Yang Fan didn't know about the Guanzhong family's plan because he rushed to the dock early in the morning.
Of course, even if Yang Fan knew it, he would not pay attention to it.
He is a mediocre person who does not attract jealousy. Who makes him the most handsome boy in the Tang Dynasty!
What's more, no matter what the plan is, it will only fall apart in the face of absolute strength.
The seven-day period agreed with Ming Changfeng has arrived, and Yang Fan feels that talents are more important.
So, early in the morning, I dragged the little heroine Yue Luo to the dock to wait.
In fact, Yue Luo really didn't want to be with Yang Fan.
In her heart, staying with Yang Fan, a monster, was a bit stressful.
Ever since Yang Fan spent a day cultivating "Qi", Yue Luo has been hit hard.
Therefore, after she came back from assassinating the Jiangnan nobles, she almost stayed alone in the yard and practiced hard.
Yue Luo is usually very active, how could she endure such loneliness, so when Yang Fan asked her to come with her, she agreed half-heartedly.
And Yang Fan's wives are about to give birth, so of course they won't go together.
Although Yue Luo has a bit of a temper and always loses his temper like a child, who wants others to have a good grandpa and himself has good martial arts!
Able people will always receive special treatment.
So, after washing up, Yang Fan led a group of people to the dock without stopping.
Standing side by side with Yue Luo on the pier, Yang Fan felt a little more expectant as he watched the large ship arriving on the river.
The seven-day appointment has arrived, and Ming Changfeng should not miss it.
Now the construction of various projects in Huating County has been fully launched.
Salt factories, iron factories, paper factories, cement factories and other workshops began to be built one after another and started production one after another.
Nowadays, the stalls in Huating County are getting bigger and bigger, and talents are becoming more and more scarce.
Especially professional and technical talents are extremely scarce.
People like Ming Changfeng have a complete knowledge inheritance of "Mo Sect", and they are obviously excellent craftsmen.
Now that Huating County is full of businesses waiting to flourish, Yang Fan certainly has to show respect.
More importantly, Yang Fan wanted to erect the landmark building on the Huangpu River in Huating County more than 1,000 years in advance and make it a benchmark for the world.
Except for people like the old man, Yang Fan really couldn't think of anyone who dared to build a few hundred meters high building in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago.
What's more, as more and more people flow into Huating County, how to rationally plan housing, education and other issues in Huating County has become a constant problem.
In a word, although there are many people coming to Huating County, there are too few literate people in this era.
Almost 99% of people can't even write their own names. In addition to contributing, they need someone to take care of them.
Otherwise, if you can’t even understand the planning drawings and process requirements, how can you talk about building Huating County?
Therefore, talent is particularly important.
Especially for professional talents in construction, Yang Fan is even more urgent.
Perhaps in the eyes of the ancients, architectural talents were heretical and far inferior to scholars who studied Confucianism.
But Yang Fan knows very well that the progress of a society and the richness of material civilization are inseparable from these heresy.
Even professional craftsmen such as physics and chemistry play a decisive role in promoting social progress.
Although there are schools in Huating County, talents cannot be cultivated overnight.
Therefore, these tribesmen of Yueluo are particularly important.
As the ship slowly approached the dock, Ming Chang Peak stood proudly on the bow, waving to Yue Luo from a distance.
Yue Luo, who had been depressed during this period, was already jumping up and down on the dock with joy, shouting for the tribe to come.
Yang Fan twitched the corner of his mouth. Although this girl looked innocent, she was merciless in killing people some time ago. It would be better not to mess with the little girl in the future.
As the ship docked, Ming Changfeng was the first to step off the ship, followed closely by dozens or hundreds of people.
Among them, the two people following him were the most conspicuous.
One of these two people is a young man with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel. He is dressed in clean and refreshing blue clothes, with an air of elegance blowing in his face.
This person's temperament and demeanor are the best choice.
Even among the children of aristocratic families, it is rare to see such a leisurely person.
Especially that handsome face, only Wu Wang Li Ke, who was famous for his grace and appearance, could compete with him. It was really the only one Yang Fan had seen in his life.
Yang Fan was a little depressed.
How come there are so many beautiful men in the Tang Dynasty, such as Shangguan Yi, Li Ke, and that beautiful monk.
Yang Fan could only comfort himself.
We base ourselves on our talents and abilities, not on these superficial things.
Thinking like this made Yang Fan feel a lot better.
