Chapter 354 Reassurance
Lu Daming and Liang Liu heard from Tang Guozheng that Mr. Han not only took them in, but also supported them like Liang Jiu and Ji Daji Er and others when he had the opportunity. He even paid out of his own pocket to donate money to the gentry of Dean Gu, Yu Qinghuai, Hai'an, Qutang, Baimi, and other gentry. He was both happy and ashamed. He led the village heroes who ran back with them to the gate of the courtyard to kowtow, and then went to the Baojia Bureau. Without having to speak, President Gu patrol the streets and watch the night with the people recruited later.
Unexpectedly, they had just gone to Baojia Bureau for two days, and Ji Daji Er and the others had just returned from Guangzong Yaozu. Chen Hu, who thought he had died in battle, ran back in a mess.
Han Xiufeng was busy discussing with Han Chen, the ambassador of the Jiaoxichang Salt Course Department who came to Hai'an in the morning about how to welcome Lord Guo the day after tomorrow. Dean Gu and Yu Qinghuai met them.
Chen Hu is a native of Hai'an. Most of the village warriors he brought to help the government army to surround the bandits were from Hai'an. As a result, all the fellow villagers he brought were dead. Even his younger brother Chen Biao died. He had no shame to go home to see his sister and brother-in-law, and he was also no shame to face the two most respected gentry in Hai'an. He knelt in front of Dean Gu and Yu Qinghuai, and kept slapping himself.
Seeing that his face was swollen, his hands probably numb, Dean Gu snorted coldly and said in disgust: "If I had known this, why would you have to be? What's the use of slapping the face now? Can your brother and the others survive?"
"Director Gu, a little confused, a little ghost-obsessed..."
"Forget it, because you are ambitious and somewhat conscientious, Mr. Han and your sister and brother-in-law will help you, the Baojia Bureau who died in battle will raise money to help you with pensions. Go take a shower and change your clothes first, and wait until you have lunch."
"Director Xie Gu, Mr. Xie Yu."
"Don't thank you. It's not just you, Chen Hu, Jiang Huai and the others who are in debt. They went to win a battle with Mr. Han, and then they were complacent after earning a reward, forgetting how much they were! "
Yu Qinghuai also pointed at him and cursed: "It's really a pity that I don't believe in myself and believe in outsiders. I'm really self-inflicted! If Mr. Han hadn't been nostalgic for the past, Dean Gu and I wouldn't have helped you, let alone taken in you!"
...
Just as Chen Hu was so ashamed that he cried loudly, Han Chen had already discussed with Han Xiufeng how to receive Mr. Guo, and said another thing: "Zhixing, I have been thinking these days that now, with Lord Guo’s support and care, we have nothing to worry about, but what if Lord Guo is transferred or recalled to Beijing?"
"Mr. Guo asked Changsheng to tell me that he will be the Yunshu Department soon. When the new Yunshu Department takes office, he will most likely be transferred to Huaiyang Road."
"If I can be transferred to Huaiyang Road, what if it is not?"
"Brother Yuzhi, what do you mean?"
Han Chen said bluntly: "Zhixing, we couldn't find fellow villagers before, but now we can find them now, I'm even sure that Xiang Gong also knows that you and me are two fellow villagers in Chongqing in Jiangbei. You are now Lord Guo's family, so it's not good to go to see you, and you can't even send your family. I'm different from you, I can send someone to go."
Han Xiufeng pondered: "Multiple friends and multiple roads."
"It's not just multiple friends, but multiple imperial envoys who hold the power!"
"It's okay to go and meet, but you definitely can't leave. Who are you going to send?"
"Who else can I send besides Han Bo," Han Chen thought for a while and said, "When you mentioned your family, Su Jueming, who was taken over a year ago, seems to have been helping to find out the news outside. Zhang Chi is the way to control it. In my opinion, you can't always let him float outside. Once Han Bo leaves, you will definitely lack people, so you might as well keep him by your side."
Han Xiufeng felt that Han Chen's words made some sense, and couldn't help but smile and said, "He happened to be back. I planned to let him go to the Fairy Temple tomorrow. It's really inappropriate to let him go out after you say this."
"Then let him stay with you."
"By the way, Han Bo is going to pay a visit to Mr. Xiang. I happened to have a few letters for him to send."
"I know, didn't you say it when you went to Taizhou last time? Director Zhang of the Provincial Pavilion asked you to send a letter to Xue Huan."
"I didn't expect you to remember it in my heart. Brother Yuzhi said that when I asked Han Bo to pay homage to Lord Xiang, I suddenly remembered two things."
Han Chen asked subconsciously: "What's the matter?"
Han Xiufeng held the teacup and smiled, "Zhou Xingyuan, you know that he and I don't know each other, but they are a friendship. I know him very well. Whether it's my friend or help me find out about the news, it's a stopgap trick for him. He said he was disheartened about his career, but he still remembered the rebirth in his heart."
"He is different from Li Changjing. I remembered that he was approved by the emperor's grace."
"So he should not expect to make a comeback in his life, even Lord Guo can't help him. I don't know other places, but there are only two people who can help him turn over in Liangjiang. One is Qishan outside Yangzhou City, and the other is our fellow villager of the imperial envoy who came from the army."
