It seems that I am still too full [travel]
Chapter 38
Han Ji once asked Xie Shi, who can be the master of the world.At that time, Xie Shi didn't know his plan. His answer was that the real master of the world is based on the people, who worries about the worries of the people and enjoys the happiness of the people.Now Xie Shi asked Han Ji, who had taken over Le County, whether he would be the real lord of the world, but he was actually asking him, if in the future, if Han Ji ascended to the position of Supreme Nine Tripods, would he be able to be what he called a Mingjun.
If someone else asks, Han Ji will ignore it. After all, not everyone in this world is qualified to ask him this question. His ambitions and ambitions don't need to be understood by others, and he doesn't need to confide in others. No such honor.
But when Xie Shi asked a question at this time, Han Ji didn't feel offended in the slightest.He knew in his heart that if you wanted to lure someone as pure and kind as Xie Shi, who had no desires or desires, you would not be able to impress him with high-ranking officials, power, gold, silver, wealth, fame and status, which ordinary people desperately desire. It is purely useless work, only the lord who has the world in his heart can get his followers.
Han Ji was not perfunctory or evasive at all. He came to Xie Shi's side, stretched out his hand to him, and invited: "Ji is willing to use what he has done in this life to become the master of Mingjun in Ah Shi's heart. Then Ah Shi, may you be willing to come from Xie Shi?" Overseer?"
Xie Shi looked at his outstretched hand, looked up, and looked into Han Ji's eyes, those eyes were covered by long eyelash feathers, and they were a little deep and couldn't see clearly. Xie Shi rarely saw a man with such long hair. The eyelashes, however, did not look feminine at all, but became more and more mysterious and deep. The long eyelashes seemed to be a seal. Once opened, they would be locked by the hunting eyes of lions and leopards under the deep blue shadow.
At this time, those eyes looking at Xie Shi waved off the sharpness and indifference of the past, and in the strange and bright star pupils, only firmness and honesty remained, making a solemn promise to him, and at the same time inviting him to go forward side by side.
Xie Shi was struggling in his heart, hesitating.He recalled that when he first time traveled, because of the unlucky past life, he lived a solitary life. In this life, he got rid of the yin and yang constitution that brought "unfortunate misfortune". After he can be a normal person from now on, all he has in mind is to live in the cafeteria of the academy and study food on weekdays. , the ambition of being a free and idle person, at most, I will give full play to my professional knowledge and bring good seeds to increase production for the people of the world.Careful
Later, by chance, he and Han Ji became close friends without knowing it.In Xie Shi's previous life, due to his "physical constitution", he didn't dare to get close to others, for fear of bringing misfortune and disaster to others, so he never had any close friends. He never expected to relax and make friends normally in this life. He is a traitor who is determined to rebel!The remaining few close friends are still partisans of this rebellion!This day is really exciting.
Now his friend and traitor also sincerely invites him to join the cause of the rebellion. Whether to continue to be a fish after refusing, or to join the gangsters and fight the world together, this is definitely not a decision that Xie Shi can make in just a few breaths.Han Ji also knew, so he just offered an invitation, and gave an answer immediately when he didn't ask for thanks.The two of them pressed the matter aside for the time being.
Han Ji's current office is not in the county government office, but in the county magistrate's residence behind the county government office. Compared with the county government office that has been in disrepair for a long time, dilapidated and leaking rain for years, the county magistrate's residence can be described as painted buildings and carved beams. The jue is carved and beautifully carved, and there is even a garden in the mansion, with a three-storey theater building built in the middle of the garden, and a glimpse of the leopard can be seen, how the county magistrate Fan used to squeeze the people's fat and anoint for his own use.
There are exotic flowers and plants in the garden, and many precious trees have been transplanted. There is a folk proverb, "Red dates in July and pears in August, and persimmons in September." season.There are two persimmon trees more than five feet high planted in the garden of the county magistrate's mansion. It is estimated that the county magistrate Fan is a person who pays attention to Fengshui. Fire" good intentions.
At this time, the tree was full of vermilion fruits, as bright as frosty maple. Xie Shi approached and observed carefully, and found that it was actually the famous red persimmon of Dongling. In addition, the branches were grafted with black dates. At this time, most of the persimmons produced large and vermilion fruits. Unfortunately, the original owner Fan County Magistrate could not taste the sweet persimmons this year.
