Chapter 696 Moral kidnapping?

After Mr. Shen arrived in Xin'an County, he had a good meal with Sun Zhixian to catch up on the old days. After the old time, he simply stayed in Xin'an County and did not return to Guangzhou Mansion.

Because the big boss has not replied to him yet, he needs the big boss to give him permission before he can go back to Guangzhou Mansion to discuss further terms with Zhu Gui.

According to Shen Yi's estimation, after he obtained the authorization from the emperor, he would be able to negotiate terms with Zhu Futai head-on. Wei, there is no need to take into account the views of the local yamen.

And Shen Yi also reserved some room for concessions for himself. After all, he can't stay in the southeast all the time. The Shibosi and Guangzhou Wei still need to communicate with the local yamen. If Zhu Gui has the sincerity to talk to him, Shen Yi can give Guangdong The governor's yamen is a discount on the commercial tax of the city's shipping department.

That is to say, when merchant ships that have received the approval from the governor's office pass through the Municipal Bureau of Shipping, the Municipal Bureau of Shipping can give them a discount.

Shen Yi's expectation in his heart was [-]% off, and the bottom line was [-]% off.

Of course, it would be best if [-]% of the talks can be settled, so that everyone has reached a mutual compromise, and the local government should not be too entangled after they have nothing to do with the Municipal Bureau.

And in this way, Shen Yi himself will not get too stiff with Zhu Gui, lest he will not be able to talk to Zhang Xiang when he comes to Jiankang in the future.

This is actually a kind of profit sharing in disguise, but in the later period, the Shibo Division must make a certain limit on the "quota" of this discount, otherwise it will be no different from the [-]% or [-]% of the governor's office. .

This is also a compromise that has to be made in the officialdom.

Shen Yi lived in Xin'an County for seven days. On this day, when he was playing with Sun Zhi County at the seaside, Jiang Sheng brought a letter sealed in kraft paper and hurried to Shen Yi. He handed the letter to Shen Yi with both hands. In front of Shen Yi, he bowed his head and said, "My lord, I have an urgent letter from Jiankang."

Shen Yi nodded, reached out to take the letter, and then opened it in front of Sun Li. Sun Zhixian knew the rules very well, and took a few steps slightly, not standing beside Shen Yi.

After opening the letter and reading it, Master Shen's face was calm. He looked at Sun Li and said with a smile: "Brother Jisheng, I'm afraid I can't live in Xin'an any longer. I have some business and I have to leave tomorrow. Go to Guangzhou Mansion."

Hearing this, Sun Li was a little bit reluctant, but he still sighed and said, "To be honest, the local accent is hard to find, and I really want to keep you in Xin'an for a month or two, but brother Yu knows in his heart that Ziheng, you I'm sorry, I can't delay your future."

He looked at Shen Yi, with a relieved smile on his face: "When will I leave tomorrow, I will send Ziheng off."

Shen Yi thought for a while, and said: "It's not urgent, it's not too late to leave after breakfast tomorrow."

This letter is a letter written by the emperor to him. To be precise, it should be the emperor's will. It is clearly stated in the letter that the city ship department is allowed to announce the tax amount, and the local government is not allowed to participate in the city ship department's taxation. The subordinate five guards can arrest smuggled merchant ships by themselves, and after checking the facts, they can directly write to the household department without going through the local yamen.

This greatly expands the authority of the Shibosi and the Coastal Dusi, so that these two yamen will not be subject to the local yamen, nor will they be constrained by the local yamen.

To be honest, after receiving this letter, Shen Yi was very excited. After all, his judgment did not go wrong, and the emperor was still willing to support him.

With this letter, Shen Yi will have enough confidence to negotiate with Zhu Gui and the others.

Things in Guangdong can also be handled well.

As a result, Master Shen's spirit has improved a lot, he only feels lighter and healthier, and he walks much faster than usual.

That night, in order to see Shen Yi off, Sun Li arranged a large table of seafood for Shen Yi to have a delicious meal.

After it got dark, Master Shen went back to his room, because he had to go on a journey the next day, so he planned to rest earlier.

Shen Yi entered the room and took off his coat, and there was a knock on the door. Master Shen frowned slightly and asked, "Who is it?"

Jiang Sheng outside the door bowed his head and said, "My lord, I have an urgent letter from Jiankang."

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "Another letter?"

"Yes."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head and said, "Master Zhang delivered it urgently from the official post..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "It was also sent in an expedited six hundred miles."

Hearing this, Shen Yi couldn't sit still and stood up immediately.

He understood that something must have happened, otherwise Zhang Jian would not have written to herself in such a hurry.

You must know that only by urgently reporting to the military newspaper can the express delivery be sent from the six hundred miles of the official post, and Zhang Jian, as a sixth-rank official, theoretically has no rank to use six hundred miles to expedite the delivery.

But Zhang's family is a prime minister, so it's not difficult for him to use some resources to expedite the trip by six hundred miles.

Shen Yi stood up from the bed, walked to the door, opened the door, and took the letter from Jiang Sheng.

After glancing at the handwriting on the envelope and confirming that it was Zhang Jian's own handwriting, Shen Yi immediately opened the letter by the candlelight in the room.

