Lord of the House: Chapter 28 Jin\'an Hou Jin playing envoy

The twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month is the Kai Foundation Festival, which is the anniversary of Taizu's enthronement. It is similar in meaning to the National Day after a thousand years. The difference is that in addition to the official government's lanterns and decorations, there are people in the government. Apart from that, the common people did not have much enthusiasm.

On this day, the Gu family arrived in Jiangning with more than 1,000 catties of tea. With the acquiescence of the Seventh Madam and Lin Mengde, the merchant ship carrying the tea goods had no accident on the waterway, and Wu Qi and others also came with the ship.

At the beginning, there were seven people in Huai Shangli Ma Kou and Wu Qi who had accompanied Wu Qi to Shanglin as a horse dealer. This time, four of them came, and three others stayed in Shanglin, beside the seventh lady, Gu Yingxiu. Although Gu Yingxiu has Gu Wuchen as her backing, Lin Tingli, Lin Zonghai, Lin Xuzong and others will not blame her too much, but they must also beware of villains jumping over the wall and making black hands behind their backs. Besides, the seventh lady, Gu Yingxiu, also needs to be summoned.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was thin and overcast. When Wu Qi and the others came over, there were already snowflakes in the north of the river, but the south bank of the river had never snowed this winter.

"The day before yesterday, Dongyang prefect Shen Rong arrived in Shanglinli on an official boat for inspection, saying that he had asked the Minister of Xuanfu to reward Lin Zonghai, the commander of the Shanglinli Township Battalion, with a hat of a deputy lieutenant of the cloud cavalry and a senior military attache..." Wu Qidao Jiang Ning didn't have time to take a sip of tea until he hurried Lin Jingzhong back from the tea shop. He talked about some things that happened in the forest during this period of time. Some things could not be described in detail in the letter.

"Shen Rong has never given up his efforts to incorporate the village camp into the Dongyang government army," Lin Jingzhong shook his head and sighed, "He has done this kind of thing once before..."

"A seventh-rank military attaché's hat is a piece of shit," Zhao Hu spent two years in Shanglinli Township Camp. Knowing what Shanglinli Township Camp was like, he was a little disdainful of Shen Rong's efforts, and spoke a little rudely. "Shanglinli Township Battalion's five hundred strong and brave soldiers are raised by the Lin family with nearly 10,000 taels of silver every year. If Shen Rong can spend so much money every year, even if the township camp is forcibly incorporated into the army and horse division, what can the Lin family say? If Shen Rong can't get the money to support the soldiers, and insists on incorporating the village camp into the army and horse division, and the Lin family comes to the bottom of the pot and cuts off the support, then it will be a big trouble for Shen Rong."

Although Zhao Hu was not as meticulous as Lin Jingzhong, he understood the superficial truth of raising soldiers with a lot of money.

Lin Fu shook his head and said, "When Lin Tingxun was in charge, Shen Rong's small actions were nothing. The key problem now is Lin Zonghai - Lin Zonghai is not the son of his own sect, and in the future, no matter who it is, it will not be Lin Zonghai's turn to be the Lin family. On the contrary, Lin Zonghai is the first person to guard against when others become the head of the family. In addition, the village camp in Shanglin is based on the children of the Lin family, and most of the villagers are soldiers of Shanglin. Generally speaking, Lin Zonghai is Those who cannot control the village camp independently from the Lin family - I'm afraid that if Shen Rong shows his favor a little, Lin Zonghai will go all out to cater to the past..."

"What's the second master's attitude towards this matter?" Lin Jingzhong asked, Lin Tingli was the judge of Dongyang Mansion, and his status in Dongyang Mansion was second only to Shen Rong. of.

"It's hard to say, if he just petitioned Lin Zonghai to increase his military rank, it would be hard for Lin Tingli to object—Shen Rong might not want to immediately incorporate Shanglinli Township into the government's army. It's enough for the situation in Shanglin to become more complicated and the Lin family to become more divided." Lin Fu said, he thought that Shen Rong should know the reason why he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Figure it out slowly.

