Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 114: Phase Lost (2)

It is also easy to resolve Gu Wuchen's suspicion. Originally, Gu Wuchen was not someone who could be easily fooled. He knew who was beneficial to him and who was useful to him. In addition, he could not be on guard against Zhao Qinmin at this time. It's not difficult for Lin Bie to let Zhao Qinmin fall down gently.

Lin Fu was still thinking about Su Mei. He could understand that Fu Qinghe would not marry him and Sun Wenwan for no reason without discussing it in advance. It should be that Su Mei mentioned this in the letter sent to Changshan Island. The relationship between Su Mei and Chen Mingche is not the kind of lingering ambiguity that is rumored in the outside world. Lin Bie still has some eyesight, but Su Mei can't escape from the tower at this time. To deal with so many entanglements, he I had to find a shield, so I allowed the situation to evolve like this.

Even if Chen Mingzhe is the champion, what if he is not a **** in the general trend of the world?

Lin Fu thought of his "rival in love". He went to Jiangning Gongyuan to meet him during the township test, he met at the Luming Banquet for the town test, and he met Su Mei in Baiyuan when he was "obsessed". No stranger to him, he sneered contemptuously in his heart: Chen Xiyan, Chen Xinbo, Zhang Xie, Tang Haoxin and other people are the ones who stand by the chessboard and play chess, but unfortunately these people only care about the party struggle, but they can't see the danger that the chessboard is about to turn over and alien races are coveting the chessboard. Perhaps the only people in the power and eunuchs who can take care of the overall situation are Li Zhuo and several others, but several people are constrained by various situations.

Lin Fu went to Gu's house on horseback with a lot of thought, handed the horse to Zhou Pu and the others, and followed Gu Wuchen to the inner house with Zhao Qinmin.

"what!"

Hearing a coquettish cry, Lin Fucai was startled and came back to his senses. Seeing that he almost bumped into Gu Junxun's body, he took a step back, stood still, and asked with a smile, "What is Mother Xun going to do?" He is familiar with the Gu family. Now, there is no need to be too shy when meeting Gu Junxun in the yard.

"This girl was reckless and ran rampant in her own yard, not afraid to scare the guests?" Gu Wuchen said with a smile, and asked his daughter, "Where is your mother?"

Gu Junxun blushed and greeted Lin Fu and Zhao Qinmin. She glanced at Lin Fu and felt embarrassed, so she returned to her father's words: "In the garden, they said that tonight's banquet will be moved to the garden, let me ask Dad, your opinion with the guests."

"...The garden is fine, just in the garden." Gu Wuchen said.

However, Yang Pu knew that because of his wife's temperament, he would not take the initiative to ask Gu Junxun to come out and spread the word.

*********

When it gets dark, the lanterns in the yard are shining brightly, and the night sky has a bright moon. It is also a good feeling to drink in the garden. Although everyone has a lot of thoughts tonight, they also need to pay attention to their feelings. After a while, Zhang Yubo also drove over to the banquet.

When drinking, Gu Wuchen asked his son Gu Siyuan to accompany him to give him some exercise. After the banquet was over, Gu Junxun led the maid to make tea. She shouldn't have done these things, but she did it, and everyone didn't think it was anything. Zhang Yubo and Zhao Qinmin were considered uncles, and Lin Fu and the Gu family were also close. They were all Gu Wuchen's cronies, not outsiders, and neither did Gu Junxun. It's a shameless appearance. Gu Wuchen and his wife have been in the army outside the Great Wall for nearly ten years, and they have little regard for etiquette in their hearts, otherwise Gu Junxun Qiao disguised as a man and went out to play secretly would not have happened. At this moment, Gu Wuchen asked his son to go back to the room so that he could study and read, not to let him stay and listen to the next secret discussion, and also asked his daughter and maid to leave the garden.

"There is a good thing today, and I was about to tell the adults..." Lin Fu told Gu Wuchen about the marriage between Lin Jingzhong and the daughter of Sun Jingtang of the Xihehui, and some details can naturally be omitted.

Lin Jingzhong couldn't say anything about the important people at this time. The Xihe Society was only one of the Hegang forces. Gu Wuchen held the supervisory power, and the Hegang forces would all come to flatter him. , Lin Jingzhong's marriage with Sun Jingtang's daughter was a trivial matter, and he felt strange: Lin Fu didn't talk about it when he was drinking just now, but he brought it up now?

