Lin Qing was surprised and replied, "The prefect also thinks this place is the best?" ”

The prefect's face was flushed at this time, and he was already starting to drink up, and said half-truthfully. "As long as you two say it, I think it's good."

"Besides, many of the people who begged for a living on fishing boats or merchant ships, except for the wealthy merchants, were also low-class handymen, and they often only bought some food on the side of the road. If it had been built closer to the port, they might have been able to get in, but these people, in order to make a living, have always been reluctant to spend too much money on use. ”

"In addition, the running boat has always been dominated by men, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that women are not allowed to enter the sea."

"If this person who lives on the sea has a conscience, he must be thinking about his relatives at home, who stay at sea for more than half a year, or even longer, and can't help his family affairs at all."

"If you don't bring some good things to the ladies at home when you go back, I'm afraid it won't be good to enter the house!"

As soon as the prefect said this, he immediately burst into laughter, "Could it be that these handymen who run the sea are all afraid of their wives?" ”

The prefect smiled, "It's not fear, this is love, these people have been away from home for a long time, so they are naturally worried that their wives at home have two hearts." "Some people keep their money in their hands, but every time they go home, they give them enough silver taels for their family. It's just that how to please his wife has always been a trouble for these people! ”

"Now, with Bai Yutang, it must be easy to solve in the future."

These things are often understood only when you really understand these people who are begging for a living at sea, Xia Qingqing and Lin Qing glanced at each other, but they didn't expect to hit the right one.

After the prefect's explanation, they were even more convinced that the location they had chosen was very correct.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and when the prefect left, he staggered and was helped out by the two little guys beside him, and Lin Qing was even more drunk.

Xia Qingqing said worriedly, "Brother Lin Qing, it's better to drink a bowl and sober up tea!" ”

Lin Qing touched his aching forehead with some annoyance, "I didn't expect the local prefect to be so massive, and I couldn't resist it for a while." ”

"And this wine is really stamina, a little big!" Lin Qing shook his head and looked at the wine on the table again, "It's worthy of being made by people along the coast, it's just strong enough." ”

Xia Qingqing said helplessly, "You, let's rest quickly, we can start construction tomorrow, everything has to be treated carefully, this prefect seems to have said everything, but in fact, it is not leaky, and it must be very difficult." ”

Lin Qing also staggered a little when he stood up, then shook his head and said, "This prefect is originally the person elected from the largest wealthy merchant family in the local area. ”

"There are two ways to be an official in my country, the first is to participate in the imperial examination, and those who are promoted one level at a time, and the second is this kind of donation, only the wealthy families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can take out a large sum of money and donate an official."

In addition, he was honest and honest when he was an official, and there were no major disasters in the area. I have been doing it steadily, and after a long time, I was promoted to the prefect, and the role of silver is indispensable! ”

Xia Qingqing nodded, "Yes, I also understand that now I can only speak if I take out the silver, otherwise even if the two of us rush to the door, I guess he won't see him." ”

Lin Qing staggered out and said, "No, I'll hurry back to the room to rest, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll talk to you again." ”

"Lin Jin, quickly help your young master back to the room."

"Yes, County Lord."

Xiao Lu also said worriedly at this time, "County Lord, let's go back to the room and rest as soon as possible." ”

Xia Qingqing smiled mischievously at him, "You don't have to worry about me in this matter, Brother Lin Qing sent someone to replace all the wine in my pot with white water a few rounds ago, at this time, I am the only one who is the most sober in this game." ”

"Xiao Lu can't believe it, this young master Lin Qing is really a god, and he has thought about it for you in advance."

"Yes, Brother Lin Qing told me a long time ago that he wouldn't let me drink so much wine, worried that something would happen."

"Let's go, we have to go back first, and we're tidying up our things."

Xia Qingqing sat in the room, secretly thinking about the recent five-piece set of crab dismantling, as well as various jewelry bags. Today, I took out the raw pickles, which are not available in the Baiyutang in the capital.

She must hurry up and let people go back to pass these to the capital, and they must be promoted by the capital before they can be introduced to Xuzhou.

Thinking of this, she immediately got out of bed, walked quickly to the table and wrote.

Early the next morning. Xia Qingqing came and knocked on Lin Qing's brother's door.

"Brother Lin Qing, how are you?"

"I brought some white porridge, you eat some and then sleep, wake up with a hangover, you must have a headache, drink a bowl of sobering decoction medicine in a while!"

Xia Qingqing patted the door outside the room and said a half-loud speech, but no one in the room answered.

