Chapter 349 is a great achievement

At that moment, Lin Xiao took Ling'er and Situ Zheng and returned to the Governor's Mansion first.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Lin Xiao immediately found Lian Chengbi and Xia Bomin, and explained to them in detail what happened today and what was new.

As for the seizure of grain on the black market, Lianchengbi naturally has a fully supportive attitude.

This was originally his idea, even if only a part of the black grain could be seized, it would be of great help to alleviate the spring famine.

However, when he heard that Lin Xiao had the intention to take the opportunity to carry out land reform in advance and divide the land and floating wealth of these people, he shook his head again and again and muttered:

"Master Hou, this matter ...... I'm afraid it's not ready yet......"

"Even adults, this matter has to be done sooner or later, long pain is better than short pain, in my opinion, it is not necessarily a bad thing to cut through the mess quickly,"

Lin Xiao saw that he had concerns, knowing that he had never done such a thing, and he was afraid that the court would turn his face, so Wen Yan comforted, "In this way, you don't have to interfere in this matter, and the captive army will be in charge......

"Master Hou, it's not that the officials are afraid of things,"

Lian Chengbi looked at Lin Xiao and said with a wry smile, "Dividing the land is a big deal, and there are too many people involved...... It's not easy to do. ”

"How?" Lin Xiao said quietly.

"This ...... But where there is a powerful wealthy family, which family is not a tree with deep roots, and there are people in the court......"

Lian Chengbi frowned lightly and said, "If we offend those people in the court for this, I am afraid that it will set off a lot of waves, and at the moment, we still need the support of the imperial court......"

"Even adults don't need to worry too much, others are afraid of courtiers, but I am not afraid!"

Lin Xiao waved his hand, his eyes were like torches, and he said, "Besides, the enemy is current, how can the emperor let them mess around?" The emperor will weigh the importance of the social interests of the country and the private interests of the country. ”

What kind of climate can the people of the small court become?

Lao Tzu wished they all jumped out one by one, just to clean up together!

……

Even so, even Chengbi didn't have anything to say, the discussion stopped, and Lin Xiao said to do it.

On the one hand, those villains let Xia Bomin interrogate them overnight; On the other hand, Lin Xiao immediately sent people to Humen and Macao to invite Zhang Chenfeng and Li Tao.

Since Lian Chengbi can't let go of his hands and feet, then Li Tao will be asked to do this matter.

Lin Xiao did this because Xia Bomin's battalion had already set off, and the battle of the Eastern Expedition to Fujian was imminent, but he really had no time to deal with these trivial matters in the rear.

In fact, after the general policy of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" was determined, how to operate it specifically, and secretly competed with those local tyrants and inferior gentry, Li Tao was the expert.

The transfer of Zhang Chenfeng was due to the need for his reconnaissance battalion to return to Guangzhou to strengthen the garrison.

According to Lin Xiao's orders, at this moment, Zhang Chenfeng's reconnaissance battalion was already starting to recruit troops and was preparing to expand into a cavalry regiment.

Lin Xiao asked him to hand over Humen to Xia Bomin's independent battalion to garrison, bring the veterans and recruits to Guangzhou, settle in the eastern campus of the city, and train with Duan Zhenghong as his companion.

With these two tiger generals in charge, plus the second battalion left by Xia Bomin, it is enough to deter the provinces in western Guangdong.

As for Macau, Lin Xiao intends to treat Hong Kong as a whole and hand it over to Li Hanzhi to guard.

At this moment, Yu Cheng had already left for Qinzhou, and Lin Xiao asked him to replace Li Hanzhi as the garrison governor of Qinzhou Mansion and the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, and Mo Yuanwei was his deputy.

Therefore, Li Hanzhi will soon be able to arrive in Hong Kong, and with him, nothing will happen to Macao.

Because Li Hanzhi wanted to take away the main force of the Qinzhou garrison battalion, only one baggage company was left for Yu Cheng, and the rest of the thousands were Mo Yuanwei's old Ming army.

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Lin Xiao also promoted Qin Shuya, the deputy commander of the guard company who stayed on Baisha Island, to one level, and appointed him as the commander of the defense town garrison company, responsible for the defense of Baisha Island and the defense town factory area.

