Xin Zi Scroll, Section 130: A Long Day with Ruixiang

  "Sir, Mr. Fang has arrived at the government office." Ruixiang came in to report.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Wu is still here. Let’s wait until he pays a visit to Mr. Wu.” Feng Ziying read the official document without raising her head.

"But the villain saw him coming directly to you." Ruixiang's tone was a little hasty and a little uneasy.

 From Yongping Mansion to Shuntian Mansion, the experience and growth he experienced in the past year or so was simply too important.

Yongping Fu Yamen is even better. Although things are heavy, the uncle still does more of them himself. He mostly observes and studies, observes words and emotions, and learns to understand the master's meaning as quickly as possible and keenly.

But it’s different here in Shuntian Mansion. It’s almost too busy. There are so many people coming and going, and they all need to be dealt with in an all-round way.

The uncle has no time, energy, or time. As his long-term follower, he needs someone to accompany him. The important role is Mr. Wang, but some are small people sent by big shots to explain things or seek results. Mr. Wang cannot be his companion.

, it was he who came to receive them.

This is not simple either. The uncle often said that one should live to learn. Insight into world affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human nature is one's article. Ruixiang thinks this last sentence is really good, but it seems that it was not said by the uncle, but by the ancients.

But the uncle explained this to him in detail, and Ruixiang was convinced.

Ruixiang also begged the uncle to write this calligraphy to him, but the uncle said that his handwriting was too ugly and refused to write it. However, after being pestered by him, he finally wrote it. It was indeed not as good as those other people, but it was still okay.

The key is to be neat and orderly. This is the uncle’s calligraphy treasure. Ruixiang framed it with great care and hung it in his cabin, preparing to pass it on to his descendants.

Writing this word is one thing, but the uncle reminded himself that he must fully understand the essence of this couplet. Ruixiang naturally understood the uncle's meaning and tried to figure it out carefully.

 He could feel that the uncle had different expectations for him and Baoxiang. This could be seen from the requirement that he must spend half an hour reading and literacy every day.

 At first I thought it was just for the two of us to read in our free time, but it gradually became a habit. We read before going to bed every day, even if we went out in all weathers. This is what I personally told you.

Not only himself, but also Baoxiang, who is much younger than him, must read every day, learn three new words every day, and learn to recite a sentence, whether it is a classic meaning, a poem, or a poem.

It is a proverb, but you need to be able to memorize it, understand it, and be able to use it. It says that as long as you persist for three years, you will not change even if you take the exam to become a scholar.

If you say what you say, you can died in the daemon, and he and Baoxiang are still young, and the future is still very big. Following him for a short period of time during his life journey, there are more exciting worlds waiting for them.

Although neither of them understood the words very clearly, they probably understood the meaning, that is, they cannot stay with me as a servant for the rest of their lives. Well, now he has been officially promoted to be my permanent attendant, while Baoxiang is still in the apprenticeship period.

It's probably just a preparatory period, and there's no official approval yet.

Ruixiang is not thinking about how I will arrange the two of them in the future. What he is thinking about now is how to learn more from me, learn faster, and understand deeper. Not only must he learn to do things, but also learn to be a human being. This is also what he is thinking about.

The most profound thing I have learned after being in the yamen for so long is also the most wonderful thing about the sentence "The practice of human feelings is the article".

This Lord Fang is the magistrate of Tongzhou. When he came to the government office, he came directly to the uncle instead of going to the governor. Ruixiang also knew that it was inappropriate. Even though everyone knew that Lord Wu, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, did not care much about secular affairs now, but

After all, he is the governor, the head of the government, and the rules cannot be broken. Moreover, this will push the uncle into an embarrassing situation, so he rushed to report in a hurry.

"Oh?!" Feng Ziying raised her head in surprise and raised her eyebrows. It's impossible for Fang Kezhuang to be so ignorant of the rules, right? After all, he was a Jinshi and had been in the official circles of the Zhou Dynasty for so many years. He didn't even have these few rules.

Don’t even understand? It’s impossible.

“Really, sir, Lord Fang is already here.” Ruixiang was so anxious that he was sweating.

Feng Ziying waved her hand. Fang Kezhuang's behavior was a bit like demonstrating or standing in line. He could avoid it, but everyone in the house was watching, which seemed a bit weak. But if he received it grandly, it would be a bit like joining forces.

Ke Zhuang demonstrated to Wu Daonan, but it was also undesirable.

After thinking for a while, Feng Ziying knew that he really couldn't avoid it. In addition, he also wanted to see what kind of trouble Fang Kezhuang was going to do.

Fortunately, Ruixiang came to report in advance and gave herself a little buffer. Feng Ziying quickly stood up and walked out, walking quickly. Sure enough, after taking a few steps out of the Prime Minister's house, she saw Fang Keqiang coming along the corridor in a grand manner, followed by Chang Sui.

, there were people from the yamen watching on both sides of the corridor, Feng Ziying muttered in her heart, this guy is really going to cause trouble.

Besides, Wu Daonan doesn't care about things, but his status as governor determines that he is the lord of the house, and no one can challenge him. If Fang Kezhuang really wants to visit him first, he will not only put himself in a dangerous situation, but also put himself in danger.

Pushed into an awkward position.

 “Master Fang is here?” Feng Ziying smiled and held her hands, Fang Kezhuang also bowed in return, “Master Feng is going out too?”

