Chapter 10: The Soul of the Instrument
After returning home, all the major stewards in the Jingshi were waiting for Lin Fengjin here, although Lin Fengjin made them wait for half an hour, no one had any objections.
Therefore, after Lin Feng announced several major business decisions after his careful consideration------ although these decisions seemed a little unbelievable, these shopkeepers bowed down one by one without objection to implement them. Immediately afterwards, Lin Fengjin ordered a thorough investigation of the identity of this Zhang Lei, and naturally someone did it, Lin Fengjin believes that everyone has their own shortcomings, as long as they succeed in grasping it, then they can control him.
Next, the entire Lin family was like a huge machine, under the bite of each incomparably precise gear, it began to click and rumble, and under the instruction of Lin Fengjin, the first to be sold for cash was the several granges that the foresters had worked tirelessly outside Yedu in recent years.
At that time, people's hobby for the field can only be described as fanatical, with the influence of the Lin family in Yedu over the years, financial resources, and the shrewdness of the foresters, only to buy five middle and low-class granges near Yedu, you can know how popular this thing is.
Because at this time, as long as God does not deliberately make trouble, a grange is like a cash cow, and it can have an annual output of several hundred taels of silver, and such a fixed flow of water is a good thing for both the big family and the small family.
However, Lin Fengjin, who has advanced thinking, understands that since the roots of the family are in commerce and handicrafts, then the things related to this series cannot be moved, so when Lin Fengjin plans to cut some industries, what can be moved can only be things that have nothing to do with it.
Originally, Lin Fengjin still planned to explain the powerful relationship with the old man, and it could even be said that he was ready to be scolded by the thunderous forester, but what surprised Lin Fengjin was. His old man was rarely not angry, but sat next to him and sulked for a long time before saying:
"Since you want to sell, sell it, don't sell it at a loss. ”
Faced with such an answer, Lin Fengjin was taken aback, and after being stunned for a long time, he suddenly said:
"Are you my father?"
The forester's eyes bulged out all of a sudden, and he picked up the teacup next to him and smashed it, although it was very crooked, but it also fully explained the resentment in his heart, and scolded bitterly by the way:
"Little bunny. If you don't fight for three days, you have to go to the house to uncover the tiles, don't you?
Lin Fengjin immediately and quickly escaped from the flower hall, and at this time, the forester snorted and said to himself:
Although the old man has not read any books, he also knows that in order for the tree to grow well, it is necessary to cut the side branches diligently, and it is not a good thing to have too many lines in the family, and it is okay to cut some of them, in short, you can't do loss-making transactions. ”
Next, with a series of actions by the Lin family, the silver was spent. Then it turned into a large number of city-guarding equipment and flowed to Wu Zuocheng, this matter even attracted Lu Yu's attention, and Lin Fengjin directly made an excerpt, saying that he was in a stronghold on the grassland to trade furs. Something is likely to happen, so procure some defensive ordnance.
After getting Lin Fengjin's explanation. It was confirmed by many parties that this batch of ordnance was indeed flowing to Wu Zuocheng and could only be used for defense. After it was difficult to use it for siege, Lu Yu nodded--he actually knew very well that the general was a prisoner after selling such a large amount of ordnance. In addition to being handed over to the state treasury, the money obtained could also be used for the development of newer and stronger armaments, which was very beneficial to his rule, and at the same time, he also wanted to see the Lin family's private wealth consumed in the endless battles on the grasslands.
In this case, the fortifications of Wu Zuocheng began to be further improved, and at the same time, several old ships full of rocks were arranged around the harbor, and these ships would quickly enter the water and sink as soon as they pulled off the plug in the bilge, and then blocked the channel, causing the other side the biggest trouble for the landing.
Under Lin Fengjin's order, Wu Zuocheng also began to hoard goods, and the intuitive reaction was very simple, that is, the shortage of goods suddenly made the market that had been opened up extremely hungry. Although the market occupied by Lin Fengjin at this time was not a market for necessities (such as oil, salt, grain), and therefore may lead to a certain shrinkage of the market, it is already true that a series of related prices began to rise.
To tell the truth, Lin Fengjin's bookkeepers have already issued a warning, and it is through the mouth of the forest outside, that is, the series of measures taken by Lin Fengjin at this time will cause direct losses of a terrifying 3.44 million taels of silver, and the indirect losses caused will be even more alarming, which will cause the loss of forty percent of the customers that have been worked hard to develop, and the trading volume will shrink to two and a half years ago, so the expected cumulative loss will exceed 20 million taels!
