Lord of the House: Chapter 19 Great Victory in Western Liaoning

"It's too much to deceive people!" Back at the county office, Hu Dahai was indignant for Liu Tingzhou, beating his heart and lungs, and his words were fierce. Depending on the situation, if Lin Bie stood in front of him, he could rush up to take two bites.

Uncle Tang En had seen Hu Dahai following the dog in front of Lin Fu just now, as if he was too frightened to say a word, so he ignored his words at this time.

Xiao Kuian sat silently and was in a bad mood. Liu Tingzhou has a kindness for him. Although Liu Tingzhou has some practices, he may not agree with them all, but he is loyal to Liu Tingzhou and will not exceed his determination - Liu Tingzhou reprimands Lin Fu like this, how can he be in a good mood?

Liu Tingzhou's face was very ugly. Hu Dahai's words made him feel better, but he was not so incompetent that he really relied on Hu Dahai's two sentences to dispel the anger in his heart.

Compared with Lin Fu's bad attitude, Liu Tingzhou felt more uncomfortable. He was powerless to refute every rebuke of Lin Fu.

Compared with the impact that Fuxian County received this time, the Huaidong Military Division presided over the construction of such a large fortification to defend the seawall, but it was not affected at all.

In addition to the soldiers, the Huaidong Military Division also recruited laborers from the floating households in the surrounding villages. Today, there are not ten young people who are directly piled up on the construction sites of Hanhai Dike in Yandu, Jianling and Gaocheng counties. The number of thousands is almost the same.

The Huaidong Military Department offered laborers two and a half liters of rice per worker. The cost of the soldiers was unrecognizable. It would not be worse than the labor force. The monthly expenditure on rice grains is at least 80,000 shi.

Why did he, Liu Tingzhou, go to Huaidong Military Command to complain?

As for Lin Fu's large-scale organization of manpower to reclaim wasteland along the east coast of Huaidong, there is a suspicion of encroaching on the land in the salt area. Zhang Yan began to send people to stop and argue over and over again. After two months, he completely subsided and stopped talking about it. .

Why? Without him, Jinhai Grain Road is completely sucking grain from grain merchants.

Nowadays, the price of rice in Jiangdong has risen sharply, and compared with the price of grain in Shandong, the profit is already very low.

Although grain merchants kept asking for price increases, Huaidong Military Division remained silent on this matter. , so as long as small and medium-sized grain merchants can barely maintain, nothing will happen.

But it is also obvious that no one should mess with Huaidong, and don't want Lin Bie behind the scenes to support the collective demands of grain merchants to raise prices by 30%.

The Jinhai Grain Road is responsible for the annual supply of 2.5 million shi of rice grains for the Gyeonggi and Yanbei defense lines. Jinhai settles the price of rice at 128 yuan per shi. Raise an extra 13,400,000 taels of silver - it's better to jump off a cliff.

Liu Tingzhou suspects that Lin Fuzhen is determined to kick him out of Huai'an Mansion. Will Jiangning or the imperial court object?

****************

"The commander-in-chief is related to the supply of the Huaidong Army, and it is related to the stability of Huaidong. But the job of the commander-in-chief is unsatisfactory. It is because Liu Tingzhou, Master Liu, is distracted. At this time, Master Liu should be in charge of the affairs of the commander-in-chief." Liang Wenzhan said, "If you want to come to the court and Jiangning, you will seriously consider this matter..."

Liang Wenzhan said politely, but he actually suggested that the military commander directly kick Liu Tingzhou out of the prefect of Huaian.

Lin Bie frowned and asked, "Who do you think is suitable for the seat of the prefect of Huai'an?" If the seat of the prefect of Huai'an is given to someone who is more inconspicuous, it would be better for Liu Tingzhou to keep it.

"Master Liu Shidu," Liang Wenzhan said, "Master Liu Shidu has a political voice in governing Hailing, and being able to come to Huai'an will be a blessing for the gentlemen and people of Huai'an..."

Huai'an Mansion has always been more important than Hailing Mansion. Liu Shidu's transfer to Huai'an to replace Liu Tingzhou can be regarded as a small promotion.

It's just that the prefect's important position for the fifth grade is probably the most important central key point for the imperial court to control the place. Lin Bie's attempt to interfere in the appointment of prefect-level officials is a great overstep.

Liang Wenzhan didn't say who would be more suitable to replace Liu Shidu as the prefect of Hailing; Lin Fu didn't ask a word either - the two of them had the same mind with each other: At present, apart from Lin Fu who also serves as the prefect of Hailing, there is no other thing that makes Huai more than this. East desires.

Liang Wenzhan continued: "Jinhai grain road is trapped by the increase in food prices in Jiangdong, maybe the court has seen the difficulty, maybe it hasn't seen it yet, why should the adults file a document to tell it, if it's even hard work It would be too humiliating to not go up there..."

Lin Fu frowned and thought: No matter whether it was directly submitted by him or not, it is impossible for the court and Jiangning to misunderstand what they meant. Threatening with Jinhai's grain dao and seeking the post of prefect of Hailing is a bit naked/naked!

Lin Fu did not immediately confirm to accept Liang Wenzhan's suggestion, but just nodded and said, "I will seriously consider this..."

After saying some other things, Liang Wenzhan said goodbye and left.

"The situation is such that I can't bear to look forward to the future." Song Jia was in no hurry to speak in front of others. At this time, she put down the pen tube in her hand and said, "Even if you want to protect Jinhai's food supply, you must come to the Hailing Mansion. One post - although Chongzhou has some grain reserves, the supply of grain to Jinhai will only be enough for the spring and summer of next year."

