Lord of the House

Under the candlelight, She Feihu stared at Xisha Island on the map on the case.

After the **** battle of Jiyang, the thirteen Donghai families of the Huimeng not only suffered heavy casualties, but also suffered a serious blow to their morale.

One thing went up and another went up. The Ninghai Town navy did not give him a complete crippling blow, but instead his morale improved. In particular, Gu Wuchen's reputation had greatly increased and his status was stable. Xiao Taoyuan, the commander of the sixth battalion navy in Ninghai Town, wanted to curry favor with Gu Wuchen, which was his relationship with Lin Fu. No matter how bad it is, if Xisha Island is attacked again, Junshanzhai will probably not stand idly by.

That is to say, they will not have the chance to pull out the nail on Xisha Island in a short time.

Xisha Island is located in the mouth of the Yangtze River, and is interdependent with the teeth and lips of the Ninghai Zhenjun cottage, locking the gate of the Yangtze River. Jun Shanzhai may not be a cause for concern, but Lin Fu's attitude is unusually strong and positive. If Lin Fu is fully controlled on Xisha Island, it will be very painful for Donghai soldiers to enter and leave the Yangtze River in the future.

If the Xisha Island is attacked by force, the casualties will be too great to bear; if the Xisha Island is not attacked, it will enter the Yangtze River, and the future will be threatened. It's okay to be threatened by others, but the way back is in Lin Bing's hands, how can people feel at ease?

She Feihu said to Qin Zitan, "I think whether it's Shengsi Island or my side, we have to send someone to dive to Xisha Island, and we can rest assured if we find out the situation..."

Qin Zitan frowned. It was easy to send someone to sneak in. There was more than 100 miles around Xisha Island, and it was impossible for Lin Fu to send someone to guard it. However, in the current situation, it was difficult to have in-depth contact with the islanders. You can't get accurate information with your eyes.

Most of the officers used in Prison Island were locals from Jiangning. No matter how tight Lin Fu's control was, they could still find out some news. However, Xisha Island is like a darkness shrouded in black fog, and no other forces have penetrated. The connection between Xisha Island and the outside world is almost controlled by Jiyun Club, and the refugees on Xisha Island have almost no contact with the outside world. information?

Qin Zitan thought to himself that he could only analyze the situation on Xisha Island from the news from Chongzhou County's official channels, but Lin Fu will honestly report every plant and tree on Xisha Island to Chongzhou County, do you know? Qin Zitan thought about it with his toes and knew that Lin Fu couldn't be such an honest person.

Qin Zitan didn't talk about intelligence gathering, and turned to other topics: "Lin Fu will keep Jiyun Weiyong on Xisha Island, but the Hu family who directly controls the village camp on Xisha Island can't be seen through... The Hu family is originally a small clan in Chongzhou. , Lin Fu only occasionally rescued Hu Zhicheng in Jiangzhong. On the surface, it seems that he cannot directly intervene in the affairs of Xisha Island. He must use the Hu family to ease the tension with Chongzhou, but the Hu family has little influence in Chongzhou and has no resources. , wouldn't it be more appropriate to use Li Shuyi from the Li family? Lin Fu is considered a kindness of the whole family to the Li family."

"Perhaps the Hu family is easier to control..." Song Jia said, "Besides, Li Shuyi of the Li family is also the official in Chongzhou County who is directly responsible for the establishment of households for the refugees on Xisha Island."

"This is where people can't see through," Qin Zitan said, "Is Lin Fu ambitious or not?"

She Feihu frowned deeply, and the question Qin Zitan said made him unable to understand.

Lin Bie has to be ambitious, and he can control it while the Lin family is under the fence of Jiangning.

Lin Fu himself is a child of the Lin clan, and has a high reputation among the younger generation, and Lin Mengde and other important figures of the Lin clan help. In the chaos of Hong Zepu, he also had the opportunity to take advantage of Lin Tingli. Without Lin Tingli's restraint, the Lin family in Jiangning were all orphans and widowed mothers, and no one would be able to compete with him. Mastering the Lin family and the private soldiers of the Lin family, Gu Wuchen naturally couldn't exclude him when he was training Dongyang Township Yong. With his means, the financial resources of the Lin family, and the connections and power in Dongyang, with time, Dongyang Xiangyong will naturally be in his pocket.

At that time, regardless of his own official position, he is eligible to be up for sale.

In contrast, controlling the refugees on Xisha Island through the Hu family, a small clan in Chongzhou with no foundation and resources, to realize his ambitions is a difficult road several times over.

