Lord of the House: Chapter 36 Yueyong River

The moon swelled and the river flowed, and the Jinhai took advantage of the moonlight to sail towards Guanyin Beach.

Even with all kinds of lovesickness, in front of everyone, Liu Yue'er restrained her heart swelled like this river. According to the rules, she is a concubine, so she shouldn't show her face with Lin Fu, but Lin Fu wants her to go to Xisha Island with her, how can she refuse?

Prison Island is likely to be cancelled, Yue Lengqiu will use his power to set up various obstacles to the development of the estuary, and Chongzhou needs more manpower. In addition to the people from Xihehui and the Sun family, people like Wu Yanqing, Wu Jiye's father and son, and Zhao Zuigui'er also came to Chongzhou. Ge Fu, an old worker, also came to Jiangning with the unfinished "Jiangzuojing Zhu".

Xihehui and the family members of the Sun family, together with the Jiangdong Zuojun generals and some family members of Jiyun Wuwei, moved nearly 9,000 people to Chongzhou at one time, which was not easy.

In Jiangning, Ge Cunxin, Lin Jingzhong, Zhao Hu, Ge Cunxin and others organized more than 300 ships. In addition to the more than 200 elite cavalry that Sun Wenbing brought back to Jiangning in the early stage, nearly 600 people from Jiyun Wuwei, Yudao Wuzu and Lin Jiajia Yong were used together, led by Zhao Hu as guards. Lin Jingzhong also accompanied him to Chongzhou, and it was not until Ge Cunxin led the military soldiers upstream to meet them that they were relieved and the journey went smoothly.

A large amount of money has been invested, and the Guanyintan Pier has been initially built. There are two horizontal embankments and an inclined embankment on the outside. A dock about 200 steps wide and 300 steps deep is formed on the front of Guanyin Beach.

The docking port has a limited capacity, which is simply not enough for more than 300 ships to berth at the same time. However, for more than half a year, Fu Qinghe organized manpower to dred and excavate a natural shallow river to form a main canal that traverses the central part of Xisha Island for the needs of irrigation, drainage and transportation of materials to the island. The canal was dug, and the boats from Guanyintan to Nantan were shortened to 18 miles, and the waterway distance to Haiyu County, Pingjiang Prefecture, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, was also shortened to less than 40 miles.

The north entrance of the canal is on the inner side of Guanyintan dock. Usually, the river is closed by an iron cable pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge is connected with two solid and fortified buildings standing on the river bank.

At this time, the iron cable pontoon bridge was opened, and more than 300 boats entered the island from the estuary to dock on the shore. More than 300 boats were connected fore and stern, about six or seven miles long, and Xisha Island was also fully settled. To prepare, Fu Qinghe, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang and others were all on the island. At this time, the torches placed along the river embankment were also lit to guide the boat to the island. Lin Fu and the others waited on the Jinhai for two hours, and then they stopped at Guanyin Beach.

The draught of the Jinhai was too deep to enter the canal, so it had to be moored at the docking port.

Lin Fu and the others went ashore, and also walked to the embankment of the canal to see the situation of the organization's landing and resettlement. The moonlight is getting brighter and brighter when it reaches the middle of the sky. It shines on the canal, swaying with sparkling waves, and countless torches are reflected in the river water, like red stars. Standing beside Lin Bie, Liu Yueer only feels excited and excited. .

Xiaoman still has the heart of a child. He looked at the straight and wide river leading directly to the island, and the moonlight and fire were shining brightly. It was very beautiful, so he asked, "What is this river called? This is the first river we saw in Chongzhou. Heli, remember it well."

"It used to be a shallow river, but it didn't run through the whole island. The name was very vulgar. It's only been a month since it was dug, and I haven't thought of a new name yet..." Lin Bie said.

"Why don't we call it Yue'er River?" Xiaoman said, "This way, the name of Sister Yue'er will be printed."

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Liu Yue'er tugged at Xiaoman's shirt, not allowing her to talk nonsense.

"Why don't we call it Xiaomanhe?" Lin Fu laughed, "Nankouzi doesn't have an official name yet, so it's called Yue'ertan!"

"How can you be so messed up with a place name?" Liu Yue'er blushed and complained in a low voice that Lin Fu made her joke with Xiao Man.

"Why not?" Fu Qinghe laughed aside, "Then it's settled!"

Xisha Island is a new land, and the places on the island do not have names, or they have very vulgar names, which is very inconvenient. When making a map, many places are just code names, which are not conducive to memory.

Even the name of Xisha Island is quite tacky, just because there is a slightly smaller Jiangzhou in the east Jiangdao called "Dongsha", the name here is "Xisha", Fu Qinghe and others have long had the idea of ​​changing the name. , but these are subtle things, don't rush to bring them up.

In front of Fu Qinghe, Liu Yueer was rather cautious, blushing, and wanted to say "no", but she didn't know how to refuse. Seeing that Lin Fu was also in high interest, she didn't want to spoil their interest. Xiaoman is naturally very excited when he thinks that there is a river named after him.

