Sun Wenwan and Liu Zhenzhi handed over the defense and went into the yard to reply to Lin Fu. Lin Fu called her into the room and said to Song Jia: "Young madam, if you need anything in the future, just ask her to do it," and then said,
"The scenery in this courtyard is not convenient. Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to move the young lady to a courtyard with a better seat..."
"Hey, she turns out to be a beauty!" Song Jia glanced at Sun Wenwan's face for a moment, then saw through her disguise as a man, and smiled, "Master Lin has countless capable ministers and generals, how can he be willing to let such a great beauty
Are you alone in the temple with us two caged people?"
As soon as Sun Wenwan entered the room, she was unreasonably frightened by Song Jia's charming appearance. Although she was quite conceited about her appearance, the youthful temperament exuding from Song Jia's body, in her opinion, maybe Su Mei could rival her.
; Xiaomanmei is beautiful, and she still retains her childishness, which may be regarded as another kind of elegant and charming temperament. It is completely different from Su Mei's temperament. Song Jia's body seems to be the ultimate and otherworldly charm.
, has a strange charm that is breathtaking. It is hard to imagine that she has become a prisoner, but her appearance has not diminished at all. Sun Wenwan was thinking about whether Lin Fu would be tempted by such a beauty, but she didn't expect that Song Jia would tease her first.
, after all, she was tender-skinned, but she was unprepared. When she teased Song Jia, her tender face turned red. She was wearing scholar's clothes and holding a sword in her hand, and she actually became charming when teased by Song Jia under the lamp.
After Sun Wenwan lost her composure, she realized that Song Jia was teasing her. When she looked at Song Jia again, she felt a bit more feigned anger. But Song Jia seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a pair of bright and beautiful eyes that were deep and charming. Even people of the same sex would hardly be jealous of her.
The heart of hatred.
Lin Fu sighed slightly, Sun Wenwan was really no match for Song Jia, and pretended not to understand what Song Jia said, and said: "Miss Sun is the daughter of Sun Jingxuan from Xihehui, and she is willing to take care of the young lady and She Mingyue. She will not be like those rough and rude people."
Such a careless man. I have just returned to Chongzhou. Young Madam should also know what Chongzhou is like. Maybe there was some carelessness in the past few days. I also need to ask Young Madam, Miss She, for your understanding..."
Song Jia was obedient and heard that Sun Wenwan was the daughter of Xihehui. She looked at her again and said, "It turns out to be Miss Sun. I was rude just now. I will ask Miss Sun to take care of her in the future."
Song Jia's posture changed so easily that Sun Wenwan couldn't react for a moment. Even though she had met Song Jia and She Mingyue, she said goodbye and left first. There were still many things she needed to get familiar with.
There was no one else in the room. Song Jia stared at Lin Fu calmly and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated Mr. Lin yet. It is a great help to have Xihe return to his heart. Mr. Lin has really had something to celebrate these days.
Quite a few..."
Lin Fu had long known that Song Jia was not a simple woman. Song Bo had deliberately contacted him in Jinan, and it seemed that he was also influenced by his sister. He said sternly: "The Sun family is trying to help, but the She family is borrowing Jiangdong Zuo
The opportunity of the army being trapped in Shandong and the brutal attack on Chongzhou is something worthy of celebration? If the young lady and Miss She were not of the female class, this mountain monastery, no matter how big it is, would not be able to accommodate you two!"
"She Feixiong knew that if you lead the Jiangdong Left Army back to Chongzhou to gain a foothold, he would be unable to break through the Chongzhou Jiangkou defense line in a short period of time, so he took the lead," Song Jia stared into Lin Fu's eyes indifferently, "But, but...
, he is far from being able to see through you and the Jiangdong Left Army. Although the invasion of the Donghai Bandits caused thousands of casualties to Chongzhou, and although the city of Chongzhou was completely destroyed, to put it coldly, for Mr. Lin and the Jiangdong Left Army,
Isn’t it really a blessing?”
