The job of the Inspector Censor was rarely directly assigned to the new Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the time, the Inspector Censor was the second official with outstanding political achievements and the third official with outstanding achievements, which means that it will only be promoted at least three or six years after taking office. This must be appreciated and promoted by someone in the court. The reason is very simple. The Inspector Censor is of a low position and has a high position. Compared with the Supervisor Censors in the Two Kyoto Censors, the status is quite good. Otherwise, how could there be the Eight Inspector Censors holding the Sword of Shangfang in the opera and corrupt officials who were afraid of it?

For Wang Fulin, he pinched his fingers and calculated that he now had more than eight prefectures, but ten prefectures inspectors. The Guangdong Provincial Administration Office is under the jurisdiction of Chaozhou Prefecture, Nanxiong Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, Guangzhou Prefecture, Shaozhou Prefecture, Zhaoqing Prefecture, Gaozhou Prefecture, Leizhou Prefecture, Qiongzhou Prefecture, and Lianzhou Prefecture.

In the huge Guangdong Provincial Administration, he had only seventh ranks, but he had no direct superiors. Even the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was only under the control of the governor. Even the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was only under the name of the Constitution of the Censorate, and could not be too domineering in his identity as a superior. Even the chief minister of the Commissioner of the People's Republic of China had to be supervised by him, let alone the vast prefectures and county magistrates. Because the so-called inspection was to inspect the emperor, to make decisions on major matters, to make decisions on small matters, to follow the name of punishment, money, grain, education, warehouses, and schools, and to reduce the number of imperial envoys.

However, although the power of the inspector's censor is very high, most of the time for one term is short. Even though local officials now implement the law of long-term office, the inspector's censor's court is still rotated for a year, so as not to act as a mighty local and become an old man who has long been overwhelming the local officials. But in general, such a good job without a boss is what most Jinshi dream of, except for the Hanlin Academy Shujishi, and now, this job has fallen from the sky and hits Wang Fulin's head, who has long expressed his intention to enter the Censor's Office.

He really wanted to continue resigning, but his sister and brother-in-law who lived in Fucheng brought him a very bad news. That is, the Southern Zhili Censor had already arrived at the Fucheng Censorate. He already knew that he was in the excuse of recuperation in the hometown and did not recuperate at home after he arrived in Huizhou Prefecture, but ran around. In other words, if he dared to resign, the lie would be exposed in minutes. What's more, taking office has a deadline. Huizhou Prefecture is thousands of miles away from Guangzhou. If he doesn't set off, he will miss the date. Then wait for his head to be attacked by some people who are ready to fight against each other!

The situation was stronger than the people. After weighing it over and over again, Wang Fulin had no choice but to accept the appointment. He just didn't want to go to the Censorate, but Guangdong had wanted to go there for a long time. After all, he was interested in Portugal, which is the group of red-haired devils called Folangji, which occupied Macau for a long time. He urgently counted the manpower, and in addition to the people in the escort agency such as Li Erlong, he also brought Wang Siming. Even the group of Cang Yongli, the chief clerk of the Huizhou Prefecture Rice Industry Guild, trained for him by the veterans of the Qi family, also transferred four people.

In addition, he spoke to the heads and heads of the sixth house of the third and sixth house of the She County Yamen, asking them to pick and read from their children and nephews, but there was no room for the official staff, so he hired four more followers. This trip to Guangdong, the mountains and roads were far away, and he was not familiar with the place, so he was always right to bring more people in both civil and military affairs.

As for Xiaobei, although Wang Daoyun and Wu both hoped that he would take him with him, the couple would work hard to have a son and a half daughter, but the inspector and the censor were no more than other officials. In principle, it was not allowed to bring his family. However, the couple had never been separated, and Wang Fulin also wanted to do some private work secretly when he was traveling to Guangdong. Therefore, he still told Xiaobei to wait for a while and settle the two elders in the family and Jin Baoqiufeng first, and then go to Guangdong quietly.

As for the people who followed Xiaobei, he asked his wife to call Ye Qinglong and choose an agent to accompany him. It would be easier to contact the Folang Jiren at that time, and at the same time to launch certain businesses there. For this reason, he asked Ye Qinglong to withdraw the working capital on the books, and he redeemed 200 taels of gold to carry on himself. He also told Xiaobei to prepare more silver and money. After all this was made, he set off immediately.

For Wang Fulin, who is in She County, although the journey to Guangdong is long, it is really a Jiangxi governor. His group traveled west through Xiuning, Qimen and entered Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi, and then went south from Jingdezhen, through Fuzhou Prefecture, Jianchang Prefecture, Ganzhou Prefecture, and finally entered Guangdong from Nan'an Prefecture. Because he had many followers, he knew that Zhang Juzheng had already started to rectify the inns and stationed at a long time. He was not short of that little money anyway, so he did not stay at the inns and hostels at all. He only chose to stay in the inns and hostels with clean environments, even if he understood the customs and customs.

