Chapter 144 Various treatises

Seeing that Lin Jinshu drank the rough tea in front of him, Chu Nanzhi was surprised but also a little ashamed and said, "The village is not comparable to the imperial palace, and there is no good tea to entertain your highness. Your Highness Haihan."

"Junior Sister's words are too outlandish. I have fought in the South and the North for many years. I have never experienced any kind of suffering. This tea is sweet and delicious, but it has a special taste."

Lin Jinshu put down his tea bowl carelessly, showing an easy-going attitude in his speech and demeanor.

Then, she looked at Lin Jinxiao again, and continued: "It's been many years since I left, and the imperial sister has been thinking about the imperial brother. A few days ago, I came to the county and was entangled in official work. I heard that the imperial brother was injured. Yesterday, I took out the I wanted to visit at home when I came here, but I didn't expect that there would be a funeral at my junior sister's house, what a coincidence."

Hearing this, Chang Yanjue also explained in a deep voice: "Today is the day to welcome the Emperor Daxing back to court. Thinking of this, I don't know when we will meet again, so Her Highness the Princess deliberately took off her military uniform and came with the old man. , not only to pay tribute to Uncle Ling, but also to discuss some matters with you Dalang."

Hearing that there was something to discuss, Chu Nanzhi looked around at the few people in the hall, suddenly felt out of place, got up quickly, and said with a natural expression: "Those two teachers and the imperial sister have a good talk, and the servants are going to prepare some breakfast for everyone. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jinshu was stunned: "Sister Huang?"

Shouldn't I call Ben Gong a senior sister?

Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinshu with a serious face: "Your Highness, my family is Lin Dalang's concubine, since you call him Royal Brother, royal etiquette matters, so this servant can only lick your face and call you Royal Sister .”

Looking at the surprised faces of several people, she said seriously again: "If Your Highness feels wronged, then we will discuss things separately in the future. The slave family calls you the emperor's sister, and your highness can call the slave family a junior sister."

Several people felt weird when they heard this, but after careful reading, it seemed to make sense.

"Sister Huang, you came here early in the morning with your two benefactors. You must be hungry. On the way back to Beijing, the mountains are high and the road is far away. Junior sister will go and prepare some meals for you."

Lin Jinshu was still a little depressed, Chu Nanzhi was about to go out calmly, but was dragged back by Lin Jinxiao: "Since you know that you are my wife, and you are the same old disciple as Princess Shu, it's okay It cannot be heard."

Chang Yanjue didn't expect that his protégé would be so eloquent. In order not to let Princess Jinshu take advantage of him, he even moved out the royal etiquette. He said helplessly, "Sit down, the old man and Princess Shu are here. The family has already eaten breakfast, so there is no need to bother."

Nie Huai'an was overwhelmed with admiration for her cleverness, and with a smug look in his eyes, he said with a smile: "It's not something to be shameful, Nan Zhi, you don't have to deliberately avoid it."

"Indeed, junior sister, please sit down."

Lin Jinshu gestured, and after she sat back in her seat, she began to speak bluntly and in detail:

"Now that the sea trade routes have been re-opened, Luyan Port will become an important coastal defense town in the east independent of the county. Although the chief of the town is still headed by the county magistrate, it is different from the past. Fifth-rank Beijing officials need to control the forces of all parties in the six counties in the east, and increase the number of Haiphong government soldiers, but Hu Maoxi has some official voice, and he lacks the ability to make decisions when he is feasible, and I am afraid it will be difficult to shoulder this important task.”

Saying this, she looked around at the crowd again, and continued solemnly: "What's more, his term of office is about to expire, and His Majesty intends to transfer him to Beijing to deal with various forces in Beijing. , went to Luyan Port to unannounced visits to capable people to take up new positions."

After Lin Jinshu finished speaking, Chang Yanjue immediately added: "When the sea route is reopened, the Dongsang people are bound to make a comeback. We have to guard against it. If one trick accidentally provokes the Dongsang bandits to invade the country again, it will benefit the country and the people's business. The policy will actually affect innocent people, so last night the princess, the old man and old Nie mentioned this matter in the mansion, after discussion, everyone unanimously recommended you, Da Lang, to take over the post."

