Han Xiufeng is tired of fishing every day and eating fish every day.

Datou and the others went to various villages to help organize group training, and no one could eat it. They simply gave all the kilograms of crucian carp they caught in the morning to Yu Sangu, just like yesterday. They went to Fengshan with Li Zhiyong without even taking the lunch in the yard.

The Salt Catch Camp was originally dedicated to investigating anti-smuggling vendors, but now the bandits are in chaos and the world is not peaceful. There is another job that can suppress each other. Unlike the camps in Langshan Town, which have flood land and pond land, they have to be stationed in different flood lands, so the camps are the same wherever they are located. However, it is better to station in Taizhou and Hai'an.

First, after the fall of Yangzhou, the population in Taizhou increased, and prices also rose. If the Salt Catching Camp was stationed in Taizhou, the food and rice, oil and salt of hundreds of people would have to be purchased in Taizhou, which would consume more food and money; second, Hai'an is not only close to each field, but also located at the intersection of Chuanchang River and Yunyan River. To the south, you can take a boat to the Tongzhou branch and the Taizhou branch to the north. If someone dares to invade the other party, you will be far faster to send troops from Hai'an than to Taizhou.

Because of this, Guo Peilin not only agreed to station the Salt Catch Camp in Hai'an, but also prepared to build a barracks at the foot of Fengshan on the north bank of the Yanhe River.

The reason why President Gu, Yu Qinghuai, Wang Qianli and other gentry were rewarded by Guo Peilin, so they naturally could not stand by. Moreover, the garrison of the salt camp was stationed in Hai'an, which was beneficial to them, and they not only donated the 120 acres of academic fields in Fengshan Academy by the river, but also used the public expenses of Baojia Bureau to recruit craftsmen and young men, and started construction first to buy bricks, tiles, sand and other materials.

Several students from Fengshan Academy have transformed into supervisors and are leading a group of people to level the land.

As soon as Han Xiufeng got ashore, Dean Gu's nephew Gu Jinyan came up and invited the two to the awning and pointed to the drawings pressed with tea tiles and said, "Master Han, this is a picture drawn by my uncle who invited Master Yang from Taizhou. Not only did Master Yang see it, but he also asked Master Feng Shui from Rugao to see it. They said that the government office is the most suitable for building this way of the camp and each warehouse."

"We still need to build a yamen office?" Han Xiufeng asked with a smile.

"Master Han, you are now the deputy master of the Movement, how can you not have a government office?" Gu Jinyan bowed his hand and said with a gaze: "The overall layout faces north and south. This is Mr Han's deputy man of the Movement. On the east is the Dusi Office, the barracks are behind the Dusi Office. On the west side, Shanyi Cang in Fengshan's Shecang and the Yancai Cang. Build a road at the entrance and another dock by the river!"

The grain was being transported from all over the place, and the dozens of people on the edge of the threshing farm used to store grain could no longer be installed. In addition, there was no charity warehouse in the town, and no warehouses were built in each village before, so President Gu and the gentry wanted to take this opportunity to build the charity warehouse and the social warehouse.

Han Xiufeng nodded slightly at the drawings. Gu Jinyan seemed to be inspired and said as if he was clearly aware of it: "The Yunshu Office has five entrances in front and behind. This is the Yimen Gate, on both sides are public housing, this is the lobby, and then the second hall. This entry is the study room and the place to meet guests. From here is the inner house, and the inner house is also the two entrances.

The warehouse area is also located in the north and south. This is the gate, this is the front yard, and from this is the back yard. The gatehouse is seven rooms wide and four rafters deep. The open room has a double-panel door. On both sides are public rooms. The three rooms in the middle are the halls dedicated to the God of Grain. Inside are six rows of warehouses, each row is seven rooms, with a single eaves and a hard top. The open space at the back must be flat and compacted for storage and drying grain..."

The Dusi Office and the Yanjuan Camp are all-round and can imagine how spectacular and grand it will be after completion. Han Xiufeng didn't expect them to be so big, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Jinyan, have you ever calculated how much money it will cost to build according to this picture?"