Almost from the moment he entered the country and arrived in Baochang County, Nanxiong Prefecture, Guangdong, everyone immediately experienced the baptism of completely different dialects. Wang Fulin thought of the former Nanhai County Magistrate Huang Jingqi, who had met when he was responsible for receiving guests at Wang Daokun's house. At that time, he secretly complained that the other party had not learned Cantonese dialect for three years when he took office in Guangdong. Now it was his turn to come to Guangdong. It was a turn of feng shui. This year he came to himself. The only advantage was that he had listened to Cantonese songs in later generations, lived in Guangdong for another year, and learned Cantonese. Daily conversations were absolutely no problem, but now he still had to pretend not to understand in front of his followers.

Otherwise, how could he explain that he had never been to Guangdong but could speak Cantonese?

Fortunately, after receiving the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Daoyun asked various companies and found Chen Atian, a guide who was familiar with Guangdong and could speak fluent Cantonese dialect for Wang Fulin. As soon as he entered Guangdong, Chen Atian, who seemed very unpresented before, used his skills. Whether he stayed in a stay, played the lead or asked for directions, he all relied on this person, and everyone else became mute. With the encouragement of Wang Fulin, everyone from him was learning Cantonese, that is, Cantonese dialect from Chen Atian, so that he would not be able to move forward in the future.

On this day, I arrived at Qujiang County, Shaozhou Prefecture. Most of the inns and hostels were full. It was Chen Atian who asked me that tomorrow would happen to be the Lingbei Road scientific examination. This was also the last scientific examination. Next was the relic of Guangzhou City. Qujiang County was quite prosperous, and there were many inns and hostels, but the scholars who took the exam in various prefectures and counties and their family members gathered, so there were not enough places to live.

At this moment, Wang Fulin and others who had been settled in an inn that I had finally found were sitting in the empty lobby. In sharp contrast to the empty rooms in the inn, they were sitting casually. It was obviously time to have dinner, but they didn’t meet the guests here. They were all scholars taking the exam in the room to prepare for the final sprint. Wang Fulin was thinking about drinking tea, and Li Erlong, who was beside him, couldn’t help asking: “Chen Atian, this Qujiang County looks quite small, and when he entered the city before, he said that Qujiang is the intersection of the two official roads from Guangdong to Jiangxi and Huguang. Why did you say that Shaozhou Prefecture is ranked very low among the ten prefectures in Guangdong?”

Chen Atian used to go to Guangdong to run a business with a Hui merchant in She County. Now, he has been recommended by someone to follow a patrol like Wang Fulin, so he naturally cherishes the opportunity very much. Even if the person asked was Li Erlong or Wang Fulin, he still said in a singular manner, "The richest ones in Guangdong are naturally Guangzhou Prefecture, and the next ones are Chaozhou Prefecture, Gaozhou Prefecture, Zhaoqing Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, Qiongzhou Prefecture and Shaozhou Prefecture, then they have to be classified as third-rate. The poorest ones are Lianzhou Prefecture, Leizhou Prefecture, and Nanxiong Prefecture. You think Qujiang City is prosperous, and when you arrive at Guangzhou Prefecture, compare the Nanxiong Prefecture and Shaozhou Prefecture we pass by, you will know the level of the difference."

"In the largest prefectures in the southeast of our city, such as Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Suzhou, and the prefectures are divided into two counties, and Guangzhou Prefecture is also divided. With Guidemen as the boundary, Nanhai County is the west and Panyu County is the east. Half a mile outside the city is the Zhujiang River, and there will never be fewer ships coming and going than Hangzhou. It is said that there will be one or two thousand ships at the same time. Of course, there are paradises above and Suhang below. Today, Guangzhou is still worse than Suzhou and Hangzhou, but it is only a little bit, but the Folang Ji people that often appear here are rarely seen in the southeast."

Of course, Wang Fulin knew that the reason why Guangzhou became the pearl of the South China Sea in later generations was due to its special advantage as a trading port. At this moment, the whole world is Yuegang, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian. However, because Guangzhou is close to Macau, there are hundreds of merchants, it is only slightly inferior to Suzhou and Hangzhou. This is already rare. You should know that Shanghai is just a small county town at this moment, and Shenzhen is even a fishing village! So, at this moment, Li Erlong, Zhao Sanmazi and others asked Chen Atian with great interest. He sat there and listened and drank tea until several servants entered the inn.

When he saw the outfit of Wang Fulin and his group, he came over to interrogate. Chen Atian, the "only" who speaks Cantonese, naturally rushed forward to deal with it. On the surface, he seemed to be nothing, but in fact, he was listening with his ears and listening, and generally understood the content of their conversation, and he raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

"Aren't you scholars here to take the exam? The Grand Master of Tixue said that this time, there are six or seven hundred scholars who come to take the exam in the entire Lingbei Road. The inn must first ensure that the scholars live. If you live, you will live. If there are children and no place to stay, you have to squeeze in and make a place for them."

