I

Zhao Han sat down, poured tea by himself and said, "Before the harvest of summer crops, money and crops are relatively tight, and I don't bother to buy wine. Today, old friends are reunited, and I will replace wine with tea. Let me offer you a cup first!"

"Good talk!"

Fei Ruhe and Fei Yuanjian toasted at the same time.

Fei Yuanjian seemed to have come out of the shadows and became much more cheerful now.Liu Ziren was more reserved, but Xu Ying was still reserved.

Fei Yuanjian took the lead and said: "Mr. Pang explained the truth. We are newcomers, so we can't break the rules here. I don't know how to fight, I don't know how to farm, and I don't know how to teach. Brother Han, You can arrange a job for me. By the way, I have a letter now, I am a master of letters."

Zhao Han thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Brother Daqi, how about following Mr. Pang to handle some paperwork?"

"Just do what you have to do. I'm too busy," Fei Yuanjian sighed, "You don't know, since you left with Ruhe, I have no one to talk to, so I can only study in the academy. I They all worked so hard, hey, I still didn’t get into the scholar exam, but Xu Ying got the talent first.”

Xu Ying cupped her hands and said, "It's a fluke."

Zhao Han couldn't help asking: "Has Governor Cai ever left?"

Xu Ying replied: "I was transferred last year, and the new school inspector's surname is Hou, and it is taboo Dongzeng."

Jiangxi Tixueqian Hou Dongzeng was also a righteous man who resisted the Qing Dynasty in history, leading the common people to hold on to Jiading City.

After the city was broken, his two sons were hacked dozens of times to death.Hou Tong once took his other two sons, worshiped in the direction of the ancestral hall, and then threw himself into the water.The three father and son were picked up. Hou Tongzeng was already dead, and the two sons were still alive, and they were hacked to death by the Qing army.

Because Hou Tong once led the people to resist fiercely, after the Qing army broke through the city, they immediately ordered the massacre of the city.

It is the first of the three massacres in Jiading!

"How is this official's voice?" Zhao Han asked.

"It's hard to say." Since Xu Ying was admitted as a scholar, Hou Tongzeng was his teacher, so he must be respected.

Fei Yuanjian didn't care, and went straight to the point: "This Inspector Hou is not as clean as Inspector Cai, but overall he is passable."

With such an evaluation, it can be understood that a petty greedy person who does things seriously was already invaluable in the officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty.

Fei Chun suddenly said: "General Town, I made some inquiries on the way. The new governor Li Maofang has arrived, and together with Wang Siren, the Jiangzhou military preparation officer, we will wipe out the water bandits in Poyang Lake. I heard that they have more than 30 large and small warships. boat, and beat the water bandits in Poyang Lake to flee here and there.”

"These two are amazing!" Zhao Han couldn't help admiring.

When Xie Xuelong was defeated and committed suicide, Wang Siren had just rushed to Jiujiang to be an official.It was only three months since Li Maofang came to Jiangxi.

In less than half a year, the two had actually formed a water army, and they were able to hang and beat the water bandits in Poyang Lake.

But well, we can still fight, no matter how powerful the government is, they must first fight the Duchang rebels.

It is too close to Nanchang, and it threatens Jingdezhen, and the rebels may attack Hukou.If Zhao Han's threat level is 100, the threat level of the Duchang rebels is 1000.

I only hope that the Duchang rebels can last for a few more months!

Old friends from the past chatted for a while, and Liu Ziren suddenly said, "Zhuochen, I want to join the mission team."

"Why do you think so?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

Liu Ziren said: "I think the mission group is very good, and the great unity of the world is also very good. A good court is a court where the people can eat enough. Now let alone ordinary people, even I, a scholar, have long been hungry. gone."

Zhao Han said: "Then you should follow Chen Maosheng to do things first, watch and learn more. After you learn it, go to the villages and towns to be a missionary officer. As long as you do well, you will be promoted quickly."

The arrangements for Fei Yuanjian and Liu Ziren started from the grassroots.

But there is an old friend relationship, and the promotion speed of the two must be several times faster than others.

Zhao Han didn't arrange for Xu Ying to do anything, and Xu Ying didn't ask more questions. He just chatted with everyone, drank tea and watched the moon.

It wasn't until after the show that Zhao Han said to Xu Ying alone: ​​"There is an inn in Yongyang Town. The owner surrendered too quickly, so I don't want to seize the property. You go there to be the second shopkeeper and familiarize yourself with the operation of restaurants and inns."

"Okay!" Xu Ying cupped her hands.

Zhao Han handed Xu Ying another set of "Anthology of Tang Poetry", and said, "I have a set of 'character verification' methods, you can take it back and get familiar with it slowly. Don't disclose it to anyone, not even your family."