As for the other person wearing a white veil, although his face cannot be seen clearly.
However, it can be seen from the graceful figure of this person that he should be a woman.
I thought that Yue Luo became a nymphomaniac after seeing a beautiful man.
Little did he know that this little girl's light figure had already thrown herself into the arms of the man wearing a veil.
Yang Fan only thought that the other party was a relative of the little girl Yue Luo, so Yang Fan didn't pay any attention to it.
Instead, he waved to the officials behind him, and all the officials stepped forward to greet him as a sign of respect.
"Mr. Ming, I am looking forward to the stars and the moon. I have finally waited for you. You are welcome!"
After saying that, he greeted him with a smile, and at the same time wanted to go forward and hold his hand to show his closeness.
Unexpectedly, Ming Changfeng didn't buy it. Instead, he said displeasedly: "Humph, I'm not old enough to need support. If you use your hypocritical tricks on others, I can't afford it."
Yang Fan was not embarrassed. He chuckled and said, "Your martial arts skills are outstanding. You can also fly into the sky and escape from the earth. You are very strong. Of course you don't need help from me."
"Ahem, this junior just wants to show the joy in his heart, and at the same time make you and the tribe feel like they are home."
"Now you don't even give this junior a chance. It's really embarrassing for me."
Ming Changfeng sneered: "Are you going to be embarrassed? In my opinion, there will never be anyone thicker-skinned than you in the entire Tang Dynasty."
It turned out that Ming Changfeng heard that Yang Fan actually used all his skills to cooperate and share.
And for the sake of a steel-making technique, he brought in all his clan members.
Ming Changfeng knew that he had been deceived by this boy, so he was a little aggrieved.
Yang Fan seemed unknown, pretending to be aggrieved, and said sadly: "Mr. Ming said this to me, doesn't it make me sad?"
"Although the juniors have resorted to some tricks, they are only for the sake of a better life for the people. Is this wrong?"
"If this is wrong, then you might as well slap this junior to death!"
"Besides, this will also give your people a place to live and work in peace and contentment, so that their knowledge can be put to use."
Ming Changfeng was extremely speechless for a moment when he saw Yang Fan being so obedient despite getting a bargain.
I really didn't expect that Yang Fan, as a high-ranking official in a border area, would be so shameless.
Facing such a person, what can Ming Changfeng do? He can only say helplessly: "Humph, I have brought some of the clan members here as agreed, you can decide what to do!"
After saying that, he turned to wave to the two young men who were chatting and laughing with Yue Luo, and then introduced: "This is my grandson Ming Jin, who will be responsible for the management of the clan from now on... The other one is my apprentice... …”
Yang Fan felt a little different when he heard the name of the handsome young man.
Minjin?
This name is too tacky!
Your fresh and refined temperament as a young man is totally inconsistent with that.
Ming Changfeng obviously didn't want to introduce the people who wore veils, and just introduced them briefly.
Yang Fan was not a gossip, so he naturally had no desire to investigate. He just kept saying with a smile on his face: "It is my honor to have you come to Huating County. I welcome you."
With a breathtaking smile on his face, the young man clasped his fists and said politely: "The Governor is too complimentary. Ming Jin is very grateful that you can take us in."
"By the way, my roommate is naughty. It is said that she once offended the Governor. However, my roommate is young and ignorant. I hope the Governor will not take offense and treat her with care in the future."
Hearing this, Mingluo pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, how can you say that to me in front of outsiders? The last time I assassinated him, it was because someone else deceived me, okay?"
"Besides, I have helped him a lot during this time. If you don't believe me, just ask him!"
After speaking, he stretched out a slender jade finger and pointed at Yang Fan.
Just when no one was paying attention, Mingluo waved his pink fist at Yang Fan and warned Yang Fan not to talk nonsense.
It was obvious that the little girl Yue Luo was very afraid of this young man.
For some reason, Yang Fan couldn't bear this scene, so he coughed dryly, looked at the young man and said, "Brother Ming, are you a little harsh on your roommate? Luo'er is still young after all, and he was deceived into making some small mistakes. It’s excusable, and besides, I’m not hurt at all…”
Unexpectedly, Ming Jin didn't buy it. Instead, he bowed with a solemn face and said, "The Governor is very tolerant, and I admire him. However, a mistake is a mistake. It has nothing to do with age, and it is not a reason to shirk responsibility."
