The river water brushed the shore on the Tang Dynasty ferry, stirring up gentle waves on the steps, and then turned around and turned into layers of ripples towards the center of the river. The cannon boats moored at the dock swayed slightly with the river water.
Wu Changshi put one hand behind his back and stopped in front of the gangplank of a canal ship, waiting for Ruan Dacheng on the dock. He did not look impatient at all. He and Ruan Dacheng did not stay long, and stayed in Anqing for two or three days before leaving and returning to Nanjing.
You can take a boat to go downstream. The journey is much easier than when you came here. Pang Yu specially arranged a boat to transport only the two of him and his entourage. Now
It was a great honor to come to see him off in person. Wu Changshi was also quite knowledgeable and knew that Ruan Dacheng and Pang Yu were old friends, so he left the dock first and left the two of them alone to say goodbye.
Ruan Dacheng on the dock looked up at Zhongjiang Tower. Pang Yu did not disturb him. After a while, Ruan Dacheng looked back. He sighed and looked at Pang Yu and said, "My uncle is called the romantic prefect, and he founded the Ruan family theater troupe.
My great-uncle was still acting on stage when he was more than seventy years old. I followed his preference. I often recall that in Pang Xiaoyou's "The Female Consort"
The singing tune is quite similar to the tune that my great-uncle rehearsed when he returned to Huangmei Mountain."
"They are all from Anqing, so they are naturally similar." Pang Yu heard the words "Huangmeishan" and did not dare to discuss this topic in depth, but he knew that Ruan Dacheng mentioned his uncle at this time, probably because he left his hometown again and was somewhat sad about separation.
As expected, Ruan Dacheng did not continue. When he turned around and saw Wu Chang waiting, he lowered his voice and said to Pang Yu, "In Wuchang, this person was a general under Zhang Pu. He went to Jiangnan and the capital to write a letter to Zhou Zhikui.
Heng is also valued." Pang Yu was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered that Bo Heng was the name of Feng Quan. This eunuch had been in the cabinet and had a close relationship with the eunuchs in the palace. Although he was not an official, he was no less than an official. He had always been
It was the high branch that Pang Yu hoped to climb. Unexpectedly, Wu Changshi had already
Already climbed up.
"After the Chinese New Year, I would like to arrange for Liu Ruogu to go to the capital. I wonder if Mr. Ruan intends to go to the north to visit his old friends. In this way, Liu Ruogu will take care of him all the way."
What Pang Yu meant by this was that he hoped that Ruan Dacheng would go to the capital to help with the opening of a bank. "It's okay to take a walk, otherwise some old friends will be separated." Ruan Dacheng said happily, "Mr. Feng already has one there.
I agree, if you want to open a silver bank in the capital, you need someone to take care of you. The husband in the ceremonial department has this ability, but what about eunuchs?
There is nothing else but greed for money. If you ask them to take care of you, it will become a bottomless pit. The safest way is to follow the path of Mr. Feng."
"I heard that Mr. Feng's contribution to Wen Tiren's return home this time is due to Mr. Feng's contribution. Since the situation in the government has changed, perhaps there is hope for Mr. Feng's resurrection."
Pang Yu did not directly ask about Ruan Dacheng's resurrection. He knew that Ruan Dacheng was very addicted to officialdom, and it would be unsightly to ask about his pain points, so he asked Feng Quan first. As long as an eunuch returned, Ruan Dacheng's hope would be there.
"Even Mr. Feng, it may not be that easy. Someone came from the capital and said that when the emperor summoned the official minister, he still insisted..." After Ruan Dacheng finished speaking, his mood suddenly fell into depression. Pang Yu knew that the matter had stopped again.
.
Ruan Dacheng waved his hand, "As long as you have the heart to serve the people, it doesn't matter whether you recover or not."
