Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 94: Thatched Cottage Breeze

The moonlit night is clear and bright, the night wind is not cold, and people also put on light spring clothes.

Back in the thatched cottage, Xiaoman sat in front of the book desk boredly, smearing and drawing on the light yellow rice paper with a pen and ink, Liu Yueer was sitting on the other end of the book desk and became a girl red, and the pair of bi people were under the lamp. Charming and charming, Liu Yue'er is plump and mature, with a slightly round face. Sitting there, her waist appears to be soft, and her tall **** prop up/raise the light green spring shirt, forming a perfect and attractive curve; She hasn't grown up yet, she's a little thinner, but her face is extremely delicate under the lamp, and her eyes are extraordinarily charming. Seeing Lin Bie come back, she stood up, yawned, and said tenderly, "Why did you come back? , I'm about to fall asleep..." Qing Yin was soft and soft, as if to melt people's ears, Xiao Man came over enthusiastically and hugged Lin Bie's arm, dragging him into the room to see what she was doing. painting.

It is a picture of a peony. It has not been painted yet, but Xiao Nizi is skilled in fine brushwork. This picture already looks very good. Xiaoman is familiar with Su Mei's tune in Fanlou, and he is also familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Really versatile. Lin Fu watched the painting under the lamp and said to Xiao Man, "The next day I will let someone go to the city to buy some danqing and come back so you can color this painting..." The little girl was also eager to treat Lin Fu, and Lin Fu looked at the painting. At that time, her delicate body was passionately attached to him, even though she was still young and her body was not soft, she had the unique softness of a girl.

Liu Yue'er pretended not to be able to see it, and was still sitting there holding an embroidery needle to embroider the lotus leaf pattern on the edge of the skirt.

Xiaoman's blushing lips touched Lin Bie's ear and asked, "Brother Lin, when do you think Sister Su Mei will come to see me?" She thought that Liu Yue'er would not hear her words, and her breath rushed on Lin Bie's ear. .

Only then did Liu Yueer put down the embroidered cloth in her hand, and said, "There is only a thatched cottage here, how can I ask someone to come over?" Then she asked Lin Fu, "Have you ever been thirsty, let me make you a cup of tea?"

"Don't be busy now, Jingzhong and the others will come over to discuss things later, and I want to trouble you to make tea together..." Lin Fu asked Liu Yueer to rest first, and then said to Xiaoman, "When the bamboo hall is built, there will also be On the pretext of inviting Su Mei to come here, if you are tired of living here, I will send someone to take you back to Baiyuan..."

"No," Xiaoman pursed her pink lips, and the plump and curved lips were very beautiful, shook her head, and said, "It's too much trouble, I want to help you, I shouldn't cause you trouble... ...how about you find something to do for me?"

"Miss Liu didn't ask you to help?" As soon as Lin Fu asked this sentence, he stepped on Liu Yueer's foot under the table, thinking that the two women have not been able to get along well, and the two women are in the same room at this time. , mostly to save an oil lamp, so he quickly changed his words and said to Xiaoman, "You write well in small print, and some of my manuscripts are scribbled. You can transcribe them for me and let Miss Liu keep them..."

At this moment, there were voices coming from the front of the cottage. Seeing that it was Cao Ziang and the others, Lin Fu asked Xiaoman to help Liu Yueer to make tea and bring it to the front hall.

Lin Fu asked Lin Jingzhong, Cao Zi'ang, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others to sit down in the front hall and tell them what happened when they entered the city today. The bulk of this batch of redemption silver must be given to Gu Wuchen. The middle is divided into four thousand taels of silver. Lin Jingzhong also thought about it. No matter what, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. The value of the soldiers, armor and horses obtained here is far more than 4,000 taels. In addition, the other day, I got 20,000 taels from the Qu family's clever tricks. The silver will not be used up for a while.

Lin Fu said what he saw in Tiantou when he returned, and instructed Lin Jingzhong: "Right now, we can only use this compromise method to give them some compensation. Anyway, we have been preparing for the road construction for a long time, and the start of the construction is only two days. It also requires labor. Before the rainy season, the roadbed is raised and then covered with gravel and charcoal slag, the drainage ditches are dug, and willows are planted, and the horses and carts run over it to barely cope with the use; The rammed earth is used to spread the three-harmonious soil that stumbles over the charcoal slag. At that time, it can be repaired as neatly as the official road... These tenants come to work, and tomorrow they will record their names and give out ten days of work and food money, and be careful not to let others in. Fishing in troubled waters."

"Those who want to fish in troubled waters can't get in. Master Cao has thoroughly grasped the two nearby villages. There are a few treacherous and slippery people, and we have all registered here," Lin Jingzhong said with a smile, "but every time it's us. suffer?"

"If you want to accomplish anything, you must first learn to suffer," Lin Bie said with a smile, "Every time you take advantage, who would dare to help you?"

"I'm not afraid of this loss. I'm also from a small family, so how could I forget my background? These tenants come here, don't say three liters of rice, four liters of rice, five liters of rice, you let me send it, and I don't frown. It is clear that the money from the young crops will be distributed to the village households. How can the money be given to the rent collection warehouse first? I think Zhao Qinmin should turn a blind eye on this matter. Zhou's curtain seat is in the middle of trouble, taking the benefits of the Qu family... We have suffered a loss, and the benefits can't be passed on to these worms!" Lin Jingzhong said.

"Just think that we have taken so much money from the Qu family, and give them a turn at this time, and you will be content. Besides, the Qu family is thinking about getting some benefits from us, which shows that they really don't have the slightest suspicion of us." Lin Fu said, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Even if Chen/Yuanliang doesn't know the virtue of his surnamed Zhou, Lin Fu should try to "be kind to others" as much as possible. The officials of the Dayue Dynasty are mostly greedy. They must be jealous, but they can't do anything. In addition to the immediate benefits, what happened in the past two days has also alleviated other crises. Fan Ding and Fan Zhimei are afraid that they will have to swallow their voices for a longer time.

