In the thirty-third year of Sejong, most of the year was spent in a hurry.

From chariots and horses to boats and then to chariots and horses; From plains and mountains to rivers and lakes, and then to hilly basins...... Along the way, I don't know how many caravans were changed.

Some of them only go around in one county; Some of them can pass through two or three counties and pass through the state city.

On the way, I met all kinds of people, and also encountered many dangers, such as strange beasts, bandits, rebels, and black-hearted inns...... But with Fang Rui, a three-grade powerhouse, it is more than enough to protect a few people in the family.

Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, and Nan Nan also fell ill several times, but with Fang Rui's medical skills, they were still pulled back every time.

In short, the bitterness and hardships on the road are unknown.

It can be said: If you change someone's family, you are not as open as Fang Rui, and if you are not as omnipotent as him, I am afraid that if you don't go halfway, you will be wiped out.

In fact, even Fang Rui has never encountered fewer problems along the way.

The three-rank martial artist, with an extraordinary network, needs a lot of energy to supply the body, and often fights, and the consumption rate of medicine is extremely fast. As a last resort, Fang Rui hunted many strange beasts on the way, in exchange for resources, and when he encountered a big family with bad deeds in a small county town, he would sometimes do a vote, so that he could barely support it.

In terms of money, the consumption along the way is even more fluid, but this is the smallest problem.

Because, compared to the high-level resources that martial artists need, there are really too many access channels such as money.

It's really just like Fang Rui thought, in this world, with great power, money is not a rare thing, and it will never be too lacking.

On the road.

Fang Rui's personal experience also verified his previous guess: the three states in the south are indeed full of drought and chaos everywhere - either they are about to riot, or they are in chaos, or they have passed a round of chaos, and they will continue to be chaotic.

Passing through the three states in the south, the scene of natural and man-made disasters and the end of the dynasty gave people a very deep impression.

Until—

After rushing for more than half a year, he completely left the three southern states.

Fang Rui still remembers: When he first arrived in Wunan, the pouring rain poured him cold, which was the first heavy rain he had seen in this life after crossing over.

So, it's really just the three states in the south?!

'I don't read much, don't lie to me!' Isn't it always widespread that a climate as catastrophic as drought can occur? Such as the end of the Han Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty, the super large range covers most of the world. ’

'But what the hell is this big Yu only drought in three states, and then it came to an abrupt end?' God showed off an extreme micro-? Fang Rui fell into deep self-doubt at the beginning.

Thenceforth.

Fang Rui took his family and followed the caravan into Wuzhou, and the deeper he went, the weaker the smell of gunpowder in the troubled times of the three southern states.

Through observation, he only found that the wind and rain in Wuzhou were smooth, and the people of Wuzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it was quiet and peaceful.

What the hell is this comparison, can you believe it?

Even, after Fang Rui inquired, he found that the people of Wuzhou only knew about the situation in the three southern states that the three southern states were in drought and affected by disasters, just like hearing how many people had died abroad during the epidemic, and they didn't have the slightest empathy, at most it was a conversation after tea and dinner.

It's as if the people on both sides of the world do not live in the same country, the same heaven and earth.

This gave him a huge sense of time-space disarray.

……

After entering Wuzhou, Fang Rui had a psychological shadow on the three states in the south, and did not stop in Wunan, but went deep into Wuzhou and entered Wuzhong.

Until I came to Huaiyin Mansion -

Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, and Nan Nan were emaciated and in good health, and they were no longer allowed to migrate long distances, so they settled here.

After settling in Huaiyin Mansion, the Fang family came to a new environment like a nest of ants, and began to carefully and low-key poke out their tentacles.

Time passed like a white horse.

The embankment next to the Huai River is white and white, and another year has passed in a hurry.

……

"Salted fish for a day, and another day of mixed days!"

Inside the house, the coals were burned red, a warm and drowsy, Fang Rui calculated the time, took off the book of travelogues covering his face, and got up to prepare for the next office.

Outside, the three big catchers were gossiping.

"It's another day without a case, and it's so idle!"

"Li Daring, are you so idle? Are you sure it's not because of your mother-in-law? ”

"Phew, eight catties of cow, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, let me see my fist!"

"Li Daring, don't really think that Lao Tzu is afraid of you...... Hey, what are you going to do, Li Daring, you have something to say...... Lao Gou, help! ”

"That's it! Come on! ”

A rosacea, looking forty or fifty years old, an unusually calm middle-aged man sat by the brazier and raised his eyelids: "Niu Bajin, you are also a big catcher, let the people below see what kind of body it is?" Also, bold, isn't this idle? I'm looking forward to being idle all the time, and I've been making a fortune! ”

"Yes, Lao Gou has a point, do more and do less, don't you all take that little money?" Niu Bajin sat aside, took a dossier, and looked at it lazily.

