Lord of the House: Chapter 102 April Fang Fei 3
The spring water is shallow and green, the waves are like jade, and the light boat drifts with the current.
Gao Zongting, a famous scholar in western Zhejiang, was standing in the bow of the canoe in a blue shirt, looking towards the estuary. Over the estuary, the first sailboat with a capacity of a thousand stones under the Jiyun Society was breaking out. Lin Bie and everyone stood on the bow to appreciate the wind and waves. Excited, Gao Zongting withdrew his gaze and said to a middle-aged scribe in front of him, "Commander, that person is Dongyang Juzi Lin Bie, who has built up a lot of fame in Jiangning City for the past few months!"
"I was talking to Chen Xiyan in Xixi the day before yesterday, and Chen Xiyan called him a pig-herd madman's ears..." The middle-aged scribe, with a short beard and white face, was nearly fifty years old, but his temples were dyed frost-white. He looked towards the river mouth with a smile on his face.
"There is an allusion to this. After the island was cleared of prison, Gu Wuchen visited the island three times to inspect, and Lin Fu had to tell Gu Wuchen about raising pigs and watching the shed. These things came out of the mouth of the clerk of the inspector, saying: Dongyang Juzi is not a writer, especially good at raising pigs, fishing and digging bird droppings. Qingliu, a scholar, is regarded as a joke. Besides, when others come to Jiangning, they first make bad relations with the vassal family, and Dongcheng Jinger hates them to the core. Good things are said to be passed down, and Xixi has a good reputation, and Chen Xiyan really has no good things to say about him..." Gao Zongting laughed.
"Digging bird droppings?" the middle-aged scribe asked suspiciously, "I have never heard of this, what is the purpose of digging bird droppings?"
"It's really hard to inquire about things on Prison Island, but it's not difficult for people with a heart," Gao Zongting said with a smile, "The purpose of digging bird droppings is to accumulate fertilizer. Before prison cells were built, Prison Island used to be a Bird Island. However, there is a large amount of bird droppings accumulated in the jungle. When the vegetable garden was replanted on the island of prison, the soil was mixed with bird droppings and the soil was replanted. Naturally, people had to be used to dig the bird droppings. Although Chen Xiyan disdained Dongyang Juzi, I feel that the pig herders are really suitable for this. Others only think that the pigs on the prison island are for meat, but the sheds in the pig sty on the prison island are bedded with hay and compost, which is another important source of fertilizer for the vegetable garden in addition to the bird droppings on the island. This method of composting, I When I was in Shaowu, I saw some farmers adopt it, and it was quite effective. Pigs are really not tired of being dirty, the pens are unclean, and the pigs are not thin, and a pig is cultivated to be slaughtered. , the production of the land increased by more than two shi, and the villagers benefited a lot by following the example. However, after Shaowu imposed the pig tax, this method was abolished. I have never heard of other places using this method to raise pigs and compost. After the New Year’s Day, he went to Prison Island, and after he was cleared of prison, he had real power. It has only been more than two months in the past. Prison Island has already supplied vegetables to the estuary. The soil and fertilizer are also intensively cultivated. "
"I have a question," the middle-aged scribe asked, "I can actually reclaim wasteland on Guanyu Island, which can be turned into vegetable gardens, digging bird droppings to accumulate fertilizer, or raising pigs to compost, and one strategy is enough. , why do you think this Dongyang Juzi has to implement two strategies at the same time, in fact, it is not good for saving manpower? Besides, there are many things such as setting up weaving and spinning workshops, smelting furnaces, and wood workshops in prison. Prison force is too complicated..." He asked the young scribe next to him, "What do you think?"
"..." The young scribe frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid that the prison island can't hold his ambition..."
"Dongyang's ambition is really not a prison island that can hold it. Rather than a prison island, it is better to say that the prison island is a test ground for him to practice his ambition. I think he wanted to learn craftsmanship in Hekou, although he His identity is a bit arrogant, and he really can’t be regarded as an unconventional and grandstanding person,” Gao Zongting said, “However, in the eyes of scholar Qingliu, miscellaneous learning and craftsmanship are all things that are contemptible, and Chen Xiyan is a self-proclaimed great scholar in the world. Son of course."
"It's really rare for you to praise others," the middle-aged scribe laughed at Gao Zongting. He was quite satisfied with Gao Zongting's answer, and then asked the young scribe next to him, "What do you think of Dong Wen's bag?"
"It's not that I'm afraid that you won't be happy to hear it. If you talk about the talent of the world, there is no one in the world who can compare with you in the respect of the Dong Fu. Dongyang Juzi is an example." Gao Zongting rushed to the young scholar and smiled. .
