Mei Chun set off at dawn the next day to leave Luoshan for Guangzhou, and in the cabin, a roll of white linen was spread out on the deck, and a long picture scroll was stretched out in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe oil paint used in this painting comes from Taixi, which is rare in the Ming Dynasty. The picture drawn above is the appearance of officers and soldiers raising shields and spears, tearing and fighting against the barbarians.

The officers and soldiers in the painting are clearly dressed and armored, and their appearance is lifelike, and Chen Luan is charging forward with a gun, which is no different from himself. On the hillside, Ling Yunyi, Mei Chun and other senior officers stood at a high place to command, and they were also calm and calm, with the demeanor of a general.

Through the use of paint, the blood on the soldiers' bodies and the smoke of the battlefield become extraordinarily real. Looking at this painting, people feel as if they are in the battlefield, listening to the drums and horns, watching the generals bask in blood, and the master will strategize.

Although he knew that the content in this painting was very medium, and there was not even a single point in it, Mei Chun still looked at it with enthusiasm, as if he had really commanded on the spot during the war. praised again and again: "Good! Well drawn! Thinking about this hand-painting technique, it can be called a fairy method, hurry up and roll it up, don't get it dirty. When he returns to Guangzhou, the official will revise the book and ask for a reward for the front-line soldiers! The officers and men of the three armies have worked hard, and they have worked hard to retreat, and I don't know how much time it will take him to have such a long picture scroll. ”

"Yes, it's really good to think about forgetting to sleep and eat just to paint such a picture, and he also said that he would make a few plain pictures separately and send them to the history of the pillar." Chen Lin added in due course. Mei Chun twisted her hand and shook her head again and again: "I can't help it...... How does this work? I can't let Retreat do such a thing, I really deserve it......" Having said that, the pride is still overflowing.

On the sentry ship on which the officers and soldiers were riding, a long scroll was unfolded, and the officers and soldiers were also depicted fighting with the barbarians, but for the officers and soldiers, they did not care about the big people, but about themselves in the painting. Someone excitedly pointed to the scroll and said, "It's me...... That's me! ”

"Nonsense, who can't see that you're so ugly! You see, that's Song Dusi, that's the general ...... Wang."

"Why are there still those big men?"

"Nonsense, who's going to ask for a bounty for us without them?"

Many military athletes found their appearance from it, and they were so excited that they didn't know what to say. The total number of paintings is limited, and it is impossible for one person to paint them, that is, to put them in the barracks for everyone to see, for the soldiers, there is no direct benefit.

But these soldiers have long been accustomed to the life of bloodshed and then forgotten, and no matter how much they pay, they take it for granted. Even if a warrior who kills countless enemies in a war will not be taken much seriously in the barracks, how it should be or what, and the army will always be the biggest commander. Even if you raise a layer of people, you can serve as soldiers. Even if the standard battalion soldiers are slightly better treated and don't have to be slave workers, don't expect to be really valued by anyone. Fan Jin, the confidant of the old man of the army, actually remembered the appearance of these Qiu Ba?

In the late summer and early autumn, many officers and men felt like a brazier in their hearts, and they were extremely warm. Someone whispered, "Where is Fan Gongzi now?" I'm going to kowtow to him and thank him for looking at us. ”

"He's going to be gone, he can't go with us, he's going to be a day late."

"The end...... That's good, there's always a chance to repay it......"

Fan Jin left Luoshan and headed straight for Guangzhou a day after Mei Chun's departure. The appearance of the boat he took was no different from that of the inland river grain boat, because Luo Shan used soldiers, and all kinds of materials were counted on water transportation, and for Luo Shan, such ships flowed endlessly, and they did not know how many there were every day, and they would not attract people's attention. However, the tall official title plate with the words "Governor of Qincha Liangguang Military Affairs" written on the bow of the ship reminds all kinds of people that this boat is not simple.

It was precisely because of the effectiveness of the official title plate that more than a dozen women on the boat went in and out openly, fiddling with swords at will, and no one stopped or interrogated them at the sailors or sentry posts along the way.

In the cabin, Lin Haishan and Fan Jin sat opposite each other, listening attentively to his explanation. After the township examination, it is necessary to prepare to go to Beijing to catch the examination, and when it comes to the high school examination, I don't know where to be distributed to become an official, and it is not easy to meet again. And Lin Haishan's career can only be regarded as just starting, according to Fan Jin's analogy, her new ship can only be regarded as taking shape, as for the details, there is still a lot of lacking, so she can only seize all the time to listen to Fan Jin's lectures.

