There are many shipyards in Fuzhou. In the past few days, Governor Zhen Hui was a little undecided, so he simply took a few people to the shipyards on the outskirts of the city to have a look. Dai's shipyard was the largest, so Zhen Hui went to their place first. Master Zhang pretended to be a housekeeper.
Zhen Hui claimed that she was here to buy a boat. The shipyard manager saw that they were quite impressive and did not dare to neglect them, so he took them in to have tea. Zhen Hui vaguely revealed that he wanted to do a big deal, and the manager was secretly happy and complimented them vigorously.
Zhen Hui then asked about the strike. The manager sighed and said: "Although the workers have resumed work, they have become much more arrogant. Who made our employer disappear?"
Zhen Hui asked: "Don't your bosses have a lot of sons?"
The steward shook his head and said: "The hot filial piety has not yet passed, but the whole world has become dark. The boss left suddenly, and no one said who would inherit the property. The first and second masters refused to give in to each other, exposed each other's shortcomings, and some made trouble. No,
Our shopkeeper asked him to leave early in the morning."
Master Zhang said: "Why, I heard that Mr. Dai is quite pleased with your Third Master on weekdays."
The steward snorted: "He is an outsider, so he has no right to speak."
Zhen Hui said: "I hope Dai's family can settle down soon, otherwise, I'm afraid it will affect the business."
The steward hurriedly said: "It's okay, the shopkeeper is here." Zhen Hui nodded and said nothing.
At this moment, someone came in and quietly said a few words to the manager. When Zhen Hui heard it, she realized that it was the workers who were announcing in the factory that Mr. Pan Xigui was going to give a speech somewhere tonight, so she secretly wrote it down.
That evening, Master Zhen Huizhang rushed to the place where Pan Xigui was giving his speech according to the time. There was a large open space where dried fish and shrimps were dried, and the smell was quite unpleasant. Zhen Hui didn't care, and the people following him didn't dare to say a word.
Suddenly Pan Xigui arrived, and the workers all shouted and applauded, while Pan Mingyi jumped up and followed.
A platform was set up in the middle of the open space. Pan Xigui jumped up and waved down, "Hello, fellow workers -" the workers shouted in unison, "Hello, Mr. Pan -". Pan Xigui stood with his hands behind his hands and said loudly, "Thank you all for being so late.
You still come to listen to my speech. What I want to say today is to help each other. Brothers, except for our strength and ability, we have nothing..."
Master Zhen Huizhang was a little further away. Fortunately, Pan Xigui's voice was loud and the wind was blowing. As he was listening, someone suddenly said from the sidelines: "I didn't expect Master Zhang, the governor of Zhen, to come to listen to my father's speech."
When the two of them looked at each other, Pan Mingyi appeared out of nowhere, pursed her lips and seemed to be smiling. Master Zhang glanced at the two women with a smile and said, "Do you two have anything to say? I'll step aside."
Zhen Hui said: "Miss Pan and I don't know each other yet. It's just a coincidence that we are here today."
Master Zhang was stunned for a moment and then he understood, and said: "That one is very capable." He lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid the world belongs to him?" Zhen Hui nodded slightly. Master Zhang held his hand and led the few who followed him.
The guard quickly moved out of the way.
Zhen Hui and Pan Mingyi really didn't recognize each other, but they knew each other was the same person. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhen Hui just raised her arms to give her hand, when Pan Mingyi came over, looked at Master Zhang's back and whispered: "That Master
Do you know?"
Zhen Hui said: "Master Zhang is a smart man and he has guessed it a long time ago."
Pan Mingyi pouted: "I still want to tease him. Master Zhen, what do you want to bring him here?"
"The two of us were at the Dai family's shipyard today when we heard that your father was giving a speech, and we were quite curious." Zhen Hui said, "It was really a coincidence."
Pan Mingyi said proudly: "My father is very powerful~~"
"Truth and eloquence are good." Zhen Hui thought to herself, "I heard today that some people in the Dai shipyard are lazy and slippery. Have you ever thought about it, Mr. Pan?"
Pan Mingyi shook his head: "He can't take care of such details. These will have to wait until the night school is established to slowly teach Uncle Ni's work. When things are stable here, my father will have to go back to Jiangxi."
Zhen Hui nodded: "The goal has been achieved, but we need to be more stable later."
Pan Mingyi shrugged. After a while, he saw Zhen Hui was silent and looked sideways at her. Although Zhen Hui faced Pan Xigui, she seemed to be in a state of mind. Pan Mingyi called softly, "Master Zhen." Zhen Hui did not hear.
She shouted again. Zhen Hui came back to her senses and smiled apologetically. Pan Mingyi pursed her lips: "Master Zhen, why do I think you have something on your mind?"
Zhen Hui thought for a while: "Yes." Pan Mingyi's eyes lit up. No one can say what Zhen Hui was thinking. This little girl is a stranger after all. She will leave in a few days, and she doesn't know if she will see her again in this life.