"What old Gou? Call me Lao Xun! The middle-aged man blew his beard and glared.

"Alas, there is no common topic with you group of big catchers who are eating and waiting for death......" Li boldly shook his head.

The three of them were laughing when Fang Rui came out of it.

They immediately stood up and said, "Boss! ”

"Okay, there's no need to be so serious, I didn't see you so respectful when I was temporarily arresting the silver medal before." Fang Rui waved his hand.

"That's different, it's before."

"Yes, old Gou...... No, Lao Xun is right, then didn't he say that the new official took office with three fires? Li boldly touched the back of his head.

"Sit, sit, Chief!" Niu Bajin stammered and moved a chair over flatteringly.

"What the hell? Don't you see that I'm ready to go down? ”

Fang Rui walked straight out: "Okay, you all go back early, rest early, it's a cold day!" ”

"No, boss, it's only been a few days since you turned positive, isn't it good for us to be like this? Look at what other cases there are......" Li said with itchy hands.

Yes, Fang Rui has turned positive a few days ago, and he has become the silver medal of the Shenzhu Division in the southeast district of Huaiyin Mansion, in charge of several nearby streets, and he can be regarded as a 'soil overlord'.

In the city, as in Changshan County at the beginning, the government officials who do not enter the product, the nine products catch fast, the eight products catch the head, the seven products catch the head, and the six products can be the 'silver medal catch', and the god hunting division in charge of the first district is divided.

These standards, the corresponding strength is the basic condition, and other aspects need to be examined, such as: Fang Ruiming's six-grade strength on the face, it took a year to turn into a 'silver medal catch'.

"Not a good fart! We have a southeast district office, but because of the early dismissal, the case detection rate has become lower? Don't talk about it......"

Fang Rui turned around and looked straight at the three of them: "I'll just ask you, who has the final say in this Divine Capture Division in the Southeast Region?" ”

"Of course it's you!" The three big catchers spoke in unison.

"Okay, then listen to me, Xiaya!"

Fang Rui waved his hand and went out directly.

Outside the door.

Woohoohoo!

The cold wind was howling, the air was still drifting with snowflakes, and it was freezing.

He shook his head, thinking about the three big catchers under his command: 'Li Daring, his strength is good, he dares to fight and rush, he is a sharp knife; Xun is not confused, nicknamed 'Lao Gou', steady as an old dog, experienced, practiced, and can do the tasks assigned to him properly every time...... To suck up? ’

Outside, there was already a carriage waiting: "Master, do you want to go back directly, or go to pick up the two young ladies?" ”

"Let's go to Sihailou first."

"Yes, sir!"

Halfway.

Fang Rui got out of the car and was in a familiar roadside stall, ready to buy some donkey meat to take home.

"Yo, Fang Yinzhang is here? It's still the same old thing, right? I'll wrap it for you, and it comes with a side dish. ”

"Thank you." Fang Rui threw over the silver coin.

"Hey, what a ...... are you Polite! I've never seen an official so polite as you. ”

When Fang Rui left, the stall owner raised his chin, pointed at Fang Rui's back with his thumb, and said angrily to the surrounding guests: "See? That old man Fang Yinzhang, but a famous gourmet, likes our donkey meat to be roasted! ”

Squeak!

The carriage continued to move forward, with the sign of the God Catcher Division hanging on it, and generally large households would take the initiative to give way when they encountered it, all the way to Sihailou.

……

Sihai Building.

This is the largest restaurant in the southeast district, the business is booming, ushering in the delivery, and the traffic is like a dragon every day.

A room in the back.

The imposing stewards who managed the restaurants, inns, and caravans outside stood as if they were the master's students, listening to the teachings.

"Two Four Seas Restaurants, with a net profit of 1,836 taels last month; Six inns in the four seas, net profit last month...... Twelve teahouses, net profit last month...... The Four Seas Caravan has also turned a profit, and this is a good start! ”

"Merit should be rewarded, and there should be punishment. The remaining steward of Fung Wah Street rewarded the silver...... The golden steward of the Yunshui Street Teahouse filled his pockets, dismissed, and handed over to the government ......"

