As the end of the year approaches, Bangtai is filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

Laba Festival is the opening gong of the New Year. After eating delicious Laba porridge, the people began to prepare for the New Year. In Huguang, Sichuan and other places, wealthy families have the habit of killing fat pigs, smoked bacon, and making sausages. Therefore, the fat pigs' despair call filled the mountains and fields before their death, bringing a festive atmosphere to the New Year.

However, this year's formation seems to be much more spectacular than before, and the pigs' screams are heard one after another. Children even stole the pig's bladder, blew it in, kicked it as a ball, chasing and playing everywhere, making adults scold: "Prodigal son! Look at you, I'll beat you up! After this thing is fried, it's just for wine!"

Just as he was cursing, suddenly the neighbor's greetings came: "Aunt, this year is good. A fat pig killed 200 kilograms..."

The lord immediately changed his face and sighed in a sarcastic voice: "Oh, what's this? It's like killing a mouse, and it's far from driving the Zhang family!"

Although his face felt like he was lost, he was secretly happy.

In this situation, you can see everywhere in Jingzhou and Yiling. The farmers have a trend of comparative competition. They must slaughter pigs before the New Year, and the pigs must be bigger than others, which is so much more respectable.

After comparing with slaughtering pigs, we began to compete with new clothes.

With more and more woolen workshops, sweaters began to enter the homes of ordinary people. Sweaters are good things. After putting on sweaters, you can take off your cotton jacket when you work. Unlike before, wearing cotton jackets is hot and cold when you take off your cotton jackets. As a result, sweaters quickly became popular in Jinghu, and ordinary people are proud of owning a sweater.

After putting on sweaters, the girls in the village unbuttoned the collar of the cotton jacket slightly, fearing that others would not see themselves wearing sweaters. After putting on sweaters, no matter how cold the weather was, they would take off their cotton jackets while working to show off their daughter-in-law's skills.

"Koizumiko, it's cold today, put on a cotton jacket!"

"It's not cold! With a sweater, why don't you feel cold..."

After saying that, Koizumi waved the shovel and was steaming all over her body...

In this way, when the Little New Year is coming, the preparations for the New Year have entered the sprint stage. Women have entered the busiest season of the year, clean up the dust in the house, paste window flowers, hang New Year pictures, stick lip couplets, and steam rice cakes. They are busy, commonly known as "Busy New Year".

The men were completely idle, traveling around, eating all over the place, and enjoying themselves so much that they could not be more happy. As the saying goes, "A woman is so busy that she is so busy that she is so idle that she is so lazy that she is so lazy that she is so lazy that she is so lazy that she is so lazy that she is so lazy that she is so busy that she is so lazy that she is so lazy that she is so lazy that she is so lazy that she is so busy.

Although Lin Chunhong is a man of standard standards, he is not in the ranks of "idle death". He is like a tiger ready to jump at any time, paying close attention to the surroundings. Other parts of the Ming Dynasty are not as full of hope as Jinghu.

The thief leader Gao Yingxiang spread to Hezhou, Nanzhili, killed the governor Li Hongye, and the censor Ma Rujiao and others. He then besieged Chuzhou and fought fiercely with Lu Xiangsheng in Zhulongqiao. Gao Yingxiang was unable to support him, so he returned to Henan, captured Mi County, Dengfeng County, and killed the general Tang Jiuzhou, entrenched in Nanzhao and Fangcheng area, and had a faint momentum to go south.

For a moment, Bao Zhedong's letter of request for help and Lu Xiangsheng's letter of inducing troops flew to Jingzhou like snowflakes.

Nanyang Prefecture has been regarded as the sphere of influence by Lin Chunhong, so how can we allow the bandits to be poisoned? So Lin Chunhong immediately summoned the envoy of the Pavilion to discuss the issue of sending troops.

"A rioter...hehe..." Guo Mingyan's eyes were filled with little stars, and saliva was almost flowing out, and he said with a smashing mouth.

No wonder Guo Mingyan is so greedy for the population. Since the large-scale mining of Tongbai and Changhua, Qiongzhou, Bangtai has always been in a state of shortage of artificiality. Later, the scale of dried fish production in Hong Kong Island became larger and larger, and the artificial demand was even more bottomless, making Bangtai's embarrassment more obvious.

"Free labor! If you catch hundreds of thousands, we will not lack labor..."

Guo Mingyan did not hide his greed at all and tried to incite Lin Chunhong to send troops on a large scale.

Zhu Zhiyu glanced at Guo Mingyan and said dissatisfiedly: "You have to be able to catch it! The rioters are not sheep, so they can catch them just by wanting to?"

Seeing that the two were off topic, Lin Chunhong immediately said: "The bandits threatened Nanyang, and Xiangyang was likely to be poisoned. Instead of being anxious and panicked at the beginning, it is better to plan ahead in advance. Therefore, the soldiers must be out, and according to the original plan, the Cavalry Camp, the Tiger Roar Army, and the Tianwu Army will go to Nanyang first. As for the capture of prisoners, it is impossible to mention it again. Once the war begins, the soldiers will be in danger, and only with victory is the thought. If other thoughts are mixed, it is likely to fall into the entire army in a dangerous situation!"

Zhang Daohan immediately took over the topic and rushed to say: "More than 10,000 troops are on an expedition, and the transportation of military supplies, money and grain is not a trivial matter. At present, the business transfer department has a heavy task. It is necessary to transport grain to Yangzhou with all its efforts, and it also takes into account the transportation of wealth and freight in various places. It has no spare time to supply more than 10,000 troops on the Nanyang front line!"

