marquis of jingan

Chapter 657

While the two were talking in the carriage, the carriage had already stopped slowly. Li Mu lifted the curtain and took a look, and found that he did not enter Yueqing County, but stopped at the main entrance of a manor.

There are two words hanging on the gate of the manor.

Shen Yuan.

The prince of Jin jumped out of the carriage, first took a look at the gate of the manor, then looked back at Shen Yi who also got off the carriage, and said with a smile: "I remember when I left Yueqing, it was still a piece of white land, so short It’s really amazing that a garden was built in this time.”

"Because there are craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry."

Shen Yi said with a smile: "There are more than 100 craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, and each of them brought a few apprentices. After they finished building the ship, they were free, so I asked them to come here to help me build the garden. It took four years to build."

While pulling Li Mu into the garden, Master Shen greeted Cheng Tingzhi behind him, Ling Su Xue Wei and others into the garden, and said, "I'm using this as a public weapon for private use."

Li Mu had the highest status, walked in the front, and said with a smile, "It's not okay to use public equipment for private use. Ziheng, you are an imperial envoy, so it's reasonable to have an official residence."

Hearing the word "official residence", Shen Yi thought for a while and asked, "My lord, where is your commander-in-chief planning to set up? If it is located in Yueqing, this garden can be given to you as an official residence."

Li Mu coughed and glanced at Shen Yi.

When Shen Yi heard this, he didn't answer, but just smiled slightly: "Your Majesty seems to be in a much better mood."

Li Mu stroked his chin thoughtfully, then turned his head to look at Shen Yi, and said with a smile, "What does Ziheng think?"

"must."

The wounds on his body were only flesh wounds, and he had healed before returning to Jiankang.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about a little celebrity like Shen Yi in the court. Take Shen Yi's great-grandfather as an example. In the court back then, he only achieved the position of a member of the Sixth Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was able to leave a big family in Jiangdu. By the time of Shen Yi's generation, the great-grandfather's descendants were already dozens or hundreds of them.

Li Mu has the highest status, and was pushed by Shen Yi to the main seat. As for the second place, Shen Yi originally wanted Cheng Tinghe, who is a second-rank official, to sit there, but Cheng Tingzhi insisted not to sit, and Shen Yi is considered the master here. , so he, the fifth-rank official, sat down with a cheeky face.

Cheng Tingzhi glanced at the two people, bowed his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, with your official residence in the capital, the lower officials can rest assured that Fuzhou Guard will not do anything wrong in Fuzhou again. If your official residence is located in Yueqing, the lower officials will not be at ease. "

"It's rare to come to Zhejiang this time, and no local officials came to greet me. Otherwise, dealing with them would be very annoying."

"Ziheng, my old injury hasn't healed yet..."

The same is true for Shen Yi.

After talking about the matter, Jin Shizi stood up from the chair, stretched his waist and said, "I'm also sleepy after driving all the way. Ziheng find me a place. I'm going to sleep for a while."

He glanced at Shen Yi, smiled and said: "These local officials took people to the brothel while drinking. I hang out with them. Maybe when I return to Jiankang at the end of the year, I can take a grandson back for my father."

"At that time, we can start to form the Fuzhou Guard."

Li Mu was not as lively and witty as Zhang Jian, and it was rare for him to tell a joke, but his status was too high, he was the emperor's cousin, so no one dared to laugh, and the scene was slightly embarrassing for a while.

"To no avail."

He said this because he was unwilling to meet the generals of the anti-Japanese army, fearing that the court would misunderstand that he wanted to lead the army.

As for Ling Su, Xue Wei and others, they are naturally the last ones.

The decision on this matter is actually in the hands of Shen Yi. Although Li Mu can express his opinion, it is absolutely impossible for him to express his opinion.

After saying a few words, Ling Su and Xue Wei went down to arrange the dinner, while Shen Yi looked at Li Mu and asked, "My lord, where are you planning to set up your official residence?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, you are handsome, and you must meet the people below, at least today. As for the future, you will see if you want, and you will not see if you don't want to."

Cheng Tingzhi took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, Xueshi Shen, I was serving as the chief envoy of Fujian last year. I know that there is still silver in the Fujian government treasury. As long as the capital office is located in Fuzhou, Fujian is willing to pay for the establishment of the capital office."

He yawned.

In this era, every occupant of social resources, as long as there is no health problem, will quickly spread out.

Cheng Tingzhi looked calm, lowered his head slightly and said: "Although Yueqing is a good place, it is also the place where the anti-Japanese army camp is located, but it is a county after all, and the anti-Japanese army camp should only accommodate 5000 people. Let's see, Yueqing can As the seat of Wenzhou Wei, it is not suitable as the official residence of the capital."