This amount was indeed a surprise to the forester, but when Lin Fengjin asked the forester how much Wu Zuocheng was worth, the forester immediately frowned.
Because he has also been to Wu Zuocheng several times, and to be honest, that place can't be measured by money at all! Because there are some things that money can't buy at all, such as the tens of thousands of strong people who control the strings in Sanli at this time, such as the land within hundreds of miles around Wu Zuocheng, which is a wealth that cannot be measured by money!
Even after learning about the status and influence of the Lin family in Wu Zuocheng, the four ghostly words "Wang Ba Jiye" even appeared in Lin Yuanwai's mind.
Therefore, when Lin Fengjin suddenly mentioned Wu Zuocheng, the forest staff suddenly became nervous, and they simply scolded that money is something outside the body, and Wu Zuocheng is the foundation and life that can make the Lin family prosperous! Therefore, under the simultaneous decision of the two generations of men of the Lin family, the Lin family even began to transfer the equity of some shops in Yedu.
Time began to pass quickly, but Lin Fengjin never waited for the news of a possible war in the East, but at this time, he believed that the master of the academy would not deceive people, and Zhu Xi would not deceive people with his lifelong reputation, therefore, Lin Fengjin even wished that the other party would come late, because with the support of the Lin family, Wu Zuocheng every extra day. Defense will also increase by one point.
In the midst of such a wait, what Lin Fengjin had been waiting for for a long time finally happened,
The soul of the green plum smell woke up,
Shi Nu and Shui E have confirmed that the reason why this instrument soul did not communicate with the outside world before was very simple, not because it refused to communicate with the outside world, but because its crazy self-explosion after entering the Qingmei Sniffing Body had caused it to run out of oil.
If it weren't for Lin Fengjin's timely replenishment and recuperation of it, I believe that this instrument soul would have been annihilated in this world.
When Lin Fengjin saw the Qingmei olfactory soul again at this time, it had already turned into a faint white light, and it had completely lost that kind of mania. The feeling of rage, as if the resentment had completely disappeared from his body, and the feeling that this soul gave to Lin Fengjin was completely like a piece of burning ice, exuding wisps of cold air that penetrated into his bones.
Shui E appeared as a prototype, turned into that indescribably clear droplet, and then attached it to Lin Fengjin's fingertips,
Next, Lin Fengjin slowly poked out his fingertips. Let Shui E's body come into contact with the Qingmei olfactory soul hanging in the air, and suddenly, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but shudder, because at this moment. He could clearly feel that his thoughts should be connected with something extremely cold, and even his thoughts were stiffly silenced!
"I need your strength. Lin Fengjin said his purpose very straightforwardly: "So, I can find a way to reforge a new body for you, and it is definitely not a weapon that is inferior to you like Qingmei Sniff." It's about giving full play to your strength!"
After a long time, the reaction of the Qingmei olfactory soul was returned:
"I remember your breath, human. You were the one who saved me from the dark seal, and you helped me fulfill my wish to destroy my cursed body, but that doesn't mean I have to surrender to you!!"
A smile squeezed out of the corner of Lin Fengjin's mouth:
"Yes, if I can recreate a body of you, it's not just a casual thing, perhaps, I am the only one in the world who has the confidence to speak like this, because, very coincidentally, I obtained the powerful star iron that fell from the depths of the Nine Heavens several years ago, such a material, even among the forging materials of the artifact, is a luxury!
Lin Fengjin said as he kicked open a box next to him, and dozens of silver-white metal ingots rolled out of the box! What is this, this is the most expensive treasure that Lin Fengjin found in the tomb of Panwang Ganbo----- that piece of extraterrestrial meteorite that fell from the sky and trapped the giant dragon that Panwang Ganbo had turned into!!
In order to completely purify this piece of meteorite, Lin Feng spent millions of dollars, and he was tired of five blacksmiths alone.
And at this time, the fifty pieces of Extraterrestrial Meteorite Gold Ingot brought by Lin Fengjin were the biggest bargaining chips to convince Qingmei's olfactory soul!
Facing the extraterrestrial meteoric gold brought by Lin Fengjin, Qingmei's soul was obviously excited all of a sudden, and the spirit was connected with Lin Fengjin, and it obviously emitted a throbbing. After sending out a series of "I want to see" messages, Qingmei Sniff's soul suddenly severed its spiritual connection with Lin Fengjin, and then rushed into the stacked extraterrestrial meteorite gold ingots.
