Yuan Weitai led Zhang Kentang into the governor's office, bypassed the screen wall and walked through the courtyard.
He walked very slowly, stopping to introduce Zhang Kentang every step he took.
Kentang Zhang was also very patient and listened very carefully.
"I heard that Magistrate Yuan is the clan nephew of Duke Jiehuan Yuan Keli."
Kentang Zhang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
Yuan Weitai was taken aback, calmed down a little and said, "Report to Futai, it is indeed the case."
"Before I came to Dengzhou, I heard about the fact that Magistrate Yuan led the organization of rural warriors to resist Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's rebels.
At first, I was a little surprised, but when I learned that Magistrate Yuan was the nephew of Duke Jiehuan, I no longer thought that Strange."
Zhang Kentang paused for a moment and said: "Gong Jiehuan dedicated his whole life to the Ming Dynasty.
Governor Yuan is also loyal to the country.
The Yuan family is really a loyal minister."
Suddenly being praised by Shangguan, Yuan Weitai quickly responded: "Master Futai, you are ridiculous.
Your Majesty just did what you should do.
Although you can't personally go into battle to kill the bandits, you still have to live up to your own back."
His words came from the bottom of his heart.
That day, Yuan Weitai personally played drums in Dengzhou City to boost morale.
Even though the rebels had already boarded the city, Yuan Weitai was not afraid of danger and regarded death as if it were a Ming Dynasty death festival.
Fortunately, the Tianqi battalion suddenly rushed out like magic soldiers descending from the sky and wiped out all the rebels.
Otherwise, Yuan Weitai might really have died at the top of Dengzhou City.
"Okay, that's good to say.
I'm very pleased to be able to work with Magistrate Yuan."
What Zhang Kentang admires most is people with integrity.
Yuan Weitai's ability to show fearlessness in the face of a powerful enemy is indeed very rare.
As for ability, it's definitely not bad either.
Being able to organize rural warriors to defend the city in a short period of time, how can they be an idle person?
The two of them walked to the hanging flower door in the backyard.
Yuan Weitai cupped his hands and said, "Please rest for a while, I will not disturb you."
Zhang Kentang nodded slightly and said, "Prefect Yuan is interested."
After withdrawing from the governor's Yamen, Yuan Weitai was very happy.
Although he only chatted with Kentang Zhang for a few words, Yuan Weitai felt very opportunistic.
It can be seen that Kentang Zhang, like him, is a person with great ambitions.
The rise of Huang Ming and the resurgence of China not only require wise and powerful heroes like today's emperor, but also loyal and capable ministers.
If the Ming Dynasty is united, why not worry about being unable to wipe out the rogue bandits and defeat the Donglu Yuan Weitai felt his heart surge when he thought of this.
At dusk, Penglai Pavilion.
The entire restaurant was booked today in preparation for Governor Zhang Kentang's reception banquet.
Yuan Weitai tried his best to satisfy Zhang Kentang.
After learning that Zhang Kentang was from Songjiang Prefecture, he specially ordered people to prepare Songjiang sea bass.
Of course, this fish cannot be caught from Songjiang, but the cooking method is authentic Songjiang cooking method.
At this time, Yuan Weitai also notified officials of all sizes in Dengzhou City, and they all waited at Penglai Pavilion.
Governor Zhang Kentang arrived on time, and Yuan Weitai personally pressed the sedan for Zhang Kentang.
After Zhang Kentang got off the sedan, Yuan Weitai and other officials came forward to welcome the governor into the restaurant.
"Xiaguan has booked the entire restaurant.
I don't know which floor Mr.
Futai plans to have the banquet on."
Yuan Weitai bowed slightly and asked very respectfully.

Zhang Kentang took a nap and was in a good state of mind.
He said calmly: "I'm new here, so just listen to Magistrate Yuan."
Yuan Weitai thought for a while and said: "As for the view, the fifth floor is naturally the best.
When you climb up and look far away, you can have a full view of Dengzhou City and the sea."
After Yuan Weitai's outline, Zhang Kentang also wanted to see how wonderful the fifth floor of Penglai Pavilion was.
"Oh, then quickly lead me to Fudeng Pavilion."
"I obey my orders.
Sir Futai please" It's not easy to climb five floors in a row, not to mention that Zhang Kentang is already fifty years old.
When he climbed to the fourth floor, Kentang Zhang was already out of breath.
Yuan Weitai wanted to help him, but Zhang Kentang refused directly.
Zhang Kentang paused and finally climbed to the top of the pavilion.
Yuan Weitai was also very tired.
Although he was only in his forties, his muscles and bones were exhausted due to lack of activities.
The other officials basically put their hands on their hips and gasped for air.
Kentang Zhang saw all this in his eyes and had already made up his mind to start building up the physical fitness of civil servants.
Although civil servants do not have to go into battle to kill the enemy, they cannot be a bunch of sick people.
Otherwise, how can we handle the heavy affairs well?
Restoring the Ming Dynasty cannot be achieved in a day.
You must be in good health to see that day.
However, Kentang Zhang would not bring it up at the banquet.
He had more important things to say.
As the governor, Zhang Kentang sat at the top without hesitation.
As the prefect, Yuan Weitai sat slightly lower.
Other Dengzhou officials also took their seats in order according to their official positions.
After the banquet officially started, Yuan Weitai toasted to Governor Zhang Kentang on behalf of the officials of Dengzhou City as usual.
Afterwards, Kentang Zhang gave a speech, most of which were clichés from the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately for Yuan Weitai, other officials could hear the calluses in their ears, and it went in from the left ear and out from the right ear.
After Zhang Kentang finished speaking, the topic suddenly changed.
He cupped his hands to the south and said loudly: "I am deeply favored by the emperor.
I patrol Denglai for the emperor, so I should devote myself to it.
However, I heard that Denglai Navy In name only, there were almost no warships in the water city a month ago, which is not acceptable.
The imperial court's requirement for me is to train an elite navy within half a year, so I will have some requirements for you."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Kentang glanced at everyone and saw that no one had any objections and continued with great satisfaction: "Prefect Yuan, you have been presiding over the affairs of Dengzhou Prefecture.
Then I will ask you, now Dengzhou Water How many warships are there in the city?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Yuan Weitai, which made him somewhat nervous.
"Reporting to Futai, there are now a total of sixteen sea ships in Dengzhou Water City, including eight large Fu ships and eight large Guang ships.
According to the Ministry of War, more than forty sea ships will arrive in Dengzhou one after another. state."
Yuan Weitai was secretly glad that he had just inspected Shuicheng and had a better understanding of the specific situation.
Otherwise, when Kentang Zhang asked him just now, didn’t he get a black eye and be blinded?
It can be seen that the governor's acting style is vigorous and resolute, and he is never sloppy.
I will have to work more diligently under his old man in the future.
Kentang Zhang nodded.
This is similar to what he learned in Dengzhou Shuicheng.
It seems that Yuan Weitai is indeed a good official who does everything himself.
"Wait another five days.

After five days, all the ships should arrive in Dengzhou.
At that time, I will personally review the naval drill.
I put my words first.
The naval drill must be frequent, at least once every three days
