"Your Highness, Yan Xishen is waiting at the dock......"

When Chen Ming's team on the north arrived at Qujiang, the starting point of water transportation in Beijiang, a tributary of the Pearl River, Chen Ming, who had not yet disembarked from the boat, first received Yan Xishen's request to see him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Sure enough, he is a person who understands the rules......"

"Pass him on board."

Chen Ming did not delay, and immediately let people come to Yan Xishen. This is the future governor of Guangdong!

As a local person in Guangdong, a big man in Lingnan Shilin, Yan Xishen can at least play a role in calming people's hearts. Although the position where he can really make a big splash is definitely not in Guangdong. After all, the policy of recusal in the officialdom has been around for a long time, and the existence of these officials who have been pulled up by the province and do not evade themselves and directly serve as provincial governor-level dignitaries in the province is all 'transitional'!

cut off his braids, wore a plain Hanfu, to show that he still had filial piety, wearing a square scarf, Yan Xishen, who was two out of forty, had a beautiful face, a clear temperament, a down-to-earth demeanor, and a rare calmness in his gestures.

This was the first time he had met Chen Ming. With his identity and past, he was able to be so calm when he met Chen Ming, and he immediately won a good impression on Chen Ming.

It's good to be calm, but if you can't calm down and calm down, then you can't stand loneliness and resist temptation.

Yan Xishen, who was only forty-two years old and dissatisfied, was just thirty-eight years old when Ding's mother was worried, and he was only thirty-four years old when he was promoted to Fujian political envoy******.

"Jingshan Gong, please get up."

Yan Xishen gave a big salute as soon as he saw Chen Ming. Chen Ming stretched out his hand to make a false support, and said in his mouth, 'Please get up', Yan Xishen continued to pay homage to him in a proper manner. This is also considered a complete gift of the monarch and the minister.

"As a Cantonese person, Jingshan Gong understands the people of Guangdong. How to govern this fishy and anointed land, the Governor is eager to hear his opinion. Without delaying a little extra time, Chen Ming went straight to the point and expressed his heart. And this time, Yan Xishen came to Qujiang to wait, and it was obvious that he also had a stomach of 'scripture' to talk to Chen Ming.

As far as Yan Xishen is concerned, whether he sat on the throne of governor by virtue of his 'true ability' or only by virtue of his influence in Guangdong, and this influence was mostly due to his high official position in the Manchu Dynasty in the past, those are completely different things.

"Your Highness, the first thing in Guangdong is the Guangdong Customs."

"Guangdong Customs is the first to pay attention to Guangzhou, and Guangzhou is safe and Guangdong is safe."

Yan Xi knew that he would not be able to do it for long in the position of governor of Guangdong, but he still wanted to be a good 'transitional official'. This is not only for their own future prospects, but also for the benefit of the township.

For the literati officials in ancient times, 'benefiting the country' was a very high and beautiful pursuit. That not only can make your reputation spread in your hometown for a long time, but also let your descendants be left behind for a longer time.

Chen Ming and Yan Xishen talked about the afternoon. Yan Xishen has filial piety and did not participate in the welcome dinner organized by the Shaozhou prefect, but the next day Chen Ming recruited Yan Xishen again, which made Yan Xishen win the attention of countless people.

It is conceivable that Duke Lu values Yan Xishen, otherwise how could he have summoned the right person for two consecutive days? In fact, the second conversation between Chen Ming and Yan Xishen has nothing to do with the overall situation at all, this conversation Chen Ming just asked Yan Xishen to 'recall' the friendship of his old colleagues - he himself jumped on the new boat, and he couldn't watch his old colleagues fall into the water and be indifferent? Shouldn't we do more work with our former colleagues?

These words are actually an order. Recruiting Yan Xishen to play a duet, Yan Xishen knew that Chen Ming was deliberately making a face for him.

Chen Ming stayed in Qujiang for two days before the honor guard and the team continued to advance towards Hunan. Such a pause will be common on this road in the future. Chen Ming took the land route back to Lushan, in order to have a detailed understanding of the work of Huguang in the past year?

Walking from the warm spring-like Lingnan to Hunan, as soon as you cross the Lingnan, the temperature drops sharply.

At the same time, Lushan County, dripping into ice, the wind and snow are cold in the northwest of Lushan County, and Tumenji is more to the west of the mountains. The Funiu Mountain camp built by the Chen family back then, as the mountain camp operated by the family's last retreat, has now greatly changed its appearance.

