Chapter 144: Preparing for Action

Wang Yinglin said happily: "Most of the governors are quick to talk to people, and they are not suspicious of employing people, and they have the style of ancient gentlemen!" Okay, I agreed for Ye Taibai. Congratulations Taibai, you have been studying hard for 20 years, and you can finally show your talents! From now on, we are colleagues, and we have to call you Lord Ye! The future is terrifying, and I will have to take care of it in the future. ”

Ye Li stood there dumbfounded. What's going on? I didn't say a word from beginning to end, how did I become a governor? How did Cheng Yue know about himself? On what basis did he think he could be a governor? He is only thirty-two years old, he is in charge of the political side, Cheng Yue is even younger, only twenty years old, how did the world suddenly become like this? Do you want to say no first? This governor came too easily, and I always felt that it was not a good thing.

Cheng Yue seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said, "Mr. Ye, don't doubt yourself. In my Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, there are countless civil and military officials, but which one is not a rare talent? Did I miss someone? By the way, Lord Wang, I would like to tell you a great thing, Lord Goss has also agreed to take up the post of Director of the Legal Department, and the two of you have old days, so you can work better together in the future. ”

Wang Yinglin was overjoyed and arched his hand: "The majority of the governors are not left behind, and the tall adults are looking for it well!" Originally, I wanted to recommend it to the Metropolitan Governor, but I didn't expect the Metropolitan Governor to be the first. There are still people in the lower officials who want to recommend to the Metropolitan Governor, and the Metropolitan Governor wants to do it? ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "That's why I asked the two to be governors, I know that both of them have a lot of people who can recommend to me, I can trust you, but ask about it." Although you are bold in the provinces under your jurisdiction, do not care about your origins, let alone whether you have merit or fame, but only merit. I'll do it all. But there is a point. There is only a literary name and no talent for governance. Or I don't want to criticize and not build. If Jiangxi and Anhui are not well governed, it is the responsibility of the two adults. ”

Wang Yinglin knew that Cheng Yue's words were actually said to Ye Li, so he said: "Although the Metropolitan Governor is the only one who asks, he will never let down the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Ye Li finally had a chance to say a word, and Shi Li said: "Obey the teachings of the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Cheng Yue was happy in his heart and said with a smile: "It is Cheng's honor to be able to get the help of the two. I also ask the two adults to arrange their homes as soon as possible and go to work as soon as possible. I will send Yang Ting to help the two adults. ”

Cheng Yue presented his plan for the development of the two provinces to the two of them, and discussed with them for a long time, and then happily sent them out. Talents are rare, his luck is really good, most of the talents who were driven away by the Southern Song Dynasty court have been obtained by him.

At this time, it was almost noon, and Cheng Yue personally came to invite the Guan family. Guan Shen didn't expect that Cheng Yue would come to invite him personally, and hurriedly took his wife and two daughters to follow Cheng Yue to the dining room of Cheng's mansion.

Guan Shen's wife is kind and kind-eyed, although she is Cheng Yue's quasi-mother-in-law, she is very respectful to Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue was a little unaccustomed to it.

Cheng Yue said to Guan Shen: "I received a letter from Liu Shun the day before yesterday, saying that Ryukyu went to tens of thousands of people at once. There are not enough officials, and there is also a lack of important ministers to sit in charge, and after a long time, I am afraid that there will be instability. In addition, there are thousands of miles in the north and south of the Ryukyus, and now only the acting governor Xu Sheng is barely supported by 3,000 people. I thought, father-in-law, you are a talented person and my relative, and if you govern the Ryukyus on my behalf, no one can say anything. It's just that Ryukyu is a grass creation, and the conditions in all aspects are not as good as here, so I want to ask my father-in-law to come over to talk about it, I don't know if you are willing to work hard for me? ”

Guan Shen was prepared and said with a smile: "Since you are loved by the Metropolitan Governor, you dare to disobey your fate." My two daughters are still waiting to come through the door, how can a father ignore his daughter? ”

The two sisters lowered their heads shyly, and Cheng Yue also smiled and said, "Father-in-law is really refreshing." In this case, with my father-in-law as the vice governor of the Ryukyus, I will send Zhao Mengfu to prepare manpower and materials for you. This person is quite talented, I will reuse it in the future, I will send a group of craftsmen to open a factory, and my father-in-law will also teach the local natives to learn Chinese, repair roads, build ports, and do a lot of work, and thank you father-in-law for this unfilial son-in-law here. After speaking, he bowed.

Guan Shen is full of pride. The literary style of the Southern Song Dynasty was at its peak, and the difficulties in the imperial examination were not enough for outsiders. He thinks that he is not inferior to others, but the article is a little worse, after several efforts, nothing has been achieved, and finally discouraged, retired from home, and took the cultivation of his daughter as his career. Unexpectedly, because of the cultivation of his daughter to be famous far and wide, he actually recruited a terrible son-in-law, and then had a better chance to serve as a feudal official. It's okay in this way, I finally have a chance to display my talents, and I must not embarrass my son-in-law, otherwise, how can my two daughters enter the family?

