The day before yesterday, when I came back from fishing, I found that Datou was drunk by Wang Qianbu and other shop soldiers. The room was full of vomiting, and the smell was so bad that it was disgusting. Han Xiufeng felt that Dean Gu's words made sense during the day. He could not just let herd sheep like this, and he had to guard their crazy hearts.

Yesterday morning, the relatives who came back from Taizhou with Datou and Ji Daji, and Hai'an, who had received the reward from Wanfuqiao and returned home, felt that farming was meaningless. More than 30 village men from Qutang and Baimi Regiment were gathered together, and Han Bo and Tang Guozheng were staring at them in the morning to practice. After eating, they took them to learn and write. They continued to practice in the evening. In the evening, they asked Dean Gu and the alternate Confucian teachings, and Ren Yaen, the Dean of Mingdao Academy, to tell them the Three Kingdoms.

There is nothing to do with the exercise, they have long been used to it.

I heard from President Gu and President Ren that they prefer the Three Kingdoms. Recognizing and writing words cost them their lives. They cried and complained.

Han Xiufeng was unmoved and was limited to learning to write his own name within two days, knowing how to memorize the "Three Character Classic" within ten days, knowing how to write a hundred big characters, and memorizing the "Three Character Classic" and "The Rules of Disciples" within one month. If anyone can't memorize or can't write it, not only will he have to fine, but he will also go to Mingdao Academy to learn with those six or seven-year-old schoolchildren.

They fought wars and fought with thieves. They were all tough and thick-skinned. Not to mention hitting the palms, they were not afraid of hitting the board, but they were most afraid of fines. They didn't want to go with a group of children to study and throw away that person. They could only follow them with dejected heads and learn.

Datou couldn't stand it after studying for a whole afternoon. Seeing that Han Xiufeng was going out to have a drink with Dean Gu again, he came over pitifully and begged: "Fourth brother, please spare me. I'm really not a good source of study! I won't drink anymore, and you will hit me again."

"Yes, Mr. Han, look at how we write, I really can't learn it, I really can't write well." Ji Da also said with a bitter face.

They all started together, and a group of boys followed suit and complained.

The group of Qiu Babians were so honest that Dean Gu couldn't help but laugh.

How could Han Xiufeng give up halfway, and said with a stern face: "Who are you masters? Master, I follow the rules. I am doing military orders. Do you know the military orders? If you can't learn, you have to learn them. If you can't write well, you have to write them. If anyone dares to talk, don't blame the master, I will let them get out!"

Yu Qinghuai found it funny and thought that he should give them rules. More importantly, the benefits of reading and reading are the benefits of reading. Especially listening to the Three Kingdoms, not only can he learn some military tactics from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he can also let them know what loyalty is. Seeing Han Xiufeng with a stern face, he consciously said that he should play a white-faced face, and looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Don't you be rude, and don't think about whether anyone can read books?"

"Master Yu, it's not that the young one is ignorant of being polite. The young one knows that being able to study is a great blessing, but the young one is really not that material!"

"Listen to me." Yu Qinghuai glared at them fiercely and said angrily: "Most of you want to be officials. Even if you can't be a Shangguan for the time being, you can do it sooner or later with Master Han's support. When you become a Shangguan, you will be a Guanzheng. How can you do this illiterate official? Even if you can do it, you won't be able to do it for a long time. Do you know?"

Big Head was stunned, and the second-class boy Ji Daji looked at each other and dared not say anything again.

President Gu took over the conversation and shook his head and sighed: "You are not only ignorant of esteem, but also in the midst of blessings, and they do not know how to be good at Mr. Han's good intentions. Children cannot be taught, and children cannot be taught!"

Yang Qingyu of the old white rice group was the oldest and the most sensible among everyone. Seeing that Mr. Han looked unhappy, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Han, the young man is confused, the young man is wrong, the young man is ignorant, the young man is not polite, the young man will never dare to do it again. Dean Gu, the young man is good at learning, the young man can teach?"

"It's really teachable?"

"It's really good to teach. The young man can already write his own name. If you don't believe me, you will always read it!" Yang Qingyu hurriedly took out a big word written yesterday from his arms. It was indeed his name, but it was written in a crooked manner, and it seemed that there was a missing stroke.

President Gu suppressed his laughter and was about to encourage them, but suddenly a sound of gongs and drums came from the direction of Zhongbakou. He was thinking that it was not a festival or festival that sounded, and then he saw Fang Shimei's cousin Fang Shijun and Wang Qianbu, the post shop, rushing over happily. As soon as he saw everyone, he shouted: "Congratulations to Mr. Han, congratulations to Mr. Han! Congratulations to President Gu, congratulations to Mr. Gu! Congratulations to all the masters, the people from Taizhou, the emperor has given an order!"

"What congratulations are you here? What is the emperor's will?" Han Xiufeng asked subconsciously.

"The Grand Master of the Prefecture is here, and he is with Changsheng... No, he came with Mr. Pan from the Yunsi Yamen. Mr. Zhang also came. Mr. Zhang said that they were sent an order and said that you have all been promoted. The Grand Master's official ship had just docked, and my brother was bringing several masters here to welcome him!"

"Wait, are you saying that Changsheng came with our Taizhou Master and Zhang Er Master?"

"Well, he is wearing official uniforms, and it seems that the tonic is from the sixth grade."

Han Xiufeng was so happy that he couldn't help but smile and said, "I know, President Gu, Mr. Zhang, are here, let's go to welcome him together?"

