Chapter 145 Looking at the river upstairs and looking at the river

The Daqin Local Government Office is divided into three levels: provincial, state and county, and the province is the highest level of division, which is divided into nine provinces and one hundred orders and eight prefectures. There are only seven or eight small provinces, and twenty large provinces.

Like Shannan and Jiangbei, they all belong to the ranks of large provinces.

In order to prevent the situation of secession of feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty, Daqin placed two feudal officials in each provincial-level division. One is the governor, who is in charge of local taxes, labor, litigation and other government affairs, and the other is the governor, who is in charge of the local military, but he is one level higher than the governor in terms of rank, which means that military affairs are great.

At this time, the two giants of Jiangbei Province, Governor Lu Yanwu and Governor Zhuo Wenzheng, stood on the dock of Jingzhou in an orderly manner, waiting eagerly. A convoy of ships came slowly from the north, and gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone on the shore.

There was a commotion on the shore, but in exchange for the two bigwigs' wolf eyebrows, thousands of people on the entire dock for a time were silent and solemn.

It is said that the two of them supervise one side, and there is no need to make such a big deal for a young prince, as long as it is reasonable. But both of them are characters with hands and eyes, and they are in the whirlpool, how can they not experience the tense atmosphere of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

When this young master arrives at this time, he will definitely not just picket and arrest thieves as the holy decree says, and solve the case of espionage in Dongqi. When the storm comes, it won't necessarily play a role. It is because the two governors would rather be respectful and flattering, and have a good relationship with them, rather than make Qin Lei feel neglected because of their temporary self-esteem, so as to add a trace of uncertainty to the future big changes.

After a while, the fleet entered the harbor, disembarked from the stone pier, and anchored. In the middle, the three-story ship with the king of the county and the double flag of the king of the king of the Qin cha lowered the plank. Two rows of black-clad and black-armored guards with swords rushed down from the boat, neatly lined up in two rows, arching to guard the young men in Chinese clothes who appeared at the bow of the boat.

Lu Yanwu and Zhuo Wen glanced at each other, and then strode towards the handsome young man in royal clothes at the bow of the boat. The young prince also walked towards the two with a smile. There were still five steps left, and the two adults said: "See the prince." Then you will bow down and prostrate yourself. Qin Lei stepped forward, grabbed the two of them, and laughed loudly: "The two governors don't want to kill Xiao Wang." ”

The two of them forced themselves to kneel, but Qin Lei refused to let them, and finally replaced the first salute with a salute, and Qin Lei bowed down again to return the salute, and then it was over. After a few excuses and humility, the relationship quickly became closer, and the three of them laughed hand in hand, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

The two officials hugged Qin Lei from the left and the right to get off the boat, and introduced the main officials and gentry of Jiangbei Province to him one by one. Qin Lei greeted each other, and on the other hand, he kept in mind the characters mentioned in the list given by Old Man Shen and the Old Queen Mother, but his face was silent.

Met with all the officials and gentry, the two adults accompanied Qin Lei on the sedan chair, blowing all the way to the river, and the reception banquet to entertain the prince of Qincha was placed in the most famous Wangjiang Tower in Jiangbei.

In the sedan chair, the three masters are consolidating the friendship that has already made a good start.

Qin Lei looked at Koji Yanwu on the left side of the opposite side, this second-grade Taiwanese master had a big and burly face, his eyes were bright, his long hair was fluttering, and he was very well maintained, he looked like he was only in his early forties, but Qin Lei had already learned from the files of the Ministry that this governor was already more than fifty years old.

Zhuo Wenzheng next to him, that is, Lord Futai who Emperor Zhaowu ordered Qin Lei to be sure to protect, was much younger, only two out of forty. It is the golden season of the eunuch's career, and the person is also white and majestic, dignified, and indeed has the style of a provincial governor.

The two governors earnestly greeted Qin Lei whether his journey was smooth and whether he was tired. After Qin Lei answered them one by one, he kindly asked the two of them if they were safe in the family and how their children were, but he didn't ask "how is my sister-in-law" and other two-pole words.

After some greetings, they praised each other again. The two adults praised Qin Lei for being young and heroic, and he would definitely be a backer of Great Qin in the future. Qin Leiqian conceded a few words, and then slapped back, the two pillars of the kingdom and their hard work and achievements are high, and they will have to go to the court to worship the prime minister in the future and assist the dynasty. The two of them smiled bitterly in their hearts, with Wen Yanbo here, who can still sit in that phase.

But when Qin Lei said this, the two of them were still very happy, after all, the sedan chair was carried by everyone. Chinese officialdom has been like this since ancient times, if it comes up, it will start with the name and point to the key point, and it is often impossible to reach it if you want to hurry. You have to go down the process with a clear eye for things to fall into place.

