Chapter 825: Parting Ways (Part 1)
Shen Xi left it alone after dealing with the affairs of Fuzhou, and the follow-up matters would be reported to the imperial court by the local three divisions and yamen, so that the imperial court could reappoint new political envoys from the left and right to Fujian to take up their posts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Even if there are two less political envoys, there are still officials at all levels such as provinces, prefectures, prefectures and counties to govern the localities, and Fujian will not fall into chaos.
On the contrary, because of the collapse of Shang Yingkui and Zi Qian's forces, there were fewer merchants in Fuzhou, fewer peddlers and pawns, and fewer evil forces to suppress them, and the people gradually resumed living and working in peace and contentment.
Shen Xi was very low-key when he entered the city, and when he went out of the city, thousands of people were in the middle of the road to see him off, and even grateful people insisted on sending Shen Xi boiled eggs, rice balls and other condolences, which is enough to witness how much impact Shang Yingkui and Zi Qian's forces had on the daily life of the people in the city.
When Shen Xi entered the city, he rode in a carriage, but when he left the city, he rode on a tall horse.
After this practice, Shen Xi is now quite proficient in horseback riding skills, and he can control it even if the horse is trotting. Shen Xi faced the cheers of the people on horseback, waved his hand to greet the people on both sides of the street, and always had a friendly smile on his face, and accepted the people's support for him with peace of mind.
In Jiang Liwei's view, Shen Xi's move is a stinky show.
"After being a governor for a few days, making such a big disturbance in the local area and causing great trouble to the imperial court, not only will the higher authorities be investigated, but they may be subjected to such crazy revenge by those nobles and court officials...... Even if those people can't help you, your life on the southeast ground won't be easy. The grasshoppers after autumn can't jump for a few days! ”
Even Yu Niang felt that Shen Xi was a little too high-profile, in her opinion, Shen Xi was young, but he knew how to forbear, and in order to eradicate the forces of Shang Yingkui and Zi Qian, he secretly planned for two or three years. Now Shen Xi's actions have suddenly become so high-profile, which seems very abnormal.
"Lord Shen, you are so flamboyant, you are not afraid of the revenge of the remnants of Shang Fantai?" After leaving the city, Yu Niang asked Shen Xi the questions in her heart.
At this time, Shen Xi had already jumped off the horse's back, ready to get back into the carriage, take the car to the south of the Thornton Harbor, and take a ferry across the Min River. Hearing Yu Niang's question, he glanced back and said, "If the official is not publicized and leaves Fuzhou City, who will remember that the official has been here?" ”
Yu Niang almost blurted out, you are an official just to let others remember?
But after thinking about it a little, Yu Niang suddenly understood Shen Xi's intentions.
Shen Xi was not for the limelight, but for the sake of quelling the local bandits and robbers in the future.
Prior to this, the three divisions and yamen of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guizhou provinces estimated that they all looked down on Shen Xi, who was born in Hanlin and had no practical experience, and it was inevitable that they would cause trouble for Shen Xi to coordinate the military and political affairs of the three provinces in the future and sweep away the bandits.
Shen Xi's move was entirely for Liwei.
Shen Xi's move is to announce to the magistrates of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi provinces, I, Shen Xi, are here, even Shang Yingkui and Zi Qian, who cover the sky with one hand in Fuzhou, are not my opponents, you either honestly hold your tail between your legs and cooperate with me well, or you are waiting to be eradicated by me!
The new official took office with three fires, and Shen Xi was understandable for doing this, but in Yu Niang's opinion, it was still too risky, aren't you afraid that the magistrate's dog will jump off the wall in a hurry?
Shen Xi has a very thorough grasp of the psychology of Ming officials, as an official in the Ming Dynasty, the first principle is moderation, make a fortune in a muffled voice, even if you are arrogant and domineering in the local area, you can't go against the boss, in the past, the three provinces and three divisions of the yamen were directly responsible to the two capitals and six departments, and now that Shen Xi is here, they have to become responsible for Shen Xi.
