After Han Xiufeng visited the Taoist platform, he went to the next government office to visit the Taoist platform.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, he said the same thing as when he visited the Taoist platform. Although he was talking about the truth, Chongqing Prefect Du Xingyuan, like Sichuan East Dao Cao Shuzhong, did not believe a word.

Han Xiufeng was too lazy to explain too much. After accompanying him to see Chen Hu and other military officers, he once again declined his kindness on the grounds that Ding You was not suitable for a banquet, and led Chen Hu and others back to his home not far from the Dao Office and the government office.

Maybe Qin'er and her children didn't come together in Ciyun, or maybe this family is a new home, but she doesn't feel like going home at all. Just led by her second brother and sister-in-law, she walked around in and out, and Ge Erxiao, who was temporarily serving as the gatekeeper, asked the county magistrate to ask for a meeting.

The parents and officials of the hometown must meet. Xiangqing, the magistrate of the "red belt" who had been in the main hall of Ba County for several years, came into the living room, sat down and had a drink of tea, and chatted about the capital for a while, Ge Erxiao ran in with a famous post.

"Report to Mr. Han, Huguang's guest Changjiang Zonghai is looking for a meeting."

"Don't you see me, have you seen me accompanying the county magistrate?"

"As for orders, I will go back to him now."

"Mr. Han, as far as Xiaguan knows, Mr. Jiang has been a friend of Lord Duan. Xiaguan also heard that Mr. Jiang was a colleague of Lord Duan when he was a friend of Lord Duan, and later he was also your friend of Lord Han. Moreover, Huguang Guild Hall is right in front, so he and you are also neighbors, so it doesn't matter if you meet."

"Neighbor?" Han Xiufeng asked knowingly.

Although Xiangqing was a royal family, he did not dare to put on a "red belt" air in front of Han Xiufeng, and hurriedly bowed: "Master Han, you must have been away from home for too long. When you go out, you will be at the Huguang Guild Hall. You and him are really neighbors!"

"Oh, I really don't care." Han Xiufeng pretended to weigh the pros and cons, and said reluctantly: "Since it's a neighbor, then I'll invite you."

"As for the order!" Ge Erxiao bowed and bowed, then walked out of the main hall with a knife as if he was still in a military camp.

Xiangqing peeked at Chen Hu and others who were talking in the yard. Thinking of Han Xiufeng's attitude towards Jiang Zonghai just now, he thought that the person who came was really bad, so he quickly pulled the person to see him again: "Master Han, I heard that the lower official was coming to pay my respects. The slutty man asked if his wife and the young master were back? They had a good relationship and had walked around a lot before."

"Jiannei has also mentioned his wife's wife a lot to me. It's a coincidence that when Ji Nei comes back from the countryside with two children, I will definitely let her take her to pay homage to her sister-in-law's wife."

"Master Han is really good at joking. It should be the only one who asked the lower-ranking officials to come and pay homage to him."

As he was talking, Huguang guest Changjiang Zonghai walked in with a smile, and as soon as he entered the door, he bowed and said, "Go to Mr. Han and the County Master in Xiajiang Zonghai."

"Mr. Jiang, don't need to be polite," Han Xiufeng stood up and helped him up. While greeting him, he smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, although this is the first time you and I have met you, Wang Naiteng has mentioned you a lot to me when he was in the capital. But he didn't expect that Mr. Wang would come to Ba County with Lord Duan and become my neighbor."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Han had heard of me, and I was lucky enough to have three lives."

Han Xiufeng knew very well that he and Xiangqing were wearing pairs of pants and did not want to go around in circles. He said meaningfully: "Mr. Jiang, if you don't say secret words, I can probably guess what you are going to do. Now, today it is not peaceful. Not only is it difficult to do business in various industries, but you, the Huguang customer, are also difficult to do!"

Jiang Zonghai hurriedly said, "Master Han is clear and not afraid of Master Han's jokes. I really regret being this customer chief."

