Chapter 721: He's the Emperor

Chen Ming has watched a lot of TV series about the emperor's private interview in his last life, he had "Joking about Qianlong" when he was a child, and after a few years, a really influential TV series began to seize the prime time of many TV stations, and then even the night in the small county where he was located, three episodes began to be simulcast. That is "Long Live Today's Private Interview with Weifu"!

Although it got worse and worse later, it was still very attractive in the early nineties.

Many TV stations across the country, large and small, broadcast overwhelmingly, and broadcast over and over again. It can be said that it occupies the screen!

Inside, Uncle Zhang took his little wife, eunuchs, maids, and monks to jump around, playing in the mountains and rivers, and was idle. Chen Ming, who was still young at the time, came up with a 'truth' in his mind - Kangxi and Qianlong didn't do anything serious when they went to Jiangnan six times, they were all playing, they were all hedonistic, and they were all in love with beautiful women, and Kang Mazi's first position in Chen Ming's mind was 'Merry'.

It's like when he was younger, after watching "Joking about Qianlong", he felt that Qianlong was just a person who played around and hooked up with beautiful women.

And then evolved, the emperor inspected the place that was playing; And the emperor's private visit to Weifu must be in danger.

Later, the assassination clip of Qianlong's micro-service visit in "Returning the Pearl" deepened his impression, even if he grew up and really understood some historical materials, the old impression in his mind lingered.

Starting from the bottom of Chen Ming's heart, he is not good at inspecting places, and he will waste money and money.

On this trip, there were thousands of Praetorian Guards escorting them, plus boats and horses, as well as accompanying palace maids, eunuchs, guards, and even ministers' family members, doctors, cooks, etc., which was a lot of money. It's comparable to adjusting a division.

With Chen Han's current economic situation, Chen Ming is of course unwilling to do this.

But the place is willing. In Hangzhou, and even in the whole of Zhejiang, no one has heard a word of opposition. The emperor is coming to Hangzhou, everyone is very welcome, rejoicing, from officials to merchants to people, all are elated, and all kinds of warm and extraordinary chattering floats in the sky above the city of Hangzhou.

Wang Zhenyi may really not know what the people in Hangzhou are like, but one thing is certain in Hangzhou's officialdom, that is, the officials in Hangzhou City have been idle since the moment the news reached Hangzhou City. [Does anyone know who Wang Zhenyi is? 】

Wang Zhenyi, who is only twelve years old, only knows that because of this incident, her father doesn't even have time to celebrate her birthday, and she is busy in the government all day long, and even her grandfather is helping her father plan and review the terms and conditions day and night. And on her twelfth birthday, she could only receive two insincere gifts that her father and grandfather had sent their retinue to buy on the street.

Twelve is a very important day. According to the current regulations of the imperial court, after the age of twelve, she is no longer a child, and she will go to Nanjing to attend a girls' school in the second half of the year.

In Wang Zhenyi's mind, her twelve-year-old birth in Japan should be a grand celebration, she will not only receive gifts from her parents, grandparents and grandmothers, but also invite her good friends to play at home.

But now, her birthday is deserted. Even her best friends couldn't come to the house to celebrate, because the parents of those classmates and playmates were also busy and had no time to distract their little daughter's family.

Wang Zhenyi's father, Wang Xichen, is the prefect of Hangzhou, and she attends the West Lake Girls' School, which is the No. 1 girls' school in Zhejiang, so her classmates and playmates are also famous children in Zhejiang, either rich or expensive.

And the reason why everyone didn't come to the door in person on Wang Zhenyi's birthday was that her father had already sent a message, and before the emperor left Hangzhou, if he had no official business, he would have to visit him, otherwise he would close the door and thank the guests.

Wang Zhenyi's family is originally from Tianchang, Anhui Province, and her grandfather moved to Nanjing. Her grandfather, Wang Zhifu, was the prefect of Fengcheng County and the prefect of Xuanhua, proficient in calculus and writings. In particular, her family has a rich collection of books, and outsiders say that there are as many as 75 cabinets. Wang Zhenyi's father, Wang Xichen, had a rough life and tried many times, but he was also proficient in medicine while he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and practiced medicine as a profession on weekdays.

In the history of the original time and space, Wang Xichen finally spent his life in obscurity, but in the current world of the changing times, he firmly seized the opportunity and joined the Fu Han army.

From an ordinary doctor at the beginning, he quickly became the head of a medical battalion. Although Wang Xichen failed to pass the first place, after all, he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and it was difficult to take the Jinshi exam in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it was easy to take the Jinshi exam for Chen Han. More importantly, he followed his father and stayed in the yamen all the year round, and he already knew a lot about political affairs. This was the biggest ease for him to jump into officialdom after he entered the medical battalion.