What's more, Xisha Island is just at the mouth of the Yangtze River. When the East China Sea soldiers recover from the defeat in the **** battle of Jiyang, they will definitely use troops against Xisha Island.

Not to mention the outcome of the next war, even if Lin Bie has a very strong confidence, in the case of a better choice, who will root the foundation of his ambition in the most intense conflict area?

She Feihu and Qin Zitan previously believed that Lin Fu would not withdraw from Xisha Island, but mainly wanted to seize the key point of Xisha Island and help Gu Wuchen stabilize the situation in Jiangdong. They also believed that Lin Fu's personal ambition was mainly to be aggressive in his career.

Although many things happened from Lin Fu to Jiangning, although selfishness is not excluded, the main thing is to help Gu Wuchen to gain a firm foothold in Jiangning and take the initiative.

If Lin Fu didn't withdraw from Xisha Island and had no other thoughts, it would not make sense to use the Hu family or the Li family.

Song Jia watched the two men under the lamp with grief-stricken faces, stretched out, stood up, and said, "Why can't Lin Bie have two birds with one stone? Are you sure that you will be able to successfully capture Xisha Island in the future?"

"Lin Bie has to be ambitious, why did he miss the opportunity to control the Lin Clan?" She Feihu asked.

"Unpromising men will only think about fighting in the nest," Song Jia said, covering her red lips with a blow, with a charming and charming expression, "If the Lin family is so wealthy, maybe Lin Bie doesn't take it seriously; When the Lin clan withdrew to Jiangning, Lin Furuo took advantage of the fire to rob and fight for his head and blood, and the result must be better than now? I think you men are all poisoned by power struggles, only conspiracy, and only use My own little chicken is going to speculate on others, and it's strange if my eyes are not blinded... I won't interrupt you, you have a headache, I'm going to sleep, I can't hold it anymore. Oh, by the way, Zhao Shuhan, the head of the Punishment Department, is here the day after tomorrow. Hekou Zhutang lectures on prison studies, if I want to join in the fun, will it be inconvenient?"

She Feihu smiled bitterly. Now Li Zhuo and Wang Xueshan have sent people to watch here. He was not happy to go out and walked around. He nodded and said, "If you want to relax, just go." Watching his wife leave, his eyes Back on the map again.

There are not many places to support the people on Xisha Island. It is already reluctant to resettle 10,000 or 20,000 refugees. How can there be surplus money to support soldiers?

Judging from the data reported by Chongzhou County to the county department, after the two major disasters and dispersal of Xisha Island, the remaining number is less than 10,000.

This data is a bit small compared to the information they have obtained before, but judging from the undeveloped state of Xisha Island, it is already very difficult to settle ten thousand people in two or three years. Lin Fu really did not hide it. Human needs.

When the She Family was at its peak, it controlled more than 2 million people and raised nearly 100,000 soldiers. Lin Bing controlled a small population, and raising 1,000 soldiers was the limit. Even if he had ambitions, the ambitions were too small, and they were far from comparable. Controlling the forest clan is powerful.

Qin Zitan held the candlestick and moved it to the map, and couldn't help but glanced at Song Jia's back, who was helping the goalkeeper; Song Jia looked back with a sense of feeling, and saw that Qin Zitan's eyes had moved to the map, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. And go.

*********

Lin Fu himself didn't feel anything about being promoted from the rank to the seventh-rank Xuan Yilang. In his opinion, the Dayue Dynasty was precarious, the building was about to collapse, and there was no future for him to become an official of the Dayue Dynasty. Although the rank increases, the salary will increase, but it is not equal to the official and the actual power.

During this period of time, apart from recuperating, Lin Bie did not have anything special to do in Hekou, and spent more time hanging out with Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu in his spare time.

After the banquet, Lin Fu still invited Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu to the thatched cottage for tea, and discussed the manuscript with the copper oil lamp.

Ge Fu and Ge Siyu and their sons have been compiling "Jianzuo Jingzhu"; after Zhao Shuhan was completely disappointed with his career, with Lin Fu's suggestion and support, he began to compile the encyclopedia-style magnificent work "Craftsman's Canon".

The Qingliu scholar-bureaucrat in the world was ashamed of production, and regarded miscellaneous craftsmanship as a strange / obscene art. However, even a junior high school student in his later life could say that "technology is the primary productive force" and "the economic foundation determines the superstructure". Class words come.

Lin Fu believes that the root cause of the unavoidable demise of the Great Yue Dynasty is not that the external strong enemy is difficult to overcome, but that the national finance is on the verge of collapse, and it is difficult to have a good plan to restore it.

