Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 612
Although Zhang Ren strongly dissuaded him, Gao Yushi finally decided to visit the Bazhai area in person.

Of course, Gao Yushi is also afraid of death, especially for the relatively incomprehensible mysterious means of "Gu".

But even if you don't go deep into Bazhai for on-the-spot investigation, at least you can get Liuzhou Mansion.To the west of Liuzhou Mansion is the Bazhai area. If you pass through Bazhai and continue westward, you will be in the north of Si'en Mansion.

Gao Wushi still dared to go if he only went to Liuzhou Mansion.After all, the Liuzhou government has two Guangxi officials, one civil and one military, who are "deputy envoy of Liuzhou Qingyuan Sien, who is in charge of the right of the river" and "general of Liu Qingyou, who is in charge of Guangxi". The security should be relatively guaranteed.

However, although Gao Yushi was very anxious to go, the fact was that he still couldn't make the trip the next day.The first is that he will go through a cutscene today, first pay a visit to Zhang Ren, and then receive a large number of Guangxi officials who came to pay a visit to him in the procuratorate.The second is the reliance on his own travel - the three hundred family members also need to rest and make various preparations for marching in the southern region before they can travel.

As for the guard of honor for patrolling the censor, and the guards and horses equipped for him in Guangxi, they must also be prepared.

In the end, although Gao Wushi, who knew that Zhang's appointment was not long, was very anxious, it was delayed until the third day before he was able to set off from Guilin Mansion and headed southwest all the way.

He said he was going in a hurry, but he didn't go anywhere soon, even if he himself gave up his sedan chair and rode a horse instead, it was useless, because his three hundred family members had horses, and the accompanying guard of honor and the five guards sent by the Guangxi guards had horses. All the soldiers of Baiwei had no horses, so they could only walk all the way.

It's okay to walk, this group of people walked slowly, which made Gao Yushi angry.

This is not over, there are even more troublesome things, because Gao Wushi has to go through five inspection departments along the way: Tonggu City Inspection Department (market city), Lanma Town Inspection Department, Chang'an Town Inspection Department, Ping Lezhen Inspection Department, Dongquan Town Inspection Department, and two counties: Yongfu County and Liucheng County.

The five inspection departments of these two counties are all set up by the imperial court. When the inspector masters who have just assumed the new position pass by, how dare they neglect them, and they all treat them as top priorities. Reception, making Gao Pragmatic take the trouble.But this is a characteristic of officialdom. The so-called stretching out your hand and not hitting people with smiling faces is not easy to get angry if you are highly pragmatic.

Fortunately, the rank of the inspection department is low, and Gao Yushi is a dignified inspector, so he can stop for a while and leave, but when he was in Yongfu County and Liucheng County, because the two county magistrates were both Jinshi, Gao Yushi had to give face. Stayed there overnight.

Hurry up slowly, and finally arrived at Liuzhou Mansion on the third day.

The seat of Liuzhou Prefecture is located in Maping County. On the day when Gao Wushi arrived, Jiang Xin, deputy envoy of Jiangyou, Ni Zhonghua, general of Liu Qing, Ji Yuchun, magistrate of Liuzhou, and Rao Yanghao, magistrate of Maping County, were still there. For example, with a large group of subordinate officials, generals, and more than a thousand officers and troops, they patrolled and drove in the outskirts of Maping County. [I wasted half the night trying to find out the information of these people, what would I say?The "Records of Shenzong" that can be checked is a pure ancient text without even punctuation marks. ]
Now Gao Yushi has experienced some of the majesty of the inspector censor, so this meeting, Gao Yushi's style is more powerful than before.No matter how happy the other party is, or how humble he is to flatter him, Gao Yushi always has a calm face, and occasionally he can show a faint smile to Jiang Xin and Ji Yuchun, even Rao Yanghao, the magistrate of Maping County, who is also a civil servant but came from a family background. Get the highly pragmatic "Slight Smile".

As for Ni Zhonghua, General of Liu Qing, from the first time he saw the three hundred servants beside Gao Wushi, he began to sweat profusely, for fear that Gao Wushi would punish him for the crime of lax military management-this he brought. More than 1000 people, although they have been carefully selected from Liu Qing's army, but here, even people who don't understand soldiers can see the gap between them and the high-level pragmatic servants.

Gao Jiajia Ding had the permission of the emperor to accompany him this time, and naturally he would not use firearms, armor, flags, or golden drums as in the past.

