Before Gu Menglin and Cao Chi left Huai'an to take office, Zheng Xunrui prepared a banquet for them alone.

In the eyes of others, places such as Jinzhou and Fuzhou are dangerous places, and ordinary people are reluctant to go, Gu Menglin's identity is to lift people, and Cao Chi is even more gifted, and he can serve as the governor of Wupin, which is already a strange news in the imperial court, but the appointment of the two did not cause any surprises, I am afraid it is also related to the special form of Jinzhou and Fuzhou.

Gu Menglin and Cao Chi are scholars, since they are scholars, then there must be feelings of loyalty in their hearts, Zheng Xunrui cannot erase them all in a short period of time, it is unrealistic, fortunately, in Fuzhou, Jinzhou and Lushun and other places, all of them are directly controlled by Yang He, after Gu Menglin and Cao Chi took office, they are mainly acting in terms of people's livelihood, no matter what kind of ideas the two have, and no matter whether there will be someone behind them, neither of them can fundamentally influence the situation in Fuzhou and Jinzhou.

From this aspect, Zheng Xunrui does not need to worry too much.

There is also a reality, a very cruel reality, Gu Menglin and Cao Chi went to Fuzhou and Jinzhou to serve as governors, then their fate is in the hands of Zheng Xunrui, if they don't get Zheng Xunrui's recommendation and attention, I'm afraid they will stay in Fuzhou and Jinzhou, this is because their capital is not enough, their education is not enough, it is completely because of Zheng Xunrui's recommendation.

At the banquet, Zheng Xunrui told the two openly and honestly that after going to Fuzhou and Jinzhou, they must adapt measures to local conditions, these places have been controlled by the Houjin Tartars for several years, and the people have suffered a lot of humiliation, and everything the government does must be in the interests of the Zheng family, after all, this is still the front line, and they are always facing the fight with the Houjin Tartars.

At the end of the banquet. Zheng Xunrui gave each of them a letter, which contained suggestions on how to manage government affairs in Jinzhou and Fuzhou, which can also be said to be orders and requirements.

The position Gu Menglin once held was very important, the head of the warehouse. Although it is said that it is only the grade of the eighth grade, the head of the warehouse is in charge of many warehouses, and now these warehouses have really played a role, all of them store grain, and after the start of the transportation. Warehouses should also be constantly storing and transporting grain.

The edict of the Ministry of Officials was that Bo Yu, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the head of the warehouse.

When Bo Yu came to Huai'an, he was not in charge of warehousing, but had more important responsibilities and tasks.

After thinking about it again, Zheng Xunrui decided to let Wen Kun temporarily manage the warehousing matters.

Wen Kun's ability has been fully revealed, as the head of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, he has done a good job assisting Xu Wanghua in managing the affairs of the six rooms. What's more important is that there is a very special relationship between Zheng Xunrui and Wen Kun, which can be described as both prosperity and loss, Wen Kun is very aware of this, so when doing things, he is upright and knows how to maneuver, and handles all things well, which makes Zheng Xunrui very satisfied, so Zheng Xunrui decided to give Wen Kun the courage to let Wen Kun actually be responsible for warehousing.

Zheng Xunrui does not have many henchmen that he can fully trust, and the direction in which he does things is slowly beginning to change. How to select and employ people has become very important.

On February 25, John Tang went to the Caoyun Governor's Mansion to take office.

The arrival of John Tong still aroused some curiosity in the Governor's Palace.

When Tang Ruowang, who had blue eyes, white skin, and long curly hair, appeared in front of Zheng Xunrui, Zheng Xunrui was also a little emotional. Today's Da Ming, speaking of standing on the top of the world, does not have much worship for foreigners, on the contrary, there is a hint of contempt, which is completely different from hundreds of years later, John Tang is a missionary. In order to promote Catholicism, he came to Daming thousands of miles away, and suffered a lot of setbacks during the period, if it were not for Xu Guangqi's attention, I am afraid that it would be difficult to enter the territory of Daming now, let alone do things in Qintianjian.

Foreigners' ideas are very direct, and they are straightforward in doing things, which has a certain relationship with their growth environment, although John Tang has been in Daming for many years and speaks fluent Chinese, some qualities will not change much.

After meeting the young Zheng Xunrui, John Tang saluted according to the etiquette of the imperial court.

Why did he come to Huai'an, Tang Ruowang may not particularly understand, in the Qin Tianjian period, Tang Ruowang's main responsibility is academic research, Chongzhen seven years, "Chongzhen Almanac" compiled, which has Tang Ruowang's hard work, this is a series of books about the astronomical calendar, involving the knowledge of numbers, calculations and magic instruments, etc., these knowledge, and mathematics, physics and even chemistry knowledge are closely related, the Ming Dynasty lacks talents in this area.

