Chapter 566: Coming to Yangzhou Again
When Li Hongyu returned to the Welcome Hall, it was already dark at night, and there were many official documents that he had to deal with personally for most of the past six months, which made him have to stay in the Customs Department to deal with the accumulated official business. Tian Lai Xiao said. 2
Although Li Hongyu has delegated enough authority to ensure the affairs of the Customs Department and the Sailors, there are some things that must be decided by him personally and cannot be replaced by others.
Even if he was busy late at night, there were still many official documents waiting for Li Hongyu's approval, after all, it was impossible for him to draw conclusions about the contents of the official documents after reading them once, and he had to understand the background and situation of the things mentioned in the official documents, so that he could have a correct judgment.
However, now that Li Hongyu has returned, he has time to deal with these accumulated official documents, Li Hongyu has always paid attention to the efficiency of doing things, but now he has no choice but to deal with the accident of Xiaoliuqiu Island.
Fortunately, those official documents that need Li Hongyu's approval are usually not urgent matters, with Li Hongyu's decentralization, the officials of the Customs Department and the Yamen at all levels of the Navy Division have performed their duties, and they have been able to handle daily affairs, big and small, and they don't have to report everything, otherwise what use do they have?
If there is really an urgent matter to Li Hongyu, it means that the situation is already very serious, enough to alarm the imperial court.
Li Hongyu entered the courtyard where he lived, only to see that Youlan and Sakurako under the mountain had not rested, and were chatting and waiting for him in the living room, how could the two of them sleep if Li Hongyu didn't come back.
"Sir, how are things going?" Seeing Li Hongyu enter the door, Youlan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up with Sakurako under the mountain to greet him.
Youlan is naturally not afraid that Li Hongyu will have an accident in the Customs Department, she is worried that the Customs Department will encounter something tricky and need Li Hongyu to deal with, after all, Li Hongyu has been gone for more than half a year, and the Customs Department and the imperial court must have a lot of things to deal with him.
"The scholar is not in Shanghai, and went to the state capital in Jiangnan to inspect, but Du Siguan of the Customs Department is a kind person, and I hit him off at first sight, and before I knew it, the night was dark."
Li Hongyu knew that Youlan was worried about him, so he smiled and replied lightly, his words were naturally for Yamashita Sakurako, and now was not the time to tell Yamashita Sakurako his true identity.
Seeing Li Hongyu's relaxed expression, Youlan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that Li Hongyu didn't encounter any trouble, maybe he was entangled by the accumulation of official business.
Yamashita Sakura's eyes lit up when she saw this, and a sly smile flashed at the corner of her mouth, Youlan only cared about Li Hongyu's safety and forgot about the matter of Jilong Harbor.
You must know that the purpose of Youlan and Li Hongyu coming to Shanghai County this time is to talk to Li University about the matter of Jilong Port, Youlan not only cares about Li Hongyu, but also because of whether Li Hongyu has talked about Jilong Port with Du Wei, but Youlan did not continue to ask.
This is obviously unreasonable, there are only two possibilities in it, one is that Youlan forgot it for a while, and the other is that there is another hidden story in it.
Yamashita Sakurako didn't think that Youlan would forget such an important matter, judging from Youlan's relaxed look, she felt that Youlan didn't seem to pay much attention to the affairs of Chicken Coop Harbor, but Youlan was obviously very concerned about the future of Chicken Coop Harbor.
Unless...... Unless Sakurako Yamashita already knew in her heart that Scholar Li would accept the people of Chicken Coop Harbor, so she behaved so easily, and there seemed to be no other choice.
Li Hongyu keenly noticed the subtle changes in Yamashita Sakura's eyes, and suddenly shook his head with a wry smile in his heart, it seems that this little girl is really powerful, and she can grasp this unintentional flaw in Youlan and figure out a lot of things.
Li Hongyu didn't break this little bit of caution about Yamashita Sakurako, the reason is very simple, even if Yamashita Sakurako guessed that he had a close relationship with Scholar Li, it was nothing, and it wouldn't do him any harm at all, and Yamashita Sakurako wouldn't harm him.
Li Hongyu stayed in Shanghai County for five or six days, and after dealing with all the things accumulated by the Customs Department, he set off for Yangzhou under the guise of letting Yamashita Sakurako see the market.
Since the news released by the Customs Department was that Scholar Li was patrolling the micro-service in Jiangnan Prefecture, Li Hongyu could only wait for the right opportunity to visit "Scholar Li" and take this opportunity to go to Yangzhou to meet Ran Xingrang.
Li Hongyu knew that during his time in Jilong Port, Ran Xing made **** a lot of heart, not only to help him hide the disappearance, but also to take care of the affairs of the Customs Department, which was really laborious.
In addition, Li Hongyu went to Yangzhou this time for another purpose, that is, to meet Yang Li'er and Zi Ning and others, at this time Yang Li'er and Zi Ning and others were performing Huangmei Opera in Yangzhou.
After Li Hongyu was kidnapped by Liu Haiying, Yang Li'er discussed it with Zi Ning and others, and felt that Huangmei Opera was Li Hongyu's hard work, so they kept performing together according to the repertoire left by Li Hongyu, and as a result, it soon caused a sensation in Jiangnan and became a very popular drama master, and many dignitaries and nobles rushed to invite them to perform at home.
According to Yang Li'er's plan, she plans to go to Fujian to perform after finishing the performance in Yangzhou, on the one hand, to promote the drama, and on the other hand, to find the missing Li Hongyu.