At this moment, the door of Shen Yi's room was not closed tightly, and a cool summer wind blew in, flickering the candlelight in the room.

The candlelight shone on Shen Yi's face, making Master Shen's expression cloudy and uncertain.

He stood alone in the same place, standing still for a long time, and also remained silent for a long time.

He didn't know how long it had been before he glanced at Jiang Sheng outside the door and took a deep breath: "I'm writing two letters now, and you can send them back to Jiankang quickly with the residence newspaper."

Jiang Sheng bowed his head and said yes.

Shen Yi paused, and then said: "Also, let Xue Wei come to see me tomorrow morning."

Jiang Sheng nodded again.

Master Shen sat on the small table in the room, picked up a pen, and only spent a cup of tea time to write the two letters. He took the letter, walked to the door of the room, and handed it to Jiang Sheng.

"Send it as soon as possible."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head and said, "Yes..."

"Go."

Shen Yi stood at the door of the room, watching Jiang Sheng leave.

After an unknown amount of time, he turned around and sat by the bed alone in a daze, no longer feeling sleepy.

The candle flickered.

It didn't go out until after midnight.

Not because Shen Yi fell asleep, but because a candle had burned out.

As for Master Shen, he sat by the bed the whole night and was lost in thought.

It was only after daybreak that Shen Yi slowly stood up from the bed. He got dressed, washed his face, and walked out of the room.

As always, he went to find Sun Li, had breakfast with Sun Zhixian, and then he said goodbye to Sun Li and left.

At this time, Jiang Sheng had already prepared the horses, but Xue Wei hadn't had time to come.

Shen Yi looked at his mount, frowned and said, "Change the carriage."

Jiang Sheng was stunned, feeling a little aggrieved.

Because riding back to Guangzhou mansion today was arranged by Shen Yi himself yesterday.

But since Shen Yi gave the order, Jiang Sheng quickly found a carriage. After Mr. Shen got into the carriage, he sat in the carriage leisurely and said, "Go slowly, wait for Xue Wei."

According to Shen Yi's instructions, the carriage walked slowly on the official road. It took a whole day to walk, but it only traveled twenty or thirty miles.

When it was close to noon the next morning, Xue Wei, who went to Seagull Island for a field trip, finally rushed to Shen Yi's carriage, bowed and cupped his fists in salute to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi ordered the carriage to stop, then sat on the carriage and signaled Xue Wei to get up.

Master Shen on the carriage glanced silently at Xue Wei, and after a moment of silence, he said: "General Xue, after I leave, you follow the original plan, while cleaning up the bandits near the sea, while recruiting the Guangzhou Guards, and recruit as soon as possible." Five thousand soldiers and horses are good for training."

Although Xue Wei felt that Shen Yi's tone was a bit wrong, he clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, your subordinates will get Guangzhou Wei up as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Shen Yi said lightly: "Write to me if you have anything to do."

Xue Wei was finally stunned.

He looked up at Shen Yi, and said in astonishment: "Mr. Shen, aren't you...in Guangzhou City?"

At such a close distance, there is no need to write a letter.

Shen Yi shook his head.

"No, I'm going back to Fuzhou."

Xue Wei's eyes widened.

He was completely bewildered.

Shen Yi's purpose in going south to Guangdong was to supervise the city ship department and Guangzhou Wei. Right now, Guangzhou Weidu is still in its infancy, and the city ship department even has no rudimentary form. As the boss, why is he leaving?

He said in astonishment: "Mr. Shen, is there something urgent in Fuzhou?"

"I haven't heard of it."

Shen Yi shook his head, and said lazily: "It's Guangdong. I don't have anything to do. You are welcome to run your Guangzhou Guard. After a while, people from the palace will come to run the city ship department. Am I here?" all the same."

"The capital in Fuzhou still has a lot of work to do. I'm going back to Fuzhou."

Master Shen silently glanced at Xue Wei, and continued: "If you encounter something in Guangzhou, or if you can't do it anymore, you can go to Fuzhou to find me."

After saying this, Shen Yi closed the curtain of the carriage, and said lazily: "Let's go, transfer to Fuzhou."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, even Jiang Sheng was stunned.

My son, you obviously had to go to Guangzhou City yesterday, why are you going to Fuzhou today?

But Shen Yi ordered, he didn't dare to question, so he quickly ordered the driver to transfer to Fuzhou.

And Master Shen in the carriage narrowed his eyes slightly.

Since the person in the imperial court is secretly poking behind his back, then let's do this job in Guangdong, whoever you like.

Anyway, what he should do has been done.

There will be no shortage of Guangdong Shipping Department and Guangzhou Wei, and they will definitely be built before the end of the year.

Now that the groundwork has been done, no one can blame him for anything.

The emperor had no room to find fault with him.

If it is other civil servants in the imperial court, for the sake of their future in the imperial court, for the sake of the so-called father, they may endure their grievances, finish their work in Guangdong, and then return to Jiankang City, pretending that nothing happened Pass.

But Shen Yi won't.

Thinking of this, Master Shen in the carriage groaned in his heart.

Want to kidnap me morally?

Father quit!