The tea kung fu passed, and Lin Feng waited with a smile.
An hour passed, and Lin Fengjin continued to be patient, but the smile on his face stiffened a little.
An hour passed, and Lin Fengjin began to fidget, frowning,
Okay, then Lin Fengjin took a book and began to sit here and watch it slowly, until the drowsiness hit, and the soul of Qingmei still had no sign of coming out.
Lin Fengjin could only smile bitterly and tell himself that this is a good thing, just like if you are not interested in the girl, will you spend a lot of time with her on the road, go to the library, eat, and watch movies? Although Lin Fengjin guessed that this Qingmei Sniffing Soul might be quite picky and spend a long time in this Heavenly Meteorite Gold Ingot for a long time, he didn't expect that the span of this time would exceed three days, and it seemed that it would continue to be extended.
But it's normal to think about it. Artifact, not to mention the Qingmei olfactory soul, which was once difficult to turn into water, must have extremely high requirements for the future body.
Lin Fengjin also has a unique advantage here, that is, he can communicate directly with the soul of this green plum smell through the body of Guò Shui'e, in this way, it is a hundred times better than relying on the experience of the forging master to choose materials and judge the direction of forging.
The normal birth process of a divine weapon is to first forge the main body of the artifact, and then the characteristics of the main body of the artifact determine what the soul of the artifact will look like. The process seems simple. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the process of beasts and birds slowly turning into monsters.
For example, the most typical ones are the two trump cards in Lin Fengjin's evil tower at this time: the big root of the three-tumor demon tree and the thick leaf of the giant wood Xiao.
When these two guys were hundreds of years ago, one was an ordinary tree species ghost locust tree living in the Shura realm, and the other was a camphor tree that grew in the deep mountains.
At this time, for the situation of Qingmei's olfactory soul, it is somewhat similar to the taste of "borrowing the corpse to return the soul". It should be regarded as going backwards, but the point is that this "corpse" is not something that other souls don't want, and it is flawed and damaged. It is the soul itself that selects, manufactures, and tailors a new body, which can be said to be perfect!
So it is conceivable. Lin Fengjin attaches great importance to this matter, and for this reason, he specially left Shui'e, who can communicate with the soul of the Qingmei olfactory organ, to wait in this secret room. I was busy with other things, and I also instructed my subordinates, once there is any news, then I must inform myself as soon as possible, and at this time, I can create the feeling of a divine soldier with my own hands, which is also extremely exciting.
At this time, it has gradually entered the midwinter time, and every household has begun to prepare for the New Year's Festival, at this time, Zuo Ya and Fu Min'er also took the time to come to see Lin Fengjin several times, Zuo Ya has a marriage contract, and Master Zuo also relies on this son-in-law in the officialdom, so it is more justifiable.
Fu Min'er was too strictly controlled, and she was naturally very dissatisfied in private, and when she saw Lin Fengjin, she pouted and wanted to cry, and Lin Fengjin could only comfort her gently. Fortunately, at this time, Fu Min'er also has her own career, so although she still has some complaints about Lin Fengjin, she also has her own opinions, and this time they met, they asked Lin Fengjin to elope with him, and when he had a doll, he would come back, and then make raw rice and mature rice, and then make Lin Fengjin have a headache.
There is news of chaos in the East China Sea, Lin Fengjin naturally will not hide it from Li Hu's side, both sides are also proud and lose at this time, Li Hu also attaches great importance to this matter at this time, and specially sent an envoy to discuss this matter a year ago.
Li Hu's envoy is called "Chongguang", it is a person recruited two years ago, this person Li Hu has already mentioned, saying that he is only eight years old, when he took refuge in himself, he started from the most basic level of scribes, but if he was in the bag, it can be said to stand out in an instant, at this time, this Mr. Chongguang has been faintly regarded by Li Hu as Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Chen Ping and other general figures, and can be regarded as the mastermind.
After meeting with Lin Fengjin in secret, Chongguang asked some relevant questions, as well as the latest news of the movement, and finally told Lin Fengjin that according to their judgment, if there were any changes in the East China Sea, there should not be a full-scale invasion now.
The most accurate, and the most conducive to their attack time, but will wait for the next spring when the flowers bloom, in this way, one can use the wind blowing in the beginning of spring, quickly cross the sea, as much as possible to reduce the days spent on the sea.
