Yang Fan didn't know about the Guanzhong family's plan because he rushed to the dock early in the morning.
Of course, even if Yang Fan knew about it, he wouldn't pay attention to it.
He is a mediocre person who does not attract jealousy. Who makes him the most handsome boy in the Tang Dynasty?
What's more, no matter what the plan is, it will only fall apart in the face of absolute strength.
The seven-day period agreed with Ming Changfeng has arrived, and Yang Fan feels that talents are more important.
So, early in the morning, I dragged the little heroine Yue Luo to the dock to wait.
In fact, Yue Luo really didn't want to be with Yang Fan.
In her heart, staying with Yang Fan, a monster, was a bit stressful.
Ever since Yang Fan spent a day cultivating "Qi", Yue Luo has been hit hard.
Therefore, after she returned from assassinating those Jiangnan nobles, she almost stayed alone in the yard and practiced hard.
Yue Luo is usually very active, how could she endure such loneliness, so when Yang Fan asked her to come with her, she agreed half-heartedly.
And Yang Fan's wives are about to give birth, so of course they won't go together.
Although Yue Luo has a bit of a temper and always loses his temper like a child, who wants others to have a good grandpa and himself has good martial arts!
People with ability will always receive special treatment.
So, after washing up, Yang Fan led a group of people to the pier without stopping.
Standing side by side with Yue Luo on the pier, Yang Fan felt a little more expectant as he watched the large ship arriving on the river.
The seven-day appointment has arrived, and Ming Changfeng should not miss it.
Now, the construction of various projects in Huating County has been fully launched.
Salt factories, iron factories, paper factories, cement factories and other workshops began to be built one after another and started production one after another.
Nowadays, the stalls in Huating County are getting bigger and bigger, and talents are becoming increasingly scarce.
Especially professional and technical talents are extremely scarce.
People like Ming Changfeng have a complete knowledge inheritance of "Momen", and they are obviously excellent craftsmen.
Nowadays, Huating County is full of industries waiting to be prospered, and Yang Fan certainly has to show respect.
More importantly, Yang Fan wanted to erect the landmark building on the Huangpu River in Huating County more than 1,000 years in advance and make it a benchmark for the world.
Except for people like the old man, Yang Fan really couldn't think of anyone who dared to build a few hundred meters high building in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago.
What's more, as more and more people flow into Huating County, how to rationally plan housing, education and other issues in Huating County has become a long-standing problem.
In a word, although there are many people coming to Huating County, there are too few literate people in this era.
Almost 99% of people can't even write their own names. In addition to contributing, they need someone to take care of them.
Otherwise, if you can’t even understand the planning drawings and process requirements, how can you talk about building Huating County?
Therefore, talents are particularly important.
Especially for professional talents in construction, Yang Fan is even more urgent.
Perhaps in the eyes of the ancients, architectural talents were heretical and far inferior to literati who studied Confucianism.
But Yang Fan knows very well that the progress of a society and the richness of material civilization are inseparable from these heresy.
Even professional craftsmen such as physics and chemistry play a decisive role in promoting social progress.
Although there are schools in Huating County, talents cannot be cultivated overnight.
Therefore, these tribesmen of Yueluo are particularly important.
As the big ship slowly approached the dock, Ming Chang Peak stood proudly on the bow, waving to Yue Luo from a distance.
Yue Luo, who had been depressed during this period, was already jumping up and down on the dock with joy, shouting for the tribe to come.
Yang Fan twitched the corner of his mouth. Although this girl looked innocent, she was merciless in killing people some time ago. It would be better not to mess with the little girl in the future.
As the ship docked at the dock, Ming Changfeng was the first to step off the ship, followed closely by dozens or hundreds of people.
Among them, the two people immediately behind him were the most conspicuous.
One of these two people is a young man with a beautiful face. He is dressed in clean and refreshing blue clothes, and has an air of elegance in his face.
This person's temperament and demeanor are the best choice.
Even among the children of aristocratic families, it is rare to see someone with such a leisurely spirit.
Especially that handsome face, only Wu Wang Li Ke, who was famous for his grace and appearance, could compete with him. It was really the only one Yang Fan had seen in his life.
Yang Fan was a little depressed.
Why did the Tang Dynasty have so many beautiful men, such as Shangguan Yi, Li Ke, and that beautiful monk?
Yang Fan could only comfort himself.
We base ourselves on our talents and abilities, not on these superficial things.
