After coming out of Deng Qi's camp, Qu Shixi greedily breathed the fresh air in the wild. He felt that Deng Qi's camp was covered with dirty air. If he stayed for a moment, he would feel suffocated.

It's good that this is the case. With someone like Deng Yan, for Dong Lin, it may be more harmful than good. It's better to throw Deng Yan to Wen Tiren and let Wen Tiren make things difficult for him.

Qu Shisi kept taking stock of Donglin's current situation and couldn't help but sigh. At present, only Zhou Shipu, the Minister of Works, was left in the court, who struggled to support him under the suppression of Wen Tiren. Wen Tiren could not control the diligent Zhu Youjian, as long as Zhou Shipu did not lose his holy heart, his status would be unbreakable.

But Zhou Shipu had to create a sufficient number of plate armor and steel crossbows to satisfy the eager Zhu Youjian. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable if Zhu Youjian was interested. Zhou Shipu tried his best to squeeze out some funds to build plate armor and steel crossbows. Fortunately, the plate armor was just a matter of looking at the style, spending more effort and spending more money, so that the steel crossbows would not be impossible. But steel crossbows were difficult. Zhou Shipu gathered the skilled craftsmen of the Military Weapon Bureau, and has not yet figured out what kind of material the steel arm of the steel crossbow is made of.

Zhou Shipu, who was anxious and angry, immediately sent him to Jingzhou left and right guards to recruit craftsmen. Unexpectedly, Jingzhou left and right guards were confused about this matter. Zhou Shipu had to admit a fact: plate armor and steel crossbow were forged by Lin Chunhong privately!

After learning about this inside story, Zhou Shipu was given a treasure and immediately informed Qu Shisi, hoping that the Donglin Party could hold this handle firmly. At the same time, he also hoped that Qu Shisi would take action personally and ask Lin Chunhong to help the Ministry of Works to solve this problem.

This is the main purpose of Qu Shixi coming to Shunde Prefecture. One is to suppress Lin Chunhong's arrogance, and the other is to ask Lin Chunhong to send craftsmen to support Zhou Shipu.

Qu Shixi was also calm and threw out two messages, waiting for Lin Chunhong to beg him. Unexpectedly, after waiting for nearly ten days, Lin Chunhong never mentioned any other matters except for inviting him to watch the training camps every day.

Time passed quietly in the patient competition, until one day, Qu Shixi received a report from his servant: Wen Yuren arrived in Shunde Prefecture and sent a message to Lin Chunhong!

Qu Shishi was furious and scolded: Wolf ambition! Lu Bu, a slave from the three surnames! I was actually made by a boy who was still fucked...

Calm down, Qu Shixi lamented: It's different now. He actually saw through the joints of the private weapon. Since he could see through the joints, it would never be possible to throw himself into Wen Tiren's arms, otherwise Lin Chunhong would face the thunderous anger of the court.

Things are still possible!

Qu Shixiu did not hesitate and immediately went to Jingzhou camp. Unexpectedly, Lin Chunhong smiled as soon as he saw Qu Shixiu, "I was about to invite you to invite me, but Mr. Hun came. There was something that needed to be discussed with me."

Qu Shixi asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

"Wen Yuren gave a message to him, but the students could not understand his intention. Please ask for advice from the teacher." Lin Chunhong bowed and replied.

Qu Shixi said: "General Lin won four consecutive victories, and Jingzhou archers were famous in the country. Wen Yuren came to visit with great help. What's so strange about it?"

"Sir, I'm here to tease the students again. If Wen Tiren is known as cunning, how can he send his younger brother to run around casually? If Wen Tiren wants to win over the students, it's too incredible. How can a great master look down on such a martial artist?"

Lin Chunhong's words meant to show his political attitude, which made Qu Shixi feel very relieved: at least in the short term, it is unlikely that Lin Chunhong would be fully embraced by Wen Tiren.

Qu Shisi looked serious and said, "I will be relieved if General Lin knows that Wen Tiren is cunning. I can't understand Wen Yuren's purpose. But I want to remind you that Wen Tiren is definitely not a simple person. Since the second year of Chongzhen, many court officials have been obsessed with him. Not to mention the distance, I will just say that Master Zhou was also ruined by him? You must be careful to deal with Wen Tiren and think more about the consequences in everything!"

Lin Chunhong bowed and agreed, which made Qu Shixi completely relieved and stopped playing with power tricks at the moment, saying bluntly: "I have another thing to ask General Lin for help."

Lin Chunhong paused and said, "Why are you so polite? If you have something, please tell me. As long as the students can do it, they will never dare to refuse."

