After more than 20 days of sea voyage, the summer fleet of the Great Song Dynasty arrived at Kunnan Bay, and the reason why they came to Tang County instead of Han County was because the wharf in Han County was not completely repaired, and there was no warehouse, and it was not as mature as Tang County.

Of course, the most important reason is that the state government has not yet moved to Han County, and it is still in Tang County, and the official offices and official residences in Han County have not been built, and Fan Ning still has his own house in Tang County.

Fan Ning walked down from the big ship with his wife, and he was greeted by Yu Xiaonian, the judge of the Overseas Economic Strategy Mansion, who was also the Sima of Kunzhou, and he handled the state affairs on his behalf during Fanning's absence in Kunzhou.

"See Zhizhou, welcome Zhizhou back!"

Fan Ning couldn't help but be slightly stunned, Yu Xiaonian's expression was very serious, and his lips pursed into a line, this is not the attitude that he should have.

Could it be that something happened in Kunzhou?

Fanning looked at several of the other men who had come to greet him, and there was a little uneasiness in everyone's eyes.

Something must have happened!

Fanning turned around and said a few words to Jupei, who nodded, and waited patiently with Jian Meizi and Aya on the side.

Fan Ning invited Yu Xiaonian aside and said in a deep voice: "Just say it bluntly, what happened during my absence in Kunzhou?" ”

"Something did happen, not too big but not too small." Yu Xiaonian sighed.

Fanning didn't interrupt him and listened as he continued.

"A fire broke out six days ago between Japanese laborers and Kunzhou people, and fifteen people died." Yu Xiaonian directly said the final result.

Fanning's eyes narrowed, and he asked coldly, "And then?" ”

"Now the situation is a little tense, three Kun people have died, they refuse to give up, we must hand over the Japanese laborers who participated in the fire to them, otherwise it will ......."

"How else?"

Yu Xiaonian sighed and said, "They said that if we shelter the Japanese laborers, they will return to their ancestral land." ”

The so-called 'ancestral land' of the Kun people is the current location of Han County, Fan Ning snorted coldly, this is threatening himself!

It seemed that he was too good to these Kun people, and he began to kick his nose in the face one by one.

"Tell me first, how could they have a conflict?"

"It's a team of Japanese laborers who build roads......."

Yu Xiaonian told Fanning what happened in detail.

The construction between Tang County and Han County has been completed, but there is still some finishing work, which is completed by 1,000 Japanese laborers, who are divided into 10 teams and are responsible for the finishing work of each section.

The incident happened to the fifth group of laborers, who were working when they accidentally found a bear dead on the side of the road, and of course the 100 Japanese laborers were overjoyed, and immediately skinned and cut the meat, and set up a fire to barbecue the bear meat for a delicious meal.

But this bear is the prey of several Kunzhou hunters, when they found that their prey was eaten by Japanese laborers, the two sides had a quarrel, the Japanese laborers were numerous, several Kunzhou hunters were lonely, but they were resentful in their hearts, and they found more than a dozen hunters to help.

The quarrel between the two sides was fierce, and soon a fire broke out, with twelve Japanese laborers killed and more than twenty wounded, while the Kun people were killed three and seven wounded.

Of course, the Kun people did not do it, and the leader Wu Gan immediately led hundreds of people to take revenge, and the Japanese laborers also gathered thousands of people, and the Song army sent troops in time, separating the two sides.

Yu Xiaonian negotiated with the Kun people in an attempt to calm down the incident, but Wu Gan, the leader of the Kun tribe, took a tough attitude and demanded that the government hand over the Japanese laborers who participated in the fire and merger to them for disposal, involving seventy or eighty Japanese laborers, how could Yu Xiaonian hand them over, and the matter was frozen.

In the end, Yu Xiaonian sighed and said: "I negotiated with the Kun people three times, and they became tougher and tougher each time, and threatened me that if the Japanese laborers were not handed over to them within five days, they would collectively move back to their ancestral land." ”

"How many days is it?"

"It's the third day!"

Fan Ning nodded and said to Yu Xiaonian: "You send someone to tell Wu Gan, just say that I am back, I will deal with this matter, let him come to me directly, and send someone now!" ”

"Ignorance, understood!"

Yu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, his prestige among the Kun people was not high, and the Kun people didn't buy his account much, but Fan Zhizhou was different, Fan Zhizhou came back, and this anxious matter might be solved in one sentence.

Yu Xiaonian immediately arranged for one of his subordinates to ride a horse to the Kun tribe.

Fan Ning then returned to Tang County with his wife.