"I know the truth, and I feel better when I say it." Lin Jingzhong said.

Cao Zi'ang, Ge Cunxin, and Ge Cunxiong all laughed. They had experienced so many injustices, and this matter in front of them was nothing.

Lin Fu told everyone about the banquet in the Dongyang Guild Hall today, and Lin Jingzhong asked, "Zhao Qinmin can't do so many things by himself, do you want to pick two people to help him?"

"Master Cao, what do you think?" Lin Fu asked Cao Ziang. Both Cao Ziang and Qin Chengzu were resourceful people. He left Cao Ziang on the shore and hoped that Cao Ziang could share the pressure for him.

"I think it's better to be careful," Cao Ziang shook his head and said, "It's not that Gu Wuchen is suspicious of Mr. Lin at this time, Gu Wuchen should be someone who understands the way of balance, so he won't entrust everything to him. Mr. Lin, Jiangning City has been turbulent and the situation has changed abruptly in the past two days, which is far beyond Gu Wuchen's expectations, making it too late for him to make arrangements. While restraining, most of them will have some ideas in their hearts. Master Lin originally wanted to hand over this piece to Zhao Qinmin, so it would be better to leave it to him. The other, Zhao Qinmin is not simple. In just two or three days, I touched the estuary all over, so that I had to deliberately move our people away from him, for fear of giving him something to say.

"If we don't need our people, then pick two able-bodied recruits from the refugees and serve as guards for Zhao Qinmin, always to prevent him from killing the assassins he sent to Wang Xueshan at Hekou," Lin Fu said, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. , I will go to the Longjiang Shipyard with you, first hand over the money to the shipyard, the big and small loach will bring everyone to the shipyard for training, and then the food and lodging will be on the boat, and the dock is stacked here. , we have also controlled it well, and we are not afraid that there will be any flaws that will be left in the eyes of others."

Although the big and small loach master and his subordinates are all from fishermen and have rich experience in boating, they have no experience in driving large sailboats. The three masts of the thousand-stone ship can hang a total of fifteen sails, the main mast is ten zhang high, the front and rear secondary masts are eight zhang high and the other six zhang high. goods. Although it only takes sixteen people to drive this galleon with a load of thousands of stones, it is not something that ordinary sixteen people can do. The big loach and his subordinates have the foundation of sailing and sailing, which is better. Back then, Lin Fu and the others were driving the three-masted sea boat. Fortunately, after the early winter, the waters north of the Yangtze River were calm, so they wasted a lot of time and they were safe. It was stranded in Qingjiangpu. After listening to Lin Fu's experience, the big and small loach said that they were thrilling. It was also because they saw that the wind was slightly stronger and they lowered their sails to avoid the wind. Otherwise, even with the wind and waves after the early winter, with their ability, four or five of the ten boats would have to be overturned in the sea. . Qin Chengzu and the others invited a few reliable boatmen to join the team from a private salt dealer they knew well in Qingjiangpu.

Lin Fu gave Lin Jingzhong the sixty taels of gold that had been shared in Gu's house, and said, "This is a reward, it will not be stored in the warehouse. If you take it to Quyang Town another day, you will exchange it for six-baht unmarked gold and silver coins. On the private seal of Jiyun Club, make up the brand name, and let the subordinates select twenty people who are diligent in work on weekdays, willing to use their brains, and willing to exercise their hearts. First, each person will be given a silver coin. In the future, if anyone has made merit~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the great merits will be rewarded with money, and the minor meritorious deeds will be rewarded with silver money. Six baht gold and silver are not worth much, but they can inspire their hearts.”

Twenty-four baht is worth one tael, one tael of silver is worth 1,200 copper coins, and six baht worth of silver coins is worth three hundred copper coins; one tael of gold is worth 9,600 copper coins, and eight taels of silver are worth 9,600 copper coins, and six baht coins are worth 9,600 copper coins. It is worth two thousand four hundred copper coins.

Next, we will discuss the matter of choosing Wuwei, which has matured. Ten of the thirty subordinates brought by the Ge brothers will be selected as Wuwei, so that it is convenient to incorporate most of the Ge brothers' subordinates into one ship, so as to ensure that the matter of traveling to and from Changshan Island will not be leaked to outsiders; In addition, 30 military guards will be selected from the recruited refugees.

After the massacre of the refugees, Lin Fu also quickly used the form of rural bravery to train the brave among the refugees to train with bamboo guns. Although the extra training time every day was not long, it was enough for the selection of Wuwei. Besides, Cao Ziang has been among the refugees who have been recruiting workers and sharing weal and woe these days. What kind of characters are among the refugees who are recruiting workers, he has long since given him a good eye.

From the eve of the big night, Chen Zhi led a group of 500 officers from Dongcheng to arrest people, and the refugees stood firmly behind Lin Fu. This can also prove that these recruiters are trustworthy. In fact, Cao Zi'ang suspected Lin Fu. When it comes time to drag these people directly to Changshan Island to become pirates, probably few people will hesitate - the most important thing at the moment is how to train these people into elites.

After all, the number of Wuwei is limited. Wuwei can be handed over to Zhou Pu for training together with the guards and soldiers. Lin Fu usually has time to teach himself, but Lin Fu and the others will not honestly wait for the bandits to attack and only use Wuwei to defend the enemy. , or equip the Wuwei with weapons on the merchant ships, and organize the bravery among the refugees more effectively, as the backup and supplementary force of the Wuwei, which is another headache.
