Chapter 141 Returning to the capital! Here we come!

Chapter 141 Return to Beijing! (Coming!)

Zhang Heng was also a little uneasy. After all, he didn't want to see his achievements destroyed by his successor.

However, his worries were unnecessary, because the person who came was an old acquaintance of his.

Bao Zheng.

"It turns out it's you, the boss, hahahaha!"

Zhang Heng was very happy.

Bao Zheng looked at Zhang Heng in surprise: "I'm here to take over. Do you need to be so happy?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Of course I'm happy..."

Zhang Heng told Bao Zheng what he had done in Quanzhou, and Bao Zheng fell into deep thought.

Zhang Heng looked a little anxious: "Why, Master Bao, doesn't he think Quanzhou can develop business?"

Bao Zheng was awakened from his deep thoughts. When he saw Zhang Heng was a little anxious, he said with a smile: "I have figured out why your master recommended me to come here. So that's it."

Zhang Heng said in surprise: "Did your tutor recommend you?"

Bao Zheng nodded and said: "I'm still surprised. You've only been in Quanzhou for less than a year. Why did you send me to take over your shift? So that's what happened."

Even so, Zhang Heng was still worried: "Master Bao..."

Bao Zheng looked at Zhang Heng in surprise and said: "I don't understand one thing very well. Although I am older than you and can be regarded as your superior, now we have the same official position. After we return, we will probably surpass me soon."

, why do you keep calling me Mr. Boss, Mr. Bao?"

Zhang Heng smiled when he heard this and thought to himself, if he doesn't call you Master Bao when he sees you, why should he call you Bao Qingtian?

When Bao Zheng saw that Zhang Heng didn't say anything, he didn't bother to ask: "We are colleagues. You can just call me Xiren from now on. There is no need to be so polite."

Zhang Heng smiled and nodded: "Brother Naxi, here in Quanzhou..."

Bao Zheng smiled and said: "The rules and regulations follow, so don't worry."

Zhang Heng was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you Brother Xiren!"

With Bao Zheng here, Zhang Heng could finally return to Bianjing with peace of mind. Before leaving, Zhang Heng introduced Quanzhou maritime merchants to Bao Zheng and asked them to consult Bao Zheng if they had anything to do.

But Zhang Heng was still worried. Before leaving, he took Bao Zheng and gave him endless instructions: "...Brother Xiren, please pay attention. You must keep an eye on the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Don't let the subordinate officials reach out randomly. In addition,

…”

Bao Zheng finally couldn't help it anymore: "I said Zhang Juzheng, can you be such a mother-in-law? Don't you know this? You only need to say that business matters are closely related to the prosperity of the people of Quanzhou. I hope I will be more careful."

That’s enough, there’s no need to say so much!”

Zhang Heng couldn't help but chatter, and finally turned around and boarded the boat.

Bao Zheng said he was disgusted, but he said in his heart: Zhang Juzheng is really a good official. Looking at these farewell merchants and people, it is enough to see how much he cares for the people...

He turned to look at the people seeing each other off at the pier. The elder in front held the Wanmin umbrella and knelt down with the people crying in the direction of the ship's departure.

"He is a good official!" Bao Zheng said, "What he has done is also a good thing, so let me help you take care of these things!"

——

The white summer sun shone on the deck, and the tanned sailors climbed up to the heights to look into the distance, while Zhang Heng sat in the shadows and looked at the vast sea.

In fact, it is summer, a season with many storms. In fact, you should not go north by sea at this time. Although you are along the coastline, it is still dangerous if a storm comes. However, Zhang Heng is eager to return, but he chooses to do so regardless of the obstruction.

By sea.

Fortunately, it was calm along the way. Zhang Heng landed in Haizhou and entered Beijing by land. From here, it was already very fast. It only took two days to reach Bianjing.

The two brothers Zeng Youwei and Zhang Jun came outside the city gate. They had not seen each other for more than a year, and they were almost in tears.

Fan Wuji and others were dismissed by Zhang Heng and asked to go home respectively. He and his brother Zeng Youwei and Zhang Chun returned to the yard next to the Imperial College.

When I got home, I first offered incense to my parents, then took a bath and had dinner.

Because Zeng Youwei came, the three brothers couldn't eat under the eaves, which was quite a pity, but after all, they were reunited after a long separation, and they had a very happy chat.

Zhang Heng asked: "Big brother and second brother, Qiu Wei should be starting soon. How are you preparing?"

Zhang Shu smiled and said: "That's a matter of hands-on control. Third brother, you have been worried too much. It depends on the eldest brother and the second brother. I will show you good results in the exam. I dare not say anything about Jieyuanhuiyuan. But there should be no problem getting on the list!”

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Although the teacher said that our foundation is very solid and our articles are above average, the scientific examination is not that easy. However, we have indeed done enough preparations. I am supervising your second brother every day, so you can rest assured."

