Xue Huan and Xu Changshan's dirty thoughts, Guan Zhuofan naturally couldn't guess. He still followed his own train of thought and came to Wu Xu to talk about the aftermath.

Of course, Wu Xu was different from Xu Changshan, when he saw Guan Zhuofan, he was extremely enthusiastic and said countless flattering words. However, when it comes to business, Wu Xu's words are in tune with Xu Changshan, in short, the finances are difficult, and it is not easy to supply military salaries alone. And outside the words, there is a faint meaning that in military affairs, Guan Zhuofan will naturally grasp it, but now that the war is over, civil affairs must always be subject to the meaning of the province.

Guan Zhuofan understood, in the final analysis, Wu Xu was still a person on Xue Huan's line, and Xu Changshan and him must have reached a consensus. Guan Zhuofan didn't say anything, returned to the county office, sat in the signing room and pondered about the excerpts, and thought leisurely, this Wu Xu, I have to give him a good hand, and I must write his credit enough-

This is when he was in Rehe, he dealt with the old trick of the "Fuzo Ling" Fu Chengan, the so-called "if you can't step on it, you will hold it". The location of Shanghai Road is too important, put a hob meat like Wu Xu here, can't be cooked, can't be cooked, and always can't do everything smoothly, so you have to find a way to go.

Speaking of which, during his time in Shanghai, Wu Xu did have a lot of help for him, and if he stepped on him, it would be somewhat unrighteous. But now I want to say good things for him, and I can't say that I praise him for promotion, but I am hurting him? Anyway, as long as he leaves the position of Shanghai Daotai, he didn't ask. As for who will take over, he already has a predetermined candidate in mind.

Write what you say. I did it myself, polished a plate of good pine ink, and picked up the pen to write the manuscript. But I feel that my thoughts are sluggish. I don't know where to start.

This excerpt. It is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say that it is simple, and it is necessary to describe the entire process of the war in Shanghai in detail one by one, and the merits and proportions of each person must also be grasped just right, so that the military plane and the empress dowager of the two palaces can see it, and they can understand their own meaning at once. In this way, the reward will not be mistaken. The severity of the pen and the urgency of the tone have become things that are very particular, and with their own pen power, I am afraid that they will not be competent.

So I had to throw my pen in despair, sighed, and said in my heart that I still lacked such a person. The general case is just the foundation of a paperwork, and this kind of thing will never be done, and Libin has to do foreign affairs for himself. It's okay to do it once in a while, but it's not the way to do it in the long run.

Come and think about it. In the end, it reminds him of someone. Liu Xunjiao, Ding Shijie and Yixan, the coastal defense Tongzhi in Songjiang Prefecture, all mentioned it in front of him, saying that Liu Tongzhi was both educated and well-versed in world affairs, and the 800 regiments he trained were better than thousands of officers and soldiers. Whether it was guarding Songjiang City at the beginning, or later sweeping the Taiping Army on the East Road, Liu Xunjiao followed all the way down, never fearless, he really couldn't see that he was a literati, in short, he admired him.

Not...... Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, if there is such a capable person in his own background, wouldn't it be the best helper? made up his mind, invited Jin Yulin to come over, and asked him about Liu Xunji's resume, and after listening, Yu Jue was satisfied.

"He is my predecessor, and naturally he is your predecessor Yixuan." Jin Yulin said jokingly.

Liu Xun is a native of Henan, a Jinshi in the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang, distributed in Jiangsu, and listened to the county in order to know it. Other seven-grade officials, if they want to make up for a real shortage of magistrates, it is difficult and difficult, and they have to work hard; And Jinshi came down to be the magistrate, which is the so-called "tiger class", and it is the most ruthless to fill the vacancy. So he first signed Lou County, and then transferred to Shanghai Zhixian County, all of whom had outstanding political reputations, and then transferred to Songjiang Prefecture to be the same governor of coastal defense, but he was awarded the title of prefect and the official of the fifth grade.

"Although it is a five-grade product, there is often a sigh that I have not met talents." Jin Yulin said, "It's no wonder that with his talents, he has been wronged a little, and he is not good at seeking losses when he suffers." ”

Jinshi's foundation, local experience, and military affairs, where to find such talents? What's more, there are four words "Huai Cai is not met", which is really suitable.

