(Wake up in the early morning, can't wake up to code a chapter first, ask for a red ticket!) ）

Returning to Chongzhou and passing through Jiangmen, Lin Tie made the patrol fleet return to Chongzhou to rest first, while the Jinhai anchored in Jiangmen, and Lin Tie took Song Bo and Wang Chengfu to land in Jiangmen to see the changes in the past six or seven days.

Jiangmen Island has not changed much from the near shore, but when he passed through the miscellaneous forests, Wang Chengfu saw that Jiangmen had changed a lot in just six or seven days.

Zhao Hu led 300 soldiers to garrison Jiangmen with the deputy commander of the Chongzhou Infantry Battalion and the captain of the prison school.

Duting Courtyard originally only had the north gate, and now after forcibly taking away most of the courtyard as a prison guard camp, it also opens a new door in the south wall to enter and exit, and Jiangmen Duting occupies half of the courtyard and does not interfere with each other.

Only six or seven days of work, the south gate of more than two zhang of the Yuanmen arrow tower is newly built to more than one zhang high, the site is piled up like a mountain of sand, stone, bricks and wood.

The miscellaneous forest on the south side of the Duting Courtyard has cut down a large open space, the beacon fire platform of the square twelve zhang is built in the middle, there are more than two hundred steps away from the Duting Courtyard, there are four or five hundred steps away from the river bank, it has been rammed to nearly two zhang high, the periphery is covered with bricks, it can be imagined that after the cause, it is so magnificent.

In addition to the more than 300 soldiers who came earlier, at this time, there were more than 300 exiled prisoners serving sentences in Jiangmen who were cutting wood and taking soil outside Nanyuanmen, and piling up soil and ramming platforms, Wang Chengfu had guessed that Lin Lian forcibly occupied Jiangmen, intending to place the exiled prisoners, but after six or seven days, the weather changed here, and he also secretly sighed that Chongzhou's movements were so fast, thinking that Lin Lian was really an enterprising person, and he didn't drag his feet at all.

The beacon tower should be rammed against the river bank to be more convenient to look at the river mouth, but the river bank on the periphery of the Hecheng grassland is a naturally formed sand bank, in case of heavy rain and rapids, it is easy to collapse, the terrain of the river bank is unstable, and the beacon tower can only be built again at a distance from the river bank, but it is enough to build to seven or eight zhang high.

Song Bo knew about the military affairs, knew the construction of the city, looked at the layout of the beacon fortress and the capital pavilion, looked at the forest tie built only two zhang high, just with the forest top of the tower looking at the distant river, tentatively asked: "The beacon fire tower and the capital pavilion are laid out with horns, attacking and defending, which is conducive to defense, if the city is built here in the future, it will also be very convenient, does Lord Lin think so?" ”

Lin Jian smiled slightly, and was noncommittal, some thoughts can't be hidden, and people with a discerning eye can see it at a glance, some things can't be done, just do it.

Wang Chengfu's heart jumped, and he also looked at the distant river, and he could somewhat understand Lin Bin's thoughts.

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

The land on the other side of the river, originally called Yudong Grassland, is half smaller than Hecheng Grassland, but it is under the jurisdiction of Weiyang Salt and Iron Division with Hecheng Grassland, which provides forage for the frying of sea boiled salt in the Lianghuai Salt Farm.

In the third year of Qingyu, Wang Kui, deputy envoy of the Weiyang Salt and Iron Division, wrote to the court, saying that the river and the sea are dangerous, the people of Yudong grassland can transport grass across the river and the sea and the two Huai salt fields, there is the risk of capsizing, drowning every year, less than a dozen people, more than 100 people, please cut Yudong grassland, belong to Haiyu County, relocate the people to reclaim, in order to increase taxes.

Wang Kui's letter was supported by Chen Zhun, the secretary of the household department. After years of controversy, Chen Zhun died of illness in office, he thought that this matter was over, but when Emperor Delong succeeded to the throne, this matter suddenly came to a conclusion, and the special purpose was to remove the Yudong grassland, but all the land was opened to Yudong Renshou Palace, a total of more than 4,000 hectares of farmland, and the original grassland households were all converted into Gongzhuang households.

