Lin Jian woke up and learned that Su Mei was a guest in the grass hall last night and didn't leave until dawn, and he vaguely remembered the figure that swayed in front of him when he slept, his legs were forked, and he sat on the soft couch, and asked Xiaoman: "Have I lost my temper?" ”

"Your leg injury is not healed, so you should not drink alcohol. It's hard to say that it's warm, but today I heard the people in Ge's house say that you drank happily last night, and came back drunk and drunk, and you were embarrassed to ask if you had a gaffe? Xiao Man crossed his waist and complained.

Lin Jian snorted, perfunctory, and asked Xiaoman to bring him the official document on the table.

When he was not at the estuary, many things in Jiyun Society, Hekou and Prison Island were all in charge of Changsun Geng, Yang Shi, Cao Ziang, Lin Jingzhong, Ge Cunxin, Zhao Hu, Lin Mengde and others, and all things were only circulated to him as briefings.

Lin Jian woke up late, and only took a boat to Prison Island after lunch, he dragged his injured leg, and it was inconvenient for him to go into the cell to make rounds, but he summoned the eldest Sun Geng, Yang Shi, Zhu Ban Leader, and the cell leaders selected from the prisoners to the front hall in batches to inquire about the prison affairs and understand the situation.

Since Liu An'er gathered a crowd to rebel in Hongzepu, most of the local criminals for minor and serious crimes in Zhufu County were sentenced to serve in the town and government army, but the homeless people had no roots, and they often fled with soldiers and armor in the army, which was disliked by the army, and most of them were sent to Prison Island to be imprisoned or sentenced to exile and border soldiers, and the number of prisoners in prison Island has increased to more than 1,400.

Changsun Geng is a capable person, and he can do different things for officials, but he is limited to Xiucai's background, and no one has promoted him, he is in his thirties, and he is only a small official, and he has not even been a petty official from Jiupin, Lin Jian left the estuary and entrusted him to manage the affairs of the prison island prison, and he did it in an orderly manner.

Lin Jian divided the affairs of the prison island into internal and external, and the personnel management of the prisoners and prisoners within the high walls, including prisoners' food, prison clothes, food and silver, and the personnel management of the officials and prisoners were mainly responsible for the eldest grandson Geng; In addition, Lin Jingzhong was in charge of many other affairs of the prison island, including the purchase of a large number of labor tools and raw materials, the export of the materials produced by the prison island, and the management of boats and boatmen, sailors and other personnel recruited to work on the prison island.

Now that Gu Wuchen wants to transfer Yang Shi away, Yang Pu first greeted him in advance, and yesterday he mentioned that he would recommend Zhao Huyun to be awarded the rank of lieutenant.

At that time, in addition to the imperial examination and the background of the door, the "official promotion" by the head of the ministry temple and county was also an important way.

It is easy to be an official in the world, but it is difficult to be an official, and the original intention of "official promotion" is to absorb some capable and talented officials to become officials, and now it is also an important means for the chief to win over his confidants and cronies.

"Officials" for three years, the number of places is limited, Gu Wuchen recommended Zhao Huyun to be the deputy lieutenant, although it is from the martial arts rank of the nine grades, but for many ordinary people, it is a great way to cross the people and officials, and it also paves the way for Zhao Hu to fully master the prison island warriors after Yang Shi leaves.

This can also be regarded as Gu Wuchen's compensation for not letting Lin Jian interfere in Dongyang Xiangyong's affairs.

Lin Jian didn't care about these compensations, not to mention that his eyes were no longer limited to Prison Island at this time, but mainly on Xisha Island.

At this time, he still has to live under the big tree of Gu Wuchen, so naturally he still has to be "loyal" and dedicated to Gu Wuchen, so as to make Gu Wuchen's foundation in Jiangdong more stable, otherwise where is he qualified to control Xisha Island without being afraid of the local forces in Chongzhou?

