Chapter 51 Sensation
Xu Zixian turned to Kong He again and said, "Brother Xuanping, you have to work harder recently. Together with Fu Qian, Chen Daojian and others, we will check the official and hidden households of six official villages, including the number of households, number of mouths, and number of cents, and the truth will be found."
Kong He smiled and said, "This is a small matter... I think it's a waste of money to ask Fu Qian to do such a thing with me."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, obviously they all agreed with Kong He's words.
Fu Qian is indeed a top smart person. His level of miscellaneous studies is quite good. After paying attention to math, he has made great progress. The key is that this person learns everything quickly. Whether it is a matter in the yamen or a calculation and miscellaneous laws, he can understand it by getting started and learn it as soon as he learns it.
Only then did people gradually understand why Xu Zi had to chase Mr. Fu first, which was indeed a very worthwhile thing.
The prince of the Marquis's family was chasing him back, which was also a scene that changed his destiny in Fu Qian. Now it has been circulated by nearby towns, and the news has gradually spread to the county and the city.
"There are also merchants who come and go daily, and those nearby farmers' farms." Xu Zixian said to Li Yi: "I have to work hard for you this time and say hello to all parties. We will continue to do the previous rules. They will still use a friend or a short-term worker, and they can still hire us and pay according to the original price. I think the account book left by Li Cheng for taking turns to serve will also be followed by the original rules, and there is no need to change it deliberately."
Li Yi clasped his fists and said, "The prince is in a harmonious manner, mature and sophisticated manner, and the subordinates worship him."
"You are polite to Mr. Li."
Li Yi made a modest hand gesture, turned her head and reminded Kong He: "Xuanping must prepare shoes, socks, clothes and hats for dozens of people, each of whom needs three sets. If there is insufficient weapons, you can book at the blacksmith shop in the town. There is also meat, you need to buy a lot of chicken, duck, fish and meat, and store hundreds of stones in the other courtyard. All these things must be prepared in advance, including the residence of Xinya Jiang."
Kong He Lianlian nodded, and everyone discussed some details of recruitment and employment, including repairing and expanding the scope of the villa. Xu Zixian listened on the side and did not participate.
As the highest superior, if you have to take all these details personally, you will not only exhaust yourself, but also show that you are too trivial and have too little confidence in the abilities of your subordinates.
...
In the Qi Palace, Liu Changshi walked towards the doorman calmly. The main entrance of the palace was a large building with seven rooms, with corner doors on both sides of the gate, which was the entrance and exit of daily entrances.
There is a row of buildings inside the East Corner Gate, where the gatekeeper is located. The gate of the royal palace is normally in it. It is all about the gatekeeper.
Guests from the sixth rank royal palace occasionally stay in the doorman, which was the treatment only for court envoys or distinguished guests.
A long way away, Liu Changshi could hear the noise from the doorman. This was also the daily life of the royal palace, and many guests would visit him every day.
There are old friends, old subordinates, officials from Fuzhou, passing officials, some celebrities, gentry, or big businessmen.
Everyone has their own excuses and reasons. After the letter is submitted, the King of Qi may meet him or send his subordinate officials out to dispose of him. Most of them have no clear purpose and just come to visit him. Most of them will not see him. Some of them come to borrow money to make Qiufeng. They will reward some of these people at will and return with satisfaction.
Only those who are close friends and important officials will be directly introduced into the second gate and wait in the inner flower hall or study room.
In recent years, due to the rise of King Zhao, the number of guests in the King of Qi's mansion has been much less than before, but it is still so lively.
Liu Changshi did not intend to alarm the guests in the doorman. The group of people would buzz towards him like flies. He quietly walked to the place near the corner gate, where a few teeth would sit on a stool and chat with the door. In front of them was a table with very exquisite brand new newspapers printed on them.
"All the newspapers have arrived today?"
"It's all here." Menzi stood up, pointed to the newspaper in front of him, and smiled: "Six copies, a total of thirty-five in-house money, and the money has been given."
"I'll use up and report the account before collecting it." Liu Changshi glanced at the newspaper, carefully held it into his hands, and asked, "Is there any news?"
The "news" he asked about was of course not available for printing in the newspaper, and it has been circulating in the market. Generally speaking, there are not many such situations.
"Yes." Menzi was excited and said, "The prince of the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion ambushed the Qishan thieves outside Nan'anze Town last night. Qishan thieves were more than 200 people. The prince only led more than 60 generals. He actually defeated Qishan thieves, beheaded more than 70 levels, and dozens of prisoners and more than 200 pirates, only dozens of them ran away."
"There are even more powerful." A 40-year-old Yajiang interrupted: "Chen Yutai's second brother Chen Yuyong was also killed."
"Really?" Liu Changshi felt a little dizzy and couldn't keep it going.
He had just visited the Nan'an Marquis Mansion a while ago and saw with his own eyes that Qin Dongyang was training a refugee boy.
To be honest, Liu Changshi is not good-looking. He feels a bit ridiculous. Even if it is not a childish nonsense, it will at most be an unqualified comic.
