If it was in the Western Han Dynasty and other peaceful and prosperous times, Han Xuan naturally did not dare to make and sell illicit salt. Because the government has a special institution for making salt, salt and iron are monopolized. Han Xuan knew that the real troubled times were coming after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the Han Ting's control over local forces would become weaker and weaker. Han Xuan is now a local petty official, and he has the ability to organize people to do salt making and iron smelting, and he wants to quickly develop his power before the overall situation of the world comes.

Luo County has obtained a lot of financial funds through the development of the past two years, which have been used by Han Xuan to build the county seat and Luoping Pass. At present, the problem is that there are many people and there is little land, and because the development momentum of Luo County is booming, it has attracted many people from other villages and displaced people who have fled. If the displaced people cannot be allocated land to work, it will become a factor of instability, and Han Xuan can only alleviate social contradictions by recruiting displaced people into the army. However, in this way, the quality of the soldiers was uneven, which lowered the overall combat effectiveness of the army.

Han Xuan led people to build a salt workshop, recruited a large number of craftsmen to make refined salt, and obtained a lot of money by selling salt. Changsha is not close to the sea, so it cannot obtain sea salt, so it can only dig brine in salt mines and boil brine to obtain well salt. However, how many salt mines can there be in such a small place as Luo County, Han Xuan's production of refined salt is mainly to buy well salt from the surrounding areas, and then purify the refined salt and sell it, which requires a lot of money at a cost alone.

The development of Luo County has entered a saturation period, and the only way to develop is to expand the territory. But he is currently only a county lieutenant, if it weren't for the military power of Luo County, where would the county commanders Qian Rui and Zhao Mu listen to him.

Han Xuan and Cao Xuan were inspecting the work of Tuntian, and a servant came over and handed Han Xuan an invitation and reported: "This is a wedding card sent by Zhao County's subordinates. ”

Han Xuan was puzzled: "Wedding card? He took it and took a look, and the wedding card said that Zhao Mu had married a young lady of the Fan family again. Han Xuanxin said that it had only been a long time since his ex-wife Li Shifufa, and he had married a wife again. Wait a minute, if Zhao Mu had long known that the Li family was a murderer, so he didn't have the strength to protect her, and let Han Xuan put him to death in accordance with the law, so that he could marry a younger and more beautiful woman. After all, the Fan family is also a big family, and their young lady must not be a concubine. Zhao Mu took this opportunity to show his clear distinction between public and private, bought people's hearts, and married the Fan family as his wife, which was supported by the Fan family. If that's the case, then this person's city is really too deep.

Han Xuanhe took Cao Xing to Zhao Mu's mansion, only to see that Zhao's mansion was full of lights, there were many guests in front of the door, and many people came from other places.

When I came to the hall, I saw that the account room was receiving congratulatory gifts and writing down the names of the givers. Han Xuan asked Cao Xuan to come in with a few entourages carrying several large boxes of copper coins, and for a while, everyone's eyes in the hall were on Han Xuan, and he said in his heart who was so generous.

When the account office saw Han Xuan, he hurriedly saluted him and said, "The villain has seen Han County Lieutenant." ”

Everyone in the hall heard the words and discussed, and some people were amazed: "This person is Han Xuan, the county lieutenant of Luoxian?" I didn't expect him to be so young. ”

"Don't look at his age, this person has participated in the conquest of the Yellow Turban before, and was awarded the title of county lieutenant for his merits. In the past few years, he has exterminated the bandits in several surrounding cottages! ”

"Not only that, but I also heard that he has been in Luo County for two years, controlled the military and political power, and governed Luo County prosperously. Not long ago, this person solved several strange cases in a row, and it was really like a god, and it spread in several surrounding counties. Even Lord Taishou praised it! ”

“……”

Many of them came from other places and didn't know Han Xuan's deeds, and now after this rumor, everyone couldn't help but praise Han Xuan.

From time to time, someone came over to talk to Han Xuan and make friends.

"Hehehe, I don't know if the county captain Han is driving, and he is missing the distance!" Zhao Mu walked over with a few people and said to Han Xuan.

Han Xuan bowed to him and said, "When I heard that Zhao County Cheng was married, I naturally wanted to come to congratulate him." ”

Zhao Mu glanced at the several large boxes of congratulatory gifts on the ground and said, "It's an honor for County Lieutenant Han to come. Why is it so important, I am really flattered below! ”

Han Xuan smiled and said, "Hey, I have a game with Zhao Xiancheng's colleagues, it should be like this." ”

Han Xuan saw a lewd-looking and short-looking man standing next to Zhao Mu and asked, "Zhao Xiancheng, I don't know who this one is next to you?" ”

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Oh, this is my brother Zhao Fan." Zhao Fan, I haven't come to see Captain Han yet. ”

I saw Zhao Fan step forward and bow to Han Xuan: "It turned out to be the captain of Han County, I have been looking up for a long time!" ”

When Han Xuan heard Zhao Fan's name, he thought of Zhao Mu's wife Fan, and immediately reacted. It seems that he is really the Zhao Fan in history.

