The first year of Motoho should be a memorable year for the people of Tokyo.

There are so many things and things that have surprised them this year.

Especially after entering the winter, first the Xianghan Cao Yun was opened, and 600,000 Shigang grain was sent to the capital in just over a month. At the same time, the use of rails has also allowed the world to see another mode of transportation that does not transport by water.

Then there was the technique of planting pox, which killed countless people's acne, and finally there was a way to prevent it, and the imperial court set up a yamen for this purpose, which was responsible for planting pox, and the children and grandchildren of the family were blessed, at least they no longer had to tremble and fear that they would be killed by pox.

People thought that the surprise would end here, but who would have thought that before the Chinese New Year, there was even more gratifying news. The lord of Liao was harmed by the ministers, fell from a height of 100 zhang, and fell into a puddle of flesh; And the mother of the Western Xia country imprisoned her son as the lord of the country. As long as the heart is clear, no one will fail to see that the Liao State is about to face a civil war, and the Western Xia is also disheartened.

The news that the Liao State and the Western Xia were in civil strife at the same time encouraged the atmosphere of the people and Shilin talking about military affairs.

It's no longer the time for Renzong, who was forced to be almost desperate by the Liaoxia Erjue, so he could only curry favor with humble and generous coins. Today's Great Song Dynasty has 600,000 armor soldiers and has the power to destroy the country. In addition, several wars were won simply and the people were not harmed, and for the very noisy war against the Western Xia, there were far more supporters than opponents, and the only argument was only the difference between a quick attack and a slow attack.

As long as the Western Xia is defeated, the Liao State will not dare to go south to violate the border, and the peaceful days will be stable and eternal.

"If it weren't for this errand, in fact, Xia Guan would also want to go to Shaanxi to go to the army to fight." Li Dexin sighed to Han Gang, "My father was harmed by Yuan Hao, and this is an enmity that does not share the sky. If you can go to Xingqing Mansion in person and avenge your father, it will be a quick thing. ”

"Now in the Red Protection Bureau, you can't do without you."

Li Dexin sighed even more, "This New Year's Festival is so boring. It is also possible to rest for two days on Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I originally wanted to come to Longtu to pay New Year's greetings earlier, but who would have thought that the Bao Chi Bureau would not be able to stop for a day to plant pox for people. After the sacrifice stove, I can't say that I will have a holiday, but it is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and just as I was about to close the door, a few Hou Bo sued the Son of Heaven......"

Han Gang said with a smile: "Who doesn't worry about their children and grandchildren having accidents during the New Year's Festival? One day earlier, one day sooner rest assured. The princess and princess all had pox, and no one wanted to wait any longer. ”

"Longtu's lesson is that Dexin's vision is too shallow."

Li Dexin said a few words, left a gift, and left in a hurry. He has now brought his family to the capital, and several of his brothers also live in the capital. After Li Dexin recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, he had to sacrifice his ancestors on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he could not delay time.

Han Gang watched Li De leave, Han Yunniang came out of the small door in the hall, looked in the direction where the guests left, and muttered: "The last time I came to the house, I was careful, why did I dare to complain in front of the third brother today?" ”

For the guests who came to visit on Chinese New Year's Eve, Han Yunniang could not say that she had a good feeling. On the last day of the year, in addition to the people who go out to set off firecrackers, the cars and horses and pedestrians in the streets and alleys are almost extinct. And for a yamen like the Baochi Bureau who took advantage of Han Gang, Li Dexin became famous in it, and Han Yunniang was a little unwelcome.

"Isn't he busy? I don't even have a good rest, and I only have a holiday today. Han Gang helped explain two sentences, "Li Dexin, he can be regarded as a leader." The Son of Heaven is famous, and there is no royal family who does not know him. ”

As the doctor in charge of all matters in the Health and Welfare Bureau, Li Dexin's status has caught up with the Hanlin Medical Officer of the Taiyi Bureau. Entered the palace to plant pox for the six princes and Princess Shushou, and received thousands of rewards, and for the children of King Yong, he got a set of two-entry houses by the water. In addition, there are other high-ranking officials, eunuchs, and gifts from the emperor's relatives, all of which are rich and abnormal. In the blink of an eye, Li Dexin is already a successful person with a house, a car and status in the capital.

"Third brother, is there something going on?" Han Yunniang found that the melancholy between Han Gang's eyebrows was as light as a light mist but could not be resolved.

"I'm worried about Longxi. After the end of the year, the war will begin. Longxi will also recruit troops and dispatch the Tibetan army. Han Gang sighed, "Over the years, the patriarchs and elders of the Qingtang and Qiang tribes are basically rich now, and they are all delicate and expensive, how many of them are willing to lead the army?" The men in their clan are all the main force in the cotton field, and once the troops are dispatched, the lack of manpower will be a loss of tens of thousands of yuan. Sitting at home to watch the ball game, every other day to have a pleasant gamble, how comfortable is the small day? It's no longer time to be willing to risk your life to become rich. ”

"It's all the credit of the third brother."

Han Gang shook his head, he didn't know how many people in Lu Dao would believe his words, but he had already done what he could, and he had done his part more or less.

