What I have to admit is that the people who come from this palace have a sweet mouth.
The saying "Who has the final say in the Southeast" deeply affected Mr. Shen's heart.
However, this kind of thing can only be accepted by hearing it, but it cannot be taken seriously.
Along the southeastern coast, there are four or five provinces along the way. Each province also has governors, envoys, and officials at all levels. There is no way that he, Shen Yi, a fifth-rank official, has the final say.
At most, in this three-thirds of an acre of land in Yueqing, Mr. Shen can more or less walk the talk.
After all, there are five thousand people stationed here, and anyone who speaks will be louder.
Shen Yi invited Eunuch Sun to his tent. After Eunuch Sun sat down, he said with a smile: "The opening of the market cannot be decided by you and me behind closed doors. Let's make a decision first." One day, I wrote a letter to the Zhejiang Governor’s Yamen, asking the Zhejiang Governor, Zhejiang Chief Envoy, Zhejiang Advocate, Lin’an Prefect, and Wenzhou Prefect to come and participate in the opening of the market.”
"It will be more lively then."
Mr. Shen had a faint smile on his face: "No one will dare to cause trouble in the future."
Sun Jin was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "Ms. Shen, are the adults from the province willing to come and participate in the opening of the market?"
“Zhou Futai is warm-hearted and willing to help others.”
Shen Yi said softly: "I think he is willing to come."
"He is the governor of Zhejiang. When he comes, the chief envoy, the inspector general and the prefect of Lin'an will give him some face."
Shen Yi chuckled softly: "So, they should all come."
Zhou Futai was caught by Shen Yi, not a big deal.
That is his son, intending to murder the imperial envoy!
This crime could be minor or serious. Once Mr. Shen reported it to the palace and the emperor investigated it, Zhou Futai's future would definitely be lost, and his son's life would definitely be lost.
No one can protect him.
Because once the trouble gets bigger, the matter will involve the strictness of the imperial authority, which is absolutely inviolable on the surface.
Not to mention whether it was for his own future or his son's life, Zhou Yishan was tightly controlled by Shen Yi, and there was basically no possibility of escaping.
Of course, it was originally difficult to get hold of such a feudal official. Even though I had some so-called evidence in my hand, it was successfully submitted to the emperor. But after all, this era is ruled by people rather than by others. Regarding the rule of law, Shen Yi was hardly more important to the emperor than a second-grade feudal official. Even if he was presented with irrefutable evidence, it would not be easy to overthrow him.
Therefore, the reason why Mr. Shen was able to control Zhou Futai this time was only because he had the leverage in his hand. The more important reason was that the emperor supported him enough.
It was also thanks to Master Zhou.
If it weren't for Mr. Zhou, the last time Shen Yi went to Lin'an Mansion, even if he wanted to see Zhou Yishan, he would have to spend some troubles. As for convincing Zhou Yishan to fully support the Shibo Company, he would have to pay some benefits as a price, and even that kind of need Report the price agreed to by the little emperor.
But now, with Zhou Futai's "willingness" to help, there is almost no resistance in Zhejiang's officialdom.
In other words, the pressure was all blocked by Zhou Futai alone.
As for whether Zhou Futai can completely withstand the pressure of Zhejiang officialdom, it is not within the scope of Mr. Shen's consideration.
After Shen Yi chatted with Sun Jin about the Shibo Company for a while, Mr. Shen looked at Sun Jin and said with a smile: "Eunuch Sun, after we discuss the matter of the Shibo Company at a rough time, you should give it to the palace. It would be better to hand over a memorial and explain it to His Majesty in detail, so as not to have any different opinions in the palace, which would make it difficult for you and me."
"After everything is confirmed, we will open the shipping office in Yueqing around October this year. In this way, our errands will be completed. We will return to Jiankang during the Chinese New Year this year, so that you and I can have a good year."