"I see." Xu Ying put the book away.

China's military confidential communications appeared as early as the Warring States Period, and they were called "Yinfu" and "Yinshu" at that time.Yin Talisman uses the length of the talisman to correspond to various information; Yin Shu cuts the content of the letter into several paragraphs and sends them out by different messengers. Only by combining them can the complete information be obtained.

Later, anti-cutting method, character analysis method, and implicit grammar appeared, which have higher requirements for users.

Until the Song Dynasty, there was finally a military code-ziyan!

What Zhao Han gave to Xu Ying was an upgraded version of the word verification method, which was commonly used in spy war dramas of the Republic of China.

It was already three o'clock when we went back, Fei Rulan was still lighting the lamp and reading a book, Xiyue was dozing off on the table.

"Aren't you asleep yet?" Zhao Han laughed.

Fei Rulan said with a smile: "This book is interesting, read it for a while."

Xiyue woke up with a start, stood up abruptly, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and went to fetch Zhao Han bath water.

Fei Rulan suddenly asked: "Is there a suitable family in this area, Ruhe should get married too."

Zhao Han said, "I'll ask someone to ask about it another day."

Fei Rulan sighed and said: "Originally, I have a good cousin. My mother wanted to send someone to propose marriage last year. But Ruhe ran away from home, and the matter has been delayed. You should have a family if you do big things."

Zhao Han didn't speak, just looked at Fei Rulan and smiled.

"Why are you looking at me?" Fei Rulan was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Han said: "It's been very busy for a while, and it's the busy farming season after the busy time. After the summer grain is harvested, we will be free. Then we will worship and get married."

Fei Rulan was too ashamed to look directly at Zhao Han. The relationship between the two seemed to be clear, but somewhat unclear.So, Fei Rulan brought up her younger brother's marriage, trying to make insinuations, but Zhao Han dismissed it all at once, and even set a time for worship.

The girl under the lamp, Xiafei's cheeks are beautiful and shy.

Zhao Han is a hot-blooded young man, his whole body is hot, and now it is even hotter.

After returning from the bath, she groped directly into Fei Rulan's room, scaring Miss Fei almost to the point of screaming.

"Why did you come in? You haven't visited yet." Fei Rulan was too scared to move.

In the darkness, Zhao Han crawled onto the bed: "I'll hug you for a while, I really miss you."

"You coax me, so you won't miss me." Fei Rulan trembled slightly, fearful and anticipating at the same time.

According to the age of marriage in ancient times, Fei Rulan is at this age, children can play soy sauce, and she usually has all kinds of charming fantasies.

"Don't touch me!"

"I didn't touch it, just hugged it for a while. Are you a little hot? I'll help you undress."

"I'm not hot... oh, I'll take it off by myself, you're clumsy."

"..."

Chapter 127 [A den of thieves?This Taoyuan also! 】

"Boom!"

It's early summer now, and it's finally raining.

Fei Rulan lay on Zhao Han's chest, staring at the heavy rain outside the window.She finally knew what being gluey was like paint, and she always wanted to get tired of being with the person next to her pillow. Xiyue had already yelled twice, but she still didn't want to get up to eat.

"Husband, what are you thinking?" Fei Rulan moved her body, resting her head on Zhao Han's arm.

Zhao Han sighed, "It's raining so badly...it's hard to describe it in words."

Fei Rulan asked curiously: "Isn't there a drought in spring all the time? Isn't it raining?"

Zhao Han explained: "There was a military disaster last year, and a lot of winter wheat was replanted. Now it is flowering and pollinating. When it rains, the production will definitely be reduced. The wheat sown in time will be harvested in a few days. This strong wind and heavy rain will easily cause the mature wheat to fall down. I hope it will not rain for several days in a row, otherwise this year’s summer grain harvest will be at least [-]% to [-]% short.”

"You traitor is really tired. You worry about drought and rain." Fei Rulan sighed.

Zhao Han said helplessly: "In the past, one person was full and the whole family was not hungry. Now there are tens of thousands of people under my command, and I have to take care of their stomachs."

Wheat is also grown in the south, especially in Zhao Han's land, where there are many dry fields, and wheat is the main summer crop.

Seeing Zhao Han lying on the bed restless, Fei Rulan sat up and said, "Get up and eat."

"Just one kiss and get up." Zhao Han suddenly smiled playfully.

"No kiss." Fei Rulan lay down again, turned her back to Zhao Han, and smiled into crescent moons.

Zhao Han rushed over and gnawed on it for a long time, finally got tired of getting up, and went out to eat holding hands.

It rained for three days in a row, and all the water level that fell in the river rose back up, and even reached the shore.

The next few days will be cloudy and rainy.