She thought to herself and was a little worried, and after thinking for a while, she decided to push the door to see, and with a "squeak", the door was opened. The doors and windows in the house were closed and a little dim, she slowly moved forward and shouted, "Brother Lin Qing, are you there?" ”

After taking a turn in the house, he found that there was indeed no one in the house, so he couldn't help but be surprised, and Xiaoqing next to him also asked suspiciously, "County Lord, what did Young Master Lin Qing do this early in the morning?" ”

As the two were talking, Lin Qing came back from outside, "Qingqing, how can you be in my room?" ”

"Brother Lin Qing, I was worried that you had a headache from drinking yesterday, so I came over early in the morning to bring you some food, but I didn't expect you to wake up earlier than me!"

Lin Qing said with a smile, "Why am I also a martial arts student?" I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, woke up early today, went out to practice boxing and kicking kung fu for a while, just when you came, then let's eat together! ”

"After eating, you can go over and have a look."

The two of them took a bite and rushed to the wharf, where construction had already begun to demolish the original houses, and then two shops of Baiyutang would be built on both sides of the street

"The prefect is also doing his best, and the people sent over have already started construction," Xia Qingqing said as he looked at the gang.

Lin Qing snorted coldly, "That's right, the sooner the construction starts, the sooner it is completed, and the sooner the cashier it is, he will definitely be happy to do this." ”

"Brother Lin Qing, what you said is too plain, how much is it subtle?"

"What is this, there is no need to hide it, all businessmen in the world are for profit."

Xia Qingqing chuckled, "This is somewhat inconsistent with the demeanor of your son-in-law." ”

Lin Qing smiled even more heartily, "How much is the son of the family worth, in my name, except for people in the government and the opposition, people in the rivers and lakes, they don't treat me as a person!" ”

"Brother Lin Qing, why bother to be arrogant? Your business territory has already spanned the north and south of the river, not to mention your dart game, even your medicinal herb stores are also all over the dynasty. ”

Lin Qing waved his hand and said indifferently, "You can easily do what I do, and even you can do it better and better than me." ”

"And what you are doing now, exactly what I didn't expect, I decided to do such things hand in hand with you, but also to see with my own eyes the way of the world that you told me, what it should be like?"

"Brother Lin Qing, you still said that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, let's slowly gain a firm foothold step by step, and we will soon be able to usher in the peaceful and prosperous era we want to see."

Lin Jin and Lin Yin came to the construction site early in the morning and began to help, the whole man was disgraced, or Lin Yin's sharp eyes saw the county lord and the young master, he stepped forward and slapped Lin Jin's waist, Lin Jin said impatiently, "What are you doing?" You're itchy again, be careful I pump you! ”

"Hurry up and move this timber over there, and clear this land."

Lin Yin deliberately didn't speak, and then scolded him, Lin Jin was a little angry, "What are you going to do?" ”

He turned his head suddenly, and happened to collide with Xia Qingqing and Lin Qing's gaze. The whole person was somewhat like a fried lion, and suddenly saw the master obediently withdraw his hands, he patted the ashes in his hands, stepped forward and said embarrassedly, "Young master, I didn't expect you two to come so early!" ”

Xia Qingqing joked to him, "If I hadn't come early, I wouldn't have seen the angry scene of our Lin Jinda shopkeeper!" ”

"Brother Lin Qing, you really don't know that he is as obedient as a little cat to me, and he has never seen anyone or anything that can make him angry, it seems that Lin Yin knows this very well!"

Lin Qing also laughed, "The four of them grew up together, and they had countless fights, and they could quarrel over trivial matters. ”

Lin Jin's face was flushed with the teasing of the two, and he glared at Lin Yin angrily, he really didn't expect to be so ugly in front of the county lord.

Angry, the whole person began to tremble, Xia Qingqing saw that he was about to make people anxious, and said in a round game, "You guys are busy first, busy first, I'll walk around with Brother Lin Qing." ”

Lin Qing wanted to open his mouth to say something more, but was dragged away by Xia Qingqing.

"What are you dragging me for? The two of them had a lot of fun. ”

Xia Qingqing said angrily, "Don't, this shop didn't work, my two big shopkeepers started fighting first, what does this look like?" ”

Lin Qing said with a smile, "It's okay, Lin Yin can't beat Lin Jin, Lin Jin's martial arts are higher, and he usually presses Lin Yin to fight, but Lin Yin's light skills are better, he runs fast, Lin Jin can't catch him." ”

Xia Qingqing was also speechless after hearing this.

The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, they had been in Xuzhou for a month, and today was the time to return to the capital.

"Qingqing, the letter I asked someone to pass to the old prince has passed, and the old prince wrote in his reply to me that he will send someone to pick you up on the outskirts of Beijing."

"I won't send you back to the capital this time, but I will send you on the ship, and when the ship docks, you will definitely see your fourth brother."

"Okay, then it's troublesome Brother Lin Qing, I still need you to help me keep an eye on it." The two stood on the pier and looked at the white jade hall under construction.
