Chapter 603 Horse Riding Fuzhou Mansion

Sun Jin didn't come to see Shen Yi today, and Shen Yi also wanted to find someone to invite him over.

Because he did intend to go out, and he was leaving tomorrow.

When he left Yueqing, there were many detailed rules and regulations from the Shibo Department, and he had to explain it clearly to Sun Jin, so as not to cause any trouble in Yueqing.

After all, although Shen Yi is not the person in charge of the Shibo Department, he basically wrote the articles of association for the establishment of the Shibo Department. He can be regarded as the senior consultant of the Shibo Department.

Since Sun Jin is here, it will save Shen Yi to find someone to invite him over.

On the same day, Shen Yi left Sun Jin in Shen Yuan for more than an hour, and explained to him in detail the basic strategy of the Shibo Department in the future.

That is to seek stability.

There are some profitable products, but it is extremely troublesome to collect the tax, and the Shibo Department has not had time to make the corresponding detailed rules, so the tax is temporarily collected according to the basic tax rate of ten taxes and one.

All in all, stay safe.

As for the detailed items of the Shibo Department, it is best to wait until next year, after the Shibo Department has completely stabilized and the manpower has gradually increased, and then it will be improved bit by bit.

For Shen Yi's "suggestion", eunuch Sun Jin Sun was very humble. He almost accepted Shen Yi's suggestion exactly as it was ordered, and wrote down the outline with a pen, carefully putting it away.

Eunuch Sun arrived at Shen Yuan after lunch, so after Shen Yi finished "guiding" Sun Jin, it was almost evening.

Shen Yi wanted to keep the eunuch in charge for dinner, but Sun Jin still maintained his original good style and was unwilling to stay, so Shen Yi did not force him to stay and sent him out of Shen Yuan.

When it was getting dark, Master Shen found an open space in the Shen Garden, set up a grill, asked Jiang Sheng to make a plate of meat skewers, sat by the fire, and roasted the meat while warming the fire.

It's almost November now.

And it's November in the lunar calendar.

Even in the south, the coolness at night is already very obvious. It is very pleasant to warm up by the fire in this season.

Master Shen was sitting by the fire, and just after two skewers of meat were roasted, a big man came to Shen Yi silently. Just as the big man was about to salute Shen Yi, Master Shen waved to him and pointed at him. A low stool was reserved, and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a while, sit down and talk."

Xue Wei nodded, and sat silently opposite Shen Yi.

He was still in a bad mood, and there was no longer the heartless smile on his face.

Shen Yi turned over the meat skewers on the grill, looked up at Xue Wei, and asked, "Did you study hard these few days?"

Xue Wei nodded, took out a few crumpled and rough papers from his bosom, put both hands in front of Shen Yi, bowed his head and said: "Look, Mr. Shen, this is the word my subordinates have recognized in the past few days."

Shen Yi reached out to take it, facing the flickering light of the fire, he could barely read the writing on the paper.

Crooked, no posture at all.

But anyway, it is already a word, and it can barely be distinguished.

Master Shen smiled, put the piece of paper into his sleeve, and said, "Forget your hard work."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Xue Wei showed a happy smile on his face, and then lowered his head: "I made Shen Gong laugh."

Shen Yi handed a bunch of grilled meat skewers in front of Xue Wei, and asked, "You are a general, I forced you to read and write, do you hold grudges against me?"

"Where are you talking..."

Xue Wei stood up quickly, he was not very good at talking.His face turned red, and after stuttering for a long time, he finally uttered a sentence: "Subordinate... I know it in my heart, Mr. Shen, you are doing it for my own good..."

"You just understand."

Shen Yi beckoned him to sit down, and then said lightly: "The purpose of letting you read and write is to make you wise. Leading troops to fight, you only rely on your brave words, let alone your job as a commander and deputy envoy. The position of the household is not secure, and it is only worthy of being a hundred households below."

Master Shen paused, and continued: "I'm going south tomorrow morning, leaving Yueqing for Fuzhou Mansion."

Shen Yi looked at Xue Wei and asked, "Do you know what I'm going to do in Fuzhou?"

Xue Wei lowered his head, his face flushed a little: "I know, Ling Weishuai won the battle..."

"Ah."

Shen Yi nodded slowly: "If you live up to it, you should be the one to welcome me in Fuzhou Mansion right now."

"Relying on the merits of clearing out the pirates in Fujian, you will be able to sit on an equal footing with Ling Su in the future."

"Unfortunately, you didn't seize this opportunity."

Master Shen said slowly: "Opportunities are fleeting. If you don't grasp this opportunity, you don't know how long you will have to wait for the next opportunity. You can only wait for the next opportunity slowly in this position. "

"You command the deputy envoy's errand, and I will restore it to you tomorrow."

