Chapter 53: The Beginning of Sharpness
Luxury Feihu, Song Jia, Du Rong and the guards went up to Jiangya, Luxury Feihu frowned slightly, he originally wanted to build a wharf and warehouse here in the name of Qingfengxing without alarming anyone, where did he think that there was a forest bound with them, it was really tricky.
"You say Lin Jian can know our intentions?" Fei Fei Hu asked.
"Why can't you see it? Mr. Du was with us, did he have a look of surprise on his face? Song Jia didn't need to be helped to ride on horseback, she was wearing whirl pants, this kind of pants stood on the ground, it looked no different from the skirt, but the crotch was separated, so that the woman could wear a good horse, "Otherwise, you don't need to directly reveal to us their intention to build a dock here...... "When it came to the shore, the wind was stronger, Song Jia stretched out her hand to pick up the messy silk on her face to the root of her ears, and saw Lin Tie under the river and they anchored away, watching Lin Tie sitting on the bow of the boat from a distance, and felt the feeling of fingers touching when receiving the tea bowl.
"It's tricky." Extravagant Feihu sighed lightly.
"They may not have imagined that the land by the river is already in our hands." Du Rong said.
"I'm afraid it's useless," Song Jia shook her head and said, "There is never any reason to talk about the official expropriation of private land. ”
If you want to talk about power, the Marquis Mansion of Jin An is much stronger than Lin Lian's small prison from Jiupin Si Prison, but the DPRK and China have a strong sense of vigilance against the luxury family, originally they wanted to quietly repair the wharf and build the warehouse in the name of Qingfeng Xing, as long as there is enough silver to smash down, it will naturally make the officials of Jiangning pretend to be confused and turn a blind eye, but at this time, Lin Lian openly stood up and fought with them for this piece of riverside land, it can be said that no official in Jiangning dared to openly stand up and support their luxury family. Besides, Lin Lian's words just now also made it very clear that Lin Lian wanted to take this land in the name of Jinchuan Prison Island, and to put it bluntly, Gu Wuchen was supporting him behind his back.
"This forest tie is different, I really underestimated him before," Du Rong took the stiff rope from the guard's hand, rode it on his back, lightly reined in the reins, and said with a frown, "Jinchuan Prison Island needs supplies, and it is transported from the Jiuweng Bridge Wharf, even if it is more troublesome, how much trouble can it have?" To build a wharf and repair a warehouse here, and to build another carriage road to connect with the official road outside Donghua Gate, isn't it ten or a hundred times more troublesome? He thinks that the Jiuwengqiao Wharf is too small and not enough, and he also thinks that the Jiuwengqiao Wharf only stops official ships, not civilian ships! ”
"People are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, who knows how deep the involvement of the Jiyun Society and the Gu family is behind the scenes?" Yu Feihu said, "It's only been a few days since Lin Jian arrived on Prison Island, and Gu Wuchen cleared the Jiangdao Prison, isn't it convenient for him to cover the sky with one hand on Prison Island?" Others look down on the little one who is a big sesame official, but if you want to talk about trouble, it's really a trouble. ”
"Is it possible to give them some trouble? After Gu Wuchen cleared the prison, Prison Island added to the chaos, and Gu Wuchen always had to give an explanation......" Du Rong said.
"I'm afraid it's not good, Lin Jian is not a person who is easy to impress, Gu Wuchen has been exiled to the army for nearly ten years, and his temperament will not be weak......" Song Jia frowned and said, "I think he is also an ambitious person, so I can't sit down and talk about it......"
"I've stuffed a sweet jujube, and then I'm going to beat a stick, I can't spoil other people's tempers," Yu Feihu frowned, and said categorically, to be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable listening to his wife attaching so much importance to Lin Lian, and said to Du Rong, "You go and arrange it, but you have to know that you can't use our people ......."
"I know." Du Rong said, after all, there is Gu Wuchen standing behind Lin Bin, after the Chu Party takes charge of the center, Gu Wuchen will most likely take over as the envoy, they must not fall out with Gu Wuchen now, otherwise they will be subject to Gu Wuchen everywhere in what they do in Jiangdong in the future.
Song Jia pursed her pink red lips and stopped talking, thinking that Lin Jian must be arrogant and arrogant, if she doesn't encounter some setbacks, I'm afraid it will be difficult for luxury families to use. If she could, she couldn't wait to whip him twice with a whip to be refreshed, and unconsciously imagined that she would strip Lin Jian naked and beat him with a whip, and there was a slight strange feeling flowing in her heart, and she was very looking forward to it.
Seeing that his wife suddenly fell silent, his face turned slightly red, and his expression was very weird, and he asked her, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Didn't think anything?" Song Jia came back to her senses, glanced back at the Wupeng boat that was moving away, and said, "It's up to you what you want to do, I can't control it as a woman." ”
*************
Lin Jian doesn't have many taboos on Prison Island now, and if he wants to send Lin Jingzhong and Lin Mengde across the river tomorrow, he will directly leave them on Prison Island for the night.