In this case, after landing, plus the adaptation period, it is just right to destroy the local spring cultivation when attacking and looting the city. There is a way that the plan of the year lies in the spring, which has the worst impact on people's livelihood and economy.
If the opponent wants to fight steadily, then the deadline for the attack can be selected at the time of planting, so that the winter wheat can be harvested, which is an excellent strategy for "taking food from the enemy".
Lin Fengjin listened to this heavy light analysis, and couldn't help but nod slightly, several countries in the East China Sea jointly invaded, after all, they had to face a huge problem, that is, the supply across the sea was not smooth, Lin Fengjin also considered that Dongxia, which was closest to the country of the rising sun, was likely to be the first to be attacked. The reason is that the attack on Eastern Xia has the shortest distance to transport grain from the sea.
However, at this time, it seems that the ambitions of the East China Sea countries are estimated to be much greater than imagined, and their attack can be said to be quite sudden, and in this era when the coastal landing raid has never been paid attention to, the East China Sea countries should have taken the suddenness of the first attack to the extreme.
In this case, they are likely to divide their forces, and at the same time in Eastern Xia, Northern Qi, and Southern Zheng. The coastline of the Zhongtang Dynasty is logged in, and then it is not for the purpose of conquering the city and conquering the land, but for the purpose of plundering and destroying! In this way, it will suddenly turn passive into active, and this way of "making a fortune and running" is like a hyena predator, not pursuing to kill the prey at one time, but tearing a large piece of fat flesh and blood from the prey with every bite, and making a comeback after digesting it itself.
That's the case. Because of this strategy, the other party is slowly strengthening, but the other party is rapidly weakened because of this strategy, and the blood loss is rapid, and then the following grams are reached. After cannibalization, whale swallowing is carried out to defeat the strong with the purpose of defeating the strong.
At the same time, with the support of this strategy, the tactics of dividing troops and plundering have been rolled out in an all-round way. It is also possible to collect a large amount of information more comprehensively, and the main force is less likely to suffer from the blow of destruction.
At this time, the five kingdoms were in dispute, except that there was no coastline in Xijon. The other four countries also have territories adjacent to the coast, of which the coastline of Dongxia and Nanzheng is the longest.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of these two countries, or the vast majority of the five countries, have not yet realized the importance of sea supremacy, let alone the huge threat brought by the other side coming from the sea and directly carrying out landing operations, or even going up the river and driving straight in!
The enemy can rely on the natural advantages of the waterway to exert amazing mobility, but also can rely on the various weapons carried by the ship, and the field encounter is like a siege war, and what is more terrible is that the city construction at this time is mostly based on the waterway and construction, so that whether it is to take water or carry the stone for the construction of the city, etc., as well as the future mutual transportation, can rely on the waterway and become faster.
Unfortunately, at this time, this also makes it more convenient for the coalition forces of several countries in the East China Sea to attack and disturb.
What's even worse is that even if Lin Fengjin repeatedly emphasized that Lu Yu felt that it was just a group of bandits at sea who wanted to rob, and even replied to Lin Fengjin's post with four words "scabies" to describe it, because the impression of Lu Yu or the kings of other countries, and the impression of several overseas countries, even stayed in the cognition of the David Dynasty.
At that time, when all nations came to court, the kings and envoys of several overseas countries were also among them, just like those barbarian kings who only owned an island and a small piece of land, and they were no different from those barbarian kings who only owned an island and a small piece of land, as if they were a group of dogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy, and they were even more humble.
Therefore, under such a preconceived impression, it is no wonder that even according to Lin Fengjin's favor in front of Lu Yu, it still can't change Lu Yu's subjective impression.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the coastal border of the Northern Qi Dynasty is not very long, and it is also quite barren and barren, if it were not for the fact that there are still a few large salt drying fields there that can be used as economic pillars, it is really unpopular. In Lu Yu's heart, the primary goal is, of course, to expand the territory and open up the territory, just pirates, which is something that the prefect can handle
However, Lu Yu overlooked a crucial matter, the David Dynasty was the most powerful empire at that time, and its deterrent power was comparable to that of the chaotic era when the five kingdoms were fighting each other? In the short time that the envoys came to the court, how could they tell who was the real pug who waged his tail and begged for mercy, and who was the wolf who hid his strength and teeth?
And the coalition forces of several countries that are about to attack the sea are not pirates, nor are they paper tigers, they are also armed to the teeth and disciplined regular army!
