Chapter 1987 Hedong has become Hexi in half a year
After Zhu Pingan arrived in Shaoxing, the handover with Li Tianchong went smoothly. Li Tianchong cooperated and handed over all the official seals, yamen, and documents to Zhu Pingan, and accompanied Zhu Pingan to do the inventory. After confirming that the warehouse and the treasury were correct, Li Tianchong immediately set off for Yingtian and obeyed the orders of Zhang Jing, the governor of Jiangnan.
On the first day after arriving in Shaoxing, Zhu Ping'an moved into the Shaoxing Governor's Office and officially took office as the governor of Zhejiang.
Although Zhu Pingan is the highest official in Zhejiang, equivalent to a senior official in a province, the governorship is a new matter at this time. Only provinces with certain troubles (such as rebellions, uprisings, Japanese pirates, etc.) have governors. He was in charge of the administrative, judicial and military powers of a province. After the matter was dealt with, the governor was cancelled.
At this time, the governor was still an official sent by the central government, equivalent to an imperial minister, and the supporting facilities were not yet complete.
Zhu Pingan, nominally the highest military commander in Zhejiang, is just a bare commander and has no subordinate officials.
The imperial court did not provide the governor with supporting officials.
Although the three administrative, judicial and military chiefs of Zhejiang, Zhejiang Chief Envoy, Punishing Inspector and Capital Commander all obey Zhu Pingan, these three officials each have their own offices and are not affiliated with the government. Governor's Yamen.
Currently, the Zhejiang governor’s office only has a few clerks who handle documents.
When the predecessor Li Tianchong was the governor of Zhejiang, he recruited three masters in his own name to help him handle government affairs. When he left office, Li Tianchong took all three masters away, leaving only some local scribes. .
These scribes can only engage in low-level copywriting work. If Zhu Pingan does not want to be crushed by the mountain of copywriting, he must recruit masters.
When talking about Master, Zhu Pingan thought of Xu Wei and wanted to recruit him to help him.
Unfortunately, when I was in Yingtian, I tried to recruit Xu Wei many times, but failed to get what I wanted.
Xu Wei has his own pride. He now only wants to take the imperial examination, become an official, and become the protagonist himself. He is not willing to be a small supporting role, become someone else's staff, and fulfill other people's great achievements.
Especially, this year he successfully passed the preliminary test of the provincial examination and is eager to show off his skills in the formal examination.
He would not accept his own recruitment.
Only after Xu Wei has failed the imperial examinations again and again and gives up, can he be recruited.
Historically, Xu Wei had to take the exam for a few more years, and his pride was shattered by his failure year after year. After giving up, he accepted Hu Zongxian's three visits to the thatched cottage, came out to serve as Hu Zongxian's staff, and assisted Hu Zongxian in annihilating the Japanese pirates.
However, even though he knew that Xu Wei would not accept his recruitment, Zhu Ping'an still wrote a personal letter as soon as he arrived in Shaoxing and settled Li Shu and others, and attached fifty taels Send someone to Yingtian to deliver the silver to Xu Wei.
Xu Wei's life is still relatively tight at present. Fifty taels of silver can give him more room.
She formed a good relationship early and maintained her relationship. When Xu Wei gave up on taking the imperial examination, she naturally became his first choice.
Xu Wei cannot be recruited for the time being, and ordinary masters cannot bear the heavy responsibility. There is no rush, so we can only try slowly.
Zhu Pingan can only work harder on his own.
On the first day, Zhu Ping'an's old boss and current subordinate, Zhejiang Sentencing Inspector Zhang Zijing, Zhejiang Chief Envoy and Zhejiang Du Commander went to the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen to pay homage to Zhu Ping'an .
"Sir Zhang, Zhu Butang has been promoted from your yamen. We are old friends, so you have to put in a good word for us."
The chief envoy of Zhejiang and the commander of the capital of Zhejiang said to the envoy of Zhejiang as they walked.
The two of them thought that Zhu Ping'an came from the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Punishment and Investigation, and those who were closer to the water were first to get the moon. As Zhu Pingan's old boss, Mr. Zhang, the Zhejiang Procurator-General, must have an extraordinary relationship.
“Ahem.” Zhang Zijing, the Zhejiang Prosecution Inspector, couldn’t help coughing after hearing this.
"I said, Lao Zhang, why are you coughing? When Zhu Butang was an official under you, you didn't show Zhu Butang's face, right? Then you're done, just wish yourself well, we I have to stay away from you to avoid being implicated."
The Zhejiang Commander joked half-jokingly.
"Nonsense, Zhu Butang is young and promising, and his teacher is Mr. Xu Ge. Mr. Xu Ge sent me a letter to take care of Zhu Butang. How dare I show Zhu Butang's face? When Zhu Butang was in the Yamen, I But full support I strongly supported the creation of Zhu Butang’s work and the Zhejiang Army under Zhu Butang. When the Zhejiang Army’s food and salary were not approved for a long time, I went to apply for it many times,” Zhang Zijing, the Zhejiang Prosecution Inspector, immediately denied it. .
"Then why are you coughing?" the Zhejiang Commander continued to ask.
“I’m so sorry.” Zhang Zijing, the Zhejiang Prosecution Inspector, sighed, his eyes recalling the memory.
Recalling the scene when Zhu Ping'an first came to Zhejiang Province to pay homage to him, it seems like yesterday.
"What are you lamenting about?" Zhejiang Capital Commander and Zhejiang Chief Envoy couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It only took half a year for Zhu Butang to arrive at the Yamen, where I was appointed to serve as the envoy for punishment and inspection. At that time, I was just serving as the envoy for prosecution and inspection in Zhejiang Province. Within half a year, I went from being the envoy to the acting deputy envoy, and then to the deputy envoy. Now it is a leap. He has become the right minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Zhejiang." Zhang Zijing, the inspector of the Zhejiang Province, said with a sigh on his face.
"Haha, half a year ago Zhu Butang wanted to go to your official office to pay homage to you. Now things have changed and it's you who have gone to pay homage to Zhu Butang. No wonder you are sighing." The Zhejiang Commander-in-Chief chuckled. quipped.
"As the saying goes, 'Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi', now it doesn't even take thirty years, half a year is enough. Half a year ago, I was your subordinate, and half a year later, I became yours. I’ve been promoted to official position, hahaha”
The Chief Envoy of Zhejiang also joked.
"Zhu Butang is definitely not the best at first glance. Needless to say, he is talented in literature. The best proof is that he is the number one scholar. He is also good at military affairs. He defended Jingnan, the Battle of Jihai, and the brilliant defense of Suzhou. war, all proved Zhu Butang’s military ability. Now the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang are so Seriously, this is the time for Zhu Butang to display his military talents. In another half year, I don’t know what achievements Zhu Butang will make and how high he will be promoted. Mr. Zhang, you can be considered to be in love. When Zhu Butang is promoted To the center, you also have someone in the court.”
The two of them continued talking.
"Yeah, that's right. If I had known what Zhu Butang would be like today, I should have taken care of Zhu Butang ten times, a hundred times."
Zhejiang Sentencing Inspector Zhang Zijing thought of the past. , said with some emotion.
"Just be lucky. Zhu Butang was offended at the beginning. If you didn't add insult to injury, but took care of it a little bit, you can have fun secretly." Zhejiang Chief Envoy and Zhejiang Du Commander The man said.
"Yes." Zhang Zijing, the Zhejiang Prosecution Inspector, nodded. (End of chapter)