Xie Shi coveted the fruits of these two persimmon trees. After asking for Han Ji's consent, Han Ji directly found a few people for him to help him climb trees to pick persimmons.Perhaps due to the warm climate in the south, the skin of the persimmons on the tree has turned slightly yellow at this time, and they are ripe enough to not need to be placed to promote ripening.
The sergeant on the tree was still helping to pick it, and Xie Shi, who was guarding the basket under the tree, couldn't wait to pick up one, slowly took off the persimmon stalk, washed it with clean water, gently bit the thin skin, the juice burst out, and sucked the pulp and flesh , Like drinking sweet honey, slip into the throat, wash away dryness in autumn.
Xie Shi had just talked to Han Ji when he noticed that the man had a slight cough and some skin on his lips. He guessed that he had autumn dryness in his body and he hadn't had a good rest. Xie Shi had someone wash a plate of persimmons for him to leave Fighting Han Ji sent it.The remaining persimmons could not stand for a long time, so Xie Shi decided to make persimmon cakes and persimmon frosting sugar.
Persimmons are a common way to store fresh persimmons. The method is also common and simple. Peeled persimmons are squished and placed neatly on a bamboo sieve. Sun-dry until half-dried, then take it off and put it in a jar to cover it tightly, and wait for the sugar in the persimmon to gradually seep out and form crystals on the surface, which is the common layer of hoarfrost on the outside of the persimmon, before tasting it.
Persimmon is a kind of food that needs time to participate in the brewing, so we can only wait slowly. However, apart from eating persimmons raw or dried into pancakes, there is another way to eat persimmons, that is, to eat cooked persimmons.
At noon, Han Ji wanted to invite Xie Shi, who was still picking persimmons in Fan's mansion, to have some afternoon tea with him, and asked his servants to look for him, but after searching for a long time, he found that he was hiding in the kitchen tossing new food.Han Ji waved his hand to let the servants who came to sue go down, and walked to the back kitchen of the county magistrate's mansion that he had never stepped into.
Xie Shi just finished giving instructions to the cook of the Han family, and asked him to cook a satisfying meal. When he saw Han Ji coming, as if the confrontation between the two before did not exist, he smiled and said: "Brother Han came just in time, let's try the freshly baked Liuxin persimmon, this is the first time I make it, so I don’t know how it tastes.”
"Wherever Ah Shi goes, there will be delicious food."
The so-called liuxin persimmon cake is a recipe that Xie Shi read in Mr. Tang Lusun's book. Most people probably have never heard of the cake filled with persimmon pulp, let alone tasted it.The red-skinned persimmon meat is mixed with eggs, and then a little chestnut powder ground from sweet chestnuts is added to make it more delicious. The three are mixed and made into dough, and then rolled into a moderately thick dough.
In addition to peeled walnuts, almonds, rock sugar, etc., the wrapped fillings also have green shreds cut from green plums, marinated with sugar for flavor, and crushed, it is the stuffing commonly used in traditional pastries. Although it is inconspicuous, it adds flavor A little bit of sourness neutralizes the overly sweet filling.
The dough is wrapped with sweet stuffing, pressed into a flat shape, baked on both sides in a slightly oiled pan, taking a bite while taking advantage of the heat, the fragrance is like cinnamon, and the fragrance is long-lasting.Xie Shi finished eating one carefully, and there was a little sweet juice on his fingers, and he even had the urge to lick it off. He turned around and saw Han Ji, good guy, he was already eating the fifth cake.
Xie Shi asked him, "How does it taste?"
After eating the fifth pancake, Han Ji said, "It's delicious, better than raw persimmons." It can be said to be a very simple compliment, but Xie Shi knows that the word "delicious" is Han Ji's highest evaluation of food That's right, the rest is known from the fact that he has already picked up the sixth persimmon and started to eat it.
Xie Shi discussed with him, but in fact he was reporting the whereabouts of the remaining persimmons, "I see that the two persimmon trees bear too much fruit, I'm afraid I can't eat them all, and it's a pity that they will rot if left unattended, why don't I leave you two baskets of fresh persimmons?" Let’s eat, and you can give some more to the people below. I will make persimmons and persimmon sugar for you with the remaining persimmons. I see that you have a cough. Illness, especially in autumn. Persimmon Frosted Sugar has the effect of relieving cough and anti-inflammation, and three tablets a day will surely relieve your autumn cough."
