Chapter 234: Something Isn't Quite Right
After coming out of the Cheng family, Lin Sen immediately devoted himself to active preparations, of course, as the footsteps of Zhenguan's second year are getting closer and closer, he has to be busy preparing for a good year.
Looking back on the harvest of this year, it is definitely rich and abnormal, for example, I have achieved the common wish of two lifetimes, finally got rid of being single, and found a domineering girl as my wife, or a girl who can satisfy the ultimate ambitions of loyal fans, but her personality is so good, and she is so deterrent to the outside world, thinking about Lin Sen feels very beautiful.
Of course, after the year, we must start to work hard for this rare happiness and make contributions.
After most men have a family, they tend to take on more responsibilities, have more responsibilities, and naturally have more reasons to fight.
Lin Sen is obviously a responsible person, or a person who keeps promises, since he promised his wife that he would earn her a wife as soon as possible, he naturally couldn't let her wait too long.
And this year's harvest is not just a good wife, more industries, more income, and more new dealers joining, which is definitely a lot of harvest, but at the same time, it also makes the burden on his shoulders much heavier.
Since there are so many people who are willing to believe that he follows him, then he doesn't want to disappoint so many people, no, at present, he is doing quite well, at least the villagers under his command are living a good life that most Chang'an residents are envious.
Don't worry about food and clothing, you still have some spare money in your hands, and even your children can go to school, even if you only learn the most basic enlightenment knowledge now, at least it will not be a big problem to be a big shopkeeper in the future.
Life is already so beautiful, and there is a brighter future waiting for them, and they are naturally very supportive of Lin Sen, the owner. It can be regarded as allowing Lin Sen to initially fulfill his promise to the dealers.
So when Lin Sen said that he needed to recruit fifteen generals and go to the battlefield with him, Zhuangzi almost didn't fight for these places, and the competition was fierce.
In the end, the selected ones are naturally the real top players in Zhuangzi, and each has a certain outstanding specialty.
For example, Xi Weizhong's father and son, such as another archer with the strength of an eagle archer on Zhuangzi, or a certain Zhuang Hu who is proficient in horse lance, and even said that he has a duel with Qin Qiong immediately, this is probably a gold medal fighter under the hand of a certain anti-king in the past.
And so on, anyway, whichever one is released, it belongs to the kind of top masters that all forces will strive for. Once the candidate has been decided, the rest is naturally to take the time to practice together.
The battlefield is different from fighting alone, how to stand, how to assist each other, there must be a set of rules, so as not to become mutual elbows, affecting their respective play, that is, the formation often mentioned in later generations.
This kind of training definitely did not delay Lin Sen to take advantage of the free time at the end of the year to take stock of the resources he had at hand, and the various industries that had been developing well before, including the fields on the Zhuangzi that were growing well, naturally did not need to be mentioned.
This year, because the loose officials and lords have been promoted, and there are official officials, this is a real increase in the number of people.
Lin Sen didn't care much about the money and grain he received at the end of the year, and he threw it in the warehouse and it was over, but he couldn't help but care about the post field and Yongye field.
Because the three positions add up to dozens of hectares of land, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the implementation of the uniform field system was quite good, and there were not so many officials, so even on the Chang'an side, the fields were enough.
The acres of land in Lin Sen's hands are all in full amount, and there is no discount at all, although they are scattered, but just looking at the quantity, the total number is not less than the total number of acres in Lin Zhuangzi, how to look at it, it is also a lot of input.
It's just that it's not the same as the Lin family's Zhuangzi, because the land is relatively scattered and not in Zhongnan Mountain, Lin Sen doesn't have the energy to take care of it all, so he simply rents it all to nearby farmers to live, and the rent is of course collected according to the practice of other nobles.
He doesn't want to be the maverick, and he won't deliberately lower his standards, wouldn't that offend all the nobles? He didn't do such a stupid thing.
Anyway, those farmers were not his own subordinates, and no matter how much favor was exerted, they would not die for him.
So he just chose a relatively loose standard to rent out, and he didn't expect too much from these fields to produce much.
Before the end of the year, the group of farmers who were busy going out to make money also suspended their snack business one after another, and rushed back happily with the harvest money and various New Year's goods, so the Lin family Zhuangzi became more and more lively.
After a few days of hard work, Lin Sen made a special trip back to Zhuangzi, selected some of the fattest and strongest big fat pigs, and simply cut them in two, not even the pig's blood was wasted, and they were packed in a wooden basin and turned back to cook together.
The divided pork is divided into points for each farmer, of course, he himself occupies a whole fat pig, killing the New Year's pig is just the beginning, and the follow-up of various related delicious foods is the biggest expectation for him during the New Year.
Bacon, ham, and sausages are all indispensable good things for the New Year, and then get some fat fat to squeeze oil, and it is most suitable to keep stewed vegetables when you go back.
The oil residue left over from refining lard will naturally not be wasted, sprinkle some cumin, get some salt particles, and put some seasoning similar to five-spice noodles, and it is also a delicious dish after a little heating.
Wrapping a hot pancake again, the fragrance was so good that Lin Sen happily killed three of them, and then resisted the urge to continue eating. There are many delicious things to eat.
However, these meat scraps still did not survive the night, and in the afternoon, when the bear children came, they all ate them all, and they were so fragrant and delicious that they couldn't stop.
The pig's head, pig's trotters and a whole set of internal organs were naturally used by Lin Sen to make the necessary dish for the Chinese New Year that he loved to eat in his previous life-whole pig jelly, which was not wasted at all.
Of course, did it celebrate the New Year, he didn't forget to go to his father-in-law's house, as well as the Qin family, and their group of familiar nobles, to send some New Year's goods, the gifts are not too many and not exquisite, the key is this intention.
"The matter of your going to war is basically decided, and you should set off soon after the year, so make preparations early." Cheng Yanjin said.
Cheng Huaimo's eyes were full of envy, and they couldn't help but raise their wine glasses and say some blessings.
And Cheng Huaiyu is inevitably a little sweet, but more worried.
"But you must pay more attention to this time, I think something is not right, because this operation is a little successful...... It's too easy! Pay more attention to your own safety! When Lin Sen was leaving, Cheng Yanjin deliberately avoided everyone and whispered in Lin Sen's ear.
"You mean......" Lin Sen was a little surprised.
"If you guard against your own people, you're afraid that someone will release black arrows." Cheng Yanjin nodded and said affirmatively. He has been through so much in his life, and of course he has encountered intrigues and betrayals.
