The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

Drinking in the afternoon undoubtedly makes people a little tired and sleepy. Moreover, this kind of colleague picks up the wind and washes the dust and feasts at a superficial taste, and the meaning is enough, and it is impossible to communicate and talk in depth.

Towards the end, Zhang Kentang took Qin Haoming to the fourth floor of Yushan Restaurant to meet with the local gentry in Fuzhou.

There are eight tables in the box on the fourth floor, including officials who are not qualified to go to the fifth floor, large families who are officials in different places, and of course, very successful local businessmen.

With their arrival, everyone at each table stood up, respectfully holding their wine glasses one by one, and bent down deeply in front of Qin Haoming with a smile on their faces.

"This is Zhang Jianxin of the Zhang family, and his brother is the squire of the Jinling Rite Department, and the Zhang family is in Fuzhou and has always been enthusiastic. Paving roads and building bridges, poverty alleviation and weakness, is well-known in Fuzhou Prefecture. ”

"These are the right senator Lord Bai, the experience of Si Lu, the supervisor of the grain Dao Li Langzhong, and the governor of the Dao Quan, all of whom are the indispensable mainstays of Fuzhou Mansion."

"This is one of the maritime merchants in Fuzhou Prefecture, Yu Zhenghui, the head of the Yu family, who plays with Suzhou and Hangzhou, and plays with the treasures of the two capitals, and sells Ryukyu, North Korea, Zhenla, Champong, Srivijaya and other countries."

……

Along the way, these eight seats are all wealthy families in Fuzhou Prefecture. It can also be said that it is these people and the Fuzhou government who jointly control the stability of Fuzhou and belong to powerful figures.

"Come on, come on, all the kings and Bendu drink this cup together, and wish Daming prosperity."

Qin Haoming's face was sincere, he respected everyone from afar, and drank it all.

In any case, there are good and bad among these people, and it is impossible for him to kill them all at once, so he can only slowly communicate and understand them first, and then choose to divide and win over or suppress them.

After all, as long as there are people in hand, the initiative is always in your own hands.

"I wish Daming prosperity."

Everyone raised their glasses in response.

The Governor's Mansion on Jintai Road covers an area of more than 300 acres, with the Governor's Yamen in front and the living place in the back.

According to the custom of not repairing the yamen in the Ming Dynasty, the governor's yamen in front of the office has not been repaired since it was built, which looks a little dilapidated.

But the back house of more than 30 acres is repaired again and again, almost once by another person.

The mansion is full of rows of courtyards and gardens, various buildings, Jiangnan-style garden buildings, pavilions, ponds and rocks, all over the mansion.

Qin Haoming and his guards looked all the way over, dizzying and admiring.

"Governor Qin, where needs to be repaired, please just tell the villain?"

Yang Yuansheng, the ambassador of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau under the Political Envoy Department, was half-bent over, with a smiling face.

Don't look at him as an ambassador, it sounds majestic, but in fact, he is only from the ninth grade, and has not yet entered the stream. Take care of some carpenters and craftsmen to do some tinkering work.

Most of the Ming officials were served by scholars who had no hope of the imperial examination, and when they first entered the industry, they were working as officials to do some copying, writing, and running errands.

If you do a good job, you can be promoted to a secretary after three years without accident, and then slowly become a warden and an order.

But the wardens and officials are only civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, not officials, which means that they are not masters and do not belong to the bureaucratic class.

Yang Yuansheng is a very shrewd person, and he has already become a warden with the identity of a showman, and now he needs the support of nobles, or he can go to the next level.

"Stand up straight, and don't forget that you're also a reader."

Qin Haoming patted him on the shoulder and snorted, but did not answer his words, but pointed to a clearing adjacent to the Governor's Mansion and said:

"There, gather the skilled craftsmen of Fuzhou to build a batch of new houses for the governor.

Unified style, three compartments and two courtyards a day well, 300 sets in the early stage, completed before the end of the year, all the costs of the Governor's Palace, is there a problem? ”

Yang Yuansheng gave Qin Haoming a pat, and stood up straight, you are also a scholar, a warm current flowed in his chest, his nose was sore, and his eyes were a little blurry.

Yes, once upon a time, didn't you also have an impassioned book business to guide the country?

But the hardships of life are helpless, and the officialdom tends to be inflammatory, and gradually bends his waist, so that he has long forgotten that he is a scholar.

Officialdom, in fact, the bigger the official does, the less he cares about these false courtesies, and he seems to be humble and approachable. On the contrary, those small officials and officials are afraid of being despised by others, so they deliberately carry it and cannot live forever.