"Because of the marriage, I also chatted with the Chen brothers of the Xihehui about water transportation. I know that the forces of the river gang are feeling pressure on the water transportation this year. It is a disadvantage that the canal road has been in disrepair for many years. After thinking about it, I think it makes some sense," Lin Fu said. "Even if the Jiangdong Prefectures are willing to pay the full amount of grain to be shipped north, if you don't pay attention to these two major drawbacks, there may still be serious problems. We will be held accountable at that time. , finally shirking all the responsibilities on the He Gang, but it doesn't help..."

"Oh," Gu Wuchen replied, frowning. Generally speaking, the transportation of water will not start until the autumn grain is handed in. At this time, the biggest task of the inspector and envoy is to urge the prefectures and counties to identify enough water for this year, although they will also Supervising the repair of the Caohe River and the construction of Caoboats was not the focus of the work at this time. In particular, the Cao Canal Road did not only pass through Jiangdong County. It was thousands of miles north from Jiangdong County. This year's water transport is unfavorable, there is no grain to adjust in Yanjing, and the price of grain continues to rise. At that time, the grievances of the government and the opposition will accumulate on the head of the Chu party, and blaming others will not be able to reverse this disadvantage. Thinking of the seriousness, Gu Wuchen asked subconsciously, "I want to How to do?"

"Change the way of thinking and set off ahead of schedule," Lin Fu said, "In previous years, the water level of the waterway in the canal began to drop after the grain harvest in the late autumn, which seriously affected the speed of the waterway, and the wind direction did not use the watercraft to go north, so the speed was extremely slow. It will take more than three months for the boat to go north. It will take more than three months. After the spring, it will be empty. Although the water level has not risen yet and the wind direction has turned unfavorable, the cargo that the boat will bring back is limited. If the draught is not deep, it is not easy to be separated from shallow, and it is not easy to be damaged and overturned, and the river is naturally much smoother. If you let the boat go north at this time, and catch up with the spring and summer when the water rises, you don't have to worry about the problem of shallow water level and wind direction. It is also quite beneficial. In addition, there are few boats on the Caohe at this time. From Jiangning to the north, everything went smoothly. It only takes a month to reach Yanjing. The return time is a little longer, but it can still be harvested in late autumn. After the grain comes back for the second water transport - besides, Yanjing is also short of grain this year..."

"Yes!" Gu Wuchen's eyes brightened, the imperial court needed food to stabilize the Yanbei Front, the Northwest needed food for the severe disaster, and the shortage of food in Yanjing was serious. It was necessary to organize a batch of grain to be transported to Yanjing in advance, which would not only resolve the pressure of water transportation after the autumn , at this time is a great achievement, he lacked enough political achievements at this time to remove Jia Pengyu from the official position of the inspector. Although the autumn grain has not been harvested, there is actually no shortage of grain in the official warehouses of the southeastern counties. There is no actual difficulty in organizing the water transportation in advance.

"Master Wang Yin promised to add 200,000 stone grains of grain, and let him cash in part first, but he can't all delay it until the autumn..." Lin Fu said.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Gu Wuchen laughed, Wang Xueshan would definitely struggle to control this side, and if the time dragged on for a long time, the situation that was hard to come by before would quietly change. If you don't acknowledge the account, you will have a headache. At this time, Wang Xueshan is forced to cash out part of it first. After the autumn, even if the situation changes, Wang Xueshan will not play anything in the matter of water transportation.

Now Gu Wuchen and Lin Fu discussed the details.

Zhang Yubo was not familiar with Cao Luck, and Zhao Qinmin knew a thing or two, but in front of Lin Fu it was better to hide his humility than to show his ugliness.

When I met with Li Zhuo yesterday, Li Zhuo was very concerned about the issue of water transportation and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of river transportation and sea transportation. Lin Fu was also talking about it at the time. After Li Zhuo picked up Jiangning's civil and military generals, he has been thinking about this issue. What happened today is related to the Xihehui, a power of the River Gang, and he also talked about a lot of water fortunes when he was chatting with the Sun brothers.

Although shipping has many advantages, the Dayuet Dynasty was no longer able to organize large-scale sea transportation. There are simply not enough sea-going boats that can withstand offshore winds and waves, only to maximize the efficiency of inland waterway transportation. Although the government and the opposition are chaotic, internal and external troubles are endless, but the huge imperial system has not collapsed and is still operating effectively. As long as the inland waterway transport changes its thinking, it is still possible to improve greatly. Can the country be saved?

