"What do you have to stand up and speak." Lin Jian was secretly vigilant, and asked the five people who had intercepted them in front of the post house to stand up and speak, and the guards in front of the post house looked over for a moment, but did not come over to check after all.

"Thanks... The copper coin rewarded by the master, small... The villain bought a pound of rice and came back, and my mother asked me to come over and kowtow to the master again! The young man with a yellow face and thin muscles stammered in front of strangers, knelt down and kowtowed three times before he got up and said, "Little... People really have the strength to work, I don't want so much money, I and my sister work for the master, as long as one person's salary is completed, there is no money to get a reward to eat, so I beg the master to accept us, and if there is no food to eat, my mother and my sister will starve to death......" The young man said this, and wiped his tears with his dirty and torn sleeves. The little girl looked thirteen or fourteen years old, her eyebrows were delicate, but she was too thin, and her little face looked a little scary, she was even less timid, grabbed the young man, stared at Lin Lian, didn't even dare to say a word, and covered her eyes with tears.

Listening to the tone of the young man's words, they also went to the tea shop to apply, but they were screened out, and then they came to beg to be taken in, there are almost thousands of people who have passed by today, and no matter how good Lin Lian's memory is, he can't remember all the thousands of people.

"My lord, you can do it, take us in, the bitter man has been lying in the shed for several days, and he has no strength at all, otherwise he will crawl over and kowtow to the lord...... "At this time, only one of the three sturdy men stood up and answered to Lin Lian, "If the uncle takes us in, please also bring the bitter man, he has little strength, what kind of work, let's help do more, there is no more food to eat, and their family of three will really starve to death on the side of the road." ”

Lin Jian had no impression of the young man, but he didn't seem to be faking, but these three men had never seen them in the tea shop. The homeless people came all the way to beg for a living, and they were very bitter, even the individuals who came in from Cao Ziang's fortress were all cold. In the cold weather, walking down thousands of miles, sleeping in the open air, even if it is a mule, it will lose dozens of pounds of fat, let alone people? These three sturdy men, even though they were wearing shabby clothes, were full of energy under the lamp.

Lin Jian thought to himself, who is going to drive a secret stake to his side? Thinking about it, Luxury Feihu will not willingly give up the land by the river, these three people are the dark stakes sent by Qingfengxing?

Lin Jian looked at the Moling County Hufang Chen Shuban in embarrassment and said, "The number of applicants is full......

Chen Shuban only liked it when Lin Jian saw the three strong men in front of him, Jiyun Society can recruit forty armed guards with swords and guards for the caravan and shop to prevent thieves and thieves, and even carry ten bows, so strong and strong men are exactly the objects that Jiyun Society wants to recruit, he said with a smile: "It's not a humble nonsense, there are really few people in the world who are law-abiding like Lord Lin." Lord Xu Lin in the county recruited 100 people, and Lord Lin recruited a few more people, so can we still go to the street and shout? At most, two more words will be added. ”

"Hahaha...... Lin Lian laughed loudly, took out a name card from his body, handed it to the man at the head, and said, "You take my name card tomorrow and go directly to the tea shop to stay on the boat," and took out dozens of coppers from his body and gave them to the young man, "You take it to see if you can find Lang Zhong to treat your mother at night and buy some delicious food." ”

The five of them knelt down together and thanked them again and left, Lin Jian and Zhou Pu invited Chen Shuban and the two officials to eat in the post house, and Chen Shuban and the two Moling County officials did not notice that Wu Qi, who had been following them, did not enter the post house with them.

Lin Jian sent Chen Shuban and the three of them to have a meal in the post house, he did not stay overnight, but crossed the river with Zhou Pu overnight, and even went to the tea shop to talk to Lin Jingzhong, and did not tell Lin Jingzhong about the secret pile, for fear that his inexperience would reveal his traces, the four guards left him to call first, and the guards did not dare to have any objections. It is not uncommon for officials to send their soldiers to do chores, which is also one of the reasons for the weak combat strength of the town army and the local army at that time.

Lin Jian doesn't have so much time to delay, tomorrow Lin Jingzhong will take these recruited people across the river, stay in Moling County for a day or two, and then arrange directly to the Jinchuan estuary, now the Jinchuan estuary has not even set up a thatched shed. Although there is Lin Mengde to help on the south bank, and there is a rich Xiaowu to follow, there are many messy things and more manpower is needed. Cao Ziang and the others had to follow Lin Jingzhong and them across the river, and they couldn't help them in the past two days; Besides, Fei Hu and Du Rong will definitely not honestly let go of that section of the riverbank. People on the south coast, if anything happens to Prison Island, it will be a mile or two of waterway, and you can rush over to the emergency in the blink of an eye; If you stay on the north shore, there are forty or fifty miles of waterway, what happens on Prison Island, and if you rush over, the cucumber vegetables will be cold - now on Prison Island, neither Zhao Hu nor Changsun Geng nor Yang Shi can stand alone.

