Under this line of words, there is also a small line of signature, which is naturally Fan Yu's name.

Zhan Zhao saw that this ugly character was written by Fan Yu, that is, he just smiled. For Fan Yu, he is still very impressed.

I just don't know what Fan Yu is doing when he writes to himself at this time.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Zan smiled when they saw Zhanzhao when they saw the envelope, for some reason.

The two glanced at each other before Gongsun Ce asked, "Brother Zhan, who is the letter that makes you so happy?" ”

Zhan Zhao replied with a smile: "Some time ago, before I came to join Master Bao, I passed by Caoqiao Town and met a very interesting little brother. This person's surname is Fan Mingyu, and he is just fifteen years old. But this little brother is a resourceful man. What's even more rare is that you can also cook a good dish. ”

He told Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce about his encounter with Fan Yu, which surprised the two.

Most of the fifteen-year-old teenagers in ordinary families are still ignorant and understand the world. can listen to what Zhanzhao said, Fan Yu is used to being old and sophisticated, and he has some wisdom and is close to demons. What made them have a good impression of Fan Yu was that this young man was also very filial to his stepmother.

As the saying goes, filial piety comes first. Fan Yu can have such filial piety, which also shows that this young man has outstanding character and is a talent that can be cultivated.

Although Bao Zheng is only in his thirties, he has already grown a beard, sitting, lying and walking very upright, and is very majestic.

"Brother Zhan, since he has sent a letter, you can watch it first, don't miss your business because of my curiosity." Bao Zheng said.

Zhan Zhao nodded, and then opened Fan Yu's letter and looked at it carefully.

After only reading a few lines, his face became solemn. After reading it, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and there was a lot of praise and admiration on my face.

"Master Bao, this letter is actually related to you." Zhan Zhao smiled and said to Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce both showed surprise, not knowing the meaning of Zhanzhao's words. Obviously, this young man named Fan Yu didn't know Bao Zheng, why did the letter he wrote have something to do with him?

"Show me." Bao Zheng took the letter from Zhanzhao's hand and looked at it intently.

At first glance, I was shocked by Fan Yu's calligraphy, this word is really ugly.

But after seeing the content, I couldn't help but read it out.

"Brother Zhan, my brother has been very worried since he left. The stepmother and brother are all well, and there is nothing wrong with them. However, there has been a famine in Chenzhou recently, and Caoqiao Town is not far away, and the victims have gathered. By the time my brother saw the letter, hundreds of hungry people had gathered in the town. ”

"My brother sold the grain from his own granary for twenty stone at a flat price, but it was difficult to fill the bellies of hundreds of hungry people. In a hurry, I also asked to meet Lord Bo Wangfeng, the lord of Xihua County, to discuss the construction of water conservancy and the policy of saving the people through work. The king saw Xihua Zhi County in thin faces, and he had been given permission to do this in a few days. ”

"I also know that my brother is in Chenzhou to put grain at Lord Bao Zheng, and I specially sent a letter to ask my brother to inform Lord Yu Bao. If the situation of grain release in Chenzhou is slightly stable, you can ask Lord Bao to allocate grain to Xihua County according to the priority, so as to lure the hungry people to do work for relief. ”

"The power of Xihua County may not be able to support it alone. And the hungry people in Chenzhou should not be allowed to get something for nothing, lest the hungry people take it for granted that it is appropriate to reward and punish them for their work. If grace and power are combined, then the hungry people can obey so that there will be fewer troubles. ”

"Although what my brother said was a hungry people, it was inevitable that my brother would be a little selfish. If the hungry people make trouble, the place where the younger brother is located will not be able to avoid it, and he may suffer from it. Therefore, I specially sent a letter and asked my brother to tell Master Bao to do it as appropriate......"

After Bao Zheng finished reading the letter, he looked at Zhanzhao and Gongsun Ce.

"This son is extraordinary." Bao Zheng said with great appreciation: "This official has just used the dragon head to correct Uncle Pang Guo's law, and he is also thinking about how to put grain in Chenzhou safely, and it just so happens that this young man surnamed Fan sent this policy." This son was thoughtful, and what he discussed was very feasible. ”

Gongsun Ce also nodded again and again, "According to the opinions of his subordinates, this policy can not only be implemented in Chenzhou, but also in the surrounding neighboring counties." In the past, the cost of building water conservancy was not small, but now if we replace wages with grain, we will not only kill two birds with one stone, but also save a lot of money. ”

If it weren't for the disaster year of the Great Song Dynasty, this labor would not be cheap. A person's salary a day is at least a few tens of yuan.

They received Fan Yu's letter here, and they perfected the details on this idea of cash-for-work.

And Fan Yu was at home, but he helped his stepmother-in-law Li put a long table in the courtyard.

At this time, it was already in the middle of the moon, and Granny Li asked Fan Yu to set up a tablet with Sister Liu's spiritual seat written on it.

Some melons, fruits and offerings were placed on top of the long table, and the tablet was placed in the center.

"Yu'er, is the brazier ready?" Granny Li asked a little sadly.

Fan Yu hurriedly responded: "Mother, the brazier is placed a little in front of you, and paper money and other things are also next to the brazier." ”

"Okay, Yu'er burn the brazier." Granny Li said.

Fan Yu lit a string of paper money with a fire fold, threw it into the brazier, and threw some more into it to make the fire burn.

He bowed and said, "Aunt Liu, my mother worships you today, and I, as a junior, will worship you first." Although Yin and Yang are separated, I also wish Aunt Liu peace and no troubles. ”

"Mother, this sister of yours must be someone very close to her mother, right?" Fan Yu got up and asked again.

Granny Li listened to Fan Yu's words, and she evoked a lot of thoughts, "She is indeed very close to her mother, if there is anyone closer to her in this world, I am afraid that only my father and mother are there." It's a pity that there are many grievances between Sister Liu and me. Even now, I don't know whether to hate her or not. ”

Fan Yu saw that Granny Li was in a bad mood, so he no longer asked, but persuaded: "People die greatly, since this Aunt Liu is no longer alive, just smile and hate." ”

"You're right, it's true. At my mother's age, it is better for you to see it, and this knot is difficult to calm down. Today's worship of Sister Liu is also to show off to her that God treats me well. My mother has such a beautiful child as Yu'er again, and God will not compensate me for drinking and pecking. Granny Li seemed to be talking to Fan Yu, but she seemed to be talking to Sister Liu's tablet.

Fan Yu didn't dare to interject, only listened. However, the so-called sister Liu of this stepmother, he can also conclude that it is the deceased Empress Dowager Liu.

"Back then, I was just a girl beside Sister Liu. But because of her own experience, she became a thorn in Sister Liu's eyes. Stepmother Li squatted in front of the tablet by herself, muttering non-stop, "If Sister Liu hates me, she should too." But, but...... My child will eventually be separated from my flesh and blood, and will not be recognized. Mother and son are by nature, but they can't be explained. Sister Liu, if you don't allow my mother and son to recognize each other, I won't recognize it. Sister, you really shouldn't implicate others, causing Kou Zhu, Yu Zhong, Qin Feng and others to die one after another, the means are too ruthless. Although they died at the hands of my sister, it was because of me, which made my sister feel a lot of guilt. ”

Fan Yu knew the story of the tanuki changing the prince, but he didn't know these details, but now he heard the person concerned tell it himself, but he also felt thrilled.
