The next day, after Ge Siyu arrived at Yamen, he brought the bamboo craftsman Zhao Zui Gui'er from the city to the mouth of the Jinchuan River.

Zhao Drunken Ghost is not much younger than Ge Fu, his chin is unkempt and his beard is frost white, his clothes are ragged, and there is a sour smell all over his body, and he doesn't know how many days he hasn't taken a bath, if Ge Siyu hadn't personally used a carriage to drive him over, others would only treat him as a homeless man and a beggar when they met him on the side of the road.

Zhao Drunken Ghost is also submissive in front of people, his tongue is still knotted when he speaks, and when he sees the warrior with a knife, he wants to hide to the side, without the slightest bit of the spirit of a master craftsman, and when Ge Fu comes by boat from Prison Island, he is a little bolder, and asks: "Ge Lao'er, you are looking for me to drink, why do you ask Master Shu Ling Shi to pull me to this ghost place?" ”

It is extremely difficult for a craftsman to get out of his nationality, he was born as a craftsman, he is a craftsman for life, Zhao is a drunken ghost widower and an old man, he has no strength to work after he is old, he doesn't drink and he doesn't look like a master, his life is unbearable, if it weren't for the help of the Ge family, he might have died on the street.

Ge Fu also knew that Zhao's drunken ghost's bearish appearance made people doubt his ability, so he only said to Lin Lian: "You give him wine to drink, as long as he is fifty percent drunk, then look at his ability......

Lin Tie asked people to prepare a banquet at the mouth of the river, and he didn't think that Zhao Drunken Ghost was full of filth, so he invited him to sit with Ge Fu, Ge Siyu, and Zhao Shuhan.

"Can't let him drink anymore, if he drinks more, he will make a mistake!" Graham said. Lin Jian listened to Ge Fu's words, asked Liu Yue'er to remove the wine glass in front of Zhao Drunken Ghost'er's table, and talked about building a bamboo hall on ten acres of land on this side of the estuary.

Lin Jian wanted to build a academy at the mouth of the Jinchuan River to imitate the Xixi Society to carry forward the skills of miscellaneous learning, but the Jiyun Society was shy in his pocket, and he really couldn't squeeze out too much silver to build a magnificent palace and pavilion, and the thatched house was too shabby. When he saw that the old man Ge Fu had summoned ten people on Prison Island, it took only three days to build a bamboo house for himself, so he thought of building a bamboo hall on this side of the river mouth for the purpose of teaching the scriptures. There is a large bamboo forest in the northwest corner of Prison Island, and the materials and labor can be free, and a bamboo hall here can save the silver of the old nose.

Zhao drunken ghost is timid by nature, it is precisely because he was born for a lowly craftsman to give the servants unprovoked scolding, the more sober he is, the deeper the fear of others in his heart, and his speech is not round, through five points of drunkenness, he really shows the demeanor of a generation of famous craftsmen.

Lin Tie said that he wanted to build a bamboo hall, although Zhao Drunken Ghost was timid, when he got off the carriage, he looked at the terrain around the estuary, at this time, with a little drunkenness, he pushed away the dishes on the table and vacated a piece, took his fingers and drank the soup, and said to Lin Tie while drawing graphics that the Ming Hall, the wing room, and the elegant house in this bamboo hall should be built and how to lay out the layout to be appropriate and elegant, and how many people were arranged to cut down bamboo, how many people made bamboo devices, how many people built them by hand, and said very carefully, that is, laymen listened to it and knew it. It was also suggested that Lin Tie build a small bamboo wharf on the river beach for light boats to moor, and cut bamboo to make steps to attract tourists to the bamboo hall on the shore......