Cheng Yue saw that he was ambitious, and said, "Father-in-law, there is one thing we have to say in advance." I know that my father-in-law is a believer in Buddhism, and I have no intention of interfering, but I must not promote Buddhism in the Ryukyus. Not just Buddhism, no religion is acceptable, and the father-in-law may abide by it? ”

Guan Shen was a little embarrassed, he actually planned to build a few big temples in the Ryukyus just now, but Cheng Yue broke it with a word, so he had to answer: "This...... As for the Grand Duke, I promise not to do so. ”

Cheng Yue smiled at this time: "In this way, there is nothing important to explain." Come, our son-in-law has a good meal, and we should give it to our father-in-law and mother-in-law, and please rest assured that the two elders will take good care of their two sisters and will not let them be wronged. ”

Guan Shen smiled: "I'm not worried about this matter at all, the governor has a good reputation for his family." ”

Cheng Yue laughed, and then talked to Guan Shen about the Ryukyus.

After lunch, Cheng Yue personally sent them back, and then rushed to the school to continue the class. Tomorrow is the "snatching" day agreed between Cheng Yue and Wen Tianxiang, and Cheng Yue summoned the relevant people in the evening, and carefully rehearsed before resting at ease.

In the morning, Cheng Yue took two concubines, led a large number of people to swagger through the city, and went straight to the farm outside the city. In this way, what happens in Lin'an City has nothing to do with him.

At the same time, in Yuheyuan, the most upscale Qinglou in Lin'an, the shopkeeper is on his mind.

The shopkeeper of Yuhe Garden is surnamed Song, who was originally a doorman of Jia Yidao, and in order to leave a way back for himself, he opened this green building. On the one hand, make some money, and on the other hand, it is more important to make friends with powerful people and listen to news. Because of this, after the fall of Jia Yidao, he was not implicated. Even so, there are new troubles, that is, to find a hard enough backstage as soon as possible, otherwise his industry will be swallowed up by others sooner or later. Liu Mengyan has been here twice, and asked him if he can buy shares, he knows that Liu Mengyan is a person, if he is given shares, this place will not be his own soon, of course he dare not agree. I was afraid that a catastrophe would come at some point, and my heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Hearing that Cheng Yue was going to enter Lin'an, he sent someone to vote for three posts, and also gave a heavy gift, bent on climbing this big tree. He had long decided that the only one in the world who could make no one dare to touch him was Cheng Yue, but Cheng Yue didn't pay attention to him at all.

When Cheng Yue entered Lin'an, he was watching on the side of the road. Later, I heard that Cheng Yue arrested two ministers who were unfavorable to the Yuan Dynasty in the court, and reprimanded the two prime ministers in court and punished them for their money, forcing the two to immediately go to the fold of pleading. Although the Empress Dowager gave her comfort as usual and did not reprimand again, the two prime ministers were already disgraced and did not dare to walk around outside at all, except for the last court.

The news was confirmed, and I don't know how many people cheered, and some people even offered Cheng Yue's tablet at home, asking God to bless the governor of Dadu with a hundred years old and deal with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

The kind of majesty and strength that Cheng Yue showed in this battle made him rack his brains even more to get in touch.

On the day of the murder of Zhang Quan, there was a sensation in Lin'an City, and everyone went to see the killing. There are more generals who have fled on the battlefield, and no one has ever been publicly beheaded because of this. As soon as the governor returned to the court, he directly took such a person, and the people of Lin'an rushed to tell each other, and they were as happy as a festival.

Zhang Quan was gagged to prevent him from screaming, and according to the order of the Grand Governor, five Mongolian masters who were good at slicing mutton moved together, and cut him off his head with 3,600 knives.

The people of Lin'an thundered with joy, although the order of the governor was cruel, but when he thought of the soldiers who died tragically because of him, who could not hate this kind of person?

Zhang Quan's body was not allowed to be buried, so it was hung at the corner of the city gate to make future generations vigilant.

The shopkeeper Song is even more determined, and he is trying to find a way, who expects that the sky will follow the wishes of the people, Wen Tianxiang will entertain Cheng Yue, and he will have eight courtesans on the banquet. The people of Wenfu went to the major Qinglou to invite, and four people from his Yuhe Garden were selected. This is a godsend, if Cheng Yue likes to listen to them sing, then he may come to Yuhe Garden, and he can take the opportunity to join the door.

He is very confident in himself, and anyone who wants to be deaf and clear needs him and a place like him. As long as you perform well, you are not afraid that Cheng Yue will not reuse yourself.

He asked the four courtesans to practice Cheng Yue's songs, but they couldn't get the essentials anyway, which made him very frustrated. Fortunately, I heard that Cheng Yue was also very interested in other songs before entering the city, presumably because he had been overseas for a long time. In addition, these four courtesans are all good at color, and they are not afraid that Cheng Yue will hate them.

In the evening, the four courtesans finally returned, but the news they brought back made him feel like a bolt from the blue, happy and worried.

Happily, Cheng Yue really likes them, and maybe he can really take this opportunity to visit them. The worry is that I have worked hard to train them, and I am about to slowly operate them and sell them one by one at a high price. Cheng Yue is going to buy them now, will the business be affected in the future? However, when I thought that I could use this to climb Cheng Yue, a little thing was nothing. (To be continued......)
