At the reception banquet, everyone loved mutton, but Lin Wanwan was the only one who had a special liking for seafood.
After going to Chang'an for more than half a year, she missed the pure, natural and pollution-free wild seafood here so much.
As for mutton, although it is also farmed greenly and can be considered a special quality meat in modern times, Lin Wanwan was tired of eating it in Chang'an. Only seafood is her eternal love.
Although Lin Wanwan is not here this year, the seafood caught in Linjiazhuang has a fixed market. Of course, the bulk still needs to be sold to the seafood merchants on the dock.
But the fine products can be transported to Xiaoxi Town by small boat and sold to the nobles in the town, among which the county magistrate Xiao Chong is their chief guest.
But generally speaking, the price of seafood is not expensive. If you only rely on the income from selling seafood, after paying taxes, everyone's life will still be tight.
But now with Lin Wanwan's various high-yielding grains, as well as subsidies from sweet potato vermicelli and cotton workshops, Linjiazhuang's life is already prosperous.
The cotton cloth produced in Linjiazhuang's workshop has been fermented over the past year and now has a reputation among wealthy people in Luan County.
In addition to nobles, wealthy businessmen also have a special liking for cotton.
The clothing of merchants was strictly regulated by the Tang Dynasty, and silk and satin were not allowed to be worn (it was strictly enforced in the early Tang Dynasty, but almost no one followed it from the middle Tang Dynasty onwards, and people only enjoyed it if they had money). Soft and high-quality cotton cloth could just satisfy their vanity.
.
Last year, the sales of cotton cloth mainly relied on the big merchants of silk and satin shops introduced by Xiao Chong. This year, before the production of cotton cloth has even started, several shopkeepers have already come to make reservations.
Even if Lin Wanwan no longer interferes with Linjiazhuang's affairs, if things continue at this pace, Linjiazhuang's life will get better and better, and sooner or later, it will be fully prosperous, and it will completely get rid of poverty and become rich.
And now that Lin Wanwan is back, the pace of development of Linjiazhuang will naturally be faster.
The Lin clan welcomed Lin Wanwan's return with the most enthusiastic songs and dances. The enthusiastic and unrestrained people of the Tang Dynasty, from nobles to common people, loved singing and dancing.
Lin Wanwan stood among the clan members, feeling everyone's support and love, and felt quite satisfied.
Being treated as a family treasure by this group of de facto ancestors makes Lin Wanwan happier than making money through her career, and her emotional value is extremely high.
She has a lot of things to be busy with during this time. Her medical studies in the Tang Dynasty can come to an end, but the armed troops she brought home and the group of women from all walks of life have to be arranged separately.
Keeping it in captivity in the Lin Mansion is like putting a beast in a cage. Sooner or later it will lose its wildness and fighting ability.
Lin Wanwan needs to find a training and hiding place for everyone.
There are not many fertile fields around Linjiazhuang, and most of them are mountainous areas.
The three nearby mountains are Lin Wanwan's territory and cannot be used for farming, but it is completely feasible to use them to build a training base.
When Lin Wanwan was in Xiaoxi Town, she invited Wang Duliu, who was accustomed to cooperation, to discuss the matter.
After listening to Lin Wanwan's architectural requirements, Wang Duliang looked embarrassed. It wasn't that he couldn't complete it, but that the Zhuangzi that Lin Wanwan wanted to build was quite sensitive and would cause trouble whenever he heard it.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the world was just settled, and all kinds of wastes were waiting to be revitalized. These things were strictly controlled.
The emperor focused on preventing the clans from developing secretly, and tried every means to reduce their strength. The recruitment of armed troops and the construction of annexes had to be reported to the court for approval.
Lin Wanwan didn't make things difficult for him and told him to just report it to him.
Anyway, the big boss in Luan County is Xiao Chong. He is different from ordinary county magistrates. Even the prefects of Yuezhou cannot suppress him. In Luan County, he is the one who covers the sky with one hand.
Lin Wanwan didn't think Xiao Chong would embarrass herself on such a matter.
The reality was as she expected. Not only did Xiao Chong approve it, he was also prepared to take the time to go to the site to check it out.
"Friends of Dual-Use Talents" contains knowledge about civil engineering, which can be put into practice.
One of Xiao Chong's abilities is to know people and make good use of them. He is not a hands-on person and likes to handle everything by himself.
Naturally, the original copy of the book sent by Lin Wanwan cannot be shared with others, but after copying it, it is not a problem for him to hand it over to his craftsmen who are attached to the Xiao family.
One person is poor in intelligence, and three people are wise in wisdom.
Lin Wanwan is also studying and reading these books, but she is not as enthusiastic as Xiao Chong.
She is currently only reading the one about militia training.
With the divine book in hand and the people recruited, it was time to let go and train. She also planned to invite the young people in the tribe to practice together.
After all, Chinese people have not caused trouble since ancient times, but they are not afraid of it either.
It is advisable to hang them among the barbarian mansions in Tougao Street to show that those who are thousands of miles away will definitely be punished no matter how far away they are.
This spirit has run through thousands of years of history and is endless.
Lin Wanwan wanted them in Linjiazhuang not to take the initiative to embezzle others, but they also couldn't be bullied by others.
Having no sword in your hand and having a sword and not using it are two different things.
Therefore, you must practice, you must practice.
What's more, the sea people in the tribe have to face the threat of pirates when they go fishing.
When she was in Chang'an, Lin Wanwan didn't dare to go too far. After all, although the manor belonged to the countryside, it was still under the emperor's feet.
There are too many talented people in Chang'an. Pei Xingjian, a young boss who has not yet matured, has been to the manor a few times and has seen Lin Wanwan's armed troops training once, and he has already begun to think deeply.
Not to mention those powerful bosses with vicious eyes. It is true that the ancients did not understand modern knowledge, but they are not stupid.
If modern people do not rely on the industrial environment to do things in ancient times, they will most likely not be able to defeat the ancient clans.
It is not possible to conquer the world just by having a gun, you will know this if you look at the history books.
However, Lin Wanwan's purpose in training these armed troops was not to overthrow Li Tang's world.
At least under the three mountains of Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Wu Zhao, she didn't intend to cause trouble. The difficulty level was too high.
After Li Longji's late An-Shi Rebellion, he could try to separate the regime. But by that time, Lin Wanwan estimated that she would have been reduced to a skeleton long ago, and she couldn't wait.
She is now training the armed forces just to have the power to protect herself and prevent the reckless and aristocratic forces with ulterior motives from having the courage to provoke her.
However, building a base in the mountains cannot be done in a short time. Lin Wanwan is not in a hurry and takes her time.
The night after the reception banquet, Lin Wanwan closed the door and returned to modern times.
She still needs to spend more time in the modern world and level up the time between the two worlds.
I stayed in Datang for a whole day and half of the night, and the night here in modern times is not over yet.
Lin Wanwan just happened to get into bed and take a nap. When she woke up, she could prepare to visit Grandma Lu's house.
Regarding the gift for Grandma Lu, Lin Wanwan had already made an agreement by asking Lu Shou. At the embroidery workshop in Xiaoxi Town, she chose one of the works that the embroiderer had carefully polished and embroidered for several months as a gift.
