Lord of the House

Duke Tang died on a hunger strike in Jimo, and he died fiercely. He died of "the monarch wants the minister to die, but the minister has to die." Ya's affairs are not even seen. The imperial court sent a special envoy to Chongzhou to reward him, and Lin Fu came down the mountain without saying anything other than "Thank you for the grace of the emperor". After receiving the decree, he went up the mountain alone...

Lin Mengde, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Cao Ziang, Qin Chengzu, Wu Qi, Hu Zhiyong and others couldn't see the impact of Tang Haoxin's death on Lin Fu for a while, and even wanted to send someone to Shengsi to invite Fu Qinghe back. After all, Chongzhou Among the crowd, the most influential person to Lin Fu was not the others, but Fu Qinghe.

"Has the special envoy Guidan left? Give him two punches if he doesn't!" Zhou Pu walked in with a metal pocket in his hand, his scales and armor were clanging, and he saw Lin Mengde, Cao Zi'ang, Qin Zizu and others sitting in the hall. With a frown, Dama pulled a chair and sat down, threw his pockets on the table, and said, "What are you **** with? The old fox died happily and left all the problems here. He couldn't get down from the mountain because he couldn't figure out some things in his mind, what should we do and what else should we do, give him some time and it will be..."

"How far do you think your lord will finally think through?" Qin Chengzu asked, he knew that Zhou Pu seemed rude, and Dama Guandao was a general, not a counselor, but he also had a delicate mind. Besides, he was in Lin Fu. They have been around for the longest time, and can guess Lin Bie's mind better than them.

"How did I guess?" Zhou Pu spread his hands and said, "If I can guess, I will sit here with you every day, and I don't have to go out to lead troops in the wind and rain..."

"It's easier for you to treat us than you," Cao Zi'ang said angrily, "Then come here for you, and I'll help you lead the riding camp."

Wu Qi said worriedly: "Zhejiang soldiers are also secretly transferred from Jinhai, and suitable personnel are also selected to number 100 people. If you want to arrange them immediately, the adults also need to give a letter of approval, you can't delay it. Time flies by..."

Except for Lin Mengde and Hu Zhiyong who were still a little hesitant, at this time Cao Zi'ang, Qin Chengzu, Wu Qi, Zhou Pu and others, including Sun Jingxuan and Sun Jing's cousins, were not loyal to the court at all. People, make everyone hold a sigh of relief. Even if the timing is far from mature at this time, if Lin Fu wants to oppose, they will not hesitate to stop dissuading him and follow him.

Cao Zi'ang, Qin Chengzu, Wu Qi, Zhou Pu and others have persevered in their ten-year career as a pirate. This sentence was held in Wu Qi's chest, and he almost shouted it out in public, but Lin Fie didn't make a move, so they could only hold their breath.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps colliding with the moving armor pieces in the corridor outside. Qin Chengzu raised his brows, thinking that it was another general who led the troops, Xue Zhou Pu, who came to inquire about the news without authorization. After a while, I didn't expect Zhao Hu to come down the mountain.

Qin Chengzu, Cao Zi'ang, Lin Mengde and the others stood up together, knowing that there would be news about Zhao Hu coming down the mountain at this time, they stared at him and asked, "What did your lord order..."

"Your Excellency said that you will be filial to Duke Tang for three months, that you will not see guests within three months, and ignore official business. All official letters handed over to Chongzhou will be accepted and sealed by Li Xiancheng..." Zhao Hu said truthfully.

"..." Lin Mengde all pondered Lin Fu's intentions, and Qin Chengzu gave a high five and praised, saying a dirty word: "Okay, let his mother's world turn upside down, I will keep it, and see you in three months. It's not too late, I'm also worried that the adults will not be able to figure this out." I thought about Zhao Hu again, "Before you came here, who went to see the adults?"

Zhao Hu felt embarrassed for Lin Fu, but the people in the court who knew the secrets, even if it was a private matter of men and women, couldn't hide it from them deliberately. I went to talk for about half an hour... Now I want you to go up the mountain to talk about things."

