Chapter 174: The Spring Festival of Chongzhen's seventeenth year has arrived

It was almost the end of the year, Liu Defu was busy with things, and he couldn't stay in Daishan for long, so he hurriedly left Daishan by boat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Ren Siqi took Song Liben and others to say goodbye at the dock.

"My lord, do you really trust this surnamed Liu?" Looking at the shadow of the ship in the distance, Song Liben said on the side.

"What? Do you think he can't be trusted? Ren Siqi asked curiously.

"It's not that he can't be trusted, I always feel that he is an outsider, not our own brother." Song Liben frowned.

"As long as there is interest, he will be with us. Now for us in Daishan, with one more friend like this, we will develop faster. As for loyalty, if there is interest, there will be loyalty, and if there is no interest, or if there is a conflict of interests, no matter how faithful people are, they will have different hearts. Ren Siqi said slowly, and Song Liben bowed down to be taught.

"By the way, how did you go to recruit readers?" Ren Siqi asked.

"I posted a notice on the streets of Yinxian County, and I heard that I was coming to Daishan Island, but many scholars ignored it. In the end, I found about 20 people, but most of them were not well educated, and they were only rough in writing, and they had already received my deposit, and they would come over in the future. It's really ashamed that my subordinates are not doing well. Song Liben said embarrassedly.

"It's already good!" Ren Siqi approving, this Daishan Island is too remote, it would be good if someone was willing to come, as for the size of the knowledge, it didn't matter if they came to teach the Four Books and Five Classics.

"After the New Year, when everyone comes back, this lecture hall will also be set up, and some of these scholars will be selected to teach in the lecture hall to teach and teach the soldiers to read and write. Others are doing things in the Inspection Division, doing some written records. Ren Siqi commanded.

"My lord, do you really want to build a martial arts hall? But for these soldiers, it is enough to be obedient, is it necessary to make them read and write? Song Liben was puzzled.

"Of course it's necessary, my martial arts hall is to train non-commissioned officers, and in the future, our team will grow bigger and bigger, and someone has to lead the troops. In the future, all officers in my army must be trained in the martial arts hall before they can lead the troops! ā€

"My lord, my subordinates, can my subordinates enter the martial arts hall?" Song Liben asked Ren Siqi embarrassedly.

"Haha, of course you have to enter, Lao Song, but it's impossible to lead the troops, I have another important responsibility for you!" Ren Siqi said with a smile.

"What do you want me to do, my lord?" Song Liben's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Let's go, let's go back to the yamen, and I'll talk to you slowly." Ren Siqi invited.

Ren Siqi took Song Liben and Xiong Er and his party back to Gaoting Town, all the startups on Daishan Island, there was not even a carriage, everyone could only walk on foot.

"The road from the castle to the docks needs to be rested, preferably paved with stone roads, and we have to buy some horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, which are too time-consuming to walk." Ren Siqi commanded casually.

"My lord, we should buy a sedan chair, you are now an official, how can you still walk?" Song Liben said.

"You don't need a sedan chair, buy a few horses, let's take a horse if we have something, it's much faster than a sedan chair." Ren Siqi commanded.

"What do you want me to do, my lord?" As soon as he returned to the Inspection Division, Song Liben couldn't wait to ask. In these days, everyone else had their own positions, but he had the title of scribe, but he did not have any position, which made him very uneasy.

"Old Song, with your body and bones, it is definitely not possible to lead soldiers. That's why I didn't have your job assigned some time ago. You also know that our next step is to exterminate the pirates in the Daishan area, but we don't know much about the situation of the pirates, and I want you to be in charge of finding out the information. Ren Siqi said.

"The art of war is cloudy: knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, we must know the details of the pirates on each island in order to exterminate the pirates at the lowest cost. In this way, I will allocate some of your brothers who live in the Zhoushan area, and you will be responsible for giving me the details of the entire Zhoushan Islands. ā€

Listening to Ren Siqi's words, Song Liben's eyes became brighter and brighter, he used to be a fortune teller in You Fang, and he was the best at this kind of inquiry.

"My lord, what level is my position?" Song Liben asked embarrassedly, a certain level in the Daishan Inspection Department means a certain treatment, which must be asked clearly.

"Well, I decided to set up a marching division, with you as the director, and the level of the band." Ren Siqi said. In the Daishan Inspection Division, in addition to Ren Siqi's inspection, the highest level is the ship pipe belt, ship supervisor and team leader, team supervisor, Song Liben became the director of the marching department, which means that he has also entered the upper echelon of the Daishan Inspection Division, and is one of the highest positions under Ren Siqi.

"My lord, you can be fine, I promise to take care of this for you!" Song Liben patted his chest and said.

"Well, remember, not only do you have to find out the details of the pirates on each island, but even the situation on Zhoushan Island will also be clear to me!"

---------------------------------

In the blink of an eye, it is the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and the New Year is getting closer and closer. Ren Siqi took advantage of the previous year to go back to Renjiawan and brought various gifts to the villagers to greet the New Year.

The villagers in Renjiawan all know that Ren Siqi has become an inspector, and they are very enthusiastic when they see Ren Siqi coming back, and some people are not very full of Ren Siqi, that is, the old patriarch Ren Jizu.

"Siqi, why are you doing this little inspection, you should be at ease in the imperial examination. If you are admitted to the Jinshi, you can naturally be an official at that time, isn't it better than doing this inspection? The patriarch reproached. In the eyes of Ren Jizu, although the inspection is an official, it is the right way to raise people in the examination.

"This, fourth grandfather, it doesn't mean that you can pass the test." Ren Siqi reluctantly explained, but ushered in the second chatter of the old patriarch.

It was easy to get rid of the patriarch's chatter, and Ren Siqi gave every family a New Year's gift, and left Renjiawan. Now that the Daishan Inspection Division has just been established, he doesn't dare to leave for too long. This made the patriarch Ren Jizu even more dissatisfied, but he couldn't prevent Ren Siqi from leaving.

Ren Xingfan, Ren Likun and other families naturally stayed in Renjiawan for the New Year, and even Xiong Er stayed in Renjiawan to reunite with Widow Li. However, after the New Year, these people will return to Daishan with their families, these people are at the level of deputy supervisors, and everyone has a share of dozens of acres of land in Daishan, so they will naturally take their families back to Daishan to manage their own fields. The impoverished Renjiawan land is barren and has nothing to be nostalgic for. And as these people move their families to Daishan, more and more villagers will choose to leave Renjiawan and go to Daishan to join Ren Siqi, which is a later story.

In this hurry, the Spring Festival of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen finally arrived. (To be continued.) )
