Great Blue Night Watchman

Chapter 221 King Chen

"The housing problem is easy to solve now." Lin Su said: "This building can be expanded to two, three or four floors at any time."

ah? Even Sister Chen was shocked: "Should I add it directly to the top or dismantle it and make it again?"

"Of course you add it directly!" Lin Su said: "The foundations of these houses are built according to the standards I mentioned, right?"

Sister Chen nodded. The standards set by Lin Su were strictly implemented in all house constructions. The four hundred disabled guards were watching. If they understand, they must be implemented. If they don't understand, they must still be implemented...

"That's no problem. The standard I mentioned can originally bear the weight of four or five layers!"

The two women looked at each other, husband, you are a clairvoyant. You have foreseen today's situation a year ago. It would be great if you could add an extra storey. Several families in Jiangtan have started to build houses in the courtyard. There are many families in the town. It's a headache. Don't let them build it. Their house really can't be accommodated. Let them build it. It will still affect the appearance...

"It's easy to live in a place, but it's much harder to make a living." Lin Su said: "Let's go to the north and have a look."

The north is where refugees gather. Refugees from several neighboring states are concentrated in the north. They are across a river from the river beach here. They are trying every possible means to enter the Haining river beach, which makes Prefect Yang very nervous.

He saw with his own eyes how Haining River Beach was transformed from a gloomy hell to a paradise on earth. He also personally worked on Haining River Beach to prevent floods for more than ten days. He really regarded Haining River Beach as his own effort. How could he allow Haining River Beach to become chaotic again? ?

If one hundred thousand refugees enter the Haining River Beach, it will definitely be a mess.

Therefore, he sent a team of officers, soldiers and agents to station on the opposite side of the river to prevent illegal crossing.

A river of justice divides heaven and hell.

This side of the Yishui River is the boundary of Quzhou and Haining.

To the north of Yishui River is the boundary of Chenzhou Meiling.

On Haining's river beach, 200,000 homeless people set up factories, built schools, built embankments and paved roads. Every family had a surplus of money and lived in small buildings.

On the border of Meiling, hundreds of thousands of refugees are lying on the ground, eating grass roots and bark, wearing large leaves, and living in danger...

Lin Su took the two girls to the river, and the head catcher, Boss Sun, was also there. Boss Sun was so happy when he saw Lin Su: "Master Lin...oh, no, Master Lin, when did you come back? The prefect is talking about you." It’s been several days…”

Lin Su was on good terms with the magistrate, and Sun Captou was also blessed. Every time Lin Su came over, he would always bring him something, whether it was white clouds, perfume, or some snacks, no matter what. , are all good things that even money can’t buy. It makes this catcher look so shameless in front of the catcher...

"The prefect is talking about me? Have you finished the wine?" Lin Su smiled and said, "I asked him to come over."

All the catchers laughed...

As soon as the official seal was illuminated, golden light rose into the sky and shot toward the prefect's house. The next moment, Prefect Yang stepped onto the bridge and everyone on the bridge burst into laughter...

"Brothers, go ahead and do what you have to do. The prefect and I will take a walk and see..."

"Master Lin, are you here for inspection too?" Magistrate Yang landed.

"I'm not wearing official uniform today. What's the purpose of inspection?" Lin Su pointed to the other side of the river: "Those people are the refugees from all over the country who heard the news?"

Magistrate Yang's face became serious: "Exactly! This is probably the most difficult problem to solve in Haining. Jiangtan has done so well that the news will inevitably leak out. If this leak occurs, who among the refugees in the world will not regard Haining as a river?" Is the beach a paradise on earth? They are all suffering people who are coming in droves, and it is difficult for me to drive them away with force, so we can only build this line of defense..."

Refugees will not break through the defense line easily, nor do they dare.

But what will happen if the number of refugees increases?

Lin Su looked into the distance: "We can only find some livelihood for them there."

Magistrate Yang's eyes suddenly brightened.

Looking for a living?

Countless people all over the world say these three words every day, but who can really put a thousand pounds into each word and achieve immediate results?

Only Mr. Lin.

"What kind of livelihood does Third Young Master want to give them?"

"Come on, change out of your official uniform and let's go over there and have a look..."

Magistrate Yang almost tore off his official uniform. In a moment, two people wearing tattered scholar's clothes soared into the sky and disappeared into the depths of the sky. In the blink of an eye, they landed among the ranks of refugees.

Lin Su was already very familiar with the refugees.

Of course, Magistrate Yang is more familiar with it. He has served in seven places, and each place is full of refugees. He has seen too many tragedies in the world where the sky is the roof and the earth is the seat, but he is still shocked by the tragedy in front of him. Why, because These refugees are new arrivals. The new refugees are different from the old refugees in the past. When the old refugees arrive in a certain place, they will build huts and have some scenes of life, but the current refugees really have nothing.