Renshou Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager Liang, and the so-called Renshou Palace Village is actually a kind of Huangzhuang. Huangzhuang is the Zhuangtian directly operated by the inner court, and there are three categories in the world, in addition to the emperor's Zhuangtian, there are also the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince Zhuangtian. The crown prince Zhuangtian is the East Palace Zhuangtian, the Queen Mother lives in Renshou Palace, the Queen Mother Zhuangtian is also known as Renshou Palace, and the annual harvest of the silver is also called the silver of Renshou Palace.

Yudong Palace Village is directly operated by the eunuchs sent by the Queen Mother to manage the village, and nearly 20,000 taels of silver are collected every year from Renshou Palace, which is also at the disposal of the Queen Mother. In addition to the eunuchs in charge of Zhuang, there are hundreds of people such as official schools, Zhuangtou, and Zhuangding, and more than 20,000 Zhuanghu Dingkou.

Quite strangely, Yudong Gongzhuang has also been invaded by the East China Sea Kou in the past two years, but the eunuchs in charge of Zhuang all said that they successfully repelled the invading Kou, and the loss was very small, and more than 20,000 taels of silver were exported to Beijing every year as usual.

It is not surprising to say that there are more than 4,000 hectares of fertile land in Yudong Gongzhuang, and the farmers cultivate and exploit them very much, and often harvest them in a year, and they have to take away seventy percent of them. There are more than 4,000 hectares of fertile land, and the annual silver of Renshou Palace is definitely far more than 20,000. No matter who the drifted silver ends up with, these people will not want to understand that the accounts will be published to the world, and even if they suffer heavy losses to the pirates, they can only be broken teeth and blood.

Yudong Gongzhuang is very big, the nature is special, the county government and the county department and even the six departments and nine Qings can't manage it, it is self-contained, and outsiders can't see the reality in the palace. Wang Chengfu has been in Jiangmen for six years, facing Yu Dong across the river, and he can also see some clues from many details, Yu Dong Palace Village is at least not as simple as it seems.

Removing the Yudong grassland and placing the palace village, the Haiyu clan is not without any benefits.

The second prime minister, Chen Zhun, jumped off the grassland in order to evacuate Yudong, how could it be the risk of merciful grassland households crossing the river and crossing the sea? In the past 20 years, the scale of Haiyu Chen's mulberry orchards on both sides of the Dongjiang River has increased sharply to more than 2,000 hectares. Today, with the financial resources of a clan, it can support the township camp of five or six thousand people, which shows that the wealth of the Chen family is that there are not many people who can compare with it when looking at the world.

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

On the surface, Lin Jian built a beacon fort in Jiangmen to prepare for the pirates, and also revealed his intention to use the land of Jiangmen to settle the exiled prisoners. Considering the large number of exiled prisoners who need to be placed in the future, and the small number of conditions provided by the imperial court and the county secretary to Lin Lian, even if some people see that Lin Jian has the intention of using the land of Jiangmen to settle the exiled prisoners, as long as it is not too excessive, it is not intolerable.

However, Lin Bin's goal is the entire Hecheng grassland! Wang Chengfu saw Lin Lian's demeanor looking at the south bank of the river, and this thought suddenly jumped out of his heart, and he secretly felt that he was really ambitious and courageous.

The area of Hecheng grassland is more than twice that of the original Yudong grassland, and even if a large area of land is divided into Neiting Zhuangtian, it will inevitably be able to secretly encroach on a large amount of land and become its own.

Lin Jian was able to obtain three or four hundred thousand mu of private land from the Hecheng pasture with fertile land and good water conservancy, not to mention that the Jiangdong Left Army with a scale of six or seven thousand people could afford to raise it, and even if the strength of the Jiangdong Left Army doubled, it could barely cope with it.