Qin Chengzu, Cao Zi'ang and the others looked at each other and smiled. It's fine to know such a secret thing, so they don't talk about it. To be honest, Xunniang and Liu Yueer are very virtuous, but in this kind of thing, there is no such thing as A way to help Lin Bie.

Qin Chengzu discussed with Cao Zi'ang, Lin Mengde and others for a while, and then decided to let Li Shuyi officially announce the matter of Lin Fu's filial piety in the form of an official statement. , the court was also very sorry for Tang Haoxin's death, and could not stop Lin Fu from keeping filial piety for Tang Haoxin. Set this matter down first, and then discuss other things before going up the mountain.

Qin Chengzu, Cao Zi'ang, and Lin Meng rushed up to the mountain to discuss matters, but they didn't catch Lin Fu himself. Sun Wenwan, who was on duty on the mountain, said that Lin Fu took his wife Gu Junxun to Xisha Island and asked everyone to go to Xisha Island to discuss matters.

Lin Mengde asked suspiciously: "Even if he wanted us to go up the mountain, he went to the island first. What's going on on the island today, should he hurry over there?"

Hu Zhiyong and Sun Jingxuan were mainly responsible for the affairs of Xisha Island. Hu Zhiyong couldn't understand it, so he looked at Sun Jingxuan.

Sun Jingxuan also said suspiciously: "There is nothing special about the shipyard, maybe it's to go to see the kiln..."

Unless it is temporarily used once or twice, shipbuilding pays the most attention to the preparation of materials, especially for sea ships, and the preparation of materials is even more sloppy.

Generally speaking, the wood used for shipbuilding needs to be soaked in ponds for several ten days before being picked up and dried in the shade. Depending on the climate in different places, the drying time in the shade can range from half a year to two years. After repeated brushing with old oil, it can be used for shipbuilding. It will not deform or rot for a long time after being put into the water.

If the wood is not processed through these steps, the wooden ship will be immersed in seawater for more than ten days, the ship's board will be deformed and seepage into a leaky ship, and the structural strength will be fatally damaged.

The wood coated with old oil is flammable, and the old oil coated with the wood of the warships built by Jinghai Sea Camp must be mixed with a kind of alum to increase the flame retardancy.

Jin'an also had a boat yard for a long time, but before, there were many small boats and fishing boats, and there was no shortage of short materials and no big materials. There are still existing materials, no matter how big the investment is, the luxury family can only build a large number of small and medium-sized ships in a short period of time. .

General aniseed materials, in Jin'an's rainy and humid climate, can be used for at least two years, and luxury families lack the patience to build large ships.

Lin Tie was in the Chongzhou Dockyard and began to prepare materials half a year ago, but he had to strictly follow the traditional craftsmanship. The various materials used in the repairing of the ship were purchased from other shipyards, and some key ingredients were smuggled out from the Longjiang Shipyard by the officials of the Longjiang Shipyard.

After all, this is not a large-scale operation. It relies on bribes and steals to build Jinhai-class warships. It is possible to build one or two ships, and ten or eight ships. The officials of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry are not aware of the forces that are at odds with Lin Bie. , will also remind the Jiangning Ministry of Industry officials.

Chongzhou wants to build a large-scale sea ship in a short period of time. Lin Bing can only try to build a kiln on Xisha Island to artificially speed up the drying process of wood.

This is easier said than done. Many craftsmen in the world are inherited from the experience gained over hundreds of years. It is something that many people dare not think about to create a cellar that is easy to dry in the shade.

What kind of hot air needs to be maintained in the kiln, not just heat, but also adding water to maintain a little humidity. It is also a bad thing to crack the wood, how to stack the wood in the cellar, and how long does the kiln fire last? To maintain, how to ventilate the kiln room, there is no ready-made experience to follow, you have to explore slowly, some old craftsmen even * this way of destroying the tradition.

The wood prepared in the early days of Guanyintan Shipyard was used to test the drying kiln. Only a small part was qualified. A large amount of wood was discarded. The kiln room was also changed and changed in the past six months. Sun Jingxuan, who was in charge of this matter, felt distressed. At least there was some progress, otherwise he couldn't help but jump out against Lin Bing for doing such a mess.

