at making money, and he is very safe and will not leave the slightest handle.

It's just that this time, after all, Xinzhi County has taken office, and the work on the surface still has to be done well, otherwise everyone will be in trouble if something goes wrong.

"Okay, you step down, the official wants to take a nap."

Huang Yidao waved his hand, and Sun Huizu retreated.

He estimated that Xinzhi County would not be able to take office in more than 20 days, and he had enough time to arrange before that.

He first went to the sixth study outside the county hall, and explained the instructions of the county lord to the book of the sixth room steward, telling them to be careful and not to say anything.

After that, he went to meet with He Zhushu and Cui Dianshi successively, and reached an agreement with them.

At this point, Sun Huizu was completely relieved.

Although the county order is the official who is the most important official in a county, if there is no assistance from the county officials, the canonical history, and the main book, it will not be able to do things well.

Not only did they not do things well, but they could not convey even the most basic decrees. Normally, if the county magistrate wants to make a difference, he has to compromise with these assistants, otherwise he will inevitably be hollowed out.

The meaning of Fang Cai Huang Yidao was to inform He Master in advance, Cui Dianshi, and told them to be prepared.

If this newly arrived county magistrate is interested, then it is easy to say that it is nothing more than an extra part.

If the new county order is not interesting, hehe, then they don't mind making some moves to make the new county order anxious.

The most important job of a county parent official is to collect taxes, if the spring grain and autumn taxes do not come up, according to Zhang Gelao's examination method, this guy will have to roll up and cover the eggs in less than a year.

Besides, those gentlemen in Xiangshan County will not sit idly by, if the new county order touches their interests, they will be the first to stand up and speak out.

The real rulers of Xiangshan County were never officials sent by the imperial court, but these native-born gentry landlords, if the county magistrate wanted to get a first-class performance appraisal and take a Wanmin umbrella when he left, then he must have a good relationship with the gentry and landlords.

However, Sun Huizu will not remind the new county to order this.

His owner is Huang Xiancheng, so naturally he will only do things for Huang Xiancheng. As for the county order, let's ask for more blessings.

After dealing with the things assigned by Huang Yidao, Sun Huizu left the county government and went to Wanfanglou in the city alone.

Wanfanglou is the largest green building in Xiangshan County, although the sister inside is not as good as the Peugeot of Fucheng, it is also very charming, tickling people's hearts.

Sun Huizu has a good friend named Yun Niang in Wanfang Building, and he always has to go every three or five days on weekdays.

These days are busy with official business, and he hasn't been there for almost ten days, and Sun Huizu has long said that he is hungry and thirsty, so he walked to Wanfang Tower.

......

......

The June heat in Lingnan is unbearable.

Ning Xiu could feel the scorching heat while sitting in the carriage.

He picked up a handkerchief, wiped the beads of sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, took another bottle of cold drink, and took a big sip before he regained some strength slightly.

He was a northerner in his previous life, and it was always difficult to adapt when he went to the south. Unexpectedly, after coming to the Ming Dynasty, he was sent to Guangzhou Mansion as an official outside the imperial court, which is really a trick.

"Qi Wen, we're almost there, right?"

Ning Xiu lifted the sedan curtain and asked Qi Wen, who was riding a horse on the side.

Qi Wen was one of Qi Jiguang's personal soldiers, and was sent by Qi Ling'er to be Ning Xiu's bodyguard, just like a dozen or so robes.

After getting along along this way, they are also familiar.

That Qi Wen grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand and said with a smile: "My lord, there are still five miles ahead of Xiangshan County, and I will definitely be able to enter the city before sunset today." ”

Ning Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

"When you enter the city, keep a low profile and don't disturb the people."

"Yes!"

Qi Wen responded with a fist.

"The proprietor, the proprietor, the county has arrived!"

Huang Yidao was taking a nap when he suddenly heard Sun Huizu's voice and woke up.

"What, what did you just say?"

Sun Huizu had no choice but to repeat Fang Cai's words again.

"You mean the new county order has arrived?"

"Yes, proprietor."

"Where?"

"It's already at the North City Gate."

"Okay, then I will ask Master He, Cui Dianshi and this official to welcome this county magistrate."

Huang Yidao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was smiling.

He waited for more than a month for this Ning County Order to come, but he didn't know if this Ning County Order was really as handsome as rumored?
