Outside the city of Guangzhou, at the Tianzi Wharf, a group of high-ranking officials from Guangdong lined up to greet each other, and the people on both sides of the strait looked forward to it, colorful flags were flying, and the voices of the people were boiling, and it was very lively.

The new governor of Fuguang sent an envoy to the imperial court, or to inspect Guangdong, which was a great event.

Guangdong is located in a remote area, land transportation is inconvenient, the court officials for several years are rare to come to one, this time finally see a big one, the prefect Yamen also bought several boats of frangipani, placed on the river bank on both sides of the port, basket by basket, let people to take it, the common people naturally flocked to it.

However, the common people have been watching with their necks stretched for a long time, but they have never seen the Governor.

The Governor seemed to have a very large shelf, and this big-waisted guard got off the boats and boats, but he didn't get out of the boat.

It wasn't until the forty or so people on the boat were almost finished, and the guards were all standing in the entire port, and finally a different one came down, a jade-faced scholar in a big red robe and Shi Shiran got off the ship surrounded by several people.

Who is this young man, the people on both sides are at a loss.

The style of the official uniform was unrecognizable to the common people, but the Guangdong officials present could recognize it clearly, and the officials who had just stood there and waited suddenly hugged them and fell to the ground.

"Wow", the people on both sides of the strait suddenly talked about it like a fried pot, it turned out that this young man is the governor, he is such a beautiful boy!

Zhang Bin was simply stunned by the scene in front of him, this scene was completely different from what he imagined.

The wharf is clean and tidy, the people are smiling, the colorful flags are numerous, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, and a bunch of children holding flowers shout "welcome, welcome" in unison.

Is this Guangdong, which is full of bandits?

Seeing a bunch of officials rushing up and falling to the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hands and said, "No courtesy, no courtesy." ”

Only then did the officials get up from the ground, and then an old man with a goatee came up and arched his hands and said enthusiastically: "Your Excellency the Governor, everyone is here, it is really a blessing for the people of Nanyue, and I will wait for ......." ”

Dizzy, this is about to be a sycophant, Zhang Bin hurriedly pretended to be surprised: "Are you?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "The subordinate Guangdong Chengxuan political envoy Si Zuobu political envoy Wen Gaomo." ”

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to the officials below and introduced them one by one: "This is the right political envoy Di Cunxing, this is the criminal envoy Zhang Jiuxian, and this is the commander of the capital envoy Meng Zou Wei ......." ”

After an introduction, Zhang Bin found that all the officials above the fifth grade came here, which was really enough to save face.

After the introduction of the officials above the fifth grade, Wen Gaomo licked his face again and said: "Please forgive my subordinates for being presumptuous, I don't know what kind of business the adults have come this time, if the subordinates can help, they will do their best to help the adults do their best." ”

Is this a temptation?

Zhang Bin straightened his face and arched his hand to the north: "This time, this official is ordered by the emperor to be the governor of Fuguang and Guangzhou, one is to exterminate the pirate Liu Xiang who is entrenched in the southeast sea, and the other is to solve the problem of Hongmaofan, and I also ask Lord Wen and you to help a lot." ”

Wen Gaomo didn't have any unusual expression, and still said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, my subordinates will do their best to cooperate, by the way, where are you going to stay, do you want your subordinates to arrange it for you." ”

This guy is so deep in the city, Zhang Bin pretended to hesitate, glanced at the officials present, and then said to Meng Zouwei, the commander of the capital: "This official will live in the Yamen of the capital." ”

Meng Zou Wei was obviously stunned, and it wasn't until Wen Gaomo coughed that he suddenly woke up, and said again and again: "Oh, it is an honor for my Guangdong Metropolitan Division to stay in the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division, welcome and welcome." ”

This guy seems to be easier to deal with, Zhang Bin smiled and nodded, then arched his hands for a moment, and then said loudly: "Thank you for greeting, everyone go back, official business is important." ”

The officials present were all taken aback, they dispersed, and they hadn't eaten yet!

Wen Gaomo still said with a smile on his face: "My lord has worked hard all the way, and we shouldn't have bothered me, but my subordinates have prepared a little wine and food, I don't know if my lord can appreciate it?" ”

Zhang Bin took the opportunity to say: "It's been floating on the sea for a day, and I'm indeed a little tired, next time, the official can just eat at the Yamen of the Dusi Division." ”

Wen Gaomo didn't force it, Zhang Bin refused, he immediately nodded and said: "My lord has worked hard all the way, my subordinates understand, my subordinates will send my lord to the Yamen of the Dusi, by the way, my lord, do you want to sit in a sedan chair or ride a horse?" ”

The preparation is so thoughtful, this Wen Gaomo is very thoughtful, Zhang Bin pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I'm about to get sick after a day of stuffing in the cabin, let's ride a horse, just bring a few horses over." ”

Wen Gaomo nodded, glanced at Zhang Bin's back, and then beckoned to the back: "Quick, go and bring twenty horses over." ”

Twenty horses? Zhang Bin couldn't help but look back, it seemed that there were four people behind him!