Now that Shen Xi has become the top boss, as long as they are safe with each other, the magistrate can continue to make a fortune in silence, and you are full of food and support to work against me, the governor?
Sure enough, after Shen Xi set off from Fuzhou City, on the way south, the local reception specifications immediately increased by more than one grade.
Every time Shen Xi arrives, there will be people sent by the local government and county government to respond, and there are special people to check in advance before arriving at the post station, and the food and drink are completely in accordance with the first-class Qin Poor standard, in Lingnan, a place far away from the Central Plains, Shen Xi has been treated with a super high standard.
"Didn't Yu Niang say that it was not easy to publicize? It seems to the official...... It's not bad to show off once in a while, at least it's not as hard as it was before......"
Starting from Fuzhou City, Shen Xi's face was relaxed, which was completely different from the previous time when he rushed to Fuzhou.
Yu Niang guessed that this was because Shen Xi relaxed after he shocked the Fujian officialdom to eliminate the enemy.
Punish the political envoy of Fujian, and the political envoy Shang Yingkui, Shen Xi mixed with personal grievances. To do things, you just need to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, Shen Xi will not be full to support the cleaning up of officials at all levels in the three provinces from top to bottom, if Shen Xi really does that, without the local officials of the three provinces, the imperial court will also remove him.
The imperial court sent you to the local area to quell the bandits and robbers, and to supervise the local area, not to let you do anything wrong!
……
……
He left Fujian from the territory of Pinghe County and entered the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Political Envoy.
The first stop is Teochew Mansion.
Shen Xi is going to Wuzhou instead of Guangzhou, where the political envoy of Guangdong is stationed, so he starts from Chaozhou Mansion, follows the official road, passes through Huizhou Mansion and Shaozhou Mansion, and crosses the northern part of Nanhai County, one of the two counties of Guangzhou Prefecture, all the way to the west, enters Zhaoqing Mansion from Sishui, and then goes out of Fengchuan, and arrives at Cangwu County, the county seat of Wuzhou Prefecture, which is where the governor of Liangguang is located.
Shenxi's journey from Jingshi to Lingnan was finally completed, and it took two and a half months before and after, and it was late June when he arrived.
Shen Xi's side is not fast, but it is much faster than Zhou's and Xie Yun'er's way, after all, it detours to Jiangxi, and there are mostly waterways along the way, and the cars, horses, boats and boats often have to be changed along the way.
After arriving at Wuzhou Mansion, Shen Xi first went to his office. The yamen of the governor of Liangguang has been uninhabited for many years, and it has fallen into disrepair, and the official office that occupies a large area looks dilapidated.
Although there are yamen and public courts, the supervision and administration office never opens a court to try cases, so most departments are actually decorations.
Because the Ming Dynasty governor is not permanent, there is no direct official under the governor yamen, Shenxi, the coastal governor of the three southeastern provinces, strictly speaking, only twenty scribes are dispatched by him, his previous term was Deng Tingzan, who took office in the eighth year of Hongzhi, at that time it was because of the Yao people in Guangxi who were in rebellion, but after Deng Tingzan completed the errand, he stepped down in the tenth year of Hongzhi, that is to say, in the five years from the tenth year of Hongzhi to the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, there were no officials living in the yasu.
The huge house has been vacant.
Cangwu County is just a remote town, and if Shen Xi wants to repair it, he has to do what he can, and the matter can only be put on hold for the time being.
After stationing in the official office, Shen Xi successively met with the prefect of Wuzhou, the commander of Cangwu County, and others, and the political envoys of Guangxi and Guangdong also sent people to express their condolences.
According to Shen Xi's plan, although the governor's yamen was located in Wuzhou, after settling down, he would go to Guangzhou, the seat of the Guangdong political envoy.
Guangzhou is one of the three open harbor cities of the Ming Dynasty, and it is inevitably threatened by pirates and pirates...... To quell the bandits, it is natural to start with the Guangzhou Mansion.
As for the Guangxi Political Envoy Division, he has no intention of going, unless it involves the dispatch of money and grain, otherwise it makes little sense to go to Guilin Mansion in all the hardships.
