Chapter 57 Bamboo Hall Family Affairs and State Affairs

Lin Tingli's reply came back to Jiangning on the third day.
Lin Fu took the letter from Lin Xulu and invited him to sit down in front of the west window. Lin Tingli wrote a letter and sent it back to Lin Xulu.
I took it apart and looked at it.
Although Lin Tingli relied on his kindness to become an official, his fine regular script showed his skill. Lin Tingli also advocated immediately choosing a place to bury the remains of his brother Lin Tingxun to eliminate the hidden dangers of Ding You. He also expected that Lin Xuwen would not object, so he asked Jiangning in the letter to do it first.
Get ready, wait for Lin Xuwen to send a reply from Jinhai, and immediately move the coffin to Chongzhou for burial.
Lin Fu read it through, packed the letter, handed it to Lin Xulu, and said: "Since the second uncle wants us to prepare here first, please third brother, please show the letter to several aunts and clan elders. Over at Chongzhou
, in addition to settling several aunts and Mr. Ma’s residence, it is very important to choose a Feng Shui land. I immediately sent a message back to Chongzhou and asked them to prepare immediately..."
"I'm causing trouble for you, Lao Qi." Lin Xulu said.
"What kind of trouble can it cause?" Lin Fu asked with a smile, "Is there any trouble between my family members?"
Lin Xulu smiled, then took the letter and went to find some aunts to start the preparations for moving the coffin.
After Lin Xulu left, Lin Fu opened the west window and looked at the setting sun on the eaves, covering the blue-black roof with a golden sheen. He had a brief opportunity to talk to Yingxiu alone yesterday before he learned about the relocation of his clan.
It was completely an impromptu thought of Mrs. Shan, the Sixth Lady.
When she was sixteen, the person she married was ruined by Lin Tingxun, and she was forced to marry Lin Tingxun as a concubine. When she was seventeen, she gave birth to an only son, who almost died in childbirth. Later, she lived in such a cold and cruel environment.
As a living widow who has been here for nearly ten years, one cannot blame Shan for being indifferent to the deceased Lin Tingxun.
As for Gu Yingxiu's ridiculous idea, of course Lin Fu ignored it. He had feelings for Yingxiu and was grateful for everything she had done for him over the years, so he wanted to take her under his wing. Who was Shan?
Lin Fu retracted his thoughts, straightened his clothes, took off the saber on the wall and tied it around his waist, walked to the outer hall, followed Ao Canghai who was guarding there and said with a smile: "Come on, let's go to the Zhutang to find Shu Han, Si.
Are you going to have a drink at Xiaofanlou?"
Regardless of whether the weather was hot or not, Ao Canghai carefully put on his scale armor, picked up the bag on the table and put it on his head, followed Lin Fu out of the thatched cottage with a few guards.
After returning to Chongzhou, Ao Canghai was worried that his desire for revenge in the war against the East China Sea invaders would interfere with his rationality, so he was unwilling to lead the army directly and gave up the position of infantry and battalion command to Zhou Tong. He was willing to stay with Lin Fu and lead his personal guards.
camp.
Lin Fu couldn't force anything from Ao Canghai.
In fact, in addition to being the most brave and brave, Ao Canghai is also good at consulting. This is related to Ao Canghai's life experience. Before the She family massacred Jiao City, he led the Ao family caravan to travel in Fujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang for a long time. He was a proficient
He was a servant. Later, in order to avenge the barbarians, he was too murderous and only showed off his martial arts, which obscured his other talents. Ordinary people were confused by his rough appearance. Zhao Shuhan first saw his gesture.
The cursive calligraphy and ink written on a high cliff are like a gushing spring, which also shocked me and made me sigh.
On the side of the bamboo hall, Zhao Shuhan had just stopped and was putting the documents compiled today on the shelves in categories with the four book boys. Ge Si Yuji was sitting on the cool bamboo mat, watching Lin Fu come over, happy
He stood up and said: "Haha, there is nothing else to keep us from drinking happily today..."
