Gan Xuekuo set off for Huai'an as quickly as possible.

To be able to serve as the governor of Caoyun, this is something that Gan Xuekuo did not expect, and it is also a somewhat sudden thing, after receiving the order, the eunuch Wang Chengen of Bingbi, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, Qian Shisheng and Hou Sui, etc., all talked to him specifically, which made Gan Xuekuo, who did not have much mental preparation, a little surprised, and also felt the pressure.

Although he is a member of the Donglin Party, Gan Xuekuo's impression of Zheng Xunrui is not so bad, on the contrary, Zheng Xunrui has done so many things, which makes him a little admired, from Zheng Xunrui's ability and Zheng Jiajun's toughness, Zheng Xunrui has become the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, of course, the irreconcilable state between Zheng Xunrui and the Donglin Party, Gan Xuekuo is also clear.

But this time as the governor of Caoyun, his duty is different, not only to restore Caoyun, which is difficult to maintain stability in the north, but also to make drastic changes and abolish everything that Zheng Xunrui left behind in Huai'an.

Before leaving, Gan Xuekuo was finally summoned by the emperor, and when he left the Qianqing Palace, the expression on his face was solemn.

On September 11, Gan Xuekuo arrived at Huai'an Wharf.

The busyness on the wharf opened Gan Xuekuo's eyes, the non-stop flow of people coming and going, the piles of goods, the merchant ships waiting at the wharf, and the soothing or anxious businessmen constituted the main scene of the wharf.

Everything was in order, there were no disputes.

In just a quarter of an hour, Gan Xuekuo saw three merchant ships leave the dock loaded with goods.

Those who came to the wharf to greet were Ma Zhukui, who participated in politics in Licao, Ma Shiying, who supervised and urged Ma Shiying, and Su Jiancheng, who escorted and participated in politics.

The merchants on the dock did not pay special attention to Ma Zhukui and the others, and no one watched, and Ma Zhukui and the others had been waiting in the northwest corner of the dock, and they also showed their reluctance to disturb everyone.

Seeing Ma Zhukui and the others, as well as the momentum of greeting, Gan Xuekuo was a little unhappy. He is the new governor of Caoyun, and in the future, this Huai'an wharf will be under his direct jurisdiction, his words can make Huai'an wharf shake, he can keep Huai'an wharf busy, and he can also make this place heavily guarded, and ordinary businessmen are not allowed to approach.

Could it be that when Zheng Xunrui left Huai'an. I also want to give him Gan Xuekuo a dismount.

Facing Ma Zhukui, Ma Shiying, Su Jiancheng and others who came up, Gan Xuekuo's steps were very slow, and there was no expression on his face.

When Ma Zhukui and the others walked in front of them to salute, a smile appeared on Gan Xuekuo's face, but it quickly disappeared.

"The official has just arrived, and I am tired of all the adults coming to greet him, and the official has just seen this Huai'an wharf, and I feel that something is wrong, this Huai'an wharf is an important place for transportation. The main thing is to ensure the smooth transportation of Cao, now so many merchant ships, does not affect the transportation of Cao, before the official left Beijing, the emperor specially instructed to ensure the smooth flow of Caoyun, it seems that the first thing the official to Huai'an is to vigorously rectify the Huai'an wharf. ”

There was silence for a while. Ma Zhukui, Ma Shiying, Su Jiancheng and others never imagined that Gan Xuekuo had just arrived in Huai'an. Before arriving at the Caoyun Governor's Palace, before seeing Zheng Xunrui, he opened his mouth to say such words, Gan Xuekuo wants to rectify Huai'an Wharf, where is it so simple, if Huai'an Wharf is used as an important place for Caoyun. Not allowing other merchant ships to dock not only hit the merchants of Huaibei and even Nanzhili, but also directly affected the trade affairs of Huaibei.

Ma Shiying, who was the oldest, pondered for a while and spoke.

"Your Excellency has just arrived in Huai'an, so you are so busy with transportation matters. It is worth learning from the lower officials, my lord has been tired all the way, so it is better to go to the governor's palace first, and take other things slowly. ”

After Ma Shiying finished speaking, Ma Zhukui also spoke.

"Lord Zheng is waiting for your lord in the Governor's Palace, so please go to the Governor's Mansion first."

Gan Xuekuo didn't have any expression on his face, the anger in his heart had risen, he had just arrived at Huai'an Wharf, and no one agreed to the first decision he proposed, which didn't embarrass him.

"This official knows, as the governor of Caoyun, when he arrives at Huai'an Wharf, he will be considered to be in office, so please accompany this official here to take a look around."

After leaving this sentence, Gan Xuekuo walked towards the busiest north side of the dock, without mentioning Zheng Xunrui who was waiting in the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, nor did he listen to everyone's advice.

Such a posture is very rare, Gan Xuekuo and Zheng Xunrui are both officials of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of rank, Zheng Xunrui is higher than Gan Xuekuo, according to the normal situation, after Gan Xuekuo arrived in Huai'an, he first needed to meet Zheng Xunrui, after the two handled the transfer, Gan Xuekuo could really begin to perform his duties, which is not only a matter of etiquette, but also a matter of the face of officials in the officialdom.

Gan Xuekuo's attitude is incomprehensible, it is said that Gan Xuekuo is not a young man, he has been in the officialdom for many years, these basic rules should be known, such an excessive approach, the deep reasons reflected are intriguing.

