The four adults in the lobby have already entered the seat, and the state Tongzhi Fang Zengwei Gong accompanied the last seat, and it is also the proper meaning of the state Tongzhi to accompany him on this occasion.

When Feng Jian appeared in the back hall in a five-grade military attache uniform, several people looked at him with admiration. Gao Gonggong also praised Feng Jian in his official clothes, and he looked even more talented and handsome.

On the table, Gao Binggao's father-in-law is from the Beijing Normal University, and the governor of Denglai and the governor of Laizhou, Pingdu Zhizhou, can directly control themselves, and their official titles are higher than their own, so the first thing Feng Jian did was to honestly pay homage to several adults, and for the state Tongzhi who was one level lower than himself, he also used the same level as a salute.

During the banquet, Gao Bing and his father-in-law almost unabashedly expressed his appreciation for Feng Jian, saying that he would definitely not stand idly by in the future. At the same time, he also made a commitment to several other senior officials present.

Except for Feng Jian, a newcomer to the officialdom, the rest of you certainly know that Gao Gonggong's promise is not reliable, it is nothing more than a disguised request for benefits, they naturally will not let Gao Gonggong return empty-handed, and the red envelopes are ready.

It is true that Feng Jian is a newcomer to officialdom, but he is not a foolish person, he has already prepared a red envelope before coming, and it is a big red envelope!

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Gao Gonggong excused himself from working all the way, and asked Chen Suowen to find a place to rest.

The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty have taken it for granted that they accept bribes and accept benefits when they go out to do business, and if you pretend to be high and refuse to accept other people's benefits, you will become the target of public criticism.

Why did Chongzhen refute Zhou Yanru and others at the first day of the Lunar New Year. It is because he has also discovered how serious the consequences of this style of bribery can be. But even if he is the emperor, there is no way to cure it.

When Gao Binggao's father-in-law took the two thousand taels of silver tickets handed over by Feng Jian, his eyes couldn't help but shine. This Feng Jian is really a big deal, and even the governor of Denglai only sent five hundred taels of ceremonies just now.

The tone of conversation with Feng Jian immediately became more kind, and he praised Feng Jian for his ability to do things, saying that he would definitely promote Feng Jian if he had the opportunity.

After everyone visited Father-in-law Gao, the banquet continued, and the topic of drinking among the literati was naturally indispensable, but fortunately, Feng Jian also knew some poetry and songs, and occasionally he could match two sentences, which attracted Chen Suowen and others to look up to him even more.

Gradually, Sun Yuanhua, Chen Suowen, Zhu Wannian and others began to talk about government affairs. Feng Jian couldn't interject in this regard, so he could only listen quietly.

With such a good opportunity, Chen Suowen naturally did not forget to mention to Sun Yuanhua and Zhu Wannian that this year, Feng Jian will lead his guards to clean up the bandits in Daze Mountain, but he suffers from the lack of cannons and other lethal firearms.

Sun Yuanhua and Zhu Wannian were puzzled in their hearts, Chen Suowen unabashedly showed his concern for Feng Jian, how can he say this?

Feng Jian sat next to him and was very moved, and Chen Suowen confessed that he was a hairy son-in-law. Start planning for yourself and provide convenience for yourself everywhere and at all times!

Feng Jian secretly swore that with himself and the Zhenshan camp here, Chen Suowen would not die because of Kong Youde's rebellion. Pingdu City, which has a history of more than 200 years, will not be destroyed by the rebels.

During the banquet, Sun Yuanhua suddenly turned his head to Feng Jian and said, "Ben Fu listened to what Feng Shoubei said before, and it seems that he knows a lot about artillery manufacturing. Previous contact with artillery? ”

Feng Jian didn't have any contact with the artillery of this era, but he hadn't even seen it. Later generations have seen the artillery of this era in some Ming and Qing museums.

Now Sun Yuanhua asked if of course he couldn't tell the truth, so he began to talk a lot: "There is one person under the lowly position. When he was young, he had a deep relationship with the Franc Robot in the South China Sea, and according to him, the Hongyi cannon called by the Governor was actually a front-loading smoothbore gun, which was mounted on the Franc Machine's warship. This matter Hongyi cannon has been installed and applied to the city wall defense, against the enemy will be the siege of the enemy into the city head of the Hongyi cannon range, and then with the flowering shell set fire, the effect is very significant, presumably Nurhachi was killed is the work of the Hongyi cannon! ”

Sun Yuanhua interrupted Feng Jian with a smile: "Chen Zhizhou said that you are ready to lead your subordinates to exterminate all the thieves in Daze Mountain, and eliminate this scourge for the local area!" Benfu can't let you fight with thieves with your bare hands, you are now in charge of the state flood camp, but you don't have any boats under your hands, but you can't say it. ”

After speaking, he thought for a while with his wine glass, raised his eyes and saw Feng Jian looking at him with a nervous expression, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "What are you nervous about, the benefits of your state flood camp are indispensable." This Fu will order the Dengzhou Sailor to send out two blessing boats as your state flood camp water shipping boats, and in the future, the Jiaolai River will be navigable, and then add more boats to your state flood camp according to the situation. ”

Feng Jian was stunned, he never expected that this governor would be so generous, he was worried about the lack of ships, Sun Yuanhua suddenly allocated himself two fully equipped Dafu boats.

