For Shen Xi, it is a beautiful thing for his wife and children to be by his side, even if the conditions are more difficult, he can be comfortable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yesterday, Shen Xi was still a bachelor like Tang Yin, but overnight, he hugged left and right, enjoying the blessings of all people, whether it was Xie Yun'er, Lin Dai, who had already started, or Xie Hengnu, who had just started, they all needed his husband to comfort him very much.

Anyway, there is nothing official in the yamen, he can even stay in the backyard all day long, and Xiaoyu, Zhu Shan and others will be responsible for three meals a day, and Ma Jiu, Zhu Qi and others will greet him at the yamen, Shen Xi is like an emperor who is addicted to the harem, he plunged into the gentle township, and all official affairs were thrown out of the clouds, and even the tolerance of going to Guangzhou to set up the political envoy seemed to be forgotten by Shen Xi.

When he is tired, Xie Hengnu pinched his waist and beat his legs, when he was thirsty, Lin Dai brought him herbal tea, and when he was hot, Yin Wen fanned the wind next to him, and when he was hungry, Xie Yun'er would prepare the food...... Shen Xi found that in the blink of an eye, his days in Wuzhou Mansion changed from lonely and lonely to leisurely.

Wuzhou Mountain is high and the emperor is far away, he is the largest among the officials of the three provinces, he does not take the initiative to go out to cause trouble, it is already those who burn high incense for the officials, the prefect of Wuzhou and the county of Cangwu are respectful of him, there is no official business here at all, saying that he is here to be an official, no matter how you look at it, it is like a tour of the mountains and rivers, a vacation and a summer vacation.

“…… Xianggong, the old lady's illness is getting more and more serious, and she is bedridden at this time, but somehow, her spirit is not bad, and she always chatters non-stop every day, and her mother said that the old lady wants you to go back and see, can you take a time to go back to Ninghua? ”

Xie Yun'er told Shen Xi about the Shen family in Ninghua County, but Shen Xi was not interested in it.

Yin Wen was fanning the wind next to him, as soon as Shen Xi stretched out his hand, the tea was automatically handed over, and occasionally he would stretch out his salty pig hand to tease Xie Hengnu, or make the untrained Yin Wen blush, Shen Xi felt that he was living an unrestrained imperial life.

Shen Xi said: "Grandmother's condition has worsened, isn't there something stimulating?" ”

An old man, a lifetime of hard work, after the old age to let go of the responsibility to the family, Alzheimer's, sick in bed and still thinking about counting people, this must be caused by strong stimulation.

Xie Yun'er was a little embarrassed: "It's about that after the old lady learned that her mother and concubine were enshrined as a pleasant person, she had a bad heart......

And so it was!

In the eyes of the Li family, the Shen family has the most credit for her, as for the Zhou family and Xie Yun'er, they both gave her shoes, but now it's good, after Shen Xi became an official, others attributed the credit to Shen Mingjun and his wife's godson, and even the imperial court edict was only Zhou and Xie Yun'er, she was left aside, can she feel better?

Even if the Li family is old and confused, they also know the importance of the edict, which is the highest honor pursued by women in these years, and it is to be able to glorify the ancestors and enter the ancestral hall after death.

You didn't give a fate, no matter how great the credit is, you can't enter the ancestral ancestral hall as a woman!

Shen Xi thought for a while and said: "In a short period of time, my husband doesn't have time to go back to Tingzhou, you can rest for a few days first, and when your body recovers, we will leave for Guangzhou Mansion and settle there." ”

When Xie Hengnu heard this, he immediately said aggrievedly: "Huh? Seventh brother, are we going to leave again? ”

For Xie Hengnu, Yin Wen and Lu Xi'er, these girls are the most fatal to travel and work, and they hope to settle down as soon as possible, as for whether the life is hard or not, they don't have too many requirements for appetite, they just want to stay with Shen Xi, and the family life is worry-free and happy.

"My task is to quell the bandits, appease the place, always go to the city of Guangzhou, and when I get there, I will no longer move the nest, and after three years and two years, we will return to the capital." Shen Xi said with a smile.

Xie Hengnu asked with concern, "What about you, Seventh Brother?" ”

Shen Xi replied: "I will naturally go with you and settle down over there first." It's like being in the capital, when you don't have any business, I'll go home and accompany you......"

Shen Xi's words were simple, but he knew that he always had to lead his troops to fight against local bandits, but some things could be changed, he was a civilian official, and he couldn't charge into battle in person, he only needed to command others to do it, and he could be the person who coordinated and dispatched.

But whether it is a general or a soldier, he has to call the armies of the three provinces, but now he doesn't even have a subordinate he can trust.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "It's a pity that Wang Lingzhi's kid is not here, if he is by my side, won't the brothers be able to sweep away the bandits?" Maybe he will leave his reputation in history, and the history books mention the famous generals of the anti-Japanese war, in addition to Qi Jiguang, the name of Wang Lingzhi must be added! ”

This kind of thing can only be thought of out of thin air, and the coastal pirates are far less rampant than in the late Jiajing Dynasty. If Shen Xi can quell the local Japanese bandits and then organize a strong coastal defense, perhaps the future Japanese rebellion will be eliminated invisibly.

……

……

Shen Xi set the time of departure on the eighth day of the seventh month.

Let the ladies around you have a good rest, and then take a boat down the Xijiang River, and it is estimated that it will take seven or eight days to reach Guangzhou.

