After breakfast, Chen Xi took people out of the Governor's Office, but he did not go to the Huguang Metropolitan Commander Office first, but went straight to the Wuchang Zuowei Commander Office.

Two days ago, when Chen Xi arrived in Wuchang, Cui Ya, commander of the Wuchang Left Guard, went out to welcome him on behalf of the army.

Cui Ya had never talked to Chen Xi at the Jieguanting that day, because the civil servants in the Ming Dynasty ruled the country, and the military generals and military households were mostly hereditary and had a relatively low status.

Cui Ya didn't even dare to say a fart in front of a "vice governor" like Guo Shaoheng, let alone talk to an imperial envoy and a rank-in chief official like Chen Xi. In Cui Ya's opinion, civil officials should hold their own identities, especially top civil officials like Chen Xi who came from Hanyuan, who should be more obedient than the top.

As a result, when Chen Xi brought people to the door, Cui Ya realized that Chen Xi was easy to talk.

Cui Ya was not good at speaking, and after seeing Chen Xi, he couldn't wait to pour out the words others taught him: "...... The battles in Xuanda Town and the capital have made great contributions to maintaining the stability of the Ming Dynasty. He is a first-class hero. He admires his humble position very much..."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "This is a thing in the past. Now that I have arrived in Wuchang Prefecture, I am just an ordinary local governor. General Cui, can I take my official to the Huguang Commander and Commander Office if I have time?"

Cui Ya quickly saluted: "Sir!"

Regardless of whether Cui Ya has time or not, what Chen Xi wants him to do, even if he is on the woman's belly, he has to come down to do things immediately. Not to mention him, even the commander of the second-rank Huguang City Commander was treated like this. Now Chen Xi is their immediate boss.

The Huguang Commander and Inspectorate Office is in the city of Wuchang Prefecture, located in Fangang, northeast of the city.

When he arrived at the ground, Chen Xi found that the Dusi Yamen seemed to be disrepaired and seemed dilapidated. Because Chen Xi came in casual clothes and did not bring many followers, he encountered some trouble when entering the Dusi Yamen. Because this place does not usually receive guests, the main door is rarely opened, and if you have any trouble entering and leaving, you will go to the back door.

But Chen Xi is now here as the governor of Huguang, so he naturally cannot enter and exit through the back door. He can only stay at the main door, waiting for Cui Ya to detour the back door to spread the news. It took a lot of effort to enter from the main door openly.

...

...

In the main hall of the Huguang Dusi Yamen, the commander-in-chief Su Jingyang Yinghou.

Su Jingyang was wearing a military officer's uniform. The fabric was too washed and the surface was dull, and the sleeves and hem were even patched. Chen Xi didn't know whether Su Jingyang was deliberately pretending to be poor in front of him, or whether the local conditions were so difficult.

After meeting with each other, Su Jingyang asked Chen Xi to sit at the Taishi Chair in the center of the main hall, then picked up a stack of official documents from the table and sent them to Chen Xi:

"Mr. Shen, this is a military official letter from the local government in recent years. Please take a look!"

Chen Xi looked at the dust on the surface of these documents and knew that these things had been stored for some time... Even the official documents that the Dusi Office itself didn't care about were, if he, as the governor, really picked them up and checked them, it would seem like he was going to pick them up.

Chen Xi naturally didn't want to be this evil man. He leaned over and blew the dust on the surface, and did not take it over. Instead, he said: "Commander Su, just choose a few important things and say something. I came here today. It's just a routine matter and I have no intention of exploring it in depth!"

Su Jingyang was a little anxious: "Master Shen, you may not know that there are rebels in the southwest of Huguang. Xingdu Office recruited troops to suppress the rebellion. The local Xuanwei Office asked the Dushi Yamen to send troops to cooperate... But the last general dared not respond hastily. Now, Lord Shen, you are here, so it is natural to take what Lord Shen meant."

Chen Xi frowned and said, "General Su, what is this? Those who don't know think that the Ming Dynasty copper coins depreciate. If you buy something, you need to use a box to hold the money!"

Although Su Jingyang held the military power of a province and could show off his power in front of the people, he could only humble his temper when he saw a top civil servant like Chen Xi.

Others are giving gifts to Chen Xi, but he is afraid that he will neglect Shangguan, so he will naturally have to give it to him.

Su Jingyang said: "A little gift is not respectful!"

Chen Xi looked at the box. Compared with the gifts sent by the vassal officials and local gentry, it was indeed a "small gift" and looked heavy, but copper coins were the most bulky coins in this era. The value of a large box of copper coins was almost dozens to one hundred taels of silver.

Chen Xidao: "I have been leading troops for a long time. Even if I usually take some rewards and spoils, I will never accept the filial piety sent by the soldiers below. General Su took back this thing and concentrate on helping me in the future!"

Su Jingyang quickly saluted: "Mr. Shen said very well, and I will know it!"

Chen Xi came out of the main hall of the Dusi Yamen, and there were a group of people surrounded by the door, basically all of them military generals. It seemed that they were the commanders and commanders of the Dusi Yamen, the commanders and officials, the commanders, the officials, the officials, the officials, the officials, and the officials. There were also some civil servants.

When they saw Chen Xi coming out, these people looked curious, especially the civil servants in the Dusi Yamen. They were curious about how Chen Xi had a normal communication with Su Jingyang without going through "translation".

In the past, when local parents came, they would usually bring their own masters with them, or find officials in the Dusi Yamen who could understand Huguang accent as interpreters.