Eunuch Sun showed a respectful expression on his face, lowered his head slightly and said: "Mr. Shen, if you can help us invite all the adults from the province, our family will naturally say hello to matters in the palace, and we will not hold you back, Mr. Shen."
"That'll be easy."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Then let's each handle our own affairs. As for the opening time of the market, let's set it on October 15th. How about that?"
Eunuch Sun stood up wisely, bowed his head respectfully to Shen Yi and said, "Yes, everything will be according to Mr. Shen's wishes."
With a very respectful expression on his face: "After this errand is done, after returning to Jiankang, the slaves will always remember your kindness, Mr. Shen."
At this moment, Eunuch Sun even changed his self-identity unknowingly.
In the power arena, what is important is to support each other and give each other face.
He is an angel in the palace, and he is giving Shen Yi so much face. Mr. Shen cannot be completely indifferent.
So, Shen Yi also forced out a smile, raised his hands to Sun Jin and said: "Eunuch Sun is already a eunuch in purple. When he returns to Jiankang after completing this errand, he will probably be one of the top figures in the inner court. In the future, Maybe Shen still has many things to ask of father-in-law."
Sun Jin lowered his head in fear and said: "We all work under Eunuch Gao. Being able to run errands well and serve His Majesty is already a great blessing. I would never dare to think about anything else."
Sun Jin knew that Shen Yi and Eunuch Gao knew each other very well.
At this time, anyone with any brains would show loyalty to Eunuch Gao.
As for the ambition hidden under the smile on his face, only Eunuch Sun himself knew clearly.
After the two people chatted for a while, Shen Yi personally sent Eunuch Sun out of the anti-Japanese army camp.
As soon as Eunuch Sun was sent away, Shen Yi saw Xue Wei leading about twenty people back from outside. Everyone looked dull, as if they had lost their souls.
However, Xue Wei still saw Shen Yi at the gate of the camp. He came forward with about 20 subordinates and saluted Shen Yi with clasped fists.
"Mr. Shen!"
At this time, Shen Yi saw that the twenty or so people behind Xue Wei were all Qianhu and Baihu from the two Qianhu camps under his command. There were a total of twenty-two generals and several clerks.
Shen Yi glanced at everyone indifferently, and then asked calmly: "Are you going out to pay pensions?"
Xue Wei lowered his head and looked a little ashamed: "Yes, there are more than 20 local soldiers in Yueqing who died in battle. The subordinates, brothers and the secretary of the camp are providing pensions to each family."
Mr. Shen glanced at Xue Wei and the hundreds of households behind him and asked, "How do you feel when you see so many family members dead?"
Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.
Seeing this, Mr. Shen slightly lowered his eyebrows and said: "It's normal for people to die in war. I never said that people are not allowed to die in war. When I took you in the first half of the year, a lot of brothers died."
"But brothers in the army are all sons of father and mother. If you can bring back one more, bring back one more."
Seeing that all the twenty or so people were in a daze, Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "You have finished paying out the pension from Yueqing, and leave the other pensions to the clerks. There are many brothers who were injured or killed this time. You two Qianhu Camp must recruit new soldiers as soon as possible to replenish its manpower."
"Before Commander Ling Wei comes back, try to train the new recruits as well as possible."
More than twenty people bowed their heads and said yes to Shen Yi.
Xue Wei was the only one who said nothing. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, I would like to send the pensions for all the brothers who died in battle to their homes one by one."
Xue Wei knelt on the ground, kowtowed and gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how far away the place is, my subordinates will send it there one by one."
Shen Yi glanced at the big man silently. After a moment of silence, he asked: "What did you promise me yesterday? Do you still remember?"
Xue Wei lowered his head and said, "Remember, recognize five characters a day."
"Subordinate."
Xue Qianhu bowed his head deeply and said, "I won't delay my literacy."
"Then just go."
Mr. Shen waved his hand and frowned slightly.
"People always need to know pain and shame."
He put his hands away and turned to leave.
"Only by improving your memory can you know how to repent."
