Fu Song

Chapter 420

Although it was night, under the illumination of countless torches and lanterns, the entire street was as bright as day.

The Eight Immortals table filled the entire street, extending from Hu Yi and the others to the front of the red and colorful house at the end.

That house is the current Futai Yamen, and of course, it is also the bridal chamber of today's newlyweds.

From a rough look, I'm afraid there are no less than one hundred and eighty tables.

Hu Yi glanced at the food on the table, and the corner of his mouth twitched. It was a luxurious wedding banquet, but after thinking about who the woman was, he didn't think it was surprising.

He had worked in the third division, and although he was not good at business, he still knew that Da Song received the most money.

The sea trade of the Song Dynasty is an indispensable guarantee for supporting financial abundance.

The first emperor once made a special decree on this, specifically to protect those foreign maritime merchants who came to the Song Dynasty to do business.

Zheng Zeshi was one of the most famous merchants in the Song Dynasty, and money was really nothing to him.

It's just that Hu Yi didn't understand why Zheng Zeshi, a person floating in the sea, hooked up with Xiao Cheng?How can Xiao Cheng help him?

The team general, however, had already run forward in a hurry.

Hu Yi paced forward slowly, unhurriedly, still holding the shelf.

In terms of status, besides Xiao Cheng on Guizhou Road, he is the transfer envoy. This is Lun Gong.

But when it comes to personal matters, even if he and Xiao Yu are not on good terms, they have worked together anyway, so he can be regarded as Xiao Cheng's elder!
He walked slowly and gracefully, so Liu Fengkui and the others could only walk forward slowly behind him.

Liu Fengkui said that he has a lot of power, but his rank and status are really not high.

In the lobby, there were only two tables.

The people who can sit in the lobby are naturally the most powerful people on this land.

The one sitting at the top was not Xiao Cheng.

But Old Master Cen.

On the left and right of Old Master Cen, Xiao Cheng and Cen Zhong were sitting respectively.

Further down, there are Yang Qing, Tian Chou, Yang Wanfu, Zheng Zeshi, and Han Zhong.

The imperial court recognized the administrative division of Guizhou Road, appointed Xiao Cheng as the appeasement envoy, and then appointed Hu Yi as the transit envoy, and Liu Fengkui to take over the troubles, and did not say anything about other things. There is no interference.

Perhaps this is the wisdom of those people in Bianliang Dutang Xia Jie.

Because they knew that even if they intervened, it might not have any effect, but it would make Xiao Cheng feel more disgusted towards them, which would not be conducive to dealing with them in the future.

In fact, Xiao Cheng was not at all prepared to listen to the imperial court's opinion on how to manage Guizhou Road.

What he wants is an upright name, and the price he pays is that he will not rebel against the Song Dynasty, but will manage the entire southwest region as a courtier of the Song Dynasty.

Guizhou Road was divided into six prefectures and three states by him.

Guiyang, Tongren, Zunyi, Anshun, Bijie, Liupanshui and the three prefectures of Qiandongnan, Qianxinan and Qiannan.Of course, Liupanshui is still in Gao Yingxiang's hands and has not been taken back.

Lu Ze is in charge of Tongren, Yang Qing is in charge of Zunyi, Luo Gang is in charge of Bijie, Tian Chou is in charge of Qiandongnan, Sun Jing is in charge of Qiannan, Huang Rui is in charge of Qianxinan, Wei Xun is in charge of Anshun, and Guiyang Mansion is in the hands of Xiao Cheng.

Here, apart from Yang Qing and Tian Chou, Sun Jing, Huang Rui, Wei Xun, etc. are all locals. Sun Jing and Huang Rui are from Du County, and Wei Xun was once the son of Wei Fu, the magistrate of Xunzhou, Jimi Prefecture.

Fully trusting the locals, and giving the locals high positions and powers is also one of the reasons why Xiao Cheng can quickly gain a foothold on this land.

Force can conquer for a while, but if you want everyone to be convinced, just use power to overwhelm people, then it will not work.

You can win the world right away, but if you still want to rule the world right away, problems will inevitably arise over time.

And these locals stood out from the two-year competition and were able to sit in this room.

The other is the general.