"Shangshu Zhou of the Ministry of Works was ordered by the emperor to supervise the construction of plate armor and steel crossbows. Unexpectedly, the steel crossbows were never known for what to forge. General Lin was closely connected with the Jingzhou garrison. Can he give some advice?" Qu Shizi knew that Lin Chunhong would not admit to privately making weapons, so he made the mistake and said that the plate armor and steel crossbows were made by Jingzhou garrison.

Lin Chunhong laughed in his heart, nainai, old fox, knowing that this is not a threat to me, he changed his tone and changed his face as easy as flipping a book. However, you must not give advice, otherwise this is not the same as admitting that privately made weapons is a fact? Besides, elastic steel is the commercial secret of Bangtai Business, how can it be spread casually?

So, Lin Chunhong said: "It's not easy to tell me. However, there is still a lot of inventory in the student army. Zhou Shangshu needs it, so it's better to just move some of it from here. However, the student has a reluctant request and hopes that Mr. will forgive me. Jingzhou Prefecture supplies more than 7,000 soldiers to fight, which is really difficult. This steel crossbow was bought with real money and silver. Mr., see if it can..."

Qu Shixi laughed, interrupted Lin Chunhong and said, "Don't worry, the court can take advantage of you. As for the price, Zhou Shangshu will send someone to contact you, and he will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Students have something to ask for. Students have always admired great scholars and learned from Bailudong Academy to set up a Xingzhi Bookstore in Zhijiang to promote Confucianism. Students have always suffered from the fact that the reputation of the Bookstore is not prominent and cannot attract more scholars. They want to invite Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhang to give lectures in the Bookstore."

Jingzhou and Yiling are far from being a place of cultural heritage, and there are very few scholars. In the years since the Xingzhishu Hall was held, in addition to cultivating some lower-level officials and craftsmen, they are far from meeting the requirements of establishing internal sects. Lin Chunhong hopes to use Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu's reputation among scholars to make scholars pay attention to Xingzhishu Hall.

As long as they pay attention to Xingzhi Shutang, they will find the differences in the Shutang, and interested scholars will come to their reputation. With the huge base of the Ming scholars, Lin Chunhong believes that he will gather many useful talents.

Qu Shixi laughed and said, "Haha, the generals of the battle formation have also tried their best to run academy, which really makes me admire him. Since you asked, I will tell you about the interests of you, but if the two gentlemen agree, I dare not promise, so just wait."

Lin Chunhong was overjoyed and immediately bowed to thank him.

Shen Wenlin had already found out about Wen Yuren's purpose of going south. After Lin Chunhong received the report, he was ridiculous and terrified. It turned out that Wen Yuren was responsible for a noble task in this trip: to find a way to resolve the financial crisis for the Ming Empire!

It seems that after Wen Tiren became the chief minister of the cabinet, he had huge administrative resources and also carried the mess of the Ming Empire. Wen Tiren, who was considered a treacherous minister, made his highest goal, but he also wanted to manage the old empire well. After anyone took office, he wanted to do things well and leave a heavy mark in history.

Lin Chunhong didn't know why Wen Yuren used Zhijiang as the destination for his inspection. Perhaps Gao Doushu accidentally let his mouth go when he bragged about his political achievements.

What exactly should Wen Yuren see? Lin Chunhong is now thinking about this issue.

Why not let Wen Yuren see the measures to rent land in Zhonghui King? Maybe Wen Tiren can really make some achievements in the land policy of the Ming Dynasty and give more guarantees to the common people with many disasters. However, this is too difficult for Wen Tiren. The Ming Dynasty knows that the root of the current financial crisis lies in the fact that there is too little land available for tax collection, but who dares to take action on this? Even Zhang Juzheng, the chief dominating the court at the time, dared not raise this question.

Lin Chunhong did not believe that Wen Tiren would risk his disgrace to change the land policy of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, let Wen Yuren look at Zhijiang's goods warehouse and oil pressing workshop, so that he can truly appreciate the benefits of collecting commercial tax. If Wen Tiren can put some effort into commercial tax, this will be of good benefit to the current Ming Empire.

As for Bailizhou, you must not let Wen Yuren climb up, you have to be careful.

However, Wen Yuren probably wouldn't have imagined that Zhijiang's core is Bailizhou. A guy like this who is highly keen and low-key will never have the patience to wait for a broken island to visit.

"Cheng Si, Cheng Si..." Lin Chunhong shouted. "Go and call Master Lu, I have something to discuss..."

After seeing Wen Yuren, Lin Chunhong was shocked by the romantic and elegant Wen Yuren. This guy seemed to have forgotten the purpose of the trip and kept cursing Fushe during the conversation.

