It has only been more than a month, and the Foreign Affairs Office has been abolished and turned into a Baojia Bureau controlled by President Gu and other gentry.

The soap Li archers of the Yamen of the Inspection Division were either hired by the Baojia Bureau to teach, or they were invited by the Baojia Bureau to be the head of the three regiments of Hai'an, Baimi and Qutang. Not only did he remove the luggage cover, but he also didn't leave pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and he picked them out one after another, and tossed them until midnight.

Fang Shimei looked at the empty yamen and couldn't laugh.

The more Fang Shijun thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he couldn't help but complain: "Brother, what does Master Han mean by this, just move the things, it's his anyway, but we can't leave no one for us!" ”

"Don't say anything, close the door and go back to sleep!"

"Big brother, can you sleep this night, this is the yamen, you are the inspection master, there is no one under your hands, what will you do in the future?"

"What's the errand?" Fang Shimei took a deep breath, turned around and smiled bitterly: "Preventing bandits is the biggest errand in front of me, all of them went to the Baojia Bureau, and they were all assigned by the Baojia Bureau to train Xiangyong, even if Xu Lao Ghost is here, he won't say anything, not to mention the patrol inspection that I am temporarily assigned to act." ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, not to mention that there won't be any errands in the future, and even if there is, we don't need to worry about it."

"I don't care about anything, so aren't you a patrol master, what's the point of being an inspector?"

"When are you still talking about this!" Fang Shimei glared at his cousin, and said angrily: "How do you think I am acting for this shortage, do you think Old Ghost Xu has any good intentions." If it weren't for Master Han's help, not only would this inspection agency not be able to handle it for a few days, but he would even be chased by Old Ghost Xu to fight the bandits. ”

"Isn't it just defending the city, sister-in-law, they are all in the city, I think even if you go to defend the city, it is better than here."

"What do you know, you think you can defend the city when you go back to Taizhou?"

"It's better if you don't have to defend the city."

"What's good?" Fang Shimei asked rhetorically, and said with a gloomy face: "The bandits will soon be killed in Yangzhou, and Taizhou is only more than a hundred miles away from Yangzhou, if Xu Lao Ghost wants to defend Taizhou, he has to race against time to prepare, he will not leave all the battalion soldiers and Zhuang Yong in the city, he will definitely send some troops out of the city to intercept." ”

"Divide the troops out of the city to intercept it, can you stop it?" Fang Shijun asked in surprise.

"If you can't stop it, you have to block it, in the words of Old Ghost Xu, you can delay the thieves for a day."

As he spoke, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Fang Shimei was about to go out to see what was going on, when a young man in a long robe walked into the yamen and respectfully bowed: "Gu Jinyan, a student of Fengshan Academy, greets Master Fang. ”

"Are you Dean Gu's nephew?"

"It turns out that Master Fang still remembers Jin Yan, and Jin Yan was flattered." Gu Jinyan made another gesture, then looked back at the five or six young men who followed up, and said politely: "Master Yufang, my uncle knows that there is no one in the yamen, and he is worried about delaying your official business, so he asked Jinyan to bring these young men to listen to the dispatch." ”

"Nephew Gu Xian, are you here too?"

"If Master Fang doesn't dislike it, he is willing to work for Master Fang in his later life, and he is willing to help in the yamen."

Replacing all the officials and servants of the Yamen of the Inspection Department with the people of the Armor Protection Bureau, how could Fang Shimei not be able to guess Dean Gu's good intentions, and even dare to conclude that this was instructed by Han Xiufeng, otherwise he would not dare to borrow a few dares from Dean Gu. Thinking that this inspection was originally "picked up", it was not a good errand, Fang Shimei smiled happily: "It's good that Gu Xian's nephew can come to help, and I will bother my nephew in the future." ”

"What is Master Fang talking about, from now on, I will wait for everything to be based on Master Fang."

……

At the same time, Han Xiufeng was talking to Lu Daming and the brothers Liang Liu and Liang Jiu.

"It's not a way for your family to live in the Baojia Bureau like this, let alone sit on the mountain. After thinking about it just now, I finally thought of a place to go, and I don't know if you want to do it. ”

"Master Han, the little one is dragging the family, and I'm causing you trouble."

"No trouble, no trouble." Han Xiufeng motioned for the three of them to get up, and said with a smile: "You know what kind of friendship I have with Ambassador Han in Jiaoxichang, as far as I know, there has been a lot of new silting in Jiaoxichang over the years, and those lands are neither dangling land nor private land, Ambassador Han asks whoever to reclaim can go to reclamation, and when the reclamation is completed, it can be entered into the list of acres of land in the Yamen of the Salt Division, and you can also settle down in Jiaoxichang and become naturalized." ”

As the saying goes, a good man is not a soldier, but he is not a nail, Lu Daming and the Liang family brothers joined the army because they were so poor that they had no way out, and as a result, this battalion soldier did it for several generations, and the salary was not much and was deducted by the battalion officer, so that they had to go outside the camp to do long-term work or short-term work to subsidize the family.

They all dream of wanting a few acres of land of their own, but they can only think about it, after all, buying a house and land requires silver, and even if they can save some silver, whether they can buy land depends on luck. What's more, these green battalion soldiers are living a miserable life, and it's already good to be able to fill their stomachs, so how can they save money.

Lu Daming felt like he was in a dream, and Liang Liu and Liang Jiu were equally stunned, unable to believe that this was true.

Han Xiufeng looked at them with a smile, and then said, "You went to the Caodang Sect in Jiaoxie Field to teach Ji Daji Er, they have let go of the shotgun, and they have seen those places in the salt field. Not only is it not fertile, but the salt gas and alkaline gas are heavy, and the land here in Hai'an naturally cannot be compared, but a few more acres can still be harvested. ”

Lu Daming relieved himself and hurriedly said: "Master Han, I know that the newly silted salt field is saline-alkali land, but saline-alkali land is the same as land. The land here in Hai'an was not the same as saline-alkali land earlier, apply more fertilizer and take good care, and it can become fertile land in more than ten years at most! ”

"Master Han, I've heard of this, and I've seen it."

"What have you seen?" Han Xiufeng asked curiously.

Liang Liu said eagerly: "I saw the households in the salt field come down to the river to pick up the mud, and remove the mud at the bottom of the river as fertilizer, and the mud at the bottom of the river, if one acre of land can be watered with three or five boats of mud, it can be turned into good land in two or three years at most." ”

"So you are willing to settle down in the corner slope field, and are you willing to reclaim the newly silted saline-alkali land in the angle slope field?"

"Yes, Master Han, the little one is willing!"

"Master Han, you are the little reborn parents, the little one kowtows to you!"

"Get up, don't kowtow at every turn." Han Xiufeng put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Ambassador Han will come to Hai'an tomorrow, and I will help you when Ambassador Han arrives." Although the land in the newly silted land is barren, the stove households in the salt field also want it, so I can only help your family ask for ten acres. ”

"Master Xie Han, Master Xie Han......" Lu Daming was so excited that he burst into tears, he didn't know how to thank him, so he could only kowtow.