But how can Lin Tie resist the resistance of various conveniences? You must know that the Hecheng Grassland needs to provide seven or eight million pieces of hay for the Lianghuai Salt Farm every year, and the Lianghuai Salt Farm provides the imperial court with a salt tax of two million taels of silver every year, which is almost the lifeblood of the imperial court.

Lin Jian retracted his thoughts, turned around, and saw that Song Bo and Wang Chengfu around him were thoughtful, and asked with a smile: "The two of you stand on the high platform with me, dare to ask: Is it possible?" ”

Song Bo didn't say anything.

Wang Chengfu's heart jumped, Lin Lian's words were ambiguous, but if the guess was true, Lin Lian was asking about the strategy of the grassland in Hecheng, and he blurted out: "You can slowly figure it." After saying this, he suddenly regretted it, the grassland of Tuhe City should be the secret mind that Lin Jian hid in the deepest part of his heart, how could he blurt out a word? really pushed his head under Lin Bin's knife edge alive.

Lin Lian glanced at Wang Chengfu, smiled, and didn't say anything, at this time, Wang Tianyi, the head of Jiangmen, came to visit. Although it is not a government, Wang Tianyi is only the commander of the capital, the deputy lieutenant of the feather cavalry, the military attache from the ninth grade, and the official rank of Lin Tie is too different, if he is charged with disrespect, it is enough for Wang Tianyi to eat a pot.

Lin Tie did not embarrass Wang Tianyi, and also sent him a good knife captured this time, and gave him a few instructions, asking Wang Tianyi to lead Yanding to cooperate with the Chongzhou infantry battalion to guard the Jiangmen, and rode around the Jiangmen area, and without saying anything, he boarded the boat and returned to Chongzhou.

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

Fortunately, the east wind is in full bloom, sailing against the river, the speed is not slow, before dusk, Jinhai landed at the South Cliff Wharf of Zilang Mountain.

Lin Jian asked people to take Wang Chengfu to the Donglu Zen Monastery for a while, and he led Song Bo directly to the mountaintop Zen Monastery to see the luxurious aunt and sister-in-law.

The new city has just opened the wall foundation, the Jinghai Metropolitan Supervisor Department Yamen concentrated in the Donglu Zen Monastery to act official business, the Chongzhou infantry camp, the cavalry battalion, including the second battalion of the Jinghai Sea Battalion, are also mainly stationed in the Dongshan area, everyone has been accustomed to the Donglu Zen Monastery called the Dongya, and the Beishanmen Zen Monastery that acts as a temporary county ya, is called the Beiya. Lin Jian lived in the Zen Monastery on the top of the mountain, and the women's camp and the personal guard camp were stationed in the meantime, which was for the inner house.

The autumn day is cool, Song Jia has seen the Tang copy, and he feels that there is no news that makes people feel comfortable in various places, and he has nothing to do, so he went to the south cliff to relax his heart, and saw Lin Tie coming up the mountain under the support of the guards, and he was not afraid that Lin Tie would find out from a distance, so he leaned on the stone platform to look at him.

When Lin Jian and the others came closer, Song Jia suddenly felt that the person next to Lin Jian was so familiar, and when he looked at it again, tears fell. Although she and Song Bo were not born to the same mother, among many brothers and sisters, they have the best relationship, how could he go with Lin Lian? Even though Song Jia knew that it was impossible, she still couldn't help but have some extravagant hopes in her heart, hoping that her father and the Song family would not abandon her as an abandoned son.

Lin Jian looked up and saw Song Jia sitting on the side of the stone platform in green, with tears on her face, a rare and pitiful appearance, which made her face more and more beautiful, and he made the left and right guards return to the camp, and said with Song Jia with a smile: "Brother Song traveled to Jianghuai, I was fortunate to meet him in Jiangmen, so I invited him to Chongzhou as a guest...... I won't get in the way of your brother and sister getting together. ”

Lin Jian left Chongzhou for seven or eight days, and he also missed the beauty in the house, and left Song Bo in the south cliff, he went to find Liu Yue'er and Xiaoman.