She herself knows that the imperial examination is imminent, and for Fan Jin, the first thing is obviously to revise for the exam, and she is willing to take the time to talk about this, which can be regarded as giving enough face, and she is very polite in her words and attitude, and she is also very generous in paying tuition. Fan Jin lectured and handed her a booklet

"This is what I have summarized myself in the past year or so, including what I told you, as well as some more basic things, and some of which I learned from Ling Yunyi. From the perspective of building a family business from scratch, it is very useful, and I hope it can help you. ”

Lin Haishan transported materials this year, and she also followed Fan Jin to read and write, and literacy was not a problem. She took it and looked at it a few times, "This is ...... A lot of money and food accounting, as well as handling cases and resolving disputes? What do we want to do with this, whoever has a dispute will fight, stand justified, lie down and fight the street. ”

"That's when there are fewer people, and when there are more people, you have to use rules to restrain you, not with fists. This mode of the jungle is only suitable for bandits, and if you want to make a pattern, you must first learn to protect the weak. ”

Fan Jin instructed Lin Haishan and looked at the top of the cabin again. "Many people in Luoshan only see my efforts, but few people know about it, and I have learned a lot of things, which are useful for you and me. In fact, there are countless capable people around the army, and he himself is well versed in the needs of the soldiers, so where do you want me to be a scholar and praise the painting of military aircraft. In addition to coming up with some ideas and running around to contact businessmen, most of the time, the army is teaching me how to be an official and how to deal with general affairs. ”

Although the establishment of Luoding Prefecture is only an idea, during the period of stationing in Luoshan, Lingyunyi has already begun to simulate on paper the administrative operation after the establishment of Zhili Prefecture, as well as the problems that may be encountered. He would ask Fan Jin to deal with some specific administrative problems, and then he would give instructions, which was actually a kind of teaching.

The sage book can't really teach people how to do things, and it's not surprising that the scholars of high school jinshi are confused when they go to the place, and even the official of the seal is controlled by the officials. In the final analysis, it is a lack of work experience, and it is impossible to work without Xu officials.

Ling Yunyi's professor is equivalent to letting Fan Jin simulate being a magistrate in white, and at the same time use his years of work experience to give guidance. This kind of treatment may not be enjoyed even by children and nephews, and this kind of private professor is not only grateful to Fan Jin, but also the biggest gain in this Luoshan Campaign.

He said while eating lychee:

"In that place on Dayuan Island, no one has noticed it yet, and all forces are in a window period. I heard that there is a big-bellied kingdom there, but a group of natives are better than Francos or red-haired ghosts. When you get a foothold there, build castles, and emigrate, you need to use these things, and it is actually more difficult to build a city from scratch than to establish a state in Zhili. But fortunately, a blank piece of paper is easy to paint, and while you teach people with a knife, you also use rules to manage people, even if this rule is actually very unspoken, others can't say anything. As long as order can be established, even if it is bad, it is better than no order. Let the big fist not bully the small fist, and the capable can't bully the incapable, this place can be regarded as a little bit of appearance. ”

Lin Haishan remembered them one by one, and said: "We have already been there, and it is really good, and the mountains and fields are full of deer." That's so many deer, enough for how many people to eat......"

"Yes, if you have deer, you can have food, and if you have food, you can survive, so I said it's a treasure land. In addition to being edible, deer can also be sold, deer skin antler deer fetus. So don't just kill, but also remember to raise, otherwise you won't be able to do it when you eat it all. There are more than just deer, as far as I know, camphor and wood. You blockaded the Xijiang River this time, and sent military funds, especially those cinchonas helped the army a lot. The army knows in its heart that as long as you don't go too out of line, the officers and soldiers will not stare at you. After a few years as a senior officer, as long as I am admitted to the Jinshi, there will be hope for your recruitment in the future. ”

Lin Haishan nodded, "Don't you recruit anyone in the court, you taught me, I wrote it down." Cinchonas are not only useful to you, but also to us. Relying on the recipe you said, cinchona two coins and wine, a lot of people who have played the pendulum have already been fine. How do you know these things? ”

"I'm a scholar, how can I not know?"

"Isn't the army a reader, he doesn't know."

