"I've seen the prince." Li Yi and Qin Dongyang walked over together to salute Xu Zixian, and Li Yi said with a little uneasiness: "It was my idea for the soldiers to come in armor to greet them, but so many businessmen and ordinary people came spontaneously. ”

"It's okay." Xu Zi first looked at the people who came to appease the envoy, and said casually: "As long as it's not a major matter, no one will take the initiative to embarrass me." ”

Li Yi looked at a few officials from Fuzhou and realized something.

It seems that after the new appointment, the status of the Nan'an Hou Mansion is officially confirmed, as long as the prince can eradicate Chen Yutai, I am afraid that the Nan'an Hou Mansion will go to the next level and become an existence equal to the Qi Wangfu and the Zhao Wangfu.

With such prospects and current strength, there really don't have to worry too much.

Accompanied by everyone, before Xu Zi rode his horse to the other courtyard, Xiuniang and Xiaomei were already waiting in front of the courtyard.

As soon as Xu Zixian arrived at the port, he sent someone to the mansion of the state city, and then he heard that Xiaomei and Xiuniang had moved back to live in another courtyard after the New Year.

Compared with the large, deserted and dilapidated Hou Mansion, the other courtyard is very popular because it is the place where Xu Zi first started, and the feelings and memories are mostly happy, of course, the two girls do not want to stay in the mansion for a long time in a daze with the air.

When Xu Zixian was leaving, he asked the Marquis of Changwen Mansion to take care of him, and in desperation, even Chen Zhengzhi followed.

However, he also happened to follow Wu Shi to learn Jingyi and also learn painting, Xu Zixian estimated that the eldest brother who would inherit the title of Marquis of Changwen in the future would have a greater purpose of learning painting.

For the children of the aristocracy, a good handwriting and a good drawing are much more important than familiarizing themselves with the scriptures.

Who can really have the ability to achieve a generation of Confucianism, just like the current old Xiangguo Xu Xiashang?

Don't think too much about it, being able to paint and paint a good picture is quite a great achievement.

Xiaomei and Xiuniang are both slightly red in their eyes, but generally speaking, they are quite calm, after all, although the risk of Jingshi is large, it is something that was not expected in advance, and when the news comes back, the overall situation has been decided, Xu Zixian is safe and sound, of course, there is no need to worry too much.

Even so, the little sister couldn't help but complain: "Let's just say that if you don't stop, how can you get into trouble wherever you go?" ”

"Silly girl." Xu Zixian rubbed the top of the little sister's head vigorously, and said with a smile: "What does it mean that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop?" I want to be quiet, people are plotting against me, if you don't fight hard, you really won't see me! ”

"I really didn't expect it to be so dangerous...... the little sister looked at Xu Zixian and muttered: "This is the Great Wei Jingshi, how can it be unexpected." ”

"Fortunately, the overall situation is settled now." Xu Zixian shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter to me in the future, I will never go to Jingshi again." ”

"It's best not to go." Xiuniang's eyes were red and said: "It's really worrying about death, and I'm afraid of death." ”

Chen Zhengzhi said with a smile on the side: "I'm afraid that if you don't go, you won't be able to understand it, after the lordship, there is still a three-year Hajj rule." ”

Xu Zixian said lightly: "Who else is talking about this old rule now?" After the chaos in Beijing, I am afraid that there will not be many people who respect the center of the imperial court. ”

"That's what I said." Chen Zhengzhi said to Xu Zixian: "After the matter came out, the news was transmitted to Fuzhou, and my father sighed that since then, the official family is like Tang Wenzong after the Manna Change, and no one takes him seriously." ”

"The emperor who has been arrogant and low-minded since ancient times is probably like this, and it is not worth saying more." Xu Zixian's attitude towards the current emperor is quite indifferent.

There may be people who sympathize with the diligence and thrift of the official family, recognize the private virtues of the Son of Heaven, and sympathize with his suffering, but Xu Zixian believes that sitting in that position, everything else is fake, and can maintain the stability of the center, the implementation of national politics, the two major events of the country, national defense and culture and education, can do a good job of these two major events, whether it is waste and extravagance or diligence and frugality, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, military, political, cultural and educational, this is the avenue, and the cornerstone of the avenue is stable, so we can talk about the rest.

Today, the biggest problem is that he can't govern the country, and this is his biggest crime.

He wears a few old robes and stays up a few nights, what is it?

How many people have been displaced, lost loved ones, or died in the ditches? The accumulation of white bones is the proof of the immorality of the Son of Heaven!

Then there is the harassment of the world, the chaos of the people, how many old people, infant children or died of illness, or starvation, all kinds of human tragedies, all of which are evidence of the incompetence of the Son of Heaven.

Sitting in that chair and being powerless is the greatest sin!

"The matter of the Eastern Domain, the Ninth Uncle and they all agree with it...... Chen Zhengzhi said: "We will also try our best to cooperate, and when you settle down, we will talk in detail." ”

"Of course, it depends on your uncles and brothers." Xu Zixian was also not polite, and said, "Tomorrow morning, the eldest brother will go back to Fuzhou City with me, how about it?" ”

"You're working so hard." Chen Zhengzhi made a joke, Xu Zixian's prestige became heavier, and now there are few people who can say such a naughty joke to Xu Zixian like Chen Zhengzhi.

"There's no way, I'm in a hurry to go back to Nan'an......"

Among the people present, except for Xu Zixian, the most eye-catching was of course Fang Shaoqun, who was standing on the side and was silent.

