It can be said that there is no shortage of generals under Yang Fan, but some capable civil servants are missing!
Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian were young and inexperienced, so they could not intimidate the younger generation. Therefore, Yang Fan planned to get Quan Wanji over.
Otherwise, Yang Fan would not have taken a special detour to Li Ke's fiefdom, let alone make the same joke with Quan Wanji.
Li Ke has always admired Yang Fan's ability to do things. Seeing that he was confident, he stopped talking and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law is so confident, I feel more at ease. If something happens in the future, just send someone a letter, and I will definitely do it."
Full support!”
Yang Fan was waiting for these words, and said with a smile: "His Highness is so kind and loving, I am so grateful that I can't wait to catch the sun. Don't tell me, I have something to ask for your Highness' help."
Seeing Yang Fan being so rude, Li Ke suddenly felt bad.
Although he will definitely try his best to help Yang Fan when he is in trouble, is it really good that Yang Fan is making requests before he even takes office?
Besides, even if Yang Fan found it difficult, Li Ke wouldn't be able to do it that easily.
However, the words had already been released, and Li Ke could only eat coptis in silence, and said with a wry smile: "Brother-in-law, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"
Seeing Li Ke's deflated appearance, Yang Fan finally felt better.
Every time he saw His Highness King Wu, his handsome face always made Yang Fan feel ashamed, and it was not a pleasant thing to make this kid uncomfortable.
However, Yang Fan still hurriedly said: "The situation in Jiangnan is complicated. When I first went there, it was difficult to open up the situation. There are very few people who will follow me to Jiangnan this time who can take up big posts. I just want to ask for someone from His Highness, please Your Highness."
Granted."
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Li Ke's eyelids twitched unconsciously, and he hesitated and said: "Brother-in-law, it's okay to say it!"
Having said that, Li Ke had an ominous premonition in his heart.
An ordinary person would never be so polite with Yang Fan's personality.
Soon, Li Ke's eyes unconsciously drifted to Quan Wanji, who was drinking.
Yang Fan, this brother-in-law, is so rude!
Quan Wanji is a long history appointed by the emperor. If Yang Fan wants to go there, what will happen to his fiefdom?
Although Quan Wanji doesn't know how to adapt to things, he has a bad temper and a tough temper.
To be honest, he is really good at rectifying official discipline and developing people's livelihood.
In any case, Quan Wanji's role cannot be underestimated for the fiefdom under his rule to be in its current situation.
When he returns to Beijing every year to report on his duties, he is able to stand out among the princes and has been praised by His Majesty Li Er many times. Quan Wanji is indispensable.
Originally, Li Ke was a capable, visionary, and ambitious person, and he cherished talents very much.
Now that Yang Fan actually wants to take Quan Wanji away from him, Li Ke is certainly not willing to do so.
Just when he was about to refuse, Yang Fan already said: "Your Highness is really generous. Quan Changshi has been in Jiangnan for many years and is familiar with the customs and customs of Jiangnan. I just want Quan Changshi to accompany me to Jiangnan for a walk. Once the situation is stable,
I will send Quan Zhangshi back immediately."
Hearing this, Li Ke suddenly felt bad!
Just as he guessed, Yang Fan just took a fancy to his talents.
But the words he just said had been released, and he didn't know how to refuse. Li Ke could only evade in a hesitant way: "Quan Changshi is the person appointed by the father. The king does not have the power to decide whether he will stay or go. Everything depends on the father."
The emperor has decided, this king..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Fan interrupted: "As long as His Highness agrees, His Majesty's ministers will ask for the report. No matter what the result is, I will thank Your Highness in advance!"
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen Yang Fan so shameless.
It's so hateful that Yang Fan pretends not to know even though he knows he doesn't want to let Quan Wanji go!
But Yang Fan has said so, what else can he do?
Li Ke, who was still looking happy at first, looked as if he was eating shit. He squeezed out a face that was uglier than crying and said: "If my father really agrees and Quan Changshi is willing to go, I will naturally not stop him.
"
Of course he knew that His Majesty Li Er had placed great trust in Yang Fan during his trip to the south of the Yangtze River.
You must know that the stability of Jiangnan is related to whether the Eastern Expedition can proceed smoothly in the future.
As long as the throne is not involved, Li Er will not refuse Yang Fan's request.
Not to mention that now Yang Fan just wants a long history. Although Quan Wanji is very capable, Li Er has absolutely no reason to refuse.
Now Li Ke just hopes that Quan Wanji can refuse.
If the parties involved don’t agree, there’s nothing Yang Fan can do!
It's a pity that Li Ke's eyes almost blinked with soreness, but Quan Wanji didn't react at all. Instead, he said excitedly: "The Governor likes me so much. I am really lucky. As long as I can use my place, I will definitely be a millionaire."
Never give up!"
