After Chen Xi handled the matter in Fuzhou, he left nothing to do. The follow-up matters will be reported to the court by the local three officials, and the court will re-appoint a new left and right governor to Fujian to perform their duties.

Even if two governors are missing, there are still local officials, including prefectures, prefectures, counties and other levels of government management, Fujian will not fall into chaos.

On the contrary, because the forces of Shang Yingkui and Zi Qian collapsed, the merchants in Fuzhou were less exploited, and the peddlers and pawns were less suppressed, and the people gradually returned to their peace and prosperity.

Chenxi was very low-key when he entered the city, but when he left the city, thousands of people flew away. Some people even insisted on sending Chenxi some eggs, rice balls and other condolences. This is enough to witness how much impact the forces of Shang Yingkui and Zi Qian had on the daily lives of the people in the city.

When Chen Xi entered the city, he rode on a carriage, but when he left the city, he rode on a tall horse.

After practicing along the way, Chen Xi is now very skilled in riding horses, and he can handle it with ease even if a horse trots. Chen Xi faces the cheers of the people on the horse's back, waves to greet the people on both sides of the street, and always has a smile on his face, and he accepts the support of the people with peace of mind.

In Jiang Liwei's view, Chen Xi's move is a show of shame.

"After being the governor for a few days, such a big disturbance in the local area caused great trouble to the court. Not only did the superiors pursue it, but they might be so crazy revenge by the nobles and court officials... Even if those people can't do anything to you, your life on the southeast ground will not be easy. The grasshoppers in autumn will not be able to rush for a few days!"

Even Yu Niang felt that Chen Xi was too high-profile. In her opinion, Chen Xi was young, but she knew how to tolerate her. In order to eliminate the power of Shang Yingkui and Zi Qian, she secretly planned for two or three years. Now Chen Xi's behavior has suddenly become so high-profile, which seems very abnormal.

"Mr. Shen, are you so arrogant, aren't you afraid of being retaliated by the remnants of Shang Fantai?" After leaving the city, Yu Niang raised her question to Chen Xi.

At this moment, Chen Xi had already jumped off the horse's back and was about to get back into the carriage, take the bus to the south of the Shitong Port, and cross the Minjiang River by ferry. Hearing Yu Niang's question, he looked back and said, "If I don't make any more public, I will leave Fuzhou City, who remembers that I have been here?"

Yu Niang almost blurted out, are you an official to let others remember it?

However, after a little thought, Yu Niang immediately understood Chen Xi’s intention.

Chen Xi did not want to show off, but to quell local bandits and Japanese pirates in the future.

Before this, the three yamen of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi probably looked down on Chen Xi, who was born in Hanlin and had no practical experience, and would inevitably cause trouble for Chen Xi to coordinate military and political affairs of the three provinces in the future to eliminate bandits.

Chen Xi's move was entirely to establish his authority.

Chen Xi's move was announcing to local officials in Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces that I am Chen Xi. Even Shang Yingkui and Zi Qian who are in Fuzhou are not my opponents. You should either be honest and behave with your tails, cooperate with me well, or wait for me to eliminate them!

Chen Xi is doing this with three new officials, but in Yu Niang's opinion, it is still too risky. Aren't you afraid that local officials will be anxious?

Chen Xi had a thorough understanding of the psychology of the Ming officials. When he was an official in the Ming Dynasty, the first principle was to be moderate and make a fortune in a quiet voice. Even if he was arrogant and domineering in the local area, he could not sing a counter-topic tune with his immediate superior. In the past, the three provinces and three departments were directly responsible to the two capitals and six ministries. Now that Shen Xi, the governor, came, they had to become responsible to Chen Xi.

Since Chen Xi has become the immediate boss, as long as they are at peace with each other, the local officials can continue to make a fortune in silence. Are you full and you have to fight against me, the governor?

Sure enough, after Chenxi set off from Fuzhou City, on the way south, the local reception specifications immediately increased by more than one level.

