Chapter 174: Return To Guobei County To Explore The Causes Of The Depression

Three days later, the four of Lin Dong finally arrived in Guobei County.

Just looking at it, I feel something is wrong.

Compared with the last time he left, whether it was the flow of people on the street or the business, it was much more depressed.

With doubts, Lin Dong led the two green and white snakes back to the own mansion quickly.

"Master is back!"

As soon as they saw his figure, the servants rushed to tell each other while saying hello.

When he came to the hall, Cai Yan was already waiting inside.

"Hello sister!"

"Hi ma'am!"

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing took the initiative to say hello to Cai Yan.

"These two are Little Sister, welcome home!"

Cai Yan showed enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, quite the demeanor of a big lady.

Lin Dong glanced blank again, and blamed: "The two Little Sisters are back, why didn't the master inform me, so that I can prepare myself!"

Hearing this, Xiaoqing waved her hands again and again: "I'm just a maid!"

Cai Yan was kind and enthusiastic, and said with undiminished enthusiasm: "Little Sister is so cute, it will happen sooner or later!"

For Lin Dong's character, she has been with her for so long, but she is very clear.

"no no!"

Xiaoqing blushed and repeatedly denied it.

"No, no, it's my sister who is being abrupt!"

Cai Yan grabbed the little hands of the two girls, smiled sweetly and said, "The two Little Sisters are newcomers, so the older sister will arrange a room for you first!"

"Thank you sister!"

Bai Suzhen was polite and gave a big gift.

"Don't be so polite, since we are all sisters, just be casual!"

Cai Yan took the two green and white snakes to their room after speaking.

Lin Dong scratched his hair, as if he had nothing to do.

So Jin went straight to own bedroom, jumped and lay down on the bed.

I still feel more comfortable here.

Although Hangzhou Mansion is relatively prosperous, it is not as relaxing as the home in Guobei County.

After going out for more than four months, of course I have to comfort the two beautiful wives at home.

Whether it was Bai Suzhen or the three ghosts in the wooden sign, they were very sensible and didn't come to disturb them that night.

Until the noon of the next day, Dong Tuan woke up from being surrounded by two beautiful wives.

Another family had a big meal with He Meimei, and then they began to call their subordinates to ask about the current situation of Guobei County.

In the evening, except for Dian Wei, all the subordinates in Guobei County had arrived.

In fact, there were not many people, only Lin Da, Jia Xu, Gao Shun who presided over the bodyguard bureau, and Cai Yan who was standing behind, barely added up to four people.

As for Lu Bu, who had been staying in Guobei County before, he went out with Cao Cao and the others to "expand the territory" at the beginning of the year.

"Tell me, what happened during this time?"

Lin Dong boldly sat on the main seat, although his behavior was quite casual, but also dignified.

Gao Shun stood up and said respectfully: "My lord, a group of soldiers came to Guobei County last month and wanted to station here, but they were repulsed by the nobles in the United County!"

Lin Dong's eyes flickered, and he asked with a smile, "No loss, right?"

"More than a dozen people were killed, and a hundred were injured, but all the dead were servants of other wealthy families. We only injured a few people, and there was almost no loss!"

Gao Shun shook his head, and continued to report: "The group of soldiers didn't have an edict and they acted without authorization. They should be soldiers from the nearby guards. I don't know if they were bewitched by others.

Hit the autumn wind.

"What did the magistrate say?" Lin Dong asked.

Gao Shun said disdainfully: "This is his territory, even he can't get enough to eat, so naturally he doesn't want others to come and snatch it. We and a few wealthy families sent some money to him to go up there to get some food, so it should be no problem!"

"That's good!"

Lin Dong nodded slightly.

He remembered that when Ning Caichen came out of prison in the second book of A Chinese Ghost Story, Guobei County had changed a lot.

In the first part, although the law and order were not very good, there was still some order, and there were many pedestrians on the street, and he was even shown the way to Lanruo Temple.

In the second part, there were not many people on the street at all, and the robbers wanted to chop up Ning Caichen and eat meat in broad daylight. You can imagine the chaos in Guobei County.

Presumably this group of soldiers did it, or there may be other reasons, Lin Dong has no way of knowing.

But now, Guobei County is his base camp, and naturally no other armed forces are allowed to invade.

With the foundation left by Lu Bu back then, and Gao Shun's well-trained bodyguards, the group of soldier shops would not be so easy to succeed.

It can be regarded as indirectly protecting the tranquility of Guobei County.

As for the other wealthy families in the county, they are certainly not fools. Once the group of soldiers are allowed to invade, they will have no good end and will naturally help them.

After going through a war, even though it was small, it still had an impact on Guobei County, and it was normal for it to be depressed for a while.

Such a simple matter, Lin Dong can guess it with a little reasoning.

Then he asked Jia Xu, "Is Cao Cao doing well?"

"It's nothing serious at the moment, they can solve it with their abilities!"

Jia Xu is still the same, very salty.

But Lin Dong still trusts him very much, since he said there is no problem, he doesn't care about it anymore.

"My lord, there is no big problem here! It's just that there have been more refugees nearby recently, and our land is not enough to rent!" Lin Da volunteered.

"There is not enough land, so go buy it!"

Lin Dali responded naturally, and then asked: "Is there enough money and food at home?"

"There is no shortage of silver and food, but the land is hard to buy. Most of them are in the hands of landlords and wealthy families. The land is their lifeline to them, and they will not sell it even if it is paid a premium!"

Compared with Jia Xu and the others, Lin Da still lacks ability, so he can only report everything.

Lin Da didn't even think about it, and directly threw the problem to Jia Xu: "You solve this matter!"

The subordinates are used to work, otherwise why bother to exchange them.

"promise!"

With a bitter face, Jia Xu reluctantly agreed.

"Also, if there are refugees in the future, try to find a way to absorb them. Even if the land is not enough, you can build more factories and train them to be workers, or you can open more restaurants and train them (Wang Zhao) to become waiters. There will always be There is a solution! If you have any difficulties, you can come to me!"

Lin Da gave a final instruction.

Refugees are all homeless people, but whoever has a little hope will not leave home.

If left unattended, very few people would survive, starve to death or freeze to death.

As a person who has received modern education and the Three Views are fairly correct, he can count as accumulating merit if he helps out as much as he can.

"Nothing!"

Lin Da bent down to salute.

"If it's okay, go down!"

Lin Dong dismissed these guys with a wave of his hand.

As for Cai Yan, although she was also in charge of the telegraph machine in Lin Fu, she only existed as an information center.

Only when Jia Xu and the others can't figure it out, will she be asked to report to Lin Dong, the master.

After learning about the situation in Xiaguobei County, Lin Dong also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it is the base camp, and the whole family lives here, so it is best not to go out of the group.
