Chapter 114: Phase Mystery (2)

It is also easy to resolve Gu Wuchen's suspicions, Gu Wuchen is not a person who can be easily fooled, who is beneficial to him and who is useful to him, he knows best in his heart, and it is impossible for him to be unguarded against Zhao Qinmin at this time, Lin Jian gently let Zhao Qinmin plant a heel, it is not a difficult thing.

Lin Jian was still thinking about Su Mei's matter, he could understand that Fu Qinghe would not rub his marriage with Sun Wenwan without first discussing it for no reason, it should be Su Mei mentioned this matter in the letter sent to Changshan Island; Between Su Mei and Chen Mingzhe, it is not the kind of lingering ambiguity that the outside world legends say, Lin Jian still has this bit of eyesight, but Su Mei can't get out of the feudal mansion at this time, and he has to find a shield to deal with so many entanglements, so he connived at the evolution of the situation.

What if Chen Mingzhe is the champion, is he not a chess piece in the general trend of the world?

Lin Lian thought of his "rival in love", he had seen him once in Jiangning Gongyuan during the township test, he had seen it at the Luming banquet on the list of people in the township test, and he had seen it in the Baiyuan when he was "obsessed" with Su Mei, but Lin Lian was no stranger to this first talent in the southeast, and he sneered contemptuously in his heart: Chen Xiyan, Chen Xinbo, Zhang Xie, Tang Haoxin and others are the people who stand on the side of the chessboard and play chess, but unfortunately these people only care about the party struggle, but they can't see the danger that the chessboard will turn over and there are other races coveting the chessboard. However, several people have been bound by various situations, and they are unable to show their talents and ambitions.

Lin Jian rode a horse to the Gu house with a heavy heart, handed the horse to Zhou Pu and them, and followed Gu Wuchen to the inner house with Zhao Qinmin.

"Ahh

Listening to a coquettish cry, Lin Jian came back to his senses in shock, and when he saw that he almost bumped into Gu Junxun's body, he took a step back and stood still, and asked with a smile: "What is Xun Niang going to do?" "I am familiar with the Gu family, and there is no need to be too shy about meeting Gu Junxun in the courtyard.

"This Nizi is reckless, grounded in her own yard and rampage, not afraid to scare the guests?" Gu Wuchen said with a smile and asked his daughter, "What about your mother?" ”

Gu Junxun blushed and gave a salute to Lin Lian and Zhao Qinmin, glanced at Lin Lian, and felt ashamed, so she replied to her father's words: "In the garden, I said that I wanted to move the banquet to the garden tonight, let me ask my father your opinion and the guests." ”

“…… It's nice in the garden, it's in the garden. Gu Wuchen said.

Yang Pu knew that his wife's temperament would not take the initiative to ask Gu Junxun to come out and spread this, most likely this was Xiao Nizi making an excuse to bump it out.

**********

When it gets dark, the wind lights are shining in the yard, and there is a bright moon in the night sky, and it is also good to drink in the garden. After a while, Zhang Yubo also rushed over by car to the banquet.

When drinking, Gu Wuchen asked his son Gu Siyuan to come over to accompany him and increase his exercise. After the wine was over, Gu Junxun led the maid to make tea. These things shouldn't have been done by her, but she did it, and everyone didn't think there was anything, Zhang Yubo and Zhao Qinmin were uncles, Lin Jian and the Gu family were also close, they were all Gu Wuchen's cronies, they couldn't be regarded as outsiders, and Gu Junxun was not considered to be a loser in showing up. Gu Wuchen and his wife have been in the army for nearly ten years, and they don't have a light view of etiquette in their hearts, otherwise there would not have been Gu Junxun Qiao pretending to be a man and going out to have fun. At this time, Gu Wuchen asked his son to go back to the room to study and study, not letting him stay to listen to the next secret discussion, and also asking his daughter and maid to leave the garden.

"There is a good thing today, I was about to tell the adults......" Lin Jian told Gu Wuchen about the marriage between Lin Jingzhong and the daughter of Sun Jingtang of the Xihe Society, and some details could naturally be omitted.

Lin Jingzhong can't say anything important at this time, the Xihe Club is only one of the River Gang forces, Gu Wuchen has the power to supervise Cao, and the River Gang forces will come to curry favor with him, he still doesn't take the small Xihe Club in his eyes, Lin Jingzhong's marriage with Sun Jingtang's daughter is a trivial matter, and he feels strange in his heart: Lin Jian didn't say this when he was drinking just now, but he brought it up at this time?