Qin Lei didn't know these things, but the pavilion Tao who didn't have a chance to use it was very clear, and a few days before he came, he pulled him to practice repeatedly, in order not to miss this rare opportunity to make friends with local officials.

Qin Lei, who had clearly realized that if he continued to be alone like this, he would only be able to die, of course he would not refuse. After learning it, it is also done with a clear eye, and it seems to be presentable. It's just that there is always some resistance in my heart, so I talk and laugh on the river boat, and I make fun of the Yunyi girl at will, and later I saw Wang Fu and said a few sour words, all in order to dispel the irritability in my heart.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way to the outside of Wangjiang Tower. After getting off the sedan car, the guards opened the sedan curtain and respectfully invited the three to get off the sedan car.

When Qin Lei got off the sedan chair, he was attracted by the tall and majestic gorgeous platform in front of him. I saw that the building was tall and majestic, with five floors, the eaves were paved with golden glazed tiles, and the walls were the color of Danzhu. The river flows through the vast soup soup in front of the building, and it seems that this building is magnificent, and the weather is thousands.

Qin Lei looked at the three big characters on the blue-bottomed gilt plaque upstairs with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing - Wangjiang Tower. Praised: "Except for being lower than that Wanli Tower, the rest are much better." ”

When the officials and gentry around heard this, their faces were all proud, and they looked proud. It seems that they are very concerned about this building.

Koji Yanwu laughed and said, "Each is good at winning, and everyone is good at winning." With that, he asked Qin Lei to go upstairs. Only then did Qin Lei find out that the two bigwigs had cleared the entire street, and on a wide riverside street, in addition to the accompanying gentry, there were only sergeants and servants who were waiting for the battle.

The so-called not in his position does not seek his own government, and Qin Lei is not Emperor Zhaowu or Wen Yanbo, so naturally he will not have any objections to this kind of disturbance to the people, after all, people are entertaining themselves. He smiled and climbed the high steps of the Wangjiang Tower, accompanied by the two adults.

I saw that the pillars on the left and right of the gate were engraved with a pair of long couplets, the upper link is "Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Flow, Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Tower, Jianglou Wangjiangliu, Jianglou through the ages, Jiangliu through the ages", the lower link is "Viewing Pavilion, Viewing Crane, Viewing Crane on Viewing Pavilion, Jingge is beautiful, Jinghe is beautiful. ”

The two adults thought that Qin Lei would definitely taste it in front of the couplet, but they had already stood up and waited for him to chant. Qin Lei strode into the building without realizing it, leaving the two of them behind at once, so he was not embarrassed.

Only then did the two know that this young master didn't like literary things, so they glanced at each other, laughed dryly, and took a few steps to follow.

Today, the Wangjiang Tower was also emptied, and the whole was used to entertain the prince of Qincha.

Everyone sat upstairs according to their grades, and the higher the grades, the higher the higher. Only officials of the fourth rank or above or barons or above can sit with the three big men on the fifth floor.

There are three tables of banquets on the fifth floor, and when everyone sits down, the wine and food will be delivered at a low price. The two governors entertained Qin Lei so hard, and naturally spared no expense in wine and food. You don't see ordinary dishes such as chicken, duck and fish. It's full of rare things like abalone, bear's paws, sea bass, and finless porpoises.

The two adults naturally want to represent the millions of people in Jiangbei first and pay tribute to Qin Lei three cups. Then the staggering of the tables and the banquet begins. After the wine has passed for thirty years and the food has passed five flavors, Qin Lei naturally wants to get up and pay tribute to the master. The lively Wangjiang Tower suddenly fell silent.

Qin Lei held the wine glass, pondered for a moment, and then said loudly: "Everyone, when Xiao Wang first came to the treasure land, he was warmly welcomed by the Jiangbei fathers, it is really ......."

At this moment, a huge cannon sound outside interrupted the second half of Qin Lei's words.

Immediately afterwards, the noise and scolding outside became louder and louder, and the faces of the adults in the room became more and more ugly.

Qin Lei smiled and said clearly: "Presumably, the Jiangbei father knows that Xiao Wang is here and can't wait to express his enthusiasm." Then he smiled at Koji Yanwu on the left-hand side and said, "After drinking this glass of wine, my lord will arrange for someone to entertain you." lest the Jiangbei father say that Xiao Wang is not polite. ”

His words immediately eased the awkward atmosphere in the hall. Although they all know that he is firing guns with his mouth, they are all extremely satisfied, and they are all very satisfied, and they are all good.

Lu Yanwu smiled and said, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Qin Lei raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Drink together!" ”

The officials and gentry all stood up and responded, "Drink together!" ”

After drinking, Koji Yanwu handed a color to the Jiangbei general Gu Pei on the right, and General Gu got up and left.
