She Feihu, Song Jia, Du Rong and all the guards went to the end of the river. She Feihu frowned slightly. He originally wanted to build a dock here in the name of Qingfengxing. The warehouse would not disturb anyone. How could he expect that there was Lin Fu?
It's really tricky to work with them.
"Do you think Lin Fu can know our intentions?" She Feihu asked.
"Why can't you tell? Mr. Du is with us. Is there any look of surprise on his face?" Song Jia got on the horse without anyone's help. She was wearing turn-on trousers. When she stood on the ground, she looked like
It is no different from an underskirt, but the crotch is separated, making it easier for women to wear it while riding horses. "Otherwise, there is no need to directly disclose to us their intention to build a pier here..." When we arrived on the shore, the wind was stronger, Song Jia
He stretched out his hand to tuck the strands on his face behind his ears, and saw Lin Fu and the others lifting anchor at the end of the river. From a distance, he saw Lin Fu sitting on the bow of the boat, and felt the touch of his fingers as he took the tea bowl.
"It's really tricky." She Feihu sighed.
"They may not have thought that the land by the river is already in our hands," Du Rong said.
"I'm afraid it's useless," Song Jia shook her head and said, "There is never any reason for official requisition of people's land. Chen Yuanliang, the magistrate of Moling County, wants to label his forehead as a member of the Chu Party, and the She family cannot stand publicly.
come out."
In terms of power, the Marquis of Jin'an's Mansion is much more powerful than Lin Fu's Xiaoxiao from the ninth rank of prison, but the court is very wary of the She family. Originally, they wanted to quietly use Qing Fengxing's
In the name of repairing the wharf and building the warehouse, as long as there is enough money to throw it down, the officials in Jiangning can naturally pretend to be ignorant and turn a blind eye. But at this time, Lin Fu openly stood up to fight for this piece of riverside with them.
Land, it can be said that no official in Jiangning dares to publicly stand up to support their She family. Besides, what Lin Fu said just now also made it very clear that Lin Fu wants to take over this land in the name of Jinchuan Prison Island. To put it bluntly, it is Gu Wuchen
Support him behind the scenes.
"This Lin Fu is extraordinary. I really underestimated him before," Du Rong took the rope from the guard, rode on his back, lightly tightened the reins, and said with a frown, "Jinchuan Prison Island needs supplies, from now on
Even if transportation at Jiuwengqiao Wharf is more troublesome, how much trouble will it cause? Building a wharf, repairing a warehouse, and building another carriage road to connect with the official road outside Donghua Gate will be ten times or a hundred times more troublesome?
He thinks that the Jiuwengqiao Pier is too small and not enough, and he also thinks that the Jiuwengqiao Pier can only accommodate official ships, not civilian ships!"
"If a person does not serve himself, the heaven and earth will destroy him. Who knows how deep the Jiyun Society and the Gu family are behind the scenes?" She Feihu said, "Only a few days after Lin Fu arrived on the prison island, Gu Wuchen cleared the Jiangdao prison.
Isn’t it just convenient for him to cover the sky with one hand on the prison island? Others look down on him as a small ninth-grade prison officer, but he is a big official, but when it comes to trouble, he is really trouble."
"Is it possible to cause some trouble for them? After Gu Wuchen was released from prison, there was trouble on the prison island. Gu Wuchen must have something to answer for..." Du Rong said.
"I'm afraid it won't work. Lin Fu is not someone who is easily convinced. Gu Wuchen has been in exile for nearly ten years and his temper is not weak..." Song Jia frowned and said, "I think he is also an ambitious person, so he might as well sit down.
Let’s talk…”
"I've stuffed a sweet date, and I'm going to give him a stick next. I can't spoil other people's tempers," She Feihu frowned and said decisively. To be honest, he felt a little unhappy when he heard that his wife valued Lin Fu so much.
Comfortable, said to Du Rong, "Go and make arrangements, but you have to know that we can't use our people..."