"Lao Jin, please take a trip to Songjiang for me." Guan Zhuofan said, "I want to invite him to the county office for a drink, and discuss something with him." ”

Have a soul above buttons? I'm here to meet it.

As soon as Liu Xunjiao arrived, Guan Zhuofan personally greeted the guests, but instead of dining in the flower hall, he extended it into the backyard and placed this small table of wine in his west wing.

Entertaining guests in the backyard where you live is not solemn, but it is a very affectionate expression, and you can't have such treatment unless you are a good friend who has taken off your deeds. This day is because there is a very confidential matter to discuss, so this arrangement is made.

Liu Xunjiao was a little flattered and a little uneasy, he was not the kind of person with a strict city, and the thoughts in his heart couldn't help but be revealed on his face. Guan Zhuofan saw it in his eyes, remained silent, and warmly beckoned him to sit.

As soon as I sat down, I saw a beautiful woman walking in with a plate of dishes. Liu Xunji was surprised, and hurriedly stood up, but he didn't expect Guan Zhuofan's relatives to greet the guests in person, saying that he wanted to avoid it but it was too late, and he hesitated and didn't know what to call - I heard that this Mr. Guan has not married yet, could this be his aunt's wife?

Guan Zhuofan knew that he had misunderstood, so he hurriedly got up and introduced them to him: "This is Master Liu, and this is Miss Hu." ”

"Hello Master Liu." Hu Qingqing was blessed and turned around.

Since she is called Miss Hu, she is not Guan Zhuofan's wife and concubine. Liu Xunjiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Guan Zhuofan with a smile: "I thought it was Mr. Guan's golden house Zangjiao, but it turned out that it wasn't." ”

"Brother Songyan, call me Yixuan. Now there is no war, what the boss is, never mention it again. Guan Zhuofan said, "This girl has a nickname, called 'delicate and expensive and beautiful chef', I don't know if Brother Songyan has heard of it." ”

"It turned out to be her!" Liu Xunjiao suddenly realized, no wonder he has such a posture, "But I heard that this woman is in charge of the kitchen, and she hires a special high ......" I regretted it before I finished speaking, and said that most of the generals who commanded the army were squandering money, and when I said this, it seemed that I had accused Guan Zhuofan of extravagance, and I stopped talking for a while, not knowing how to come back.

Guan Zhuofan didn't care, and said with a wry smile: "Where can I afford her!" "Regarded Hu Qingqing's "serving the country" into the government as an anecdote, and told Liu Xunzhi about it as it was.

Liu Xun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and suddenly praised him: "What a strange woman!" ”

When two people meet for the first time, it is much easier to start the topic from here. Guan Zhuofan has no pretensions, and completely treats Liu Xunjiao as the predecessor of the "Shanghai Magistrate", and constantly asks him for some local things, but Liu Xunjiao has something to say. The two ate and drank and talked very warmly.

"Brother Songyan, I heard Ding Shijie say that this time on the East Road, your regiment fought very well." Guan Zhuofan pulled the matter back, "I can afford both military and political ends, I am really talented!" ”

"This is really an award - I was lucky in the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang, and it has been fifteen years now," Liu Xunji smiled self-deprecatingly, "What kind of talent is it that has gone from seven to five in fifteen years?" ”

This is a complaint of "Huai Cai is not met". In fifteen years, he has been promoted from seven to five grades, and his career is indeed not smooth.

"Mr. Liu," Guan Zhuofan saw that the heat was almost over, suddenly changed his name, and said respectfully, "There is one thing I want to ask you for." ”

"How dare you do this?" Liu Xun was stunned, looked at Guan Zhuofan's appearance, and knew that he was going to get down to business, so his face turned solemn, and he also changed his title: "Mr. Guan, you don't dare to ask for advice, if there is anything, please do not hesitate to ask." ”

"This time, Ping Changmao, to tell you the truth, Xuan Jun has paid a lot of property from Changmao's hands, and after calculation, there are always more than 200,000 silver things." Guan Zhuofan said, "Among them, there may not be no sheep who come with them, such as the official treasury of each county and the homes of the people." If you are the commander of the Xuan Army, what should you do with these 200,000 taels of silver? ”