Although Quan Wanji is upright and does not know how to be flexible in his work, it does not mean that he is stupid.
If you have been serving as the chief historian in the prince's fiefdom, you can be said to be a position that is lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people in the fiefdom.
But no matter how hard he works, almost all the credit belongs to the prince.
Even if the emperor praised him, he would only praise how smart and capable his son was, which had little to do with him as a long history man.
In the officialdom, no one wants to climb up, and no one wants to gain a good reputation.
Now that I am getting older, if I don’t work hard, I may have to do this for the rest of my life.
Yang Fan gave him such an opportunity, and of course Quan Wanji would not refuse.
Although the trip to Jiangnan is difficult and full of difficulties, risks and opportunities coexist.
Once Jiangnan is brought under the control of the imperial court, it will definitely be a great achievement, and both reputation and achievements will definitely be greatly improved.
That's why Quan Wanji turned a blind eye to Li Ke's hint.
Seeing this, Li Ke no longer had the interest to drink, and went back to the backyard to study the game of making little people.
Perhaps, the happiest person is Yang Fan!
As soon as he left Chang'an, he gained a powerful general, and now Quan Wanji is about to become his own meat. This trip is really worth it!
Early the next morning, Yang Fan said goodbye to Li Ke, and the fleet was divided into two.
One team escorted Concubine Yang straight to Suzhou, led by Yang Fan himself; the other team took the engine exchanged by Yang Fan to the shipyard in Quanzhou.
On the pier, Li Ke said sadly: "Mother and concubine, without my father's imperial order, my son cannot easily leave the fiefdom and cannot accompany my mother and concubine to Suzhou. Please forgive me for being unfilial!"
"The road to Suzhou is high and far away, so you must pay attention to your safety. However, I have my brother-in-law to protect me, so I feel more at ease!"
Looking at Concubine Yang who was bidding farewell to Li Ke, Yang Fan said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Wei Chen will serve the imperial concubine comfortably. If there is any harm, Wei Chen will raise his head to see you."
Hearing what Yang Fanruo had pointed out, Concubine Yang blushed, and even the sadness of parting faded away a lot.
This trip to Jiangnan was originally for a tryst with my lover, and paying homage to my late father was just a pretense.
Now that Yang Fan was blatantly teasing her in front of her own son, Concubine Yang was of course as worried as a cat scratching her head, fearing that others would notice the clues.
He could only glare at Yang Fan secretly and scold Yang Fan for talking nonsense.
Li Ke was used to farewells, so he stopped talking and said with his fists in his arms: "We will see you a thousand miles away, but we must say goodbye eventually. The safety of my mother and concubine depends entirely on my brother-in-law. Please take care of me!"
"Your Highness, take care of it!"
Yang Fan stopped laughing, held his hands in front of him as a gift, and helped Concubine Yang get on the warship.
The ship slowly sailed away from the shore, and Yang Fan stood on the bow until the figures of Li Ke and his party on the shore gradually blurred, and then he turned and entered the cabin.
The beauty is like water, the heart of spring is rippling, and as the boat floats, a melodious song is faintly heard.
The river was miserable and the anchor was dangling. I followed the river all the way, which diluted the sorrow of parting.
The mountain wind is fierce, the river is clear, birds are flying in the sky, and fish are flying under the water. The warship equipped with an engine is full of power. The steel bow plows through the green river water, and white water splashes on the sides of the ship.
The ship rides the wind and waves and heads towards its destination like an arrow leaving the string.
Yang Fan hugged the beauty and leaned on the renovated ship building, feeling particularly comfortable.
Looking at the vast river surface, Yang Fan was filled with emotions. The river water more than a thousand years ago was so clear!
No wonder Bai Juyi could write such wonderful poems as "The center of the water is like a mirror, and there is no trace of it for thousands of miles. The river that goes straight down is the widest, and the tower near the east is taller."
Later generations may think this is an exaggerated description, but when you can really look at the Yangtze River more than a thousand years ago, you will know what it means to be spectacular and beautiful!
With the addition of Quan Wanji, the guide for this trip became this old man with a bad temper and a tough temper.
Not to mention, Quan Wanji is very knowledgeable and will give detailed explanations of every scenic spot he visits.
Since Yang Fan is at the top and everyone else is below, if Yang Fan sees a good attraction, someone will send a message to Quan Wanji for an explanation.
This also better covers the relationship between Yang Fan and Yang Fei.
"In front of you is Guozhou, which is famous for its large and turbulent water flow."
Yang Fan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw a wide river. The river had become narrower and the water flow had become turbulent.
Led by Yang Fan's warship, the fleet moved closer to the middle river, and they saw a cliff rising into the clouds on the river, with continuous peaks and majestic momentum.
The rocks on the riverside are swirling and echoing, and the mountains and trees stand tall, with strange shapes and magnificent beauty.