Wang Xichen, who is now in his Chinese New Year's Eve, has already taken the position of prefect of Hangzhou, the capital of Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province, and apart from the group of people who made meritorious contributions during the war, Wang Xichen's prospects are absolutely ambitious. And Wang Xichen's father, who chose Wang Zhifu from the Xuanhua prefect early, is to be a staff officer for his son in addition to caring for the elderly at home on weekdays.

And now that the emperor is about to go south to Hangzhou, this is definitely a big thing to go all out.

For this kind of errand, the first person in charge is of course the prefect of Hangzhou.

In the entire 'working group,' Wang Xichen belongs to the people who have made great contributions and made good contributions, and if he does a good job, it is a matter of his duty; if he does not do it well, he will definitely be punished. Who made him the unlucky prefect of Hangzhou?

This is like in the 21st century, when Xi Jinping went down to the local area to investigate, suddenly a large number of people from above rushed on the road. The magistrate's hat is definitely going to be brought to the end.

Of course, the emperor sent someone to inform Zhejiang early. Otherwise, Wang Xiyan's work will be even busier.

And the reason why the emperor told everyone so early is because it is impossible for the emperor to travel without moving the people, although today long live a strong saying to be simple, but more Praetorian Guards he ordered a full group, and the concubines, princesses, eunuchs and palace maids of the harem are not much, a total of only three or four hundred people, but what about the accompanying ministers? Who knows how many people they'll bring?

Emperor, Zhejiang can't afford to offend; The emperor is a casual minister of civil and military affairs, can Zhejiang afford to offend? Or is it necessary to offend?

The emperor was followed to Hangzhou by a small imperial court, although the main body of the cabinet was still in Nanjing, but there were also individual cabinet ministers who came with it, as well as deputies or principal positions of other departments.

These people don't seem to be much higher than Zhejiang just by looking at their grades, and many of them are not as good as the governor of Zhejiang. But the problem of 'difficulty in running the department' has been made public early, just like the situation in the previous life, no matter how majestic you are in the locality, you have entered the various organs and departments in the capital, and the small four and five products dare to wait for the local three-grade boss to wait in the living room.

When Chen Ming was in his last life, this situation eventually evolved into 'running the department and getting money', and now Chen Han is far more than that, but there is also the phenomenon of 'running the department is difficult'.

There are so many state finances, and if there are more for A, B, C, D, and D, will there be less pentheptanine? And the magistrate, on the ruling side, who doesn't want to leave some achievements for future generations to remember? And if you want to leave performance, you need the support of money.

For example, roads, canals, urban sewers, schools, hospitals, these are the most basic problems. If you solve one item, you can leave a good mark in the local chronicle.

Therefore, the people brought by the emperor cannot be easily offended, they have to think about the future.

The whole team must be prepared along the way, the palace must be repaired, the personnel to serve must be selected, the clothing, food, housing and transportation must be arranged, and the emperor's entry and exit routes must be guarded along the way...... Wait, wait, notice the place in advance is not a toss for you!

These are just scratching the surface. This time, the emperor came to Hangzhou, what it was for, everyone knows.

No matter how you evaluate it, this industrial and commercial conference is going to be held, right?

The emperor also wants to meet the magistrates and the generals of the garrison, right? Or even the emperor wants to review the local troops?

When the time comes, who will not come, who will be in front and who will be behind, who will accompany the emperor closely, where it will be held, how to entertain and guard, this is all a question, isn't it? If the quota is not good, it can be a big fight.

All kinds of entanglements and problems not only involve Hangzhou, but also look at the entire province of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so Wang Xichen is just the so-called deputy promotion of the welcome ceremony, and the promotion of the main brand is the left participation in politics of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

But people don't care about specific affairs on weekdays, they just adjust the overall situation, and Wang Xiyan is the one who really wants to deal with trouble. Then the workload is needless to say.

What's more, the emperor's final destination was not Hangzhou, but Xin'anjiang, which was more than 200 miles away from Hangzhou.

The Xin'an River is very famous in later generations, because the Xin'an River Reservoir was built in the early days of New China, and then there was the 'Thousand Island Lake' in the west of Hangzhou. But at this time, it's a lot worse. Even as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, there were people who established academies here to teach and educate people. But the light of Hangzhou is too hot, completely obscuring the scenery of Xin'an River.

Now the emperor wants to go to Chun'an, to go to Xin'anjiang, then he must build a palace. And the foothold is Songjing Village, not far from Longshan, where there is a small Jinluan Palace.

The latter can be said to be famous in Chun'an, which is "three feet shorter, three feet narrow, and three feet lower" than the Jinluan Hall in Beijing, and has a history of more than 200 years. The hall occupies an area of the hectare, the magnificence is very extensive, the bridge and the water reflect each other into an interesting ......, in fact it is a family temple of the doctor of the Yu family, according to the genealogical records of the Yu family, this family temple called "the little Jinluan Palace" by the descendants, poured the strength of the whole family, and built for 17 years.

