Chapter 536 Accepting the New Mansion
Fifteen days later, the sea boat that Fan Ning took finally arrived in Quanzhou. The two large ships sailed into Jinjiang, and everyone came to the side of the boat to look at the seaside county where they will live for many years. The county is very warm, with a slight sea breeze blowing, Cool and comfortable, it's refreshing.

"Husband, can the Xinfu house be seen from the river?"

"Of course, we have our own pier. Unfortunately, it's afternoon now. If it's early in the morning, you can see the waterfall in the morning glow, and it turns out to be purple. That's why the mansion is also called Zichuan Mansion, a famous mansion in Quanzhou."

At this time, the younger sister Adora rushed over with Aya, pointed at a mansion in the distance and shouted: "Brother, there is a waterfall in that mansion!"

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

A Duo said longingly: "I'm so envious! Whose mansion actually has a waterfall."

Fan Ning and Zhu Pei glanced at each other, and they smiled knowingly. Under Zhu Pei's enlightenment, A Duo had recovered her liveliness, and was no longer disappointed because Zhu Qi didn't come to see her off.

At this moment, two large ships stopped slowly on a private pier, which was just big enough to hold two three-thousand-stone passenger ships. A Duo's eyes widened suddenly. Isn't this the mansion of Flying Waterfall?Could it be.
She jumped up excitedly, wishing she could grow her wings and fly in.

"We are here, everyone is ready to disembark!"

Fan Ning picked up his daughter Zhen'er and stepped off the big boat first. In front of him was a river bank built with stones. The river bank was two feet wide, and a row of mango trees were planted along the river bank. With the stone slabs, the river bank looks clean and tidy.

Two feet away is a long fence, more than one foot high, and the outside of the fence is full of bamboo, which is quite elegant. At this time, Lin Junsheng had already received the news, and he had been waiting for him on the pier for a long time.

He handed a vermilion lacquer box full of keys to Fan Ning and said with a smile: "The work was completed ten days ago, and it has been cleaned up. It is just waiting for the envoy to take over the house!"

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Mr. Lin has worked hard, and I will settle the settlement with you tomorrow."

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

Lin Junsheng saw that there were many female relatives, and it was inconvenient for him to enter the house, so he went out and handed the key to Fan Ning, "This is the key to the back house, so I will take my leave first, if you have any dissatisfaction, tell me tomorrow, and I will correct it as soon as possible !"

He bowed to Fanning, took his leave and left in a hurry.

Fan Ning gave the keys to the gate and the side door to Butler Liu, and Butler Liu led a large group of servants along the courtyard wall to enter the mansion through the front gate.

Fan Ning stepped forward and opened the door of the back house. Jian Meizi helped him push open the door, and everyone exclaimed. In front of them was a large green grassland full of colorful flowers. There is a small woods, and there is a pavilion next to the woods, with a straight stone road in the middle, leading to the hill in front.

Zhen'er struggled down the mountain and ran towards the grassland, laughing and running, Ouyang Qian asked in surprise, "Why would my husband think of building a grassland?"

Fan Ning chuckled, "It used to be a farmland, but later it became a wasteland with overgrown weeds. I asked them to pull out all the weeds and plant young grasses of dwarf varieties. You can ride horses here."

Seeing his younger sister A Duo and his daughter picking a large bouquet of small wild flowers, Fan Ning said with a smile: "I'll play when I have time, go to the mansion and find a room."

Everyone walked along the stone road in the middle to the inner house. In front of them was the waterfall cliff. The cliff was not high, only about four feet high, equivalent to a four-story building. The cliff was covered with various vines and medicinal materials, and a mountain spring was three feet long. Flying down the crevices of the rocks, forming a thin waterfall.

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

There is also a wall in the inner house, which is the original wall, but it has been changed into a hollow flower wall. After passing through a round door, a green lake suddenly appeared in front of them. The lake is about five acres, full of lotus flowers, waterfalls It just pours into the lake, and there is a promenade with eaves on both sides, and exquisite small courtyards are located behind the promenade, and this promenade connects eight small courtyards together.

In fact, Fan Ning showed the blueprints to everyone on the way, and allocated the courtyard. Fan Ning’s mother Zhang Sanniang and younger sister A Duo, mother-in-law Wang Shi took Zhu Zhe, Jian Meizi and four female guards to live on the left. He lives with his wife, concubine and children on the right side. The eight courtyards are semicircular, just distributed around the hills and lakes.

The yards have already been divided, so there is no need to say anything. Everyone went to their own yards. There are four yards on the right, one for Zhu Pei, Ouyangqian, and Aya, and the other is Fanning's inner study.

