Fifteen days later, the sea boat that Fanning was on finally arrived in Quanzhou. Two large ships sailed into Jinjiang. Everyone came to the side of the boat and looked at the seaside county town where they were about to live for many years. The county town was very warm, with a slight sea breeze blowing, cool and comfortable, and refreshing.

"Husband, can you see the new mansion on the river?"

"Of course, we have our own pier, but unfortunately it's afternoon. If it's early in the morning, you can see the waterfalls shining under the morning glow, which turns out to be purple. Therefore, the mansion is also called Zichuan Mansion, which is a famous mansion in Quanzhou."

At this time, my sister Ado pulled Aya and ran over, pointing to a mansion in the distance and shouting: "Brother, there is a waterfall in that mansion!"

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "That mansion is really good!"

Aduo said with a look of longing, "I'm so envious! Whose house has a waterfall."

Fanning and Zhu Pei looked at each other, and they smiled knowingly. Under Zhu Pei's guidance, Ado had regained her vigour and was no longer disappointed that Zhu Qi did not come to see her off.

At this time, two large ships slowly stopped on a private pier. The pier could stop two passenger ships of 3,000 stones. Ador immediately widened his eyes. Isn't this the waterfall's mansion? Is it just

She jumped up excitedly, wishing she could grow wings and fly in.

"We're here, everyone is ready to get off the boat!"

Fanning picked up his daughter Zhen'er and took the lead in getting off the big boat. In front of him was a river bank built with stones. The bank was two meters wide. A row of mango trees were planted along the riverside. This was something that had been found before. However, the craftsmen laid stone slabs and the river bank seemed clean and tidy.

Two feet away in front was a long wall, more than ten feet high. The wall was planted with bamboo, which was quite elegant. At this time, Lin Junsheng had already received the news and had been waiting for him on the dock for a long time.

He handed Fan Ning a lacquered box full of keys and smiled: "It was completed ten days ago and has been cleaned up. I'm waiting for the envoy to come and take over the house!"

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I will settle with you tomorrow."

"No hurry! No hurry! The key is to make you satisfied."

Seeing that there were many female relatives, it was not convenient for him to enter the house, Lin Junsheng went out and handed the key to the door of the back house to Fan Ning, "This is the key to the door of the back house, so I will say goodbye first. If you have any dissatisfaction, I will tell me tomorrow and I will correct it as soon as possible!"

He bowed to Fanning and said goodbye in a hurry.

Fan Ning gave the keys to the main gate and the side gate to Butler Liu, and Butler Liu took a large group of servants along the courtyard wall to the front main gate into the mansion. This is also the rule of the wealthy family. Except for the maids of the back house, ordinary servants are not allowed to go through the back door.

Fanning walked forward and opened the door of the back house. Jian Meizi helped him push the door open. Everyone exclaimed. In front of them was a large green grassland, with colorful flowers growing on the grassland. On the left was a small forest. There was a pavilion next to the woods. In the middle was a straight stone road leading to the hill in front.

Zhen'er struggled down the mountain, ran into the grass, laughing and ran away. Ouyang Qian asked in surprise: "Why did you think of building a grassland?"

Fan Ning smiled, "This place was originally farmland, but later it turned into wasteland and overgrown weeds. I asked them to pull out all the weeds and plant short varieties of tender grass, so they can ride horses here."

When Fanning saw her sister Ado and her daughter picking a big handful of wild flowers, she smiled and said, "If you have time to play again, go to the mansion to find a room first."

Everyone walked along the stone road in the middle toward the inner house. In front of them was a waterfall cliff. The cliff was not high, only about four meters, equivalent to four floors. The cliff was covered with various vines and medicinal materials. A mountain spring flowed down from the crack of the rock three meters, forming a thin waterfall.

The mountain is full of tall trees, like a small forest, and the original ecology is well maintained.

There is also a wall in the inner house, which is the original wall, but it has been changed to a hollow flower wall. After walking through a round door, a green lake water suddenly appeared in front of them. The lake surface is about five acres, and lotus flowers are planted inside. The waterfall is poured into the lake water. On both sides are a circle of corridors with eaves. Exquisite small yards are located behind the corridor. This corridor connects eight small courtyards together.

In fact, Fanning showed everyone the drawings halfway and assigned the yard. Fanning's mother Zhang Sanniang and her sister Ado, and her mother-in-law Wang took Zhu Zhe, Jian Meizi and four female guards to live on the left, Fanning and his wives, concubines and children lived on the right, and the eight yards were semicircular, just around the hills and lakes.

The yard has been divided long ago, and there is no need to say anything. Everyone went to their own yards. There are four yards on the right, Zhu Pei, Ouyang Qian and Ajacob, and the other one is Fanning's inner study.

