The new officials take office three times, and most ambitious officials will follow this principle, whether in later generations or in the present day. As for Wang Fulin, because he was not prepared before, he didn't know that the imperial court suddenly sent him to Guangdong to patrol the imperial history after two years, and he was in a hurry all the way, so he could be said to have no understanding of the situation in the officialdom in Guangdong, so he hurriedly came to take office. In the case of an unstable foothold, he is not prepared to act rashly and take who is a model of Liwei. Even if he, the inspector of the imperial history, was quiet everywhere after he took office, and the officials everywhere didn't even have a reception banquet, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

And three days later, after Chen Atian took Li Erlong and others to explore around, a dense map of Guangdong officialdom was placed in front of him. Because the patrol of the imperial history is not only in charge of civil officials, but even the general soldiers of Guangdong and the generals below the general are all under supervision, so this list is clearly divided into civil and military affairs, from the governor of Liangguang to the miscellaneous streams that do not enter the stream. It is very rare that Wang Fulin actually found a familiar name from it. At this time, after pinching his head heavily under the name of the envoy in Guangdong, he stood up with a smile.

"It's really a life where we don't meet! Let's go, let's go and meet our Guangdong Judge Master Zhentai. ”

The doors used by the respective officials are slightly different due to customs, some really use the doors as the gatehouse, but there are also places where the doors are used as the officials' personal entourage, and even there are officials who can't bring their families to choose beautiful young people to be the doormen, but in fact they treat people as prostitutes. Among them, in the southeast and in Fujian and Guangdong, this custom is particularly popular. After Wang Fulin took office, he stayed at home, and he did not change the two disciples of his predecessor, but he sent them to the front as the gatekeeper, and at the same time sent Wang Siming over to take over, so this small procuratorate. There were three men in the gatehouse.

When he went out at this time, Wang Fulin specially instructed Wang Siming that if someone came, it didn't matter if they couldn't understand what people were saying because of the language barrier, but they must ask someone to leave their names and origins, just like they did in Wang's house before. Transcribe the visitor book every day. Wang Siming agreed repeatedly, and when Wang Fulin and his party were sent away, he immediately spread out the paper and pen in the doorway and wrote today's date in a dignified manner. He has been learning to read and write for nearly a year, and most of the original bald scoop on his head has grown hair, although it is not very long, but it looks no different from most Central Plains people. In addition, seeing that he could write, two men of the same age as him couldn't help but get together.

Menzi was originally a kind of husband's servant, and his salary was two taels of silver a year. It seems to be meager, but if you really act as an official to accompany you, or if you are one step closer, you will naturally be rewarded a lot, and even if you are a porter, because most of the people who ask to see in front of the official office will not be stingy, and they will also get a lot of money, so such a lowly position. On the contrary, many ordinary families rushed to send their children and nephews, and the quota often relied on bribing the county officials. Now the two men of the procuratorate have served the inspector in front of him. But they just went out with the waiter, and they never went in the study, and they didn't recognize a basket of characters, so they all showed envious expressions when they looked at it.

Although Cantonese is spoken in Guangdong, they are close to the officials. Of course, he can speak official language, and at this time, one of the young people tentatively asked: "How long has Brother Wang been with our master, where did you learn to read and write?" ”

Wang Siming served Wang Gao in Jianzhou in the past, and after following Wang Fulin, he experienced such a sinister fight outside the Guan. It's not as young and honest as it seems. But what others asked was not something worth hiding, he put down the pen and said: "I have been with Childe for about a year and a half, and reading and writing are taught by people around Childe, and sometimes Childe himself also teaches. ”

Hearing that Wang Fulin could even teach people around him to read and write, the two disciples exchanged a look, and they were all taken aback, but they were placed in the procuratorate for two years, in a sense, it was another eyeliner, of course they knew that if they asked again, they might arouse suspicion. Therefore, they changed their approach and set up almost. However, after asking ten questions, Wang Siming replied, and in the end they had to give up this futile temptation.

On the other side, Wang Fulin had just come to the door of the judge. This is located in the northwest corner of the old city of Guangzhou in the north, the road in front of the door is called Zhensi Street, perhaps because of the relationship between the criminal authorities, there are not many small merchants and hawkers in the streets, the whole road with buildings gives people a feeling of solemnity with a bit of gloom, and there are few visitors. When Wang Fulin went to the door to hand over the post, the porter was a little lazy at first, and when he saw the payment clearly, he glanced at Wang Fulin's face a few more times in shock, and then immediately smiled and said: "Please wait for a while, and the little one will go and inform Lord Zhentai!" ”

Seeing that people were pulling their legs and running inside, Wang Fulin looked through the gate at the yamen of the two hundred years old judge. As an important place in charge of the judiciary of a province, according to the judicial department and the political secretary and the capital division together called the three divisions, and then the capital division because of the rise of the general army, the power gradually inferior, although the political department and the judicial department have the governor and the governor constraints, but always maintain the corresponding independence, but the political envoy according to the inspection of the envoy to the central government of the opportunity to transfer to the central government is less and less, often in the local circle, if there is no strong help in the court, the final opportunity to become the governor is not large, that is, everywhere flat transfer, and finally in office to the officer.

