Chapter 48: Joy in the Rain
The rain has been pouring down non-stop, and for more than ten days, I haven't even seen a sunny day.
Gu Yingsleeve walked to the window, held a wooden stick to prop up the window, the raindrops hit the windowsill, the rain stars splashed in, and fell on the wrists as white as snow, a cool, making people want to go to the courtyard to drench in a burst of rain to breathe. It's just that the mother-in-law and maid below are staring at it, and she can't be so crazy.
Gu Yingsleeve looked at the rain curtain hanging from the eaves with half a complaint and half worry, her eyes were like autumn water, her beautiful face was fair and had a porcelain-like luster, wearing a red and green embroidered gold silk shirt, standing by the house, like a stunning beauty coming out of the picture of a lady.
Listening to the sound of footsteps outside the yard, Gu Yingsleeve looked over and thought to herself, who came to visit the door on a rainy day? The front yard didn't make a clear report, and let people in?
Gu Yingsleeve's vision was blocked by the window, and she saw the moon gate, but when she saw that the maids waiting in the corridor were nervously saluting, she secretly spitted: In broad daylight, when you break into the widow's door, you are not afraid to show others chewing your tongue? But his heart was beautiful, so he hurriedly ran to the dressing table and took a picture of the gilded glass mirror, combed his sideburns a little, just turned around, and saw Lin Jian walking straight in with his head down, and said angrily: "Break into this house in broad daylight, and you are not afraid to show others?" ”
"I'm looking for you to get down to business, what are you afraid of others seeing?" The corners of Lin Lian's mouth were crooked, and his smile was a little evil.
Gu Yingsleeve looked at it, but she was infatuated in her heart, and she didn't blame Lin Tie for being unscrupulous. In order to meet each other, she moved to a single courtyard at the western foot of the road, which was to reduce the chance of outsiders bumping into each other.
Gu Yingsleeve probed and saw that the maids and mothers-in-law who were waiting outside had retreated to the courtyard outside, and she also thought that Lin Lian came over, women are like this, and there is nothing great about not thinking about it, as soon as she thought of it, her heart was on fire, and she burned it first, pursed her lips, her eyes were watery, and she teased Lin Lian and said: "Breaking in in broad daylight, what else can you do?" But this sentence ignited the fire in his heart.
Gu Ying's thin teeth bit her red lips, and her eyes like autumn water seemed to see through Lin Lian's crooked thoughts. Lin Tie was fascinated by Yingsleeve's charm, and he was really not in a hurry to say what was going on, so he took her into his arms and said with a smile: "I forgot about the business for you, but I remembered another business." On this day, I didn't get close to Sister Yingsleeve, and I was panicked......"
"What's the matter with the three little girls brought back from Haidong, you still have the heart and time to think about me?" Gu Yingsleeve asked with a smile, and when he hugged Lin Jian into his arms, he felt that his breath was rushing, as if a strong sea tide was surging to drown him, and when he got closer, his breath was about to gasp and stick to his arms, but he was joking about other things, to make himself look normal.
"That's the maid that Miss Song brought back from Haidong to serve, didn't they want to send one to you a few days ago? What does it have to do with me? Lin Jian unambiguously put the responsibility on Song Jia's head, and he had long known that it was a little unclear to bring three girls back from Haidong.
"I don't want her to be courteous," Gu Yingsleeve said, she always felt that Song Jia was a powerful character, even if she might use these three girls to compete for favor in front of Lin Tie in the future, as long as her heart was towards Huaidong, there was no need to point it out, she glanced up at Lin Tie, and asked softly, "She gave you her body?" ”
Lin Jian touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Between me and Miss Song, it's not as messy as you think......"
"Then there will be a mess between me and you?" Gu Yingsleeve raised his head and glanced at Lin Lian, his eyes were black and white, and he gently pinched Lin Lian's waist, teasing him and said, "If you can resist not eating that bite, I will obey you!" Since ancient times, there has been no cat that does not steal, and in the eyes of others, Miss Song will not give you her body, what is the difference? ”
Thinking of Song Jia's unprovoked beautiful face and amorous beautiful eyes, Lin Lian's heart fluttered, and his hand stroked Gu Ying's plump buttocks through the skirt, thinking to himself: Song Jia's body is also so plump, and the thoughts in his heart burned like a fire.
Gu Yingsleeve could feel Lin Lian's reaction, seeing that he was a little distracted, his hand touched his handsome cheek like a knife and axe, and said angrily: "Don't think about others at this time!" ”
Lin Lian came back to his senses, looked at Gu Yingsleeve intently, put her red lips together, and kissed her with a fragrant tongue, wanting to untie her skirt and do a good deed. Gu Yingsleeve blushed and blocked his anxious hand, and said, "If someone comes, I won't be able to wear it!" It was implied that Lin Jian could take off her dirty pants.
The maid and mother-in-law will not talk too much outside, but in broad daylight, Gu Yingsleeve is afraid that someone else will come to her. Lin Tie was rarely able to spare time, and she couldn't miss the opportunity to love, and she was afraid that others would bump into her, so she asked Lin Tie to take off her dirty pants and put the skirt on her waist to do her good deed.
The weather is also trending, women do not go out in the inner courtyard, but there are many women who do not wear obscene pants in their skirts, and if someone comes later, they will put down the skirts that can cover the upper of their shoes, which is better than panicking and disheveled.