Last year, more counties in the north of Jinzhong and Western Qin were affected than in previous years, but after the Luxury family split the land and sealed the marquis, the war in the southeast was calm, and the imperial court was able to transfer a large number of elite soldiers from the southeast to strengthen the armament of the north, not only strengthening the defense line against the Donghu people in the Yanshan area, but also strengthening the suppression of the people in the northwest and other places who were making trouble such as rent and donations.
In previous years, the peasants in the northwest and other counties would always flee the spring famine on a large scale after the spring planting, but the bitter cold and drought continued, not to mention the spring famine that was not green, and many peasants had no surplus grain and could not even withstand the winter.
After the New Year's Festival, there are obviously more displaced people in Jiangning City than in previous years, and there are still more displaced people gathered on the north bank of the river. Except for those who seek to seek refuge with relatives and friends, the government-controlled ferries strictly prohibit the homeless from crossing the river.
Jiyun Society wants to open a wharf on the south bank of the river to build a warehouse, and also build a carriage and horse road connecting from the wharf to the official road outside Donghua Gate, which requires a large number of manpower, and it is most suitable to take a boat to Jiangbei to select a strong hire from the homeless people. However, the construction of the wharf has not yet been officially mentioned on the agenda, and the Jiyun Society cannot recruit displaced people in this name, but after the Jiyun Society gets the business post from Moling County, it can not only recruit forty guards with knives and prepare ten soft bows, but also employ more than 100 men, porters, and forced laborers in an open and honest manner.
Lin Jingzhong will go to Jiangbei tomorrow to select these manpower for Jiyun Society.
It is said that it is forbidden for businesses or village tyrants to directly recruit displaced people, so as not to allow some people to use this to raise fame and save the dead, but the law is relaxed and abolished, and there are 100 prohibitions, which cannot be strictly implemented and enforced, and 100 alternative methods can be born.
Lin Lian's side is still quite disciplined, he has already asked Lin Jingzhong to discuss with Moling County, the displaced people selected by Jiyun Society, Moling County is responsible for listing these displaced people and their families in the county yellow book, which can be regarded as letting them officially settle in Moling County first and then hire Jiyun Society.
This is also a political achievement for Moling County. In addition to organizing people to repatriate the displaced people to their hometowns, the imperial court also hoped that the local government could resettle as many displaced people as possible in situ to relieve the pressure on the north. It is easy for the local government to naturalize the displaced people, but the influx of a large number of landless displaced people has a great impact on local security, and the contradictions between the local people and the displaced people are also difficult for the government to reconcile. Even if the resettlement of displaced people is considered a political achievement, it is not easy for the local government to accept these landless and bankrupt displaced people.
************
Back on Jinchuan Prison Island, the golden sunset was crumbling on the top of the mountain in the distance, Lin Jian took Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong, Zhou Pu, Wu Qi and others into the courtyard of the prison hall, and the eldest grandson Geng and other officials who were on errand in the front hall saw it and didn't say anything.
According to the criminal law of this dynasty, private persons are only strictly prohibited from entering the prison cell, and it is not said that private persons are prohibited from entering the courtyard of the prison hall. Some of the old rules are just the old rules on Prison Island, and now Lin is bound to cover the sky with one hand on Prison Island, and the rules outside the laws are naturally set by him, even if the laws are over, it doesn't hurt to exceed a few points.
Lin Jian caught the eldest grandson Geng and asked Yang Shi and Zhao Hu where they were at this time.
"Drill in the back of the martial arts courtyard, and call them over?" Changsun Geng asked.
"We used to be." Lin Jian said, he led Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong and others towards the back of the martial arts courtyard, Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong and Yang Shi are not strangers, he will use Yang Shi to train martial arts in the future, naturally he wants to have a good relationship.
Listening to the chaotic shouts and cheers, Lin Jian walked into the courtyard of the martial arts, and when he stood at the entrance of the courtyard, he saw Yang Shi leading nearly thirty unworthy soldiers to neatly practice a kind of boxing that was common in the military camp in the middle of the courtyard. When Lin Jian walked in, the martial arts officers cheered up, and their movements looked neat, in essence, it was not much different from the situation when the students of a middle school did radio gymnastics together a thousand years later.
Lin Jian stood at the entrance of the courtyard and watched, because he asked Zhao Hu to follow Yang Shi when he left, at this time, Zhao Hu also honestly followed Yang Shi to practice boxing. After practicing the sixty-four styles of a fist, Yang Shi asked the martial arts to line up and stand on the edge of the venue, he and Zhao Hu walked to Lin Bin's side, with a smug look on their faces, and said, "Lord Lin is back, but what instructions do you have?" ”
"You pick five ...... who punch well," Lin Jian said, he knew that these people were already elite soldiers under the rule of the Inspector Division, and he also knew that Yang Shi, Gu Wuchen, and Yang Pu had grown up in the northern front military camp since they were children, and they had some knowledge, but it was nothing more than that.
