Chapter 14: The Debt Parade

Of course, Lin Feng's good deeds came to an abrupt end here, because he had already heard the sound of Yaya's brisk and hurried footsteps in his ears.

Fei'er was gently pushed by Lin Feng, and immediately came to her senses, hurriedly got up, and quickly moved to the case where the piano was placed.

"Yaya, you come too, I'll tell you a new method of notation." Lin Feng beckoned Yaya over, hugged her on her lap, and freed one hand to start drawing a simple score.

Lin Feng had long wanted to pass on this skill to anyone, he only remembered the famous songs he played most often in his previous life, and his stomach was almost out of stock, if he didn't teach his apprentice, he should show his stuffing in front of experts, this Fei'er came in such a timely manner, taught such a personal apprentice, in the future, as long as he hummed the melody, she would write the score, and he would retire from the background as soon as possible.

After teaching the rules of simple notation, Lin Feng wrote out all the scores that had been sacrificed in the previous few times, so that the two of them could slowly practice them all in the future, and then left under the reluctant gaze of the two.

Lin Feng didn't go back to his residence directly with the lantern, and turned to Sun Cuo's place again. Although it was late, Sun Cuo still did not rest, and was standing in front of a newly built blast furnace, shouting at the guy standing on the ladder: "No, when we first tried it, the charcoal blocks were staggered and stacked in layers when they were first placed, not stacked together. ”

"Brother Sun!" Lin Feng shouted.

"Brother Lin, you're here." Sun Cuo emphasized another sentence at the guy, turned around and ran over.

"How's it going, coke and steelmaking are going well, right?" Lin Feng put his hand around Sun Cuo's shoulder.

"It's ok. I found that the soil here is very sticky, and the effect of burning it as a stove is better than that in Jinling City. By the way, there are a few small things you drew that I don't really understand? Sun Cuo wiped his black dirty hands on his body a few times, and then rubbed the clothes on his shoulders against his nose.

Previously, after arriving in the valley, Lin Feng combined the common cold weapons of the special forces in later generations and the characteristics of the current times, and drew a few patterns and handed them to Sun Cuo, including a sawtooth dagger, a three-edged military thorn, a one-foot hidden blade, and a blow pipe, but unfortunately there is no master of crossbow making now, otherwise it would be more perfect if each person had a delicate bow and crossbow.

"Well, which ones?" Lin Feng followed Sun Cuo into a separate house.

"That's it, long stick-like, why do you need to add grooves for the slug? It's very cumbersome to fight. Sun Cuo took out the pattern of the military stab.

"This kind of weapon might as well be made into a corresponding model, and it is estimated that a lot will be needed in the future." Lin Feng didn't answer directly, but changed the topic. The main purpose of the military thorn is to cause more damage and facilitate bloodletting, which is a bit bloody, so you can't let this old brother know too much, so as not to feel uncomfortable.

"Alright then, then there's no problem, I'll call you out as soon as possible." Sun Cuo nodded and put the patterns back.

"Brother Sun, how is it, the money is no problem, right? Is the coal thing solved? Lin Feng asked with concern. During this time, he took a knife from Sun Cuo, and he was afraid that there would be problems with funds.

"Two days ago, Wei San sent a deposit of 1,000 guan, and money is not a problem. As for the coal, when you reminded you earlier that we were going to move, according to your request, I have already negotiated with the Jiangbian Coal Yard, and they will unload 100 taels of coal a week in a small village near the river, and we will go to the media to pay on time. It's time to go tomorrow. Sun Cuo rubbed his hands and said.

"Okay, Brother Sun, you have worked hard. In addition, there will be a lot of work to make weapons in the future, so you should consider whether there is a way to make good use of the waterfall in the valley. Don't forget to rest early! Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, patted Sun Cuo on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

Just when Lin Feng didn't have to worry about money, Han Xizai made a debt collection parade in Jinling City because of a sum of money. The cause of the incident was the donation that everyone made to Yaya's village when they debated the ten questions on recruitment.

After that day, many people forgot about the promised donation as a trivial matter, but Han Xizai did not forget, he began to stir up the wind and rain by Li Jing to indicate that he and Li Yu were responsible.

Han Xizai wanted to cause trouble, and secondly, because after Lin Feng left, as a hardcore supporter of change, he was severely attacked by the Song Party in the court, and he was full of anger, and he was the first to find Li Zhenggu, who was known for his stinginess.

Li Zhenggu's family was poor when he was young, and he lacked food and clothing for a long time, and when he grew up, he always had a strong sense of possession of money and things. When he was a favorite of the powerful in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he still regarded money as a stingy, and even the candles burned at home had to be counted in detail every day, not to mention the promised 100 donations.

Under Han Xizai's deliberate misdirection, Li Zhenggu thought that everyone was not willing to pay this donation, and a big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he excused himself in every way, and finally almost drove Han Xizai out of the Li Mansion on the grounds that he was busy with official business.

