Chapter 234: Rectification Patrol
After some cleaning, the atmosphere in Jinling City has taken on a new look, and the people on the streets have not decreased at all. The more bullies are killed, the more prosperous the market becomes, and the officials who patrol the streets are treated differently. The admiration of the people made them hold their heads high, and for the first time they had a sense of honor because of their errands.
Hou Xuanyan was dressed neatly and prepared to cross the river to Suzhou, Yangzhou is now like a military town, Hou Xuanyan directly ordered Zhu Dadian and Li Haoxian, and he was not ready to go.
Out of Jinling, Hou Xuanyan's carriage slowly went east, and people came and went along the way, and some of the prosperous scenes of the past have been restored. This is a walk-and-go inspection, so the officials along the way don't know that every time Hou Xuan arrives, they come out to greet him.
Passing by Changzhou New Town along the way, from a distance, hundreds of men in coarse linen clothes are paving the road with bluestone floors.
Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "Yes, this is a good idea, Changzhou New Town is located between Jinling and Suzhou, as long as the road is repaired, it is bound to attract passing merchants to stop and rest." Hou Xuanyan, who was very interested, jumped out of the carriage and walked forward with a few personal soldiers.
After a fresh rain, the road was a little muddy and paved, adding a lot of inconvenience. A man at the head was surrounded by everyone, pointing and pointing, and Hou Xuanyan looked a little familiar from a distance.
When they got closer, someone found out that when they saw Hou Xuanyan's dress, they knew that he was a big official.
Everyone looked at them together, and the middle-aged man was happy in his eyes, and stepped forward and said, "Guogong, why are you here suddenly?" β
Only then did Hou Xuanyan see clearly that this man with muddy legs and sweat-soaked shirts turned out to be Gu Shouzheng.
"Haha, second uncle hasn't seen you for a long time."
Hou Xuanyan was a little moved, Gu Shouzheng is different from other officials, he is the second son of the Gu family in Suzhou, and the real money is the son of a rich family, and it is commendable to be able to do this. He may not have any eloquence, but being an official doesn't require much ability from you, and it's really easy to do good governance. As long as you are willing to throw yourself down and do more good deeds for the people, it is enough. Hong Chengchou is very capable, but in the position of the prefect of Changzhou, he may not be as good as Gu Shouzheng.
Gu Shouzheng put down the composition in his hand and said happily: "Guogong is here, isn't he here to visit the people of Changzhou?" We happen to have a few difficult problems here that need to be decided by the national government. β
Hou Xuanyan immediately waved his hand and said: "You are the parents of Changzhou, you should be in charge, just let go of your hands and feet." I passed by here this time in order to rectify the atmosphere in Jiangnan and strictly deal with the bullies and ruffians who are the party to the disaster. You should have received the documents of the imperial court, and Changzhou must also strictly enforce them. β
Hou Xuanyan didn't want to enter Changzhou New Town at all, no matter what the reason was at that time, Changzhou was ordered to be burned by him. Burning the homes of more than 100,000 people, it is always a little weak to see others again.
Gu Shouzheng was slightly disappointed, he was ready to ask Hou Xuanyan for many policy conditions, and it would definitely not work in this kind of wilderness. He is also jealous and hateful, and when he heard that the bullies who harm the local area should be dealt with strictly, he agreed with it from the bottom of his heart.
Hou Xuan, who was ashamed, made a few encouraging polite words, boarded the carriage and left.
------
When they arrived in Wuxi, the Hidden Elephant Battalion arrested a few corrupt officials and dismantled the protective umbrella of the local bullies. The rest will be left to the head-catchers and officials who are gearing up to do it. After staying overnight in Wuxi, I finally came to the shore of Taihu Lake, outside the city of Gusu.
Suzhou has a special significance for Hou Xuanyan, it is the place where he arose and the real nest.
Xia Yunyi took civil and military officials, gentry and celebrities, and waited under the city of Suzhou together.
Finally, Hou Xuanyan's carriage came, the curtain opened, and familiar faces appeared in front of the eagerly waiting crowd.
Everyone bent down and saluted together: "Governor." β
Strictly speaking, Hou Xuanyan is no longer the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but they are used to it, and there is no need to change their words.
After Hou Xuanyan got out of the car, he looked at Xia Yunyi, an old friend who once left a psychological shadow on Hou Xuanyan with a mouth in Taihu Lake, and the long-term town of Suzhou has been very different from the past. It looks much more capable, but the only thing that hasn't changed is that the mouth is broken....
