Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 177 The new year has passed, Jiangnan together.

The whole country heard that Xi Beast was beheaded by the Great Prince of Kyoto City and the Overwatch Council, and it started to shake up. They bought things called firecrackers that only Qing's domestic treasury could find in order to kill Xi Beast. Purchased red silk, red hi, and red satin produced by Neiku.

Because of the red clothes worn by the garrison in Kyoto City, the common people also began to spread word of mouth that the red clothes and objects can drive away the beasts and keep the party safe.

All in all, people passed it on from person to person, and it became popular throughout the Qing Kingdom. Fan Xian had already handed over the memorial to His Majesty the Emperor last month. These long-standing gunpowder and silk All the satin was used for use. In the last month of taking over the internal treasury, Fan Xian, who was planning for a rainy day, earned enough money for the entire Qing Dynasty's household department. This year's emperor has never had such a situation, and he can Happy New Year's Eve.

Fan Xian did not reveal this information, but he did it himself.

First of all, Xi Beast kills all the death row inmates who are backlogged in the prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and even all over the country. What they are waiting for is to be executed every year, so those piled up corpses are all the corpses of dying people. The deaths of these people saved the Ministry of Criminal Justice tens of thousands of taels of prison food, which is the prison food for the entire Qing Kingdom.

Then there is the issue of stockpiling goods in the internal warehouse for sale. Fan Xian knew that Emperor Qing was afraid that gunpowder, something that Ye Qingmei brought out directly, would appear in the capital city or even in the country of Qing, so before that, gunpowder was directly used to fill the sea. When Fan Xian found out that there were still several ships of gunpowder stranded in the port of Suzhou, he made this decision. Of course, it was thanks to the information from Haitang Duoduo, who was one step ahead.

Even if all the firecrackers are blown up, they will not reach the emperor's old man's house, so of course His Majesty the Emperor can sleep peacefully.

Finally, there is the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. After all, various problems will arise in this dramatic matter, such as who is the dead person, such as the issuance of pensions, such as the judgment of the court on gossip.

Fan Xian is a person who can control public opinion. Since he can control the common people, he can also control the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

These people who have not had a day off for 360 days a year suddenly ushered in the ten-day holiday at the end of the new year, and they are all happier than sows in spring. It seems that no one has written a letter for a while. What they are worried about is that once the letter is submitted, the emperor will deny it for ten days, and it will be embarrassing for the person who submitted the letter to work overtime to deal with the problem.

Finally it's the day.

His Majesty the Emperor personally issued an imperial decree to eradicate the beasts, which is the credit of the people all over the world. With this hat, people will naturally do everything His Majesty said. For New Year's Eve, this day will be decorated with lanterns and streamers to celebrate the country and overcome difficulties together, and all people from other places will return to their hometowns to fight against Xi Beast who catches alone.Then firecrackers and red silk on top of bamboo poles are placed at the door of the house to prevent the invasion of evening beasts.

Wait, wait, etc., these are the sources of the rumors originating from Mr. Fan Xian, Mr. Fan.

Anyway, the Eight Offices of the Overwatch Council are very good at spreading rumors. Whatever nonsense you want, they will come to you in a well-informed way. Even in the capital city, there have been a few festive couplets for the new year and they have started research. Those highly educated students And the self-proclaimed highly educated students also started research on couplets.

Red rice paper-based couplets have also begun to be hung at the entrances of major shops. Of course, this red rice paper can only be produced in the inner warehouse. After all, the dye house is not willing to imitate such things as a cooperative and win-win joint credit union with rice paper. .

This is how the prosperous age officially began, so before the beginning of the twelfth month, Northern Qi and Dongyi City all advertised that they had seen the evening beast, and within the territory of Northern Qi and Dongyi City, they began to prepare the same things as in Qing Dynasty.

While His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom scolded Dongyi City and Beiqi for being shameless, the internal treasury had no time to falsify the sudden accounts, and handed them all over to the treasury. The two happiest men this year were actually both. idle father.When Fan Jian came to Emperor Qing for the second time in the imperial study, what he said was, "Your Majesty, the household department has a little too much money, how about..."