"Master Han, we are Hai'an, not Taizhou, so we really don't need much wages. As for the materials, we plan to choose practical ones and not buy fancy ones. Especially barracks and granaries, as long as they can be lived in and used, there is no need to carve beams and paint pillars. My uncle asked the master of Taizhou to estimate that five or six thousand taels are enough."

"Five or six thousand taels are really enough?"

"It's really enough, it's not enough, you're asking me!"

"How long will it take to build?"

"At most three months, if the construction is not completed in three months, you will ask me!"

Thinking of the temples on Fengshan, which are ordinary blue brick and tiled houses, not only are they not used with materials, but also have no carved beams and painted pillars. It is completely different from the renovation of the guild hall in the capital last year. Han Xiufeng couldn't help but laugh: "Since you have all thought about it, just build it according to this picture. Don't worry about the money. Although the Yunsi Yamen is not as good as before, it can still be used for 5,000 taels."

"It is a blessing to be able to serve Mr. Han in his late life."

"What's the lucky thing for me? Let's go to your academy for lunch, what's the lunch today?"

"Master Han, Wansheng doesn't know that you and Mr. Li are coming, so he is not prepared at all. When he came here just now, he seemed to be listening to the cooking person who said he had eaten vegetable and tofu soup for lunch."

"The green vegetable tofu soup is green vegetable tofu soup. It's better to eat lighter. Zhiyong, don't you think so?"

"Yes, the Fourth Master said it is, it's better to be lighter, it's better to be lighter!"

...

Just as they were talking and laughing, they went to Fengshan Academy to have a meal, Su Jueming was also having a meal at Baojia Bureau.

The food in Baojia Bureau is not as good as Fengshan Academy. It has enough white rice and only pickled vegetables in the twelfth lunar month. However, for those young and strong people who are used to hard life and cannot eat meat a few times a year, it is good to have enough food. They squat in the yard and eat with relish. When they are thirsty, they go to the jar to drink.

President Gu, Yu Qinghuai and Wang Qianli are not only the most respected gentry in Hai'an, but are still all officials. They cannot squat on the ground like farmers to eat, but sit around the Eight Immortals table in the main hall, and eat with one braised pork and one egg flower soup than the young and strong ones.

Su Jueming couldn't help asking while eating: "Director Gu, Master Yu, inspector Fang came to invite you some people, why didn't you go? He had a banquet there, and he ate better than this!"

"They are hosting the two alternate officials, and Mr. Han doesn't go there. What's the point of us?"

As soon as Wang Qianli finished speaking, Dean Gu looked up and said, "Don't eat or sleep."

"Oh, eat and eat."

Su Jueming thought that there were so many rules for eating. If you don’t eat with you in the future, you just finished the rice in the bowl and sat aside and waited for the three of them to finish eating. When the young and strong man who was cooking packed up the dishes, he held the tea ceremony he had just brewed: "Director Gu, Master Yu, Master Wang, I don’t know if I have something small or not."

Dean Gu and his father have been friends for many years, so naturally they would not treat him as an outsider and subconsciously asked: "What's the matter?"

"Director Gu, Mr. Han has been to Hai'an for several months. If the peaceful years are put, he will definitely send someone to take over his family. But today, it is not peaceful. This is a mess. Sichuan is far away from here, so the family will definitely not be able to take over."

"This is, how can you reunite if you are so far away from home?"

"I think the wife can't come, and there must be no one around him! Think about it all the time, let alone Mr. Han, who is the fifth-rank deputy, is the officials around him, who are not three wives and four concubines, and who is not even serving people in a room like Mr. Han?"

"It's true, Dean Gu, we should have thought of this matter long ago." Yu Qinghuai agreed deeply.

Wang Qianli also felt that Master Han was so lonely and inappropriate, and pondered: "Since I thought about it, then hurry up! President Gu, why don't I go to Taizhou to see if I can buy two maids for Master Han."

