Those dozen or so big men were all Yuan Er's cronies, and they were originally all gangsters who followed Yuan Er, but now that Yuan Er has gained power, he has become a respected figure, so he only Yuan Er is the first to look forward, and when he heard Yuan Er's words, he immediately surrounded Lin Yuan at the core.

What Yuan Er didn't expect was that Lin Yuan, who was surrounded by the core, didn't have the slightest intention of panicking, but laughed, Yuan Er said angrily: "Lin Yuan, what are you laughing at?" ”

Lin Yuan put away his smile and said to Yuan Er, "Do these subordinates of yours know who I am?" ”

Yuan Er said angrily: "Why don't you know the way? Aren't you Lin Yuan? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Since they know that I am Lin Yuan, then they must know that I am the governor of the three northeastern provinces, what is the crime of killing the feudal officials of the imperial court, I don't think they will know the way, right?" ”

Yuan Er smiled gloomily when he heard this: "Lin Yuan, don't think that you are the governor of the three northeastern provinces, there are five people and six people, let me tell you, you are not even a fart in the eyes of our Lord Yuan, you say, can I and my subordinates be afraid of you?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You are not afraid of me, are you not even afraid of the laws of the Qing Dynasty?" If your Lord Yuan is really not afraid of the laws of the Qing Dynasty, it is a conspiracy to rebel, you can ask your master if he has the guts! ”

Yuan Er laughed wildly when he heard Lin Yuan's words, and only after laughing did he say, "Lin Yuan, do you think anyone will believe that you came to the shipyard in the middle of the night?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "As the governor of the three northeastern provinces, there is no reason for me to run to the shipyard in the middle of the night, so no one should believe it." ”

Yuan Er said: "Since no one believes that it will be over, I will kill you secretly, and when the time comes, I will not know it!" Speaking of this, Yuan Er's eyes were solemn, and he said in a gloomy voice: "Brothers, do it!" ”

The big men rushed up and were about to catch Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan reached out and pulled the pistol out from his waist, Yuan Er sneered: "Lin Yuan, do you want to scare people with a pistol again?" Let me tell you, this group of my brothers all have human lives in their hands, and none of them are afraid of death, how can you deal with so many of me with a gun? ”

After Yuan Er finished saying this, he suddenly saw Lin Yuan smiling at him, and then jumped at him suddenly, and actually rushed out from between the two big men. The two big men wanted to catch Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan's leap was so fast that the big man had already rushed to Yuan Er's front without even touching his clothes.

Yuan Er saw Lin Yuan rushing in front of him, and then he felt that a cool thing was on his forehead, and then he heard Lin Yuan's voice sound: "Yuan Er, don't move, if my gun goes off, the bullet will go into your head." ”

Yuan Er was surprised in his heart: "Why is this Lin Yuan so fast? My men are so shitty! At this time, I heard Lin Yuan say leisurely: "Yuan Er, we don't have any deep hatred, as for you living or dead?" Let your men get out of the way first, and we'll talk about it alone. ”

Yuan Er didn't want to die, and looking at today's situation, Lin Yuan could get out of the way if he killed himself, so it would be too unworthy for him to die, so Yuan Er said to everyone: "You guys go out first, and I'll talk to Lin Shuai alone." ”

Everyone walked out of the room after listening to Yuan Er's words, and only Yuan Er, Lin Yuan and Du Yeer were left in the room, Lin Yuan pulled a stool and sat down, and said with a smile: "Yuan Er, Du Yeer, what are you panicking about?" Although I have found out that you are tired of building ships, as long as you agree to my conditions, I will not tell you what I have seen. ”

Yuan Er frowned and said, "What you said is true?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, and Yuan Er said: "Don't lie to me, you have a grudge against Lord Yuan, how could you let go of such a good opportunity for revenge." ”

Lin Yuan smiled disdainfully after hearing this, and said: "First of all, I want to tell you that I have no enmity with Lord Yuan, and the discord between the two of us is all because he is stirring up trouble, and secondly, my enemy is a foreign devil, and I am not interested in infighting, so I won't catch your master's fault to attack him, do you understand?" ”

Yuan Er nodded and asked, "Then you say, what conditions do you want us to promise you?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Allow me to take away the Chinese technical workers in the factory. ”

Yuan Er frowned and asked, "It's that simple?" ”

Lin Yuan replied firmly: "That's right, it's as simple as that. ”

Yuan Er said heartily: "Okay, I agreed!" ”

Lin Yuan took away the pistol pointed at Yuan Er and said with a smile: "If you did this earlier, wouldn't it be fine?" Okay, I'm going back, you can go to bed early tonight too. ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, and Yuan Er suddenly said, "Wait." ”

When Lin Yuan heard this, he thought in his heart: "What kind of trick is this Yuan Er going to play, watch me threaten him with my actions." So Lin Yuan turned around, raised his pistol, and asked while looking at the muzzle, "What's the matter with you?" It's like saying, "If you dare to play tricks, I'll shoot you!" ”

Yuan Er knew that Lin Yuan was threatening himself by playing with a pistol, he smiled and said: "Lord Lin doesn't know, I won't stop you if you want to take the technical workers away, but if the technical workers are not willing to go with you, we have no choice, so you have to do the work of recruiting workers yourself." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The salary I give is definitely higher than yours, and the conditions on my territory are better than yours, can you compete with me?" Lin Yuan smiled and said, "What you said is reasonable, I just agreed." ”

Yuan Er smiled and said, "Okay, please go slowly." ”

Lin Yuan came out of it and returned to the off-road vehicle, and the driver hurriedly asked, "Lin Shuai, what happened?" How did you stay in there for so long? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I saved a life, and I slept for a while, and I didn't sleep well, and I was woken up by someone, now let's go back, they have agreed to us recruiting workers." The driver also smiled, didn't ask much, and drove back to the post house next to him.

Early the next morning, Lin Yuan said to Wan Ling and the others: "I've arranged everything, let's go in today to recruit workers, and take out the banners and everything we prepared." ”

Wan Ling also said: "That's right, let's go as soon as possible, I investigated yesterday, their technical workers, senior workers only have five taels of silver a month, we give ten taels, which is twice as many as them, so they must have a lot of people coming, we mainly recruit skilled technical workers this time, so we should set the threshold higher, and go as soon as possible to review as soon as possible." ”

Lin Yuan then came to the shipyard with people and tables and banners, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the guard from yesterday, the swelling on his face had not disappeared, he greeted Lin Yuan warmly when he saw him, and he was busy with it, and soon Lin Yuan arranged everything, and the craftsmen saw Lin Yuan and their banners were all around, anyway, the warships they built were only painted out, so they were very idle.

Lin Yuan said to everyone: "Go to my shipyard, give ten taels of silver every month, and give a settlement fee of twenty taels after you go, everyone hurry up and sign up." ”

To Lin Yuan's surprise, none of the people below stepped forward, and none of them even came up to ask, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This is strange, our conditions are so generous, why don't they come?" ”
