276 [Going Home] (For the dual alliance leader Hello Mr. Fu
Zhao Han chatted with Zhang Jiayu about Chen Zizhuang, and his words contained solicitation.
Zhang Jiayu suddenly said: "Mr. Qiu Tao has a younger brother named Chen Zisheng. He might be able to recruit him first."
"How talented is his younger brother?" Zhao Han asked.
Zhang Jiayu replied: "He is good at playing the piano and is good at poetry. His piano skills are excellent, and there is no one better than him in Lingnan. He also composed many piano music of his own, all of which have lingering sounds."
Turns out he was a musician.
Zhang Jiayu also said: "Chen Zisheng has a close friend named Kuang Lu. This person is extremely talented in poetry, calligraphy, music, epigraphy, art of war, archery, riding and shooting... he knows everything. He also went to Macau to learn Western skills.
Yi’s fire blunderbuss and fencing skills.”
"How come I haven't heard of this person?" Zhao Han asked.
Zhang Jiayu said: "Kuang Lu is a bohemian, disdainful of etiquette, and is currently taking refuge in Guangxi."
"Why did you flee to Guangxi?" Zhao Han asked.
Zhang Jiayu said: "Four years ago, Kuang Lu rode a drunken horse and visited the lantern night market. Huang Xi, the magistrate of Nanhai County, happened to be out of the government office to admire the lanterns. Kuang Lu did not avoid the honor guard, and even wrote a poem on the spot to satirize: 'Ride a donkey and hit by mistake.
"Huayin Order, if you lose your horse, you will still be riding the old man." Huang Xi, the county magistrate, was jealous of this and made things difficult for the Kuang family in every possible way. Kuang Lu left his hometown to avoid trouble to this day."
"Haha, he is really the county magistrate who destroyed his family," Zhao Han said with a smile, "What other interesting stories does this person have?"
Zhang Jiayu said: "Kuang Lu was able to write poems at the age of five and took the Taoist examination at the age of fifteen. He answered the question paper in five fonts: Zhen, Xing, Cao, Zhuan and Li. He was called to question on the spot by the inspector. The Guangdong inspector was furious and judged his answer paper to be the best.
At the end of the wait, Kuang Lu laughed wildly and walked away."
Zhao Han shook his head and laughed: "What a crazy student. He dared to offend the disciple at the age of fifteen."
In fact, Kuang Lu's deeds in Guangdong were just the beginning.
After he was retaliated by the county magistrate, instead of leaving his hometown to avoid trouble, he traveled all over China. Beizhi, Nanzhi, Shandong, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, Guangxi... half of China was visited by Kuang Lu, along the way
Record the mountains and landforms, national customs, rare birds and animals, and interesting anecdotes.
At this moment, Kuang Lu was in love with a female chieftain of the Yao ethnic group in Guangxi, and she also served as the female chieftain's secretary.
Such a bohemian and talented man immediately went to Nanjing to offer advice to save the country after the fall of Beijing.
Later, he defended Guangzhou for ten months. The traitors collaborated with the enemy and dedicated the city to the enemy, and the city was destroyed.
Seeing that the defeat was irreversible, Kuang Lu took off her armor, went home and put on a Confucian shirt, hugged the famous "Green Qitai" and laughed wildly on the street.
He collided with the Manchu and Qing cavalry, and the Qing soldiers wanted to kill him. He held the harp and laughed, "What is this? Are you kidding me?" The Qing soldiers also laughed and thought he was a madman.
When Kuang Lu saw that the Qing soldiers did not kill him, he returned home again and kept his life collection beside him. He played the piano and sang loudly, and died on a hunger strike while holding the piano.
His eldest son, Kuang Hong, led more than a thousand rebels and died in a fierce battle with Qing troops in the eastern suburbs of Guangzhou.
Zhang Jiayu said: "This man has great ambitions, but he became dissolute only because of the corruption of the world. The administration of the main town is clear and clear. If Kuang Lu returns to his hometown, he is likely to be willing to serve."
"If this person returns to his hometown, he will be sent to the General Military Mansion to serve him. Chen Zisheng will also recruit him to Ji'an to serve him." Zhao Han nodded.
