When the train from Henan to Shandong arrived at Jinan Station, there was a red and blue roof, and the dazzling people were in front of them. Shandong's civil and military science roads, and even the alternate Taoist officers distributed by the provincial government, were all here to welcome the commander.

After Songjiang incident, not only did Zhao Guanhou make a fortune, but more importantly, his face was also very glorious. He beat the vassal officials with a governor, and then ran away in anger and went to the concession to enjoy the funeral. The result was that the vassal officials returned to Beijing and appointed another appointment, but the governor remained unmoved. This was equivalent to the court bowing his head and surrendering to local officials. This was a rare thing after the Dajin implemented the new policy and accepted the power of local governors.

Moreover, the personnel transported back from Songjiang have a constant source of material resources. The fact that the Grand Marshal was in Songjiang and one treasure crushed a bank was spread in the Shandong officialdom. Although the Shandong officialdom has banned smoking on a large scale, the gambling trend is still very strong, and many officials who like to gambling are itchy. When talking about this gambling, they are all over the place. When they pay homage to the Grand Marshal, this obedience was not done.

The scene was perfunctory and took a long time to go. When he arrived at the inner house, it was already afternoon. He went straight to Fengzhi's room and saw that Fengzhi was sensible in the yard, and taught Jingci to punch. He smiled and said, "Why, senior sister wants to teach this bastard to practice kung fu? He is so naughty, and he can't go to the room to remove the tiles after he knows how to work."

"It's no harm for a boy to be sarcastic. It's a good boy to be a good boy to be sarcastic. I've been sarcastic since I was a child. At that time, my father always said I was a tomboy."

Feng Zhi said while asking the girl to carry Jingci out, then twisted a towel to wipe Zhao Guanhou's face, and asked, "Do you use supper here or go to the big kitchen? I'm clumsy and can't cook anything delicious. If you want to eat it here, I can only give you pancakes and cook a few more dishes."

"Sister sister makes some home-cooked meals. I like it the most, but I don't have to hurry to eat. Come on, I'll talk to you first."

Feng Zhi stood beside him and naturally leaned her head on her husband's shoulder. "You haven't eaten here for a long time, and you still think you're tired of eating and don't want to eat anymore."

"I can't eat enough in my life, so why don't I like it? To be honest, the dishes in Songjiang are not very suitable for my taste. It's the best food in my hometown."

"Really?" Feng Zhi was happy. "You really don't like eating Songjiang dishes? That's great. If you like eating hometown dishes, I will cook them for you every day. You can eat whatever you want."

"Let's talk about the matter first. Have you come from the second and third aunts?"

"I've been here, and I've brought a letter to you. " Fengzhi took out the letter from a jewelry box. There were no words on the letter, as if it was an empty envelope containing white paper. But Zhao Guanhou asked for vinegar and soaked it in vinegar. The handwriting was naturally displayed.

"This is written in rice soup, and you can't see it without jealousy. The Yuan family's buddies are really good at doing things. This errand is done well. You turn around and say to the two sisters, I will protect their men's future. Give them five thousand silvers to them, which is a small reward. After the work is over, there will be another reward."

Feng Zhi has recognized a lot of words in the past two years. Looking at the words on it, he can recognize more than half of them. He asked, "Do you want to do it now and arrest them all?"

"What are you doing to catch them? This time I went to Henan. My brother-in-law told me about fishing, which made me deeply understand. First, let the fish force and let them slap them. When the water is stirred up, it will not be too late for us to do it. It is hooked on their gills and the thread is in our hands, and there is nothing scary."

Feng Zhi seemed to understand it, but she could understand the general meaning. She nodded and said, "Anyway, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say."

"Okay... Then I say, we have to do this now!" Zhao Guanhou had already picked her up amid Feng Zhi's laughter, and Feng Zhi, who had always been generous, responded enthusiastically without any hesitation. As Cuiyu became pregnant, her pressure became increasingly greater and greater. She needed to give birth to a child for her junior brother to stabilize her position and please him.

The next day, the governor's yamen finally resumed its office work. Xia Manjiang and four other staff members were all sitting, waiting for Zhao Guanhou to assign orders. During this period, four friends of the sects cooperated with the official affairs, and there were no mistakes in official affairs. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Guanhou entered the door, he saluted and thanked the four of them. The four friends of the sects did not dare to accept it, and all stood up to return the salute and congratulated Zhao Guanhou.

