Xiaoman heard the dog barking and Lin Fu's voice in the house, and ran out excitedly. She held a fluffy little black dog in her arms. It didn't look ferocious at all when it grew up. Xiaoman lifted the puppy up
He came to Lin Fu's eyes and said, "Look, Wan Niang asked Wen Pei to send a litter of six puppies. They all look like this. Doesn't it look good?"
Lin Fu saw Xiao Man's excited look and turned around to say to Wu Qi: "Then I can only give you five at most."
"It would be too wasteful to raise a Black Mountain dog as a local dog..." Wu Qi still couldn't bear to leave a good dog to be ruined in the thatched cottage.
"You are too stupid. You know that there are such black mountain dogs in Xihe, so you can blackmail a few more when you find opportunities in the future?" Lin Fu said with a smile.
"Ah, what does Lord Crow want a dog for?" Xiaoman glanced at Wu Qi warily and asked doubtfully, "Master Crow doesn't want to eat dog meat, right? How can you bear to bear such a beautiful puppy? No way.
Give you the puppy."
"Am I like a person who eats dog meat?" Wu Qi said angrily, "Although the Black Mountain Dog is a good dog, if it is raised without being tamed, it will be better than a mutt. It will bark more fiercely when watching the house, but it is of no use...
…Back then in the Huaishang Village, I was smart and capable by raising those two Black Mountains. Alas, I hated that thief Chen Hansan for seducing us into a trap. Even the big and small Heizi couldn’t escape with me, and the Big Heizi even stood up for me.
Blocked a knife."
"As long as you don't eat dog meat, all six dogs will be given to you." Xiaoman looked at Wu Qi's pitiful words and couldn't bear to keep the puppy in his arms.
Lin Fu still wanted to leave a dog for Xiaoman to keep, otherwise the girls would be too lonely in the house. He said to Wu Qi: "Dogs give birth to two babies a year. If there is a dedicated person to breed them and stop breeding them, there will be no shortage in the future."
Black Mountain Dog. Is there any expert in raising dogs under Mr. Crow? I will set aside a plot of land on Prison Island to build a kennel specifically for raising and training dogs..."
"A waste of money?" Wu Qi said.
"Instead of raising war dogs, we should raise alert dogs for warning and searching for enemies. It would be better if they can carry messages..." Lin Fu said, "I am not allowed to raise people on Prison Island, so how can I not be allowed to raise dogs?
Money is always needed. Write down all the methods for training dogs, and we will discuss together to draw up detailed rules for raising dogs. With the detailed rules, it will be easier to teach. We will train people in the future, but we cannot wait three or five years.
I will start training again next year.”
Lin Fu knew that most of the dogs in the army at that time were war dogs. The more dogs they raised, the more powerful and ferocious they were. In fact, this was a big misunderstanding. The cost of raising war dogs was no lower than that of soldiers, but no matter how ferocious the war dogs were on the battlefield, their performance
The role of war dogs is also very limited. It cannot be compared with the armored and elite soldiers. In the end, war dogs have become a tool for a few generals and military attachés to show off their power. They are similar to the young masters leading the evil dogs to bully the streets. They cannot really be used as weapons.
Play the role a good dog should have.
In fact, good dogs are not only brave and fearless like wolves, but their sense of smell and hearing are far stronger than humans. Carefully training good dogs, although more labor-intensive and expensive than raising war dogs, is still effective in tracking, warning, patrolling, searching, etc.
It can play a big role and is definitely worth the money.
Even with Wu Qi's stealth ability, it is very easy to hide from others. If he doesn't use meatballs to pave the way, he can easily escape the nose and ears of even an ordinary guard dog. Lin Fu has read the Notes on the Seven Classics of Martial Arts, and there are some simple battles.
The method of dog training does not emphasize that dogs should not eat food from outsiders, and it is easy to give poisonous bait. Dog training here should pay special attention to this point. Raising a few Black Mountain dogs can reduce the number of hidden whistles at the mouth of the river.
The full number of guards on Prison Island is one hundred and eighty. Before the prison city is reopened, it will be difficult to break through this number. There are only forty guards available in Jiyunshe. Although some people can be hidden on the ship in the future,
You can't leave too many armed guards on the shore of the river mouth. When the three boats are released in the future, the river mouth can only have ten armed guards in name. This manpower will only guard Jiyun Society in the future.
Warehouses and warehouses are far from sufficient.