Lin Fu's heart seemed to be pricked by Song Jia's gaze, and he asked quietly: "According to what the young lady said, what should She Fei Xiong do to make it not a blessing for Lin?"
"As a woman, I'm just talking casually," Song Jia smiled broadly and whispered, "Why is Mr. Lin so serious again?"
Lin Fu looked at Song Jia's eyes, which were as bright as paint and so beautiful. He thought to himself that she really didn't have the consciousness of being a prisoner. He couldn't let this woman take the initiative and said, "I know what you are thinking, maybe you
I think She Feixiong should let Chongzhou City go and attack Xisha Island with all his strength regardless of casualties... I might as well tell you that Xisha Island can mobilize elites and form another Jiangdong left army. I would like to know how much losses the She family can bear during the attack.
Going to Xisha Island? You may see that the foundation of our Jiangdong Left Army is incompatible with the local forces. She Feixiong's attack on Chongzhou City may be to break the resistance of the Jiangdong Left Army's local forces based in Chongzhou----actually
Yes, you thought wrong. You probably still don’t understand why I can safely use the Hu family on Xisha Island. At this time, I might as well tell you that the answer lies in the Chongzhou boy case..."
Lin Fu's star-like eyes revealed a sharp energy. Song Jia's heart seemed to be burned. She then smiled and said: "Master Lin said these words as if he wanted to compete with me. I am so jealous."
I am Lord Lin's prisoner, so how can I be competitive with Lord Lin? I want to quarrel occasionally, but I am afraid of making Lord Lin unhappy."
Lin Fu felt bitter in his heart and didn't want to stay and be ridiculed by this woman. He stood up, bowed calmly and said: "I won't disturb the rest of the young lady and Miss She..." Then he left the monastery with no hands, leaving his sister-in-law in the lonely monastery.
At this time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: This woman is really powerful. If she were a man and was valued and appointed by the She family, she might be a powerful enemy in this life.
***********
"What did he mean when he said that the answer to the mystery lies in the Chongzhou boy case?" She Mingyue waited for Lin Fu to leave before she put away her panic. Lin Fu had something she couldn't understand, so she asked her sister-in-law Song Jia.
"I really can't think of it, how could I have thought of it?" Song Jia looked at Lin Fu's figure disappearing from the courtyard door, walked over and closed the door, held Mingyue's shoulder, and said, "Your elder brother should not have done anything to Chongzhou.
----You and I are afraid that we will never be free again. This deep hatred is not a good thing for you..."
Seeing that Mingyue was still thinking about what Lin Fu said when she left, Song Jia said, "Don't think about it too much. The Chongzhou County School was robbed the year before last, and more than 30 children from the county school were taken away. I still doubt whether it was sent by your second brother.
The group of people who robbed Su Mei happened to kill them on the way. Unfortunately, those people died at sea and did not return. Su Mei and Lin Fu escaped safely - now it seems that they are indeed the same group of people. Those who were robbed
All the boys should be rescued by Lin Fu..."
She Mingyue and her sister-in-law spent the whole day together, and were exposed to many secrets. She asked in confusion: "Since Lin Fu saved someone, why is the Chongzhou boy's case an unsolved case?"
"Maybe it has something to do with the commander of the Ninghai Town Navy. It is said that the robbers in the Chongzhou Tongzi case were in contact with the Ninghai Town Navy, but they escaped in the end... The trick may be here!" Song Jia said, "Your brother and the others
I thought Cihai and the others were hiding well in Chongzhou, but they didn't expect that Lin Fu would always have one eye staring at Chongzhou. No matter how well Cihai had hidden himself in the past two years, how could he not let Lin Fu see any flaws?
?Why are we imprisoned here for no reason?"
"Ah?" She Mingyue was still a little confused and couldn't figure out the details. Song Jia couldn't bear to reveal some details to her bloody. What happened these days was enough to make her panic, and said: "You
Let's wash up and have a rest first..." She and the mother-in-law who was serving Mingyue also silenced Ao Canghai immediately to prevent the news from leaking, and no one came to attend to them at this time.
