Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1278 Xiao Zhanfeng

"Student Xiao Zhanfeng, I met Dong Weng." The visitor stood at the bottom of the steps and bowed deeply.

Wu Mingjin looked at the young scholar under the steps. He was wearing a blue shirt and a Confucian scarf, obviously a student of the Ming Dynasty.His gestures, words and conversation all show that he is probably a real "scholar", not the rough and poor people who are the favorite of the thieves.

Scholars cast their hair, Wu Mingjin has seen it before, but most of them are still Baiding's children when they are old, and there are only a handful of famous scholars who cast their hair
"Excuse me, sir." Wu Mingjin said politely. When Wang Zhaomin said that Kunren wanted to "invite" a master to "assistantly handle the copywriting" for him, he already knew what was going on.

It is said that it is a master, but it is actually a "supervisor".Wu Mingjin knew that he was going to Leizhou, and he was an official in the territory of the Kun people. Sun Wukong was in the palm of the Tathagata Buddha.

In fact, Wang Zhaomin next to me has become a "seat detective" of Kunren, staring at him all the time?Not to mention that Chief Xiong has prepared a few servants and bodyguards for him.Everyone looked respectful and respectful, but secretly they were all jailers with them.

Thinking of this, Wu Mingjin couldn't help sighing: "Once the officialdom enters the depths of the sea, since then morality is a passerby."If it wasn't for being an official and earning a few more coins in the future, why would I be here? !
With a smile on his face at the moment, he took out the letter of appointment that he had prepared long ago: he wrote it himself, using the big red full post, with the word "Guan Shu" written on it, 24 taels of repair money every year, and another two taels in three festivals.Add a label on the envelope, which says "Old Master Xiao Huicun".

Xiao Zhanfeng accepted the letter of appointment, and the two sides exchanged polite greetings.As usual, Wu Mingjin wanted to entertain Mr. Xiao, and Xiao Zhanfeng sincerely thanked him.

"Students have accepted Dong Weng's seal, and they have to go back and settle down for a while before they can take office with Tang Weng."

"Oh, where is the gentleman from?"

"The student is from Xuwen County."

Not bad.Wu Mingjin thought, Xuwen is a county of Leizhou, so it is much more convenient to have him here.The Kun people are well-intentioned.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the student will go home, and he will be back within two days. The student has ordered someone to book a first-class boat ticket on the Dabo Shipping."

There are regular boats to Guangzhou every day, but there are only one boat with first-class cabins every three days.Mr. Wu and his party will also stay in the private room of the hotel in Bopu for two days - Dabo Shipping has a boat to Guangzhou every two days.

It was true that Xiao Zhanfeng rushed back to Xu Wen that day, but he didn't intend to settle down. Xiao Zhanfeng had no parents, no wife and children, and he was a typical bachelor who could eat enough for the whole family.

He rushed back to Xuwen in order to pre-arrange work in Xuwen - three days ago, Xiao Zhanfeng had been appointed as the deputy station chief of the Leizhou Station of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.He is fully responsible for the official work in Leizhou, and focuses on monitoring Wu Mingjin.

Since Xiao Zhanfeng helped Chang Shide and Wen Tong fight against the unemployed workers who tried to make trouble in the sugar industry war three years ago, he has been appreciated by Chen Tianxiong and others, but Xiao Zhanfeng did not have any interest in doing this .After the collapse of Haiyitang, although he received a gift of 20 taels of silver from Chen Tianxiong, he politely declined the invitation to be a copywriter in the South China Sugar Factory or the Leizhou Sugar Industry Association.

"Students should study hard, at least with a green shirt, and then consider the economic career." Xiao Zhanfeng said to Chen Tianxiong at the time, "I will not be disrespectful of this money, it is just used for the capital of studying."

It turned out that Xiao Zhanfeng was secretly engaged to his cousin's childhood sweetheart.But his family was in such a state of decline, and he was a down-and-out scholar who couldn't study well. Even if his uncle and aunt were not snobbish, they would never marry their daughter to such a down-and-out pauper.

Chen Tianxiong secretly felt that it was a pity that this young man had a chivalrous spirit and a strong thirst for knowledge. Originally, he seemed to train him well, but he did not expect that his only consideration was to study and study.

However, being self-motivated is not a bad thing.Chen Tianxiong nodded immediately: "Since that's the case, I won't force you. If you need anything, you can go to South China. I, the South China Sugar Factory, will always be open to my husband."

The two had a good time drinking under the lychee tree in Xiao Zhanfeng's house. After drinking, they said goodbye to each other.

So this Xiao Zhanfeng began to study seriously without distraction, and finally got the title of "attached student member".Although it is the last class of students, it can still be regarded as a blue shirt.Just as Xiao Zhanfeng rushed to his uncle's house to announce the good news, he got the news that his cousin was engaged and was going to get married some day.