"There are so many problems in being a leader, I am very embarrassed." Fan Jin snorted, "Do you believe that people are born to know?" ”

Lin Haishan tilted her head and thought for a while, "If someone else says this to me, I will slap him and ask him what he is like." What do you know, the old lady doesn't understand. But what you say, I believe. After all, those things do work, and no one else has ever known about them except you. ”

When she said this, she sighed, "Actually, whether we admit it or not, we all know that we are not as powerful as Luo Shan." The terrain of South Australia is not as dangerous as Luoshan, and we are not as many people as Luoshan. If you had been a staff member for Yin Zhengmao that day, we would have died worse than Luo Shanman, and we wouldn't even have this bit of men left. In the past, those of us didn't think much of the government, but when we saw Luo Shanman's appearance, Yu Zhao'an, everyone didn't say anything, but they were already convinced. ”

Fan Jin smiled, "It should have been served, no matter how good your new ship is, it is also a small boat, and it is destined to suffer a loss when competing with such a big ship as Daming." It's better for everyone to admit defeat early. ”

"This is not a problem of new ships and old ships, but of people, and the government is powerful because of your advice. We are capable people, and we will serve whoever has the ability. This time to destroy Luoshan, the officers and soldiers charged into battle, and the generals tore and killed, we didn't pay much attention to it, only you, a scholar, we admired. ”

When Lin Haishan said this, she smiled again, "Not long ago, my people did a business in Fujian and burned down three bookstores. ”

"Why do I think you guys are getting worse and worse, are you robbing ships as robbers, why are you still robbing the bookstore, how much money do you have to sell books? He also set fire to the city, and he didn't want to die. ”

"It's nothing, I ran away after burning, and the government was a provocation, and I didn't make a big effort to investigate. Those three bookstores all carved your books to sell them privately, and I was so angry that I started it, but I don't understand, why didn't you sue them if they stole your books? For example, the chefs of the eighteenth shop who stole your fan fish, and my people beat him in a sack, isn't this very good? ”

"It's useless to sue, it's not good to cause a conflict between the two provinces. I don't want to get rich when I print books, but if I publish more books, I will be famous, and even if I achieve my goal. Next time, you don't have to burn it, you can't burn it. ”

Lin Haishan looked at Fan Jin and said: "You are quite weird, others want to make a fortune and make meritorious contributions, but you are pushing some things out." Like this time, wouldn't it be great if you stayed by Ling Yunyi's side for a few more years? Why do you have to rush this course? ”

"You don't understand, now I'm going to be good on both sides. I won the Jinshi, and I can't do without Lingyunyi's cultivation, and I will definitely repay him in the future, and the loss is not big for him. Even those staff members under Ling Zhijun can't wait for me to hurry up and take the test for fame, and the farther away the better. If I stay any longer, I will be able to make some achievements and accumulate a lot of experience, but if anyone guarantees me an official position, the road to fame will be broken. This kind of security officer is actually a miscellaneous officer, and when Ling Yunyi is old, I should step aside, which is tantamount to self-destruction of my future. It's better to take advantage of the opportunity now, and he can also take the exam when he can help me in his seat, which is good for everyone. ”

Lin Haishan said: "You scholars are really troublesome, I don't understand. But I've heard that the imperial examination is very fair, and even if he is the governor, what can he do to help you? ”

"Huabiao is a stone. The above asked me to nominate Le Shi for meritorious service, which is not only his glory, but also my reputation. Everyone knows that it is written by me, so it is natural to understand the relationship between the two of us. They may not know about my contribution to Luoshanli, but they know my relationship with the governor, and the governor is now popular, which is also an off-the-field factor that they have to consider, that is, potential. If anyone wants to not hire me, they have to think about whether they can resist such a big trend. ”

Fan Jin said excitedly, and said: "The imperial court sent two Hanlin down to do the main examination, Pang and Wu are both later than Ling Yunyi, it is said that the younger generation, when they arrive in Guangdong, they should come to worship the dock first." They didn't come to visit their seniors, and went to the Gongyuan to lock the house by themselves, which was indeed fair, but Ling Yunyi was not happy. Since he is fair, then he has to show the Jingguan a fair way, you see, anyone who wants to cheat in this department will waste all his energy. And although I will not carry it, but I will come with the general situation, just like the two armies are fighting, and they are attacking the city with a large army, who can catch it? ”

Lin Haishan thought for a while, "So, most of you can win this lift?" If we are successful, we will be admitted to the Jinshi, so there is hope for what we are asking for? ”

"Of course, I became a jinshi, do you have hope for what you want, so I have nothing to worship God more, I hope I will go to high school as soon as possible, so it will be good for everyone."

Lin Haishan nodded, she was alone in a daze, while Fan Jin ate lychees and ignored her. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and coughed dryly, her voice unconsciously changing tone.

"Brother Dafeng...... He said to me last time that he hoped that I would really marry someone and have a baby. Say that you are a woman, so that it is like words. Besides, there are many people below, and they may not really be willing to obey a woman on their heads. But if I had a boy, it would be different. I can say that this child is the widow of my eldest brother and sister-in-law......"