Shen Yi looked at Xue Wei, and said lightly: "It is good to lead troops to train in Yueqing. If there is something wrong with the Shibo Department, you can take someone to help the place, and don't cause trouble."

Xue Wei lowered his head and said: "Tomorrow I will send two battalions of hundreds of households to protect Mr. Shen going south."

"Not so many people."

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said: "Tomorrow I will go to Fuzhou on horseback. You can find twenty or thirty cavalrymen and go south with me."

Xue Wei bowed his head and answered: "Yes."

Shen Yi once again put a grilled meat skewer in front of Xue Wei, and waited for Xue Wei to reach out to take it, then Master Shen patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Train your troops well in Yueqing, south of Fujian, or With Guangdong, that is your last chance."

"If you still can't grasp this opportunity, then no one can help you."

"At that time, I will find another general to make."

Xue Wei clenched his hands unconsciously, and his breathing became rapid. He bowed his head deeply to Shen Yi: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your support, my subordinate..."

"I will definitely live up to Duke Shen's high expectations!"

"Um…"

"I'll stop here for business matters first, and there's a private matter that I want to mention to you as well."

"You are not too young this year."

Master Shen took a bite of the meat skewer in his hand, and his mouth was full of oil. He smiled at Xue Wei while he was eating the skewer: "I will ask Mr. Ying to help you find a suitable girl for you. Family, maybe after you become a family, your personality will settle down a bit."

Xue Wei's face turned red, he quickly stood up, and bowed his head deeply: "Shen...Mr. Shen, my subordinates don't have the heart to think about these things..."

"It's time to think about it."

Master Shen patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "I've got an errand for you."

Xue Wei looked serious, bowed his head deeply: "Shen Gong ordered."

"Five years..."

Shen Yi pondered for a while, then changed his words: "Three years, within three years, leave a seed for yourself."

"In the future, maybe I will take your kid to fight for my life, but I can't let your family lose the incense."

Xue Wei's eyes lit up, then he lowered his head excitedly and said, "Your subordinate obeys..."

…………

Shen Yi valued Xue Wei very much.

Part of the reason for this kind of fancy is that Xue Wei is a bit straightforward. To put it bluntly, he just doesn't have too much heart.

At least, he is much less minded than Ling Su.

This kind of carelessness does not mean that this person is stupid, but more that this person has no scheming.

And people with this personality are relatively trustworthy.

And the more important reason is because of "the difference between relatives and estrangements".

Xue Wei is the "direct descendant" under the command of the upright Shen Yi, because he was single-handedly picked up by Shen Yi from the lowest level, so it can be said that he is upright and Miaohong.

With these two layers of relationship, Xue Wei is different from Ling Su.

Let's put it this way, if one day there is a conflict between the emperor's order and Shen Yi's order, then Ling Su will obey the emperor's order ninety-nine percent, and Xue Wei...

At least there is an [-]% chance that he will be on Shen Yi's side.

And in the other [-]% possibility, he will not fight against Shen Yi.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Yi cares so much about Xue Wei, trying every means to train him.

Although the possibility of him conflicting with the imperial court is not high, with such a loyal subordinate, he will always feel at ease.

Of course, the premise of reusing Xue Wei is that this person has enough ability. If he is really muddy and can't support the wall, Shen Yi can only give up on him slowly.

That night, Shen Yi talked a lot with Xue Wei, until late at night, Xue Wei left from Shen Garden, and returned to the anti-Japanese army camp in the dark.

In the early morning of the next day, Master Shen got up early, put on a thicker winter coat, and got on his horse.

To be honest, riding a horse in this weather is really not a good life. After all, it is already winter, and the cold wind blowing on the body is really uncomfortable.

In this kind of weather, the most suitable thing is to sit in the carriage, and then light a stove in the carriage, and travel comfortably.

But time was running out.

Ling Su's army will arrive at Fuzhou Mansion in about three days. Shen Yi needs to rush to Fuzhou Mansion as soon as possible to take charge of the situation.

Yueqing is about [-] miles away from Fuzhou.

If you take a carriage, it will take six or seven days.
However, Shen Yi and his party rode fast horses to Fuzhou Mansion, and it took only two and a half days, nearly three days, to cover the [-] miles.

By the afternoon of the third day, Shen Yi and others had already seen Fuzhou City from a distance.

Master Shen rode on horseback and waved to the twenty or so brothers behind him.

"Brothers, go to town before dark!"

"tonight."

Shen Yi's voice was low.

“Stay in Fuzhou City!”