"Mr. Ruan's high moral integrity will one day be known to the world." Ruan Dacheng looked at the Yangtze River Tower again, his eyes were quite complicated. Pang Yu didn't know whether he was missing his uncle or someone else in the Ruan family. After a while,
Ruan Dacheng finally turned around and said to Pang Yu in a low voice, "There is something
I almost forgot to tell Pang Xiaoyou that Fang Kongzhen has been resurrected and has been appointed as Minister of Nanjing Shangbao, a fifth-rank official. His many years of hard work have been in vain."
Pang Yu suddenly realized that this news probably stimulated Ruan Dacheng. Fang Kongzhen and Ruan Dacheng were from the same hometown and were of the same age. Fang Kongzhen's comeback was obviously much easier, while Ruan Dacheng's comeback was still far away. Ruan Dacheng did not explain much, and talked with him.
Pang Yu bowed his hands and said goodbye. Wu Changshi waited until Ruan Dacheng reached the gangplank and helped Ruan Dacheng up the gangplank before boarding the ship himself. The boatman held up the bamboo pole, maneuvered the canoe slowly away from the shore, and then raised the sail.
, gradually moving away along the river.
"Second brother, if Ruan Dacheng sincerely works for us, then Baishuntang's stock will not lose at all." "You still have to believe in my vision when it comes to looking at people." Pang Yu turned to look at He Xianya and stopped.
After a moment, he said, "Third brother, originally I planned to release you as an official, but the situation in Anqing has changed.
I will follow Mr. Xiong to suppress the bandits. This is the foundation of Anqing. No one of my own is worried about me. I want to hear what my third brother wants first."
He Xianya quickly stood up and said, "But I will listen to your arrangements." "Master Xiong handles personnel matters quickly. The Ministry of War has agreed to set up a garrison in Wuhu. The local military attache will be recommended by Governor Yingtian. Zhang Guowei should give us people in the garrison here in Wuhu.
It's very important to me. Logically, it should be the third brother who goes to open the town.
But there is no one you can trust in Anqing. I think the third brother is helping to take care of Anqing, just because I have to wrong you for a while longer." "What did the second brother say? The villain was just a helper at first, and everything now is...
The second brother gives it to anyone who needs a villain. It's the same everywhere. As long as the second brother is successful all the way, I, the third brother, will naturally get better. After all, the second brother
That’s the fundamental thing.”
Pang Yu laughed twice, nodded to He Xianya and said, "Then please ask the third brother to stay in Anqing and help me take care of these belongings."
"Don't worry, second brother, I understand." Pang Yu looked at He Xianya again. Although he was literate and smart two years ago, he couldn't afford a job and could only work as a helper. If it weren't for his great skills, he would definitely still be there now.
I was following Jiao Guozhao for an errand to compare money and food.
Even if his head is smashed, if anyone says that he can be the Secretary of the Administrative Office, most of the yamen will laugh out loud.
But in fact, apart from being a bit perfunctory at the Times, He Xianya has done a good job in all positions. Even the current office is in a new look.
"Third brother, do you know how the old relationship in Tongcheng is going lately?" He Xianya hesitated for a moment. Many people from Tongcheng County government wanted to seek refuge with Pang Yu and found his way. Pang Yu's question seemed to have multiple meanings. It might be for
It is a disguised form of compensation, or it may be a warning.
Or both. He looked at Pang Yu's face and said, "Tang Weimin and Ruan Jin both came to Anqing, after the Susong victory. They had a desire to seek refuge with Xiaoren and wanted to find an opportunity to meet adults. Xiaoren
They were told to wait until the adults return to Tongcheng to see if there is any
idle."
Pang Yu hummed and said, "The so-called old friends mean that we all know them, so some people can be used, and some people can wait. Based on your understanding of Ruan Jin, what do you think he is suitable for?" He Xianya buried
He pondered for a moment and said, "Jiang Fan is in charge of the Secret Sentence Division, but it is all in Jiangnan, and there is no one in Anqing to take charge. I am afraid that this time you will have a lot of time to go to Huguang to suppress thieves. Anqing still needs someone to take charge of the Secret Sentence Division. Ruan Jin is right.