It took more than ten days for John Tang to come to Huai'an, and that was because he brought his family members to take office.

John Tang's wife is a Ming woman, which also makes John Tang more integrated into the Ming court.

After a simple greeting, Zheng Xunrui made a straightforward request.

"Master Tang, this official doesn't want you to worry about the affairs of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, these things are very complicated, and they are not suitable for you to do, when you were in Qintianjian, you were engaged in academic research, came to Huai'an, or engaged in the old business, this official has some information here, there are some experiences of this official, you take a closer look at these materials, this official gives you half a month's time, if you have any experience, you can discuss with this official at any time."

"This official knows that you are a Catholic, and the original intention of coming to Daming was to promote Catholicism, but after so many years, you are already a court official, this matter of promoting Catholicism, or put it aside for the time being, Daming is not as good as the West, many etiquette and etiquette are different, you should understand the sentence of following the customs."

"The official hopes that you will read these materials carefully, after reading the materials, you will probably understand what to do, you don't have to worry about life, your income is not high, but the Caoyun Governor's Mansion will have a certain subsidy, enough for you to maintain your family, this official hopes that you will not be stumped by other mundane things, and study these materials wholeheartedly."

Tang Ruowang was very surprised, in fact, he knew Zheng Xunrui for a long time, this legendary official of the Ming Dynasty, was once a student of Xu Guangqi, before Xu Guangqi died, he specifically talked about Zheng Xunrui, and asked Tang Ruowang to go to Zheng Xunrui's side to do things when the time was ripe.

John Tang took a few thick letters.

"The lower officials must do things according to the instructions of the adults, but I don't know how to deal with this little thing."

"It's still necessary, the Caoyun Governor's Mansion has made room for you, you concentrate on reading these materials, the next step, wait until you have seen these materials, and the official will discuss with you."

A day later, Bo Yu also went to Huai'an to take office.

Bo Yu is actually a craftsman, because he is proficient in the development of firearms, and is willing to study, so he was recommended to the imperial court, but the identity of the craftsman, so that Bo Yu is not valued at all, the craftsman is regarded as an indecent person, Bo Yu can serve as the deputy envoy of the military department from Jiupin, or because the identity of the person who recommended him is very good.

It's a pity that after arriving in the capital, Bo Yu's talent has no place to display, he thought that the imperial court would attach importance to the development of firearms, but he didn't know that the development of firearms was regarded as three religions and nine streams by the people of the court, which made Bo Yu have no world to display.

In addition, the officials in the imperial court, almost all of them were scholars, and they were in a group with each other, Bo Yu came to the capital, he was an outlier, he had no friends, and naturally he couldn't get the so-called Bing Jing and Tan Jing.

This time, when he went to the Caoyun Governor's Mansion and served as the head of the warehouse of Bapin, it can be said that he turned over.

Therefore, after receiving the edict from the ministry, Bo Yu made all the preparations and left the capital with his family.

When he came to the Caoyun Governor's Mansion and saw Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Caoyun, Bo Yu was very surprised.

You must know that Zheng Xunrui has just been crowned as the crown prince Shaobao, and his status is extremely noble, and he is the champion of the palace examination, and he has made great contributions, and he is a pivotal figure in the court.

Just when Bo Yucheng saluted in fear, Zheng Xunrui had already observed Bo Yu very carefully.

This is a middle-aged man who is overwhelmed by life and has some inferiority, perhaps he has suffered too much tempering in the capital, so that his talent has been almost worn out.

Zheng Xunrui was a little distressed, and more helpless.

"Lord Bo, the Ministry appointed you as the head of the warehouse, but you don't need to worry about this warehousing matter for the time being."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, Bo Yu's eyes only dimmed, and he didn't show anything else.

"This official has other tasks entrusted to you, this official speaks very directly, I hope you don't mind, you used to be a craftsman, you must know a lot of skilled craftsmen, after you come to Huai'an, the first duty is to find skilled craftsmen, must be involved in the production of firearms craftsmen, as for how these people will be placed in the future, you don't have to worry, when recruiting them, you can promise them that it is completely possible to worry about food and clothing."

"The official gives you ten days, and after ten days, the official needs to see the results, and as for what to do next, the official will tell you directly when the time comes."

"Your family lives in the inn, the official has sent someone to take them to the official post, you don't have to worry about the life of your family, the official will arrange a special person to make arrangements, as for your money, the official has also considered it, and will give you a subsidy of ten taels of silver every month, with this silver, you and your family can live a good life."

Bo Yu was stunned for a moment, and habitually prepared to salute.

Zheng Xunrui waved his hand.

"Master Bo, your responsibilities are very heavy, and the official has high hopes for you, I hope you won't disappoint the official." (To be continued.) )