Persimmon Frosted Sugar, as the name suggests, is a sugar tablet made of the outer layer of icing sugar covered by persimmons. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", persimmon frost is persimmon semen, which is especially good for lung diseases.Xie Shi once knew a professor who was also a good friend of his tutor. The old man suffered from laryngitis, so he took this persimmon frosting sugar with him. The round yellow-brown flakes are a bit like throat lozenges. Like throat lozenges, the ice is cold and melts in the mouth, which has a miraculous effect on treating laryngitis.
These persimmon frosting candies are made by the professor's wife every year. Xie Shi went to help the old professor sort out the materials for a while, and found some documents that he needed, so he happened to meet this lovely lady to make them. Persimmon frosting sugar, sun-dried persimmons are frosted, clarified, boiled, shaped, and dried.Xie Shi saw the old man working hard, so he helped out a few times, but he was dragged by the old lady to teach this almost lost practice, but he didn't expect to use it here.
Thanking Shi for his kindness, Han Ji naturally responded, nodded, "Let Shi be the master."
------------
In Xiejia Farm, Huang Wu was humming a little song, happily supervising the discharge of water from the paddy pond on the ridge of the field, and beside him, a group of old farmers with hoes were also chatting.
"This season's rice is growing really well, it is better than the rice plants grown in the best fields in the best years in previous years. I think we can have a good harvest this year!"
"Yeah, it's really strange. We didn't plant this field in previous years. Why didn't it grow as well as this year? This year's age and situation can only be said to be average, not as good as last year. I see the next door. The rice in Tianzhuang looks similar to the growth of previous years."
Huang Wu on the side interrupted the topic, "Why else? The rice in our field grows so well, of course it's the master's credit. Do you think that the lime and the thick branches and rotten leaves were scattered in the field in the first place? Are you pretending to be gods and ghosts to worship the sky? And later, every rice growth period, the ear fertilizers ordered by the owner are very effective. Not to mention these fertilizers, the deep plow we replaced in the second half of the year is also useful. , how well our field is plowed!"
The other old farmers thought about it carefully, and it seems that this is the reason. In the past, they only knew how to bury their heads and work hard, but they didn’t notice that the rice needed to be fertilized with different fertilizers in different periods, and there was no such thing as green manure. It was a waste of such good things as straw. .
The old god Huang Wu said: "Look, with this momentum, our rice harvest this year is definitely the first in these ten miles and eight villages. If you work hard, you will definitely have a good year. The master also said that he will give us Sending out cotton clothes! My only worry is that the war in the north should not come to our south. I heard that people in Qizhou, which is not far from Fuzhou, have rebelled, causing all the refugees to run to us."
Several old farmers were also worried, and one of them said: "No, what are these things? It's hard to live for decades, and it turned out to be chaotic again. Manager Huang, you think there may be a rebellious army in Le County. ?”
Huang Wu was also worried, but he still comforted the people below, "Don't worry, haven't you heard? Fan Yao's group of inaction dog officials have now been imprisoned by Han Daguan, and now the Han family is taking over Le County. There are thousands of soldiers from the Han family guarding them, and the group of rebellious refugees have also been appeased, and they are working in the Han family farm not far from us in exchange for food! Don’t you know the skills of the Han family? , as long as he stays in Le County for one day, he will be like a magic needle for the sea, and the people of Le County can sit back and relax."
The Xie Family Farm was originally one of the Zhuangzi of the Han family, and the previous head of the family was the Han family, and it was blessed by it. Now when Han Ji, the former head of the family, is mentioned, he still respects and respects him.The old peasants who heard this were really relieved, "The Han family is a rare benevolent family. I have never heard of them oppressing the people, and they have always helped the poor. This is even more so for the current head of the family. My hometown was hit by a disaster and I was forced to flee famine to come here, and it was the Han family who settled in the farm and survived."
Some people were also worried, "I don't know what kind of county magistrate the imperial court will send to take over our Le County. If it's still Fan Yao's corrupt officials who are fed by the people, I'd rather be under the management of Han Daguan!"