His waist is straight, his heart is happy, and his work is still the same, but his mood is very different from different people. Speaking of professionalism, he estimated for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"Qi Qi Qin Governor, if it is to be completed by the end of the year, it is almost impossible to rely on the craftsmen of the Miscellaneous Bureau itself.

But if you recruit Fuzhou craftsmen, supplemented by a large number of handymen, the villain can guarantee it. ”

"Good! If Ambassador Yang can complete the construction on time on the premise of ensuring quality, and let the Governor move in before the year, there will be two and three phases in the future.

In addition, the Governor decided to set up a craftsman bureau, which was paid 20 taels of silver per month, and was responsible for all the affairs of the Governor's Palace, large and small, and hoped that Ambassador Yang would work hard. ”

Although it was the first day to set foot on the land of Fuzhou, Qin Haoming had already planned a package in his heart, and he was waiting to break ground everywhere to start construction.

"Thanks to Governor Qin for his grace, the villain will die with all his might."

Yang Yuansheng's tone was condensed, and he saluted ninety degrees.

With a word from Governor Qin, he was promoted two levels in a row, and the most important thing was that he was paid twenty taels of silver per month, which was four times as much as he was now.

This move solves his worries and allows him to concentrate on affairs without having to think about it.

"Seize the time to prepare, start construction as soon as possible, and pay attention to supporting construction."

Qin Haoming smiled and said casually.

The urban construction of the Ming Dynasty has been very mature and perfect, which can be known from the fact that some public facilities are still in use after hundreds of years in later generations, so there is no need to worry.

"The villain retires!"

Seeing that Qin Du had no other explanation, Yang Yuansheng turned around and left.

"Haozi, let's not be busy arming the defense first, let the brothers gather."

Qin Haoming was in high spirits and shouted towards the busy figure in the distance.

"Those over thirty years old are out of the queue and re-queued."

In the garden square of the Governor's Palace, with the scorching sun on his head, the three hundred guards sweating and wearing armor quickly assembled in place. Sweat drops slid down his cheeks, but no one wiped them for half a minute.

Staring at the familiar faces, Qin Haoming's heart swept through a burst of warmth and pride.

They are the elite of the Tianxiong army, veterans of the rest of the battle, selected from more than 10,000 people, just to protect his safety.

It is no exaggeration to say that one of them may not be ten per person, but it is more than enough to deal with three or five people.

They accompanied each other all the way, followed their own food, sleep, and wandered for thousands of miles, but they still had no regrets.

It is thanks to their escort that he can rampage fearlessly, and only then can he have today's status and situation.

"Count!"

As some of the three hundred people walked out and reformed into a queue, Qin Haoming shouted loudly.

"One, two, three、...... Eighty-two. ”

"You quit the guard battalion and join other units, and those over thirty years old will do the same."

Qin Haoming stood in front of them and said.

"Governor Qin, I don't want to leave the guard camp, please Governor Qin."

A sturdy and tall guard stepped out of the queue, with several scars on the right side of his face, a few less Sven, but more and more strong.

Li Xiang, don't delay it any longer, that's really delaying yourself. There is no feast in the world, thank you!

With your military merits, you can already serve as a thousand households, deputy generals, and even garrisons. Leave, go to another army, and bring an elite to the Governor. ”

Qin Haoming walked up to him, a little sad.

Chongzhen began to be a soldier in the first year to eat food, a full 12-year veteran, and still nested in his own guard camp as a hundred households, how can people be embarrassed?

"That's it, it's an order."

Seeing that he was still about to speak, Qin Haoming's face darkened, and he couldn't help but give an order directly.

"Brothers, when we come to Fuzhou, we will not leave. Now the Governor commands that all your families be taken over.

Brothers over the age of 25 who are still married must marry by May next year. If you like the woman, say it in advance, otherwise the governor will have to make unified arrangements. ”

Qin Haoming walked around the neat line and said with a smile.

"Governor Qin, don't worry."

Someone in the team was embarrassed to make a noise.

", you're. Could it be that Ben Tu's wife is beautiful in his arms, but he makes his brothers fight for a lifetime?

Also, change the name immediately, will it be difficult to lead troops in the future to be called General Dog Mao? ”

Hahaha......

The other guards burst into laughter, and the neat line rippled.

"Disbanded, Haozi stays."

The two of them will discuss some specific issues related to the placement of personal guards.

Speaking of which, although Qin Haoming's personal guards are all northerners, they are not all from the same province. Therefore, this is to ask them to go home in person and bring people to Fuzhou.

Sadly, many of the guards' family members have dispersed or died. Less than half of those who really know the whereabouts of their family members.

And Haozi is one of them.
