(As for the final route, there's no rush. There are so many things to consider. It'll take at least a million words.) Alright, I'm slapping myself in the face. I'm being undemocratic.）

Yan Song didn't care about Liu Ru's collapsing worldview.
"Now that everything is settled, we can finally start drawing historical figures.”
After spending 10000 points, Yan Song opened the draw.
"Ding…do you wish to spend 10,000 points to randomly draw historical figures?”
"Yes."
"Ding…10,000 points consumed, 1000 points remaining. Drawing begins…Drawing successful, obtained historical figure: Qiao Zhiyong."
"Qiao Zhiyong: Huitong Tianxia, Huitong Tianxia, also known as Zhongdeng, alias Xiaochi, from Shanxi Qi County (Shanxi Qi County), the third generation of the Qiao family, the fourth head of the Qiao family, the representative merchant of Shanxi Jin merchants at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Loyalty 100%."
Yan Song was delighted. It was actually a business talent. This was exactly what he urgently needed at the moment.
"Qiao Zhiyong is currently a deputy shopkeeper of a business in the capital.”
Sure enough, on the second day, Qiao Zhiyong appeared outside the Yan Manor. Yan Song had instructed the door servant to respectfully invite him in to pay his respects to Yan Song. Yan Song arranged for him to stay temporarily.
Yan Song did not arrange any affairs for him for the time being. Instead, he let him familiarize himself with the Yan residence first.
As Yan Song's number one lackey, Yan Nian was actually a little dumbfounded. Feng Ji came first, and now Qiao Zhiyong? F * ck, what the hell?
That night, Yan Song was summoned into the palace. Emperor Jiajing had something to arrange.
The next day, the officials went to court as usual. However, there was nothing major this time, so there were not many officials in court. The three dukes and nine ministers were above the third rank.
"I have a report. If there's nothing else, I'll withdraw from the court!"
Yan Song stood out.
"This humble subject has something to report to Your Majesty…Your Majesty, most of the recent memorials from the cabinet are about the Jiangnan disaster, and so far, there has not been a good solution. This humble subject suggests that a capable official be sent to govern.”
Jiajing narrowed his eyes." Minister Yan is right. Alright, is there anyone suitable to go?" Please recommend one."
Everyone knew at a glance that it was Jiajing and Yan Song singing a double act. The shrewd Yang Bo directly stood up and said,"I recommend Lord Bao Xiren to be loyal and patriotic. He is upright and abhors evil as his enemy. At the same time, he is also a capable official.”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Bao Zheng's face was covered in tears. You guys…actually ganged up to bully me!
What kind of place was Jiangnan? I just finished dealing with Chen Shimei and Qian Qianyi, and I finally had some peace and quiet. Now you want me to be a sh * t-stirring stick again.
However, Emperor Jiajing did not allow him to reject him at all. He directly said with a 'dragon face joyful',"It seems that Minister Bao is highly respected. Then I will send you to be the governor of Zhejiang Province. You will control Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangnan, and Jiangxi military affairs. Administrative affairs could mobilize the local factory guards and military.”
The officials were in an uproar.
Wasn't this treatment a little too high?
The governor of Zhejiang Province was simply a second-grade or second-grade position. The Shuntian government office was only a third-grade position. In other words, if Bao Zheng could handle the Jiangnan disaster well, he would definitely be promoted after he returned. He could even be one of the nine ministers.
Originally, these officials thought that sending Bao Zheng to Jiangnan to stir up sh * t was a wise decision, but now they were a little regretful. Heavens, why didn't he rush forward when there was such a good opportunity?
Jia Jing looked at the performance of the officials below and sneered in his heart.
He had a headache when it came to officials like Bao Zheng, who had a bad temper and a hard temper. However, sometimes, he was indeed a good sh * t stirring stick and a sharp blade.
The next day, the news of Bao Zheng resigning as Shuntian Prefect and becoming the Governor of Zhejiang Province quickly spread throughout the capital.
"Lord Bao, don't go…"
"Heavens, what should we do after Lord Bao leaves?”
Many commoners were reluctant to part.
……
……
On the fourth day, the sun had just risen.
Bao Zheng left the capital with his aides Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu.
Along the way, when the commoners met each other, they could not help but follow and send them off. In the end, they slowly gathered around two to three hundred people.
"Elders, there's no need to send me off. This Bao will bid farewell here and will definitely return in the future.”
"Good luck, Lord Bao."
"Lord Bao, this is the egg I just cooked.”
"Lord Bao, take these buns with you as rations.”
After leaving the city gate, the commoners finally stopped sending them off. Bao Zheng and the others were both moved and emotional.
After walking for five miles, they saw a carriage parked by the roadside.
When Bao Zheng saw the carriage, he was shocked and quickly got down.
"Grand Secretary Yan!"
Yan Song was waiting for him on the road. Zhan Zhao, Gongsun Ce, and the others were shocked.
"Lord Bao, you probably didn't expect this." Yan Song laughed.”
Bao Zheng smiled bitterly." I didn't expect it. Thank you for sending me off, Grand Secretary Yan."”
Yan Song did not see him off at the city gate. It was a show of respect. After all, when the people saw the two of them, their first reaction was that they knew that Bao Qingtian was not Bao Qingtian.
Yan Song smiled." I've always admired Lord Bao. You're a capable official, unlike some people who flaunt justice and only attack others but can't do anything.”
Bao Zheng's expression was bitter.”
Yan Song: " I'm not complimenting you. In my heart, you're at least the kind of person I can make friends with.”
Bao Zheng thought to himself, I don't want to be friends with you. Otherwise, I'll be scolded by the whole world.”
Yan Song put away his smile." Lord Bao, I came here this time because His Majesty ordered me. I hope you won't have any worries this time. Suppress those who need to be suppressed, kill those who need to be killed, and kill those pirates without mercy!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bao Zheng bowed.
Yan Song nodded." The situation in Jiangnan is serious. I wanted to go personally, but there are movements at the northern border, so I can't leave for the time being. I hope Lord Bao will live up to expectations and stabilize Jiangnan."”
"How dare you refuse my orders!"
"Come, finish this bowl of wine." Yan Song took out two bowls of wine from somewhere.”
Bao Zheng took it.
The two of them were clean.
"Lord Bao, take care of yourself on this trip to Jiangnan!”
Thank you, Grand Secretary Yan."
After bidding farewell to Yan Song, Bao Zheng continued on his way. On the way, he couldn't help but sigh,"I don't understand this Grand Secretary Yan.”
Gongsun Ce commented," His Majesty has always favored him. He is already unshakable. We cannot offend him.”