If you are unable to raise soldiers, you can temporarily train good dogs to make up for the shortage. Alert dogs are very useful. Keeping one or two good dogs on ships, military camps, warehouses, etc. to keep people alert can allow people to rest at ease. Dogs also have a long life span and reach their prime.
There are also seven to eight years. At this time, raising a few more can also prevent urgent needs in the future. Lin Fu has always believed that money spent is money. As long as it is managed well, the large amount of labor on Prison Island can be used to reclaim wasteland, river beaches and the future.
The private salt channel between Changshan Island and Prison Island was opened, and Lin Fu was not worried about the source of the money.

"What? He's so greedy that he's still asking if there's a little Hei around here? We are the Xihe Club of the He Gang, not the Xihe Club that raises dogs." Sun Wenwan stared at Wen Pei in surprise, "A litter of little ones who are just one month old.
Heidu gave it to them, but they are really unscrupulous. Did you tell them that Xihe Club only has two pairs of Black Mountain Dogs? How many people came to ask for this litter of full-term dogs? Others
People’s Black Mountains have become overgrown if they are raised, and they have lost their spirituality. It is useless to have them, and they are only more ferocious than native dogs.”
The men of the He Gang will leave the Cao River to go north after autumn, and they will leave for more than half a year. Only women, children, the elderly and the weak guard the house, so there is a tradition of raising dogs to protect the house. There are also good breeds, but due to financial resources, they cannot be domesticated on a large scale.
"Why am I so embarrassed to say that? If you want to breed, not only can you not breed dogs, but you also have to avoid pairing breeding dogs with too close blood lines... I feel like my ears are red hearing this, so I don't have the nerve to ask anything else.
?" Wen Pei sat on Wan Niang's bedside and asked doubtfully, "Sister, you are really amazing. How do you know that Lin likes dogs or not?"
"...I won't tell you this," Sun Wenwan smiled proudly. The night she was caught by Lin Fu, she saw a hidden sentry posted at the mouth of the river. She could also see that the lights on the corner tower were more for warning, and the money invested was overwhelming.
After meeting for a while, he knew that Lin Fu attached great importance to vigilance. He thought that if Lin Fu knew the Black Mountain Dog, he would know that a good dog can serve as a sentinel. The Black Mountain Dog can hear footsteps hundreds of steps away. How can human ears be so sensitive?
?Moreover, the nose of the Black Mountain Dog can sniff out enemies and friends, and can smell things buried underground. How can a human nose be so clever? Used in conjunction with the hidden whistle, two people and two dogs can patrol in a staggered manner, and the three to four hundred acres of the river mouth can be taken care of.
, even if Lin Fu sent ten secret sentries to the mouth of the river before, they might not be able to take care of her. He asked Wen Pei again, "Where is your mother?"
"I am anxious to launch the ferry today, arrange manpower at the dock, and select a piece of land on the river bank," Wen Pei said, "Sister, when the yard is completed, will we live here?"
"Are you thinking about it? Even if you live here, you won't live in the same house with me in the future." Wan Niang laughed at Wen Pei and thought more carefully, when the river bank pier, river embankment pier and carriage road are completed, the river mouth may not be able to become a
A wharf with prosperous land and water and prosperous grass market. Many members of the Xihe Association mainly rely on water transportation for survival. However, it is always beneficial to have more footholds and more sources of income in Jiangning. There is famine in the north and bandits. Xihe County
There are also many more refugees fleeing from neighboring counties than in previous years. Many people come to the Xihe Society with relatives and friends. The Xihe Society cannot refuse, but having to take care of the livelihood of more people is also a heavy burden on everyone's hearts.
Jushi. Wanniang knew in her heart why her father and second uncle were so active in Lin Fu's initiative to win over Lin Fu. Even though she had a grudge against Lin Fu in her heart, she still had to consider the overall situation of the Xihe Society.
***********
The Chen Garden on the south bank of the Cangjin Bridge was originally a dilapidated post house in Jiangning. The former governor of Jiangning allocated tens of thousands of taels of official silver to renovate it. It became a famous garden with curved water, strange rocks, and interesting vegetation. It was only used for entertaining guests.
Senior officials who were temporarily staying in the city. It took three to five days for Li Zhuo to hand over military affairs to Uncle Qin Cheng. After Li Zhuo welcomed him into Jiangning, he lived in Chenyuan. There were 300 elite men from the Jianrui Camp and the Half Battalion under the Jiangning Garrison.
Chen Yuan was protected by military soldiers so that even flies could not get in.
