Chapter 597 Knowing Pain and Shame

What I have to admit is that people who come out of this palace have a sweet mouth.

The sentence "Who decides in the southeast" made Master Shen feel very much in his heart.

But this kind of words, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.

Along the southeast coast, there are four or five provinces along the way, and each province has governors, chief envoys, and officials at all levels. It is impossible for him, Shen Yi, a fifth-rank official, to have the final say.

At most, on the one-third of an acre of land in Yueqing, Master Shen can more or less tell his word.

After all, there are 5000 people stationed here, and anyone who speaks will have a much louder voice.

Shen Yi invited Eunuch Sun to his tent, and after Eunuch Sun was seated, he said with a smile: "You and I can't decide on the opening of the Shibo Division behind closed doors, so let's make a decision first." One day, I wrote a letter to the governor’s yamen of Zhejiang, asking the governor of Zhejiang, the chief envoy of Zhejiang, the procuratorate, the prefect of Lin’an, and the prefect of Wenzhou to come and participate in the opening of the market.”

"It will be more lively then."

Master Shen had a faint smile on his face: "From now on, no one will dare to cause trouble."

Sun Jin was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Shen Yi, and asked, "Mr. Shen, those adults in the province, are you willing to participate in the opening of the market?"

"Zhou Futai is warm and helpful."

Shen Yi said softly: "I think he is willing to come."

"He is the governor of Zhejiang. When he comes, the chief envoy, the procuratorate, and the prefect of Lin'an will give him some face."

Shen Yi chuckled softly: "Therefore, they should all come."

Zhou Futai was caught by Shen Yi in a small way.

That is his son, intending to murder the imperial envoy!

This crime can be minor or serious, once Master Shen reported it to the palace and the emperor pursued it, Zhou Futai's future was not even certain, his son's life would definitely be lost.

No one can keep him.

Because once there is a big trouble, this matter will involve the strictness of the emperor's authority, and the strictness of the emperor's authority is absolutely inviolable on the surface.

Not to mention whether it was for his own future or for the life of his son, Zhou Yishan was tightly controlled by Shen Yi, and there was basically no possibility of escape.

Of course, it was difficult to handle such a feudal official at first, even if he had some so-called evidence in his hand, it was successfully submitted to the emperor, but after all, this era is ruled by men rather than The rule of law, Shen Yi's importance to the emperor is hardly more than that of a second-rank official in the frontier. Even if the ironclad evidence is handed over, it does not mean that it can be overthrown if it is overthrown.

Therefore, the reason why Master Shen was able to hold onto Zhou Futai this time was only because he had the handle in his hands, and the more important reason was that the emperor supported him enough.

It is also thanks to Mr. Zhou's blessing.

If it wasn't for Mr. Zhou, the last time Shen Yi went to Lin'an Mansion, even if he wanted to see Zhou Yishan, he would have had to spend some troubles. As for persuading Zhou Yishan to fully support the Shibo Department, he would have to pay some benefits as the price, even that kind of need. Report the price agreed to by the little emperor.

But now, with Zhou Futai "willing" to help, Shibosi has almost no resistance in Zhejiang officialdom.

In other words, the pressure was blocked by Zhou Futai alone.

As for whether this Zhou Futai can completely block the pressure of the Zhejiang officialdom, it is not within the scope of Master Shen's consideration.

After Shen Yi chatted with Sun Jin about the Shibo Department for a while, Master Shen looked at Sun Jin, smiled and said: "Grandpa Sun, after we discuss the matter of the Shibo Department, you will give it to the palace. It's better to hand over a memorial and explain it to His Majesty in detail, so as not to have any different opinions from the palace at that time, it will be difficult for you and me."

"After everything is confirmed, around October this year, the Yueqing Shipbuilding Department will be opened, so that our errands can be considered complete, and we can have a good year when we return to Jiankang for the Chinese New Year this year."

