More than 10 berths have been built at the South Jiaolai River Wharf, which is to increase the number of ships in the future, and multiple ships will load goods at the same time, saving the time for ships to dock and wait, and each berth can accommodate large Fu ships to enter and exit.

At this time, the two Dafu boats, led by the small boats at the Jiaolai River Wharf, each docked at two adjacent berths on the north bank of the river.

By the time the boat came to a stop, the officers and men of the naval division had already set up the gangplank to the shore.

On the north shore, Feng Jian, Chen Suowen and others were waiting eagerly for Governor Sun of the Fu Boat to appear, perhaps because they were not used to taking a boat, or maybe they were trying to fill up their official authority.

After a long time, a group of people slowly walked out of the first Daifuku boat, and it was Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and a large group of staff and guards behind him who walked in front of him.

Feng Jian watched from afar at the governor of Denglai, who was dressed in a round-headed black gauze official, a white regimental collar shirt in a second-grade red silk robe, and a belt around his waist.

Looking carefully at this old man in his fifties with a slender face and three long beards on his upper lip and chin, Feng Jian sighed secretly.

Two months later, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, would be captured by Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other rebellious generals and taken as a prisoner of the rebels, as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the imperial court.

After being rescued, he became a bargaining chip in the struggle between cabinet minister Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, and was executed by order of Emperor Chongzhen.

Speaking of which, this Governor Sun is also considered to have a bad fate, and he has continuously become a pawn in the hands of others.

Feng Jian felt that it was a pity, because such a great expert in making artillery, and the method of how to use artillery in combat he pioneered, all disappeared with his death, leaving not a single word!

Feng Jian knew what would happen in the future. I also know what the consequences will be, but my strength is not enough to directly save the other party. In other words, you can communicate directly with the other party to achieve the extent that the other party can avoid evil. Therefore, what should have happened in two months will still happen, and the fate of this Governor Sun seems to be predestined!

Chen Suowen took the lead and waited on the shore, and when Sun Yuanhua walked to the shore through the springboard, Chen Suowen first bowed to Sun Yuanhua, and then Feng Jian, Fang Zengwei and other officials who felt that Pingdu Prefecture was on the table stepped forward to meet the governor.

Sun Yuanhua also had patience, supporting the people who came forward to meet them one by one and comforting them with gentle words until all the people who came to see him finished visiting.

Then he said to Chen: "Today, you dredge the South Jiaolai River, and this governor is here to congratulate!" ”

Chen Suowen hurriedly bowed down and said: "The governor is still moving calmly in the midst of his busy affairs, and the lower officials are inexplicably grateful. Please also ask the governor to give me advice! ”

Sun Yuanhua stroked his beard under his chin and smiled: "It's easy to say." Then he turned to Feng Jian and said: "Ben Fu will fulfill his promise by the way, and specially allocate two No. 1 Dafu ships and 510 officers and soldiers to your Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp. ”

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Feng Jian, and when he saw that Feng Jian didn't seem to care, he thought that Feng Jian was young and didn't hear the meaning of his words, and continued: "Feng Shoubei, these five hundred officers and soldiers of the Water Division are considered elite divisions in public in my Dengzhou Water Division, and Ben Fu has transferred them to you this time as soldiers of your Zhou Xun Battalion, I hope you can treat them well!" In the future, the waterway of the South Jiaolai River will surely prosper, and there will still be a shortage of eight boats in your state flood camp. Wait for you to slowly train the officers and men of the sailor division, and Benfu will allocate an empty boat for you. ”

The people present are all human spirits, and Sun Yuanhua's meaning is to give a slap and a sweet date, that is, you, Feng Jian, promised to accept these five hundred officers and soldiers. In the future, empty boats will continue to be allocated to the state flood camp, and no more people will be stuffed in.

Feng Jian sighed secretly, the officers and soldiers of the 500 Naval Division could not become an army without two or three years of training. The imperial court spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources, just because the greedy soldiers were slack. Soldiers' salaries became one of the sources of income for officials at all levels of the imperial court to reap benefits for themselves. The fall of the Ming Dynasty only accounted for 30% of natural disasters, and man-made disasters were the main reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty!

Feng Jian is now facing this situation. Governor Sun Yuanhua directly stuffed these officers and soldiers of the Navy Division out like a hot potato! It is not that the vacancy of 500 soldiers can be obtained by Sun Yuanhua alone, but by a group of related interest groups.

Feng Jian immediately said: "This is a good thing, the lowly position is worried about the nowhere to recruit the officers and soldiers of the sailor, or the governor is thoughtful, and the lowly post once again thanks the governor for taking care of him!" “

Sun Yuanhua saw that Feng Zhen's demeanor was not reluctant, and his words were crisp, so he nodded with a smile and said, "No wonder he was praised by the saint, he is indeed a young hero." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to the people who were standing in a large group of staff and had obtained the attire of two military attachés, and when the two of them walked in front of him, he said loudly: "You two have come forward to see Lord Feng, Lord Feng is the military attache of the Wupin garrison of the Zhou Xun Camp, and he is your top boss. ”

Feng Jian looked at the two people in seventh-grade military attache uniforms, both of whom were in their thirties, with huge bodies and dark skin on their bodies, which could be seen to be due to exposure to the sun. Feng Jian had a good impression of the two of them at first sight.

