Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 14: Seeking an official


When Wufeng was still intoxicated with Lin Yuexin's friendship, accompanied by Wang Liao, Angel also officially left Beijing, entered Hejian from Jinzhong, and went south to Hanzhong via Tianshui. , as the first stop in western Xinjiang, Bai Yuanzhong, the governor of Hejian City, used to be Fang Chengsong's punctual deputy director of the Finance Department of Hejian City. The county governor Tan Keren's cronies took over the Hejian mansion. Although the time was short, they squeezed out and made things difficult for Fang's people. Living in seclusion, although he tried every means to help his old boss, but he was worried that it would be counterproductive, so he had to manage the Taiping Army prison officials and take care of his old boss until the Western Frontier Army entered Hejian and Fang Chengsong regained power.

After Fang Chengsong became the governor of Kansai, because the governor of Kansai was in charge of the Hejian Tianshui Second Mansion, Fang Chengsong first came to repay his care for him when he was down and down, and secondly, he recommended Bai Yuanzhong To Xiao Tang, the director of the Administration Department, who was finally appointed as the city guard of Hejian. Although Bai Yuanzhong admired the character of his old boss, he was more tactful and flexible than Fang Chengsong in dealing with people.

Since he took office, he has focused on improving law and order and resettling the refugees. He also conducted drastic auctions for a large number of unowned land after the Taiping Army poisoned him. He obtained funds to improve and repair roads and farmland water conservancy facilities. At the same time, he was quick-witted, figured out that the high-level officials in Xijiang intended to support the industrial and commercial forces, and took advantage of Hejian's geographical advantages to restore local agricultural production. At the same time, he actively guided the imperial capital's industrial and commercial forces to invest in Hejian, and Hejian became the entire city. The prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Kansai has the most rapid development momentum. In addition, Hejian was originally the capital of Heshuo County. The basic conditions are good, the agriculture is developed, and it is also an important production area of ​​economic crops tung oil/lacquer. The economic strength has recovered rapidly. In Montenegro When Longquan and the victims of the Kaman sweep were exodus, Bai Yuanzhong recruited the local gentry to resettle the victims, raised money and food, and provided relief to the refugees. Even the Government Administration Department highly appreciated these measures of the Hejian government.

The previous assessments of Hejian by the Kansai Governor's Mansion are also excellent. Even Fang Chengsong himself is quite proud of a subordinate like Bai Yuanzhong. The performance of the government, Fang Chengsong also thinks that it is enough to explain to the government affairs department.

The car was rattling and rattling. After the train team passed the Hejian Mansion, there was an additional army escort. It can be seen that the farmers are busy in the fields, and the caravans coming and going are also in an endless stream. It is just a little surprised to see this convoy escorted by the army. However, with the return of the refugees to their homeland and the relief food and supplies in western Xinjiang, there are not many refugees wandering outside, and the official road between Hejian and Tianshui has always been calm, even if the city guard personally patrols, at most Bring a few people, no matter where there is such a convoy, they all stop and watch.

The woman sitting in the carriage obviously also felt this kind of gaze. Since she came from Jinzhong, since she was traveling lightly, although no one knew her identity, she was still worried about accidents. Fortunately, there were no troubles on the way. It was entering the territory of Xijiang, which made me a little uneasy.

"Mi'er, please go and invite Lord Wang Liao to come over and ask him if he can let these **** troops go back. It's broad daylight on the official road, and nothing happened in Jinzhong. Could something happen here? What's wrong?" Putting down the curtain, the girl leaned on the brocade mat and said lazily.

"Miss, the servant girl has already asked Mr. Wang, and he said that although there is no problem during the day, it is difficult to get to the big town to rest today, and you can only arrive at Tianshui Fucheng tomorrow night. Some small market towns, although this western border has always been clean and peaceful, I am afraid of something unexpected, especially if something happens at night." The girl sitting on one side is looking out of the window on the other side with great interest. The beautiful scenery of the fields makes this rare She was dizzy in the imperial capital, and even if her master asked questions, she still didn't want to turn around.

"Damn girl, are you thinking of spring? You can't bear to blink your eyes when you look at something?" While laughing and scolding herself, a girl who is a little spoiled and arrogant, she is also thinking about something. Covering her curvaceous body, she wore a fuchsia Tang-style dress, with gorgeous peony flowers blooming on her chest, but her golden hair was slightly pulled into a big bun, and she was wrapped in a black silk hook hairnet. Covering it up, the slender pink neck is extraordinarily white and tender.

"Hehe, I'm afraid the miss is talking about herself, I'm afraid the uncle is waiting for you in Hanzhong." Cuiyi maid is not afraid of her master, and even intentionally teases him, "Miss came this time, also I don’t know when I’m going back to the capital, so I’m really reluctant?”

