marquis of jingan

Chapter 432

Shen Yi's next stop is Wenzhou Mansion.

This is also one of the several big cities along the coast. Compared with Taizhou, Wenzhou is already one of the well-known commercial ports at the moment. The big cities of those megacities in Kangsusu.

Here, it is also deeply invaded by Japanese pirates.

The perennial harassment by Japanese pirates has seriously interfered with Wenzhou's ocean trade. However, even excluding the shipping, Wenzhou's lacquerware is also very famous and sold all over the country, making this place still quite prosperous.

At least it is stronger than Taizhou government.

The seat of Wenzhou Prefecture, that is, the capital city, is located in Yongjia County, and Shen Yi and his party also came straight to Yongjia.

It is worth mentioning that Li Mu, the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, had just left Yongjia for a few days and killed many people in Yongjia.

As a big coastal city in Yongjia, when the Dibao Division settled in, it was in front of and behind Linhai City, and because Yongjia has a lot of foreigners doing business here, the Dibao Division will not be as conspicuous as it was when it was in Taizhou Prefecture, and it went smoothly. I found out some news.

After Li Mu arrived in Wenzhou Mansion, according to the news from the Di Baosi, he found three giant merchants who were in touch with the Japanese. This prince of Jin hated these traitors who were in touch with the Japanese. Before Shen Yi arrived in Yongjia, he held the flag of Wang Ming Plow these three houses again.

Well, the eggs have been shaken and turned yellow.

Of these three families, except for the female relatives who were all filled into Jiaofangsi, there were basically no males left in the direct line, and they all died.

Otherwise, it is not enough to shock people.

But this kind of "evil matter", His Royal Highness is still a bachelor himself, and before Shen Yi arrived, he had already sung the red-faced scene. Next, Shen Yi, a white-faced man, can feel at ease in Wenzhou Mansion Conscripted.

The reason why Li Mu left early before Shen Yi arrived in Yongjia was also intentional.

This is a tacit understanding between two people.

Li Mu deliberately avoided all matters related to the army, and only did his job as an imperial envoy to patrol the sea on behalf of the sky. As for the matter of the anti-Japanese army, he could be said to have deliberately avoided it, and basically did not ask at all.

Shen Yi was also so happy.

There is such a "leader" who throws away the shopkeeper. Although he is a little tired when doing things, at least he can do things as he wants. If he meets a leader who insists on commanding, he, Mr. Shen, may be more tired than he is now.

Early in the morning, Shen Yi's team arrived at the city of Yongjia.

A total of more than [-] people.

Among the three hundred people, dozens of them were brought by Shen Yi all the way from Taizhou, and the other three hundred were recruited in Taiping County.

The team has grown from strength to strength.

However, after the number of people increased, eating, drinking, and laxation became a problem, and there was no local government to provide them with supplies. According to Shen Yi's plan, as the number of anti-Japanese troops increased, he would probably send some of the anti-Japanese troops , stay in the prefectures and counties along the coast, and call them together when they are needed.

Because the number of teams is increasing, it is no longer possible to do a concealed march. Before Shen Yi's carriage arrived at Yongjia County, the prefect of Wenzhou and the county magistrate of Yongjia had already left the city to greet them.

The two magistrates were very polite to Shen Yi. After Shen Yi got off the carriage, the two couldn't stop bowing their hands to Shen Yi and shouting at each other.

Looking at the two magistrates, they bowed their hands and returned the salute one by one, and responded with a smile: "You two adults are really polite. In terms of seniority, the two are seniors. How can I let the seniors go out of the city to welcome them?"

The prefect of Wenzhou is a serious fourth-rank official, and Wenzhou mansion is still a big mansion. That is to say, the prefect of Wenzhou surnamed Jiang has a high status in the world. Compared with Chen Yu, the prefect of Jiangdu, he is not much worse. , Going out of the city to meet Shen Yi is a bit self-deprecating.

Jiang Zhifu looked like he had just turned 40 years old. He had fair skin and a three-stroke beard. He pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and said with a smile: "Your brother is wrong. In this officialdom, seniority cannot be judged. If you look at seniority, wouldn't those county magistrates who are five or sixty years old have to be carried into the six departments?"

Hearing the phrase "five or 60-year-old county magistrate", Shen Yi couldn't help coughing.

Because he thought of his uncle.

Uncle Shen Hui is a serious five or sixty-year-old county magistrate...the kind who can't get promoted in his life.