Everyone took their little maids to work hard, while Fan Ning walked into his inner study, which was the smallest yard with only three rooms, the patio was covered with stone slabs, and there were clusters of bamboos on both sides.

The house still uses the same longnao wood furniture as before, but when he walked into the study, Fan Ning was stunned. His inner study furniture was actually made of ebony wood, which is a precious wood that is more expensive than red sandalwood. Fan Ning shook his head. Lin Junsheng is really good at pleaseing people. This five-piece set of ebony study is not available in the Beijing market. Even if it can be sold, it will be at least more than ten thousand yuan.

The first day was spent in all kinds of busyness, and everyone was exhausted when they fell asleep, and even supper was delivered to them, which was a simple solution.

The next morning, everyone started their busy schedule again, and Fan Ning came to the Overseas Economic and Investigation Office. This time, the Zhizhengtang agreed to transfer officials from new counties overseas to overseas by officials from Overseas Economic and Investigation Office. For this reason, the Zhizhengtang transferred fourteen alternate officials to the Overseas Economic and Investigation Office, making the total number of officials from the General Administration reach 57.

In addition to Fan Ning, a third-rank official, there is only the deputy envoy Li Mu who is from the fifth-rank, the judge Luo Jiang who is from the sixth-rank, and the others are from the eighth-rank low-rank officials.

When he walked into the official room and sat down, his aide Chen Qing sent a stack of documents. Fan Ning saw that he looked a little unnatural and concealed it. He was surprised in his heart. He looked at him carefully and then found that there was a large area of ​​his left cheekbones.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Chen Qing had to whisper: "I went out in a hurry in the morning and accidentally fell down, and his face hit the threshold."

"It seems to be a little swollen, it doesn't matter?"

"I have applied the medicine and the swelling has been reduced a lot, so it's not a problem."

Fanning nodded and stopped asking. He turned over the documents and asked, "Is there any news about Ryukyu Mansion?"

"A few days ago, a quick message was sent, saying that some Japanese workers were suffering from miasma. More than 100 people fell down, and they were bitten by poisonous snakes, killing nine people. Yesterday, another message was sent. All workers who were poisoned by miasma have recovered, but six more people were killed by poisonous snakes. County Magistrate Zhang begs to equip antibiotics as soon as possible."

Fan Ning frowned and said to Chen Qing: "You write a letter for me and tell Zhang Ying that the snake medicine will be delivered as soon as possible, but they have to think of a way to grind the realgar into powder and put it in a small bag, and then sew five or six bags of realgar powder bags on a pair of pants, and the same goes for clothes. Don't complain to me about anything, and find a way to solve it yourself."

Chen Qing handed two letters to Fan Ning and said, "It seems that the poisonous snake can't stand the smell of realgar. When he ran away in panic, he fell from the tree and fell on the laborer's neck, causing it to bite him randomly."

"Then give each worker a big bamboo hat to block the sun and the poisonous snake!"

Fan Ning immediately approved and asked the Jingliufu to immediately purchase 30,000 bamboo hats and deliver them to the Ryukyu Mansion.

Chen Qing went down to write a letter for Fan Ning. At this time, aides Gongsun Xuance and Zhang Bo walked in. Fan Ning glanced outside the door and asked with a smile: "What's going on his face?"

Zhang Bo held back his laughter and whispered: "Last night, he and several officials went to Dielian Hualefang to drink and visit prostitutes. When he returned home, he was served by his wife's family law. Today he wanted to ask for leave, but the envoy was coming, so he had no choice but to limp."

Fan Ning laughed silently, "What family law, so powerful?"

"I heard that it was a slap, but it was not a slap in the face. This time his wife might have failed."

Fan Ning shook his head. The roar of the Lion in Hedong was indeed amazing. However, Chen Jichang deserved it. His wife was obviously at home and she went to drink and visit prostitutes. Isn’t she seeking death?

Fan Ning stopped mentioning this matter and said to the two: "The Zhizhengtang finally approved the establishment of five counties of the Ryukyu Prefecture. In addition to Liuqiu County, Liuzhong County and Liunan County, Kinmen County will be built in the north and Quandong County to the south. In addition to Liuli County and Penghu County, there are seven counties under the jurisdiction of the Ryukyu Prefecture. In addition to Penghu County and Liuqiu County, there are five new counties to be built. I am going to select fifteen officials from the Ryukyu Prefecture. You two are responsible for guiding them how to build a new county, so you will use the experience of Kunzhou to hand it over to them."

We got it, and the two of them continued to bow.

At this time, Chen Qing walked in and handed the written reply to Fan Ning. Fan Ning read it, signed the name, handed it to him, and said to him: "You ask me the detailed resume of the officials of the Strategic Office, I need it now!"
Chapter completed!
