Xiao Man heard the dog barking and Lin Tie talking in the house, and ran out excitedly, she was holding a fluffy little black dog in her arms, not at all the ferocious appearance after growing up, Xiao Man raised the puppy to Lin Tie's eyes to show off, and said: "Look at it, Wan Niang asked Wen Pei to send a litter of six puppies, all like this, is it good?" ”

Seeing Xiao Man's excited appearance, Lin Jian turned back to Wu Qi and said, "That's only five for you at most." ”

"It's too wasteful to raise a black mountain dog as a local dog...... Wu Qi is still reluctant to leave a good dog to waste in the grass hall.

"You are also brainless, you know that there will be this kind of black mountain dog in Xihe, just find an opportunity to blackmail a few more in the future?" Lin Jian said with a smile.

"Ah, what does the crow want the dog to do?" Xiao Man glanced at Wu Qi vigilantly, and asked suspiciously, "Lord Crow won't want to eat dog meat, right, such a beautiful puppy, how can you bear it?" Can't give you a puppy. ”

"Am I like a dog meat eater?" Wu Qi said bitterly, "Although the black mountain dog is a good dog, if it is not tamed, it can be better than the local miscellaneous dog...... Back then, in the Huaishang village, I raised those two black mountains to be called smart, only to be called ability, alas, I hated Chen Hansan's dog thief to lure us in, the big and small sunspots failed to escape with me, and the big blacks also blocked a knife for me. ”

"As long as you don't eat dog meat, those six dogs will be given to you." Xiaoman saw that Wu Qi said pitifully, and he couldn't even bear to keep the puppy in his arms.

Lin Jian still has to leave a dog for Xiaoman to raise, otherwise their girls are too lonely in the house, he said to Wu Qi: "The dog gives birth to two litters a year, if there is a special person to breed and do not raise miscellaneous, there will be no shortage of black mountain dogs in the future." Does the crow have any dog breeders? I set aside a lot of land on Prison Island to build a kennel for dog training ......"

"Fei Yinzi?" Wu Qi said.

"Don't raise war dogs, raise warning dogs, for warning and searching for enemies, it's ......better to be able to transmit messages," Lin Jian said, "If you don't let me raise people on Prison Island, can you still keep me a dog?" The money always has to be used, you write down the method of domesticating dogs, and we will discuss together to draw up a detailed rules for raising dogs. With the detailed rules, it is also convenient to teach, and if we want to train people in the future, we can't wait three or five years before becoming a teacher. ”

Lin Jian knows that when the world's army nutrition dogs are mostly war dogs, dogs are more powerful and ferocious, in fact, this is a big misunderstanding, the cost of raising war dogs is not lower than that of soldiers, but the role of fierce war dogs on the battlefield is also very limited, and it cannot be compared with the elite soldiers in armor, and in the end, the war dogs have become a tool for a small number of generals and military attachés to be majestic, similar to Gongzi Kuoshao leading vicious dogs to bully the street and bully the market, and can not really play the role of a good dog.

In fact, in addition to being brave and fearless like a wolf, the sense of smell and hearing is far stronger than that of humans, and the careful training of good dogs is more laborious and silver than raising war dogs, but it can play a big role in tracking, vigilance, patrolling, search and arrest, and it is definitely worth the money.

Even with Wu Qi's stealth ability, it is very easy to hide from people, or if you don't use meatballs to pave the way, it is very easy to escape the nose and ears of even ordinary house dogs. Lin Jian has read the Seven Classics of Martial Arts, some simple methods of domesticating war dogs, but there is no emphasis on dog training to ban food from outsiders, it is easy to poison the bait, here the dog training should pay special attention to this, raising a few black mountain dogs in the estuary can reduce the number of dark whistles.

The prison island warriors were one hundred and eighty soldiers, and it would be difficult to break through this number until the prison city was reopened. There are only forty military guards that can be used in the Ming Li of the Jiyun Society, and although some people can be hidden on the ship in the future, there are always too many armed guards on the shore of the estuary. In the future, when the three boats are released, the estuary will nominally only be able to put ten armed guards, which is far from enough to guard the warehouses and warehouses of the Jiyun Society in the future.

