My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 110 You are going to be a father

It was past noon when Li Tianxin left the Forbidden City. After returning to the other courtyard, he didn't delay any longer and soon took the seven girls to Shuzhou City.

They were not encumbered by a large army and were faster than Shen Lang and the others. Although they were delayed for half a day, they arrived at Shuzhou with Shen Lang and his entourage.

In the backyard of Yuelai Inn, Li Tianxin told Shen Lang and others what they had agreed upon during their meeting with Zhu Jianshen.

Hearing that the imperial court was going to set up a Department of Integrity to supervise local officials, they, the people in the Jianghu, could also supervise local officials.

If local officials are found to be oppressing the people and engaging in corruption, they can also report it to the Department of Integrity, which makes everyone very happy.

In this way, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty will definitely become clearer, and the lives of the people will be much easier. Li Tianxin has done a great thing for the people of the world.

After talking about business, Li Tianxin looked at Wang Lianhua and said, "Brother Lianhua, I mentioned your father's matter to the emperor, and the emperor was very happy."

"As long as your father can make great achievements, I will definitely go to the emperor to ask for the title for you and your son, so that your father can become a legitimate king. When the time comes, you can also become a marquis."

Wang Lianhua was overjoyed when she heard this. A king who was officially canonized by the court, even if it was a false title without a fiefdom, was not comparable to being a self-proclaimed king in the world.

To put it bluntly, proclaiming yourself king can be regarded as rebellion. If the court cannot offend you, it will naturally leave you alone.

But whenever your strength and power declines, or one day the imperial court rises and you have enough masters in your hands, then I will do whatever you are told.

Wang Lianhua said gratefully to Li Tianxin: "Tianxin, thank you very much. We, father and son, owe you a big favor."

Li Tianxin smiled and said, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Zhu Qiqi on the side asked eagerly: "Tianxin, what about me? You haven't forgotten about me, have you?"

Li Tianxin rolled his eyes at her and curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, I'll never forget it. When you return to Fenyang, the imperial envoy will be here. The emperor has made you a happy princess. Are you happy now?"

When Zhu Qiqi heard this, he jumped for joy and said with a smile: "Happy, happy, this title is just right for me, hehe."

"Hehehe..."

Shen Lang, Panda'er and others couldn't stop laughing, while Xu Ruoyu, Liu Yuru and Ma Zhaoming had envy in their eyes.

Being canonized by the imperial court has huge benefits for a Jianghu person.

Although the imperial government does not care about Jianghu affairs, Jianghu people are still ordinary people after all, and many things cannot go around the government.

In other words, the government can ignore you, but it can also ignore you. If you want to do anything that must go through the government, it will not be so convenient.

But once you have a title conferred by the court, it is completely different. It is much easier to talk in front of the government, and you can get along well in the world and among nobles and nobles.

The imperial court doesn't care about Jianghu affairs. Besides not daring to do anything about it, it really doesn't bother to do anything about it.

As long as it doesn't affect ordinary people, it doesn't matter who you beat to death or who kills everyone.

The imperial court hopes that those lawless people who have no benefit to the country will die a few more times every day.

Of course, they still like existences like Renyi Villa very much because they can really contribute to the stability of the country.

Jianghu people were unwilling to deal with the government, seemingly scornful of the government, and even denounced warriors who served the court as "eagle dogs."

But in fact, most people just can’t eat grapes and say they are sour.

Except for those masters who are good at martial arts, ordinary Jianghu people who want to become imperial eagle dogs do not have the means and qualifications.

In fact, they knew very well that if the imperial court really wanted to take action against them, they would be unable to resist.

Those who can truly threaten the powerful class are only a handful of top experts. Not all people in the world can be feared by the powerful, and there are even very few who can make the powerful look at them seriously.

Therefore, being "unwilling" to deal with the government is just a fig leaf given to oneself by people in the world.

……

After resting for one night in Shuzhou City and preparing enough dry food supplies, the team set off early the next morning.

There are more than 200 orphans taken in by Li Tianxin. It is no wonder that they are all equipped with chariots and mounts. It is simply unrealistic to get so many chariots and mounts in a city.

Even if Li Tianxin bought all the carriages and mounts in the entire city, he could only collect more than 60 carriages and more than 400 horses.

The key point is that few of the orphan girls can ride a horse, so they have to let the horses carry food and supplies. The extra horses are used to pull the cart, which can make the horses pulling the cart easier.

There were more than 60 horse-drawn carriages, which could accommodate more than 400 people. The orphans had to take turns riding the carriages in three groups. Those who didn't get their turn had to walk.

