Lord of the House

Lin Jingzhong took apart every silver bag beside Lin Fushu's desk and looked at it. He wanted to spread the five bags of official silver on the ground and count them one by one. 20,000 taels of silver sounds scary, but in fact, there are only 400 official ingots with the standard of 50 taels, each of which is not even as big as Zhou Pu's fist, but it made Lin Jingzhong almost salivate. Lin Jingzhong has been thinking about the silver thing these days, so worried that his hair has turned white, and suddenly a pile of white silver is piled on his face, making his eyes dazzle.

"By the way, where did the money come from?" After a long while, Lin Jingzhong remembered to ask where the money came from.

"There is no reason for the chaos in the sky today..." Lin Fu then told Lin Jingzhong about the Qu family. He used to be afraid that he would not be able to hold his breath. After all, the Hekou side is under the jurisdiction of the Quyang Town Inspection Department, and Lin Jingzhong must represent Jiyun Club deals with the Qu family, especially the Quyang inspector Qu Wuming. Now the prison island has the right to assist in the defense of the Hekou area. Although there is no clear administrative ownership, Lin Fu can completely throw the Quyang town inspection department aside. What matters can be docked with Moling County.

"Ah!" Lin Jingzhong looked at the silver in his hand in a daze. These days, few people outside the East City were still discussing the massacre of the 36 people who died in the attack on the refugees, but the case of Qu Wuyang's only son's disappearance was a big uproar. In addition to Qu Wuyang's only son who is the son of a famous **** in Jiangning, the reward offered by the Qu family through Jiangning Prefecture and Moling County is also an exciting thing. Hundred acres of fertile land.

Lin Jingzhong swallowed hard and asked, "Have you found out who is instigating the Qu family?"

"No," Lin Fu shook his head and said, "During this period of time, the Qu family has tried their best to find Qu Wuyang's only son, and there is no sign of close contact with other forces. If there is any relationship behind it, Zhishi left the center to Chen Xiyan, the former minister of the household who gave lectures in the Xixi Society, is Qu Wuyang's wife and cousin, but Chen Xiyan should not have the motive for such a ruthless attack. If you want to pursue it carefully, before the prison is cleared, any female prisoner in Jiangdao prison will be given the slightest beauty. Forced to sell themselves in a brothel in Quyang Town, the two brothels in Quyang Town are owned by the Qu family. After the prison is cleared, there will be no more female prisoners to sell their bodies in a brothel in Quyang Town, but the police officer did not hold the Qu family accountable. Even Ge Zuxin, Zhou Shide and others used money to launder their crimes and left Jiangning Mansion. To say that because of this or to prevent Jiyun Society from establishing a foothold in Hekou, it can be far-fetched to say that it is a motive. It's over..." In the last sentence, Lin Fu said very coldly.

Lin Jingzhong and everyone sighed.

The so-called "relatives may be sad, others have already sung." More than a month has passed since the refugee massacre. Even among the refugees who recruited workers, the panic and sadness gradually dissipated. Naturally, the Linjing Center took the massacre as a lesson. Soon I figured out how to spend the 20,000 taels of silver.

After a while, everyone changed the topic to the real business, Lin Fu said: "When Jiyun Club got a business post from Moling County, the principal reported was 20,000 taels of silver, and after the big construction here, the cost of spending has been It is very big. In the past two months, there have been as many as five or six thousand taels of silver money going out. Those who have a little understanding of the account books of Jiyun Club are only a few people in Lin Mengde. However, these people are very concerned about Jiyun Club. It is still reliable, even if they see some problems, they will not talk about it, and the money is directly stored and used without worrying about causing the Qu family to be alert."

"20,000 taels of silver to 24,500,000,000 yuan of copper, is definitely an unimaginable amount of wealth for ordinary people, but this amount of money is really limited," said Cao Zi'ang, "to be able to withstand the offshore waters. In terms of the three-masted thousand-stone ship of Fenglang, one cost is four or five thousand taels, and 20,000 silver taels can only buy four or five thousand stone ships."

"Yeah," Lin Fu sighed and said, "If there are no strong figures in the DPRK to stand up and turn the tide, I'm afraid this world will go down and become more chaotic, and I'm more willing to buy a few more large ships to prepare 1. Besides, the Cao Road from the southeast to the north has not yet begun to recover due to the influence of the war in East Fujian. There are many shipyards near Jiangning Prefecture, and many new ships have been accumulated in the backlog due to the cancellation of orders by the shipowners. , not only can you buy new ships immediately, but also the price of ships can be reduced to the lowest level. Even if the world is restored from chaos, buying more ships at this time will not be a loss-making business. Except for the previous three-masted ship, I want to gather clouds The club has added a large merchant ship for normal trade. In addition, Jiangning Prefecture and the various prefectures in Jiangdong County have officially recognized that the guards of Jiangdao prison have the right to defend the river mouth. I also have an excuse to give Two fast armed vehicles and ships have been added to the prison island. Speaking of which, the problem of staffing is what makes me a headache. Fortunately, the big loach and the small loach came over, otherwise I would have been worried to death..."