Li Yi and Kong He, Fu Qian and others were quite curious about Fang Shaoqun, Xu Zixian wrote a letter when he left Beijing, and sent people back to Fuzhou by land, the ability of Fang Shaoqun, his origin, and the reason for his return, Xu Zixian made some explanations.

For Li Yi and others, it is of course a good thing to have an extra high-ability companion, and it is not impossible for the Nan'an Hou Mansion to continue to go up, and become a public mansion, or even a royal mansion, Li Yi thinks that he is average, but he has the current status as an old man of the old marquis, and he has his current status with his conscientious work, as long as he does not make mistakes, no matter how much career Xu Zi does first, the position of the head of the civil official must still be Li Yi's...... Others can't rob it, with Li Yi's loyalty and qualifications, Xu Zixian will not replace it with someone else.

However, Kong He, Fu Qian and the others were slightly embarrassed, Fang Shaoqun's experience and talent were definitely above them, and I am afraid that there would be competition in the future.

Fang Shaoqun himself has always been indifferent, his temperament is quite similar to Liu Yi's uninhibited in his bones, that is, he is proud of everything that everyone cherishes, and he doesn't care about fame and wealth.

Come to think of it, Fang Shaoqun can reach the peak of the staff in one step, once Liu Zhiyuan succeeds, he will be the prime minister of the government and the opposition, Fang Shaoqun is the prime minister's most relied on staff, and it is not too difficult to add officials to the knighthood, in terms of financial endowment, Fang Shaoqun took one or two thousand pieces of private money with him when he left Beijing, and the more than 60,000 yuan that Liu Zhiyuan gave him stayed in Liu's mansion intact, and it is estimated that he was also confiscated by the imperial court.

How could such a person be a newcomer and compete with the staff of Nan'an Hou Mansion for petty profits?

"There are a lot of things going on in the Hou Mansion now, and there are a lot of things." Li Yi said: "I don't know where to start? ”

"The important thing is to say it right." Kong He said: "Bai Yin took over the official, and went to Qizhou to take office first?" ”

Fu Qian said: "We still have to hurry up and repair all the ships, add beds and crossbows and other sharp weapons, and be able to exterminate Chen Yutai on the sea to fight, and if Chen Yutai is not destroyed, it is always a nail, hanging there, making people uncomfortable." ”

Chen Zuocai bowed down and said: "I went to Beijing once, back and forth between the north and the south, the biggest impression is that all industries are withering, the people are not living, the best way is to lay a solid foundation, so the matter of immigration is of course the most important thing, open up the wasteland and farm, is to make the displaced people settle down, the 6,000 households given by the prince and the marquis are also the foundation of the Nan'an Hou Mansion to settle down, if the Hou Mansion plus the Nan'an Ferry here the river ferry storage income, plus the levy of the regimental training fee, there is the foundation of shipbuilding, training, and building ordnance. ”

Xu Zixian didn't speak first, and nodded slightly when everyone spoke, not showing preference.

His position is unbreakable, and the entire foundation was founded by Xu Zixian himself, so he doesn't have to worry about authority and prestige, but there is a side effect, once Xu Zixian himself rushes to speak first, others can only follow suit, at most pick up the gaps, and can't get everyone's insight.

Chen Daojian bowed down and said: "The matter of the water camp is also imminent, during this time, many strong men have come to inquire, I am afraid that if it is delayed any longer, others will not know whether Nan'an will engage in water camp or not, and there will be people who will go elsewhere to make a living, and they will lose the available strong men in vain." In addition, I mentioned to Dr. Wu that there is a literacy class in the army, and Dr. Wu agrees with it, saying that it is a good thing that there is no class in teaching, and this matter should not be delayed, and it should be implemented as soon as possible......"

Xu Zixian smiled at this time and said: "The sword and sword shadow of the Jingshi are very anxious, but after coming back, they are entangled in everything, and they are also anxious." Brother Shicai Chen said that I was working hard, and it seems that what he said is true. ”

Everyone laughed, and Li Yi said with a smile: "This is just a literary matter, there are still many things about the recruitment and training of military soldiers, and Qin Sima has not yet come to talk about it." ”

Qin Dongyang and Liu Yi, Zhang Huchen, Lin Cunxin, Wu Weisan, Jin Baoyi, and Gao Shilai, Tian Heng and others were all sitting on the other side of the hall, the sitting posture of the warriors was quite rigorous, with their hands on their knees, their waists straight, and each of them were cut quite fitting warrior arrow robes, with sleeves, belts, truncated hems, wearing riding boots, and wearing a barrier knife around his waist, hearing Li Yi's words, Qin Dongyang bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "The training has been carried out normally according to the orders of the prince, and it will basically return to normal after the year, because the formation is successful, So now I want to practice some poking skills training, and the method of array is also the top priority. In addition, considering that many pirates can also array combat methods, and there are also iron armor, so when training in the array, adding a Mo knife to it is convenient to cut through its iron armor defense, whether it is appropriate or not is for the prince to decide. In addition, it is true that the recruitment of soldiers of the water battalion should not be delayed any longer, at least it must be determined before immigration. ”

It turns out that there are quite a lot of quotas for the Nan'an regiment training water camp among the homeless people and the local strong men, for the displaced people, the treatment of the military pawn naturally does not need to be mentioned, full of attractiveness, and the same is true for the local strong men, after joining the group to practice the martial arts, a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are exempted, the income is high, and the welfare treatment is good, and the Nan'an Hou is quite kind to the people below, this reputation has also spread, and many people have a very strong yearning for the group training.

If the martial arts do not recruit people, naturally there is nothing to say, once the martial arts recruit novices, it is conceivable that there are many applicants.