The military commander is naturally headed by Yang Wanfu, who is under the jurisdiction of Duqian, and the Tiannan Army controls Li Xin. The original ruler, Wang Wenzheng, has now handed over all his military power tactfully. The Tianlang Army controlled Wang Zhu, the Zunyi Army and the Bozhou Army were reorganized and renamed the Tianping Army to control Yang Bin and the Yang clan, and the Tian clan soldiers and horses were reorganized into the Tianyi Army to control Tian Zhen. Taiwanese soldiers.

These six troops belong to the regular army of Guizhou Road. Each army has [-] people, and Han Kai's department has [-] people. Because this army not only has to guard Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Road, but also has to protect Futai Yamen officials are responsible for safety.Strictly speaking, the guard of Hu Yi, the incoming transit envoy, should also be guarded by this army.

Of course, whether Hu Yi dares to ask for it is another matter.

The [-] elites are the reliance of Guizhou Road.

Of course, there are Xiangjun, Xiangbing, Tuanlian and other local troops above the local area, but Xiao Cheng has already planned to completely abolish the Xiangjun.

In other places, the Xiang army had to undertake many local government services, and was even used by the officials as their own servants, because although the Xiang army did not pay much, it was still an expense after all.

Xiao Cheng didn't intend to be taken advantage of. In Xiao Cheng's plan, there was absolutely no need for the Xiang Army to exist. To maintain local law and order, local armed organizations such as township soldiers and regiment training were sufficient.

Township soldiers and regiment training are organized by the localities themselves. Although the government will give some money, it is not much. After all, it is not a permanent organization.

Today, all the civil and military officials on Guizhou Road gathered together.

Participating in Han Kai's wedding is one of them, and the other is that Xiao Cheng wants to call everyone together to discuss the next policy policy for Guizhou Road.

And in the yard outside the house, there are more than ten tables. Apart from some important civil and military officials from Futai Yamen, those sitting on these tables are all businessmen from the federation.

The ceremony was over, and the bride was naturally sent to the bridal chamber long ago, but Han Kai was returning to the hall with the jug at this time, toasting everyone.

At the first table, everyone can be regarded as the elder of Han Yan. Although Xiao Cheng is about the same age as Han Yan, he is not only Han Yan's boss, but also the head of the Han family. Of course, there will be no one at this table. Drinking Korean pot wine.

Holding up the wine that Han Yan had filled for everyone, everyone was smiling and saying some words of congratulations, especially Han Zhong, who was so happy that he could hardly speak.

"Give birth to a son earlier, give birth to a few more sons, it's a pity that your grandpa can't see it!" Mentioning the old man Han Zheng, Han Zhong couldn't help but reddened his eyes, even Xiao Cheng felt dejected, patted Han Kai on the shoulder, and tilted his neck , Drank the wine to the last drop.

"I have many sons, but I only have one daughter!" Zheng Zeshi was able to sit at this table today, naturally because he is the father-in-law of the bridegroom officer, people like Luo Kaixian are still sitting in the yard at this moment.

Of course, Zheng Zeshi firmly believed that his future, or the future of his Zheng family, would be able to sit at the same table with these big shots in an open and honest manner.

Because of the prospect Xiao Cheng described to him.

Zheng Zeshi has gathered all the shipbuilders under his command to understand the blueprints of the big ships given by Xiao Cheng, and now he has almost fully grasped the blueprints. The first big ship is under construction.

Once it is built, it will not be the kind of super warship owned by the Da Song Navy at sea.

He Zheng Zeshi will also have.

Moreover, the Great Song Navy now only has two super warships of this kind in total, and as long as he built the first one, he can build the second, third and more.

The main enemies of the Song Dynasty are on land, the Liao people in the north and even Xiao Ding in the northwest, so they cannot invest too much power in the sea, but Zheng Zeshi was born and lived in the sea, and all his All belongings will also be thrown into the sea.

And these investments must be returned ten times and a hundred times in the future.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, the son-in-law will definitely cherish his wife." Han Kai was not good at words, and after holding back for a long time, he finally uttered such a sentence, his face turned red, and everyone at the table burst into laughter.

"Duke Zheng, what do you think of going to Quanzhou to accompany you after the young couple have a grandson in two years?" Holding a wine glass, Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

Zheng Zeshi was slightly stunned, but immediately reflected: "Futai, I only have such a daughter, married here, but the old wife at home is very sad, and her brothers are also missed very much. Going back and settling down, that’s really what you want, what you want!”

Han Kai was a little baffled while carrying the jug, why did he go to Quanzhou by himself?Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Cheng seemed to glance at him inadvertently, and he immediately swallowed his words back. It seemed that this was Erlang's idea. As for why, we can only ask later.

