Time flies, and three days have passed in a flash. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Ministry of Works, Nanzhili Patrol according to the Imperial History, Xu Guanxu, and the old man pressed Yuyao.

However, Mr. Xu did not live in the procuratorate prepared for him temporarily by the Wu County Order, but went straight to the Wang family.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, Lord Xu's main duty is to control the Susong flood, although he also has the title of Nanzhili Patrol Imperial History, but it is a temporary title added by the Son of Heaven in order not to be hindered by local officials.

Besides, Nanzhili's patrol can't inspect Yuyao according to the imperial history, and Wu County's order to prepare the procuratorate for Xu Guan to move in is to pay tribute to the officials, and it is another matter for Xu Guan to live in.

Mr. Xu may have been afraid of rumors, so he lived directly in Wang's house.

Since it is not a business trip, then Mr. Xu's choice is naturally understandable.

However, this approach has a different meaning to outsiders. The most worrying one is Wu Youfu, the commander of Yuyao County.

Although it is said that Mr. Xu is also in charge of the imperial history of Nanzhili, and he does not care much about Yuyao's affairs, if there is really a disturbance among the people, or if he rushes to Mr. Xu's residence to complain, it is not something that Wu Youfu can bear.

Although Wu Youfu has not been able to make great efforts since he took office, he has not lived a vegetarian life, not to mention that there is merit, at least hard work. Seeing that his three-year term was approaching, he could have patted his ass and left, but it was really sad to catch up with such an incident.

Wu Xianling always felt that something was wrong, Xu Lao's personality was recognized as upright, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty, and rushed from Beijing to Songjiang and Suzhou to deal with floods.

However, at the moment when the flood was initially contained, Mr. Xu went south by boat and came to Yuyao. If there were no major matters, how could Elder Xu's character suddenly leave the office?

Yuyao is neither a capital city nor an important town, and there is no reason for Mr. Xu to overstep his authority to inspect the place.

Sightseeing? This is even more unlikely.

In the midst of his sorrow, Zou Shi, a staff member he hired, came to Wu County's side and said, "Why is the county respectable worried? ”

Wu Xianling remembered that he had a master by his side, and hurriedly said, "Do you need to say this?" Mr. Xu came to Yuyao, but he refused to enter the procuratorate, and the county was worried that the boss was coming for the county. Since taking office, the county has been promoting culture and education, emphasizing agriculture and mulberry, and has been conscientious and conscientious. I don't know where I offended the villain, but I actually attracted the patrol to press the imperial history. What a pain, what a pain! ”

Zou Shixin said, I asked, your old man poured beans from the bamboo tube, and he dared to complain.

"Don't worry about the county zun, according to the opinion below, Lord Xu may not be here for the county zun."

Hearing this, the sadness on Wu County's face dissipated slightly, and he suddenly said, "You tell me carefully." ”

He pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Does the county know what Elder Xu's position is in the court?" ”

"Naturally, it's the left waiter of the Ministry of Works."

Wu Xianling eats the imperial grain, so he naturally remembers the official positions of these old men clearly, otherwise if he can't even recognize the mountain, he can't find anyone if he wants to take refuge in the future.

He was wondering why Zou Shi would ask such a question, and Zou Shi smiled and said, "That's right." The county only remembered that Mr. Xu was the governor of Nanzhili, but he forgot that his old man's main position was the left squire of the Ministry of Works. Can the county Zun still remember the letter written for the county Zun a year ago? ”

Wu Xianling nodded.

Although Yuyao is also the land of fish and rice, the waterways are not longitudinal and horizontal. Except for the Yao River passing through the city, there is no water system nearby.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is very smooth from Beijing to Suzhou to Hangzhou.

However, if you want to take the water route from Yuyao to Hangzhou or Beijing, most of them first take the land route to Shaoxing for transit, and then take a boat from Shaoxing to Hangzhou.

Don't look at Yuyao is not far from Shaoxing, it will take a whole day. If there is a delay on the road, it is not impossible to spend the night in the suburbs.

This day may not seem like a long time, but it can be annoying enough to catch up with urgent matters.

Therefore, at Zou Shi's suggestion, Wu Xian Ling wrote a recital, asking the imperial court to dig a waterway between Shaoxing and Yuyao Yao River to connect the Grand Canal.

Wu County is soft-spoken, and when it is presented to Beijing, it is like a stone ox entering the sea without any news.

Wu Xianling didn't have much hope for this matter, but he didn't expect Zou Shi to mention it again, but he seemed to have eyebrows again.

Xu Guanxu's identity in the south of the Yangtze River to control the flood is the southern Zhili patrol according to the imperial history, and has nothing to do with these counties in eastern Zhejiang. But at the same time, Mr. Xu is also a dignified left waiter in the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Industry does not have as much voice as the Ministry of Households and Officials among the six ministries, but it cannot be underestimated.

It was said that the construction of the palace and the excavation of the canal were all led by the Ministry of Engineering. Xu Guan, as the left waiter, naturally holds authority and has a great right to speak.

Lord Xu suddenly pressed Yu Yao Mo to start digging the river with his approval from His Majesty's letter last year?

If this is really done, Yuyao and Shaoxing will be connected as a whole, and there will be no need to go by land, but a lot of manpower and material resources will be saved.

Compared with this credit, what is the revitalization of culture and education, and the emphasis on agriculture and mulberry are insignificant.

If this credit is confirmed, it is also possible that Wu County Order will be promoted to the prefect of one party.

The more he thought about it, the more happy he became, so he said to Zou Shi: "But Mr. Xu refuses to stay in the procuratorate, and the county can't even talk to his old man, but what should I do?" ”

Zou Shi said with a smile on his face: "Don't be anxious, look down, Lord Xu is avoiding suspicion." ”

"Avoiding suspicion?"

Wu Xianling was slightly stunned, obviously not yet reacting.

"County Zun think about it, if Elder Xu came to dig the river, how could he stay in the procuratorate? If this is grabbed by the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, won't the reputation of the boss be damaged. ”

Take people's money and relieve people's sorrows. Since Zou Shi is a staff member hired by Wu County Order, he naturally wants to relieve Wu County Order's sorrow wholeheartedly.

"Mr. Xu came to Yuyao as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, so the procuratorate must not be moved in. If you live in the official residence of the county government, it can be regarded as a compliance system, but then the wind evaluation in Shilin will have an impact. ”

Ming officials often wear multiple hats, and different positions represent different identities, and the choices made by different identities are naturally different.

Although Zou Shi is only a man from a high background and has not been involved in the Ming officialdom, his psychological research on these officials has entered the realm.

Mr. Xu is honest and upright, and the more such people are, the more they value their reputation. In Zou Shi's opinion, it is normal for Xu Guan to come to Yuyao but not meet Wu County Order immediately, and Wu County Order has no need to worry about it at all.
