On July 21, Chen Xi and his party arrived in Guangzhou City.

Guangzhou Cheng was jointly under Nanhai County and Panyu County, and was the garrison of the Guangdong Provincial Administration. In the Ming Dynasty, Guangzhou Prefecture was under one prefecture and fifteen counties, one of which was Lianzhou. The fifteen counties were Panyu County, Nanhai County, Shunde County, Xiangshan County, Xinhui County, Yangshan County, Lianshan County, Dongguan County, Xin'an County, Sanshui County, Zengcheng County, Longmen County, Qingyuan County, and Xinning County. In the second year of Hongzhi, Conghua County was added.

In the afternoon of the same day, the official ship berthed at the Zhujiang Port. The group entered the city from the south of the city and first went to the inn in the southwest of the city to rest. Chenxi dragged his family with his mouth, and it was inconvenient to stay in the inn, so Ma Jiu and others arranged to stay in the inn near the inn, leaving only the female family in the inn, and at the same time sent people to the yamen of the governor and the envoy to submit a letter to the office.

As the governor of the three provinces, Chen Xi acted as low-key as possible after arriving in Guangzhou Prefecture. When the Guangdong local three officials heard about his actions in Fuzhou, he would be wary of his use of "rectifying the administration".

As expected, the letter of worship was delivered, but the yamen of the governor and the yamen of the governor did not send anyone to visit him that day.

Chen Xi knew that he was not welcomed. The local governor's office was in charge of the administration of a province, and suddenly a governor suddenly popped up from his head, and no one was willing to delegate power easily.

Chen Xi stayed in the inn for one day, and the next day he personally took people to the yamen of the governor's office... Even if he was not welcomed, he still had to perform his official duties. This was the first yamen of the third yamen he had gone to after he officially took office in Wuzhou. His vocation started by visiting the yamen of the governor's office.

Under the leadership of a sixth-rank experience, Chen Xi entered the yamen, passed the Yimen, lobby, and second halls, and came to the reception room of the third hall, sat down and waited, and waited from Si time to Wu time, but no one was seen.

Looking at the scorching sun outside, Chen Xi stood up and walked towards the yamen. The previous experience came over and asked, "Sir Shen, where are you going?"

"Hunger in the stomach, I need to treat my stomach."

Chen Xi finished speaking with a smile, and followed the way the governor and the envoy came.

After personally sending Chen Xi out of the government office, after Chen Xi walked away, he sighed softly: "I'll send the plague god away in the end, don't come again."

Chen Xi took Ma Jiu and others to walk around the streets near the yamen of the governor and the ranks of the Imperial Office. What he heard was basically the Cantonese language, which was different from later generations. He lacked many conventional vernacular slang and many literary ancient slang. Chen Xi originally knew a few words of Cantonese, but now he basically couldn't understand what the locals were saying.

Fortunately, Guangzhou City is one of the main bridges for communication between the Ming Dynasty and overseas. There are many foreign merchants here and there are very different cultures. Even the shopkeepers of the street shops and the dialects of several places are mostly from Jiangxi, Fujian and Nanzhili. You can occasionally hear Huguang dialect and Sichuan dialect, which shows that there are many people coming to do business from all over the country.

After lunch, Ma Jiuben thought Chen Xi would go back to the inn, but who knew that Chen Xi would go to the yamen of the governor and envoy again.

"There is no one in the vassal yamen, why don't you go back to the official office to wait?" Ma Jiu asked with some surprise.

"If you go back and wait, it is possible that you won't see anyone for ten days and half a month. If you can't wait in the morning, just wait for one day. If you can't wait for a day, I will wait until they have to come out to see me." Chen Xi smiled and said, "I have nothing to do anyway."

Chen Xi came to Fujian and Guangdong to eliminate bandits. Without the support of local governments, he had no soldiers and no money or food, so how could he talk about suppressing bandits?

Back at the Guangdong Provincial Government Office, I entered the reception room of the three halls again, sat down leisurely, and made a cup of tea. I was worried about that experience. Why did this plague god not leave?

Chen Xi sat for an afternoon, but no one came out to see him. He didn't force him to sit there and doze for a while... He took a good energy to accompany his wife tonight, just so he was just right.

Even that experience accompanied Chen Xi for an afternoon. When the sun sets, Chen Xi came to the door and looked at the sky, and smiled and said, "No danger, this day passed so quickly..."

"Great to the Lord." The experience came to pay a gift.

Chen Xi looked at the other party. He looked in his forties, had a well-proportioned figure, and his eyes were circulating. He should be an old fox in the yamen of the governor's office. He frowned slightly, took out a letter, and said, "Don't worry, hand this letter over to Zhou Fantai..."

The experience asked in surprise: "Zhou Fantai just passed away, don't you know?"

"ah?"

Chen Xi did not expect this and asked in surprise, "When will Zhou Fantai die? "

The experience looked a little sad: "It was three days ago that Zhou Fantai loved the people as much as his son, but he did not expect to die young..."

However, it is said that the Guangdong Provincial Governor Zhou Mengzhong is already 65 years old. In an era when the average age is only 30 years old, after 50 years old, he should "know the destiny" and being able to live to 65 is already a rare longevity.

He actually said he died young?

Chen Xi was originally thinking that if someone died like this, it wouldn't be fooling me? But if he thought about it carefully, even if the people of the Guangdong Provincial Administration and the General Office were on guard against him, he would never joke about Zhou Mengzhong's death.

This kind of thing has to be reported to the court. First, he reported his death, and then said that he was not dead. This joke is a big deal!