"I know." Du Rong said. After all, there was Gu Wuchen standing behind Lin Fu. After the Chu Party took control of the center, Gu Wuchen would probably take over as the inspector. They must not break up with Gu Wuchen now, otherwise they would be in trouble for anything they do in Jiangdong in the future.
He will be controlled by Gu Wuchen in every aspect.
Song Jia pursed her pink lips and said nothing. She thought that a person like Lin Fu must be arrogant and arrogant. If she didn't encounter some setbacks, it would be difficult for the She family to use her. If possible, she wished she could hold it.
After being whipped twice by the whip, he felt refreshed. Unconsciously, he fantasized about stripping Lin Fu naked and whipping him with the whip. A slightly strange feeling flowed through his heart, and he was actually very much looking forward to it.
Seeing that his beloved wife suddenly became silent, She Feihu turned a light blush on his pink face and looked very strange, so he asked her: "What are you thinking about?"
"What are you thinking about?" Song Jia came back to her senses, looked back at the boat that was going away, and said, "It's up to you to do whatever you want. I, a woman, can't control it."
*************
Lin Fu doesn't have many taboos on Prison Island now. He will send Lin Jingzhong and Lin Mengde across the river tomorrow, so he will just leave them overnight on Prison Island.
Last year, more prefectures and counties in northern Shanxi, Western Qin and other places were affected by disasters than in previous years. However, after the She family broke up the soil and became feudal lords, the war in the southeast calmed down, and the imperial court was able to mobilize a large number of elite troops and generals from the southeast to strengthen the military armaments in the north. Not only did it strengthen the Yanshan area
The line of defense against the Donghu people also strengthened the suppression of people in the northwest and other places who were making troubles such as those who resisted rent and donated money.
In previous years, farmers in northwest and other counties would have to wait for spring planting before fleeing the spring famine on a large scale. However, as the bitter cold and drought continued, let alone the spring famine, many farmers had no food left and could not survive the winter. Under the suppression of elite soldiers and strong generals,
They didn't dare to gather people to make trouble easily, so they had to come out early to escape.
After the Chinese New Year, there are obviously more refugees in Jiangning City than in previous years. This is still blocked by the vast sky that is thirty to fifty miles wide, and more refugees gather on the north bank of the river. The prefectures and counties along the river strictly guard against the refugees, except for those seeking refuge with relatives and friends.
Refugees were strictly prohibited from crossing the river at government-controlled ferries.
Jiyun Society wants to open a wharf and build a warehouse on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and also build a carriage road connecting the wharf to the official road outside Donghua Gate. This requires a large number of manpower. They take a boat to the north of the Yangtze River to select strong and healthy people from the refugees.
Most suitable. However, the construction of the wharf has not been officially mentioned on the agenda. Jiyun Society cannot use this name to recruit refugees. However, after Jiyun Society receives the business invitation from Moling County, it can not only recruit forty guards with swords,
If you prepare ten soft bows, you can hire more than a hundred men, porters, and laborers in a fair and honest manner.
Lin Jingzhong will go to Jiangbei tomorrow to select these people for Jiyun Club.
Ordinarily, companies or local tycoons are prohibited from directly recruiting refugees, lest people use this to build their reputations and accumulate dead soldiers. However, the law is loose and prohibitive. There are a hundred prohibitions, which cannot be strictly implemented. If they are implemented, a hundred workarounds will be created.
Fa Lai.
Lin Fu was quite disciplined in his work. He had already asked Lin Jingzhong to discuss with Moling County. For the refugees selected by Jiyun Society, Moling County was first responsible for listing these refugees and their families in the county's yellow book.
Let them officially settle in Moling County first and then be employed by Jiyun Society.
This is also a political achievement for Moling County. A large number of refugees flock to the south every year. In addition to organizing manpower to repatriate the refugees to their place of origin, the imperial court also hopes that local officials can resettle as many refugees as possible in their original places to relieve the pressure on the north.
It is easy for local governments to naturalize refugees, but the influx of a large number of landless refugees has a great impact on local public security. In addition, the conflict between locals and refugees is also an issue that is difficult for the government to reconcile. Even resettling refugees requires a lot of calculations.
