Chapter 155: Means (II)

The autumn rain is getting heavier and heavier, and even in the cabin, you can hear the sound of the rain hitting the cabin board, like a war drum, urging Fan Jin. In the room www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, the eyes of several men were like sharp blades, almost about to split Fan Jin's corpse.

Liu Zhang's two families are world friends, Liu Kanzhi and the girl are two little guesses, the two met when they were very young, and when they were older, they read and learned words together, and then they quarreled.

The habit of the two of them liking to quarrel was developed at a very young age, and even if the parents saw it, most of them laughed and didn't take it seriously, and even wanted to give the two of them a baby kiss because of this. It's just that later, the men of the two families had political differences, and the proposal of the baby relatives was dismissed, and no one mentioned it again, but the friendship between the younger generation was the same.

As they grow older, there are not many opportunities for Liu Zhang and the two to meet, and both of them may miss each other in their hearts, as long as they find an opportunity, they will definitely meet, but every time they meet, they will end in a quarrel. Even the girl's brother will support Liu Kanzhi in a quarrel, which is not only to maintain the dignity and decency of men, but also for the sake of the future. They still hope that the two will become husband and wife, and in the future, it will be better for the husband to overpower the wife than the wife to overpower the husband.

In the younger generation of the two families, in fact, a delicate balance is maintained, the girl will quarrel with Liu Kanzhi, and the brothers of the Zhang family will help Liu Kanzhi stand on the platform. This is not only an emotional accumulation, but also can be seen as the support of the second generation of the Zhang family for Liu Kanzhi, so that he can rest assured that he can marry his sister without worrying about the pressure of his mother's family.

Fan Jin stood up and gave the girl a platform, which was equivalent to an external force breaking in, breaking this rule, and Zhang Sixiu was not very happy at first. Her sister's appearance and family background make her never lack suitors, and there are never a few diligent talents, whether it is identity or talent, it is not comparable to Guangdong Yakui.

Because Fan Jin saved his sister, and he did have a long talent, Zhang Sixiu didn't want to scratch his face, he just wanted to knock on the side and remind the other party, and he shouldn't think about it. But before he could open his mouth, the girl who urgently needed reinforcements had already preemptively asked, "Brother Fan, what do you think?" ”

"I can't talk about it, but I have some humble opinions. The situation in Xiangxi is very complicated, and they are both Tusi and bandits, and I don't know how strong their strength is, but it will not be an overnight task to solve them, and I agree with this point of view. But we don't have to choose these people for our goal, we are in Changsha now, as long as we solve this problem. Like a long snake, just hit it seven inches and make it incapacitated. Changsha is located in the north and south channels, is the center of material exchange, as long as the power of the thieves here is defeated, so that they can not get material support from here, it is naturally difficult to do anything. In Changsha, it is obvious that the power of the government is greater than theirs, and the matter of the bookstore is an accident, for both of us, and the thieves are not ready to do it now, or are not ready to do it here, so the situation is also a miscalculation for them. Compared to us, they are the ones who should really panic. ”

The girl nodded, "What Brother Fan said is also what I meant." In my opinion, the thieves may not really want to rebel in Changsha, at most they are the idea of fighting the treasures of the palace, and then there is the idea of using Changsha's convenient water and land advantages to transport materials. Xiangxi is a wild land, and these demon books are bound to be printed in Xiangxi. Most of them used Chongren Bookstore to print books, and then took the books to Xiangxi to bewitch the public. ”

Fan Jin said: "Although I haven't been to Xiangxi, but I want to come there as a wild place, there are definitely not many people who know words, and most of the books are for Tusi Haoqiang to see, and the targets of suspicion are those few, which are easy to lock." And those people are no better than the poor people, they have land, land, money and people, although they do not obey the kingship of the court, but they may not be so easy to rebel. That's why the thieves want to print the book of war to teach them the art of war to enhance contact, and then use these demon books to incite the lower classes, this kind of thing is not an overnight effort, and it must be done now, otherwise the demon book does not have to be printed. As long as we can defeat the demons' power in Changsha before they build up momentum, these toasts may not really take risks and do desperate deeds. ”

