Cao Fu was very angry, and finally got the opportunity to spend a "good" time with Xin Yaoqin, the Oiran lady on the Qinhuai River, who would have thought that he would be blocked by a boat.

It was the big boat on the other side, blocking the river, and it was clear that he didn't want him to pass.

"Boy, it looks like someone is provoking you! ......" Cao Fu was very annoyed, and Xin Yaoqin, a famous prostitute he had, was also uncomfortable. As the top Oiran on the Qinhuai River, she has always been held in the palm of her hand, and even Song Meat, the governor of Jiangsu, was polite to her, and she really hasn't been angry until now. Now he is blocked by someone less than a hundred miles away from Nanjing, and he naturally feels bad. Therefore, she wrapped her hands around Cao Fu's neck and easily aroused Cao Fu's anger with Nongnong's soft words.

Men, most of the time, can't stand the provocation of women, especially beautiful women. What's more, Cao Fu himself also felt that the big ship was raising his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, Yaoqin'er, see how this son cleans up these things that don't have long eyes!" The prostitutes who are a little famous on the Qinhuai River like to pose as talented women to show their identity. The higher the value, the more vulgar behavior is despised and the less easily it is to make out with men. Xin Yaoqin, as an Oiran, has been wrapped up by Cao Fu for so many days, and took out tens of thousands of taels of silver from this unjust boss, which made him more enthusiastic.

"Then the slave family is waiting to see you show your might!" Hearing Cao Fu's words, Xin Yaoqin turned around and entered the cabin, and as she walked, she gently threw a wink, which caused another burst of heat in the man's belly.

"There are beauties waiting for you, of course my son can't be a bad seed. …… Yaoqin'er, wait for me! Pinched Xin Yaoqin's round chin with his hand, and Cao Fu proudly "set out". I saw him walk to the deck of the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, his head held high, and his face grim. And then...... It's wilted!

A personal soldier of Wei Dongting appeared on the opposite boat.

Since the Wei and Cao families both live in Nanjing, and they are both "informants" sent by Kangxi to Jiangnan, the relationship is naturally not shallow. Therefore, Wei Dongting, who has always rarely walked around with the magistrates, went to Cao's house a lot of times. And Cao Fu, as the son of the Cao family, still knows a few of the personal soldiers that Wei Dongting often brings with him. This one that appeared on the opposite boat happened to be one.

……

"Young Master Cao, our handsome shore is invited!"

The soldier shouted at Cao Fu.

Wei ...... Uncle Wei here? Cao Fu asked in a trembling voice. Hearing the soldiers shouting like this, his mood had fallen to the bottom. Cao Yin is also one of Kangxi's companions, can write poems, is good at lyrics and songs, and is known as the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although it is an exaggeration, it does belong to the ranks of talented people. And it is precisely because of this that Cao Yin's family has brought some scholarly colors, he came out with a large sum of money to prostitute this time, if Cao Yin knows, under the family rules, he will have to be beaten half to death.

"Boy, what's wrong? Do you know the person on the other side? Xin Yaoqin also saw that something was wrong with the situation, and couldn't help but send Yahuan out of the cabin and asked.

"Go back to the cabin, it's none of your business here!" Cao Fu frowned. He suddenly felt that Xin Yaoqin's people and boats were so annoying.

"Master Cao, the handsome man is on the shore, please get off the boat!" The soldier shouted at Cao Fu again.

"Yes, yes, please wait a minute, Uncle Wei! I'm going to call the boat docking! ”

Admit it!

The several big families sent by Kangxi to Jiangnan, although they have formed a mansion, in terms of the big face, they have always looked at Wei Dongting. Now, since Wei Dongting is waiting on the shore, if you want to live comfortably in the future, it is better to be honest and obedient.

Therefore, Cao Fu obediently ordered the boatman to dock!

……

********

Ma De's life in Tongcheng was not bad. With the respect of the governor, of course, he could not visit a single person, and in the Qing Dynasty, there was never a so-called celebrity who could have this face. Therefore, he went to Tongcheng in the name of "inspection", and by the way, he invited more influential scholars in the Tongcheng area to "chat", among them, Fang Bao, who was standing in his old age, and Zhang Tinglu, who was in the age of youth.

To deal with these people, Mader's method is the same, smash!

Smash with a high hat, smash with a big hat, smash with a big "righteousness......

Although many of these people are also very good, who told them to read the "book of sages", and Ma De is condescending, in the name of having a province to reverence. Therefore, most of these people were smashed down by Ma De, and many of them were happily knocked down.