As soon as he looked at the front, he immediately understood that there were exactly more than ten officials above the fifth grade, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Wen, don't send each other, let everyone go back, it's not good to delay the business, this is not Lord Meng." ”

Wen Gaomo seemed to be very obedient, and as soon as Zhang Bin spoke, he immediately waved his hand to the officials behind him and said, "The governor said that there is no need to send it, everyone should go back to deal with official business." ”

A group of officials hurriedly said goodbye and left, and soon there were only a few officials from the Dusi Yamen and Wen Gaomo, the political envoy of Zuobu, left on the dock.

After a while, the horse also came over, Zhang Bin took Cao Wenzhao and others on the horse, Meng Zou Wei also took all the officials of the Dusi Yamen on the horse, there were still more than a dozen horses left, Wen Gaomo led the horse to stand there and arched his hand: "Then the subordinates will not disturb the adults to rest, if the adults have something, just send someone to say hello, and the subordinates must do it for the adults." ”

Zhang Bin nodded, bowed his hand, and then signaled Meng Zou Wei to lead the way, and a group of people just beat their horses and slowly marched towards the city of Guangzhou, and the thousands of guards behind slowly collected the team, lined up in a neat phalanx to follow behind, so it was not mighty.

Zhang Bin was surprised all the way, not only inside the city, but also outside the city is densely packed with houses, shops, restaurants, and tea shops can be seen everywhere, which is even more prosperous than Fuzhou City.

The common people are all with flowers, crowded on both sides of the street, looking at their own group excitedly, there is no complaint at all, the people's grievances are boiling, what is going on?

It is impossible for his cousin Huang Cheng to lie to him, there must be many bandits in Guangdong, why can't this ordinary person see the appearance of being a bandit?

After thinking about it all the way, he finally came to the Dusi Yamen, and when he entered the gate, he saw that the layout was similar to the Fujian Dusi Yamen, and the inside was also very tidy, but the houses were a little old, and there were very few people inside, which seemed to be very deserted, which was similar to what he imagined.

Meng Zou Wei hit the horse and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, you see that this barracks can also accommodate five or six hundred people, or will your subordinates let people take some military tents?" ”

The barracks on both sides of the school field can probably accommodate 600 people, looking at the deserted appearance of the Dusi Yamen, it is estimated that there are no 60 people in it, but Zhang Bin can bring 90 teams of guards, more than 1,000 people, and the remaining more than 400 people seem to have no place to live.

Zhang Bin thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No need, just let them squeeze it, anyway, you have to arrange people to take turns on duty, and you can vacate the guest house again." ”

There are 12 hours a day, a round of 4 hours, 30 groups each time, 360 people, and the rest is more than 700 people, plus the guest house is just enough to stay.

Meng Zou Wei roughly estimated the number of Zhang Bin's personal guards, and he felt about the same, so he hurriedly said to the back: "Go quickly, let people clean up the guest house, and also, the guards in the barracks let them all move to the miscellaneous dormitory." ”

These guards are the elite of the elite, Zhang Bin doesn't have to care about them at all, he followed Meng Zou Wei all the way through the big school field in front, got off the horse, entered the inside, the lobby, the yamen, the study, looked all the way, and finally came to the backyard, Meng Zou Wei said with a little embarrassment: "My lord, the family members on the left are subordinates, and the courtyard on the right is still empty, or I let the family move out to live?" ”

Zhang Bin looked back at Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew, and asked them if they wanted to live in the backyard with him, Cao Wenzhao hurriedly shook his head and said, "My lord, let's live in the barracks." ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said: "That's okay, Master Meng, don't bother, I'll bring a personal guard, how much space can I live, one yard is enough." ”

Meng Zou Wei is inexplicable, just bring a personal guard to live, why are you bringing so many personal guards here?

This Governor is so strange.

He didn't notice that the "personal guard" Qi Fanghua's face was already flushed with shame.

After a long period of tossing, Zhang Bin finally settled down, ate something hastily, and then took Zhao Ru and other guards on duty outside to the study, ready to start working.

The first thing is to understand the situation of the garrison here, after all, Guangdong is also a huge province, and you can't transfer people from Fujian for everything, so it's good to be able to organize the garrison here and suppress bandits.

This study was originally worked by Meng Zouwei, and he didn't know that Zhang Bin would settle in the Dusi Yamen, so he didn't have any preparations, and at this moment, he was taking someone to tidy it up.