When Lin Fengjin found out that Lu Yu was unimpressed, he was anxious, and after talking to Lu Yu a few times, it didn't take long for the father-in-law to ask people to deliver the message, saying that someone had begun to spread rumors, saying that Lin Feng was pretending to be public and private, and that he had offended people who couldn't afford to do business on the grassland, so he wanted to muddy the waters, and then wanted to use the forces of the Northern Qi Dynasty to kill people with a knife
Lin Feng listened to it, what else could he do but smile bitterly?
Sometimes, observing words and emotions is a necessary characteristic in the officialdom, if someone wants to say bad things about Lin Fengjin in front of Lu Yu, it is definitely impossible to say it in front of Lin Fengjin, and he will not say it in front of Master Zuo, most of them are speaking in private.
So, how could Master Zuo know about the other party's informant? Of course, there was only one explanation, and that was that Lu Yu wanted him to know. So there you know.
Therefore, there are such rumors coming out, the rumors themselves are no longer important, the important thing is that Lu Yu is showing his attitude - Lin Fengjin, you see that you have provoked others to attack you, hurry up and shut up, I am not interested in this topic, as if I have never heard of this before.
Faced with such a situation, what else could Lin Fengjin do except sigh?
Next, the news from Nan Zheng's side was also not optimistic. Nanzheng's side has already presented the form of a north-south separation, in this case, if you want to convince King Fu or King Heng, suddenly there is a villain from the East China Sea, quickly transfer the army to the coast, don't fight any more infighting, I believe that no matter who says these words, they will be pulled out by the way with a very simple spit, and then chop off their heads!
However, Li Hu was on his own territory, which attracted the attention of many people around him, and immediately triggered a war of army expansion and rearmament in several surrounding counties, and Li Hu was in no mood to explain at this time. Because for these frightened birds, no matter what you say. The other party will think that it is a conspiracy, and it is really too much to say and wrong, so it is better to keep silent.
As for Dongxia's side, Lin Fengjin also fulfilled his greatest responsibility. Explain the matter to Cui Wangnu as it is, the best blow in the world is still the pillow wind, Cui Wangnu actually replied very simply, believing Lin Fengjin's judgment. However, she had nothing but to inform her cronies and friends. In addition to relatives, let them resell the properties by the sea, and at the same time withdraw the family's center of gravity as much as possible.
And then there was none
Lin Fengjin was very surprised and asked why, only then did he know that Cui Wangnu was not omnipotent in the country at this time, she was always the daughter of the first monarch, whether it was from the aspect of filial piety, or from the relationship between sisters and brothers, there was no intention to control the government all the time, and she was still slowly exercising the monarch of Dongxia, and then giving up all the power in her hands to the monarch at the right time.
When Cui Wangnu said this, she took her younger brother and swore in front of her parents' graves, and then the two sisters and brothers hugged their heads and cried and reached mutual understanding and trust. Therefore, although the relationship between the two is still very awkward and stiff, the relationship between the two can be regarded as breaking the ice.
And if Cui Wangnu accepts Lin Fengjin's words, then it is bound to set off a turmoil in the entire Eastern Xiadang, first of all, the focus of the country's military allocation, that is, to withdraw the troops from the border passes at the junction with the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi, and then to place these soldiers who can fight well in the important towns near the coastline.
Just saying such a big move will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Eastern Xia monarch and sweep away some of the tacit understanding that the two had obtained with great difficulty.
Why do you say that? Because there is no way for Cui Wangnu to give any reasonable explanation for such a move!
Unless she tells the monarch of Eastern Xia, there will be a large number of threats from the East China Sea, and these threats are likely to be more deadly than those of Northern Qi and Xirong, because at least Eastern Xia has several dangerous passes to defend at the junction of states, and these bandits from the sea will appear in the undefended hinterland of Eastern Xia, doing whatever they want.
If Cui Wangnu said this, there would be no need for the Dongxia monarch to raise his own questions, and several ministers of the military department alone would jump out and ask, saying why they hadn't heard the slightest rumor? Dare to ask His Highness what is the source of the information? Can Cui Wangnu say that it is Lin Feng of the Donglin Academy of the Northern Qi Kingdom to tell me? By the way, Lin Fengjin is still the city lord of Wu Zuocheng?
If she really answered like this, then all the civil and military officials would immediately crook the building, suspecting that the fiasco under Wu Zuocheng a few years ago was caused by the daughter of Cui Wangnu! This is completely cocooning and self-restraint
In the face of the cruel reality, Lin Fengjin could only sigh, just do his own thing, now it seems that it is still a very difficult thing for him to help the world, so the goal of being alone in this troubled world should still be possible.
