Lin Dong walked out of the study, and as soon as he walked to the entrance of the courtyard, he looked at Chen Chang pacing left and right, and there was a bucket of water next to him, looking here.

"General Lin" Chen Chang looked at it and shouted loudly, and his tightly knit brows were soothed.

"What's wrong?" Lin Dong asked vigilantly, the study was heavy, he had always forbidden anyone to approach.

"Oh, my subordinates were patrolling around, and they saw smoke coming out of the study, and they were worried that there was a fire. ”

"It's okay, I burned some unused ancient medicine books. ”

"Okay, then the subordinate retired first. Saying that, Chen Chang saluted, just took a few steps back, turned around to leave, but was stopped by Lin Dong again.

"Chen Chang. ”

"In. Chen Chang walked back quickly, Lin Dong was just about to speak, but he was worried and hesitated, and then thought about it, if Chen Chang and Lin Xiaoliu colluded, then the matter of the missing soldiers of the two provinces would not be hidden at the risk of suspicion, and he took a few steps closer at the moment, whispering to Chen Chang's side.

After a moment, Chen Chang was startled and then nodded.

In the afternoon, Lin Dong returned to the study, re-packed the treasures in the stone room into the ring, and after leaving the mansion, he personally went to the four major financial merchants in the city, namely the Baili family in the transportation industry, the Tong family in the Dan pharmaceutical industry, the Qing family in the wine industry, and the Chen family in the department store industry.

Tomorrow, he will lead troops to support Yangping Pass, and Lin Dong still has the most important thing to prepare for - military salary.

Although 30,000 soldiers were transferred from the Yunan Army this time, but the money and food were not taken, counting the remaining defenders of Yangping Pass, and the soldiers recruited in the future, it was tens of thousands of food, drink and wages, this time to Yangping Pass, next time I don't know when to return, if you add the 50,000 Lin family troops who were killed, this is a large amount of pension, all of them, Lin Dong must be prepared as soon as possible.

Throughout the afternoon, Lin Dong rushed around the West City, which is equivalent to the CBD of the South City, where major guilds, gangs, and chambers of commerce are located.

Although it is said to be a march for the country, but in business, the four major financial merchants plus the major guilds, gangs, and chambers of commerce are not the main ones who will suffer, plus Lin Dong raised a huge amount of money this time, almost half of the cash in the entire Nancheng business district has been exchanged, and in the end, after a busy afternoon, Lin Dong exchanged the nearly 100 million family wealth accumulated over the past few decades into cash, a total of 50 million taels.

At the same time, in the Lin Mansion, as soon as Chen Changgang saw Lin Xiaoliu walking by in the courtyard, he ran towards him with a panting look, shouting as he ran: "Little Liuzi, where is General Lin?"

Lin Xiaoliu shook his head: "I don't know, what's wrong?"

"Hey~" Chen Changyi sighed, "That person is ready to recruit, but General Lin is gone, and I have searched all over the mansion." ”

"Maybe it's out. Lin Xiaoliu said casually, Chen Chang was helpless, turned around and ran a few steps towards the gate, but he heard Lin Xiaoliu shout loudly: "Uncle Chen." ”

Chen Chang smiled, and immediately pulled down, looked in a hurry again, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Who is going to recruit, there is an accident in the house again?"

"Alas~ I said that you don't know either. ”

"Who?"

"The surname of Beiqi is Gu. ”

"Gu Fulian?!" Lin Xiaoliu's eyes were startled.

"You know all this?"

Lin Xiaoliu scratched his head and squeezed out a somewhat well-behaved smile: "Of course the person who harmed Brother Xiao knows." ”

"Don't talk about leaking your mouth, the general is still useful. ”

"Don't worry, I'm very tight-mouthed. ”

"Okay, then I'll go out to find General Lin. As he spoke, Chen Chang waved goodbye.

"Alas, you are slow. Lin Xiaoliu waved his hand and watched Chen Chang's back run away, until he watched him run out of the gate, the smile on his face twitched and stiffened on his face, trembling for a while, and finally slowly pulled it down, lowered his eyelids, and looked at the empty gate blankly.
