In the past few days, Yangzhou City can be regarded as very lively.

This year can be regarded as a good weather, coupled with the vigorous and thorough investigation of the occupation of fertile land by Hai Rui, the governor of the Heavenly Patrol, many people who were just hired farmers have their own fields, although from now on, they will have to pay their own land rent to the yamen, but compared to the previous years that have to pay a large amount of rent to the landlord every year, it is much better, this year's wind and rain are smooth, there is no drought and flood, and when it comes to autumn, this land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely welcome a good harvest, how can this make people unhappy, of course, Although this event is worth celebrating, after all, it will not be until two months later, and it is a bit too early to tell.

There is another thing, not only the people in Yangzhou City, the entire Nanzhili is spreading, and even all the way to the south, to Fujian there are people talking about this matter, and when it comes to it, the eyebrows are dancing, this year, except for the beginning of the year, there are a small number of Japanese robbers ashore, until now, the coastal areas of these three provinces have not reported the news of the Japanese robberies ashore, it is said that it is because the imperial court sent to Jiangnan Qin sent Zhang Fan Zhang in Fujian to order the imperial court's warships to go to sea to patrol, Su, Although the two places in Zhejiang did not send a large number of sea ships to the sea, but because Zhang Fan had the holy purpose of Longqing, these two places had to symbolically exclude a few warships from patrolling the coast according to Zhang Fan's words, although this was just a show, but the effect received was significant, the Japanese people used only a few people on weekdays to take a small boat, although the degree is not fast, but it is better to be flexible, in order to be able to quickly, and anytime and anywhere to land and rob, and then easy to escape, It's just that the warships of the imperial court appeared on the sea, and these Japanese who could only bully the soft and fear the hard saw the Ming warships that were dozens or hundreds of times larger than the small boats they were on, so they naturally had to flee from the wind, after all, it is important to rob money to make your life comfortable, but your own life is only like this, and it is not a joke, so you naturally have to cherish it.

However, it is precisely because of this that in the two months along the coast of the three provinces, it should have been the most rampant time when the Japanese invaders were most rampant, and there was not a single incident of the Japanese robbing ashore and plundering, and the only thing was that when Zhang Fan was in Fujian, the Japanese robbed the merchant ships returning to the sea for the first time at sea, and took away several ship owners, because Zhang Fan was afraid that it would cause any new panic, and did not let the Fujian side send any news to the people, so the people did not know about this matter, so, in this way, No one wants to rebel, there is no drought and flood, there is no robber on the shore, the people will naturally cheer, after all, for them, to be able to live in peace is what they yearn for the most, so that Zhang Fan, who has been pushed to the forefront, has become the object of gratitude to the people now, after all, from the beginning to the end, from the first appearance of the Japanese robbers, it was he who had to send warships to patrol the sea at the risk of impeachment of the imperial court, and he was the one who wrote to the emperor alone to ask the emperor to allow the warships to go to sea, It is easier for the Chinese people to obey the call, and now such a person who brings happiness to their lives appears in front of their eyes, and the distance is not far away, plus Zhang Fan himself feels that these people seem to be a little too enthusiastic, but after all, this matter is not wrong that he did it, although he can be regarded as relatively modest, but not to the point of lying for the sake of modesty, not to mention that this feeling of becoming a "hero" is really good, so he accepted it so calmly, This made some officials in the three provinces feel a little aggrieved, after all, what Zhang Fan did had not even been done for a month, and so that in these two months, there were no Japanese robbers to land and plunder, and those officials who deployed this summer's coastal defense can be regarded as meritorious people, but fortunately, they didn't care about anything, after all, the imperial court strictly ordered the warships to go to sea, and Zhang Fan could have such courage, which he deserved.

