Lord of the House

In addition to the people around him, Lin Fu also trusted Lin Mengde more.

In addition to being both party members and forest clans in Dongyang Township, the more important thing is to get along with each other for a few months, help each other in Jiangning, and establish more trust and support for each other.

Except for the part of the elite soldiers that had been secretly hidden and prepared to be sent to Changshan Island, and the kidnapping of the vassal Zhimei and the ransom of the vassal family for Xiaoman, in the elegant room, Lin Fujiang explained almost everything that happened in the past few days in detail. After listening to Lin Mengde, it was the conditions that Gu Wuchen and Wang Xueshan negotiated secretly, and Lin Fu did not hide it from Lin Mengde.

"My dear, after hearing about the Dongshi incident, I went to Jiyunju to look for you. You didn't come back. I heard Miss Liu talk about it. As long as Gu Wuchen supports you, you should be able to stand tall. The next day I woke up. I was in a hurry to go to Tuzhou to collect a batch of goods, but I didn't expect to miss such a wonderful thing," Lin Mengde smacked his lips in surprise, and said, "It seems that the obstacle to inviting the township party to build the estuary together is clear. You don't even need Jiyun Club to build it, but are you willing to let Zhao Qinmin take care of it?"

"In the Dongyang Township Party, most of them have families and businesses, and it is natural for the township parties to help each other, but how many people will accompany their families? On the contrary, someone like Zhao Qinmin who has no support and no support, Gu Wuchen is even more I'm willing to use it. I set up my own business in Jiangning, and I'm satisfied to have Jiyun Club." Lin Fu said with a smile.

When the ruling and opposition parties were fiercely fighting against each other and cronies, they did not have enough interests, and it was difficult to tie others to the boat.

Lin Mengde also grinned and smiled. He didn't believe that Lin Bie was really satisfied, but as a person who knew how to advance and retreat, Lin Bie still had to rely on Gu Wuchen's power in Jiangning.

Inviting the Dongyang Township Party to build the Hekou, although Lin Fu promised Gu Wuchen to let Zhao Qinmin take charge, but Zhao Qinmin also had a great inconvenience, that is, Zhao Qinmin was afraid of sending someone to assassinate Wang Xueshan, so he did not dare to leave the Hekou easily, so he still needed someone Run outside to get in touch. After all, Lin Jingzhong's qualifications are too low, and people in the Dongyang Township Party are not very popular. Lin Mengde has been in charge of the Lin family in Jiangning for many years. He is also very keen on the township party affairs and is highly respected by the Dongyang Township Party. Zhang Yubo and others are also closely related. In Lin Fu's opinion, no one is more suitable for this person than Lin Mengde.

"Although the geographical conditions of the estuary are good, it is isolated outside the city, and the water is open to the sky. It is difficult for the 100 prison guards on the prison island to give people such a solid sense of security," Lin Fu said to Lin Mengde. To dispel the scruples in everyone's hearts, I also need Uncle Mengde to work hard to persuade from house to house... With the soldiers and horses, I have started to select and prepare for the establishment of the military guards of Jiyun Society in the past two days. There is a group of flying paddles in the Longjiang Shipyard. The car and the boat, the bow is covered with iron and has a bronze horn ram. In addition to the paddles, there are eight pedal wheels on both sides. It travels on the water as fast as a galloping horse. This was customized by Jiangning Water Camp. The first batch had already been brought to Jiangning Water Camp. However, seeing that Qin Chengbo was about to leave Jiangning, he naturally refused to let go of the silver bag. Longjiang Shipyard saw that he could not get the silver, so naturally He refused to send bait to the door, but the boat was in his hand, and he did not dare to sell it privately to other houses. However, the prison island side can get the approval of the police officer and can buy it. If there are changes in the river mouth in the future, the prison island martial artist can quickly To help, you can also intercept bandits on the water..."

"After Li Zhuo arrives in Jiangning, I'm afraid he will rectify his armaments..." Lin Mengde said.

"Well, Li Zhuo is indeed far from being equal to people like Qin Chengbo," Lin Fu nodded, "but here are all arrogant soldiers, and the factions in the army are also intertwined, and it is difficult for Li Zhuo to rectify the armament. , the key is to have money. However, the openings in all aspects will definitely become tighter due to the arrival of Li Zhuo, and it will be more difficult to get good things from the Longjiang Shipyard or the Armament Bureau in the future. In the second penalty fee, we can still share more than 4,000 taels of silver. Originally, we only planned to buy two flying paddle boats, but I decided to buy two more because I was afraid that after this village, there would be no such shop..."