Lin Chunhong felt a little strange. The Transportation Department was affiliated with Bangtai Business. Guo Mingyan had not complained yet, so why did Zhang Daohan rush to complain?

While thinking, Zhu Zhiyu continued: "It's cold and the Han River is also closed for shipping, and the material cost of transporting is several times higher than usual! The business is for profitability and cannot transport money, grain and military supplies at a loss. I think it's better to organize the civilians to transfer the transport!"

Before Zhu Zhiyu's words could be finished, Guo Mingyan immediately said coldly: "There is no need for both of you to worry about the Transport Department! No matter what difficulties are there, the business has its own solution!"

Lin Chunhong suddenly realized that Zhang Daohan and Zhu Zhiyu tried to cut off the transfer function of the business and include it under the jurisdiction of the Zhongshu Mansion.

The conflict between the business name and the Zhongshu Mansion has been around for a long time. When Lin Chunhong first started his business, all functions were concentrated within the business name. Later, as the entire group became larger and larger, the Zhongshu Mansion, the Governor's Mansion and the Supervisory Office were separated from it. However, due to the environment at that time, this separation was not thorough, and the business name still took charge of the power of tax collection and material transportation in the warehouse.

Later, after Lin Chunhong sold all the goods warehouses and workshops, the merchant reluctantly handed over the power to collect taxes, but he still controlled the right to transport goods and regarded them as prohibited goods, and did not allow the Central Secretariat to intervene.

However, the transfer of goods involves building roads, digging of fiber paths, and building docks. These things inevitably need to deal with the Zhongshu Mansion. Not only does the Zhongshu Mansion require the Zhongshu Mansion to approve money and land, but also the Zhongshu Mansion to organize civil servants. As long as the two departments deal, conflicts will inevitably arise. The Zhongshu Mansion believes that he has paid and paid people, but as a result, he does not receive a penny in the finance department, and is full of resentment. The Shangcai believes that the Zhongshu Mansion is delaying everything and deliberately sets up a stumbling block for the Shangcai, and is also very angry.

Fortunately, both sides only vented their verbal words and did not take action, so Lin Chunhong tolerated it until now.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment of discussing the dispatch of troops, Zhang Daohan and Zhu Zhiyu joined forces to try to separate the transfer rights of the business.

Even though Lin Chunhong had already planned to split the business, how could the two of them ignore the overall situation and disrupt the situation? His face gradually became darker, and he stared at Zhang Daohan, Zhu Zhiyu and Guo Mingyan coldly.

Zhu Zhiyu was still unaware of it and was still making a fuss: "I think it would be better to simply establish a transportation department in the Zhongshu Mansion to specialize in the transfer matter, be responsible for building roads, bridges, and wharfs..."

Just as he was happy, Li Chongde next to him touched him with his arm and gave him a wink. Zhu Zhiyu woke up and looked at Lin Chunhong in shock and doubt.

"Zhangfu Order, Zhu Mu Envoy, Guo Mu Envoy! Now we are discussing sending troops! The military affairs involve the life and death of Bangtai. How can you fight here? Department adjustments and functional handovers are extremely complicated, and it requires careful planning and preparation. May I ask you three, where is the investigation letter? Where is the plan letter?"

Lin Chunhong's tone was quite stiff, which made the men of the police change their colors.

"Bangtai Pavilion is not a nest of bandits, nor is it a court that fights each other. You must not break the rules! In the future, if you have any suggestions, you will come up with investigation reports and plans, just like the last time the Grain Department was established. What I want to look at is the data, facts, not verbal and colorful flowers!"

After a few words, the Pavilion Guards were awakened and they stood up and bowed.

Lin Chunhong waved his hand and said, "Sit down. Then discuss, this time, the supply front line will be temporarily withdrawn from Xiangyang's reserves. Xiangyang's grain has more than 500,000 stones, and the military supplies are piled up like mountains. It is enough. Taking it from Xiangyang can save a lot of money. After opening it, it will be supplemented. As for the transfer... the Transport Department is responsible for the transfer department, and the Central Secretary's Office recruits civilians and assists the transfer department from the side!"

...

After discussing the military details, Lin Chunhong said: "In addition to dealing with bandits, the Donglin Party and the rich merchants in Jiangnan also need to concentrate on dealing with it. If you fight well, the Jiangnan land will allow us to go in and out. If it fails, our situation will be difficult. This battle can be divided into three categories: public opinion war, economic war, and political war. The so-called public opinion war is a battle to fight for scholars. The people will not care about the government affairs, loyalty and treacherous things, they only care about how much money they have earned, and whether there is still a meal after eating this meal. In the scholars, the Donglin Party has a deep roots and countless people have pumps. Therefore, the public opinion war will be very difficult. We should try our best to narrow the scope of the attack and not involve re-entering the society. Zhu Muzhan, this matter will be left to you. Remember, attacking the Donglin Party is a small matter, and promoting the prosperity is a big festival!"

Zhu Zhiyu bowed to accept the order.

Lin Chunhong continued: "As for economic wars and political wars, this is already being implemented, and I won't say much. Remember, Bangtai's situation is not good, and you still need to unite and focus on dealing with it. You must not be slacking off at all, nor do you fight each other and fall into internal friction!"

"On the eighth day of the first lunar month, I will personally lead my troops to eliminate the bandits. After passing this hurdle, Jiangnan and Henan will become our strategic depth. Whether it is to support the inner world or chase the deceased and chase the north, we will let us do it!"