"What is Fushe? It is a group of rioters trying to control the government. It's pitiful and lamentable. The scholars in the world flocked to him and were deceived by Fushe. It would be better to say that Fushe was manipulating the imperial examination and using small actions as scholars to gain the promotion level! His heart is devastated! Zhang Pu is so arrogant and uninformed in affairs. He thinks that if he has a little fame among scholars, he can do whatever he wants and does not take the court seriously! Such thieves should be cut into pieces..."

Wen Yuren's mouth was flying, and he treated Lin Chunhong as the best person to listen.

Wen Yuren's clumsy test method can't be hidden from Lin Chunhong. Wen Yuren just wanted to understand Lin Chunhong's perception of Fushe and lay the foundation for cooperation. Lin Chunhong had no good feelings for the Donglin Party and Fushe. Wen Yuren scolded Zhang Pu, and Lin Chunhong deeply felt the same. The two sides' perceptions of Fushe were indeed not far different.

Lin Chunhong listened at Wen Yuren's condemnation intently and nodded from time to time.

When Wen Yuren said his happiness, Lin Chunhong cursed indignantly: "Brother Ren Bing's words are considered to be in my heart. Zhang Pu regards members of the Fushe as disciples and often uses power without the consent of his disciples. It is said that Zhang Pu also secretly bribed some senior officials, and is a complete hypocrite!"

Lin Chunhong's words made Wen Yuren happy. He couldn't help but stand up, held Lin Chunhong's hands tightly, and said excitedly: "Brother Lin, brother, I was bewitched by Zhang Puzhi's reputation and wanted to do something with him. After arriving in Loudong, I saw clearly the essence of this guy. He was just a hypocrite!"

Lin Chunhong and Wen Yuren were confidants for a while, constantly expressing their regret of meeting too late. As for how sincere the two sides are, no one knows.

Wen Yuren Shen said mysteriously: "To be honest with Brother Lin, Wu Kexian of Yixing was very dissatisfied with the manipulation of the imperial examinations by Zhang Pu and other hypocrites, and wanted to write a script to expose their ugly behavior!"

Lin Chunhong flashed with an inspiration and blurted out: "Legend of Green Peony?"

Wen Yuren was shocked and asked, "Brother Lin and Brother Kexian are old friends? How can I know the legend of Green Peony?"

Lin Chunhong hurriedly concealed: "I have some small business in Yixing, so I know a lot about Yixing."

Wen Yuren nodded and smiled, "That's it, but before Brother Xian's masterpiece was completed, his reputation spread. It can be seen that there are countless people who hate Zhang Fu! This opera must be very popular!"

Lin Chunhong said: "Brother Ren Bing's words are very reasonable. I wish I could see this drama happen tomorrow! Haha, the whole Jiangnan will be performing a big drama, exciting! exciting!"

Wen Yuren also laughed.

Lin Chunhong wrote a letter to Zhijiang's envoy to prepare for Wen Yuren's investigation. At the same time, in order to reassure Qian Qianyi and Qu Shisi, Lin Chunhong immediately informed Qu Shisi of Wen Yuren's intention to satirize the resumption of the society through opera. Lin Chunhong knew that the political two-faced faction has always been both sides of the same face. At present, his strength is still very weak and he cannot become a political faction of du Li. He can only firmly stand his own position and put himself secretly in the Donglin Party. As for Wen Yuren, he can come to study and investigate. If he asks him to do something, he cannot agree yet.

After the news of Wen Yuren's arrival in Shunde Prefecture spread, he received countless invitations, and some people even went to the inn in person to deliver generous gifts to Wen Yuren. There was only Li Andong who belonged to the Donglin lineage and had always seen Wen Tiren's words and deeds, let alone currying against Wen Tiren's younger brother Wen Yuren.

Under Wen Tiren's harsh warning, Wen Yuren refused all the banquets and turned them out, which made Lin Chunhong secretly amazed and felt a little fond of Wen Tiren.

Three days later, Wen Yuren was about to leave Shunde Prefecture and head south. Lin Chunhong received a military order from the Ministry of War: Arrival in Weihui, Henan within 15 days, and join forces with Zuo Liangyu to encircle and suppress the bandits. Lin Chunhong said to Wen Yuren: "I originally wanted to spend a few more days with Brother Ren Bing, but Brother Ren Bing has something to do. I should have sent my brothers, but the military orders are hard to violate. What a pity!" There was a sense of regret in his words.

Wen Yuren put his mouth close to Lin Chunhong's ear and whispered: "To be honest, brother, I am going to Zhijiang to learn from Brother Lin this time. Brother Lin's financial management skills alarmed the emperor. The future is limitless!"

Lin Chunhong pretended to be shocked, and didn't even know that the horse whip in his hand fell to the ground, murmured: "How is this possible..."

Wen Yuren rode on the horse and laughed: "Brother Lin, we are brothers, so I won't talk about these false rituals, we will have a date later..."