Of course, Lin Fu is not worried about the future of the Lin family by thinking this way. Anyway, the divided Lin family is also beneficial to him. The marginalized, the less the resources of the Lin people can be used. If Lin Tingxun can properly manage the affairs of the Lin family, it is a dream that he wants to deliver the tea from the Gu family to Jiangning with the help of the Seventh Madam and Lin Mengde.

"Sigh..." Lin Jingzhong sighed softly. The concept he had instilled since childhood was to put the Lin Clan first in everything. Thinking of the bleak future of the Lin Clan, he was naturally a little worried.

"It's useless to think too much about this," Lin Fu thought to himself that Lin Tingxun, who had a stroke in bed, was the biggest uncertainty. Too much thought was useless. Shanglinli could only take a step by step, and Jiangning could lay the foundation as soon as possible. First, he said to Lin Jingzhong, "There is a lack of a driver in the tea shop, I will send someone over there, and I will send two horses over there. The people are driving in the past, so don't let Gu Tianqiao and the others notice anything strange..."

"Okay," Lin Jingzhong already knew the identities of Zhou Pu and others and Lin Fu's plan to establish a foothold in Jiangning. When he was in the forest, he would naturally panic and don't know what to do. After arriving in Jiangning, his whole personality His mood has changed a lot. Under the influence of Lin Bie, he has a cautious temperament, and he also has a strong temperament. What if he doesn't think so? Taking Zhao Hu's words, he has already boarded the pirate boat. He looked at the thin and thin man who looked like a Zhuanghu person pointed by Lin Bie, and asked, "What's your surname?"

"Lin Wuye, you are the steward of Jiyun Club. You can call me Zhou Blind." The man said, his left eye was covered with an ugly scar, which looked shocking at first glance.

Lin Bie pointed at Zhou Blind's eyes and said to Lin Jingzhong, "Zhou Blind's left eye was injured by an arrow. In order to cover up the arrow wound, he cut the upper and lower skin of his left eye with a knife..."

Lin Jingzhong could hear the two eggs/eggs below twitching slightly, thinking that these rude pirates are really cruel to him, no wonder they have been on Huaihuai for nearly ten years. Compared with these real desperados, the local ruffians in Jiangning City are really too childish, but he doesn't understand what Lin Fu wants to do by putting such a number one person in the tea shop as a driver.

"Now we are like walking on tightrope in Jiangning City..." Lin Fu continued. He wanted to say "steel rope" but he was afraid that Lin Jingzhong would not understand what a steel rope was, so he changed the word, "We need to open up the situation in Jiangning as soon as possible, everywhere. Traveling in danger is like walking on a wire, and I don't know when I will encounter an unimaginable danger. I put Zhou Blind and two fast horses on the side of the tea shop, just in case. If you don't encounter particularly difficult things, don't let Zhou Blind be a dispatch other than a coachman..."

Zhou Blind smiled: "I'm also a good driver at driving."

Lin Jingzhong nodded, feeling that Lin Fu was thinking this way to be more secure. He said to Lin Fu, "I'll lead him over there, saying it's your distant relative. He has a very dull temper and is not easy to get close to..."

"Let Blind Zhou lead the horse to the tea shop by himself," Lin Fu said, "you go out of the city with us."

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

Wu Qi and the others brought a lot of horses with the boat this time. They rode the horses on the icy dirt road. Lin Fu looked up at the cloudy sky and thought that it would snow on the south bank, right? Reined in the horse and walked slowly, waiting for Lin Jingzhong to follow from behind.

"The tea shop in Jiangning has opened up. The next step we will do is to open a tea shop in Chongzhou as well. In this way, the commercial road from Shanglin to Jiangning and then to Chongzhou can be considered a prototype," Lin Fu said. "The next step is to build a warehouse in Jiangning. Bulk goods will be transported from Jiangning to Chongzhou. Before transferring from the inland river to Chongzhou County, the ship will stop in the middle of the river to distribute the goods, so it is easy to transport the required materials unknowingly. Go to Changshan Island..."

Wu Qi put his legs lightly on the horse's belly, followed Zhou Pu from behind, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Lin Ye hasn't planned for us rogues in the past ten years. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to be a bereaved dog like today."

"It's easier said than done. We must have an excuse to stop the ship in the middle of the river and distribute the goods." Lin Fu said.

