When acquaintances meet, they can’t finish talking about the past for a night.

Chen Xi was very pleased when he saw Wang He because this general was the first group of talents to come out with him, and even made achievements, becoming a prince in charge of the army of a province.

However, after entering the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the status of civil officials and military generals was already clearly divided. Even though Wang He had a prominent position in the army, in terms of status, perhaps he was not as good as a fourth-rank prefect, and at most he could only show off his power among middle and lower-level officials or among the gentry and people.

Chen Xi asked Wang He to sit down and asked with a smile: "General Wang has been together for many years, don't you know how good your health is?"

Wang He quickly said, "Thank you to the love of the Lord, over the past few years, the last one will be free from disasters and illness, and will be healthy. He has always wanted to keep this useful body loyal to the court and serve the Lord, but he has never gotten the chance. When you see the Lord today, what will happen? The last one will definitely go through fire and water, and I will never refuse!"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "I am not a matter of military service when I arrived in Jianggan. I only need to come to Jianggan from time to time to visit, which is a routine matter. When I arrive in Nanchang Prefecture, if I don't see you, General Wang, I will feel resentful. General Wang, I will entrust you to be safe in the future!"

Wang He stood up and saluted respectfully: "What did you say? Don't say that you are the governor of Jianggan. Even if you are just on your way to take office, the general of the Imperial Palace will definitely send someone to escort the whole process. You have the kindness of recreation to the Imperial Palace, even if you die, you will be able to repay them..."

Wang He has been in the officialdom for a long time, especially now that he is in a high position, so he naturally has a regular official accent. However, this can only be said that those who are close to the red and those who are close to the ink are black. The world is like this, and he will not flatter and cannot eat anywhere he goes. Over time, those who do not know how to socialize in the officialdom must also learn to socialize.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "Now, flattery is also a technique!"

Because before Shen Xi set out, someone threatened to perform assassination, which was probably because Chen Xi damaged the interests of local officials and gentry. Wang He, the highest military and political chief of the province, contributed his efforts, Chen Xi asked himself that he was much safer during his stay in Jianggan.

Chen Xi was still talking about security with Wang He. Shen Yongqi came in and said, "Sir, the General Secretary sent someone to come and invite you to go to the vassal yamen to speak!"

Wang He was furious when he heard this: "What's going on in the vassal yamen? You don't understand the rules too much! Lord Shen is a second-rank governor of two provinces. It should be the vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal

With Chen Xi's support, Wang He spoke much more toughly.

Chen Xi smiled and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, each province has its own actual situation, and I will not force it... Since the people from the General Administration and the Commission do not want to come, I will not force it. Tell the person to come, I will be tired from the journey and have no time to see them. I will come to visit after I rest!"

Shen Yongqi followed Chen Xi for a while and learned almost all the basic Mandarin. He used it to deal with people and probably knew what to say.

Wang He watched Shen Yongqi leave and said to Chen Xi: "Sir, just stay in the governor's yamen. The vassal and the vassal will definitely send someone to contact us, and even give me a generous gift!"

Chen Xi said earnestly: "General Wang, I don't need to remind you specifically that I will go to the local area to perform my duties and don't want to accept food, drink and invite you. I just want to be an official at peace and leisurely every day. I think this governor has only been a few years since I was transferred to another place, and others may poke the backbone behind me. Once I open the gap, do you say I will be criticized for the rest of my life and my reputation will be ruined?"

Wang He knew that Chen Xi was young and valued his reputation and future more. He saluted respectfully: "Sir, right!"

Chen Xi said again: "You can avoid the gift-giving set. We are old friends. I can remember your feelings. In the future, I will be an official in the court. I will ask General Wang to help me with things... I am not at ease with others. There were rumors that someone in Jianggan wanted to take action to murder, and many people advised me not to come, but when I think of General Wang, I will be fearless."

Wang He was so grateful that he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will swear to protect the safety of sir!"

...

...

With Wang He providing security, Chen Xi can indeed rest assured.

Wang He sent 500 elite troops into the city that day, garrisoning inside and outside the governor's yamen. The personal guards led by Shen Xi were still in charge of the main gate.

In this way, the yamen runners and entourages brought by Chen Xi must be investigated.

Although the house of the Governor's Office has been repaired, it is inevitable that people, snakes, insects, rats and ants will not be left behind for a long time. Chenxi asked someone to clean up the rat hole, and they should snatch it or simply block it to avoid disturbing people's dreams. In this way, the Governor's Office is noisy all night, and Chenxi himself reads books in the bedroom until late at night, and after falling asleep, he sleeps until dawn, and is not affected.

Early the next morning, without any accidents, there were long queues of people who were giving gifts outside the governor's yamen.

