Chapter six hundred and twenty fifth one year nine

Li Xun hugged his daughter, and a deep feeling arose, which was the thick blood connection.

Staring at his sleeping daughter, Li Xun was a little dazed. It has been ten years since the fifteenth year of Guangyuan to the present. In the past ten years, although he has escaped from a poor life and his life is getting better and better, the things he has experienced and the pressure he has endured are increasing day by day. Sometimes Li Xun is thinking about it without thinking about the poverty that was once hard, but he is still stable and there is no need to think about it. There is no pressure. In fact, that is good. Now? He has wealth, high officials and generous salaries, but the things he needs to bear are getting heavier and heavier. If he is not careful, the one who is unlucky is not just himself, but all his family.

"Have you given a name?"

"Who can name your daughter when your father is gone?"

You Min glared at Li Xun, then smiled and said, "But my father-in-law wrote a letter and gave him a few names, but I hope to wait for you to come back and ask you to name your daughter in person."

Li Xun smiled. You Min said this tactfully. The old man couldn't read a few words. What good names could he have? Obviously, it was the name given by Li Mancang, and You Min didn't like any of them, but it was hard to say no to say anything. He could only say that he was waiting for Li Xun to come back before making a decision.

Li Xun smiled and said, "You have a higher education than me, so you can choose your name."

You Min nodded and did not refuse. After all, it was just a daughter, so it didn't matter who would take it. Many daughters from ordinary poor people didn't even have names, only nicknames, and only boys would be valued. If Li Xun had a son in the future, he would not be able to do whatever he wanted. He must comply with etiquette and law, and no one could be named by a woman's family.

Afterwards, You Min said a few names in a row, all of which were good, but Li Xun shook his head, obviously not very satisfied.

You Min bulged her mouth and said angrily: "You don't want to name you, but you are not satisfied with the name I gave you. What do you want to do?"

Li Xun laughed. It was not that he was dissatisfied with You Min's name, but that he happened to remember the world that once was a very famous poem.

"After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather comes late. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows on the rocks. The bamboos are noisy and the washing girls are washed down, and the lotus moves down the fishing boats. The spring fragrance is at will, and the princes can stay."

Li Xun whispered to You Min: "My daughter is called Li Mingyue, okay?"

You Min looked at Li Xun in shock: "Husband, can you still write such a good poem?"

Li Xun coughed twice: "I don't have that ability, this is what I saw from a book."

“Which book?”

"Forgot."

You Minfei glanced at Li Xun and did not continue to ask questions. Everyone has their own little secrets, so there is no need to ask the bottom line.

After chatting for a while, Hua Shaosheng came over and bowed and said, "Lord, Feng Jiming is asking for a meeting."

In the seventh year of Chengping, Li Xun was transferred to the governor of Wuzhou, Zhou Qing became the county magistrate of Wu'an County, and Feng Jiming was the county magistrate of Wu'an County.

Feng Jiming did not attract Li Xun's attention at the beginning. He was timid and did not seek to improve himself. He was a good man. Li Xun was a little fond of his opinion, so the two had very little communication at the beginning, and the turning point still happened to Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing was young and promising and too straightforward. Li Xun had said before that he was an angry young man. When he first came to Wuzhou, the relationship between the two was not very friendly. Many of Li Xun's decrees were often fiercely opposed by Zhou Qing. For this reason, although Li Xun praised Zhou Qing's talent, he still intended to transfer him from Wuzhou. But for some reason, slowly, Zhou Qing's attitude began to change, and even in the end, although his personality was still the same, he became supportive and thoroughly implemented for many of Li Xun's policies. Li Xun was quite surprised, and finally someone secretly checked it. Only then did he realize that the big reason was because of Feng Jiming.

Although Feng Jiming was timid and did not seek to be ambitious, he was extremely serious in his work, believed in the doctrine of the mean, did not offend anyone or please anyone. His personality was very popular with Zhou Qing, and the two soon became friends.

Feng Jiming was born in a poor family and his ancestors were all peasants for 18 generations. He had no chance or ability to study, but the village where he lived had a fourth-rank official. After this man became a scholar, he returned to his hometown to support his old age and had some money. Thinking of Fuze Township, he built a Chongwen Academy in the village to educate and study for free. Feng Jiming studied at Chongwen Academy since he was a child. Although he was not very smart, he studied very hard. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 22, but failed the imperial examination in the following six years. His family was poor. Feng Jiming had to give up the imperial examination and worked as a minor official in the county to support his parents, wife and children, and lived in poverty.

The little official who worked as a sword pen for fifteen years was originally like this, but Feng Jiming took a good wife. After the First Longyou War, the seven states in the western part of Longyou were recovered, and there were a large number of official positions. After Li Zhong recovered the western part of Longyou, he soon led a large army to return to the Central Plains, leaving only a small number of troops to guard. With the coveted Dashi people in the west and Tubo people eyeing him, no one in Wu'an County, the westernmost part of Longyou Road, was willing to serve. Feng Jiming's wife Xia seized this opportunity and counted all her belongings. He borrowed a lot of money from his parents' family, and raised three hundred taels of silver to manage the upper and lower levels. In the end, he also obtained the position of Wu'an County Magistrate for Feng Jiming. As the position of the seventh rank, he was considered a real scholar.

After Zhou Qing was transferred to Wuzhou, the position of county magistrate of Wu'an County was vacant. The core of the western part of Longyou was in Wuzhou, while the core of Wuzhou was in Wu'an. Li Xun could not interfere in the appointment and removal of first-level officials in the prefecture. However, Wu'an County was its base and core, and Li Xun naturally had to take control of it. However, there were many outstanding generals under his command, but there were very few literati. After thinking about it, Li Xun finally called Feng Jiming's general and asked him to take over as county magistrate of Wu'an County. Originally, this was just an exaggeration. When he had the opportunity, he was replaced by his own people.

Feng Jiming is a very distinctive person. No matter whether right or wrong, he never quarrels with others. Because he is regarded as Li Xun, he has been ridiculed and verbally insulted by many people. Feng Jiming does not argue or quarrel, and even acts a little timid. However, once he turns to the main business, Feng Jiming is extremely tough and even stubborn. Even Zhou Qing admires him very much. At this point, Li Xun begins to look at Feng Jiming with admiration. This is a talent.