"Tan Ye is very polite, our brothers can only do our best..." Ge Cunxin said.

Lin Jingzhong knew that the name of the East Sea Fox, Tan Zong, was erected on Changshan Island, but he was just wondering: Why did the Ge brothers take Tan Zong as Lin Fu's real name, and refer to them as "Tan Ye" in private discussions?

When Cao Zi'ang heard that the problem of the guard guards' right to defend the Hekou area was resolved, he looked excited and asked, "The guard guards are going to expand?"

"Well, first make up for the shortfall. The three teams of military soldiers are enough to deal with the small bandits in Chaotian Dangli. In the next two days, I will go to the North Bank with the Admiral's Office and the Commissioner to select refugees to fill the military households..." Lin Fu said.

With the assistance of Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu, it was not a problem for Lin Fu to personally control the three teams of prison island warriors. The key was the distribution of personnel on the Hekou side.

Lin Fu and Cao Zi'ang discussed, first of all, to ensure the staffing of the ship that transported supplies to Changshan Island. There is no full certainty, and outsiders cannot be easily used. The thirty men brought by Ge Cunxin and Ge Cunxiong are mainly deployed on that ship. on board. The two fast-armed vehicles and ships that were added to the prison island could only be used by the prison guards as the main force, but the sailors still had to select people from the estuary recruited migrants. Lin Fu asked the brothers Ge Cunxin and Ge Cunxiong to recommend two reliable men to be the leaders of the two armed ships and sailors. Combat even involves directly fighting the enemy.

The merchant ships purchased by the Jiyun Society, whether they are boatmen, sailors or military guards, can be recruited from the estuary and sent to the people for training, but the merchant ships carry millions of dollars in cargo, and the merchant ship leaders cannot ignore it. Ge Cunxiong, the master of the loach, was in charge of the ship himself, but he couldn't spare other people, so he let Chen Enze run errands with Ge Cunxiong.

Of course, the Jiyun Club now only allocates a budget of 4,000 taels to Ge Cunxiong, and Ge Cunxiong is responsible for everything from the purchase of merchant ships, supervision and renovation, staffing and training to the final launch. Although the Longjiang Shipyard had a backlog of new ships in his hands, Lin Bie still demanded that they be renovated and strengthened according to the standards of offshore navigation and even battle. If there were any changes, the ship would still have to leave for Changshan Island.

"Master Cao, I hope you can stay on the shore," Lin Fu said to Cao Zi'ang at the end of the discussion, "There are more than 100 refugees who have been registered in the Yellow Book of Moling County, and they will increase in the future, so they need to be compiled. I negotiated with Moling County, and the capital can choose someone from the refugees. After all, Jingzhong is young and lacks experience, and my energy is limited.

Lin Jingzhong was overjoyed, and Cao Ziang was in charge of the civil affairs, and at least half of the burden on him should be lightened. In fact, these days, under the deliberate guidance of Lin Fu, Cao Zi'ang, Ge Cunxiong, and Ge Cunxin have become the de facto leaders of refugees in Hekou. It is normal for others to call them openly at this time. ; Zhou Pu and Wu Qi are both entourages.

The prison guards still have to be stationed on the island. Although there are forty guards on the Jiyun Club side, they are divided between two ships. Ten guards can be left on the river mouth. Only Cao Zi'ang is suitable to take the road of cultivating and training civilian households.

Cao Zi'ang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll stay on the shore; in the future, I'll have to work hard for the matter of Changshan Island..."

Ge Cunxin scratched his unkempt beard, and Cao Ziang, Cunxiong and the others gave him away. There were less than 30 people left for him to use, so there would be no problem when sailing normally. It is quite difficult for less than thirty people to guard a thousand-stone ship. He asked, "Can we use some black households on the ship?"

"Using," Lin Bie said with a nod, there are no rules for sailing in this world. It is normal to use black households and carry private goods. It is nothing more than enough to pay the fees of various forces. "Who is it? Master Loach just needs to feel reliable." You can even draw some more people directly from Changshan Island. Lin Fu can now say that he has already grasped the civil affairs, defense and other matters on the Hekou side, and this little trick can still be done. Yes, even if it is discovered by others, it is not a big deal, as long as there is no big mess. In this world, if you do things here too well, it will give other people suspicion.