Liu Kanzhi shook the folding fan and frowned slightly, coughing a few times from time to time. Zhang asked, "Brother Liu, is your cough serious again?" Would you like to take some loquat dew? ”

"You don't have to...... The old problem, every time this time is like this, you know, it's okay. What Brother Fan said is a high opinion, but the problem is still manpower. We don't have enough manpower. ”

Fan Jin saw that the girl cared about Liu Kanzhi's body, and knew that there was still a long way to go to dig down the wall, but fortunately, he still had time. He said to Liu Kanzhi: "The best way to deal with organized crime is to employ people in other places." This method will be very troublesome for the local government to go on business, but with several sons of the Zhang family and Brother Liu here, I think it should not be difficult for people to do it. ”

"Employing people in different places?" The girl surnamed Zhang looked at Fan Jin, "This statement is fresh, what else is organized crime?" Is this the word in the public gate? ”

"Ah...... It is our local dialect in Guangdong, and the official who specializes in catching gangs in the yamen is called Ou Ji...... There are other Flying Tigers and the like, but there are probably none here. ”

Liu Kanzhi coughed a few more times before continuing: "Ou Ji...... The Flying Tigers, I haven't heard of any of this, and I'm going to ask for advice another day. As for the use of fishing in other places, the younger brother thinks it is inappropriate. If you catch quickly, you have to find locals, because they are familiar with the terrain and the people's feelings are unimpeded. If you come here in two lives, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move an inch. ”

Although the two disagreed, the direction of thinking had changed from leaving Changsha to how to solve the problem of Changsha, Zhang Sixiu coughed, "Brother Liu, didn't you say?" ”

"No, I think what Xiaomei said makes sense, the thieves are also in chaos now, if you can take this opportunity to get rid of these thieves, it can be regarded as a great contribution to the country. What's more, the method that Fang Cai Shimei and Brother Fan came up with, I thought about it, but it was not impossible, but it was more laborious. Since Brother Fan said that this method is only used to deal with the thieves in the city, and will not be extended to Xiangxi, it will not matter. ”

The girl surnamed Zhang smiled, "Finally, when you think I am reasonable, you can't cough like this, I still have two bottles of cough elixir in my room, Brother Liu and use it, I want to find a good man in Beijing to take a look." ”

The two unconsciously showed their affection, which made Zhang Sixiu's heart widen, thinking that when he saw this scene, Fan Jin should naturally retreat? As soon as this heart goes, I can't help but think of my own gains and losses.

After all, his family is also from Huguang, and if there is a large-scale chaos in the real place, even if his family has the protection of the officials and the army, he will not suffer a loss, but the industrial fields will inevitably be damaged, which is a bit unworthy. He nodded, "If you don't waste too much time, you can do something." ”

"Anyway, I have to listen to Mr. Fushan's lecture before I can leave, these days, I can really do some things, even if I can't do it, I can put the road right, and the rest is the ability of the people below them to do things."

The rain probably stopped around the time of Shen, and by the time the lantern was held, the moon had risen and the dark clouds had dispersed. The moonlight shone on the river, and the boats on the pier were bathed in a soft halo. The river gently rocks the boat, like a mother pushing the cradle for her son, and the autumn breeze is refreshing and refreshing.

The fragrance of flowers and the sound of beautiful music wafted in the wind, and in the adjacent boat, three women, big and small, quietly opened the porthole and listened carefully to the music floating from the official ship next door. Although he knew that it was an official ship, and the people on it were all the children of eunuchs, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, but when he thought of Liu Kanzhi's appearance, none of these three people could forget it.

The three women, two big and the youngest, were also proficient in music, and after listening to them for a while, they fell into a trance, but after a long time, tears flowed out, and the little maid wiped away the tears of the maiden in a panic, but the woman shook her head and said, "No need...... Such a good song must have come from the hand of that handsome son, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to see it......"