In a pile of grass, a family is sleeping, unable to get out, because some refugee families only have one pair of trousers. Anyone who goes out to find food should wear these trousers. Those who don't have trousers can stay in the grass.

Is there anything to eat around? All the green leaves were gone, and even the bark was peeled off.

Magistrate Yang and Lin Su walked along the way and saw a small earth bag on the side of the mountain above. A young man was sitting in front of the tomb, staring blankly at the tomb bag. Behind him, there was a young woman, half Lying in the grass, there was a baby in her arms. In her hands were some leaves, which she squeezed into juice and dropped into the baby's mouth drop by drop. The baby was crying, but the cry was very light. It was obvious that she didn't have the strength to cry. .

"Husband, you'd better sell the slave family and get some money to feed the children..."

The woman said softly.

"Nonsense, I, Zhou Yang, can sell my land and my strength, but how can I sell my beloved wife? Never mention this matter again!" the young man in front of the grave scolded.

"Husband, how could Shi Niang not know how affectionate and loyal you are to me? But now... Shi Niang can still make some money by selling it. She can survive for three days and be hungry for three days. No one wants to sell her, and our child , but I can’t last three days..."

The young man stood up suddenly: "I'm going to find some work now, Shiniang, if you wait for me, you will have to wait..."

When he stood up, he felt dizzy and dizzy...

Suddenly, a hand reached out and held his shoulder.

Zhou Yang raised his eyes and saw two scribes in old clothes...

Lin Sudao: "Do you want to make a living?"

"Brother is..."

"Do something for me, and I'll give you ten taels of silver." Lin Su raised his hand, and in his palm was a small bag containing snowflake silver.

Zhou Yang's expression changed slightly: "I wonder what brother wants me to do?"

"Please help me find out who owns this land."

Zhou Yang was so surprised: "That's it?"

"Exactly, you found out the news, and this is your reward."

Zhou Yang and Shiniang opposite were all stunned.

You can get ten taels of silver by checking a piece of information. How is that possible?

"Brother, this news is not worth ten taels of silver, or even worth a penny. The entire refugee team knows that this land starts from Meiling in the north, to Yishui River in the south, to the Yangtze River in the east, and to Zhoushan Ji in the west. , all belong to King Chen."

"Prince Chen?" Lin Su raised his eyes and stared at Magistrate Yang.

Magistrate Yang nodded lightly: "King Chen's jurisdiction is indeed in Meiling, Chenzhou, but I don't know the detailed boundaries."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!" Lin Su turned over his hand and placed the money in Zhou Yang's palm.

Zhou Yang's whole body trembled: "Brother, this..."

"This is the reward I promised. Take it and buy some food for the child." Lin Su turned to Magistrate Yang: "Let's go, let's visit King Chen!"

With a chirping sound, two figures broke into the sky at the same time.

Great scholar!

Zhou Yang's hand trembled and the silver fell into the grass...

The team of refugees at the foot of the mountain looked up at the sky at the same time, watching the two great scholars rising into the sky...

One of the women was shocked and exclaimed...

"Sister Ying, what's wrong?" asked a woman next to her.

Cui Ying looked at the sky and murmured: "Is it him? Is it really him?"

"Sister Ying, do you know these two great scholars?"

"Yao'er, do you remember the person I talked about? Before the palace examination that day, on the outskirts of the capital, I sold myself to bury my father, and he gave me ten taels of silver..."

"Of course I remember. Sister Ying wants to repay her with her body. Oh, not yet. He has already bought Sister Ying's body. Sister Ying has said it ten times. How could I not know? Who is he?" Chen Yao smiled softly.

Cui Ying rolled her eyes at her: "Don't talk nonsense! He is a star in the sky... He is the number one scholar!"

"Ah?" Chen Yao was shocked: "Sister Ying, are you talking about the divine man who created the Haining River Beach with his own hands? Do you really know him? Then cross the river quickly and say that you are the concubine bought by the Number One Scholar. Over there The people will definitely let you go..."

Cui Ying glanced at her again: "He renovated the Haining River Beach, and he also set the rules. How can I break his rules? Maybe he...he has long forgotten the original incident, like him People don't remember these little things... Today's great scholar only looks like him, and I didn't see it clearly..."

"Then let's go and ask. He talked to the people on the mountain. The family on the mountain must know who he is..."

The two girls hurried up the mountain and arrived in front of Shiniang...

Shiniang was still in a dream. She heard everything the two great scholars said with her own ears, but they really did not reveal their origins. She also wanted to know who this kind-hearted great scholar was.