In this way, Qinzhou and Fangcheng each left a main company, and it was enough to suppress bandits and prevent pirates.

After all, for such a long time, Mo Yuanwei's people have also undergone formal training, and in addition to the fact that the weapons are almost there, the combat effectiveness has been significantly improved.

Qisha Fort and Tiger Harbor Shipyard each have a team of sailors stationed, and Sun Lei is there for the specific command and dispatch, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

……

The next day, Guo Longyue really came to visit as promised, and Lin Xiao received him very politely.

After some pleasantries, Lin Xiao learned that this wealthy businessman lived in Wansongling, on the south bank of the Pearl River, and not only had his own shop in Macau, but also had several large sea boats and many river boats under his command, and his financial resources were no worse than that Jack Lee in Macau.

"Can proprietor Guo's sea ship go to Annam?"

After the greetings, Lin Xiao finally told the real purpose of inviting him to the meeting.

It turned out that what Lin Xiao had been worried about was that there was not enough fleet to buy grain overseas.

At hand, Chen Qice had a fleet of sailors, but most of those ships were warships, and they would soon go to Fujian to participate in the battle to recover Taiwan, so he had to find civilian ships to help him in transporting grain.

"Back to the Hou Ye, the grass people's boat is not very large, and it mainly runs near the sea all year round,"

Guo Longyue is so shrewd, as soon as he heard the word Annan, he had already guessed what Lin Xiao meant, and immediately responded respectfully, "However, in the month of light wind and waves, I have also been overseas, and I have run as far as Manila......"

"Oh,"

Lin Xiao said with a smile, "So, isn't Guo Dongzhu's business all in Haojing?" ”

"Yes,"

Guo Longyue said with a smile, "My own ship goes to sea, and it will benefit more...... Sometimes it can be doubled. ”

"Oh,"

Lin Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "Now that Haojing has withdrawn, in the short term, the business of the Francophone is bound to have some impact, can Guo Dongzhu consider running a few more times to coastal defense and occupy the city...... By the way, bring some food back? ”

"Lord Hou......"

"This matter is not forced, Jack Lee has already agreed to ......"

Lin Xiao knew the little Jiujiu in his heart, squinted his eyes, looked at him and said, "If you are willing to participate, Lin will not treat you badly......"

After a pause, he continued: "I'm waiting in Qinzhou, and I've produced a few fresh things, and at that time, you and Jack Lee can both specialize in ......."

"Hou Ye's dispatch, how dare the grass people not do their best."

Guo Longyue suppressed the joy in his heart, got up and arched his hand.

Qinzhou's new novelty, he just heard about it a few days ago.

It is said that one of the oil lamps is particularly useful, and that Jack Lee has won the right to sell it, and is gearing up to make a big move.

"That's good, if you can do this well and help me survive the spring famine, it will be a great achievement for the country and the people,"

Lin Xiao's eyebrows stretched, and he said with a smile, "However, the price of grain ......"

"Parity, parity......"

Guo Longyue said repeatedly, "Master Hou's move is for the benefit of the people, how dare the grass people profit from it, even if it is upside down, it is incumbent." ”

"Okay, good, good, hahaha, then Lin is here, thank you Guo Dongzhu first."

Lin Xiao laughed and thanked him again and again.

This tricky matter was successfully solved, and his mood was very relaxed.

In the end, Lin Xiao took out one hundred taels of silver, which was regarded as compensation for the destruction of the restaurant.

Seeing this, Guo Longyue shirked in every possible way, but Lin Xiao did not follow it, and said that this was their policy, Guo Longyue had to accept it, but he took out 10,000 taels of silver tickets, saying that it was the capital of the army.

Lin Xiao thought about it, but there was nothing wrong with this, and said in his heart that it would be used as military salary anyway, and the money of you rich businessmen would not be collected for nothing.

Ling'er made a table of dishes very carefully in the back kitchen, saying that she wanted to leave Guo Longyue to eat, and repay Brother Guo for coming out for her last time and risking death to save her.

Lin Xiao saw a large table of good dishes and knew that she was unwilling to owe others favors, so she happily accompanied her, and the guests and hosts had lunch together.

While eating, Lin Xiao's heart was full of slander, this stupid girl, can't she sleep if she doesn't finish the few taels of silver in hand?
