The Founding of the Red Chamber

If you want Lin Jing to talk about it, there are people like Mu Qiuting who have the ability to talk about it.This is a top student from a poor family, but his vision is really lacking.Don't think that you have vision because you are able to sit on an equal footing with officials. From Lin Jing's point of view, whether it is the former leader of the Cao Gang, Mr. Peng, or the current leader, Mu Qiuting, are all turkeys. There are quite a lot of ambitions, and they are not small, but if you ask them how to rebel, no one can tell why.

Ambitious but lacking in strength, Mr. Peng's fate is the best lesson from the past.

Mu Qiuting is a smart person, he will not follow the old path of the Peng family, so Lin Jing intends to guide him to a new and correct path.

Mu Qiuting originally wanted to stay in Haiyan for a few more days, but after hearing what Lin Jing said about Heqiu's opening of the Escort Bureau and helping to train the staff, Mu Qiuting couldn't stay for a day. He thought about it for a while. The next day, I talked to Lin Jingtu's junior, "I thought, the business is important. I'll go back and select some brothers who can carry and fight, and let them come over. Ah Qing, help find someone to teach them. Ability. After the business is arranged properly, I will stay in Haiyan for a few more days and gain some knowledge. To tell you the truth, I have never seen a military camp in my life."

Lin Jing smiled and said, "Then it will be arranged, the eldest brother can just stay in Haiyan."

Mu Qiuting resigned from the two apprentices, Lin, and planned to return to Jinling to arrange for people to come.

Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan continued recruiting and training, but the soldiers had not yet been recruited, but the imperial court's weapons arrived one step ahead.Lin Jing also said, "It's rare to see the imperial court doing things so neatly."

Tu Xiaosan smiled, "Where the supply is delayed now, it probably won't delay Jiangnan."

As a result, when the two of them saw the weapons sent, Rao Xiaosan had always had a good temper, and his face turned black.Needless to say, Lin Jing, his temper was so unexpected that he didn't explode on the spot.The person who sent the weapons was from the General’s Mansion. Since his surname was Fang and his position was in the army, Lin Jing called him Brother Fang. Lin Jing said, “Hey, I know this matter has nothing to do with Brother Fang, but the things this time It’s too bad. Don’t say it’s compared with the Japanese’s steel swords and long arrows, it’s not as good as the ones used in the camp now.”

Fang Canjun sighed, "This is in front of General Lin and Li Wenshu. I have nothing to say. Now that Hangzhou is doing this, the generals have all gone to the Governor's Mansion. But what can be done right now? This is the one that came, and if you send it back, you don’t know when a new one will come.”

Lin Jing naturally knew this truth, and Tu Xiaosan said, "I'm afraid it will happen again and again."

Fang Canjun also heaved a big sigh, but, the imperial court sent these scraps of metal, even the governor could not do anything about it, let alone him joining the army at a young age.

But Lin Jing didn't intend to bear it. Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan said, "Third brother, you continue to recruit soldiers. I'll go to Hangzhou to have a look. What are we going to do about this?"

Tu Xiaosan said, "How about asking you to go alone, let's go together."

But Lin Jing said, "It's useless to make a fuss about this matter. You have an official position. If you move, the neighboring counties will all look at you. I'm afraid they will join in the fun. If you continue to recruit troops, I'll go to Hangzhou to inquire about it." I guess we may not be able to talk, but if we are really indifferent, I'm afraid we will be looked down upon in the future."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Let Erqing go with you."

"Alright."

Lin Jing was so busy that he didn't even bother to eat the most tender fish and shrimp in spring, so he rode a horse to Hangzhou.Lin Jing also saw the bustle of the Governor's Mansion, he looked at it coldly, most of the military officers from Fujian came over, and there were fewer military officers from Hangzhou.Lin Jing didn't ask to see Governor Zhang, he asked to see Mr. He.He You still pushed some affairs to meet Lin Jing, He You sighed, "Why are you joining in the fun?"

"If I want to join in the fun, I'll ask our general to come with us." Lin Jing cupped his hands, saluted, sat down, and said, "Let me come and have a look, our general is still training in Haiyan, and the five counties under his jurisdiction Nothing happened. I really don’t have an idea about the weapons. I don’t know whether to distribute them or not. I’m here to discuss with my husband.”