Except for Han Kai who didn't understand, everyone at this table knew it well.

Xiao Cheng is going to extend his hand to Quanzhou. Zheng Zeshi's fleet, which will be the navy of the federation in the future, is completely in the hands of Zheng Zeshi. The rest of the federation can't rest assured.

But in the pockets of other members of the federation, there really wasn't any aquatic talents that could be brought out, and if someone was inserted abruptly, the Zheng family would definitely resent it, and it would be justifiable to let the Zheng family's son-in-law go.

Everyone smiled and toasted, Xiao Cheng shoved Han Yan to another table to toast, the table over there was mostly military generals, and they would not be so polite to Han Yan, if he didn't pour him a few glasses, the general It is impossible to get out of this room.

But today, the picture is just a celebration, even if he is drunk, so what's the problem?
Xiao Cheng stood up and was about to raise a glass to invite a drink, but saw a general trotting in at the gate.

"Reporting to Futai, the transfer envoy, Bachelor Hu Yihu, is here, just outside the door!" The team general glanced at the people in the room, his face turned redder with excitement, and his voice trembled a little.

"Hu Yi?" Several people in the room looked at each other, except for Han Zhong and Zheng Zeshi, everyone else laughed.

Tian Chou stood up and said, "On behalf of Futai, I will go to meet you!"

Yang Qing smiled and stood up: "After all, he is a third-rank official, representing Bianliang, the face of the official family and the government, let's go to greet you, the two Futai, but Mr. Cen just cares Just sit down!"

Xiao Cheng smiled and nodded.

Tian Chou greeted those people at the other table, and under the leadership of Yang Wanfu, those generals also stood up and followed Tian Chou to the outside.

Strictly speaking, the transfer envoy along the way does not have to take orders from the appeasement envoy, the two are officials on two lines.It stands to reason that Xiao Cheng should go out to greet him.

After all, in terms of qualifications, Hu Yi is much older than Xiao Cheng, a newly promoted official, and he is also his colleague.

Although he and Xiao Yuzhen can still be regarded as enemies.

But this person obviously came to Guizhou Road to be a nail and a villain.

Both sides are well aware of this.

That being the case, why should Xiao Cheng give face to the other party?

On the contrary, it is only serious for him to slap the other party's face severely.

He needs to let all the officials, gentry, and respectable people on Guizhou Road understand that this person is not welcome with him, Xiao Cheng, what you want to do is up to you!
As for Cen Zhong, there is no reason to go out to meet Hu Yi.

Regardless of qualifications or grades, Cen Zhong is better than Hu Yi.

"Your official Tian Chou, I have seen the transfer envoy!" Tian Chou smiled and cupped his fists, bowing his hands.

"Sizhou Tianzhizhou?" Hu Yi didn't dare to neglect, he clasped his fists in return, glanced, saw Yang Qing on the side, and quickly turned around again: "Yang Zhizhou?"

Tian Chou chuckled: "Transportation envoy, we are no longer there. Mr. Yang is now the governor of Zunyi Prefecture, and Mr. Tian is now the governor of Qiandongnan Prefecture. Oh, yes, you are on the road, and you may not know about some changes on Guizhou Road. Futai divides Guizhou Road into six prefectures and three prefectures, everyone is gathered here today, come here, everyone, come and report your registration number in front of the transfer envoy!"

"Six prefectures and three prefectures?" Hu Yi's face turned pale. For such a major event, Xiao Cheng did what he said, and even appointed all the officials. Under the Song Dynasty, let alone a prefecture, it was a magistrate , it must be appointed by Dutang and approved by the officials. He Xiao Cheng, how does Dutang see the officials in his eyes?
He turned his head and looked at Liu Fengkui, only to see that Liu Fengkui lowered his brows and had no expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard what the other party said at all.

"Where's Xiao Futai?"

Tian Chou smiled slightly, turned sideways and said: "Futai is waiting in the house, transfer envoy, please!"

"He has such a big air!" Hu Yi took a deep breath.

"Single-handedly, Xiao Futai made great contributions to newly establishing Guizhou Road for the Song Dynasty, so he deserves to be a bit bigger." Yang Qing stroked his gray beard and smiled.

Hu Yi was so angry that he choked up. Yang Qing said something cryptic, but the meaning behind it was to secretly ridicule him that Hu Yi was judged by Xiao Yu as an incompetent back then?