The more wonderful Zhao Drunken Ghost said, the more sad Lin Jian became, when the world's celebrities were full of moral articles, the real famous teachers and craftsmen didn't even have the courage to speak normally in front of people when they were sober. At the moment, it was finalized with Ge Fu that the bamboo hall here would be supervised by Zhao Drunken Ghost. Speaking of which, it is not that Zhao Drunken Ghost is sober when he is drunk, but that he really does not have the courage to show his talent in front of others when he is sober, Lin Jingzhong is usually very busy, Lin Jian asked him to assign an honest and obedient guy and ask Ge Fu to appoint a craftsman who can respect Zhao Drunken Ghost to assist Zhao Drunken Ghost in supervising the construction of the bamboo hall, and asked Lin Jing Zhong and others to pay extra attention to respecting Zhao Drunken Ghost in their words and deeds.

On the side of Prison Island, Ge Fu built his own bamboo house courtyard and began to write the "Commentary on the Sutra" with his son Ge Siyu, which was actually a very difficult project than the writing of the "Prison Book".

Ge Fu was not very literate, but he was a fine painter, and he was responsible for drawing the drawings of palace buildings, bridges, and other large places, details, and various components according to his memory.

The old man Ge Fu has seen extraordinary things in his life, and in his old age, his memory is not weaker than that of young people, and he is a generalist craftsman who is perfect in all kinds of work, and even carefully recruited and painted all kinds of components of the big spinning wheel for Prison Island, some of his memories are not very accurate, so he pondered the production of the components to be made of wood to confirm, although it took time and manpower to consume silver, Lin Jian felt more and more that he had picked up a treasure.

During the chat, he learned that the old man Ge Fu also had the life experience of being a master craftsman in the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry in Jiangning, and Lin Jian could only temporarily suppress the urge to let the old man Ge Fu draw the pattern of the three-bow bed crossbow and even make the components.

Ge Siyu sorted out many of the regulations and regulations of the Ministry of Industry of Jiangning related to the construction of the Ministry of Industry, and the various algorithms and measurement data related to the construction of the construction.

In addition to Cao Wenlong, the son of Cao Ziang, Lin Jian also selected three literate teenagers from the children of the migrant workers to serve as assistants to Ge Fu and his son in the bamboo house on Prison Island, and the young man who begged Lin Jian to take him in in front of the Chaotian Post House was also among them. Literacy alone can't be an assistant to Ge Fu and his son, and Ge Fu and his son have to teach them some of the most basic construction knowledge first, which can be regarded as earning four primary school apprentices.

In the following days, Lin Jian never mentioned the tragedy of the displaced people, as if he had forgotten about this incident, and began to prepare for Zhao Shuhan's lecture after the bamboo hall was initially completed, and Jiyun Society also built a large number of buildings on the estuary.

Before the spring flood comes and the river rises, Jiyun Society should dig a deep water channel under the river where the stack wharf is located for a thousand stone ships to sail in and directly anchor to the edge of the river; Because this section of the river is very high, the vertical drop from the river beach is nearly 112 zhang, even if the main mast of the 10,000 stone ship is counted, the surface of the water is only 112 zhang high, from the river edge to open the stone ladder down to dock with the river boat moored over, but also according to the water level changes in different periods, open out the platform of different heights.

Ge Fu and Ge Siyu father and son have made great changes and optimizations to the previous excavation and construction plans based on experience, but estimating the amount of work, Jiyun Society is very optimistic that it can build a berth before the rainy season.

When he went to Chaotianyi to recruit homeless people to work, although Moling County only allowed 100 people to settle in Moling County with their families, Lin Jian thought carefully and chose those who were either brothers or fathers and sons who were all in the prime of life. After the tragedy, the casualties and the people sent to the city to take care of the injured caused almost 30 families to be seriously affected, and the remaining 70 households still have more than 180 men in the prime of life. Those homeless women who are in the prime of life, forced to make a living, there is nothing to say if they can't show their heads, and there are as many as 300 people who can actually use the labor force on the side of Jiyun Society. The remaining more than 100 old and weak children can also be called to do some easy work, and the Jiyun Society is paid half a liter and a half meter of labor, and the displaced people are naturally happy to accept it.