There was no time to reminisce about the old greetings, Xia Yunyi opened his mouth and said: "Wen Yuan, after we received the will of Her Royal Highness the Empress in Suzhou, we have been rectifying it for four days. After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which was densely covered with fly-headed small letters, which made Hou Xuanyan dizzy. Xia Yunyi continued: "You see, these people are all habitual offenders of the traitor department, I have killed half of them, and the rest are still in prison. β
Hou Xuanyan gasped, the reader is ruthless, this is faster than going to Jinling.
Xia Yunyi asked, "How is it, is there anything wrong?" If so, I think there are still some imperfections in the provisional law."
Hou Xuanyan hurriedly said: "Yes, there is nothing wrong." β
"Well, let's talk about the temporary law."
Hou Xuanyan scratched his head, looked left and right, and found that everyone looked helpless.
Xia Yunyi walked towards the city with him, and kept saying in his mouth: "There are also some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who have also been found out by us and are ready to be taken to Jinling." The vacancies left by these people, I intended it this way. The military position was promoted by the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had made meritorious contributions, and civilian officials were still promoted according to the will of the people. I'm going to visit Wujiang in person..."
Hou Xuanyan looked at this posture, his ears didn't want to be clear for a moment, and listening to Xia Yunyi's words, he did even better than himself. Hou Xuanyan, who was already on the verge of collapse, hurriedly said: "What Lord Xia said is very true, I think it will be done like this, haha all the way, my stomach is empty, and I have been away from home for a long time, I will go back to the house first." β
After saying hello, he took his subordinates Hu Bawan and other personal soldiers, and galloped wildly...
Behind him, Xia Yunyi jumped to his feet and shouted: "Commander, state affairs are important, state affairs are important, why do you want to be at home." It wasn't until he saw that the figure was gone, that Xia Yunyi said angrily: "The commander is still the same, everything is good, but he is too impatient..."
When he turned his head, the staff gentry around him looked drowsy.
Xia Yunyi's face turned red and roared: "All cheer up, you see that you all have no fighting spirit, no wonder the commander refuses to stay longer." β
...
When they came to the door of the Hou Mansion, the disciples also knew that today was the day when Hou Xuanyan returned to the house, and the whole house was full of joy.
When Hou Xuanyan came to the door of the mansion, he saw his third uncle Hou Qizeng, smiling in front of the door. hurriedly dismounted and helped him and said, "Third uncle, I haven't gone to greet you yet, why did you come out in person, this is not in accordance with the etiquette, haha." β
Hou Qi once said with a smile: "Our family, no matter what kind of thing, my brother was more enlightened than me when I was a child, but now you are not as good as me." β
Hou Xuanyan smiled and helped him in, a family banquet had already been prepared in the inner courtyard, and the Hou family was not prosperous, especially after the massacre in Jiading, there were even fewer survivors.
Hou Xuanyan naturally became the center of the whole family, talking about some things about the Western Expedition while eating, the battle of Sichuan and Shu was mostly a human tragedy, and Hou Xuanyan didn't want to talk to them more.
After being full of wine and food, Hou Xuanyan took Gu Ling'er's hand and returned to his yard.
Two delicate maids were dressed in white silk robes, emerald green skirts, and their open breasts stretched out the proud figures of crisp white and snowy, waiting at the door.
Hou Xuanyan, who had been in Jinling for a long time, looked at Xiaoxiao, who raised her eyes trembling and was pitiful, and Ji'er, who was slanted with willow eyebrows and smart apricot eyes, suddenly let go of the Lori in her hand and said, "Ling'er, go and play with your sister Xia Shuji." β
Gu Ling'er kept taking small steps, clinging to his legs, and suddenly stopped when she heard this. As soon as the little mouth pouted slightly, he was about to cry.
Xiaoxiao flicked her knee skirt and smiled coquettishly: "Miss misses her uncle too." β
How could Hou Xuanyan be unprepared, and take out a yellow book from his arms like a trick... Booklet with yellowed book cover.
"Look, there's talking monkeys and pigs with nail rakes, and they're all going to fight goblins, do you want it?"
Gu Ling'er quickly forgot that she missed her uncle very much, her tearful eyes opened with a smile, and she jumped to her feet and said, "Give it to me, give it to me, I want it." β
Hou Xuanyan patted his little buttocks, which was not the size of a palm, and said, "Go find Sister Xia Shuji and let her tell you." β
The new little maid next to her, her face was red, she covered her mouth and giggled, she was glared at by Xiaoxiao, picked up Gu Ling'er and walked out of the yard.
Hou Xuanyan stepped forward domineeringly, and after two crisp sounds, he hugged the two stunners and laughed: "My son, prepare hot water, I want to subdue demons in the water." β
.....
How do you express this wind and moon?
The cross-necked mandarin ducks play in the water, and the head of the phoenix is interspersed with flowers.