Of course, Ma De's promise to build a "Tongcheng Academy" in Tongcheng within a few years is also one of the important reasons for this person's favor.

And after smoothly resolving these things, Ma De also turned back to Anqing.

A month is not a long time, and the day he set is almost up, and the prefects of all prefectures headed by Zhang Kai and the prefects of Zhizhou have also gathered in Anqing. Wang Weihe and other businessmen have also quietly sent people to hand over the "answers" of their group to the governor's yamen...... The businessmen were silent about it.

"Excellent! Everyone delivered the things according to the rules of the official! Benfu was very satisfied......"

Still in the Fuya Hall, Ma De met with the seven prefects and governors again.

"Lord Futai has an order, how dare the officials and others slack off? I only hope that the families of the lower officials can also satisfy Lord Futai! ......" Hearing Ma De's words, Zhang Kai led everyone to him and said.

"Haha, it's useless to be satisfied!" Mader laughed.

“…… Lord Futai, what do you mean by this? Zhang Kai asked.

"It's not interesting. Ben Fu once said to the dozens of county commanders that they would be promoted if they did a good job, and they would be dismissed if they didn't do well. However, if those officials are eager for quick success, trying to be promoted in a moment, and in the end they want their successors to buy it, won't Ben Fu lift a stone and drop it on his own feet? Therefore, Benfu wants everyone to plan carefully, after all, it is better to have a plan for everything than nothing. It also saves some of the officials under your jurisdiction from looking only at today and not at the future. …… In other words, your answers to these questionnaires will depend on whether you can make the people under your jurisdiction live a little better after they are implemented. Mader replied.

"Your Excellency is far ahead, the lower officials can't wait!" Zhang Kai and others replied.

"Don't talk about these nonsense. This answer sheet of yours will be kept, but Benfu will not read these things for the time being. You don't have to do what is written above. Make a charter, come step by step, and don't rush. …… If you do a good job at that time, Benfu will naturally not be disadvantaged. These answers are actually a reference that Benfu intends to use to consider your political achievements in the future......" Ma De added.

"......", and was put on the spot by the governor again! Regarding Ma De's words, Zhang Kai and the others, you look at me, I look at you, they all have a bitter smile. It's not that they're afraid of what Ma De will do to them, the meaning of Ma De's words is very clear, do their part well, and let the people under their rule live comfortably, even if they pass. Moreover, Ma De did not ask them to "sign and draw" like those county orders, which can be regarded as saving face for them. However, when they thought that they had written something for Ma De by hand, and it was one of the things that Ma De would use to consider himself in the future, Zhang Kai and the others still felt a little like they had lifted a stone and hit their feet.

"By the way, Ben Fu just went to Tongcheng, and he was thinking about one thing along the way. …… Ladies and gentlemen, where is the poorest place in Anhui? Mader asked again.

……

"My lord, the poorest place is probably Yingshang County in Fengyang Mansion, to which the lower officials belong!" Li Liang said. The others watched him open his mouth and put away their words. Fengyang is the largest and poorest prefecture in Anhui, which is recognized, so the poorest county in Li Yankou, if not the poorest in Anhui, is almost the same.

"That's good! Li Scale, your prefect's yamen will move to Ying first, how about it? Mader asked.

"Moved to Yingshang?" Li Yan swallowed.

"That's right! Would you like to? Mader asked again.

"My lord, of course I don't want to!" Li Liang glanced at Ma De, and said, "However, since you have given the order, the lower officials will obey the order!" ”

"Hehe, that's true! Don't worry, Benfu won't force you, you can go if you want, don't pull down. However, if you want to go, you can remember it to Ben Fu, and you are not allowed to go there to build a large number of buildings, and then repair your prefect's yamen. Got it? ......" said Mader.

"Know! My lord, you know what you mean! Li Liang replied depressedly. It's miserable enough to be the prefect in Fengyang, and you have to go to the poorest county there to run errands...... He had already begun to feel that his acquaintance with Mader was a mistake in his life. Good things didn't come to pass, but there was no shortage of bad luck.

"Lord Futai, the lower officials are also willing to move the yamen to the poorest county under their rule." Ma De's meaning can be understood as long as he thinks about it, isn't going to the poorest county just so that a few of you can set an example? Although Ma Deming said "no force" on his face, since he has already opened his mouth, what else can a few prefects and governors say?

"Hehe......" Seeing these officials talking like this, Ma De smiled and was about to speak, but saw a personal soldier come over and handed him a greeting sticker. He took it and looked at it, only to see that it read:

"Foolish Wei Dongting Xun Mu is under the command of Master Ma."
