The Ming Dynasty officialdom was the most concerned about etiquette.

The superiors and subordinates are strict and strict, and every move needs to be done according to etiquette. The so-called following the rules is just like this.

In order to prepare for this welcoming banquet, Magistrate Zhao spent a lot of effort.

Needless to say, the entire restaurant was included, even the chef who was in charge was invited from Suzhou Prefecture.

There is no way, Dinghai County is located in a remote area and is far less prosperous than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Governor Zhu is from Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture. Governor Zhao finally had the opportunity to show his own performance in front of the Governor. In order to let the Governor eat the delicious food in his hometown, it is also worth spending some money on this.

But it was almost dusk, and Governor Zhu, who had a rest, surrounded him from left to right and left to Lanyue Tower, climbed up the steps, and walked to the third floor top pavilion before stopping.

The reason why the reception banquet was arranged on the third floor was because the pavilion had the best view. When you opened the window, you could see the vast ocean. The person who participated in the reception banquet was either Governor Zhu's personal follower, or civil and military officials in Dinghai County, and representatives of local gentry.

Everyone looked at Governor Zhu with a gaze until he waved his hand calmly, "Everyone can come to the table." Then everyone sat around the table.

Although Xu Yan was able to attend the banquet, he was not qualified to be at the same table as the governor. He looked at him sideways and said that the seats arranged by the magistrate Zhao Ruohai were all very far behind.

The governor Zhu Wan was naturally the one sitting in the head.

Xu Yan looked from a distance and saw Governor Zhu sitting upright, looking extremely heroic and energetic against the backdrop of his crimson official robe. Logically speaking, Zhu Wan was born in the seventh year of Hongzhi and is now fifty-three years old. But except for her a little thin body, she could not tell that the person in front of her was over 50 years old.

When later generations talk about anti-Japanese heroes, they often think of Zhang Jing, Hu Zongxian, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang, but few people think of the name Zhu Wan. Xu Yan, who specializes in the history of the Jiajing Dynasty, will not forget this person. Regardless of other things, the fact that he led his troops to destroy Shuangyu Island and annihilate more than 800 Folangji pirates is worthy of admiration.

Of course, Zhu Wan had just taken office at this time and everything was being explored. However, Xu Yan believed that with such a hard-working backbone, the coastal defense of Fujian and Zhejiang would become more and more stable.

It can be seen that Zhu Wan's face was a little tired at this time.

It is no wonder that Emperor Jiajing issued an order to re-appoint the governor of Zhejiang in June, and ordered Zhu Wan to change his position. After receiving the order, Zhu Wan immediately took his family out of Ganzhou Prefecture and rushed to Zhejiang in the scorching heat of June. After more than half a month of travel, Zhu Wan finally arrived in Zhejiang in early July. After a few days of rest, he set out again to inspect the prefectures and counties in Zhejiang.

When he arrived in Dinghai County, Zhu Wan should have been very tired. However, he tried his best to show a relaxed look, picked up his wine glass and said, "Everyone, the Southeast is now in trouble, and the Japanese pirates are rampant. My Fu was ordered to govern Zhejiang and govern Zhejiang's coastal defense. To rectify coastal defense, it is not possible to rely on Zhu alone, and you must look up to your colleagues."

Zhu Wan spoke out, and the officials present raised their glasses, saying that they would be the only one who was the governor.

After a speech that was not nutritious, Zhu Wan put down her wine glass and sighed: "This time the pirates were raging, especially Ningbo Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, and Taizhou Prefecture, you should know the matter of Xie Ge's hometown, right? The emperor was furious and the emperor was humiliated and died. If we cannot share the worries for the king, what are the faces of us ministers who eat the king's fortune?"

After a moment of pause, Zhu Wan continued: "But as far as I know, the coastal defense arrangements in Dinghai County are still good. Not only did they not lose land, they also killed three Japanese pirates."

When he said this, Zhu Wan kept staring at Zhao Magistrate. Zhao Ruohai was a little nervous when he was staring, and quickly bowed and replied: "Master Futai praised it. I also wanted to try my best to suppress the enemy, but now the military preparations of various garrisons are weak, but I am really powerless."

Zhu Wan nodded and said, "The Pure Guards are aware of the things that the Magistrate Zhao said. It will take a day to rectify the sea defense. It is even more impossible to destroy the pirates by one person and one place. It is the responsibility of the Pure Guards to be centrally dispatched, integrate troops, and defend the territory and the border."

"Master Futai is wise!"

Everyone flattered them very appropriately.

When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel more affection for the Zhejiang governor. If everyone in the Ming Dynasty could have the responsibility of Zhu Wan, why not worry about the uneasy sea defense?

"Zhao County Magistrate. My dev also heard that a local gentry took the initiative to donate 3,000 stones of grain to the government to provide relief to the people. Is there such a thing?"

Zhu Wan drank another glass of wine, then turned her tone and gently stroked her beard.

"Ah, if you go back to Futai, this is indeed the case."

Magistrate Zhao quickly stood up, pointed his arm at Xu Yan at the adjacent table and said with a laugh: "Please look at the tutoring platform, it is this Xiaolangjun Xu who donated the food."

Seeing this, Xu Yan quickly got up and stepped forward, saluted Zhu Wan a few steps and said, "Boy Xu Yan greets the governor."

Zhu Wan looked up and down and Xu Yan nodded slightly and said, "You young man knows such a great thing at such a young age."

Xu Yan took a deep breath and said, "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Even if you are not talented, you know that this Ningbo Prefecture Dinghai County was the place where I gave birth to me and raised me. Only with a country can you have a family. The kid's behavior of donating grain should not be praised in this way."

Zhu Wan was really shocked now.

I saw him silently chanting: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world... A good sentence for the rise and fall of the world is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! I never thought that you could have such a vision and insight at a young age. I am very comforted, I am very comforted!"

Everyone's eyes also fell on Xu Yan, and some praise was revealed in their eyes.

Zhao County Magistrate was naturally very proud. The governor clearly praised Xu Yan, but in fact he was like praising himself. After all, he was the parent official of Dinghai County. Can such a young man with such a general and pattern appear among the younger generations in Dinghai County? Isn’t it better for him to educate him as a parent official?

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost done, Xu Yan picked up the wine glass on the table and said to Zhu Wan: "What you did is not worth mentioning. If you want to be safe in the Ming Dynasty, you have to rely on the governor. You have nothing to do, so you write a poem to show your ambitions."

Zhu Wan felt more and more interesting, and gently stroked her beard and said, "Okay, OK!"

Xu Yan drank the wine and walked slowly with his hands on his back.

After walking a few steps, his face turned slightly red, and he chanted with the intention of drinking:

"The island barbarians were responsible for sailing every year, and invaded the Three Wus and Zhejiang.

How many ways do you know when you are divided into the sandbank? The general is in the oil tower.

A seven-foot dragon coiled soap string, and a Japanese knife hangs a man's waist.

Who can I send it to? I charge a hundred times and roll the sea dragon."

After reciting a poem, the house was silent.

After a long time, Zhu Wan held her hands and praised: "What a song about a seven-foot dragon-panned soap-lined tape, and a sword hanging on the waist of a man. What a song about a song about who can hold it in his hands, and it will charge forward a hundred times. If the people of the Ming Dynasty are like you, why worry about the sea defense is unstable!"