A clear pool of water separated Chenyuan from Yuqian Street, and was connected by an exquisite white marble stone bridge. The ruts rolled across the stone bridge. Gao Zongting opened the curtain of his car, showed the traffic sign to the soldiers on duty, and then moved the curtain
Open it and look at the beautiful scenery inside Chen Garden.
He stopped and dismounted and asked Li Zhuo where the stage was in the courtyard. Gao Zongting walked over quickly. This courtyard is mainly a small clear lake surrounded by green tiles and pink walls. There is a small island in the middle of the lake.
In the pavilion, there are small boats to ferry people to the island, where they can sit and enjoy themselves. You can also invite singers and dancers to perform on the stage in small boats. There are exquisite corridors on three sides of the lakeside, where people can sit across the lake and watch the performances in the pavilion.
Gao Zongting saw Li Zhuo standing on the island pavilion wearing a green shirt, with frosty white hair on his temples. He stared at the clear lake outside the pavilion. On the lake, new lotuses emerged from the water and stood gracefully. Of course Gao Zongting knew that Li Zhuo was in a daze looking at the new lotus.
.
"Commander Commander..." Gao Zongting called softly before boarding the boat. He took a bamboo pole to hold it up and boarded the island pavilion.
"Zong Ting is back," Li Zhuo came to his senses and said, "If you have any news, don't look at my high position and power today. I entered Jiangning. I am actually blind and deaf. Those who copied the post and newspaper are all
It is to report good news but not bad news, and to reveal a catastrophe that is difficult to cover up. No one in the local area dares to show off with a bad face, so applying a layer of white powder is not enough..."
"Master Luo Shan and the others have already arrived in the south of the city. After receiving the letter, they will not enter the city first. Pingjiang Prefecture, Dongyang Prefecture, Jiahang, and Mingzhou have all sent people to Weiyang and Huai'an. The source of information in Huai'an is Dong Yuan..." Gao Zongting said
.
"Especially Pingjiang Prefecture, Jiahang, and Mingzhou need to send more people," Li Zhuo said. "I estimate that the She family will integrate the East China Sea bandit forces for their own use in the next step. Jiahang, Mingzhou and other places are under great pressure. This
There are no water camps for the defense armies in the two places. The combat power of the government army's water villages is really worrying. Pingjiang Prefecture is the source of salary for the garrison army. The information from these three places must be accurate and timely, and local officials cannot be fooled.
Already."
"She Fei Xiong, the eldest son of She, got seriously ill for no reason and was recuperating behind closed doors. The manpower deployed in Jin'an could not find out the whereabouts of She Fei Xiong. I am worried that he has gone to sea," Gao Zongting said, "The imperial court blindly asked Southeast Finance
The money was transferred to the north, and they refused to allocate money to build another water camp in Changguo County, Mingzhou. One thing was going down, the other was going up. If the East China Sea bandits occupied the islands in Changping County and consolidated their forces, it would be really difficult... It is not impossible today.
Good news, Gu Wuchen sent a letter to Jiangning Mansion and the Xuanfu Envoy Si Yamen today, admonishing Jiangning Mansion and Jiangdong Mansion to start transporting summer canals, and asked Jiangning Mansion to set an example first. His appetite is not small, and he asked Jiangning to send 100,000 shi of summer grain.
.”
"Oh," Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did Wang Xueshan react?"
"Of course Wang Xueshan will not agree so readily, but Wang Xueshan should cooperate with Gu Wuchen at this time, but it will take some time to resolve the local resistance," Gao Zongting said with a smile, "Lin Fu is really not an easy man. A little encouragement
It's transparent, but it's a pity that it can't be used by the commander-in-chief, and if Xia Cao is allowed to successfully sail, it will be detrimental to Prime Minister Chen..."
"They are all for the benefit of the imperial court, and there is no difference between them. Chen Xiang has been kind to me, but if Chen Xiangliu is harmful to the current situation, I cannot harm justice because of personal favors..." Li Zhuo said.
Gao Zongting didn't say anything else. He thought that Prime Minister Chen was in danger in the central government. The Chu party might not allow the governor to sit firmly in Jiangning. He was worried and couldn't get rid of it. He said: "This Chen Yuan is good. Why not use Chen Yuan as the residence of the governor in Jiangning in the future?"
? Today’s Holy Emperor is still a very independent leader, and may not be manipulated by the Chu Party. The Commander-in-Chief is sitting in Jiangning to calm Yanjing’s heart.”
"Oh," Li Zhuo sighed slightly, nodded and agreed, "Just live here, I don't know how long I can stay in Jiangning."
