Fei Rulan happily came out to greet her: "I greet my fourth uncle and my younger sister."
"Haha, there's no need to be too polite," Fei Yinggong said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Lan'er is now the wife of the chief soldier."
Fei Rulan said: "My wife's chief soldier can't be counted."
"I met Sister Lan." Fei Ruhui said, clasping her fists.
Although they are cousins, they only met once. Mr. Fei does not accept Fei Ruhui.
Seeing her dressed as a woman, Fei Rulan asked, "Is my brother-in-law not here?"
Fei Ruhui replied: "He is busy with things at home."
What are you busy with?
Of course it is to manage the bandit den.
Seeing that Xiyue was the only maid in the courtyard, and Fei Rulan was helping to serve tea and water, Fei Yinggong couldn't help but said, "It's so deserted here, why don't you have more servants?"
Fei Rulan smiled and replied: "My husband has abolished slavery, how can I disobey it? There are six helpers in the courtyard, which is not a lot."
"So that's the case," Fei Yinggong was purely looking for news, and changed the subject to ask, "Is there any news about the elder brother?"
Fei Rulan said: "Father is now the magistrate of Huzhou Prefecture."
Fei Yinggong smiled and said, "It's quick to get promoted."
The family drank tea and chatted until evening, when Zhao Han finally came back, and Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun also came.
When the food was served, Zhao Han raised his glass and said, "I'm toasting to my fourth uncle!"
"It's easy to say." Fei Yinggong laughed heartily.
Fei Ruhe also raised his glass to toast and said, "Fei Chun and I left home and wanted to find my fourth uncle, but unexpectedly, I found brother Han, and made a big deal out of it."
"If you find me, I'm afraid you're still a bandit." Fei Yinggong said with emotion.
Zhao Han just smiled and didn't take the initiative to mention it. He had already guessed what Fei Yinggong was here for.
After pushing and changing cups for a while, Fei Yinggong finally couldn't help it: "Oh, I never thought of rebelling, and suddenly a sweeping king appeared next door. You are on the east side, and the sweeping king is on the west side. It's very uncomfortable for me to be caught in the middle." .¡±
Zhao Han said with a smile: "As long as there is no war, no one will stare at Fourth Uncle's territory."
Fei Yinggong's site is located in the mountains, and it's really meaningless to be poor and poor.
However, it is very important in military affairs. Once Tianhe Town is occupied, Zhao Han can easily defend against the enemies in the west. If Fei Yinggong hadn't been entrenched there, Zhao Han would have sent troops to take it down long ago, because it was originally under the jurisdiction of Luling County.
The Sweeping King is also very interesting. If Zhao Han expands to the north, the Sweeping King's territory will be completely protected by Zhao Han. The officers and soldiers can only attack the King of Sweeping Land if they eliminate Zhao Han, or Huguang sends troops to sweep the King of Land Sweeping.
Seeing that Zhao Han never opened his mouth, Fei Yinggong had no choice but to ask himself: "How about I come to you to do something?"
"Okay, welcome." Zhao Han said with a smile.
"What are your requirements?" Fei Yinggong asked.
Zhao Han made it clear: "First, the fields must be divided. Each person, including the fourth uncle, can reserve a maximum of 20 acres. Of course, the fourth uncle has a lot of mountainous land, so you can reserve a few more acres as appropriate. Second, if the fourth uncle wants to join the army , You must disband your own troops and break up the soldiers who were incorporated into Datong. Third, the fourth uncle can only serve as a sentry officer, temporarily leading more than 90 people, and must not be stationed in Tianhe Town."
Although Fei Yinggong had expected it, he still couldn't help feeling a little resentful.
He came to join Zhao Han with his territory and troops, but Zhao Han wanted to swallow him up.
That's all, it's okay to give him a high-ranking military position, but who knows that he is only allowed to be a sentry officer, and there are not even a hundred soldiers under his command.
Zhao Han explained: "There are only two situations for me to work under my command. One is to start from the middle and lower levels; the other is to create a situation by myself. For example, Gu Jianshan was the commander of the navy because I didn't have a navy under my command. He set up the training by himself. And Tian Younian, who was in charge of the Weapons Institute when he first came, he had to build it. Even Li Banghua was the first to set up the grain bank, and he was promoted only after he made political achievements."
"Okay, I'll be the sentinel." Fei Yinggong reluctantly agreed. He believed that with his own ability and the relationship with the Fei family, he could be promoted after a few battles.
Zhao Han laughed loudly and said, "Welcome fourth uncle to join the group, come, let's all drink this cup to the brim!"
Everyone toasted and drank.
Zhao Han said to Fei Ruhui again: "If my sister wants to work, she can join the mission team. Women can also be officials with me."
"That's a good thing." Fei Ruhui said happily.
After talking again, Fei Rulan suddenly said: "I'm not too young, I've been looking for a year, and I think I've found a suitable family."
?tighten up.
As soon as the General Military Mansion made adjustments, an old man brought the whole family of scholars to visit.
"Old Liu Yingdong, pay my respects to the general town!"
"Old gentleman please get up quickly."
Liu Yingkui pointed to the people behind him and said: "All members of my Liu clan are willing to serve the town. Although there are no juren, there are five scholars, twelve children, and the rest are schoolchildren."
Zhao Han said with a smile: "Let them all come to Bailuzhou Academy. After the spring plowing is over, I will make my own arrangements."
Liu Yingkui also said: "Liu Tongsheng is the nephew of the old man. He ran away with his family and has nothing to do with my house. Please don't worry about it."
"Don't worry, old man, I won't get involved," Zhao Han said.
Liu Yingkui went on to say: "These Liu family scholars can be used by the chief town at will, even as officials. I have already warned them that the chief town has its own rules for employing people. As long as you do things seriously, the chief town will not treat you badly."
Zhao Han said with a smile: "The old man has great wisdom I am not very talented, and I can't write well, so I just write a line with an axe."
"Thank you, Zongzhen, for your words." Liu Yingkui was overjoyed.
Zhao Han casually wrote four words "a family of virtue", it doesn't matter what he writes, he can write "eat meat tonight".
Liu Tongsheng and his family ran away with the money, but Liu Yingkui sent the whole family of scholars to serve, these big families can't cut it across the board.
Mainly because of the case a few days ago, Zhao Han had a showdown to show his attitude.
Liu Yingkui was willing to stand in line and recognized Zhao Han's methods. The tougher Zhao Han behaved, the more convinced he was that the Liu family could benefit from being a dragon.
Of course, there are also many people who hate it deeply. Yesterday, some gentry ran away with their families.
