After nightfall, Lin Mengde and Li Shuyi went over together to see the situation of Chen Lei taking over the county warehouse, afraid that he would not be able to cope with it when he first arrived, so they rushed to the west courtyard of Beishanmen, and saw that everything was still in order here, and they were quite satisfied, knowing that Chen Lei was a capable manpower.

Lin Mengde stood in the courtyard, looking at the wide walls of the county big warehouse house, and said with a smile to Li Shuyi: "I really want to thank the luxury family for investing a lot of resources in the Guangjiao Temple in the past few years, otherwise after the destruction of Chongzhou City, the county government will not even have a temporary office place, I don't know if the luxury family knows that the Guangjiao Temple has been taken away for us like this, will they be so angry that they vomit blood?" ”

In private, everyone is not shy about confusing Donghai Kou with luxury families.

"Lord Lin and Master Li come here, what do you have to order?" Chen Lei went to the courtyard to greet Lin Mengde and Li Shuyi. Lin Mengde has accumulated military merits, and now he is a loose rank of the eighth grade, Li Shuyi himself is a talent and a fame, and he has officially served as the household secretary before, and he can afford the title of "adult".

"Come and see how you take over?" Lin Mengde smiled, "Compared to the chaos elsewhere, this place is not bad. ”

"Chen Lei can't help but do his best to repay the cultivation and trust of all the adults." Chen Lei said.

Controlling the place is nothing more than starting from both people and things.

There are no manpower and no resources, no matter whether the people who serve as the county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant in Chongzhou in the future are Yue Lengqiu's confidants and cronies, they will not be able to escape the fate of being given to the air.

The county canura can be said to directly control the materials that the county can grasp and transfer, and the appointment of manpower is very crucial, and the final selection of Chen Lei is also a matter that has been considered for a long time before it is determined.

Lin Mengde smiled and said: "Don't say much politely, you have an order here, take you to Shannan ......"

Zilang Mountain is not high, but also steep, the east and north sides are connected to the land, the west and south sides face the river, there is a river wharf in the southwest corner, and there is a stone path around the mountain to pass through.

At present, except for the Beilu Mountain Gate and the Zen Monastery set aside as a temporary county office, the rest of Zilang Mountain is strictly controlled by the Jiangdong Left Army, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, especially the wharf in Shannan, which is the key point of Jiangdong Left Army control.

Chen Lei didn't ask much, went back to the house and gave an order, and followed Lin Mengde and Li Shuyi on the stone path, walked two or three miles, and then went around to the southern foot.

The lantern light is not far away, listening to the sound of Jiang Tao lapping the shore, in addition to the riverbank wharf, Chen Lei found that there is an independent small courtyard on the east side of the riverbank wharf guarded by heavy soldiers, Lin Mengde and Li Shuyi took him there, and when he got closer, he found that Lin Tie was also there.

I thought it was a plain small courtyard under the cliff, but when I walked into the yard, I found that there was a lot of articles inside. The main house in the courtyard is built directly close to the foot of the cliff, the door of the hall is open, there are many giant candles lit in the house, the light is bright, Chen Lei stands in the courtyard and looks at the house, the inside is so deep, you can't see it at a glance.

"This is the secret warehouse built by the luxury family at the foot of the mountain," Lin Jian saw Lin Mengde and Li Shuyi bring Chen Lei over and introduce to him what he saw, "The idea is also quite good, I heard in the early years that there is a snake fairy cave at the foot of the southern foot of Zilang Mountain, and I didn't find out where the hole is last night." It was still early in the morning that I found out that the monk Kou had transformed the Snake Immortal Cave into a secret warehouse, and built this small courtyard to ......cover the entrance of the cave," and said to Lin Mengde with emotion, "It's a master to plan for the luxury family behind the scenes, if we don't take the lead, if we give Donghai Kou a firm foothold on the islands of Changguo County and give play to the layout of this place, the consequences are really hard to imagine!" ”

"What's the use of their calculations?" Lin Mengde smiled, "Didn't you make us a wedding dress?" ”

Lin Jian also smiled slightly, and walked towards the secret warehouse together.

Chen Lei has not yet come into contact with the captured monks, and the monks and bandits have only been told by others verbally, and when he walks into the secret warehouse, he really feels what the evidence of the monks and bandits of Guangjiao Temple is conclusive.

The entire Snake Immortal Cave has been transformed into a secret warehouse, and the space inside is almost larger than the entire Beishanmen Zen Temple, deep into the belly of Zilang Mountain.

Although the materials stored in the secret warehouse are not much, and most of the places are empty, take Lin Mengde's statement, if the luxury family organizes a water camp of tens of thousands of people to attack Jiangning, the materials stored in the secret warehouse can be replenished once or twice halfway, and the materials such as rice grain, armor, and arrows can support the elite combat force of 2,000 people to hold Zilang Mountain for half a year.

Lin Jian looked up at the top of the Shensui Cave where the fire could not shine, and sighed slightly, looking at the layout of Zilang Mountain, at least the luxury family had the intention of attacking Jiangning, but it was a pity that he was not able to integrate a large-scale naval division with combat power in time on the islands of Changguo County.

I really can't imagine what kind of chaos the entire south and the entire Dayue Dynasty will fall into after Jiang Ning's attack on the East China Sea, Lin Jian thought about Du Rong or the woman on the top of the mountain, can he dig out more secrets?

"The materials of the temple warehouse seized last night have been transferred to the county warehouse for the temporary expenses of the county government," Lin Jian took the inventory brochure from the person in charge and said to Chen Lei, "This secret warehouse is also used as a secret warehouse for the time being, and we will not report to the local government, we will transfer the soldiers of the two teams to take turns to protect the warehouse, are you willing to take charge of this warehouse?" ”

"It's all up to your lordship...... said," Chen Lei said.