Whenever Chenxi arrives at a place, there will be local government offices and county offices to pick up people. Before arriving at the inn, there will be special people to prepare in advance. The food and drink cost is completely according to the standards of the first-class imperial envoy. In Lingnan, a place far from the Central Plains, Chenxi received extremely high standards.

"Didn't Yu Niang say it's hard to Zhang Yang? It seems that... it's good to be on the go occasionally. At least it's not as hard as before..."

Departing from Fuzhou City, Chen Xi looked relaxed, which was completely different from the fact that he always had a tense face when he rushed to Fuzhou before.

Yu Niang guessed that this was because Chen Xi felt relaxed after shocking the Fujian officialdom and clearing his enemies.

The right governor of Fujian Province, Shang Yingkui, was punished. Chen Xi had personal grievances mixed with it. He only needed to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys when doing things. Chen Xi would not be full and could clean up officials at all levels in the three provinces from top to bottom. If Chen Xi really did that, he would not need to take action from local officials in the three provinces to start, and the court would also dismiss him.

The imperial court sent you to the local area to quell the bandits and Japanese pirates, and to govern the local area, and not to let you do anything wrong!

...

...

Leaving Fujian from Pinghe County and entering the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Provincial Administration and Envoy.

The first stop is Chaozhou Prefecture.

Chenxi is going to Wuzhou instead of Guangzhou Fucheng, the resident of the Guangdong Provincial Administration Office. Therefore, starting from Chaozhou Prefecture, following the official road, passing through Huizhou Prefecture and Shaozhou Prefecture, crossing from the northern part of Nanhai County, one of the two counties of Guangzhou Prefecture, heading west, entering Zhaoqing Prefecture from Sishui, and then leaving Fengchuan, and arrive at the county town of Cangwu County, the prefecture of Wuzhou Prefecture, which is the location of the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The journey from the capital to Lingnan was finally completed. It took two and a half months to complete. It was already late June when it arrived.

Chenxi is not walking fast, but it is much faster than Zhou and Xie Yuner. After all, she detours over Jiangxi and has mostly waterways along the way. The cars and horses and boats often have to be replaced along the way.

After arriving at Wuzhou Prefecture, Chen Xi first went to his yamen. The Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi had no one to live in for many years, and was disrepaired for so long. The government office, which occupied a large area, seemed dilapidated.

Although the governor's office has yamen and courts, it never opens to investigate cases, so most departments are actually decorations.

Because the governors of the Ming Dynasty were not permanent, there were no direct officials under the governor's yamen. Strictly speaking, there were only twenty clerks in the coastal governors of Chenxi, the three southeastern provinces, who were appointed by him. His previous term was Deng Tingzan, who took office in the eighth year of Hongzhi. At that time, it was because of the Yao people in Guangxi. However, after Deng Tingzan finished his responsibilities, he stepped down in the tenth year of Hongzhi. In other words, no officials moved into the yamen during the five years from the tenth year of Hongzhi to the fifteenth year of Hongzhi.

The huge house has been vacant.

Cangwu County is just a remote town. If Chenxi wants to repair it, it has to do what it can. Things can only be put on hold for the time being.

After entering the government office, Chen Xi successively met with the magistrate of Wuzhou, the magistrate of Cangwu County, and the Guangxi and Guangdong Provincial Administration Commissioners.

According to Chen Xi's plan, although the governor's yamen was located in Wuzhou, after settlement, he would go to Guangzhou Fucheng, where the Guangdong Provincial Administration Office was located.

Guangzhou Prefecture is the three open harbor cities of the Ming Dynasty, and it is inevitably threatened by pirates and Japanese pirates... naturally, we must start with Guangzhou Prefecture to quell the bandits.

As for the Guangxi Provincial Governor's Office, he had no intention of going there. Unless it was involved in scheduling money and grain, it would be of little significance to go to Guilin Prefecture through hardships.

