Volume II: Half Landscape, Half Part, Half Fate, 141 Business

Lin Shuhan smiled: "That's nature. The people in your building are all uninformed snobs, and if you only think it is expensive, it is good......"

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wu Ruofei said angrily.

Lin Shuhan laughed twice: "You never asked, so why should I tell you." What's more, isn't it fun to watch you all be intoxicated by this kind of thing? ”

Wu Ruofei also smiled: "Okay, you 'Mr. Bansong', you have always treated me as a joke!" Today, I will punish you to draw me a picture of the dragon well, and I will have to accompany the poem, otherwise I will be hungry tonight! ”

Wen Lingjiao saw Lin Shuhan and Wu Ruofei's incomparably intimate flirtation, and she was already stupid in her heart, so she only listened to Lin Shuhan continue in a trance: "As for Miss Wen's current tea, it was bought by someone who knows how to do it. If it seems that Lin Mou expected it to be good, it should be grafted with the branches of the original tree of Longjing, and it is a good tea produced on the high mountain on the edge of the West Lake. Compared to the original old tree, it is naturally inferior, but it is also the best in the world! ”

After saying that, Lin Shuhan picked up the tea bowl and took a deep sip.

When everyone heard his introduction, they were already salivating, so they also raised the tea bowl in front of them and took a sip, which was really fragrant and refreshing.

Qiu Yizhi swallowed half a mouthful of tea in his stomach with pity, and said to Lin Shuhan: "Mr. Lin, I just listened to Mr. Li's high remarks, and suddenly felt that his mouth was suddenly opened. Whether you drink tea or not, everything is the same, you must always understand the three flavors, so that you can draw inferences from one another, so that you will not follow the book and never grow. ”

Of course, Lin Shuhan was right to listen to Qiu Yizhi's reasoning, but he didn't know what the deep meaning was behind his words, so he shook his fan and listened to Qiu Yizhi say:

"Therefore, there is another thing like asking Mr. to do, but with Mr.'s knowledge, it is inevitably a bit overkill, but I don't know how to speak?"

"Hahaha!" Lin Shuhan laughed and said, "Lord Qiu is really a person who can speak, obviously claiming that he can't speak, isn't this already spoken?" ”

Qiu Yizhi also laughed "haha": "Mr. is a smart person, then I will be blunt." I want to ask my husband to give them a lesson, and I don't want all of them to be able to get famous, so that they can learn a few words, so that they will not be blind for the rest of their lives. ”

When Lin Shuhan heard this, his face sank and said: "My lord, don't blame Lin for speaking ugly, these people are all mud-legged and rough people, they are all in their teens, and they have long passed the age of enlightenment, even if I want to teach, they may not be able to learn it!" What's more, these people are all martial artists, as long as they can understand the orders from above, know how to charge into battle, and regard death as life, can they use literacy and hyphenation? ”

Qiu Yizhi said: "Mr. Lin is my confidant, and I might as well speak up." Among the people under my command, Zhao Chengxiao and eighteen pro-soldiers were all bandits, and they made great contributions in the battle of rebellion, and they have been awarded large and small military positions, which can be regarded as a positive result. And these newly recruited people are afraid that there will be no such blessings. ”

He turned his head to look at Wen Lingjiao, and then said: "Mr. Lin, and Miss Wu know, I have no intention of becoming famous, even if I am now this sesame mung bean official, I am also forced to be helpless, and one day I will return to the mountains and forests." When the time comes, these 200 newly recruited people will always have to find a way to survive, and if they go up the mountain with me, won't they become the king of the mountain who provokes rebellion below? ”

Lin Shuhan was amused by Qiu Yizhi's words and laughed, Wu Ruofei also covered his mouth and couldn't stop smiling, but Wen Lingjiao had another emotion - she really hoped that Qiu Yizhi would return as soon as possible on the day of "returning to the mountains and forests", so that she herself would be able to follow an incognito and be a pair of immortal couples with the Venerable Master.