Thinking of Han Xiufeng's character, Dean Gu murmured: "You can buy it, but after you buy it, you don't know what kind of person Mr. Han is. What if Mr. Han doesn't want to do?"

"Why would Mr. Han not?"

"Why don't you want it? Don't think that Mr. Han was born as a donor, but Mr. Han doesn't necessarily like those rouge and water powder."

Thinking of the world-famous Yangzhou thin horse, Wang Qianli couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if Yangzhou had not fallen. If you want to talk about women, the women in the world are not as good as those in Yangzhou."

Su Jueming was waiting for this sentence and grinned: "Master Wang, if you want to talk about the woman in Yangzhou, Hai'an happens to have one!"

President Gu suddenly reacted and shook his head without thinking: "Don't talk nonsense, the Ren family's daughter is good, but that girl is the pearl in Dean Ren's hand. Not to mention letting his daughter be the commander, even if she is the little dean of Mr. Han, she would not agree."

"Director Gu, I know that Dean Ren is a well-known person, so it is naturally not suitable to let Miss Ren be the maid. But I don't know how much more noble than Dean Ren's identity. Now I am a deputy of the fifth-rank fortune. Not only is it supported by Lord Guo, but there are also people in Beijing, and the future is unlimited!"

"I know this. It's not a grievance to let the daughter of the Ren family be a concubine for Mr. Han, but he has no son, and he is just such a daughter. There are three unfilial things, and it's a great thing to have no descendants. If he can recruit a descendant to marry into a marriage, he can still continue his incense and inherit the family lineage for him. But if his daughter is a concubine for Mr. Han, he will be a terrible grandson."

"How could he be a child? You always forgot that he has not just renewed his strings. I heard that this red line is still yours. Yu Sangu is a fertile person at first sight. Isn't it a good boy to help him give birth to a fat boy? Even if Yu Sangu can't give birth to a child, he can still adopt a nephew from his cousin..."

"If it's not suitable or not, don't say it anymore, this is really inappropriate."

Before Su Jueming spoke, Yu Qinghuai smiled bitterly and said, "It is not inappropriate in my opinion, but just right! But this matter is too difficult to talk about and I can't speak to Dean Ren."

"Qinghuai said this in his opinion. After all, Dean Ren is also a person who wants to save face." Wang Qianli agreed.

Pan Er became an official, and Datou became an official. Even Liang Jiu and Ji Dajier, who were later on, became officials. Su Jueming also wanted to get an official, so how could he miss this opportunity to please Mr. Han? He laughed and said, "Director Gu, Mr. Yu, Mr. Wang, I have a way."

"What's the solution?" Dean Gu asked in a low voice.

"Actually, you guys thought too far and too much. Why do we have to ask for any pot without opening any pot? If you don't mention any concubine, just call the girl? Didn't Yu Sangu just do some work for a while? Maybe she's already pregnant. Regardless of whether she's pregnant or not, she can't work like this anymore."

“Summary.”

"If you don't let Yu Sangu do work, isn't there anybody around Mr. Han? I'd better let the second girl from Li Crack's family take over Yu Sangu, and then find an excuse to ask Miss Ren to help. Isn't she good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting? There's just a shortage of people around Mr. Han who can read and read. In short, let Miss Ren first go to Mr. Han, and then take a step-by-step look at other things before talking about them."

Wang Qianli thought about it and couldn't help but smile, "If Dean Ren and Miss Ren feel that men and women are not allowed to get along, they will lift the clumsy second girl from Li Clepton and ask why they can't. And so, there will be no so much gossip outside."

"That's what I think." Su Jueming smiled and continued, "Besides, this is Hai'an, not Taizhou, nor Yangzhou. The unmarried girl works for others and helps her. It's not shameful. Besides, she doesn't want the Ren family to do the work of those servants, just ask her to help her read the documents, calculate the accounts, and write letters."

"Let a woman do these?" Dean Gu asked laughed and cry.

"Director Gu, it's natural to say that, and it's another matter to let her do it!"