Hearing Sun Jingxuan say that Lin Fu might go to the kiln, Qin Chengzu nodded slightly and said, "It is possible, the court and the Liang clan thought that they had occupied Shandong, and they had occupied the most crucial part of the Jinhai grain route, connecting Jinhai and Chongzhou. They are separated on two wings; they thought that Dengzhou water camp was in charge, so Denglai maritime merchants did not dare to follow us and threaten the imperial court... There is no one in the temples and palaces who can recognize Heishuiyang."

The more Cao Zi'ang and Lin Mengde thought about it, the more likely it was.

At present, the Jinhai grain route is mainly from the southeast Cao grain out of the Huaihe Estuary, and then through the Jiaolai River in Qingzhou, across the Shandong Peninsula, and then sent to Jinhai and other places by the Denglai Maritime Merchant.

Although the Denglai Haishang Group is close to the Dongyang family, almost all of them operate in the Bohai Bay. The Dengzhou Water Camp is located at the northeastern end of the Shandong Peninsula, blocking the Denglai Haishang forces in the Bohai Bay, as long as the Liang clan can control it. The situation of living on the Shandong Peninsula, on the surface, it seems that the general trend of the Dongyang clan to control the entire Jinhai food route alone seems to be resolved from now on.

In fact, it is not the case. It is Lin Fu's expedient plan to plan the Jinhai Food Road before going out of Huaikou and the Jiaolai River on the Shandong Peninsula.

Affected by the complex terrain in Qingzhou, the transport capacity of the Jiaolai River is very limited. Tang Haoxin was based in Shandong and organized a transport army of 20,000 people, advancing by land and water, and barely guaranteed the transport capacity of 250,000 stone per month.

Without knowing the difficulty and high cost of maintaining such a transport capacity in Shandong, you will not understand how Tang Haoxin devoted himself to the court, nor will he understand Tang Haoxin's steadfastness in begging for death.

Lin Fu's real plan for the Jinhai grain route is to go out from the river mouth and take the Heishuiyang waterway to directly transport the grain to Jinhai. Shandong County is just a supplement to the Jinhai grain route.

When the Liang clan masters Shandong, even if they can barely maintain the transport capacity of the Jiaolai River at all costs, it will be too easy for Chongzhou to play tricks on Huaikou. A boat sinking every three forks and five can destroy the heavily silted Huaikou, forcing all the grain to go out to sea from the river mouth. At that time, whether Caoliang went to Shandong, or went directly to Heishuiyang, how could it be the Liang family's turn to call the shots?

In the early stage of Chongzhou, Lin Fu kept encouraging the big households in Chongzhou to raise funds to build sea ships. This is the most fundamental purpose.

Denglai maritime merchants, threatened by Dengzhou water camp, may not choose to stand on Lin Fu's side at a critical moment, but if the Chongzhou maritime merchant group develops, they will have no choice.

But the key point is to fundamentally control the Jinhai grain route in the hands of Chongzhou, and Chongzhou must ensure that there is a transport capacity of 3 million stone a year.

Based on an average of six round trips per year, a Jinhai-class large-scale grain-carrying seagoing ship should only have 100 ships, not including spare ships.

Lin Fu Shouxiao didn't see guests for three months, ignored official business, didn't read official letters, but he didn't do anything. On the contrary, it is necessary to use the precious time of these three months to lay a firmer foundation for Chongzhou.

Three months later, the new Chongcheng, which is a mountain city, a water city, and a land body, will be basically completed, the new crane city will also be completed, the Shengsi defense line will also be completed, and the dredging of the Yunyan River will also be generally completed. After raising another 100,000 refugees, the conditions for reclaiming Hecheng are also met. At that time, it is possible to defend Chongzhou and watch the chaos in the world.

I also knew that Lin Fu suddenly went to the island at this time to see the baking kiln. Qin Chengzu, Cao Zi'ang, Lin Mengde and others had no choice but to take the stone path to Nanya Pier and take a boat to Guanyin Beach to meet him. My QT room is open!