Fan Jin interrupted her and said, "Your sister-in-law died on the island, and she lit gunpowder, boom!" There are no bones, where is the posthumous son? If there is faith in such words, then the intelligence of his subordinates is very suspicious. ”

"Then it's said that it's other women, my eldest brother is not dead, and it is not okay to find a woman to have a son in Guangzhou!" Lin Haishan said angrily: "Don't interrupt, in short, I need a son!" ”

"Oh...... There are a lot of children sold in the city of Guangzhou, and I will help you find one. ”

Lin Haishan shook her head and said, "But I want my own!" It's not enough to buy it from the outside, and if it leaks in the future, what should I do? ”

"You want to give birth to a ...... yourself" Fan Jin looked at her a few times, "Two women give birth to sons, this matter is too difficult, I can't help you, just find a fairy." ”

Lin Haishan's face turned slightly red, and she took a sip and said: "Who said that two women have sons, don't forget, you are my father-in-law, and everyone has been married in South Australia." Of course, I have you to help me with this kind of thing. The last time Liang came to Luoshan was a month ago, that is, you haven't touched a woman in this month, right? Her big eyes were fixed on Fan Jin, as if a female leopard was looking at her prey that was about to ambush.

"Our boat can go a little slower, these days...... Let me get pregnant. I know that you have always controlled yourself and prevented the Liang and Hu families from getting pregnant, for fear that if you don't have a son-in-law, you will have trouble with the eldest son first. But I don't care, you marry me, not me marry you, the son born needs to be surnamed Lin, and the eldest son doesn't matter, right? ”

Fan Jin was stunned, "You say...... Do you want me to give birth to a son for you? Don't be kidding, although everyone is brothers, this kind of joke is not good to make a lot. You have so many men......"

Lin Haishan slapped the table and said, "Who is joking with you!" There are so many people under me, except for the scum, it is a rice bucket, and my mother doesn't like to have children with them! Although you are not a scholar, you are so-so. At least you know a lot of things we don't understand, and you drew us a big cake, whether you can eat it in the future is hard to say, but at least it looks like this cake tastes very good. Besides, I also need a son, so it's good to be cheap, that one is so-so, and the two of us will do it today...... Besides, didn't you just touch it very enjoyable? ”

"That's two different things, I teach you things, and then you pay the bills, and everyone is a fair deal. But the price of giving birth to a son is a bit big. You have to think about the woman you like first, I'm a man. If what you ask for is too much, I can't pay it, and then you have to kidnap someone in your stomach, in case you can't give you what you want......"

Before the words fell, Lin Haishan slammed the table, "Regret it!" I want a child now, and you have to give me a child. You didn't just turn you into a woman if you didn't agree! Hurry up and eat, I also have three whips of wine here, oysters, and a fawn on the boat to collect deer blood, in short, enough to replenish. Before I arrived in Guangzhou, I had to have a child. ”

Outside the cabin, several women eavesdropped on the foot of the wall, and couldn't help but laugh back and forth, and someone whispered: "These two couples are really weird." ”

"A woman like Lin Fang, if she really loves a concubine, it's strange, right? I think that's very loving. ”

"No, I think our Lin Fang ...... Shy. Hurry up and get ready, bring the wine, I heard that a sheep will become a tiger after drinking a glass, let the two of them drink a pot today, and we will have a little fang on the ship next year. ”

Guangzhou City, a taste of incense.

The soldier who reported the news sent the good news that Fan Jin was about to come back, and Sister Hu, who had not seen Fan Jin for half a year, happily changed into new clothes, and her head was full of all the jewelry that Fan Jin gave her. As a result, she was deprived of the right to serve food to her guests, for fear that if she was not careful, she would drop a piece of jewelry into the dish.

Although Liang Pandi counted her on his lips, he miscalculated the accounts several times in a row, and forgot to collect money for the first time, which is enough to prove that her heart is actually not calm. Sister Hu was lying on the counter, like a listless cat, raising her eyes to look at the door from time to time, but the person she wanted to see did not appear, so she said to Liang Pandi: "The young ladies of those families heard that Brother Jin is coming back, and they are coming to listen to the tune, but what should I do?" ”

"Tell them that there are no seats left, that all seats are occupied by the candidates, and tell them to wait until the test is over. Shameless things, Jinzi has said that they will not marry them to become big, they still come, it is clear that they want to make cooked rice raw, and they are not allowed to get close to Jinzi. ”

"Well, I will, I won't let them get close to my brother!" Sister Hu nodded confidently and said, "But...... I mean, but, what if Brother Jin is with other girls in Luoshan? ”

Liang Pandi remembered that every time he went to visit, Fan Jin had to ask for the whole night and almost didn't even let him sleep, and Rao was so happy that he couldn't enjoy it. Knowing that he was young and strong, and he was also eager to ask, and the two of them were not around, it was really difficult for him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Man...... When he goes out, socializing is inevitable, of course, he chooses to forgive him. ”