Officials from Jiangxi now account for more than 90% of the officials in the three provinces.
This is not a good phenomenon. We must speed up the promotion of officials from Hunan and Guangdong. But Zhao Han could not destroy the promotion system, so he went to Guangzhou this time to recruit Guangdong scholars like Zhang Jiayu and brought them back to the General Military Mansion as secretaries.
There were also several scholars in Hunan who were recruited by Zhao Han to be secretaries due to their outstanding performance.
Firstly, these secretaries can be used to handle Hunan and Guangdong affairs more accurately. Secondly, in the future, they can also be sent out to increase the number of middle- and high-level officials in the two provinces.
This Kuang Lu was booked by Zhao Han.
In fact, Kuang Lu was already on his way back to his hometown at this time. He had been away from home for four years and missed his wife and children. It was the female chieftain who was pestering him and was reluctant to let him go, so she stayed for another month.
…
After Pan Qimei finished washing, she was led to the bedroom by the maid, but Zhao Han returned to the room without seeing her for a long time.
She waited and waited, and being tired from the journey, she fell asleep on the bed before she knew it.
"Eaaah!"
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the door opening woke Pan Qimei from her sleep.
She quickly sat up and wiped the drool from her mouth.
Zhao Han took off his coat, threw it away, and said with a smile: "You don't even change your clothes when you take a shower."
Pan Qimei changed into a set of close-fitting clothes, but she still wore her wedding attire, which the newlyweds had to take off together.
Zhao Han came over and was very interested in her hair accessories. He took them off one by one. Especially the bells, which sounded crisp and sweet when walking, giving them a unique ethnic flavor.
After taking off her headband and jewelry, Zhao Han helped her take off her leggings and kneepads.
This is even more interesting. It is obviously a practical tool, but it has become part of the wedding attire.
Pan Qimei became more and more nervous until Zhao Han took off her shirt. She was so embarrassed that she quickly closed her eyes and her breathing became rapid.
so big!
With the coat unbuttoned, it is more intuitive.
Pan Qimei opened her eyes and peeked, only to see Zhao Han staring at her. She quickly blushed and got into bed, turning her back to the man and pretending to sleep.
It felt like Zhao Han was also talking about it and put his arm around her waist. Pan Qimei's whole body felt hot and half of her body felt soft.
Zhao Han always has a sense of evil. He is very tall, but Pan Qimei is only 1.5 meters tall. With a childlike round face, he looks like he is holding a little girl.
More than two months had passed since he left Ji'an and went south. Zhao Han was really depressed. He was also a very energetic man.
The next morning.
Zhao Han yawned and woke up. His biological clock was always on time.
He wanted to move, but his body was entangled. Pan Qimei hugged him like a doll.
Zhao Han moved the little girl's arm away, and Pan Qimei woke up immediately, smiled and said something in Yao language that she didn't understand.
"You should sleep a little longer. We will leave the city and board the ship after a while." Zhao Han said.
However, Pan Qimei rushed forward and wanted to kiss Zhao Han. During the second half of last night, this girl was very crazy.
As expected, he often does farm work, has full physical strength and excellent endurance.
For the first time, Zhao Han got up late, until his bodyguard came knocking on the door.
Pan Qimei quickly helped him get dressed, and they went out holding hands. The little girl's face was rosy, but it was a little inconvenient to walk.
Take a boat along the Zhenshui River, get off the boat after passing Nanxiong Mansion, and then cross the Yuling Mountains along the Meiling Ancient Road.
Pan Qimei's health has long since recovered. She thought it was too troublesome to ride a donkey over the mountain, so she decided to walk on the mountain trail by herself. Good guy, she can walk on all kinds of steep mountain roads with leggings on.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Han decided that the next time he expanded his army, he would recruit mountain people as soldiers and form a special mountain combat force.
Entering Jiangxi, we took a boat all the way back to Ji'an. It was already early winter when we arrived at the General Military Mansion.
Pan Qimei was shocked by the prosperity of Ji'an Pier before she even got off the ship. She had already been shocked twice in Ganzhou and Nanxiong.
"Headquarters is back!"
"Zongzhen, come and try my roast chicken."
"..."
Passing by the pier, the people took the initiative and retreated to the street to say hello to Zhao Han.
