my grandmother

Chapter 118

The purpose is short and concise:

From now on, Gu Yan will take full power to handle the affairs of the Jiangnan Sea Taxation Department. It is necessary to clean up the accumulated malpractices and revive the Sea Taxation Department.

Seeing that Gu Yan had read the secret decree, the old servant bowed and said: "The prince is appointed to act as the sea tax department, and the son is to assist. The decree should be delivered in two days."

"Well, you've worked hard." Gu Yan carefully put away the secret order and stood up.

"Master, you are welcome. The younger one is getting old. He rushed all the way here. He is really exhausted. The younger one is going to sleep. He has to go back before dark." The old maid bowed her body very respectfully.

"Stone roll!" Gu Yan shouted hastily.

Shi Gun entered in response to the sound, and Xu helped the old waiter out of the Qingshen hall.

"This is a letter from the crown prince." Ming Jing handed the letter to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan took the letter and signaled Mingjing, "Sit down and rest, drink a cup of tea, and eat some snacks."

"Yes, Xie Shizi." Ming Jing sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, quietly drinking tea and eating snacks.

He was also exhausted.

The letter is very thick, Gu Yan opened the envelope and read the letter carefully.

Ming Jing was eating snacks, and from time to time glanced at Gu Yan, who was concentrating on reading the letter with an expressionless face.

The son of the world has indeed changed a lot in the past year.

In the past, he could see some clues no matter how silent and expressionless the son was, but since the Spring Festival last year, he couldn't see it clearly. Now, the expressionless face of the son is really expressionless mood.

The emperor said that the son has made great progress, at least this calmness has indeed made great progress.

On the way here, he just heard the legend that the air in the south of the Yangtze River is beneficial to Prince Rui's branch, well, this villa is indeed extraordinary.

Ming Jing glanced out of the lush green window.

"Go to sleep for a while too." Gu Yan read the letter, folded it, looked at Ming Jing and said with a smile.

"Yes." Ming Jing stood up and withdrew his hands.

Gu Yan got up, went into the study, sat down at the table, rubbed ink and laid paper, and wrote back to the prince.

After sharpening the inkstone, he picked up the pen, but Gu Yan didn't 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 bright green and yellow outside the window with his hands behind his back.

He was extremely surprised by the emperor's decree, and the letter from the crown prince was even more unexpected.

In the past, before the emperor's grand 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, not cowardly, he is out of character, and dare not act recklessly.

The last time, before the grand trip, he was still so uneasy about asking, because he saw that both he and the prince were too high-minded, and the funeral was indeed as the emperor had foreseen...

Gu Yan took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

This time, the prince said that the emperor thought he could give it a try.

Unclear hot emotions surged up in Gu Yan's heart, making his eyes moist and hot.

This time, he will definitely become a real sledgehammer, gouging out the rot and clearing the sores for the empire, making the government clearer, and making the world richer!
Gu Yan paced back and forth a few times, calmed down, sat down again, and wrote a letter.

Gu Yan wrote a thick letter, folded it and sealed it, took out a few more sheets of paper, and rationalized his thoughts. He wrote down his understanding of the Jiangnan Customs Department up to today, and his plans for the future. , Roll up the paper, pick up a brass tube, put the letter in, and pour the sealing paint all over the brass tube.

After writing a letter and a brochure, Gu Yan ordered a bottle of wine to come in, poured a glass, stood in front of the window, sipped slowly, and organized his thoughts.

Now that there is a decree, since the emperor also thinks that he can make a fool of himself, then he can do it.

But, still don't rush, haste makes waste.

He still has to move forward step by step.

Tomorrow, according to his original plan, he will go to Kunshan County again and take a good look at Huang Xianzhou. He always feels that Huang Xianzhou is a usable person, but Huang Xianzhou always looks yin and yang. He always feels that Huang Xianzhou treats him quite well. Prejudice, but what kind of prejudice is it?

Gu Yan raised his brows suddenly, and brought Xiaonan with him tomorrow, so that Xiaonan could talk to him.

At that time, in Prince Rui's mansion, Lu Xiu was very popular. At that time, he thought it was because he favored Lu Xiu. Later, she followed him to the north. Despite their orders, he still agreed to the exchange of the green sleeves, took the finger puller, and gave them thirty catties of old rice, and later sent another twenty catties of rice.

Without the fifty catties of rice, they wouldn't be able to survive the catastrophe.

This little girl seems to be more popular than the green sleeves. I heard that in the paper shop next door to the tea house, those guys save the edges and corners of the cut paper for her.

Well, take her and let her talk to Huang Xianzhou.

Gu Yan raised his voice to call Jin Shigun, and ordered Wan Qing to go to Cailian Lane, and ask Miss Li if she was free tomorrow, and if she was free, he would take her to Linhai Town to see her.

Li Xiaonan wanted to refuse straight away, because her third elder sister went to Pingjiang City tomorrow, and she had no time to roll the word on the tip of her tongue several times, but she still swallowed it.

She just borrowed money from someone else.

Alas, no matter how heroic and heroic he is, he can't be proud if he owes money.

Li Xiaonan thought about the time to go back and forth to Linhai Town, and said with a smile, "I'm free in the morning, but not in the afternoon. My third elder sister is going back to her mother's house."

One morning is definitely not enough to go back and forth to Linhai Town.

"Yeah." Wan Qing nodded, "One more question: Have you learned how to ride a horse after following Ah Wu?
"This sentence, Shi Gun didn't say that he asked it, but our son."

"Then how do you answer this sentence?" Li Xiaonan asked humbly.

"If you can sit on a horse, you can almost ride it." Wan Qing leaned her head forward and lowered her voice, "Our son first learned martial arts with his master when he was a child, and then he learned how to read and write! If he can walk, he will Riding a horse. No matter where you go, you always ride a horse. Once you get on the horse, you start to run, and you run in a hurry. If you don’t know how to ride a horse, sitting in a cart, how crazy do you think!”

"Then if I'm riding a horse, I can't fall off the horse?" Li Xiaonan asked.

"Didn't I tell you that you can almost ride, almost!" Wan Qing said almost three words, "You can also sit on the horse, the horses in our house are all well-trained, you just need to be able to sit on the horse.

"Our elder son took good care of you so much. Seeing that you are not good at riding, our elder son might be able to run a little slower, or our elder son ran first by himself, leaving a few people to accompany you to jog slowly.

"No matter what, it must be more comfortable than riding in a car!"

"Okay, then I can almost ride." Li Xiaonan repeated.

Wan Qing smoothly finished her errand, in a happy mood, and waved goodbye to Li Xiaonan.
