Ning Xiu also has another concern, that is, the magistrate cannot bring his family members when he is appointed.

In this way, after he goes to Guangdong to take office, he will live separately from Ling'er, which is not a good thing.

Is there a workaround?

Ning Xiu immediately thought of Zhang Juzheng, if the first assistant of the cabinet said a word, he might be accommodating.

But he immediately dismissed that notion.

If Zhang Juzheng opened this mouth for him, it is estimated that he would become the target of public criticism and attract the impeachment of countless officials. In the Ming Dynasty, the spokesman was the most unprovoked existence.

Then we can only start from the system and see if there are any loopholes to be drilled.

Ke Ningxiu didn't know much about the Ming official system and regulations, and he still needed a helper to plan.

He immediately decided to go to Zhang Maoxiu, and naturally there was no need to bother the elder Ge to personally advise him on this kind of consulting matter.

Zhang Maoxiu is already a Hanlin writer at the moment and is working in the Hanlin Academy.

Ning Xiu first went to the Ministry of Officials to get the confession document, and then went to the Hanlin Academy to find Zhang Maoxiu.

The position of compiling is to compile history books and classics, and most of the time it is very leisurely.

Now Zhang Maoxiu is sitting in the government office, drinking tea leisurely.

"Lord Zhang, there is a Lord Ning outside the government office who wants to see you, look..."

A small official walked up to Zhang Maoxiu and said respectfully.

"Lord Ning?"

Zhang Maoxiu has just entered the officialdom, and he doesn't know many friends, and even fewer people surnamed Ning. After thinking about it, he felt that this person must be Ning Xiu, nodded lightly and said, "I know, let's go." ”

He put down the teacup, slowly got up and shook his robe, and Shi Shiran walked towards the outside of the official office.

As a Qingliu official in the Hanlin Academy, you will be more or less stained with a little fairy energy, and even the posture of walking is different from ordinary people.

"Ah, Brother Ning Xian is really you!"

As soon as he left the official office, he saw Ning Xiu pacing in the courtyard, and hurriedly greeted him warmly.

"Since you're here, why don't you come in?"

"After all, I'm not a Hanlin official, how embarrassing it would be if you didn't go in with me."

Ning Xiu smiled faintly.

"What's more, there are some words that are inconvenient to say in the official office."

Zhang Maoxiu nodded and exclaimed: "It's still Brother Ning Xian's thoughtfulness, so let's go to the back garden for a walk." ”

"Okay."

The two of them bypassed the government office one after the other, walked hundreds of steps along the bluestone path, and came to the back garden of the Hanlin Academy.

Although this garden is not very luxurious, it is extremely exquisitely arranged, not only with rockery pavilions, but also with a large area of artificial lake.

There is a small island of sand and soil in the middle of the lake, and there is a lake embankment along the island.

Zhang Maoxiu pointed in the direction of the island, and Ning Xiu immediately understood that he would walk with him.

The two came to the island through the embankment, found a pavilion and sat down on the stone bench, Zhang Maoxiu said: "Brother Ning Xian, few people come to this small island in the lake, what you want to say can be said now." ”

Ning Xiu's heart is really high, and his political literacy is really high, and he has won the true inheritance of his father.

He paused and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. The younger brother has just learned that he was awarded the order of Xiangshan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, by the imperial court, and I am afraid that he will take office soon. ”

"That's a good thing!"

Zhang Maoxiu was sincerely happy for Ning Xiu.

"But it's a bit far. Brother Ning Xian shouldn't be worried about this matter, right? ”

Ning Xiu said with a smile: "How come, Guangdong is also prosperous, and it may not be better than staying in Shenjing." It's just that I'm worried that I'll have to separate from Ling'er after I go to work. ”

"That's a problem."

Zhang Maoxiu couldn't help frowning.

"The younger brother is here to ask Brother Mao, is there a way to bring his family to the post?"

Zhang Maoxiu put his hands behind his back and paced up in the pavilion.

After a long time, he suddenly stopped, and his brows flashed with joy.

"There it is!"

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It stands to reason that officials can't bring their relatives when they go to work. But there are exceptions. Brother Ning Xian can let his younger siblings go to live in the neighboring political secretary, so that it is not a taboo. ”

Ning Xiu's heart is also a way.

As long as you don't bring your family members to office, it is not a violation. It's just that in this way, they have to buy another house for their families, and many officials are too lazy to toss, so they simply marry another concubine to warm the bed.

Ning Xiu naturally couldn't do this, if he really married a concubine behind Ling'er's back, once Ling'er knew about it, she would definitely come all the way to Guangdong to castrate Ning Xiu.

For the sake of the happiness of the lower body and the second half of his life, Ning Xiu would never take risks.

"But in what name?"

"You can do anything, do business, play."

Zhang Mao said: "At that time, you can see each other once a month if you want to, or once a month." Shenjing is thousands of miles away from Guangdong, and no one will know about it when you see it a few times. ”

Ning Xiu sighed in his heart, it seems that this is the best way he can think of.

Some of the systems of the Ming Dynasty have not yet been fully humanized.

"So, I'll do it."

"By the way, Brother Ning Xian, have you ever thought about rectifying maritime affairs when you go to Guangdong?"

Rectify the maritime affairs?

Ning Xiu was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"Guangdong is not as good as the mainland, and many states and counties are coastal. There are many pirates who are also businessmen and bandits, and if they are not governed, I am afraid that it will have an impact on Ning Xiandi's performance evaluation. ”

Ning Xiu was taken aback.

Pirate? Haven't the pirates been wiped out by their old Tarzan?

"There are still pirates in Guangdong? Didn't Qi Shaobao kill them all yet? ”

"Qi Shaobao killed the Japanese Kou."

Zhang Maoxiu explained: "Bandits are not the same as pirates. Most of the pirates, whether they were real or fake, were related to the Japanese state, and the general pirates were basically composed of locals and had nothing to do with the Japanese people. ”

Only then did Ning Xiu realize that although the Japanese pirates had almost been killed, there were many local pirates. These pirates are extremely familiar with the local terrain and will do everything to kill people and goods.

Of course, they also have an identity as maritime merchants, whether they go to Xiaoliuqiu or Nanyang to do business, they can make a lot of money on a trip.

"So what should I do?"

"This Brother Ning Xian should go and ask Qi Shaobao."

Zhang Maoxiu said with a smile: "Maybe Brother Ning Xian made the name of Qi Shaobao's fast son-in-law, and those pirates fell in the wind." ”

Ning Xiu glanced at him and said, "Surrender?" Impossible. Since Wang Zhi's death, it has been impossible for pirates to trust the imperial court. ”

"yes." Zhang Maoxiu shook his head: "Wang Zhi's matter is indeed not authentic, but there is no way to do it." ”

At that time, Hu Zongxian recruited Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi was also ready to accept Zhao'an to work for the imperial court. Who knew that Hu Zongxian was impeached by a group of garbage officials, and he was asked to execute Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese bandits.

Hu Zongxian finally couldn't resist the pressure, so he had to break his promise and execute Wang Zhi.

For a while, there was no one to suppress the southeast Japanese bandits, and they began to loot the coast more unscrupulously. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, the southeast would not necessarily be eroded.
