"Xiansheng, this county asked you to tell you good news."

Zhao Magistrate Zhao gently stroked his beard and said leisurely: "Today, Zi Shengming will re-establish the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Quanzhang, Fuxing, Quanzhang, and the governor of the military affairs of Nanganting, Zhu Wan, the right deputy chief censor of the military affairs of the governor of Nanganting. Now Zhu Futai has taken office, and what do you think of the first thing he did after taking office? He specially praised the county's achievements in defending Japanese against Japanese defences, and sent orders to Fujian, Zhejiang coastal prefectures, prefectures, counties, and localities to follow the examples."

Although Magistrate Zhao has deliberately suppressed it, it is still difficult to hide his joy.

It is no wonder that the post of governor of Zhejiang has been vacant for many years. Now Emperor Jiajing has re-established the post of governor. As soon as the new governor took office, he has established Zhao County as a typical example and praised it. Zhao County has made a big splash.

If you look at this official position carefully, you will find that Governor Zhu not only manages Zhejiang, but also manages the military affairs of prefectures and counties along the coast of Fujian.

One person manages two governors. Although he does not have the name of a governor, he is a governor. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. Being favored by such a magistrate of the border, it seems that Zhao County Magistrate is about to make progress, and promotion is just around the corner.

Xu Yan bowed very much and said, "Students congratulate the county master and congratulate the county master."

"Hey, it's thanks to Xiansheng that this county can receive such praise from Zhu Futai."

Magistrate Zhao also knew that he could be praised by Governor Zhu, and it was all up to the three thousand stones of rice donated by Xu Yan.

Otherwise, when the Japanese pirates came ashore and raging, the price of food in the city would definitely starve to death.

Even if the big thing is finally reduced and the situation is suppressed, Magistrate Zhao will at most be a mediocre evaluation and will never be praised by Governor Zhu as a typical example.

County Magistrate Zhao paused and saw Xu Yan standing respectfully on the side without any pride. He was very satisfied and then continued: "This county just received the news. Governor Zhu was going to visit Ningbo Prefecture in a few days, and Dinghai County must come. According to convention, in addition to local officials being responsible for greeting, some local gentry and civilians also need to be with him. The county has decided to include you in it."

Although Magistrate Zhao said this, Xu Yan felt ecstatic.

Others don’t know what Zhu Wan is, can he not know? This big man planned a plan to wipe out the pirate stronghold in Shuangyu Island, and completely drove the Folang Jiren and the Japanese pirates out of this famous smuggling port. Such a person can not only become an official, but also have outstanding abilities. If he can win his favor, it will be of great help to Xu Yan’s future development.

Now that Zhao Magistrate has put him on the list of local gentry who welcomed Zhu Wan, it is naturally to repay Xu Yan's favor for donating grain. It is impolite to come but not come. Zhao Magistrate is indeed very helpful. Of course, Zhao Magistrate gave Xu Yan a chance. As for whether he can grasp it, it depends on Xu Yan himself.

"Student Xie County Zun Ende."

Xu Yan bowed respectfully and said with a deep respectful and deep voice: "Don't worry, the students will definitely not disappoint the county master!"

"Okay, okay! This county has indeed read the wrong person."

Magistrate Zhao nodded frequently and patted Xu Yan's shoulder with great praise and said, "Ambition is not about being old. Although you are still young, as long as you are motivated to study, the county will definitely support you more. You are ready these days, so don't show your timidity in front of Governor Zhu."

"Students will live up to the expectations of the county emperor!"

"Yeah, you go back."

County Magistrate Zhao waved his hand, and Xu Yan said goodbye very tactfully.

After leaving the county government office, Xu Yan returned home directly.

When Shuangxi saw that his young master was back, she hurriedly came forward: "Young master, what about the people in the yamen who didn't do you?"

Xu Yan only found it funny and opened his arms and turned around: "Look, I have a lot of arm and leg. Don't worry, the county magistrate asked me to go and told me a big happy event."

Shuangxi breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be a good thing, I was scared to death."

"Okay, go and ask the kitchen to make a few dishes for me, and then make a pot of wine. Master, I have a good appetite and I want to celebrate it."

"I'll go now!"

After leaving Shuangxi, Xu Yan returned to the house and sat down in front of Shucha.

Xu Yan, who specialized in the history of the Jiajing Dynasty, certainly knew that the Jiajing Dynasty had the most severe sea disasters in the Ming Dynasty. Not only were there Japanese pirates, but also Folang Ji people.

Let’s talk about the Folang Ji people entrenched on the Shuangyu Islands, establishing ports, warehouses, and military camps on the island, which is almost an independent small kingdom. Of course, this is what Emperor Jiajing could not tolerate, and of course there is another fuse, that is, Xie Qian’s hometown was exterminated.

This incident should have happened not long ago. In order to collect debts, the Folang Ji people on Shuangyu Island rushed to Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, and took advantage of the night to sneak into Xie's house and killed dozens of people from the Xie family.

Who was Xie Qian? He was a famous cabinet minister in the Hongzhi Dynasty. He went through the three dynasties of Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing, and countless students and guests. In the tenth year of Jiajing, Xie Qian died, and Emperor Jiajing also specially awarded him the title of Grand Tutor and his posthumous title was Wen Zheng.

Such a famous minister was destroyed by Folangjiren after his death. How could the news not make him angry when Emperor Jiajing heard it?

This is simply a slap in the face! Emperor Jiajing was a person who looked at his face more than anything else. This was also the reason why pirates were rampant in the early Jiajing Dynasty, but Zhu Hougui was not re-established as the governor of Zhejiang until the 26th year of Jiajing and was preparing to vigorously rectify coastal defense.

No matter what, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must seize it.

......

......

On July 16, the new Zhejiang Governor Zhu Wan came to Dinghai County, Ningbo Prefecture for inspection.

Dinghai County Magistrate Zhao Ruohai brought civil and military officials from all over the county and the children of local gentry out of the city to greet him.

Xu Yan attended the gentry as a member of the children of the gentry.

In order to show respect, Zhao Magistrate Zhao and others naturally left the city early. Xu Yan followed the crowd for an hour before waiting for Governor Zhu's great commander.

It has to be said that the governor's pomp is indeed very grand, with hundreds of people guarding the ceremonial guards just before and after. From a distance, he looks really imposing.

Xu Yan thought to himself that no wonder everyone wants to take the exam for fame and fortune and become a high-ranking official. Of course, you still have to know how to show off when you become an official. If you don’t return to your hometown without returning home, it’s like walking in a brocade dress at night.

It's really great to be so majestic in front of people.

The next process was very fixed. Magistrate Zhao welcomed the governor into the city and gave the county government to the governor to stay. When Governor Zhu and his party were settled, it would be the highlight of the reception.

Magistrate Zhao had already taken down the most luxurious Lanyue Tower in Dinghai County and asked Governor Zhu to move here.

In addition to Governor Zhu's accompanying staff and the main officials of Dinghai County, there were also some representatives of gentry waiting for him. Of course, the number of people was much less than the city gate, about ten people. Xu Yan was one of them.
