Chapter 214: Plan first
From Hezhou to Fengjie, you can take the waterway, enter the Yangtze River along the Fushui, go down the river, you can see the archway of the White Emperor City in less than three days, the boat is smooth, there is no suffering from bumps, so Chen Qiyu dares to hold the remnants of the body out of the mountain.
Before leaving, he personally replied to Wang Huan with a letter, briefly explaining that he was willing to go to Kuizhou to help Wang Huan resist the Nanming forces from the east, as long as he Chen Qiyu was alive, no one could enter Kuizhou Mansion. Evenly, he also reminded a few words, now Zhang Xianzhong and the Qing army are wrestling in Hanzhong, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whether Zhang Xianzhong wins or loses, Sichuan he has lost it, and persuaded Wang Huan to seize the opportunity of the emptiness in Shuzhong, how much territory can be occupied, and how much territory can be occupied, but he can't be soft.
Chen Qiyu is also a generation of famous ministers, his strategic vision is very old-fashioned, and he has seen through the essence of the Great Western Army's foreign strength and middle cadres, a regime without popular support will never last long, at best, it is a group of thieves with a little more people, this kind of big scene of competing for the world can only be a stepping stone for others. However, Rao is he has a lot of experience, and he also underestimated Wang Huan's heart, Wang Huan not only wants to occupy Dianzhou County, but wants to take the whole of Sichuan into his pocket, and he wants to follow the example of Zhuge Wuhou and divide Shu with the intention of the world.
Chen Kun also followed him to Fengjie, and as for the affairs of Hezhou Prefecture, there were officials from Shizhu to fill the vacancy.
As soon as he arrived at Fengjie, Xu Tiezhu had already gotten the news, and he was looking forward to it on the dock, and when Chen Qiyu got off the boat, as soon as he stepped off the gangplank, Xu Tiezhu greeted him diligently and stepped forward to support him with the gift of his juniors.
Different from Wang Huan, Xu Tiezhu, who was born in poverty, did not have the insight and vision of the traverser, in Xu Tiezhu's eyes, the former governor of the five provinces was a great figure, a nobleman, and Chen Qiyu was famous, when the story of Li Zicheng was full of teeth in various tea shops and restaurants in Yangzhou, Xu Tiezhu had heard it before, and his eyes were full of admiration and reverence.
Seeing this Kuizhou prefect who was a little younger than Wang Huan, Chen Qiyu's eyes straightened, what is the situation? Why are the officials of Kuizhou younger than the other, and will there be a foothold for old people like themselves in the future? Wang Huan is already demonic enough, is this Kuizhou prefect also an ordinary young man?
Fortunately, as soon as Xu Tiezhu said a few words, Chen Qiyu heard that this young prefect was not as omnipotent as Wang Huan, and he could roughly know from the conversation that Xu Tiezhu was the same as his name, full of folk and local flavor, although he was decisive and orderly, but he did not have the sour smell of Shilin scholars, mellow and not pretentious, and not losing his intelligence, his eyebrows were very clever, not as amazing as Wang Huan's, but he was also a young man.
In addition, Xu Tiezhu did not regard himself as a prefect as soon as he came up, and was willing to be Chen Qiyu's crutch to help him get off the boat, which immediately won Chen Qiyu's favor.
"There is the prefect of Lao Xu, Chen is guilty, how dare he let the prefect help him, please let the adult let go." Chen Qiyu said with a smile.
Xu Tiezhu didn't let go, and kept helping him to a big sedan chair with four sedan chair drivers, and said sincerely: "Lord Chen must not say so, he can lead the horse and support the reins for Lord Chen in his later life, which is the blessing of his previous life, if it is not for a coincidence, where can he have the opportunity to meet the adult in his later life, come, please get on the sedan chair, and we will go back and talk about it." ”
Chen Qiyu sat on the sedan chair with a smile, this sedan chair is extremely large, there are all kinds of soft couch carbon stoves in it, and there is even a small bookcase, which contains some of Chen Qiyu's favorite ancient books, such a considerate and luxurious enjoyment, Chen Qiyu has not felt it for a long time.
The sedan chair drivers carried the sedan chair steadily and powerfully, Chen Qiyu sat very comfortably in it, and comfortably, he opened the sedan curtain casually, intending to take a look at the scenery outside, and see how Kuizhou was under the rule of this young man who did not have hair on his lips.
Xu Tiezhu actually did not ride a horse or take a sedan chair, followed by the sedan chair, for Chen Qiyu to help the sedan chair, from the dock to the county seat, the road is not short, he is the prefect actually put down the shelf for Chen Qiyu all the way to the county seat.
Xu Tiezhu may not feel anything, he is young but used to living a hard life, and it feels natural to hold a sedan chair for the idol in his heart, but in Chen Qiyu's eyes, it is very different.
"It's rare to be young and ambitious but not frivolous; Respecting the elders and understanding etiquette is even more rare, and the children can be taught. At this moment, Chen Qiyu made a judgment to Xu Tiezhu, and unconsciously compared Xu Tiezhu with Wang Huan, and silently weighed it in his heart, and felt that Xu Tiezhu was more in line with his taste than Wang Huan.
He didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Tiezhu's sweaty appearance, put down the sedan curtain, and didn't say a word.
The sedan chair entered Fengjie City all the way, and the soldiers who opened the road shouted loudly, lined up the bustling crowd on the lively street, and squeezed out a way very laboriously to enter the prefect's yamen in the center of the city.
After getting off the sedan chair and entering the back office, Xu Tiezhu had already packed out a set of small courtyards, blue bricks and tiles, rockery pavilions, simple and elegant, very Jiangnan style, but Chen Qiyu had no intention of appreciating it, and went directly into the house and sat on the circle chair tiredly, and there was a soft cushion under the circle chair, which made him feel comfortable.
After three days of tiring boats, although the smooth wind and water also made the old man a little unbearable, Xu Tiezhu was very knowledgeable and did not bother much, handed over the servants in the courtyard to Chen Kun, who accompanied him, and confessed to Chen Qiyu and retreated.
As soon as he left, Chen Qiyu's originally lazy and soft eyelids opened suddenly, his eyes were shining, and he motioned for Chen Kun to drive away the servants and close the door.
"This Governor Xu, do you know his origin?" Chen Qiyu asked Chen Kundao.
Chen Kun and Meng Zhiyu are both Daming scholars, Meng Zhiyu is a lifter, Chen Kun has also been a Jinshi, the two have similar tempers, they are very familiar, from Meng Zhiyu's mouth, Chen Kun also learned some of the details of the people around Wang Huan, as Wang Huan's brother Xu Tiezhu, of course, Chen Kun also knew something, and immediately said it.
Chen Qiyu listened carefully and couldn't help nodding, Chen Kun said, he touched his long beard thoughtfully, and said to himself: "I see, my parents don't exist, I was born poor, I can endure what ordinary people can't bear, and I can study hard to achieve this point at a young age, which is very good." And there is a deep hatred with the Tartars, and there is no bitter enmity with the court, if you teach it well, maybe you can be a talent in the court. ”
Chen Kun listened to his words, and couldn't help but echo: "My lord, the prefect Xu can go from a small homeless person, to a small official in just one year, from a deserted village in the township to a county town government, good at managing the people's feelings and proficient in civil affairs, and now in less than two decades, it is a prefect with jurisdiction over nearly 100,000 people in the territory, which is indeed worthy of praise." ”
Chen Qiyu smiled: "For the government of the government, you can rule by doing nothing, the key is to see who is behind him." Xu Tiezhu's governance strategy, Wang Huan has already prepared it for him, he just needs to draw a gourd in the same way, and the Kuizhou army is invincible in a hundred battles, as long as he does not stir up a civil uprising, it is not much difficult to be the prefect, with Wang Huan, the god, Xu Tiezhu's prefect is very simple. ”
"But having said that, it's not easy for him to be able to hold one side." Chen Qiyu touched his beard and squinted his eyes and said slowly: "There are thousands of things in civil affairs, it is a test of people's patience, I think, Xu Tiezhu is like a good blank paper, if someone is good at traction, he will definitely go to the next level in the future, maybe no worse than the old man." ”
Chen Kun was a little stunned, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, he has been an official for many years, although he has been in Zhizhou and does not want to be promoted because he wants to protect Chen Qiyu's relationship, but his conceit is very high, and he does not dare to say that he can match Chen Qiyu in the future, how can Xu Tiezhu be worthy of this sentence?
Chen Qiyu keenly noticed that Chen Kun's expression was different, glared at him, and said unhappily: "What? Are you not convinced? ”
Chen Kun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Where, the kid doesn't dare." ”
Chen Qiyu ignored him and snorted: "I intend to accept Xu Tiezhu as a disciple and teach him his lifelong accumulation, you can also listen to it, how much you can learn, and what you will achieve in the future depends on whether you work hard." ”
When Chen Kun heard this, he was surprised and delighted, happy that Chen Qiyu was a legend in his life, he could govern the country and be able to Anbang, but when he was in Hezhou, his heart was like ashes, and he closed the door all day and waited for death. What was surprising was that Chen Qiyu even had the heart to accept Xu Tiezhu as an entry, Xu Tiezhu is smart, but there are many smart people in the world, and I didn't see Chen Qiyu accept half of the students.
His thoughts were written on his face through his expression, although he did not say it, but it made Chen Qiyu unobstructed.
Chen Qiyu sighed slightly, leaned back on the chair, and after a long time, he said softly: "Wang Huan is very assertive, his will is as strong as a rock, I can't shake a bit, but look at his words and deeds, not like the things in the pool, at a young age, he sat down in the land of stone pillars and projectiles, this son will be limitless in the future, if he is loyal to the monarch and the country, it is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, if he has two hearts and two ambitions, then the Ming may die in his hands." ”
Chen Kun was extremely shocked when he heard this, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Then, that prefect Xu and Wang Huan are brothers who have passed their lives, that is, even so, why should the adults teach him?" ”
Chen Qiyu closed his eyes, shook his head and said: "You only know one thing, you don't know the other, I say this, it is just in time for Xu Tiezhu to do things in front of him when Xu Tiezhu is still a blank sheet of paper......