If you can't raise soldiers, you can domesticate good dogs for the time being to make up for the shortage; Warning dogs are very useful things, and one or two good dogs on ships, barracks, warehouses, etc., can make people rest at ease. The life span of dogs is also long, and the prime of life is also seven to eight years, at this time, you can raise a few more to prevent the urgent need in the future, Lin Lian has always believed that the silver spent is the silver. As long as he manages it well, with the abundant labor and reclaimable wasteland, river beaches, and the private salt passage between Changshan Island and Prison Island, Lin Jian is not worried about the source of the silver.

"What, he's not greedy enough to ask if there's a little black here? We are the Xihe Society of the River Gang, not the Xihe Society of dogs," Sun Wenwan stared at Wen Pei in surprise, "A litter of little black just over the first month was given to them, and they are really not enough to swallow elephants." Have you told them that the Black Mountain Dog, the West River Club has only raised two pairs, this litter of full-term, I don't know how many people come to beg for it? Other people's black mountains are miscellaneous, and they lose their spirituality, and it's useless to ask for it, it's only fiercer than the earth dog. ”

The river gang men will go north after the autumn, and they will go for more than half a year, only women and children will keep the house for the old and weak, so there is a tradition of raising dogs to protect the house, and there are also good breeds, but they are limited to financial resources and cannot be domesticated on a large scale.

"Why am I embarrassed? If it is said that it is to be mated, not only can it not be raised, but it is also necessary to avoid pairing breeding dogs that are too close in bloodline...... My ears are red when I hear this kind of thing, so why am I embarrassed to ask anything else? Wen Pei sat at the head of Wan Niang's bed and asked suspiciously, "Sister, you are really amazing, how do you know that the person surnamed Lin likes dogs and doesn't like other things?" ”

“…… I won't tell you this," Sun Wenwan laughed proudly, she saw that there was a dark whistle at the mouth of the river that she caught Lin Tie that night, and she could also see that the lights of the corner tower were more used for vigilance, and the silver invested would not be less, so she knew that Lin Tie attached great importance to the matter of vigilance, thinking that if Lin Tie knew the Black Mountain Dog, he would know that a good dog could be a sentry, and the Black Mountain Dog could hear the sound of feet hundreds of steps away, how could the human ear be so smart? And the black mountain dog's nose can smell and distinguish between the enemy and me, and it can smell something buried in the ground, so the human nose has such a bright light? In conjunction with the secret whistle, the two people and two dogs patrol in a staggered manner, and they can take care of the three or four hundred acres of the estuary, even if Lin Jian puts ten secret sentries at the estuary, they may not be able to take care of it thoroughly, and asked Wen Pei, "What about your mother?" ”

"I'm in a hurry to release the ferry today, arrange manpower at the wharf, and choose a piece of land on the riverbank," Wen Pei said, "Sister, when the yard is completed, will we live here?" ”

"You think to yourself, right? Even if you live here, you won't live in the same house with me in the future. Wan Niang laughed at Wen Pei, thinking about it carefully, when the riverbank wharf, the river embankment wharf and the carriage and horse road are completed, the estuary may not be able to become a thriving wharf for land and water and a thriving grass market, many congregations of the Xihe Society mainly rely on Cao Yun to survive, but it is always beneficial to have one more foothold in Jiangning and more sources of income, the famine in the north is also a clear bandit, and there are many more displaced people who have fled out of Xihe County and neighboring counties than in previous years, and many people have come to the Xihe Society with their relatives, and the Xihe Society cannot refuse, but it is necessary to take care of the livelihood of more people, is also a boulder that weighs on everyone's hearts. Wan Niang knew in her heart why her father and second uncle would be so active in Lin Bin's initiative, even if she had a grudge against Lin Bin, she had to consider the overall situation of the Xihe Society.

***********

The Chen Garden on the south bank of the Zangjin Bridge was originally a dilapidated pavilion in Jiangning, and the former Jiangning Mansion Yin allocated tens of thousands of taels of silver to repair and renovate it, becoming a famous garden with strange water and stones, and interesting plants and trees, which was only used to entertain high-ranking officials who lived temporarily in the city. It took three or five days for Li Zhuo and Qin Chengbo to hand over military affairs, and after Li Zhuo welcomed him into Jiangning, he lived in Chen Yuan, and three hundred elite soldiers from half a battalion of Jianrui Battalion under the Jiangning Garrison Military Government protected Chen Yuan and couldn't even fly in.