Guo Kui had agreed to go to Hebei the day before. According to the previous discussion in the Chongzheng Palace, Guo Kui should be an additional official, promoted to the deputy privy envoy, and went to Hebei to serve as a Xuanfu envoy.

However, some people still objected to this appointment, saying that the meaning of the target was too strong, and they were worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble, and Zhao also agreed. In Han Gang's opinion, he should be worried that once the Liao State could really be distracted and go south, Guo Kui would defeat them again, making it difficult to give the reward at the least.

It's really time to sigh.

It was already dusk, and the sound of firecrackers suddenly became louder, as if the switch was pressed, and the room began Han Gang got up and went back to the study, and took a letter out.

The family was already sitting in the inner hall, and the head of the family finally arrived, and the atmosphere was as warm as the fireworks outside.

"Is it Su Boxu's letter?" Waiting for Han Gang to sit down, Wang Yi looked at the cover of the letterhead in his hand, which had Su Ziyuan's signature on it.

"Before Li Yiyi came to visit, it happened that the letter sent by Boxu arrived." Han Gang said.

This is indeed a letter sent by Su Ziyuan from Yongzhou. In the letter, Su Ziyuan mentioned the current situation in Yongzhou in the past year. The household registration has already reached 60% of the pre-war level, and most of them will be completely restored after 20 or 30 years.

In addition, he also thanked Han Gang for sending people to Yongzhou to send pox vaccines, Jin Niang has already planted pox - when Han Gang was writing to the Son of Heaven for cowpox, he also sent someone to bring vaccines to Guangxi, Li Xin's three children, as well as Su Ziyuan's daughter and the daughter-in-law of the Han family, naturally the more insurance the better.

"Why are you so late? Is there something delayed? Yan Suxin asked. The boss is her own flesh and blood, and she cares about Yongzhou the most, "I didn't arrive so late last year." ”

"Who knows, it was not written in the letter, and the people he sent did not ask in detail." Han Gang shook his head.

Combined with the information collected by SF Express, as well as the letters from Li Xin and Su Ziyuan, Han Gang had a more urgent understanding of the situation in Guangxi. Most of the problems can basically be attributed to the scarcity of hukou, and whether Guangxi and Jiaozhou can settle down depends on the future population growth and whether they can meet the needs of the imperial court.

In Su Ziyuan's letter, Yongzhou's measures to increase household registration were explained in detail by him. After reading Han Gang's case, he was noncommittal. However, the letter from Yongzhou was not just one, Han Gang took out another letter from the envelope, handed it to the boss Han Zhong with a smile, "And this is for the eldest brother, it was written by Jin Niang herself." ”

The eldest of the family grabbed Han Gang's sleeve and shook it gently: "Daddy...... The daughter did not write to Brother Zhong and Brother Zheng. ”

When Han Gang and the four wives and concubines heard this, they laughed together. Zhou Nan smiled and hugged his daughter: "It's the golden lady of Guangxi." ”

"Isn't it time to give Jin Niang a girl's name?" Wang Yi asked, "After the turn of the year, the third brother and the three of them are about to make up for the seal, and they just have to give a serious name." ”

"Yes, third brother." Han Yunniang said, "The eldest brother and the second brother have names, and Jin Niang and the third brother can't still call them nicknames." ”

"I remember saying before that there is already a bell and a cymbal at home, and if there are three more, you can put together a team......" Han Gang said this, looking at the eyes of several wives and concubines who didn't smile at all, "It's just a joke, my own sons and daughters, but I am reluctant to let them become a laughing stock." ”

Han Gang dipped his hand in the tea and wrote three words on the table, Gong, Xuan, and Qin. Writing these three words, he smiled and said, "Actually, I have already thought about this matter." The third brother Han Qi, the fourth brother Han Xuan, and the fifth brother Han Qin, so let's call it. ”

The character Qin is a commonly used character, but the words 锬 and Xuan are unfamiliar. Wang Yi looked at Han Gang, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, not asking this irresponsible father who joked about his children's names, but called the maid who was waiting for the messenger next to him, "Go and get the words to explain the words." ”

Said that Wen Jiezi was the dictionary at this time, and as soon as the book arrived, Wang Yi began to look it up.

The wedge is a spear, and the xuan is an ancient tripod-lifting utensil, which is shaped like a hook and can be used to lift the two ears of the tripod.

Two words can't be considered good, but at least they are thousands of times stronger than the name Han Gang gave when he joked before. Several wives and concubines nodded to each other, and none of them objected to this proposal.

"As for Jin Niang, she is also ranked from the brothers." Han Gang thought for a moment, "The bell rings for one person, and the word gong is good." How about being called Han Qiang? ”

It's still not a good name, Han Gang doesn't have the talent to be named, and there are few people who are suitable for making a name in the word Cong. However, Wang Yi and they did not object.

After the New Year, he wrote a letter to Longxi and asked a few children to register their names on the family tree—even though there was only Han Gang, the only seedling—and the matter had a result.

The sound of firecrackers continued to sound like spring water, starting with the three older children, and the people in the Han Mansion knelt down and kowtowed to Han Gang and his wife in batches to say hello. Then take this year's red envelope.

In the second year of Yuanfeng, it has finally arrived.