Song Jia stood in front of the window, looking out at the monastery under the moon in a trance. Sun Wenwan's figure appeared at the door of the monastery.
Song Jia thought that Lin Fu would not return to Chongzhou so early, but she did not expect that as soon as she was delayed, Mingyue became a prisoner and a caged bird with her. She thought that the Sun family in Xihe would have completely surrendered to Lin Fu this time, and she sighed slightly, no matter it was
Both the She family and the Song family actually ignore these forces from the bottom of society. It seems that Lin Fu rose to power through the Lin clan and Gu Wuchen, but if we look at it seriously, the core members of Jiangdong Zuojun are of low status and have never been taken seriously.
people.
The most important subordinates trusted by Lin Fu, whose identity and background can be found out at this time, Fu Qinghe is a martial artist who has been living with a prostitute, Zhao Hu, Lin Jingzhong, Zhao Qingshan are children of common people, Cao Ziang is a refugee, Ning
Zechen is a refugee, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong is a refugee, Ao Canghai is a fugitive assassin, and Lin Mengde is not of high origin. Although Hu Zhiyong from Chongzhou has not yet been found, why the Hu Zhicheng brothers suddenly became loyal to Lin Fu, but the Hu family
In Chongzhou, it was a small clan on the verge of bankruptcy. Now, the Sun family in Xihe Hui is almost at the bottom and has almost been completely defeated...
In addition to these core subordinates, the core combat strength of Jiangdong Zuojun's soldiers were also refugees who should not be trusted. Lin Fu used these low-level people who were easily ignored to form the Jiangdong Zuojun that became a blockbuster in the Battle of King Qin. Jiangdong Zuojun became an army.
The short time and strong combat power really shocked many people, otherwise She Feixiong would not have rushed to send troops to attack the foundation of the Jiangdong Left Army in Chongzhou.
Since the forces loyal to Lin Fu mostly come from the bottom of society, Lin Fu wants to gain more benefits for the forces loyal to him to gain more stable power, which will naturally touch the interests of local powerful families. This is what Lin Fu did last year.
Going to Xisha Island to provide relief to the victims in the summer and autumn will be the main factor that creates fierce conflicts with the local forces represented by the county magistrate Chen Kun.
She Feixiong invaded Chongzhou wantonly. After breaking the city, he killed and looted wantonly, slaughtered the officials, destroyed the city, and made Chongzhou a mess. The goal was to prevent the Jiangdong Left Army from obtaining wages from Chongzhou and prevent the Jiangdong Left Army from entering Chongzhou City. In fact,
Those who suffered the most serious blow were the forces of local officials and gentry. These forces were precisely the most important force that restricted Lin Fu from fully controlling Chongzhou.
Chongzhou has a population of more than 100,000 or 200,000, and the Zhengyin official has three permanent officials: the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant.
In addition to these two or three people, the county government has six offices of clerks, three groups of government servants as minions, and archers and swordsmen who are responsible for arresting murderers and thieves, all of whom are drawn from the local area.
In Lijia, when the tax department is set up in the countryside, elders are selected from the powerful clans, big landowners, and wealthy households to occupy important positions. These people and related people together form the local powerful clan.
Power group.
The two or three chief seal officials appointed by the imperial court must go through them to control the large county of Chongzhou with a population of more than 100 or 200,000 people. They must also go through them to continuously collect the tax and land tax.
For a long time, the imperial court and local forces have formed a stable relationship of distribution of interests. For example, Chongzhou's official grain tax, which is allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs every year, is worth about 10,000 taels of silver. Generally speaking, the imperial court designated Chongzhou as the source of salary for the Jiangdong Zuo Army.
, the Jiangdong Left Army's annual salary draw from Chongzhou can only be about 10,000 taels per year.