A clear water pond separates Chen Yuan from Yuqian Street, there is a delicate white marble bridge to connect, the ruts roll across the stone bridge, Gao Zongting lifted the curtain, showed the traffic sign to the military guards on duty, and then opened the curtain and looked at the beautiful scenery in Chen Garden.

Stopped and dismounted, and asked Li Zhuo on the stage of the other courtyard, Gao Zongting walked over quickly. This annex is mainly a clear small lake surrounded by blue tiles and white walls, there is a pocket island in the middle of the lake, build a pavilion, there is a boat to ferry people to the island, usually sit idle and have fun, you can also invite the singing and dancing girls, the servants take a small boat to perform on stage, the lake is surrounded by exquisite corridors on three sides, for people to sit across the lake to watch the performance in the pavilion.

Gao Zongting saw Li Zhuo standing on the island pavilion wearing a green shirt, his sideburns were frosty, his eyes were staring at the clear lake outside the pavilion, the tip of the new lotus on the lake was out of the water, slim and elegant, of course Gao Zongting knew that Li Zhuo was looking at the new lotus in a daze.

"Commander......" Gao Zongting called softly, and then boarded the boat, took the penny himself, and boarded the island pavilion.

"Zongting is back," Li Zhuo came back to his senses and said, "If there is any news, don't look at my high position today, and when I enter Jiangning, I am really like a blind and deaf person." Those pond copying post newspapers, all of them report good news but not bad news, and they don't really poke out a catastrophe that is difficult to cover up, and no one in the local area dares to show people with a black face, and smearing a layer of white powder is a little to say......"

"Luo Shanye, they have already arrived in the south of the city, and they have received the letter, so they will not enter the city first, Pingjiang Mansion, Dongyang Mansion, Jiahang, and Mingzhou will all send people, and the sources in Weiyang and Huai'an will count on Dong Yuan......" Gao Zongting said.

"Especially Pingjiang Mansion, Jiahang, and Mingzhou should send more people," Li Zhuo said, "I estimate that the luxury family will integrate the forces of the East China Sea Kou for their own use in the next step, and the pressure in Jiahang, Mingzhou and other places is very great. Pingjiang Prefecture is the source of the garrison military government, and the news from these three places must be accurate and timely, and local officials must not be fooled. ”

"The son of the extravagant family, Extravagant Feixiong, has a serious illness for no reason, and the people who have been placed in Jin'an can't find out the whereabouts of Extravagant Feixiong, I am worried that he has gone to sea," Gao Zongting said, "The imperial court blindly asks the southeast to supply the north, and refuses to allocate silver to build another water camp in Changguo County, Mingzhou, if the East China Sea occupies the islands of Changping County and integrates the forces, it is really tricky...... It's not without good news today, Gu Wuchen sent a letter to Jiangning Mansion and Xuanfu Envoy Si Yamen today, admonishing Jiangning Mansion and Jiangdong Mansions to set off for Xia Cao, and asking Jiangning Mansion to set an example, his appetite is not small, and he asked Jiangning to give 100,000 stone of summer grain when he opened his mouth. ”

"Oh," Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did Wang Xueshan react?" ”

"Of course Wang Xueshan won't agree so quickly, but at this time, Wang Xueshan should be able to cooperate with Gu Wuchen, but it will take some time to resolve the local resistance," Gao Zongting said with a smile, "Lin Lian's son is really not simple, it will be transparent with a little allocation, but unfortunately it can't be used by the commander, and if Xia Cao succeeds in setting off, it will not be good for Chen Xiang......"

"It's all for the utility of the imperial court, which is what is with each other, Chen has the grace of knowing me, but if Chen Xiang's stay in the center is harmful to the current situation, I can't harm justice because of personal kindness......," Li Zhuo said.

Gao Zongting didn't say anything else, thinking that Chen Xiang was in danger in the center, and the Chu Party might not allow the governor to sit firmly in Jiangning, he was sad in his heart, and said: "This Chen Yuan is good, why don't the governor take Chen Yuan as his mansion in Jiangning in the future?" Today's saint is still quite assertive, and he may not be manipulated by the Chu party, and the commander is in Jiangning to calm Yanjing's heart. ”

"Alas," Li Zhuo sighed slightly, nodded and agreed, "Let's live here, I don't know how long I can stay in Jiangning." ”