Thinking like this made Yang Fan feel a lot better.
As for the other person wearing a white veil, although his face cannot be seen clearly.
However, it can be seen from the graceful figure of this person that he should be a woman.
I thought that Yue Luo became a nymphomaniac after seeing a beautiful man.
Little did they know that this little girl's light figure had already thrown herself into the arms of the man wearing the veil.
Yang Fan only thought that the other party was a relative of little girl Yue Luo, so Yang Fan didn't pay any attention to it.
Instead, he waved to the officials behind him, and all the officials stepped forward to greet him to show respect.
"Mr. Ming, I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I have finally waited for you. You are welcome!"
After saying that, he greeted him with a smile, and at the same time wanted to go forward and hold his hand to show his closeness.
Unexpectedly, Ming Changfeng didn't buy it. Instead, he said displeasedly: "Humph, I'm not old enough to need support. If you use your hypocritical tricks on others, I can't afford it."
Yang Fan was not embarrassed. He chuckled and said, "Your martial arts skills are unparalleled. You can also fly into the sky and escape from the earth. You are very tough. Of course you don't need help from me."
"Ahem, this junior just wants to show the joy in his heart and at the same time make you and the clan feel like you are home."
"Now you don't even give this opportunity to this junior. It's really embarrassing for me."
Ming Changfeng sneered: "Are you going to be embarrassed? In my opinion, there will never be anyone thicker-skinned than you in the entire Tang Dynasty."
It turned out that Ming Changfeng heard that Yang Fan actually used all his skills to cooperate and share.
And for the sake of a steel-making skill, he brought in all his clan members.
Ming Changfeng knew that he had been deceived by this boy, so he was a little aggrieved.
Yang Fan seemed unknown, pretending to be aggrieved, and said sadly: "Mr. Ming said this to me, doesn't it make me sad?"
"Although the juniors have resorted to some tricks, they are just for the sake of a better life for the people. Is this wrong?"
"If this is wrong, then you might as well slap this junior to death!"
"Besides, this will also give your people a place to live and work in peace and contentment, so that their knowledge can be put to use."
Seeing Yang Fan being so good despite being so cheap, Ming Changfeng was extremely speechless for a moment.
I really didn’t expect that Yang Fan, as a high-ranking official in a border area, would be so shameless.
Facing such a person, what could Ming Changfeng do? He could only say helplessly: "Humph, I have brought some of the clan members here as agreed, you can figure it out yourself!"
After saying that, he turned to wave to the two young men who were chatting and laughing with Yue Luo, and then introduced: "This is my grandson Ming Jin, who will be responsible for the management of the clan from now on... The other one is my apprentice... …”
Yang Fan felt a little different when he heard the name of the handsome young man.
Minjin?
This name is too tacky!
The fresh and refined temperament of a young man like you is totally inconsistent with that.
Ming Changfeng obviously didn't want to introduce the people who wore veils and just introduced them.
Yang Fan was not a gossip, so he naturally had no desire to investigate. He just kept saying with a smile on his face: "It is my honor to have you come to Huating County. I welcome you."
With a breathtaking smile on his face, the young man clasped his fists and said politely: "I'm sorry for you, the Governor. You can take us in. Ming Jin is very grateful."
"By the way, my sister-in-law is naughty. It is said that she once offended the Governor. However, she is young and ignorant. I hope the Governor will not take offense and take good care of her in the future."
Hearing this, Mingluo pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, how could you say that to me in front of outsiders? The last time I assassinated him, it was because someone else deceived me, okay?"
"Besides, I have helped him a lot during this time. If you don't believe me, just ask him!"
After saying that, he stretched out a slender jade finger and pointed at Yang Fan.
Just when no one was paying attention, Mingluo waved his pink fist at Yang Fan, warning Yang Fan not to talk nonsense.
Obviously, the little girl Yue Luo is very afraid of this young man.
For some reason, Yang Fan couldn't bear this scene, so he coughed dryly, looked at the young man and said, "Brother Ming, are you a little harsh on your roommate? Luo'er is still young after all, and he was deceived into making some small mistakes.
It’s excusable, and besides, I wasn’t hurt at all…”
Unexpectedly, Ming Jin didn't buy it. Instead, he bowed with a solemn face and said: "The Governor is very tolerant, and I admire you. However, a mistake is a mistake. It has nothing to do with age, and it is not a reason to shirk responsibility."
Yang Fan's face suddenly changed, and he actually bowed deeply to the young man and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ming understands righteousness so well, I have learned from him."
