Lord of the House

The eastern side of the prison island sprawled into the bushes in the water. Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others surfaced one after another, climbed onto the boat board, carefully folded the airbag made of pig clams, took the wine jar, and sat on the boat board with a big mouth. He poured wine into his mouth. In this cold spring weather, he had been in the water for so long, and his body was numb. After taking a few sips of wine, he wiped his body with a piece of **** soaked in wine. After a long while, he put on his clothes.

"Does this work?" The crow Wu Qi squatted aside and watched Ge Cunxin, the loach master, and they wiped their bodies with ginger.

"Immersed you in the water for an hour or two, and you'll find it useful..." The loach master Ge Cunxin put on his clothes with all his hands and feet, only then did he relax, grinned and joked with Wu Qi, he put the bow of the boat He picked up the ends of the cotton-core ropes piled up and looked at them carefully, and said, "This rope is easy to use, light, strong, and won't entangle people underwater..."

"It's good to use, but it's too expensive. Do you know how many pieces of cloth can be woven with these ropes? Besides, it will rot very quickly after being soaked in water." The bag was carefully removed from the fishing net, and his eyes watched the melee on the water far away from the gap between the bushes. Who would have thought that they just used simple things such as fishing nets, cotton core ropes, air bags made of pigs, floating bags, etc. Did you bring back the five heavy silver bags from four or five miles away? Of course, their boats were also ambushed on the water. At this time, stay away from the chaotic waters with other real fishing boats, so as not to bring disaster to the pond fish. I thought that the answer would not be revealed, as long as the Qu family Qu Wuyang would never know who was hiding in the dark and bit them hard.

"Where's Master Tan?" Ge Cunxiong packed up, came to Cao Zi'ang and asked in a low voice, some people still didn't know the identity of Lin Fu.

"On the shore," Cao Zi'ang said in a low voice, pouting in the direction of the estuary, "Said to go to the cemetery first..."

Ge Cunxiong glanced towards the southwest corner, his vision was blocked by the bushes. When they first came to Jiangning, Qin Chengzu, Cao Zi'ang, Zhou Pu, Wu Qi and others all admired the East Sea Fox, and Changshan Island was also called the tree pole under the name of the East Sea Fox. Ge Cunxiong and his elder brother had no choice but to rely on others. Donghai Fox still had doubts; after spending more than a month together, so many things happened, but Ge Cunxiong knew why Qin Cao, Zhou Wu and others who had been in Huai for many years respected Donghai Fox so much.

The six fast-oared warships of Jiangning Water Camp were full of soldiers and approached the prison island. The golden drums shook the sky, but the speed of the ships was slow. As the warships of Jiangning Water Camp approached within a certain range, all the bandit ships in the chaotic battle were on their own. Separated and walked away, I saw the soldiers of the water camp warships shooting arrows into the water, and those bandit ships had gradually disappeared into the depths of the twilight.

Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen shook their heads as they watched on the river embankment. With such a weak deterrent force, it is no wonder that the Jiang bandits and pirates are rampant and arrogant these days.

Although the inexplicably chaotic Jiang bandits were dispersed, Gu Wuchen was finally a little worried: if the prison island was attacked, I was afraid that Jiangning Water Camp could not be expected to rescue in time. He has seen the training of the prison guards on the island. These soldiers were replaced on the island after the prison was cleared. There are only 60 people in total. Compared with a month and a half ago, they are indeed more elite soldiers, but after all The number of people is too limited and the care is not comprehensive.

Gu Wuchen didn't watch the game of fake cats and mice on the water, and said to Lin Fu, "I'm afraid that the Hekou tragedy will not be investigated further, and it's not without benefits. The five divisions gathered to discuss the north bank refugees the day before, and the other prefectural divisions finally agreed. The guards guarding the estuary help guard against bandits..."

Lin Bie nodded, maybe in the eyes of many people and even Gu Wuchen, the thirty-six people who died in the Hekou massacre were insignificant. All prison guards can be transferred to Hekou in an open and aboveboard manner.

It is not yet time to reopen the prison city, but the guard guards will make up the gap and restore it to the level before cleaning the prison, and two more teams of 120 guards can be added.

Lin Fu didn't have much confidence in the Jiangning military households, especially the remaining Jiangning military households who were selected for the Jiangdong Admiral's Mansion and the Jiangning Guard General's Mansion. The sub-division of the military backup department came forward, and the military colony of the joint admiral's mansion took no pains to go to the north bank, and selected some strong and brave people from the refugees to fill the military households as prison guards.

Whenever there is a wave of refugees, the imperial court also encourages localities to select strong and brave people from the refugees to fill the military households. On the one hand, it can send fresh blood to the town army and the government army system. The dangers that migrant tides may bring to places.

"Okay," Gu Wuchen nodded in agreement. Most of the existing military households are old, weak and disabled soldiers, not to mention Lin Fu, he would not agree to send these old, weak and disabled soldiers to prison island to serve as prison guards. It is customary for refugees to enter the military household, and it is the duty of the subordinates of the Chase to prepare for military affairs. He said, "If you have time, let's go to the North Bank together..."

"I'd better let Yang Shi go. The south bank is so messy, I don't feel relieved to go away. Even if I go back to the city, if something happens here, it's still too late to come here; if I go to the north bank, the waterway for at least 40 to 50 miles is at least 100 kilometers away. It will take half a day." Lin Fu said, he didn't want to put people in this time, and there are standards for selecting Jianyong, at least in front of Gu Wuchen, the selection of soldiers and training should let Yang Shiduo perform, and this is also the case. It's a confession to Yang Pu.

