Chapter 170: Strange Flowers of the Western Regions
"From the center of these places marked by the official, extend outward, dig deep underground ditches, and drain the rainwater out of Zhixingfang, which is for the sewer, and the problem of waterlogging can be easily solved, Wang Ben This matter will be handed over to you to handle, before the rainy season comes, it will be completed, if there is not enough manpower, go to Xiao Ding to mobilize from the Ministry of Industry."
Lin Hao did not speak, but took a brush and marked it on the planning map.
Yin Shan is also from a high background, so he can naturally understand Lin Hao, who seems to be marking a few points randomly, but in fact, it is the most waterlogged area in Zhixingfang, and even the houses are flooded.
From this, it can be seen that Lin Hao has real talent, not those stubborn children who rely on the shadow of their parents.
"From now on, build thatched houses in Zhixingfang, one every half a mile, and everyone needs to go to the thatched house to go to the toilet."
Smelling the disgusting smell in the air, Lin Hao frowned, if he wanted to change the atmosphere of this Zhixingfang, he must first start by rectifying bad hygiene habits.
"Lord Lin, I'm afraid this move is difficult to implement, you know, don't say that the people in this Zhixingfang are the entire imperial city, in addition to those dignitaries, there are a few ordinary people, who have the habit of going to the thatched house to go to the toilet, they are all looking for a hidden place, take off their pants and pull it."
Yin Shan said with a sad face.
Knowing the ruffian nature of these people in Zhixingfang, it is simply impractical to let them go to the thatched house to go to the toilet.
"If you want to change, it is not broken or standing, in the future, you will take the soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion to patrol the streets, and anyone who has open defecation will be punished with 20 rods and fined 10 coppers.
"In addition to the free hand, all other people who pollute the environment are dealt with in this way, such as dumping swill at will, spitting, etc., don't let go of one!"
When Lin Hao arrived in Taoyuan at the beginning of the year, he encountered these problems, and it was precisely because of strict implementation that Taoyuan had a new look.
"Second Highness."
Yin Shan's expression was as if he had eaten.
The mandatory regulations are already against human nature, and if you have to be punished with a rod and a fine, I am afraid that the entire Zhixingfang will riot.
"According to me, the punishment set by Brother Lin is too commonplace, three days after Yin Shan's notice is posted, if anyone dares to violate the law, you will sew him a skin swallow on the street, this palace wants to see, there are a few people who are not afraid of death!"
Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly, since he wants to manage Zhixingfang well, there is no room for a little sand in his eyes.
"When the street sews human skin swallows?"
Yin Shan's face was suddenly full of black lines, the fine was okay, how to do it like this, wouldn't it be to make people poke their backbones in the back.
"If he can't do it, Zhu Er will sew up his skin swallow."
Zhu Gaoxu naturally saw Yin Shan's strangeness.
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
Zhu Er doesn't care about these, His Royal Highness saved his life twice, don't say that he sewed this person's skin swallow, even if His Royal Highness asked him to sew the skin swallow by himself, he would definitely not hesitate at all.
"What is the main source of livelihood for the people in Zhixingfang?"
Lin Hao then asked.
"Half of them make a living from farming, thirty percent rely on doing odd jobs for others, and the remaining two percent are all hired by Shen Wan, a wealthy businessman in Yingtianfu."
Yin Shanqiang endured a chill in his back and said tremblingly.
"What is this Shen Wan doing, why haven't you heard of it before?"
Lin Hao subconsciously asked, being able to hire nearly twenty percent of the people in Zhixingfang is not a small amount of money just for wages, but Shangyifang does not have any information, and it is really strange to be in his own hands.
"It seems that he is a grain merchant who makes a profit by selling rice from the north to the south, but his family business is not huge."
Zhu Gaoxu still has a slight impression of this person, when the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce was first established, Yu Ke came to himself with a greeting post.
said that this person was a grain merchant in Yingtianfu, and he wanted to meet him and had a business to discuss, but in Zhu Gaoxu's opinion, these grain merchants were just taking advantage of the food shortage and strange goods to make huge profits.
"What do you want so many servants to do for a mere grain merchant?"
Lin Hao frowned slightly.
"Lord Lin, although this Shen Wan shows that he is a grain merchant on the surface, he actually relies on planting flowers to make a profit."
Yin Shan hurriedly explained.
"Grow flowers for profit?"
Lin Hao was even more confused, there were not a few people who became rich businessmen by planting flowers in later generations, but in this Ming Dynasty, where he couldn't even eat enough, how much silver could he earn by selling flowers.
"Look at the north of this Zhixingfang, this large piece of land has hundreds of private houses, all of which are the property of Master Shen's family."
"There are no people living in the house, but planting strange flowers from the Western Regions, those flowers are very delicate, and they need to be taken care of by special people on weekdays, and when they bloom, they are extremely charming, even the peony and rhododendron are not as good."
"By the way, the fragrance of the flower is also very strange, you can smell it from several alleys, and it is not necessarily the fragrance, anyway, it is a kind of feeling."
Yin Shan pointed to a large area on the planning map and spoke eloquently.
"Strange flowers from the Western Regions? Wang Ben, go and fetch one. ”
Lin Hao faintly felt that something was wrong, if it was really just an ordinary flower, why should it be planted in that uninhabited mansion.
What's more, what flowers are so delicate, but also need to be served, not to mention the cost, there is only one possibility, that is, the growth environment of this flower has extremely strict requirements.
Today's traffic is not as convenient as that of later generations, large-scale planting, and flowers can not be preserved for a long time, among which there must be demons.