When Zhang Bin came in, his personal things were almost moved, and when he saw the Governor coming, he hurriedly urged his subordinates to quickly take out the remaining items, and then said with a little panic: "Your Excellency, you haven't rested, I'm almost done, please do it." ”

After that, he turned around and was about to go out, but Zhang Bin raised his hand and said, "Master Meng, please wait a moment." ”

Meng Zou Wei hurriedly turned around and arched his hand: "What do you command?" ”

Zhang Bin looked at the layout in the study for a while, then walked to the coffee table and sat down, beckoning: "Master Meng, come, sit, let's talk." ”

Meng Zou Wei hurriedly walked to the other side of the coffee table and sat down respectfully.

Why is this guy so reserved?

Zhang Bin smiled and said, "Master Meng, you are not yet forty, you are really young and promising." ”

This is normal for others to say, and the commander who was promoted to the second rank before forty is indeed young and promising, but it is a little weird for Zhang Bin to say it.

You are not yet thirty, okay, you are the governor of the two provinces, my second-grade martial arts is a fart in front of you, Meng Zou Wei said embarrassedly: "The governor has won the award, and his subordinates are also stained with the light of his father, and the inheritance is nothing." ”

Zhang Bin couldn't help but say curiously: "Oh, who is Ling Zun?" ”

Meng Zou Wei remembered: "My father Meng Zongwen was originally the deputy chief soldier of Nanao Town, because of his meritorious service in capturing and beheading Japanese slaves, he was promoted to the right governor of the former military capital and the chief military officer of Guangdong. ”

Zhang Bin's strange ah, it's not a real job to inherit it, it's okay, you're a second-class governor of the same thing, and it's not the same thing as being a commander.

Meng Zou Wei saw Zhang Bin's puzzled expression, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not afraid of the governor's jokes, in fact, the subordinate also picked up the position of commander, because the former commander bribed Wei Zhongxian, and even more praised his ancestral hall, and was dismissed, no one took this mess, and his subordinates were recommended." ”

Zhang Bin couldn't help but be curious: "Oh, mess? ”

Meng Zou Wei consciously lost his words, his face suddenly became ugly, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

This guy feels like a stunned young man, maybe this commander really picked it up, Zhang Bin rolled his eyes, smiled and encouraged: "Lord Meng, our chatting is not about business, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, it's a pastime." ”

When Meng Zou Wei heard this, he gritted his teeth and plucked up his courage and said: "Actually, these are nothing, adults can know with a little inquiry, the eleven guards and thirteen thousand households in Guangdong are basically deserted, and there are not many guards left. ”

Zhang Bin said with a smile: "These people, public weapons for private use, aren't they afraid that the court will clean them up?" ”

Meng Zou Wei really had the potential to be a little stunned, and when he opened the chatterbox, he couldn't close it, he shook his head directly and said: "The imperial court can only see what everyone presents, Guangdong's annual taxes are normal, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, why should the imperial court clean them up?" ”

This guy looks a little unhappy that he has been set aside, and he dares to say anything, okay, he needs this kind of stunned blue.

Zhang Bin continued to smile and said: "Well, it seems to be like this, the governors in front of this official came to see this is like this, right?" ”

Unexpectedly, Meng Zou Wei shook his head and said, "How many governors have you been in the past? It seems that there has been no governor since the beginning of the apocalypse, last year, I heard that the newly appointed governor of Liangguang, Wang Zunde, Wang Zunde, intended to come over, Lord Wen, they are ready for a while, but, after the New Year, we suddenly received a joint document from the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, Guangdong was assigned to the governor of Fuguang, and Lord Wen They were very busy for a while. ”

It seems that Chongzhen is also the same as himself, a little messy of mandarin duck scores, this Guangdong was originally under the jurisdiction of the governor of Guangxi, that is, the governor of Guangxi and Guangzhou, and as soon as he mentioned that he was also in charge of Guangdong, Chongzhen agreed without hesitation!

Zhang Bin couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, why are they in a hurry? ”

Meng Zou Wei said bluntly: "Because Lord Wang Zunde and Wang have been inquiring for a long time, they know almost everything about their temperament and personality, but they don't know anything about you, my lord, so they are in a hurry." ”

It seems that these people are going to fool the governor who came to send an envoy, but anyway, they will not stay long before leaving, and they will fool people by creating some illusion to show them.

It's not so easy to fool me, Zhang Bin sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be curious: "Before this official came, I heard that the bandits in Guangdong were quite serious, but today it is normal to look at this port, inside and outside the city, where did the bandits come from?" ”

Meng Zou Wei said without any scheming: "Actually, this Guangzhou City is good, they also warned those messy people before the adults came, let them not come out to obstruct their eyes, and the adults naturally can't see anything." ”