Chen Suowen coughed on the side and said, "Don't hurry up and thank the governor!" ”

Feng Jian hurriedly bowed to the ground and kowtowed, but Sun Yuanhua stopped him and said: "Don't worry, your state flood camp is reorganized, and there is a shortage ......of blades, armor, bird guns, tiger squatting cannons, gunpowder, pliers and other equipment, and this Fu will note that the Dengzhou military reserve road will be allocated as soon as possible."

Feng Jian kowtowed and said, "I am shocked to ensure that with these equipment...... The officers and men of the state flood battalion will surely sweep away the Daze mountain bandits. ”

Sun Yuanhua bowed his head and said: "Your state flood camp is willing to exterminate the bandits and bandits for the local state and county, Benfu does not object, but you must keep in mind that the duty of the state flood camp is to protect the smooth shipping channel of the Nanjiaolai River." ”

Seeing that Feng Jian agreed simply, he had to give two more instructions, and he felt that saying too much would make Chen Suowen unhappy, so he kept silent.

Chen Suowen coughed, and turned to Zhu Wannian: "Lord Governor is generous, you can't be stingy as your top boss!" ”

Zhu Wannian obviously had a good personal relationship with Chen Suowen, and said with a smile: "The governor is rich and rich. My small Laizhou Mansion cannot be compared, and there is still a surplus of grain in the government treasury this year. Is it possible to allocate 1,000 stone of wheat and grain to the state flood camp as military rations? As he spoke, his gaze turned to Feng Jian.

Grain is always an important material, and Zhu Wannian provides this thousand stone of grain. The Zhenshan camp did not need to rely on Huluyan grain subsidies, which greatly alleviated the food crisis after the spring of Huluyan, and Feng Jian was naturally willing to thank Zhu Wannian for his timely assistance.

Sun Yuanhua took a sip of Feng Jian's toast, put down his glass and said: "After all, Feng Shoubei has just entered the official career, in fact, you don't have to be too grateful to us and others, whether it is ships, weapons and equipment, or food supplies, they are all materials of the imperial court, and your state flood camp also belongs to the yamen of the imperial court." We are just transferring matter from one yamen to another, resisting the armor of the imperial court. ”

Chen heard it on the side: "Otherwise, if the governor and Lord Zhu are generous, Feng Jian and the Zhou Xun camp are also unthinkable, so Feng Jian still has some gratitude to the two adults."

Chen heard what he said here, and several people here understood the meaning, and they just tacitly understood it, and it was just a matter of seeing what kind of performance Feng Jian would have next, and if he behaved well, the follow-up support would be endless. Bad performance, hehe......

Feng Jian glanced at what Chen had heard, and he still had one thousand taels and one votes on him, and he was a little stretched thin to distribute them to the governor and the prefect. The prospective father-in-law did not make any special explanations beforehand.

Feng Jian left the wine table with a confession, and was about to find Cheng Yousheng to go back and get some more silver tickets, and just walked out of the door of the back hall. I saw Chen Fuhou by the door.

Seeing that Feng Jian was in a hurry to go outside the Yi Gate, he thought about it and said, "The master ordered it in advance." The etiquette of several adults in the back hall has been taken care of, and Feng Gongzi only needs to sit and drink. ”

Feng Jian was stunned for a moment. I didn't pay anything in exchange for such selfless help from Chen Sowen, just to help, but to sincerely treat myself as my own!

Unconsciously, Feng Jian felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and he glanced at Chen Fudao, who was standing aside: "The wind and sand are big outside, and I was blinded!" As he spoke, he turned around and returned to the back hall of the state government.

At this time, the banquet has come to an end, and the benefits that individuals should achieve at the wine table have all settled, Feng Jian returned to the wine table and the other few people didn't care, only Chen looked at Feng Jian inquiringly, and found that Feng Jian had a grateful face, so he smiled and raised his glass to toast the governor again.

Gao Bing's other mission in Pingdu this time is to supervise the dredging of the Jiaolai River, to put it bluntly, to see if there are any local officials who are deceiving the imperial court, and the dredging of the Jiaolai River is equivalent to adding a shipping artery to the imperial court, so the imperial court attaches great importance to it from top to bottom.

The next day, accompanied by Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, Zhu Wannian, the governor of Laizhou, Chen Suowen, the governor of Pingdu, and Feng Jian, the garrison officer of Pingdu Flood Camp, went to the Jiaolai River waterway in the south of Pingdu City.

The people in the vicinity understand that after the South Jiaolai River is connected with the Jiaozhou Bay in the south, it will become a distribution center for goods and will bring many benefits to the local people.

Therefore, more and more people spontaneously participate in the daily river cleaning and sand and gravel collection work, and the only requirement is to eat for free.

After asking for instructions, the steward of the government not only promised to provide free meals for the people who were obliged to participate in the labor, but also decided to raise the standard of meals and add one or two pieces of meat every day to those who participated in the labor for free. At this time, the people who participated in the work were even more enthusiastic.

Gao Bing, accompanied by Feng Jian and his cadres, came to the construction site and saw such an enthusiastic work scene, and couldn't help but sigh: "If the Shaanxi homeless thieves can be as diligent and willing to work as the people of Pingdu, how can they still fall into the situation of wandering and becoming thieves!"

This father-in-law obviously didn't understand the suffering of the common people, but he was just talking about it, but the people at the scene had a very thorough understanding of why the homeless people rebelled and rebelled.

Feng Jian in front of him is a living example, the common people are not really desperate, who will do these head-killing business.

Let Gao Gonggong sigh with emotion, Gao Gonggong rested for another day, and then returned to Beijing with a thick pocket. Of course, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and Zhu Wannian, the governor of Laizhou, also left. (To be continued......)