The flying paddle car ship is a small and medium-sized warship, which can carry 16 sailors and 30 soldiers. Due to the special reinforcement of the hull, the bow is covered with iron and the collision bar is added, which is much more expensive than the passenger and cargo ships with the same load. But one cost only four hundred taels of silver, which is far from being comparable to the three-masted ship of a thousand stones. After the addition of manpower on the prison island, there were only more than 180 military soldiers. Even if Lin Fu wanted to buy a few more ships of this light and fast warship, he had no better excuse.

"..." Lin Mengde nodded and said, "I have saved thousands of taels of silver in Jiangning over the years. I originally wanted to transfer it to Jiyun Club in private, but now I haven't thought about other things, so I simply First go directly to the Hekou to build a few shops, it can be regarded as an example in the township party, and the people of the clan know nothing about it..."

"Okay," Lin Fu also nodded and said yes. Jiyun Club was created by him to separate from the Lin family and set up his own business in Jiangning. Even if everyone in the Lin family was reluctant, they were helpless. After all, Lin Mengde was the manager of the Lin family in Jiangning. Besides, he was warned not to help Jiyun Club privately. Although Lin Mengde didn't take this warning too seriously, he couldn't blatantly take a silver stake in Jiyun Club. At this time, Hekou invited Gu Wuchen's name. The township party co-founded, and Lin Mengde invested the money she had saved privately to build some shops for rent. The Lin family knew there was nothing they could do.

Lin Mengde didn't know how long the head of the family, Lin Tingxun, could endure in bed. He was afraid that after Lin Tingxun returned to the west, it would be difficult for the seventh lady to continue to be in power, and it would be difficult for him to continue to manage in Jiangning. Lin Mengde is in his prime, even if he doesn't continue to be a steward in Jiangning for the Lin family, how can he be willing to go back to the forest to retire?

To leave before the city gate was closed, Lin Fu held a banquet for the Dongyang Township Party in the clubhouse. The banquet was held before the sun set. During the banquet, he told everyone about the situation of the river mouth and invited the Dongyang Township Party in Jiangning to raise funds for the joint construction. Estuary platform. Although many people have concerns, but in name, this matter still has to be called by Gu Wuchen. In the Dongyang Township Party in Jiangning, Gu Wuchen is the leader. Usually, I just hate that I don’t have much relationship with it. I don’t respond at all at this time. They would not answer, and thirty or forty people responded on the spot and went to Hekou to take a look in the past two days.

*********

Lin Fu and Zhao Qinmin rushed out of the city before the city gate closed, and rode on their horses. The moonlight fell on the official road of Donghua Gate, and the surroundings seemed to be immersed in water, transparent and clear.

After the city gates were closed, there were suddenly fewer pedestrians on the official road, but there were also business travelers who were just as busy as Lin Fu and the others, leaving the city in ruts.

In the past few days, an abruptly stepped avenue from the Donghuamen Official Road to the Hekou, but this road could not be soaked in water, a spring rain that was as crisp as oil, and a few heavy ox and horse carts ran over, It will become muddy and muddy, and it is necessary to ram the earth to lay gravel or charcoal slag, and repair the drainage ditch, so as to become a durable road for carriages and horses.

Lin Fuxin Ma Yourein, looking at the scenery under the moonlight with interest; Zhao Qinmin was like a frightened bird, watching a pedestrian approaching, the hairs were all blown up, and it was inconvenient to urge Lin Bie to hurry, I only hope that Zhou Pu and the four guards and soldiers can Be vigilant.

In this horribly trampled field, some farmers and tenants are ploughing and replanting, and some people in shabby clothes are squatting at the top of the field.

Lin Bie got off his horse and walked to the field ridge, only to see these peasants squatting at the top of the field looking at the farmland that was trampled in disgrace. Lin Fu asked an old farmer: "Dare to ask the old man, didn't Moling County lose money for the young crops, why are everyone squatting in the fields and worrying if they don't rush to replant before Grain Rain?"

"The farm is owned by one's own family, and of course there is money for the young crops; the farm is not owned by the farm, and all the money for the young crops is taken by the rent collector and the owner of the farm, saying that this is the money that the owner and the rent collector deserved - this land is clearly Our tenants farm, but the lord who pays the money doesn’t agree with this principle!” The old farmer’s face was wrinkled like an old tree, and his face was filled with sadness, “I heard that there was a notice posted at the mouth of the river, and the land needs to be requisitioned here. Road. The rent collection depot has also spoken on behalf of the landowner. It is only natural for the official family to reclaim the land and build the road, but the rent that should be paid in various places should not be less than a grain of rice..."