Zhao Han kept smiling and waving, and these people smiled even more happily, just like old friends reunited after a long absence.
Of course, many passers-by also cast their eyes on Pan Qimei.
Pan Qimei felt that everything was very novel. Looking at the various clothes and goods, it seemed like another world.
Ji'an Fucheng is extremely prosperous now.
The reason is that Zhao Han ruled for the longest time. Not only has the place been stable for several years, but the people are getting richer and richer day by day. Even the migrant workers in the city can now have a drink every now and then.
As people's disposable income increases, consumption will naturally increase. In addition, Ji'an Fucheng is located at the heart of a commercial waterway, and the prosperity of its streets is even greater than that of Nanchang, Jiujiang and other cities.
The most obvious one is the clothes!
The style doesn't change much, but the colors are more varied.
In the past, urban civilians mostly wore indigo fabrics, the same color as the Datong military flag. Nowadays, tie-dye and batik fabrics appear in large numbers, and indigo clothes have various patterns on them.
In addition, red, emerald blue, sapphire blue, dark green and other colors also appear sporadically on civilians, but they are all exclusive to the rich.
Judging from the civilian clothes, Ji'an Fucheng used to look a little lifeless, but now it is becoming more and more vivid.
Zhao Han likes this kind of vividness and freshness.
If it continues to develop, I am afraid that the style of clothes will improve and gradually become more fashionable and beautiful.
Zheng Sen, Zhang Jiayu and others followed Zhao Han back, and their feelings at this moment were even more shocking than Pan Qimei's.
First, the people of Ji'an Prefecture have a very good relationship with Zhao Han. There is no fear, only love, the kind of support that comes from the heart.
Secondly, there are no beggars or extremely poor people here.
"This is a time of great governance!" Zheng Sen sighed with emotion.
Zhang Jiayu nodded with his sword: "That's true."
Hu Mengtai smiled and said: "The whole of Jiangxi is slowly changing like this, and Guangdong will do the same in a few years."
These attendants dispersed.
Zhao Han took Pan Qimei and went straight to the inner chamber of the General Military Mansion.
Fei Rulan spent half the day working as a teacher at a girls' school, and the rest stayed at home to take care of various affairs. She had received the news of Zhao Han's return, and stood at the gate of the courtyard with her children and servants to greet him.
"Husband!"
Fei Rulan's face was full of joy, and then she saw Pan Qimei next to Zhao Han.
Zhao Han took out a silver hairpin from his arms and said, "I saw the ones in Guangzhou and they were of good style, so I bought a few back. My sister and Rumei also have them."
"So beautiful," Fei Rulan held the silver hairpin and said with a smile, "This must be my sister."
Zhao Han introduced: "Panyao, Pan Qimei, she doesn't speak Chinese very well."
On the way, Pan Qimei learned some more and still remembered the etiquette taught by her husband. She bowed and saluted: "Hail, sister!"
Fei Rulan showed no jealousy at all. She took Pan Qimei's hand and said, "Quickly go in and talk."
Both boys and girls have a fast metabolism.
Since she stood out in the beauty pageant, Pan Qimei hasn't done any rough work for a long time, and the calluses on her hands are gradually disappearing. Fei Rulan doesn't feel anything strange when she holds her hand.
Zhao Han picked up Gun'er and walked to the courtyard: "Little sister, are you studying today?"
"I went to the Mathematical Society during the holiday. There seems to be some kind of math party today," Fei Rulan said.
Zhao Han smiled and said, "As long as she has something to do."
Fei Rulan said: "Will my sister live here, or will she tidy up the yard again?"
"Let's live here first. She doesn't understand the language. She needs to learn Chinese first before speaking." Zhao Han put down the gun and hugged Fei Rulan from behind. "Do you miss me, madam?"
Fei Rulan felt sweet in her heart and said with a blush, "Let go quickly, my sister and the servants are all here."
"Don't be afraid, let them watch." Zhao Han was annoyed for a while, but he was actually afraid that Fei Rulan would be jealous.
Pan Qimei smiled, then looked around the yard and felt that a row of chicken coops could be placed in the corner of the yard, otherwise it would be a waste of space.
