Yuan Weitai led Zhang Kentang into the governor's yamen, and bypassed the screen wall and walked through the courtyard.

He walked very slowly and stopped to introduce him to Zhang Kentang every step he took.

Zhang Kentang was also very patient and listened very seriously.

"I heard that the prefect Yuan was the nephew of the clan of Duke Jie Huan (Yuan Keli's name)?"

Zhang Kentang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked a question.

Yuan Weitai was shocked and calmed down a little, saying, "Report to Futai, this is indeed the case."

"Before I came to Dengzhou, I heard about the fact that the magistrate Yuan led the organization of the village warrior to resist Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's rebels. At first, I was a little surprised, but I didn't think it was surprising to know that the magistrate Yuan was the nephew of the clan of Duke Jie Huan."

Zhang Kentang paused for a moment and said, "Duke Jie Huan devoted his entire work to the Ming Dynasty. The prefect Yuan was also a loyal minister. The Yuan family is really a loyal minister!"

Suddenly being praised by Shangguan, Yuan Weitai quickly responded: "Master Futai praised it. The lower officials just did what they should do. Although they could not go into battle to kill the enemy and destroy the enemy, they had to be worthy of their backbone."

His words came from the heart.

That day, Yuan Weitai personally beat the city of Dengzhou to encourage morale. Even though the rebels had already climbed to the top of the city, Yuan Weitai was not afraid of danger and acted as if he had regarded death as the Ming Dynasty's death.

Fortunately, the Tianqi Camp suddenly came out like a divine weapon descending from the sky, killing all the rebels, otherwise Yuan Weitai would have really died at the head of Dengzhou City.

"Okay, that's right! Ben Fu would be very pleased to work with Prison Yuan."

What Zhang Kentang admires most is the kind-hearted person. It is indeed very rare that Yuan Weitai can show that he is not afraid of danger in the face of danger in the face of great enemy.

As for the ability, it must be not bad. How could he be an ordinary person to be able to organize a brave village to defend the city in a short period of time?

The two walked to the front door of the hanging flower in the backyard, Yuan Weitai bowed and said, "Please take a break first, so the subordinates won't disturb you."

Zhang Kentang nodded slightly and said, "Magistrate Yuan is intent."

Yuan Weitai was very happy after retreating from the governor's yamen.

Although he only talked with Zhang Kentang for a few words, Yuan Weitai felt very speculative.

It can be seen that Zhang Kentang is a person with great ambitions and great ambitions, just like him. The rise and rejuvenation of Huangming not only requires being a wise and powerful lord like today's Zi, but also a loyal and capable minister.

If the Ming Dynasty was united, why worry about not being able to eliminate the bandits and defeat the Eastern Captains!

When Yuan Weitai thought of this, he felt excited.

...

At dusk, Penglai Pavilion.

Today, the entire restaurant was booked down to prepare for the welcome banquet of Governor Zhang Kentang.

In order to satisfy Zhang Kentang, Yuan Weitai tried all his best. When he learned that Zhang Kentang was from Songjiang Mansion, he specially ordered people to prepare Songjiang perch.

Of course, this fish cannot be caught from Songjiang, but the method is authentic Songjiang.

At this time, Yuan Weitai also notified all officials in Dengzhou City and waited in Penglai Pavilion together.

Governor Zhang Kentang came very punctually, and Yuan Weitai personally pressed the sedan chair for Zhang Kentang.

After Zhang Kentang got off the sedan chair, Yuan Weitai and other officials came forward one after another, and welcomed the governor into the restaurant with all their hearts.

"Xiaguan has booked the entire restaurant. I wonder which floor Lord Futai plans to use the banquet?"

Yuan Weitai bowed slightly and asked very respectfully.

Zhang Kentang took a nap and was in good spirits. He said lightly: "I am the first to come, so I will listen to the prefect Yuan."

Yuan Weitai thought for a moment and said, "If you look at the five floors, you can see the scenery of Dengzhou City in a distance and see the vast ocean."

After Yuan Weitai’s outline, Zhang Kentang also wanted to see how wonderful the fifth floor of Penglai Pavilion was.

"Oh? Then bring me to the pavilion."

"The emperor obeys the order. Please ask Lord Futai!"

It is not easy to climb to the fifth floor in a row, not to mention that Zhang Kentang is already fifty years old.

Zhang Kentang was already out of breath when he climbed to the fourth floor.

Yuan Weitai wanted to help him, but Zhang Kentang refused directly.

Zhang Kentang rested and stopped and finally climbed to the top of the pavilion.

Yuan Weitai was also very tired. Although he was only over forty years, his muscles and bones were tired because of his lack of exercise.

The other officials basically put their hands on their hips and gasped heavily.

Zhang Kentang saw all this and had made up his mind to start with the civil servant strengthening his body.

Although civil servants don’t have to go to battle to kill the enemy, they can’t be a group of sick people.

Otherwise, how can we handle heavy business well?

The revival of the Ming Dynasty is not a one-day achievement. You must have a good body to see that day.

However, Zhang Kentang would not raise it at the banquet, and he had more important things to say.

As the governor, Zhang Kentang sat in the upper head without hesitation. Yuan Weitai sat in the lower head as the prefect. The other Dengzhou officials also took the seats in order according to their official positions.

After the banquet officially began, Yuan Weitai toasted Governor Zhang Kentang on behalf of a group of officials in Dengzhou City as usual.

Afterwards, Zhang Kentang made a speech, mostly clichés from the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

Yuan Weitai was fine, but other officials heard calluses in their ears, and they were straight out of their left ear.

After Zhang Kentang finished speaking the cliché, the topic suddenly changed, and he bowed to the south and said loudly: "Benfu has received the emperor's kindness and is the governor of the emperor. He should devote himself to his own efforts. However, Boenfu heard that the Denglai Naval Division was in name only. There were almost no warships in the water city a month ago, which was not possible. The court's requirement for Boenfu was to train an elite naval commander within half a year. Then Boenfu has to have some requirements for you."

After saying that, Zhang Kentang glanced at everyone and continued with satisfaction when he saw that no one had any objections: "Prince Yuan, you have been in charge of all matters in Dengzhou Prefecture. So I will ask you, how many warships are there in Dengzhou Water City now?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Yuan Weitai, which made him a little nervous.

"Reporting to Futai, there are now 16 sea ships in Dengzhou Water City, including eight large-sized blessed ships and eight large-sized broad ships. According to the Ministry of War, more than 40 sea ships will arrive in Dengzhou one after another."

Yuan Weitai secretly thanked that he had just visited the Shuicheng and had a good understanding of the specific situation.

Otherwise, Zhang Kentang just asked, didn’t he be blinded by his eyes?

It can be seen that the governor's style of conduct is the kind of decisive and will never be dragged on.

In the future, you should be more diligent in doing things under his elders.

Zhang Kentang nodded.

This is similar to what he knew in Dengzhou Water City. It seems that Yuan Weitai is indeed a good official who does everything himself.

"Wait for another five days, and all the ships should arrive in Dengzhou in five days. At that time, I will personally inspect the navy's training. I will say that in front of me. The navy must practice diligently, and at least every three days must be guaranteed!"
