Chapter 772: Back to Jiangnan

After the Double Ninth Festival, Zhang You set off again to the south of the Yangtze River, and he also served as the first maritime governor, so it was impossible to stay in Beijing all the time.

In addition to Li Yan, there was also Shen Wan'er who accompanied him out of Beijing, Li Yan naturally wanted to protect Zhang You's safety with the travelers, and he couldn't leave for a while, as for Shen Wan'er, it was Zhang Jialin and Lan Qi who asked Zhang You to bring it.

After all, the newlywed Yan'er, Zhang You doesn't know how long he has been gone, and the family can't do without them, with Li Yan and Shen Wan'er following Zhang You, the chance of recruiting sisters at home is always smaller.

Of course, this is the careful thinking of the two people, except for what they have revealed privately with Li Yan and Shen Wan'er, it is absolutely impossible to tell Zhang You to know.

Tang Erzhuang and the others have been completely out, and this time they did not follow Zhang You out of Beijing, but were all asked by the military department to go over and sent to various capital divisions to be responsible for armament training work. As for Chen Shi and them, after all, the time they have been with Zhang You is still short, and they can't be released to take on important tasks for the time being, so they naturally have to follow them and act as Zhang You's personal soldiers.

In addition to these people, there is also a team of special personnel also followed Zhang You and his party to the south of the Yangtze River, they are the latest establishment of the imperial court under the jurisdiction of the construction team under the jurisdiction of the communications office, the communications office is a brand new department, is in Zhu Yijun and the cabinet auxiliary ministers of the six departments and departments witnessed the convenience of the telegraph came into being, is the third product of the Yamen, the first head of the deputy director of the Gewu Institute Guo Zaoqing concurrently, which also made Guo Zaoqing's grade rise two levels, a leap from the fourth product to the third grade of the imperial court officials.

And based on his energy in the future, he will definitely not be able to pounce on the Gewu Institute as before, and there is another deputy director of the Gewu Institute, which is served by Xu Guangqi.

In addition, there is another point that has to be emphasized, because the residence of the Maritime Governor's Mansion was selected in Chongming County (I can't remember what was written at the beginning, and I am too lazy to turn back, just follow Chongming), after Zhu Yijun's proposal, the auxiliary ministers and Jiuqing and other senior officials carefully considered it, and agreed that Chongming would change the county to the government, and divide the nine counties of Songjiang and Hangzhou and other prefectures under its control.

As for the naval division base, there are still many critics, but after the Tumut Wanhu Hulitai Conference held in Hohhot, we have seen the role played by a strong military, and the number of people who support the country's military reform has increased, and the two sides can almost reach a draw.

Of course, Chen Jingbang and Li Zhi took improper measures during the whole process of their envoy to Tatar, and not only did they not get half of the political capital, but they were also heavily reprimanded by Zhu Yijun, and they were each demoted two levels to retain.

The telegraph line erection facilities were laid in sections, so by the time they arrived in Hangzhou, less than one-tenth of the number of people had been left, and these people would start from Songjiang and lay in the direction of the capital, which was expected to be completed within half a year.

Zhang You went to Hangzhou again, the prefect Wang Shizhen held a high-level welcome dinner for him, Su Song Governor Wei Yunzhen, the new Songjiang prefect Xu Wei, Zhejiang political envoy and others were all present, and the leading figures in the businessmen of various prefectures, in order to welcome him after Xu Jie's "Jiangnan master", he also did his best to do his best, not only invited a lot of popular girls, but even the shallow girls who were far away in Jinling were invited in advance.

In addition to Xing Shangzhi, the Nanjing garrison eunuch from Jinling, Wang Chengxun, the Nanjing garrison, and a number of high-ranking officials and wealthy people, the whole banquet opened dozens of tables, and it was lively on the bank of the West Lake for a whole day.

Zhang You didn't go back to his residence, he lived in Qi Jiguang's general army mansion nearby, and although it was close to Hai after sending everyone away, he still didn't have a trace of sleepiness, and dragged Xing Shangzhi, Qi Jiguang, Wang Shizhen, Xu Wei and Zhang Yunxiu to the shore of the West Lake for a walk and dinner.

They are all Zhang You's most trustworthy people, and there is no need to scruple when he speaks, and not long after leaving, Xu Wei said first: "Zicheng, I haven't thanked you yet, the old man is seventy, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have put on the scarlet robe this day." ”

"Wen Chang is too modest, according to your talent, it is more than enough to be in the center." Wang Shizhen said with a smile.

Xu Wei also smiled: "Fengzhou Gong laughed at me, if I can enter the center, you have to be the head of the cabinet." ”

"Okay, you two, seriously, the reason why you can have the opportunity to show your strengths today is not to thank me, but to thank Your Majesty today, Your Majesty has worked hard to govern and employ people in an eclectic manner, especially Mr. Xu, to put it mildly, if you change someone else to be the emperor, you will not let Bai Ding directly take on the important task of the prefect of Songjiang. Therefore, as courtiers, we must know how to repay our kindness, and do our best to fulfill Your Majesty's wisdom for all generations, and at the same time, we will also leave a strong mark on ourselves in history, so that this life will not be in vain. ”

The higher Zhang You's official position, the greater his merits, and the heavier his momentum, when these words came out, everyone nodded in agreement, ignoring his age.

Of course, these words are also Zhang You's heartfelt words, if he was still a little wary of Zhu Yijun in the past, after so many things, especially after having a relationship with Li Caifeng, he was actually unwary of him.

He has never had the ambition to be an emperor, and all he has always wanted is to try to avoid the decline of the Ming Dynasty, the last Han dynasty in China, and to avoid the recurrence of the humiliating history that has lasted for hundreds of years in the future.

is the only way to make his guilt lighter - the old lady who slept with Zhu Yijun has to give someone an explanation, right?

Everyone is under the influence of Zhang You to have today's status, although Zhang You agrees with Zhang You's words, but also knows in his heart, secretly grateful for the favor of fate, to meet Zhang You in this life, is definitely the greatest luck in everyone's life.

Everyone spoke freely, gathered around Zhang You in the night, and talked freely about their ideas for the future, the direction of governance, and the future development prospects......

At a certain moment, Zhang You suddenly found that Zhang Yunxiu, who was quite lively, was surprisingly silent, and he became a little strange, walked for a while, and said when Xu Wei felt that he was tired of walking a little bit when he was older: "It's really not early, you guys go back and rest early, I have something to say with Yun Xiu, and I'll be back later." ”

Everyone is a human spirit, knowing that the two brothers want to say private words, naturally they will not be annoying, and told the two to pay attention to safety and retired after returning earlier, and soon, only the two brothers were left in the same place.

Without leaving the traveler and Chen Shi and the others to guard from afar, Zhang You watched everyone's backs disappear into the night, and then said, "Say, what's wrong?" Your reaction today is too special, this is not your Zhang Yunxiu style. ”
