Chapter 1473 News
The afternoon sun moved west a little, and the shadows of the sycamore trees in the yard seemed larger. The two koi in the pond swam to the water to find food, and the flower hall seemed to be cooler.
Lin Hai knew that there was no need to talk about some secrets here, so he sent the two maids away. He noticed that Lin Yanran had less tea in his cup, so he went forward to add tea carefully.
Lin Qingran took a sip of hot tea, looked up at Li Mu and said, "Commander Li, you are in a difficult situation when you arrive in Tianjin this time!" After a pause, he smiled and said, "I have some connections with the Ministry of War in Beijing,
I will recommend you to write a book and I can take care of you!"
Compared with Shihuashan's situation, Li Mu's situation is undoubtedly much better. Tianjin is not far from the capital, and Tianjin is not a border fortress of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to worry too much about others taking action.
In fact, things don’t have to be too troublesome. As long as Ning Jiang, who is in the Ministry of War, can handle almost anything. If it really doesn’t work, Ning Jiang may also look for other assistance.
"Thank you, sir!" Li Mu's eyes lit up slightly, and he bowed gratitude.
Although he was already a senior military general, he knew the current situation of the court. Not to mention that he was just a small commander of the guards, even if he was the general, there would be someone in the court.
Not to mention the distance, the former general of Zhejiang Zhizhi, Lu Tong, was a great military achievement and was considered a great contributor to pacify Zhejiang Zhizhi Japanese pirates. As a result, he was dismissed from his post and returned home only because of the collapse of Hu Zongxian, the backer behind him.
His ability to take this step and serve as the more important commander of the Tianjin Left Guard actually has nothing to do with his military achievements in suppressing Japanese Japanese in the past. It is mainly due to Lin Weiran's actions behind his back.
Nowadays, he is naturally happy to hold Lin Qinran's thighs. Even if his situation in Tianjin is more difficult now, he will inevitably shine as Lin Qinran takes power in the future.
Especially with Lin Junran's care, even if he is just a "outsider", he is confident that he can gain a foothold in Tianjin City and allow those masters and soldiers to see Li Mu's power.
Shi Huashan, the decisive general, seemed very restrained in real life. But he didn't know whether it was because of his personality or because he didn't speak much when facing Lin Junran, a powerful figure.
In comparison, Li Mu was like a woman, but his words were endless. When he learned that Lin Qingran would care about the situation in Guangdong, he was talking to Lin Qingran in every detail.
It was inevitable that Hu Niu would talk about it. Li Mu seemed honestly: "When General Shi Gan and I went north, the eldest lady came to Luzon. I heard that Luzon Island had suffered several months of wildfires, which caused many Luzon people to
He starved to death, and the eldest lady transferred some food from Guangdong for this reason!”
It was April when they headed north, and Guangdong was not close to Luzon, so the news would inevitably be a little lagging.
When Lin Xuran heard this, he took a sip of tea and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It is not surprising that Hu Niu does such a thing. Her sister is a typical heartfelt heart and will definitely lend a helping hand to the displaced natives in Luzon.
After talking for a while, the two of them stood up and said goodbye with tactful thought.
Lin Weiran seemed to suddenly remember something, and smiled at the two of them and said, "If you are not in a hurry, you will stay in Yangzhou for another three days!" After a pause, he explained the reason: "I will go by again."
In two days, I will marry Mrs. Ru, and I want to invite the two generals to have a wedding wine before heading north."
"Congratulations to the Lord for adding a new house. Bei Zhi will definitely come to participate as scheduled!" Shi Huashan and Li Mu exchanged glances and immediately bowed happily.
If other big men kept them because of taking concubines, they would probably take the opportunity to ask them for bribes. But after getting along in Guangdong and understanding of the joint business group, I knew that this big man was giving them a favor.
The two of them regarded them as their own people, so they invited them here.
The two had just left, but Meng Shao returned from Taixing, and behind him were his disciples Wang Shiju and Li Yanchen who had not seen for a long time.
"Students have met the teacher!"
Meng Shao and the other two came to Lin Junran and looked respectfully polite.
Although Lin Xuran felt strange, he raised his hand quietly and said, "Sit down!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Meng Shao and the other two bowed their hands and sat down in their seats one by one.
Meng Shao was the first to worship Lin Qingran, and he was also a juren, so he sat on the first sermon. Wang Shiju had the advantage of age, so he was above Li Yanchen.
These days, the three of them have been doing things for Lin Yanran. Although their skin has been tanned a lot, their eyes have a lighter light, and they have less of the pedantic spirit of scholars.
Fame and fortune can undoubtedly bring wealth and glory to people, making them officials of the Ming Dynasty. Just wanting to become an excellent official is obviously far from enough to study alone, and it also requires a certain degree of training. This time,
All three of them benefited a lot.
Lin Hai added tea to the three of them. Although he was curious about why the three of them returned together, he knew that these things were not what he should ask about. Here, he could only be a deaf person, and even a mute person when he went outside.
"Why are you three back together?" Lin Qingran took a sip of tea slowly before asking.
Wang Shiju and Li Yanchen seemed ready to move, but they still chose to turn their eyes to their senior brother Mengshao. Mengshao smiled and bowed, "Report to the teacher, the three of us met in Taixing, so we came back together!"
"Jinqing, you have been writing books a few days ago. Haven't you been staying in Songjiang Mansion all the time? Why did you suddenly run to Taixing?" Lin Qiran's brows frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Wang Shiju and asked in confusion.
When passing Songjiang Prefecture, he asked Wang Shiju and Li Yanchen to get off the ship together to investigate the current situation of the salt farm stove owners. During these days, Wang Shiju and Li Yanchen successively compiled letters several times and returned.
Wang Shi raised his face and responded honestly: "When you say to the teacher, we can't stay there anymore! If we hadn't been more informed and had left Songjiang City earlier, we might have been imprisoned by the Songjiang Prefect.
It's inside!"
"Why?" Lin Weiran was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Wang Shiju faced Lin Qingran's eyes and asked seriously: "As the teacher's instructions, we took the salt rush to Songjiang Salt Farm to induce the salt rush to investigate the actual situation of the salt rush shop for the teacher. When we were in contact with the stove shop
During the process, we found that the salt sold on a large scale in Songjiang Prefecture was not Huai salt, but private salt from other places."