Although he has obtained the fame as a student, he is still a pauper. At best, he can become a Mr. Mengguan to barely make ends meet. His cousin is eighteen years old, so there is no further delay.The actions of his aunt and parents could not be called "shouldn't" in any case. Xiao Zhanfeng had no choice but to return home depressed, but was drenched by heavy rain on the way home, and he fell seriously ill after returning home.

Xiao Zhanfeng, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was disheartened, and harbored hatred for the Ming society, finally decided to go to Chen Tianxiong and decided to "surrender".

"In that case, why don't you go to the Sugar Industry Association to be a copywriter..."

"No, Mr. Chen, I want to go to Lingao." Xiao Zhanfeng said firmly, "to study Australian studies. I heard that the Australians in Lingao set up a school to teach Australian studies. I want to go there to study and find a job under the hands of Australians in the future. future."

Chen Tianxiong was taken aback. He met quite a few intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty. Many of them were interested in "Australian learning", but most of them were categorized as "unique skills and obscenity". to study.I can't help but be cautious:
"If you want to learn from Australia, South China Sugar Factory has nothing to do..."

"Mr. Chen doesn't want students to go to Lingao?" Xiao Zhanfeng said loudly, "I don't know what the Australians do in Lingao! To tell you the truth, I am not a student in Ming Dynasty—I want to go to Lingao Go to Lingao, and become a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty!" He bowed to the end as he spoke: "Please fulfill my master!"

So Xiao Zhanfeng handed over the key of his house to Chen Tianxiong, and asked him to manage it on his behalf.He took some clothes, some books, a seal, and a pair of twisted silk silver bracelets—the "memory" left by his parents, and boarded a sugar boat to Lingao.Since then, he has embarked on the road of serving the Senate and the people.

Xiao Zhanfeng's vote caused a small commotion in the Senate at that time--before that, although there were a few students among the naturalized people in Lingao, they either encountered various natural and man-made disasters and were displaced. , Passive containment comes.Either they really can't live on, and they can make a living in Lingao in order to make a living.No one who has achieved fame has voluntarily defected to Lingao.Xiao Zhanfeng is the first scholar who has a clear-cut stand and a firm stand to "vote for Kun" on his own initiative.

After Xiao Zhanfeng left the quarantine camp, he first went to a national school in Lingao, where he got a Class A diploma, and then attended a civil affairs training class entrusted by the Civil Affairs People's Committee to train local administrative cadres.During his studies, Xiao Zhanfeng not only studied hard, but also submitted letters to discuss matters many times, which meant to "point out the country" and "provide advice and suggestions" for the Senate.However, with the in-depth study and continuous "visiting and studying" in various places in Lingao, Xiao Zhanfeng's letters to letters became less and less, and finally disappeared completely-he soon realized that in governing the country and the people, he was just doing nothing. The class door makes an axe.

After Xiao Zhanfeng graduated, he was sent to several villages in Lingao as the village head, and then he was promoted to the civil affairs coordinator of the commune, and then transferred to Danzhou to work in the Danzhou County Office.He is young and educated, and he has mastered new knowledge and concepts faster and more thoroughly than ordinary farmers and naturalized people who were born as small traders. Approved as the magistrate of Huamin County.

This time he was transferred to Wu Mingjin's side, although it was mainly the intelligence bureau's intention, but the civil affairs department thought it was also a good opportunity for training, so they happily agreed to the secondment.

Xiao Zhanfeng got off the boat in Hai'an with a few entourages, and instead of going back to his home in the county seat, which has no relatives or property, he went directly to the Leizhou Sugar Federation.

He reported to Yan Maoda, the person in charge here, about his upcoming work.Although the stationmaster of Leizhou Station is Wen Tong, his main energy is on the sugar industry, and he doesn't care much about other affairs and has no energy to care about it. The actual person in charge is the deputy stationmaster and the general manager of the Vietnam Trading Company. Yan Maoda is gone.His public identity is the chief deacon of the Leizhou Sugar Association.Secretly controlling all the forces under the Senate in the three counties of Leizhou.

"In the three counties of Leizhou, Xuwen is where we have the deepest control," Yan Maoda introduced the situation. "Whether it's the county magistrate or the clerks in the third class and six houses, we are almost at the point of prohibition. Haikang and Suixi want to It’s worse, but those officials and petty officials have been dealt with, and they generally don’t make trouble for themselves.”

Yan Maoda asked someone to fetch a thick file box from the filing cabinet:

"This is the material I copied for you according to the notice of the Intelligence Bureau. It contains the personal and family information of all the officials and officials in the prefecture and three counties of Leizhou, and the big households. It also contains an overview of the basic situation of the county, including farmers , population, production, etc.”

"Thank you so much, Chief!" Xiao Zhanfeng admired the Australians' style of handling affairs clearly and clearly.He has long realized the criticality of intelligence information in his long-term administrative practice-it can be said that Australians are often invincible in various difficult affairs, which has a great relationship with their ability to grasp and transmit various information at any time .

"Hehe, you are being polite. Wu Mingjin is just a cover, you have to work harder." Yan Maoda said with a smile.
