The moonlit night is clear, the night breeze is not cold, and people put on light spring clothes.
Back in the thatched cottage, Xiaoman sat bored in front of the desk, holding a pen and ink on the light yellow rice paper, while Liu Yueryi sat at the other end of the desk doing nvrou. The pair of beautiful women were under the lamp.
Delicate and charming, Liu Yue'er is plump and mature, with a slightly round face. Sitting there, her waist appears soft, and her bulging breasts hold up her light green spring shirt, forming a perfect and attractive curve; she has a small body.
She hasn't grown back yet, and is a little thinner, but her face is exquisite under the lamp, and her eyes are particularly charming. Seeing Lin Fu come back, she stood up, yawned, and whispered: "Why are you back?"
, I'm about to fall asleep..." The clear sound was soft and soft, as if it would melt people's ears. Xiaoman came over with enthusiasm and hugged Lin Fu's arm, dragging him into the room to watch her do it.
painting.
It's a picture of peonies that hasn't been colored yet, but Xiao Nizi's fine brushwork skills make it look very good. Xiaoman is familiar with Su Mei's opera tune in the feudal mansion, and he's also familiar with music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
He is really versatile. Lin Fu watched the painting under the lamp and said to Xiaoman: "The next day I will send someone to the city to buy some paintings and come back for you to color this painting..." Xiao Nizi was also eager to treat Lin Fu, and Lin Fu
While Bie was looking at the painting, her delicate body pressed against his passionately. Even though she was still young and her delicate body was not soft, she had the unique elasticity of a girl.
Liu Yue'er just pretended that she couldn't see it and just sat there with an embroidery needle embroidering the lotus leaf pattern on the edge of her skirt.
Xiao Man's bright red lips came to Lin Fu's ear and asked: "Brother Lin, when do you think Sister Su Mei will come over to see me?" She was thinking of not letting Liu Yue'er hear what she said, and her breath was like orchid and fluttered against Lin Fu's ear.
.
Liu Yue'er then put down the embroidered cloth in her hand and said, "There is only a thatched cottage here. How dare you invite people over?" Then she asked Lin Fu, "Are you ever thirsty? Let me make you a cup of tea?"
"Don't be busy right now. Jingzhong and the others are coming over to discuss things later, and they would like to trouble you to make tea together..." Lin Fu asked Liu Yue'er to rest first, and then said to Xiaoman, "When the bamboo hall is built, there will be some
Use this excuse to invite Su Mei over. If you are tired of living here, I will send you back to Baiyuan..."
"No," Xiaoman slightly pouted his pink lips, and the plump and curved lip line was very graceful. He shook his head and said, "It's too troublesome. I want to help you, and I shouldn't cause you trouble...
…How about you find something for me to do?”
"Miss Liu didn't ask you to help?" As soon as Lin Fu asked this question, Liu Yue'er stepped lightly on his feet under the table, thinking that the two women could not live in harmony yet, and the two women were in the same room at this time.
, probably in order to save an oil lamp, he quickly changed his words and said to Xiaoman, "You are good at writing fine characters. Some of my manuscripts are sloppy. Please help me copy them down and let Miss Liu keep them..."
At this moment, voices came from the front of the thatched cottage. Seeing that it was Cao Zi'ang and his friends, Lin Fu asked Xiaoman to help Liu Yue'er make tea and bring it to the front hall.
Lin Fu asked Lin Jingzhong, Cao Ziang, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others to sit down in the front hall and tell them some things that happened in the city today. The bulk of the atonement silver must be given to Gu Wuchen.
Lin Jingzhong also thought about it. After all, it was a good place to enjoy the shade under the big tree. The value of the armor and horses obtained here was far more than the four thousand taels. In addition, a few days ago, Cong Qu
The family managed to get 20,000 taels of silver through clever tricks, but they still couldn't use it up in a while.
Lin Fu then talked about what he saw at the head of the field when he returned, and told Lin Jingzhong: "Now we can only adopt this compromise method to give them some compensation. Anyway, we have been preparing for the road construction for a long time, and the construction will only start in these two days.
