Chen Di waited for nine days in front of the yamen of Zhejiang's political envoy, and Yan Ping, the political envoy, finally summoned him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Di entered the Yamen lobby and saw a dry middle-aged man sitting above the lobby. This should be the political envoy Yan Ping. Yan Ping's chin has two whiskers, and his eyes are dripping and rolling, and he looks like a slippery person.

Chairs were placed on both sides of the hall, and more than a dozen officials from the political envoy yamen sat on either side.

Yan Ping said: "Who is in the hall?" ”

Chen Di hurriedly replied: "Chen Di, the new governor of Taizhou, is Xiaguan." ”

Yan Ping sneered: "Hmph, I really don't know if the people in the Ministry are confused or what, they actually sent a child who didn't have any hair to be the prefect of Taizhou." ”

Chen Di knows that people like Yan Ping, the more you give him a good look, the less he treats you as a person. What's more, he is not without a background.

Not to be outdone, Chen Di replied: "Your Excellency the political envoy of Qiqi, the appointment of the lower official as the prefect of Taizhou was proposed by Zhai Shoufu and approved by the emperor. Do you mean that the emperor is confused or Zhai Shoufu is confused? ”

Yan Pingxin said, this young man has a good mouth. He lost his words first, and it was not easy to have a seizure. So he began to change the subject:

"Governor Chen, do you know that the new magistrate has received a note from the governor and will go to the political envoy's yamen within five days to sign a sign. If the sign is not hung up within five days, the governor will have to re-approve the sign. You're such a big shelf! It's been the ninth day before I went to the political envoy's yamen to find the official to sign a sign! ”

Chen Di said: "It's the hundred households guarding the door who said that Lord Yan, you are busy with business, and you don't have time to see the lower officials." The lower officials waited outside the yamen of the political envoy for nine days! ”

Yan Ping actually played Lai Pi in the court: "The magistrate asks to see this official, how can this official not see him?" Don't quibble! It must be that you have just arrived in Hangzhou and lingered in the beautiful scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, so you missed the day of the sign! ”

The political envoy Yan Ping wanted to give Chen Di a dismissal.

Chen Di thought to himself, if you want to give me a horse, I will give you a horse. If I don't let you know that I'm not easy to deceive, you'll inevitably have to trouble me in the future.

Chen Di said: "That's right, that's right, it's Xiaguan who lingers in the beautiful scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he missed the time by visiting near Hangzhou all day." ”

Yan Ping snorted coldly: "Hmph, you admit it yourself!" Now that the five-day time limit has passed, you should ask the governor to approve the slip again! After approving the strip, I will come to the political envoy to list the yamen! ”

Chen Di said: "Is it the rule of the Ministry of Officials or the rule of Zhejiang to be listed within five days?" ”

Yan Ping said: "Nature is the rule of Zhejiang!" ”

Chen Di said again: "Then dare to ask your lordship, is it the official department, or the Zhejiang political envoy Yamen?" ”

Yan Ping said angrily: "You are knowingly asking!" The Yamen of the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the officials of the world, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials is only in charge of the civil affairs of a province, so it is naturally the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials! ”

Chen Di smiled in his heart, Yan Ping, Yan Ping, you can be regarded as being surrounded by me.

Chen Di said: "In this case, the matter of the listing should be handled according to the rules of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials!" ”

Yan Ping asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Chen Di pointed to the official certificate in his hand: "The next official is the prefect of Taizhou, who has received the rank of squire of the military department!" According to the rules of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, all local officials with the rank of Servant or above, the political envoy Yamen must sign a sign at sight! ”

Yan Pingxin said, what an arrogant young man, he actually used the rank of squire in the military department to suppress me.

Yan Ping said: "Since the officials have this rule, the official has no choice but to follow it." Come on, go to the official signing room and sign a sign for Governor Chen's mansion! ”

A subordinate official of the Yamen took the order.

Chen Di saw that the matter had been done, and he turned around and was about to leave.