The hard-earned farmland around Qingfeng, Hutou, Niutou, and Tiezhai has all been destroyed, and in its place are rows of labor dormitories and rough refining workshops, where blast furnaces have sprung up.

The number of people in the four camps has far exceeded the design of the year, and now there are seven or eight thousand men and women in the four camps, the Niutou Village with the least manpower. Because of the conversion of acres of land for other purposes, in this most fundamental metal smelting base of the Fu Han Army, the food and clothing needs of 40,000 or 50,000 male and female laborers all depended on the outside world.

Obviously, this is the Chen family's restraint on the increasingly large four villages in the mountains. However, it is undeniable that Chen Han, who controls grain, cloth, cotton, needlework, salt and medicine, has not weakened at all because of the increase in the number of young and strong laborers in Sizhai.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

In the cold wind, the bronze bell on the bell tower was struck hard. Three melodious bells spread far away from the bell tower, from the camp to different mining areas in various places, from the big bell to the small bell, from the small bell to the gongs and whistles everywhere.

"It's time, it's time to get off work, it's time to get off work......"

The shouts of different meanings sounded in the ears of people of different identities on different occasions such as iron mines, coal shafts, transportation lines, smelting workshops, etc.

"Eat, rest, rest......"

The laborers, who had been tired for five hours, breathed a long sigh of relief, but they got up at half past six in the morning, ate, went to work at half past seven, and then worked for five hours!

The morning passed again. Then they will have an hour and a half break. In addition to eating, everyone can sleep under the covers. As the first place to implement the 24-hour time system, the laborers in Funiu Mountain have long memorized the hours and minutes in their minds.

Every day they got up at half-past six, and the room opened at six-forty. Mixed flour steamed buns, multigrain cakes, wotou, coarse grains such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, salty soup, porridge, large dregs porridge, and pickles. This is the basic configuration for workers on the construction site. Those who perform well will also be rewarded, such as eggs, duck eggs, or stir-fried dishes and stews that are only available to overseers and team officers.

Chen Han did not treat them badly in terms of food. These were all heavy manual laborers, and in terms of food and clothing, the laborers here were better off than most of the peasants under Manchu rule. The danger to life and death he faced was more due to the emergency situation on the construction site.

Because as long as they can eat, the Fu Han army will not be short of their food. In addition to miscellaneous grains, coarse grains, and fine grains, there must be a meat meal within five days. And the common people under the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or Chen Han also counted, the hundreds of millions of peasants in China, the number of families who did not know the taste of meat for three or five months is too many to count.

Don't be reluctant to cut a piece of meat during the New Year's holidays!

Reality and time are the two magic weapons that are most likely to wear off people's sharpness and mental strength. These laborers who were escorted back from Jiangnan and Huguang, after seeing that the Fu Han army did not use them as they imagined, but were fed and clothed, and asked for a long time to 'serve'.

They have long since given up the idea of running away, making trouble, and making trouble. For years or even longer, the Fu Han army gave not only the same treatment as a long-term worker, but also strict discipline - the latter was warned by bloody human lives.

Their only thought now is to get through the long sentence and then, then, go home and become Chen Han's obedient people. If their home was still there at that time.

Chen Han also promised that as long as they worked honestly for two years, they would send people to contact their families according to their places of origin and home addresses, and as long as they were in contact, the two sides could communicate with each other in the days to come, and even their families could come and visit them.

This is the carrot that fell in front of the donkey's mouth, and with 'hope', let these prisoners of war turn into coolies, honestly and conscientiously mine the iron ore and coal needed for the Han army.

The aroma of meat came to Zuo Fengsheng's nose, Zuo Fengsheng didn't know if his nose had an illusion, he not only smelled the meat, but also felt that today's meat fragrance was particularly strong. This is not a day to open meat every Friday. And not only the smell of pork, but also the smell of chicken soup, fresh fish, and beef.

Saliva reflexively overflowed into his mouth, and Zuo Fengsheng swallowed it fiercely. The hand holding the rice jar couldn't help but grasp it more firmly, not to mention that he didn't care about decency, and in this Funiu Mountain, his decency was not as precious as meat.

