Chapter 196: Preparing to leave Beijing
When Lord Gao walked away, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and let out a cheerful shout in the courtyard, startling Gu Qingchen, who was tidying up the room.
After running around for almost a year, the Huiyi fleet is finally going to sea, and his official can also be changed from nine products to nine products, how can he not be happy!
When he returned to the room, he immediately began to grind and write a letter, to tell Tang Xun the good news, so that he could prepare early, and by the way, he also told the details of loading the materials on the ship, so as not to add trouble after going to sea.
"Senior brother, is there anything good?" Gu Qingchen pushed the door in.
Yang Cong Yiyun kept writing and replied: "The return to the easy travel period has been determined, and we will go to sea at the end of the month or the middle of next month, and the senior brother will be promoted before the fleet leaves the port. When you come back from the sea, it is very possible to rise to the eighth grade. ”
Gu Qingchen said: "It's indeed a good thing, and it should be celebrated." ”
Yang Congyi finished writing the letter with a stroke of his pen, and said while encapsulating: "Qingchen, maybe I will go to Quanzhou in a few days, and I will go to sea soon." There is a risk at sea, and it is very inconvenient for a girl to go to sea with her, so you can stay in Lin'an and wait for me to come back. ”
Gu Qingchen's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Senior brother, I want to go to sea with you, I don't dare to be alone in Lin'an." ”
Yang Congyi said: "Seven or eight thousand people went to sea this time, all of them were men, and I really don't feel at ease if you follow a girl to the sea." In the next two days, I will find you a good place to live and live in peace. I'll leave you a sum of money to live on for these two years. If you don't want to stay in Lin'an, you can go anywhere, in short, don't go to sea with me. ”
Seeing that Senior Brother's tone was firm and could not be changed, Gu Qingchen stopped arguing, turned around and walked out of the room.
Looking at the back of leaving, Yang Congyi was also very helpless, going to sea is indeed risky, it is difficult for a girl to stay in a man's pile for two years to ensure that nothing will happen, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time, so let her stay in Lin'an.
Then he went out and asked someone to send the letter to Quanzhou back to Yi Dou Zao.
Master Gao had just left not long ago, so he shouldn't have come back so soon, so he went to the martial arts in the north of the city by the way.
It's been almost a year since I left martial arts, and then I went back to martial arts, and I didn't find much change at the beginning, but after going around in martial arts, I didn't see any students in martial arts, and the martial arts hall was empty, and there were no students and no professors, so I guess I came to the wrong place.
Yang Congyi turned around and left, went to the Guozijian in the back street, and directly found Zhao Min, the supervisor of the Guozijian.
Although he is now an official, Yang Congyi still respectfully called "sir" when he saw the supervisor Zhao Min. Martial arts also returned to the supervision of Guozi, and less than two years after its establishment, some students were successfully awarded officials, and Zhao Min naturally praised Yang Congyi.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Yang Congyi made his intentions clear and asked him if he still had procedures to go through.
Naturally, he had to go through the formalities, Zhao Min told him that after the beginning of the year, Yang Congyi would not be seen in the martial arts, just like the news, and it took several months to learn that he had been awarded an official, but no formalities had been handled, and the student status was still there. Theoretically speaking, Yang Congyi is actually still a martial arts student, and as long as he is willing, he can still return to martial arts to continue his studies.
Martial arts is the same as Taixue, it is generally a five-year period, that is to say, under normal circumstances, it takes five years, Yang Congyi and Tang Xun belong to special circumstances, and if they want to be sent errands, they have to be awarded officials in advance.
After Zhao Min explained, Yang Congyi understood, in fact, he wanted to go back to Wuxue to go through the procedures for suspension. Since the daily management of martial arts is under the supervision of the country, that is, Zhao Min is in management. Yang Congyi immediately signed a suspension document and left his fingerprints, filling in the formalities that should be done, so that if he was dismissed after completing his errands, he could also go back to martial arts to study, wait for the completion of his studies to be conferred an official again, or participate in the imperial examination.
This is actually a big deal for Yang Congyi, if Hui Yi really has an accident and is dismissed from his position, he is still a martial arts student, and his student status is still there, so he can continue to study, and he will have the opportunity to enter the career again. But he didn't want a second chance, because time didn't allow it, and when he came back in two years, he would enter the martial arts school for another three years, and waste five years of time before and after, which was unacceptable. This time the opportunity to confer an official is fully enough.
When he came out of the country and returned to the place where he returned to Yi Douzao, it was already past noon.
When Gu Qingchen saw him coming back, he hurriedly went to heat up the food, and then brought it out again.
As usual, the two ate silently.
"Senior brother, I don't want to stay in Lin'an, Lin'an is too noisy and noisy, and I can't sleep well at night." Gu Qingchen suddenly spoke.
Yang Congyi was not surprised, and asked casually, "Then where do you want to go?" ”
Gu Qingchen said: "I want to go to Quanzhou with you, and when you go to sea, I will wait for you to come back in Quanzhou." It should cost less over there than in Lin'an. You don't know, just these days, the money has been used up, and things in Lin'an are so expensive. She lowered her head and explained clearly the reason why she was going to Quanzhou.
