Fei's family slaves ran to tell each other, whether it was a maid or a little girl, they all put down their work and ran to wait.

They had heard the wind for a long time, but they had never dared to believe it.

The house slaves in the third Fei Yingke courtyard have the most difficult life, and the master mother is often beaten and scolded. As long as they can survive from here, they will never stay any longer, and no matter how much they are paid in the future, they will not stay!

But at this moment, Fei Yingke said to the house slaves: "Your monthly money is all deducted by the fifth master, hurry up and follow me to arrest people!" ”

"There is a grudge to repay the grudge, there is a revenge to take revenge, follow me to arrest someone!" Fei Yingxi also shouted in his inner courtyard.

The two brothers were in such a hurry to separate their families because they were afraid that time would drag on for a long time.

They have a common enemy - the old fifth master!

is Fei Yuanyi's henchman "Lao Wu", born as a scholar, and has followed the old man for decades.

In the past few years, Fei Yinghuan and Lou are not at home, and the second and third are not treated by Fei Yuanyi. As Fei Yuanyi became more and more old and confused, the domestic slave "Lao Wu" was simply arrogant and domineering, and gradually took over many of the Fei family's properties, and he didn't know how much silver he secretly embezzled.

The second and third children are gradually being set aside, which is really a big bully!

The brothers took the house slaves in their respective courtyards and rushed into the old man's Gongbei Garden, and beat the henchmen of the "old five" when they saw him. Not only is the "old five" powerful, but these dog-legged house slaves are also the same, and they usually don't take the brothers very seriously.

"Fifth Master, where are you going?"

Fei Yingke held a stick and looked at the "fifth child" with a sneer.

The fifth child's sons have all become shopkeepers, and now they are not by their side. Seeing that the situation was not good, this guy originally planned to escape, but was blocked by the brothers and led people, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The old slave is confused, the old slave is confused, please spare the two masters!" ”

Fei Yingxi stopped Fei Yingke, who wanted to hit someone, and reminded: "Third brother, don't kill someone." Brother Han posted notices everywhere that lynching was not allowed, and such people were handed over to the government for slow interrogation. With Brother Han in charge, he has to spit out all the silver he is greedy for. The most important thing now is to send people to take over the properties and keep those books from being burned. ”

"Yes, please let the old men of the peasant association call the shots, and you must keep the account books and check them slowly!" Fei Yingke nodded.

The brothers tied up the house slave "Lao Wu" and asked the peasant association to help take over the business.

As for Fei Yuanyi, who was still scolding there, they didn't bother to pay attention to it. An old fool who was deceived by a house slave, he didn't believe in his son, he only believed in outsiders, and it was better to die early!

The old lady was still knocking on the wooden fish in the Buddhist hall, and the disturbances outside had nothing to do with her, and she kept reciting scriptures in her mouth.

Even the mother-in-law who served her to chant Buddha couldn't help but step out of the Buddhist hall and lie down at the gate of the courtyard to listen to what was being said outside. Hearing that the land could be divided, the mother-in-law couldn't help but be overjoyed, she had two sons, and a grandson, all of whom belonged to the house slaves who could divide the land.

The mother-in-law suddenly turned to the Buddha hall and knelt, and said with great piety: "Amitabha, Amitabha, the Bodhisattva blesses Brother Han'er with a long life of 100 years, and blesses the old woman and her family with a good share of the land......"

Jing Xing Yuan.

Fei Cheng (Qin Xin), Fei Ze (Jian Guts), Fei De (Jiu Lu), and several house slaves who used to have a good relationship with Zhao Han all gathered together at this moment to discuss the way out in the future.

"When the fields are divided, I'll go to Brother Han," Feder asked, "which of you would like to go?" ”

Fei Ze said: "Fei Cheng and I are also going, who else are you going?" ”

"I'll go too!" A house slave named Feimon.

"Go together, go together, Brother Han is righteous, and he will still remember the old feelings."

"Yes, I'll go too."

"I'm not going, I'm going to help my wife run a paper trough (paper mill)."

"I heard that Brother Chun has become a big official."

"It's not too late to defect now, we can all write and calculate, and we are no worse than those who are officials."

“……”

Suddenly, an official came over, opened his mouth and asked: "Who are Fei Cheng, Fei Ze, and Fei De?" ”

"I am!" The three of them stood up in unison.

The official took out a letter and said, "This is a letter from the head town!" ”

The three of them took it apart, but it was Zhao Han who asked them not to go to Ji'an Mansion, but to work as a reserve official in Guangxin Mansion to help with errands.

As long as the field division work can be successfully completed, it can be immediately transferred to a full-time official. Among them, those who are excellent in the evaluation will be promoted next summer and transferred to southern Hunan and Guangdong with the army.

Fei Ze immediately clenched his fists: "I must do my best!" ”

"Farewell!" The official left with his fists clenched.

In fact, this is not only the case on the lead mountain, but also on the new land.

The expansion is so rapid that although the officials are barely enough, they will have to develop in other provinces next year, and by that time they will be stretched. It is necessary to take advantage of this division of fields to train more reserve officials, and after becoming regular next year, they will be transferred to Guangdong and southern Hunan together with experienced officials.

This is a kind of routine, absorbing talents in the newly occupied land, and observing their ability and character through the division of fields. A large number of cultivation and regularization, waiting for the next expansion, the old and the new mixed together to be transferred and promoted.

It's like a snowball, rolling faster and bigger the further back, and purging a group of corrupt and derelict people every year.

Not only Qin Xin, Jian Gut, and Jiu Ling, but other house slaves can also sign up, but the three of them will definitely rise faster.

The premise is that the field division work cannot be out of the basket!

