The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing lingered in Jinling City for ten days, and even came and took him away. It took only half a month to return to Hangzhou. Tu Xiaosan went out of the city for fifty miles to pick up his brother Ah Jing. I can go with you, if you leave, I won't be able to sleep well one day."

Chen Erqing smiled and said, "Brother Ah Qing, we have been out with the third brother for three days. If you don't come back again, the third brother will go to Jinling to pick you up."

Lin Jing said to Tu Xiaosan, "You are just talking."

Tu Xiaosan just looked at Brother Ah Jing and smiled, his eyes were full of joy.It wasn't time to talk on the road, and after returning home, Tu Xiaosan asked Brother Ah Jing to have a rest. He brought tea, water, and snacks to Brother Ah Jing, and couldn't help saying, "Why did you only come back in half a month?"

Lin Jing sipped his tea and said, "Didn't you just say that when you left, at least half a month, at most half a month."

"When we were together, I didn't realize that half a month was so long. Once you leave, how do you say that, if you don't see each other for a day, it's like three autumns."

Lin Jing almost didn't spit out the tea, and smiled, "It's a poem about a woman missing her lover."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Anyway, that's what it means." Then he asked Lin Jing, "Is it okay to go?" Tu Xiaosan is also a leader, so naturally he knows how to show off others.Their power in Hangzhou is far inferior to that of the Cao Gang.The main reason is that there must be Tu Xiaosan sitting in Hangzhou City, so Lin Jingfang took people to Jinling City by himself.Thinking about it now, Tu Xiaosan regretted it very much. He should have gone to Jinling City himself and let Brother Ah Jing stay in Hangzhou.Fortunately, he is still a man, so he actually asked Ah Jing to do such a difficult task. These days, every time he thinks about it, Tu Xiaosan regrets it.He intends to go to Jinling as well, so that he can bring Brother Ah Jing back. However, Tu Xiaosan is not such an impulsive person. Now, Brother Ah Jing has gone to Jinling. The peace of Brother Ah Jing.Now, after welcoming Brother Ah Jing back home, Tu Xiaosan finally put a small heart that was hanging high in the air back into his stomach.

Lin Jing took a rest and asked Tu Xiaosan, "Did Bai return the goods?"

"Repay it, and gave us a generous gift, worth a thousand taels of silver." Tu Xiaosan said, "Jinling has already replaced him, and now he has been replaced by a steward named Yan, and that steward Yan is already I've been here, and I said I'll wait for you to come back and set up wine together."

Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan talked about the matter in Jinling City, but they didn't say that Master Mu wanted to keep him.

When Lin Jing talked about his sworn marriage with Master Mu, Tu Xiaosan was not overjoyed, but felt a little distressed. He pulled Brother Ah Jing's soft and white hands and said, "Ah Jing, you want to marry the rivers and lakes?" The gangsters are called brothers, next time something like this happens, don't go. I will go."

Lin Jing smiled, "What's the matter? I'd rather go to worship Mu Dazhang by myself than you. If you swore to him, you will inevitably be burdened by the reputation of being sworn brothers when you gather the Cao Gang in the future. So, I swore to him That's fine."

Tu Xiaosan was speechless at the moment, and thought to himself, it is enough for people in this world to have Ah Jingru treat me like this.

Guanshi Yan, who came over this time, is a hundred times more knowledgeable about current affairs than Guanshi Bai before. Moreover, knowing that Lin Jing has sworn obeisance to Master Mu, Guanshi Yan called Lin Jing very affectionately, one brother at a time.Lin Jing found that now, the Cao Gang occupies half of the city's territory, and now the rules are the same as Lin Jing's and the others set up. They simply act as a buffer between the government and the people, and would rather let the merchants pay more money every month, and save money. These people in the government used to eat for free, so the ground in Hangzhou was clean, which was greatly improved compared with the previous time.

The disciple Lin Jing was not in a hurry to expand the territory, they seemed to be satisfied with only a small area of ​​Hangzhou, Lin Jing managed the government, but whenever the people in the city had any legal disputes, Lin Jing was anxious.Tu Xiaosan started the tea silk business and recruited staff by the way. Of course, the young and strong who have no family and no job can be recruited the fastest. After that, it is time to train the staff.

Tu Xiaosan taught some self-defense skills together with the underground staff gathered earlier and the staff recruited now.Tu Xiaosan has been outside the pass for many years, training these people is really a piece of cake, and as long as he is obedient, Tu Xiaosan has never been cheap when it comes to money.

Moreover, in addition to doing business, Tu Xiaosan also bought a large piece of suburban land, especially some mountainous land that no one wanted to buy and the land price was extremely low.It is said that the tenants there are tricky, and Tu Xiaosan is afraid that they are not tricky. Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan directly led the people into the mountain, subdued the entire mountain village, and then militarized these mountain people.On weekdays, half a day of training and half a day of farming, Tu Xiaosan only collected half of the land rent and left the other half to the tenants.You know, the current land rent is mostly seventy-three, with the owner getting seven and the tenants getting three.Occasionally, June Fourth was a good family, and now, Tu Xiaosan asked them to go five or five, and moved these tenants, saying, "If you know how kind you are, you would never dare to disrespect you before."

After Tu Xiaosan subdued these people, he sent some of them to the mountains for training.

After that, Tu Xiaosan started his own business in the south on this hill.

At the same time, Lin Jing began to reach out to the garrison under General Hangzhou.