Indeed, Yang Fan really didn't expect Ming's tutor to be so strict.
After hearing Yang Fan's words, Ming Jin's face lightened up a little.
However, there was an air of calmness and authority between his brows, and he turned to Yue Luo Dandan and said: "Luo'er, although you are young, as a descendant of the Ming family, you should uphold your integrity and punish you for copying etiquette.
Remember it once, is it acceptable?"
"oh!"
Unexpectedly, Mingluo not only did not dare to refute this kind of punishment, but instead responded obediently and stood beside the veiled woman.
After the punishment, Ming Jin changed his face again, looked at the little girl and asked with a doting look on his face: "Grand Governor, this girl usually doesn't have any rules. I'm afraid she will bring you a lot of trouble, right?"
Min Luo's straight nose wrinkled and he winked at Yang Fan.
It means that if you dare to say bad things about me, I want you to look good!
Seeing this, Yang Fan smiled and said: "Miss Luo'er is very smart and has solved many problems for me..."
Yang Fan was not talking nonsense about this.
No matter what, this little girl not only taught her martial arts.
Moreover, he shocked the Jiangnan gentry, so he had merit even without hard work!
The group of people exchanged pleasantries while walking towards Huating County.
Ming Jin came to Huating County for the first time. He walked along the long cement-paved street along the river and looked at the surroundings with great interest.
At noon, Yang Fan hosted a banquet for Ming Changfeng and his party at the Governor's Mansion, which could be regarded as a formal invitation to this group of people to join his construction team.
After three rounds of drinking, Yang Fan looked at Ming Changfeng who still looked depressed. Yang Fan said with an expression of "I am thinking about you":
"Ming Lao, now all the industries in Jiangnan are waiting for prosperity. Your people will never insult his talents when they come here."
"But I always feel sorry for myself. What do you think about it, if the younger generation, using your orthodox status as Old Mo Sect, can declare your righteousness to the outside world and your book's name will be passed down to future generations?"
Ming Changfeng is an old man. How could he not see the purpose of Yang Fan's actions? He immediately sneered: "You are really becoming more and more hypocritical. Do you want to make our Ming family famous for future generations? I think you want to use my name as Ming family."
Let’s recruit those Momen craftsmen who dare not show their faces, right?”
Ming Changfeng is almost like a goblin. How could he not know what Yang Fan is thinking?
Yang Fan smiled coquettishly: "Look at what you said, why is it so ugly? This junior just released the news of Ming's re-emergence because he wanted to recruit more talents and benefit the people."
Ming Changfeng's eyes bulged, and his beard trembled with anger!
He said it as if if Ming Changfeng refused to let him use Ming's signature, he would be a sinner in the world.
Ming Changfeng was so angry that he really wanted to slap this bastard to death.
This guy is so shameless!
Looking at his grandfather who turned blue with anger, Ming Jin looked a little surprised.
In his heart, his grandfather was omnipotent. He never expected that Yang Fan would be so angry that he was speechless.
As a result, Ming Jin is full of expectations for his life after coming to Huating County.
After having had enough wine and food, Ming Changfeng's tribesmen were taken down to rest.
In fact, Yang Fan had already arranged a place for the Ming family to stay, just over Nanshan in Huating County.
It is far away from the city, with green trees on the mountains, beautiful scenery, gurgling streams at the foot of the mountains, quiet and elegant.
For people like the Ming clan who have been reclusive for a long time, it is the best place to stay.
Ming Changfeng was very satisfied with Yang Fan's arrangement.
For the Ming family, becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao is their supreme pursuit.
The pleasures of the human world have long been put aside. He just wants to find a peaceful residence in Yang Fan, so that they can calm down and carefully understand the way of heaven.
Ming Jin obviously understood Yang Fan's painstaking efforts, so he raised his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, the Governor, for your thoughtful consideration and finding such a quiet and elegant residence for our Ming family."
"Especially facing the river, you will definitely be happy watching the roaring fish, dragons and wind. Moreover, this environment is not too different from the original life on overseas islands. You are really attentive."
"It's just that my people have been away from the secular world for a long time. They may be a little rude in etiquette, and some details of life and behavior style may be different. Please understand me in the future, Grand Governor."
In the future, they will live under the jurisdiction of others, so Ming Jin naturally does not want his tribe to be attacked by others because of their living habits.
Yang Fan naturally agreed to such a simple request.