At the beginning, Lin Fu was afraid that some of the compensation to the tenant villagers would be deducted and fell into his own pocket, so he specially discussed with Chen/Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo. Anyway, he would not be able to lose a few money. A notice was posted on the outside of the wall asking farmers who suffered losses in the field to go directly to the Hekou to receive compensation for the young crops. At that time, it was clearly explained that the money for land acquisition was given to the landowner, and the money for the young crops was given to the farmers or tenants as compensation for replanting and land tax. It should also be exempted from the disaster, and the rent collection store should not intervene. Unexpectedly, under the nose, others can reach out as they want, without any scruples.

Lin Fu remembered that a screener of Chen/Yuanliang, the household secretary office of Moling County, and Zhao Qinmin were in charge of this matter. After all, there were many things that were inconvenient for Zhao Qinmin to directly participate in.

Even if Zhao Qinmin didn't know about it, Lin Fu couldn't guarantee that Chen/Yuanliang didn't know about it. He could only pretend he didn't know about it. Lin Fu didn't say anything. If the water was clear, there would be no fish. He asked Zhou Pu to take out all the copper coins he had. He came out and distributed it to the old farmer and a few farmers in the field, saying: "Fan old man and a few eldest brothers have announced to the tenants here that a carriage road will be built from the Hekou to the Donghuamen Official Road, as long as the tenants who have losses in the fields go Helping workers, providing a meal for three liters of rice a day..."

"Really, this little brother can't use words to coax people?" The old peasant stared at Lin Fu and asked. Lin Fu entered the city for personal affairs. Not only him, but even the four guards and soldiers changed their clothes, so the villagers naturally didn't recognize him.

Lin Bie said with a smile: "You go to Hekou tomorrow to ask, if I say nothing, it will only make you go away for nothing..."

"Sir Lin is the prisoner of Jiangdao Prison, and he is responsible for the construction of the road. What is there for you idiots to be deceived?" Zhao Qinmin scolded lightly from the side, but he thought that these people were talking too much.

"Offend me, I don't know if it's an adult," the old farmer hurriedly lay down and kowtowed to Lin Bing, "It's because the little old man doesn't know how to lift up a suspicious adult, three liters of rice is a meal, and there was no such good money last year. I've come here too much, and the price has dropped to two liters of brown rice a day, and I don't care about rice..."

Although most of the refugees were blocked from crossing the river on the north bank, there were still quite a few refugees who crossed the river in the name of befriending relatives and friends or smuggled across the river directly, which made the price of power on the south bank drop and the price of rice rose.

Lin Fu helped the old farmer up from the ground without saying much~www.wuxiax.com~ mounted the horse, and said to Zhao Qinmin, "I think Mr. Zhao is in a hurry to go back, so why don't you take advantage of the moonlight to run wildly on your horse? It's a rare pleasure..." Then he ordered Zhou Pu and the others, "Be careful not to let Mr. Zhao fall off his horse." Just as the moonlight was driving the horse with the whip, it galloped towards the river mouth.

Zhao Qinmin had never ridden a fast horse before, and he had to follow Lin Bie in the moonlight to drive the horse. If he fell down at night, he would even cry. Although Zhou Pu and others were guarding him, Zhao Qinmin didn't fall off the horse and returned to the fence, but his buttocks were aching, and he vaguely felt that the tender meat between the spans had rubbed the skin of the ten-mile ground.

"It's so happy," Lin Fu got off the horse when he got to the fence, spit out a long voice, and said to Zhao Qinmin, "Mr. Zhao has also worked hard all day, go back to rest early."

After separating from Zhao Qinmin, he handed over the horses to the guards and the soldiers and led them to the shed. Zhou Pu glanced at Zhao Qinmin's back and said, "Zhao Qinmin is not a good bird? I don't know what benefits he can get!" Knowing that Lin Fu rides a fast horse at night to give Zhao Qinmin some hardship.

"...He didn't dare to be greedy for money when he first came, and he wouldn't be in a hurry to be greedy for money, but it doesn't prevent him from giving benefits to others. He is a smart person." Lin Fu shook his head and sighed. Zhao Qinmin was Wang Xueshan's staff. How much could be expected of him? Lin Fu placed Zhao Qinmin's family in the estuary instead of going to a safer prison island, that is to guard against him. Many things can be known to Zhao Qinmin. I am afraid that Gu Wuchen will reuse him, and these things can't be hidden from him. The contacts with Changshan Island can't let Zhao Qinmin see anything.
