Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 443

Although Li Yan is the governor of Shaanxi in name, he actually has greater power, and the whole of Gansu is under his jurisdiction. More precisely, he should be the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi.

As the number one counselor under Li Zicheng's command, Zhu Youjian gave Li Yan full trust. Li Yan did not live up to Zhu Youjian's high expectations, and managed Shanxi and Gansu in an orderly manner.

The husband and wife are capable of writing and martial arts, and the Pingkou Army under their command has strict military regulations, is absolutely loyal to the country, and has never committed any crimes to the people. They are not only an important iron gate in the northwest of Ming Dynasty, but also the patron saint of the people in Shaanxi and Gansu.

Shaanxi, where rogue bandits used to be everywhere and wars everywhere, is now more stable and united than Jiangnan, and its economy is also developing well. The Shaanxi business gang also has a place in Jiangnan.

Agricultural development kept pace with the imperial court. Wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes had become an important production area in the Midwest, and corn cultivation was far at the forefront of Ming Dynasty.

All of this is based on Li Yan's loyalty and admiration for the emperor. He 100% implemented every decision of the court without delay. Whether it was sweet potatoes or corn, they were the first provinces to be popularized in Ming Dynasty.

Not long after the corn came down, they had grown seedlings and started to transplant them. Soon, the first corn-harvesting province in Ming Dynasty would be born on the Loess Plateau.

Many agricultural water conservancy and irrigation projects have been built along the Hanshui River in Shaanxi, and the people have almost escaped the fate of relying on the sky.

If there is no super severe drought, it can be said with certainty that the people here will never go hungry again, and there will be no rebellion.

If it is said that everything is going smoothly for Li Yan here, and no one has ever interfered with his decision, that is impossible, because there is still an old man here.

Speaking of Gao Qiqian, many people know him. Gao Qiqian is not famous because of how powerful he is, but because he once killed a famous person, the supervisor Lu Xiangsheng.

high dive,
Eunuch in the late Ming Dynasty.At the beginning of Chongzhen, he was an internal servant, and together with Cao Huachun and Wang Dehua, he was highly valued by Chongzhen.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen (1632), the generals who supervised him conquered Kong Youde and rebelled.Xuan Duning and Jin Jun suppressed the Peasant Army

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, he served as the director and dispatched generals to defend the Qing army.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen (1638), Huang Taiji ordered Dorgon, Yue Tuo and others to cross the Great Wall and penetrate deeply.In the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiang was promoted as the supervisor, and the eunuch Gao Qiqian was the supervisor of the army, responsible for supervising the army to meet the enemy.

However, neither Gao Qiqian nor Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War, wanted to fight. As a result, Lu Xiangsheng fought alone and died in a bloody battle in Julu Jiazhuang.In the winter of this year, the Qing soldiers ravaged Jifu and went down 43 cities.

The next year, Qing soldiers went south into Shandong, broke through Jinan, and captured Mingde King Zhu Youshu.Then the Qing soldiers returned from Shandong and went out of the fortress. The Ming army followed behind and did not dare to attack. This time, the Qing soldiers captured more than 46 Han people and won more than one million platinum. They returned with a full load.
In the 17th year, Li Zicheng attacked the capital. He supervised Ning and the former armies, and abandoned the pass in the middle.

When Li Zicheng besieged the capital, Gao Qiqian, as the former supervisor of Ning, abandoned the pass without resisting.

Who would have thought that he would reappear in Shaanxi after Li Yan conquered Shaanxi, and called him the governor.

As a well-known eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, Li Yan certainly would not have thought that Gao Qiqian would proclaim himself the military governor, and thought that the emperor sent him to supervise him, after all, he was once a rogue general.

Li Yan didn't mention it, and Gao Qiqian certainly wouldn't. After all, before the fall of the capital, he was really a warlord, but how could he know that the emperor miraculously killed Li Zicheng.

In this way, he had no face to go to Beijing to meet the emperor, and when he heard that the emperor actually let the rogue general sit in Shaanxi, Gao Qiqian felt that his chance had come.

