Chapter Seventy-Eight: Solicitation
After listening to Lin Fan's words, the attitude of Chen Qingshan and the others was no longer as tough as just now.
Now that he is under the eaves, he has to bow his head, and Lin Fan has already explained so much to them, which is enough to reflect his sincerity.
If they hold on to such a question again, it seems that they are a little hypocritical.
Chen Qingshan was silent for a moment before he said to Lin Fan: "I can promise you the two conditions you just said!"
"The owner of the village is really a cheerful person, since you have decided, then it is without further ado!"
"Where is Zhang Ping, you go outside to send a signal, let An Ning and them take people up the mountain now, take over the defense of the village for the time being, and assist the owner of the village to arrange various matters. As for the rest, I'll talk about it when the county government arrives! Lin Fan first complimented Chen Qingshan, and then gestured to He Fang Zhang Ping behind him.
"Wait!" Before the two of them could start acting, Chen Qingshan suddenly spoke up to stop them.
"Oh! But the owner of the village still has something to say? You're not going to go back, are you? Lin Fan teased with a smile.
Chen Qingshan snorted coldly, "Hmph! I just said that I could agree to these two conditions of the government, but I didn't say that I would agree to it now! Lord Lin, you're a little too anxious, aren't you? Moreover, what does it mean for adults to let soldiers and horses station? ”
Lin Fan chuckled and explained: "What the owner of the village said is that I was rude!"
"I just want to end the matter here as soon as possible, and then free up my hands to deal with Shuanglong Ridge, which is why I am a little anxious. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear! ”
"And please rest assured, the reason why I let the soldiers and horses under the mountain enter the village is just in case. If there is any emergency, it is easy to deal with it in time to avoid any bad impact. ”
"They won't be here for long, and when things are done here, they'll be gone. Of course, all the affairs in the village are still in charge of the village, and we will not ask! ”
Chen Qingshan nodded with a cold face, and accepted Lin Fan's statement.
"Lord Lin, as the so-called price starts on the ground and pays back on the spot, now that the conditions of the government have been said, can I mention our requirements?"
This time it was Lin Fan's turn to frown, and at this time he was also a little disgusted in his heart, feeling that this Chen Jiazhai was a little too greedy.
Out of Chen Jiazhai's reputation, Lin Fan did not deliberately embarrass them, nor was he willing to use force against them. Therefore, he went to Gao Wensheng several times to have today's meeting.
The conditions he just gave were already the best he could strive for, and there was no room for him to turn around.
From the perspective of the people in Chenjiazhai, it is naturally a little difficult to accept that they should change from a powerful party to a submissive person in the court.
Lin Fan also knew that it might be difficult for them to adapt to the change of identity for a while, so although he had a tough attitude, he had always said that he was kind and pleasant, and he was not too aggressive, let alone put forward more stringent conditions.
It's just that I didn't expect them to be still satisfied, and they still want to get an inch, although Lin Fan has a good temper, it doesn't mean that he is easy to bully!
It's just that he has come to this point, and Lin Fan doesn't want to affect the overall situation because of this, so he still plans to see how they are going to talk about it first, but there is inevitably a bit of displeasure in his words. "I don't know what the village owner wants?"
Chen Qingshan didn't say it directly, but shouted outside the door: "Fang Shu, you come in!"
Chen Fangshu, who had just returned from arranging the defense of the village, was suddenly called, which made him a little surprised, and he didn't know what this matter had to do with him.
Although his status in the village is not bad, he is quite respected by the owner of the village and the elders of the clan, and belongs to the leader of the younger generation.
But he can only observe this kind of major event, which is far from something that a junior like him can participate in or even decide.
But since it was Chen Qingshan who spoke, he could only walk in hard, salute and say, "Owner of the village, you called me?"
Chen Qingshan looked at Chen Fangshu, and then at Lin Fan, "Master Lin, I only have one request, I want Fang Shu and some other young juniors in the village to follow you in the future, but I hope you can treat them equally and don't treat them differently!" ”
Lin Fan and Chen Fangshu were both a little stunned, and Chen Fangshu hurriedly was about to speak, "Village master, I!" ”
"Alright, Fang Shu! I know what you want to say, let you leave the stockade, it's my decision, you don't say any more! Chen Qingshan's words were so categorical that Chen Fangshu could only swallow the words that had come to his mouth back into his stomach.
After appeasing Chen Fangshu, Chen Qingshan then said to Lin Fan: "Lord Lin, what do you think?"
"That's all?" Lin Fan also thought that Chen Qingshan might open his mouth and put forward some conditions that he couldn't agree to, but he didn't expect his request to be so simple, and asked with some frowns.
"Well, I just need such a request, and I hope the adults can agree!"