Fifty refugee boys were paired with more than a dozen ordinary generals, trying to challenge the Qishan thieves? Isn’t this a joke about the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on Fujian Road? After returning to the Qi Prince’s Mansion, Liu Changshi gave a very positive evaluation of the Nan'an Houzi, and had a good impression of the prince’s demeanor, appearance, and daily activities. He was just dissatisfied with the report of the thief case by the Houzi Mansion and trained the refugee boys to be the thief generals. Liu Changshi was quite dissatisfied with the fact that he also expressed his views to His Highness the King of Qi in a concealed manner.
King Xu Yingxing of Qi did not comment at that time. Now Liu Changshi regretted it very much. It seems that His Highness of Qi and his own perceptions are different. The facts also proved his shallowness and ignorance, which seems to affect his image and status in the heart of King Qi.
"Of course it's true." Middle-aged Yajiang said a little lonely: "Chen Yuyong's head has been sent to the Pacification Envoy. This is a thief on the sea for many years. The general minister wants to report to the two governments in the capital. It is estimated that the court will have some rewards and rewards. Those who follow the Prince of Nan'an have the opportunity to make meritorious service and receive rewards."
When King Qi was young, he was also an important minister to appease Fujian Road. The generals who followed the King of Qi also had the opportunity to make merits and receive rewards. Now that the King of Qi is old, the generals who stayed in the King of Qi's mansion are just retirement.
"It's amazing, amazing." Liu Changshi couldn't believe it. He had not been published in the newspaper yet, but the matter seemed to be true. I guess the morning newspaper would be logged in tomorrow. You can imagine how sensation this incident will cause.
I remember less than a month ago, Mr. Hou of Nan'an caused a sensation in Fuzhou because of his back. The aftermath has not passed yet and is still fermenting to all directions. I heard that the newspapers in Jiangling and the capital have also been reprinted. Xu Zixian has become famous in the Wei Dynasty. The incident of thieves in Qishan will definitely cause an uproar. In addition to all inland, all the coastal traits have suffered from pirates. It is probably another sensational big news.
"Young hero, amazing, amazing."
"Criminal Prince of Nan'an, I really want to find an opportunity to meet him. See how handsome he is."
“Have a chance.”
Liu Changshi had no idea, his face was complicated, and he quickly left with the newspaper. This news was indeed quite sensational and he had to report it to the King of Qi as soon as possible.
...
Wei Yigang conducted a survey of residents near Sanguantang. There were either wealth or noble here. There were many deep courtyards, but the streets were full of garbage and smelled stench. Although it was late summer and early autumn, there were still mosquitoes and flies on the garbage piles, which did cause a lot of inconvenience to the nearby people.
This matter was led by several gentry and jointly submitted a report to the Fuzhou Government Office, asking the government office to preside over the dredging of garbage dumps and drainage ditches along the street in the name of the local government.
This matter should have been handled by the government, but the government office has been ignored. Wei Yi planned to report it in the social version. It is difficult to say whether it is effective.
This dynasty is quite relaxed in public opinion. Students and gentry can make suggestions or suggestions on local government affairs at will, and even make suggestions to the two governments, and they are rarely restricted or retaliated.
Of course, whether to adopt it is another matter. Wei Yi is deeply aware of the financial difficulties of the government office, and the clean government warehouse can starve rats to death. He is not optimistic about this matter.
But when the interview was about to end, a escort officer suddenly came and announced that he would send people to vigorously clean up nearby streets in the near future. All the expenses would be borne by the government and would not impose levies on the local area to avoid disturbing people's livelihood.
Everyone was very satisfied with this matter, everyone smiled, and even Wei Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
The reports of directly criticizing the government are not impossible to be published. There are even some sensational scandals in various newspapers, but the government office will be very embarrassed and have no sensation. They will only create a relationship between the newspaper and the government office, and will be restricted from interviews in the future.
When everyone dispersed, Wei Yi stopped the detainee and bowed and asked, "I will interview the editor of Wei Yi next week. Why is the matter today so smoothly and successfully resolved?"
"Is the government office rich?" Ai Shi glanced at Wei Yi and said, "I was forced to do it before. Now that I have money on hand, Yang Dafu is of course thinking about the difficulties of the people at the first time."
"Oh? Yes." Wei Yi nodded and said yes, and then asked with a little curiosity: "The Transport Authority allocated money?"
"Bah." The Ai Shi spat on the side of the road and said, "How can the Transportation Commission pay us a penny except for asking for money from Fuzhou people? This is the stolen money that Xu Zi, the Prince of Nan'an, took the Ya General to suppress the Qishan thieves and suppressed!"
"Xu Zixian?"
"Can you recognize the interview?"
"Oh, I'm going to be a friend!"
"Excellent!" Ai Shi gave a thumbs up and praised: "The Prince of Nan'an Hou is so brave, so brave, so good man!"
Wei Yi felt for the first time that admitting that his friend was Xu Zixian was so glorious and honorable! Although Xu Zixian had written famous backs before and received considerable recognition, many people praised Xu Zixian as a filial son, but they did not completely reverse the image of Xu Zixian as a useless royal family playboy.
The fact that the defeat of Qishan thieves this time is obviously far more important than writing articles. From then on, Xu Zi first will enter the eyes of the real big figures in the core circle of power. In this era, local financial resources are tight and military equipment is out of place. The royal family that can fight will definitely attract great attention, and may even make Xu Zi first enter the core circle of power in advance.