As a result, the journey from Shuzhou City to Fenyang, which originally only took five or six days for the iron cavalry, ended up taking nearly half a month.

When Li Xunhuan passed through Taiyuan, he did not follow them to Fenyang. Instead, he stayed at home and prepared to take the college examination in a few days to obtain the title of scholar.

However, after taking the college examination, he will still rush to Xinye to participate in the suppression of bandits.

Now that his Hunyuan Qi has broken through to the fifth level, he has entered the ranks of the first-class masters in the world.

Coupled with the flying knife he has trained himself, there are probably not many first-class masters who can rival him.

In terms of technique, he has already reached the master's level, so what he wants to hone now is his unique "intent" for flying knives.

There is also what Li Tianxin said, integrating his own spirit and belief into the "god" who strikes out.

Only by giving his flying knife a unique meaning and spirit can this skill truly become his unique skill - Xiao Li's flying knife.

……

After returning to Fenyang, the orphans were temporarily arranged to live with Wang Lianhua. The villa in Happy City was large enough to accommodate two to three thousand people.

Wang Lianhua will eventually take Jiefengwei out to suppress the bandits. This place is empty and it is suitable to lend it to Li Tianxin to house these orphans.

After arranging the orphan girls, Li Tianxin took the seven Bai Feifei girls to Taibai Village.

There is a bustling construction site here, and the ghost maids are not idle either, helping with some small jobs or preparing meals for the logistics.

After all, they are building their own residence, and their enthusiasm is higher than anyone else.

After more than a month of construction, Taibai Village has taken a prototype. Tangzhi County attaches great importance to this project and has fully utilized its manpower.

Just to build a village, he mobilized thousands of people. As expected, Taibai Village will be completed in more than a month.

After Li Tianxin and others arrived, they were very pleased to see that the girls were in good spirits.

After caring about their lives for a while, I felt relieved knowing that Tang Magistrate County had arranged temporary housing for them, where they could eat well and sleep well every day.

Then Li Tianxin and Bai Feifei took away seven people. It was the seven girls who were brought back to the Ghost Palace by Bai Jing after the four girls in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Their names are arranged in the seven colors of the rainbow: ruby, orange cherry, yellow ling, green calyx, green lotus, blue moon, and perilla.Their mission was to go to the Happy City Bieyuan Manor, select three hundred orphan girls, and bring them to the Zhu Mansion to be placed there and become Feixian Sect disciples in the future.

Then they and more than [-] other sisters temporarily lived in Happy City Manor and were responsible for teaching martial arts to the remaining women.

The three hundred Feixianmen disciples were taught by the four women of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and thirty other sisters.

Li Tianxin's requirements for selecting candidates were not to look at qualifications, but only appearance and figure.

When he made this request, Bai Feifei and the other girls looked at him and their eyes suddenly became strange.

Without waiting for them to speak, Li Tianxin took the initiative to give them a reasonable explanation.

Feixianmen is a Jianghu sect, and the appearance of its disciples represents the image of the sect, so naturally they have to look good.

As for others, who will serve as Ouchi secret agents hidden among the people in the future, the more ordinary their appearance will be and the less noticeable they will be, the better.

No matter male or female, once thrown into the crowd, it is impossible to find the kind of person who is most suitable to be an Ouchi spy.

This explanation was reasonable and logical, and Bai Feifei had nothing to say.

After arranging the selection of people, Li Tianxin went to see Tang Magistrate again and negotiated a project again.

Li Tianxin took out 10 taels and asked Tangzhi County to help transform another deserted village.

What was built this time was no longer a village, but a sect garrison that could accommodate a thousand people.

It includes a main hall, six side halls, several residential buildings, a vast square, and other related houses.

It is equivalent to saying that one village is one group, and the land is more than enough. The amount of work is actually not as high as that of Taibai Village, which has one person and one courtyard, but its requirements for engineering technology are higher.

The single-family courtyards in Taibai Village are all flat-storey, while the main hall of Feixianmen is a three-story palace-style building, the side hall is two-story, and the residential building is also three-story.

If there are not enough craftsmen in Fenyang, they can be seconded from surrounding towns. Li Tianxin's only request is to try to complete the project within four months.

After Tang Xin and the Yamen officials calculated it, four months should be enough.

After discussing the business, Li Tianxin did not leave immediately this time. Instead, he drank tea and talked with Tang Xin in the back hall of the Yamen.

"Tangzhi County, I have a question to ask you."

Tang Xin stretched out his hand and said, "Master Marquis, please speak."