Not only was Zhao Guanhou safe and sound, the court could not move him at all. On the contrary, because he made contributions to rectifying Songjiang's economy, he rewarded two strings of court beads. Although this thing was not worth much, it was the court's intention, and he took the initiative to show his goodwill and hoped to adjust the relationship. On the other hand, Zhao Guanhou protected the future of the four aides and never refused.

He said again: "Tonight, my family will hold a banquet, and all four of them will come. If anyone doesn't come, they will not be able to give face."

When asked about official business, Li Runnian said, "It's nothing important about official business. The farmers' associations and the Thousand People's Associations in various places were originally organized by us. When we heard that the adults came back, we naturally stopped. As for the bandits in Yimeng, they suddenly disappeared."

Zhao Guanhou naturally knew what the situation was for those bandits, so he would not talk about this issue, and then asked about the taxes and the situation on the market, especially when there were more than 100,000 people at once, so the resettlement issue should not be underestimated.

Xia Manjiang said: "This is easy to do. According to your instructions, I set up a factory for Mrs. Zou, called Shandong Second Textile and Second Spinning Factory, where the workers can place some of them. Some of the other workers are snatched by people. They are all skilled workers, and they don't need training, and they can do things at the same time. This is a good man that is difficult to find even with lanterns in the factory. For such workers, we will have tens of thousands of dollars, and we in Shandong are not short of employment. There is a huge gap in Shandong, so there is no need for labor."

Originally, Meng Siyuan was the first to set up a factory in Shandong, but now Shandong has set up a large number of textile and yarn mills, which can digest a large number of workers. As for those who cannot digest it, it is not difficult. There is a refugee shelter in Shandong, which can provide food first and then make plans. If you are not good enough, you can also work in places such as canning factories, bedding factories, etc. In short, with the current strength of Shandong, it is not difficult to arrange it at all.

However, there are still difficulties at the moment. The most important ones are the Shandong Advisory Bureau and the Three Saints Mansions. At the beginning of its establishment, it was originally part of the new policy of the court, and it was an attempt to co-govern the model of gentry and government administration. At the beginning of its establishment, the cooperation between the two was still pleasant, and the gentry also helped the government greatly.

However, when the Advisory Bureau was first established, its purpose was not to manage Shandong province alone, but to one day, the Advisory Bureau's Speaker must be a member of parliament. At that time, he could control the government affairs and guide the world. As a gentry, he had great power in marching, and everyone was thinking about this good thing.

The establishment of the royal cabinet was like a blow to these people. Even the stupidest person, he could understand that the so-called constitutionalism was just a trick of fools. From the beginning, the court never thought of governing the world with gentry.

The resentment of joy turns from hope and despair comes with the anger of the gentry. The Shandong Consulting Bureau began to constrain Shandong's government affairs, and the local work was implemented, and the resistance to increasing.

Zou Jingze also asked the government for power to increase and to form a militia to protect the safety of the countryside. There were militias, and there must be weapons, but the arms management in Shandong arsenal was strictly managed and no one had the right to withdraw them without authorization. The guards were foreign soldiers, and the power of the gentry could not be achieved, and several disputes occurred between the two. According to the latest situation, Zou Jingze seemed to have boarded a line from a Prussian foreign company and purchased nearly a hundred guns.

With the current public security situation in Shandong, there is no need to use so many foreign guns to defend themselves. Their intentions make people have to doubt it. Secondly, there are Yan, Ya, and San Sheng Mansions in Shandong, which have extremely large power. Even the county town where Yan Sheng Gong Mansion is located, the county magistrate must be selected by Yan Sheng Gong Mansion, and outsiders are not allowed to intervene.

He influenced public opinion and manipulated public opinion, and often suppressed it in the name of Taoism, which made people unable to refute it. Before, his relationship with the Shandong government was still harmonious and did not violate each other, but recently, the Three Saints Mansions have also begun to criticize Shandong's policies.

There are dozens of private newspapers in Shandong now, several of which have published Sansheng Mansion’s criticism of Shandong silk reeling factories, believing that it is depressed and should be closed immediately.

Wang Hexuan said: "There are all female workers in the silk reel factory. The women's life is very miserable, especially the silk reel room, boiling water and hot steam, which is like the hot heat all year round. The heat is occasionally windy, and the silk reel room is hot and stuffy. Once you go in, you will be soaked in a meal. In order not to go there, some female workers have to please the foreman. What is their dependence on to please the foreman? It is not their natural capital? It is inevitable that men and women have a small braid, and they are criticized, saying that they want to let women go home and not come out to work, otherwise people's hearts will be devastated and the world will be very bad. In fact, in the end, Shandong is going to establish a Confucius Church, advocate retro and emphasize ancient etiquette, use us as a gift, and give us a warning."