Everyone was busy with their little maids, while Fan Ning walked into his inner study, which was the smallest courtyard with only three rooms, the patio was paved with stone slabs, and a clump of bamboo was planted on both sides.

The house still used the old dipterowood furniture, but when he entered the study, Fan Ning was stunned. The furniture in his inner study was actually made of ebony, which is a precious wood that is even more valuable than rosewood. , Fan Ning shook his head, this Lin Junsheng is really good at pleasing people, this five-piece ebony study set cannot be bought in the capital market, and even if it can be sold, it is at least worth more than [-] pieces.

The first day was spent in all kinds of busyness, everyone was exhausted when they went to bed, and even dinner was delivered outside, which was a simple solution.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone started the busy work of the next day, and Fan Ning came to the Overseas Economic and Strategic Mansion. This time when he returned to Beijing, the Zhizheng Hall agreed that the officials of the new overseas counties should be transferred from the Overseas Economic and Strategic Mansion. For this reason, Zhizheng Tang transferred 57 alternate officials to the overseas economic strategy, bringing the total number of officials in the Economic Strategy Mansion to [-].

Except for Fan Ning, who is a third-rank official, only the deputy envoy Li Mu is a fifth-rank official, the judge Luo Jiang is a sixth-rank official, and the others are all low-level officials of eighth or ninth rank.

Walking into the official room and sitting down, Chen Zhen, the staff member, brought a stack of documents. Fan Ning saw that his expression was a little unnatural, concealed, and felt strange. After taking a closer look at him, he found that his left cheekbone had a large bruise. .

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chen Zhen had no choice but to say in a low voice, "I went out in such a hurry this morning that I accidentally fell and hit my face on the threshold."

"It seems a little swollen, is it okay?"

"The medicine has been applied, and the swelling has subsided a lot, so it's okay."

Fan Ning nodded, and stopped asking. He flipped through the documents and asked, "Is there any news from the Ryukyu Mansion?"

"A few days ago, an express letter was sent, saying that some Japanese laborers were infected with miasma, and more than 100 people fell down, and they were bitten by a poisonous snake, and nine people died. Another letter was sent yesterday, saying that the laborers who were poisoned by the miasma have all recovered. However, six more people died after being bitten by the poisonous snake, and Zhang Zhi County begs to be equipped with anti-venomous snake medicine as soon as possible."

Fan Ning frowned, and said to Chen Zhen: "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 find a way, they can grind the realgar into powder, put it in a small bag, and then send it to Zhang Ying one by one. There are five or six bags of realgar powder sewn on the trousers, and the same goes on the clothes, don’t complain to me about anything, you have to find a way to solve it yourself.”

Chen Zhen handed the two letters to Fan Ning, and said: "It seems that the poisonous snake couldn't bear the smell of realgar, and when it fled in a panic, it fell from the tree and landed on the worker's neck, causing it by biting randomly."

"Then give each laborer a big bamboo hat to block the sun and poisonous snakes!"

Fan Ning immediately responded, requesting the Jinglue Mansion to immediately purchase [-] bamboo hats and send them to the Ryukyu Mansion.

Chen Zhen went down to write a letter for Fan Ning, when Sun Xuan Ce and Zhang Bo came in, Fan Ning looked outside the door and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with his face?"

Zhang Bo held back his laughter and said in a low voice: "Last night he and some officials went to Die Lian Hua Le Fang to drink and have sex with prostitutes, and when he returned home, he was served by his wife's family law. Today he wanted to ask for leave, but the envoy wanted to come, so he couldn't help it. I had to come limping."

Fan Ning couldn't help laughing, "What kind of family law is so powerful?"

"I've heard people say that it's a violent beating with a stick, but usually they don't hit the face. This time, his wife may have missed it."

Fan Ning shook his head, the Lion's Roar of the River East is really powerful, but Chen Jichang deserved it, even though his wife was at home, he went to drink and have sex with prostitutes, isn't he courting death?

Fan Ning stopped mentioning the matter, and said to the two: "The Zhizheng Hall finally approved the establishment of five counties in Liuqiu Prefecture. In addition to Liuqiu County, Liuzhong County, and Liunan County, Jinmen County will be built in the north, and Quandong County will be built in the south. Including Liuli County and Penghu County, Liuqiu Prefecture has a total of seven counties under its jurisdiction. In addition to Penghu County and Liuqiu County, there are five new counties to be built. I plan to select [-] officials from Liuqiu Prefecture. You two Responsible for instructing them on how to build a new county, let them use Kunzhou's experience."

We knew it, and the two saluted and went down.

At this time, Chen Zhen walked in and handed the written reply to Fan Ning. Fan Ning read it, signed his name, handed it to him, and said to him, "Give me the detailed resumes of the officials of the Jinglue Mansion. need!"