"No need..." The emperor had a headache, and he had never seen such a situation before. In less than a month, a young man who had lost all internal energy in the Overwatch Council stood on the hilltop of another courtyard holding a pen and paper He earned eight times the amount within a whole year.

"Let Fan Xian take the limelight this year." The emperor lay back.

At this time, the two men were thinking about the same thing.

My son is amazing.

Finally, the poetry competition event that spread all over the world was also held on a certain day in the first month of the twelfth lunar month. Fan Anzhi and Fan Shixian said, "The sound of firecrackers kills the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old ones. Talisman." At the end of the work, he once again achieved success and established his reputation as the world's number one poet fairy.

From then on, the poems went overseas, but what was even more frightening was that the capital city of the Northern Qi Dynasty suddenly took out a wine called Tusu, which was very effective, not only to drive away the cold and wind, but also to kill viruses, insects, and invigorate the stomach. keep fit.Promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.Anyway, what Fei Jie blew out was written into the effect of wine.

As a result, it was released by Northern Qi and spread all over the country, becoming the most popular wine in the world, even surpassing Nurhong.

His Majesty the Northern Qi Emperor, who thought that the power was evenly distributed, could be regarded as proud under Qing's prestige. He also immediately summoned Jin Yiwei to investigate this wine named Tusu, but who would have expected to find out the winery after repeated investigations? It was only then that the Northern Qi emperor was dumbfounded. Tusu wine was produced by a winery named Wuliangye, and the owner of this winery was Fan Sizhe who studied in Northern Qi.

The Emperor of Northern Qi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He knocked on the table and scolded Fan Xian for the whole morning, finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "No matter what else, anyway, this Wuliangye winery belongs to Northern Qi. Just don't know who Fan Sizhe is!"

This new year is the happiest in the entire history.

Fan Xian knew that this was just the beginning, and because of the account entry this time, he realized more and more what a terrifying place the Inner Treasury was. The word horror is the most appropriate word to describe the production of money in that place. In this way, Fan Xian is looking forward to the trip to the south of the Yangtze River after the end of the year.

A great country, sailing in a prosperous age.

Fan Xian stood on the top of the hill in the other courtyard. This place seemed to be specially built for Fan Xian. It could overlook most of the scenery of the capital city. No wonder the ancients were willing to climb high and have a long-term vision. Fan Xian didn't know this was What do you mean, now he can understand, when you take a quick look at the power on that piece of land, you have a share, that kind of perception and desire for power swells in Fan Xian's body all the time.

Fan Xian's thinking now is quite different from what it used to be, but in terms of rights, he didn't think like he did when he first entered the capital city, but he thinks that he should have some power to ensure his own survival. Guarantee the survival of your family.

Lin Wan'er and the other family members were all he had to protect. After the strength of the Ninth Rank disappeared from him, Fan Xian realized that the only thing that can guarantee the normal survival of the whole family is power.It is to make others not easily lose your power.

After the eighth body was thrown down the cliff, Gao Da bowed to Fan Xian at the top of the mountain not far below.

I don't know how many people there are, and I don't know how many low-level arrow marks around Gao Zhanting. Deng Zifei sat on the wall of another courtyard with his bow and arrows on his back, never leaving Fan Xian's figure for a moment. The bows and arrows in his hands were shot without fail, and no matter where the swords and arrows appeared, they did not escape his eyes.

Fan Xian nodded.

At this moment, Gundam came up from the cliff, and he whispered to Fan Xian, "My lord, go down, the night is getting dark, and it's easy to catch cold."

"Yeah." Fan Xian smiled, then turned around and asked suddenly, "I'm so thin that you need to take care of me when I catch a cold."

Gundam was noncommittal, and looked at Fan Xian calmly, "The safety of your lord is related to the lives and deaths of many people, so don't be careless."

"It's New Year's Eve, don't you plan to go back to see your parents?" Fan Xian asked.

"My parents have already sent me a letter from home. Everything is fine, so I won't go back. Eight assassins have appeared today alone. They have gone up the mountain, and how many have not gone up the mountain. Those black knights from the Overwatch Council are in the dark. The place is hidden, a large number of people have been blocked, and the subordinates dare not walk away." Gao Da said.

Fan Xian nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I dare not." Gao Da replied.