"Then I'll leave it to you here," Lin Jian said, "If there is an urgent shortage of materials in the county warehouse, you and Li Shuyi can transfer them from the right, but you need to inform Lin Mengde afterwards," it was clear that Lin Mengde was the person in charge of the logistics affairs of the Jiangdong Left Army, and said, "Urgently allocate the materials of the secret warehouse to borrow and record the accounts, and the county warehouse has a surplus, and it needs to be returned to the secret warehouse in time!" ”

"My subordinates understand." Chen Lei said.

Lin Jian stared at Chen Lei twice, and Chen Lei added: "What the adult means is the virtual county warehouse and the real secret warehouse. ”

Lin Jian nodded, Chen Lei really understood the person, so he handed over the inventory book of the secret warehouse materials to Chen Lei.

Chen Lei took the booklet, looked at it casually first, and thought to himself that it was really amazing.

There are as many as 10,000 stones of grain in this secret warehouse, cloth, salt and iron, armor, arrows, chariots, etc., and there are everything, perhaps the East China Sea Kou broke through Chongzhou City and looted it, and a considerable part of the materials were hidden here......

Chongzhou City was destroyed, and the previous county warehouse was also looted.

There may be a lot of relief money temporarily allocated from Hailing Mansion, but Wu Meijiu only allocated 10,000 taels to the jurisdiction of the county warehouse, and was responsible for the money and grain support of the 2,000 government army in Chongzhou, and Chen Lei took over the county warehouse, and there were less than 5,000 taels of silver left.

In addition, it is the materials stored in the Guangjiao Temple Warehouse, which took over the transfer of the Jiangdong Left Army today.

There are not many materials stored in the temple warehouse of Guangjiao Temple, if it were not for the discovery of the secret warehouse, with the materials stored in the temple warehouse, Guangjiao Temple really does not look like a stronghold built by Donghai Kou in Chongzhou. In addition to deducting 10,000 taels of silver, Lin Mengde transferred all the other materials in the temple warehouse to the county, and there were a lot of sundries used in the monastery such as monks' clothes, incense and candles, and there were only more than 30 horses of cloth and only more than 500 stones of rice grain, in addition to the vegetable garden of about 50 acres directly planted by the monks in the monastery.

These materials are far from enough to maintain the daily expenses of the county government, and if there is an emergency, it is simply not enough to deal with it.

Lin Tie made Chen Lei take charge of the secret warehouse, so that Li Shuyi and Chen Lei intended to urgently allocate the secret warehouse materials, that is, they agreed to use the materials accumulated in the secret warehouse as the reserve storage materials of Chongzhou County, but they would not directly assign the secret warehouse to the county, that is, to implement the policy of "virtual county warehouse, real secret warehouse".

In any case, as the official appointed by the nominal Yanshun Imperial Court, the magistrate and the county magistrate have the right to directly allocate the materials of the county warehouse. The virtual county warehouse and the real secret warehouse are to put the magistrate and other official seals into a situation where they have the right to allocate but have no materials to adjust, so as to achieve the purpose of overhead.

In front of Li Shuyi and Chen Lei, Lin Jian no longer concealed his intention to control Chongzhou, after all, if he wants to control Chongzhou, he must also implement it through Li Shuyi, Chen Lei and others.

Li Shuyi and Chen Lei didn't find it difficult to accept. It is the nature of civil ministers and military generals to fight for power, and the promotion and appointment of subordinates in the officialdom is false, and what is said to be loyal to the court and the emperor is false, to put it bluntly, it is the loyalty of the subordinates to the superiors, and the loyalty of the subordinates to the lord. It is the norm to appoint private individuals in the officialdom, and it is also the norm to call friends and form parties, but they don't think about anything farther, and they don't dare to think about anything further at this time.

Besides, Lin Jian completely took the seized materials for himself, and it was completely difficult for others to say anything.

**********

After seeing the secret warehouse, Lin Lian, Lin Mengde and Li Shuyi and Chen Lei went back to the northern foot together, it was rare to make up for the officials, and there were many things to be agreed urgently, so it would be no matter what day and night.

Cao Ziang, Hu Zhicheng, Wu Meijiu, and the newly appointed Liufang Shushu Office and other officials all gathered in the courtyard that temporarily served as the county government, waiting for Lin to come over; Li Shutang, Hu Zhiyong and others also gathered here as representatives of the township. The candles in the lobby were burning high, as bright as day, and when I heard that Lin Jian and others came into the courtyard, they went out together to greet them.

Regardless of whether Wu Mei Jiucheng admits it or not, Lin Jian has actually mastered the military and political power on the ground in Chongzhou. He didn't want to fight with Lin Tie for anything anyway, he was a temporary magistrate, and he was full of food to offend such a powerful figure as Lin Tie.

"There's no need to be so polite, just because I'm an idle person who came to observe, etc., what the county needs, the Jiangdong Left Army will do its best to support, I'm just afraid that everyone is new together, and someone is not familiar with me, so I came to show my face." Lin Jian smiled and spoke, and walked into the lobby with everyone to discuss the matter, and he also excused himself to let Wu Mei sit on the main seat for a long time to preside over the discussion.

Although Lin Lian's position is higher and more powerful, after all, the county should be dominated by Wu Meijiu, and he doesn't have the energy to meddle in everything and ask about everything. Whether internally or externally, at present, a decentralized pattern has been temporarily formed in which Cao Ziang grasps the military, and Lin Mengde grasps logistics to share heavy affairs for Lin Bin; To control Chongzhou, Hu Zhicheng is also responsible for Cao Ziang, Li Shuyi is responsible for Lin Mengde, and Lin Jian only controls the overall situation.
