"Working as a coolie?" Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh. After listening to what Shang Ba said, since this rake's ear can transform guns, he has some skills. Unexpectedly, he was reduced to the point of doing coolies for people in the Ming Dynasty. This rake's ear came when he came.

I was so high-spirited that I didn’t expect to bow to life so quickly.

"Good!" Lin Dong couldn't help but praise.

"What's good?" Shang Ba asked doubtfully.

Lin Dong couldn't help but blush. For him, the worse the ear-raking experience, the more beneficial it is to him, and the smaller the price he needs to pay. Hearing that he has now been reduced to doing hard work, he is naturally happy.

Then I thought about it and it seemed that I was acting a little unkind, so I said:

"It's okay, you've worked hard, go back and rest first." Lin Dong waved his hand and said.

A trace of doubt flashed in Shang Ba's eyes. It seemed that Lin Dong was not anxious about food, but was very interested in the foreign monk who raked his ears. Could it be that this foreign monk really had some extraordinary ability?

Watching Shang Ba leave, Lin Dong once again began to close his eyes and rest.

After stopping and stopping all the way, we finally arrived at Fengyang on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. Although the war continued in the North at this time, Fengyang was not affected by the war at all. At this time, Fengyang city was decorated with lights and colors everywhere, and it was full of joy.

scene.

Residents in the city shuttle back and forth to buy New Year's goods and are busy preparing for the upcoming New Year.

Looking at this scene of lights and colorful decorations, Lin Dong shook his head and sighed, it was "a business girl who didn't know the hatred of losing her country, but she still sang the flowers in the backyard across the river."

I just don’t know how many people will be separated from their families in the upcoming battle of Fengyang, how many people will lose their lives in this war, and how many people will be displaced and become refugees from then on. In these wars, the people have spent countless efforts.

The home they built bit by bit is about to be destroyed. Unfortunately, they don't know this and are still celebrating the upcoming New Year.

Thinking that this big city was about to be destroyed, Lin Dong even had the urge to fight the peasant army in Fengyang and die together.

But when he thought about historical records, he couldn't help but beat his heart. It was a war involving hundreds of thousands of people. If he were left here with more than a thousand people, he wouldn't even get a blister.

He could clearly remember the fact that during the Battle of Fengyang, the 3,000 soldiers led by Zhu Xiangguo, the left-behind commander of the Zhongdu Remaining Department, were completely wiped out by the peasant army when they resisted the peasant army.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel depressed. Even if he could foresee it, so what?

Do I really want to leave these more than a thousand people here without any effect?

Or should I tell them that the intruders are coming and tell them to run for their lives? Will they believe me?

Being an outsider and speaking softly to others, I'm afraid that I will only be regarded as a lunatic.

In this damn troubled world, if I were stronger, I might be able to save the world from falling, save all the people from danger, and protect the homes of the common people.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong's eyes became moist. In order to prevent tears from falling, he raised his head as high as possible and only let tears roll in his eyes.

He hates the evil tyrants who have arisen in this troubled world; hates the incompetent court for making the people homeless; hates the traitors who commit all kinds of evil; hates Hou Jin for burning, killing and looting for wealth; and hates that he is too weak now.

If I hadn't been too weak, even if I put all my strength into the battle of Fengyang, the result would not change at all. The only thing that would change might be that there would be more than a thousand innocent souls. After all, although the hundreds of thousands of invaders had fighting strength

It's not that great, but for the more than a thousand Zhen'an troops, I still have an advantage. The other party can eat these more than a thousand people without leaving any bones with just one charge.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong had to suppress the urge to fight with the peasant army in Fengyang.

At this time, Shang Ba also walked up, cupped his hands and said, "Shang will leave first if he has anything else to do."

Lin Dong nodded slightly, but when he thought of the war that was about to happen soon, he finally couldn't bear to watch Fatty Shang, who had been with him day and night for so long, die indifferently. He coughed and said: "The Northland is not peaceful. If Brother Shang can trust me, I will

, it’s better to leave this place of wrong as soon as possible.”

A flash of surprise flashed in Shang Ba's eyes, he didn't know what Lin Dong meant.

Although he is a businessman, he is also very concerned about the current situation. Not long ago, he read the Fengyang newspaper, which showed that the peasant army was still struggling in Henan, hundreds of miles away.

Moreover, Fengyang was the central capital of the Ming Dynasty and was heavily guarded. No matter how intense the war was in other places, the bandits would not dare to bring the flames of war here.

He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "General, what news did you hear?" In Shang Ba's opinion, Lin Dong was an officer after all, and he might know some inside information.

Lin Dong shook his head. He must not let others know about his foresight.

Shang Ba frowned slightly and said, "Then where should we go according to the general's wishes?"

Lin Dong pointed to the road and said: "Go all the way south, the farther the better."

Shang Ba paused slightly and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness. I will go to the south after I take care of the business matters." After saying that, he turned around, jumped into a small boat, and rowed towards the shore.

