Borrow the day to change the day

After Zhong Jinwei got Sun Chuanting's explanation, he naturally no longer misunderstood Sun Chuanting, and at the same time understood why those anti-smuggling soldiers had no military discipline at all.

Just imagine, the anti-smuggling soldiers are not only in great danger to their lives, but their military salaries are also owed, who would go all out again!

Zhong Jinwei looked at Sun Chuanting, and asked kindly, "Apart from silver taels, do you have any difficulties here?"

Sun Chuanting was overjoyed when he heard it. Hearing the meaning of the Duke, it seemed that he wanted to solve the problem for himself.

So, without hesitation, he faced Zhong Jinwei again and told him, "Guogong Mingjian, there are indeed many difficulties."

"Oh, tell me about it." Zhong Jinwei ordered immediately.

When Sun Chuanting's subordinates saw this situation, they all smiled.Before Shibo was in Guangzhou, his grandfather was not close to him, and his grandmother did not love him, so it was really difficult to do things.

Now Xing Guogong, the imperial envoy who bestowed Shang Fangjian and inspected the military and political affairs of the southern provinces on behalf of the sky came to support them. It can be foreseen that the spring of Shibosi is coming.

They all listened intently to Sun Chuanting's report to Duke Xingguo, in case there were any omissions in the proposal, they could remind them.

I only heard Sun Chuanting report to Zhong Jinwei: "Duke, one of the difficulties of the Shibo Department besides the bank is that the troops are not enough to patrol the long coastline. This is one of them."

"Secondly, the scale of the Guangzhou water battalion is less than one-tenth of its heyday, and the Shi Ship Department often has yin and yang violations when it transfers the water battalion. It doesn't mean that the ship needs to be overhauled, but the naval gun It needs maintenance, or the sailor gets sick or something."

"Not only that, there are almost no warships in Guangzhou Shuying. Whether it is warships or naval guns, they are not even as powerful as those ocean-going smuggling ships. Calling Shuying to suppress smuggling at sea has become almost impossible. .”

"Third, the equipment of the anti-smuggling soldiers is too backward. There have been many times when the anti-smuggling soldiers confronted the armed smugglers and found that their weapons were sharper than the anti-smuggling soldiers, so that they were beaten by the armed smugglers."

"Fourth, at the beginning when the Shibo Department took over, there were all kinds of trustees who said favors, but they were coldly rejected by the lower officials. As a result, when the lower officials encountered problems and needed assistance from local gentry and government, they often shirked Condition."

"Fifth, the Shibo Department has left a lot of debts in the past. It is unclear and unclear, and it is also a headache."

"The sixth..."

Zhong Jinwei listened to Sun Chuanting's narration of difficulties, and he couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart, it really wasn't so easy for the Shibo Department to operate as expected.

If I don't come here and just sit in Beijing and wait for the harvest of the Shibo Division, I will probably miss something.

According to Sun Chuanting's statement, it can be said that there are many difficulties in achieving this city shipping department as expected.I don't know how much time it will take just to solve these troublesome things.

Right now, the imperial court is in urgent need of food from Nanyang, and the Shibo Department must also operate normally to bring more taxes to the imperial court.If we follow the conventional methods and solve them one by one, it may take too long.

It seems that it is still necessary to use unconventional means to cut through the mess as I had imagined before.

Sun Chuanting talked on and on for about a quarter of an hour before basically explaining all the difficulties.With his memory, naturally there will be no difficulties worth mentioning that he will miss.

After Sun Chuanting's subordinates listened to his statement, they didn't have anything to add.He just looked at Duke Xing, not knowing what the Duke could do to solve it.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, Zhong Jinwei did not directly express his thoughts, but said to Sun Chuanting: "My imperial envoy is located in your Shibusi Yamen, and if you don't solve your problems, I won't let you go." gone."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting quickly led his subordinates to salute Zhong Jinwei and said, "Thank you, Duke. With the Duke here, nothing will go wrong."

After finishing speaking, Sun Chuanting immediately suggested to Zhong Jinwei: "Duke, it will take some time for the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi and the chief envoys to arrive, why don't you go have a meal and rest for a while?"

Hearing what he said, Zhong Jinwei also felt tired.After all, I just arrived in Guangzhou in the morning, and then I just ate casually at the inn, and then came out for a private visit.As a result, I encountered a series of things again, and I have been busy until now.

Zhong Jinwei immediately nodded in agreement, and Sun Chuanting led him to have a meal and rest.

After eating, Sun Chuanting was busy arranging the appointment of the imperial envoy.But Zhong Jinwei occupied the magpie's nest and rested in Sun Chuanting's back office.

After Yu Changjian brought tea to Zhong Jinwei, seeing Zhong Jinwei drinking tea, he said worriedly: "Master, I didn't expect the Shibo Department to have so many troubles. I think if the master wants to help the Shibo Department solve them one by one, I'm afraid it will take too long. Madam's delivery may not be in time."

When he saw in the restaurant that the Nanyang Huaxia people would try their best to transport food, he was secretly happy, and the matter was resolved smoothly.But I didn't expect to find so many difficulties after coming to Shibo Division.

Zhong Jinwei was drinking tea. Hearing what Yu Changjian said, he put down his teacup with great interest, looked at Yu Changjian and said, "I didn't expect you to still think about solving these things, yes, it's right to be diligent in thinking! Then tell me what you think, don’t worry about making mistakes, just say what you think.”

Yu Changjian blushed, but fortunately the oil lamp was not very bright, so others might not be able to see clearly.He was naturally familiar with Zhong Jinwei, so he was blunt and expressed his thoughts.

I have been talking a lot, and according to the difficulties that Sun Chuanting said, I have to talk about the corresponding strategies he thinks one by one.There are such things as open and unannounced visits, possession of evidence, reprimands, convicts, and beheadings.

After finally waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhong Jinwei asked him with a smile, "If you do what you do, how much time will you spend here?"

Yu Changjian's face turned red again, and he replied a little embarrassedly: "That's why I said that the troubles here are serious, and I'm afraid that the master will not be able to return to the capital."

Zhong Jinwei shook his head with a smile, picked up the teacup and drank it down, and then said to Changjian: "It's a trivial matter not to be able to go back. Archie will be watched by his mother-in-law, and will be served by the imperial doctor and Mrs. Wen specially appointed by the emperor. What a big deal. If it takes a long time, the biggest trouble is that the food supply in the north will not be available, and there will be big troubles. The situation that was achieved through hard work in the past may not achieve the desired results in many ways."

Yu Changjian secretly sighed that the realm between himself and the Duke was too far apart, and then hurriedly asked Zhong Jinwei, "Then what can the master do?"

Zhong Jinwei was about to speak out his thoughts when he heard footsteps coming from the door, followed by a guard reporting: "Duke, the Chief Executive of Guangzhou has arrived."
