Chapter 1331: Get what you want

Guo Shaoheng thought to himself, his face was gloomy for a moment.

Chen Xi didn't think much about it. The reason why he asked for local accounts was not to check the accounts, but just wanted to tell Guo Shaoheng, don't think I'm very leisurely now, I can find something to do by myself, please don't come here every day to bother me.

In the past, Chen Xi was worried about what the people below thought, but this time when he went to Huguang, the local governments along the way were entertained warmly, and they would give gifts in a different way every time he went to a place, which was so exhausted. Especially whenever he did something, he would be guessed by the people below, just like he was plotting against local officials and gentry, which was extremely ridiculous.

Guo Shaoheng said: "Don't worry, Lord Shen, please come back and ask someone to send the account book to you. Will you arrange personnel... and take a look at the warehouses in various places?"

"Carriage?"

Chen Xi thought for a moment and immediately realized that Guo Shaoheng thought he wanted to check the accounts and check the warehouse. He shrugged, "No need, I don't have so much time to wander around, just ask someone to send the account book!"

Just a simple sentence, which caused Guo Shaoheng to contempt. The representative of the governor's office became more and more uneasy and said in his heart:

"Mr. Shen is trying to say that he should give the warehouse below some time to make up for the deficit? In this way, he just gave Mr. Shen some benefits and could not hide the matter. He should quickly find someone to discuss..."

Guo Shaoheng was very careful about Chen Xi's words and deeds and thought carefully. Therefore, Chen Xi found that Guo Shaoheng's preface was inconsistent with his words and looked dull. He probably guessed that the other party was thinking about it again, and said:

"Okay, I will accept the good intentions of the vassal yamen for the time being. Please tell the local gentry after Guo Guanzheng returned, don't send anything to him. I am here to do his job for His Majesty. If you can avoid those polite and complicated gifts!"

Seeing that Chen Xi was a little impatient, Guo Shaoheng thought that the Governor was not satisfied with his arrangement, but he had to say some things and could only tell a long story short, but he seemed to hesitate because of his nervousness:

"Shen... Lord Shen, don't rush to rest first. There is another thing... It's like this... Yesterday, the vassal yamen held a banquet at the Yellow Crane Tower to welcome the adults, but the adults said that they had to go back to rest for a few days. The officials and gentry could understand, but today... why should you attend the reception banquet? This is the little intention of the local officials and gentry, you see..."

Chen Xi looked at Guo Shaoheng and asked, "If I don't agree, are you going to bother me every day?"

Guo Shaoheng's face was red and white, and he explained awkwardly: "Mr. Shen was joking. Whether to go or not depends on the adult's mood. The decision lies with the adults. How can the subordinates talk casually?"

Chen Xi raised his face and said, "Okay, since it is difficult to refuse the kindness, I will go there. But now I have not had a good rest. Let's talk about it after I slept in the afternoon!"

Guo Shaoheng was so sad that he couldn't say anything about eating Coptis chinensis, but he had no choice but to deal with Chen Xi.

The new governor was very imposing, as if he had been able to take over the local government and gentry. Guo Shaoheng felt more and more that he might not be able to hold on to the arrival of the new Left Governor Ma Tianlu.

In Guo Shaoheng's eyes, only an old-fashioned official like Ma Tianlu was united with him, but he didn't know that Chen Xi did not have the intention to kill chickens and scare monkeys at all. He was just not interested in the relationship between human relationships.

Chen Xi did not want to attend a local banquet, but since the officials and gentry of Wuchang Prefecture were so afraid of him and tried their best to curry favor with him, if he kept not showing up, others might misunderstand him and then develop bad intentions, which would be detrimental to his next step of work.

In the next step, Chen Xi planned to take his family to Huguang as soon as possible and be the governor of his two provinces with peace of mind.

As long as there is no major turmoil in Huguang and Jianggan, even if the ethnic minorities in the south are a little quarrel, he will never lead troops to conquer. In Shen Xi's view, it is better to slowly integrate ethnic issues by relying on the policy of mercy. Only bandits need to be cleared out, and ethnic conflicts need to be tolerated and resolved with each other.

Chenxi doesn’t believe that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and local ethnic minorities will have good harvests every year without worrying about food and clothing, and will even get up and cause chaos.

Yunliu asked again: "Sir, how can Xier be placed?"

Chen Xi then opened his eyes, looked at Xier, and said, "Look for a room in the backyard for the time being, so that she can live in the fortunately. In a few days, you can find a house in the city, so don't be too far from the Governor's Office. It will be more convenient for me to find you in the future!"

Xier didn't understand what Chen Xi said meant to her.

Yunliu heard the profound meaning. Now Shen Xi completely recognized their sisters. Since Xier was allowed to stay and she is Chen Xi's woman now, she naturally knew how to make Xier get what she wants after nightfall.