This time when they came out, they were uniformly equipped with the "Longqing Type [-]" muskets that are currently installed by the elites of the Northern Army, and equipped with Yanling swords produced and used by Jinghua Iron Works and a small amount of Zhemu bows. Put on a good half-length cotton armor - you can't wear this thing casually, although in terms of time, it is about to enter late autumn, but this is Liuzhou, Guangxi, and the cotton armor will still be hot to death if you wear it for a long time.

When they were accompanying them on horseback, Liuzhou generals were just astounded at how well the members of the Gao family were treated.Because in this land of Guangxi, the price of horses is not 30 to 60 taels in the north, but 3 to 3 taels for medium horses, and [-] taels for good horses. The three hundred horses in the Gao family seem to be all good horses. A hundred war horses are worth [-] taels of silver!From the first year of Wanli to the eighth year of Wanli in Liuzhou Mansion, the land tax paid in these eight years was just over [-] taels!

Damn your mother, hey, are you here to show off your wealth?
But when they get off the horse, what they show off is not wealth, but military discipline.

Ni Zhonghua is also a person who leads old soldiers. He even fought with Yu Zongrong before (Yu Dayou led troops to Guangxi many times when he was the commander-in-chief of Guangdong). All the 30 horses were guarded at one side, while the other 200 people casually lined up in two long lines of two or three on the left and right, and let Gao Zhizhi hit the horses to pass by.

Jiang Xin and others were surprised that Gao Yushi came here on horseback. Although the funny rule that the censors could only ride donkeys during the Hongwu and Yongle years had been replaced long ago, there were not many patrollers in fact. Will choose to ride a horse, everyone is a master of Jinshi from the Jindian Chuanlu, what does it look like to ride a horse, of course it is a sedan chair!
A majestic tour of the province, even the governor and governor will participate if they say so. Isn't it a matter of course to sit in a sedan chair?

What, you mean grade?

Haha, where did you come from, talking about grades with the inspector master, look at the chief envoy from the second rank, if the inspector master is in a bad mood and doesn't say please sit down, he has to stand obediently in front of the inspector master Obedience!grade?
Jiang Xin is the Deputy Envoy. Theoretically speaking, this position is an official under the Superintendent’s Department. Not to mention, so when Gao Wushi came over, before dismounting from his horse, Jiang Xin led a large group of people to meet him and bowed down.

"The next official is to guard the right of the river, the deputy envoy of Liuzhou Qingyuan Si'en, Jiang Xin, etc., see the press table!"

All the officials behind him saluted in unison and said loudly: "See pressing the table!"

Gao Wu said sincerely: It would be great if the soldiers under your command lined up as neatly as you see Shangguan.

On the face, he said indifferently: "Everyone is polite, let's all be excused." After saying that, he turned over casually and jumped off the horse, which shocked all the officials so much that they almost didn't jump up.

My patrol master, you can take it easy, the tall horse under your crotch is no joke, it will be terrible if you fall!
It was less than ten days since Gao Yushi came to Guangxi, but he had already put on airs as a patrol officer, and the main reason was that he was in a hurry and didn't have time to chat with them, so he waved his hand and said, "The ceremony has been withdrawn, go to the procuratorate to talk."

Jiang Xin and the others knew Gao Wushi's background - there was no way around it, even if Gao Wushi's current name was not known to the subordinates, how could they officials not know?So I didn't find it strange to see his somewhat arrogant appearance. On the contrary, I thought it was normal. Although Gao Zhizhi casually glanced at the guard of honor after so long and said to withdraw, there was no other way. He just had the right to do so. Cattle!
Jiang Xin turned around and waved his hand. Naturally, someone would deal with it immediately, but he himself greeted him politely, saying: "Gao Zhizhi is dedicated to serving the public, and won't delay at all. He is really a role model for me, and I admire him very much."

Liu Qingshen had no bottom line for Ni Zhonghua, Pidianpidian ran behind Gao Yushishen, snatched the reins of Gao Yushi's mount, and said with a smile on his face: "The general will lead the horse for you at the end."

Gao Wushi didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head in the end, "Yeah".

Seeing his agreement, Ni Zhonghua was very excited. He took the reins of Gao Yushi's brown warhorse and walked behind Gao Yushi's house, with his belly raised and his chin slightly raised, as if he had just returned from a victorious battle.
