At the end of May of the twentieth year of Chenghua, for the sake of state affairs, Fang Yingwu said goodbye to his family, postponed the marriage again, and had to set off for the south. If it is placed in the 21 st century, Fang Qincha can make a touching report on advanced deeds.

With them were still Wang Ying and Fang Yingshi, both of whom were sent this time, and they didn't feel hard to send them this time, and they were very eager to try.

First, you can go back to your hometown in Chun'an County, and you can go back as a retinue. The two of them have been mixed with Fang Yingwu for many years, and they can be regarded as successful people in the mountain village, and when they have the opportunity to return to their hometowns, they can't hold back their mood, and they just can't wait to fly back to show off.

The second is that the Qincha is majestic, and the entourage of the Qincha is naturally rising, which is much more refreshing than in the capital where there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries everywhere. Anyway, there is a headache for a smart person like Brother Qiu, and Zidu once said, do those who work hard govern people.

In addition, according to the rules, Qin was not allowed to bring family women with him when he traveled, so Fang Yingwu had no choice but to extinguish his intention of secretly digging up Sun Xiaoniang from Wang Zhi.

According to the specific situation of this dispatch, the pedestrian division sent six subordinates. After agreeing on the time and meeting the subordinates, Fang Qincha and his entourage went out of the city from Chongwenmen to the Zhangjiawan Wharf in Tongzhou, where there was naturally a post station ready for ships.

Since the crossing, Fang Yingwu has gone back and forth between the north and the south twice, but this time the south is the most comfortable. As a Qincha enjoys the treatment of galloping, there are post stations responsible for travel, accommodation, and food affairs along the way, and the post stations everywhere certainly do not dare to neglect Qincha, and the arrangements are proper.

Some magistrates who like to travel, or who have a relationship with the Fang family, also come forward to entertain them. Fang Yingwu had to entertain a few times, and the host and guest were all happy.

A month later, they arrived at the Yangtze River. After crossing the river from Guazhou, he entered the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River. That is, the boundary that Fang Yingwu was responsible for this dispatch.

Then the enthusiasm of the magistrates suddenly rose tenfold and hundredfold, and every county along the way was extremely enthusiastic. However, Fang Daqin changed his style when he was in Jiangbei, and only lived in a post station in Jiangnan, and did not agree to various invitations once, and none of the local officials were seen.

After a few days, he arrived in Suzhou Mansion and stayed at Hushuguan outside the city at night. It is located in the key point of the canal, and is one of the eight major tax customs in the world, and there is a post station in the pass. But after Fang Yingwu arrived. Hushuguan Ambassador Huang Anguo personally came forward to arrange accommodation.

When the food was served, Ambassador Huang asked Fang Yingwu: "The lower officials dare to ask, is Fang Shizhi going to enter Suzhou City tomorrow?" ”

Fang Yingwu replied without hesitation: "If you don't enter the city, this official will continue to take the boat south, and go straight to Chun'an County, without delaying time along the way." ”

Ambassador Huang hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly: "That's right, when Fang Shiyi passes by Fengqiao tomorrow, it's best not to be publicistic and stay. Fast passage is. ”

Fang Yingwu frowned, and asked rhetorically: "Guan Yin's words are not very understandable, could it be that there is something wrong here?" Ambassador Huang replied, "The lower officials have learned that a group of scholars want to gather at Fengqiao by boat. I want to stop the clamor of the chincha. ”

Fang Yingwu was furious and said: "This generation dares to do this!" ”

Ambassador Huang sighed, "Xiaguan Hushu has been closed for many years. I know that Suzhou scholars have always been famous for their madness, and there are many people. Gathering crowds to make trouble is commonplace, what is there not to dare? The magistrates had to be kind enough to soothe him. It's better to be careful. ”

Fang Yingwu knew that what Huang Guanyin said was true. Fortunately when the founding of the country was founded, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the morale of Jiangnan scholars was indeed like this, there was no one in heaven and earth who did not dare to scold, and sometimes the officials were besieged and could only consider themselves unlucky.