Yang Fan walked out of the cabin and came to the bow of the ship, and heard Cheng Mingzhen sigh: "This is the world-famous Guozhou. It has cliffs in the sky, a stronghold on the river, fast currents, and dangerous terrain. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
"
Yang Fan looked down and was shocked that Cheng Mingzhen had such knowledge.
According to "Shui Jing Zhu" records: "The river flows out of the gorge, flows southeast, and reaches Jinggu City Island. The island is attached to the north bank, and the head of the island is called Guozhou. It is two miles long and one mile wide. There is a step to explain the ancient city above, and the radius is called the island.
The week is a little full."
The sounds of "Guo" and "Ge" are similar, so it was called "Gezhouba" in later generations.
Gezhouba Power Station has become the largest power station in Huaxia in recent decades. This is a treasure land.
Cheng Mingzhen could see the value of this place, and it was indeed well-deserved.
I originally thought that this guy was a tough guy and just a strong general, but it seems that he judged people by their appearance!
Looking at Cheng Mingting's strong figure, which is not inferior to Xi Junmai's, I thought he was just a strong man with strong muscles and brains, but I completely forgot that he was a scholar.
Cheng Mingzhen felt a little guilty when he saw Yang Fan's surprised eyes.
He simply wanted to show off and attract Yang Fan's attention.
Could it be that this Mr. Bangchui was dissatisfied?
Yang Fan turned his head, looked at this ancient historical site, and said in his heart: "What you don't know is that more than 1,000 years later, later generations built a hydropower station here to provide a steady stream of electricity for the construction of New China. It can be said that
It is an extremely important strategic resource!”
Under the command of the guide, the fleet bypassed the rapid river water and merged into the waterway on one side.
Guozhou is surrounded by waterways. It was also an ancient battlefield where warriors and horses fought to the death. However, with the unification of the world, it has now been abandoned.
On both sides are mountains and rivers rising from the plains. The trees in the mountains are green and beautiful.
There are low-lying areas near the river in the northwest, the ridges in the north are steep, and the southern foothills are lush with trees and pavilions, which must have been a gathering place for celebrities.
"The water here is too strong and many boats have had accidents. Please be careful."
Seeing Yang Fan's interest, Quan Wanji quickly reminded him.
Yang Fan raised his head and looked at the surrounding mountains, then at Guozhou Dam behind him, and asked: "Is this place within the fiefdom of His Highness King Wu?"
"It is under the rule of His Highness King Wu."
Yang Fan waved his hand and ordered: "I will write a letter to King Wu immediately, asking him to place this area under the jurisdiction of the Maritime Yamen, and Junyangfang will be responsible for paying for the construction of a power station for use."
Just kidding, this was the largest power station in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Is there anything more stupid than leaving such a strategically located place unused?
As a long history officer, Quan Wanji naturally knew that his family Yang Fan had a close relationship with His Highness the King of Wu. With just one word from Yang Fan, it would be easy to conquer a barren land.
What's more, this is not Yang Fan's request, but it is placed under the name of "Maritime Yamen Jurisdiction".
By the way, the whole world knows that Yang Fan is in the heart of the emperor, not to mention that Yang Fan only wants a useless river dam?
Although they don't know what a power station is, no one dares to question Yang Fan's words.
For the rest of the trip, everyone was no longer interested in starting, and one or two of them became very sick.
There was no other way, Yang Fan could only find a pier to dock.
As soon as Yang Fan spoke, the crew members disembarked one after another.
Both Yang Fan's guards and the concubines of various major families were organized by Yang Fan according to the military organization of later generations. Ten people were in a column, five columns were in a team, two teams were in a company, and company commanders, battalions, and regiments were respectively set up...
On this trip to Jiangnan, Yang Fan personally led a convoy of more than 1,500 people.
In addition to a part that went to Quanzhou to escort the engine, the rest of the guards and an entourage composed of concubines from major families followed Yang Fan.
When Yang Fan's leading boat gradually slowed down and stopped, a group of entourage behind him scrambled to get off the boat, which made Yang Fan's head hurt.
I thought to myself, when I wait for Huating Town, I will train these dandies to death.
These people are all the most difficult to deal with in the major families. If they are trained to death, they will become good helpers.
These bastards from aristocratic families had no idea that their end was coming, and they lay staggering on the ground as soon as they got off the boat.
It's not that these people are of low quality and don't understand etiquette. Most of them are children of aristocratic families, and all kinds of etiquette are taught by experts.
It's just that most of these people have never been on a boat. They have been on a boat for more than ten days. The journey is more than a thousand miles?
It’s really hard for these dandy boys to persist until now.
Even among Yang Fan's guards, many of them were unable to eat due to seasickness and had long since vomited. It was only because of their strong self-discipline that they remained silent!
