Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 230 The Heart of Compassion
In Xu Miaojin's eyes, his brother-in-law is indeed the best man in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even in the whole world.

none of them!

It’s not that Xu Miaojin is a nymphomaniac.

Or, Xu Miaojin is black when he is close to ink.

Or, because he is Xu Miaojin's brother-in-law.

There is no doubt about Zhu Xi’s excellence.

It can even be said to be recognized!

Even the Western countries now praise the name of King Qin of Ming Dynasty everywhere.

But in Xu Miaojin's view, this brother-in-law is excellent, but he also has one biggest shortcoming...

So horny, so flirtatious!

If only he could be more focused, he would be perfect.

Look at the women around him now...

Xu Miaoyun, Wang Minmin, Luo sisters, Ai Suda, Xin Ying.

There are even two other candidates, Princess Sirin and Princess Keiko.

But now, Zhu Xi actually turned his mind on his own students again?

"Whether it looks good or not, is it up to you, the King of Qin, to control it?"

Xu Miaojin responded without hesitation.

"That's true. As long as you are a citizen of Lingnan, you will be under the control of your brother-in-law. Don't you know it already?"

Zhu Xi grinned, looked at the information sheet in his hand and observed it carefully, and then smiled and said: "Not bad, the lowest score is 98, and there are several times where the perfect score is [-]... How can a student like this be successful in Huizhou University? , what’s the ranking?”

"First!"

Xu Miaojin smiled and said: "Her experimental class is also No. 1. She can even complete some molecular recombination experiments independently. Such talents are also top students even in international universities."

"Oh...eh? Is this her home address?"

Zhu Xi read out with a smile: "Huizhou Fucheng, Tianyi Street, Honglian Villa?"

"Why do you care where other people live?"

Xu Miaojin took the information back from Zhu Ping's hand slightly unhappily, and then went to the room on the side. She shook her head and said: "Let's talk about it first. I will accompany you to the dinner later, and I will go later." I’m busy at school, so don’t bother me again then!”

"Row."

Zhu Xi smiled.

Hearing a bang, Xu Miaojin had already closed the door. Zhu Ping smiled and said, "Is this girl really so busy? Really, I took her to dinner and I didn't even have time."

"Not busy!"

Xin Ying, who hadn't paid attention to the conversation between Zhu Xi and Xu Miaojin, heard Zhu Xi's words at this time, and subconsciously replied: "When I went to find her, she was looking at something in a daze! If she is busy, how can she be free?" Are you in a daze?"

despair!
The door opened again.

Xu Miaojin stood at the door, looked at Xin Ying complainingly and said, "I was thinking about the course. What does it mean to be in a daze?"

Feeling Zhu Xi's gaze, Xu Miaojin blushed for some reason.

She quickly turned her head and said again: "Anyway, brother-in-law, just don't bother me these days!"

Ok!

Now Xu Miaojin is a female bachelor, and she has a good temper.

Zhu Xi smiled.

In the evening, the banquet begins.

Zhu Ming had changed his clothes, and Xin Ying helped him take care of them. He said to Xu Miaojin, who was wearing a plain skirt, "Just follow me for a while."

"Okay, I don't want to talk to those people anyway." Xu Miaojin agreed happily.

After a while, the time came, and Zhu Feng took Xu Miaojin, escorted by his guards, into the elevator and came to the banquet hall.

Here, many officials were already standing obediently on both sides, applauding together to welcome Zhu Ping's arrival.

In addition, there were many business people at the venue, but the guest list was strictly screened and was given to Zhu Ping for viewing. Zhu Ping also wanted to look for Jiang La's name, but couldn't find it.

This is also normal.

After all, this is a gathering of officials. I believe that it is impossible and dare not let a gang leader come to participate.

Next, Zhu Xi began to speak.

"I heard that my king arrived in Huizhou Mansion today and just rested for a day. Many people became anxious and asked about my purpose of coming to Huizhou Mansion this time... Do you have a guilty conscience? Haha, I, this king, can I didn’t think so!”

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"Huizhou Prefecture is the second state capital in the development of Lingnan."

"My lord, I'm just here to walk around and have a look...Of course, it's mainly the one next to me. She is going to Huizhou Prefecture University to complete some work. I believe everyone knows her identity, my sister-in-law!"