Li Tianxin looked at him seriously and said: "If you are allowed to enter the court and hold a high position, but you have to be a lonely minister who is rejected by all officials, do you dare to do it?"

Tang Xin was shocked. He was silent for a few seconds, and then said decisively: "Why don't you dare? As long as you can do more for the people, what if you offend the entire government?"

"It's nothing more than a bet on the lives of a whole family. If my family could survive, tens of thousands of families would survive, and Tang Xin would die without regrets."

Li Tianxin smiled and said: "It's not that serious. Since I decided to send you up, I won't let anything happen to you. I will protect your wealth and life when the time comes."

Tang Xin looked at Li Tianxin with burning eyes and asked, "I wonder what position the Marquis plans to send me to?"

Li Tianxin said: "Half a month ago, I just went to Beijing to see the emperor and talked with him about the issue of rectifying the officialdom..."

He briefly talked to Tang Xin about the affairs of the Integrity Department and Xichang. After listening to Li Tianxin's words, Tang Xin shouted that the emperor was wise and was very excited about it.

"I mentioned to the emperor that if nothing else happens, the Department of Anti-corruption and the West Police Factory will be officially opened in three years, so these three years are your opportunity."

"I will fully support you, and I will be responsible for smoothing the officialdom. You only need to do a good job after your official position is promoted, achieve some political achievements, and let the emperor see your ability."

"Three years later, I will send you to the position of Yushi Zuodu of the Supervisory Yuan, responsible for overseeing the National Integrity Department."

The Inspectorate, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are collectively known as the Three Law Divisions. Zuodu Yushi is the chief officer of the Inspectorate. He is a second-rank official of the Ming Dynasty and is at the same level as the Six Ministers.

Tang Xin stood up, bowed his head to Li Tianxin and said sincerely, "Tang Xin thanks Mr. Marquis for his kindness."

"Right now, I dare not say how good I can be. The only guarantee I can give the Marquis is 'I will give my best until I die'."

Li Tianxin helped him up and said with a smile: "Of course I believe you. If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have such high expectations for you."

"Remember, if you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and dig loess. As long as you always keep these two sentences in mind, I dare not say anything else. At least you can have a good death."

Sweet potatoes have not yet been introduced to China. If he said selling sweet potato soup, he would probably be confused, so Li Tianxin had to change his mind.

Tang Xin admired him and said: "What a good man who says, 'Being an official and not making decisions for the people is worse than going home and digging loess'. This statement should be the motto of my life."

"By embarking on this road, Tang Xin has put life and death aside. It is a great blessing for me to have a good death. Thank you very much, Mr. Hou."

……

After leaving the magistrate's office, Li Tianxin returned home, took out 200 million taels of silver notes, and went to Renyi Villa in the northern suburbs of Fenyang.

He handed 200 million taels of silver notes to Leng Da, entrusted him with Tang Xin's affairs, and asked him to pave the way for Tang Xin's promotion.

At the same time, he was asked to find a few experts with good character in the world. As disciples of the Tang Xin family, they would be responsible for protecting his safety.

After Leng Da heard the whole story, he took over the matter without any objection.

Zhu Fugui and Li Tianxin, father and son, as the major financial backers behind Renyi Villa, now have the status of princes, and their influence in the government has naturally increased.

So this matter is nothing to Leng Da. He doesn't do things solely based on the face of King Zizai and Xiaoyao Hou, but rushes to send money.

Most people have no connections and don’t know where to send the money. The backstage of Renyi Villa is Zhu Fugui and Li Tianxin, plus Renyi Villa’s own status in the world, all roads lead to the capital.

Since there is no problem with the connections, the rest will be easy to handle. Some people may not give face to the two idle princes, but no one will deny face to the vain money.

Li Tianxin arranged everything as quickly as possible so that he could set off south as soon as possible.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Tianxin, who had been running around for a long time, finally returned to Zhu's Mansion.

As a result, as soon as he entered his yard, he saw a group of relatives and friends, including Shen Lang, Panda'er, Wang Lianhua, Ma Zhaoming, Xu Ruoyu, etc., and they all came up to him, cheering him with fists in his hands and saying "Congratulations." .

Li Tianxin looked puzzled and said funnyly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you congratulating me for no reason?"

Bai Ling beside Panda'er smiled and said, "It's not for nothing. During the hour you were out, something big happened at home."

Li Tianxin said in surprise: "Something big happened? What big thing?"

Shen Lang smiled and said: "Are you old enough to be a father?"

Li Tianxin was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. He suddenly turned to look at Bai Feifei, who was sitting at the stone table with a shy face, and strode over.
