Xie Yu led everyone from Yingzhou all the way south.
Entering Henan from Weihui Prefecture, then passing Kaifeng Prefecture, and finally arriving at Fucheng County in Guide Prefecture.
This is where Xie Yu's fiefdom is located.
When passing through Kaocheng on the way, Xie Yu and others stayed for a few days. He inquired about the whereabouts of Yu Hua and others in Kaocheng, and was finally told that Yu's family was not coming here.
Xie Yu became even more worried.
"Perhaps my father took Wenjun to Qiantang! There are so many people in the Yu Family Nursing Home, so everything will be fine."
Bai Xiaonan could see the worry on Xie Yu's face, and she could only use this excuse to comfort Xie Yu.
Xie Yu nodded, forcing himself not to think about things in the worst direction.
Yingzhou is almost two thousand miles away from Fucheng. Xie Yu and his party traveled day and night, and it took almost half a month to reach their destination.
Fortunately, when I was in the capital before, I received a lot of rewards. Xie Yu still had seven or eight hundred taels of silver notes on him at the time. Therefore, there is enough for people and horses to consume along the way.
However, when he arrived in Fucheng, Xie Yu had very few silver notes left. If they don't think of a way to make money, the brothers who follow Xie Yu may go hungry.
"You guys wait outside the city while I go to the magistrate to hand over the edict and ask for the specific location of the fiefdom. Let's talk about resettlement."
After giving instructions to Liu Zi and others, Xie Yu took Bai Xiaonan into the city.
After asking around for a while, Xie Yu finally came to the county government office and explained his purpose to several government officials.
When they heard that the man in front of them turned out to be the newly appointed Fucheng man, the government officials were also surprised. After checking the edict of knighthood in Xie Yu's hand, a government official hurriedly went to notify the county magistrate.
After burning incense, Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan were welcomed in.
Xie Yu met the magistrate of Fucheng in the lobby of the county government office.
After some introduction, Xie Yu had a simple understanding of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate of Fucheng was named He Guangyao, and he was a Jinshi in the first year of Yongzhao.
That year was the time when Emperor Yongzhao Zhou Qi officially ascended the throne.
Because he failed the imperial examination, He Guangyao was assigned to Fucheng and became a seventh-rank county magistrate. Three years later, he became the county magistrate of the seventh grade.
Then this county magistrate has been working until now.
All in all, He Guangyao has stayed in Fucheng for almost fourteen years!
A county official can serve for fourteen years, which shows one problem: He Guangyao has no one in the government!
If only a few years earlier, He Guangyao could have met a "second generation Quan" like Xie Yu who had his back on the thigh of the Minister of War, he would have fawned over him no matter what.
But now... He Guangyao has given up this idea.
After fourteen years of business, he had already become the local emperor of Fucheng. Now if we want to promote him and let him take up his new position in another place, he will definitely not be willing to do so.
Isn’t it good to call the wind and rain in Fucheng and say one thing?
He is almost fifty years old now. Even if he is promoted, how many years can he work?
Instead of struggling in other places, it would be better to be his local emperor in Fucheng.
At this time, the "Tu Emperor" of Fucheng was holding Xie Yu's copy of the knighthood and was thinking carefully.
To be honest, he was quite embarrassed to accept Baron Yu.
Although the imperial edict stated that he should cooperate in setting aside a fief for Xie Yu in Fucheng's jurisdiction. As for which area to draw, he, the county magistrate, can "act expediently".
In terms of overall ownership, Xie Yu's fiefdom was still under the jurisdiction of him, the magistrate of Fucheng County.
But...that's only nominal jurisdiction.
The taxation within the fiefdom will have nothing to do with He Guangyao from now on.
It felt like... Xie Yu was eating from He Guangyao's pot! Is this possible?
After hesitating for a long time, He Guangyao finally found a solution.
"Baron Xie, since you have received the imperial edict from His Majesty, I will fully cooperate with you. I just wonder, Baron Xie, if you have a fiefdom you like?"
Looking at He Guangyao with a smile on his face, Xie Yu always felt that this guy was a bit like a "smiling tiger".
After thinking about it, Xie Yu shook his head and said: "I am new to Fucheng, and I am not familiar with everything. As for this fiefdom, I still need your help in arranging it. I just want to have a place to stay, and I will not forget it in the future. Thank you for your help."
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say!" He Guangyao nodded, "Twenty-five miles southeast of Chufu City, there is Sunjiazhuang. With Sunjiazhuang as the center, there is fertile farmland for ten miles! It can be used as a fiefdom for Baron Xie, what do you think? How about next?"
As Xie Yu and He Guangyao said, he was not familiar with Fucheng. So Xie Yu didn't have any information to refer to where He Guangyao was talking about.
But as long as there is a village.
A village means there are people, and population is a bonus!
Even if the land is poorer, it doesn't matter to Xie Yu. He didn't expect to make a fortune from farming.
Xie Yu cupped his hands at He Guangyao and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Mr. He. By the way, I have one more thing. I want to ask Mr. He for a favor! This time I came all the way to Shanxi and took in many refugees. Now I am in Fucheng. To settle down, I want to recruit these refugees to serve as housekeepers and nursing homes..."
Xie Yu wanted to create a new road guide for the six sons, Chen Zhong and others.
With Lu Yin, these people's identity as bandits can be cleared up. It will be much more convenient to enter and leave other cities in the future.
When He Guangyao heard this, he waved his hand and agreed.
In his opinion, as long as it is not a matter of sharing profits and rights with him, it is not a big deal.
With He Guangyao's approval, everything will be easier to handle.
He Guangyao signed the land document, stamped it, and returned it to Xie Yu.
Finally, Xie Yu went to the master and received more than a hundred road guides.
The names of these road guides have not been written yet. After returning home, Xie Yu can just let Liuzi and others fill them in by themselves.
This can be regarded as solving a major matter.
After bidding farewell to He Guangyao, Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan left Fucheng.
After arriving outside the city and meeting up with Liuzi and others, Xie Yu rushed towards the direction pointed by the fiefdom document.
Half an hour later, we finally arrived at the Sunjiazhuang that He Guangyao mentioned.
Halfway through, Xie Yu was also observing the surrounding environment.
When He Guangyao and Xie Yu talked about this place before, Xie Yu thought it was a wasteland or a barren place.
But when he came here, he discovered that the farmland here was actually fertile land!
At a glance, there is a flat plain with no mountains in sight.
Then I dismounted and checked the fertile soil beside the field. I could see that the soil was soft and fertile, making it a good crop land.
Xie Yu suddenly became confused: Could it be that he had misunderstood He Guangyao? How can Zhixian... be such a warm-hearted person?
"Mr. Xie, is this your fiefdom? Are we going to live here in the future?"
Liuzi looked at the fertile fields in all directions, also looking excited.
Xie Yu nodded: "Probably. Find Muramasa first."
This group of more than a hundred people also caused a panic when they arrived at Sunjiazhuang.
Some villagers thought this was a group of strong men, so before Xie Yu and others entered the village, they started banging various sounders to warn everyone.
What's more, the young men have already begun to pick up sickles and dung forks, organize themselves into armed forces, and stand guard at the entrance of the village, preparing to face the enemy!
However...this young man from Sunjiazhuang is incomparable to the people around Xie Yu in terms of numbers and combat power.
Seeing that the people in Sunjiazhuang were frightened, Xie Yu motioned for everyone to dismount at the entrance of the village.
Then Xie Yu faced the young men alone and asked, "Is Muramasa here? Come out and talk!"