Eunuch Sun showed a respectful expression on his face, bowed his head slightly and said: "Mr. Shen can help you to invite all the adults in the province. Our family will naturally say hello to the affairs in the palace, and will not hold you back, Mr. Shen."

"That's easy."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Then let's take care of our own affairs. As for the opening time of the Shibo Department, let's set it on October [-]th, how about it?"

Eunuch Sun stood up tactfully, bowed his head respectfully to Shen Yi and said: "Yes, we all follow Mr. Shen's wishes."

He had a very submissive expression on his face: "This errand is done. After returning to Jiankang, the servants will always remember your kindness, Mr. Shen."

At this moment, Eunuch Sun even changed his title unconsciously.

In the field of power, what is important is to support each other and give each other face.

He is an angel in the palace, and even if he gives Shen Yi face like this, Master Shen can't be completely indifferent.

Therefore, Shen Yi also squeezed out a smiling face, arched his hands at Sun Jin and said: "Eunuch Sun is already an eunuch in purple clothes, and when he returns to Jiankang after finishing this errand, he will probably be one of the best figures in the inner court. Maybe Shen still has a lot of things to ask her father-in-law to do."

Sun Jin lowered his head in fear and said: "We are all working under the hands of Eunuch Gao. It is already a great blessing to serve His Majesty with good errands. I dare not think about other things."

Sun Jin knew that Shen Yi and Eunuch Gao knew each other very well.

At times like this, anyone with a bit of brain would show his loyalty to Eunuch Gao.

As for the kind of ambition hidden under the smile on his face, only the eunuch Sun knew it in his heart.

After the two of them had some chatter, Shen Yi personally sent Eunuch Sun out of the anti-Japanese army camp.

As soon as the eunuch Sun was sent away, Shen Yi saw Xue Wei rushing back from the outside with about twenty people, all of them looked dull, as if they had lost their souls.

However, Xue Wei still saw Shen Yi at the gate of Daying. He brought twenty subordinates forward, and saluted Shen Yi with fists cupped.

"Mr. Shen!"

At this time, Shen Yi saw that the twenty or so people behind Xue Wei were all Qianhu and Baihu from the two Qianhu battalions under his command. There were a total of 22 generals and several book offices.

Shen Yi glanced at everyone indifferently, and then asked calmly: "Go out to distribute pensions?"

Xue Wei bowed his head, his face was a little ashamed: "Yes, there are more than 20 soldiers who died in Yueqing. The subordinates brought their brothers and the book office in the camp, and each family was issued a pension."

Master Shen glanced at Xue Wei and the hundreds of households behind Xue Wei and asked, "How do you feel seeing so many family members die?"

Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.

Seeing this, Master Shen lowered his brows slightly and said: "It's normal to die in a war. I never said that you are not allowed to die in a war. When I took you with me in the first half of the year, a lot of brothers died."

"But the brothers in the army are all raised by their fathers and mothers. If you can bring back one more, you will bring back one more."

Seeing the trance-like expressions of these twenty or so people, Shen Yi slightly shook his head and said: "You guys have finished distributing the pensions in Yueqing, and hand over the other pensions to the book office. There are a lot of casualties this time, you two The Qianhu Battalion must recruit recruits as soon as possible to replenish the manpower."

"Before Ling Weishuai comes back, try to train the recruits well."

More than 20 people bowed their heads one after another, and said yes to Shen Yi.

Dudu Xue Wei didn't say a word. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, I want to send the pensions of all the brothers who died in battle to their homes one by one."

Xue Wei knelt on the ground, kowtowed and gritted his teeth: "No matter how far away the place is, the subordinates will send it there one by one."

Shen Yi glanced at the big man silently, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you remember what you said to me yesterday?"

Xue Wei lowered his head and said, "Remember, you can recognize five characters a day."

"Subordinate."

Xue Qianhu bowed his head deeply and said, "It won't delay the recognition of characters."

"Then you go."

Master Shen waved his hand and frowned slightly.

"People always need to know pain and shame."

He turned his back, turned and left.

"Only by improving your memory can you know how to repent."
