The tormenting autumn rain has finally stopped, the water level of the Yellow River has finally decreased, and there is no need to worry about it ravaging both sides of the river, and even the White Lotus Sect, which has been a headache for the government, has been almost uprooted, and this mid-September is really a good thing for the officials in Shandong.

Many people feel that they can finally live a relaxed and comfortable life, even if it is the busy autumn harvest season next, but after all, the government has received grain after mid-October, at least there is not much to do in this month.

Only Lu Jin, the governor of Shandong Province, did not have such a blessing, and after solving a series of problems about the White Lotus Sect and arresting the remaining White Lotus cultists who were hiding among the people, he turned his attention to the more important matter of opening coastal ports, and there was no chance to rest at all.

Although relying on dealing with the White Lotus Sect allowed him to completely take the initiative in the face of subordinate officials, he didn't dare to leave everything to these not very honest officials to take care of the opening of the port, and he had to lead the way in front and keep an eye on it at any time to rest assured. And in this way, there is a lot of busyness.

Don't look at the opening of the port is just an infrastructure-like project, for future generations, as long as the funds and manpower are in place, it will not take much time to complete. But for today's Ming government, this project is still not small, just the requisition of thousands of people, plus the need to transport all kinds of tools and materials to the coastal Weihai area, the whole overall planning is still a big trouble.

Fortunately, before coming to Shandong, Lu Zhen received a huge amount of information from Yu Qian when Zheng He went to the West, which included all kinds of data and rules about the construction of coastal ports, otherwise it would not be possible for him to grope for the construction of such a port in a short time.

But even so, there are still so many things that he needs to deal with and decide every day, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of opportunities in the day. So during this period of time, Lu Zhen almost didn't have any free time, and he was buried in various documents and decisions every day, and he didn't even have time to step out of the door.

Fortunately, this kind of effort is finally somewhat rewarded, only ten days of work, Wendeng County has been reported back, under the efforts of many people, the foundation of the port has begun to see its shape, only wait for the delivery of other materials, you can enter the real construction.

After looking at what was written on this official document, Lu Jin's face couldn't help but show a satisfied smile. According to his calculations, perhaps in another month or two, the port will begin to take shape. After the end of the year, Weihai will completely change its appearance and become the first port since Zheng He that can communicate with overseas. After all, the requirements for the port at this time are far less stringent than those of later generations, as long as the large ships of twenty or thirty thousand catties can enter and exit smoothly without being affected by the tide, the port is qualified. Moreover, even if there is a problem, it can be improved slowly in the future, after all, Ruth has to go step by step, and things have to be done little by little.

Just as Lu Jinchang breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea that had already cooled to refresh himself, he saw Han Wutong come to the door with a little excitement on his face: "Master......"

"Is there anything you want to report?" Lu Zhen asked while pulling out another official document to browse it. However, what the other party said next made his actions pause: "Master, Qufu Confucius Sect sent their second steward to come to visit, and they are already waiting in front of the hall." ”

"Huh?" After Lu Zhen heard this, his movements were stagnant, and a look of vigilance appeared on his face, after all, what should have come has come! He had long known from Gao Qianzhong and others about the role played by the Kong family in the previous matter, and this big family that had been inherited for thousands of years was really as strong as Yu Qian said, and he strongly resisted the matter of opening the sea!

Since he subdued Gao Quanzhong and other subordinates, he has been waiting for what kind of reaction the Kong family will make. Unexpectedly, they were quite patient, and it took more than ten days to finally find the door. But the more this is the case, the more he doesn't dare to take it lightly, obviously this Kong family should have known the previous result, so it must have a perfect plan.

He was on guard, but Lu Zhen still said, "Invite someone to come in and talk." "Although the Kong family only sent a house slave steward to see him, after all, he is a hereditary prince and a descendant of the heavens, so he naturally has to show some respect as a civil official.

Han Wutong was obviously stunned for a moment, and after glancing at his own adult, he agreed again and hurriedly went out to invite someone. In his opinion, even if it is the steward of the Kong family, his identity is extraordinary, and his master should go out to greet him and show his respect for Confucius. But he's just a subordinate, and some things are not easy to say, so he has to call people hard.

After a moment, he turned around again, and there was already a forty-year-old man in a robe, with slender eyebrows, and a very scholarly appearance. To say that the Confucian family is indeed worthy of the existence of the world's scholars, he does not look as shrewd as ordinary housekeepers, but looks elegant and calm, and the air of books is blowing in his face.