"Of course, she is still the most talented woman in my Ming Dynasty!"

"I have always treasured talents, and everyone knows that."

"So you said, if she comes to Huizhou Mansion alone and encounters something bad, wouldn't I go crazy?"

"I am King Qin!"

"I can't be crazy."

"If I go crazy, the whole of Huizhou, millions of people, will suffer. Even... including you!"

"So, I have no choice but to come with her personally."

Having said this, Zhu Xi grinned: "Where's the applause? There is no brother-in-law as good as me in the entire Ming Dynasty, right? Don't you think you should applaud me?"

A group of officials headed by Xiang Hai immediately burst into warm applause.

They also heard the joke in Zhu Xi's words. It seems that King Qin's coming here really has nothing to do with the task force, otherwise Zhu Xi would not be joking like this in public.

With King Qin's temper, if he really doubted the officials of Huizhou Mansion, or even his old minister Xiang Hai, he would definitely not react like this.

Therefore, Xiang Hai and others have completely let down their guard at this time.

In the crowd, some people applauded while exchanging some inner thoughts with some of their 'companion' messengers.

"Stop, stop, my king hasn't finished yet."

At this time, Zhu Xi changed the topic: "Before I came, I received a report from Prime Minister Yao, saying that Daotong led a task force to Huizhou Prefecture to investigate and deal with some gang-related incidents. Regarding this matter, I Of course I believe you, and I also believe Mr. Xiang Haixiang... At the beginning of last year, I worked with Xiang Hai when he arrived at Panyu Mansion. At that time, he was wearing tattered clothes, but he kept his integrity. Such a person, How could they collude with criminals? So don’t panic. In fact, Daotong and his task force came here just to find the source of those evil forces and bring them to justice! As for you Everyone, let those who are clear be free. Next, would you like to say a few words to your master like this?"

Everyone immediately applauded.Xiang Hai stepped forward and saluted Zhu Ping first. Zhu Ping smiled and said, "Speak directly."

"Thank you, His Highness King Qin, for your trust!"

Xiang Hai first expressed his gratitude, and then further said: "Everyone has heard that His Highness King Qin has great trust in us ministers. However, we ministers must also repay His Highness's trust! Tomorrow, the task force will All work will be officially launched. Once again, the old minister has nothing to ask for. I just ask all colleagues to cooperate with the actions of the task force regardless of conditions. Especially those in the Audit Department, in addition to protecting the safety of the members of the task force , we must also cooperate with them in arresting some criminals, and we must cooperate fully!"

"Your Highness and Mr. Futai, please rest assured!"

Below, a man with a square face said loudly: "Luo Yang, Director of the Inspection Department of Huizhou Fucheng, hereby declares that he will fully cooperate with the adults of the task force to uproot all the evil forces in Huizhou Fucheng! To Huizhou Fucheng, and even The entire Huizhou Prefecture should set a safety model!"

It can be seen that in the Lingnan state capitals, Zhu Ping was very successful in making changes to folk customs, some discourses and terminology, including some changes to the official system.

Even too successful.

It's so successful that people like Xiang Hai, from being stubborn in the past, now speak impeccably in the official scene. Even the director of the inspection department like Luo Yang always talks about being an example and taking the lead.

Changes in bureaucracy, including some changes in responsibilities.

From ancient times to the present, county magistrates have decided cases, and they not only have the power of judges, but also have the power to impose penalties.

Therefore, at the local level, the power of the county magistrate is extremely great.

When they arrived at the state capital, those governors and magistrates had even greater power.

But in Zhu Xi's case, some powers in this area began to be restricted.

The legislative power is in Zhu Ping's hands.

Judicial power and law enforcement power are in the hands of the Audit Department and other three divisions.

The county magistrate no longer has the power to try cases, and the government office is gone.

In this way, there will be more officials with real power.

For example, take Luo Yang, the director of the Audit Department.

The power in his hands is not small.

Normally, there must be many people making friends with him.

As a result, he also used this kind of official talk casually.

Obviously he is already an old man.

"With your cooperation, if Daotong does not do well, that will be his problem."