"Keep your voice down! Is this something you can say? But what you said is right. It's better to let the head of the Han family take care of it. I heard that those refugees used to have no clothes and food. Now, they are also the same as The people we housed before are the same, they have clothes and food, and they are still building concrete houses, and they will move in when they are completed! Replaced by the original Fan Gouguan, see if he will give them a grain of rice!"
"Sure enough, the Patriarch of the Han family and our Patriarch's family are great benevolent people. As long as they are here, Le County will always be peaceful. I will ask my daughter-in-law to burn a stick of incense to the Buddha when I go back today, so that the Buddha can bless the court so quickly Send a new county magistrate down, let the Han officials take over!"
"I will also burn incense to the Buddha when I go back, and by the way, burn incense sticks to my master's longevity card."
"Your family also set up the longevity card of the master's family?"
The farmer who was asked scratched his head, and said with a naive smile: "I saw those refugees at home with the longevity cards of thanking the officials, and thought that I was also protected by the owner of the family. It is only after burning high incense, so I also set up one at home, but let the Bodhisattva bless us Xieguan to live a long life."
Other farmers echoed: "That's the truth!"
In Fuzhou Fucheng, Zhou Yinyu, who received the news from Le County, was so surprised that he dropped the glass teacup in his hand, "What did you say? The Han family took over Le County?"
"When did it happen? What about the original county magistrate Fan Yao and others? Tell me what happened in Le County!"
The messenger was sent by the county magistrate of Changning County next door to Le County. The magistrate of Changning County is related to Fan Yaonai by marriage. People came to Fucheng to report.
The messenger said exactly what the county magistrate told him, "My lord, the county magistrate of Le County originally followed your orders to drive away those refugees after closing the city, but who would have thought that those hungry and crazy refugees would be so bold as to gather together?" Thousands of people stormed the gate of the city! The Han family didn't know what to do, they even arrested the county magistrate of Le County and opened the city gate to welcome those refugees! Now all the officials of the county magistrate team of Le County are imprisoned In the middle of the day, the earth should not be called ineffective, my lord, is this Han family going to rebel?!"
The county magistrate of Changning County originally wanted Fucheng to send troops to rescue Fan Yao and the others, and punish the Han family by the way, but unexpectedly, when the superior Yufu Yin heard this, he kicked him to the ground instead, and angrily said: : "Nonsense! It's clear that Fan Yao dereliction of duty first, the Han family temporarily took over Le County for the safety of the people in Le County, and comforted the refugees, which is a great achievement, why rebellion!" He gave his own order to go on.
The messenger who was kicked was stunned. How is this different from what the county magistrate expected?The county magistrate of Changle County has just arrived and has only been in office for a year, and he has not yet figured out the status of the Han family in Fuzhou or even the southeast region.From the last years of the former dynasty, the Han family made their fortune as merchants, and then became officials to run the officialdom. Now more than a hundred years have passed, and the Han family has already become a prominent family in the southeast. The business world has responded.
That is to say, for some reason, the head of the Han family of this generation did not become an official or a businessman. The former Yuzhou Yin came to Fuzhou, and after investigation, he discovered that the most inconspicuous head of the Han family in the past is actually nesting in Le County!So when he was appointed, he even visited him, but the Patriarch of the Han family treated him lukewarm. Although he was annoyed, he had no choice but to give up.
The Yin of Yu Fu, who was treated coldly, went back to check the documents and materials of Le County and found out that the former governor of the state did not know why he was at odds with the Han family, so even the Dongcang Academy with the head of the Han family as the head of the mountain was not supported by the government. Even Xuetian was tampered with, Yu Huai found a reason for his cold reception, and thought it was the Han family's anger, so he gave up and looked for another opportunity.
The former Zhou Yin was at odds with the Han family, but Yu Fu Yin was not. He wished to climb up the big tree of the Han family to make a fortune. If he was lucky, he could use his strength to climb up.Now that the opportunity came, Yu Huai immediately sent a letter to Le County.This urgent letter was sent to Han Ji. He opened it and looked at the ten lines at a glance, and then raised his eyebrows.
Qiu Zhi, who was waiting at the side, saw that the Lord had not spoken for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Master, what did Yu Huai say in the letter? Did you say that a new county magistrate will be appointed here?"