Therefore, the old man he knew was able to jump from the prefect to the chief judge of a province in a few years, which was already a super fast pace of promotion.

"Master Wang, Lord Zhentai is invited."

With the doorman coming out, it was a middle-aged man dressed in person, Wang Fulin felt a little familiar at first glance, and searched in his mind, was it the one who came to pick him up in the middle of the night with a lantern? Entering with the other party all the way, he smiled and said, "Once or twice, you came to greet me, but it was a coincidence." Your lord is still as lonely and straightforward as before, and no one buys it? ”

When the middle-aged man heard Wang Fulin ask, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Master Wang and Master have also dealt with each other, and what you said is not bad at all." I heard that Wang Ye served as the governor of Guangdong this time, and the little one had already mentioned it to the master, so it was better to invite Wang Ye to come over the house to talk, but the master said that private friendship is private friendship, business is official business, and he has nothing to ask for, what is he doing to make friends? Besides, after hearing the words from the Chief Minister. The old man pushed the person back, but he still had a temper, saying that he was waiting for you to come to the door to ask the teacher. ”

"Your lord just takes a big deal on himself when he has something, but when he should pull the relationship, he desperately retreats, this temper can actually rise to the rank of probation, his old man is really lucky." Wang Fulin said this. Suddenly asked, "Do you know that the former Hangzhou Prefecture Governor Huang Longhuang's predecessors, and Zhu Zhuzhu's predecessors, the directors of the Beixin Guanhu Division, are now transferred?" ”

It turns out that today's Guangdong envoy is none other than the original Hangzhou prefect!

"Don't you know? After the expiration of the previous term of office, Lord Huang was first transferred to supervise the imperial history, and then promoted to the imperial history of Gansu Inspector. It can be regarded as an official with you. However, after Director Zhu left office, he was transferred to Nanjing as a member of the household department, but within half a year, he got into trouble, and he was deposed to Huguang and became a common acquaintance. This can be regarded as a great shame, I don't know if he will resign in anger. ”

When Wang Fulin went to Hangzhou before, he also asked Zhang Ning, the eunuch guarding the tax customs, about this, and Zhang Ning only mentioned that Zhu was transferred to Nanjing, but he had never heard of an official surnamed Zhu in the six ministries when he went to Nanjing. In addition, he was in a hurry to return, so he could only let it go first. Now when he heard about this, he immediately sighed. When he came to the door of the study, he saw that the kiss was snorting, so he gestured to him, and he opened the bamboo curtain and entered.

"It's also a life-and-death relationship, and I'm in Guangzhou. Shibo didn't even have a message, could it be that as the landlord who came first, he couldn't afford to be stingy with a meal? ”

Yan Yuan was originally pretending to be reading a book behind the desk, but when he saw Wang Fulin coming in, he was familiar with the way and looked around on the bookshelf, and then said something like this. He couldn't pretend anymore. Dropping down the book that hadn't turned a page for half a day, he said angrily: "You have made a lot of trouble in Liaodong and Jingshi, and you claim to be a disaster star, and now you have come to Guangdong again, who is not worried that you, a disaster star, will come to find fault again?" You said that you won't go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to die, why did you regret it this time? Nan Ming is the same, he is in Jingshi, he doesn't know how to operate this kind of thing, do you know how important it is to your reputation? ”

This is really a good person who is consistent, cold-faced and warm-mouthed!

Wang Fulin knew that although Yan Yuan and Wang Daokun did not seem to have a friendship with Wang Shizhen and a connection with Zhang Juzheng, they were indeed not the same year as ordinary science fields, and these words were not said by the inspector to the imperial history, but by the elders to the juniors. So, he obediently waited until Yan Yuan finished speaking, and then said helplessly: "On the official document of the ministry, the deadline for me to take office is two months, but before I sent my wife and brother to Ningbo to get married, accompanied my grandmother to Putuo Mountain, and then visited friends in Xinchang, and when I returned to my hometown, the deadline was only twenty days. If I were in Beijing, of course, I could write and resign, but in Huizhou, I really couldn't do it. ”