"Lord Lin, in Shen Wan's house, there are hundreds of escorts, all patrolling with knives, ordinary people have to be beaten half to death even if they take a second look, Lord Wang goes alone, will it be dangerous?"
Yin Shan reminded with good intentions.
"In Ying Tianfu, there are no more than one palm of people who can keep him."
Lin Hao waved his hand.
Wang Ben's swordsmanship is absolutely good, and it seems that he has been defeated in the hands of Mao Xiang so far, and at the beginning, he was one person and one sword, picked up Mao Xiang's hundreds of secret guards, and cleaned up a few courtyards, but it was not a matter of hand.
"That's very good."
Yin Shan didn't want to say anything more.
……
"It stands to reason that Wang Ben should be back, it can't be an accident, right?"
The candle flame flickered, and the silence in the office could even be heard as a needle fell, and Zhu Gaoxu lit a cigarette one after another.
"It's okay, I guess I found something."
Lin Hao waved his hand.
Until the sky was slightly brighter, Wang Ben pushed open the door of the office, covered his abdomen and walked in, his face was pale, his lips did not have a trace of blood, and he fell to the ground.
"Wang Ben, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Hao hurriedly stepped forward and broke Wang Ben's hand, only to see that his abdomen was stained red with blood.
"It's a firearm, hurry up and enter the palace to find Chen Ruohan!"
Lin Hao was suddenly anxious.
Zhao Heng rode a fast horse and went straight to the Tai Hospital.
……
Not long after, Chen Ruohan carried the medicine box on his back, entered the office, and used medical scissors to cut Wang Ben's shirt.
The blood had congealed, and a hideous wound appeared on his lower abdomen.
Chen Ruohan took out a scalpel and ripped out an iron projectile along the wound.
The surgical needle pulls the suture and pierces the muscle layer of Wang Ben, and the sutures are quickly performed.
"His injury is not light, and he should have ridden a horse, the wound is constantly bleeding, if he does not transfuse blood in time, I am afraid that he will be worried about his life."
Chen Ruohan shook his head, according to the degree of Wang Ben's blood loss, he was injured for at least an hour, and it was a miracle that he was able to hold on until now.
"Pump mine!"
Zhu Gaoxu has also read Taoyuan medical books and knows the method of blood transfusion.
"Don't mess around here, you are blood type A, and Wang Ben is blood type B."
Chen Ruohan glanced at Zhu Gaoxu.
"If you want blood, you can use ours."
Yin Shan and Su Wuming said in unison, although they didn't know what the meaning of this move was, they always thought about what they could help.
"Enough, transfuse me, I'm blood type O."
Lin Hao rolled up his sleeves.
Chen Ruohan did not hesitate, and pierced the needle into Lin Hao's wrist, and the red blood was constantly drawn into the blood bag.
Immediately after that, an infusion set was used to connect the blood bag, and a drop of blood was injected into Wang Ben's body.
When Su Wuming and the others had seen such a scene, they were extremely shocked in their hearts, if they didn't know the identities of the two of them, and they heard that Chen Ruohan was the imperial doctor in the palace before, they really thought that this was some kind of evil art.
Lin Hao was also stunned, if Wang Ben really had an accident, he would be to blame for everything, if it weren't for his blind confidence, how would it be like this to let Zhao Heng take someone to go together.
"Lord Lin, I couldn't bring that flower back."
As time passed, Wang Ben's fingertips twitching slightly on the bed, and then he opened his eyes weakly.
"It's okay if people are fine, let's talk about what the hell is going on."
Lin Hao held Wang Ben's hand tightly, and the stone hanging in his heart was finally put down.
"It was a Westerner who wounded me with a firebolt."
Wang Ben said weakly.
"Westerners also dare to make a mistake in my Daming, Zhao Heng, you go and get three hundred brocade guards, let's serve it to him!"
Zhu Gaoxu shot the case, and he was furious.
"Don't startle the snake, if it's just simple flowers and plants, how can it be related to Westerners, and firearms have appeared."
"Zhao Heng, you go and start the investigation from Shen Wan's side first, the official doesn't believe it, he doesn't show his feet."
Lin Hao waved his hand.
"Lord Lin, Your Majesty has summoned you and His Royal Highness to enter the palace."
Zhao Si rushed to the Zhixingfang Mansion in a carriage, wiping his sweat and panting.
"Brother Wang, who injured you like this, our family will help you chop him up!"
Suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Ben lying on the bed, his withered old face suddenly collapsed, and his eyes were full of anger.
Wang Ben and him are brothers, and if he hurts him, he doesn't give himself face, and he can't get along with the entire East Factory!
"Let's go to the palace, and we'll discuss this matter later."
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly grabbed Zhao Si, Zhao Heng had already gone to investigate, if Zhao Si was so disturbed, wouldn't he have wasted his efforts.
"How can you let it be discussed later, Brother Wang, you tell our family that this evil breath must come out!"
Zhao Siyi broke Zhu Gaoxu away, over the years, almost everyone in the court has been flattering, but only because of his power, behind him is a dead eunuch, yin and yang, only Brother Wang really treats him as a sibling.
"Enough, today's hatred, this official will repay it a hundredfold, a thousand times!"
Lin Hao clenched his fists, if he talked about his friendship with Wang Ben, who could beat him, when he met, Wang Ben was only thirteen.
Over the years, Wang Ben has blocked countless open guns and hidden arrows for him.
The fire in Zhao Si's heart was suddenly extinguished, it was the first time he had known Lin Hao for so long, and it was the first time he had seen him so angry.