Han Ji handed Yu Huai's letter to him, Qiu Zhi read it, smiled, cupped his hands at Han Ji and said, "As the Lord expected, this Yu Huai is scheming, this time he took the initiative to show his favor, he wanted to take advantage of this This time, I want to benefit from the Han family."
What Yu Huaixin said generally meant to praise Han Ji for his righteous deeds to turn the tide, and said that the original officials of Le County ignored the people and fled the city. The magistrate of Le County, this Yu Huai is also shrewd, in order to show favor and not to offend the Han family, he offered to appoint Han Ji.Along with the courier who delivered the letter, it turned out to be the county magistrate's official seal and appointment document from Le County!
All of this was within Han Ji's expectation, and he said, "Then, I will send a heavy gift to the Governor of Yu as a token of my gratitude." Individuals can lift it up.And thousands of taels of silver, to buy Han Ji the status of taking over Le County in an upright manner, is definitely worth the money, and of course it is a drop in the bucket.
Soon, all the people in Le County knew that the county magistrate of Le County had changed, and the newly appointed county magistrate was actually the one who temporarily took over Le County to protect the safety of the people in the city. Now the most popular patriarch of the Han family !Almost all the ordinary people in Le County were rejoicing, only the wealthy households in the city were somewhat critical. They were worried that Han Ji would take over as county magistrate, and their business would be oppressed by the Han family. Many wealthy households began to plan Go to Changle County next door.
Han Ji, who had crossed the Ming Road on the bright side, began to make drastic moves, and began to plan with Le County as the center.The first thing to start is the infrastructure, which was still influenced by Xie Shi. Now Xie's farm is full of concrete roads extending in all directions, and even the toilets have been converted into concrete buildings.The refugees who happened to be recruited had already finished building the concrete houses to accommodate them, so Han Ji began to send people to dig ditches, build roads, and even planned to build a watchtower on the corner of the city wall. Xie Shi saw that Han Ji was building Le County Become the posture of the camp fortress!
Feelings, he is still playing farming and management games here, and people have already started playing empires and civilizations...
After sighing, Xie Shi withdrew his attention and continued his farming operation, diligently caring for the young seedlings in the experimental field, hoping that some of them would grow new high-yielding varieties.
"I heard Tanwei that you didn't agree to the Lord's invitation?" Cen Yu, who was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, heard the news from nowhere, and even took time to ask questions excitedly. Feel.
Xie Shi's hands froze, his face was speechless: "Such a major rebellion, shouldn't we think about it before joining the group?"
Cen Yu was curious: "Then what are you going to think about? Let me tell you, Brother Wei, so I can analyze it for you."
Xie Shi dealt with him casually, running the train with his mouth full of words, "Then don't think about your wealth and life. If the rebellion fails, the consequences, and even if it really becomes a great cause, since ancient times, there will be no birds. story?"
Cen Yu said: "But you and the master are not close friends, you can't trust his behavior, can you?"
Xie Shi shook his head, "Is being a buddy the same as being a subordinate? Just like being a mountain chief is the same as being an emperor?"
Cen Yu was choked by his words, he gave a thumbs up as he thanked, "Xie Tanwei, the most daring person in the world that I, Cen, have met is none other than you."
When he thanked him, he replied, "For the time being, I will accept this as a compliment."
If someone else asks, Han Ji will ignore it. After all, not everyone in this world is qualified to ask him this question. His ambitions and ambitions don't need to be understood by others, and he doesn't need to confide in others. No such honor.
But when Xie Shi asked a question at this time, Han Ji didn't feel offended in the slightest.He knew in his heart that if you wanted to lure someone as pure and kind as Xie Shi, who had no desires or desires, you would not be able to impress him with high-ranking officials, power, gold, silver, wealth, fame and status, which ordinary people desperately desire. It is purely useless work, only the lord who has the world in his heart can get his followers.
Han Ji was not perfunctory or evasive at all. He came to Xie Shi's side, stretched out his hand to him, and invited: "Ji is willing to use what he has done in this life to become the master of Mingjun in Ah Shi's heart. Then Ah Shi, may you be willing to come from Xie Shi?" Overseer?"
Xie Shi looked at his outstretched hand, looked up, and looked into Han Ji's eyes, those eyes were covered by long eyelash feathers, and they were a little deep and couldn't see clearly. Xie Shi rarely saw a man with such long hair. The eyelashes, however, did not look feminine at all, but became more and more mysterious and deep. The long eyelashes seemed to be a seal. Once opened, they would be locked by the hunting eyes of lions and leopards under the deep blue shadow.
