The first meal in Hai'an was made by Zaoli and the archers, and the wine and food were also bought by Zaoli and the archers on the street. They had chicken, duck, fish and meat. Although the dishes they made were not very good for Han Xiufeng, who was used to eating spicy food, Han Xiufeng still borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and expressed his gratitude to them, and said that this was the first and last time.

The filial money was confiscated and the welcome banquet was eaten. Chu Chenggui and Jiang Huai and other soap archers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After lunch, he started to move the bedding into the houses on both sides of the second hall. After moving, he accompanied Pan Er to buy wood, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other things needed for life. Li Xiucai, who had just been hired as a guest, could only move his luggage into the inner house. Since he had been a guest, he had to follow the rules of being a guest. From now on, he could no longer take care of the affairs in the yamen, or even contact the Zaoli archers. He could only stay in the inner house and be a leisurely teacher.

Zhang Shiheng never expected that Hai'an would still study when he came. While Li Xiucai was cleaning up the house, he ran to the lobby and pestered Han Xiufeng and begged: "Uncle Han, I'm really not a good source of study. Don't spend this money on me, okay?"

"Sheng, have you ever wondered why your father left his hometown?" Han Xiufeng asked in a low voice while looking through the list of Zaoli and the bowmen.

"It's all for me." Zhang Shiheng said with a bitter face.

"That's it. If he knew that you didn't study hard, he would be very disappointed." Han Xiufeng put down the list and looked up at him and said, "And studying is for your own good, and he is also helping me."

"Help you?"

"Yes." Han Xiufeng signaled him to get closer and said to him, "Li Xiucai is your husband, so he will not be able to interfere in the affairs of the yamen anymore. From now on, you will follow him in a row, and it is best not to even have to go out for the inner house. If you want to buy something, let Pan Er help you buy what you want to eat, tell Datou what you want to eat, do you understand?"

Zhang Shiheng was a smart boy. He heard Han Xiufeng say this and immediately smiled and said, "I know, Uncle Han, don't worry, I will definitely help you keep an eye on Li Xiucai."

"Did you call Li Xiucai? You should call Mr. Li!" Han Xiufeng's face turned up, staring at him and said seriously and seriously: "Shiheng, the ancients said, 'If you don't work hard at a young age, you will be sad'. It's really for you to study. If you don't work hard now, you will regret it in the future. Besides, is it easy to study? How many people can't even miss him? You are not young anymore, and you can't treat yourself as an ignorant child."

"Uncle Han...I..."

"What are you? You are not your uncle who scares you. From now on, I will take the exams regularly in school. If I don't study hard, if I can't study well, don't blame me for punishing you!" Looking at Zhang Shiheng, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but think of his child who had never met before, and then said, "You are very smart and have a foundation. Uncle believes that you will definitely have a future."

Zhang Shiheng didn't dare to talk back, so he could only go back to the inner house reluctantly.

As soon as he left, Datou ran in from the second hall.

"Fourth brother, those archers are not honest!"

"Why are you not honest?"

"Didn't you let them move in? I moved two of them, and no one else moved!" Datou clenched his fists angrily, waiting for Han Xiufeng to speak to get rid of those dishonest guys.

Han Xiufeng was not angry, but smiled and said, "Big Head, the archers are not considered soldiers, and they will not start archery. They are similar to the young and strong in the squad, and being archers is just corvee. Their families are all nearby. They have to go back to farm during busy farming. When there is nothing to do at night, they naturally have to go home to do some farm work, otherwise they will only have one or eight qian of labor and food and silver a year, so how can they support their family?"

Datou thought about it and asked again: "Where are the ones surnamed Chu and Jiang?"

"They are Zaoli from the Yamen. They can get six taels of silver from the Yamen a year. Their home is not far from here, so the two of them take turns on duty, and only one of them lives in the Yamen at night."

"Do you have to give them money?"

"Don't worry, we don't need to give this money."

"Who do we give it to?"

"Just like my official salary and the integrity of the government is all paid by the state government."

When he mentioned this, Datou couldn't help but smile and asked, "Fourth Brother, how much official salary the imperial court will give you, how much integrity money will be given to you?"

Han Xiufeng continued to look through the list of Zaoli archers and smiled, "The salary is 31 taels and 5 cents per year, and the integrity is 81 taels per year. However, it is a little too small to be an official, but it is not a matter of official salary or integrity is raising money."

As he was speaking, the archers guarding the gate came to report.

Hai'an's words were really difficult to understand. Han Xiufeng asked for a long time before he realized that someone was asking for a meeting.

Yu Youfu and Su Jueming arrived. As soon as they entered the lobby, they knelt down and bowed. There were no outsiders in the lobby. Han Xiufeng hurriedly stood up and told them not to be polite. Seeing Yu Youfu again, Datou was the happiest and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Yu, we're here in the morning. Why did you come here just now?"

"I want to do a serious business," Yu Youfu looked around the lobby curiously, sat down and sighed, "Young Master, I used to hear people saying that three miles of wind and ten miles of customs. I didn't believe it at that time, but I only realized that the words made sense when I got here."

"What's the reason?" Han Xiufeng asked with great interest.

"Hai'an is not big, and Baimi Town is not even big, but the accents of the two places are different. The villages south of Hai'an are the places at the junction of Rugao. Not only are the accents different from Hai'an, but they even have different customs. You won't believe it if you say it. Dad is not called Dad here, but Dad. Mom is not called Mom here, but Mom is called Mom here, but Mom."

"It's interesting."

"There is even more interesting. Grandpa doesn't call grandpa here, but daddy. Young Master, are you funny?" Yu Youfu took the tea from Datou and continued: "Besides the customs, if people die in the villages on the Yunyan River and in the north, if people die in their family, they will not set off firecrackers for three years. If firecrackers are said to set off firecrackers, they will blind the eyes of the dead ancestors. If people die in those villages in Rugao die, they will not be filial!"

"So it is said that the three miles are different from the wind and ten miles are different from the customs." Han Xiufeng smiled, and then the topic changed: "Uncle Yu, Datou, as the saying goes, follow the customs of the countryside. We must learn local dialect in the future. I know that it is difficult, but at least we must be able to understand. We cannot know nothing about people who are like deaf people."

"I need to learn. I can understand a little bit after following Jueming these days."

"Is that true? Yu Bantu, I didn't expect you to learn so quickly!" Su Jueming knew that Yu Youfu was Han Si's elder, so he took the opportunity to compliment him.

"You have never been to our Ba County. Once you go there, you will know that our place is a serious big wharf. There are all people from all over the world. If you can't even understand what others say, how can you be a janitor?" Yu Youfu smiled proudly.

"Uncle Yu, let's talk about Hai'an when we arrive." Han Xiufeng smiled and looked at Su Jueming sitting beside him, and asked curiously: "Jueming, have you gained something in the past few days?"
