Even though the person who told this was Xie Qian, Chen Xi still couldn't believe it, because if he had absent from the six ministers of Nanjing, it would destroy the interests of the civil servant group.

Xie Qian was very dissatisfied with this. His original plan was to send Chen Xi to the Hanlin Academy or Zhan Shi Mansion. Although the result is in the interests of Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia, it is not satisfactory for Xie Qian.

Chen Xi saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Master Ge, for your promotion, and the students remember it in their hearts!"

In fact, this can only be regarded as a courteous thank you at best!

You should know that although the six ministries in Nanjing are the same as those in Beijing, they are mainly responsible for related affairs in the Nanjing area and nearby provinces, but they are not the one who has the final say and have many constraints. Among them, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue have relatively greater power, while the others are almost all left-handed or elderly care.

The six departments of the Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty, the four departments of the Ministry of Liberty, Liberty, Military and Engineering, all had four Qing officials. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice were divided into the Thirteen Qing officials according to the General Administration. Since Zhili did not have provincial-level official offices, related matters were assigned to other departments for management.

The Nanjing Ministry of Revenue is responsible for collecting taxes and grains from Nanzhili and Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Huguang provinces, and is also responsible for the transportation of grain and the national salt induction and investigation. The Nanjing Ministry of War is responsible for the garrison of the Nanjing area, and the garrisons in the Nanjing area are basically under the command of the Secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of War.

Therefore, compared with the Beijing Ministry of War, the Secretary of the Nanjing side has more power. As the Minister of War, he just did a miscellaneous work.

Besides, Jiangnan has been in peace for a long time, so what are the areas where troops need to be dispatched?

At most, he is responsible for coordinating and calculating local soldiers, horses, food and wages, etc. At the beginning, he is also in charge of his superiors, and there is no stage to show his ambitions at all!

But in the officialdom, Chen Xi did not dare to ask too much. He said goodbye to Xie Qian, and he couldn't help but think about it on the way back... In fact, it's nothing wrong with being able to be a minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing for a few years. Although this is a waste of time, it is better to live a stable life. After a period of experience, he can safely spend the transition period between the Hongzhi Dynasty and the Zhengde Dynasty. When he is in his twenties or even thirty years old, he will not encounter huge resistance at that time.

After returning, Chen Xi told Xie Yuner about this, and Xie Yuner was extremely happy.

Xie Yuner said happily: "How many years have you been an official in your office? This will make you a dignified minister of the Ministry of War. In the future, you will be no problem in taking charge of the six ministries and even entering the cabinet!"

Chen Xidao: "A minister of the Ministry of War, what makes you so happy?"

Xie Yuner said: "My husband, the capital is a place of right and wrong. If you stay here, you will inevitably be suppressed by your boss and envied by your colleagues. It is better to go to Jinling to be a minister of the Ministry of War with no real power. In this way, you don't have to get up early and go to bed late every day, you don't have to sleep in the open and lead the troops to combat the bandits, and you don't have to worry about the dark wind and hidden arrows from the court!"

"In this way, I and my family don't need to stay in the capital. I can easily accompany my husband to Nanjing. In the future, our family will be reunited and our lives will be stable and happy..."

Xie Yuner began to look forward to a better life for a moment!

Her husband has become the third-rank assistant minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War. With his good reputation in recent years, the family can live a peaceful life in Nanjing City happily without big waves and a harmonious life. Then she can have more children. If she thinks about such a small life, she will feel sweet.

After hearing what Xie Yuner said, Chen Xi suddenly felt that this kind of life was very comfortable and comfortable. But for some reason, he always felt that this idea was unrealistic. People in the court should not let him enjoy his happiness safely unless God opened his eyes.

...

...

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, one day before Liu Daxia returned to Beijing, the welcoming ceremony was solemnly preparing for the heavenly court.

This has nothing to do with Chen Xi. In the past few days, his focus is on handling matters in Fujian and Guangdong based on letters from Guangzhou Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture.

Hui Niang and Song Xiaocheng stayed in Fujian and Guangdong to manage their business for him. Chen Xi hadn't seen Hui Niang for a long time, and he was extremely concerned in his heart.