The old engineer Ge Fu built a chair car for Lin Tie, who was injured in his leg and inconvenient to walk, and the shape was similar to the wheelchair of later generations, but there was no light material, and it was much heavier than the wheelchair of later generations, but it was made of good nan wood, finely carved, and the surface was carefully polished, and it took several days of work, and it looked exquisite and elegant.

At dusk, the chair car stopped at the southwest end of Prison Island, and Lin Jian sat on the chair car, covered his injured leg with a blanket, and brought Yang Shi to talk alone.

"There is nothing to hand over here on Prison Island, the situation in Dongyang is also urgent, after going to Dongyang, you will have less time to return to Jiangning, this matter, you will go back to the city in the past two days to have a good reunion with your family for a few days, and when the paperwork comes, most of the adults will urge you to go to Dongyang." Lin Jian said, "The team of soldiers you brought on the island will also be taken away for you, and you will also have your own foundation after arriving in Dongyang, Lin Jiyuan and Chen Shouyan are all beneficial......

When they first met in Shiliang County, the young and vigorous Yang Shi also had a conflict with Lin Lian, and he was very unpleasant to him.

"I've taken care of you these days." Yang Shi exhaled lightly and said.

"What kind words are you saying," Lin Jian said with a smile, "It's only serious to go to Dongyang and don't embarrass the adults." ”

Yang Shi smiled, he was clumsy in expressing it, in his opinion, Lin Lian, regardless of his talent or the prestige he had accumulated during this time, was more suitable to go to the Dongyang Army, but these were all Gu Wuchen's arrangements, and he was inconvenient to say anything.

"These are some of the experiences I have been thinking about recently, which may be useful to you," Lin Jian took out a manuscript from his arms and handed it to Yang Shi, "The way of using soldiers, there are not too many tricks, let go of your identity to get along with the soldiers, and you have to spare the soldiers......"

Gu Wuchen wants to borrow Dongyang Xiangyong to help his official power, but Dongyang Xiangyong will not completely become Gu Wuchen's private soldier, and always represents the fundamental interests of Dongyang and the Lin people, that is to say, Gu Wuchen must first safeguard and guarantee the interests of Dongyang local forces, so that it is possible to pull Dongyang Xiangyong under his command; In this world, there is no absolute loyalty.

Although there are inconsistencies in their interests, fundamentally, there is no direct conflict between Lin Lian and the Lin clan and the local forces in Dongyang, and even more often they have to borrow from each other and rely on each other.

Leaving Gu Wuchen, Lin Jian lost the big tree that took advantage of the shade; If you lose the Lin clan, Lin Jian will lack the most fundamental support in the world.

Gu Yingsleeve is still the seventh lady of the Lin family, whether it is Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong, Zhao Hu, Zhao Qingshan and others, or more than half of the Wuwei in the Jiyun Society, or Zhang Yubo, Liu Xilin and others, they all have a close and inseparable connection with the local forces in Dongyang.

Even if Lin Jian can't directly intervene in the affairs of Dongyang Xiangyong, he never hopes that in the process of crusading against Liu An'er, Dongyang Xiangyong or Dongyang's local forces will be weakened or even consumed, and he hopes that Dongyang's local forces can expand and rise with the help of this battle.

Besides, Yang Pu, Yang Shi's father and son are much easier to get close to than Zhao Qinmin, Chen/Yuanliang, Gu Siyuan and others, if Yang Shi can really grow into a general who relies on Gu Wuchen and occupies an important position in the Gu system, it will also be beneficial to the future, Lin Lian will teach Yang Shi without too many reservations, but whether he can comprehend it and use it in military affairs still depends on Yang Shi's own understanding.

**********

Returning to the estuary from Prison Island, Lin Jian went to the cemetery to worship Lin Tingxun, and the Lin family built a nunnery for Lin Tingxun in the cemetery to stop the coffin, which was also convenient for the Lin family to come and worship.