Yang Congyi replied: "It's okay, we are going to separate as soon as we meet, and I don't worry about you, so let's go to Quanzhou together." ”
Hearing this answer, Gu Qingchen's eyes were full of joy, and he casually picked up the vegetables and put them in his bowl: "Senior brother is happy, eat more." ”
Yang Congyi smiled: "When you are growing your body, you should also eat more." In the future, you can buy some chicken, duck and fish, and it doesn't cost much, although it is not much, it is enough for the two of us to live, so we don't have to save so much. As he spoke, he also put some dishes in Gu Qingchen's bowl.
"Okay, I got it."
That night, the chicken, duck and fish on the dinner table were complete, and six or seven dishes were put on the table, which was very sumptuous, which made Yang Congyi dumbfounded, this lady is too sincere, such a way to eat, his little money is really not enough to eat for a long time.
"Senior brother, today is a good day, we should celebrate it." Gu Qingchen looked at Yang Congyi's somewhat abnormal eyes, and hurriedly explained.
"Hahaha...... Since you want to live a good life, you have to eat three meals a day, and you have to eat meat every day, and you don't have enough money to spend it. Yang Congyi smiled and said, the date of return is confirmed, and it is indeed a good day.
The two of them are full, and they only eat half of the food on one table, and tomorrow they will eat the leftovers of the day.
During the few days of waiting at home, a few more people were recruited one after another.
During this period, Lord Huang came again, and explained some things to Yang Congyi, and told him that Hui Yi was the envoy of Zuo Shilangzhong, named Dai Cong, who had served in the household department for more than ten years, and then served in the Ministry of Rites, and was promoted to Zuo Shilang two years ago.
Hearing this, Yang Congyi was a little worried, it is estimated that this Dai Cong is not a person who is easy to get along with. He doesn't know what kind of official Zuo Shilang is, but he can serve as a Beijing official in the Ministry of Household and Rites for more than ten years, and his status will not be low, and the power behind him will not be small. But these have little to do with him, Lord Gao is a close servant of the official family, and his status is not low, no matter what the problem is, he should be able to withstand it.
The people and things that needed to be coordinated by the tall adults before, he had already arranged or coordinated. The Imperial Medical Bureau has agreed to send five people to sea with the fleet. As for the monks, he also asked others to invite them, and they would go to Quanzhou together when the time came. The Brocade Temple also greeted them, and they sent ten garment craftsmen to accompany them when they set out. Military resources and ordnance are also being coordinated, and the approval document of the Ministry of War can be issued in three or two days, and the approval document can be directly taken to the ordnance supervision as soon as it arrives.
The most important thing is that the date of going to sea is finally determined by the imperial court, November 29 is the preferred date, followed by December 16, Gao Daren has also determined the date of leaving Lin'an, he will leave on November 15, and Dai Cong still has some things to deal with, and it is estimated that he will delay leaving Lin'an for a few days.
Master Gao told Yang Congyi that he would bring nearly a hundred people with him at that time, and the imperial doctors, monks, and garment craftsmen would also leave together. As for travel, the imperial court has arranged to take a boat out of Hangzhou Bay together and go south to Quanzhou along the coast. The military resources and ordnance received by Xuanwei Jun also went south with the ship, and he only needed to hand over the approval document of the Ministry of War to the Ordnance Superintendent, and he didn't have to worry about carrying and loading the ship, just count the points on the ship.
Before, Yang Congyi was still worried about how to transport the ordnance, but he didn't expect that Master Gao had already coordinated it in advance, which saved him a lot of things.
Waiting for Lord Gao to leave, he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have nothing to do in Lin'an, all the things to be done by Lord Gao had been arranged and coordinated, and he only needed to wait quietly and wait until the fifteenth day to leave with Lord Gao.
Two days later, Mr. Gao sent someone to send an approval document from the Ministry of War agreeing to transfer military funds and ordnance.
Yang Congyi looked at the approval document, only to see that it listed in detail the types and quantities of military assets and ordnance, and that day was also casually said, how many specific battles were needed for five battles, he didn't know at all, but seeing the number contained in the document, it was still very much, and there were one million arrows alone, what kind of concept he couldn't imagine, but according to the calculation of five thousand Xuanwei troops, each person could be divided into two hundred arrows, and it should be enough to fight a few high-intensity battles.
On the same day, he submitted the approval document of the Ministry of War to the Ordnance Superintendent, and told them that the military resources and ordnance should leave Lin'an by water on the 15th, and there must be no delay.
The ordnance supervisor said that the above has already explained that the military ordnance will be loaded before departure, and it will not delay the return to the easy travel period.
Everyone else said so, Yang Congyi naturally knew what he meant, he came over with the paperwork just to go through the motions, and the military assets and ordnance contained in the documents must have all been prepared, and they could be loaded on the ship and sailed at any time.
Leaving from the Ordnance Prison and on the way back, Yang Congyi obviously felt that Lin'an no longer needed him, everything was handled well, and there was no room for interference at all.
That's fine, he doesn't ask for much, first go to Quanzhou smoothly, be promoted to the ninth grade, and then go to sea, even if there is no real power, if the fleet makes money, there is still room for promotion after returning.
The errand of returning to Yi Du is finally over, and he doesn't need to interfere anymore, he is happy to let it go, and do whatever he arranges.
After telling Gu Qingchen the date of leaving Lin'an, she immediately began to pack up her salutes and prepare to leave.