Political achievements, but local officials are not easy to accept these landless, bankrupt and displaced people.
************
Returning to Jinchuan Prison Island, the golden-red sunset was trembling on the distant mountain tops. Lin Fu took Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong, Zhou Pu, Wu Qi and others into the courtyard of the prison hall. Chang Sun Geng and others were working in the front hall.
The officials didn't say anything when they saw it.
According to the criminal law of this dynasty, it is strictly forbidden for private persons to enter the prison cell. It does not say that private persons are not allowed to enter the prison yard. Some of the old rules are just old rules on the prison island. Now Lin Fu is covering the sky with his hands on the prison island, which is outside the rules.
The rules are naturally decided by him, even if the rules are exceeded by a few points, it doesn't matter.
Lin Fu caught Changsun Geng and asked Yang Shi where Zhao Hu was at this time.
"They are practicing at the Wushu Academy at the back. Will my subordinates call them here?" Changsun Geng asked.
"We'll go there ourselves." Lin Fu said. He led Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong and others towards the Martial Arts Academy at the back. Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong and Yang Shi were not strangers. He would use Yang Shi in the future.
When Shi was training military soldiers, he naturally had to build good relationships with them.
Listening to the chaotic shouts, Lin Fu walked into the martial arts courtyard. Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, he saw Yang Shi leading nearly thirty off-duty martial soldiers in the middle of the courtyard, neatly practicing a boxing technique common in military camps. Lin Fu
When they walked in, the warriors cheered up and their movements looked neat. In essence, they were almost the same as students from a middle school doing radio gymnastics together a thousand years later.
Lin Fu stood at the entrance of the yard and watched. Since he asked Zhao Hu to follow Yang Shi when he left, Zhao Hu also followed Yang Shi to practice boxing honestly. After practicing the sixty-four styles of boxing, Yang Shi asked the martial arts
The soldiers lined up and stood at the edge of the field. He and Zhao Hu walked to Lin Fu, with a rather contented look on their faces, and said, "Master Lin is back, what instructions do you have?"
"You pick five punches that are good..." Lin Fu said. He knew that these people were already elite soldiers under the supervision of the Inspector General. He also knew that Yang Shi, Gu Wuchen, and Yang Pu had been the commander of the Northern Front Army Battalion since they were young.
Big and knowledgeable, but nothing more than that.
Yang Shi glanced at Zhou Pu behind Lin Fu and thought that Lin Fu wanted Zhou Pu to examine his soldiers. Without saying any nonsense, he picked five strong warriors by name and stood in the middle of the field, talking to Lin Fu.
Fu said: "They have practiced well in boxing, please let Mr. Lin test it."
"Okay, I will personally test their boxing skills." Lin Fu took off his waist knife and gave it to Zhou Pu. He took off his green shirt and wore only the short coat underneath. He walked to the field and stood there until five
In front of the soldiers, "Let's start..." As soon as he finished speaking, he punched one of the soldiers directly in the chest. The force of his punch was so heavy that the soldier was caught off guard and struck hard.
After receiving a blow, he took two steps back without taking a breath. He plopped down on the ground and looked at Lin Fu as if he was stunned, not knowing what to do.
"The enemy will not greet you in advance," Lin Fu stretched out his hand to pull up the soldier who was sitting on the ground, and said, "You don't dare to attack me. How much strength you have, I can't test it."
Pointing at Zhao Hu behind him, he said, "You don't have to worry about beating him. Today you will beat him until he is bruised and swollen, and each of you will be rewarded five hundred coins. If the five of you beat him together, you will be beaten to a bruised face."
If you don't pay back, you won't receive this month's salary!" Lin Fu walked back to the entrance of the yard with his hands clasped behind his back, staring at the field with a solemn expression, without even looking at Yang Shi.
Only then did Yang Shi realize that Lin Fu was very dissatisfied with these soldiers, and he stood behind Lin Fu with a stern expression.