As for Gao Shilin, Zhu Sheng, the Yang family, the Pang family and others, Mingren took them to the gold fields to inspect the gold fields first, and Fan Ning couldn't take care of them for the time being.

Tang County is still so prosperous, compared with more than two months ago, there seem to be a few more shops in the city, a carpenter shop and a blacksmith shop.

There was a large wheel in front of the carpenter's shop, and two men, an old man and a young man, were installing a carriage, which looked like father and son.

The most serious problem of the team in Kunzhou is the lack of labor, and Kunzhou has never allowed ordinary households to hire Japanese laborers, so that the shops are basically unable to hire people, and the owners can only take charge of the labor themselves.

In addition to the busy carpenter's shop, the sound of tinkling iron adds a bit of popularity to this quiet small county town.

The blacksmith shop is a brick house, which is a special regulation in Kunzhou, and any shop involved in fire must use a brick house or mud house, and no wooden house is allowed.

The problem of fire prevention has always been a big hidden danger that lingers in the counties of Kunzhou, all of which are wooden houses, and one family is on fire, basically burning out.

As early as the year before last, Fanning formulated the first state law of Kunzhou, "Kunzhou Fire Prevention Rules", which everyone must strictly abide by, and once they violate it more than twice, they will be expelled from the county seat and go to live in the countryside.

For example, the county is divided into 20 fire prevention areas, and as long as there is a fire in one family in this area, all the families in the area must come out to fight the fire.

For example, each area has a military patrol shop house and a fire watchtower, that is, the fire brigade of the Song Dynasty, each shop house has five shopkeepers, and is also equipped with large and small buckets, sprinklers, hemp ties, axes and saws, ladders, fire forks, large ropes, iron cats and other fire-fighting equipment, especially large and small buckets and sprinklers are equipped with each house.

In addition, starting this year, Fanning plans to gradually transform the wooden houses in the county into brick houses, which is the measure to fundamentally reduce the fire hazard.

Fanning and Juppé soon came to his house, which had been slightly remodeled, covering about two acres of land, surrounded by a wall, and consisting of three wooden houses, one large and two small, in a zigzag pattern.

The large wooden house is a guest hall, a dining hall, a living room, etc., and there are two smaller wooden houses in the back, one is the bedroom of Fanning and Jupei, and the other is for Jianmeizi and Aya to live in.

After the official residence of Han County is repaired, this courtyard will either be handed over to the county government or bought with their own money, and it will not be cheap, according to the market price.

Fanning was ready to buy it, and he also had a place to stay when he toured Tang County.

Soon, the soldiers brought his luggage, and dozens of large boxes were piled up in a room.

"You get out! You get out! ”

Juppé pushed Fanning out of the room, "Packing is our woman's business, don't get involved as a big man!" ”

It was as if she was packing her bags a lot.

Fanning scratched his head and smiled: "Shouldn't you take a bath first and then go to eat?" ”

"That's right!"

When it comes to bathing, Juppé gets excited, and she finds that she likes the taste of bathing in the hot springs here more and more, and the comfort of bathing on Shinjima Island makes her never forget.

Although there is a special bathhouse on the street, they will not go, and they will meet a group of aunts and aunts, and there are even Japanese prostitutes in it, and they will not go to kill Jupei.

Just do it, Fanning and Jian Meizi ran to fetch water, Aya was in charge of brushing the bath, and Zhu Pei was of course in charge of directing.

The bath is actually a king-sized wooden barrel, and almost every household has one, especially in winter, when every household has to soak in the hot spring bath every day.

The barrel in Fanning's house was added later, or a new barrel, unused, four square meters, which required at least twenty buckets of water to be filled, and there was a cork stopper underneath, and when the plug was removed, the water flowed directly into the stone ditch on the street, all the way out of the city.

However, as a Zhizhou, Fanning is still a little privileged, his house is less than fifty steps away from the hot spring mouth, and the government has specially installed an elevated water diversion stone trough, as long as you step on the waterwheel at the hot spring, the hot spring will flow to the yard through the stone trough, and you can receive water directly in the yard, and you don't need to carry a bucket to run to the hot spring to draw water.

Two soldiers stepped on a water wheel at the hot spring, and streams of hot spring water flowed into Fanning's courtyard, Fanning and Jianmeizi took turns carrying water, and in just a moment, dozens of buckets of hot water filled the large bucket pool.

"Husband, why don't you go to the dormitory for a while! You are not needed here. ”

Fanning was once again kicked out of the house by Jupe, and Jian Meizi and Aya also had to take a bath, what is he here?

"I'll go to the store to take a bath, and then I'll wait for you at Lao Luo Ji Restaurant!"

Fanning dropped a sentence and went out.