So he ran to Shaanxi to find Li Yan, and took out the previous seals and documents, planning to meet the emperor in Beijing after making some achievements in Shaanxi.

To be honest, Li Yan also felt that he was a general and shouldn't care too much about Gao Qiqian, so he didn't take it seriously, which allowed Gao Qiqian to survive.

Fortunately, because of the Lu Xiangsheng incident, Gao Qiqian did not interfere with Li Yan for the time being. This is why Shaanxi and Gansu have undergone earth-shaking changes today.

Seeing that Gao Qiqian didn't care about anything and let his husband and wife do their best, Li Yan had a good impression of Gao Qiqian, and felt that this great eunuch was not as bad as the legend said.

But as the development of Shaanxi and Gansu got better and better, Gao Qiqian's fox tail gradually showed, and he began to arrange lucrative positions for his godsons.

Today, Li Yan was discussing matters with Hong Niangzi when suddenly the soldiers came to report:

"Report to the Superintendent, the Superintendent's eunuch asks for an interview."

Li Yan was taken aback at the time. This was the first time the eunuch came to see him after he arrived in Shaanxi. It stands to reason that his status is higher than Li Yan's, after all, he is a celebrity around the emperor.

The red lady looked up at her husband, knowing what he was thinking, and waved to Jun Bing:

"Master Overseer, please come in."

"Yes"

Soon Gao Qiqian, dressed in python robes, walked into the living room of the governor's mansion, followed by two young men, but they were not eunuchs.

Seeing Gao Qi sneaking in, Li Yan and his wife hurriedly got up to greet them:

"I don't know that the Lord Overseer is here, but our husband and wife have not been able to go out of the house to greet each other. I still hope that the Lord Overseer is Haihan."

Seeing Li Yan and his wife clasped their fists to greet each other, Gao Qiqian puffed up his chest and put his hands behind his back, but the old man showed a smirk on his face, and said in his signature treacherous voice:
"Master Superintendent, you are welcome, our family is only your deputy, and I took the liberty to visit you today to disturb the two of you, hahaha..."

After Gao Qiqian finished speaking, he laughed like an old duck.

His laughter made the red lady get goosebumps all over her body instantly, and when she saw his defiant appearance, she felt disgusted in her heart.

Li Yan laughed and said:

"Eunuch can come, the Governor's Mansion is full of splendor, please sit down, someone will serve tea for Eunuch."

Although Li Yan is not happy with Gao Qiqian's performance, he will not show it, but he has already turned Lord Overseer into a father-in-law during his speech.

No matter how you say it, Li Yan is the boss of Ganshan, Gao Qiqian is just a military governor, this old eunuch is still showing off in front of Li Yan because of his status as a royal minister.

The two beautiful female soldiers under Hong Niangzi's command served the three of them tea and stepped back. The eyes of the two young men standing beside Gao Qiqian with their hands lowered were bright at the time, but they quickly retracted.

Gao Qiqian picked up the teacup and blew on it, then took a small sip:

"Today, our family came to ask Mr. Superintendent to ask for an unsolicited request. This is our godson Liu Neng. I hope the superintendent will arrange for him to work in Mizhi Farm. Liu Neng's ability is still good, and he will be the deputy principal. There is no problem at all, I hope the Master Supervisor will make it happen."

"This one……"

This is the rhythm of directly asking the officials to do it, and she is going to be the deputy head of the farm directly. The red lady is anxious and scolds Gao Qiqian for being shameless, but she is only acting in her heart and will not interrupt.

Regarding Gao Qiqian's request, although Li Yan was unwilling in his heart, he didn't want to fall out with Gao Qiqian either. Isn't he the vice-principal?Li Xin and Er Zhou are still there, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

As the governor of Shanxi, if he refuses his request for the first time, it will be difficult to cooperate in the future. It will be very troublesome if this guy sues the emperor.

Li Yan finally gritted his teeth and agreed to him, but he still beat Liu Neng:
"Okay, father-in-law's face must be given, but I will say the ugly words first; Liu Neng must not destroy the unity of the farm, let alone violate the farm regulations."
