After writing a letter, Shen Yi couldn't bear it anymore. After asking Jiang Sheng to send it out, he went back to the bedroom to rest.
In the next few days, Shen Yi has been recuperating at his residence. Fortunately, the medicine prescribed by the doctor is still effective. After taking the medicine for three days, Mr. Shen's appetite has basically recovered and his energy has also recovered a lot.
At this time, Xue Wei also sent a message back, telling Shen Yi that they had found a suitable place to camp in Xin'an County under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture.
Xin'an County, also known as Bao'an County, is a county under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture and is geographically close to the sea.
The two super cities in the other world are both located in Xin'an County.
Of course, Xin'an County is still an ordinary small county. Apart from a few docks and ports, the rest are fishermen who make a living by fishing.
After receiving Xue Wei's message, Shen Yi, whose health had improved greatly, remembered his old friend who was the magistrate of Xin'an County, so he became very interested and asked Jiang Sheng to drive a carriage to leave Guangzhou Prefecture and rush to Xin'an County.
Xin'an County is more than 200 miles away from Guangzhou City. It takes almost two or three days to reach Xin'an by carriage. Fortunately, Shen Yi has plenty of time now, and he just needs to avoid Zhu Gui, so he uses After three days, we slowly arrived at Xin'an.
Xue Wei and others were already waiting for Shen Yi in Xin'an County. After seeing Shen Yi's carriage, Xue Wei immediately rushed up to welcome Shen Yi out of the carriage. Xue Wei followed Shen Yi, bowed his head slightly and said: "Mr. Shen, this Xin'an County is where our anti-Japanese army is stationed in Guangzhou Prefecture to suppress Japanese pirates. In the past, many Japanese pirates were entrenched in many islands off the coast of Xin'an County. It took my subordinates several months to clear them out one by one."
Mr. Shen nodded slightly, said "Hmm", and then said: "This is not suitable for the Guangzhou Guards station."
Xue Wei was stunned and asked: "Mr. Shen, why is this?"
"This place is more suitable for hiding bandits, but it is not suitable for the location of Guangzhou Wei's camp."
The islands Xue Wei mentioned are actually the Hong Kong Islands in another world. If it were Xiangjiang in another world, it would naturally be suitable for garrisoning troops. However, the current county seat of Xin'an County is actually in Pengcheng in another world, and Most of the islands in the outer reaches are desert islands where no one lives permanently.
The fundamental purpose of the existence of Guangzhou Guard is to protect the Guangzhou Ship Division.
The Guangzhou Shipping Department needs to control the Pearl River estuary, so it is absolutely impossible to build it here.
Mr. Shen followed Xue Wei and walked along the seaside for half an hour. He turned back to look at Xue Wei and said: "Guangzhou Wei Camp is not suitable for Xin'an. It needs to be near the mouth of the Pearl River, but it is too suitable for hiding bandits." When the time comes, you can send one or two Thousand House Battalions to station in Xin'an to prevent changes here."
Xue Wei nodded first, then looked at Shen Yi, lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, since this is not suitable for the Guangzhou Guard's garrison, you still came all the way here..."
"I didn't come to Xin'an just to be stationed at Guangzhou Guard."
Mr. Shen smiled and said: "Firstly, I came here to hide away for a few days to be clean, and secondly, I came here to visit old friends."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and said: "After coming out of Guangzhou City, I looked along the Pearl River estuary. There is a seagull island at the Pearl River estuary. It should be more suitable for building a Guangzhou shipping company. You If you have some free time these days, you can go and have a look on horseback."
The location of Seagull Island is similar to that of Langqi Island in Fuzhou Prefecture. One can control the estuary of the Min River, and the other can control the estuary of the Pearl River.
Xue Wei nodded, lowered his head and said, "My subordinate will rush over to take a look tomorrow."
Having said this, he looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Mr. Shen, are you going to Xin'an County today?"
"yes."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Go and see my old friend from the same family."
The so-called "Three Tong" means that they were born in the same year, were awarded Jinshi in the same year, and held the same official position.
Although Shen Yi and Sun Li, the magistrate of Xin'an County, were not born in the same year and did not study in the Hanlin Academy together, in addition to being awarded Jinshi in the same year, they were also from the same hometown and classmates, which could be regarded as another kind of three similarities.
Shen Yi and others were not far from Xin'an County and entered the city before evening. After entering the city, Shen Yi, accompanied by Xue Wei and others, went straight to the Xin'an County Government Office. When they arrived at the gate of the County Government Office, Xue Wei opened his mouth to sing to Shen Yi Mr. Shen waved his hand to stop him, shook his head slightly and said, "I'm going to report that Shen Yi from Jiangdu is here to visit an old friend."
When Xue Wei heard this, he immediately lowered his head and went to the county government office to report the matter.
Not long after the announcement, Sun Li, the magistrate of Xin'an County, wearing a seventh-grade green official uniform, hurried out. After seeing Shen Yi, he first wiped his eyes, then hurriedly ran over and grabbed Shen Yi's sleeve. , a mixture of surprises.
"I just heard the report from the people below. I almost thought I heard it wrong. I never thought it was really Zi Heng!"