Seeing her like this, Lin Fu said to Fu Qinghe jokingly, "The river at the west end of the island is dug through the next day, and it will be called the Daman River. The big and the small also match each other..."

"No, the name Damanhe is terrible." Xiaoman immediately protested.

Xisha Island sent enough people to arrange Jiangning's arrival, and Lin Jingzhong, Sun Wenbing, Zhao Hu, Ge Cunxin and others could take a break for the time being and come to visit Lin Fu.

Zhao Hu's family will continue to stay in Jiangning, and Lin Jingzhong will also stay in Jiangning, but Lin Jingzhong's parents and younger sister also moved to Chongzhou this time, and they came to meet together.

"Did the marriage between Jingzhong and Wen Pei take place here?" Lin Fu supported Jingzhong's parents and prevented them from salute, and was concerned about the marriage between Lin Jingzhong and Sun Jingtang's daughter Sun Wenpei, "So, whether it is It would be more convenient to let Wen Pei stay in Chongzhou to take care of the two elders, or let Wen Pei go to Jiangning to take care of Jingzhong!"

"Everything is up to your lord!" Jingzhong's father flattered honestly, and Sun Jingtang decided the matter.

Although there was still more than half a month before the agreed wedding date, it was impossible for Lin Jingzhong to make a special trip to Chongzhou after half a month. Everything must be subject to authority, and personal marriages must be subject to the overall situation.

"Then wait for two days and wait for Zhou Pu and the others to return to Chongzhou. This is the big happy event of the Lin family, and it is also the Daxihe of the Sun family of the Xihehui. We can't let more than a thousand children of the Xihehui fail to eat wedding wine on the road!" Lin Fu laughed. , saw Sun Jingtang's concubine, Mrs. Zhao standing in the back, and bowed to her, "Concubine Zhao is the hardest this time, Lin Fu salutes you!"

"I don't dare to be, my lord, this is the body of a concubine." Concubine Zhao hurriedly bowed her body in return.

When the Cao Cao started, almost all the youths of the Xihe Society were dispatched with the Cao. When the Changyi mutiny, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenyao and other leaders of the Xihe Society were all imprisoned. The person responsible for the meeting is actually Sun Jingtang, the concubine of the concubine, Concubine Zhao.

Although Aunt Zhao was married to Sun Jingtang as a concubine and had no children, her status in the Xihe Club was even higher than that of Sun Jingtang's wife, who was not close to the door and did not go out. As the member of the Yuncaohe Gang, the Xihe Club is destined to need a capable and prestige woman to head the family at the rear.

Sun Wenbing also rushed back to Jiangning after suppressing the Qingzhou army mutiny. That was also after the beginning of April. Before that, there were more than 6,000 family members of Xihe Club who stayed in Jiangning. In fact, before Sun Wenbing rushed back to Jiangning , all transferred to the estuary for temporary resettlement. In addition to Tian Zhai, other belongings that can be carried with you are also transferred. Hundreds of private ships under the name of the Sun family were also transferred to the name of Jiyun Club before Yue Lengqiu sent people to seal them up. These can be said to be Concubine Zhao. accounted for the greatest contribution.

Lin Fu also sighed in his heart that there may not be many literate people in the Xihe Society, but the experience, vision, and knowledge that many of them have actually experienced are not comparable to ordinary closed villagers.

Whether it is Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenyao, Sun Wenbing, or Sun Wenwan, or Concubine Zhao, and many leaders of the Xihe Society, they are all very capable people.

Of course, there are pros and cons. The Xihe Guild is more or less tainted with the spirit of the rivers and lakes, and it is more slick and secular than the simple villagers. Lin Fu tends to recruit only the most humble congregation at the bottom to join the Jiangdong Left Army, except those who are really capable, while the relatively smooth and secular leaders are temporarily incorporated into the Jiyun Society merchant fleet. If they can be gradually transformed, they can be used in local areas. The grassroots are not too late.

Lin Fu saw Ge Fu and Zhao Zuigui'er, as well as Wu Yanqing and Wu Jiye coming here with the craftsmen and medical apprentices, went down the river bank, picked them up, and said, "The old worker and Mr. Wu can come here, What a surprise!"

"If the prison island is to be withdrawn, the medicine garden will not be preserved," Wu Yanqing said with a smile, "I am here, but I am looking for you to turn a bigger field into a medicine garden!"

The news of Xiao Xuanchou’s request to reopen the prison city at Jiangkou in Chongzhou has spread in Jiangning, and even the eldest Sun Geng also wrote a letter to inquire about where to stay, and he also clearly hoped to be transferred to Chongzhou after the cancellation of the prison island.

Ge Fu, an old worker, said, "I'm used to living next to Yanqing," and asked in a low voice, "Chongzhou builds a new city, is there any place to use my old bones?"

