Chapter Eighty-fifth: Three Joys Come to the Door
After the greetings, there was nothing to say. When it was time to eat, Zhang Yan still spoke and did the important things.
He didn't believe Luo Yongsheng just came to visit this Tokyo City for a trip.
"If you look at the fire in a straight way, you can't hide anything."
Faced with Luo Yongsheng's flattery, Zhang Yan smiled: "Although I have known you for a long time, I still have some understanding. In addition, there is an old age, so don't be so disgusted in front of me. It's okay to just say something."
“Hey.”
Luo Yongsheng carefully considered his words and tentatively said: "I heard from Chen Tangzun that he is about to be promoted."
"Well, this is the case." Zhang Yan twisted his beard and nodded: "I am working as a Privy Councilor and know the most about the Southwest. Hanzhou has been restored. The imperial army surrounded Yizhou ten days ago. I expected that the rebels would be pacified in less than a month.
To be honest, I have begun to draft military reports on merit and rewards. In this case, Hongzhou City has taken the credit, so it is natural for the court to promote Chen Li."
"Who is the successor?"
This is Luo Yongsheng’s most concerned thing: “The rebels in the southwest can settle day by day, and the war in the north has stopped again. Should the one above our Hongzhou be back?”
"What you are talking about is Zhao Yuanwei, the prince of the county."
Zhang Yan clinked glasses with Luo Yongsheng and drank, and smiled: "Ten days ago, the official family had just issued a grace order and added the county prince to the government affairs. Do you understand?"
To be a minister, you are the minister.
Luo Yongsheng's eyes lit up immediately.
If ordinary scholars and officials worship the ministers, they will naturally be happy, but Zhao Yuanwei is a clan relative.
This title is not a happy event for him, and the political signal here is very simple.
It was the emperor who was obviously trying to keep Zhao Yuanwei in the capital and remove the vassal state!
"Not only Hongzhou, but also in the next two years, the governor's offices across the country will be gradually removed." Zhang Yan really didn't think about what Luo Yongsheng was planning to find out about this matter. He just said that as a businessman in Hongzhou, he was concerned about who the boss would be, and he would burn incense and worship Buddha in the future.
That's true. What bad intentions can Luo Yongsheng have? He just wants to rebel.
"Not only will the Grand Governor's Office be sacked, but once the Southwest rebels are destroyed, the Zhennan Army will go north."
Is this a double happiness?
Luo Yongsheng was shocked. The Zhennan Army was one of the few elite imperial guards in the Jiangnan area. Once they went north and stayed in Hongzhou, the only ones who were trained in the regiment were the Xiang army.
"Why did you go north?"
The surprise came too suddenly, and Luo Yongsheng was a little confused, thinking that he was lucky enough to shine, otherwise good things would follow one after another.
"No reason, it's just time." Zhang Yan said lightly: "It's a rotating garrison."
The rotation of the troops made Luo Yongsheng suddenly realize.
He thought he had left his luck and almost forgot about it.
The so-called rotating garrison was created after Zhao Dagu’s release of military power.
That is, the military forces in the south are transferred from north to south, and the army in the world is rotated and mobilized. The purpose is to not know the generals and generals do not know the soldiers, reduce the possibility of local warlords and eliminate rebellions.
So this great event was not favored by God at all. Luo Yongsheng or not. If time comes, the Zhennan Army will have to leave.
Even if the Zhennan Army leaves, the north will also transfer an army to Hongzhou south.
After all, Hongzhou and Shengzhou are both the only two important towns in Jiangnan, and it is impossible for them to be guarded by the imperial guards.
After all, once these two places are lost, half of the world will be destroyed.
So I was still too happy too early.
Seeing Luo Yongsheng without saying anything, Zhang Yan laughed and said, "As for you, I have also found an errand for you."
Have you found an errand for me?
Luo Yongsheng looked at Zhang Yan in a daze, not understanding the meaning of the latter's words.
"Shuzhi, the people in the next Guizhou people have no fame and fortune, so how can they do a job?"
"You have meritorious."
He stretched out his hand and patted Luo Yongsheng on the shoulder. Zhang Yan encouraged him: "The merits of fighting rebellions in the southwest are in Hongzhou's food and money supply, and the merits of Hongzhou are in the hands of your shopkeeper Luo, who spared no effort to make the merits. The court can see it.
If you have no fame and no Jinshi exam, you will not be a magistrate, but you can still find some idle places. I entrust you to be the Dushui River in Hongzhou, to repair the Gongshu, and to the front of the governor's yamen, to specialize in grain tax transportation and grain transportation. Although you have no rank, your responsibilities are the same as the eighth-rank janitor, and you can also receive the salary of the court in the future."
If you don’t have an official position, you are equivalent to an official!
What is surprise? What is a fucking surprise!
That's it.
At this moment, Luo Yongsheng was so excited that he couldn't sit still, so he got up and was about to bow, but was supported by Zhang Yan.
"I have been working in Hongzhou for decades. I should take care of anything that can take care of. I don't have to do this. In the future, I hope you can continue to serve the imperial court in Hongzhou as always, so that I can also be ashamed of my face in Beijing."
"Yongsheng must go through fire and water!" Luo Yongsheng's eyes turned red in an instant, and his emotions came as he burst into tears and burst into tears: "My nephew's life was miserable. He killed his parents. He thought he was lonely and lonely in this life, but he never thought that he would be lucky enough to see Shuzhi in Hongzhou, know the kindness of meeting and promotion, how can I repay it?
You are like my parents, wuwu, don’t worry, Yongsheng will definitely serve you in the future, and he will die for the court, and he will have no regrets in his death."
Seeing Luo Yongsheng crying so hard, Zhang Yan had to comfort him. After comforting him for a long time, he could not help but feel moved when he saw the latter so sincere.
He is a young man after all, and he is so excited that he is so happy about such a little favor.
"My dear nephew, when you return to Hongzhou in the future, you can sit and wait. Once the southwest is determined, the imperial decree that will be rewarded will be given. Then you can take office immediately. Remember, Hongzhou is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the grain transportation and the Yangtze River must be paid attention to. In addition, the importance of the grain tax is also the key, and there should be no mistakes."
After emphasizing it a few more times, after getting the promise of Luo Yongsheng to pat his chest and make a promise, Zhang Yan stopped talking about this and raised his glass with a smile.
"Come and drink with me."
"Nephew, uncle, Jing."
Climbing up the pole, Zhang Yan called his nephew for the front foot, and Luo Yongsheng's uncle must be arranged in place. He shouted naturally, and Zhang Yan heard it naturally. At this moment, the two of them seemed to be their own family.
After a banquet, Luo Yongsheng, who had put Zhang Yan down, said goodbye. On the way back to the inn, he walked with wind!
This visit to Zhang Yan was really in vain.
Three joys come, three joys come!
The vassal was removed and the Hongzhou Grand Governor's Office was eliminated, and the Zhennan Army was rotated northward. He transformed himself into an official job.
As long as the new governor of Hongzhou is new, no, I will be called a governor in the future.
Without the Governor's Office, there will naturally be no governor position, but will be replaced by a magistrate who will be arrested by civil and military officials.
As long as the new magistrate is an official promoted from Hongzhou, Luo Yongsheng can really build high walls and accumulate grain.
Become the king slowly!
