Even if there is no vacancy, after he became the Left Governor, he may be transferred to the position of governor of Henan, governor of Huguang, etc. for the two provinces of Governor of Chenxi, Guangdong and Guangxi.

If he doesn't seize the opportunity now, in a few years, if he doesn't want to go to Nanjing for free, he will have to retire and go home to retire.

When Lu Heng came, he highly praised Chen Xi and praised Chen Xi's political achievements in the past six months as an official in the local area. Chen Xi almost felt that he had spent half a year doing what a three-year governor would do. He would have nothing to do in the next two and a half years, just wait for Ren Man to be promoted.

Lu Heng seemed to be a flattering minister, but Chen Xi knew that Lu Heng had indeed achieved many achievements when governing the country. Even practical ministers like Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia highly praised him, and this person's ability was extraordinary.

Hearing Lu Heng's praise, Chen Xi smiled bitterly: "Lu Fantai should know that this official was just coming to the southeast coast to wipe out the bandits on his order. After his success, he may retire..."

What Chen Xi wanted to express was that I, the governor, did not deserve the title of governor, and others were transferred to Guangdong Province as governor, and they must have the title of governor or governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. The official position should be the Right Censor, not the Right Censor... I, the governor, is temporary, and it may take less than three years before the emperor summoned me back to continue teaching his son. It would be of no use for you to curry favor with me.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Shen Zhongcheng is in Hanyuan. If he has made outstanding contributions to combating bandits in this way, it is unknown whether he will be in the future, he will be in the generals and ministers."

Being a general and becoming a prime minister is the highest level pursued by officials. However, the Ming Dynasty has deposed the prime minister. Even if he can be a general, he will only be a cabinet minister at most. The cabinet ministers only have the power to discuss politics, but have no power to make decisions, which is still quite different from the real prime minister.

Lu Heng said this, in fact, I want to show that you have a bright future. We work together to work together. In the future, I can also be transferred to the capital city smoothly and get what you need.

Some words cannot be said too clearly, otherwise they will be deemed to the point. Chen Xi smiled and nodded: "Borrowing the auspicious words of Lu Fantai, I have been in office as Guangzhou Prefecture for some time. If Lu Fantai has any questions, you can come to visit at any time!"

Lu Heng stood up and bowed, "It must be, it must."

...

...

As soon as Lu Heng arrived in Guangzhou Prefecture, less than two days later, the General Secretary sent someone to the Governor's Office to discuss the issue of the amount of money and grain needed to quell pirates and Japanese pirates after the beginning of spring.

Chen Xi was eager to eliminate pirates and Japanese pirates, and Lu Heng was even more anxious than him.

Perhaps when Chen Xi's battle at the beginning of spring ended, the emperor transferred him back to the capital committee to take important tasks. Lu Heng, as the left governor, wanted to get enough political achievements, just to get water from the bamboo basket.

Since he knew that Chen Xi was going to lead his troops north after the beginning of spring, he had to prepare all the money and food expenses before sending troops to show his ability.

If there is a shortage of money and food, you can directly transfer it from the treasury; if there is no warship, you can recruit folk ships; if the weapons are outdated, you can mobilize the place to build... In short, Chen Xi used to do everything that he had to do by himself, after Lu Heng arrived, Lu Heng would do it on his behalf.

When Lu Heng was the right-sponsor of Shanxi, he helped Ma Wensheng use troops to dispatch money and grain in the northwest; when he was the left governor in Shaanxi, he helped Liu Daxia fight with the Tatars to transport money and grain. This time he came to the southeast coast, which was actually a waste of talent. He was experienced in how to pick up grain from the gaps of his teeth, as well as the transportation of civilians and ships.

The right governor Zhang Yuanying was just a talented Confucian official who was only good at using conspiracy, while Lu Heng came to the local area to do practical things. The two had different starting points of becoming officials, so they were also very different in their official strategies.

What Zhang Yuan should think about was how to force Chen Xi away, or suppress the governor's yamen, so that he could be the highest administrative officer in Guangdong Province with justification. Lu Heng wanted to assist Chen Xi in completing the task of pacifying bandits and rectifying local officials in order to be transferred to the capital.

So when the General Administration presented the tax accounts of the treasury from the previous year to Chen Xi, Chen Xi was still a little uncomfortable. Lu Heng was so considerate that he actually told me how much grain there is in each treasury in Guangdong, how much it can be transported, how much it needs to be retained for famine preparation, how much money and grain transported to the court must be sent in the same year, and how much it can be prepaid...

Chen Xi wanted to investigate these specific numbers before, but he couldn't find them, because Zhang Yuan and Lin Tingxuan were too cautious about him.

Lu Heng even made a calculation for him that Guangdong could provide him with enough money and grain, equivalent to about 50,000 taels of silver, which was enough for his expenses during his war.

Only about half of the grain and materials worth 50,000 taels were transported from the treasury, and the other half required the donation of local gentry and merchants, and needed to pay certain heavy taxes to ordinary people. Although these were some necessary measures in the war, Chen Xi was unwilling to waste the people and cause money. He would rather use the tens of thousands of taels of silver from the previous sales of salt and trade with the Folangji people to support it, just let Lu Heng transport the necessary treasury money and grain.

Originally, the period from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was the day for officials to rest, but when Lu Heng came, all levels of the yamen in Guangzhou had to work overtime. Later, Lu Heng distributed the amount of money and grain assigned by the governor's envoy to the treasury of the government and government office in the form of official documents, and asked local people to send people to collect the treasury grain before mid-March and transport it to Guangzhou Prefecture for the use of the bandits in Chenxi.

During this period, Chen Xi didn't have to do anything, and even raised flowers and grass at home to accompany his beautiful wife, just waiting for the beginning of spring to lead the troops to fight.

Although this is the highest level of life he has always pursued, he has not achieved success and is not at ease to let others do everything.

Lu Heng is capable and has a lot of work. He is afraid that Lu Heng does not understand the local area and is not expected to have enough difficulties. If the showdown in the government ends up causing chaos in the people, Chen Xi and his thousands of bandit troops will be dealt with.

The yamen of the governor of the Ministry of Administration issued official documents from various prefectures and counties to collect money and grain. The governor of the three provinces of Chenxi sent the official documents to Guizhou and Fujian provinces.

If Lu Heng transferred the money and grain that he saved one by one, he would transfer the money and grain that he saved three times.

To fight Japanese pirates and pirates, you can only support three to five months of money and food, but it is not safe. If you encounter a difficult war, will you stop halfway and wait for the next year to raise military rations and materials before fighting?

It is better to have more than less, but the excess can be used as a reward for soldiers after the war.

That's all!