"Let him go to Jiangnan with Han Bo, and let Go Xiang take his luck there?"
"Well, I can't think of a better way."
"Zhixing, this is not a trivial matter. Not to mention Han Bo, even if you and I go there in person, I can't open this question to help him introduce it."
"There is no need for Han Bo to speak, just ask him to bring my letter to Liu Cunhou. Although Liu Cunhou and I have no friendship and have never even met each other, Liu Cunhou has gone from the capital to serve the adults. It is impossible not to know what the relationship between Lord Duan, Huang Jingshi and Ji Hanlin is. This face will definitely be given."
"You, what a good old man."
"What a good man? I owe him a favor. If it weren't for the Great Seal of the Governor of Liangjiang from Jiangning, what a great victory in Wanfuqiao is? Not to mention disturbing the emperor, I'm afraid even Qishan wouldn't help Liubaili to report urgently."
"That's right, you can owe anything, but you can't owe anyone favors." Han Chen nodded slightly, thought about it and asked again, "What about the second thing?"
"Don't Lord Duan asks the new censor to Cha Wenjing to send me a letter? I have received the letter, but I forgot to send someone to visit me because of this and that. He is not just a censor, but now he is also acting as the governor of the grain transportation. If Lord Guo is transferred to Huaiyang Road and also the grain service, he will be my boss of Han Xiufeng's boss at that time."
The Governor of Liangjiang is far away in Jiangning, and there is no way to control the people and affairs of Jiangbei.
Therefore, after the fall of Jiangning, the court ordered the former governor of the grain transport, Yang Dianbang, to take charge of Jiang defense affairs, and the local government affairs in Jiangbei were also under the supervision of the grain transport. The same is true now, but the situation in Yangzhou Prefecture is quite special. Not only is there the imperial envoy of Qishan, but there is also the left deputy chief censor Lei Yicheng who is responsible for military affairs. Local officials in Yangzhou must report to Lei Yicheng and even Qishan no matter what happens. But no matter what, checking Wenjing is the largest civil servant in Jiangbei. If you can curry favor, you will naturally have to curry favor.
Thinking of this, Han Chen blurted out and said, "Zhixing, if you don't mention it, I can't remember it. You should go to see you, and you have to prepare a generous gift!"
"How about letting the national government go?"
"You can only let Guozheng go, but once Guozheng leaves, will there be no one on your side?"
"Isn't there Su Jueming? Besides, what can I do now?"
"Yes, you're really fine now."
...
As the two chatted, they talked about Guo Peilin again.
Han Chen has not been supported for a long time, nor has he been taken care of by his fellow villagers. This official was uneasy and was walking on thin ice. Not only was he always cautious, but he was also used to being prepared for danger in times of peace. He put down his teacup and said worriedly: "Mr. Guo is now in response to your requests, and even plans to go on a patrol in person to help you raise food and funds. You can raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while. When the troops are fully recruited, you may be able to lead troops to fight at any time!"
"No." Han Xiufeng smiled confidently: "Yuzhi, don't worry, guarding Wanfu Bridge is my first and last battle."
"How is that possible? If Lord Guo didn't plan to lead your troops to fight, why did you go back to Hai'an to rebuild the salt camp, and why did you recruit more rural brave men?"
"If the war is tight, I will definitely have to go to the battle, but I will definitely not let me go."
"Why can't it?" Han Chen was puzzled.
Han Xiufeng smiled and explained: "Training troops and fighting wars are different. Lord Guo not only knows that I am afraid of death, but also knows that I have no ambitions. The reason why I came to Jiangsu to be an official is just to get rid of the cold. And Lord Duan, Censor Huang, Censor Ji Hanlin and Mr. Ao asked him to take care of him after he took office. If I really have a few shortcomings, how could he explain to Lord Duan and Censor Huang?"
"Since that's the case, why don't he let you retire?"
"Yuzhi, you just sighed that our subordinates had no one to be available. Lord Guo came here for the first time and was about to be at the most critical moment. Even the yamen of the Yunsi had to move to Taizhou. Why was his subordinates no one to be available? Leaving me, at least we can rebuild the salt capture camp and help him train hundreds of soldiers outside the salt capture camp. If I leave, who will help him do his best to do his best?"
"I said why are you not worried at all? It turns out that you don't have to go to war as long as you train troops."
"After learning from one's mistakes, Xu Laogui's previous lessons were placed there. I was worried and scared at first, but I didn't understand it later."
"What do you think of?" Han Chen asked curiously.
"Mr. Guo is not Xu's old ghost," Han Xiufeng smiled and said proudly: "When I was in Taizhou, I was a lot of people, so many words were inconvenient to Mr. Guo. It was not until a few days ago that Changsheng gave me a message, asking me not to worry, saying that no matter how tight the war is in the future, I will not let me go."
Han Chen said enviously: "I'm relieved. Zhixing, you said you are so lucky. Not only will you be supported by Lord Duan and other fellow villagers, you can also meet Shangguan as good as Lord Guo."
Han Xiufeng laughed and said, "Maybe it was because I was always lucky in the past, and it was my turn to turn my luck."