Of course, Lin Fengjin's only good news is that Chongguang's judgment of the time of the attack of the overseas coalition forces should be true, which can be said to be reasonable.
This means that Wu Zuocheng still has plenty of time to improve the city defense and many other things, and when the time comes, we must dare to let these incoming East China Sea coalition forces meet under Wu Zuocheng and break the blood!
However, looking at the far-reaching, the longer the delay before the attack of the coalition forces of several countries in the East China Sea, it means that the more fully prepared they are, and the greater the plan, which is like an arm clenched into a fist. The greater the recovery force and the longer the charge, the more fierce the punch will be!!
Because of this, Lin Fengjin also has to face a huge choice, that is, whether to go to Wu Zuocheng after the beginning of spring.
There is no doubt that if Lin Fengjin goes, if Wu Zuocheng originally had ten points of strength, he would be able to exert twelve points of combat power, and there is a way that a snake has no head and does not work, and the effect can be said to be extraordinarily obvious. In many key battles, even ten people may decide the victory or defeat when they are deadlocked, not to mention the extra two percent of their strength?
However, if Lin Fengjin goes, it can be expected that it will be a very difficult battle, and it is only a speculation that the coalition forces of several eastern countries will divide their troops! However, once the other party does not divide his troops and takes Wu Zuocheng as the main breakthrough, Lin Fengjin will really die in vain if he goes, and Wu Zuocheng will be built strongly. It is impossible to be the opponent of the multinational coalition, and the crowd tactics have also drowned you!
According to Lin Feng's cautious character, his first choice was most likely not to go. However, if you don't go. If Wu Zuocheng happens to be almost able to hold on, don't say that it is someone else, he will be annoyed for the rest of his life! And Wu Zuocheng's significance to Lin Fengjin does not need to be said, just look at the hard work and money he spent on it. You know why it's important.
And once Lin Fengjin didn't go, and Wu Zuocheng also guarded down, according to the customs on the Sanlibu grassland. Lin Fengjin did not come to live and die with them, and his reputation would definitely plummet.
Of course, there is another option: Lin Fengjin first went to Wu Zuocheng to wait and see, and if he found that the situation was wrong, he would flee immediately. In fact, this choice seems to be safe, but in fact, no one else is a fool, and running away from the battle is the most spurned behavior, which is equivalent to Lin Fengjian's self-destruction of his reputation, which is absolutely undesirable!
Therefore, between going and not going, there are great benefits, but also great hidden dangers and disadvantages, which makes people feel quite difficult to choose! Even a person like Lin Fengjin who is so decisive also feels very entangled.
No matter how the situation changes, the New Year is still coming as scheduled, peach charms, burning bamboo whips, temple fairs, Spring Festival couplets These things began to fill Lin Fengjin's life, and the forester has been tirelessly trying to change the Lin family from the nature of "businessmen" to the "gentlemen" Zhong Ding family, so the various etiquette and rituals of the New Year's Festival can be said to be extremely cumbersome, enough to make Lin Fengjin busy, and the most important thing is that the forester himself does not seem to understand the "gentleman" A series of rules for the holidays, so the whole family seems to be a mess.
Fortunately, at this time, according to the rules, the sister of the Zuo family, as the woman who was married, would come to the door to worship her father-in-law and send her own embroidery to her parents-in-law, and she naturally discovered the chaos in the Lin family. Sister Zuo immediately showed her potential qualities as a shrewd and capable hostess, and decisively took over the housework, only taking half a day to get everything in order, and even cleverly avoided the followers of the grandmother who came with her, and had a private meeting with Lin Fengjin for a while.
Zuo Ya is also a smart girl, and after chatting with Lin Fengjin for a few words, he found that he seemed to have something on his mind. Lin Fengjin didn't want to hide it from her, as far as the current atmosphere is concerned, even if Lin Fengjin is dead now, most of Zuo's sister will not remarry in this life, and if she wants to keep the festival for life, she can't believe it, and no one can trust it.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin told Zuo Yashi about his worries one by one, and Lin Fengjin was originally talking about this matter to Zuo Ya, and he didn't expect to get any answers or constructive suggestions, but after listening to Zuo Yashi for a while, he said to Lin Fengjin very firmly:
"Xianggong, I think you should go. ”
After hearing this, Lin Fengjin's heart moved, and he couldn't help but repeat:
"You think I should go?"