In the end, it came down to "silver", Lin Fu twisted the pages of the manuscript, and thoughtfully wandered under the lamp.

Lin Fu intends to base his foundation on Xisha Island, and he is not too worried about causing others to be wary and vigilant. The main reason is that Xisha Island has an open terrain, no danger to defend, and is at the forefront of the invasion of the East China Sea. Anyone with a little ambition will not. Will focus on Xisha Island.

Even without considering the constraints of terrain and conflict between forces, the area around Xisha Island is about 200,000 mu, and only half of the land can be reclaimed as grain fields, and it is already the limit to produce 200,000 shi of grain a year.

At its peak, the She family controlled more than half of the prefectures and counties in Dongmin County, with more than 2 million people. When it mobilized nearly 100,000 troops, it was already on the verge of collapse financially, and finally had to accept Zhao Angui and retreat to Jin. Anfu came to rest and recuperate.

With the limited productivity of Xisha Island, even if it is developed well, it is already the limit to raise 20,000 islanders and organize more than 1,000 township soldiers.

Lin Fu's envoys Lin Mengde and Hu Zhiyong strictly controlled the total number of newly created refugee households in Xisha Island, and finally reported more than 2,100 households, including more than 9,800 people in Dingkou, Chongzhou County, Hailing Prefecture and Jiangdong Xuan. The Minister of Justice has no doubts about this data. They can't be suspicious either. After all, considering that Xisha Island is still in an undeveloped state, it is already extremely difficult to settle these 9,800 people in two or three years.

Even if Lin Fu accidentally revealed his ambition to control Xisha Island at this time, maybe more people would just laugh at him for being frivolous and ignorant of economics.

However, Lin Fu knew that controlling Xisha Island was very promising.

The difference in production mode determines the fundamental difference in the population base that can be supported on the same piece of land and the ability of military organizations.

Since the production capacity of fertile fields in Chongzhou County has reached more than five stone per mu, Lin Fu is also confident to transform the barren land in Xisha Island into fertile fields with a yield of five stones per mu or even higher.

Prison Island uses captive pigs to compost the vegetable garden, and the vegetable garden is much higher than the surrounding fertile fields.

More efficient and larger-scale manual workshop operations than traditional manual workshops will be able to accommodate more surplus population and generate more surplus financial resources.

He used a large spinning wheel operated by six or seven people to spin cotton yarn on Prison Island, and the per capita spinning volume was more than four times higher than before.

In the past, Lin Fu used Prison Island as his experimental field. Now that he has Xisha Island, he can test feasible farming and production organization models on Prison Island, and he can take it to Xisha Island to vigorously promote it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But Lin Fu's later generations The knowledge mastered is seriously out of touch with the contemporary handicraft production process.

Later generations used bolts to fix and assemble objects. According to Lin Bie's requirements, the craftsmen of Prison Island can also make suitable bolts, but to make one bolt requires a skilled craftsman to work around the clock for seven or eight days, and the cost is staggeringly high. .

In the end, Lin Bie just put the bolt on the desk to watch as a handicraft, and never mentioned the bolt again.

Based on this premise, Lin Fu urgently needed to have a comprehensive and thorough understanding of contemporary handicraft production techniques and techniques, so he asked Zhao Shuhan to compile the "Artisan Canon".

Zhao Shuhan's knowledge and knowledge are superior to ordinary people. In addition, Jiangning is the southern capital of the empire, with a collection of humanistic paintings and a collection of artisans, which provides many conveniences for compiling the "Artisan Canon".

Lin Fu also wants to attract more skilled craftsmen to directly participate in the compilation of "Craftsmanship" by publicly promoting the art of miscellaneous craftsmanship in Hekou, and to attract some craftsmen to directly enter the workshop opened by Jiyun Society in Hekou. , and then transport it to Xisha Island.

One of the things Lin Tingxun did during his lifetime that was beneficial to the Lin family was to set up a free school to support the children of the Lin family and Shanglinli to study. The children of excellent students take the scientific examination as the training goal.

The Gu family has been in decline for ten years, and the younger generation has almost no one available. The young children of the Lin family can just pull one of them and stand alone. This was also the key reason why Gu Wuchen had to rely on the Chonglin family.

After the Lin clan retreated to the Hekou, Lin Fu took the initiative to undertake the responsibility of establishing a free school. The purpose was also very simple. In addition to literacy and arithmetic, he also added basic miscellaneous studies.