"I have been fighting for hundreds of years. Changmao has been killed in Hubei. In the south, there are also bandits and bandits in Guizhou. There are bandits around. The local gentry and merchants from eight provinces are still fighting in their nests. It is so heartbreaking to think about it."

Han Xiufeng sighed lightly and then said, "In the capital, Mr. Han and I, editor Ji Yunfei, and fellow villagers of the Hanlin Academy, have never regarded Mr. Huang Zhongyin, the censor of Huguang Road, as an outsider. After returning, we also told the gentry who found Ciyun's hometown that as long as we live in our Ba County, those who pay taxes in our Ba County are all from Ba County! If we really have to ask the bottom line, let alone them, I am afraid that even my ancestors of Han Xiufeng moved from other places. Everything should be put first, and there should be no distinction between local tourists, let alone local tourists' disputes!"

"Mr. Han said so well, so the officials thought so." Xiangqing nodded with a deep understanding.

Jiang Zonghai even stood up and said, "Mr. Han is reasonable and is willing to pay a visit to the next generation of merchants from eight provinces."

"No, no, don't do this." Han Xiufeng signaled him to sit down, and then changed his mind: "But no matter what the merchants in the eight provinces have to take more or less into consideration the feelings of local gentry. If you respect me one foot, I can respect you one foot, right? If you care about everything and confront everything, you will only be uneasy."

"Mr. Han said, I'm... I also think that the Eight Provincial Administration has done some things in the past few years."

"Actually, I have no other intentions. I just hope everyone can take a step back. After all, Ba County is so big, and I look up and see you. Why do you want to be as cold as an enemy?"

...

Han Xiufeng said a lot, but Xiangqing and Jiang Zonghai suddenly realized that they didn't say anything, or that they were doing things and mixing things.

Just as he didn't know how to continue talking, Han Xiufeng picked up the teacup.

Xiangqing and Jiang Zonghai had no choice but to get up and leave.

When they saw the two of them off, it was getting dark. They closed their doors to thank the guests, and they would never see each other no matter who came.

When he returned to the main hall again, his second brother and sister-in-law had already helped to prepare a banquet. Du San and Pan Er, who had not shown up just now, walked out of the inner hall and looked at him and asked with a smile: "Second brother, there will be no guests again, right?"

"It won't be there again, even if there is, I won't see you again." Han Xiufeng sat down and smiled.

After a long separation, Du San recalled the scene when he went to Beijing to invest in the offerings together. While pouring wine for Han Xiufeng, who was sitting in the main seat, he sighed: "There is no big head. If Big Head comes back with you, we brothers can get together."

"Yes, I just lack a big head." Han Xiufeng took the wine glass and smiled: "I don't know how comfortable his life is. Not only did he marry a wife, but he also climbed up to the high branches of the Ao family in Rongchang, and even became a third-class guard. He is really stupid and lucky."

"It's not your support. If it weren't for you, his son would have lived this good life now."

"It's not just the big head, you and me are the same." Pan Er raised his cup and said seriously and sincerely: "Fourth Brother, I'll give you a cup."

"Okay, have a drink first!"

...

The brothers who had to save money on travel expenses back then have now become popular. Han Xiufeng was also very moved. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, he couldn't help asking: "Brother, do you really plan to wait for me to sell my gun and help "sell chickens to redeem the gun money" and then go back to Jiangsu?"

Du San put down his chopsticks and said helplessly: "Second brother, you are a human being in the officialdom, why don't you help me!"

"You don't have to lead troops to fight. Even now, this Dushi is registered. No one will say anything if he doesn't go back."

"It's okay if you don't go back. As for money, you have made a lot of money in the past two years. But if you don't go back, no one will do the errands and missed buying things in Jiangnan Daying. I, Du San, can have today. First, I rely on your second brother to support you, and second, I rely on the care of my fellow villagers in Jiangnan Daying. So I still have to go back. I can't make people think that I, Du San, only recognize money and do not care about the friendship between fellow villagers."

