The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1083 Ping Tuo Yingnan Mansion?
As an imperial envoy, he went to the city quietly, for fear of being known and spoiling his good deeds.Lu Chen's ostentation is big enough, is he going to greet him in person?

Gu Chengyu curled his lips, Lu Chen must have come this time in a bad way.Last time he made a fool of himself, Lu Chen wondered why he hated himself!

Why does the emperor insist on bringing Lu Chen together with him?Don't know if he and Lu Chen are incompatible?This person likes to take credit for himself.

He sighed, "Let's go! Go meet Master Lu!"

Even if Gu Chengyu's grade is the same as Lu Chen's, but Lu Chen came from a long way, if he doesn't go out to meet him, it's unreasonable.

"But the commanding officer, Mr. Lu, has come to Yingnan Mansion? Then the officer should also go to greet him!"

When Guo Haoshou heard that it was Lu Chen who came, his eyes lit up.

Lu Chen is the second son of Zhan Yuanhou's mansion, and the nephew of Concubine Jing's natal family, and he and Prince Gong are cousins!
This is a serious relative of the emperor, and Zhan Yuanhou's mansion has a lot of power in the capital.If he can climb up to Zhan Yuanhou's mansion, wouldn't he have great hope for promotion?
Li Taihang offended Gu Chengyu and found so much money from the outer house.With these money alone, Li Taihang can't turn over.

He has served as a magistrate in Yingnan Prefecture for more than ten years. When the magistrate was promoted last time, he fully believed that he would be able to be promoted to the magistrate's position.

Who would have thought that Li Taihang would suddenly come and take his seat, which made him feel very annoyed and at the same time deeply helpless.

This time Li Taihang committed a crime, his chance came.He must climb to Zhan Yuanhou's mansion, even if Zhan Yuanhou's mansion is Prince Gong's natal family, he will not hesitate.

It's really too long to stay in the position of Tongzhi, as long as he can move his buttocks, he will be satisfied.

His request is not high, he only thinks about the prefect seat of Yingnan Prefecture.

Gu Chengyu knew what Guo Haoshou was thinking at a glance, and his impression of Guo Haoshou was mediocre.People are a bit cunning, but their nature is not bad, they just like to exploit.

However, this is understandable.After all, the other party has no connections in the officialdom. If he wants to climb up, he must please Shangfeng, or find a capable backer?

Guo Haoshou also showed affection to him before, probably because he was valued by the emperor.Now that Lu Chen is here, Guo Haoshou will most likely choose to move closer to Lu Chen.

Because the holy family is the most unreliable thing.Maybe today the emperor thinks highly of you, your official career is magnanimous, promotion is like being a rocket.

But once you lose the emperor's holy family, those courtiers you offend on weekdays, anyone can come forward and step on you.

At that time, you will be like a dead crab, and you will be completely out of food.

Therefore, you still have to cultivate your own power, so strong that even the emperor can't ignore you, just like the chief assistant Xia Qing.

Regardless of the reason why the emperor indulged him, it was Xia Qing's fault.

And Lu Chen is much more stable than him, after all, he is from a family in the capital.The aristocratic family has a huge network of relationships. As long as they do not seek to usurp the throne or collude with foreign countries, they will not be easily subverted.

Lu Chen told the carriage to go slower, and it was about to reach the city gate, so Lu Chen raised the curtain and looked at the city gate.

Because of showing the posters and tooth cards, the yamen guards and soldiers guarding the city already knew that the imperial court had sent high-ranking officials.

They evacuated the people who left and entered the city. At this moment, the gate of the city is deserted, which is quite different from the lively scene just now.

"Did you see it? It's the relief money sent by the imperial court. Those victims are no longer afraid of starving to death. There are so many boxes, how much money is that?"

Seeing such a big battle at the gate of the city, a commoner hurriedly stepped aside, looking lively.

"Hey? Don't look at so many boxes. In fact, there is not much money. Didn't you say that there are only 5 taels? 5 taels are enough to support the disaster victims, let alone strengthen the embankment. Master Gu found so many It will cost a lot of money for the victims to divert the river embankment in Yingnanfu, so 5 taels is enough? What’s more, there is Hangtianfu! These are big projects.”

One of them was very knowledgeable about current affairs and spoke clearly and clearly.

"That's right! Mr. Gu is really a good official! For the sake of our people, he even gave up his face to ask wealthy businessmen to donate money, and controlled the price of rice grains from increasing. For our continuous sustenance, he spared no effort to buy grains from other state capitals. Compared with those black-hearted merchants, Mr. Gu is really an upright official for the country and the people."

"That's right! It is said that Mr. Gu recorded all the money in the account one by one, and there are detailed accounts for every use. Not only is he not greedy for money, but even the officials below him are strict. Now the victims of the disaster Who refuses to accept Mr. Gu? It would be great if Mr. Gu became the magistrate of our Yingnan Prefecture?"

"That's probably impossible. Mr. Gu is an official in the capital. After the disaster relief is over, he must return to the capital."

Several people admired Gu Chengyu very much, and the voices of discussion were not small, and people from the side continued to join in and discuss with them.

Qingquan walked in the front on horseback, hearing these people praise Gu Chengyu so much, he couldn't help but look at them in surprise.

This Mr. Gu is so loved by the people not long after he came to Jiangnan?I don't know how to do it.

Gu Chengyu sat in the carriage and walked forward slowly.He was meditating with his eyes closed, when Lu Chen came, it became very inconvenient for him to do things.

The food in the granary has not been replenished, and it is still being consumed daily.

I don't know if Lu Chen will write a memorial and go to the capital to refer to him in front of the emperor after he finds out.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I think that the matter of the Chamber of Commerce cannot be implemented at present, and please think again, Your Highness the Crown Prince! In addition, although the evidence of the crime of Li Taihang, the prefect of Yingnan Prefecture, is conclusive, but now that there is no magistrate in Yingnan Prefecture, what is the order? The Ministry of officials must immediately draw up The list will be determined by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xia Qing changed his previous style of not speaking until the critical moment, and started to play things as soon as he entered the Prince's East Palace.

The crown prince nodded, "As for Li Taixing, the magistrate of Yingnan Prefecture, to collect taxes and bribes, we will wait for Gu Shaoqing to escort him back to Beijing before making a decision. It is natural that no one in Yingnan Prefecture is in charge of the yamen. However, I heard that Yingnan Prefecture Tongzhi Guo Haoshou has been an official in Yingnan Mansion for more than ten years, and he understands the situation in Yingnan Mansion fairly well. What do you guys think if we don't let him take over?"

The prince skipped the matter of the chamber of commerce, and first talked about the magistrate of Yingnan Prefecture.

"Your Highness! If Guo Tongzhi is qualified to be the magistrate of Yingnan Prefecture, then when the previous magistrate was promoted, he would not have sent Li Taihang to take over. I think Gu Shaoqing is a suitable candidate. I see his respect for Jiangnan. Knowing the situation very well, and being able to manage the river with ease, how about sending Gu Shaoqing to go there, what does Your Highness think?"

Xia Qing stroked his beard, and nodded after speaking, as if he came up with an opinion after careful consideration.
