June is also known as the lychee moon because it is the month when the lychees are ripe, and the fact that it can be named a month shows people's love for this fruit.

Lingnan is the production area of lychees, which has just been pacified by Xia Wanchun, so several carts of fresh lychees were sent to Jinling by nearly 1,000 cavalry. These people came by the way to transport lychees, and the real task was to escort the officials appointed by the imperial court to Liangguang to take up their posts.

The officialdom of Liangguang has been almost corroded by Ding Kuichu from top to bottom, and it is rotten from the roots. Hou Xuanyan simply came to a big change, starting from the county, all the minor officials were replaced.

On the outskirts of Jinling, Hou Xuanyan looked at the officials in front of him, most of them were scholars promoted by Enke in May, because Jing Shi Ziyi was not very skilled, and became the laughing stock of the Jiangnan literary circle. Hou Xuanyan chose people at the beginning, and more importantly, he compared their practical knowledge, so he selected a group of "scumbags". Others are practical talents selected from all over the world, or craftsmen who have made great contributions.

Grandpa Guo personally came to see him off, and these new Jinshi were all red and enthusiastic. They naturally know that they can go to high school because they are appreciated by the national government. Otherwise, according to the previous standards, they will not be able to stand out in their studies, and many of them will be at the bottom. There are also some honest craftsmen, because in shipbuilding, firearms, spinning wheels... and other various places, innovating technology, and being able to become an official, which is also unique since the Ming Dynasty, and these people regard Hou Xuanyan as a great benefactor.

Hou Xuanyan paced and raised his voice: "This time to Lingnan, the people have been harmed by Ding Kuichu, you have a long way to go." The first thing to solve is the attitude of the people towards the government. I don't want to see the people of Lingnan grit their teeth when they mention the imperial court and the government. Some of you are the respect of a county, some are classics, some are county officials, and there are high and low official positions, but the future is in your own hands. I will send people to inspect every month, but there is a traitor, Sun Peiliang from Dingyan, Yangzhou, is the best example. ”

Ding Kuichu has been exploiting and oppressing the people for a long time in Liangguang, and the folk customs of Lingnan have become a little violent because of this. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and if you want to thaw, you need to be subtle, and this kind of thing will be difficult to change for a while, unless it is like Shang Kexi in history, killing Guangdong basically kills all people. Otherwise, if you want to slowly change the relationship between the people and the government without killing, you can only hope for these grassroots officials.

The officials felt a chill on their backs when they heard this, and Hou Xuanyan then said softly: "Of course, if you have a fault, you will be punished, and if you have merit, your own government will not hesitate to reward it." As you know, I never look at his qualifications when I promote officials, as long as he has real skills, don't be afraid that he can't get ahead. Many of you are very young, and I hope that one day, we will be officials in the same temple as officials. When the time comes, don't forget that your father-in-law braved the heat to send me off, just invite me to my home for a glass of wine. ”

The officials laughed again, and instantly felt that Grandpa Guo was not high, but also a flesh-and-blood person. Ruthless is not necessarily heroic, and no one likes to work with someone who has no feelings.

Hou Xuanyan beckoned and beckoned the Hunan general, who hugged his fists and said, "Big handsome." ”

"Bring a message to Xia Wanchun, let him temporarily act as the governor of Liangguang, and wait for the imperial court to send a new official to take charge. During this period, we must practice diligently and do not slack off. Food, armor and weapons must be prepared. This is to prepare to deal with Zheng Zhilong, Hou Xuanyan naturally won't say it explicitly, but as long as these words reach Xia Wanchun's ears, I believe he will know what he means as soon as he hears it.

"Alright, it's not too early, let's go! Take good care of these scholars on the road, the Lingnan road is difficult to walk, and those who are physically weak can be treated even if they are treated. Now the weather is too hot to be bearable, so you will rush to the early morning in the evening, and find a place to rest and escape the heat at noon. When they arrived in Lingnan and sent them to their respective counties one by one, many of Ding Kuichu's remnants hid in the mountains, and the roads were not smooth. ”

"Don't worry, I see that all of you are in good health, and you should be able to take up your post smoothly."