Lin Shuhan on the side said: "Although Lin calls himself 'Mr. Bansong', he has never been a gentleman. If you don't teach well, don't blame me. ”

Lin Shuhan has this sentence, which can be regarded as agreeing to the request of Qiu Yizhi.

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi was very happy, and said: "Mr. Lin is too modest. With Mr.'s talent, maybe there are one or two of the new recruits who are smart-minded, and they can learn from Mr. A little rare, and when the time comes, Mr. will be their teacher. Not to mention anything else, it will be easy to repair and build houses in the future and transfer a few soldiers as helpers! ”

Lin Shuhan listened to Qiu Yizhi's sycophant shooting just right, and he was a little proud in his heart, but he was still reserved in his mouth, and said: "Who is talking about this, but it is ...... now"

"What's going on right now?" Qiu Yizhi hurriedly asked.

"I'm afraid this tea is going to be cold now, if we don't drink it, I'm afraid it will be a tyrannical thing!" As he spoke, Lin Shuhan picked up the teacup and tasted it by himself while smiling.

Qiu Yi's recruitment went quite smoothly.

As soon as Qiu Yizhi took office, he avenged Yang Yinger and Yang Qiaoer's sisters, and did not hesitate to offend Shangfeng, and had already accumulated a lot of fame among the people; Second, at the beginning of recruitment, he spent a lot of money to recruit talents, and recruited a woodcutter with gold, so that everyone knew that he would do what he said; The salary of the three military is really very generous, and it is impossible to refuse.

Therefore, three days after the recruitment documents were posted, all the school-age men in Shanyin County came to register, and even those who heard the news in Linxian County rushed over. Qiu Yizhi was afraid of accepting soldiers from Linxian County, and had disputes with colleagues in other counties, so he designated only the strong men of his own county.

Rao is like this, in just a few days, tens of thousands of people have signed up.

Zhao Chengxiao did not go to Mingzhou with Qiu Yizhi to do business before, and only stayed in the county to recuperate from his injuries, so he was very energetic, so he mustered up all his energy to screen the source of soldiers. However, he had a high vision and strict standards, and in the end, he only happened to choose one hundred and ninety-nine strong men, together with Meng Hong, who was personally selected by Qiu Yizhi earlier, which was exactly enough for two hundred.

So Qiu Yizhi bought building materials from the Yulu, learned the emperor's method of loving the generals, and let the newly recruited soldiers do it themselves, close to the not majestic city wall of Shanyin County, and set up a military camp that was not grand in scale, but also quite disciplined.

Most of the villagers recruited by Qiu Yizhi and Zhao Chengxiao are poor farmers in the countryside, and they live in some simple thatched houses at home.

Qiu Yizhi saw that there were still a lot of building materials left after the construction of the barracks, so he asked people to build a tower on the bare front gate of the city wall. This tower was only used for lookouts, and the scale was not very large, and it took only two days to build it.

Qiu Yizhi made such a big move in Shanyin County, which inevitably attracted people's attention, and he was a person who offended countless colleagues in the Jiangnan officialdom, and all kinds of impeachment submissions were sent to the Yamen of Jinling Provincial Government like snowflakes for a while.

The new Jiangnan Provincial Assassin surnamed Qian Mingfeng is an old squire of the household department, who is over sixty years old, only because Emperor Zheng Rong and Prime Minister Zhong Likuang could not find a suitable person to take over the position of the dead Yin Chengliang for a while, so he was temporarily promoted.

This old assassin is very old, so he is waiting to retire, but he was arranged to come to the troubled place of Jiangnan Province, and when he first arrived, there was a rebellion against the Japanese invaders. Although the matter of appeasement of the Japanese Invaders, the emperor has clearly handed over the matter to the general Cui Nan to mention, but the Jiangnan Assassin Shi is the master after all, and a little logistics support has already kept him busy.