The two immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted Feng Jian and called their names: "The last general No. 1 Dafu ship will see the chief military attache Zhuang Yingchang to the garrison lord, and the last general No. 2 Dafu ship will see the chief military attache Zhang Wentai to the garrison lord." ”

Feng Jian hurriedly bent down and politely helped the two of them up, and said politely: "Hurry up, two of you, the state flood camp can get two adults and their subordinates to join, and it will be full of vitality!" ”

Several people stood on the shore and said a few polite words.

Chen Suowen said on the side: "This is not a place to talk, please move the governor to the official office and give instructions again!" ”

Sun Yuanhua's purpose of this trip was successfully achieved, and his mood became cheerful, and he immediately led his staff and entourage to the Pingdu official office for a banquet under the arrangement of the local officials in Pingdu.

After the banquet, Chen Suowen, Feng Jian and other local officials themselves sent a rich ceremony to Governor Sun and his entourage before sending the governor away.

Chen Suowen invited Feng Jian into his study alone, here Feng Jian came in for the first time, and Chen Fu withdrew after serving tea.

Chen Suowen frowned and thought for a while before asking, "I know that you have always refused to suffer losses, why did you agree to the governor's request so happily today, at least you have to take care of it and ask for some benefits by the way." ”

The two are now in a son-in-law relationship, so Chen no longer conceals what he said, and directly expressed his doubts and dissatisfaction.

This governor has two months to do at most, and now asking him for any benefit is in the air! But this explanation is simply not true.

So Feng Jian smiled and said: "My father-in-law knows that my son-in-law has no people who know how to ship on the water, and the Jiaolai River has resumed navigation, and the number of ships has increased, and the flood camp in our state shoulders the heavy responsibility of managing this water channel, but because there are no officers and soldiers of the water division, this important task will inevitably be criticized......

Chen Suowen glared and said: "The old man is thinking about you, but you are still playing sloppy with the old man, you kid!" Tell us what you're really going to do! ”

Feng Jian couldn't cry or laugh, was he really so unbearable in the eyes of this father-in-law? The real plan is indeed there, but can I tell Chen that there will be a Dengzhou rebellion in two months, and that he is preparing for this imminent rebellion? This is obviously impossible!

His father-in-law does have a keen sense of observation on key matters, which Feng Jian sighed to himself.

couldn't explain clearly, Feng Jian had to swear: "My father-in-law just thinks that these 500 officers and soldiers of the Water Division are crowding out the quota of the Zhou Xun Battalion, and the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion under my son-in-law will not be able to maintain. Don't worry, my lord, there is no food for the 500 people in the state flood camp, and I am training to kill the enemy like the soldiers of the Zhenshan battalion. Moreover, since the officers and soldiers of these 500 sailors are serving as soldiers under the command of the son-in-law, they must be subject to the jurisdiction of the son-in-law, and if they violate it, they will be unable to regret it! ”

Chen Suowen felt more and more that his son-in-law's actions were always unpredictable and unexpected, so he had no choice but to change the topic and said: "The Jiaolai River is open to navigation, and ships passing through it naturally need to pay for berthing and occupying the channel, and this matter is under the jurisdiction of your state flood camp, you have to start making preparations." ”

Feng Jian said: "This matter is not what the son-in-law is good at, and I am about to ask my father-in-law for help, and I ask my father-in-law to accept it." ”

Chen Suowen had a smile on his face, he was very pleased that his son-in-law knew how to share the benefits in his hands, the Jiaolai River was passable, everyone knew that this was a big piece of fat, if Feng Jian insisted on taking the right to collect taxes in his own hands, he would undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.

Now it seems that Feng Jian obviously knows the powerful relationship in this, and it is really teachable!

He nodded and said: "In this way, the old man is more maggot, and he sets up a card in this Jiaolai River to collect taxes, of course, the first thing is to pay off the silver taels you have advanced." ”

After Weng and his son-in-law finished talking about official affairs, it was natural to mention family affairs, Chen Suowen was very concerned about his daughter, and he instructed Feng Jian: "Now that Lilan is pregnant, let her not rest her body and mind, and don't worry too much about chores!" ”

Feng Jian said respectfully: "Father-in-law, don't worry, now that the affairs of my house are in charge of my mother, I will definitely not let the fence be tired." ”

Returning to the garrison from the Zhizhou Office, leaving the guards who followed him in the front yard, Feng Jian went to see his mother first, and then turned around and walked to the backyard.

At this time, it was already June, the weather was starting to be sweltering, and Feng Jian had just arrived at the door of the support when he heard the voice of Yingying Yanyan from the courtyard.

You don't need to distinguish Feng Jian to know that Chen Lilan, Su Su, and Xiao Hairpin are taking the lead to take the maid to "fight the royalist".

This is Feng Jian saw that the pregnant three girls were bored all day, so he brought a kind of solitaire that was popular on the Internet in later generations, and the three girls were out of control after learning, and they got together all day long and started playing cards.

Pushing the door into the courtyard gate, I saw that there was a table of eight immortals under the big locust tree in the courtyard, Chen Lilan, Su Su, Xiao Hairpin and two other clever maids sat around the table, holding the cards made by Feng Jian with cardboard shells, and they were staring at the cards in their hands one by one. There were also seven or eight maids standing behind a few people, watching with relish.

Feng Jian smiled: "Who will tell the husband, who will lose the card game!" ”

Feng Jian's words immediately attracted the attention of the women, and the maids immediately turned around and saluted Feng Jian, and Feng Jian said with his hand for a while: "Don't be polite." ”