On the deck, the man put down the paper flute in his hand, turned around and smiled, and said, "Offering ugliness." ”

The three men and one woman who were admiring the moon on the same deck couldn't help but cheer. The woman said: "Brother Fan, I only knew that you could write a script and make an article, but I didn't want to have such attainments in music and rhythm, and my little sister admires it." Brother Liu is known as the three uniques of qin, flute and chess, and I think that after today, I have to call the two uniques. ”

"Don't dare to be it, just understand a little, Miss Zhang has won the award. If you talk about music and rhythm, Brother Liu is still a step ahead. ”

Liu Kanzhi shook his head and said: "Brother Fan, you are not, the rhythm is like an article, one is one, two is two, if you don't reach it, you can't do it, and Liu is not a person who can't afford to lose." This paper flute is a specialty of Fujian, which is rare in Huguang, and it is difficult for me to even play, let alone the word skill. Another day, I will give Brother Fan a, and you and I can play a song together. ”

Two names instantly appeared in Fan Jin's mind, Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, but considering that neither of the two coveted each other's confidantes, it was better not to do this, so they just smiled and didn't talk about it.

After all, these people were scholars rather than officials, and most of them did not have the patience to talk all night and jointly study countermeasures against the enemy. As soon as the rain stopped, Zhang Sixiu ordered to set up a banquet, because of the major events involved, and the rescue of the girl and the capture of Zhu San depended on Fan Jin's efforts, so he was also invited to eat together, and after eating, he went out to see the night scene together. The other lifters were not invited to come with them, and those people would never come to kill the scenery.

After a few people had eaten, they went to the deck to enjoy the scenery, and when they came to the mood, they had to play musical instruments. This kind of quality education field, generally speaking, is the home of the children of official eunuchs or rich sons. After all, whether you buy a musical instrument or learn a musical instrument, you need to have financial support behind it. Not to mention that people's energy is limited, and it is already difficult for poor children to learn the scriptures and meanings, so how can they have the time, energy, and money to learn music and rhythm?

Zhang Sixiu knew through the conversation that Fan Jinwei's family was poor when he was relieved, and he expected that he would be a layman in terms of music, but he had the intention to make him ugly, so that when he got along in the future, Liu Kanzhi would have little mustard in his heart.

But I didn't expect Fan Jin to rely on the blessing of the system, and his own business is Peking Opera, and his experience can be called a grandmaster level when converted into music, especially if it can be freely exchanged, any musical instrument is a grandmaster in his hands, which is not comparable to these people. The paper flute is a Fujian specialty, and they are not very good at it, but Fan Jin pressed the four seats and took the lead in shooting, but the others were not easy to accept.

Zhang Sixiu was worried that Liu Kanzhi's face would not hang, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Liu and Brother Fan are all talented people, each with their own strengths, little sister, how did your girl prepare the dim sum?" ”

"I've been prepared for a long time, this snack must be good, it is a lotus paste cake specially learned from Guangdong. It is said that this stuffing was originally purchased from our Huguang lotus seeds and shipped to Guangdong to be made. My girl has suffered a lot in order to learn this lotus paste cake craft, but she has finally passed it, everyone has a try. ”

A delicate and lovely girl, with a clear flower porcelain plate brought a few pieces of lotus paste cakes, everyone took a piece to eat, Fan Jin took a bite, carefully smacked the taste, and secretly admired in his heart, the chef of this mansion is not simple, although it is learning, the craftsmanship is not lost to his authentic brand.

Liu Kanzhi asked, "Brother Fan, is this lotus paste still authentic?" Among the few of us, only you are from Guangdong, and you should be treated as justice. ”

"Well, it's really authentic, even if the younger brother does it himself, that's just it."

Zhang Sixiu smiled, "Brother Fan can cook by himself?" ”

"To tell you the truth, I made this lotus paste cake. Originally, someone wanted to call it Fan Cake, but I thought it was too ugly, so I let it be called Lotus Paste Cake. In addition to this, I also studied the food snacks such as Fan Fish, Shark Fin and Double Skin Milk. I also opened a restaurant in Guangzhou......"