He is well-versed in the yamen and the market, so he seems to be able to find a position in the Anshou Division. This is just a humble opinion." Pang Yu smiled and said, "Since we have to take care of Anqing, we can't do without the Anshou Division. What you just said is quite appropriate, Ruan
Since Jin wants to take refuge, let him go to the Secret Post Office to work. He is familiar with the ground in Anqing. He will first become a hundred-level general.
Responsible for the Counterintelligence Bureau."
"I would like to express my gratitude to you, Ruan Jin, for your commendation."
He Xianya looked up at Pang Yu and saw that he had no intention of continuing and had already ignored Tang Weimin. He Xianya didn't know the reason and didn't dare to ask.
Pang Yu was still looking at the canal that turned into a small dot in the distance, "Has there been any change in Master Xiong's departure date?"
"It's still scheduled for the seventh day of the lunar month. The Guangdong soldiers are packing up and want to ask us for some horses. They say they want to practice cavalry. I think they just want animal power." "It would be a waste to give them good horses. A rogue horse can be used."
Give me some, after all, Mr. Xiong can still do things." Pang Yu took a breath of icy air, "We have traveled more than a thousand miles to Xiangyang. This is the first time the garrison battalion has been transferred out to fight. Our preparations
It also needs to be more adequate.”
"My subordinates inquired from two secret comrades that Lord Xiong has found a scholar. This person was once kidnapped into the Eight Bandits Camp and later released. Now, under Lord Xiong's order, he has gone to the Eight Bandits Camp to negotiate for recruitment.
"You are saying that he escaped from the Eight Thieves' Camp, but now he can still enter the Eight Thieves' Camp to talk about recruitment. This scholar must be different from other captives. I dare to say that he has regular contacts with the Eight Thieves."
, or even business dealings." Pang Yusi
He asked, "Go and find out the name of this scholar."
He Xianya hurriedly responded and said, "If it is really to be appeased, then if we come all the way, it will be in vain." "Even if we are in vain, marching thousands of miles will not be without gain. Don't spread this news to all the departments, we will still keep it as it is."
Prepare the plan." Pang Yu rubbed his chin, "The eight thieves owe Anqing a blood debt, and I will not let him succeed in recruiting Anqing.
Call the painting studio, military room, household room, and Chen Rulie to discuss matters in the second hall in the afternoon. The cavalry department should be ready to go first, and the personnel assigned to each room should also be ready to leave at any time." "That's the clerical team, saying that Wu Dacai has gone.
During the training exercise with the army, the evaluation of the suppression team came out in the past two days, and 70% of them failed. Wu Dacai came to petition to replace all these people. There was some confusion in the team, and the chief officer of the army's suppression of bandits had not yet been decided.
Originally, the clerical team had to send clerical officers to each house, workshop, and fort. Now there are only enough scribes in the company. There is a shortage of people everywhere. After the bandits are mobilized again, there will be no one left in Anqing. It needs to be done as soon as possible.
Arrange for someone to arrive
That’s the position.”
"Those who are unqualified should naturally be replaced. We would rather lack them than overuse them."
He Xianya said in a low voice, "Which officer of the clerical team will follow you to suppress the thieves?" After he asked, he waited quietly for the answer. Wu Dacai was like a monkey making trouble in heaven, Mr. Hou was like the Jade Emperor who maintained the old order, and the clerical team
There has been a lot of commotion recently. You can see the excitement in every room every day. Pang Yu is in the back office.
Although he also knew about it, he never intervened. With the beginning of the replacement, all affairs of the clerical team will be disrupted and restarted, and it is also at a critical moment of large-scale personnel changes. At this time, taking away a chief officer can make
The clerical team calmed down, and the chief officer accompanying the army could follow Pang Yu.
, this can be regarded as an advantage, but the people who stayed in Anqing controlled the personnel power. He Xianya could roughly guess Pang Yu's intentions, and did not dare to make rash suggestions for candidates. He only heard Pang Yu's voice saying, "Let Mr. Hou join the army.
, the clerical team was in Anqing to respond to matters, and Wu Dacai was in charge. Tell him to manpower them as soon as possible in the order of the army, government offices, workshops and forts. "