Of course Zhang Heng has nothing to worry about. Even if he fails the exam, he still eats and drinks and memorizes the exam slowly. Thirty-year-old Ming Jing, fifty-year-old Jinshi. Those who take the Jinshi exam are still young at fifty years old.

Moreover...the teacher Zeng Gongliang should have presided over this examination, so the eldest brother and the second brother would probably not fail.

After dinner, Zhang Heng followed Zeng Youwei to the Zeng Mansion. Zeng Xiaokuan went to work as a magistrate in another place. However, Zeng Xiaozong and Zeng Xiaochun were there, and the young people were very happy together.

Mrs. Zeng was especially happy. She looked at Zhang Heng and Zeng Youwei for a while and felt they were a perfect match.

This made Zhang Heng couldn't help but take a closer look at Zeng Youwei, well, she's grown up.

Don’t ask where it is big, it’s big everywhere.

Although Zeng Youwei has a demure temperament and looks relatively calm even in her early teens, she is a little girl after all, but now she has gradually entered the teenage period. Coupled with her temperament, she does look very pretty. It was so rare that even Zhang Heng couldn't help but his heart stopped.

Zeng Gongliang returned home in the evening and was very happy to see Zhang Heng had arrived: "I originally wanted to come back earlier, but I was hampered by things, so it was still a little late."

Zhang Heng asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Zeng Gongliang was more willing to talk to this disciple. When Zhang Heng asked, he said: "It's still a matter of the Yi people causing rebellion..."

This was not the first time that the Yi people had rebelled. After Liu Hang, Yang Wei and others put down the first resistance struggle of the prisoners in Guiyang, in February this year, under the leadership of Tang He and others, the Yi people rose up again.

Zhao Zhen ordered the Jinghu South Road Transportation Department, the Penal and Prison Department and other local chief executives to send troops to attack in a timely manner.

In fact, we are still arguing about the two policies of recruitment and encirclement and suppression.

Some people think that Tang He and others have been in rebellion for several years, and have defeated the official army and killed many Song soldiers. If the Song army launches a large-scale crusade, it may cause border troubles. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out recruitment and request the court to appoint Tang He as the leader of the Yi people. leader.

However, some people think that Tang He's army only has more than a thousand people. The reason why they have been "robbers" for many years is because the court tolerated traitors and did not pursue them fiercely. All they need to do is find officials who are very familiar with the situation in the Ya people's area and lead them to dare to The dead soldiers can lead the way to suppress the rebellion. The condition is that the court will reward the soldiers with more property.

"... Anyway, everyone has their own reasons. It was so noisy that it gave me a headache!"

Zeng Gongliang shook his head repeatedly.

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Whose party does the teacher belong to?"

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "Being a teacher is just a matter of listening, and there is no need to speak."

Well, this is in line with Zeng Gongliang's principles.

Zhang Heng asked about the appointment.

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "It's nothing special. I just feel that there is no good place to stay in Quanzhou. You have been here for nearly a year, and it's time to come back to the center to continue your studies. The official family just happened to

I need a live-in guy, and it wouldn’t be a good idea for you to go there, so I made a recommendation, but I didn’t expect that the officials actually approved it.”

Zhang Heng couldn't help but be speechless. How could he be a courtier and know the state well?

The magistrate is in charge of the affairs of a state. Although there are still constraints from general edicts, it is basically decided with one word. What is a living official? He is a historian who repairs living notes. He stands next to the emperor every day and does not say anything.

Everything he did was recorded, like a voyeur.

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "Why, you don't look down on Xiuxijuzhu?"

Zhang Heng said helplessly: "Isn't this matter too boring?"

Zeng Gongliang laughed and said, "It's in vain that I always thought that you see things very clearly. You can't even understand this matter. There are many benefits to being a layman."

Zhang Heng saw that Zeng Gongliang wanted to give him advice, so he quickly cooperated: "Please give me some advice from the teacher."

As expected, Zeng Gongliang said with a smile on his face: "Chili Lang is a very popular job for people with lofty ideals. Once he comes, although Chili Lang cannot express his opinions, when officials and ministers discuss political affairs, Chili Lang will listen in so that things can be discussed.

Recording it, just this alone is already a huge benefit.

Think about it, how heroic the officials are, and they are the smartest people in the world who can discuss political affairs with them. If you follow them every day, it won't take long for you to have a comprehensive view of the overall situation.

In the eyes of many people, this Julang's job is no worse than that of the two-system official. In fact, the Zhizhigao and Hanlin bachelors mainly observe political affairs and learn from this perspective.

Moreover, the ordinary man follows the officials every day. Do you think the officials will look at you differently? Jane is in the emperor's heart, so you don't have to worry about your future career!"

Zhang Heng thought about it and realized that this is true, but accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, you have to be cautious every day, and he feels uncomfortable just thinking about it!

Here you go, many brothers voted for me monthly, thank you all for your monthly votes, thank you!
