- If it is said that in the coldest twelfth lunar month of winter, it is dry and cold most of the time in the capital, the winter in the Jiangnan Water Town is wet and cold.
In the house, if you don¡¯t burn charcoal to drive away the dampness and cold, a northerner will basically not be able to sleep.
On the first day when Miao Yan arrived, he thought that in the winter in Jiangnan, he slept under a wet quilt.
But for Mr. Miao, there is no such thing as difficult accommodation conditions.
Not to mention that in the entire city of Huai'an, the governor's office for water transportation has the best conditions, and no other place is as good as here.
Regarding food and drink, because of Miao Yan's arrival, the prefect of Huai'an specially prepared a chef for him specializing in cooking Beijing dishes on the emperor's order, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Miao Yan cares most about his job.
As a newly appointed governor of water transportation, Miao Yan has never been exposed to matters related to water transportation before. How to convince the public as quickly as possible and how to take control of the water transportation yamen as quickly as possible are the most urgent things for Miao Yan.
¡°After all, the emperor and the court sent him here just to bring order to the chaos, to put water transportation on the right track, and not to delay next year¡¯s heavy water transportation tasks.
Having served in the Imperial Palace for many years, Miao Yan has seen all three sects and nine sects, so he naturally has his own way of doing things.
He stayed in Huai'an City for three days. After understanding the situation, he followed the Jiangnan River, the first section of the water transport, all the way to Huzhou.
Miao Yan is surrounded by the four chief arresters he brought from the capital, plus a hundred thousand cattle guards who were given by the emperor to protect him.
When the fleet arrived in Huzhou, the prefect of Huzhou heard the news and came with all the officials to greet him.
This is not against the rules.
In addition to being the Governor of Water Transport, Miao Yan was also the "Minister of Investigation and Imperial Envoy". This position was very powerful. In a sense, he could directly govern all affairs in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the Shanhaiguan Great Wall defense line.
Therefore, it is normal for Tang Wenzhu, the prefect of Huzhou, to come to greet him in person.
"Xiaoguan, please see the Imperial Envoy!" Tang Wen Zhuyuan, who was in his forties, had a smile on his face. "Xiaoguan has prepared a reception banquet at Xiaguan's official residence. I would also like to ask the Imperial Envoy to show your respect and take a rest."
"good!"
After getting off the boat, Miao Yan seemed to be in a good mood, "I have been walking along the way and found that Jiangnan is indeed a land of outstanding people. Huzhou is also quite good! No wonder there is such a great talent as Prime Minister Cao!"
Tang Wenzhu observed the words and said with a smile: "Yes, Prime Minister Cao is the pride of our Huzhou Sir, please, I would like to introduce you to our fellow villagers and celebrities in Huzhou. This old gentleman is the late emperor. Mr. Chen Zhenxuan, who served as the Minister of Civil Affairs during that periodthis is"
He introduced them in a circle, and Miao Yan smiled and saluted them one by one, but they didn't have the legendary Miao Heizi's demeanor at all.
This made Tang Wenzhu feel relieved, thinking that Miao Yan was really just passing through Huzhou.
After all, that¡¯s what he said on the carrier pigeon he sent two days in advance.
While we were chatting here, another fleet of boats came on the river.
These ships are small in size and have pointed bows, making them easy to navigate in the water towns south of the Yangtze River.
Looking at the flags hanging above, in addition to the logos of the court officials, there are two other flags.
Lei Sheng, who had good eyesight, took a step forward and said to Miao Yan, "Sir, this is the ship of the Minister of Salt Affairs."
Miao Yan was walking to the carriage next to him with Tang Wenzhu and others. Hearing this, he stopped and turned around to look over.
Sure enough, as soon as the ship got closer, a middle-aged man wearing the official uniform of a second-grade officer stood at the bow.
After a while, he got off the boat and walked quickly towards Miao Yan.
"It is indeed Mr. Bai!"
Tang Wenzhu quickly apologized to Miao Yan and went forward to greet him with a salute.
The two of them only exchanged a few words before Salt Minister Bai Hengwang strode up to Miao Yan.
Bai Hengwang smiled and bowed with his hands together: "Minister of Salt Affairs Bai Hengwang has met the Imperial Envoy Minister Miao!"
Bai Hengwang's salute was even more respectful than that of Tang Wenzhu just now, which made Tang Wenzhu who was following him a little confused.
Miao Yanxu helped Bai Heng and looked at him, then said: "Master Bai, please get up."
"Thank you, sir!"
When Bai Hengwang stood up, he still had a slightly respectful smile on his face, "I knew the imperial envoy had arrived a few days ago, but I didn't expect that we would meet here in Huzhou."
Miao Yan asked curiously: "So, Lord Bai came here on purpose?"
&nThe emperor did not want to expand the matter without limit, so Caoyun Yamen and Bai Hengwang escaped.
Because of this, Liu Mingqi told Miao Yan that Yanzheng Yamen should be responsible for the funds of five million taels of silver. After Miao Yan informed Emperor Jinghe, Emperor Jinghe readily agreed.
??Honestly.
When he heard the news that the imperial edict was in effect, Bai Hengwang breathed a sigh of relief.
Why?
Since you are asking me for money, prove that you won¡¯t touch me!
When he showed the copied imperial edict to his subordinates and major salt merchants, he also quickly stabilized people's hearts.
It¡¯s not just Bai Hengwang who is afraid, everyone is afraid!
¡°Look at the Caoyun Yamen, the headquarters and branches with tens of thousands of people, how many people are left now?
The people imprisoned in yamen in various places are the same bosses who used to be arrogant and domineering!
Thinking about their fate, and then thinking about ourselves, these people in the salt industry are also too scared to sleep.
Like Bai Hengwang, they were also overjoyed when they saw this imperial edict, fortunate to have escaped disaster.
Therefore, the total amount of five million taels of silver was collected in just ten days, instead of being collected yesterday as Bai Hengwang said.
The reason why he said this was that Bai Hengwang wanted to give Miao Yan a good impression and prove that he had worked hard and wisely to complete the task.
Therefore, he, who had known about Miao Yan¡¯s itinerary for a long time, followed behind him and only ¡°met¡± him all the way to Huzhou.
¡¡
The two of them headed towards the carriage slowly.
They are all high-ranking officials from the second rank. Miao Yan also holds the title of Imperial Envoy, so Bai Hengwang is slightly behind by half a rank.
Sun Rui, who had finished counting here, rushed over and said a few words in Miao Yan's ear, causing a smile to appear on Miao Yan's face.
Miao Yan turned to Bai Hengwang and said, "Sir Bai, I just came here, and you have given me such great support. I am really grateful."
Bai Hengwang smiled and said: "This is also my duty. We all work for the emperor, so naturally we should be diligent and conscientious and not afraid of difficulties."
"Okay! Well said! Hahahaha"
Miao Yan clapped his hands and said, "Come on, Mr. Bai, please get in the car. Let's go do something beautiful together!"
Bai Heng hopes to be able to secure his position as Salt Minister, not only because he is the emperor's potential minister, but also because he is versatile and handles things properly.
Hearing Miao Yan's words, his heart suddenly "thumped".
its not right!
Miao Heizi is not such a cheerful person at all, why is he suddenly smiling so weirdly now?
Doing something nice and big?
¡°Could it be said that he discovered that Huzhou officials had committed some serious mistakes and came here specifically to investigate and punish them?
Hmm it should be like this!
Before Bai Hengwang got into the car, he subconsciously looked at the Qianniu Guards following him, then at his own guards, and felt relieved.
Don¡¯t be afraid!
They don¡¯t dare to resist!