At this time, those eyes looking at Xie Shi waved off the sharpness and indifference of the past, and in the strange and bright star pupils, only firmness and honesty remained, making a solemn promise to him, and at the same time inviting him to go forward side by side.

Later, by chance, he and Han Ji became close friends without knowing it.In Xie Shi's previous life, due to his "physical constitution", he didn't dare to get close to others, for fear of bringing misfortune and disaster to others, so he never had any close friends. He never expected to relax and make friends normally in this life. He is a traitor who is determined to rebel!The remaining few close friends are still partisans of this rebellion!This day is really exciting.
Now his friend and traitor also sincerely invites him to join the cause of the rebellion. Whether to continue to be a fish after refusing, or to join the gangsters and fight the world together, this is definitely not a decision that Xie Shi can make in just a few breaths.Han Ji also knew, so he just offered an invitation, and gave an answer immediately when he didn't ask for thanks.The two of them pressed the matter aside for the time being.
Han Ji's current office is not in the county government office, but in the county magistrate's residence behind the county government office. Compared with the county government office that has been in disrepair for a long time, dilapidated and leaking rain for years, the county magistrate's residence can be described as painted buildings and carved beams. The jue is carved and beautifully carved, and there is even a garden in the mansion, with a three-storey theater building built in the middle of the garden, and a glimpse of the leopard can be seen, how the county magistrate Fan used to squeeze the people's fat and anoint for his own use.
There are exotic flowers and plants in the garden, and many precious trees have been transplanted. There is a folk proverb, "Red dates in July and pears in August, and persimmons in September." season.There are two persimmon trees more than five feet high planted in the garden of the county magistrate's mansion. It is estimated that the county magistrate Fan is a person who pays attention to Fengshui. Fire" good intentions.

Persimmon frosting sugar, sun-dried persimmons are frosted, clarified, boiled, shaped, and dried.Xie Shi saw the old man working hard, so he helped out a few times, but he was dragged by the old lady to teach this almost lost practice, but he didn't expect to use it here.
Thanking Shi for his kindness, Han Ji naturally responded, nodded, "Let Shi be the master."

In Xiejia Farm, Huang Wu was humming a little song, happily supervising the discharge of water from the paddy pond on the ridge of the field, and beside him, a group of old farmers with hoes were also chatting.
"This season's rice is growing really well, it is better than the rice plants grown in the best fields in the best years in previous years. I think we can have a good harvest this year!"
"Yeah, it's really strange. We didn't plant this field in previous years. Why didn't it grow as well as this year? This year's age and situation can only be said to be average, not as good as last year. I see the next door. The rice in Tianzhuang looks similar to the growth of previous years."
Huang Wu on the side interrupted the topic, "Why else? The rice in our field grows so well, of course it's the master's credit. Do you think that the lime and the thick branches and rotten leaves were scattered in the field in the first place? Are you pretending to be gods and ghosts to worship the sky? And later, every rice growth period, the ear fertilizers ordered by the owner are very effective. Not to mention these fertilizers, the deep plow we replaced in the second half of the year is also useful. , how well our field is plowed!"
The other old farmers thought about it carefully, and it seems that this is the reason. In the past, they only knew how to bury their heads and work hard, but they didn’t notice that the rice needed to be fertilized with different fertilizers in different periods, and there was no such thing as green manure. It was a waste of such good things as straw. .
The old god Huang Wu said: "Look, with this momentum, our rice harvest this year is definitely the first in these ten miles and eight villages. If you work hard, you will definitely have a good year. The master also said that he will give us Sending out cotton clothes! My only worry is that the war in the north should not come to our south. I heard that people in Qizhou, which is not far from Fuzhou, have rebelled, causing all the refugees to run to us."
Several old farmers were also worried, and one of them said: "No, what are these things? It's hard to live for decades, and it turned out to be chaotic again. Manager Huang, you think there may be a rebellious army in Le County. ?”
