Chenxi has gone from an outsider from Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces to a local official who has taken root in the local area.

To complete the transformation from a strong dragon to a local snake, we must first suppress the majesty of the local snake. He did a good job in this regard. Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan and other old ministers were too contemptuous of him, thinking that he was just a young man, so he was reversed by him. In the end, he could only let him dominate the Guangzhou Prefecture and the entire Guangdong Province.

Power is just a temporary moment. Don’t always fight against local officials. Doing that will only cause annoyance, and then there will be fierce collisions that lead to nothing. Cooperation is the mainstream.

What Chenxi needs to do is to gather local officials so that they can make achievements with him, which is more promising than listening to the words of the General Administration and the Censorate. As long as local officials taste the sweetness appropriately, the entire three southeastern provinces will be affected by that time, and Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi will become the base camp on the political road of Chenxi.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chenxi set up a Hongmen Banquet to entertain local military officials in Guangdong Province. The effect was very good. It not only established its authority and won over, but also made people speechless.

After Chen Xi sent the guests away, Tang Yin came in from the gate and saw the yard mess. He was stunned for a moment... In the morning, he sat in the back hall for several hours, and he didn't see Chen Xi's figure until Si Shi, so he visited Chen Mansion. As a result, he heard that Chen Xi had gone out early in the morning. He was at a loss for a moment, and finally he was so angry that he returned to the inn and slept until now.

It was already three o'clock now, and Tang Bohu had not dripped rice, and his stomach was almost hungry.

When Chen Xi saw Tang Yin, he was very curious and asked, "Oh, Brother Bo Hu, where have you been? Tsk tsk, where have you missed a banquet... Oh, by the way, I am trying to find you to find out about the situation in Luzon."

Tang Yin was a little angry: "Shen Zhongcheng, don't just talk to me about business affairs when you meet... There are some things, should you give me an explanation?"

Chen Xi thought to himself, Tang Yin was either trying to tell why his wife, Miss Xia, didn't have a wedding chamber with him, or questioned why he was detained by the Folang Jiman and almost lost his life. He immediately smiled and waved his hand: "Let's not talk about political affairs, Brother Bohu has heard some rumors outside recently?"

Tang Yin frowned slightly and asked, "I haven't been in Guangzhou for a long time, where can I hear the rumors?"

Chen Xi sighed lightly: "Recently, the people in the city have been circulating, saying that Tang Jieyuan of Suzhou Prefecture assisted the governor Chen to perform his duties, worked hard and worked hard to serve the country in a wilderness, but was detained by the barbaric people. He is a national hero..."

"Shen Zhongcheng, if you think that Tang is a three-year-old child, will you believe this nonsense? The people don't even know who I, Tang, are, and how can you spread it? The people praise your achievements? Little do you know that Shen Zhongcheng's achievements are based on the dry bones of countless people!" Tang Yin was filled with righteous indignation.

Chen Xi looked at Tang Yin... I didn't see you turning into a dry bone, what kind of nerves did you get? He immediately looked straight: "If Brother Bohu doesn't believe it, you can go out with me to listen to the rumors about the people."

“No need.”

Tang Yin said angrily, "Shen Zhongcheng, you have achieved success and fame. You will be transferred back to Beijing to become an official and promoted in the future. You are just promoted to the small people, and you only want a fairness... Shen Zhongcheng said that if you go to Luzon Island, you can let your family and the cheap be together, why don't you fulfill it?"

Chen Xi had no choice but to spread his hands... You and your wife couldn't have a bridal chamber, so he came to me and told me, "You are so handsome. Things in the boudoir were discussed in public. Is the Ming Dynasty so open?

When Tang Yin saw Chen Xi's behavior, he became more and more angry. If you didn't look for anyone you were looking for, you promised me!

Chen Xi raised his hand: "I have an errand here..."

"Don't look at him, even though he is not a noble man, he also knows etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. If the promised things cannot be fulfilled, he will do nothing!"

Chen Xi advised: "Brother Bohu, don't rush to refuse, let me finish my words. I have important matters, please bother Brother Bohu to Qiongzhou Prefecture..."

When Tang Yin heard that he was going to Qiongzhou Prefecture, he was furious. Okay, let me go to Luzon Island, a place in Huawai. Now I am asking me to go to Hainan Island. I will not give up until I torture it!

In the Ming Dynasty, although Hainan Island had long been Wanghua, there were poisonous snakes and beasts everywhere. Usually, only officials who were exiled would go to Qiongzhou Prefecture.

"If Brother Bo Hu is willing to go, ******* can go together. I wonder what to do?" Chen Xi finished speaking as Tang Yin glared at him.

Tang Yin hesitated for a moment and went with his wife. The situation would be different. The Qiongzhou Prefecture was no longer a bitter and cold place where he was sent, but a newlywed couple went on their honeymoon. He asked cautiously: "Shen Zhongcheng, aren't you slandering me again?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Brother Bohu went to Luzon Island before, and now he can go to Qiongzhou Prefecture with *******. Since the promise has been reached, how can it be considered a fraud?"

Tang Yin thought about it and felt that what Chen Xi said made sense.

However, he still made up his mind that he would not show off the rabbit or show the eagle. If you don’t satisfy my wish, I won’t set off. You can’t tie me up on the boat?

No, it’s really possible that I will tie me up. Isn’t it also tied up when I went south from Suzhou Prefecture? Until now, I still owed him sixty taels of silver for no reason, and he didn’t even pay me back the debt!

Chen Xi ignored Tang Yin and waved his hand: "Come here, prepare horses, I will go out of the city to visit relatives and friends later!"

...

...

