Since the day before yesterday, Kunshan has been cloudy and rainy, and I have never seen a sunny day.

The dock of the official ship is full of people standing at the moment, and stomping on their feet can make Jiangnan tremble. They waited eagerly, like a flock of geese waiting to be fed, and looked at the lower reaches of the Lou River stupidly.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, everyone finally saw that a snow-white sail shadow appeared in the misty rain curtain.

"It's coming, it's back!" People shouted excitedly. Even the dignified soldiers were ready to say Wu Qing, and their eyes were full of expectation.

The Science slowly sailed into the dock and docked at the pier.

Seeing the bigwigs on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River gathered here, Zhao Gongzi was a little surprised, and hurriedly bowed his hand to greet everyone.

"Childe is finally back." And they saluted him together.

"Bingxian, my husband's ancestor, my heartfelt honor, and my parents, and the old gentleman, why do you welcome you? It's really a small kill. Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly and returned the salute again.

"Zhao Gongzi is the hope of the entire Jiangnan," Wu Qing said emotionally: "Compared to what you want to do for Jiangnan, what is it for us to welcome you?" ”

"Bing Xian's words are heavy." Zhao Hao stepped off the board of the boat steadily, and once again greeted Wu Qing and the two prefects.

"It's raining, let's go back." Then he beckoned everyone to get on the car and get into the sedan car, don't pile up here for people to watch the show.

Wu Qing wanted to invite Zhao Hao to sit in a sedan chair with him. Although Lord Bingxian's eight-lift sedan chair is more than enough for two people, Zhao Hao always feels that something is weird.

Fortunately, his carriage also came, so he invited Wu Bingxian to sit in the same carriage with him. Wu Qing mainly had something to say to Zhao Hao, so he naturally agreed.

~~

On the carriage, Zhao Gongzi first poured Wu Qing a glass of grape wine, and then sank into the sofa and adjusted to the most comfortable posture.

Wu Qing is a little unaccustomed to this kind of soft chair, and he has the heart to learn Zhao Hao's sitting posture, but he feels that it is too unofficial. He straightened his waist and rested half of his ass on the edge of the chair. It looks like a subordinate facing a superior.

Don't look at him like this, in fact, this Wu Bingxian has a lot of background. He is a native of Wuxi and ranked first in the 23rd year of the Jiajing palace examination.

Unexpectedly, when the roll call was announced, when the old fairy of Jiajing heard his name, he actually said, ', how can there be a ruthless champion in the world?' So he demoted him to a flower. As a result, Qin Minglei, who was originally scheduled to explore the flowers, picked up a champion in vain.

In addition, the name of the list at that moment was Qu Jingchun, who was the father of Zhao Hao's new disciple Qu Rukui. and Zhao Hao's elder brother Zhao Jin, who is also in this subject.

In the 40th year of Jiajing, Wu Qing presided over the Nanjing Autumn Festival, and took thirteen Wuxi sons in one go. As a result, the majority of candidates who fell into the first place were dissatisfied, and they wrote limericks to ridicule him, "saying that he is ruthless and affectionate, and he is ranked thirteenth in Wuxi". Although after investigation, no problems were found, he still couldn't stand the criticism and said that he was sick and returned to his hometown.

Wu Qing actually has no official addiction, but he hates the damage to his reputation all his life, and it is difficult to feel at ease.

This time, he re-emerged from the mountain under the recommendation of his fellow villagers in the same year, the purpose of which was to do a career for the people of Jiangnan, wash away the shame of the past, and regain the respect of Sangzi. Therefore, he attaches great importance to Zhao Hao's 'Cao Grain Shipping Plan', once this matter is successful, all those involved will become heroes in Jiangnan's mind.

What's more, he, the Su Song Soldier, is in charge of the military armament and river defense of the two prefectures of Suzhou and Songjiang, and no matter what, he will play an important role in it.

"If we need to do something, just ask." After pondering for a moment, Wu Qing said to Zhao Hao: "This official will fully support you." ”

Zhao Hao nodded, and said politely to him: "This time it is easier to deal with the national policy, it is a contest of hard power, and there must be no opportunistic shortcuts." Later, we will discuss a charter together, make overall arrangements, and work together to make this thing happen. ”

"Hmm." Wu Qing nodded heavily, he agreed with Zhao Hao's opinion, and sighed lightly: "I have thought about it carefully in the past few days, this matter is really difficult and dangerous, and it is beyond measure. The current Cao Governor Zhao Yuquan is the same year that I ascended to the throne together, and I have some friendship with him, this duke has a resolute temperament and will never give in easily. ”

Zhao Hao nodded, he naturally knew about the biggest opposition to the shipping of grain.

"But I can still write to him, be reasonable, and see if I can persuade him to give in." Wu Qing said and sighed: "But I'm afraid that he said it." The real master in Huai'an is still the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the fourth chief soldier of Caoyun! Old Marquis Gu has been fighting horses all his life, he has been out of the town and Guangzhou, and he has fought against the Japanese, and his prestige among Cao Ding is incomparable, and hundreds of thousands of Cao Ding call him 'Grandpa Gu'. If Zhao Yuquan dares to give in, I am afraid that he will be cut by the old marquis. ”

After Wu Qing finished speaking, he felt that he had lost his prestige and increased the morale of others. Hurriedly smiled: "But the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion is in Nanjing, let's see if I can ask Master Xu to help talk about it?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded, and said in his heart that the Gu family was true in Nanjing, but the old marquis looked down on Xu Pengju the most. Xu Bangrui is only afraid that he will not have such a big face.

The two were talking, and the carriage stopped on Xitang Street, in front of the third floor of Kunkaisi. The headquarters of Jiangnan Group in Suzhou has not yet been built, so it can only borrow the site of Kunkaisi for a meeting.

~~

Zhao Hao and the high-level officials of the Jiangnan Group, as well as the officials and gentry on the ground in Jiangnan, this enlarged meeting was held for a whole day.

Finally, under the collective wisdom and efforts, a complete set of strategies was finalized, including the lowest and highest goals, how to achieve them step by step, what problems will be encountered, and how to solve them. And which are enemies, which are allies, which are centrists that can be fought for, which are pawns that can be used, and so on. And assigned tasks to everyone.

In fact, these things have basically been finalized by Zhao Hao and Xu Wei and the old man during the Chinese New Year. The reason why he had to spend time and energy and do it all over again. One is for everyone to go through the decision-making process and inspire their sense of ownership. In this way, they can do their best to do their own thing.

The second is that he doesn't want the Jiangnan gentry to feel controlled by him. This will make these pretentious guys resist themselves from the bottom of their hearts. So to create a state where we are together and manipulate others, so that everybody feels a lot better.

Don't underestimate this feeling, if you don't pay attention, you will bury hidden dangers.

Three, such a big matter, of course, must be collectively decided and collectively responsible. When something goes wrong, don't let Ben Gongzi take the blame alone......

At the end of the day, the participants went back to their respective tasks.

Although Zhao Gongzi's eyelids were heavy and he wanted to sleep, he still didn't go back to the county office, but came to the Jinfeng Garden behind the county government first.

Although the garden is called 'Golden Wind', the east wind comes from here.

ps. The third more, ask for a monthly pass, and there is a more!