Huang Wu was also worried, but he still comforted the people below, "Don't worry, haven't you heard? Fan Yao's group of inaction dog officials have now been imprisoned by Han Daguan, and now the Han family is taking over Le County. There are thousands of soldiers from the Han family guarding them, and the group of rebellious refugees have also been appeased, and they are working in the Han family farm not far from us in exchange for food! Don’t you know the skills of the Han family? , as long as he stays in Le County for one day, he will be like a magic needle for the sea, and the people of Le County can sit back and relax."
The Xie Family Farm was originally one of the Zhuangzi of the Han family, and the previous head of the family was the Han family, and it was blessed by it. Now when Han Ji, the former head of the family, is mentioned, he still respects and respects him.The old peasants who heard this were really relieved, "The Han family is a rare benevolent family. I have never heard of them oppressing the people, and they have always helped the poor. This is even more so for the current head of the family. My hometown was hit by a disaster and I was forced to flee famine to come here, and it was the Han family who settled in the farm and survived."
Some people were also worried, "I don't know what kind of county magistrate the imperial court will send to take over our Le County. If it's still Fan Yao's corrupt officials who are fed by the people, I'd rather be under the management of Han Daguan!"
"Keep your voice down! Is this something you can say? But what you said is right. It's better to let the head of the Han family take care of it. I heard that those refugees used to have no clothes and food. Now, they are also the same as The people we housed before are the same, they have clothes and food, and they are still building concrete houses, and they will move in when they are completed! Replaced by the original Fan Gouguan, see if he will give them a grain of rice!"
"Sure enough, the Patriarch of the Han family and our Patriarch's family are great benevolent people. As long as they are here, Le County will always be peaceful. I will ask my daughter-in-law to burn a stick of incense to the Buddha when I go back today, so that the Buddha can bless the court so quickly Send a new county magistrate down, let the Han officials take over!"
"I will also burn incense to the Buddha when I go back, and by the way, burn incense sticks to my master's longevity card."
"Your family also set up the longevity card of the master's family?"
The farmer who was asked scratched his head, and said with a naive smile: "I saw those refugees at home with the longevity cards of thanking the officials, and thought that I was also protected by the owner of the family. It is only after burning high incense, so I also set up one at home, but let the Bodhisattva bless us Xieguan to live a long life."
Other farmers echoed: "That's the truth!"
In Fuzhou Fucheng, Zhou Yinyu, who received the news from Le County, was so surprised that he dropped the glass teacup in his hand, "What did you say? The Han family took over Le County?"
"When did it happen? What about the original county magistrate Fan Yao and others? Tell me what happened in Le County!"
The messenger was sent by the county magistrate of Changning County next door to Le County. The magistrate of Changning County is related to Fan Yaonai by marriage. People came to Fucheng to report.
The messenger said exactly what the county magistrate told him, "My lord, the county magistrate of Le County originally followed your orders to drive away those refugees after closing the city, but who would have thought that those hungry and crazy refugees would be so bold as to gather together?" Thousands of people stormed the gate of the city! The Han family didn't know what to do, they even arrested the county magistrate of Le County and opened the city gate to welcome those refugees! Now all the officials of the county magistrate team of Le County are imprisoned In the middle of the day, the earth should not be called ineffective, my lord, is this Han family going to rebel?!"
The county magistrate of Changning County originally wanted Fucheng to send troops to rescue Fan Yao and the others, and punish the Han family by the way, but unexpectedly, when the superior Yufu Yin heard this, he kicked him to the ground instead, and angrily said: : "Nonsense! It's clear that Fan Yao dereliction of duty first, the Han family temporarily took over Le County for the safety of the people in Le County, and comforted the refugees, which is a great achievement, why rebellion!" He gave his own order to go on.
The messenger who was kicked was stunned. How is this different from what the county magistrate expected?The county magistrate of Changle County has just arrived and has only been in office for a year, and he has not yet figured out the status of the Han family in Fuzhou or even the southeast region.From the last years of the former dynasty, the Han family made their fortune as merchants, and then became officials to run the officialdom. Now more than a hundred years have passed, and the Han family has already become a prominent family in the southeast. The business world has responded.
That is to say, for some reason, the head of the Han family of this generation did not become an official or a businessman. The former Yuzhou Yin came to Fuzhou, and after investigation, he discovered that the most inconspicuous head of the Han family in the past is actually nesting in Le County!So when he was appointed, he even visited him, but the Patriarch of the Han family treated him lukewarm. Although he was annoyed, he had no choice but to give up.