Cui Ying looked at Meiling in the distance: "He went to visit King Chen. Could it be said that he wanted to change this land? If true, maybe it would be him. Only he has the ability to change a land with the wave of his hand. , and he is the only one who is willing to get close to the refugees..."

Shiniang was excited, sister, do you know who he is? Tell sister quickly, who is he?

Before Cui Ying could speak, Chen Yao next to her spoke first. The person Sister Ying was talking about was her husband-in-law...

ah? !

Shi Niang turned over and planned to bow down...

ah? Cui Ying caught Chen Yao and beat her...

Lin Su and Magistrate Yang had flown over forty miles of wasteland and landed in Meiling.

Meiling is full of plum trees and pavilions. Because it is located on the top of the mountain, it feels cool.

To the south is the wasteland, to the north is the prosperous Zhoushan District, and you can see Changchun Lake in the distance. The scenery is first-class.

Five years ago, this was the summer resort that His Majesty would visit when he toured the south of the Yangtze River. But now, it has become a palace where the prince is exiled.

Not to mention that His Majesty has never come once, even if he is an official, he will not come.

Why? Because the identity of King Chen is very taboo.

He is the third son of his former Majesty.

In the inheritance of the royal family, it is a common practice for the son to take the throne after the death of the father. However, Da Cang Kingdom has subverted it. After the death of the previous Majesty, it is not the son who takes the throne, but the younger brother.

The former prince has naturally become a taboo.

King Chen's two elder brothers both wanted to be emperor. The prince was killed five years ago, King Huainan raised an army five years ago, and the whole government was wiped out three years ago. Now, there are only two direct descendants of the late emperor left, one is King Chen. , one is Princess Yufeng.

The reason why King Chen was able to stay was because King Chen had no ambition and took pleasure in sensuality and dogs. He was a typical pig intestine that could not be helped. Why did the emperor have to get rid of him? Wouldn’t it be nice to leave him here to show off his kindness and generosity?

Therefore, King Chen was able to enjoy his life in peace in this palace.

The official road was very dilapidated, covered with yellow leaves, and no one was cleaning it. There were no guards on the roadside. The two of them walked to the door of the antique palace, knocked on the door, and an old guard-looking man came out of the wing. He looked at the two of them: "You two are..."

Magistrate Yang took a step forward: "I am going to the magistrate of Quzhou Haining, Yang Wenze, to ask for an audience with His Highness King Chen. I don't know..."

The old man interrupted directly: "Sorry, my prince never sees an official. Please come back!"

Turn around and leave, preparing to close the door.

Lin Su spoke: "Old man, we came today not to pay official respects, but to pay our respects. The prince sent someone to the humble residence that day to give generous gifts. Xiaosheng did not dare to neglect and made a special trip to pay homage."

The old man stopped: "Who is sir?"

"Haining Linsu."

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up: "It turned out to be the Third Young Master Lin who wrote "The Book of Wine". This unique poem of the Third Young Master is the prince's favorite. He has also mentioned it many times, hoping to get an inscription written by the Third Young Master himself. Today, the young master has made a special trip to visit, and the prince is going to be extremely happy... Please come quickly! Please come quickly!"

The middle door was wide open, and the old man led the way, happily welcoming the two of them into the palace.

Magistrate Yang had a constipated look on his face. He applied for the title of magistrate himself, but was turned away. As soon as the Third Young Master's name was announced, he immediately opened the door to welcome him. Is the difference so far away?

Lin Su sent him a message. Don't be angry. It's not that people look down on you as a prefect, it's just that your status is quite sensitive and it's not easy for you to make friends with people in the officialdom.

This is true.

Prince Chen's Mansion is large and extremely elegant, and the courtyard design is extremely ingenious. The master of garden design is definitely better than the Lin family designer Fu Bajie, and he also takes care of it very meticulously. This may be Prince Chen's only pleasure at the moment, building a courtyard and following it. Some celebrities strolled in the garden, invited some opera troupes to sing in the garden, drank wine, admired flowers and women...

There are so many maids in Prince Chen's Mansion, and the mansion still has a royal atmosphere.

Passing through Sanli Garden, there is a small lake in front of it. There is a large pavilion in the lake. Inside the pavilion is the prince's favorite lake center pavilion.

Several servants appeared in front, led by a maid, who was as arrogant as a white swan. At this moment, the swan's neck was bent, but its expression was still very arrogant: "My prince stayed drunk yesterday and went to bed at dawn today. Two distinguished guests, in the morning I’m afraid I won’t be able to see the prince, so why not wait in the side hall for a while?”

"Miss Ge Xin!" The steward who led the way bowed and said, "Old servant naturally knows that the prince needs to rest every morning, and other guests do not dare to disturb the prince at this time. The distinguished guest here today has written "The wine will be served" Third Young Master Lin."