Zuo Ya nodded very dryly and said:
"If there is nothing wrong with the information you just told me, then I think that the division of troops by the other side is inevitable, because you seem to have overlooked one thing, that is, these people from the sea are not from one country, but from a coalition of many countries! ”
"Therefore, this multinational coalition should also be inseparable from each other, before there is enough external pressure. The alliance between them is actually very fragile, I believe they themselves are very clear about this, then, before the appearance of a threatening enemy, instead of getting together to produce internal friction and infighting, it is better to divide their respective spheres of influence and act separately, in this way, even if there is an uneven distribution of spoils after looting, it is also an internal contradiction. ”
"Therefore. Zuo Ya concluded: "Since the enemy will divide his troops to attack." According to your description, it is almost a sure thing to defend Wu Zuocheng, so why don't you go, as long as you succeed in blocking these robbers from the sea, when the entire Central Plains is full of thousands of horses and complaining about the sky, then your reputation will inevitably rise rapidly! Fame and fortune!"
Lin Fengjin listened to Zuo IELTS's analysis, and suddenly looked at Zuo IELTS blankly, as if he had only recognized the girl in front of him clearly on the first day. It wasn't until Zuo Ya was embarrassed that even his cheeks were flushed, and he whispered:
"What are you looking at? ”
"Hahahaha!" Lin Fengjin suddenly laughed cheerfully and said:
"I didn't expect you to have such eyesight, yes. You are not bad at all, the coalition forces of overseas countries are only asking for a huge momentum, which does not mean that they can really fight together. I'm in the game, too. I care too much about my own success or failure, so I can't see it. ”
Zuo Ya pursed his lips and smiled, and said shyly:
"Where is it as powerful as you say? It's just a little bit of a little girl's opinion. ”
Lin Fengjin suddenly smiled slyly at this time:
"Then I'll test you again, if you can answer correctly, I will be rewarded. ”
Zuo IELTS's eyes lit up and said:
"What reward?"
Lin Feng said respectfully:
"It's definitely not a reward inferior to the first floor in the world. ”
Left IELTS immediately corrected the color channel:
"Childe, please speak. ”
Lin Fengjin groaned:
"Although I am likely to be facing only the army of one of the eastern countries, it is inevitable that the opponent will be strong, so we are naturally on the weak side, what do you think our chances of victory are?"
Zuo Ya was stunned, she is not a lady who does not go out of the door, and she is even more familiar with historical records, Hanshu and other masterpieces in the academy, and she also has her own unique opinions, after thinking about it, she said:
"Obviously, the enemy's biggest weakness is the unstable supply and foundation of the enemy coming from the ocean-going floating boats, so they choose to come to the sea at this time of spring, so that the grass and young leaves everywhere can also provide an effective supplement to the feed for livestock and the like. Childe, you don't need to attack or anything at all, you just need to fight steadily and not be moved by the situation outside, then you will definitely be able to succeed. ”
Lin Fengjin listened to Zuo IELTS's words, and immediately smiled:
"That's right, it's not bad at all, I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, it turns out that there is a female Zhuge who is like a god by my side. ”
Zuo Ya was praised by her sweetheart like this, and her heart was naturally very sweet, but the girl's reserve still made her bite her lower lip and not speak, but she was still very proud in her eyes, and she twisted her body a little embarrassed and said:
"And what about the reward you said you gave me?"
At this time, the two of them were alone, and naturally there was no one who didn't have long eyes running in, Lin Fengjin coughed, called a subordinate to come in, and ordered, and it didn't take long for someone to come over with the account book.
Lin Fengjin handed over this account book to Zuo Ya, Zuo Yashi glanced at Lin Fengjin with some doubts, but his face became more and more solemn, because all the items recorded in this account book are amazing number of specialties, both from the grassland and from the Eastern Xia Kingdom!
"W-what's going on?"