Yesterday, Chen Xi entered the city in a hurry, and many Jianggan families only heard about it after Shen Xi entered the city. Although many of them secretly wondered how to pull Chen Xi off and prevent him from coming to Jiangxi to reform the franchise system, the new governor suddenly came to his doorstep, and the commander-in-chief Wang Heyan followed the plan, and these people were immediately panicked.

These people were afraid, and heard that Chen Xi was not killed in Huguang. Even though they knew that some families were related to the two vassal states, Chen Xi still chose to make big things smaller and let them pay the money to make things happen, which means that the matter was not out of control. Furthermore, they thought about how many gifts to Chen Xi were appropriate so that they could "show mercy" from them.

Chen Xi finished washing and before she could leave the yard, several people wearing big red official robes were waiting in the lobby of the yamen. Shen Yongqi came over and said, "Sir, they have been here since the morning, so I can't stop it!"

Chen Xi quietly came to the back of the lobby and glanced through the curtain. None of them knew each other. Moreover, none of these officials had the tonic on their chests, including the patterns of pheasants, peacocks, cloud geese, etc., which showed that they were all miscellaneous officials under the fifth rank, most of whom were small officials in the yamen of the governor and the Censorate, and perhaps even the subordinates of the local prefect.

When Chen Xi saw these people, he felt angry. Since the governor, the political participation, the senator, the prefect and other officials did not give face and came to visit him on his own initiative, why should I give you face and greet you?

Chen Xi returned to the yard and ordered Shen Yongqi: "Fifth Brother, now I will give you a task. If you go and send them away, I will say that I am unwell and prepare to take a few days off and let them go back to their homes!"

Shen Yongqi was a little timid: "Sir, they are officials. Can you tell me to drive people away?

"Why can't it work? At worst, I can bring two clerks to help you. Brother Fifth, it's time to train you. Now that Wenzhao is not here, you have to bravely take on the burden."

"After you pass by, no matter what they say, you will talk to them according to your own ideas... As long as you remember a little in your heart, you don't have to be afraid of these people no matter how arrogant they are. You are now from the Governor's Office of the two provinces, and represent the face of me, Chen Xi, don't embarrass me!"

Speaking of this, Chen Xi pushed Shen Yongqi, "Go!"

Shen Yongqi's face looked ugly. After coming out to see the world with Chen Xi, he would have to deal with some big scenes every time. Unfortunately, every time he saw these officials, he couldn't even say a complete sentence. Often, he would help spread the word through whatever Chen Xi said. Then he would reply as much as Chen Xi said.

Chen Xi asked Shen Yongqi to help deal with the people in Jianggan local yamen, mainly because there was no one around him.

The clerks he recruited before were not very satisfied in general. These people were okay to help with official documents, but they were not the best candidates to really reuse them.

In this way, Chen Xi would rather cultivate more Shen Yongqi. No matter what, he is his cousin, and he will not become a traitor in the future.

After coming to the study, Chen Xi thought to himself: "If Ma Jiu was there, there would never be no one available as he is now. Should he send a few people from Hui Niang to help? Alas!"

Chen Xi couldn't help but think about Hui Niang, and now Hui Niang is in Nanchang Prefecture City.

The two of them arrived in the same city, but he could not get out of here immediately. This was the most painful thing. Chen Xi was very concerned about Hui Niang, thinking about the child who had never met before he was born.

As for Li Jin, he was not very worried, but comforted him... He believed in Li Jin's ability. With her by Hui Niang's side, Hui Niang would not be alone.

"Sir, those people outside are difficult to deal with..." The personal soldiers who were in charge of guarding the gate ran in sweating profusely and complained to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi then remembered that someone was an official in the lobby to deal with it, but the officials and gentry outside who gave gifts had not been sent yet. He shook his head and said, "Does my official's yamen be treated as a vegetable market or what? I will post a notice later. If anyone comes to give gifts, they will be dealt with according to the crime of bribery. I don't believe that there are still people who are silly and ruthlessly delivering things!"

The personal soldiers took the order and left, and Shen Yongqi ran over there: "...Sir, I really can't stand it. Those people said that if you don't come forward, they will break into it!"

Chen Xi had a gloomy face: "If you ask them to break into the house, I want to see who dares to break into the back of my governor's yamen. So are you? Those people will take it seriously if they scare you a few words?"

Shen Yongqi stammered: "But... sir, those people... are the officials of the court after all!"

Chen Xidao: "What's wrong with the imperial court's official? Is it their official position or my official position? You are my disciple now. Show me some momentum. Be firm and tough in attitude, and dare to shout loudly, and see who dares to do whatever you dare to do!"
