Chapter 258: One Year
There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.
Hangzhou is famous for its beautiful environment and beautiful women.
In particular, after the scholars of Suzhou University ordered people to re-dredge the West Lake, and used the excavated mud to pile up a long causeway across the north and south, this West Lake has become a landmark beauty in Hangzhou, and there is an endless stream of people who visit and raft every day.
"Sure enough, if you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate!' ”
On a small boat, two people sat in the canopy, playing against each other, and one of them casually glanced at the lake outside, and couldn't help but let out a few sighs of emotion.
These two people were Bai Qing, who was the governor of Hangzhou at the time, and Ye Yufeng, who was appointed as his think tank.
"What's going on in Manichaeism these days?"
While falling quickly, Bai Qing asked in a deep voice to Ye Yufeng.
"These days, they are busy dealing with the offensive of that General Yue, where is there still the spare strength to infiltrate our Hangzhou side, compared to last month, there are many fewer Manichaean believers captured!" Ye Yufeng pondered for a moment, also left a son, and then replied to Bai Qing.
After a pause, before Bai Qing had fallen, he raised his head to look at Bai Qing again, frowned and said: "But it has been such a long time, and there are not a few Manichaean believers who have accumulated, and most of them are missionary missions, they are faithful believers, and they are deeply bewitched, and it will be difficult for us to turn them around for a while!" ”
"Can't the ones that Senior Sister prepared before be put to use?" After hearing Ye Yufeng's words, Bai Qing's brows also wrinkled slightly. Asked suspiciously.
"Although Madame has always been very attentive during this time, it was not achieved overnight. I'm afraid it's going to take a little longer! Ye Yufeng replied in a deep voice.
"Well, then I'll go back and discuss it with Senior Sister!" Bai Qing frowned. Slowly falling a cloud, he said lightly.
"Official, come out and take a look, Luo'er just shouted 'Daddy'!"
While they were discussing, a voice full of surprise suddenly came from outside the canopy.
"Huh? I'll be right here! After hearing that voice, Bai Qing's face first had a look of astonishment, and then quickly turned into ecstasy, and he didn't even have time to say hello to Ye Yufeng in front of him, so he hurriedly got up. Towards the outside of the canopy, perhaps because of a hurry, when he got up, he knocked down the chessboard in front of him, and Yunzi suddenly scattered to the ground, and when Ye Yufeng came back to his senses, Bai Qing was already gone, his eyes were wide at first, and he looked stunned. After a while, he shook his head a little speechlessly: "I know that your chess skills are not very good, but it doesn't matter if you admit defeat once, why bother using these small means." O my great officials! ”
Outside the canopy, Bai Qing's eyes widened with joy, and he hugged a round little body tightly. At this time, she was opening her little mouth, and she was crying out in a milky voice: "Daddy." Daddy......"
Maybe she just made such a sound unconsciously, but it was still Bai Qing who was holding her. After two bursts of laughter, he suddenly burst into tears.
And beside Bai Qing, a slender woman in a pink robe, seeing Bai Qing's excited appearance, the face full of quiet charm, also showed a chuckle, it was Li Qingzhao, who was called "Li Yi'an".
What Bai Qing was holding in her arms was the daughter she gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy to Bai Qing - Bai Luo, Luo, the god of Luoshui!
At this time, more than a year has passed since Bai Qing Chu arrived in Hangzhou.
In the past year or so, Bai Qing's life has been colorful, and after coming to Hangzhou, he also faced various battles in the officialdom.
For this young Zhizhou lord, most of the magistrates below are quite unconvinced, especially many people's age, which is enough to be a white father, when they think of such a young man, they actually become their own officials, they naturally have a lot of guilt in their hearts.
The new official took office with three fires, and Bai Qing used a little means to suppress the most hostile Hangzhou Tongju, and immediately shocked them all, feeling Bai Qing's thunderous means of killing and decisiveness, and those magistrates also became obedient.
As for the Hangzhou General Judgment, after losing in the hands of Bai Qing repeatedly, he had to lie dormant temporarily.
For a while, Bai Qing was in Hangzhou, and it could be regarded as a mixed affair.
Hangzhou has always been an important commercial distribution center in the south of the Yangtze River, and is also the main source of taxes for the entire Great Qi, and at the time of the Bai Qing Dynasty's tenure, its population has reached more than 200,000 households, making it one of the most populous prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. The economy is prosperous, the textile, printing, winemaking, and paper industries are relatively developed, and foreign trade is further developed, and it is one of the four major commercial ports in the country.
Under Bai Qing's governance, especially many of his advanced concepts and consciousness, in just one year, this important commercial port has once again had a hint of leapfrog development.