He glanced at Ambassador Huang a few times, "Thank you Huang Guanyin for reminding me, this kindness has been written down by the official, but what does this scholar want to make noise about to contain the official?" ”

Ambassador Huang replied truthfully: "The adults are responsible for supervising the dispatch of grain, and in their eyes, it is naturally a place to loot and exploit. Suzhou has heavy taxes, and scholars have always complained a lot about the imperial court, and the adults who were ordered to come to supervise the grain naturally added fuel to the fire. ”

Fang Yingwu snorted coldly and said: "There is no king's law, ignoring the overall situation, how can you rule the country and level the world by studying like this!" ”

The truth of such a high realm has nothing to do with Huang Anguo, the little ambassador of the Nine Grades Tax Customs. He fulfilled his duty to remind, and he received the gratitude of the Qincha, even if he completed the task.

Seeing Ambassador Huang leave, Fang Yingwu was thoughtful, and the behavior of this group of scholars reflected from a deep level that the "people" of Suzhou clearly did not welcome themselves.

First, as Huang Guanyin said, no one likes people who come to collect their own money; The second is that when my grandfather was engaged in tax reform in Suzhou, he was a dog-headed military advisor and a drummer, and the big families in Suzhou did not have a good impression;

The third is that he is a well-known Qingtian, and his maternal grandfather is Wang Shu. Of course, such an "upright" official will be iron-faced and selfless, which will make the big households in Jiangnan very "worried".

Fourth, he has a poor relationship with the Suzhou scholars, and Wang Wei, an old Huang Li, does not mention it, saying that he was young and frivolous, and humiliated and suppressed Wang Quan, Zhu Yunming, Yang Xunji, and Du Mu, the outstanding representatives of the younger generation of Suzhou scholars, were all trampled on by themselves and could not take care of themselves.

Of course, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been sent to Jiangnan to be sent to the south of the Yangtze River to know that it was difficult to do it, but I didn't expect that I hadn't officially entered Suzhou City, but I just encountered a problem after passing by once.

After thinking of the worst, Fang Yingwu sighed, it would be extremely unwise for a person to quarrel with a group of people and still be away, so if he really encountered a road blockage tomorrow, he would have to act at the opportunity.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Hushuguan arranged a boat for Fang Qincha, and arrived at the famous Fengqiao in less than half a day.

It is a transportation hub, from here it turns west in the direction of Suzhou City, and south along the canal to continue south. But I saw that the boats and boats on the water here are dense, and the loading of goods is like hemp, which is worthy of being the most prosperous place in the world!

As the ship moved slowly, suddenly six or seven ships of various sizes left the shore and gradually gathered in front of the ship and to the left and right.

Wang Ying came out of the cabin and shouted: "Who are you waiting for, dare to stop Qincha's car!" ”

There was a scholar in a wide robe and big sleeves standing on the bow of the boat opposite, clasping his fists in salute, but his words were not very polite: "We are all Suzhou scholars, and we have the courage to ask Lord Qincha a few words!" ”

Wang Ying's face was angry, and he opened his mouth to reprimand: "Where did you come from, you don't understand the rules so much, you dare to ask questions to Qincha?" Don't get out of the way yet! ”

There were two or three people on each of the six or seven boats, and when they heard this, they all made a noise and said: "Jiangnan Shixin is here, Lord Qincha is hiding in the cabin, don't you dare to come forward to see it!" ”

Wang Ying said sharply: "Say it again!" The Qin Cha is not an ordinary official, but a local patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, with a noble position and noble etiquette! If you can't wait for a scholar in the middle of the market, what qualifications do you have to make noise here? ”

It's good that Wang Ying didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, it obviously provoked this group of negative readers to blush and have thick necks.

Although he was not wrong in what he said, he really looked domineering when he said it at this time, and he didn't pay attention to these readers in front of him at all. What's more, most of those who dare to stop officials here are arrogant. (To be continued......)

PS: I encountered a power outage from my cheating father, and there was no call until now, so I had to come out with my notebook to find a place to upload. From today onwards, the chores will be temporarily closed, and concentrate on the code word!