. Then she thought that it was just a matter of talking to someone. She said: "There was a big tree in my house, which was very shady. But it was cut down for no reason. Naturally, I have to settle the matter with the person who cut down the tree, and I also have to settle the matter.
I know it has nothing to do with axes. And...it has happened many years ago. I saw an ax recently and I liked it very much. Who knew it was such a coincidence that this ax was the same one that was used to chop down my big tree in the early years." She said sadly, "
I don’t know what I’m thinking.”
Pan Mingyi frowned and muttered: "This big tree, the axe, etc., you don't have to point at it."
Zhen Hui smiled calmly: "It's just a talk."
Pan Mingyi wrinkled her nose: "It's a good guess. Zhang San ordered Li Si to do something detrimental to your interests, and you also know that Li Si was ordered to act. Many years later, he met a talented person. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Li Si. You
I don’t know if I should use it. If I don’t use it, it’s a pity. If I do, you’re not that generous, right?”
Zhen Hui was startled: "It seems...that's right."
Pan Mingyi thought she had guessed correctly and shook her little head: "Master Zhen, can you take revenge on Zhang San? Just vent your anger."
Zhen Hui smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang San has been dead a long time ago."
"Ah...that's really difficult."
"But Zhang San's family's property is still there. Back then, he cut down my family's trees for his family's property, so I have been trying to destroy his family's property over the years."
Pan Mingyi blinked: "Dai Xian?"
"No. Don't make blind guesses."
Pan Mingyi said "Oh": "I understand."
Seeing "I see" written all over her face, Zhen Hui's heart moved: "Do you understand?"
Pan Mingyi took Zhen Hui's hand, puffed up her face and said: "Aunt Zhen, I hate Zhang San too! He also chopped down my big tree! And... he also chopped down another big tree in my house to make an axe.
.”
Zhen Hui was shocked: "What?!" Several thoughts suddenly appeared in her mind.
Pan Mingyi whispered: "You are now the governor of Fujian. You used to be a third-rank official. It is not difficult to destroy the Dai family. If Zhang San is not Dai Xian, he is the imperial court." Zhen Hui said nothing. Pan Mingyi said,
"Both of my fathers were harmed by the imperial court."
"Two dads?"
Pan Mingyi nodded: "Yes. I have two fathers." Pan Xigui was a good man and made them eunuchs. When the little girl was young, she didn't know the difference between eunuchs and others, but now she knows. The Liu family started giving property to the emperor from their ancestors
Weapons were raised one by one without even basic common sense. If not for the chaos in the world, she would have been in the female guard camp 90% of the time. It was hard to say whether she could survive to adulthood. She thought for a moment and said solemnly, "I don't know that
What did Li Si do? However, my biological father is the ax of the imperial court, and he doesn’t even know that he should raise a child after giving birth."
Zhen Hui was stunned for a moment and didn't understand: "You should raise a child after giving birth to it. It's not a natural one? Do you still know?"
Pan Mingyi sighed: "Yes, I really don't know. Their woman is not a daughter-in-law, but a breeding woman. They can't see it when she is pregnant, and they don't know when she will give birth. They don't think there is anything wrong, because the whole family is
No one who raises children by himself is like a child raised by wolves eating raw meat. Names and clan rankings only start to appear after the age of twelve. Those who can live to the age of twelve have the hope of living to adulthood. We
The mortality rate of children in our family is very high, regardless of gender. I am really lucky." She touched her heart, "I used to be young and ignorant. Looking back now, it is incredible that I can still live." She said with red eyes, "Look
The more information I read, the more scared I become. How on earth did my father support me? Uncle Cong said that it was a miracle that I was lively, cute and innocent when I was a child. He said that it was impossible for others to barely support a child in such a situation.
Not much. But it can help the child not have any psychological shadow - my father must have something more than an ordinary person, and many more than an ordinary person."
Zhen Hui took a deep breath for a long time. Miss Pan was very skilled in martial arts, and so was Liu Er. She already suspected that the two had some connection. However, Liu Er's true identity was quite secret, and Miss Pan was a little girl, so she was not allowed to ask openly. Today
The moonlight was still bright, so she looked at Pan Mingyi carefully for a moment - he looked nothing like Liu Er. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: According to what Miss Pan said, the children of that family lived in misery, and she secretly longed for Liu Er.
Er Er was not so miserable. Then she thought that even if she was not from that family, she would not be much better. She felt a little pity for Liu Er. After a while, she tried to say: "These people who are the swords and axes of the imperial court...
What do you think?"
Pan Mingyi was expecting her to ask, so she quickly said: "There is nothing to think about. Don't think about it. They are swordsmen and axes, not people. If swordsmen and axes have ideas, what if they don't want to be swordsmen and axes? There has been no one since childhood.