In history, after the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei recommended Liu Qi to serve as the assassin of Jingzhou, and then conquered the four counties of Jingzhou in the south. Zhao Fan served as the Taishou of Guiyang, and together with Jin Xuan, the Taishou of Wuling, Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, and the Taishou of Lingling, Liu Du surrendered to Liu Bei. Later, Zhao Fan was replaced by the partial general Zhao Yun as the Taishou of Guiyang, at that time, Zhao Fan's sister-in-law Fan was widowed and had the beauty of the country, and Zhao Fan hoped to promote the marriage of Fan and Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun excused himself and said: "I have the same surname as you Zhao Fan, and your brother is just like my brother, so it seems inappropriate to combine with your sister-in-law." So he insisted on resigning him. At that time, someone persuaded Zhao Yun to accommodate her as his wife, Zhao Yun said: "Zhao Fan was actually forced to surrender, his mind is unpredictable, there are many good women in the world, why should I really do this?" In the end, I still didn't marry Fan. In the end, Zhao Fan really had a different heart as Zhao Yun expected, and fled, Zhao Yun didn't mind at all, and then Zhao Fan disappeared.

When Han Xuan thought of this, he immediately regarded Zhao Fan as a flattering villain and disdained him. He wants to marry his sister-in-law to Zhao Yun, he must want to have a relationship with Zhao Yun, it seems that he is really a straw bag like Han Xuan in history. However, on the surface, he still flattered: "Zhao Fan Gongzi has a good appearance, and he will definitely be rich if he is not an official in the future." ”

Zhao Fan said: "Lord Xie's auspicious words." I have also heard my brother talk about the deeds of adults, and I am the same age as me, so I have this achievement, which is really admirable to my subordinates. ”

Zhao Mu turned to the hall and said, "Thank you for deigning to come all the way to congratulate you, the banquet has been prepared, please go and sit down!" ”

Han Xuan and the others followed Zhao Mu to the banquet and took a seat. A few people who were very close to Han Xuan's desk were whispering: "I don't know how beautiful this Miss Fan family is, she is worthy of Zhao Xiancheng." ”

"I heard that this Miss Fan family has a hidden national color and heavenly fragrance when she first arrived in the New Year, I don't know if it's true or not?"

…………

Han Xuan listened to their discussions, thinking to himself that this Zhao Mu is too old to eat tender grass, a thirty-year-old person should marry a fifteen-year-old girl. This Fan is only the same age as Su Qiaoer, and he has already married a wife. Of course, Han Xuan seems a little uncomfortable as a modern person, but this is normal in ancient times. In ancient times, the fifteenth year of the woman was called "and the year", also known as the "year of the year". The flute is a hairpin, and the hairpin is the age when the woman has reached the age where she can insert the hairpin, and it also refers to the age when she should get married.

Zhao Mu took the wine and went down to the guest room to toast with everyone, and he saluted Han Xuan and said: "Today, Han County Weiken is here, and I am deeply honored. Han County Lieutenant hasn't married a wife yet, right? When you get married, you will be able to beg for a glass of wine! Hehehe. ”

Han Xuan picked up the wine and saluted him and said, "When the time comes, Xuan will personally welcome Zhao County." Today is the day of great joy in Zhao County, we all drink happily, but Zhao County Cheng must not drink too much, so as not to make Mrs. Zun wait for a long time. Hahaha! ”

"yes, we're going to make a hole in the house!" A relative and friend of Zhao Mu chimed in.

Han Xuan didn't expect that the Han Dynasty would have the custom of haunting the cave room, but these had nothing to do with him, and he had to go back to deal with official business after the banquet.

As soon as Han Xuan finished talking to Zhao Mu, a group of people squeezed their heads and introduced their sisters and sisters to Han Xuan, which made it look like a salesman, which made Han Xuan have a headache.

"County Lieutenant Han, I have a younger sister who looks like a flower. How about talking to adults about this family business today? A rugged man came up and picked up the wine and said to Han Xuan.

"How can your sister be as beautiful as my daughter, Han County Lieutenant, marry my daughter if you want to marry." Another person also came up and said.

“……”

Han Xuan said that he was drunk and Cao Xuan returned to the county office, and at this time, Dong Ping hurriedly ran to report to Han Xuan: "My lord, it's not good!" The district star is reversed, and within a few days, the three counties of Youxian, Tuling, and Ancheng have been broken! ”