"That's true..." Lin Bie nodded.

Huaidong grain storage has been secretly carried out since July, and in September, it is divided into two parts: official storage and private storage.

The official reserve is dominated by the Huaidong Military Division, who borrowed 1 million taels of silver from Huaidong Bank, and stored a total of 1.5 million shi of grain. The people's reserves are mainly Heishuiyang Shipbuilding Society, Jiyun Society, and Linji, and the grain storage is about 1.8 million stone.

The grain reserves of the Huaidong Military Division are mainly used to meet the needs of Huaidong's military and various industries and villages - the civilian reserve is to meet the supply of Jinhai grain roads.

Before next summer, it is the seaworthy period for shipping. As long as there are no major changes in the north, 1.6 million stone grains will be shipped to Jinhai before next summer and autumn.

At present, the Huaidong Military Division is focusing on the overall situation and is pressing not to let grain merchants raise prices, and it can only support the spring and summer of next year - also because many grain merchants, including Heishuiyang Shipping Society, due to the timely storage of grain, according to The original price of supplying the Jinhai grain road is also quite profitable, and it can even supply rice grain to small and medium-sized grain merchants, so the military division can bear it without raising the price, and there is no problem.

But when the grain storage is finished, no matter how shameless Lin Fu is, it is impossible for grain merchants to supply Jinhai Grain Road willingly at a loss. At that time, it must be ensured that there will be a large amount of cheap rice grains to supply Jinhai Grain Road. In addition to transporting grain from Haidong, the best way is to count on a considerable increase in the summer and autumn grains of Hailing and Huai'an Prefectures next year.

Whether it is public or private, the seat of the prefect of Hailing will be robbed.

Lin Fu picked up the charcoal pen from the pen holder and spread out a piece of paper, thinking about how to use the words appropriately.

Song Jia stood aside without saying a word, knowing that Lin Fu was going to write a letter to Gu Wuchen.

To use Liu Shidu to replace Liu Tingzhou as the prefect of Huai'an, and Lin Fu to take over the post of Hailing prefect, he must not hide it at all, and he must give some face to the court and Jiangning. How to handle this matter, Lin Fu naturally has to discuss with Gu Wuchen.

Let others help Jin Yan to open up the matter, and let Gu Wuchen bargain with Yue Lengqiu and Ning Wangfu in Jiangning, so that there is room for negotiation and buffering - you have to be prepared for a sudden stalemate, and there is no room for each other to go down the stairs. Bad things.

After Lin Fu finished writing the letter, he asked Song Jia to read it for him. There was no problem, so he put it in the letter and stamped it. He was about to call the guards and send a quick horse to Jiangning to deliver the letter - Zhou Pu rushed to take it I copied a letter in:

"Jibei Army conquered Songshan, this is the capital passed down from the capital..."

Now the cavalry battalion assumes the position of the resident guard, Lin Fu goes north to patrol, and Zhou Pu personally leads five hundred cavalry guards to accompany the guards. If it was an ordinary pond copy, Zhou Pu would not have taken it and ran over in person.

Lin Bie was not happy but surprised, took Tang Copy over, opened it and read it carefully, frowning more and more the more he looked.

"I heard that Li Bingbu won a great victory in western Liaoning!" Liu Tingzhou rushed in excitedly, but the guards outside the door couldn't stop him, so he could only follow up embarrassedly.

From Liu Tingzhou's face, he couldn't see the bad luck he had reprimanded before.

Lin Fu waved his hand and asked the guards to withdraw, ignoring Liu Tingzhou and the others and rushing into his military tent.

When the capital is successful, the post riders will shout along the way to boost morale. Therefore, many people did not see Tang Chao, but they knew about the victory of Western Liaoning~www.mtlnovel.com~ Liang Wenzhan also came later.

"Lord Liu, look..." Lin Fu handed the copy of the tang to Liu Tingzhou and circulated it to everyone, but he sat back in his seat and said nothing.

"Okay, Changle bandits are heading south to Qichun, and the situation in Jiangdong is stagnant. We should have this great victory to boost our morale!" Liu Tingzhou held Tangchao in one hand and used his fingers to read on the paper, his eyebrows dancing, and Hu Dahai did not care about the rules. , put his head on Liu Tingzhou's body, and shouted excitedly: "How wonderful, wonderful! The battle of Songshan was killed and over 10,000 were captured, and the main force of the captured soldiers was staying in Datong at this time. It seems that the Liao land is just around the corner!"

Lin Fu ignored the excitement of Liu Tingzhou, Hu Dahai and others. He handed the letter he just wrote to Zhou Pu and said, "Send someone to Jiangning!"

Liu Tingzhou didn't know for a while what urgent letter Lin Fu had to send to Jiangning; Liang Wenzhan could guess, but he wondered, is the victory of Liaoxi West meaningless to the whole situation?

Liu Tingzhou is also a knowledgeable and capable official. Seeing that he is so excited about the victory in Western Liaoning, he has no desire to say a word in his heart, but just sits there with a cold expression.

Chuanjie Tangchao came from Beijing, and the battle situation was decorated too much, so that people could not get a glimpse of the details of the battle of Songshan.

Even if Tang Chao truthfully copied the battle report from the north, Songshan City was the outskirts of Liaoyang, the capital of Donghu, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were just over 10,000 people, which was too few. Lin Fu knew Donghu well. ability to mobilize people.

Lin Fu even more hoped that the northern expedition of the Jibei Army would return after a setback, and a small victory without decisive significance, even if it was not a trap of the Donghu people, would only make the minds of the court princes more aggressive, and only made the expedition army and Yanji set up.