Yang Shi glanced at Zhou Pu behind Lin Lian, only when Lin Lian asked Zhou Pu to study these soldiers under him, he didn't say any nonsense, and selected five strong soldiers to stand in the middle of the field, and said to Lin Lian: "Their boxing skills are good, please test Lord Lin." ”
"Okay, I'll personally test their boxing skills," Lin Jian took off the waist knife and gave it to Zhou Pu to hold, and then took off the green shirt official uniform, wearing only the short coat inside, walked to the middle of the field, and stood in front of the five warriors, "Let's start the ......" As soon as the words fell, the probe hand was a punch, hitting the chest of one of the warriors. The force of his punch was so strong that the soldier was caught off guard, he took a hard blow, took two steps back, didn't catch his breath, and sat down on the ground with a "plop" butt, looking at Lin Tie as if he was beaten, not knowing what to do.
"The enemy won't greet you in advance," Lin Jian stretched out his hand to pull up the martial artist who was sitting on the ground, and said, "You don't dare to make a move on me, I can't test how much strength you have," pointed to Zhao Hu behind him and said, "You don't have to worry about anything when you start beating him." Today you will beat him so that his nose is blue and his face is swollen and he can't do it, and each of you will be rewarded with five hundred dollars; If the five of you beat him together, but you can't afford to beat him with a blue nose and swollen face, you won't receive this month's salary! Lin Jian walked back to the courtyard with his hands behind him, staring at the venue with a calm face, and did not look at Yang Shi.
Only then did Yang Shi understand that Lin Jian was originally very dissatisfied with these martial soldiers, and he stood behind Lin Jian with a scornful face.
Speaking of which, Yang Shi and his father followed Gu Wuchen to Jiangning, and went directly to the Yamen of the Inspectorate to take the military position of a lieutenant, and the combat effectiveness of these soldiers has nothing to do with him and his father, that is, before yesterday, Yang Shi was more running around Gu Wuchen, and was not responsible for the daily training of these soldiers. But Gu Wuchen asked him to lead the soldiers to guard the prison island, as if his dream of living in the military camp for a long time suddenly had sustenance, he regarded these soldiers as his own soldiers from the moment he fought, Lin Lian's demeanor was like a whip in his heart, he was very unconvinced, hoping that the five soldiers in the field could teach Zhao Hu a hard lesson.
The facts are always disappointing, Zhao Hu was strong when he was a child, and when he grew up, three or five men couldn't get close, and he had accumulated a lot of practical experience in catching bandits and thieves in the township camp in the past few years, and even became the leader, and the level of combat and physical fitness that could really be used in actual combat was greatly improved in the past three or four months. The key is that these five soldiers don't know what cooperation is at all, scramble to be the first, and put a move to knock Zhao Hu down, but Zhao Hu has no frame under his fist, always move to a diagonal angle, to avoid surrounding the other party, when shooting, there is no beauty in raising his fist and feet, only clean and neat, and he is merciless in his shot, and in the blink of an eye, he hit a soldier with a nosebleed, a soldier covered his abdomen and squatted down in pain and couldn't stand up, and a soldier kicked his crotch hard, fell away four or five steps away, and was stunned and couldn't stand up, The remaining two soldiers were too timid to step forward......
Lin Jian waved his hand to make them stop, and said: "At your level, I am embarrassed to deduct your salary, but I am even more embarrassed to tell others that you are the elite of the martial arts on this prison island," said to Yang Shi, who had an ugly face beside him: "If you want to talk about the combat effectiveness of the martial arts, standing there in line one by one and boxing and fighting neatly are all fake, killing or being killed on the battlefield is a problem that can be solved between one knife and two knives, and there is no need for thirty-two or sixty-four styles." These warriors, I won't ask too high for the time being, I'll teach you a move, if you don't stop doing six hundred sets, you can still stand there neatly and beat the set of punches just now without going out of shape, and then talk to me about the problem of combat effectiveness," Lin Jian said to Zhao Hu, "You show them the full squat practice breath demonstration......
Zhao Hu made a very simple full squat action, and explained the essentials of the action to Yang Shi and the martial arts twice: wide chest, deep breathing, squatting when the hand is naturally stretched down from the waist, squatting when the hand touches the ground when squatting to the lowest point, the arm naturally arcs to stand up in front of the body and exhale, and the arm is raised to the shoulder and exhale, and a full squat action is completed.
This full squat action is very simple, nearly 30 soldiers in the field, each tried to do two or three, and the movements can basically be done in place. Lin Jian was not embarrassed by Yang Shi, and asked Zhao Hu to stand in front of the venue to demonstrate, only to let him supervise these martial arts to finish the six hundred groups of squats without stopping, and he would come to see it later.
Lin Jian took Lin Mengde, Lin Jing and others to the middle courtyard, and asked the handymen to prepare a guest room for them to spend the night, and after dinner, they returned to the martial arts courtyard, and almost no one could stand up.
Lin Jian stood at the entrance of the courtyard and took a look, and without saying anything, he retreated, and the arrogant Yang Shi almost cried. Zhao Hu demonstrated in front just now, he thought that he should take the lead in order to be the way, and also follow the full squat action together, the vast majority of martial arts can only support two hundred groups to three hundred groups in a row, he stubbornly followed Zhao Hu to finish the six hundred groups without stopping, watching Lin Tie appear at the entrance of the courtyard, he didn't even have the strength to stand up with his hands on the ground, how could he feel good in his heart?