After the third lady finished summarizing, in the eyes of the crowd, she continued to speak: "Next, I will talk about the arrangement for next month. In the middle of the next month, the restaurant adjustments will be as follows...... As for the caravan, I still follow the other big caravans with an attitude of learning...... Seeking stability...... It doesn't require you to make much money, it's important to establish a news channel......"

In the face of these elite stewards, she talks eloquently, and has an elite femininity in the workplace.

After everyone disbanded.

Fang Rui entered the door and shouted, "Third sister! ”

"Ah, Brother Rui, when did you come?" The female president, who had just given orders, suddenly became a gentle and confidant big sister, and there was shyness and embarrassment on her pretty face.

As she manages a large mess of things, her majesty is rising, and this side will only be revealed in front of Fang Rui and a very few other people.

Before and after, the comparison of attitudes in the face of others and in front of him made Fang Rui's heart itch, and he couldn't help but hug the third lady in his arms.

"It's been a while, just when the third sister is training. In other words, the third sister was really majestic at that time! He quipped.

"Chirp!"

Two phoenix tails came out of nowhere.

Don't look at them small and exquisite, with a body like a swallow and a tail like a phoenix, they are extremely beautiful, but they are extremely dangerous, and under a sneak attack, they can easily kill a six-rank martial artist.

This is a kind of strange beast obtained on the way at the beginning, with strong combat effectiveness and extremely keen perception of hostility, Fang Rui captured and domesticated it and gave it to the third lady as a bodyguard.

Not only the three ladies, but even Fang Xue's family, Fang Ling, and Nannan have two around them.

"Brother Rui, you are making fun of me again, but it's just to use your face...... Don't, there's someone out there! ”

In order to prevent Fang Rui from moving her hands and feet, the third lady diverted the topic and got down to business: "Brother Rui, didn't you pay attention to the news of the three states in the south?" This is the latest. ”

She handed over Zhang information: "Actually, it's nothing to see, there has been a war over there in the past two years, and it's ...... to fight and fight."

"Nowadays, it is an exaggeration to say that the three states in the south are ten rooms and nine empty, but it is not an exaggeration to say that half of them are gone."

"Really?!"

Fang Rui's expression was solemn, thinking of the old people in Yunzhou Jiang Ping'an, and he couldn't help sighing.

After jumping out of the three states in the south, he was not in this mountain, and he could even notice that something was wrong.

Not to mention anything else, such as Wuzhou, these state capitals have not been affected by the disaster, and there is no shortage of food, but they are continuing to import grain to the three states in the south, otherwise it would be impossible to see-saw for a year or two.

But is this what a normal court should do? It's just out of the ordinary.

"Any other news?" Fang Rui asked again.

"The imperial army has been dispatched! It is not the local official army of Yun, Lin, and Yuezhou, but the central forbidden army, which began to sweep from Linzhou and has recovered the land of Sanfu, this time, it seems to be a real ......"

'Is it time to start the final harvest?!' ’

Fang Rui's eyes lit deeply.

The water is too deep! He never thought that just such a reduction could make Dayu stand for a thousand years.

There's definitely more behind the scenes, secrets that I don't know at the moment. ’

Fang Rui changed his mind and entered the Divine Capture Division, seeking to compile, in addition to sheltering the Fang family, he also had the idea of studying deeply and understanding Da Yu.

After all, if you don't understand this behemoth, how can you dare to wantonly make trouble to obtain a robbery point?

'So, the end of the universe is compilation? He shook his head with some amusement.

"By the way, Brother Rui, the caravan brought back a snow sturgeon, which is a foot long, let's make fish soup tonight, right? Ling'er and Nannan, those two girls, will definitely like it. ”

"It's really good to make fish soup in this weather, I also brought some donkey meat from Zhang Ji shop to burn, let's pick up the two little girls, and go back immediately."

Fang Rui retracted his thoughts, smiled and bowed, and took the third lady's hand and went out.

……

Huaiyin Women's College.

"Brother!"

"Brother Ari! Mother! ”

Compared with the previous two years, the two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, are obviously older and taller.

Surrounded by a group of half-grown women, they pounced like child kings.

Yes, there are women's colleges in this world, but they are basically only available in large places like Fucheng, and the fees are expensive, and only well-off families can afford them.

Of course, although reading and literacy are also taught, they are much more lenient than men's colleges, and the content taught is also very different, including some knowledge of embroidery, manners, etc.

"Tired, aren't you?"

"Is there anything going on at the academy today?"

Fang Rui, the third lady, Fang Ling, and Nan Nan chatted with the two little girls, and returned home amid the sound of the carriage squeaking over the fluffy snow.