Li Hongyu felt that the person he was most sorry for on his trip to Xiaoliuqiu was Yang Li'er, which made Yang Li'er worry about her all the time, so he must appease Yang Li'er this time.
Speaking of which, the reason why Zi Ning and the others were able to stay and perform together, instead of returning to the Qinglou to which they belonged to to make a joke, was precisely because of Yang Li'er's insistence.
Yang Li'er didn't want the drama that Li Hongyu had put a lot of effort into ruining it, so she persuaded the principals of Drunken Moon Pavilion, Chunfeng Xuan and Mingyue Tower to let Zi Ning and Du Juan and others continue to sing together.
This matter has been supported by Liu Hongmei, the director of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, firstly, Li Hongyu is kind to the Drunken Moon Pavilion, she must not be ungrateful, otherwise she will be ridiculed by the outside world, and secondly, she has more contact with Li Hongyu's dramas, so she is very optimistic about the prospects of the drama, and thinks that it will become the most popular entertainment method in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Liu Hongmei is in favor of Zining's singing, and Yang Li'er, Zining and others performed in Yangzhou at the Zuiyue Pavilion, which made the business of the Zuiyue Pavilion booming, and the other Qinglou was overshadowed by it and had no power to fight back, and then imitated it and wanted to send people to learn the opera.
Li Hongyu knows that Yang Li'er is not the kind of person who likes to be bound, although she likes drama, but more just to be fresh, it is really difficult for her to keep singing.
But Yang Li'er has insisted on singing for him for most of the past half a year and has become a pillar that Zining and Du Juan and others can rely on, which makes Li Hongyu very moved in his heart, and it is time to give Yang Li'er an explanation.
In order to avoid the incident of Li Hongyu being robbed again, Dewey and Bai Cheng sent people from the Customs Department to accompany them to protect him, and the person in charge of protection was a military attache from a large camp in the suburbs of Beijing who was transferred from the naval division, and he was loyal to Li Hongyu and did not have to worry about Li Hongyu's identity and whereabouts being revealed.
Li Hongyu didn't want Dewey and Bai Cheng to work like this, but he also knew that the two of them were worried about another accident, and from his security point of view, he really needed someone from the Customs Department by his side, and it would be much more useful for someone from the Customs Department to come forward when he encountered any trouble.
Speaking of which, because the Customs Department released the news that Li Hongyu went to the Jiangnan Prefecture for a "private visit to Weifu", this made the government of Jiangnan clear, and the officials of all sizes were worried for fear of hitting Li Hongyu's muzzle and being used by Li Hongyu to sacrifice the knife.
In addition to being in charge of the affairs of the Customs Department, Li Hongyu is also the "capital inspector" appointed by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so he naturally wants to punish a few corrupt officials to gain prestige.
Sure enough, during the more than half a year of his inspection, Scholar Li took down several county magistrates who were corrupt and perverted the law, and some even served a pot to the officials in the county government, which made the local people very happy and played a role in knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
In fact, what no one knows is that the person who investigated and punished corrupt officials outside was Ma Xianglin, the captain of the guard beside Li Hongyu, because Ma Xianglin was a guard next to Li Hongyu, so his appearance represented Li Hongyu's presence, and he took Li Hongyu's Shang Fang Ming Dragon Sword to deal with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
If someone who cares pays attention, it will be realized that Ma Xianglin dealt with officials such as the county magistrate, and did not implicate the officials, because Li Hongyu gave him the authorization to investigate the officials at the county government level, which can not only deter the officialdom but also not cause any trouble.
Du Wei had already sent someone to find Ma Xianglin and asked him to come back from other places to see Li Hongyu, first, to report to Li Hongyu about his situation in the past six months, and secondly, Li Hongyu also had something for him to do.
Yangzhou.
"Sir, this Yangzhou city is really full of flowers, I have never seen such a bustling place."
In the bustling crowd, the cherry blossoms under the mountain who were shopping on the street with great interest said to Li Hongyu, although she had long known that Yangzhou was the most prosperous and wealthy place in the Ming Dynasty, but now she was shocked by its prosperity and magnificence after seeing it with her own eyes.
The status of Yangzhou at that time was the same as that of Shanghai in later generations, it was the economic and cultural center of the country, and the locals generally had a sense of superiority over outsiders, and Yangzhou's status was heavier than that of Shanghai in later generations.
"The reason why Yangzhou is prosperous is mainly because of the canal, and its excavation connects the two golden waterways of the Great River and the Yellow River, so that the goods of many state capitals in Daming can flow and transmute."
Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, looked at the crowd on the street and said, "The flow of goods will bring about the operation of funds, and the operation of funds will naturally promote the prosperity of the economy. ”
"Sir, I'm taking Sister Sakura to buy some items for women, and you should visit your friends after you've been away for so long."
At this time, Youlan, who was following Li Hongyu's side, couldn't help but smile and said, her seemingly casual behavior actually gave Li Hongyu a chance to get out.
"In that case, I'll pay a visit to my friends here." Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, said hello to Youlan and Sakurako Yamashita and left.
Yamashita Sakurako flashed her beautiful big eyes and continued to walk around with Youlan with interest, she was not the kind of ignorant child, she naturally knew that Li Hongyu's move was to avoid her, so she didn't care about anything, after all, she was still an outsider, and there were some things that Li Hongyu naturally wanted to hide from her.