Zhang Sixiu was choked by a mouthful of lotus seed and coughed, Liu Kanzhi looked at Fan Jin for a long time before asking: "Brother Fan, people's energy is limited, you are not afraid of delaying your studies by doing these things?" ”

"Fear is naturally afraid, but my generation's study is the means, and contributing to the country is the goal, as long as it does not delay serving the court, it is not a mistake. In fact, there are also benefits to doing business, the brain will become broader, and when solving problems, the thinking will become broader. Just like we have right now. ”

He gestured around, not far from their ship, the moored ships. There were also people on those boats who were holding parties, and the sound of singing and silk and bamboo drifted in the wind to their side.

"Brother Liu, look, if you tell them that there are thieves in Changsha now, how will they be? Run as fast as you can, and then it's going to be a depression here. If there are fewer businessmen, prices will become higher, and the common people will be under great pressure and will become unhappy. The more and more grievances accumulate, and the thieves provoke again, Changsha, which could not have been able to do things, will also be successful. If you look at it from the perspective of a businessman, tell them that the world is peaceful, attract people to Changsha, the market is prosperous and all industries are prosperous, and the people have food to eat and make money. ”

Liu Kanzhi looked at Fan Jin, "This is the reason why Brother Fan fabricated rumors?" You spread the news that the Jianchang Palace's palace was robbed and the gold and silver were hidden somewhere in Changsha, what kind of people are those officials and officials and the city fox and society rats on the rivers and lakes? I'm afraid that if you don't dig three feet into the ground, you have to find these accumulations. The people of Changsha are in trouble now. ”

"No, the two sons of the Zhang family and the son-in-law and the son-in-law and the son of Liu are here, and there are more than a dozen masters on our ship, who dares to go too far, and slap him to death. There is a constraint that those officials will do things in a measured way. If you can't do it, borrow a few heads to use it, not to mention that there is an overseer, and things will not get out of control. Their value is to startle those people and make those people panic, so that our next plan can be implemented. ”

"Brother Fan's method is really like a businessman, but not like a gentleman."

"Perhaps, when I do military affairs on the side of Luoshan, in fact, I am also like a businessman. To procure military food for the three armed forces, or to raise military salaries. There are also Qiongyan and Guangdong Railway. These are all things that businessmen do, mainly because my dynasty is now prosperous and has so many talents, not inferior to me, but the businessmen are limited, and there are fewer people who help the court, and things are scarce and expensive. ”

"You're still a businessman!"

The girl couldn't help but smile as she watched the two of them arguing, but she didn't know which one of them she was laughing at. Nodding his hand to call his maid, it didn't take long, and the maid struggled to hold the guqin out. The girl saluted Fan, "Brother Fan, Brother Liu is a famous piano and flute in our lake, I don't know how your piano skills are, Brother Fan?" The moonlight is just right tonight, can you play a song to feast your little sister's ears? ”

Fan Jin looked at Liu Kanzhi, then at the girl, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I played the piano when I was in Luoshan, and after I played, the people of Luoshan were killed." To be honest, the bullet is so ugly that they can't sleep at night, so they might as well fight with the officers and soldiers. There are so many boats around us, disturbing people's dreams, and they will throw stones at us, not good. Besides, there are more than a dozen benevolent brothers on the boat, rushing up together, I can't resist it. It's not early, the students still say goodbye first, and estimate the time, and the people we are waiting for should also arrive. If they hear my piano, it will be a shame to go home. ”

As he spoke, Fan Jinlian waved his hand and walked towards the cabin, Zhang Sixiu nodded secretly, it seemed that he knew how to advance and retreat. Liu Kanzhi looked at the guqin, looked at the girl, nodded at the maid and said, "Chunxiang, you put down the piano, and then go and light a furnace of incense, and I will play a song." ”