The young scribe was Dong Yuan, the prefect of Weiyang House, and the middle-aged scribe was Li Zhuo, the former governor of East Fujian, known as the governor of the southeast. Although others respected Dong Yuan as Dong Fu Zun, Li Zhuo still called him Dong Yuan by his nickname in the army.
After Yue Zhiqiu, the minister of military affairs, arrived in Dongmin at the end of March, Li Zhuo quickly handed over the affairs of the governor of Dongmin with him. At this time, he was on his way to Jiangning to take office. His **** team had just left the Xianxia Ridge and walked slowly. He only brought a few plainclothes and light cavalry to Jiangning, and lived in the hut where Gao Zongting lived in seclusion. At this time, Jiang Ning knew that only two or three people had arrived. Gao Zongting had been living in seclusion outside Jiangning City for the past six months to watch the situation in Jiangning for Li Zhuo. , the guards on both sides of the boats are Dong Yuan's entourage.
Dong Yuan smiled and said: "In front of the commander-in-chief, I am not so arrogant and ignorant. I heard about this person in Baisha County, and there was really no surprise at that time. He and Jiangning's famous Ji Su Mei were robbed by the East China Sea bandits. After debating the file, he and Su Mei seem to have a secret relationship..."
"The Donghai bandit raided Weiyang Mansion for the beauty of talent and beauty. This is a story that storytellers have come up with. Naturally, there is another secret behind it, but it is difficult for others to know..." Gao Zongting said that when the Donghai bandit attacked Baisha County to rob people, he and Dong Yuan They were all in Baisha County, and he later suggested Dong Yuan to put the Baisha County robbery on the head of Dongting water bandits, "Xixi Pinjiang Ning people, pig house madmen Lie Mo, etc., if I think about it, pig house madmen can be listed. number one."
"It's a pity that he is a member of the Chu Party." Dong Yuan sighed.
"For the sake of the society, and at a time of crisis, you should abandon your previous suspicions and give up your view of the door." Li Zhuo Surong said.
"The superintendent and others have abandoned their previous quarrels, and I am afraid that others will not abandon their previous quarrels with the superintendent," Dong Yuan sighed softly, "If things in this world can be solved without any guilt, it will be much simpler; Chen Xiang is in danger at the center, Chu Will the party allow Chen Xiang to breathe a sigh of relief?"
Li Zhuo also sighed lightly, not expecting to convince Dong Yuan on this matter.
The light boat continued down the river and arrived at the river beach where Gao Zongting lived in seclusion. Li Zhuo and Gao Zongting had four other entourages ashore. Dong Yuan no longer stayed there. He came to Jiangning in private and had a secret meeting with Li Zhuo. Stop, and then take a light boat down the current and go to Weiyang. Jiangning and Weiyang are close to each other, and Gutang County on the north bank of the Jiangbei used to be Baisha County of Weiyang House.
Li Zhuo stood among the weeds and grass on the river bank, looking at the rolling water of the river, a few lonely sails dotted on the green water of the Spring River. After the ups and downs, he turned back and said to Gao Zongting: "Dong Wenshang mentioned the East China Sea bandits just now, I am worried that the East China Sea bandits are not just a disease of mustard moss."
"The key is to look at the northern line. If the northern line can drive the Donghu people out of Jibei, the luxury family will also suffer from mustard moss. I really don't understand why the imperial court does not need to supervise the commander?" In people's hearts, can She Ji really play like this? Chen Xiyan is also a machine thief."
"..." Li Zhuo looked at the river for a long time, and said leisurely, "We should do our best." Then he looked back at the direction of the river mouth and said to Gao Zongting, "It's boring left and right, it will take three or five days for the **** team to arrive in Jiangning, maybe we can go there. Talk to Dongyang Juzi, maybe it's more interesting than Dong Wenshang."
"It's really a possibility." Gao Zongting said with a smile.
************
Lin Bie was in Baisha County, and he only saw Gao Zongting and Dong Yuan from a distance. When he was at the mouth of the river, he was far away from the light boat that Dong Yuan and others were riding on, so he couldn't see his face clearly until the Qianshi sailboat was instructed by the big and small Loach Master to sail into the river bank. At the pier, Lin Fu was still thinking about who the three scribes at the bow of the boat were.
"Everyone said that this boat is good, the boat is easy to sail, it can go down the river, and it can reach Chongzhou day and night. Is it possible to practice in Chaotian Dang before it's too late to open my eyes..." Xiao Ji Pawning Xiao Mi watched Lin Fu and the others disembark, and gathered with everyone to congratulate them.
"Then try it out," Lin Fu readily agreed, and added, "This ship only needs 16 crew members to control it, the others will be withdrawn first, and then ten military guards will be sent up, and the ship will be in order. Well, the training should also have the appearance of training..."