He spoke Jiangdu dialect.
Shen Yi also answered him in Jiangdu dialect and said with a smile: "It has been several days since I arrived in Guangzhou. I should have come to visit Brother Jisheng long ago. However, I was a little unaccustomed to the climate after arriving in Guangdong and was ill for several days, so I was delayed. ."
Sun Li, courtesy name Jisheng.
This character does not seem to match his name, but he has the same name as Kong Li, the son of Saint Kong, so the word "Ji Sheng" is reasonable.
Hearing the long-lost Jiangdu accent, Sun Zhixian felt his nose sore. He pulled Shen Yi's sleeves and his eyes almost turned red.
"Since Ziheng is here, I must stay in Xin'an for a few more days. Brother Yu will treat you well."
Sun Zhixian sighed with emotion: "You don't know how long it has been since I heard Jiangdu dialect."
"When people from Guangzhou speak, Brother Yu basically relies on guessing..."
Sun Zhixian shook his head, as if he had endless things to say to Shen Yi.
Mr. Shen smiled and nodded: "I want to spend more time in Xin'an to bother senior brother."
He was in Xin'an, and he wanted to hide from the governor of Guangzhou City.
Secondly, I want to wait for someone from Jiankang to reply to him.
…………
While Mr. Shen was eating seafood in Xin'an County, the letter he wrote seven days ago was finally sent to Jiankang by the inner guard six hundred miles away.
This letter did not go through the imperial court, but was sent directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs through the secret letter channel, and was delivered to His Majesty the Emperor.
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was talking to Concubine Hui in Zhaode Palace. Eunuch Gao came to His Majesty the Emperor holding Shen Yi's letter.
After the emperor saw Gao Ming, he put the eldest son in his arms into the hands of Concubine Hui. Then he stood up and came to Gao Ming. He frowned slightly and said, "It's rare for me to come to Zhaode Palace. I can't wait for anything." Let’s talk about it after I return to Ganlu Palace?”
Gao Ming lowered his head again and said: "A secret letter from Master Shen from Guangzhou Mansion."
The emperor relaxed his brows and took the letter from Gao Ming. After opening it, there were three pieces of letter paper in the envelope.
After just glancing at the first piece of paper, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but frown: "What's going on with Shen Qi? His handwriting is crooked, but he's still one of the top two Jinshis appointed by me!"
Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said, "According to the internal guard's report, when I wrote this letter, Academician Shen seemed to be ill, and he was seriously ill."
The emperor did not pursue the matter, but silently read the three pieces of paper carefully. Especially after reading the second piece of paper, he couldn't help but read it again and asked: "Gao Ming, I remember this Governor Zhu of Guangdong Gui seems to be Zhang Jing’s…”
Gao Ming lowered his head and said, "He is Prime Minister Zhang's disciple."
The emperor touched his chin, thoughtfully.
"That would be interesting."
After saying this, the emperor continued to read. After reading all the letters, His Majesty the Emperor murmured: "The Municipal Shipping Bureau is required to announce the tax amount, the local yamen are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Municipal Shipping Bureau, and the five subordinates of the Coastal Capital Division are required to Wei, has the power to arrest smugglers..."
The emperor said to himself: "I really want a lot of things. I wonder what happened to Shen Qi in Guangdong."
Having said this, the emperor looked at Eunuch Gao and said slowly: "Gao Ming, go and sort out Zhu Gui's information and put it in the Manlu Palace later. I will take a look at it tonight."
Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said, "My slave, I obey."
His Majesty the Emperor stretched himself and said: "This afternoon, I will accompany my eldest son at Zhaode Palace. If you have nothing to do, please don't bother me again."
Eunuch Gao bowed his head again, and then retreated respectfully.
His Majesty the Emperor returned to the Manna Palace and took over his eldest son from the hands of the Imperial Concubine. He stretched out his hand and pinched the child's nose, and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine, I have thought about this child's name. It’s been several months, and I just came up with some ideas today.”
Concubine Hui's eyes changed and she said softly: "I thought your Majesty had forgotten..."
"How can I forget this?"
The emperor smiled and said: "It's just that I have been hesitant."
"How about we call him Li Wang?"
Concubine Hui blinked her eyes and asked, "Which one is there?"
"Looking north."
Hearing this answer, Concubine Hui laughed softly and said, "I thought Your Majesty wanted to name this child with a compound character."
"The word "Fu" is too big and too heavy. I'm afraid it won't grow up because of the weight on it."
The emperor's tone was gentle and he said softly: "Just call me Li Wang."
Concubine Hui nodded lightly, and then asked: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao came to you just now. Is there any political matter to deal with? If there is urgent government affairs, Your Majesty should hurry up and deal with it, lest people say that I am delaying state affairs."
"It's nothing particularly important."
While teasing his son, the emperor said casually: "It's Shen Qi who wrote me a letter from the south."
"Shen Qi...Master Shen..."
Concubine Hui's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked softly: "Your Majesty, Master Shen should be able to return to Jiankang this year?"
"It's time to come back."
The emperor pinched the eldest son's nose and smiled.
"If he doesn't come back, I'll be really worried..."