"No, I heard that Mr. Fang is here. I guess he is coming to the mansion to report something. It just so happens that I am also going to Mr. Fu Yin to report the matter. Isn't this just right?" Feng Ziying's thoughts suddenly changed.

Answered calmly.

Fang Kezhuang was stunned and glanced at Feng Ziying with a half-smile. He felt helpless and admired this guy's quick wit. He didn't avoid it, but he showed his attitude by going with the flow. It can be said that he can advance, attack or retreat. This guy

Are you really only twenty?

 Nodding, Fang Kezhuang stopped and said, "Okay, let's go to Mr. Fu Yin to talk about it together, or ask Mr. Fu Yin for instructions."

Tongzhou is the most important prefecture and county in Shuntian Prefecture after Wanping and Daxing counties. Not only because it guards the terminal of the Grand Canal, most of the materials from the south of the Yangtze River have to be re-exported here, or go to Jingdong, Liaodong,

Either to enter the capital city, or to store and distribute food on site, and more importantly, the warehouses that are related to the food security of more than one million soldiers and civilians in the entire capital are also built here.

This is life-saving food, and must not be lost even for a moment. Of course, this is the words of the imperial court. Water transportation has never been interrupted for so many years. Even if it is due to weather or accidents, it will be restored in a very short period of time, and more warehouses can be opened.

It still plays a protective role, and psychological protection is even more important.

Tongcang was originally composed of two parts. It was first built by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, which was funded by the imperial court. It was mainly to ensure the needs of the court officials, princes, nobles, officers and soldiers in the capital and their families in the capital city. Later, it was to cover the needs of Governor Xuanda.

The Xuanfu soldiers under his jurisdiction and the Jizhen soldiers under the jurisdiction of Governor Jiliao are needed by the two frontier armies.

Later, as the population of the capital continued to grow, more and more people served in the capital for court officials, princes and nobles, as well as officers and soldiers from all walks of life. Some of these people were businessmen, craftsmen and various service industry personnel from various places, and some were affected by floods and droughts.

The refugees from the north who came from the disaster have gradually been transformed into manpower to serve all kinds of people in the capital. These people live not only in the city, but also in the suburbs.

This group is growing larger and larger, so it is impossible for the imperial court to meet the needs of this group of people. Once water transportation encounters obstacles, the price of grain in Beijing will skyrocket. Therefore, the imperial court later instructed Shuntian Prefecture to resolve this crisis, so

Shuntianfu built the local Tongcang of Shuntianfu next to the imperial palace.

Later, in order to facilitate unified management, the imperial court merged the two into one, with the Ministry of Households in charge of accounts and property, the Ministry of Works in charge of construction and maintenance, and the Shuntian Prefecture as a supplement. However, in fact, the dominant position was

It is still in the hands of the Ministry of Finance.

Although the leading power is in the hands of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Industry and Shuntian Mansion also have management rights. This kind of inseparation of rights and responsibilities, and the confusion of rights and responsibilities often forms a model of water control in Kowloon. The result is that everyone fights for good things and blames bad things.

It was especially prominent in the Zhou Dynasty.

Tongzhou is the first inland river port of Shuntian Prefecture. More than 90% of the goods from Jiangnan, Huguang and Guangzhou enter the Gyeonggi Province through here. Therefore, there are a large number of merchants, laborers, hawkers, and dental workers who provide various services.

In addition, this is where Tongcang is located. The soldiers stationed in Tongcang and most of the people traveling to and from the canals also gather here. Therefore, in the words of the imperial court, tens of thousands of people can't wait for the idlers.

Just because the daily consumption of this group of people is not a small amount, coupled with the complicated identities of these people and their deep connections with the officials of the imperial court in Beijing, no one can tell how much fishery there is.

This was also the most troublesome thing after Fang Kezhuang took office as the prefect of Tongzhou. Previous prefects wanted to fool around for three years and then leave, but now the situation is no better than before. Both Feng Ziying and Fang Kezhuang realized that this abscess tumor was afraid of

It can't be delayed any longer.

Considering that Tongcang is important to the safety and stability of the entire Gyeonggi Province, especially when both of them learned about the problem of false reporting of deficits that Tongcang may face, Feng Ziying and Fang Kezhuang also secretly reached an agreement that this cancer must be dealt with this year.

Remove it, otherwise if something happens, it may really lead to an uncontrollable catastrophe.

It’s just that Feng Ziying didn’t expect that Fang Kezhuang’s arrival would be so sudden, and even feel like he was forced into the palace, which made him a little incomprehensible.

"Brother Yang Chu, why are you so impatient and hasty?" After walking to a quiet place, Feng Ziying couldn't help but frown and asked: "If we report to Mr. Wu, it means that we have to come up with countermeasures. You know him.

If there is no perfect countermeasure, this will not be a good thing. It will inevitably scare the snake, and the whole pot of rice will be overcooked."

Fang Kezhuang also stopped, and the two officers stood at a distance, knowingly, to avoid hearing what the two superior officers were saying.

"Ziying, do you think I am willing?" Fang Kezhuang lowered his face: "The situation forces us to do this, but our Lord Fu Yin seems to be careless about it, which makes me in a dilemma. In the end, I still feel

I can only come to you. Of course, I have no intention of avoiding Mr. Wu, so I might as well just make it clear."