"But the news travels fast."

Only Master Shen said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty's sword is really not in vain."

He looked back at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Since Ziheng built this place with all his heart, I can't win people's love. In my opinion, it's better to keep this garden, even if you, Ziheng, don't work in the southeast. Well, it is also possible for family members or servants of the family to come here to take care of it, and when they become famous and go to the south of the Yangtze River in the future, they can come here to rest."

He mainly wanted to use the military power of the capital to rectify the officialdom in Fujian by means of thunder.

After sitting down, Shen Yi looked at Ling Su, and said, "General Ling, your son has been appointed as the commander of the coastal capital. You should have received the news. Tonight, I will hold a banquet in Shen Yuan. When the time comes, you Bring over all the generals from the Anti-Japanese Army with more than a hundred households, and come to see Dushuai."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Cheng Tingzhi felt a lot more confident. He cupped his hands and said to Shen Yi: "Fujian Governor's Yamen, I will fully support the Fuzhou Shipping Department and the Dusi Yamen!"

Ling Su, Xue Wei and the others stood up immediately, clasped their fists respectfully and said, "I obey!"

After a few words from the three of them, the official residence of the coastal capital was settled.

The two looked at the new governor of Fujian in unison.

"Fuzhou borders Zhejiang in the north and Guangdong in the south, and..."

"Yes, then I will deal with them."

The two laughed, and the atmosphere eased up a bit.

Shen Yi shook his head with a smile: "It's better for the son to eat and drink with them, so that I can have time to do something."

He smiled and said: "It can also be left to future generations, it can be regarded as an inheritance of the Shen family."

Master Shen also stood up, and said: "That's because there is no local yamen for writing."

Shizi rolled his eyes and said, "Go and deal with them. I am here to visit the mountains and rivers this trip, but I don't have the energy to deal with those local officials."

What he said was somewhat official, but Shen Yi could understand his thoughts.

Li Mu didn't like to joke in the past, but he has told several jokes today.

Li Mu thought for a while, then nodded.

Li Mu repeatedly shook his head.

After thinking for a while, Shen Yi said to Li Mu: "Your Majesty can indeed consider setting up the capital office in Fuzhou, but how to set up the five guards along the coast, the standards for conscription, and the candidates for the five commanders still need to be determined. Yueqing decided, I mean, the son can handle military affairs in Yueqing for the time being, and the son will take people to Fuzhou after the completion of the Dusi Yamen in Fuzhou."

He doesn't need to have many sons, only three or four. After three generations, he will have dozens of descendants. At that time, the family property will not be too much, but only too little. This garden in Yueqing will also become a family The meat and potatoes in people's eyes.

"Everything Cheng Zhongcheng said makes sense."

Li Mubai glanced at Shen Yi, a little helpless: "I should ask Ziheng about this kind of thing, not Ziheng asking me."

After all, wherever the capital is, there is a high probability that Shen Yi will be there. If Shen Yi is not in Fuzhou, he will borrow troops from the Fuzhou Guard, and the commander of the Fuzhou Guard may not agree to him.

Li Mu and Shen Yi looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Cheng Zhongcheng started to solicit business for Fuzhou before he took office, but even if the coastal capital is located in Fuzhou, Fuzhou's military strength is only one guard, which is no different from Yueqing."

Shen Yi touched his chin with his hand, and was about to speak when Cheng Tingzhi, who had been silent at the side, suddenly looked at the two of them. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "My son, Shen Xueshi, why not set it in Fuzhou?"

Said, Shen Yi looked at Cheng Tingzhi, smiled and said: "When the time comes to recruit soldiers in Fuzhou, we will need Zhongcheng's help."

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then sighed silently: "Forget it, let me heal the wound on my body tonight."

"How can there be an official residence outside the city?"

"Moreover."

Shen Yi also stretched his waist and said: "Look, people from the Wenzhou government office will come to visit the prince tomorrow, and in a few days, the Zhejiang governor's office and the Sansi office will all come."

While the two of them were talking, they had already entered the main hall of Shen's house. Although there was no owner living here, there were people cleaning it all the time, and everyone sat down in the main hall according to their seats.

He looked up at Shen Yi, and said, "Besides, the Japanese plague in Guangdong has not been eradicated. If the capital's official residence is located in Fuzhou, it can coordinate the overall situation along the coast, and take care of both the north and the south."

"Seeing this anti-Japanese army, thinking of the future coastal five guards, and the situation in the southeast is improving, I am naturally in a good mood."

Li Mu said slowly: "Plus, you don't need to work."

He reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder with a narrow smile on his face.

"I feel better..."
