marquis of jingan

Time soon came to October of the ninth year of Hongde.

There are only two or three days left for the opening of the Wenzhou Fushi Shipping Division.

However, before the opening of the Shibo Division, Master Shen’s Shen Garden was completed one step earlier. To celebrate the completion of this garden, Shen Yi set up three or four tables of wine and banquets in the newly built Shen Garden. And the local officials of Wenzhou Prefecture had a meal.

But for this meal, Xue Wei was not present.

Because many of the soldiers who died in the last battle were from his hometown of Taizhou, and they lived in different places. Xue Wei has now returned to Taizhou and went door-to-door to distribute pensions.

This is actually a somewhat cruel thing.

Because Xue Wei himself was from Linhai, Taizhou Prefecture, some of the soldiers killed this time were recruited by him in Linhai himself. As a Linhai native, he went to the homes of these villagers and issued "death notices" one by one in his local accent, which was very cruel.

Not to mention whether these people will forgive him, it is also a kind of mental torture for him alone.

Except for Xue Wei who was not present, the two thousand households under his command also went to Taizhou Mansion, so they were not present either. The rest of the hundred households who were still in Yueqing gave Mr. Shen face and ate this meal liquor.

In addition to the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army, Jiang Youde, the prefect of Wenzhou, and the officials of Wenzhou prefecture were basically all present. The prefect of Wenzhou and Shen Yi visited the garden together, and then praised it.

"Although this garden is not big, it is quite different from ordinary gardens. I didn't expect Mr. Shen to have done some research on gardens at such a young age."

This sentence is pure flattery.

The design drawing of this garden was indeed drawn by Shen Yi himself, but at best, he added some architectural elements that had never appeared in this world, which made it a bit weird. It is said that Shen Yi has research on gardens, but he is just speaking with high EQ.

However, although this garden covers an area of ​​more than 20 mu, it is already very large in Shen Yi's view, but in the view of local officials like Jiang Youde, it is indeed not very large. After all, the location here is outside Yueqing City.

You must know that some officials who have retired from the imperial court, after returning to their hometowns, sometimes build a garden casually, which may occupy forty or fifty acres of land, or even hundreds of acres of land.

And those gardens were all built in the city.

Although Mr. Shen already felt that his garden was a bit extravagant, in the eyes of these civil servants, Shen Yi, an imperial envoy, could be said to be a model of "diligence and frugality".

It was also the first time for Shen Yi to visit his own garden. After taking Jiang Youde and his group to look around, the luncheon almost started. The group was about to sit down for dinner. Master Shen looked at Jiang Youde standing beside him and smiled. Laughing: "Master Jiang is not in a hurry to take a seat, it's better to wait a while."

Jiang Zhifu was a little confused, so he looked up at Shen Yi, and asked with a smile: "Could it be that there are any distinguished guests who have not been present?"

"Fu Zun will find out after a while."

Jiang Youde has been the magistrate in Wenzhou Prefecture for four or five years. His influence in Wenzhou Prefecture can be said to be deeply rooted. To get angry.

But when Shen Yi was in Wenzhou Mansion, holding five thousand soldiers and horses, Jiang Fuzun's temper suddenly improved a lot. He smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Since Prime Minister Shen has spoken publicly, let's wait a little longer." .”

Not long after the two finished talking, they heard a call from outside: "Zhejiang Governor Zhou Yishan and Zhou Futai have arrived!"

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Zhifu shuddered directly, his whole body trembled.

He suddenly raised his head to look at Shen Yi, and said with a wry smile: "Shen Xianggong, Zhou Futai is coming, why didn't you inform the lower officials in advance? The lower officials can go out of the city to meet them..."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Since Zhou Futai didn't inform the magistrate Yamen in advance, it's normal for Jiang Fuzun not to know. Those who don't know are innocent. Zhou Futai will not blame Fuzun."

"It's not too late for you and me to go out to meet you now."

Jiang Zhifu sighed, he lowered his head to straighten his clothes, looked at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "Zhou Futai came to Yueqing at this time, I'm afraid it is for the completion of the Shibo Department in two days?"

Shen Yi chuckled: "I don't know about that either."

"It still depends on what Zhou Futai himself means."

Prefect Jiang was thoughtful, he followed behind Shen Yi, and walked towards the gate of Shen Garden, but he was muttering in his heart.

Zhou Futai is here.

The chief envoy of the province, what about the inspector?
Why didn't they come?
However, he did not ask this question in the end.

Because while speaking, a group of people had already reached the gate of the garden, and saw a little old man who looked a little tired.

Shen Yi smiled and stepped forward to salute.

Jiang Youde and other Wenzhou government officials trotted forward, bowed respectfully to the old man, and bowed deeply.

"My next official, Jiang Youde, prefect of Wenzhou, has met Mr. Futai!"

Zhou Yishan and Zhou Futai were only wearing plain clothes at this time, no quasi-official uniform, his face was still tired, and he probably came all the way here on a hurry.

Seeing Jiang Youde and the others, he raised his hand slightly, with a smile on his face: "This official is also here for the banquet, so colleagues don't need to be polite, just get up."

Many Wenzhou government officials straightened their waists, and Jiang Youde followed Zhou Futai with a smile on his face, saying that he was guilty of being unwelcome, so Zhou Futai dealt with him casually, and then looked around the garden Looking at the scenery, he smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Shen Xianggong's garden is really nice."

"After a few years, the old man will retire and return to his hometown, and he will also build such a garden in his hometown."

When they said this, the two of them had already walked to the wine table. Shen Yi first asked Zhou Futai to sit down, and then he sat beside Zhou Futai, and said with a smile: "When Zhou Futai was in the prime of life, one or twenty years later I'm afraid I won't be able to retreat."

At Zhou Yishan's age, if he doesn't step down within ten years, he will probably have improved to a higher level. This sentence can be regarded as a daily flattery in the officialdom.

The two flattered each other a few words, Master Shen moved slightly closer, and asked in a low voice: "Zhongcheng, why don't you see the two adults of Fantai and Jintai coming over?"

Zhou Yishan lowered his head and sighed helplessly: "They won't be able to reach Yueqing until the market opens on October [-]th."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Shen Yi, and said silently: "Originally, the old man will not come to Yueqing until that day."

Zhou Futai looked at Shen Yi silently, and lowered his voice: "Shen Xianggong said in the letter that His Majesty has a decree in Yueqing, so I asked the old man to come to Yueqing to hear the decree."

He snorted: "Don't coax me!"

"How dare I pretend to be an edict?"

Shen Yi smiled and said: "After this meal, I will take Zhong Cheng to see His Majesty's will."

Zhou Futai was obviously a little guilty, he laughed at himself: "Could it be the intention of sending the old man to the capital?"

"If it's true, send Jiankang to him."

Shen Yi said with a smile: "Then the decree is not to send it to Yueqing, but to send it directly to Lin'an."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Zhou Futai also heaved a sigh of relief. It happened that the dishes had already started to be served one after another at this moment. The governor of Zhejiang took a mouthful of food, put it in his mouth and chewed a few mouthfuls, but felt a little tasteless.

He looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "During this period of time, because of Mr. Shen's Shibosi, the old man's mouth is going to dry up."

"Don't talk nonsense about what Zhongcheng said."

Master Shen poured Zhou Yishan a glass of wine and said with a smile.

"This is not my city ship division."

He smiled meaningfully.

"It's His Majesty's Maritime Commissioner."