The little loach Ge Cunxiong also got off the dock with the extra crew, and the ten military guards equipped with the ship went aboard. Go inside, and train on the vast water for everyone standing on the pier to watch.
The more than 20 people on the boat are all the elites of the anti-donation fishermen who were brought to Jiangning from Huai Shang by the big and small loach masters. In addition, there are more than 20 elites in Changshan Island among the refugees on the north bank of Chaotiandang, who will also act as black households to hide. Come on board. At present, in addition to regular drills, the entire crew must also participate in various actual combat emergency drills such as encounters with bandits, fires, and strong winds and waves.
Everyone praised the speed of the boat. If there is such a boat, if it encounters bandits, not only can the Wuwei take advantage of the height of the boat to unload the enemy, but the bottom ridge of the front of the boat is covered with black iron, and it can even rely on the boat on the wide water. The firm body rams the pirate ship, and it can also escape with the advantage of fast sailing with full sails.
"Nephew Lin, have you ever thought of giving this ship a lucky name?" Zhengye Tang Caidong Ye Kai asked with a smile.
"Ye Caidong is here, and I would like to ask Ye Caidong to give him a name..." Lin Fu said with a smile.
"Which green onion am I, or should I ask Mr. Zhao to give it to me?" Ye Kai said to Zhao Qinmin.
Gu Wuchen also really knows how to employ people, not because Zhao Qinmin was Wang Xuesan's assistant before, and he is also assured of using him in Hekou affairs. Every time he recalls that there is a private banquet in the mansion, Lin Fu also takes Zhao Qinmin's guard Zhou Quan to show his win over. Zhao Qinmin His son Zhao Jin was still recovering from his injured foot, and Gu Wuchen was always thinking about asking Gu Siming to bring good medicinal materials. Ye Kai and other township parties built houses and shops in Hekou, all through the hands of Zhao Qinmin, and naturally they also complimented him.
Lin Fu also smiled at Zhao Qinmin and said, "Mr. Zhao, please give me a name?"
"Then I'm going overboard. If you don't feel good, don't take my face seriously and say it directly," Zhao Qinmin and the pier last week bowed their hands and said with a smile, "Dongyang Township Party gathers at the mouth of the river, and everyone will be united. Sincerely to raise its business, how about the name of this ship 'Dongyang'?"
"Okay, okay," Lin Fu said with a smile, "I also have this intention. After a few days of training, this ship will go to Dongyang to transport new tea on its maiden voyage. It is named 'Dongyang', but it is not only a place The meaning is that the characters will be painted in these two days."
Everyone was satisfied when they heard Lin Bie, and naturally they all agreed.
Xiao Mi said flatteringly: "When the Dongyang ship entered the port, it felt towering and towering~www.mtlnovel.com~ At this time, when it entered the heart of the river, I really felt that it was a giant. It is rare to see such a giant ship, and Jiyun Club has purchased three ships at a time, which is really audacious!"
Lin Bing squinted at the sailboat Dongyang sailing towards the center of Chaotiandang waters with Zhang Manfan. The Dongyang ship has no cargo, only the side of the boat is three or four feet high, and there are two cabins at the stern, plus a wooden parapet on the top. It is almost 30 feet high, with all three masts full of sails, reaching a height of 10 feet. Against the backdrop of the surrounding fishing boats and cargo and passenger ships, it is indeed obviously extraordinary in appearance, like a king in the water.
Lin Bie smiled lightly. In his eyes, such a sailboat was still too small. The Dongyang ship has a calculated displacement of more than 100 tons and a cargo of more than 1,000 stones. Not to mention that compared with the later generations of giant ships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons and hundreds of thousands of tons, even Longjiang Shipyard has built a displacement of more than 2,000 tons in the past. eight-masted ship.
If you consider the water battle, the Dongyang and the four chariot and warship formations in the prison island do not need to be afraid of a small group of Jiang bandits even if they are not equipped with special combat equipment in Chaotian Dangli.
He watched the Dongyang drill with great interest on the Jiang'an pier. When it was getting late, Lin Fu invited the Dongyang Township Party at the Hekou Thatched Cottage to send everyone back to the city.
In the next few days, Lin Fu either watched the Dongyang train in Chaotian Dangdang on the river bank, or boarded the ship to watch the training in person. The soldiers were in Chaotiandangli and trained in formation with the Dongyang.
It was getting late, and the sun was setting on the river. Lin Fu sent the Dongyang to continue training in the sky. He changed boats and came ashore from the embankment pier. He saw two of the three scribes in the bow of the canoe standing on the embankment pier a few days ago. Looking at the Dongyang number in Chaotian Dangli.
