Fifteen days later, Fanning's boat finally arrived in Quanzhou, two big ships sailed into the Jinjiang River, everyone came to the side of the ship, looking at the seaside county they will live for many years, the county is very warm, blowing a slight sea breeze, cool and comfortable, refreshing.

"Husband, can you see the new mansion on the river?"

"Of course, we have our own dock, but unfortunately it's afternoon, if it's early in the morning, you can see the waterfall in the morning glow, it turns out to be purple, so the mansion is also called Zichuan Mansion, it is a famous house in Quanzhou."

At this time, my sister Adore ran over with Aya, pointed to a mansion in the distance and shouted, "Brother, that mansion actually has a waterfall!" ”

Fanning smiled slightly, "That mansion is really good!" ”

Ado said with a wistful face: "I'm so envious! Whose mansion actually has a waterfall. ”

Fanning and Juppé glanced at each other, and the two smiled heartily, Ado had regained her liveliness under Jupe's guidance, and was no longer disappointed that Ju Qi did not come to see her off.

At this time, two large ships slowly stopped on a private dock, and the dock was just enough to stop two passenger ships of 3,000 stones. Is it just ........

She jumped up with excitement, eager to grow wings and fly in.

"We're here, everyone is ready to disembark!"

Fanning picked up his daughter Zhen'er and took the lead in getting off the boat, in front of him was a river bank built with stones, the river bank was two feet wide, and a row of mango trees were planted along the riverside, which was there before, but the craftsmen laid stone slabs, and the river bank looked clean and tidy.

Two zhang away in front is a long wall, more than one zhang high, the outside of the wall is planted with bamboo, quite a bit of elegance, at this time, Lin Junsheng has already gotten the news, waiting for him on the dock for a long time.

He handed Fan Ning a vermilion lacquer box full of keys and said with a smile: "It was completed ten days ago, and it has been cleaned, just waiting for the envoy to come and collect the house!" ”

Fan Ning smiled: "Lord Lin has worked hard, and I will settle the settlement with you tomorrow." ”

"No hurry! No hurry! The key is to make you satisfied. ”

Lin Junsheng saw that there were a lot of female dependents, and it was inconvenient for him to enter the house, so he went out and handed the house door key to Fan Ning, "This is the house key, then I will say goodbye first, if there is any dissatisfaction, tell me tomorrow, I will correct it as soon as possible!" ”

He saluted Fanning and hurriedly left.

Fan Ning gave the keys to the gate and the side door to Steward Liu, and Steward Liu took a large group of servants along the courtyard wall to the front gate to enter the house, which is also the rule of wealthy families.

Fanning stepped forward and opened the door of the back house, Jian Meizi helped him push the door open, and everyone suddenly exclaimed, in front of them was a large green meadow, the grass was full of colorful flowers, and on the left was a small wood, and there was a pavilion next to the woods, and in the middle was a straight stone path, leading to the hill in front.

Zhen'er struggled down the mountain and rushed towards the meadow, laughing and running away, Ouyang Qian asked in surprise, "How could Fujun think of building a meadow?" ”

Fanning smiled, "This was originally farmland, but then it became a wasteland, overgrown with weeds, so I asked them to pull out all the weeds and plant dwarf varieties of young grass, so that they can ride horses here." ”

Fan Ning saw that his sister Ado and his daughter had picked a large handful of small wildflowers, so he smiled and said, "I will play again when I have time, and go to the house to find a room." ”

Everyone walked along the stone road in the middle to the inner house, in front of them is the waterfall cliff, the cliff is not high, only about four zhang, equivalent to four floors, the cliff is full of various vines and medicinal herbs, a mountain spring will flow down from the stone crevice at three zhang, forming a thin waterfall.

The mountain is overgrown with tall trees, like a small forest, and the pristine ecology is quite well maintained.

There is also a wall in the inner house, which is the original wall, but it has been changed to a hollow flower wall, and after walking through a round gate, a turquoise lake is suddenly presented in front of them, the lake is about five acres, it is full of lotus flowers, and the waterfall is injected into the lake, on both sides is a long corridor with eaves, and a beautiful small courtyard is located behind the long corridor, which connects the eight small courtyards together.

In fact, Fan Ning showed the drawings to everyone halfway and assigned the yards, Fan Ning's mother Zhang Sanniang and sister Ado, mother-in-law Wang took Zhu Zhe, Jian Meizi and four female guards lived on the left, Fan Ning and his wives and concubines and children lived on the right, and the eight courtyards were semicircular and distributed around the hills and lakes.

The courtyard has already been divided, and there is no need to say anything, everyone went to their own courtyards, the four courtyards on the right, one each for Zhu Pei, Ouyang Qian and Aya, and the other one is Fan Ning's inner study.