Chenxi regulates the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi and Fujian. The government office is Wuzhou Prefecture, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, but the real control of the military affairs of Guangdong and Fujian provinces is the coastal military affairs of Guangdong and Fujian provinces. The responsibilities are complicated. To put it bluntly, he went to the coast to calm bandits and Japanese pirates. The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the governor of the three provinces are just a nice name.

When Chen Xi arrived at the destination, he realized that his authority might not be as powerful as the prefect of Wuzhou.

At least there are co-magistrates, magistrates and other subordinates under the prefect's yamen, as well as yamen runners waiting for the dispatch. However, even if there are twenty quotas under Chen Xi, they must be recruited in person. These skeletons have no official positions or ranks and will be brought back as staff. The court will subsidize certain amount of money and grain as salary, but the salary must be taken from Guiping Wu Yudao, which means that the expenses of a governor's yamen will be controlled by the local government and the government.

On the third day of arriving in Cangwu County, Chen Xi had prickly heat on her body. The weather was stuffy and hot, which made him very uncomfortable. The Wuzhou Prefecture City was surrounded by mountains and forests, with snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere. Chen Xi was very worried that he would lose his life when he went to Renwuzhou.

At this time, Jiang Liwei and Yu Niang came to ask Chen Xi for instructions and were about to go back home.

"...Mr. Shen, my family stayed with Yun Liu and Xier. If there is any order, just give me instructions. My family will go north and may have a good time."

It was said that there was a goodbye period, which means that Yu Niang would not return to the capital for the time being. Chen Xi thought to himself, you have indeed received some more errands, just not to secretly supervise me.

As for Jiang Liwei, it was much more direct. Jiang Liwei's job was mainly to escort Chen Xi and send Chen Xi to the place. He, the Jinyiwei, was going to return. However, Chen Xi guessed that even if Jiang Liwei wanted to return to Beijing, he would still be responsible for some tasks, such as capturing someone by the way.

The Jinyiwei will not leave Beijing for no reason. If you simply escort a governor to the local area to take office, you only need to dispatch one or two teams of officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp. Why should you alarm the Jinyiwei?

Most of the time some unlucky officials in the local area offended the royal family or the powerful people in the court, and the court secretly sent people to capture them.

This kind of thing is common in the Ming Dynasty. The Jinyiwei can even be ordered to investigate the official's residence without being interrogated, or even kill and silence people.

Chen Xi still remembers the official lady who followed Tingzhou Prefecture to look for her father in the south. Her father was guilty of offending the Zhang brothers.

Unfortunately, time has passed and the news of the woman has disappeared from Chenxi, and I don’t know what the final result is.

When doing things, the factory guards do not need to explain to the people of the world. Many things will not be recorded. Even if they have power and power, they will not be able to investigate how much the factory guards have done secretly.

Chen Xi smiled and said respectfully: "Yu Niang has worked hard all the way, and she has arrived safely. She doesn't need anyone to take care of her. However, Yu Niang, you are so dusty. How can you do without a handy person? I think you should bring all the followers with you, so you can take care of them along the way. When I was young, I lived in Fujian and Guangdong for a long time. This place is not much different from Tingzhou Prefecture. I believe you will be able to adapt soon. On the contrary, Yu Niang, you should take care of yourself."

Before leaving, Chen Xi finally returned to his original name to Yu Niang.

Yu Niang understood that Chen Xi was expressing her attitude and refused to leave Yun Liu and Xier, but she did not force her. On June 26th, she led people to go on the road, and Yun Liu and Xier followed her.

Yu Niang and Jiang Liwei have different paths.

On June 27th, the day after Yu Niang left, Jiang Liwei also took her people away.

Chen Xi suddenly realized that he had become a lonely man. Now, except for a few followers, only Tang Bohu could help. He didn't even have a cook to cook at night, and he also had to eat in the wine shop in the county town. This made him miss his life when his wife and children were in the capital.
