"Master, do you really leave without taking your wife and the young master?"

Before boarding the boat, Jian Wangchuan's old servant couldn't help asking. Jian Wangchuan shook his head but didn't say anything, but the moment he stepped onto the springboard, Jian Wangchuan couldn't help looking back and sighed in his heart.

A while ago, Jian Wangchuan, who returned to the capital, stayed in the prison of the Ministry of Justice for a few days. Although he was the governor of the river and in terms of rank, he was also considered a senior official in the court. However, after the Yellow River broke, Jian Wangchuan, who was at the forefront of the storm, was not only forced to resign from the position of governor, but also impeached the court directly entered the judicial process against Jian Wangchuan.

Originally, Jian Wangchuan thought that he would shed his skin even if he did not die. After all, the fact that the Yellow River broke the dam is too great. As the main person in charge, he could not escape the responsibility. Besides, Jian Wangchuan himself was a literati and knew the kind of act of putting in trouble among literati.

Although Jian Wangchuan had a clear conscience at that time, he was still unavoidable. He could only hope that as he thought before entering the capital, Zhu Yicheng, as a wise ruler, would not treat him too much. He seized all positions and even titles in his contributors and demoted him to a commoner.

In Jian Wangchuan's opinion, this may be the best result. But he never expected that Jian Wangchuan would be released after staying in prison for a few days. After that, Zhu Yicheng met him. After the meeting, Zhu Yicheng insisted on not blaming him. On the contrary, he praised his war industry as the governor of the river. At the same time, he also talked about Jian Wangchuan's recommendation of talents, and highly praised Chen Yi and Ji Zengjun whom he recommended.

Now, these two people have been summoned to the capital, and Zhu Yicheng has also met them separately and is extremely satisfied with them.

Among them, Ji Zengjun was directly awarded the title of fourth-rank official by Zhu Yicheng and temporarily served as the governor of the river. As for Chen Yi, he was promoted to the third-rank official, now he has gone from the seventh-rank to the fifth-rank official, and temporarily served as the governor of the river. As for the previous assistant Tang Haoyuan, he still remains in office and assists Ji Zengjun in his full efforts to control the river.

It can be said that Zhu Yicheng basically accepted Jian Wangchuan's previous suggestions and implemented them. This not only surprised Jian Wangchuan, but also admired Zhu Yicheng's wisdom.

Zhu Yicheng also frankly communicated with Jian Wangchuan’s personal issues. No matter what the reason for the Yellow River breaks, it is a big deal after all, not to mention that so many people have died and so many farmland and towns have been flooded.

Jian Wangchuan made contributions and made mistakes, which is understandable. According to the rules and judicial rules of the court, Jian Wangchuan was not an exaggeration to leave his post, and he had to bear other crimes. However, Zhu Yicheng saw that there was a reason for Jian Wangchuan, and he was helpless in doing so. Although the Ming Dynasty prince now violated the law and the common people, Zhu Yicheng still had to protect Jian Wangchuan.

So Zhu Yicheng decided to send Jian Wangchuan to Xinming in the name of exile, so that he could avoid the limelight in Xinming for a few years, and then return to the local area to make another appointment after the limelight. Besides, Jian Wangchuan is a capable official, and Xinming now does need an official like him, so this arrangement is the most appropriate.

According to Zhu Yicheng's plan, Jian Wangchuan could take his family to Xinming with him. After all, he probably had to leave like this for several years, and it was not convenient for his family to be around. However, Jian Wangchuan finally rejected Zhu Yicheng's kindness and decided to go to Xinming alone. As for his family, he still stayed in the local area and entrusts his friends to take care of him.

In this way, Jian Wangchuan only took an old servant who had been following him for many years on the ship to Xinming.

Shortly after boarding the boat, the boat set sail and looked at the gradually distant pier. Although Jian Wangchuan looked calm, his hands clenched slightly fists revealed his attachment to his family.

"Master, the boat is about to enter the sea. Please go back to the cabin." The crew member kindly reminded him when he saw Jian Wangchuan standing on the deck looking at the port.

Jian Wangchuan thanked him and then turned back into the cabin. He was not on a naval warship, because his current identity is no longer a formal court official, so he naturally was not qualified to board a warship again. However, although it was not a formal warship, this new-style commercial clutch is the largest and most comfortable ship between the Ming Dynasty and Xinming.

Moreover, it is not slow, and it is also loaded with cannons and other armed forces. Although Jian Wangchuan has not left the sea, he should know if he was the governor of the river. After being unaccustomed to it for a few days, Jian Wangchuan slowly adapted to it. Jian Wangchuan, who was suitable for it, was not idle either. He usually wore short-drawns with ordinary people and often went on the deck. Through communication with crew members and sailors, he learned a lot about the ocean and Xinming through conversations with them.

It was already the end of recent years when Jian Wangchuan arrived in Xinming. The merchant ship went directly to Sun City to approach the port. Although Jian Wangchuan looked much thinner than when he got on the boat, he was very energetic.

When he arrived at Sun City, Jian Wangchuan stopped for a while, and then took a carriage to Pingyi City, where the Governor's Office was located.

Along the way, the scenery and style of Xinming that was completely different from the Ming Dynasty deeply attracted Jian Wangchuan. Sitting in the carriage, he looked out at the scenery outside, and talked about Xinming's customs and favors with the merchants in the same carriage, etc.

A few days later, Pingyi City arrived.

After arriving at the place, Jian Wangchuan asked about the location of the Governor's Mansion, and then he took his old servant Yibu as a car and slowly looked over. When he was about to arrive at the Governor's Mansion, he saw dozens of riders swiftly passing by him, and the direction he was heading was the Governor's Mansion he was going to.

Jian Wangchuan didn't care when he saw this scene. Xinming is different from the Ming Dynasty. Horses are not rare in Xinming. Xinming, which has a large land and sparsely populated area, has many suitable places for horse herding. In addition, Xinming has no natural enemies of horses. After Western countries first came to this land, they also brought many horses.

As time goes by, some horses that accidentally ran away quickly grew in this continent, forming many wretched horses, and these wretched horses also led to the most important source of Xinming's horses.

Therefore, many ordinary people in Xinming can have horses, not to mention the Ming Dynasty official. On the way from Sun City to Pingyi City, Jian Wangchuan had seen many military or official personnel riding fast horses.

A quarter of an hour later, Jian Wangchuan arrived at the Governor's Office. It was slightly different from the Ming Dynasty. The Governor's Office in Xinming covered a large area, and the style of the buildings was combined with Chinese and Western style, which was somewhat similar to the buildings in Shanghai.