"You have the nerve to say this with your little drinking capacity?" Zhao Shuhan laughed at Ge Si Yudao from the side, bowed slightly to Lin Fu, and said, "I wish you could wait for us."
"What's the problem?" Lin Fu asked with a smile, "If you don't rest here, I will talk to Brother Si Yu about the shipyard. If you rest here, we will go directly to the Xiaofan Tower to drink and chat. Everyone on the left and right Don’t delay things…”
"Speaking of the shipyard, I have something to discuss with you," Ge Siyu said. "After the delivery of this batch of sea-going ships, if the Jiangdong Left Army wants to build new ships through the Longjiang shipyard, it must go through the Ministry of War to formally .In addition, Longjiang Shipyard will no longer build ships for private customers in the short term... You should know this news before me, right?"
"Well, I understand," Lin Fu nodded and waved the four bookboys to retreat first, before further telling Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu the confidential information obtained from Gao Zongting, "The matter of moving the capital is just a secret discussion. , will never be implemented easily, but many preparations will be done first... Jiangning is based on the river, and to defend the river, you must defend the Huaihe River. The most important thing to defend the Jianghuai River is not the cavalry or infantry, but the boat division. Yue Lengqiu In a letter to the Central Committee, in addition to strengthening the two naval divisions of Jiangning Shuiying and Ninghai Zhenshuiying, Yue Lengqiu also planned to build a new naval division in Huaikou. In addition to excluding the Jiangdong Left Army, Yue Lengqiu's plan still had some insights. In addition to rejecting the decision to build a new naval division in Huaikou, Yue Lengqiu's suggestion to strengthen Jiangning Water Camp and Ninghai Town Water Camp was fully adopted by the imperial court. Longjiang Shipyard will build a batch of warships for these two companies in the near future. , to replace the previous old one. This news has not been officially announced, so for the time being, Longjiang Shipyard is only prohibited from building ships for private customers."
"So that's how it is." Ge Siyu was appointed as the deputy supervisor of Longjiang Shipyard and a ninth-grade junior official. No one told him, so naturally he didn't know the secret behind it.
"The matter of moving the capital is said to be a secret discussion, but it is spreading a lot in Jiangning," Zhao Shuhan sighed slightly and said, "When people in Jiangning City talk about this matter, they are mostly excited and looking forward to it, but they don't know that moving the capital is actually a sign of subjugation. beginning!"
Zhao Shuhan was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so how could he not clearly see the serious disadvantages of moving the capital?
If the Yanbei Defense Line can be maintained, there is no need to move the capital; if the Yanbei Defense Line cannot be maintained, once the capital is moved, it is likely to mean the collapse of the entire northern defense line.
Lin Fu shook his head and comforted Zhao Shuhan, who was worried about state affairs, and said: "With Commander-in-Chief Li in Yanbei maintaining it, the situation will not be so pessimistic. Even if we don't think about moving the capital, the reconstruction and consolidation of the Jianghuai Defense Zone will be It is extremely urgent and the key is to see whether Yue Lengqiu has this talent."
Lin Fu could see what Yue Lengqiu was thinking. At this time, he wanted to strengthen the combat power of Jiangning Water Camp and Ninghai Town Water Camp. The next step might be to transfer Jiangning Water Camp and Ninghai Town Water Camp from Jiangning Garrison and Ninghai Town Water Camp. It was separated from the order to form an independent naval force with a full town staff.
Lin Fu has been hesitating: Should he help Yue Lengqiu in this matter? He also knew very well that Yue Lengqiu strengthened the Jiangning Water Camp, and the Ninghai Zhenshui Camp also had the intention of targeting the Jiangdong Left Army.
As long as Jiangning Shuiying and Ninghai Zhenshuiying finally form a large-scale elite naval division, the Jiangdong Left Army's coastal defense position in Chongzhou will be greatly suppressed.
"I don't know about other things, but Yue Lengqiu's ability to suppress dissidents is number one," Ge Siyu complained. "When the ships in my hand are finished, I will follow the example of General Zhao and resign. I will go to Chongzhou with you.