The Yin of Yu Fu, who was treated coldly, went back to check the documents and materials of Le County and found out that the former governor of the state did not know why he was at odds with the Han family, so even the Dongcang Academy with the head of the Han family as the head of the mountain was not supported by the government. Even Xuetian was tampered with, Yu Huai found a reason for his cold reception, and thought it was the Han family's anger, so he gave up and looked for another opportunity.
The former Zhou Yin was at odds with the Han family, but Yu Fu Yin was not. He wished to climb up the big tree of the Han family to make a fortune. If he was lucky, he could use his strength to climb up.Now that the opportunity came, Yu Huai immediately sent a letter to Le County.This urgent letter was sent to Han Ji. He opened it and looked at the ten lines at a glance, and then raised his eyebrows.
Qiu Zhi, who was waiting at the side, saw that the Lord had not spoken for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Master, what did Yu Huai say in the letter? Did you say that a new county magistrate will be appointed here?"
Han Ji handed Yu Huai's letter to him, Qiu Zhi read it, smiled, cupped his hands at Han Ji and said, "As the Lord expected, this Yu Huai is scheming, this time he took the initiative to show his favor, he wanted to take advantage of this This time, I want to benefit from the Han family."
What Yu Huaixin said generally meant to praise Han Ji for his righteous deeds to turn the tide, and said that the original officials of Le County ignored the people and fled the city. The magistrate of Le County, this Yu Huai is also shrewd, in order to show favor and not to offend the Han family, he offered to appoint Han Ji.Along with the courier who delivered the letter, it turned out to be the county magistrate's official seal and appointment document from Le County!
All of this was within Han Ji's expectation, and he said, "Then, I will send a heavy gift to the Governor of Yu as a token of my gratitude." Individuals can lift it up.And thousands of taels of silver, to buy Han Ji the status of taking over Le County in an upright manner, is definitely worth the money, and of course it is a drop in the bucket.
Soon, all the people in Le County knew that the county magistrate of Le County had changed, and the newly appointed county magistrate was actually the one who temporarily took over Le County to protect the safety of the people in the city. Now the most popular patriarch of the Han family !Almost all the ordinary people in Le County were rejoicing, only the wealthy households in the city were somewhat critical. They were worried that Han Ji would take over as county magistrate, and their business would be oppressed by the Han family. Many wealthy households began to plan Go to Changle County next door.
Han Ji, who had crossed the Ming Road on the bright side, began to make drastic moves, and began to plan with Le County as the center.The first thing to start is the infrastructure, which was still influenced by Xie Shi. Now Xie's farm is full of concrete roads extending in all directions, and even the toilets have been converted into concrete buildings.The refugees who happened to be recruited had already finished building the concrete houses to accommodate them, so Han Ji began to send people to dig ditches, build roads, and even planned to build a watchtower on the corner of the city wall. Xie Shi saw that Han Ji was building Le County Become the posture of the camp fortress!
Feelings, he is still playing farming and management games here, and people have already started playing empires and civilizations...
After sighing, Xie Shi withdrew his attention and continued his farming operation, diligently caring for the young seedlings in the experimental field, hoping that some of them would grow new high-yielding varieties.
"I heard Tanwei that you didn't agree to the Lord's invitation?" Cen Yu, who was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, heard the news from nowhere, and even took time to ask questions excitedly. Feel.
Xie Shi's hands froze, his face was speechless: "Such a major rebellion, shouldn't we think about it before joining the group?"
Cen Yu was curious: "Then what are you going to think about? Let me tell you, Brother Wei, so I can analyze it for you."
Xie Shi dealt with him casually, running the train with his mouth full of words, "Then don't think about your wealth and life. If the rebellion fails, the consequences, and even if it really becomes a great cause, since ancient times, there will be no birds. story?"
Cen Yu said: "But you and the master are not close friends, you can't trust his behavior, can you?"
Xie Shi shook his head, "Is being a buddy the same as being a subordinate? Just like being a mountain chief is the same as being an emperor?"
Cen Yu was choked by his words, he gave a thumbs up as he thanked, "Xie Tanwei, the most daring person in the world that I, Cen, have met is none other than you."
When he thanked him, he replied, "For the time being, I will accept this as a compliment."
