From now on, Gu Yan will have full authority to handle the affairs of the Jiangnan Sea and Taxation Department. He must clear up the accumulated abuses and revitalize the Sea and Taxation Department.
Watching Gu Yan finish reading the secret decree, the old chamberlain leaned forward and said: "The prince has been appointed to act as the Customs and Excise Department, and the prince will be the co-manager. The decree should be delivered in two days."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Gu Yan carefully collected the secret order and stood up.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I'm old after all. I'm really exhausted from all the rush here. I'm going to take a nap. I'll start back before dark." The old chamberlain bowed and was very respectful. "Stone rolling!" Gu Yan shouted quickly.
Shi Gun came in in response and helped the old eunuch out of the Qingshen Hall.
"This is a letter written by the Crown Prince." Ming Jing presented the letter to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan took the letter and gestured to Ming Jing, "Sit down and have a rest, drink a cup of tea and eat some snacks."
"Yes, Sir Xie." Ming Jing sat half-assed on a chair, quietly drinking tea and eating snacks.
He is also exhausted.
The letter was very thick. Gu Yan opened the envelope and read the letter carefully.
Ming Jing was eating snacks and occasionally glanced at Gu Yan, who was intently reading the letter with an expressionless face.
The prince has indeed changed a lot over the past year.
In the past, no matter how the prince remained silent and expressionless, he could still tell some clues, but since the Spring Festival last year, he couldn't tell. Now, the prince's expressionless face at the moment is really completely expressionless.
Emotion.
The emperor said that the prince has made great progress, at least this quiet person has indeed made great progress.
On the way here, he heard the legend that the land in the south of the Yangtze River was good for Prince Rui's family. Well, this villa is indeed extraordinary.
Ming Jing glanced out the lush window.
"You should go take a nap too." Gu Yan read the letter, folded it, looked at Ming Jing and smiled.
"Yes." Ming Jing stood up and bowed his hands to exit.
Gu Yan got up, entered the study, sat down at the table, rubbed ink, spread paper, and wrote a reply to the prince.
After sharpening the inkstone, he picked up the pen, but Gu Yan did not write for a long time. Putting down the pen, Gu Yan stood up, walked back and forth in the room twice, stood in front of the window, and looked at the rich green and yellow outside the window with his hands behind his back. He was extremely surprised by the emperor's decree, and the prince's letter was even more unexpected.
In the past, before the emperor left for his big trip, he still told him and the prince: Don't act rashly, don't act rashly.
He always thought that the emperor was too conservative, lazy and cowardly.
Gu Yan lowered his head, raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously.
The emperor is not lazy in politics, nor is he cowardly, but he doesn't like the people he wants, and he doesn't dare to act rashly.
Last time, before the departure, he gave such uneasy instructions because he saw that both he and the prince were too ambitious and short-handed, and the funeral was indeed as the emperor had foreseen...
Gu Yan took a deep breath and spit it out slowly.
This time, the prince said that the emperor felt that he could have a small trial.
Gu Yan's heart surged with incomprehensible hot emotions, which made his eyes wet and hot.
This time, he will definitely be able to become a real sledgehammer, clearing away the rot in the empire, making the government more transparent, and making the world richer!
Gu Yan paced back and forth a few times, calmed down, sat down again, and started writing a letter.
Gu Yan wrote a thick letter, folded it and sealed it, took out a few more pieces of paper, sorted out his thoughts, and wrote down in detail his understanding of the Jiangnan Sea Taxation Department and his future plans up to today.
, rolled up the paper, picked up a brass tube, put the letter in, and covered the brass tube with sealing paint.
After writing a letter and a brochure, Gu Yan ordered a bottle of wine to be brought in, poured a glass, and stood in front of the window, sipping slowly and sorting out his thoughts.
Now that there is a decree, and since the emperor also thinks that he has a small test, then he can take action.
However, there is still no rush, haste makes waste.
He still has to move forward steadily step by step.
Tomorrow he would go to Kunshan County again as he had planned and take a good look at Huang Xianzhou. He always felt that Huang Xianzhou was a useful person, but Huang Xianzhou always had a yin and yang look. He always felt that Huang Xianzhou was quite fond of him.
Prejudice, but what kind of prejudice is it?
Gu Yan's eyebrows suddenly raised slightly, and he would bring his little girl with him tomorrow so that she could talk to him.
Back then, Lu Xiu was very popular in Prince Rui's Mansion. He thought it was because he favored Lu Xiu. Later, she followed him north, and when they reached the most desperate situation, the little commander guarding them was obviously sick and starving.
Despite the order to kill them, Lu Xiu agreed to the exchange, took the ring finger, and gave them thirty kilograms of Chen rice, and later, twenty kilograms of rice.
Without these fifty kilograms of rice, they would not be able to survive the collapse of the earth.
This little girl seems to be more popular than Luxiu. I heard that in the paper shop next door to the tea house, the guys kept the edges and corners of the cut paper for her.
Well, take her with you and let her talk to Huang Xianzhou.
Gu Yan called out to Shi Gun and asked Wan Qing to go to Cai Lian Lane and ask Miss Li if she was free tomorrow. If she was free, he would take her to Linhai Town to learn more.
Li Xiaonan wanted to refuse, because tomorrow her third sister will go to Pingjiang City, but she won’t have time. The word rolled on the tip of her tongue several times, but she still swallowed it.
She just borrowed someone's money.
Alas, no matter how heroic you are, you can't be so heroic if you owe money.
Li Xiaonan thought about the time it would take to go to Linhai Town and back, and said with a smile: "I am free in the morning, but not in the afternoon. My third sister has to go back to her parents' home."
A morning trip to Linhai Town is definitely not enough.
"Yeah." Wan Qing nodded, "One more thing: Have you learned how to ride a horse by following Awu?
"Shi Gun didn't say whether he asked this question or whether it was our prince who asked it."
"How do you answer this sentence?" Li Xiaonan asked humbly.
"If you can sit on a horse, then you can almost ride." Wan Qing leaned her head forward and lowered her voice, "Our prince first practiced martial arts with the master when he was a child, and then read and read! If you can walk, you will be able to do so.
Horseback riding. No matter where you go, you are riding a horse. As soon as you get on the horse, you have to run. It is like running in a hurry. If you don’t know how to ride a horse, sitting in a car will make you think a lot!"
"Then if I'm riding a horse, I'm not allowed to fall off the horse?" Li Xiaonan asked.
"Didn't I tell you that you can almost ride? You're almost!" Wan Qing said almost three words, "You can also sit firmly on a horse. The horses in our house are all well-trained, so you just need to be able to sit firmly." "Our Crown Prince is taking such good care of you. Seeing as your riding skills are not good, our Crown Prince may be able to run a little slower, or perhaps our Crown Prince will run away first and leave a few people to accompany you as you race slowly.
"No matter what, it's definitely more comfortable than riding in a car!"
"Okay, let's just say I can ride a bike." Li Xiaonan repeated.
Wan Qing finished her errand smoothly and was in a happy mood, waving goodbye to Li Xiaonan.