After walking down the Gaozhan Terrace slowly, the bright whistle and the dark whistle moved the whole body, and they all moved following Fan Xian's figure. They did not slack off at all, moving secretly in the jungle that Fan Xian could not see .

Qu Han and Lin Wan'er are in the courtyard below, learning how to make dumplings from Sang Wen. Of course, Sang Wen also learned how to make dumplings with his hands from Fan Xian. For example, dumplings, such as tomato egg noodles, and barbecue.

Ever since Qu Han told Lin Wan'er about Fan Xian's barbecue skills, Lin Wan'er often pestered Fan Xian to make her a meal. What Qu Han said was so colorful that Lin Wan'er had been looking forward to it for a long time. Today, Fan Xian came down to relax. There is nothing to do here, and the year is approaching, and it is simply boring, so I am going to show them a hand here.

Wang Qinian had already been assigned to buy some materials when Fan Xian ascended the high school, so he should have returned, but he was still nowhere to be seen. Fan Xian asked, "Have any of you seen Wang Qinian?"

"It's not just about Wang Qinian, but the few people who went down the mountain to purchase today have not returned yet." Qu Han said, in the other courtyard, Qu Han is responsible for the management of housework, so these daily purchases are made by Qu Han and the housekeeper Responsible.The housekeeper is a person who was trained by the chief steward called out by the eunuch. He can be regarded as the confidant of Eunuch Hou. Fan Xian also knows that the confidant of Eunuch Hou is not the confidant of His Majesty. Inside and outside, it is equivalent to His Majesty watching them with his own eyes. every move.

"Not back yet?" Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "I told him when I got up in the morning, basically I made an appointment to come back in the afternoon, after all, the capital city is not very far from here, How could it take so long?"

"I don't know, I sent three servants to look for it, but the result is that they haven't returned yet." Qu Han said, "If it doesn't work, why don't I send two more people to look for it?"

"No need." Fan Xian yawned, "I'll find someone to pick it up."

Speaking of which, Fan Xian moved straight down. There are three floors in the other courtyard. After walking through the mountain road behind, he came to the next floor. In fact, Fan Xian wanted to build an elevator here, but then he studied the first word for a long time. , and finally gave up. After all, Fan Xian thought about it. Regarding science, his mother may be more reliable. He is probably a layman. After all, the steps of humidifier are easier than making electricity.

When we reached the other courtyard on the second floor, it was all wing rooms. Unlike the upper wing rooms, all the people living here were members of the Overwatch Council, not those from the Fan Mansion. After Fan Xian walked in at will, he found a wing room. After knocking on the door, Yu Zhenzi opened the door with barely any clothes on, yawning.

Then he hurriedly closed the door.

After waiting for a long time, the door opened again. Yu Zhenzi put on a piece of clothing and looked at Fan Xian with a smile on his face, "Oh, what wind brought you here."

"This is my house." Fan Xian walked into Yu Zhenzi's wing without a good mood. As expected, he was an old bachelor. Except for the relatively clean cubicle where the wolf was, the other places were dirty and messy, but Fan Xian He didn't come to urge him to clean up. After looking at the room where there was no place to stay, he turned around and walked out again, asking, "I want to barbecue tonight."

"Really?" Yu Zhenzi looked at Fan Xian with joy on his face, "Then I will definitely go. Since you have invited me so sincerely, I will definitely not refuse your kind offer."

Fan Xian glanced at Yu Zhenzi contemptuously, and smiled, "I asked Wang Qinian and a few servants to buy some things and mix them into ingredients. This is delicious."

"Yeah, I don't even know how to mix your ingredients, it's delicious and..." When he said this, Yu Zhenzi seemed to understand something, he jumped up in surprise, "I yesterday..."

"I thought you did it on purpose." Fan Xian smiled angrily, "Why don't you hurry?"

"Okay!" Yu Zhenzi didn't have time to put on more clothes, so he turned his head and ran to the bottom of the cliff. Gundam stood beside Fan Xian. The two looked at each other and smiled. Fan Xian then tightened the fur cape on his body. Walked down the mountain of the other courtyard.Gao Da chuckled, "I said that this guy is doing what he does in the mountains day and night, so he is a veteran again. But judging by the speed of Brother Wang, he must have been trapped for a long time because he hasn't come up."