"Yes, we will stay for a few nights and leave tomorrow. But tomorrow is the time for the scientific examination. How could a scholar not come so late yet?"

"It's such a big place in Lingbei Road, those scholars living in the village may arrive late with just two legs. In short, you can just listen to the instructions of the Grand Master."

It was probably something that Shangfeng urgently told me, and the officer rushed to give instructions to the inn shopkeeper again, and then left in a hurry. When he left, Wang Fulin was a little curious about the Guangdong Tixue who had not met yet. At least, it was rare to think about the residence of the scholar before the examination. However, because he was still in Ningbo when the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel were sent, he had a lot of time to stay in Qujiang for a long time to investigate the character or knowledge of the great master of Tixue. After dinner, he went to bed early.

It was not until the next morning that he learned that there was a young scholar who stayed in the night. Li Erlong and others were sleepy and asked him a bed for him, but before dawn, they hurried to Shaozhou Prefecture Academy for the exam.

Since he was in a hurry, and after passing Shaozhou Prefecture, he walked 400 miles south to Guangzhou, Wang Fulin had no time to ask about the results of this scientific expedition, so he set off immediately with his men. Finally, he arrived at Guangzhou City on the penultimate day before the limited date, and entered the city from the north to the north and headed straight for the inspector. Because the inspector's censor did not have subordinate officials like the two departments of Buzhang or the prefecture and county magistrate, but like the governor and the governor, they were all commanders alone, so there was no such thing as the subordinates to attend. Wang Fulin presented the appointment documents of the Ministry of Personnel to the former inspector's censor. The two handed over the letter and seal, and the inspector's office had a new owner.

As the two branches of the procuratorate quietly delivered letters to various places, the news that the new Guangdong Inspector Wang Fulin took office was spread to major yamen.

Because the duties of the inspectors and the inspectors were originally to serve as the emperor's patrols, all the ten prefectures and cities in Guangdong had inspectors. The inspectors in Guangzhou were just a little more generous in terms of regulation. Compared with the governors, the inspectors, the Lingnan Road, the Guangzhou Prefecture, the Nanhai and the Fanyu County Government, it seemed very inconspicuous, but this did not damage the influence of the owner of the yamen on the entire Guangdong officialdom. In the past, when the governors were established in Guangdong, the governors' yamen was also located in Guangdong, but since the position was cut off during the Longqing period, because the governors' yamen in Guangdong was in Zhaoqing, the inspectors' yamen were even more uncontrollable in Guangzhou.

The news of the capital was sent, and the whole country asked about the new inspector a lot. He learned that Wang Fulin had been the first official and was the inspector's censor, and his uncle was the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Many officials had slandered and secretly scolded the big men in the court for being nepotism. When a well-informed person dug out the glorious achievements of Wang Fulin causing the Censorate's Censorate, the discussion came to an abrupt end. However, seeing that Wang Fulin's term of office was in the countdown, the people had not come for a long time. Thinking of Wang Fulin's previous resignation and even returned home due to illness, many people still believed that Wang Fulin would not be able to refuse this time.

But just as the deadline was approaching, people came! But no one in the yamen of Guangzhou, big and small, knew the temper of the new inspector. In addition, Wang Fulin was so young that he was so young that no one could understand what specifications or attitudes he should use to treat the new inspector. In the end, the Guangdong Provincial Administration secretly sent a message, saying that he would not invite him, not visit him, not invite him, and ignore him, and just pretend that he would not know. After all, the other party was just a newcomer and had no language, so he would not immediately find fault.

I don’t know how much shock this message caused. In the Nanhai County Government, the county magistrate Zhao Haitao cursed angrily: “The governor is standing and speaking without any pain. The two vassal states are governors. Even if they are inspectors, they have to think more about it. But I, a small county magistrate, have no courage! When the inspectors visited various counties, they did not chase their subordinates into chaos. Which county magistrate did not treat people like a Bodhisattva, and they were afraid that they would be impeached by others? I was so brave that I was just because he was a young boy who had no interest in the matter?”

After cursing for a while, Zhao Haitao asked to the thoughtful master on the side, "What about the Censor's Office, there is nothing to say?"

"Dongweng also knows the Censor's Office. Lord Nietai's temper is not a little bit honest, he said, waiting for the new inspector to find him."

Zhao Haitao was stunned. After a long time, he hit his forehead with his hand and sighed, "Where is the Mansion Master?"

"The Fu Zun went to Lianxi Courtyard in Yuexiu Mountain. Didn't he say that Mr. Longxi came to Lianxi Courtyard to give a lecture?"

Zhao Haitao then remembered that Wang Ji had run to Guangzhou Lianxi Academy to give lectures, and he couldn't help but groan. The ministers and ministers had already rectified their academic affairs and wanted to ban the Tianxia Academy and give lectures. Why did so many officials still feel no sense of crisis at all? Could it be that he, the county magistrate, just worried about the situation?