"Because of the marriage, I also chatted with the Chen brothers of the Xihe Association about Cao Yun, knowing that the river gang forces are under pressure on this year's Cao Yun, and the Cao Canal has been in disrepair for many years is a drawback, and the river gang Cao boat has not been fully replenished for many years is a drawback. I think about it carefully, and I think it makes some sense," Lin Jian said, "At that time, even if the Jiangdong Prefecture is willing to pay enough grain to load the ship north, if you don't pay attention to these two major drawbacks, there may still be big problems." When the time comes, we will be held accountable, and we will finally shift the responsibility to the River Gang, and it will not help......"

"Oh," Gu Wuchen responded, frowning, generally speaking, Cao Yun will not start to organize the departure after the autumn grain is handed in, at this time, according to the inspection of the Department of Envoys, the biggest task is to urge the prefecture and county to recognize the supply of Cao grain this year, although it will also supervise the repair of the Cao River and supervise the construction of Cao boats, but it is not the focus of the work at this time, especially the Cao Canal Road is not only through Jiangdong County, it is thousands of miles away from Jiangdong to the north, and Jiangdong County cannot be supervised by the Department of Inspectors. This year's luck is unfavorable, Yanjing has no grain to adjust, and grain prices continue to rise, at that time, the resentment of the government and the opposition will accumulate on the head of the Chu party, and blaming others cannot reverse this disadvantage, thinking of the great point, Gu Wuchen subconsciously asked, "What should I do?" ”

"Change your thinking and start shipping in advance," Lin Jian said, "In previous years, the Cao Yun was after the grain harvest in the late autumn, and it was at that time that the water level of the Cao Canal began to decrease, which seriously affected the speed of the Cao Canal, and the wind direction did not use the Cao boat to go north, so the speed was extremely slow." There will be no problems at all when the boat goes north, and it will take more than three months. Although the water level has not yet risen and the wind direction has turned unfavorable, the goods loaded by the boat are limited, and the draft is not deep, it is not easy to be shallow, nor is it easy to be damaged and overturned, and the river is naturally much smoother. If you put the boat to the north at this time, catch up with the spring and summer when the water rises, there is no need to worry about the shallow water level, the wind direction is also quite favorable, in addition, the boat on the Cao River is less empty at this time, from Jiangning to the north, everything goes well, it only takes a month to arrive in Yanjing. The return voyage took a little longer, but it was still in time to come back in time for a second shipment after the grain harvest in late autumn - besides, Yanjing is also short of food this year......"

"Yes!" Gu Wuchen's eyes lit up, the imperial court needed food to stabilize the Yanbei Front, the northwest disaster was serious and needed food, and Yanjing had a serious shortage of grain, so he could organize a batch of grain to be sent to Yanjing in advance, which would not only relieve the pressure of Cao Yun after the autumn, but also a great achievement at this time, he lacked enough political achievements at this time to remove Jia Pengyu from the official position of the inspector. Although the autumn grain has not been harvested, there is actually no shortage of grain in the official warehouses of the southeastern counties, and there is no practical difficulty in organizing the transportation in advance.

"Lord Yin promised to increase the grain of 200,000 stones, let him cash part of it first, and he can't delay it until ......the autumn," Lin Jian said.

"Yes, yes, yes......" Gu Wuchen laughed, Wang Xueshan will definitely struggle for control here, and the time will drag on for a long time, and the situation that was hard to get before will quietly change, in case Wang Xueshan backtracks and refuses to admit it after the autumn, he will have a headache, at this time, he will force Wang Xueshan to cash out part of it first, and after the autumn, even if the situation changes, Wang Xueshan will not do anything in the matter of Cao Yun.

At that moment, Gu Wuchen discussed the details with Lin Bin.

Zhang Yubo is not familiar with Cao Yun, and Zhao Qinmin also knows a thing or two, but it is better to hide it in front of Lin Lian than to be ugly.

When he met with Li Zhuo yesterday, Li Zhuo was very concerned about the issue of water transportation, and at that time he also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of river transportation and sea transportation. Lin Jian was also talking eloquently at the time, and after Li Zhuo picked up Jiangning's civil and military generals, he had been thinking about this issue, and what happened today was related to the Xihe Society, the power of the River Gang, and he also talked about a lot of luck when he was chatting with the Sun family brothers.

Although there were many advantages of sea transportation, the Great Viet Dynasty was no longer capable of organizing large-scale sea transportation at this time. There are simply not enough seaborne vessels that can withstand offshore storms, and only to maximize the efficiency of inland waterway transportation. Although the government and the opposition are in turmoil, internal and external troubles are endless, but the huge imperial system has not collapsed, it is still operating effectively, as long as the inland river transportation changes its thinking, there is still a great possibility of improvement, but I don't know whether the seams and patches in small places can save the national transport?