Teach them to think. Besides... My master said that it is extremely difficult to stay alive. There is no free time or energy to spend on "thinking". If you think too much, you will not feel that you are practicing less. If you practice less, you may not live long.
...Those who can survive until dawn are the ones who are both talented and focused on learning martial arts." Zhen Hui let out an "ah" without realizing it. Pan Mingyi kept looking at the expression on her face and added, "How difficult is that?
Master said, it is impossible to imagine a happy child like me."
Zhen Hui sighed softly. After a long time, she said: "I understand all these principles. Even..." She even knew that her grandfather Zhen Deren was not as kind to her granddaughter as he was to his granddaughter Zhen Zangzhu. "But..."
Pan Mingyi's eyes were wide open and sparkling in the moonlight: "If you understand, why can't you go around the detour?" She knew it was rude as soon as she said the words, and she hurriedly said, "I am really confused, and I definitely don't want to pretend to be an adult in front of my elders.
It means...well, I mean...Oh, I don't know how to say it. Anyway, you just need to understand."
Zhen Hui looked at the many expressions on her face and couldn't help but smile: "I know what you mean." She sighed softly, "Mr. Jia Cong said... there must be something extraordinary about your father.
"She recalled the psychology training she had received earlier in Dajiala. This clearly shows that Miss Pan also grew up in a difficult and dangerous environment, perhaps even more dangerous than when she was young. Pan Xigui was able to raise her to be as lively as an ordinary child, and she and herself
The wet nurse was walking on thin ice day and night in Zhen Yingjia's house. She couldn't let go of the hatred of the Zhen family. She must have endured too much hardship in her early years and complained about her fate. Thinking of this, she asked, "In this case, do you hate your biological father?"
Pan Mingyi shook her head repeatedly: "No, I only complained about him. Not about myself." She hesitated for a moment, considering whether to sell her parents' property. After a while, she decided to sell it. "I just arrived in college.
When we were in Jiala, I complained to Master when I saw how close Master and his wife were. I didn’t think that my father liked my mother very much. He married my mother because he liked me. I felt sorry for my mother, but my mother was very happy. Master
He just said that it is rare for people of your father's generation to learn to love their daughters. He also said that I was 'why not eat minced meat'."
"But he didn't support you."
Pan Mingyi immediately smiled sweetly and said: "My father raised me! I will honor my father! What regrets do I have? If he regrets, it should be his regret."
Zhen Hui nodded slightly. After a long while, she looked strange and murmured: "Why not eat minced meat... Why not eat minced meat... This is an analogy." Looking up, Pan Xigui was still standing on the stage giving a speech. Pan Mingyi's eyes were still bright when she looked sideways.
Like Xingzi, suddenly envious. "Miss Pan."
"Um?"
"You are so lucky."
"Yes, I know!" Pan Mingyi waved her arm, "If you are born happy, you must give back to society. I will help my father break the old world! Let the children in the world no longer have to rely on luck to live."
Zhen Hui looked at her without blinking. This little girl was just like the children in the Dajiala school. She was full of energy. There were not many children in Fujian who had this kind of energy. She suddenly thought of visiting a Dajiala school.
I saw the slogan when I was in middle school: A wise boy will make the country wise, a rich boy will make the country rich, and a strong boy will make the country strong. She gradually made up her mind. After a long time, Zhen Hui smiled with relief and patted Pan Mingyi on the shoulder: "Miss Pan, thank you.
.”
"Ah?" Pan Mingyi jumped up, "Have you figured it out?"
Zhen Hui shook her head: "I haven't figured that thing out yet, but I will figure it out in some time. But the other thing is clear." She then waved to Master Zhang. Master Zhang hurriedly led the people over.
Zhen Hui said seriously, "I just talked to Miss Pan for a while and I envied her very much."
Master Zhang looked at Pan Mingyi: "Envy Miss Pan?"
"Yes." Zhen Hui said, "I thought, if Fujian was filled with young people as enthusiastic and energetic as Miss Pan, what else would there be to worry about? Mr. Zhang, I have decided. Starting from tomorrow,
Put everything aside for now. We will do our best to build the school. If we don’t have enough teachers, we will dig it out from Jia Lian, Prince Teng. There is so much money in the warehouse. The worst thing is to increase business taxes. Everything should be done to make way for the school. Whether it is choosing a location or building a house,
Mr.’s salary. Every child has to go to school.”
Master Zhang thought: "Many poor families will not allow their children to go to school, and would rather send them to work to earn money. If they can't be persuaded, can they be punished?"
"No punishment." Zhen Hui's face darkened, "I'll take you to jail."
Master Zhang hurriedly said: "Sir, is it too much?"
"It affects thousands of families. If we don't be more severe, it will be difficult to accomplish this." Zhen Hui said, "Young men are the future of the country. I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade me."
Master Zhang glanced at Pan Mingyi again. The little girl waved her fist, with a look of joy on her face. She bowed and said, "I understand." He secretly praised in his heart: This is a governor!
