Although there was a civil uprising in Jiaxing Mansion in the north of Hangzhou, life in Hangzhou has not been affected much. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the situation in previous years, if there is any natural or man-made disaster in the surrounding prefectures and counties of Hangzhou, many people will run to Hangzhou with their families.

After all, Hangzhou City is the best district in Zhejiang, and there are many high and deep yamen, which can give people a sense of security more than other places.

But after Fan Jingwen's arrival, Hangzhou City has been very different from the past, although the New Year is approaching, the market is still prosperous, but it gives Wen Tiren, who is quite familiar with Hangzhou, a feeling that something is quite wrong.

Sitting on a four-wheeled carriage driven by two horses, Wen Tiren looked at the market that had not been closed to clear the road, wondering if it was wrong.

He already knew about the situation of the four-wheeled carriage as early as when he was in Jingshi, so when Fan Jingwen and the others invited him into the only luxury four-wheeled carriage, he was not surprised at all.

And he also knew that this four-wheeled carriage was the business of Tian Hongyu's family, one of the current national zhangs, in Jiangnan, and this one was given to Fan Jingwen by Tian Hongyu in order to open up sales channels in Hangzhou, an important commercial town in Jiangnan.

Of course, Wen Tiren knows that he is not wrong, as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and also as a native of Wucheng County, Huzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang, he also has his own eyeliner in the Zhejiang governor's yamen, although he can't say that he can master Fan Jingwen's every move, but the major events that happened in the Zhejiang governor's yamen can't hide from him, which is also his duty as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

In October, the four-wheeled carriage was put into use in Jingshi, and in early December, it was brought to Jiangnan by Tian Hongyu's eldest son, Tian Dunji.

Although Tian Hongyu's family is from Shaanxi, they can already be regarded as Yangzhou people since his grandfather's generation came to Yangzhou to do business and settle down.

Although Tian Hongyu asked for the exclusive right to operate the four-wheeled carriage from the emperor through the way of Concubine Tian, he knew that the monopoly was not conducive to continuing to bring forth the new, so he did not give him all the monopoly rights, but only granted him the monopoly right to operate in Jiangnan, and for each car produced, whether it was sold or not, he had to give the royal royalty of ten silver dollars.

Tian Hongyu didn't know what the new word patent fee meant, but no matter how the current emperor asked him for money, he didn't dare not give it.

Moreover, Tian Hongyu is a businessman, although he is greedy, but he still has a business vision, he is a relative of the emperor and does not pay taxes to the local government, although he does not have a title, but after all, he has the official body of the Jinyi guard to command the affairs, and the local officials do not dare to care about him, so doing business has always been a million profits, and he doesn't care about the ten silver dollars that each carriage gives to the royal family.

This time, after Tian Hongyu got the exclusive right to operate the four-wheeled carriage in Jiangnan, he sent his eldest son Tian Dunji to return to his hometown in Yangzhou with a few craftsmen dug from the Ministry of Industry, opened the Jiangnan carriage shop, recruited manpower, and started manufacturing.

In fact, once the front wheel steering of the carriage and the window paper of the four-wheel shock absorption are pierced, the manufacture of the four-wheeled carriage has no technical content at all.

Therefore, at the beginning of December, Tian Dunji, one of Emperor Chongzhen's brothers-in-law, produced the first four-wheeled carriage in Jiangnan.

He also found a coachman, rode this carriage, all the way from Yangzhou to Nanjing, and used his identity to meet the Nanjing town guard eunuch Wang Zhixin, and when he left, he also gave the carriage to Wang Zhixin.

When Tian Dunji returned to Yangzhou, the Jiangnan Carriage Company produced several four-wheeled carriages, and he personally sent one of them to Hangzhou and gave it to Fan Jingwen, the governor of Zhejiang.

Of course, Fan Jingwen knew what the emperor's eldest brother meant, in the final analysis, he was just helping to make a sample, and through this way, he was just recommending it to the wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou, so Fan Jingwen did not refuse.

When it came time to greet Wen Tiren, it finally came in handy.

Wen Tiren is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, let him ride a horse, after all, he is a civil official, let him sit in a sedan chair, he is in charge of the military affairs of the two provinces, and the current emperor advocates military attachés to ride horses, and it is not convenient to sit in a sedan chair even with civilian officials who supervise military affairs and lead troops in public.

At this time, it shows that the four-wheeled carriage is good, with both the speed similar to that of a horse and the comfort of a sedan chair.

Wen Tiren sat in the carriage prepared for him by Fan Jingwen, traveled half the way, and finally realized where the changes in Hangzhou City were.

That is, the whole market is still bustling as it approaches the end of the year, but it is less crowded with people than before, especially those street scoundrels who beg, perform, juggle and even hang out along the streets.

After realizing this, Wen Tiren purposefully watched along the street, the streets and alleys, especially the corners and alleys, were indeed no longer the people who looked like homeless or beggars in the past, and the streets and alleys were much cleaner and tidy.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly in the carriage, but what he thought in his heart was what Fan Jingwen did in the legend in Zhejiang, especially in Hangzhou, and secretly admired Fan Jingwen's vigorous and resolute behavior, thinking, simple and rude, it really works.