Lin Jian couldn't easily spend the night on the north shore at this time, even if it was too late, he still rushed back to the south bank to feel at ease.

Wu Qi arrived before the boat left the dock.

"There is no problem with the young man and the little girl, they are refugees from Zhongzhou, and the other three are dark stakes, they are running around with the young man and the little girl to cover up, and they can't find out which one it is for a while?" Wu Qi told Lin Lian the news he had inquired about when he left here, and took a meatloaf from Zhou Pu, regardless of whether it was cold or hard, and chewed it.

"What should I do, do you want them to mix in first, and don't startle the snake for the time being?" Zhou Pu asked. What they want to keep secret is the boat that will be arranged for Cao Ziang in the future, and that boat will not use unreliable outsiders, and there is no other place in Jiyun Society that has to strictly guard the place where others watch.

"How can we be so good to bully?" Lin Jian said with a smile, "There are so many empty cells on the prison island, and there are hundreds of shackles that are useless for a while, first take those three people across the river, and then whoever will ransom people in the future, and sell them for one hundred taels of silver per person." ”

Zhou Pu and Wu Qi smiled, didn't say anything, and let the boat drift to Prison Island, and the three of them slept in the cabin to recuperate.

************

Lin bound the ship and their boat to Prison Island, and it was already early the next morning.

Lin Mengde's action was very fast, from the mouth of the Jinchuan River into the Jiuwen Bridge and then southeast for twelve or thirteen miles, on the northwest bank of Longxing Lake, it is Quyang Town, one of the twenty-four towns outside Jiangning City. Soon after Lin Jian and the others returned to Prison Island, Lin Mengde escorted a ship full of supplies to the island, and Prison Island sent twenty prisoners to work all morning before unloading the full boat.

Even if the water level of Jinchuan Prison Island is calculated according to the water level during the autumn period, the whole island covers an area of more than 2,000 mu, and although the entire Jiangdao prison is built on the scale of a prison city, it only covers an area of more than 800 mu, and there are still 12,300 mu of vacant land outside the high wall. The northwest of the island is higher and has mixed forests, and when the prison was first built, it burned earth to make bricks and cut down trees to make beams on the island. Although the old kiln has collapsed now, most of it still exists, there are still three or four hundred acres of woods that can be cut down to make purlins, and there are also large bamboo forests, as long as there are tools, there are enough manpower on the island to make bricks, and bamboo and wood can be cut, which can not only be used by the prison island itself, but also can be used to build a warehouse at the mouth of the Jinchuan River.

It's hard at the beginning, but once you start, it's easy.

At first, Lin Jian selected ten prisoners to go to the north beach of the prison island to fish, but in the eyes of Changsun Geng and others, these had exceeded the rules. On the one hand, Lin Jian is the prison officer who holds the power alone, and on the other hand, Lin Jian ordered the military guards to strictly prevent the occurrence of prison escape, and it is difficult for others to say anything. After being able to catch three or four hundred catties of fatty river fish every day to subsidize the prison materials, the food of the officials and prisoners can be greatly improved and there will be no shortfall.

Speaking of which, there is still interest inducement behind this.

Lin Bin's next move was to open a vegetable garden and a livestock pen outside the high wall.

There is an open land outside the high wall of the island, and in addition, a large amount of rotten rice is mixed with the prison grain cooperated by the Xuanfu envoy, and it is strictly forbidden to mix the rotten rice with the prisoners for consumption, but these rotten rice and a large number of aquatic plants, snails, and miscellaneous fish from the river beach can be used to feed pigs, sheep and other livestock, and Lin Tie wants to try to solve the problem of the supply of vegetables and meat on the prison island before the summer comes.

These things have to be done by the prisoners in the prison, there is the previous fishing foundation, Lin Jian will build a vegetable garden, livestock pen to Changsun Geng about the matter, Changsun Geng does not feel particularly difficult to accept, the key is how to enslave the prisoners and prevent the prisoners from escaping.

More than 200 prisoners were imprisoned in the high walls, and 60 military guards and more than 20 servants were enough, and even if there were Jiang bandits crossing the border, the prison door would be closed here, and there was no fear that Jiang bandits would come to the island to attack the prison. However, the more than 200 prisoners were put out of the high walls to work, and the supervision of 60 military guards and more than 20 errand servants was not enough.

Whether it is from Changsun Geng's integrity, qualifications, knowledge, and prestige in the original team leader and errand service, Lin Jian must use him as his main assistant in governing Prison Island and managing prisoners, and even after he temporarily leaves Prison Island, he wants Changsun Geng to preside over the affairs of Prison Island.

After the prison was cleared, Lin Jian specially found time to explain in detail to Changsun Geng the idea of treating prisoners with prisoners and separating crimes.