Lin Jian sat on a chair cart and let people enter the nunnery, put incense in the mourning hall, and went to the courtyard to listen to the abbot of the nunnery recite a few scriptures. Strange to say, Lao Ni does not believe in Buddhism, but a stick of incense that is widely spread among the people of Jianghuai County. The form of worship is also quite simple, burn a stick of incense to pray, and the incense burns out to pray, hence the name of the religion.

Because of the simple form and easy acceptance by the common people, it was widely spread, but there was no strict organization within the church, and the imperial court and local government were able to tolerate the existence of a stick of incense.

A slight incense came from behind him, Lin Lian turned his head to look, bright and beautiful Gu Yingsleeve stood on the door, Yingying looked at it.

Lin Jian smiled slightly, if he wanted to see Gu Yingsleeve and speak without disturbing outsiders, it seemed that he was only in this nunnery.

When the old nun saw the Seventh Lady come in, she withdrew, and helped them close the door as she left.

Lin Jian was quite strange and asked, "Who is this old nun, who looks very familiar?" ”

"Have you forgotten the nunnery on Iron Curtain Mountain? She's Master Hui Miao in the temple on the mountain, and you haven't seen her in years, so it's no wonder you don't recognize her. I saw that she had nowhere else to go, so I asked her to come here, and no one else knew that she was my person. You don't believe it, the sixth and Zhao Qinmin met here at noon today. Gu Yingsleeve said.

"......" Lin Lian laughed, he knew that Gu Yingsleeve would not be too lonely in the estuary, Zhao Qinmin saw the sixth lady in private, most of them still wanted to divide the Lin family, Gu Wuchen had to rely on the Lin family for many things at this time, but he didn't want the Lin family to be too united, Zhao Qinmin didn't expect that the old nun in this nunnery was Gu Yingsleeve's eyeliner, and said with a smile, "As long as they can't make small moves behind their backs, let them go, after all, everyone is a grasshopper tied to a rope at this time, and no one can do without whom?" ”

"What you said is light, I'm embarrassed," Gu Yingsleeve said, "I regret that I didn't have the patience to tell Xun Niang about that matter before, the day before yesterday, Xun Niang came to look for me, and changed her tone to probe me." ”

"......," Lin Jian said self-deprecatingly, "I can only be regarded as a good subordinate, but I am not a good son-in-law." ”

"If this matter is not resolved, won't it make Xunniang hate me?" Gu Yingsleeve said angrily.

"......" Lin Jian sighed lightly, many things can't take into account the private feelings of children, in fact, Gu Wuchen really wants to marry Gu Junxun to him, but it will make Lin Tingxun and Lin Xuwen in Yanjing suspicious, this matter is too delicate, and people have to be confused. is like a luxury home, on the surface, it seems to be monolithic, but there is still no opportunity for outsiders to borrow between luxury flying bears and luxury flying tigers?

Gu Yingsleeve didn't want to use this to block Lin Bin's heart, so she walked in, squatted in front of Lin Tie on her knees, and touched his injured leg with her hand, "Will it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt now, the long skin and flesh are still a little itchy, and I will be able to walk on the ground in a few days," Lin Jian took her warm hand and put it on her thigh, touched her tender cheeks, and said, "You have lost a lot of weight......

"I've been worried all day, and I'm relieved to see you come back." Gu Yingsleeve gently pressed her face on Lin Lian's thigh, enjoying the warmth of this moment of cheating. Lin Lian held Gu Ying's plump face, made her sit on her lap, looked at her beautiful and moving face closely, looked at her affectionate eyes, and kissed her red lips.

Gu Ying's sleeves followed Lin Bin's meaning, but he didn't dare to sit on his lap, for fear of pressing his injured leg, he just gave the kiss and was confused, and he couldn't wait to put his whole body in his arms, so he couldn't scruple too much, sat on his thigh, put his cheek on his chest, and snuggled and talked in the nunnery for nearly half an hour before leaving first.