Gu Ying's sleeves stood on the table and stood with her buttocks crossed, Lin Lian scooped up the green Luo skirt and folded it on her slender waist, the plump and fat white buttocks were exposed, dazzling people's eyes were confused, the thighs were plump and white and tender, the middle stream path was like a March peach, and there were grass to cover it, so that Lin Lian stood behind and saw it really, and saw it like a fascination, and saw that the blood was full of blood, and he took his fingertips at the edge and praised lightly: "It's so beautiful!" ”
Gu Ying's sleeves are sensitive/Feeling is lightly teased, different from the feeling of flirting in the past, it seems to be itchy but not itchy, it seems to be numb but not numb, and the whole body is full of softness, and the thighs are cold, and there is actually something cold hanging down. Gu Yingsleeve didn't believe that Lin Lian didn't touch Song Jia's body, and at this time she scolded in her heart: Didn't you learn the lewd methods from that fox spirit? The itch made people have an urge to clamp their hips, Gu Yingsleeve endured it, glanced back at Lin Lian, and saw that he seemed to be really waiting to see that he couldn't stand the itch, reached out and pinched a piece of meat on his thigh and pulled it over, and stabbed the hard pestle-like thing in, only then did he feel that the heart that had been lifted was put into practice! And he scraped out a patch of water.
This love is truly beautiful.
Gu Yingsleeve washed off the filth, came over to serve Lin Tie again, and said to him: "You go back quickly, don't really bump into others!" ”
Lin Tie straightened the rhino horn belt, walked out with a step, and was just about to go out of the moon gate between the inner and outer courtyards, patted his forehead, and said to the sleeve that gave him behind him: "I really have something to do with you!" I almost forgot about business! ”
Gu Yingsleeve chuckled, blushed and said, "Who made you come in such a hurry?" ”
"Who called Sister Yingsleeve so charming, she forgot about business when she was confused." Lin Lian salivated and smiled, touched her plump and beautiful cheeks lovingly, took her hand and sat down on the armrest of the eaves, and told her about the money bank.
In the chaotic world, the people lived in poverty, not because the absolute output of rice and grain was insufficient, but because of the serious uneven distribution.
At that time, land annexation was serious, and it was normal for a single landowner to occupy hundreds or thousands of acres of land and hire dozens or hundreds of people to help cultivate the land.
In the final harvest, dozens or hundreds of tenant farmers only get three or four percent, and they also have to bear the land tax and the ding tax; A landlord should take up as much as fifty or sixty percent. These grains were either exchanged for silver by the landowners, or for luxuries, and more were stored in the granaries.
It is also normal for the poor to have no food, and for the rich to have rice rotting in the granary; There is no essential difference from the so-called phenomenon of "pouring milk into the river and starving bones on the road".
Lin is bound in Chongzhou and Huaidong, and he can't offend the landlords and rich households, so he can only take some modest measures to slowly untie this dead knot.
Checking public land, relocating displaced households for farming, and reducing rents and taxes are all means that Lin Jian has been adopting.
In the past two years, Lin has resettled almost 40,000 displaced families in Chongzhou. The situation is developing rapidly, Lin Jian is afraid that time is not waiting for anyone, and Huaidong must gain the initiative in two years, and at the same time as defending the completion of the seawall, all the grasslands in Hecheng will be reclaimed, including the families of the workers and camps, and the number of reclaimed households will increase to 8 to 100,000!
The Huaidong Military Division has to do several things well at the same time, and there is no longer spare financial resources to carry out such a large-scale reclamation.
An important purpose of setting up a money village, and it is also the original purpose of Wang Chengfu's proposal, that is, through the form of "borrowing and lending", so that the poor or homeless people can have the money to buy rice and grain from the landlords and rich households to tide over the famine, as long as they reclaim the wasteland in Hecheng and obtain the harvest, they can return the money and interest of the money and the village.
In this way, the Huaidong Military Division only needs to separate the wasteland and lease it to the displaced people for reclamation, which can greatly alleviate the financial pressure of the Huaidong Military Division in reclaiming the grassland in Hecheng.
In fact, the financial pressure of "rehousing displaced people and cultivating grain fields" was transferred to the head of the "money village"; Of course, the bank charges a certain amount of interest as compensation.
If we think that the scale of the reclaimed households in Hecheng will reach more than 80,000 within two years, the scale of the loan of the money village alone will reach 560,000 taels of silver a year. Considering that the money village also does fly ticket exchange and other affairs for grain merchants, the principal of the money village is less than two million taels of silver, which is not enough.
In addition to Sun, Zhou and other maritime merchants who moved south, Lin Jian hoped that the Lin family could become one of the main wealthy owners of Qianzhuang.
Naturally, someone had to be sent to discuss this matter with Lin Tingli and Lin Xuwen, but the principal of the Lin family was still a few widows of Lin Tingxun in name, so Lin Lian came over to say to Yingsleeve that Yingsleeve would do the ideological work of several other ladies.
The Lin family has hundreds of thousands of acres of private land in Shanglin, and now it has been recovered by Lin Tingli, and some of it can be exchanged for cash to support the establishment of a money village.
Gu Yingsleeve listened to Lin Lian talk about the matter of Qian Zhuang again, and said: "The second master and the eldest prince are there, you have to send someone to ask for opinions, our ladies, in the final analysis, it is still the opinion of Xiaoliu, you go and ask her, can she ask you?" ”
"This?" No matter how thick-skinned Lin Lian was, he couldn't take advantage of Shan Rou, and said embarrassedly, "I'm afraid it's not good for the sixth lady." ”
"What, Xiaoliu is thinking about you and thinking about you in his heart, and his whole mind is entangled in you, like a little girl who has just opened up in cardamom, if you go to her to do things, I don't know how happy she is in her heart," Gu Yingsleeve said faintly, "You have to think that if this thing is done, it will benefit the people's livelihood and the Lin family, what else are you afraid of not being able to speak in the face of Xiaoliu?" You wait here, I'll go find her. ”