Zhu Yu smiled and smoothed things over: "I don't have any worries, and I don't need to worry about anything, so don't worry, everyone. I just stay with my sister-in-law these days, and I will go back when she finishes her work. You, too. There is no need to guard me, after tonight’s banquet, you can do whatever you need to do!”

Next, the banquet begins.

Many maids began to serve the dishes.

There is even a dedicated maid waiting at each table, ready to serve these 'nobles' dining at any time.

At that time, Zhu Xi and Xiang Hai were at the table.

On his left is Xu Miaojin, and beyond that is Xin Ying. Then, two places apart in the middle, sit Luo Yang, the director of the Inspection Department, Shen Quan, the director of the Press and Inspection Department, and Lu Zhong, the director of the Criminal Department.

Xiang Hai sat on Zhu Xi's right side.

One Futai and three directors.

It can be regarded as the leadership team in the entire Huizhou Prefecture official system.

Of course, there are also some officials such as the Financial Secretary, but although their official positions are not low, they are obviously not as good as these people in terms of real power.

In addition, those who manage military affairs belong to some military officers directly under Zhu Xi's direct control. They all have their garrisons and are stationed in the barracks. They will not come to participate in occasions like this.

This is also the first feudal dynasty in history to completely separate military and political affairs. In previous dynasties, such as the Han, Tang, and even the Qin Dynasty, local feudal officials had more or less the power to mobilize the army.

However, here in Zhu Ming, there is no such thing.

All armies must act according to the instructions of the Qin Palace.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the local officials are, they will not be able to control them or mobilize them.

Without Zhu Xi's order, who would come to this banquet, whether it be the generals or soldiers from the Huizhou Prefecture Guard?

During the meal, Zhu Ping and Xiang Hai were chatting happily. Zhu Ping said to Xiang Hai, "You old guy, I'm starting to take care of you again when I decentralize you to the local government. Huizhou Prefecture, you are doing a good job in governing it." Well!"

"They are all cultivated by His Highness."

Xiang Hai drank the wine glass in one gulp, expressing his eager response.

"No, I didn't cultivate you."

Zhu Fang smiled and said to Xu Miaojin next to him: "This bad old man, he was always stubborn with your brother-in-law. When we were in Panyu Mansion, do you think I scolded him? What a stubborn old man! Haha... Xiang Hai , now you are very good, and you know that you have followed this king. Originally, Yao Guangxiao's seat should have been taken by you, but you didn't like this king at the beginning. Now, you make this king look pleasing to your eyes, but this king only wants What should I do if I am a prime minister who has a feudal country?"

"Your Highness is so kind to me, I deserve it!" Xiang Hai quickly drank another glass of wine.

Zhu Feng laughed again: "What do you have to feel guilty about? Well, now I am in charge of the sea king's fiefdom. There is a lot of waste waiting to be done over there! Xiang Hai, if you are willing, I can take care of it. You transfer over. Then I can keep the position of Prime Minister of the Sea King Mansion for you, how about that?"

In fact, Zhu Ming is also a soft-hearted person.

In other words, he is a person who misses old feelings.

When he was in Panyu Mansion, Zhu Xi was really angry when he first heard the news that Yao Guangxiao had committed a crime against Xiang Hai.

Lamenting its misfortune, anger is indisputable.

Even Zhu Xiang was determined that if Xiang Hai really committed a crime, he would never tolerate it!
But when he came to Huizhou Mansion, he also saw Xiang Hai, who was nearly [-] years old, but already full of white hair, and remembered the first time he saw him, he was wearing a tattered official uniform, an official robe He looked like he was making up again and again, which inevitably moved his heart of compassion.

That's why Zhu Xi said such things.

Give Xiang Hai a promotion and go to Gaoshan Island.

Change the place, change the environment.

Too……

Give him a chance.

Once again, a chance to start over!

Of course, Zhu Xiang's thoughts cannot be expressed clearly.

If he said that, wouldn't he be telling Xiang Hai that he had begun to doubt him?
Now let's see how Xiang Hai responds.

"As long as Your Highness has any use for my old bones, I will never give up!"

Xiang Hai answered very simply.

It even made Zhu Xiang's mind go into a trance...

Could it be that Xiang Hai really didn't know anything about some of his family's actions?