He You recently got it for a military officer in Fujian, one head and two big ones. Listening to Lin Jing's words, you know how sensible Lin Jing is. At this time, the most important thing is not to mess up.He You sighed, "If they were all like you, then there would be nothing to worry about."

Lin Jing said, "Our military officers in Zhejiang will not come here to cause trouble at this time. However, this Ministry of Industry is too shameful. The money from last time is worth it. Although it is a little less, we can support it by thinking of ways. This weapon is not an ordinary thing. How can we fight against the Japanese with this? Our general is not only distressed by his soldiers, but in the end, His Majesty only knows that he spent a lot of money to give Jiangnan a large sum of military equipment. In the end, the anti-Japanese If there is no progress, the governor is the one who has been tricked. No, right now, there will be someone in the local area who will make things difficult for the governor.”

He You knew that someone like Lin Jing was already a first-class understanding person.Like what Lin Jing said about the silver taels, the imperial court allocates 100 million silver, and if you have 50 silver in the south of the Yangtze River, you have to recite the Buddha's name. The people at the bottom can have no complaints, but Lin Jing will not speak out about such things. He knows that he will find a way to solve the problem do well.When it comes to ordnance, this is not something that can be made up for with money, and he is about to come over and talk about it.

He You said, "Even if you go to the Ministry of Industry to return it, it's not just a matter of time."

"But this is just the beginning. The use of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River is a big piece of fat in the eyes of many people. I wish everyone could take a bite. If you bear it this time, there will be a next time. Next time you bear it, It will be endless in the future!" Lin Jing said directly, "Anyway, the matter in Fujian has not been sorted out properly. The ready-made reasons, the failure of the military equipment given by the imperial court, will definitely affect the anti-Japanese war. To save the imperial court from spending money, you have to look at it. The result is that the governor is under great pressure."

He You was amused by Lin Jing's rascal's words, He You smiled, "I told you to stay in the Governor's Mansion, but you didn't stay. I think it's a pity that you are talented in Haiyan. You are suitable to fight against those old foxes in the court. Go up a fight."

Lin Jing said, "I'm afraid of them? All of them are full of selfish intentions! Seeing that Tian'er is thinking about fighting for power, he doesn't think about it. It's just such a pot. If you want to eat more, you should put more into the pot." It’s right to add some rice, I’ve never seen anything like this, I wish I could smash the pot for one or two mouthfuls of rice! Those guys are stupid, seeing them makes me upset!”

He You said, "You said it happily, things are not as easy as you think."

Lin Jingdao, "Your Excellency is too good-natured, you only worry about offending people and it's hard to deal with it. But in this world, there is nothing that can be done without offending others. If you want to do something, if you want to achieve yourself, you must sweep away the corpses, so that you can have yourself." The seat." Lin Jingxin said, what is so difficult about this, the person who can propose Governor Zhang as the governor of the two places must be a high-ranking official in the court and a confidant of the emperor.As for the matter of Jiangnan ordnance, as long as Governor Zhang is willing to speak up, there will naturally be someone who can solve it for Governor Zhang.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Jing said softly, "Your Majesty can serve as the Governor of two places in order to fight against the Japanese. It can be seen that His Majesty is a wise ruler with ambitions for revenge. I always feel that Your Majesty is so talented and powerful." A person who is a real person may not be willing to see his eyes being fascinated by the colorful flowers. In this world, as long as he is a sensible person, who would not want to see the real world instead of the world after being whitewashed by others?"

Lin Jing wanted to say anything anyway, and let's just listen to his tone.The high officials of the court and the current His Majesty always speak with a bit of respect when others say it.Lin Jing was different, Lin Jing said what he wanted to say, anyway, the tone was not far from his family's second uncle.Because his tone was so natural, He You didn't feel that there was anything wrong.After Lin Jing resigned, He You looked back and couldn't help laughing, "This kid is really arrogant." Views.

In He You's view, this is simply an excellent opportunity.

It can be used to disturb the hearts of the military officials in Fujian, but how can people know that Jiangnan is not an easy place to handle.Lin Jing babbled at He You's place for a while, and said when he left, "Sir, I will return to Haiyan tomorrow, so I won't come to say goodbye to you. Look at me, I came back in a hurry, and I didn't bring any local products for my husband."