"Student Kong Che pays a visit to Lord Futai." After the visitor entered the door, he first bent down to worship, but he did not kneel and bow like ordinary people to see such a high-ranking official, and from his self-proclaim, people can also understand why. The Ming Dynasty treats scholars preferentially, as long as they are meritorious and famous, they can see that the officials do not worship and maintain their personal dignity.

Lu Zhen raised his head and looked at the other party carefully, and then raised his hand and said, "Manager Kong doesn't have to be polite. But that's all there is to it, and there is no point in going any further, letting him sit down and talk.

Seeing this, a trace of unhappiness flashed in Kong Che's eyes, and he secretly said in his heart that this governor is really a big shelf.

You must know that in this Shandong, the Kong family is completely the existence of the emperor, not to mention the second steward who can be ranked in the house, even if an ordinary house slave goes out to see the prefect and even the prefect, there is also a seat. And he even sat with a provincial domain like Gao Duzhong before, and the other party did not have any superior performance. I didn't expect to be so despised in front of this young governor.

This is not only a contempt for him, but also a disrespect to the entire Kong family. Therefore, Rao is not a shallow city, and it is inevitable to show some unhappy thoughts. However, in front of Lu Zhen, he didn't dare to attack after all, so he could only stand with his hands tied down a little embarrassed.

Lu Jin was not busy talking to him, and after dealing with an official document at hand, he raised his head and said: "This official has been busy with government affairs recently, and he has been neglecting a lot, and I hope that Manager Kong will not be surprised." ”

"Don't dare." Kong Che could only say this against his will.

"In fact, this official also has a lot of respect and admiration for Yan Shenggong, and he planned to take the time to go to Qufu to visit Guogong, but he was entangled in all kinds of things, so he could only be rude. I don't know if Yan Shenggong is in good health? ”

"My lord's words are serious, everything should be put first in state affairs. The head of the family has always been strong, thank you for your concern. Kong Che had quickly adjusted his mentality, and his reply at this time was very appropriate.

Lu Zhen also chatted with him for a few words, and then introduced the topic: "I don't know what the steward has to say when he comes to see this official today?" But he came here at the behest of the Holy Father? ”

Kong Che was waiting for this sentence, and immediately said: "What the adults said is that the students are here by order. This is a letter written by the head of the family, and I invite you to look at it. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.

"Oh? Is Yan Shenggong so concerned? Lu Zhen said this meaningfully, but still got up and took the letter. For this Kong family's steward, he can still deal with it at will with his identity, but in the face of Kong Yanjin's handwritten letter, he has to correct his posture. Otherwise, if the person in front of him gossiped and said that he had despised Yan Shenggong, it would be a lot of trouble.

Open the envelope, take out the letter, a dignified and powerful block letters came into view, just this word, to make the first glimpse of the calligraphy of the Governor Lu feel admiration in his heart. Then, he carefully read the contents of the letter in front of the other party.

Although he had been mentally prepared before this, after seeing the content of this letter, Lu Jin's brows still wrinkled involuntarily.

Sure enough, as expected, this letter from Yan Shenggong came in response to the opening of the sea. His position is also quite clear - please Governor Lu quickly stop this foolish act of working hard for the people and money, and violating the ancestral system. And the reason for this has long been a cliché, Lu Zhen only glanced at it, and he was not interested in taking a closer look.

There were nearly two or three thousand words sprinkled with joy, but Lu Zhen only glanced at them in a hurry and finished reading them, and put the letter on the table. This made Kong Che a little dissatisfied, which was obviously disrespectful to his own master.

But he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Lu Zhen because of this, but said: "It seems that Lord Futai has understood the meaning of the family master's letter." I wonder what the lord of the family meant by the abolition of the opening of the sea? I also hope that my adults can think of the well-being of the people of Shandong, and don't make decisions that I will regret in the future. There was still a hint of threat in his words.

Lu Jin's eyebrows suddenly raised, and the corners of his mouth curled: "It seems that Yan Shenggong also has instructions for managing Kong." I don't know how he asked you to talk to the official, and if the official refused to do so, what was his attitude? ”

"Lord Futai has always been concerned about the world, and he has also made many contributions to my Ming court, and he is a very close person to His Majesty, so the meaning of the head of the family, my lord will definitely not be so confused."

Hearing the meaning of the other party's words, Lu Jin's face stiffened slightly, and then the corners of his mouth raised, and a smile appeared!
