Chapter 684 The next time is set!

Chapter 684 Next time definitely!

In Fujian in May, the weather was already very hot and dry. Fortunately, Ye Chan was very sensible and would send ice to the apricot orchard regularly to cool off the heat. Shen Yi's life was not so difficult.

As the construction work of Fujian's Dusi and Shibosi is on the right track, Shen Yi is not as busy as before. Apart from dealing with some daily affairs of the five guards, most of the rest of the time is spent in Xingyuan, with his son Li Mu. play chess.

Of course, Shen Yi would occasionally go to Langqi Island to see how the progress was going.

But Li Mu refused to go to Langqi Island no matter what.

Time passed day by day, and it was the end of May in a blink of an eye.

Throughout May, Shen Yi's work can be said to be stable, without any major problems.

During this period of time, it is worth mentioning that Liu Mingyuan, a thousand households who set out to attack Zhangzhou Prefecture, returned to Fuzhou around May [-]. In addition to basically eradicating the pirates in Zhangzhou Prefecture, Liu Mingyuan also stayed in Quanzhou Prefecture for ten years. For a few days, I "investigated" the situation of Quanzhou Prefecture to prepare for the future Quanzhou Guard.

There is nothing else worth mentioning.

On May 27th, Shen Yi was still the same as usual. He slept late at home in the morning, and in the afternoon, after finishing his business, he sat with Li Mu under the gazebo in the backyard of Xingyuan and played chess.

Two people are playing chess.

When it comes to Go, Shen Yi is far from Li Mu's opponent, but in chess, the two stinky chess baskets are equal to each other, and they can often play inseparable.

The first game of chess ended with Shen Yi narrowly winning. Master Shen said with a smile while placing the chess pieces: "My son, it seems that he hasn't lived in Xingyuan very much in recent days. Could it be that he has a new place outside?"

Li Mu set up the chess pieces, and said dumbly: "A few days ago, I built a new house outside. I saw that you were busy, so I didn't tell you."

He said with a smile: "You can get out from the southeast after finishing your work this year, and I estimate that you will stay here for two or three years. You can't live here forever."

Shen Yi stopped playing chess and looked at Li Mu.

"How should I put it, my son and I are old friends, why don't you know me when you move?"

"No move, no move."

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "You must inform Ziheng if you move. Didn't you just buy a house? Everything is still in this apricot garden. I was thinking of saying hello to you in the next few days, so I moved there. .”

Shen Yi moved the chess pieces.

"The prince is still rich, so he bought a house when he said that he bought a house. I have been in Fuzhou for so long, and I have not bought any property. This apricot orchard was rented out for me by the newspaper secretary."

"Come on."

Li Mu glanced at Shen Yi, and said with a smile, "You, Shen Ziheng, haven't bought property yet? Then I sent someone to inquire about the Ye family. Although it can't be called the richest man in Fuzhou, it can at least be ranked in the top ten. Such a big family property will be lost immediately. It's in your pocket, Shen Ziheng."

"My son, don't spread rumors."

Master Shen pulled his car out of the cave and coughed: "The Ye family is the Ye family, and I am me. They should not be confused with each other. I did not seek to steal other people's property."

The prince chuckled: "If I were the Ye family, I would like to give you all the family property now, and be next to you, Shen Ziheng, a young Hanlin scholar, who has been rich for at least two generations."

"The prince is talking nonsense again."

Shen Yi corrected: "It's not a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy, but a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy."

On the surface, the Hanlin Bachelor is a fifth-rank official, but the real power is extremely heavy. Most of the time, the Prime Minister of Zhongshu is also in charge. For example, the current Hanlin Bachelor is the Prime Minister of Zhongshu, Xie Xiang.

"It's only a difference of two words, but it's half a grade."

Li Mu smiled and said: "If you go back this year, His Majesty may promote you to be a Hanlin Bachelor."

This sentence was obviously a joke, and Shen Yi said helplessly: "Compared with being promoted to a Hanlin bachelor, the chances of me being promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War are higher."

"Haha."

Li Mu laughed out loud, and bowed his hands to Shen Yi pretendingly: "Then the official will meet Shen Shangshu soon."

"Stop making fun of me."