"Silly girl, who said we won't go back? This time it's also Wufeng who has something to go to the imperial capital, so we want us to take care of his house." The girl in Tang suit is naturally Angel, wearing a Tang suit on her body, It even outlines her plump and fit body in a bumpy and attractive way, and she had to add a fashionable dress to cover it up.

"Guarding the house? My uncle went to the imperial capital, why did you ask Miss to go and see the house? Wouldn't it be better for the young lady to wait for my uncle in the imperial capital?" The green-clothed servant girl called Mi'er asked a little confused.

"Well, I can't explain these two sentences clearly. The people under him are always worried and want someone to sit in charge." An Qier subconsciously shook a silk fan embroidered with the pattern of a lady in palace attire. , as if thinking about something.

"Oh, I understand. This time, my uncle has been in the imperial capital for a long time, right? There has been no one making decisions in this house for a long time, and I am afraid that the young lady will make decisions for him. But isn't the seventeenth princess also in Xijiang? It seems that the uncle seems to be a little worried about the Seventeenth Princess, and the young lady is the most caring to him, so let him be more at ease." The clever servant girl guessed the key in the middle, although she didn't know the joint in the middle , but she can be sure of one thing, the significance of the young lady's visit to Xijiang this time is not trivial, which means that the uncle intends to reveal the identity of the young lady to the outside.

Naturally, Angel also knows the key points. Wufeng himself wants to go to the imperial capital to fight wits and courage with the third son of Situ. Take control of the overall situation. If there is any emergency, let alone other things, even a delay will lead to unimaginable consequences. However, inviting myself to sit in Xijiang, no matter what the meaning revealed in the middle, makes Angel very proud. It is absolutely assured that this decision will be made.

"Okay, stop guessing there, Mi'er, go and invite Mr. Wang to my carriage. I have something to talk to Mr. Wang." Lightly knocked the Cuiyi servant **** the head with a round fan, Angel smiled.

"Oh, the lady broke Mier's bun. It took Mier all morning to comb it." Mier complained, and ordered the driver to slow down, while she got out of the car to let someone To notify.

Walking quickly to the front of the carriage, Wang Liao hesitated. Sitting face to face in the carriage like this seemed inappropriate. Wang Liao is not a timid person, but his words are formidable, and it is not easy to get to this step , he didn't want to affect his career because of a moment of inattention.

"Lord Wang, please come up. Could it be that you are afraid of something, not even me, so are you still afraid of people's words?" Angel's sweet words made Wang Liao feel relieved. The people around heard this sentence, and Wang Liao's heart was relieved a lot.

The wind blew past the window and rolled up the brocade curtain. Wang Liao looked at his nose and his heart, and sat solemnly opposite Angel. "My lord, I'm afraid I'm going to enter the territory of Tianshui?"

"Uh~IndoMTL.com~ I'm afraid it's still a long way to go, at least I'm afraid I won't get to the edge of Tianshui until evening. The road surface has been repaired a lot now. Half a year ago, this road was still bumpy." The padded carriage springs made the journey much easier and more comfortable, which was the deepest feeling for Wang Liao who has been traveling for a long time.

"Well, so this city guard of Hejian is quite capable? I saw that when I was with you last night, Mr. Bai Yuan Chongbai was very talented, and he was quite flattering. I thought he was just a disciple. The tongue-twisting fellow, I have been walking all the way today, and I saw that there is almost no waste in this field, and the ditches and sills are very bare. It seems that this city guard has put some effort into agriculture. You again Said, it seems that Master Bai Yuan Chongbai also has some ideas." The girl glanced at Wang Liao's bright eyes.

Wang Liao sighed in his heart, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of official affairs, but since the other party asked about it, if he thought it would be difficult to explain why it is difficult to evade, secondly, this Bai Yuanzhong is indeed quite talented People, the feast and hospitality last night, although it is to welcome the future hostess, but the eagerness in the conversation cannot be hidden from the two people in the carriage.

"Uh, mistress, Bai Yuanzhong's heart can't escape your eyes. He is an old subordinate of Governor Fang Chengsong. Jian Chengshou did his best afterward, and managed the Hejian Mansion in an orderly manner in a short period of time, he can be regarded as a practical veteran." Wang Liao was also considering how to keep Bai Yuanzhong's intentions calm and said. A person who understands and can avoid the suspicion of playing the trumpet for others, this woman in front of her is not a master who is easy to hide, and she will leave a negative impression if she is not careful, "Of course Bai Chengshou's words yesterday are a bit taboo, but the meaning is sincere. But this person is indeed a talent."