Obviously, ten thousand taels of silver per year is far from enough to support the Jiangdong Left Army. From this point of view, the local forces must be extremely wary of the Jiangdong Left Army to prevent the Jiangdong Left Army from usurping local interests.
Unless Chen Kun dies, the conflict with Lin Fu will only deepen and cannot be resolved, unless Lin Fu is really willing to draw only 10,000 taels of silver from Chongzhou every year.
In fact, Chongzhou is located in a fertile land of fish and rice, and the actual salary that can be extracted is far more than 10,000 taels.
Based on the 1.5 million acres of fertile farmland in Chongzhou County, Chongzhou County’s annual grain production should be between 3 and 4.5 million metric tons of grain.
Song Jia had studied taxes in various places with his father, and knew that if the local forces in Chongzhou County did not conceal the population, land, Ding tax, land tax and various additional payments, they would almost reach a "five-to-one" ratio, and the tax payable in Chongzhou County would be
The amount of grain will reach an astonishing 600,000 to 90 dan; even if the land tax is calculated as "1 in 15", Chongzhou should have a tax of 200,000 to 300,000 dan. In fact, the official land allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs will eventually
The amount of grain given to the emperor was only about 20,000 dan.
The huge difference was not taken away by the sharecroppers or small landowners, nor did it disappear out of thin air. Rather, it was taken away by local powerful families and large landowners.
She Fei Xiong seemingly destroyed Chongzhou and destroyed the salary source of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, but this was only temporary. In fact, it cleared the way for Lin Fu to fully control Chongzhou. Once Lin Fu is given full control of Chongzhou, Lin Fu can draw money from Chongzhou every year.
The salary will be far more than 10,000 taels, and may even be 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels!
It was precisely because Song Jia saw through this that he boldly said that Chongzhou City was destroyed by the Donghai bandits, and the officials and a considerable number of the wealthy people living in the city were slaughtered. This was a great blessing for Lin Fu and the Jiangdong Left Army.
When Lin Fu first returned to Chongzhou, he couldn't wait to capture Guangjiao Temple. Jiangdong Zuojun also seemed to have taken root in Zilang Mountain. Even though Song Jia was imprisoned in the Zen Temple on the top of the mountain, he could vaguely guess some of Lin Fu's arrangements.
.
If Lin Fu completely abandons the remaining city of Chongzhou and rebuilds Chongzhou City with the support of Zilang Mountain, and the Jiangdong Zuo Army is stationed along Zilang Mountain, and supports Li Shuyi, Li Shutang, Hu Zhiyong, Hu Zhicheng and others in Chongzhou County, even if they are appointed by the imperial court.
The county magistrate and other official seal officials were at odds with Lin Fu and could not prevent Lin Fu from fully controlling Chongzhou County.
The funny thing is that She Feixiong thought he had a trick, but he didn't know that he had done Lin Fu a big favor.
The She family can gain a firm foothold in Jin'an. It can also be said that the foundation of the She family's rule in Jin'an is inseparable from the support of the powerful local Shangxiang clan. She Feixiong naturally thinks that it will attack the local forces in Chongzhou.
, will also effectively attack the foundation of the Jiangdong Left Army in Chongzhou.
Song Jia sighed slightly, thinking that She Feixiong probably didn't understand that the core foundation of Lin Fu and Jiangdong Zuojun's forces was neither the Lin clan, nor Gu Wuchen, nor Tang Haoxin's support for Lin Fu, but those who gave the She family
Looking down on a lowly person - Song Jia closed the window, not worried about her own fate, but she was a little curious, how far can Lin Fu's plan go?
Ever since they met in Donghua City, Song Jia felt that Lin Fu had a very different demeanor from those so-called celebrities and Qingliu. He also had vision and knowledge that far exceeded those of the so-called celebrities or Qingliu. The funny thing is that others could only do what they did in Lin Fu.
Only after the earth-shattering incident happened, I had to agree with this. Before, I only regarded him as a ridiculous pigherder...