******

Everything is messy, and the discussion is stopped. It is already the moon to the middle of the sky.

Lin Bie asked everyone to simply have a meal in the thatched cottage before leaving.

Since many recruited refugees came to Hekou, Cao Zi'ang and others were pretending to be refugees, so they naturally wanted to live in shacks. Lin Fu also asked Lin Jingzhong, Qian Xiaowu and others to live in shacks. Now that the surrounding house has been built, Lin Fu also asked Lin Jingzhong and Qian Xiaowu to move into the surrounding house and live with the refugees.

Qian Xiaowu's wife, Yunniang, was still helping to clean up the house, and Lin Bie saw that it was very late, so she asked her to stop and go back to rest first. Thinking that Qian Xiaowu's talent and ability are actually not weaker than Lin Jingzhong's, he could have taken on more affairs, but he is arrogant, and Lin Fu is not sure now that he can accept that Jiyun Club is not only a collusion between officials and businessmen, but even can It is said to be the fact that "official, business and bandit" colluded with each other.

Lin Fu walked to the cottage and looked at the backyard simply surrounded by bamboo fences, shrouded in moonlight, as if someone was standing at the bottom of clear water. Quite a few, Lin Fu couldn't help sitting on the bamboo on the steps, watching the moonlight in the courtyard and pressing his fingers on his temples.

"Are you tired?" Liu Yue'er quietly squatted beside Lin Bie.

"Some..." Lin Fu looked back at Liu Yue'er, turned and moved, letting her sit beside him.

Liu Yue'er was guilty of being a thief and looked back through the back door. Zhou Pu and the guards were either practicing knives in the front yard, or scattered around to guard. There was no one in the house or the back yard, so she dared to say: "Yes Why don't I rub it for you?" The man squatted behind Lin Bing, and pressed his fingers against Taiyangtang for him.

Smelling the faint fragrance coming from Liu Yue'er's body, and pressing her cool and delicate fingers against the sun's sky, Lin Fuji felt completely at ease, stretched out her feet and folded her hands, and leaned against Lin Liuyue's arms. Enjoy.

Liu Yueer never thought that Lin Fu would be so rascal that he would have to stand up. Seeing that he closed his eyes and raised his brows, he couldn't bear to push him away from his arms, so he endured the shyness and the panic that might be discovered by others at any time, and massaged him. He got up and spoke to him in a low voice.

"What's going on tomorrow?"

"Things are never finished," Lin Fu said, feeling Liu Yueer's tender fragrance, closing his eyes and resting his mind. "There are still some people to be recruited on the island, and Yang Shi will be sent to the north shore. The prison on the Zhengyetang side. The book has also been engraved, and after a while when the bamboo hall is built, Zhao Shuhan will be invited to teach..."

"Prison lecture, how many people will come to listen?" Liu Yue asked.

"Who knows~www.wuxiax.com~ Lin Fu doesn't know how many people will be invited by then. "You will also listen when the time comes. "

"I'm a woman, what do I listen to?" Liu Yue'er refused without thinking.

Lin Fu smiled. At this time, he didn't force Liu Yue'er, and he nabbed her about the urgent things to do these days: "Jiyun Club wants to add two big ships, although the transformation of the hull has always been carried out by Jingzhong and Ge. My brother is going to supervise, and I always have to take time to take a look. On the other hand, the dock side has a preliminary appearance, and now the guard guards also have the right to assist in the defense of the river mouth. With this foundation, you can cheat Others put money in. Jiyun Club can’t put all the money here. Besides, according to Ge Siyu’s plan, three streets are to be built here, and Jiyun Club doesn’t have so much money to put in. I will come in tomorrow. city……"

"..." Liu Yue'er laughed lightly, "I don't want to say serious words, but I want to say the word 'cheat'. How many people do you think they lied to you?"

"Isn't it all?" Lin Fu smiled and asked Liu Yue'er, "Come to the city with me tomorrow?"

"What can I do with you?" Liu Yue'er asked, "Besides, you rarely come to the city, why don't you want to see Miss Su?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Bie asked.

Of course Liu Yue'er was reluctant to meet Su Mei or Xiaoman, because their identities were inexplicable, and it would be more embarrassing to meet them.

At this time, I heard the drumbeat of the message from the prison island. Lin Fu frowned and stood up. He saw someone on the high wall of Jiangdao prison waving a turpentine torch regularly. At the signal to return to the island, Lin Fu felt strange: It's almost midnight, and all the prisoners are in prison. What else can happen on the island?