Prisoners in prisons are graded and managed separately according to many factors, such as the crime of being imprisoned, the prisoner's sentence, family situation, and the length of the remaining sentence. Prisoners with a low risk of escaping from prison can be forced to work outside the high walls; Prisoners at high risk of escaping prison were given workshops built within the walls to work as laborers; Prisoners who are in serious danger are put under strict surveillance in the inner prison, and can even work in shackles.

Preventing prison escapes can be prevented by eliminating abuse, improving the living and sanitary conditions of prisoners, and appointing well-behaved misdemeanor prisoners to manage cells.

Of course, no matter how detailed things are, the escape of prisoners from prison still cannot be completely eliminated, but is there a big prison in the Dayue Dynasty that does not escape? Not to mention escaping from prison, the prison where prisoners die of inexplicable illness every three or five days is the normal prison of the Dayue Dynasty, and what Prison Island has to guard against is just a large-scale escape from prison.

Changsun Geng is also a learned person, even if Lin Bin's idea of governing prison is very different from the tradition, but after Lin Bin's detailed explanation, Changsun Geng can still accept some new things and new ideas. On the one hand, there are also benefits and benefits to guide, and on the other hand, the prison clearance has greatly touched him, even if Lin Jian is not on the prison island, Changsun Geng can still implement Lin Bin's prison management ideas very well.

In addition to these things, Lin Jian also asked Changsun Geng to pay attention to the selection of prisoners with skills, after all, Prison Island will have to do a lot of things in the future, whether it is fishing, planting vegetables, feeding livestock, spinning, weaving, making clothes, striking iron, sailing, and doing carpentry work, prisoners with skills can solve a lot of trouble for them.

There are not many prisoners in prison island, and the eldest grandson Geng first spent two days thoroughly sorting out all the prisoners, and also deliberately set up the position of prison chief among the prisoners, and used the ten prisoners originally selected by Lin Jian to serve as the prisoners, responsible for the daily management of the prison door and monitoring the movements of other prisoners, and even has the right to supervise the behavior of the prison guards in the prison cell, and severely suppress the cell bosses who have been in the prison cell for a long time.

In fact, after Lin Jian used the new rules to greatly improve the conditions of prisoners, most of these prisoners who came to prison because they couldn't pay the money for their crimes suddenly became much easier to manage.

Lin Mengde transported the materials and tools to the prison island, and the eldest grandson Geng took up the service to make the forty or fifty male prisoners with the lowest risk of escaping prison and all the female prisoners out of the high wall to cut down bamboo and wood, open up wasteland, build vegetable gardens, and livestock pens.

It wasn't until the fifth day that Lin Jingzhong brought nearly 400 people from the recruited homeless people to come over.

Although these people have settled in Moling County, Moling County has no room to distribute to them, and their livelihood has to be solved by Jiyun Society. I thought that it would be solved in two or three days, but after so many people dragged their families with their mouths, every family still had messy belongings, and a lot of troubles would arise. It dragged on for two days at Chaotianyi Ferry, and the talents gathered; After arriving in Moling County, he entered the Yellow Book, and caught up with a family member who failed to survive and died of illness in the county seat, and dragged on for another day in Moling County, and finally hired more than a dozen carts from Moling County to bring these more than 400 people to the mouth of the Jinchuan River. Lin Jingzhong, the family member of the homeless who died of illness, also bought a coffin and transported it to the Jinchuan estuary in an ox cart for burial, spending a lot of money, even if it was to buy people's hearts.

Lin Jingzhong and they rushed to the mouth of the Jinchuan River, and saw that they had built several simple thatched sheds in the dozen acres of land they had bought at the mouth of the Jinchuan River before, and a large stall of bricks, stones, bamboos and trees was neatly piled up in the open space behind the thatched shed.

"Hey, you're not slow!" Lin Jingzhong saw that the materials for building the house had been prepared, stopped Qian Xiaowu and asked, "What about Gongzi and Uncle Mengde?" ”

"It's all on the island, Lin Ye just sent a boatload of piglets to the island," Qian Xiaowu said, "Gongzi has instructed, you come over and let you take those few homeless people who have applied for his name to take a boat to the island......

"Uh......" Lin Jingzhong touched his head, thought for a while, and then thought that on the morning of the second day of the Chaotianyi Ferry, there were five people who came to apply for recruitment with Lin Tie's name post, and the Chen Shuban of Moling County also said that Lin Tie promised to take him in front of the Chaotian Post House, he didn't think much about it and brought it directly across the river, he was busy and dizzy, if it wasn't for Qian Xiaowu mentioning it, he forgot that there were these five people, he hurriedly ordered the four guards left by Lin Tie to call people over, he didn't understand that Lin Tie didn't let Cao Ziang and them meet by boat at this time, But he will take these five men to Prison Island.