"Qimen Dunjia is a miraculous numerology, and there are countless people who have studied it. However, not many people have achieved great achievements. Only a few people are enough to be recorded in the annals of history. It is not a bad thing for him to be so obsessed. Knowing the eight numerology skills is a hidden murderous intention, as long as this guy doesn't ruin Wang Qinian, and the wife and children in this family, just point at Brother Wang." Fan Xian smiled, and the two started to walk down.

After bypassing the mountain range, he ran into Wang Qinian and a few servants head-on. At this time, Wang Qinian was walking in disgrace, still cursing, "If I can't beat you, I won't kill you!"

Seeing Fan Xian, Wang Qinian restrained himself a little, but his face still had no good looks. He didn't raise his temper until he knew that Fan Xian was going to have a barbecue at night, "Can I call my family? My lord also I know, these years outside, my daughter has not been eating very well, and my wife is also sallow and thin, very..."

"Yes, yes." Fan Xian was too lazy to listen to his long talk, and Fan Xian knew it was nonsense. No one could sense the reason for his [-]-pound wife and daughter who was almost two heads taller than Fan Shuning.

Only then did Wang Qinian leave happily with his people.

Fan Xian glanced at Gundam, Gundam walked away knowingly, and stood aside to protect Fan Xian's safety, while Fan Xian stopped Yu Zhenzi who was walking over, Yu Zhenzi tilted his head and looked at Fan Xian, "What's the matter? "

"Let's talk." Fan Xian smiled slightly, looking at Yu Zhenzi, his smile was calm but full of kindness.

Yu Zhenzi tilted his head and looked at Fan Xian, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk, why did you travel thousands of miles from the banks of the Suzhou River to the capital city, and instead of cultivating at the feet of your master, you came back to me. Although I didn't doubt that you would do anything wrong to me, I was Doubt what you're thinking."

This is quite normal. He is a person with ninth-rank strength, no matter where he is, he is a favorite. Even if he is now in the ranks of the Jingdu city defense army, he is aimed at the five words of Ye Liuyun's apprentice, a high-ranking general. They can be obtained casually, so he has no burden at all, but why does he have to enter Fan Xian's side so decisively.

Yu Zhenzi smiled slightly. He looked at Fan Xian, shook his head and sighed, "I don't know, I just thought you needed help. Now that you have lost all your internal energy, I should be by your side."

Fan Xian was puzzled.

Looking at the puzzled Fan Xian, Yu Zhenzi smiled, "You don't understand, if it weren't for Aunt Ye, I might already be a corpse that was buried indiscriminately now. I can't explain or understand those things back then. I don’t know what’s going on for a person like my aunt to return to the most dilapidated village in the extreme north, but she seems to be doing something very important, so she saved me by the way.”

"Oh?" Fan Xian was startled suddenly. He looked at Yu Zhenzi, "Are you in the extreme north?"

"Yes." Yu Zhenzi said.

Fan Xian gave him a pause gesture, and then winked at Gundam beside him.

Gundam nodded immediately, and then the two servants in the dense forest behind him fell down immediately.

Fan Xian knew that there were secret guards by his side. These secret guards were not only simple and ordinary servants, but also eyeliners in the palace. Fan Xian could understand where they were, but there were certain things that Fan Xian could not let them Fan Xian didn't know the details of who these people were brought out, but the only thing he knew was that the people these people were loyal to must be His Majesty the current emperor.

Fan Xian looked sideways at Yu Zhenzi, nodded with a smile, "Who else knows about your background?"

"My master." Yu Zhenzi said.

"Your life experience, don't tell anyone, no matter who it is." Fan Xian said seriously.

Yu Zhenzi was silent, then nodded.

Chen Pingping didn't know about the fact that the temple was in the north. Of course, Fan Xian knew that the Gundam next to him would not make any movement, so he wasn't worried that someone would leak the news.

The origin of Ye Qingmei is a mystery in the inner courtyard of the palace, even in the Overwatch Council. His Majesty the Emperor once chatted with Fan Xian and said that he did not know the origin of Ye Qingmei.Of course Fan Xian knew, this wasn't to knock him around, but he really didn't know.