When President Gu heard that he was also part of his position, he was about to say that he would come out to greet him together. Fang Shijun said anxiously: "Master Han, Master Da Jiao, you are here to wait. You don't have to move, they will arrive soon."

"The master is here, how can we not come out to greet us?"

"It's really not necessary, the master has really explained it."

As he was speaking, the sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer. He thought that he should be "repaying his wounds" and that there might be other people coming. Han Xiufeng realized that Zhang Zhigao and Zhang Guangcheng would not let him go out to greet him. He threw the words "Then I won't welcome you." He ran back to the small courtyard on the north side of the threshing farm, hurriedly searched for wooden pieces to tie it on his legs. When he tied it and walked out of the yard with a crutch, Zhang Zhigao and others had already arrived.

The ceremonial master of the prefect travel was indeed majestic. Some people yelled gongs, some people raising "Silent" and "Avoidance" signs, some people held water and fire sticks, and some people wielded umbrellas. Even the sedan chairs were shipped by boat. He came by a sedan chair from Zhongbakou to the threshing ground. Not only did Pan Er transform into a sixth-rank civil servant, but he also rode a sedan chair like Zhang Zhigao. Several soap clerks from the transportation department office followed behind, holding a wooden pallet in his hand, covering it with red cloth, and he didn't know what was under the red cloth.

"The master is here, and I will be welcomed by my late child!"

"The great master comes to Hai'an in person, which is the glory of my gentry and people in Hai'an!"

"No gifts are not allowed, you are not allowed." Zhang Zhigao got out of the sedan chair with the help of Zhang Guangcheng, and was energetic. While bowing back the gift, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhixing, President Gu, Brother Yu, Brother Wang, Brother Li, congratulations to you, congratulations to you!"

"Why did the master say this? How could we be happy?" Han Xiufeng limped to him and asked with a smile.

"I can't say it now, President Gu, please don't let me put on the incense table first."

Fang Shijun made it clear just now. He said that the emperor had an order. President Gu reacted and hurriedly asked Yu Qinghuai and Wang Qianli to prepare quickly. Pan Er winked. Han Xiufeng guessed that it should be the reward for the Wanfuqiao victory, but he didn't know what it was, so he simply invited Zhang Zhigao and his son to the courtyard for tea.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the yard, Zhang Zhigao complained: "Brother Zhixing, there are people in the court and no one is different! Did my Guangcheng, my family, also make contributions to the victory of Wanfuqiao, and did Zhang Zhigao make great contributions to Taizhou's saving me, make great contributions, but those Shangguans turned a blind eye and regarded it as nothing, and no one said anything. Do you think my father and son are not in trouble?"

"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?"

"I asked before coming. Apart from a report from the imperial envoy Qishan, there would be no further information on the victory in Wanfuqiao. If Lord Guo had not rushed to the press for 600 miles, let alone me, Zhang Zhigao, you would have been forgotten even if you were brother Zhixing. But as the Lianghuai Transport Department, Lord Guo can only recommend you who helped rebuild the salt camp, and only recommend these gentry who helped you. Not to mention that he had no friendship with me, Zhang Zhigao, even if he had friendship, he would not be convenient for him to recommend local officials like me."

"I only recommend Dean Gu and others, but I didn't recommend you?" Han Xiufeng asked in a low voice.

"So there are people in the court who are easy to be officials." Zhang Zhigao sighed lightly, and then smiled again: "But I am so old, even if adults support this official for a few days, it's just that, it's fine if I don't say it."

Han Xiufeng asked him to sit down, and turned around and asked with a smile: "Changsheng, what official should Lord Guo recommend me to be?"

After entering the yard, Pan Er dared not act like an official again. He helped make tea and smiled: "Fourth brother, Lord Guo recommends you to be the deputy fortune officer. Unexpectedly, the emperor not only approved it, but also issued an edict. This is different from the election of the Ministry of Personnel. You are now granted the title of the fifth-rank top belt to be specially appointed as the deputy envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department. This is a great honor!"

"Brother Zhixing, we father and son will ask you to take care of you in the future." Zhang Zhigao bowed.

Han Xiufeng knew that Guo Peilin would not always let him be this unjustified camp official, but he never expected to be such a support. Thinking of this, he became a fifth-rank court official, and the top belt was given by the emperor and the special gift from the emperor. He was immediately ecstatic and wanted to fly back to Ba County to tell his family about this great good news.

"The Emperor has also approved all the matters between Datou and Liang Jiu and others. He also rewarded Mr. Yu, Mr. Wang and Mr. Li, the seventh-grade top-up strap, and rewarded Dean Gu with a pair of big purse and two pairs of small purse." Pan Er put down the teacup and said, "By the way, the Emperor not only rewarded you with big purse and small purse, but also rewarded 150 taels of silver. At first I thought the Emperor was stingy, but later I realized that this was a rare honor. Lord Guo said that the Emperor rarely rewarded silver, and even if he would not give much."

Zhang Guangcheng, who had no intention of career, wanted to go back to his hometown, and was not very envious of these things, but when Han Xiufeng's official fortune was so prosperous, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhixing, if you can't thank Lord Guo for your support today, you should also thank Old Gui Xu. If he hadn't forced you to spend 4,000 taels to donate a sixth-grade top dress and threatened Yang Dianbang and Zhang Tingrui to let you act as a Taizhou Prefecture, even if Lord Guo was willing to support you, he would not be able to recommend you a ninth-grade patrol inspector as a fifth-grade deputy."