"Alright," Gu Wuchen said with a smile, "I'll let Yang Pu come over then and see if Yang Shi's work can satisfy his father."

"How capable that kid is, the adults are also able to guide Lin Siyu well." Yang Pu said with a smile beside him.

"Yang Shi is really good at following Lin Bie," Gu Wuchen laughed and said to Yang Pu, "I'm afraid you didn't have confidence in Yang Shi's ability to lead soldiers so well..."

"..." Yang Pu smiled, he admired Lin Fu's ability and knowledge, and he was very polite when he met, but he always felt that he was separated from Lin Fu by a layer, maybe the talent and learning shown by the young man in front of him were too dazzling. Always make people feel uncomfortable.

Although Gu Wuchen had the privilege of entering the city gate at night, but Gu Wuchen was not someone who was used to abusing his privileges. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye and left, and went directly to the city on horseback from the estuary, surrounded by guards.

*********

The setting sun has already set on the eaves of the city tower in the distance, and the water surface has returned to calm. The Qu family members on the eastern embankment have left in anger. The six fast-oared warships of Jiangning Water Camp have also left, and a ship is leaving prison island. Go to the river mouth.

Cao Zi'ang, dressed in a gray cloth, stood at the bow of the boat. Brothers Ge Cunxin and Ge Cunxiong went to the shallow water to punt the boat with poles. When they arrived at the Zhutang Pier, Lin Bie, who was standing on the embankment, smiled slightly and asked someone to invite Lin Jingzhong.

Lin Fu accompanied Gu Wuchen to inspect the estuary of the prison island, but Lin Jingzhong did not go over to accompany him. After all, he was an insignificant person, so he would not join in the fun. Seeing that Lin Fu was looking for someone to call him to the thatched cottage, he instructed Qian Xiaowu to do things in his hand. He took a sip of water from the tank, washed his face, and walked towards the thatched cottage on the side of the river mouth.

It was said to be a thatched cottage, but it was actually a simple thatched shack, where Lin Fu and Liu Yueer had been living these days.

An enclosed house has been built on the Jiangdi side, and Lin Fu insisted that the refugees who recruited workers live in first, especially the families who suffered casualties in the Hekou tragedy.

Surrounding the house is not so much a large yard, but a defensive castle that can accommodate thirty to forty families. Although the surrounding house is also a layout of one house and one courtyard, the courtyard doors of all the houses open to the small square and public hall surrounding the center of the house. The back wall of each house also surrounds the outer wall of the house. The three-layered soil sandwiched wall with bamboo pieces as the wall reinforcement is much higher than the height of the crest of an ordinary house, and its firmness is much higher than that of an ordinary rammed earth wall. There are also small and steep watchtowers built around the four corners of the house. The construction of the surrounding house is from Ge Siyu's suggestion. It is to build a three-heaped earth courtyard wall. The construction period is short, and it is durable and durable after completion. Strengthen cohesion and organize these migrant workers more effectively.

Although only one enclosed house was built, the foundation of the second enclosed house was dug up, and the refugees who were used to living in the open air were not so particular about it. Three or four families crowded into a single house and temporarily settled in the enclosed house, which was a mess before. The shacks built must be cleared out to build yards, warehouses, and warehouses. According to Lin Fu's intention, Ge Wuyu also planned three main streets for this place, one along the south bank of the river, the other along the west bank of the Jinchuan River, and the other passing through the yard and the warehouse. The Mabian Road has always been connected to the Donghuamen Official Road.

The mind is very good, who doesn't want this place to eventually become a prosperous water and land dock? The key is to ask for money, Lin Jing muttered in the center, Lin Fu said that he didn't need to worry about money, but in less than half a month, Lin Jingzhong calculated that the money in his hand had consumed more than a thousand taels, and now there is only one left. The next 1,500 taels of cash can only support half a month's cost.

Lin Jingzhong walked into the thatched cottage and saw Zhou Pu, Wu Qi, Cao Zi'ang, and the Ge brothers were all there, and he was alerted outside the cottage and said, "Everyone is there, that's good. Longjiang Shipyard sent a letter to say yes. As long as you send the rest of the money over, you can take the boat out of the Longjiang Lake dock. You should think about where to raise the two thousand taels of money together... If the appointment period is over, don't say that the boat can't be mentioned, even before The 500 taels of silver we paid for the deposit cannot be taken back. Now is the worst time for the shipyard. The Longjiang Shipyard has added watertight cabins and reinforced many structures according to our wishes. It's 2,500 taels of silver. In previous years, if we remodeled it like we did, it wouldn't be less than 5,000 taels of silver..." He looked at a bag in front of Lin Fushu's desk. He walked all afternoon today and his feet were sore. , Seeing that Zhou Pu and the others were all sitting, and there was no free stool in the room, he touched the bag and asked Lin Bie, "What's here, can I sit?"

"Sit down..." Lin Bie said with a smile.

Lin Jingzhong felt something wrong when he touched it. He opened the bag and saw that it was full of silver ingots. Even if he found seven or eight of them, they were all standard fifty-two official ingots. It was in a dream, he squeezed his cheek lightly and looked around at everyone: "I'm not dreaming, I'm going crazy every day thinking about money." My QT room is open!
