Chapter 1983: Half a year has passed between Hedong and Hexi
Chapter 1987 Half a year has passed between Hedong and Hexi
After Zhu Pingan arrived in Shaoxing, the handover with Li Tianchong went smoothly. Li Tianchong cooperated very well and handed over all the official seals, yamen, and documents to Zhu Pingan. He also accompanied Zhu Pingan to count the warehouse and banknotes. After confirming that they were correct, Li Tianchong immediately set off for the trip.
Ying Tian, served under Zhang Jing, the governor of Jiangnan, and obeyed orders.
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 governor was a new matter at this time. Only provinces with certain troubles (such as rebellions, uprisings, Japanese pirates, etc.) had governors to take charge of the administration of the province.
Judiciary and military powers, once the matter is dealt with, the governor is cancelled.
At this time, the governor was still an official dispatched 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 mere commander and has no subordinate officials.
The imperial court did not provide the governor with supporting officials.
Although the three administrative, judicial and military officials of Zhejiang Province, including the Zhejiang Chief Envoy, the Punishing Inspector and the Du Commander, all obeyed Zhu Ping'an, these three officials each had their own offices and did not belong to the governor's office.
Currently, the Zhejiang governor's office only has a few clerks who handle documents.
When his 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 overwhelmed by the mountain of copywriting, he must recruit senior clerks.
When he mentioned Master, Zhu Ping'an 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.
In particular, he successfully passed the preliminary test of the provincial examination this year and is eager to show off his skills in the formal examination.
He will not accept his own recruitment.
Only after Xu Wei experienced repeated failures in the imperial examinations and gave up, could 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, went 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 immediately after arriving in Shaoxing, settling in Li Shu and others, and attached fifty taels of silver, and sent people to respond.
Heaven leaves it to Xu Wei.
Xu Wei's life is still relatively tight at present, and fifty taels of silver can give him some 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 to do it slowly.
Zhu Pingan can only work harder on his own.
It was also the first day that Zhu Pingan's old boss and current subordinate, Zhejiang Sentencing Envoy Zhang Zijing, Zhejiang Chief Envoy, and Zhejiang Capital Commander went to the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen to pay homage to Zhu Pingan.
"Master 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 Zhejiang's Tixing and Procuratorate Department, and those who were closer to the water would get the better. As Zhu Ping'an's old boss, Mr. Zhang, the Zhejiang Procuratorate's Procuratorate, must have an extraordinary relationship.
"Cough cough!" Zhejiang Sentencing Inspector Zhang Zijing couldn't help coughing after hearing this.
"I said, Lao Zhang, why are you coughing? When Zhu Butang was an official under Qi, you never showed Zhu Butang's face, right? Then you're done, wish yourself well, we have to stay away from you
, so as not to be implicated."
The Zhejiang capital 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
However, I fully supported Zhu Butang’s work. I fully supported the establishment of the Zhejiang Army under Zhu Butang. At the beginning, the food and salary for the Zhejiang Army could not be approved for a long time, and I had to apply for it many times." Zhang Zijing, the Zhejiang Prosecution Inspector
He immediately denied it.
"Then why are you coughing?" the commander of the Zhejiang capital continued to ask.
"I'm so sorry." Zhang Zijing, the Zhejiang Prosecution Inspector, said sadly, his eyes recalling the memory.
It seems like yesterday when I recall the scene when Zhu Pingan first came to Zhejiang Province to pay homage to him.
"What are you lamenting about?" The Zhejiang Metropolitan Commander and the Zhejiang Chief Envoy couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It only took half a year for Zhu Butang to arrive at the Yamen office where I was appointed to serve as the envoy for punishment and inspection. At that time, I was just serving as the envoy to the Zhejiang Procuratorate and Chief Qianshi. In half a year, he went from being the chief minister to acting deputy envoy, and then to 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 prosecutor of 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." Zhejiang Commander in Chief joked with a smile.
"As the saying goes, 'Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river.' 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 your superior, hahaha."
The chief envoy of Zhejiang also joked.
"Zhu Butang is a natural 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. The defense of Jingnan, the battle of Jihai, and the glorious defense of Suzhou all proved that Zhu
Butang’s military talent. Now that the Japanese invasion is so serious in Zhejiang, it’s time for Zhu Butang to display his military talent. In half a year, I don’t know what achievements Zhu Butang will make and how high he will rise to. Mr. Zhang, you can also be considered.
Now that you are in love, when Zhu Butang is promoted to the center, you will 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 or a hundred times."
Zhang Zijing, the prosecutor of Zhejiang Province, thought of the past and said with some emotion.
"Just be lucky. When Zhu Butang offended you, you didn't add insult to injury, but took care of him a little bit. You can just have fun secretly." said the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang and the Commander-in-Chief of Zhejiang.
"Yes." Zhang Zijing, the Zhejiang Prosecution Inspector, nodded.