Lin Jian wants to continue to hide his strength, in addition to Cao Ziang and some homeless people with high prestige who were selected as foremen, even the brothers Ge Cunxin and Ge Cunxiong are also mixed in the homeless people as ordinary laborers; Due to the frequent exchange of materials and personnel between Prison Island and the estuary, Lin Jian prepared an extra Wupeng boat and a paddle boat on the river beach and the wharf of Prison Island, so Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others were singled out to serve as boatmen.

Three hundred laborers, two hundred people dug the river beach and opened stone ladders, and one hundred people transported the sand and gravel river mud to the shore to build a mud wall and build a house. The hard work is hard, and the rice and grain that these displaced people get every day is only enough to barely fill their stomachs, but Jiyun Society took out forty acres of land and distributed it to each household to build a homestead to build a house, and the sand, gravel, and clay needed to build a house are naturally provided free of charge, and other materials such as bamboo, grass felt, and hydrated lime are also provided by Jiyun Society for free. In such a short period of time, it was precisely after the tragedy of the displaced people that they had a stronger sense of dependence on Jiyun Society.

Many homeless laborers go down to the river beach during the day to work, and at night they go to the shore, and continue to build houses for their own homes or help their neighbors build houses by taking advantage of the campfire and the faint light of the stars and moon. These people usually rest for two or three hours a day, and with such a high level of labor intensity, three liters of rice a day is not enough for a middle-aged laborer to fill his stomach. No matter how much Lin Jian wants to squeeze the laborers, he has to give them a full stomach to work. Besides, the loyalty of these displaced people is by no means comparable to the labor recruited from Jiangning, even if they spend money, they will also provide a certain amount of vegetables, oil and salt, but fish and meat are the most inexpensive, and the prison island can supply three or four hundred catties of river fish here every day.

There are large bamboo forests and jungles on the prison island to be opened up for vegetable gardens, and the grass felt is also woven by the prisoners. Even so, in order to build a berth before the rainy season, the displaced people had to be resettled as soon as possible, and the manpower was still very scarce, so the Jiyun Society still hired nearly 400 middle-aged laborers from the outskirts of Jiangning at the cost of four liters of rice per person per day or fifteen yuan plus a meal.

Watching the houses be built one by one, the stone steps are opened step by step, and the waterways are deepened and widened day by day, it is indeed exciting, but looking at the daily flow account book, Lin Jingzhong is really difficult to get excited, and he now really feels the feeling of spending money like flowing water.

"Nowadays, even if you don't put in a large amount of materials every day, manpower money, food money, and pickaxes and straw bales and other utensils that need to be replenished every day cost thirty or forty taels of silver, but fortunately, thanks to the concentric help of the township party, almost all the silver lost in the tragedy and the pension silver have been borrowed from them to make up for it, and that's it, nearly three thousand taels of silver have been used up here," Lin Jingzhong carried the thick account book to the estuary thatched cottage to find Lin Bin, and reported to him sadly, "If you continue to live like this, you can only last another month, and there is no hope for the money to buy a boat." Gujia's new tea will not be available until early April, and if you want to get money from there, you will have to delay it until at least June. I discussed with Uncle Mengde, he can move three thousand taels of silver to us for emergency purposes first, and then make up for him the silver he got after the Gu family's new tea is listed, that's it, it's far from enough to spend......"

Lin Jian has been to the estuary of the river these days even during the day to take care of his official duties, and the prison island is also close, what is the matter, come over by a pulp boat, and work in the blink of an eye. His office at the mouth of the river is also a simple thatched shed, he called this thatched cottage, the only thing that is more comfortable than prison island is that there is Liu Yue'er waiting here, and Zhao Shuhan also brings people to visit every now and then, which is a joy in life. Lin Jian reached out and took the account book from Lin Jingzhong's arms and looked through it.

Liu Yue'er helped Lin Jingzhong make a cup of tea, stood aside and looked at the account book with her head sideways, her hair was slightly crooked to the side, her face was soft, and she exclaimed softly: "What a lot of money!" I thought that with the support of Prison Island, I could save some silver......" She threw herself into Lin Lian's arms in front of everyone at sunrise, although there was a big misunderstanding, so she didn't dare to raise her head in front of others for several days, and finally settled down at the mouth of the river, serving Lin Lian wholeheartedly, but she always remembered her identity as a little widow who kept festivals, and except for the occasional affectionate eye contact with Lin Lian, she didn't let him advance an inch.