……

The news that Zhao Han is Zhao Yan is spreading more and more widely in Lead Mountain.

The servants of the Fei family, who had contact with Zhao Han, were talking about how they were at the beginning, and they had long seen that Brother Han was not an ordinary person.

Even Zhao Han enrolled in Hanzhu Academy and went through the formalities in the library building, and he has become a celebrity in the academy in the past few days.

He is now a teacher, and he doesn't give serious lectures to students, so he walked into the classroom and began to brag: "This Mr. Zhao was also studying in Hanzhu Mountain at the beginning. He came in with a school badge and said he wanted to pick up the books. When the teacher looked up, he was in a trance, and his eyes were full of purple energy, even if he knew that he was not a mortal, he would definitely be rich and noble in the future! Sure enough, after only two or three years, he has been a rich learner. He put forward the theory of qualification, and the Jiangxi superintendent presided over the debate, which made the students of Hanzhushan speechless, that is, the gentlemen in the academy avoided its edge......"

"Sir," asked one of the schoolboys, "isn't this Mr. Zhao a thief?" ”

Master Meng shook his head and said, "No, no." Now the court has no way, the civil and military officials are all mediocre and greedy, and the people of the world have suffered from tyranny for a long time. Mr. Zhao is not a rebel, but a righteous teacher and a rebel! You schoolchildren, do you know how Mr. Zhao reads? Every day I get up early and go to bed late, I can't put my hands on it, and I am reading books when I eat! ”

Even Zhao Han himself didn't know, when did he work so hard?

Mountain chief room.

An official handed the letter to Fei Yuanlu: "Please transfer it to Zheng Rulong." ”

Fei Yuanlu sighed: "Alas, Zheng Rulong has passed away. ”

Zheng Rulong is Zheng Zhongkui, the scripture teacher invited by Fei Yuanlu from Shangrao, and he has a very close personal relationship with Pang Chunlai. This letter was also written by Pang Chunlai, inviting Zheng Zhongkui to go to Ji'an to be an official.

It's a pity that Zheng Zhongkui died half a year ago.

As for Zhu Shunshui, he has long returned to his hometown Yuyao, and is experiencing a famine in Zhejiang this year.

On this side of Lead Mountain, things are not people!

Cai Maode, who tried to accept Zhao Han as a disciple, is now the political envoy of Henan.

The drought in Henan is severe, the rogues are raging, and they have to be apportioned by the imperial court, and many states and counties are empty, and Cai Maode has long not known how to govern it.

He tried to recruit homeless people to return to his hometown to reclaim the land, but every time a homeless person returned, he was either looted by the rogues, or looted by officers and soldiers, and then there was the exploitation of the magistrate.

went back and forth two or three times, Cai Maode gave up completely, and simply hid in the city all day to give lectures, being a foolish official who didn't care about the world.

……

Wei Jianxiong did not go to Ji'an with Fei Yinghuan, but escorted Chen to Jianchang Mansion to reunite with his son.

After they arrived in Yingtan City, they abandoned the ship and took the official road, passed through Dongxiang to Fuzhou, and then took a boat along the Huangshui (Jianchang River) to Jianchang Mansion.

"Mother!"

Fei Yuanjian specially went out of the city to greet him and knelt on the pier to bow.

Chen said with tears in his eyes: "My son has grown up and can do great things." ”

Fei Yuanjian not only grew up, but also became black. When he was the magistrate, he not only often inspected villages and towns, but sometimes led peasant soldiers into the mountains to exterminate bandits.

Almost every county in Jiangxi has mountains, and many thieves have fled into the mountains to become bandits. Therefore, one of the major responsibilities of the magistrate is to exterminate the bandits in the mountains, and with the help of the mountain people, the work of suppressing bandits is relatively smooth.

The mother and son went into the city hand in hand, entered the government and settled down, telling all the way about what they had experienced in the past few years.

Fei Yuanjian called his wife and children again, and the child was almost one year old.

Chen was quite happy, hugged the child and teased, and gave his daughter-in-law a pair of jade bracelets.

It wasn't until Fei Yuanjian's wife took her son to breastfeed, and there were only two mother and son left in the house, and Chen finally couldn't help but speak: "Yuanjian, my mother has something to tell you, don't be angry when you hear it." ”

Fei Yuanjian smiled: "Mother, let's talk about it." ”

Chen said: "The person who sent me to Jianchang this time, you also saw it, is Wei Jianxiong, the chief follower of the Fei family in Goose Lake. ”

"I recognize it, and I'll go and thank you tomorrow." Fei Yuanjian said.

Chen said: "My mother was also a young lady of the eunuch family when she was young, and Wei Jianxiong was actually a slave of my family. After I was sent to the Faculty Division, he searched for several years and came to Lead Mountain. I refused to see him, so he became a domestic slave in Goose Lake. This time he came back and pestered me again, but I didn't promise him anything. ”

Fei Yuanjian was very surprised, he didn't expect this kind of story.

However, Chen is not his biological mother, and even the grace of nurturing is only two or three years. He is now down-looking, and sighed: "If the mother is tempted, you can go to Ji'an Mansion with him to settle down, and the child will not stop you." ”

Fei Yuanjian still wants to save face, he himself started a family in Jianchang Mansion, and he doesn't want the Chen family to remarry someone else here.

Each does not interfere.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if the Chen family is gone, Fei Yuanjian can be completely separated from his former self. He pretended that he had never been to Lead Mountain, and when he was free, he moved his parents' graves to him, and from now on, he would be the ancestor of the Jianchang Fei clan.

Chen wanted to speak and stopped, only to sigh.

Fei Yuanjian said with a smile: "Mother, let's go after the New Year, let the child be a little filial." ”