However, this period of time made him a little worried, the battlefield of the Zhenmanbei Army and Fang La, led by Huai Ninghou and the general Yue Fei of Guide, had gradually spread towards Hangzhou, and since the end of last year, it has been continuously discovered that Manichaeans have infiltrated the territory of Hangzhou to preach.
Fortunately in the city, most of the people here live relatively well-off and have a relatively high level of knowledge, so they naturally will not be idle to follow the rebellion, but in the rural villages under the jurisdiction of the counties, there are more restless factors.
After noticing this, Bai Qing immediately launched a carpet search in the entire Hangzhou territory, and at the same time launched a carpet search, capturing a lot of Manichaeans, all of whom were escorted to Hangzhou City, the seat of Hangzhou, for custody, and at the same time, Bai Qing and Ye Yufeng also began to try their best to convert these believers who were brainwashed by Manichaeism.
Of course, it is obviously impossible to convince these sect members who have been deeply poisoned with only three inches of incorruptible tongue, but Bai Qing is also an unusual person, the sword goes sideways, and one day when he was with Master Li, he inexplicably thought of a sentence in his mind, "Where do the jade people teach!" Suddenly an idea came to mind.
After convincing Master Li, Bai Qing immediately summoned all the magistrates of Hangzhou, and asked them to collect a group of Qing people to send them to the city of Hangzhou, and in the midst of everyone's seemingly extremely absurd looks, let Master Li lead these Qing people to start rehearsing dramas, and the repertoire was some popular in later generations "The Legend of the White Snake", "Liang Zhu" and so on.
Later, with the help of Li Shishi and Li Qingzhao, Bai Qing changed some of the meanings to it, and then Li Shishi organized those Qing people to rehearse, and then continued to tour back and forth in various counties in Hangzhou, on the one hand, to teach those villagers not to believe in Manichaean propaganda, on the other hand, this method of passing guò also made many Manichaean believers begin to change their concepts.
It's just getting started, but it's just beginning to take shape.
When Bai Qing took Li Qingzhao and Bai Luo, a family of three was enjoying themselves on the boat, he suddenly saw a small boat coming towards him quickly, and when he was not far from him, a figure jumped high, almost contrary to the theorems of physics, and came towards his own ship, and then in the eyes of everyone, he landed on the boat steadily, as if it was light, and the hull of the boat only shook slightly, with a faint ripple.
"Official!"
The figure walked quickly in front of Bai Qing, and then clasped his fists and saluted.
The only one who can have this light skill is the "flea on the valley".
The so-called "one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", after Bai Qing came to this Hangzhou Ren Zhizhou, those henchmen around him also had their own chances, and Shi Qian was also awarded a loose official by Chengxinlang, although the official position is not big, and there is no rank, but in the end, it is also considered to be an official body, he is also very satisfied, and he is also determined to follow Bai Qing's mind.
With Bai Qing coming to Hangzhou, Shi Qian was also responsible for the work of the guards around Bai Qing, and in the past year or so, he has secretly cultivated a group of guards with unique skills for him, and at the same time, under Bai Qing's instructions, he began to form his own intelligence source network, which is highly valued by Bai Qing.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Shi Qian's hurried look, thinking that something must have happened, Bai Qing handed Bai Luo in his arms to Li Qingzhao's hand, and then came to Shi Qian's front and asked him in a deep voice.
Shi Qian came to Bai Qing and whispered to him for a few minutes, and when he heard Shi Qian's words, Bai Qing's brows suddenly wrinkled slightly.
After Shi Qian finished speaking, Bai Qing waved at Shi Qian: "Okay, I already know, you go back first, pay attention to this matter, and if there is any news, tell me as soon as possible!" ”
After Shi Qian saluted Bai Qing, the whole person retreated backwards, and after coming to the side of the boat, he jumped high and returned to his own boat, and soon disappeared from view.
Bai Qing took a deep breath, then beckoned to the boatman, and only after the boatman came respectfully in front of him did he sigh lightly and said to the boatman: "Start the boat, go back to the shore!" ”
The boatman knew very well that the person in front of him was the famous Lord Zhizhou, so he naturally did not dare to slack off on Bai Qing's orders, and hurriedly began to prop up the oars and row the boat.
"What's wrong? What happened? Seeing Bai Qing standing in front of the boat, as if he was preoccupied, Li Qingzhao hugged Bai Luo tightly, first stroked Bai Qing's frowning brow, and then asked softly.
Seeing Li Qingzhao's worried look, Bai Qing exhaled deeply, and then put on a wry smile, and then said to Li Qingzhao as if he was a little helpless: "Just now, there was news from Shiqian that Yue Fei is coming!" ”
Hearing Bai Qing's words, Li Qingzhao suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly......