But now the Yu family, which was once prominent in Chun'an, has disappeared, and this magnificent family temple has also become public property, because the Yu family raised a total of thirteen Jinshi in the late Ming and Manchu Qing dynasties, and stood on the opposite side of the Fu Han army during the war, and the whole family has disappeared.

Now Hangzhou Prefecture, the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, are mobilizing skilled craftsmen to go all out to work on the Xiaojinluan Palace. Strive to turn this family temple into a real small Jinluan Temple.

The overall scale has been expanded by more than three times, and the entire Songjing Village has been included. At the same time, the Hairui Temple on Longshan has also been renovated. That Longshan is a famous spot in western Zhejiang since ancient times, from Hairui Temple to climb the steps, about 500 stone steps can go directly to Ninggu Bell Tower. The building has a built-in Song Dynasty iron bell, visitors can take advantage of the fun to hit the bell to find fun, can also look at the lake and mountains, look at the county seat across the water, and enjoy the rare beauty of the world.

The periphery of the Little Golden Luang Hall has also been built with cement buildings. The emperor has brought people to live in, in addition to eating, the ministers must also have a place to live, can you keep them away from the emperor?

Oh, by the way, but also let the emperor see the local characteristics of Hangzhou, all kinds of local products to donate a little, this is a must. The emperor could not let the emperor find out that the city of Hangzhou was not good, and the beggars and other Hangzhou were really long gone, and they were all arrested and emigrated or reformed through labor. But there are a lot of scoundrels in Hangzhou, and there are also some idle people.

Hangzhou is the starting point of the Grand Canal, although now the imperial court has opened the sea route, which has greatly impacted the prosperity of the Grand Canal, but the influence has not reached the point of later generations, the Grand Canal is still an economic artery, even if it has degenerated some, it has changed from gold to silver, and it is still extremely prosperous. However, this also makes the various wharves in Hangzhou have a lot more rights and wrongs.

Fights and brawls between boat gangs, coachmen, porters, and ruffians and hooligans occurred frequently, giving Wang Xichen and his predecessor the prefect of Hangzhou a headache.

In the past, they could still turn a blind eye, and it was not a good thing anyway, as long as they didn't call the police, they would go.

But now? The slightest discord can't happen.

Wang Xichen now has to go to Chun'an every once in a while to supervise the construction of the project. The emperor in the city of Nanjing is about to set off, and a series of projects in Chun'an can be said to have entered the stage of sweeping, and this stage is the most sloppy.

Wang Xichen, as the person directly in charge of the palace renovation project, slipped a large amount of money and grain in his hands, which was to be cautious. From the initial relocation of the villagers of Songjing Village, to the later bulldozing and reconstruction of farmland, the demolition and relocation of the surrounding houses, and then the summoning of craftsmen and manual construction projects, etc., the expenditure of 1510 money and grain must be clearly recorded. Now the superintendent of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is Liu Wenwei's iron-faced and ruthless guy.

Wang Xichen is very precious about his future, and he is not a money-loving person, so he is unwilling to have problems in the economy.

In mid-May, Chen Ming in Nanjing finally set off.

Wang Xichen's busyness also came to an end, Wang Xichen hugged his little son who had not seen him for a long time, looked at the doll who was less than a year old and kept spitting bubbles, gently poking his cheeks with his hand, and Wang pursed his lips and smiled. A sense of homeness immediately revived Wang Xichen's numb heart, who had been busy for a long time.

"It won't be long before the holy car is coming, and I'm almost done with the matter at hand, who doesn't allow us to have the opportunity to follow the emperor to Xin'anjiang to have a good time. I didn't have fun when I went back to play, let's leave this million to my mother, and let the light go out. ”

Chen Ming set his place in Xin'anjiang, which made Wang Xichen curious about Xin'anjiang, and he also had to visit Xin'anjiang in earnest, and it was still early March, and he took his family to take the opportunity to go. The scenery is indeed very beautiful, there are scattered small island sandbars in the river, and what is more strange is that each small island island is surrounded by a layer of golden soil belt at the junction of the lake, which is called "Golden Belt" by the locals, very vivid, and very peculiar.

Wang Zhenyi and her younger brother Wang Zhenyu immediately jumped up, and when the sister and brother checked again from their father, their expressions instantly lit up, just like a child who got a toy he had loved for a long time, and both of them were about to jump.

"I've watched West Lake over and over again, and I've long been tired of it. It's good to go to Xin'anjiang! ”

"The place where the emperor wants to settle down, we have been to Hangzhou for more than two years, and we have only been there once, and we still look at the flowers, and no one will believe it."

"You two are singing together, and this time you'll have enough time there. It's summer anyway. ”

Chen Ming should not have thought about how much trouble he would cause to the officials appointed by the Hangzhou prefect when he traveled, but this is also how it should be, isn't it? He's the emperor.