Nie Huai'an also took advantage of the situation and said: "Instead of recruiting officials from Beijing or other places to take up the post, it's better to promote competent people from the local area. This way, they are familiar with the county's affairs and understand the local human geography. It can be said that it is handy to govern the county. Dalang, you are fifteen You were promoted as Xiaolian at the age of nineteen, and you were promoted as a scholar at the age of nineteen, and you have done three years of meritorious service in the county, your resume could not be more suitable."

Although Lin Jinxiao had already decided to wait for his injury to recover and prepare to embark on an official career, this was far from what he had expected. It was indeed a very heavy burden for a county magistrate to go straight up two ranks.

It is said that he is a Beijing official of the same fifth rank, but the responsibilities and risks he bears are far heavier than those of the county magistrate of Gyeonggi.

The purpose of the magistrate of Gyeonggi County is to protect the imperial power and curb bad forces, but there are countless imperial guards at the Nine Gates of Gyeonggi, and what they restrain are nothing more than troublemakers and villains, but what he will face in the future is the difficult Dongsang thief.

Those are vicious, stubborn and extremely difficult to deal with, and if you are not careful, you will lose your head.

Quietly staring at Chu Nanzhi, who was carefree and as if nothing had happened, he gritted his teeth secretly, and replied with firm eyes: "Since it is the intention of the two teachers, the students will follow the orders."

Now this family has offended the Qi family, if I can't become their strong support, then this family may really be slaughtered by the Qi family in the future.

Nie Laochang was very pleased when he heard it, but Lin Jinshu sensed that he was a little worried. Speaking of it, it was indeed a hard job, so he said happily: "Brother Huang can stand up to uphold justice for the whole county and share your majesty's worries. The imperial sister is deeply grateful, and hereby I would also like to ask for the grace of the imperial brother in front of His Majesty."

After a slight pause, she said with a slow smile: "Nowadays, the county magistrates and Dian Shi are all in fear of their crimes. After inspecting various places in the county these days, I have drawn up a strategy. If we want to consolidate the coastal defense, we must have sufficient military resources. After the imperial sister returns to Beijing, I will ask His Majesty to dispatch two thousand troops, and after the imperial brother takes office, he can recruit another thousand recruits, all of which will be under the control of the county lieutenant's mansion, and the county lieutenants and Dianshi candidates can all be recommended by the imperial brother."

"Since the imperial court soldiers and horses should be controlled by the imperial court."

Lin Jinxiao thought for a while, and then said: "However, when His Highness mentioned this matter, I would like to recommend a competent person to be elected as the post of Dian Shi."

"who?"

"Downstream of the county government office, Li Ce."

Lin Jinxiao replied seriously.

Out of selfishness, Li Ce treats himself loyally, and he really intends to promote him; as a public, Li Ce comes from a humble background, and his ability is not enough to command an army for the time being, but in order to better control the army of the county captain's mansion in the future, he must Put your own people in the army.

Making him a deputy in the county captain's mansion is like putting his own eyes in the county captain's mansion.

Luyan Port is a piece of fat, and countless people are staring at it. It will attract more people's attention after it becomes an important coastal defense city. The tax and bank case has given him a deep warning. He can't be like Hu Maoxi. If he was confused, he almost lost his black hat.

Lin Jinshu was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he had given him enough power to install his own people, but he actually promoted only one deputy. It really wasn't the way of ordinary people, and he immediately expressed his relief.

"That's all according to what the emperor said."

Lin Jinshu stood up as he spoke, and looked at the couple: "The imperial sister still has official business, so I can't stay here for a long time, so I'm leaving."

But when her eyes turned and fell on Chu Nanzhi, she suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.

In Beijing, she was used to seeing pretentious rich girls. This was the first time she met such an interesting soul. Before she had a long talk with her, she was about to say goodbye. She felt a little lonely and sentimental.

Her eyes softened, she held Chu Nanzhi's hand tightly, and said regretfully: "Junior Sister, I don't know when we will see each other again, and you must remember to visit me in Jingling City when you have a chance. Please drink the best wine in Jingling City, see."

Inadvertently glanced at Lin Jinxiao who was at the side, Lin Jinshu suddenly stopped: This seems inappropriate for her.
