60 The sea is like a vassal

The news of the northern army's victory has already spread throughout the city, and the officials even exaggerated the power of the "Xuanwu Chariot" and "Phoenix of Nirvana", and the common people were very excited.

After receiving the good news from the north, Xie Ling couldn't help but said to Jiang Lin: "Shaoqing, you are really amazing, the three cunning rabbits."

"Where is it, it's just a small series of tricks." Jiang Lin shook his finger at him, with a look of indifference on his face, but his heart still floated with joy.

Even he himself thinks that this operation is very powerful.

First captured Ye Fengqiu with fake news, and then used Zhan Zhao as a cover, causing the people behind it to mistakenly believe that "Phoenix of Nirvana" was sent to Kaifeng Mansion by Zhan Zhao.

But in fact, what Zhan Zhao transported away was nothing more than an old cannon that Bai Yutang had researched by himself in the early years.Jiang Lin took a chance to paint the cannon with a layer of green paint, and then destroyed its internal structure, allowing Xia Jun to taste its power for himself.

And what no one expected was that from the night Zhan Zhao left until Jiang Lin and the others said goodbye to the Five Rats, the "Phoenix of Nirvana" was never in any other place, and had always been on Xingkong Island in the north of Songjiang.

Even Bai Yutang was kept in the dark by him.

After learning the specific cause and effect, Bai Yutang shoved Jiang Lin violently, and said, "Just talk about it, teach others to do all the hard work."

Jiang Lin winked at him: "Bai Sizhi knows how to love others, why don't you go and condolences to the heroes?"

Bai Yutang snorted softly when he heard the words, but he also admired Jiang Lin very much in his heart.

All of Jiang Lin's actions before and after were bold and careful, beyond everyone's expectations, but they worked miraculously on the battlefield, catching Xia Jun by surprise.

At this time, Li Yuanhao had just proclaimed himself emperor, and it was time to make a name for himself.They repeatedly provoked in the north, wanted to take away the secret treasures of the Four Elephants, and joined forces with scum like Xu Zhizhou to steal Song's military pay, all in order to weaken the Song army's combat power.

It's a pity that stealing chickens won't make a lot of money. Instead, their own people encountered the beautiful cannon that Jiang Lin personally built for him, which broke their morale.

However, Di Qing, who they designed to frame him, instead got a temporary command post, led the "Nirvana Phoenix" to victory in this battle, and completely dispelled all the rumors that he was inappropriate.

When someone dares to make rumors about him, he has to weigh it up, whether the person who can get the protection of the Four Elephant Secret Treasure is the so-called rebellious officials and thieves, or the talented and good generals of the Song Dynasty.

After entering the city, the group dispersed separately.

Jiang Lin invited Su Xun's family to his home as guests, and when he first entered the yard, Xiao Shitou, who was studying, immediately ran to the door.

"Brother Lin, I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow!"

"I was afraid that you would get bored at home alone, so I specially taught the helmsman to speed up." Jiang Lin picked up the small stone, raised it up and then put it down, and said with a smile, "It feels like I haven't seen you for more than half a month. It feels like you've grown High? How is the task entrusted to you going?"

"It's almost finished." Xiao Shitou was happy to see him, his cheeks were flushed, but he realized that he was shy when he saw Su Xun following him, and asked quickly, "Brother Lin, who are these..."

Jiang Lin turned around and introduced to him: "This is Mr. Su Xunsu, who is knowledgeable and talented, followed by his two sons, who are about your age. You can play with them more."

Jiang Linyou noticed that Xiao Shitou didn't seem to have any friends of his age, and his personality was relatively introverted.

He couldn't take care of these problems when he was busy, and he was worried that the child would not be happy, so he could only find ways to find more friends for the other party.

If it wasn't for Shen Kuo's father's stable job in Langzhong, Jiang Linben would have wanted to bring that boy to Xiaoshitou as a companion.

The two of them happened to be moving and quiet, and they both liked to study knowledge and think, and they seemed to complement each other very well.

but……

Looking at the bright-eyed and well-mannered little Su Shi, and the somewhat familiar little Su Xun, Jiang Lin couldn't help smiling, and said to Little Shitou, "Take good care of the two younger brothers, and take our new neighbor to see the house. "

Xiao Shitou nodded, Su Xun who was at the side didn't react, and said, "...What house? What neighbor?"

Jiang Lin smiled at him, and said: "I bought a piece of land in Kaifeng Mansion, and brought two houses. It's not too big, but it's not far from Guozixue. If you don't dislike it, you might as well live there when you're in Beijing." In a small courtyard."

"How did this happen?" Su Xun couldn't help but be surprised under his heartbeat.

It is said that the house price in Kaifeng Mansion is extremely high, and it is hard to find a rent. This Jiang Shaoqing has accumulated such wealth at such a young age. He can buy a piece of land in the capital where every inch of land is expensive, and he is not far from Guozixue?

After being persuaded by Jiang Lin to go to the place, Su Xun looked at the new soil with rainwater on the land, and finally understood: "The land here..."

"That's right," Jiang Lin nodded, "The terrain here is not good, it often accumulates rain, and it is easy to be flooded, so Jiang took advantage of it."