Seeing that Yan Yuan was stunned for a moment and sighed, he knew that Yan Yuan must have accepted his reason, and immediately said with a smile: "It's just that Shibo said that I had a big trouble in Liaodong and Jingshi, which doesn't seem to be very accurate, the first time I went to Hangzhou, wasn't I involved in such a big thing as the Beixinguan Rebellion?" It is not very peaceful to go to Hankou, go to Ningbo and meet my father-in-law's family to fight for property, let alone in Huizhou, I still encounter huge thieves while sitting at home, and I go to Yangzhou is flooded...... This time, when he returned to his hometown from Beijing to recuperate, he also encountered a dispute over the silk of the Huizhou summer tax. I don't want to be a disaster, and I can't help it. ”

This time, Yan Yuan was really happy. Have the heart to scold a few words, he and Wang Fulin are actually not so close, when he was in Hangzhou before, he still took the initiative to help, and he was willing to take the risk to accompany him on a trip to Beixinguan, to be honest, only he owed Wang Fulin, and people didn't owe him anything. So, he could only push the handrail and stand up, and said with a calm face: "Okay, since you just said that I didn't even want to invite you to dinner, then I will make up for you for this outstanding reception banquet." I have been in Guangzhou for more than a year, but I have some experience with the various restaurants in Guangzhou, and I think I can also satisfy you as a foodie. ”

Wang Fulin suddenly smiled, and he didn't mind Yan Yuan exposing his true colors as a foodie. Guangzhou is the capital of food in later generations, not to mention Cantonese cuisine, just a variety of Cantonese dim sum made his index fingers move, the previous three days others honestly stayed in the courtyard, but those people below have not less to collect all kinds of snacks to bring back, recently are still discussing a cook, but this is after all different from the real foodies to lead the way to the restaurant. So, he immediately said impatiently: "Then please ask Shibo to lead the way." ”

Even if Wang Fulin made it clear that he didn't talk about business, it was completely the juniors who came to visit the elders to eat, and Yan Yuan thought that today was Xiu Mu, even if it was not yet time for dinner, he still changed into civilian clothes and took Wang Fulin to a small restaurant that he often came and went, three streets away from the judge. Although it was not yet time to eat, the small restaurant was crowded, and Yan Yuan and Wang Fulin separated from a few entourages, pretending to be two groups of people who did not know each other, and it took two quarters of an hour to wait for the two empty tables. When everyone finally sat down, Chen Atian, who came with Wang Fulin, looked at Yan Yuan with a little more admiration.

That's according to the inspector, a dignified and high-ranking official, he actually went to this kind of place to eat, and he was willing to wait for a seat!

And after Yan Yuan sat down, he ordered a proficient Cantonese dialect, and the guy who ran the hall was obviously very familiar with him, and Wang Fulin could roughly distinguish that it seemed to be called Yagong. Don't look at the small restaurant, a salt-baked chicken, a roast goose, a roast suckling pig, the three plates of roasted meat came up first, Wang Fulin suddenly moved his index finger, and he was happy to eat at the moment. At the same time, the noisy sounds in the store, almost without exception, are all Cantonese sounds, like an iron wall, clearly distinguishing locals from outsiders.

"Since you're here, remember to learn the Cantonese dialect when you go back, otherwise, you'll be deaf if you go down to the imperial history."

Hearing Yan Yuan's words in a low voice, Wang Fulin, who was originally immersed in munching on his head, raised his head and smiled, and said very lightly: "I know." ”

Although it was just two simple words, Yan Yuan found that this was pure Cantonese dialect, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but saw Wang Fulin quietly pointing to Chen Atian, who was sitting with his two entourages and Zhao San Mazi on several adjacent tables with his hand: "I have long known that Guangdong does not speak official language, and I specially bring people who are proficient in the local language." I learned a little bit along the way, as long as I studied harder, at most a month, I shouldn't be deaf. ”

Yan Yuan nodded at this time, and when the other dishes he ordered also came up one by one, he was about to remind others again, but Wang Fulin opened his mouth and asked: "Shibo, let me inquire about one thing, is there a place to have morning tea in this Guangzhou city now?" ”

"Morning tea? What morning tea? Got up early for tea at the teahouse? How can so many people have such idle time! You tossed out a building outside the building in Hangzhou, don't just think about eating after you arrive in Guangdong! ”

I dare to love that I haven't had the habit of morning tea this year! Wang Fulin didn't take Yan Yuan's reprimand to heart at all, and was thinking about whether to bring this trend up while eating. Just when Yan Yuan was angry that the chicken and the duck were talking about it, and he was spitting on the stars, Wang Fulin was in the wind, and three words that he was very familiar with came from outside the door.

"Wronged!"

PS: The bug that you can't vote for a monthly pass has been fixed. In addition, there is only one update today, because after checking countless materials last night, I was ashamed to find that a certain idea before made a very big mistake and wanted to overturn it and start over. It is said that the Ming Dynasty really checked Macao at all levels, and controlled it everywhere, but the officials really dared to fish, and there were three or four hundred thousand taels of embezzlement (to be continued.) )
