As the shouts came from the fast boat, the people at the dock chose to forget Sun Hua, the person who had just spoken rudely. They all looked at the sea behind the fast boat. Unfortunately, all they could see was seawater.
Sun Hua, who had been forgotten, quietly wiped the sweat on his hand on his clothes. He began to feel curious again. His eyes followed the workers on the dock, but they were blocked by the mast.
"Father, you should take office quickly. After the handover, you will be the Provincial Governor here, the highest official. You don't have to worry about others disrespecting you."
The child gently touched his father with his hand and gave a sensible idea.
Sun Hua's father, Weiwei, was stunned. He regretted speaking too confidently to his son just now. After hesitating, he finally decided to teach his son to be an honest person and not to talk nonsense.
"My son, you don't know. This is Lu Zhou, an extraordinary place. Even if I take office, if I speak ill of Zhang Zhong, I will still cause trouble. Judging from that person's shouts just now, Lu Zhou must have something new. Wait a moment. Maybe there will be more benefits."
When the child heard that there was something good, his eyes blinked. He remembered what his father had said earlier and asked again, "Father, why can't I speak ill of Zhang Zhong? Didn't he go to Luoyang to retire? "
"Shh, lower your voice. He has nothing to do in Luoyang for the time being, but his son and daughter-in-law have something to do. Zhang Xiaobao is about the same age as you, but he is the Provincial Governor of Ji Li Province. He is slightly inferior to me in terms of rank, but his power is greater than mine. The reason why his rank is inferior is because Zhang Zhong made Lu Zhou an upper province.
It is said that this place is under the control of the imperial court, but it is actually the territory of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. I'm only here to stay for a year. When I leave office, I will return to the capital and get a lot of money. If you want to talk about idleness, I am. You have to work hard. "
Sun Hua was finally willing to tell the truth. He was worried that if he did not let his son understand the situation, he would say or do something wrong when he went out for a stroll. If so, his career would become very bumpy.
The child was really smart. After hearing his father's words, he rolled his eyes and said excitedly, "Father, I have an idea. The Emperor certainly doesn't know that Lu Zhou only listens to the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. Otherwise, how could he let them go?
I will write a letter and tell this matter to the Emperor in the name of my father. When the time comes, Zhang Xiaobao will definitely be implicated. I have meritorious service, maybe I can take over his position and be the Governor of Jili Province. I don't believe that I can't do what he does. "
"Aiyo, my little ancestor, give up on this thought. You are not allowed to think about it in the future. This is not the way to be an official. It's good that you are not convinced, but you have to figure out why he is so good. Is the Provincial Governor something you can be? Do you know what the provincial governor is supposed to do?
Not to mention the Provincial Governor, even if I give you a secretary, you can't figure it out. There is only one Zhang Xiaobao in the Tang Empire. He was born with knowledge. If you really have the ability, I can also retire. If you still want to use that kind of conspiracy, I won't care about you anymore. Your brother is also not bad. "
Sun Hua was almost scared to death. After saying a lot, he looked at his son and sighed with emotion. The ignorant were fearless. How could Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan be compared with people of the same age?
Not to mention people of the same age, even people who were a few generations older than them could not deal with them. How did the previous official get promoted? It was because Zhang Shuo had offended the two of them. As a result, the security of Xinyuan Province, which was originally very strict, was slightly lax. It was so lax that anyone who did not help would feel sorry for himself.
Thus, the previous official could not resist the temptation and reached out. Not only did he lose his position, he also implicated Zhang Shuo. This showed that when it came to politics, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could contend with the Prime Minister and even take advantage of him.
"Remember, remember, don't reach out, don't reach out," Sun Hua muttered. It was unclear whether he was saying this to his son or to himself.
The child was still a little unconvinced, but he was worried that his father would not help him, so he became much more obedient.
While the father and son were conversing, the shadows of sails finally appeared on the path behind them. Sun Hua used his Thousand Li Eye and saw twelve large ships that he had never seen before appear in his field of vision.
Filled with curiosity, Sun Hua did not mention the matter of disembarking. The main reason was that the springboard had been removed. If he mentioned it now, it would cause the two dockside helpers to recall what had just happened.
Through the Thousand Li Eye, the ships did not seem very far, but it took a full hour for them to reach the docks.
The crackling sounds of firecrackers resounded throughout the docks. The people on the ships cheered and waved their hands vigorously, giving off a festive feeling.
Sun Hua thought for a moment, then fished out a string of copper coins from a hidden pocket in his sleeve. He shouted at a person not too far away and tossed the money in a line.
"This little brother, may I ask what ship this is?" Sun Hua asked curiously.
Perhaps it was because the return of the fleet made him happy, but that person reached out and caught the money. For the time being, he did not think about what Sun Hua had just said. While looking at the ships gradually approaching the docks, he introduced them to Sun Hua.
"A fleet heading south. When we left, there were twelve ships. When we returned, there were still twelve ships. I wonder what they are carrying. This time, Governor Zhang will definitely be very happy. Back then, it was Governor Zhang who came up with the idea of going south to take a look and bring back some good things. Now, it has finally succeeded."
"Is it easy to go south? What could be on the ships? "Sun Hua asked again.
"If it was easy to go, then it wouldn't have been a year and a half. The ships are naturally filled with treasures. Perhaps the new governor will have other thoughts and be dealt with."
The person on the docks tossed the copper coins in his hand as he spoke casually.
"No, definitely not. The new governor is not stupid. Even if twelve ships were filled with gold, the new governor would not want them. He would just treat them as iron plates plated with copper." Sun Hua assured with certainty.
"Oh, that's a pity. I haven't seen Governor Zhang for a long time. I originally wanted to get a few more governors and send Governor Zhang over when the imperial court has no more appointments." The person on the docks continued to speak the truth, not hiding anything at all.
Sun Hua couldn't help but tremble. He no longer spoke.
The child beside him took back the Thousand Li Eye and looked toward the ship. Suddenly, he pointed at a person on the ship and asked with joy and curiosity, "What is that hanging on that person's body? It looks like a big cat, but also like a small bear. It's alive and can move its eyes. Father, I want one for sister. I wonder where they got it. It's very interesting. "