This is exactly what Han Xizai wanted, and he found Li Yu for the second time. Of course Li Yu has no problem, with a wave of his hand, the money was taken out immediately. With Li Yu's precedent, Han Xizai went to various houses to ask for money as soon as he got into the court, and the others were basically either rich or expensive, so naturally there was no problem, and the donation soon left Li Zhenggu and Li Jing.

At this time, Han Hee-jae began to make a mistake. He found four large pieces of rice paper and wrote down the words "thank you for donations", and hired a group of idlers in the city and a band. This is also what Han Xizai learned from Lin Feng's trick of creating a situation and forcing the Song party members to nod on the spot through a debate competition!

This team is so eye-catching on the road! Han Xizai walked in front in a scarlet official robe with a spring breeze on his face, eight high-spirited idlers holding four big characters followed closely, and the band composed of eight shy men beat all the way, which was very lively, and other idlers kept publicizing to passers-by: "The privy envoy Lord Li is going to donate 500 yuan to the poor villages outside the city today, let's watch the excitement together!" ”

Chinese are the most fond of watching the excitement, and the misfortune of others is simply their own great luck! Along the way, there are more and more onlookers behind, especially near the Li Mansion, the number of people has increased much faster, everyone knows that this Lord Li is known for being stingy, and how he has changed his sex today, they all want to see what is going on.

By the time they arrived at the Li Mansion, the team had expanded to several hundred. When the people at the gate of the Li Mansion saw this situation, they quickly closed the door and looked out through the crack in the door.

Han Xizai waved his hand, and the people in the band immediately worked hard, beating the gongs and drums vigorously, and there was a stormy rush first. Han Xizai waved his hand again, and the people in the band stopped, and all the idlers immediately shouted in unison: "Thank you to the privy envoy Master Li for his generosity and donation of 500 yuan", and when they shouted for the second time, there were already many onlookers and uninformed people who were also infected for the excitement and shouted loudly in unison. The voice went straight to the depths of the Li Mansion.

When Li Zhenggu just stood up in surprise when he heard the faint shout, the subordinates at the door also rushed to report. What's going on? Li Zhenggu quickly rushed to the door with a group of subordinates.

As soon as he saw the main owner, Han Xizai took two steps, ran up the steps, and gave a big gesture: "Han represents all the residents of the villages outside the city, Xie Lu and Lord Xie Li are anxious for justice and righteousness, and help 500 times!" ”

"What, where did you get five hundred kans?" Li Zhenggu was suddenly anxious.

Han Xizai didn't answer, waved his hand behind him, and several idlers in tattered clothes immediately fell at Li Zhenggu's feet, tears flowing, on behalf of the villagers to thank this great benevolent man and Qing official, at this time, the neighbors around Li Mansion also gathered around and paid tribute to Li Zhenggu.

Li Zhenggu's face turned blue with anger and was about to have a seizure. The butler behind him grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Master, in this situation, we can only admit the account first." Otherwise, it will spread all over Jinling City. ”

Li Zhenggu stomped his feet hatefully, helped up the idler who was still lying on the ground with a forced smile, and gritted his teeth to express his modesty. It's hard to ride a tiger, Li Zhenggu had to turn around and signal to the housekeeper, take the money!

That night, Lord Li's roar sounded in the sky above Li's mansion for half the night, and all the people under him hid far away. The subordinates in the study were stunned for a while, and they lit two more candles than usual, and were slapped by the angry Lord Li for a full twenty years!

This is not over, the next morning in the court, Han Xizai was the first to run out of the book, specifically on the matter of donation, Li Jing played, and deliberately mentioned Li Zhenggu's donation of 500 guan twice, and praised it loudly, which made Li Jing's dragon heart happy, and with a wave of his hand, he made up the 1,000 guan he promised very neatly.

Li Zhenggu, who was standing among the courtiers, suddenly felt that there were knives shot from his eyes in front and back, left and right. Everyone hated it, that day, everyone tacitly agreed that in addition to the emperor, Lin Feng, and Liao Jusu, each person would donate 100 yuan, what limelight did you Li Zhenggu have, and what kind of ability did you have? Just how much money do you have?

Li Zhenggu hated so much that his teeth were about to crush, but he could only swallow it in his stomach, so he had to bow his head and ponder how to apologize to the ministers in the future. There is no way to do it, he is a big official, but there are few junior officials who participated in the debate competition that day!

After the end, Li Zhenggu accompanied the smiling face to invite the people who were older than him in the debate tournament that day to have a meal to show reparation. Originally, Li Zhenggu also wanted to save the banquet expenses, but everyone was angry, and even ate Lang fees, and it took more than 50 times in the end, which made Li Zhenggu feel pain for a while, and when he went home, he asked his subordinates to extinguish several candles. As a result, two women accidentally fell and three subordinates were injured in the almost dark Li Mansion that night.