Lin Jian looked up at Liu Yue'er, this girl didn't feel that living in the estuary was hard, coarse tea and light rice, but raised her skin to be white and tender, rich and round, red lips and white teeth, and beautiful eyes, that day there was a tenderness in her heart, and she couldn't help but hold her in her arms, and after giving her a struggle, there was no chance for the beauty to enter her arms again.

Lin Jingzhong didn't care about Lin Lian and Liu Yue'er's eyebrows, he was still worried about the account book in his heart, took the account book back, and said: "There is a support from the prison island, which is to save the old nose money, and every day there is a steady supply of grass felt, logs, bamboo, and fish and meat, and I have saved hundreds of taels of silver here in the past month, and I have kept a detailed account; However, the materials, equipment, piglets, sheep, etc., which we have delivered to the island these days, will cost thousands of taels of silver, and I will also keep a detailed account...... "Of course, Lin Jingzhong also knew that he would support the supplies to Prison Island at this time, and the return that Prison Island would bring to Jiyun Society in the future would far exceed the input at this time, but far from quenching his thirst, he wanted to overcome the difficulties in front of him, and he was inevitably a little eager to speak. Lin Tie is in Jiangning's self-reliance, and the clan can't manage it if they want to, even if there is no Seventh Lady here, no one wants to offend Gu Wuchen at this time, and they acquiesce in this situation, but it is also strictly forbidden for Lin Mengde to help here. Lin Mengde has been monopolizing power in Jiangning for a while, and there are some words in the clan that can be ignored, but in the end, he can't directly invest money here.

"It seems that you still have to think of money to get money," Lin Jian stood up and stretched, "You go first, find Cao Ye and Crow Master......"

*****************

A whole month has passed since Qu Wuyang's only son disappeared, no one has been seen, no body has been seen, and no one has come to blackmail, Qu Jiamingli has raised the hanging silver to five million yuan through Jiangning Mansion and Moling County, and the bonus from the dark market is as high as 10 million yuan, and there is no clue.

Of course, people will not get lost for no reason, not to mention that there are two experienced followers with Qu Wuyang's only son. Under the gloomy clouds shrouded in depression at the end of the moon in the Sanliuyuan of the Qu family, Qu Wuyang's temper became extremely great, and that day he made a small mistake to a Zhuang Ke who sent a night raid on the homeless, so he broke his legs with a cane for Qu Wuyang himself, or the others begged bitterly, so they barely left a life. Others knew that Qu Wuyang was uncontrollable and angry, and now the people waiting in Sanliuyuan were cautious and panicked, for fear that they would lose their lives if they made some small mistakes.

Qu Wuyang also tried his best to suppress the anger and worries in his heart every day, but after a hard life, he didn't even have anyone to inherit the family business and inherit the family lineage when he was old, so how could he feel at ease? He knew in his heart that there were many people in the clan who coveted this family business, don't look at Qu Wuming who came to ask for peace every day, but what did this cousin think, how could Qu Wuyang not know? Qu Wuming has three sons, four daughters, and one grandson, after his side is broken, what excuse does he have for not passing on the family business to Qu Wuming's family? Qu Wuyang even ignored the old face and asked the old wife to ask his daughter-in-law and the concubines and maids that his only son had played with on weekdays, but in this month, these women have become popular one after another, and the biggest hope is to find people. He also hoped that he would still be able to grow new sprouts from old trees, so he found a few good-looking women to come to the house, and cultivated them several times a day, and he did not hesitate to scatter the old bone shelves.

Qu Wuyang had just climbed down from a woman that day, his feet were half soft, he was really a little powerless, and the woman's unsatisfied look exacerbated the irritability in his heart, he slapped the woman and drove him out of the room, and sat up in his clothes, when he heard the old housekeeper running outside and shouting: "Master, the young master has a message, someone just threw the letter into the courtyard......"