Lin Fengjin said lightly:
"This time several countries in the East China Sea invaded, but no one in the whole country was willing to believe me, they were all talking about cool things, and in the end, it was my Lin family who faced it alone. In this case, my Lin family will contribute, and they will have to make up for some of these military expenses. ”
"Therefore, I began to slowly shrink the shipment volume from a month ago, and when the war was together, I completely stopped the shipment, so that the price of these specialties climbed to the highest point, and then slowly released the goods, to maximize the interests of my family, because there was a war in the East China Sea, and the trade route was cut off, so the scarcity was expensive, and no one could find the fault. ”
Zuo Ya held his cheeks with his hand, listened carefully to Lin Fengjin's words, and did not interject. Lin Fengjin continued:
"Originally, I wanted to leave this matter to the old man. But after all, his old man's courage is a little smaller, especially when it comes to the court and officials, so he has never been able to harden it, so now it seems that it is most reassuring for me to hand over this matter to you. According to my estimates, our family can make at least four times the profit from these hoarded goods, so that we can basically support the deficit in this war. ”
When Sister Zuo heard that Lin Fengjin had handed over such a heavy task to herself, her heart suddenly became excited. You must know that in such a transaction, it is estimated that the silver money flowing from her hand will definitely not be less than 10 million taels! This is a huge amount of income that can even be compared with the state treasury.
Lin Fengjin continued:
"In the end, I calculated, the layout of the first floor in the world still looks too small for you, since Fu Min'er can support the most expensive industry in the world, then you should be able to take care of similar industries properly. ”
Hearing Fu Min'er's three words, Sister Zuo was very unsettled all of a sudden, and snorted in a coquettish voice:
"Why don't I think the world's most expensive is difficult to take care of? The Lin family's big shopkeeper has been transferred to the past three times, so it can't be taken care of. It's better to find a piece of tofu and hit it headlong to death. Are you going to get me a similar business, and you're not afraid that I'll crush your sister's estate?"
Lin Fengjin laughed and said:
"An industry like the world's most expensive is still making money from rich and noble families in the final analysis, and its foundation and potential are actually quite limited. Do you know what the most lucrative business in the world is? not selling jewelry, jade, gold and silver? It's about making something inconspicuous. For example, salt merchants who sell salt, oil merchants who sell lamp oil, silk merchants, medicine merchants, and so on. The industry that can involve the indispensable necessities of thousands of households is the industry with the most potential and the most tenacious viability. ”
Zuo IELTS listened to Lin Fengjin say this. At first, I thought it was difficult to understand, but after thinking about it carefully, I really found that the most profitable business was really not selling jewelry and jade, gold and silver, so I couldn't help but say:
"Do you want me to be in the salt business?"
Lin Fengjin laughed and said:
"I'll talk about this later, I'll talk about it later, I only have a preliminary plan in my heart now, and it's not perfect yet. ”
Since he has made up his mind to go to Wu Zuocheng to sit in the town, many things Lin Fengjin has to think about in the long run, and arrange them separately, and all kinds of emergencies that have occurred after he leaves Yedu must also be prevented one by one, after getting these things right, Lin Fengjin thought about it carefully, and felt that the strength around him was still a little weaker.
Especially on this bloody battlefield with thousands of troops, once something worst happens, you have a fierce general like a wild boar who can take the lead in breaking out of the encirclement and killing yourself a way out, and it is necessary to have a strong man who is fierce enough to intercept the pursuers.
It would have been extremely difficult to find such a candidate for the posterity, but fortunately, after going to Xirong this time, there was a person who happened to meet such conditions!
This person is ferocious, crazy, and is naturally suitable for killing on the battlefield, and the bloody aura that rushes to the sky on the battlefield is his best tonic!
There is no doubt that the candidate chosen by Lin Feng is the blood general under Prince Wu Qian Zhen.
And it just so happened that Lin Fengjin also had what the blood general longed for, which was the "true steel" that could make the blood armor on his body perfect and evolve.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Fengjin simply took out the jade box left by the blood general for himself, put it on the lamp flame and slowly smoked it, evaporating the drop of blood inside, when this drop of blood evaporated, the jade box actually quickly dissolved and turned into curling smoke, which quickly twisted and formed in the air, and it was like a sketch that quickly outlined the appearance of the blood general in the air, which can be said to be vivid and lifelike.
In the air, the illusion of the blood general grinned and laughed:
"I knew you wouldn't be able to bear to come to me! Tell me, what's the matter?"
Lin Fengjin smiled slightly:
"One or two real steel, please do something, pay five dollars first, and then pay five dollars when you finish it, you know, I only have half a catty of real steel in my hand. ”
The attraction of the word "True Steel" to the Blood General was undoubtedly extremely powerful, so much so that even if what appeared in front of Lin Fengjin was an illusion, there was a greedy and crazy light in his eyes, but he immediately roared:
"Too little! Too little! And I don't even know what you want me to do. (To be continued......)