Jiang Zhifu looked at Shen Yi's expression, continued to smile and said: "Young brother like you can get two Jinshi at a young age, and he is also a good scholar in the Imperial Academy, then he has a bright future. Maybe we will see you again in a few years. Then he became Jiang's superior."

The most valuable thing in Shen Yi's body now is not the Jinshi of the two rankings, nor the Shujishi, nor the Sizheng of some mansion newspaper...

It was the more than 300 anti-Japanese soldiers who followed behind him!

What made these two local officials look at each other differently, of course, was not the military command of these 300-odd people. In fact, the civilian officials in these places looked down on the military officers very much.

What they really care about is the political meaning behind this military command.

Others don't know, but the two local officials in Wenzhou Prefecture know very well that these anti-Japanese soldiers have just made great achievements in Taizhou Prefecture, and the imperial envoys went south, and they were ordered by His Majesty to form a coastal defense army, but the imperial envoys ignored the Japanese army. Ask, leave everything to the young man in front of you...

Everyone is mixed in the officialdom, and the meaning is self-evident.

Either, His Royal Highness deliberately avoided the taboo, or, the young man in front of him was simply sent by His Majesty to preside over the anti-Japanese army, and the imperial envoy on the surface was just a cover!
Or, a little bit of both?
But no matter what, Shen Yi, a young Jinshi, must be His Majesty's man, that's right, he might be a celebrity in front of the Emperor's eyes!

What is the most important thing in officialdom?

network!

And this Shen Hanlin in front of him has "Tongtian" contacts!

Naturally, this kind of person needs to befriended.

The two local officials enthusiastically found an open space suitable for the anti-Japanese army to station, and then dragged Shen Yi into Yongjia City, and held a banquet in the highest restaurant in Yongjia to welcome Shen Yi!

The dishes on the table are all Yongjia’s local dishes, and there are also some famous dishes that are popular in Jiankang. What surprised Shen Yi was that there were four or five Jiangdu dishes on the table. A rare Jiangdu local dish.

After seeing these Jiangdu dishes, Shen Yi looked at the local officials who were accompanying him, and said with a smile: "Seniors, you are interested. To be honest, after leaving Jiangdu, I haven't seen much hometown dishes."

Jiang Zhifu smiled and said: "It just so happens that there is a cook from Jiangdu in Guiyun Tower. He knew that Brother Shen is from Jiangdu, so he asked him to prepare some Jiangdu dishes. Brother, try it quickly. Is it the taste of hometown?"

Shen Yi did not eat, but picked up his wine glass, stood up, looked at the Wenzhou government officials present, and said with a smile: "I came to Yongjia to recruit the anti-Japanese army for the imperial court. If you want to do this job well, you must do it well." For your support, I would like to offer you a toast.”

The Wenzhou government officials all looked at each other, then drank the wine in their glasses, and agreed again and again, expressing that they would definitely support the imperial court's decision to recruit soldiers.

After finishing the glass of wine, Shen Yi put down the glass, looked at Jiang Zhifu at the side, and sighed: "Master Jiang, you have invited one less person for today's meal."

Prefect Jiang was taken aback for a moment, and asked: "My dear brother, please speak clearly."

Shen Yi smiled.

"After the imperial envoy left Yongjia, there should be some people left behind?"

"Yes…"

Jiang Zhifu thought for a while, and said: "The son of the world has investigated several major cases of corruption in Yongjia. After the old man left, he left behind a dozen people to clean up the stolen property in Yongjia..."

Shen Yi looked at the table full of wine and food, then looked at Jiang Zhifu, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty didn't see that, among the people left behind by the son, how many are eunuchs?"

"I see..."

Jiang Zhifu looked at Shen Yi, and said in a low voice: "My dear brother, there are also eunuchs in the palace, brother Yu thought that those were people from the Jin palace..."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "They are all servants in the palace, and there is a eunuch in purple among them... Otherwise, let's stop this meal for a while?"

Jiang Zhifu stood up directly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his voice became a little nervous.

"Thank you for reminding me, brother, wait a moment, brother Yu..."

"Brother Yu, let's invite someone..."

After that, he stood up in a panic, and left with a group of Wenzhou officials.

After the officials left, Master Shen sat in his seat without moving, picked up a piece of chicken leg, put it in his bowl, and took a bite.

"There was an imperial envoy who didn't follow me and insisted on staying in Yongjia to wait for me... If the big signboard in this palace is not displayed, it will be struck by lightning."

"Let that old eunuch deal with these local officials..."

Master Shen took a bite of the chicken leg and laughed inwardly.

"In this way, I can go about my own business with peace of mind..."
