"Uh, what's wrong with you, husband? Wasn't that just a little happy? Why did you have a black face in a blink of an eye? Who you off? Liu Fan, who was still smiling just now, went to the study and suddenly came back with a drooping face, which made the three girls feel extremely stunned, and under the curiosity in her heart, Zhang Yao, who was straightforward, couldn't help but ask

Seeing Liu Fan's frowning appearance, Shuying was a little distressed, and couldn't help but say, "That's it, wasn't it okay just now, why did it suddenly become like this now?" Husband, are you alright? ”

Seeing the two girls looking concerned about the cold and asking for warmth, Liu Bing'er pursed her lips and quietly took two steps back, Zhang Yao and Tian Shuying are the wives that Liu Fanming is marrying, but she Liu Bing'er is just a nameless "little poor child" who is not qualified to be involved in other people's husbands and wives, all she can do is watch silently.

"It's nothing, it's just bad news. I've sent someone to solve it, and I'm sure there will be a result soon! Liu Fan didn't want to bring these bad troubles to his family, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, how did you discuss the things you celebrated?" Who are you going to invite to your house? ”

Shuying snapped her fingers and said, "Of course, the more the better, Xiaohu, Wu Tao, senior brother, they won't let go of any of them." Speaking of which, we didn't have a banquet to invite them over this year, but now it's time to make up for it! ”

"It's okay, there are too many things this year and I don't have time to call everyone to get together, I think it's better to invite everyone to our house tomorrow to have a lively time, and by the way, make a summary of the annual meeting and plan this year's development!"

As soon as Liu Fan's words were finished, Zhang Yao, Shuying and even Liu Bing'er, who was silent, frowned involuntarily. The three daughters were a little dissatisfied with Liu Fan's decision, but Liu Fan had already said it, and they couldn't oppose it openly, so they could only sigh in their hearts and reluctantly agree.

The next day, Liu Fan invited all the high-ranking members of the Broken Army to come to the General Military Mansion to attend the banquet, and even Zhao Bo, who had not yet had time to leave Shihe, received a notice from Liu Fan. The invited people were a little confused after meeting each other in the living room of the General Soldier's Mansion, it stands to reason that such a high-level banquet is not a few times a year in Jiaozhou. And now that the Lantern Festival is over, there is no major festival to celebrate! Everyone was puzzled and asked each other, but the result was that everyone didn't know. Even Liu Fan's father-in-law, Zhang Yiheng, didn't know anything.

Just when everyone was talking about each other, Liu Fan took Zhang Yao and others to the living room. Seeing Liu Fan and the others, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and for a while, the cries of "Overseer" and "Madam" were endless.

Waving his hand to send everyone away, Liu Fan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal to call everyone here this time." A while ago, we just took over the complicated affairs of Laizhou, and we didn't have time to celebrate it properly, but this time Yao'er proposed half a banquet to celebrate the breakthrough of the flintlock pistol developed by the arsenal, so the governor called everyone over by the way! ”

After a pause, Liu Fan continued, "There are two main purposes for this gathering, one is to celebrate, and the other is to take this opportunity to make a belated year-end summary, and by the way, arrange this year's plan!" ”

Hearing Liu Fan's explanation, everyone was stunned, but the annual meeting of previous years was not held this year, and everyone thought that this year would be exempted, but they didn't expect Liu Fan to wait for everyone here. Fortunately, after the last reform, everyone has a clearer understanding of what they are responsible for, otherwise they would have to be blind when Liu Fan asked.

"Come on, let's serve!" Liu Fan commanded, smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone is not an outsider, this time is mainly to celebrate, so let's eat and chat!" ”

Liu Fan gave an order, and the maids who had been waiting for a long time rushed in, carefully placing the carefully cooked delicacies in front of everyone. Looking at this table of delicious treasures, Liu Fan couldn't help but sigh, "We have big fish and meat here, but who knows how many people are eating bran and starving tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Yiheng was also aroused by Liu Fan, and couldn't help but be full of compassion and compassion, "Yes, now there is turmoil today, and the people are not happy." The life of the people is too hard, and it is time for the sun to twilight, which is sad and lamentable! ”

"The people are poor, and the root cause of the chaos in the world is not you and me, but those corrupt officials and the princes of the imperial court, and it is their incompetence that has led to my Ming Dynasty falling into such a situation. The loyal and virtuous people are depressed, but the greedy and despicable villains steal the high position, and in the long run, the country will not be a country! Sun Yuanhua scolded bitterly

"Uh" Liu Fan didn't expect that just a sentence of emotion would cause such a big reaction from the two of them, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart. Hurriedly said, "It is precisely because of this that we must unite together to build a richer and stronger Jiaolai together." Let the people of Shandong and even the whole Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment is the goal we have to strive for! ”

"Well, Jimin is right!" Sun Yuanhua nodded in agreement, "I have always been puzzled by Jimin's methods, thinking that his methods against the gentry are too ruthless, but now it seems that Jimin is doing the right thing." The current Jiaozhou and the future Laizhou are the paradise we have been looking forward to. Old man, I want to say sorry to Jimin here, I was wrong! Sun Yuanhua said and stood up and saluted Liu Fan in an orderly manner.

Liu Fan was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Sun Yuanhua and said, "Senior brother, what are you doing." We are all a family, why do we have to be so angry! Since you came to Jiaozhou, how much have you contributed to the whole of the Broken Army? If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would still be fighting the enemy with spears in our hands! ”

"I have to bear the mistakes I made, the old man is indeed wrong, Jimin doesn't have to excuse me! The purpose of the old man saying these words today is to make a break with the past, and to do something for the people of Jiaolai and Jiaolai wholeheartedly in the future, and repay the debts I owe in Denglai and Denglai! Alas! Sun Yuanhua sighed and stopped talking.

Liu Fan was also a little silent when he heard this, it seems that the scars left by Kong Youde's matter in Sun Yuanhua's heart are difficult to make up for in a short time. Although Sun Yuanhua is also responsible for the suffering suffered by the people in Denglai and Denglai, the root cause is no longer him, and Kong Youde himself should be blamed! After being silent for a while, Liu Fan said: "Senior brother, don't worry, the hatred of the people of Denglai and Denglai, they remember, and we will not forget, since Kong Youde has taken refuge in the Tartars, then we will meet him sooner or later, and when the time comes, our Broken Army will use the musket you made to avenge this great revenge with your own hands!"
