Because the road was smooth sailing, Sun Shaozong's official boat set off from Datongqiao Pier in the morning, and arrived near the mouth of the Sancha River in Jinmen Prefecture shortly after the noon.
Here to explain by the way, the word 'Tianjin' was given by Zhu Di, the ancestor of Ming Chengzu, meaning 'the place where the emperor crossed Tianjin', in order to commemorate the old incident when he sent his army south to attack Cangzhou Prefecture.
Now that it is the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is naturally no chance for Emperor Yongle to appear, let alone the "Battle of Jingnan".
Therefore, the word 'Tianjin' cannot be mentioned.
In fact, even the name of 'Jinmen Mansion' was after Emperor Guangde succeeded to the throne. Seeing that the place was becoming more and more prosperous due to the intersection of sea and river transport, it was upgraded to a mansion in the second year of Guangde, and named 'Jinmen' ', meaning the ferry and gateway to the capital.
As for the governor's yamen, it was not until the fifth year of Guangde that it was moved from Chengde Mansion.
As a new important town in the north, Jinmen Mansion can be said to be full of vigor, but correspondingly, the management is inevitably a bit loose.
At least the level of clutter on the pier at the mouth of the Sancha River is much worse than that of the Datong Bridge, and it is even more difficult to compare with state capitals such as Yangzhou and Nanjing, which are famous for water transportation.
By the way, the above comments were made after Sun Shaozong stepped on duck shit on the dock.
The book does not go into details.
But he said that after the official ship docked, because Sun Shaozong didn't know how the accommodation was arranged this time, he instructed the accompanying officials and entourage to wait on the ship, and went to the governor's palace alone to hand over the sign.
However, the one who came out to greet him after receiving the news was not an official from the Governor's Mansion, but Zhao Wutong, a fellow acquaintance of Jinmen Mansion.
After chatting with Zhao Wutong, I realized that although the Governor's Office issued an official document to summon officials from all over the country, the task of receiving the reception was handed over to the Minister of Political Envoy Cheng Xuan, and the Chief Envoy turned his face and put it again. The task was assigned to Jinmen House.
"Hey~ Why don't you all say that Sansheng is doing evil and attaching Guo Shengcheng."
Zhao Wutong spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "There are a lot of mother-in-law and grandmother, don't care about what is assigned, we local officials have to carry it."
In fact, this is referring to the county magistrate Fuguo, but it is not impossible to use it in the prefect yamen.
"Master Zhao looked for me to complain, but I found the wrong person."
Sun Shaozong laughed: "Don't forget that there is a sentence behind this: Evil is full, and it is attached to Guo Jingcheng - you are the governor plus two divisions, the mother-in-law on our Shuntian House's head, but there are more lice than beggars! "
While joking, the two left the Governor's Mansion again, and saw that two blue woolen sedan chairs had been prepared outside the gate.
Zhao Wutong gave way to the sedan chair in front of him and said, "Master Sun, please, I have already booked two inns nearby in advance to accommodate all of my colleagues."
Seeing that the sedan chair was not big, there were only two sedan chairmen standing beside it.
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "Since it's not far away, could Brother Zhao accompany me to walk a few steps? It's really inconvenient to sit in a sedan chair at this size."
Zhao Wutong looked at Sun Shaozong's burly figure and knew that what he said was true, so he had to walk side by side with him.
In this way, the reliance of the gong to clear the way is naturally avoided, but the dozens of yamen guards in front and back are even more eye-catching, attracting the eyes of the people in the city, and there are good things pointing and talking.
Seeing this, Zhao Wutong was a little awkward in his behavior and conversation, and he was obviously not used to being watched like this on the road.
Fortunately, the inn is not far from the Governor's Mansion, about half an hour away. When he crossed the threshold of the inn, Zhao Wutong seemed to have unloaded a big stone in his heart, and he chatted and laughed with Sun Shaozong again.
"Actually, I really want to talk about it. From the prefect of the Jinmen mansion to the people of Limin, we all hope that the governor's mansion will be listed as soon as possible."
I thought he said this because he wanted to flatter the Governor's Mansion, but looking at the emotion on his face, it didn't seem to be against his intentions.
So Sun Shaozong asked curiously: "Why is this? The above are the Governor of Zhili and the Governor of Hebei. For your Jinmen House, there shouldn't be much difference, right?"
"Master Sun doesn't know anything."
Although Zhao Wutong is the same as Sun Shaozong, he is of the official rank of the fifth grade, and he is still the second master in the Jinmen mansion, which is slightly better than Sun Shaozong, the third-ranked ruler.
However, Shuntian Prefecture was regarded as a half-capital official after all, and it was much more expensive than ordinary local officials.
In addition, Sun Shaozong is so young, and at a glance, he knows that he must have roots, so Zhao Wutong's words always have a three-point flattery.
He laughed and explained: "From the beginning of the establishment of this dynasty, the four battalions of the capital have often come here to train troops and horses. After the establishment of the Jinmen House in the second year of Guangde, this practice has not been suspended."
"Those arrogant soldiers don't dare to mess around at the feet of the emperor, but they are unscrupulous when they come to our Jinmen mansion, and almost every month has to make some troubles, but we Hebei and they are not under each other's control, it is true It's hard to do."
"Right now, Lord Zhou has been promoted to Governor of Zhili, and he has also taken the title of Minister of War, so it's more justifiable to deal with it."
It turned out that this Jinmen Mansion was actually the place where the fourth battalion in the capital was training troops, but I wonder if Big Brother Cheap had ever come here to train troops.
However, they said that the two were talking eloquently here. Naturally, someone below called the store owner and insisted on letting Sun Shaozong move in.
After only half a sound, the shop owner timidly stepped forward and said with a bitter face: "Master Zhao, the East Crossing Courtyard was occupied at noon. Do you think it is for this Lord, another courtyard..."
"Um?!"
When Zhao Wutong heard this, his face immediately sank.
Although there are the Governor's Mansion and the Sansi Yamen pressing down on it, he is also the second master of the Mansion Yamen. This time, he is acting in the name of the Governor's Mansion. Who would have thought of subletting the inn to others without permission
Especially since this matter is still in front of Sun Shaozong, doesn't this mean that he was thrown into the capital as a shame? !
Therefore, even when Zhao Wutong was annoyed, he threw his sleeves and scolded: "Isn't this guy blinded by silver?! The guest room that this official reserved in advance dares to sublet to others without permission!"
After speaking, he raised his voice again: "Come on, go and blast those things that don't have long eyes to me!"
The innkeeper stomped his feet in a hurry: "Sir, it's impossible, this is absolutely impossible..."
How could those yamen be willing to pay attention to him
Rolling up his arms and sleeves, he went to the backyard to chase people away with iron rulers and street whips.
"What a big breath!"
At this moment, a few majestic men broke out from the backyard, and the first one squinted and sneered: "Our gentlemen were in the governor's mansion, and they were all delicious, delicious and entertaining. This is a bird inn, and it is a special mother's encounter. It's on the stubble!"
As he spoke, he aimed his nostrils at Zhao Wutong and snorted: "This lord is so official, dare to ask if Dusi, Ningtai, and Fantai are in front of him? But I look at the color of the official uniform, why is something wrong? "
Before he finished speaking, the burly men around him all laughed.
On Monday, I routinely ask for rewards and monthly passes.