Zuo Fengsheng, a native of Jiangyin, Hunan, organized a group training at the beginning, and followed Gong Zhaolin, the minister of Hunan group training, to aid Hubei, but he and Zeng Yansheng, a fellow villager in Changsha Prefecture, as well as Tao Xiaoxin, Hu Duoji and many others in Waifu were captured by the Fu Han Army in Wuchang City. At that time, the Fu Han army still recruited 'virtuous people', Zuo Fengsheng, Zeng Yansheng, Tao Xiaoxin and Hu Duoji and others had meritorious reputations, and they were all won over by the Fu Han army. But at that time, Zeng Zuo, Taohu and others were very backbone, and they were strict with their words, and then they were all thrown to Funiu Mountain.

After time and suffering have smoothed their 'integrity', there is no way to surrender again. The Fu Han army breathed a sigh of relief, where would it be rare to show some talents?

Among the group of talented people captured in Hunan, Zeng Zuo Taohu had the best friendship. And the four of them don't have a good family background. Although the four of them are all talented, and the ancestors of the Tao family and the Zuo family are even wider, but to this day, things are not people.

When the four of them were thrown into Funiu Mountain, they were all worried about their own home, if the family misreported the news that they died in battle, how could the family survive? But now, more than a year has passed, and the four weak scholars have become sturdy and sturdy laborers, and their industrious bodies have become covered in pimples, and their daily tiring work has left them with no extra time to think about what happened to their families. When I went out to rest, when I was out on vacation......

They are all looking forward to the arrival of two years, so that they can get in touch with their families early.

If they can get out of this Funiu Mountain, the four of them dare to swear to the sky, they will never be right against the Fu Han Army and Chen Han again.

A handful of bitter tears, speaking of which can soak their whole body.

Zuo Fengsheng was followed by Hu Duoji, and although the four of them entered one team, they were divided into three rows. The squad and platoon leader in the mine does not need brains, but only strength, and management is the captain's business. So the four of them are all literate and hyphenation readers, and none of them have mixed positions.

"Braised pork ......"

“…… That's chicken soup......

"And fried fish."

"Oil cakes, and oil cakes!"

"Big buns, minced ......"

"What's going on today? The food is in time for the Chinese New Year......"

When the noon cooker was pulled out of the big kitchen, the laborers in the front row immediately exclaimed. Zuo Fengsheng's eyes bulged out when he heard this, and he stretched his neck to look forward, but he was low.

"Bell, bell, ......" The gong sounded, and all the sounds disappeared in an instant, and the people who stretched out their necks to see also stood obediently.

"Listen up, today is the third birthday of the little grandfather." The battalion commander of the Zuo Feng Holy Camp cleared his throat, and after scanning the more than four hundred and thirty laborers under him with a contemptuous gaze, he raised his hands and clenched his fists and arched in the direction of Lu Shan.

"The king of Han was overjoyed and ordered that the prison sentences of prisoners of war in the mines be commuted for one year." The sentences of prisoners of war for building bridges and roads were reduced by six months. It's a small amnesty. The eyes of all the coolies present bulged out, and if it weren't for the serious discipline in the venue, I don't know how many people would shout in surprise.

Chen Hui's precious grandson is three years old. In the way of this era, it is four years old.

Chen Hui, Gao, and the old lady Huang, and even the entire Lushan County, everyone felt very happy. Of course, a four-year-old child can't be considered insurance, but he has finally escaped the stall of 'floating' away when the wind blows, right?

Chen Ming has only this one son so far.

I went out to fight at the beginning of this year, and I went for more than half a year, and I was stunned that there was no woman around me. Naturally, there would be no children.

There is a reason why Chen Hui attaches so much importance to her grandson's third birthday.

The battalion commander's words made the spiritual power of the more than 400 prisoners of war below move away at once, and Zuo Fengsheng looked at their battalion commander without blinking. Han Wang commuted his sentence by one year, so will they be able to contact their families?

"You'll be able to contact home too." All the prisoners of war had their names and addresses written down before they entered the labor camps, and as to whether some of them had deliberately made mistakes, he was now at his own peril.

"If it is from Hubei and Hunan, the address is detailed and true, as short as ten days and a half months, or as much as a month, and the news should be received before the New Year's Festival." The battalion commander did not mention that the address was shabby and untrue. If you do what you do, you have to bear the consequences yourself.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Duchess of the Kingdom." The last title in Chen Han specifically refers to Li Xiaomei. When the battalion commander said the last four words, his voice suddenly rose. "Give a reward, and the labor camp will be rewarded for three days." The officials of their labor camp also had a set of winter clothes, a pair of cotton gloves, a pair of cotton shoes, and a cotton hat.