Yang Fan's face suddenly changed, and he actually bowed deeply to the young man and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ming understands righteousness so well, I have learned from him."
Indeed, Yang Fan really didn't expect Ming's tutor to be so strict.
After hearing Yang Fan's words, Ming Jin's face lightened up.
However, there was an air of calmness and authority between his brows, and he turned to Yue Luo and said calmly: "Luo'er, although you are young, as a descendant of the Ming family, you should maintain your integrity and punish you for copying the Book of Rites. Once, is it acceptable?"
"oh!"
Unexpectedly, Mingluo not only did not dare to refute this kind of punishment, but instead responded obediently and stood honestly beside the veiled woman.
After the punishment, Ming Jin changed his face again, looked at the little girl and asked with a doting look on his face: "Grand Governor, this girl usually doesn't have any rules. I'm afraid she will bring you a lot of trouble, right?"
Min Luo's straight nose wrinkled and he winked at Yang Fan.
It means that if you dare to say bad things about me, I want you to look good!
Seeing this, Yang Fan smiled and said: "Miss Luo'er is very smart and has solved many problems for me..."
Yang Fan was not talking nonsense about this.
No matter what, this little girl not only taught her martial arts.
Moreover, he shocked the Jiangnan gentry, so there was merit even without hard work!
The group of people exchanged greetings while walking towards Huating County.
Ming Jin came to Huating County for the first time. He walked along the long street paved with cement along the river and looked at the surroundings with interest.
At noon, Yang Fan hosted a banquet for Ming Changfeng and his party at the Governor's Mansion, which could be regarded as a formal invitation to this group of people to join his construction team.
After three drinks, looking at Ming Changfeng who still looked depressed, Yang Fan said with an expression like "I'm thinking about you":
"Ming Lao, now the whole Jiangnan industry is waiting for prosperity. Your people will never insult his talent by coming here."
"But the boy always feels guilty. How about the younger generation using your orthodox identity as Old Mo Sect to declare your righteousness to the outside world, and the name of your book can be passed down to future generations? What do you think?"
Ming Changfeng is an old man. How could he not see the purpose of Yang Fan's actions? He immediately sneered: "You are really becoming more and more hypocritical. Do you want our Ming family to be famous for future generations? I think you want to use my name as Ming family." Let’s recruit those Momen craftsmen who don’t dare to show up, right?”
Ming Changfeng was so happy that he turned into a goblin. How could he not know what Yang Fan was thinking?
Yang Fan smiled coquettishly: "Look at what you said, why is it so ugly? The younger generation released the news of Ming's re-emergence just to recruit more talents and benefit the people."
Ming Changfeng's eyes bulged, and his beard was trembling with anger!
He said it as if if Ming Changfeng refused to let him use Ming's trademark, he would be a sinner in the world.
Ming Changfeng was so angry that he really wanted to slap this bastard to death.
This guy is so shameless!
Looking at his grandfather who was turning blue with anger, Ming Jin looked a little surprised.
In his heart, his grandfather was omnipotent. He never expected that Yang Fan would be so angry that he was speechless.
As a result, Ming Jin is full of expectations for his life after coming to Huating County.
After drinking and eating, Ming Changfeng's tribesmen were taken down to rest.
In fact, Yang Fan had already arranged a place for the Ming family to stay, just over Nanshan in Huating County.
It is far away from the city, with green trees on the mountains, beautiful scenery, and gurgling streams at the foot of the mountains, quiet and elegant.
For people like the Ming clan who have been reclusive for a long time, it is the best place to stay.
Ming Changfeng was very satisfied with Yang Fan's arrangement.
For the Ming family, becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao is their supreme pursuit.
The pleasures of the world have long been put aside. He just wants to find a peaceful residence in Yang Fan, so that they can calm down and carefully understand the way of heaven.
Ming Jin obviously understood Yang Fan's painstaking efforts, so he raised his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, the Governor, for your thoughtful consideration and finding such a quiet and elegant residence for our Ming family."
"Especially facing the river, you will definitely be happy watching the roaring fish, dragons and wind. Moreover, this environment is not too different from the original life on overseas islands. You are really attentive."
"It's just that my people have been away from the secular world for a long time. They may be a little rude in etiquette, and some details of life and style of behavior may be different. Please understand me in the future, Grand Governor."
In the future, he will live under the jurisdiction of others, so Mingjin naturally does not want his tribe to be attacked by others because of their living habits.
Yang Fan naturally agreed to such a simple request.