While everyone was busy with their little maids, Fanning went into his inner study, which was the smallest courtyard, with only three rooms, and the patio was paved with stone slabs, and there were various clumps of bamboo on both sides.

The mansion is still used in the old dipterocarp furniture, but when he walked into the study, Fan Ning was stunned, his inner study furniture was actually made of ebony, which is a precious wood that is more valuable than rosewood, Fan Ning shook his head, this Lin Junsheng is really good at pleasing people, this set of ebony study five-piece sets, the capital market is not available, even if it can be sold, at least it is more than 10,000 yuan.

..........

The first day was spent in all kinds of busyness, and everyone was tired when they went to sleep, and even dinner was brought out, which was simply solved.

Early the next morning, the crowd began to be busy the next day, and Fan Ning went to the Overseas Economic and Strategic Offices, and this time when he returned to Beijing, the Governor's Hall agreed that the officials of the newly established counties overseas would be transferred from the Overseas Economic and Strategic Offices, and for this reason, the Governor's Hall transferred 14 alternate officials to the Overseas Economic Strategy, bringing the total number of officials in the Economic and Strategic Offices to 57.

In addition to Fan Ning, who is a third-rank official, only the deputy envoy Li Mu is from the fifth rank, the judge Luo Jiang is from the sixth rank, and the others are all low-level officials of the eighth and ninth grades.

Walked into the official room and sat down, the staff member Chen Yu sent a stack of papers, Fan Ning saw that his expression was a little unnatural, secretive, and strange in his heart, and looked at him carefully, only to find that his left cheekbone was actually bruised in a large area.

Chen Yu saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to whisper: "I went out in a hurry in the morning, and I accidentally fell, and my face hit the threshold." ”

"It looks a little swollen, doesn't it matter?"

"I've applied the medicine, and the swelling has gone away a lot, so it's out of the way."

Fanning nodded, and then didn't ask any more, he flipped through the paper and asked, "Is there any news from the Ryukyu Prefecture?" ”

"A few days ago, a courier sent a letter, saying that some Japanese laborers had miasma and fell down more than 100 people, and they were bitten by poisonous snakes and nine people died.

Fan Ning frowned, and said to Chen Yu: "You write a letter for me and tell Zhang Ying that the snake medicine will be sent as soon as possible, but they have to think of a way, you can grind realgar into powder and put it in a small bag, and then sew five or six bags of realgar powder on a pair of pants, and the same is true on your clothes, don't complain to me about anything, you have to find a way to solve it yourself." ”

Chen Wei handed the two letters to Fan Ning, and said: "It seems that the poisonous snake can't stand the smell of realgar, and when it fled in a panic, it fell from the tree, landed on the neck of the laborer, and bit it indiscriminately. ”

"Then give each laborer a big bamboo hat to block the sun and poisonous snakes!"

Fanning immediately replied, requesting that the Jinglu Prefecture immediately purchase 30,000 bamboo hats and send them to the Ryukyu Prefecture.

Chen Yu went down to write a letter for Fan Ning, and at this time, Gongsun Xuance and Zhang Bo walked in, Fan Ning glanced outside the door and asked with a smile: "What's going on on his face?" ”

Zhang Bo couldn't hold back his laughter and said in a low voice: "Last night, he and a few officials went to Butterfly Love Flower Shop to drink prostitutes, and when he came home, he was served by his mother's family law, and today he wanted to ask for leave, but the envoy wanted to come, and he had no choice but to limp over." ”

Fanning smiled dumbly, "What kind of family law, so powerful?" ”

"I heard that people said that they were beaten with sticks, but they generally don't slap their faces, and this time maybe his wife missed."

Fan Ning shook his head, the roar of the Hedong lion is really powerful, but this Chen Jichang also deserves it, obviously the lady is at home, and she still runs to drink and prostitute, isn't this looking for death?

Fan Ning no longer mentioned this matter, and said to the two of them: "The Governor's Hall finally approved the establishment of five counties in the Ryukyu Prefecture, in addition to Ryukyu County, Liuzhong County and Liunan County, and then build Kinmen County in the north, and another Quandong County in the south, plus Liuli County and Penghu County, the Ryukyu Prefecture has a total of seven counties, in addition to Penghu County and Ryukyu County have already been built, there are five new counties to be built, I am ready to select fifteen officials from the Ryukyu Prefecture, and the two of you are responsible for guiding them on how to prepare for the establishment of new counties, so I will hand them over to them with the experience of Kunzhou." ”

We know, the two of us bowed.

At this time, Chen Yu walked in and handed the written reply letter to Fan Ning, who read it, signed his name, handed it to him, and said to him: "You find me the detailed resume of the officials of Jingluo Mansion, I need it now!" ”