Seeing his relaxed expression, Lin Dong knew that Shang Ba did not take his words to heart, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but it is not that easy to ask people to leave the place where he grew up.

Lin Dong thought for a while and asked: "What is Shang Ba like?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion at Lin Dong's question. They were a bunch of rough guys and didn't usually interact with Shang Ba. For a moment, they really didn't know how to answer.

"I don't know about the other little ones, but this Shangba is really good at arithmetic. He has helped me handle a lot of difficult accounts in the accounting room." Su Yi came out and said.

"This is not surprising. This person has been in business since he was a child, and it is normal for him to be proficient in arithmetic." Lin Dong sighed and said.

"General, what should we do now?"

"Dock the big ship first, and let everyone rest on the spot." Lin Dong ordered.

"General, since we have arrived at the place, why not put the autumn grain into the warehouse as soon as possible, so that the small ones can go back and deliver the mission as soon as possible."

At this moment, the government servant named Li Yan stood up and suggested.

"There is no rush, I will make my own arrangements." Lin Dong waved his hand. This man was sneaky along the way. Lin Dong did not touch him. It does not mean that Lin Dong knew nothing about his behavior.

On the contrary, some of his subordinates have already monitored Li Yan's every move, and will immediately report the slightest sign of trouble. Lin Dong knows exactly who Li Yan is, but the time is not right now, otherwise this kind of confrontation will be reported immediately.

He is afraid that those who are disadvantageous to him will have been dealt with by him long ago.

"Well, the county magistrate has an order for the general to put the autumn grain into the warehouse immediately after arriving in Fengyang and then go back to resume his orders." Li Yan refused to give up.

"Of course I know this, but it's getting late now, and all the soldiers have been tired from traveling all the way. Let's rest for a night first." Lin Dong ignored Li Yan's words at all.

Now that I have come out, how can I accept another order from the county magistrate thousands of miles away?

He had staked everything on his coming to Fengyang this time. If his trip to Fengyang failed to go through, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and he might even be killed if he went back.

If it really comes to that point, other than joining the Chuang Army, I'm afraid I won't have any chance to make a comeback.

As a traditional Chinese, in the war-torn late Ming Dynasty, he had to make contributions to protect his home and relatives. He did not bother to do such things as rebels who harmed the local area.

Li Yan raised his head and looked at the sky. It was clearly just after noon, so why was it getting late? This kid is really telling lies.

It's a pity that the official level is overwhelming. I am a small government servant and can't command Lin Dong, the boss.

Seeing that Lin Dong did not adopt his opinion and ignored the county magistrate's order, Li Yan looked ugly.

Lin Dong wears the hat of a bookkeeper on his head. After all, the other party is also his boss. If he uses force, he will be charged with one of the following crimes, and he will probably be plotted by the other party.

Thinking of this, Li Yan smiled sinisterly and said: "Do you think you will be spared if you don't put the autumn grain into the warehouse? The county magistrate has already made a plan, and I will make you look good tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Li Yan was not in a hurry and followed the sergeants back to the cabin to rest.

Lin Dong did not rest. After Li Yan left, he asked someone to find a small boat. He left the big boat alone and rowed towards the shore.

Before leaving, Lin Dong told Li Da to keep an eye on Li Yan and the others, and report any trouble to them immediately.

After leaving the ship, Lin Dong walked directly towards the warehouse not far from the dock.

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, after the autumn grain arrived, it had to be put into the warehouse according to regulations, and then the official seal was stamped on the grain that had been collected before, indicating that the autumn grain had been put into the warehouse according to regulations.

Naturally, there is no big shot on duty at the warehouse. He is a transport envoy assigned by the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs to the Fengyang Government Office. At this time, this person's surname is Li Mingsen, and he is an official of the eighth rank. He is at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty government agencies. At this time, he is also

No one had sent autumn grain to the warehouse. I had nothing to do all day and was taking a nap behind the table.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up listlessly and saw Lin Dong walking from outside.

Although the official position of the transport envoy is small, because he is in charge of the storage of autumn grains and handles hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, he naturally has a lot of arrogance.

I was very unhappy when I saw that the person who came was covered in dust and rustic, and his clothes were ordinary and devoid of a trace of nobility. He looked like a stupid young man from out of town.

"Who are you and why do you come to my granary management office?"

"I am Lin Dong, the grain chief responsible for the autumn grain transportation in Andong County." Lin Dong sighed, not taking Li Sen's cold look to heart. The saying that it is difficult to get in and get things done is a true portrayal of the late Ming Dynasty.

Lin Dong was not surprised.

Li Sen slapped his hand on the table and shouted angrily: "I received a document from Nanjing two months ago, saying that this year's autumn grain from Andong County will be escorted to Fengyang. But you have to wait and wait. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month.

It has passed, but your autumn grain has not arrived. How did you become the grain chief? What errands did you do for the court?"

It is the rule of the office to give people a warning to those who are doing things. This can also deter them, knowing that the majesty of the imperial court is not.