"Naturally, the boat is too big. I'm afraid that it will be shallow when entering the inland river. It must be stopped in the middle of the river to be packaged by a small boat..." Wu Qi said with a smile.

"Then we have to buy a five-masted ship to run the cargo," Lin Bie asked. "If you can't say that the three-masted ship is too big, you will be afraid of entering the inland river."

"Well, it's a five-masted ship," Wu Qi nodded and added, "In addition, Chongzhou should use as many people as possible not related to Jiang Ning, so as to avoid being exposed when distributing goods..."

"Chongzhou, it's up to you to be in charge," Lin Fu said, stopping his horse to stop on the ridge beside the official road, "I don't have time to go to Chongzhou again, Jiangning's Ministry of Personnel has already issued a document calling me Go over tomorrow and ask the right question. After becoming a prison officer, Jiang Ning can’t easily get away from his side—Chongzhou side, either you, Lord Crow, go there in person, or send two people over to take care of…”

"I'm still staying in Jiangning, Mr. Lin, you need more people," Wu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, Mr. Qin and the others are close to Chongzhou. Although Mr. Qin didn't send anyone to look for us during this time, I think they did. I should send someone to land in Chongzhou, I just need to send someone to contact and bring all these plans to Mr. Qin and they will be fine..."

"Yeah!" Lin Bie nodded. He only had Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu by his side. He always felt that there were not enough manpower. Zhou Blind didn't move as a secret move.

At this time, hundreds of knights in front came with five or six carriages, and the two leading knights at the front of the line carried two vermilion pennants. The flag was wrapped in the wind and was not unfolded, and it was impossible to see who was riding in the carriage. Judging from the momentum, it was not small. Lin Fu and the others dismounted, and led the horse to the side to make way for the people who entered the city.

When the carriage and the cavalry team approached, a gust of north wind blew and unfolded the flag. Lin Fu was startled when he saw it. The flag read "Jian'an Houfu Jiangning Jin" in two columns of splendid characters of different sizes. Unexpectedly, in addition to Qingfenghang, the luxury family has openly sent people to Jiangning. It has not been two days since the imperial court's decision to seal the She family as hereditary Marquis of Jinan arrived in Jiangning, and the official list has not been released to the public yet.

The Jinzongyuan is similar in nature to the later Beijing Office. It is the liaison office of the three yamen in each county (Xuanfu Envoy, Zancha Envoy, and Admiral's Office). The envoy of Jin is responsible for reporting the military and civilian information of the county to the court, presenting the county's statement, and they will also convey to the county any edicts and letters from the court~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Marquis of Jin An is the only rift in this dynasty. The real power of supporting the army is nobility, and its status is not under the three divisions of the county, so it naturally has the power to send the court to the court.

This dynasty set up the memorial court in Yanjing and Jiangning, but Jiangning was far away from the center, and the guards of the mausoleum were all out of power. Since Jiangning moved the capital, the memorial court has always been an empty shell, and there is no three yamen meeting in any county. After I was full, I went to Jiangning to send an ambassador.

There is no ancient person in the past, but there is no one in the future. The She family, who had just returned to the imperial court and became a prince, sent an ambassador to Jiangning. How could Lin Fu not be surprised: What exactly does the She family want to do?

As the team slowly passed by, the knights guarding the roadside vigilantly stared at Lin Fu and the others with swords, but the people in the carriage didn't care at all. Lin Fu listened to the voice of a woman in the second carriage: "Listen to Uncle Zhong. Said that the second brother met a beautiful woman when he came to Jiangning in secret, and he has been obsessed with it since then. He didn't know what the second brother did, but he was punished by his father. Second brother to find that woman again?"

The voice was really clear and pleasant, but Lin Bing frowned slightly.

"Men are always insatiable. You'll know when you marry someone. I don't have the heart to worry about this. He will marry as many rooms as he likes. Anyway, don't come and compete with me for the position of the boss..." Another sounded soft. A lazy, but sharp female voice came out.

At this time, it was the people in the car who wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, opened the curtain of the car and looked out, revealing two faces that were like flowers and jade, they wanted to see the scenery outside the car, but they collided with Lin Bing's eyes. one place.
