The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1430
"It's normal that Mr. Feng doesn't know." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "I came from the sea, and the government along the way naturally didn't know about my itinerary and news. It's normal for my lord to have no news."

"Did Xuan Gong come from the sea? Then, Xuan Gong must have been to the camp of the Quanzhou Navy?" Feng Zhijun asked.

Here comes it.

Xuan Shijing raised his vigilance in his heart, and said in harmony: "Yes, after walking around the Quanzhou Navy's camp, the situation of the Quanzhou Navy is really not optimistic. Chen Zheng has a false name! Thanks to him He is still an old man who served in the army when Gaozu was in power, what a good Quanzhou navy, how he has been defeated! It makes people angry."

Xuan Shijing deliberately belittled Chen Zheng in front of Feng Zhijun in order to see Feng Zhijun's reaction. This was Xuan Shijing's temptation to Feng Zhijun.

"My lord said so, the lower officials are also ashamed. Tian is the governor of Quanzhou. Under the rule of Quanzhou, the navy in Quanzhou is getting worse every day. The lower officials are also responsible." Feng Zhijun hid his face and said in shame.

"Master Feng doesn't need to be like this, each has his own responsibility, that's all." Xuan Shijing's words pulled Feng Zhijun out of the Quanzhou navy.

"Thank you Xuangong for your understanding." Feng Zhijun cupped his hands and thanked.

"It's just a fact." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Speaking of which, since my carriage entered Quanzhou City, I have also carefully seen the lives of the people in Quanzhou. Judging from the faces of the people, the lives of the people in Quanzhou Life is pretty good, if you can see the big from the small, if the Quanzhou government hadn't put in a lot of effort in improving people's livelihood, Quanzhou would definitely not be what it is today."

"Xuangong praised it absurdly. This is all the job of the lower officials and others." Feng Zhijun said: "It should, it should."

The two sat in the hall of the Quanzhou government office and chatted for a long time. After a while, the servants of the government office came to report that dinner was ready and asked them to move to the side hall.

The two got up and moved into the listening area.

As the saying goes, you eat mountains by the mountains, and you eat the sea by the sea. Quanzhou is close to the sea, so most of the banquets are seafood, and there are some prey in the mountains.

After the two sat down, Feng Zhijun said: "Xuan Gong came from Chang'an. Compared with Chang'an, Quanzhou is really not worth mentioning. However, there are some things in Quanzhou that Chang'an can't eat, such as this table. Some of the seafood on the table were brought in by local fishermen, and they were still fresh when they were delivered to Quanzhou."

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Quanzhou is close to the sea, and people in many villages live on the beach. This is something I have heard. The fishermen on the seaside send fresh seafood to Quanzhou City to sell, exchange some copper coins, and buy some daily necessities. Necessary things to maintain a family's livelihood."

"That's it." Feng Zhijun said.

At the banquet, the two also talked about many things about the common people, including the current situation of life in Quanzhou City, and the life of fishermen by the sea. Xuan Shijing didn't mention the pirates, and Feng Zhijun kept silent.

What Xuan Shijing said about the life of the fishermen just now, Feng Zhijun can completely tell about the pirates, but he still didn't mention it.

Xuan Shijing was preconceived and felt that there was something wrong with Feng Zhijun, but he also thought that Feng Zhijun might want to improve his own impression in Xuan Shijing's heart. After all, as the governor of Quanzhou, the people here live a good life, which is his Regarding political achievements, when Xuan Shijing returns to Chang'an in the future to talk about the matter with the emperor, Feng Zhijun may still be promoted.

From a local official to a Beijing official, that was a qualitative leap.

Although the governor of Quanzhou is from the third-rank position, he is not as good as the fourth-rank official in Chang'an.

In a place like Chang'an, there are a lot of opportunities for promotion. After all, they can often show up in front of the emperor, but what about Quanzhou?The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Although he is at ease, he can only "show his face" in front of the emperor during the annual court meeting.

Feng Zhijun belongs to the Feng family, is the Feng family short of money?There is no shortage of money, nor is there a lack of prominent reputation, but Feng An's [-] sons were separated after their deaths. Feng Zhijun was [-], and he was still a concubine. There is no shortage of money, but as the side room of the Feng family, life is estimated to be not so good.

So in the matter of the pirates, even if Feng Zhijun is not short of money, Xuan Shijing has reason to suspect Feng Zhijun from this aspect, and regarding Feng Zhijun's speech and behavior during the meeting with Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing also feels that Feng Zhijun has a serious problem. suspicion.

As for the theory of promotion, people go to high places, and water flows to low places.

If you have fun in Quanzhou and make a fortune, you will naturally have to think about the way forward, and going to Beijing is also a way to power and wealth.

With power, He Chou is not rich. With power, even the direct line of the Feng family should look at his face, right?

On the surface, the two chatted happily during the banquet, but behind the scenes, everyone had their own plans. Xuan Shijing was trying to find out Feng Zhijun's bottom line, and Feng Zhijun was also testing Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing's arrival gave him even more hope of being able to go to Beijing.

As for the matter of the pirates, it was never mentioned from the beginning to the end, Xuan Shijing would not mention it, and Feng Zhijun would not mention it.

But Xuan Shijing knew what happened to the pirates. As for Feng Zhijun's affairs about the pirates, Xuan Shijing felt that Feng Zhijun knew better than anyone else.

After a banquet was over, Feng Zhijun invited Xuan Shijing to live in the mansion, Xuan Shijing naturally would not agree, so he shied away with an excuse, and told Feng Zhijun that he had booked a room at a good hotel in Quanzhou City. I won't cause trouble for the Quanzhou government, and I specially emphasized the phrase "a good inn".

After Xuan Shijing left with Chang Le and his party, Feng Zhijun stood at the gate of the mansion, watching Xuan Shijing and his party disappear into the street, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Young man, it's really interesting." Feng Zhijun said to himself.

"What do you think of this young father-in-law?" Bie Jia who was beside Feng Zhijun asked.

"After all, he is still a young man." Feng Zhijun said, "Let's go back home."

"Yes." Bie Jia replied.

Feng Zhijun returned to the mansion, and the group of people who came out to see him off also entered the mansion behind him. The gate of the mansion was closed again, only the two bright red lanterns hanging high above the door were still in the dark night. Radiant.

Xuan Shijing returned to the inn in the carriage, and after the group packed up, Xuan Shijing and Chang Le were in the room, waiting for Gao Jun to come back.

Now Xuan Shijing really wonders if Feng Zhijun will send someone to the county government to make a call.