Therefore, these days, there will always be a few strange figures in front of the door of Yangzhou Zhangfu, most of these people are ordinary people, in order to thank Zhang Fan and come to visit him, and they also have a very strong sincerity, no matter how poor and difficult people are, they must bring even a few eggs laid by their own domestic hens, and there are also many businessmen who go to sea to do business, after all, what Zhang Fan did directly protect their safety, although these people have not encountered the robbery of ships by Japanese robbers, but people are like this, As long as you pay for them, no matter whether they get any benefits or not, there will always be some gratitude in the bottom of your heart, this scene really moved Zhang Fan very much, but he really didn't want to make such a good thing into a bad thing of "working the people and hurting money", so he had to let the guards in front of the door explain to every one of the people who came to visit Zhang's mansion, saying that they were busy with official business, and it was inconvenient to receive them, so let them go back. This not only did not let this matter gradually subside, but made Zhang Fan's reputation among the people rise a little more, exaggerating that Fan is a Qingtian master, which is unexpected by everyone, and even Zhang Yufang's family, if they are recognized on the street, they will also be welcomed and thanked by the people, which makes them embarrassed, but also very complacent in their hearts, after all, Zhang Fan is also a member of their Zhang family.

The third thing that is worth making Yangzhou lively, or has something to do with Zhang Fan, it has been rumored recently, saying that Zhang Fan wants to marry Luo Ling'er, the righteous sister of the eunuch Liu Shan, who is guarding the town here, as a concubine, originally speaking, although marrying a concubine is not an unpermissible thing, after all, this is the trend of this era, but after all, it is a concubine, and there is no need to hype, but this matter is related to Zhang Fan is different, not to mention people in other places, there are many different voices in Yangzhou City alone.

In other words, the common people of China are the strangest, they always have to connect things with the parties when they look at the problem, and the same is true when it comes to Zhang Fan marrying Luo Ling'er as a concubine, if there are many Zhang Fan who marry concubines, but people from other big families, then they will at most look at it as a lively scene; And if it is said that what kind of official marries a concubine, although the people will not say anything on the surface, they will secretly talk about whether this official has embezzled how much money and how much property has been wasted, but this matter is very different from Zhang Fan's ditch, then the situation is very different, after all, Zhang Fan has just kept their peaceful life, and he is a minister appointed by the emperor, how can he be a corrupt person, Zhang Fan's marriage to a concubine is regarded as a portrayal of a romantic and talented man, This was considered the top trend evaluation at the time, and it was not a negative impact.

Once upon a time, Zhang Fan himself had a dream, dreaming that he would become a big hero who saved the world, admired and loved by all the people, but he never thought that he would marry a woman, not a wife, just a concubine, but it would cause a real sensation, he also jokingly thought, maybe his own performance is a manifestation of winning the hearts of the people.

The above are all things that can be seen and touched in Yangzhou City, but for Zhang Fan to marry Luo Ling'er as a concubine, there are different opinions in the officialdom of all parts of Jiangnan, after all, many of them are related to Liu Shan, knowing the details of this Luo Ling'er, and some people have also been her guests in the scene, thinking that the beautiful girl who used to pant and moan under her crotch is now going to marry the prince and the princess of the dynasty as a concubine, to change the way is to say that Zhang Fan, who has a good future and unlimited future, is picking up their broken shoes. This makes these people's self-esteem extremely strong, but this matter is not something that can be bragged about casually, if it is not good, it will kill people, many of them have inquired about Zhang Fan's news, Jinyiwei's name is already scary enough, where do they dare to touch the tiger's buttocks, and some people even inquired about Zhang Fan's nickname "three-waisted card" in the capital court, which is really scaring people, and it is not an excellent magic weapon to scare these officials.

But even so, these people are optimistic about this matter, after all, Luo Ling'er is Liu Shan's person, and Zhang Fan is now going to marry Luo Ling'er as a concubine, these people will definitely not believe that Liu Shan is just taking the lead in it, he must have reached some kind of agreement with Zhang Fan, thinking about what they are doing under Liu Shan's hands, so that they can rest assured a lot, after all, what they originally did was to lose their heads, and now there is a big tree like Zhang Fan covering them in the court, How could they be unhappy if they were able to act boldly and boldly.

So, no, tomorrow is the day when Zhang Fan and Luo Ling'er worship heaven and earth, and today, the officials in Yangzhou City, and even the prefectures and counties around Yangzhou have rushed to Yangzhou to congratulate Zhang Fan.

These are the scenes in Yangzhou City these days, but the central character of this series of events, our protagonist Zhang Fan, who is considered by everyone to enjoy the blessings of all people, is worried, is the reason, naturally because of women,
