After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 273 Safely Arriving at Huishui

The journey from Nancheng to Huishui was smooth, and Ye Wuwei and his companions did not encounter any ambush.

Before stepping into the Huishui City Gate, Ye Wuwei saw a group of officials in official uniforms standing at the city gate.

What the hell is going on?

Ye Wuwei dismounted and walked towards the group of officials.

Seeing Ye Wuwei approaching, Yao Guangzhi said to the official standing in the front: "This is our commander."

The Huishui Governor hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Ye Wuwei: "Greetings, Commander."

There were a total of fifteen state-level administrative regions in the Qi Dynasty, and the governor was the highest official in each state, equivalent to the modern governor and commander of the provincial military region, with a rank of third grade. There was really no need to be so respectful to the commander of the Qi'an tribe, who was also of the third grade.

But Ye Wuwei knew why the governor of Huishui acted this way. Because he was worried that Ye Wuwei would settle the score later.

But at present, 30,000 people still need to be properly resettled by the Huishui Governor, so as long as the Huishui Governor does this job well, Ye Wuwei has no intention of arguing with him now.

It is also because Qi Wushuang currently has no one available.

"Governor, you and I serve in the same court, and you have helped me a lot this time. There is really no need to be so polite.

I have brought several thousand more people with me. Please settle them down."

The governor of Huishui hurriedly arranged for an official behind him to resettle the people.

After the arrangements were completed, the Huishui Governor said to Ye Wuwei, "I have prepared some wine to welcome the commander. I hope you will do me the honor."

Since Huishui Governor was still needed, Ye Wuwei answered readily:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Governor."

Seeing that Ye Wuwei did not make trouble, the governor of Huishui breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing the secret order to mobilize troops, Qi Guangren's letter and the token given to him by Lei Dahong, he guessed that the matter of Yuwen's kidnapping of people had been exposed.

As early as the first time he discovered a large discrepancy between the number of missing persons and the number of corpses, the governor of Huishui knew that something was wrong.

At that time, the governor of Huishui did not know who was responsible, but after a few years he guessed that it was done by the Yuwen family.

However, the governor of Huishui did not pursue the matter any further, adhering to the principle of less trouble is worse than more, and simply pretended to be unaware of it.

But now that Ye Wuwei wanted to borrow troops, he knew that the kidnapping of people could no longer be concealed, so in the spirit of "making amends", he readily sent 20,000 troops to Nancheng.

At the same time, he sent his trusted confidant to Qamdo to meet Qi Guangren and ask about Ye Wuwei's situation.

Qi Guangren only said one sentence: I would rather offend His Majesty than offend Ye Wuwei.

The governor of Huishui knew that Ye Wuwei was not someone he could afford to offend.

However, before meeting Ye Wuwei, the Huishui governor did not know what kind of person Ye Wuwei was. He only guessed that he was narrow-minded and vindictive. But after seeing Ye Wuwei in person, the Huishui governor knew that all his previous guesses were wrong.

Ye Wuwei looked at Guangfeng Jiyue and didn't seem like an intolerant person at all.

Then Qi Guangren's words had another meaning.

Ye Hongxia was unwilling to socialize, so she said to Ye Wuwei, "I'll come see you in the evening."

Ye Wuwei nodded.

When going to the island to rescue people, Ye Hongxia put on the mask again. At this time, Ye Hongxia was still wearing a mask.

The governor of Huishui didn't know who Ye Hongxia was, but seeing that she had no manners in front of Ye Wuwei, he asked tentatively:

"I wonder who this is?"

"She is Senior Ye, a hermit master. I want her to protect me on this trip."

The governor of Huishui automatically thought that Ye Hongxia was a martial arts master, so he didn't pay much attention to her.

This was also Ye Wuwei's original intention. He didn't want others to know about the relationship between Ye Hongxia and him and try to please Ye Hongxia.

……

The banquet was exquisite and thoughtful but not at all extravagant, which made Ye Wuwei very satisfied.

Therefore, when the banquet was about to end, Ye Wuwei said to the governor of Huishui:

"The court needs money for so many things right now. Your Majesty is taking the lead in promoting frugality and opposing extravagance. It's great that the governor can do this."

No matter how Huishui's governor lived his daily life, at least he could pretend to be a good person, so he deserves praise.

The Huishui Governor hurriedly said, "As long as the commander doesn't blame us for being negligent, that's all that's fine."

"how come?

Nowadays, many people cannot even have enough food for three meals a day. As court officials, we should set an example.

Resettling 30,000 civilians will require a considerable amount of money and grain. If the governor encounters difficulties, he can apply for subsidies from the Ministry of Revenue."

After hearing Ye Wuwei's words, Huishui Governor felt more at ease.

The banquet he had prepared before was very luxurious, but after meeting Ye Wuwei in person, he changed his mind temporarily and switched to the current exquisite but not luxurious banquet.

It seems that he made the right bet: Ye Wuwei is indeed not a luxurious person!

It’s no wonder that the Huishui governor did this.

In the past, whenever officials from the imperial court came to inspect, not only would they be treated lavishly, but they would also be given various gifts when they left, otherwise the local officials would be given a hard time.

In order to maintain their own positions, local officials can only go with the flow.

Now that he had met Ye Wuwei, who did not require extravagant hospitality, the governor of Huishui was naturally happy to save some money.

"Don't worry, Commander. I will make sure to take good care of these 30,000 people and won't let them go hungry.

As for the money and food needed, I will try my best to organize the wealthy people of Huishui to provide it, and if it becomes too much for me, I will apply to the court for it.”

Ye Wuwei knew that these were just empty words and that he would eventually apply for financial subsidies from the court, so he did not expose them.