Shen Yi said helplessly: "To be honest, when I return to Jiankang this year, I don't know what kind of official I can get..."

Shen Yi's promotion is too fast, he is now a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of War, and if he is promoted further up, he is already a third-rank servant.

It is impossible for him to be promoted to servant.

As for other official positions, Shen Yi couldn't think of any official positions that would suit him for the time being.

Li Mu took a shot from Shen Yi and said with a smile: "What do you want to do? These are things that His Majesty should worry about. After you return to Jiankang at the end of the year, you will naturally know."

"Ziheng, you have already done the business in the southeast, and you can say that you have a bright future in the future."

Li Mu said with emotion: "What can restrict you now is the so-called bullshit qualifications."

He snorted and said, "The so-called seniority is just a barrier set up by those old guys for young people in order not to be impacted on their status."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes, and just about to speak, Jiang Sheng trotted all the way to the bottom of the gazebo. He bowed to Li Mu in a very sensible manner, then bowed his head to Shen Yi, and handed a letter to Shen Yi with both hands: "My lord, a letter from Guangzhou Mansion."

Shen Yi put down the chess piece in his hand, took the letter, and said to Li Mu: "Your Majesty, wait a moment. It may be the military report sent by Xue Wei. I want to take a look first."

Li Mu glanced at the situation on the chessboard, and saw that he had the upper hand, one more shot than Shen Yi, so he said with a smile: "You see, it's just that the game will be finished in a while, so you can't just run away."

"Don't worry, son."

While opening the letter, Shen Yi said with a smile: "Isn't it just a game of chess, can you still rely on the prince?"

While speaking, he had already opened the letter. After pulling out the letter paper, he only glanced at it briefly, and Shen Yi's face showed joy.

He stood up and looked at Li Mu, who was sitting opposite him, with an excited expression: "Your Majesty, a great victory in Guangzhou!"

"Our anti-Japanese army Xue Wei's unit defeated the main force of the Japanese pirates in the sea near Guangzhou, killed more than a thousand Japanese pirates, and captured more than a thousand Japanese pirates."

He said with a smile: "Guangdong coast, from now on it's settled!"

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help showing joy. He stretched out his hand to take the letter in Shen Yi's hand. After reading it, he smiled and said, "Although the handwriting is not very good, the content is really interesting."

"Zi Heng."

Li Mu said with emotion: "It took only two years to suppress the Japanese in the southeast, but you really did it."

Master Shen said with a smile: "Your Majesty can be said to be the best."

"Bullshit skills."

Li Mu shook his head and smiled wryly, "I hardly did anything."

"Do not."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "When we first arrived in Zhejiang, it was the prince who led people, and the people from one house to another went south to search the house, and the anti-Japanese army was able to form an army."

"In the past two or three years, although the son did not go to the front line in person, he did not personally lead the troops to suppress the Japanese, but the son was in command publicly, and he withstood a lot of pressure for the anti-Japanese army in the open and in the dark."

"Without a son, the anti-Japanese army will suppress the Japanese while dealing with Shangguan. It may take ten or twenty years before they have a chance to succeed."

"It turns out I'm so important."

Li Mu laughed at himself: "If you scholars can speak, if you don't say that, I can't feel my usefulness at all."

Shen Yi smiled slightly, cupped his hands at Li Mu and said, "Your Majesty, I have to write a reply to Xue Wei as soon as possible, as well as prepare to go south to Guangdong, and write a report on the great victory in Guangzhou to the imperial court."

"I'll stop here today, and when I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll have a good game with your son."

Li Mu was taken aback when he heard this, his expression froze.

He looked at the chessboard.

"At least finish this game..."

"Next time next time."

Master Shen also glanced at the chessboard and smiled.

"Next time I'll let Shizi give me a shot."

"I want you to let me go!"

The Jin Shizi stood up a little angrily.

"That's a good deal! If you win a set, you want to run away!"

Master Shen laughed, folded his hands and left.

Li Mu was so depressed that he sat down angrily and looked at Jiang Sheng beside him.

"Come on, you accompany me to finish this game!"

Jiang Sheng blinked.

"Master, the little one can't..."

"It won't be better."

Li Mu rolled his eyes.

"Your son may not even meet!"
