Jingshu said, "But none of those people can compare to Lord Zhao. He has talent, ability, and means, and most importantly, he is also handsome."
Li Weibai pouted and said, "I think you're in heat, aren't you?"
Jingshu smiled and said, "This servant is not worthy of Lord Zhao, only Your Highness is."
Li Weibai snorted coldly, "If I marry him, you can be his concubine, right?"
Jingshu knelt down quickly: "I don't have such thoughts."
"Okay, okay, it was just a joke. Look how scared you are."
Li Weibai waved her hand and said, "But having said that, he is indeed a good candidate. It's a pity that he is already taken."
"If Your Highness ascends the throne, can't you take him away?" Jingshu suggested.
"That's also a solution." Li Weibai said.
…
Zhao Lin casually gave Zhao Chenhan some trouble and then prepared to leave.
Now that he is no longer the Governor of Jiujiang, he naturally cannot go to the Governor's Office in Jiujiang anymore.
The Governor's Mansion of the River Governor is located in the capital.
The other governors were local officials, but the governor of the rivers was a Beijing official.
He is also a senior central government official, above all governors.
Of course, if a major war occurs that affects the fate of the country, the governor temporarily appointed in charge of the war will have a special status and will not be included.
But Zhao Lin didn't plan to stay in the capital.
The wind in the capital was too strong, so he had to go out to take shelter.
As early as when Zhao Lin was appointed as the governor of the river, he wrote to Sudi, asking him to lead the people who stayed in the Jiujiang Governor's Office over.
It just fills the river governor's office.
"When I heard in Jiujiang that Your Excellency had been promoted to Governor of the River, I was overwhelmed with emotion and wished I could immediately grow wings and fly to the capital to congratulate Your Excellency."
Su Yinghan, who had originally stayed in the Jiujiang Governor's Office, also came along and loudly declared his loyalty as soon as they met.
Sudi next to him covered his face with his hands.
The other members of the Su family couldn't bear to watch.
Zhao Lin asked, "Brother Su, how are you going to congratulate me?"
Su Yinghan said, "Sir, please don't address me like that. Just call me by my name. I have prepared some gifts for you. It's not a token of respect, but I hope you will accept them."
When giving gifts, be the first to give them.
Su Yinghan asked his men to bring up the gift. When he opened it, he saw that it was filled with golden gold.
"I have no other skills, so I can only send you some valuables, totaling three thousand taels. Please don't despise me, sir." Su Yinghan said.
Zhao Lin just looked at the gold without saying anything.
Su Yinghan suddenly realized and said, "This gold was taken from my home. I absolutely did not take a single cent from the people. Su Di can testify to this."
Sudi nodded: "Before coming here, my cousin specially asked our family to send this."
Zhao Lin then nodded and said, "Yinghan is thoughtful. I still say the same thing, as long as you do your job well, you will definitely be indispensable for promotion and wealth."
Su Yinghan said repeatedly: "Yes, I will definitely follow your orders. I will fight wherever you tell me to fight, and I will fight whoever you tell me to fight."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "I believe in Yinghan's loyalty and ability."
Su Yinghan was overjoyed and stood aside with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Su Yinghan does not have a background like Fu Wenqi and Gong Qiubai. Although the Su family he came from is also wealthy, there are so many children in the Su family, and Su Yinghan is a member of the side branch. It is not easy for him to get to where he is now.
If he wants to climb further, he can only rely on himself.
So what's the big deal about losing face?
It didn't take long for him to go from being a scholar to an official under a first-rank official.
Even the Su family wrote to ask me to go back for the New Year.
"Four promotions in two years, Your Excellency is the first since the founding of this dynasty."
Even someone as aloof as Gong Qiubai had to praise him.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "It's all thanks to your majesty's kindness, so we must work harder and never let your majesty down."
Sudi asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Zhao Lin said, "Before the troops move, the food and fodder must go first. No matter what you do, you need money, and repairing the whole underground river is even more so. So let's get the money first."
Sudi immediately asked, "Maritime trade?"
Zhao Lin laughed heartily: "The one who understands me best is Brother Su."
Sudi smiled shyly.