Speaking of which, Yang Shi and his father followed Gu Wuchen to Jiangning, and went directly to the Yamen of the Provincial Envoy to accept the military post of Dianwei. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers had no direct relationship with him and his father. Even before yesterday,
Yang Shi mostly ran errands around Gu Wuchen and was not responsible for the daily training of these soldiers. But Gu Wuchen asked him to lead the soldiers to guard the prison island. It seemed that his dream, which had been living in the military camp for a long time, suddenly had sustenance, and he fought there
From the moment he regarded these soldiers as his own soldiers, Lin Fu's expression was like a whip in his heart. He was very unconvinced and hoped that the five soldiers in the field could teach Zhao Hu a lesson.
Fan.
The facts are always disappointing. Zhao Hu has been strong since he was a child. When he grew up, he could not get close to three or five men. In the past few years in the rural camp, he has accumulated a lot of practical experience in arresting bandits and robbers. He even became a leader. He really
The level of martial arts and physical fitness that can be used in actual combat has been greatly improved in these three or four months. When I step into the field, my energy is as tight as a tiger. I only practice drills in the military camp, and boxing is like broadcast gymnastics.
, how could a soldier with no actual combat experience be his opponent just because of his physical strength? The key is that these five soldiers did not know what cooperation meant at all, so they rushed forward and used their moves to knock down Zhao Hu.
However, Zhao Hu's fists did not have any form. He always moved at diagonal angles to avoid being surrounded by the opponent. When taking action, there was no sense of beauty in raising his fists or raising his feet. He could only do it cleanly and without mercy.
In the blink of an eye, one soldier was beaten to the point of bleeding from the nose. One soldier covered his abdomen and squatted down in pain, unable to stand up. Another soldier was kicked hard in the crotch and fell four or five steps away, stunned.
Unable to stand up, the remaining two soldiers were so beaten that they were too timid to step forward...
Lin Fu then waved his hand to ask them to stop and said: "With your level, I am embarrassed to deduct your salary, but I am even more embarrassed to tell others that you are the elite soldiers of this Prison Island," and
Yang Shi, who had an ugly expression next to him, said: "When it comes to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, standing in a line and punching neatly are all fake. Killing or being killed on the battlefield is all a matter of one sword and two swords."
It is a problem that can be solved in a short time, and there is no need for thirty-two or sixty-four postures. For these warriors, I will not raise too high requirements for the time being. I will teach you an action. If you do six hundred groups without stopping, you will still be able to do it.
If you can stand there neatly and execute the set of punches just now without losing shape, then you can talk to me about combat effectiveness," Lin Fu said to Zhao Hu, "You demonstrate to them the full squatting exercise posture...
…”
Zhao Hu performed a very simple full squat movement, and explained the essentials of the movement to Yang Shi and the other warriors twice: widening the chest, taking a deep breath, squatting when the hands naturally extend from the waist, and squatting to the lowest point.
Touch the ground with your hands, draw your arms in a natural arc in front of your body, stand up and exhale, raise your arms to shoulder level and exhale completely. A full squat is completed.
This full squat movement is very simple. The nearly thirty warriors in the field tried two or three of each, and they were basically able to do it. Lin Fu did not embarrass Yang Shi and asked Zhao Hu to stand in front of the field.
As a demonstration, he was only asked to supervise these soldiers to complete 600 sets of squats without stopping. He would come back to see them later.
Lin Fu took Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong and others to the middle courtyard and asked the servants to prepare a guest room for them to spend the night. After dinner, they returned to the Wushu Courtyard and saw almost no one who could still stand up.
Lin Fu stood at the entrance of the yard and took a look, without saying anything, he left. Yang Shi, who was proud and arrogant, almost cried. Zhao Hu was demonstrating in front just now. He thought that the way to be a general should be
Taking the lead, he also performed full squats together. Most of the soldiers could only do two to three hundred groups in a row. He followed Zhao Hu and completed the six hundred groups without stopping, watching Lin Fu appear.
At the entrance of the yard, he didn't even have the strength to stand up with his hands on the ground. How could he feel better?