Chen Qingshan sighed, "Alas, speaking of which, the village can't help Fang Shu and their children!" Especially Fang Shu, he has been smart since he was a child, has extraordinary talent, and is excellent in martial arts and literature, and is the most outstanding junior in the village. ”
"It's a pity that because of the village, they can't go to the scientific expedition to gain fame and get ahead; Nor can you travel to study in all directions and increase your knowledge; You can't even enlist in the army to get an official position, you can only be trapped in this square inch. After all, it was the stockade that delayed them for so many years! ”
"From what I have seen and heard over the past few years, I know that adults are talented and not things in the pool. Now it's just a hidden dragon in the abyss, and sooner or later there will be a day of wind and clouds, and it will definitely be able to soar into the sky. ”
"So I hope that they can follow the adults, that is, I hope they can become the help of the adults, but also I want the adults to take them to see the outside world and experience it. It would be better if they could learn a little from the adults and then be able to build their own achievements. ”
Lin Fan was thinking about Chen Qingshan's purpose, although he seemed to be sincere, but Lin Fan didn't think that he could pull someone over casually, and the tiger's body was shocked, revealing the spirit of a king, and people could bow down to him.
He doesn't remember when he had such a skill, those are all stories in novels and picture books, and there are few people who can do it in reality, at least he is far from being able to do it now.
I'm afraid that Chen Qingshan did this, more so that they could keep an eye on him, and it was true that he would do something about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge when the time came.
And Chen Qingshan's thinking is also very simple, in addition to worrying that Lin Fan will turn his face and not recognize people, there is also the fact that since the juniors in the village cannot get ahead by themselves, then in fact, as long as they follow the right person, the result will be the same.
However, he also knew that such words were difficult to trust Lin Fan, so he said: "Please don't be careful, although I do have my own selfish intentions, maybe adults look ridiculous, but they have to do it for the sake of Chen Jiazhai."
"And everything I just said is all heartfelt, as long as the adults don't let them do things that are unfavorable to Chenjiazhai, they will be like other subordinates of the adults, absolutely obey the orders of the adults, and even I, the patriarch, can't interfere."
Lin Fan nodded, he had no intention of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, so naturally he would not care about Chen Qingshan's careful thoughts. And even if these people really rebel in the future, he has many ways to solve it, so that he will not really be led by the nose.
"Good! I can promise you that as long as they don't have two hearts in the future, I can not only treat them and the brothers in the inspection department equally, but even train them as personal guards. Not only can you receive the military salary allocated by the imperial court, but as long as you make military achievements, you can also be added to the rank of knight. ”
Chen Qingshan smiled bitterly: "With the words of the adult, I can rest assured!"
Lin Fan asked with some curiosity: "Are you really so relieved of me, are you really afraid that I will send them to the battlefield to die in vain?" You have to know that on the battlefield, it is normal for a few people to die, and no one can say anything! ”
The matter has come to this point, the determination has been made, and Chen Qingshan has already seen it, and he is no longer troubled by this matter.
He drove away the gloom in his heart and said with a hearty smile: "During this period of time, as an enemy, I have sent people to inquire about a lot of news about adults. Knowing that adults are generous, adults can not blame Song Mao's former subordinates. ”
"I believe that as long as Fang Shu and them can be loyal to the Lord wholeheartedly, the Lord will definitely not do anything to them. And as long as they are under the command of adults, my Chen Jiazhai will always be the help of adults, sharing honor and disgrace, and adults will not fail to understand this! ”
Lin Fan smiled helplessly, this Chen Qingshan can be regarded as having found out his weakness now, knowing that he is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard.
However, he was not annoyed, but asked thoughtfully: "I don't know if the owner of the village has any plans to go out of the mountain?" Believe me, there are more opportunities here, so that the owner of the village can rest assured that he does not have to worry so much. ”
The reason why Lin Fan asked like this was mainly because there were too few people who could be used in the inspection department, except for himself and An Ning, there were not even many who could read and write.
Even Wang Hu is the same, although Lao Cheng is serious and loyal to Lin Fan, but you can let him watch the house, and let him give advice, it is still a little too difficult for him.
However, Chen Qingshan was able to run Chenjiazhai vigorously and even grow stronger and stronger when surrounded by wolves, and his ability is naturally obvious to all. Therefore, Lin Fan didn't want to miss it, even if he knew that Chen Qingshan had little hope of agreeing, he was still invited.
Of course, the idea of buying horse bones is not impossible, but there is no need for it.
Because with his current status, it is still a little too early to form his own forces, and it is impossible for those celebrities to come to defect, even if someone really comes, what will he give to others.
If you throw out the names of Fang Ping and Lin Ruxian, you can attract a lot of people, but one or two are okay, and no one cares about him.
But if he really recruits people and cultivates private forces, if it spreads out in the future, then he will really find his own death!
Not only will the imperial court not let him go, but even Lin Ruxian will be implicated.
Instead of trying to find a way to engage in these sideways, it is better to work hard within the existing framework and run the inspection department well, which is better than anything else!