Regarding the secret revealed by Xiao En before his death, Fan Xian did not know anyone except Wu Zhu who had talked with him. Even Wu Zhu only heard a few words. For a person with a certain origin, if he can really remember something, it is useless to say it by himself. If he can't remember it, the words he said may give Wu Zhu a sudden headache. For this steady senior, Fan Xian has always They are all very loving.

Fan Xian knew a thing or two about the things in the temple, but the source was all from Ye Qingmei's letter. He didn't know about the seal of human glory in the past century and the beginning of the second ice age. What is it like? He doesn't want to explore these sci-fi things. He would rather become the king of this era than do something that promotes the progress of the era. Those things are left to people in black suits and black sunglasses. , has nothing to do with him.

He just needs to roast the leg of lamb in front of him.

Facing the stove, Fan Xian was meditating, while the people sitting in a circle were waiting to eat.

After the baked things were finally brought out, everyone began to praise them with dipping sauces.

And Fan Jian didn't know when he went up the mountain. He came over and grabbed a leg of lamb. He ate two mouthfuls and was about to put it down. Eating here, it is impossible for me to squat here too, so I spread out.

Fan Xian turned his head to look at his father, who was eating greasy mouth, "What's wrong? Father."

"Hmm... oh... you wait." At this time, Lin Wan'er brought a cup of hot tea and handed it to Fan Jian. Fan Jian took it in his hand and drank it down. Then he said, "You are going to Jiangnan."

The couple heard this sentence. Fan Xian had told Lin Wan'er before that he would definitely go to Jiangnan. First of all, he was going to take over as the internal treasury at the beginning of the year. He must start taking over from Jiangnan Road, and finally return to the capital. in the city.

But even though it was agreed in advance, Lin Wan'er still felt a little awkward, so she asked, "Father, can't we wait until the end of the New Year's Eve?"

Fan Jian was taken aback, then smiled, "It must be the end of the New Year. After all, there is still a ten-day holiday for our family to reunite and have a good New Year. No, it's the New Year's Eve celebration, hahaha..."

After laughing for a while, Fan Jian said to Fan Xian, "It is estimated that you may have to go on the road before the tenth day of the lunar new year. You have to complete the handover of the inner warehouse before March. Although the journey is not far, but you went there, There must be a lot of complicated things to deal with, and if you want to handle it properly, maybe a month is not enough time."

Fan Xian nodded, "I don't know much about the internal treasury of Jiangnan Road, besides, I got a new understanding of this place during the twelfth lunar month. The people here seem to know the essence of the word exploitation. The result of this month's turmoil is to build momentum so that the Qing Kingdom can end the year economically perfectly, and the amount of silver this time also shocked me."

"Boy." Fan Jian sighed, and said to Fan Xian, "The number here is a lot, but it's still not enough for the internal treasury in the glory days, a month's worth."

This sentence obviously made Fan Xian even more puzzled, "Could it be that they dare to make such quick money?"

"Yes." Fan Jian nodded. He didn't know anything in the Ministry of Households for decades, and he hadn't seen anything. In those days, things like the treasure bowl of the Qing Dynasty, how could they be the same as the households now? About the same?Of course it's impossible, the water here is unfathomable, it seems dangerous now to let Fan Xian go alone, but this is the path that Fan Jian himself arranged for Fan Xian, even if he breaks his head, he has to go on .

"I transferred you a hundred tiger guards from His Majesty to follow you all the way south," Fan Jian said.

"That's not necessary." Fan Xian said, "Thirty people are enough. I will bring some people from one place to the Overwatch Council. Father, don't worry."

Fan Jian looked at the young man in front of him. He was now able to take charge of his own affairs. He was no longer the heroic and fearless person he was when he first entered the capital city. He felt very comforted, so he smiled, "Okay, No matter what you say, as a father, I will listen to you."

"Oh, that's right." Fan Jian took a bite of the leg of lamb and continued, "There is another imperial decree."

Fan Xian frowned, "What?"

"You will know after the New Year's Eve. If I speak out about this matter, I will become a bad person. So when the imperial decree arrives, you will know." Fan Jian's scheming look made Lin Wan'er tremble.