"Bunnies, from now on, your good days have come."

The battalion commander blinked. The three-day reward has never been so generous in the labor camp during the festival in previous years.

The first reaction in the battalion commander's mind was not to cry out for the past, but to really feel that Chen Han was stronger.

"Long live the King of Han, the little grandfather will live a long life......"

"The Queen Mother and Queen Mother are Chitose, and the Duchess is Chitose......"

The battalion commander was gone, leaving only more than 400 prisoners of war who were too excited to hold themselves and howl wildly.

Zuo Fengsheng ate the fatty braised pork as if he was chewing wax, and the whole person was absent-minded.

Opposite him is Hu Duoji, who is in his thirties and eats a meat bun with oil on his clothes? He was thirty-six years old, not three years and six months!

I was really stupid at the 'good news' in the mouth of the battalion commander, my heart was pounding, and everyone couldn't help but think of their families and loved ones, and no matter how good things we ate, they were no different from wood in their mouths.

A family sorrow worries all people.

"The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, a few happy and a few sad. How many couples are in the same tent, and how many are floating outside? ……”

Zeng Yansheng's tears not far away unconsciously flowed down from his eyes, flowing through his cheeks, flowing through the corners of his mouth, and flowing through his chin.

……

Lushan, Lu Gongfu.

The bustle above continued, and three days before Chen Ding's birthday, the entire Lu Gongfu began to be decorated. Snow sculptures were also piled up in the yard, as well as ice lanterns. In the winter, the not very big Lu Mansion can't be full of flowers, so you can only think of recruiting it in winter.

Because the man was not at home, the carriages and horses in front of the house from all over the country were just gifts, and the people retreated. The only people who can really go to the backyard to go to the room are the families of the three surnames and the families of the dignitaries. And the people in the Lu Mansion who can go up to the courtyard to accompany the relatives and relatives are only one Liu Bangyun who is qualified.

The rest of the Zhang, Lin, Zheng, Shi, Yao, etc., those people could only stay in their rooms honestly, and they couldn't go out of the courtyard door. Otherwise, what if you collide with someone?

Chen Ming has not yet sat in the position of the number one in the end, of course his wife is extremely noble, it is a good concubine like Liu Bangyun, who appeared on an occasion like today, and it is also because she has the support of Liu Dezhao, who is about to become the governor of Hubei.

The prince's concubine and the emperor's concubine are two completely different species.

Yao's lay on the bed softly, and it had been a morning since she asked Li Xiaomei to say goodbye, but as soon as she closed her eyes, what flashed in her mind was Li Xiaomei's red dress.

What is clearer is Xiao Chen Ding, who is dressed like a Fuwa on the New Year's painting. White and chubby, a pair of big eyes as bright as black pearls, and a pair of small dimples exposed by a smile, I really love people.

Yao suddenly felt as if he wanted a child.

When the Yao family was still a first-class family in Taiwan, the Yao family also had a crimson dream more than once, marrying a handsome, gentle and talented father-in-law. But the reality is so cruel......

"Bring me a cloak, I want to sit at Sister Zhu's place."

Yao's family couldn't calm down, and he only ate a few bites of lunch at noon, but he still let the maids around him eat some on his behalf. Otherwise, someone else will spread an extra tongue: On the day of the little grandfather's birthday, Aunt Yao looked depressed. The words were about to reach the ears of his wife, and the Yao family didn't dare to expect Li Xiaomei to not care at all.

Yellow cloud brocade cotton jacket and pleated cotton skirt, tightly tied around the waist with a five-color palace butterfly long spike, and put on a pink butterfly wearing a flower tribute satin white fox fur lizi stand-up collar gown, and a mink cloak, Yao's hand also held a stove. There is no way, Yao, who grew up in Taiwan since childhood, is very afraid of the cold of the northern winter.

This outing, although it is only a few steps away, is really tightly wrapped.

There is a plum blossom planted in the left hand outside Yao's room, and as soon as you go out, you can smell a fine fragrance, and the cold that comes to your nose, which is very refreshing. At this time, the plum blossoms bloom just right, red as rouge,...... (To be continued.) )