It also requires labor. Before the rainy season comes, the roadbed is raised and paved with gravel and carbon dioxide residue, drainage ditches are dug, and willows are planted. The vehicles and horses are used to run over them first, and they can barely cope with the use; after the rainy season is over in the fall, they can be used again.
The rammed earth will be paved with Sanhe soil that disturbs the carbon residue, and then it will be as neat as the official road... These tenants come to work, and tomorrow they will record their names for ten days of work and food money, and be careful not to allow others to sneak in and fish in troubled waters.
Already."
"Those who want to fish in troubled waters can't get in. Mr. Cao is very familiar with the two nearby villages. There are several treacherous people, and we have registered them here," Lin Jingzhong said with a smile, "But why are we always the ones who want to fish in troubled waters?"
Suffering?"
"If you want to accomplish anything, you must first learn to suffer losses," Lin Fu said with a smile, "You take advantage every time, who dares to help you do things?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of suffering this loss. I also come from a small family. How could I forget my roots? When these tenants come over, don't talk about the wages of three liters of rice, four liters of rice, five liters of rice. If you let me, I won't frown.
It was clearly stated in advance that the money for young crops was to be given to the villagers. How could the rent collection office take the money first? I think Zhao Qinmin should have turned a blind eye to this matter. It was most likely Mr. Chen's subordinate named Zhou.
The people in the middle of the curtain made trouble and took advantage of the Qu family... We suffered a loss, and the benefits cannot be passed on to these moths!" Lin Jingzhong said.
"Just think that we have taken so much money from the Qu family and just give them some money to look back and be content with it. Besides, the Qu family wants to get benefits from us, which shows that they really don't have the slightest suspicion of us." Lin
Fu said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Even if Chen Yuanliang does not know the virtues of his minister named Zhou, Lin Fu must try his best to "be kind to others" at this time. Most of the officials in the Dai Viet Dynasty are greedy and despicable.
They all hate evil, but nothing can be done. In addition to the immediate benefits, these two things have also alleviated other crises. Fan Ding and Fan Zhimei may have to endure their anger for a longer time.
"I understand the truth, and I feel better when I say it." Lin Jingzhong said.
Cao Ziang, Ge Cunxin, and Ge Cunxiong all laughed. They had experienced so many injustices that this incident was nothing.
Lin Fu told everyone about today's banquet in Dongyang Guild Hall. Lin Jingzhong asked: "Zhao Qinmin can't do so many things by himself, should he pick two people to help him?"
"Master Cao, what do you think?" Lin Fu asked Cao Ziang. Cao Ziang and Qin Chengzu were both resourceful people. He left Cao Ziang on the shore in the hope that Cao Ziang could share the pressure for him.
"I think it's better to be careful," Cao Zi'ang shook his head and said, "It's not that Gu Wuchen will be suspicious of Mr. Lin at this time. Gu Wuchen should be a person who understands the way of balance, so he will never entrust everything to
Mr. Lin, Jiangning City has been turbulent in the past two days, and the situation has suddenly changed, which is far beyond Gu Wuchen's expectations. He has no time to make arrangements. But when he calmed down, he saw that Zhao Qinmin was still accepting us.
While holding back, he probably had some thoughts in his mind. Mr. Lin originally wanted to give this piece to Zhao Qinmin, so just leave it all to him. On the other hand, Zhao Qinmin is not an ordinary person. In just two or three days,
I searched all over the mouth of the river, so that I had to deliberately move our people away from him, for fear that he would find out something.
"If we don't need our people, then we can pick two strong men from the refugees to serve as guards for Zhao Qinmin. We must always prevent him from being killed by the assassins sent by Wang Xueshan at the mouth of the river," Lin Fu said, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow
, I will go with you to the Longjiang shipyard. First, hand over the money to the shipyard. Mr. and Big Loach will take everyone to the shipyard for training. From now on, food and accommodation will be on the ship, and the dock is here.