Hui Niang did not write a letter to Chen Xi in person, mainly because she was afraid that the handwriting would be recognized by someone who was interested, which would be detrimental to her family. The writer was Li Jin, a good sister who relied on with her.

Although Chen Xi left Fujian and Guangdong, his remaining power was still there, especially his current position in the court, and the local government did not dare to shake the business he protected.

In the past, Huiniang had a sign of a genius doctor when she was doing business, but she had no official protection and was walking on thin ice in the mall, and ended up with a bleak end of "destroying family and losing their family".

Now Hui Niang has Chen Xi as her backer and does not make any progress in doing business. Especially when she is familiar with the commercial system in Fujian and Guangdong, many civil forces like the original Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce were absorbed by her.

Hui Niang went from being a strong woman who showed up in public to a practical person who manipulated the business community in Fujian and Guangdong, and she was invisibly much less likely to be careless.

Now, Hui Niang is devoted to taking care of the children. After all, she gave birth to children for Chen Xi, hoping that her son will be recognized by Chen Xi in the future and gain the inheritance rights of the Shen family.

The mountains and rivers are far away, and the letters are sent from Fujian and Guangdong to the capital. The news has been severely lagging behind. Now Chen Xi knows about it basically happens four or five months ago, which invisibly increases his concerns.

Chen Xi cannot tell others about these things in his heart.

Lu Sun is already dead, which is an "fact" that cannot be changed. Even if he wants to recognize Hui Niang's status, he will probably have to wait for more than ten years or even decades.

Perhaps it was not Chen Xi who could win the opportunity for Hui Niang to be the child of the child. With her understanding of education, she would inevitably let her son study and take the imperial examinations and make her son stand out.

"...Master, what do you have to explain to the villain this time?"

In order to solve the situation of lack of human resources at hand, Chen Xi thought it was very necessary to send people to assist him. Now there are not many people he can believe in, and he is planning to transfer Ma Jiu to Fujian and Guangdong to help Hui Niang solve her problems.

Chen Xidao: "It's going to be the New Year, so I'll leave after the New Year. After you arrive at the local area, you will be mainly responsible for the affairs of Guangdong, especially Guangzhou Prefecture. Jing Yue and others are now in Guangzhou Prefecture. With their help, it's relatively easier for you to do things in the local area. As for what you do, there will be someone to contact you, and you just follow the instructions... Now I don't know what the situation is there, so I can't explain to you in advance."

"Brother Jiu, I'll leave it to you for the time being. If you feel that you are alone on the road, you can let Sister Xiaoyu accompany you. As for the child, you will stay in the Shen family for the time being... First, the child is too young and cannot stand the trouble, and second, I'll ask for a gentleman at home, so I can get up early!"

Ma Jiu was frightened and frightened: "Master, what are you saying? The villain and the villain can do things for the Shen family, which is a blessing for our couple. The young lady is about to give birth, and now the family is short of staff. Xiaoyu is a good person to take care of people. How can she leave at this critical moment?"

Chen Xi suddenly felt very lucky to meet Song Xiaocheng and Ma Jiu in Tingzhou. There is an old saying that goes, **************** Song Xiaocheng, Ma Jiu and others don’t have much knowledge, but they are loyal and righteous. If you make friends with them, they can deliver their lives to you!

Chen Xi said: "Brother Jiu, go back and discuss with Sister Xiaoyu. Now there are a few girls in the mansion, and Sister Xiaoyu may not have to work so hard. Brother Jiu, I will give you a promise now. If I start a government office in the future, I will definitely keep you by my side and earn you an official hat and put it on!"

Ma Jiu had achieved military achievements when he was fighting bandits in Fujian and Guangdong, so Chen Xi turned him into a military household and left him to stay in the Ministry of War.

Unfortunately, after Chen Xi led his troops to the war, Ma Jiu was left unattended. Although Xie Qian promoted Ma Jiu as an officer during the Battle of the Capital, he asked Ma Jiu to wait for the absence of the Governor's Office of the Five Army as a small flag, and later he followed the prince to work, he was still a reserve officer.

Even if Ma Jiu is really short of being a military general, his social status is still very low. Chen Xi planned to turn around and become a civil servant for Ma Jiu. The official rank does not need to be too high, and he is from the eighth or the ninth rank. In this way, Ma Jiu's social status is very different from now, and he can help around him at any time in the future.