"Stop teasing me about your cleverness. You are here to inquire about crimes. What kind of souvenirs do you bring?" He You joked and asked Lin Jing, "Since you are here to inquire about news, don't stay for two more days to wait for news. "

Lin Jing smiled and said, "There are still a lot of things to do in Haiyan, besides, there is no need to wait anymore. After listening to my long-winded conversation today, sir, I know that I have a good understanding with him."

"You're good at acting." He You said, "Put those weapons in your treasury first, take a closer look, and if there are any useful ones, pick them out and use them first. If they really don't work, put them away first .”

Lin Jing responded positively, and said with a bow, "Sir, then I will go back."

"Go." He You personally sent him two steps, Lin Jing hurriedly stopped him, and walked away quickly after leaving He You's house, showing that he was really in a hurry to go back to Haiyan.

He You still likes the vitality of Lin Jing's school.

As for how the Governor's Mansion operates, Lin Jing doesn't know, but within a few days, Minister of the Ministry of Industry was sent to prison, and his home was directly ransacked.Many unusable weapons in the south of the Yangtze River were also recalled to the court, and new ones were prepared to be issued.Tu Xiaosan held a forged prescription and looked back and forth under the lamp for a long time.Lin Jing leaned over, took a look, and said, "Why did you silence this treasure?" What Tu Xiaosan was looking at was none other than the forging method of the Japanese sword that Shui Li had worked so hard to get from the Japanese country.

Tu Xiaosan said, "I was thinking, how about handing over the recipe for forging a knife to the governor, tell me?"

"This is our lifeblood." Lin Jing was not very happy.

Tu Xiaosan said, "The fight against Japanese pirates depends on the flesh and blood of the soldiers, who are not raised by their parents. With this method, if one person can be killed less, it will be worth it."

Lin Jing thought for a while, "I know you have good intentions, but let me tell you the truth, you have seen what the Ministry of Industry did before. How many good knives can you really make with your recipe? , is also unknown."

"At least we have a clear conscience, we did our best to fight against the Japanese," Tu Xiaosan said.

"Give it up." Lin Jing muttered, "Third brother, you are so kind."

Tu Xiaosan smiled, "I'm not for the imperial court, I'm for the soldiers. We recruit young men from eighteenth to thirtythirties. All of them are the pillars of the family. They are the same as us. In one match, those who can win all beards and tails can be regarded as worthy of them."

"I haven't fought yet, how can I say such unlucky words."

"Suddenly thought of it." Tu Xiaosan said, "I read in the mansion newspaper that the former minister of the Ministry of Industry had plagiarized his home. In fact, I don't quite understand the thoughts of those high-ranking officials. It stands to reason, such a high-ranking official, why still Do you want to reach out to the ordnance?"

Lin Jing said, "This is related to the administration of officials in the court. Why is it that all sages pay the most attention to the administration of officials? Do you think it is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry who is short of this money? Not all of them! Over time, it has become a case. Your Lord Shangshu is not short of this little money, but the people below rely on this oil and water to feed and raise their children. If you don’t tell them to pick up their skins, they will make trouble if they can’t survive. So, sometimes, not necessarily Which adult is greedy for Ruosi. It's just that as time goes by, it has become a rule. The official administration is to break this rule. One who stretches out his hand, chops one. Two stretches out his hand, chops two. Facing the instability of the entire bureaucratic system, officials need to be in control. If they are governed too harshly, officials will rebel. If they are not governed, the court will beat them to the bone. Therefore, the sage said, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. It’s too big to burn the pot, and the fire is too low to add raw food, the difficulty lies in getting it just right.”

Tu Xiaosan felt that Lin Jing's words were reasonable.

But this time, Tu Xiaosan surprised Governor Zhang, who never expected that Tu Xiaosan would get the secret recipe for forging Japanese pirate steel knives.Even Mr. He Youhe felt that Tu Lin and the two were simply the Governor's lucky stars!

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Question: Regarding Mr. He You's opinion that the apprentice Lin Jing and you two are the lucky stars of the governor-general, what do you think?

Tu Xiaosan: Ah Jing's feelings are my feelings.

Q: Lin Jing, what do you think?

Lin Jing: I hope that Mr. He will think like this in the future~