The rain was not too heavy, but a few seeds were always sprinkled, making Zhao Han's hair fall out of worry.

All the high-level personnel were called, and after a meeting and discussion, Zhao Han issued an order: "The wheat that the villagers returned to their hometowns to replant will definitely fail in a large area this year. Mr. Li, Fei Chun, the grain bank must be prepared. There is no need to repay the borrowed grain temporarily. From June to the autumn grain harvest, all the borrowed grain will be interest-free during these months! The landlord will pay the interest on the stored grain, and we would rather lose some."

"Understood!" Li Banghua and Fei Chun responded immediately.

Zhao Han added: "Maosheng's missionary group, Dashan's (Zuo Xiaoliang) farmers' association, will start to promote the organization immediately after the weather clears. First harvest the wheat that has fallen due to the wind and rain, and get back as much as you can!"

In ancient times, there were no lodging-resistant varieties of wheat. After they matured, they encountered strong winds and heavy rains, and they were likely to fall to the ground in large numbers, resulting in poor harvests.

Zuo Xiaoliang said: "Don't worry, the general town, the peasant association has already taken action. These days, people in various villages and towns have been mobilized to help each other up the fallen wheat. Everyone inserted bamboo poles and made simple fences with strips of strips. Immediately lift up and tie up."

"Well done, I will credit you to the farmers' association!" Zhao Han was very happy.

Ouyang Zheng raised his hand and said, "After the spring plowing, I organized the villagers to dig four reservoirs. The roads over there are not easy to walk, especially the mountain roads. I want to organize the villagers to build roads."

Zhao Han said: "After the busy farming season is over, ask the farmers' association to assist you in doing things."

After talking about agriculture and infrastructure, Xiao Huan suddenly said, "According to reports from the spies who stayed in the prefecture, the prefects of Ji'an and Luling counties have arrived in succession a few days ago."

"Who is the prefect of Ji'an?" Zhao Han asked.

Xiao Huan replied: "Yang Zhaosheng, the third-ranked Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, the exact identity of this person is still unknown."

Zhao Han asked Li Banghua, "Does Mr. Li know this person?"

Li Banghua shook his head: "I've never heard of it."

Since I haven't heard of it, it must be a small role, and everyone doesn't care.

Xiao Huan also said: "The new magistrate is called Wang Diaoding. It seems that he was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen. I don't know how he is."

The new governor is a fool.

The new magistrate is a really good official.

Wang Tiaoding used to be the magistrate of Xian County. Instead of being corrupt, he actually donated money to build the city wall.Not only donated his salary, but also donated the money he brought from home.

At that time, the people of Xian County were destitute and bandits were everywhere. It only took Wang Diaoding three years to eliminate the bandits and let the people live.

At this moment, Wang Diaoding is visiting the people.

Since Zhao Han killed all the officials of the county government, Wang Diaoding no longer had to rectify the officials, and he was not afraid of being ostracized by his subordinates.

With a few followers, he toured all the villages and finally came to the bank of Lushui.

"The opposite side is the site where the rebels stole possessions?" Wang Diaoding asked.

A soap official replied: "Exactly."

Wang Tiaoding paced towards the ferry and said as he walked, "Let's cross the river and have a look."

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

"Xianzun, that bandit Zhao kills people without blinking an eye, we may never return!"

"Did the county lord forget that Zhao thief slaughtered all the officials of the prefecture and county last year!"

"..."

The entourage hurriedly caught up, hugged their arms and pulled their thighs, and pulled Wang Tiaoding tightly.

Wang Tiaoding laughed and said: "Zhao thief occupied the city without plundering the market, and returned the city on his own initiative. He will definitely not want to conflict with the government again. As long as I don't recruit troops to suppress the bandits, Zhao thief will definitely not kill the county magistrate without authorization. Gentlemen And let go, follow me to explore the enemy's situation."

The entourage couldn't stop them, so they could only bite the bullet and follow the magistrate across the river.

They belonged to private visits in micro-clothes, and they did not wear official clothes, more like they came to the countryside for an outing.

Wang Tiaoding stepped on the ridge of the field, walked, and suddenly squatted down to check the ears of rice, and said in admiration, "The rice grows really well, and there is no spring drought in the rebel's territory?"

"I don't know." The followers shook their heads.

After walking for a while, I finally saw a farmer carrying firewood.

Wang Tiaoding cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I'm a foreign merchant. The rice here is growing gratifyingly. Haven't you encountered a spring drought?"

The farmer was very proud: "There is a drought, and the peasant association will take the lead. You help me, and I will help you. Mr. Zhao said that as long as there is water in the river, the fields will not be afraid of drought."

"What is the peasant association?" Wang Diaoding asked.
