Borrow the day to change the day

As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard this, he stopped chatting with Yu Changjian, stood up and said, "Go, go to the lobby."

At this time, Zhong Jinwei and his guards had already changed into official uniforms.On both sides of the lobby, there are fan servants standing.If you don't know it, you may think this is Dongchang.

Those who know something, naturally know that this is the treatment only available to Duke Xingguo.And now the Duke is still an imperial envoy who holds the Shangfang sword. If he wants to kill someone, with his power, he will be much more justified than the daring Governor Yuan.

Seeing Duke Xingguo coming out of the back office, the chief envoy of Guangzhou knelt down to greet him.

Don't say that Zhong Jinwei is an imperial envoy now, but with his own status as the Duke of Xingguo, his status and prestige in the Ming Dynasty's official circles today is at least three levels higher than that of the chief envoy, and he must kneel down to greet him according to the etiquette system.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Zheng Zhilong and stood aside, and there was a small box behind the chief envoy.He couldn't help but smile slightly in his heart, secretly thinking that Zheng Zhilong is indeed a smart person.

Unsurprisingly, after seeing the ceremony, the chief envoy reported to Zhong Jinwei before Xing Guogong asked, "The next official is preparing to return the silver to the Shibosi. Boss, I just happened to be able to see the heroic face of the Duke. The talent of the Duke of Heaven has quelled the chaos of Jianlu, and he is really my savior."

Sun Chuanting was standing in front of Zhong Jinwei's side. Seeing this situation, he was secretly surprised that the Duke of the State just went to spread the news that the political envoy came, and he was able to bring the silver with him and return it to the Shibosi.

I begged for it again and again but failed, but was inadvertently asked to come back by the Duke.It seems that this person is really incomparable.

The chief envoy's explanation, mixed with flattery, made Zhong Jinwei laugh out loud.He didn't ask about some of the details. After laughing, he said directly: "That's really a coincidence. I sent you over, and I was about to ask about the Bank of Shibo, and I solved it without thinking. This is the best, and everyone is happy. .”

The chief envoy smiled awkwardly, and quickly explained to Xing Guogong: "It was originally supposed to be returned to the Shibosi, but there are many refugees in Guangdong, so money is tight, so it took so long to return it."

"Oh, so that's the case! That's good. I thought there was corruption and breaking the law. I really misunderstood you. Come on, let's set up a seat." Zhong Jinwei seemed to believe it was true, and the chief executive breathed a sigh of relief.

At the moment when the guards moved out a stool to set up a seat for the chief envoy, Zhong Jinwei said to Sun Chuanting again: "Since the money has been returned, you can check it, and don't misunderstand the chief envoy next time."

Although the rank of chief envoy is still higher than that of Sun Chuanting, he is under the direct management of the imperial household department.According to Sun Chuanting's temper, when he was about to come and go but couldn't get any silver taels, he said something impulsively.

Now that the silver has been returned, and the Chief Envoy is higher in rank than him after all, and he is a local official, he will inevitably trouble the Chief Envoy with many things in the future, so Sun Chuanting simply apologized to the Chief Envoy.

With Zhong Jinwei sitting on it, the chief minister dared to have an opinion on Sun Chuanting.Pretending to be magnanimous, he laughed it off.

Afterwards, Zhong Jinwei was chatting with the chief envoy about the situation in Guangzhou, while Sun Chuanting counted the face value of Jiusibao banknotes on the spot, and asked his subordinates to remove the box.

Seeing that Sun Chuanting had finished his work, Zhong Jinwei let him sit down as well, and planned to talk about the Shibo Department together.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Gu Baichuan came in from the outside, and then reported to Zhong Jinwei: "The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Wang Yehao, has arrived, please see the Duke."

As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard this, he paused his preparations to speak, and passed the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi into the lobby.

After a while, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi entered the lobby, followed by a personal attendant, holding a small box in his arms.

When he saw the situation in the hall through the dim candlelight, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, he didn't expect the chief envoy to be here.

However, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately greeted him.

After the ceremony, he reported to Xing Guogong: "The situation in Guangxi is a little tense due to the influence of the chieftain of Yunnan and Guizhou. Therefore, the official temporarily embezzled the silver of the Shibo Division for military use. Now I just received an urgent report saying that the situation in Guangxi is no longer there. Seeing that Sun Tiju was anxious about the silver taels, he prepared to return them tomorrow. I didn’t expect that the Duke of the State just came to pass on the order, so I brought it along.”

After the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi finished speaking, he made a move.The relative behind him casually took a step forward, offering the small box with both hands.

When the chief envoy saw the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi carrying a small box into the lobby, he already guessed what it was.His face was a little embarrassed, because the time was tight, and there was no negotiation, and there was even a repayment of the money.

In this way, the Duke of the State saw that he had returned two silver taels, and he was afraid that he would investigate the secret behind it.In terms of the power that the Duke has, the previous things may be dug out by the Duke.

When the chief envoy thought of this, his back began to sweat faintly. He was sitting there sideways, and looked at the Duke's face from the corner of his eye.

Unexpectedly, the Duke didn't realize it, as if the previous repayment of the silver had never happened, and he didn't ask who embezzled the silver taels, and why there were two silver taels again.

Zhong Jinwei just said something similar to what he said to the chief envoy to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at the beginning, and asked Sun Chuanting to count it up and put it away.

Sun Chuanting is not a fool, he was happy to accept two shares of money.If the Duke doesn't mention it, he won't say it.

The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was also given a seat, just above Sun Chuanting.Zhong Jinwei looked at the three military and political officials below, and said to them: "The biggest purpose of my trip to Guangdong this time is to prepare enough food for the imperial court to solve the upcoming food crisis in Ming Dynasty. You are all senior officials of Ming Dynasty , You should also be able to understand the situation in Daming from the mansion newspaper. Therefore, I will not describe them one by one.”

Zhong Jinwei said this because the current Dibao has also been divided into levels.Different content has different levels of confidentiality, and the content of the mansion newspaper seen by high and low officials is also different.

When Zhong Jinwei said this, his tone became serious, and he emphasized to the three people below: "I don't worry about what happened before. But I will say the ugly things first. If anyone opposes my purpose of raising food, I will I won’t be polite either. If anyone doesn’t believe in my ability, they can just come and give it a try.”

When the three people below heard this, they immediately stood up, saluted Zhong Jinwei together and said: "Please rest assured, the lower officials will cooperate wholeheartedly."

No one has the guts to confront the Duke, otherwise they would not take the initiative to bring Yin here.After all, Duke Guo is the No. 1 official in the Ming Dynasty, not only has a great military power, but also many systems of the imperial court came from him.

Now the Duke of the State is still carrying the Dongchang fan servant with him, so there may be other hidden means.It is not too difficult for the Duke of the State to catch a person's handle and question him, it's just a matter of time.

After getting their statement, Zhong Jinwei said in a gentle tone: "It's getting late today, I just arrived in Guangzhou, and I'm already tired. I'll discuss things tomorrow morning."

As soon as the three of them resigned, Zhong Jinwei didn't rest, and called Zheng Zhilong to the back office to discuss the matter.