Caoyun Governor's Palace, study.

A sneer appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.

"It's too boring, I think I have the support of the emperor behind me, so I want to control everything in Huaibei, I just want to give me a horse, Gan Xuekuo, you are too naïve, I originally thought that you would take office, and I didn't want to touch your face, but if you do this, then don't blame me for being polite."

After saying these words, Zheng Xunrui spoke to Xu Wanghua beside him.

"Mr. Xu, all the matters related to the relocation are almost over, and the rest is some outstanding matters, you temporarily stay in Huai'an, stationed in the military camp of the Zheng family, responsible for coordinating the officials at all levels in Huaibei and Hongmen, and tell them that everything is done according to the original rules, there is no change, all the orders and requirements issued by Gan Xuekuo, whatever is in line with our interests, can be followed, and everything that does not conform to the original will be ignored."

"Jinhong, you go and tell Hong Mingcheng and A Bing and others, from now on, Cao Yun will be completely stopped, within this year, I don't want to see a grain shipped to the north, tomorrow Shaanxi's 300,000 stone grain will be transported in place, and the Cao boat will be able to rest, as for what method to take, let Hong Mingcheng and them think carefully, in short, let Gan Xuekuo not find a loophole, helpless."

"Today I will leave Huai'an, go to Nanjing to take office, the plan to relocate the trade wharf to Hangzhou, will soon begin to implement, in the future Huai'an will focus on becoming the Caoyun wharf, Hangzhou will become a trade wharf, Gan Xuekuo reminded me, Huai'an wharf is too busy, some can not bear it, Hangzhou wharf as a merchant ship distribution wharf, it is the best choice."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xu Wanghua looked at Zheng Jinhong.

"My lord, my subordinates will stay in Huai'an for the time being, and after dealing with all the matters, I will rush to Nanjing, but my subordinates are a little worried that such a tough approach will make Lord Gan, who has received the support of the emperor, make a big move."

"I just want him to make a big move, so that he will leave Huai'an in a short period of time, within this year, the Cao boat will not transport a grain of grain to the north, at the end of the year, Gan Xuekuo will leave willingly."

After more than an hour, Gan Xuekuo finally came to the Caoyun Governor's Mansion.

Zheng Xunrui and Gan Xuekuo finally met.

The two are actually very familiar, although there are few opportunities to meet, Gan Xuekuo used to be the governor of Shaanxi and Zheng Xunrui's direct superior, but Gan Xuekuo later participated in the impeachment of Zheng Xunrui, and the two did not have much contact.

At this moment, Gan Xuekuo had a smile on his face and bowed.

"Xiaguan has seen the busyness of Huai'an Wharf with his own eyes, and he really admires Lord Zheng's ability."

"Lord Gan is polite, the official is about to leave Huai'an, everything will be entrusted to Lord Gan, as for the transfer of the matter, the Governor's Mansion has its own specific handling, if there is anything unclear about Lord Gan, you can write to ask, the official has been delayed in Huai'an for a long time, Lord Liu Zongzhou has already gone to the capital to take office, and the official does not dare to continue to delay."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, he did not continue to greet Gan Xuekuo, and accompanied by Hong Xinyu and others, he left the Caoyun Governor's Mansion and went straight to Nanjing.

Gan Xuekuo took office, Zheng Xunrui should also set up a banquet to express his welcome, and at the same time briefly talk about the situation of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, at least let Gan Xuekuo know in his heart, but Gan Xuekuo has already put on a posture in front, Zheng Xunrui will not give a good face, he should participate in the handover matter, but there is nothing to do if he does not participate in Gan Xuekuo.

In such a situation, it will take a lot of time for Gan Xuekuo to just familiarize himself with the situation.

Zheng Xunrui left the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, Gan Xuekuo's face was gloomy, and he didn't go to see him off.

Just came to Huai'an, originally wanted to be able to show his authority, but he encountered a blow to the head, Zheng Xunrui is the crown prince, the secretary of the Nanjing military department, the counselor of the machine, from the grade of a product, according to the rules of the imperial court, is his superior, and the Nanjing military department is still the book can ask about Caoyun, if you really encounter any problems, the Caoyun Governor's Office should also write a document to Nanjing at the same time as reporting to the imperial court.

Gan Xuekuo is not thinking about playing music, if there is no conversation with the emperor, he will never do this, he knows the rules of officialdom, when he takes office in a new place, he must be low-key, and being high-profile often means asking for trouble.

But Gan Xuekuo has no choice, he doesn't dare to keep a low profile, since the emperor can put forward strict requirements, then he must have Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi by his side, once his performance is not good, these situations will be quickly passed on to the emperor, and what will happen next, Gan Xuekuo dare not think.

The moment Zheng Xunrui left, Gan Xuekuo regretted it a little, in fact, he walked around Huai'an Wharf and Huai'an Mansion City, and saw the rich situation of Huai'an, he had too much emotion in his heart, when he was in the capital, he also heard about the wealth of Huaibei, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and it is impossible to govern Huaibei so richly without ordinary ability.

However, such thoughts were quickly swept away, Gan Xuekuo knew his responsibilities, he believed that he could complete the tasks assigned by the emperor, govern Huaibei well, and ensure the smooth flow of Cao Yun. (To be continued......)