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said, "These two things are not small. We have to discuss how to solve these problems. I am not good at the silk reeling factory. I have never visited it after it is completed. I will make a charter. All this hard work will be left to male workers, and female workers will only do idle. After all, men can be naked in the workshop, but women cannot. How can women do that? Confucius and Mr. Zou will slowly find ways to deal with it. In short, no matter how they make trouble, I don't care. I want to take the power of Shandong. There is no hurry to do business. We have dinner first and then discuss solutions."

During the evening banquet, Zhao Guanhou specially asked Ajiu to serve the banquet, intending to match her and Xia Manjiang's good things. However, the two met, but they did not develop as Zhao Guanhou thought. Although it confirmed that Ajiu's sister Qiaoyun was the one who was in love with Xia Manjiang. But next, when asked whether he intended to let Ajiu replace his sister, he was rejected by Xia Manjiang.

Qiaoyun is understanding, gentle and considerate, so that Xia Manjiang can relax physically and mentally. Although Ajiu is a red apprentice, he is not very good at taking care of others and needs someone to take care of him.

What Xia Manjiang wanted was a good wife and mother who could be with him and help him take care of his daily life, rather than a beautiful and charming Xiaoxing who needed to take care of himself. He was not satisfied with this matter. Ajiu also thought that Xia Manjiang was too old and was not a good match. As soon as he mentioned this matter, there was no further information.

However, Zhao Guanhou's care made Xia Manjiang very helpful and couldn't help it. He mentioned his current difficulties. He married a wife in his hometown, but the couple had a bad relationship and did not interact very early. Not long ago, his two sons from his country came to him and found out that their wife had already passed away and that their two sons could not survive in their hometown, so they asked their father to find a solution.

Father and son are by nature. No matter what, Xia Manjiang will not treat his own flesh and blood badly. With his identity and ability, it is not difficult to arrange the two of them. However, after the father and son talk, he found that his two sons were educated in a new way. In addition to constitutionalism, they were driven away by Tartars. They almost persuaded me to join Ge Ming, so he would not dare to keep anyone.

It was also because he absolutely trusted Zhao Guanhou. This kind of thing that might lead to beheading was also said in the clear place, and he spread his hands and said, "What should I do if this... I will give them some money, which can be done, but if they take the money, if they go to cause trouble for me again, how can I be worthy of the coach?"

Zhao Guanhou smiled and said, "This matter is nothing. I don't care what they are studying. I only recognize you, Master Xia's son. Because your father respects his son, he should also look at them differently. I think about it..." He pondered for a moment and wrote a note, "I used the seal of the guard in the afternoon to give the two young men a thousand taels of travel expenses to send them to Di Ninth Town. Xu Shaozhen, the commander of the Ninth Town, paid me a salary to borrow money from me, and he had to pay me back this favor. The atmosphere there is relatively open, and the son will guarantee that he will not suffer any losses when he gets there."

Xia Manjiang bowed and thanked him repeatedly, went home to call his two sons and thanked him in person to Zhao Guanhou. These two men looked handsome and were very mighty, but they were of a soldier's spirit, and it was their wish to join the army. When the table was dispersed, Ajiu suddenly pulled Zhao Guanhou's sleeve, "Master, can I talk to you a few words."

"I said, you are not a slave, and you don't have to call me master. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Ajiu lowered his head and said for a moment: "I am in Songjiang, and I think I am a red apprentice, and I have a high-minded attitude. Later, I met the third lady and realized what a beauty is. Now even Mr. Xia does not want me, but it can be seen that Ajiu is an ugly girl who no one wants. So... I want to beg the master, give me a bite of food, and leave me to be a girl in the mansion... The third lady should not be around me, I... I want to be like Feng Xi, as her confidant."

She was talking about whether she was a cook like Feng Xi or a son like Feng Xi, which was hard to ask, but seeing her shy look, the latter had a bigger idea. Zhao Guanhou didn't want to find a bag and entered the door, so he thought for a moment.

"Ajiu, you are just old this year and you can't settle down. So, I'll send you to study first. There is a Women's Normal School in Jinan. The principal there is a good friend of me. If you go there to study, she will definitely take you in... Yes, her surname is Yu, I call her Yu Meiren, just call her Principal Yu. I'll write to you and send you there. After you graduate, let's talk about how you place it. If you were still willing to stay in the mansion at that time, I wouldn't reject you."