Ge Fu is a master of craftsmanship. He doesn't know a word, and he knows everything about lacquer, pottery, and painting kilns. Chongzhou City was destroyed, and a new city must be built. No wonder he abandoned his family and came to Chongzhou, just hoping to seize the opportunity to preside over the construction of Chongzhou New City.

"Then the old worker and Mr. Wu will live with me to the north bank!" Lin Fu said.

This was the second day that Jiangdong Zuo Army landed in Chongzhou. In order to delay some time, Lin Fu's report to the county chief was not sent until this afternoon. The enemy's submission to avoid the war was delayed until nightfall. However, Yue Lengqiu should have known what happened in Chongzhou yesterday, but the opinions of the county governor on the handling of various affairs in Chongzhou will not be reported to Chongzhou until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

Lin Fu wanted to fight for two or three days to settle the overall situation of Chongzhou County.

Ge Fu and Wu Yanqing were both old, so Lin Fuxian arranged for them to rest in the surrounding building. In addition to the surrounding buildings in Guanyin Beach, there are also fifty or sixty large-scale enclosed houses radiating to the island mainly along the canals and tributaries. This is also eager to free up twelve large-scale enclosed houses to temporarily accommodate people from Jiangning.

Assuming that each enclosed house can accommodate 80 to 100 households, it is actually necessary to build 20 to 30 enclosed houses on the island. Of course, considering the actual defense needs, the surrounding houses are mainly gathered along Guanyin Beach.

This time, 9,000 people have moved from Jiangning, and together with the Xihe congregation that will soon converge, there will be more than 34,000 people living in Dingkou in Guanyintan.

He called Lin Mengde, Cao Zi'ang, Hu Zhiyong, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenbing, Lin Jingzhong, Zhao Hu, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others to his side, and said, "Defense matters will be discussed specifically in the next few days, and I will leave it alone for the time being. As a civil servant, I would like to apologise to Sun Huishou. For the time being, Zhiyong is still the main one. After all, Zhiyong is still familiar with the situation on the island, so we need to settle the resettlement first, and don’t let the planting of mulberry and cotton slacken…”

Lin Fu spoke out about the arrangement he had considered for the Sun family these days: "...Jingzhong wants to go back to Jiangning, and Zhao Hu also goes back first, and he has to wait for a conclusion on the prison island before taking action, from Jiangning to Chongzhou. I want Wen Bing to take charge of the Yangtze River shipping and the supervision of the shipbuilding at the Longjiang Shipyard, and Cunxiong to come to Chongzhou, where a water camp is to be formally established, and you cannot be lacking as a general."

"...I entrusted Miss Sun to build a women's camp in Zilang Mountain, and I would like to ask Aunt Zhao to help her." Lin Fu said, he didn't want the ladylike Aunt Zhao to stay in the house honestly when she arrived in Chongzhou. After all, Sun Wenwan was young, so Lin Fu couldn't put all the burden of the women's camp on her shoulders. Fourth Niangzi wants to stay in Jiangning for the time being. Aunt Zhao is a more suitable candidate than Sun Wenwan, but due to the relationship of identity, Sun Wenwan is still the main one, and Aunt Zhao can assist her.

The Zhao family was a little hesitant. She appeared at the Xihe Society to preside over affairs, which was a special need of the Xihe Society, but now the Xihe Society was going to be dissolved and merged into the Jiangdong Zuo Army, so she was just Sun Jingtang's concubine. In the eyes of the world, she should keep her duty and stay in the house.

Sun Jingxuan said, "I also want to ask Concubine Zhao to help Wan Niang."

"Thank you for your trust and trust," Concubine Zhao agreed.

"Wait until Wen Yao recovers from his injuries and see if he can adapt to the sea route before dealing with it!" Lin Fu said, the sea route is far more complicated than the inland river, and the compound schooner is much more complicated than the ordinary inland sailboat. Ge Cunxin, It also took Ge Cunxiong a long time to get used to commanding a fast sailboat like the Dongyang. Whether Sun Wenyao and the other Xihe congregation would be able to adapt well to sailing at sea was hard to say at this time. The Longjiang Shipyard is under the Jiangning Ministry of Industry and is not under the control of Yue Lengqiu.

After the victory in Yangxin, Lin Su transported thousands of foreign horses to Chongzhou, Weiyang, Jiangning and other wealthy places for sale. In exchange for money, he ordered a large number of ships from Longjiang Shipyard. The Thousand Stone Sea Ship, the Four Thousand Stone Sea Ship. The total capacity of the ships under construction adds up to about 20,000 stone. But to maintain such a water camp, Lin Fu must also build a dock on Xisha Island that can build small and medium ships and repair large sea ships.

"...Zi'ang and Uncle Mengde both need help, and I have to feel wronged Mr. Jingtang. Stay with me first." Lin Fu said again, and temporarily arrange the ministry of the Sun family... My QT room is open ! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