Hearing this, Su Xun frowned, and said in disapproval: "Jiang Shaoqing may not know something. Su traveled abroad in his early years, so he understands this kind of terrain a little bit. It is rainy in Beijing, and the rain in recent months has been even worse. Flooding, if Jiang Shaoqing wants to use this land to build a house, I am afraid that one will be built and the other will be destroyed..."

Su Xun's words were a little blunt, but Jiang Lin smiled after hearing it: "Everyone else thinks so, that's why this land has been unsalable for so long."

"You... have long known why this land cannot be sold?"

"Of course." His money didn't come from the wind, and every penny would be spent wisely.

Jiang Lin would do this, of course because...

"In fact, Jiang has already figured out a countermeasure." Jiang Lin raised his hand and pointed at the craftsmen who were busy in the distance, "I have already taken precautions against the problem of rainwater."

Looking in the direction he pointed, I saw a group of workers digging a pit in one place, and then pulling the soil to another place with a cart.

Su Xun couldn't help but startled.

The younger Su Zhe was a little puzzled and said, "Is this the legendary 'tear down the east wall and repair the west wall'?"

Jiang Lin heard the words and said with a smile: "Mr. Su is not worried that the rain will flood Jiang's land? Then Jiang dug a lake here in advance, and gathered all the rainwater in one place to see where it can be flooded."

Only now did Su Xun understand Jiang Lin's intentions.

The accumulated rainwater will flood the house, so it is better to dig a lake directly to accommodate the water.The excavated soil can be used to fill other low-lying places, directly changing the original geography of the land.

This piece of land was bought by Jiang Lin at a low price, and now there are no shortcomings in terms of terrain, not to mention the advantage of its proximity to Guozixue, with such a large area, it is difficult to find another piece of land in Kaifeng that can compare with it place.

Jiang Lin used his limited manpower and material resources to obtain such a good piece of land directly, and became the top "landlord" in the Kaifeng Mansion.In the future, as long as this place is slightly developed, it will become the most sought-after landlord in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Jiang Lin flicked his fan, and said to Su Xun, "So Mr. Su doesn't have to feel sorry for Jiang, Jiang is not a person who can lose money in business."

Although Su Xun was a scholar, he couldn't help admiring Jiang Lin's mind.However, the first thing he thought of was the other party's affection for providing him with an apartment, so he said: "But Jiang Shaoqing provided such a good apartment to Su's family for no reason, and Su really felt that he was grateful..."

"Sir, don't say that." Jiang Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, it's not that Jiang has no intention of inviting your whole family over."

"Jiang Shaoqing, but it's okay to say."

Jiang Lin was not polite: "It's like this, Jiang wants to build some buildings on this land for literati and elegant guests to gather. Recently, spring is coming, and a large number of young talents have gathered in the city. Jiang wants to Take this opportunity to collect some good names for these houses, but there is still a lack of an article to help Jiang create momentum."

Su Xun somewhat understood what Jiang Lin meant, and was flattered for a moment: "So Jiang Shaoqing wanted Su to write this article."

"Mr.'s article is outstanding. If Jiang can get an article written by you, he will be very lucky." Jiang Lin was not guilty at all when he flattered the boss, and he thoughtfully said "Of course, Jiang knows that you are still working on the genealogy and is extremely busy. If you can't promise Jiang..."

Su Xun said naturally: "Jiang Shaoqing, don't worry, Su will definitely do his best."

·

With Su Xun's promise, Jiang Lin became more clear about what he wanted to do.

After buying such a large piece of land, Jiang Lin naturally intended to build a house and collect rent.But he was after more than that.

This place is close to Guozixue, so there are good opportunities to get in touch with the masters and students in the school, as well as various literati.If Jiang Lin wanted to turn this place into a literary sanctuary with a strong cultural atmosphere, he must gain the support of the students.

In the days when he was away, taking advantage of the review craze before Chunwei, through the management of Xiaoshitou and Wenyuan, and the help of Peng, "Xueba Notebook" has already had a certain influence among the current candidates, and it has also made a contribution to it. Jiang Lin had accumulated a certain amount of start-up capital, and asked him to toss about the business on this land.

His current plan is to release a reward message in Kaifeng Mansion, asking talented scholars to name his new building, and a good name that is adopted will get a generous bonus.

After Chunwei, he will invite talented scholars who have received bonuses to participate in a poetry meeting to better publicize this real estate.

The officials seemed to know that he wanted money at the moment, so they quickly ordered Jiang Lin to be rewarded for his meritorious service in handling the case.

In just a few months, this was the third time that Jiang Lin had received a reward. The little eunuch who gave him the gift was very knowledgeable, and came up to him and told him how the officials praised him for being young and promising, with a promising future.

Jiang Lin felt that his gesticulation was a bit amusing, and he didn't show a particularly flattered look, so the little eunuch gave him a strong dose of medicine: "Shaoqing, don't think I'm joking with you, when will we Have you ever seen His Majesty treat others so well? Even your father, who is guarding the border, wrote a letter saying that he wanted to rest and go to Beijing to see you, and the officials agreed. But it’s as difficult as the sky!”

Jiang Lin was still counting the money silently, but when he heard this, he was shocked.

"Who do you think is coming to see me?!"

The little eunuch was also taken aback by his reaction, and said, "Shaoqing, are you very happy to hear that your father is coming back to see you?"

Jiang Lin was not feeling well.

As if a revolving lantern flashed through his mind, he only thought of one person who could help him.

brother!help me!