After all, Lin Jian does not want the world to collapse, so that the people will be in chaos and the aliens will benefit.

Lin Jian spent the most effort to study the strategy of Zhongxing during this time, whether the Great Yue Dynasty can be prosperous, to a large extent, depends on whether Caoyun can be effectively organized, as long as Yanjing Energy continues to be supported by the southeast financial endowment, and the loss is reduced as much as possible in the middle, the huge empire will not collapse immediately.

Although Lin Jian was the prisoner of Jiangdao Prison, it did not prevent him from giving advice to Gu Wuchen in other affairs. In fact, once the chief officer's staff is strong enough and effective enough to often replace the normal operation of the yamen, the adjutant and subordinate officials will be vacated because of this, and the powerful people in the staff will naturally have much more power in their hands than the subordinate officials. At least at this time in Jiangning, all the dignitaries and wealthy who were in awe of Gu Wuchen did not dare to despise Lin Lian, which was a manifestation of the latent power system in the world.

"I think it is more appropriate for the first batch of Cao grain to reach 300,000 stone Cao grain to go north, too little is not enough to show the adult's contribution to raising grain in Jiangdong, and it is not enough to relieve the pressure of Cao Yun after the autumn," Lin Jian said, "I have calculated, the normal year of Jiangdong County's Cao ship capacity is more than 1.8 million stones, even if the new ships are insufficient for many years, the capacity will not be less than one million stones, I am chatting with the Sun brothers of the Xihe Society today, and I learned that although the Xihe Society has released boats, at least half of the ships are idle." Last night, the Xihe Hui Wupeng boat gathered on the east side of the prison island at night, because there were some small misunderstandings, and the small misunderstandings naturally do not need to be investigated, but it can be judged that there are a large number of people in the Zhuhe Gang at this time to call the boat. The official warehouses of Jiangdong County are quite full, and even if the prefectures and counties directly purchase 300,000 stone rice grain from the market, it will not have any impact on Jiangdong County, which has a population of 8 million. Settle the accounts clearly, and I don't think there will be much resistance from the yamen of the prefectures and counties. In order to prevent exploitation at various gates, I think adults can even ask for a special advice on this matter. ”

"This is a strategy for the country," Gu Wuchen completely emptied the unhappiness caused by Lin Tie's private meeting with Li Zhuo yesterday at this time, and excitedly patted the table and praised Lin Tie, if he really wanted to be able to go to Yanjing in the summer to deliver 300,000 Shi Cao grain, Gu Wuchen felt that according to the position of the envoy, it should be his this year, Lin Tie has such a genius in the world, he really can't chill his heart, and asked Lin Tie, "Can you take the time to help me do this?" ”

"I'm going to ask the adults to allow me to go back to the forest, and I should have time to ......come back from the forest," Lin Jian said.

"Okay," Gu Wuchen agreed, "I always have to let Wang Xueshan agree to this matter first, he has to agree, it doesn't matter if he shares half of the credit......" Gu Wuchen knew that it was not a wise move to suppress Wang Xueshan with power, and it was the first choice to join forces with him to grasp the situation.

Lin Jian knew that the grievances between him and Wang Xueshan and Wang Chao's father and son were difficult, but the situation was like this, no one could help anyone, it was better for everyone to cooperate, he smiled and said, "My lord is really wise." ”

Zhao Qinmin sighed in his heart, only to know that he wanted to compete with Lin Tie in front of Gu Wuchen, it was really a mantis arm blocking the car, Gu Wuchen couldn't do without Lin Tie's help at this time, he took advantage of the situation and said good words: "Lord Lin is really Wang Zuozhi's talent......"

"Mr. Zhao, this is a bit inappropriate." Lin Jian smiled and took Zhao Qinmin's army.

Zhao Qinmin was slightly stunned, and then he understood what was going on, he said that Lin Jian was Wang Zuozhi's talent, wouldn't it be a metaphor that Gu Wuchen had greater ambitions?

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Wuchen was happy in his heart, and gently warned Zhao Qinmin, and he didn't rest assured, as an upstart in the Chu Party, if he wants to say that he has ambitions, his biggest ambition is also to become a famous minister in Zhongxing, he is not worried that Lin Bin's ability is so good that he will surpass himself, after all, Lin Tie wants to grow up in this system, it takes a long time to accumulate qualifications and popularity, if Lin Tie can become a generation of celebrities in a few decades, Gu Wuchen even thinks that both teachers and students can leave a name in history, which should be a more brilliant story.