At this time, the Sun family sent gifts again, this time the gifts were relatively heavy, but they were only some fine fabrics, tea and local specialties, plus fifty taels of silver, which was considered a "big deal", but no matter how Shen Xi looked at the other party, it was like asking for food...... You don't have to ask me for help, I don't plan to take your money, but I don't even have the least respect, how can I help you do things?

Shen Xi's way of dealing with it was very simple, and he returned the gift directly.

To help or not, he didn't plan to go to any official letter to inquire about the matter in advance, and wait until he arrived in Guangzhou Mansion to see what the situation was, the Sun family said that he was framed by the government, and Shen Xi would not rashly accept it.

Just as Shen Xi was about to leave, something unfortunate happened, and there was an earthquake in Wuzhou Mansion.

At noon that day, Shen Xi was eating with his family in the house, and suddenly felt that the mountains were shaking for a while, Shen Xi reacted quickly, yelled "earthquake, run", and then dragged Xie Hengnu who was sitting beside him, and snatched the child on Xie Yun'er's knee on the other side, took it into his arms, and then rushed out of the yard.

Although the Governor's Yamen is a little dilapidated, it is a brick and stone structure, and the roof beams are very strong, and in the end only two firewood houses collapsed, and no one was injured, but the situation of ordinary houses in Cangwu County is not so good.

After the earthquake, many houses collapsed in the city, and the exact number of casualties is not yet known.

Shen Xi didn't know how to deal with it, Wuzhou Governor Cao Ju hurriedly brought the people from the government and Cangwu County to ask to see Shen Xi, it was obvious that in the earthquake this matter, Cao Ju did not dare to make a decision, it happened that Wuzhou City Governor Fu Yamen had just come to a governor of the three provinces, so he simply came to ask Shen Xi how to deal with the aftermath.

Cao Ju is a nine-year jinshi of Hongzhi, over fifty years old, and in six years, he has achieved the position of prefect, and his promotion is relatively fast, but because he is older, there is not much room for promotion after that.

Generally, the second-class and third-class jinshi, the official is the subordinate official of the prefect or the political envoy, but often those who are old and middle-aged jinshi have a certain advantage, because they are senior, sleek and sophisticated, and know how to cater to the officials.

And Cao Ju, who belongs to a family of eunuchs, is a native of Guiyang, Huguang, close to Guangdong, and knows the customs of Guangxi very well.

“…… Shen Zhongcheng, in the first year of the drought in Guangxi, there was a plague around Wuzhou City, the treasury was not abundant, and now it is a natural disaster, do you wait for the report to the Guangxi Domain, and then carry out disaster relief? ”

Cao Ju's disaster relief is not about pulling people who have been landfilled from the rubble, but about allocating money and food for relief.

The reason is very simple, the government treasury is tight, there is no extra money and food, if you want to use the government treasury to appease the victims, you must report to the Guangxi political envoy.

Shen Xi is depressed, why am I so unlucky, I can still encounter an earthquake when I come to Wuzhou?

Now Cao Ju has no money and food, and Shen Xi can't change it, so he can only reply angrily: "How the Cao Governor's Mansion wants to provide disaster relief, you don't need to ask the official for instructions...... The official is too busy to take care of himself and send off the guests! ”

To put it bluntly, Cao Ju wanted Shen Xi to preside over the disaster relief matters, so whether he had merit or demerits, it didn't have much to do with him. But Shen Xi won't take the initiative to find trouble...... I'm here to level the coastal bandits, and the occurrence of natural and man-made disasters in the local area has nothing to do with me, and it is useless to tell me.

In the next two days, local disasters were reported one after another.

The epicenter of the earthquake was in the mountainous area of Tengxian County in the west of Wuzhou Prefecture, affecting the surrounding Pingle Mansion, Xunzhou Prefecture and Zhaoqing Prefecture, Gaozhou Mansion and Luoding Prefecture in Guangdong.

The scope of this earthquake was very large, but fortunately, the intensity was not high, and the impact on Cangwu County, where Shenxi was located, was not as serious as imagined, and there were less than 100 victims.

In order to prevent aftershocks, there was no room to sleep, so Shen Xi could only let people set up tents in the open area of the courtyard.

In the absence of medical care, the residents of the city are still unable to rescue, let alone the ordinary people outside the city.

The prefect yamen had nothing to do about it, and Shen Xi had no choice but to temporarily come up with a set of disaster relief plans, organize the servants of the prefecture and county yamen to build shacks on the vacant land, and let Ma Jiu go out to contact the merchants, buy a batch of food for emergencies, and set up temporary porridge shops in some places outside the city, so that the homeless people can temporarily have a place to stay and have something to eat.

Originally, Shen Xi planned to set off on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but because of the earthquake, his trip had to be delayed, so he stayed to make proper arrangements for disaster relief first. Although he didn't want to take responsibility for the local yamen, he still had a basic sense of responsibility, and as the governor of the three provinces, the earthquake happened right under his nose.

Shen Xi didn't have much money with him, so he could only use it to buy some basic food and medicinal materials, and as for the rest, he needed to be allocated by the prefect's yamen.

Shen Xi took the opportunity to check the treasury of Wuzhou Mansion, and the situation was extremely bad.

Although there is a background to the plague in Wuzhou in the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, the treasury will definitely not bottom out. Since this is the case in Wuzhou, the local government coffers of Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian provinces are estimated to be no better, and it is very difficult to expect the local government to raise money and grain to supply him for the war.