Shenxi was responsible for the military affairs of the coastal areas of Liangguang and Fujian, and the official office was the Wuzhou Prefecture, the seat of the governor of Liangguang, but it was only the coastal military affairs of Guangdong and Fujian provinces that really controlled it. The errand is complicated, to put it bluntly, he is holding the official title of governor, and he went to the coast to quell the bandits and robbers.
When Shen Xi arrived at his destination, he realized that his authority might not be as big as that of the Wuzhou prefect.
At least there are subordinate officials such as Tongzhi and Tongju under the prefect's yamen, as well as officials who are waiting to be sent, but even if Shen Xi has a quota of twenty scribes, he must be recruited. These scribes have no official and no quality, and when they are brought back as staff, the imperial court will subsidize a certain amount of money and grain as a salary, but the money must be withdrawn from Guiping Wuyu Road, which is equivalent to saying that the expenses of a governor and yamen must be controlled by the local province and government.
On the third day of Cangwu County, Shen Xi had prickly heat on his body, the weather was hot and stuffy, he was very unaccustomed to it, the Wuzhou capital was surrounded by mountains and forests, snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere, Shen Xi was very worried that he would lose his life when he went to Wuzhou.
At this time, Jiang Liwei and Yu Niang came to ask Shen Xi for instructions, preparing to go home.
“…… Lord Shen, the slave family left Yunliu and Xi'er behind, if the adult has anything to send, just command. The slave family turned north, and there may be a goodbye period. ”
said that there was a goodbye period, which means that Yu Niang will not return to the capital for the time being. Shen Xi thought to himself, you really got some errand to come over, don't secretly supervise me.
As for Jiang Liwei's side, it is much more direct, Jiang Liwei's errand is mainly to escort Shen Xi and send Shen Xi to the place, and he is about to return to the Jinyi Guard, but Shen Xi guesses that even if Jiang Liwei wants to return to Beijing, he will also have some tasks, such as arresting someone along the way.
Jinyiwei will not go out of Beijing for no reason, if it is simply to escort a governor to the local office, only one or two teams of officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion need to be dispatched, why should Jinyiwei be alarmed?
Most of the time, there were some unlucky local officials who offended the royal family or the powerful people in the court, and the court secretly sent people to arrest them.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty, and Jinyiwei can even be directly ordered to raid the official's mansion without interrogation, and even kill people.
Shen Xiyu still remembers that when she was in Tingzhou Mansion, the official lady who went south to the Tingjiang River to find her father, her father was guilty of offending the Zhang brothers.
It's a pity that time has passed, and Shen Xi has no news of the woman, and he doesn't know what the final outcome of the matter will be.
The factory guard does not need to explain to the people of the world, many things will not be recorded, even if he is powerful, there is no way to investigate how many things the factory guard has done secretly.
Shen Xi sent off with a smile: "Yu Niang has worked hard all the way, and she arrived safely in Xia, and she doesn't need anyone to take care of her, but Yu Niang, you are in the dust, how can you do it if you don't have someone around you?" I think it's better to bring all the entourage with you, and you can take care of them along the way. This official has lived in Fujian and Guangdong for a long time when he was young, and there is not much difference between this and Tingzhou Mansion, I believe that he will be able to adapt soon, but Yu Niang, you should pay attention to take care of your body. ”
At parting, Shen Xi finally resumed his original name for Yu Niang.
Yu Niang understood that Shen Xi was showing her attitude and refused to leave Yunliu and Xi'er, but she was not reluctant, and took people on the road on June 26, and Yunliu and Xi'er followed her.
Yu Niang and Jiang Liwei are not on the same path.
On June 27, the day after Yu Niang left, Jiang Liwei also took people away.
Shen Xi suddenly found that he had become a loner, and now in addition to a few entourages around him, only Tang Bohu was left to help, and he didn't even have a cook to cook at night, and he had to eat in the wine shop in the county, which made him miss the life of his wife and children in the capital.
