Chapter 31: The Banquet of the Sun Mansion

"Someone doesn't want to?" Wei Li was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said thoughtfully: "Master, what you said is-"

"Stop. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info just know, don't have to say it. Lin Sen stopped his apprentice's words, narrowed his eyes and said, "If he guessed correctly, he should have made some moves in the past two days." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud voice outside the inn shouting.

"Sect Master Lin, the villain Sun family servant, the master has set up a banquet for you at home to congratulate you on your victory!"

Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that I still think conservatively, but people are very anxious." ”

After that, he patted Wei Li's shoulder, motioned for his apprentice to wait at the inn, and then packed his clothes and went out alone to go to the banquet.

......

Sure enough, as the servant said, this goodbye Sun Ting was not in the study, nor in the living room, but in the main hall in the middle of the mansion.

At this time, night fell, and I saw the red candles burning in the main hall, and the lamp oil crackling, and the swaggering light of the main hall where the banquet was set was as bright as day.

"Sect Master Lin is here. Sun Ting didn't wait for Lin Sen to come closer, so he laughed and walked out of the main hall, and took the initiative to greet him: "Sect Master Lin, tonight I congratulate you on winning the battle and defeating a strong enemy. ”

"Lord Sun is polite. ”

Lin Sen smiled and bowed his hand, and said a few polite words to him with enthusiasm on his face, and then he sat down together.

I have to say that Sun Ting's 'ugly banquet' just now is really a kind word, this banquet at a glance knows that a lot of thought has been put into it, not only in the dishes of chicken, duck and fish, but also the taste is of the top level, not to mention the food in Baishui County, even the five-star hotel that crosses is not as good as it, and it is completely worthy of the praise of the delicacies.

Talking about things at the dinner table seemed to be a common truth in the world, and after a moment of opening the table, Sun Ting suddenly said, "Sect Master Lin, if the situation is like this now, I don't know what you are going to do?"

Lin Sen's heart jumped, and the secret play meat came, slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and asked quietly: "What does Master Sun mean when he says about the plan?"

Sun Ting looked at him and said with a smile: "Of course, it is your sect's plan." Now that the master of the Great Rimen Gate is dead, and the martial artists of Heyang Mansion are respected by the Lin Sect Master, the reputation of the Tongtian Sect will inevitably rise, and your sect will have a lot to do in the future. ”

Lin Sen smiled, looked down at the wine glass and said nothing, as if he hadn't heard these compliments.

Seeing this, Sun Ting's eyes deepened, the smile on his face became meaningful, and he said slowly: "Isn't it like Sect Master Lin to follow the example of the Great Rimen in the past, and also divide the Heyang Mansion region into the territory of your sect?"

Hearing this, Lin Sen finally raised his head, stared at Sun Ting's face for a moment, and unsurprisingly saw a trace of caution in the depths of his eyes, and suddenly sneered in his heart: You really can't hold it!

As a party to the matter of the Great Rimen's application for the territory of the sect, and a member of the witness from beginning to end, Lin Sen knew very well in his heart: In Heyang Mansion, it was none other than Sun Ting, who was the prefect of Heyang Mansion, who could not tolerate the appearance of the sect's territory!

This is a matter determined by Sun Ting's identity, as long as he is an official of the Dayong Dynasty for one day, it will never be possible to violate this iron rule! No matter how deep the personal friendship is, no matter how close the personal relationship is, it will be in vain!

So don't look at Lin Sen and Tongtian Sect's current situation, there is a tendency to replace the Great Rimen as the first sect in Heyang Mansion, but even so, the matter of the sect's territory is simply a flower in the water, don't even think about it!

Lin Sen was sure that even if he really brought up this matter and went into the procedure, then someone would inevitably come out and raise objections to this matter as a villager in Heyang - Lin Sen could find the loach in the first place, and Sun Ting would definitely be able to find someone else!

So even if Wei Li was so excited, Lin Sen only thought about it for a moment, and then he didn't care: because he knew that this thing was impossible to achieve!

However, although it is impossible to achieve the territory of the sect, this does not mean that you can't take advantage of this matter, Lin Sen thought about it and took the initiative to say: "I haven't considered the matter of the sect's territory for the time being, after the matter of the Great Rimen is resolved, I will return to Baishui County and repair the sect first." ”

When Sun Ting heard this, the trace of caution in his eyes finally disappeared, and turned into a touch of relaxation. Because although this is only said to be temporary, it is a good thing for him to show that he will not take the initiative to apply for the territory of the sect after all.

But at this time, Lin Sen suddenly waved his hand and said, "But Lord Sun, I'm afraid that although the plan is very good, it may not be able to be implemented." ”

Sun Ting was stunned: "What does Sect Master Lin mean by this?"

"Because reality doesn't allow it. Lin Sen smiled, his eyes became meaningful: "Lord Sun, the establishment time of our Tongtian Sect is too short, and we don't have much savings, even if we want to repair the sect, I'm afraid that we won't be able to do it!"

When Sun Ting heard this, his expression became gloomy, and he was silent without saying a word.

Lin Sen's mouth didn't stop, and he continued: "Lord Sun is a parent official, of course he knows that development requires a lot of money and materials, and my Tongtian Sect doesn't have these, so I can only find another way and use any policy that can be used to contribute to the construction of the sect." ”

When Sun Ting heard this, the corners of his mouth finally twitched, and he raised his hand and said: "I understand what Sect Master Lin means, in this way, from this year to three years later, all the taxes on the three hundred acres of land under Sect Master Lin's name will be exempted, and the government will not collect it." ”

In the system of the Dayong Dynasty, the farmland tax was 11 taxes, that is, no matter how much the field produced, it had to be paid to the imperial court for one-tenth.

When Lin Sen heard this promise, he blinked, the corners of his mouth raised, and continued to stare at Sun Ting as a listen.

Seeing this, Sun Ting's cheeks twitched with the corners of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice: "In order to reward Tongtian Sect's initiative to reclaim wasteland, Baishui County's taxes this year do not need to be handed over to the government office, and will be directly transferred to Tongtian Sect as a subsidy for clearing wasteland-Sect Master Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Sen finally showed a bright smile and arched his hand: "Lord Sun's love, I thank you on behalf of this sect." ”

When Sun Ting heard this, he squeezed out a smile on his face again.

This is the exchange of interests, Lin Sen said that he can not mention the matter of the sect's territory, but you have to compensate me, so Sun Ting can only find a way to make a concession and give him a satisfactory price in exchange.

This is a deal between the Sect Master of Tongtian Sect and the Governor of Heyang Mansion, it is very bold, but it is also very ordinary, anyway, both sides got what they wanted, so they were all happy, and they were able to continue to talk and continue the banquet.

This time, until the end of the banquet, Sun Ting didn't mention anything again, until the subordinates removed the banquet and served fragrant tea again, the prefect of Heyang seemed to suddenly remember something, clapped his hands and said: "Oh, I almost forgot, someone wants to meet with Sect Master Lin." ”

Lin Sen was wondering, but he saw Sun Ting give two orders, and a moment later, a servant led a young man to appear in front of him.

When Lin Sen saw it, he was stunned: Zhou Yue, why is this guy here? )