When they arrived at the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen, Fan Jingwen, Cai Maode and other Zhejiang officials welcomed Wen Tiren and his entourage into the second hall behind the Yamen.

Zhang Cunren, the new Zhejiang commander-in-chief, led his subordinates and led Zheng Zhihu and other Fujian generals to settle down and rest in the camp in the original Zhejiang soldier city that had been cleaned up.

A group of officials in Zhejiang accompanied Wen Tiren and his subordinate officials to have lunch in the governor's yamen, and Wen Tiren immediately sent someone to send a message to Zheng Zhihu, and discussed the matter of quelling the chaos and suppressing thieves in the second hall of the Zhejiang governor's yamen.

Fan Jingwen said first: "As the governor of Zhejiang, Xia Guan has an unshirkable responsibility for the occurrence of civil unrest in Zhejiang.

"As for how to exterminate the thieves, since the Lord of the Labor Army has come to Hangzhou in person, I also ask the Lord of the Army to give one or two instructions!"

Fan Jingwen was forty-two years old at this time, fourteen years younger than Wen Tiren, and among the more than 30 governors of the Ming Dynasty that year, he was also a relatively young and promising one.

Seeing that Fan Jingwen had taken responsibility for the civil unrest in Zhejiang, Wen Tiren nodded with a smile, and then said, "Brother Mengzhang Xian, where are you talking about!" In the final analysis, the civil unrest in Zhejiang was caused by natural disasters last year and this year. Younger brother Xian has been in office in Zhejiang for less than a year, where do you need to bear this responsibility, the Holy Lord is above now, and he will not blame you for this crime!

"Today, Wen led the army from Fuzhou to come here, not because you are not at ease with the virtuous brother, but because the foolish brother can't let go of Wu Cheng's father! Speaking of which, the foolish brother is a little uncomplacent! Brother Xian is too worried! ”

After saying this, Wen Tiren saw that the officials present were all looking at him, and then said: "Your Majesty entrusted the two provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang to Wen, and Wen heard about the civil unrest in western Zhejiang, and it was really difficult to sleep and eat!" Today, we do not pursue responsibility or accountability, but just discuss matters and discuss as soon as possible a charter to eradicate the thieves. ”

Hearing this, Fan Jingwen nodded and said, "What Lord Jun said makes sense. Xia Guan first talked about the situation in western Zhejiang. ”

Next, Fan Jingwen besieged the Huzhou capital with Tu Achou's gang with the chaotic people, and then turned to continue westward, entering the hidden situation of Niutou Mountain, and told the Wenwu from nearby.

Wen Tiren listened, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, the situation is not bad now." Huzhou Governor Zhao Jianji, this person is really useful. Wucheng County Deputy Gong Ling Xuanfang is known as a literary name, this time it seems that he is even more brave and resourceful, and the virtuous brother can be the prefect of Wenhu Prefecture, and report the merits of Ling Xuanfang's deeds to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to reward and appoint him. ”

Of course, Wen Tiren had heard of Zhao Jianji and Ling Xuanfang, because one was the prefect of his hometown, and the other was his fellow villager, although he was nearly ten years younger than him, Ling Mengchu's name had long been heard.

I only knew that Ling Mengchu was quite famous in Huzhou, but I didn't expect that he was still a figure with a lot of strategy and talent.

Seeing that Wen Tiren was full of praise for Zhao Jianji, the prefect of Huzhou, and Ling Xuanfang, the leader of the Huzhou Township Army, Fan Jingwen knew that he was happy to learn that the Huzhou Mansion City had not been affected by the military disaster, so he hurriedly said: "The old house of the relatives in Wucheng County is safe and sound, you can rest assured!" ”

After hearing this, Wen Tiren nodded, and did not say anything more about it, but said: "What good strategies do you have for exterminating the thief rebellion?" ”

Fan Jingwen and Cai Maode, the new Zhejiang envoy, glanced at each other, and then said: "Before the army lord came to Hangzhou, we agreed on a strategy, which was waiting to be reported to the governor Yamen. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Jingwen looked at Cai Maode, who was sitting on one side, and then said: "According to the inspection, Lord Cai has a strategy, and Xia Guan and Zhang Zongbing feel that it is safe and feasible. Let's let Cai Zhensi speak for the army! ”

Hearing Fan Jingwen say this, Wen Tiren looked at Cai Maode, who was sitting on one side.

At this time, Cai Maode got up from his seat, bowed down and said: "Zhejiang according to the inspector Cai Maode has seen the master of the army!" ”

Seeing this, Wen Tiren said, "Master Cai sit down and talk!" ”

Cai Maode bowed again, then sat down and said: "As a criminal envoy in Zhejiang, it is the duty of the lower official to catch thieves and thieves. In the opinion of the following officials, it is not difficult for us to calm down and finally exterminate this group of thieves. ”