Therefore, when the old assassin saw these impeachment articles, he didn't want to pay attention to them, but the crimes listed in the articles were too terrifying, and they were all big crimes that would be cut by a thousand knives if they were verified, such as rebellion, rebellion, private death, and befriending bandits.

Master Qian knew that Jiangnan Province was the richest area in the world, and thousands of pairs of eyes were staring, maybe if he delayed for a few more days, there would be a patrol of the imperial historian who wrote a good chapter and sent it directly to Beique, saying that he was derelict in his duties, deliberately delayed, and was suspected of being in cahoots with the traitor.

However, this old Qian Thorn Shi was in the center of the imperial court, and he also vaguely heard that Qiuyi in Shanyin County had a deep background, and he could not be offended casually. So he had an idea, discussed with a few of his masters, only summarized and abridged the bullet stamps sent below, and never put forward his half-word opinion, and packed the original into a knee-high bundle, and sent someone to Jiangnan.

Qiu Yi's recruitment was based on the idea of Emperor Zheng Rong, and the following impeachments like flies and sparrows, of course, the emperor did not pay attention to them. In addition, the rebellion of the Japanese in the southeast coast is becoming more and more intense, and when the army is being employed, it will not shake Qiu Yizhi's military spirit with this. Therefore, Zheng Rong only read a little bit of the history of Qian Thorn, and the rest of the bullet seals were sealed as they were, and they were not even opened.

In addition to handing over the training to Zhao Chengxiao, Qiu Yizhi was also very busy.

He wrote letters in his own hand, one to Zhou Cijing in the north, and the other to Mingzhou to Li Zhi's comprador who stayed on the mainland.

Zhou Cijing knew the details of Qiu Yizhi here, and when he saw that it was a letter sent by his emperor's righteous son, he couldn't ignore it, specially prepared a heavy gift, and sent a confidant to go south to Shanyin County to meet Qiu Yizhi.

On the Mingzhou side, because Li Zhidong had already explained to the left-behind comprador before he went to Fusang to find the antidote, so after receiving Qiu Yizhi's letter, the comprador also prepared a gift and came to Shanyin County to discuss matters in person.

After several parties arrived, Qiu Yizhi invited Lin Shuhan and Zhao Fuyi to charter the best teahouse in the county to discuss things together.

In fact, Zhou Cijing had long intended to open up overseas trade, but the previous channels for customs clearance were all in the hands of Yin Chengliang, the assassin of Jiangnan, and Zhenggui, the king of Lingnan. Most of the other maritime merchants were suspected of smuggling, and Zhou Cijing was reluctant to trade with them because of his status as an imperial merchant. Therefore, Qiu Yizhi's suggestion, for Zhou Cijing, even if it is not a charcoal in the snow, it is also the icing on the cake.

The henchmen sent by Zhou Cijing this time, of course, had to inherit the meaning of the big boss, and agreed without hesitation. It is necessary to organize the Zhou family's porcelain kilns, silk mills, wine cellars, tea gardens and other industries in Jiangnan, Huguang, and even Yunnan, Guizhou, Bashu, and other places, and transport the porcelain, silk, liquor, tea, and other goods produced therein to Mingzhou Port through the Yangtze River channel, and use the Li family's big ships to send them to the Wa Kingdom, Nanyang, Luzon, Siam, Persia, Dashi, Daqin, and other places, so as to make a good profit.

It's the same with Li Zhi's side. Because he was convicted of smuggling, he could not go deep into the interior to purchase goods, so he could only buy goods at high prices in coastal ports such as Mingzhou, and the purchase price was often one or two times more expensive than the place of origin. Today, with the direct supply of wealthy businessman Zhou Cijing, not only the cost is reduced, but also the quality is more guaranteed.

However, Li Zhi was not in the country after all, and with such an important deal, the comprador who stayed behind did not dare to be self-absorbed easily, and hesitated but refused to agree.