Chen Xi has no relatives and friends in Guangzhou Prefecture. If you want to say anything, there are only Tang Yin and Xia Kuan. Since Chen Xi is going to leave the city, it goes without saying that she is going to see Xia Kuan. She may have to ask Miss Xia to perform her duties as Mrs. Tang.

Tang Yin was most passionate about this matter. Even if Chen Xi didn't mention it, he would take the initiative to follow him.

"Shen Zhongcheng, are you going to see Brother Tingsu? Let's go together!" Tang Yin left the gate of the official post and grabbed the reins of a horse.

Chen Xi did not explain, but turned over the horse and Tang Yin did not talk nonsense and jumped onto the horse and walked with him.

The streets on the first day of the Lunar New Year were empty. Tang Yin left the city and realized that he had not eaten since last night and was so hungry that he was so hungry that he was rumbled. However, compared with the expected wedding banquet, being hungry was nothing.

The group of people and Chen Xi's personal guards had more than 30 riders, followed by a carriage full of gifts and left the city and headed east. After walking six or seven miles, they arrived at the town where Xia Kuan temporarily lived.

When we entered the alley, dogs barking and chickens crowed endlessly. Peach talismans were posted on the doors of each household, and the doors were full of traces of **. However, there was no festive sign in front of the courtyard where Xia Kuan lived. It was obvious that Xia Kuan was worried about his mother's condition and the New Year was not doing well.

Chen Xi saw several children sitting in the yard wearing patched clothes, trembling with their hands, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This father, in order to be filial, his children ignore all their children. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, let the children blow cold wind in the yard. What if it is frozen?

"Mr. Qingshan is here?"

Chen Xi shouted, and Xia Kuan came out in person. He saw Chen Xi and Tang Yin coming together through the fence, and a little surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"Mr. Shen, Brother Tang, please..."

Xia Kuan personally opened the fence door and greeted him.

Chen Xi smiled and looked at Tang Yin, as if saying, Xia Kuan called you a virtuous brother. It seems that he would take the opportunity to get in touch with your brother-in-law as a family?

Tang Yin was thinking about the house at this moment, so how could he care about Xia Kuan? Just when he was not thinking about it, Chen Xi took a package from his entourage, took the lead into the yard, and said, "Today is the Spring Festival. I came here to pay New Year's greetings and brought some small gifts for the children."

"How can I let Lord Shen spend money?" Xia Kuan looked a little embarrassed.

Chen Xi had already handed over the package. One of Xia Kuan's sons opened it. They saw that there were very exquisite pastries, horseshoe cakes and chicken cakes on the surface, and they couldn't help but lit up. But the Xia family had a good tutor. None of the children reached out to get it, and they all looked at Xia Kuan.

Even Xia Kuan Tieshi's heart was so heartless that she could only wave her hand in the face of the child's longing gaze: "Going to the house to eat will not affect her father's visit!"

A few children went to the house happily, and Chen Xi asked Zhu Qi to bring in more gifts. Xia Kuan was not stubborn and accepted them after thanking him.

The Xia Mansion Mansion was not big, but many people lived there. Xia Kuan did not invite Chen Xi to sit in the house, but still placed tables and chairs in the yard to ask Chen Xi to sit down, while he himself bowed and stood.

Sitting in the yard in the middle of winter, Chen Xi thought that Xia Kuan’s hospitality was really unique.

Chen Xi asked with concern: "Mrs. Xia's illness, don't know what happened?"

Xia Kuan looked gloomy, obviously his condition had not improved. Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I brought some medicines, which may be helpful to the old lady's health."

"Hope, thank you Lord Shen." Xia Kuan nodded and thanked him.

Chen Xi nodded, saw Tang Yin being anxious beside him, and smiled and said, "Brother Bo Hu, is it inconvenient for me to be here? Do you have any questions to talk to Mr. Qingshan alone?"

Tang Yin glanced at Chen Xi and said, "Nothing happens anywhere."

What a quarrel, I clearly don't want to say it myself, let me say it.

However, Xia Kuan bowed to Tang Yin: "My brother Tang served the country and stayed in foreign countries. I have heard about it for my brother. Thank you for your hard work."

Tang Yin was a little confused when he heard this, and couldn't help looking at Chen Xi, muttering in his heart, could the people really praise me as a "national hero"? He immediately straightened his back.

Chen Xi sighed lightly: "Mr. Qingshan, there is something that should not be taken a liberty, but I have to say it. I am going to send Brother Tang to Qiongzhou Prefecture to do business... Although the salt in Luzon can solve the urgent problem, it is a place where the transformation is outside the world. I don't want to introduce advanced salt making technology to the Gentiles, so I think about it and it is more reliable to Qiongzhou Prefecture!"

"After Brother Tang goes to Qiongzhou Island, he will help me open a new salt field and contribute to the people of Ming Dynasty's food for affordable salt. However, Brother Tang has just returned from a foreign country and is alone and has no choice but to drown his sorrows with alcohol, but he doesn't know... Can you let Tang Xia go to Qiongzhou with him?"

When Tang Yin heard Chen Xi speak for him, describing his hardships and difficulties, he felt that Chen Xi was quite kind, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately frowned, "Do you, Shen Zhongcheng, want to speak so bluntly?" I have worked hard for a few words, but I want Xia Kuan, who is not in trouble, to agree to his sister with me?"

"this……"

Xia Kuan indeed looked embarrassed.

Tang Yin tried his best to wink Chen Xi, meaning you should change your words and say good things to me! But Chen Xi seemed to have not seen him, and just looked at Xia Kuan with a consulting gaze.

Xia Kuan hesitated for a while and finally nodded and agreed: "My brother Tang is working hard for state affairs and is now going to Qiongzhou again. If I don't agree, it will seem inhumane. Sister, come out and go with your husband!"