After all, Lin Fu didn't want the world to collapse, so that the people would be chaotic and the aliens would benefit.

During this period of time, Lin Fu spent the most time studying the strategy of ZTE. Whether the Great Yue Dynasty could ZTE depended to a large extent on whether the water transportation could be effectively organized. Reduce wear and tear, and the huge empire will not collapse immediately.

Although Lin Fu is the prisoner of Jiangdao Prison, it does not prevent him from offering advice to Gu Wuchen in other matters. In fact, once the chief officer's staff is strong enough and its operation is effective enough, it can often replace the normal operation of the yamen, and the subordinate officials and subordinate officials will be empty because of this, and the powerful people in the staff will naturally have far more power in their hands. It is much stronger than Zuoguan. At least in Jiangning at this time, all the dignitaries who feared Gu Wuchen did not dare to despise Lin Bie. This was a manifestation of the latent power system in the world.

"I think it is more appropriate for the first batch of grains to reach 300,000 stone grains to go north. Too little is not enough to show the achievements of adults in raising grain in Jiangdong, and it is not enough to relieve the pressure of water transportation in autumn," Lin Fu said, "I calculate However, the capacity of the watercraft in Jiangdong County in normal years is more than 1.8 million stone. Even if the new ships are not replenished for many years, the capacity will not be less than one million stone. I learned that although there are boats outside the Xihehui, at least half of the boats are idle. Last night, the Wupeng boat of the Xihehui swung toward the sky on the east side of Juyu Island at night, because there were some small misunderstandings. Naturally, there is no need to investigate the small misunderstandings. Judging that the Zhuhe Gang has a large number of people and ships to call at this time. The official warehouses in Jiangdong County are still full, even if the prefectures and counties directly purchase 300,000 stone rice grains from the market, and the 8 million people in Jiangdong The county will not have any impact - for the prefectures and counties, the organization of water transportation in summer, one is that the transportation time is short; There will be too much resistance. In order to prevent exploitation at the gates of various places, I think adults can even ask for a special gift for this matter."

"This is a strategy for the country." At this time, Gu Wuchen completely emptied the unhappiness caused by the private meeting between Lin Fu and Li Zhuo yesterday. He patted the table excitedly and praised Lin Fu. He really wanted to be able to go to Yanjing for transportation in the summer. With 300,000 stone grains of grain, Gu Wuchen felt that the position of the inspector should belong to him this year. Lin Fu has such a world-class genius~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He really couldn't make his heart cold, and asked Lin Fu again, "You Can you spare time to help me with this?"

"I also want to ask the adults to allow me to go back to Shanglin. When I come back from Shanglin, I should have time..." Lin Fu said.

"Okay," Gu Wuchen agreed, "I always have to ask Wang Xueshan to agree to this matter first. He has to agree, and it doesn't matter if he takes half the credit..." Gu Wuchen knew that it was not a wise move to suppress Wang Xueshan with power, so he joined forces with him. Joint control of the situation is the first choice.

Lin Fu knew that the grievances between him and Wang Xueshan and Wang Chao and his son were difficult, but the situation was such that no one could do anything to the other. It was better for everyone to cooperate with each other. He smiled and said, "Your Excellency is really wise."

Zhao Qinmin sighed in his heart, only then did he realize that he wanted to compete with Lin Fu for favor in front of Gu Wuchen. He was really blocking the car. Gu Wuchen couldn't do without Lin Fu's help at this time. …”

"Mr. Zhao, this is a bit inappropriate." Lin Bie took Zhao Qinmin's army with a smile.

Zhao Qinmin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what was going on. He said that Lin Fu was Wang Zuo's talent, didn't it imply that Gu Wuchen had greater ambitions?

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Wuchen was happy and warned Zhao Qinmin gently, but he didn't worry about it. As a newcomer of the Chu Party, he had ambitions, and his biggest ambition was to become a famous minister of ZTE, but he was not worried about Lin Bing's ability. Being so outstanding will surpass himself. After all, if Lin Fu wants to grow up in this system, he needs to accumulate qualifications and popularity for a long time. If Lin Fu can become a famous minister after decades, Gu Wuchen even thinks that both teachers and students can do it. Qing Shi left his name as a more brilliant story.