"Then let it go to Zhang Fantai."

Chen Xi added, since the left governor Zhou Mengzhong died in office, the right governor Zhang Yuan should not have been so coincidental, right?

After taking the letter, he said, "The officials must submit the letter..."

Chen Xi sighed and shook his head, left the government office of the General Secretary, looked back, and muttered, "It's so unlucky to sit inside and wait for a dead person all day."

...

...

As soon as he returned to the official post, a follower came to report that someone had been waiting for him for a day at the inn, but Liu Weikuan, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Dusi Yamen.

Liu Weikuan was nearly forty years old, tall and big. He was obviously from a military general. When he saw Chen Xi, he respectfully clasped his fists: "The last general has met the governor."

The commander Tongzhi was from the second rank, half a level higher than Chen Xi's official rank. When he met, he called him an adult, which shows that the status of warriors in this era was low.

Chen Xi waved his hand quickly: "General Liu is polite, please come inside."

Because Chen Xi’s official job was to calm down local bandits and was recommended by Liu Daxia, Minister of War, even the British Duke Zhang Mao, who was in charge of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, also highly praised Chen Xi, which made the local ministry office willing to take the initiative to move closer to Chen Xi.

On the contrary, the General Administration and the Censorate were both a group of arrogant civil officials who looked down on young people like Chen Xi and did not want to accept Chen Xi's dispatch.

After sitting down, Liu Weikuan asked, "I wonder how many soldiers and horses the lords are going to mobilize, and when, where will the local bandits and Japanese pirates be launched to clean up?"

Chen Xi was stunned by the question. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually a "manager". He came up and asked him about the details of his actions... I didn't see a soldier, and I didn't have a grain of food in my hand. You are so concerned about the trend of suppressing bandits. Can you satisfy me as much as I want?

Chen Xi asked, "I wonder how many personnel can the Commander-in-Chief can provide?"

"Um……"

Liu Weikuan looked a little embarrassed, "The Governor and Governor may have to go to the Guangdong garrisons to properly arrange the situation according to the actual situation..."

If I want me to go to the local garrison to mobilize troops, what does the Dusi yamen need to do? You all commanders will not play Tai Chi pushers with me, saying that you can't mobilize the troops in Guangdong, right? Or do I wipe out all the bandits, and you have no reason to ask the court for money and food in the future, so you have a problem with me?

Chen Xi originally wanted to say, "You don't need to remind me, I will go to the garrison below, but when I heard it, I turned into: "General Liu saw that I am young, thin, not good at straitors, and I usually do things like doing military strategies in the rear. I am afraid that the garrison troops need full help from the Dusiya."

Liu Weikuan hesitated for a moment: "I am afraid that I will go back and ask Li Dushi for instructions."

I knew you could not make the decision, but I was ordered to test my words! Chen Xi smiled and stood up: "I'm sorry to see you off, General Liu will leave."

After seeing off Liu Weikuan, Tang Yin came out of the inner hall and asked in confusion: "Shen Zhongcheng, who is this?"

"Liu Weikuan, commander of Guangdong, did Brother Tang say that he felt cold yesterday? He looked good today. I guess he was healed?" Chen Xi looked at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin pretended to be dead yesterday and said he wanted to recuperate for two days. Chen Xi knew that Tang Yin didn't want to go to the ranks of the governor's office with him to make trouble. Now that he saw him come back, he immediately recovered from his illness. This is too shameless, right? Tang Yin did not think it was offensive, and he replied without blushing, "Guangzhou's outstanding people are powerful, maybe they are cured without medicine."

Chen Xi smiled coldly and said angrily: "Guangzhou is indeed a talented person. So Brother Tang wants to go out for a few drinks?"

"Shen Zhongcheng's words are just right with Tang, please." Tang Yin immediately beat the snake and followed the stick. Anyway, he was used to eating and drinking around Shen Xi for nothing, so he was not afraid of embarrassing.

It’s getting late now, and Tang Yin thought, you won’t go to see any officials now, right? After drinking, I come back and sleep well. I’ll sleep until the sun is three o’clock tomorrow. Wouldn’t it be a pleasure?

With this idea, Tang Yin and Chen Xi went out.

Chen Xi did not deceive Tang Yin, so he took him to the nearby restaurant and ordered two kilograms of wine, which was much inferior in terms of food... Chen Xi was also saving money at this moment. After all, Hui Niang and Song Xiaocheng both reopened their businesses and needed capital turnover. His salary in the past few months has not yet been settled. If you have a wife and children at home, you naturally have to save some expenses.

Tang Yin smiled and filled Chen Xi with wine, poured it on himself, picked up the wine glass and said, "Shen Zhongcheng, I'll give you a glass, thank you for your care along the way."

Chen Xi raised his wine glass: "Is it that Brother Tang wants to go back to Suzhou?"

"I have no such intention, I just feel it."

Tang Yin said, and drank a sip of wine, immediately vomited the wine, turned his head and shouted loudly, "Shopkeeper, is this your best wine? One or two wines are mixed with a pound of water, right?"

The shopkeeper of the restaurant did not come up to the second floor. In fact, Tang Yin really misunderstood the other person in this matter, but Chen Xi deliberately asked the shopkeeper to do this.

Eat free food all day long and want to drink good wine. If you do things, you will be in a way that will stop you from doing things. Where can you do such a cheap thing in the world?

Chen Xi smiled slightly: "Brother Tang, don't be angry. This business likes to cheat on wine the most. I heard that there is a place in the city with very mellow wine. I wonder if Brother Tang is willing to go with him?"