, we have also controlled it well, so we are not afraid that any flaws will be left in the eyes of others."
Although Mr. and his subordinates are all fishermen and have rich experience in sailing, they have no experience in driving large sailing ships. The three masts of the Qianshi ship can carry a total of fifteen large and small sails. The main mast is ten feet high, and the fore and aft secondary masts are
One is eight feet high and the other is six feet high. The single oar on the stern needs to be operated by two people. It can carry a thousand stones or one hundred thousand kilograms of rice or other goods. Although only sixteen people can drive this large sailing ship that can carry a thousand stones, it is not an ordinary sailing ship.
It only takes sixteen people to get on the boat. Mr. and his men are good at sailing and sailing, which is better. When Lin Fu and the others sailed the three-masted sea-going ship, they were fortunate that the sea north of the Yangtze River was calm after the early winter.
This allowed them to waste some more time and get to Qingjiangpu safely. After listening to Lin Xu's experience, Mr. and Mrs. Loach all said it was thrilling. Fortunately, they lowered their sails to take shelter when the wind got a little stronger. Otherwise, even after the early winter,
Due to the strong wind and waves, with their ability, four or five of the ten ships would capsize in the sea. Qin Chengzu and the others invited several reliable boatmen to join the team from private salt dealers they knew well in Qingjiangpu, and they struggled for a long time on Changshan Island before they finally succeeded.
I'm pretty good at handling that three-masted sea-going ship.
Lin Fu gave Lin Jingzhong the sixty taels of gold he had received in Gu's house, and said, "This is a reward. If you don't put it in the treasury, you can take it to Quyang Town some other time and exchange it for six baht worth of unmarked gold and silver coins."
On the private seal of Jiyun Society, we compiled the font size and asked the subordinates to select twenty people who work hard on weekdays, are willing to use their brains, and are willing to practice hard. They will give each person one silver coin at first. The extra gold and silver coins will be saved for later.
If someone has made meritorious deeds, big merits will be money, and minor merits will be money. Six baht of gold and silver is not worth much, but it can inspire his heart."
Twenty-four baht equals one tael, one tael of silver is worth one thousand two hundred copper coins, and a six-baht heavy silver coin is worth three hundred copper coins; one tael of gold is worth eight taels of silver, which is worth nine thousand six hundred copper coins, and a six-baht heavy silver coin is worth three hundred copper coins.
It's worth two thousand four hundred copper coins.
Next, we discussed the selection of military guards. This matter has matured. Ten of the thirty men brought by the Ge brothers will be selected into the military guards. This will make it easier to integrate most of the Ge brothers' men into one ship.
, to ensure that matters going to and from Changshan Island will not be leaked to outsiders; in addition, thirty armed guards must be sent out from the recruitment of labor and refugees.
After the massacre of refugees, Lin Fu quickly organized the brave refugees among the refugees into training with bamboo spears in the form of village warriors. Although the additional daily training time was not long, it was enough for the selection of military guards. Besides, Cao Ziang was hanging around.
In these days of sharing the joys and sorrows among the labor-recruiting refugees, he had already seen clearly with his sharp eyes what kind of characters there were among the labor-recruiting refugees.
On the eve of the eve, Chen Zhi led five hundred Dongcheng captains to arrest people. The brave and brave refugees stood unswervingly behind Lin Fu, which also proved that these refugees who recruited workers were trustworthy. In fact, Cao Ziang even suspected Lin Fu.
If the time comes to drag all these people directly to Changshan Island to become pirates, probably few people will hesitate - the most important thing now is how to train these people into elites.
After all, the number of military guards is limited. The military guards can be trained by Zhou Pu together with the guard soldiers. Lin Fu usually has time to teach in person, but Lin Fu and the others will not just wait for the bandits to attack and only use the military guards to defend the enemy.
, or equip the military guards with weapons on merchant ships, and organize the brave people among the refugees more effectively to serve as the backup and supplementary strength of the military guards, which is another headache.