Yan Ping said: "Slow." ”

Chen Ping turned around and asked, "What else does the political envoy have to order?" ”

Yan Ping said: "Chen Di, do you know that the political envoy Yamen is in charge of the taxation and civil affairs of the entire Zhejiang!" You Taizhou Mansion is still responsible for the taxes and civil affairs of the Taizhou Government! If you are so rude in the lobby today, you are not afraid of the future。。。。。 ”

Chen Ping directly interrupted Yan Ping's words: "The political envoy wants to say that I am afraid that in the future, you will wear small shoes for the lower officials, right?" I'm sorry, I'm a good person, and I'm a down-to-earth official, so I don't believe that adults can catch my pigtails! Moreover, Xia Guan is also a person who has read poetry and books, so he naturally knows the allusion of self-denial and revenge. It's a pity that the lower officials are only polite to the polite, and the rude ones, don't blame the lower officials for being rude! ”

People in officialdom pay attention to what they say. Even if you have a big grudge against someone else, you can't say it directly. Chen Di's blatant confrontation with the political envoy Yan Ping surprised the officials on both sides of the lobby.

Even Yan Ping himself was shocked. Yan Ping thought to himself, he didn't expect this young man to be a hedgehog. If you want to fix him in the future, it's better to be cautious, and save being pricked by this hedgehog.

Yan Ping waved his hand: "The business is over, you can step down." ”

Chen Di returned to the post house, and Lu Yunfei was already waiting in the post house.

Chen Di saw Lu Yunfei coming, and knew that it was Ma Ruyun's batch of tea that had been completed.

Chen Di said to Lu Yunfei: "Brother Lu, are you here to inform me that the tea is ready?" ”

Lu Yunfei nodded and said, "That's right!" Ma Ruyun, this guy, raised 5,000 catties of fine tea from Taizhou, and it has been shipped! Your Excellency, just wait and count the money. ”

Chen Di asked: "There are two things I don't understand, and I want to ask Brother Lu." ”

Lu Yunfei said: "My lord, but it's okay to talk about it. ”

Chen Di asked: "I have been thinking about the first question for a long time. Since the imperial grain ships of your Cao gang can carry private goods into Beijing, why don't you sell some private goods yourself? Why are they all loaded with officials? ”

Lu Yunfei replied: "My lord, I have also asked my father many times about this matter. My father said that although the imperial grain ship has extra space for private goods, after all, the space is limited. Officials at all levels have an unwritten rule with the Cao Gang, that is, everyone does not trouble the Cao Gang, and let the Cao Gang have food rations to eat. The Cao Gang was also not allowed to occupy the remaining space of the Imperial Grain Ship. Those idle places should be left to the old men at all levels to load private goods. ”

Chen Di nodded: "The second question, this Taizhou has been in serious trouble in recent years, why was Boss Ma so sure that thousands of catties of tea could be transported out of Taizhou before?" ”

Lu Yunfei replied: "This is also very strange to me. In previous years, the transfer of goods had to bypass the boundary of Taizhou. This time, Lao Ma somehow, not only did not bypass Taizhou, but directly transferred goods from Taizhou. Old Ma, this man, has been mysterious recently. I have been friends with him for more than ten years, but he is not willing to give me a word. ”

Chen Di said: "He even hid it from you, Brother Lu?" ”

Lu Yunfei said: "Yes." But it's not hard to find out the truth. The old horse has a problem, that is, he likes to drink. He has the guts to drink, but he doesn't drink much. Two pots of champion red are poured in, and everything can be said. I don't think it's as good as an adult inviting him to drink at night, so I said it was to thank him for the credit. When the time comes, I will pour him wine, not afraid that he will not tell the truth. ”

Chen Di said: "Okay, it's decided." ”

At night, the Huibin Building in Hangzhou. Chen Di invited Ma Ruyun to the banquet, Lu Yunfei, the deputy gang leader of the Cao Gang, Tang Shunzhi, the director of the Ministry of War, Yu Dayou, the commander of Datong Wei, and Qi Jiguang, the commander of Dengzhou Wei.

Ma Ruyun is just a businessman even if he is rich. With so many high-grade officials toasting him, he naturally didn't dare not drink it.

Staggered, Chen Di and these people have drunk Ma Ruyun like mud.

Chen Di saw that the time was almost up, so he asked Ma Ruyun: "Boss Ma, how could you conclude that you could transfer thousands of golden tea leaves from Taizhou?" Aren't you afraid that the ground in Taizhou will be unquiet and let the Japanese rob the goods? ”

Ma Ruyun said with drunken eyes: "Ha, my Lord Chen, this, you don't understand this, right。。。。。 That Taizhou。。。。。。 Now it's almost a commercial port。。。。。。 These teas are just 。。。。。 Wako 。。。。。。 Bought 。。。。。。 ”

Buying tea with the Wakos? Isn't this a compendium? Chen Di and Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang were all surprised!
