At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

Looking at Qin Tianye who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, Xia Yun immediately waved his hand.

"No need to be polite."

He came here early in the morning to inspect the progress of the project.

"Thank you, sir!"

Qin Tianye stood up immediately after hearing this.

"Any information on the progress of the project?"

Xia Yun then asked.

"In reply to your Excellency's words, in the past two days, the Construction Bureau has recruited approximately 30,000 workers, and the Master has directly allocated 20,000 people to participate in the city defense expansion project."

"According to the current schedule, it will be completed in 45 days at most."

Qin Tianye responded excitedly.

With the support of a large number of workers and strong financial resources, he greatly advanced his forecast of project progress.

"Very good, the city defense project must maintain its quality."

Xia Yun nodded with satisfaction.

Although the Japanese pirates have not made any moves in recent days, he has a hunch that the day when Zhejiang falls into turmoil is not far away.

After inspecting the city defense expansion project, Xia Yun went to the Hangzhou Shipyard which was under construction and the farmland reclamation plan which was being implemented.

It was not until noon that Xia Yun returned to the governor's office.

However, as soon as he returned to the yamen, he saw Xiao Haiyang who had been waiting for a long time.

"Sir, the court has sent an official letter to Zhejiang, which has been sent directly to the prefectural government office. Please take a look at it."

As soon as Xiao Haiyang saw Xia Yun coming back, he hurried over and handed a official letter to Xia Yun.

Xia Yun was slightly surprised.

Logically speaking, Xiao Haiyang should handle the official letter sent by the court to the prefectural yamen himself and there was no need to show it to him.

But when Xia Yun opened the sealed envelope and took out the official letter, he immediately understood what was going on.

It turned out that after he sent the former Zhejiang Governor Zuo Anning to death row, the court had not appointed a new Zhejiang Governor for some time.

This official letter sent by the court was drafted by the empress herself, asking Xia Yun if he had any candidates to recommend.

It’s just that the official letter was sent to the wrong place. It was not sent directly to the governor’s office, but to the prefect’s office.

"Go call Wan'er over."

Xia Yun looked at the official letter, pondered for a moment, and finally turned to look at Chong Heihu.

Not long after, Chong Heihu brought Xu Wan'er, who was handling various engineering matters, to Xia Yun.

"My Lord, what is the matter?"

Xu Wan'er came to the lobby and found Xia Yun's expression very serious. She thought something had happened.

Unexpectedly, what Xia Yun said next surprised her on the spot.

"Wan'er, I have decided to recommend you to the court as the governor of Zhejiang. What do you think?"

In front of Xu Wan'er, Xia Yun expressed his thoughts.

As for the position of Zhejiang Provincial Governor, Xia Yun really couldn't think of a better candidate except Xu Wan'er.

According to the regulations of the Daliang Dynasty, although the governor was the highest civil official in a province, the specific affairs of the people's livelihood on a daily basis were handled by the provincial governor.

Now in Zhejiang, Xu Wan'er is also shouldering this responsibility.

If an official who is completely unknown to the government were to suddenly come to Zhejiang to serve as the provincial governor, not to mention whether it would cause trouble, he would probably not be able to convince the public with his qualifications.

"Sir...I...I am just a girl."

Hearing this, Xu Wan'er was both happy and surprised. She was happy that the adults valued her, but she was surprised that in the hundreds of years of history of the Daliang Dynasty, there had never been a precedent of a woman serving as a provincial governor.

After searching through the history books of the Daliang Dynasty, I have never even heard of a woman serving as an official.

"So what if you're a girl? The current emperor is also a girl, but he still became the emperor of the Liang Dynasty. Master, I support you."

Chong Heihu spoke at this time, and his words were full of encouragement.

In fact, it's not just him. If Jiang Wenzhong and Qin Tianye were present, they would also support Xu Wan'er like him.

Over the years, Xu Wan'er has demonstrated her ability and loyalty through her actions.

For the generals coming out of Dai County, Xu Wan'er's status is even higher than Qin Tianye, second only to Xia Yun.

"You are right. Girls can still hold up half the sky. Wan'er, if you are willing, I will write a letter in my own hand and send it to the court."

Xia Yun looked at Xu Wan'er with a very gentle gaze.

"I...will!"

After some mental struggle, Xu Wan'er finally gave an affirmative answer, with a look of determination in her eyes.

Being an official or not is not important to her, but since everyone trusts her, she will spare no effort to fight for it!

"it is good!"

Xia Yun made the final decision. He had already prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started to write the book right away!

......

Time flies and two days pass.

Capital city, the imperial palace.

"The front line sent a battle report yesterday. Zhili Governor Zhao Gongming personally led an army of 100,000 to Changchun and officially repelled the Tatars' siege army."

"In addition, the Ninth Prince Xiao Yan led 40,000 cavalrymen to break into Mobei, forcing the enemies besieging Shenyang to retreat to Mobei. Now the crisis in Shenyang has been resolved."

In the main hall, the current cabinet chief, Xu Jinsong, was holding a memorial in his hand, reporting military affairs to the empress sitting on the dragon throne.

After hearing the report, the gloomy look on the empress's face that had been there for days finally eased.

"Send a message to Zhao Gongming. After the victory, leave 20,000 troops to garrison and continue to join Xiao Yan to annihilate the enemy retreating to Mobei from Shenyang."

The empress spoke the order.

Half a month ago, the news of the sudden invasion of the Tatars caused great panic in the capital.

Now, the Tatars should be asked to repay some interest.

"The minister obeys the order."

Xu Jinsong nodded, then closed the memorial regarding military affairs and took out several other memorials.

"Your Majesty, I have a few more memorials here that require your personal decision."

Xu Jinsong continued to speak, his voice very respectful.

"read."

The empress nodded.

After getting the empress's consent, a series of words came out of Xu Jinsong's mouth.

"On the evening of August 26, we received a letter from Zhou Yunyi, deputy director of the Jiangnan Weaving General Administration, impeaching Zhejiang Governor Xia Yun for 13 serious crimes including deceiving the emperor and abusing power, oppressing the people, etc. We respectfully request Your Majesty to make a judgment."

"On the evening of August 26, we received a letter from Xia Yun, the governor of Zhejiang Province, impeaching the Jiangnan Weaving General Administration for nine serious crimes, including corruption, accepting bribes, and oppressing Hangzhou officials. I respectfully request your majesty to make a judgment!"

"On the evening of August 26, we received a letter from Zhang Wentian, the retired Minister of Rites of Hangzhou, impeaching Xia Yun for being tyrannical and arresting hundreds of scholars in Hangzhou without reason. We respectfully request Your Majesty to make a judgment!"

"On the evening of August 26, we received a letter from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, impeaching Zhejiang Governor Xia Yun for rebellion and the murder of three eunuchs and 27 guards of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau. Your Majesty is requested to make a ruling!"

"On the evening of August 26, we received a letter from Xia Yun, the governor of Zhejiang, requesting Your Majesty to abolish the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and stating that Zhejiang could supply the court with 300,000 rolls of silk and 300,000 rolls of cotton cloth every year for free."

In just a few tens of seconds, Xu Jinsong read out a large number of memorials about Hangzhou, Zhejiang in one breath!