, as long as there is something to do, it really doesn’t matter whether you are an official or not.”
"Haha, if you really want to come to Chongzhou, it will be convenient," Lin Fu said with a smile. "To build a new city in Chongzhou, you can ask the Jiangning Ministry of Industry for a supervisor. Just come here..."
"Won't the old man blame me for taking his job?" Ge Siyu asked.
The planning and construction supervision of Chongzhou New City is actually being done by Ge Siyu's old father, the old industrial officer Ge Fu. It is the rainy season now, and the new city is located at the northern foot of Zilang Mountain with soft soil. It is currently burning
Brickwork cannot be carried out on a large scale, and much work will have to wait until later in the fall.
"Then you have to discuss it with the old worker yourself." Lin Fu said with a smile.
Ge Siyu was influenced by his father, and he was still a relatively pure craftsman, and did not care much about state affairs. In contrast, although Zhao Shuhan resigned from the official position in frustration and concentrated on compiling the "Craftsman's Code", deep down in his heart he still wanted to serve the country.
People can do more.
Lin Fu could accept Ge Siyu coming to Chongzhou, and also hoped that Ge Siyu could come to Chongzhou. He was used in many places, so he asked him to help Sun Jingxuan manage the small dock that had just started. There was no problem. Although Zhao Shuhan also said
He had wanted to go to Chongzhou, but after he went to Chongzhou, Lin Fu could not arrange for him. With Zhao Shuhan's talent, he was more than enough to serve as the magistrate of Chongzhou, but Lin Fu did not have the ability to lift him to this position at this time; but he could not accept the post of magistrate.
On the other hand, although Zhao Shuhan was very dissatisfied with the current officialdom, the idea of loyalty to the emperor was deeply rooted in his heart, and he had the extravagant dream of having a good relationship between the emperor and his ministers and governing the world together.
Lin Fu would support Zhao Shuhan becoming an official, but would not rush to draw him into the formation of the Jiangdong Left Army.
"Instead of wasting time here and thinking, why not go to Xiaofan Tower to drink wine first and chat while drinking," Ge Siyu said, "Miss Su Mei came to the river mouth to stay for a few days just because of your face.
God, we can't let Miss Su Mei wait in Xiaofan Tower, can we?"
"...That's right, let's go to the Xiaofan Tower to drink first." Lin Fu said with a smile, and walked to the Xiaofan Tower in the center of Hekou Town with Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu. I wonder if Zhang Yubo and Liu Xilin will
Will they sniff their noses and rush over to join in the fun?
The feudal family successively took over three surrounding courtyards and added them, making the Hekou Xiaofan Building a triple-six-passage building complex. Together with the bamboo hall, it became one of the landmark buildings in the river mouth. Since the feudal family also ran a brewery,
Taking advantage of the convenience of the river mouth, a large amount of wine was shipped and shipped to other places for sale. The Yongchang Marquis Mansion and the vassal family made probably the most money from the river mouth except the Dongyang Township Party. This shows that they are still very good at business.
Lin Fu, Zhao Shuhan, and Ge Siyu had just entered the front yard of Xiaofan Tower when they met Yuan Jinqiu, the prince of Yongchang Hou. Yuan Jinqiu saw Lin Fu's eagerness, walked over, put his arms around his shoulders, and complained loudly
: "But let me catch you. Brother Yu has no other request. I just want to hear from you personally the wonderfulness of the four battles and four victories of King Qin in the north!"
Yuan Jinqiu is the hereditary prince of Yongchang, and in terms of title, he is far superior to Lin Fu, a male from Jinhai County. Lin Fu also knows that Yuan Jinqiu seems to be wild and ambitious, but he is just surprised that Yuan Jinqiu is
Why do they look so similar to the newly-confessed King of Lu Yuan Jianhai? To say that Yuan Jinqiu and Yuan Jianhai are related by blood, they are nine generations apart. I don’t know how rare this blood relationship is, and it is nothing more than "
"We are a family for five hundred years" is slightly closer.