"The journey back is not peaceful, you have to be careful."

"It's okay, I can go around the places that Changmao occupied, and I have the guards given by Xiang Shuai." Du San smiled and then asked curiously: "Second brother, don't just talk about me, what are your plans next? Will this group training be done or not?"

Han Xiufeng pondered: "It depends on the situation. If the bandits in Guizhou are not very fierce and there are not many places to affect them, then this group training will naturally not be done. If the bandits in Guizhou are becoming more and more fierce and become bigger and bigger, just like Changmao, I can't sit idly by. After all, this is our hometown, and we can't let it grow bigger and then rush into eastern Sichuan to harm the elders of our hometown."

Pan Er couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother, will Cao Shuzhong ask you to do it?"

"Xiangqing is too lazy to care about how fierce the bandits in Guizhou are, but Cao Shuzhong must not dare to just watch the coldly. I guess he will let him do it."

"Then when will we do it and what will we do?"

"When Cao Shuzhong asks us to do it," Han Xiufeng thought for a while, and said, "Even if I do this regiment training, I don't plan to lead the regiment bravery out of the province to help the attack and suppress the officials and troops in Guizhou. I will only help train a few camps of townships, at most help guard several passes leading to Guizhou."

"Fourth brother, if you don't lead the troops, who will let them lead the troops?"

"Changsheng, do you really think I am proficient in military tactics, and do you really think I am the ever-winning general who wins every battle?" Han Xiufeng asked back and said thoughtfully: "Not only are Guizhou full of mountains, but I have never been to it. I am not familiar with the place. How can I fight this battle? So it is better to train a few camps of village warriors and give it to Guizhou officials who have insight into the people's conditions and are familiar with the terrain to attack and suppress the enemy."

"Zhang Ying?" Pan Er asked subconsciously.

"From the news you found out, Zhang Ying, the deputy director of Sichuan East Road, is a good leader. In short, if the bandits in Guizhou become more and more fierce and become bigger, I will find a way to recruit two or three thousand local heroes and let Gao Yunfeng take him to Guizhou to quell the rebellion. After arriving in Guizhou, everything will be followed by Zhang Ying's dispatch."

"Isn't this cheaper than Zhang Ying?"

"The first thing we want to think about is to ensure the safety of our hometown. If we don't make achievements, we can't say that we won't be cheap."

"Cao Shuzhong agrees to hand over his own training village warrior to the officials in Guizhou to be dispatched, and even to pay for food and wages?"

"He should understand the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and he should agree. As for food and money, the prefectures in Dongchuan may need to pay a little, but as long as the village heroes go out of the province to help quell the rebellion with Guizhou, the food and money that will be paid first will be earned sooner or later."

"How to make a profit?"

"I have inquired that Zhang Feng was once a magistrate in Weining. Weining not only produces copper, but also produces the most copper in Guizhou! In order to sell copper to the Central Plains and to allow the people of Weining to make more livelihoods, he advocated the construction of a road from Xundian Prefecture, Yunnan to Weining Prefecture, Guizhou. It is said that the remote villages passing by that road have inns and copper shops."

Han Xiufeng paused and continued: "Guizhou produces more lead, and if there is copper and lead, you can cast coins. Sichuan is as short of money as other places. It is said that even plans to cast large coins like the capital. I dare to conclude that as long as Guizhou is willing to give copper and lead, Cao Shuzhong will definitely be willing to send a village warrior to help Guizhou quell the rebellion. This transaction will not only not lose, but may also make money. What's more, the Guizhou officials are leading the troops. Whether they win or lose in the future, they will inevitably be rewarded by Cao Shuzhong's contribution."

Pan Er didn't expect that war was a deal, so he couldn't help asking: "Have you told Cao Shuzhong about this?"