All the officials bowed together and said, "Take care of the country." ”

"Let's go!"

Seeing this group of people leave the prosperous place of Jinling and rush to their respective posts, Hou Xuanyan turned around and boarded the carriage. Hu Bawan licked his lips and asked, "Dashuai, what should I do with these lychees?" ”

"Send one to the palace, give me a cart to the house, and you will divide the rest."

The soldiers burst into laughter and rushed back to their homes in Hou Xuanyan's carriage.

Hou Xuanyan used to eat a lot of this thing, and he didn't take it seriously, but many soldiers had never eaten it.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the soldiers outside, Hou Xuanyan loosened the curtain, thinking about the importance of businessmen.

Merchants are engaged in the circulation of goods, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on the small-scale peasant economy to produce and be self-sufficient if they want to truly connect the vast land of China.

Only through can we change, only when we change can we change, and only when we are flexible can we make progress.

If the small lychee was not transported from Guangdong by a businessman, who would be able to eat it for the ordinary people in Jiangnan?

In the same way, if everyone in the land of China is satisfied with their own one-third of an acre, the cultivation of the land, and the work of craftsmen, then although the world is big, it is only a loose group of people, and the Han people still have no way to stand out in the next big era.

The weather was hot, there was no wind, and Huang Ying'er in the inner courtyard took a few female dependents to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to escape the heat.

After Hou Xuanyan came in, he ordered someone to put the lychee at the door, and asked a few maids to bring it in a basket. I saw the pavilion from afar, and everyone was surrounding Bian Yujing, not knowing what they were doing. Hou Xuanyan casually folded a purple flower, it was so good that there was a warbler laughing in the pavilion, and it looked happy.

Hou Xuanyan became curious, and when he got closer, it turned out that he was watching Bian Yujing mix rouge and some cosmetics. I saw that she was wearing a scarlet thin skirt, with small white feet with no socks on her legs and feet, round ankles and toes, and her skirt swaying. Bian Yujing's face was serious, and several beauties around him were full of stars, watching attentively. There are small plates next to it in an orderly manner, all of which are the raw materials needed for blending. These things seem ordinary, but in fact they are not cheap, although Hou Xuanyan's family background is good, many of them cannot be bought, all of them were brought in by Bian Yujing from outside.

Rouge pollen is a must-have for young girls, made of mountain swallow fat flower dyeing powder, as well as picking flowers, and conditioner made of lavender soaked in sunflower juice, used to maintain hair, can emit a charming fragrance, that is, the "Lanze" fragrance chanted by poets for a long time. In this era, the world's most superb cosmetics production technology is in the hands of the Oiran of Qinhuai River. Bian Yujing is one of the leading figures, so if he shows his hand a little, he will be in the inner courtyard.

Only Huang Ying'er is absent-minded, if it is the nature of girls to love beauty, Huang Ying'er is a person who defends the sky. often tie a man's hair at will, and her dressing is mainly lightweight, but fortunately, she is naturally beautiful and has a good foundation, but she has a heroic beauty.

Huang Ying'er was the first to see Hou Xuanyan, and said with a smile: "Why did the husband come back so early today." ”

Hou Xuanyan is the most favored person, in front of so many people, he stepped forward and touched Huang Yinger's hair, and inserted the flowers folded in his hand into her bun.

The girls turned around and saw that Hou Xuan was coming, and Bian Yujing also stood up and put the half-finished rouge there. Bian Yujing gave up his seat to Hou Xuanyan, and Xiaoxiao and Ji'er rushed forward, one of them with one arm, and sat in the middle with him.

Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "I didn't go to the palace today, the weather is too hot, Lingnan has brought some lychees, I will bring them back and share them with you." I just saw off on the outskirts of the city, and I was sweating, so I went to take a bath and rest, and when the sun went down in a while, I went to the palace again. ”

Xiaoxiao and Ji'er rely on their status as half-slaves and half-concubines, and it is their duty to serve their masters to bathe and bathe, and it is not easy for others to rob them. The two fullest-breasted maids in the backyard of the Hou family happily held his arms and said, "The slave waits for the master to bathe." ”
