Yiling Warehouse has now become a large construction site. According to the warehouse management standards, the warehouse currently needs to undergo large-scale renovation: purchase more land, plan new functional areas, build more houses, and prepare for the construction of a winery... Lin Deshao was so busy that he was dizzy. Fortunately, Zhou Feng and Wang Er were able to help, so he would not be paralyzed. Li Chongde had been transferred by Lin Chunhong and was specializing in copywriting and dispatching.

"Wang Er, are the thirty pillars we need ready?" Lin Deshao asked Wang Er while wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"I went to Bailizhou and asked General Manager Zheng to promise to bring it in three days." Wang Er's usual careless look had disappeared, and he seemed a little steady.

Lin Deshao asked again: "Xiao Feng'er, Boss Lin said how much money can we get? It has cost us a lot of money to buy new land, and now the money is not enough."

"I told Li Xiucai that it doesn't matter how much money Li Xiucai said it doesn't matter how much money he wants. The key is to report the budget according to the warehouse management standards, and then allocate it after review." Zhou Feng replied.

Lin Deshao scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I can't recognize a few words, I understand the standard, but I don't know how to make a budget. You have to do this."

Zhou Feng smiled with a pursed lips and said, "Uncle Shao, don't worry, leave this to me, but I don't know how much it costs to hire a worker, so you need your advice."

"No problem. If you have any questions, come and ask me, make a budget and tell me, and then report it to Li Xiucai. Alas, Xiao Feng'er, this illiteracy is really a big problem. Wang Er, this little brat has learned faster than me, and even Xing'er knows more words than I do. It's so embarrassing."

When Wang Er saw him, he said, "I studied in a private school for two years when I was a child. If my father hadn't died early, I might have been a scholar."

Zhou Feng glared at Wang Er fiercely and said, "You are so beautiful. You will be proud of yourself if you praise you. You are so confused about your calculations. Even half of Uncle Shao can't catch up!"

It is strange that Zhou Feng is a virtuous girl in front of others, and in front of Lin Chunhong, Wang Er and others, it is a tigress, which makes people laugh. Wang Er stretches out his tongue, makes a face, and stops talking. Wang Er is very comfortable now, does not charge protection fees, and starts business. Now neighbors are gradually no longer afraid of him. Occasionally, there are bold people who joke with him. Some shop owners respectfully call him Boss Wang. He enjoys this feeling now and cherishes his current life. It is important to know literacy, so he learns to learn literacy with several people including Lin Deshao, and he lives a fulfilling life and feels at ease.

Although he was scolded by Zhou Feng, Wang Er was also responsible. He had to say what he should say: "Mr. Lin, Brother Li said that there were three sneaky people wandering around the construction site these days, and they also asked many people to inquire about our warehouse. I was worried that the three people were related to Maxu, so I arranged for Brother Li to follow him for a few days, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with Maxu. What do you think about this matter?"

When Zhou Feng heard this, he became interested and said, "Three people? No matter what they want to do, let's take a few people and then catch them!"

Lin Deshao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "If it is not right, they may not necessarily want to do anything. Maybe they are just curious. It is not good to catch people casually. Wang Er, just send a few brothers to follow him. Tell me in time if you have any questions."

Wang Er nodded and agreed. Now Lin Deshao arranged for Wang Er to be responsible for procurement and security matters, while Zhou Feng was responsible for finance and other matters. According to the regulations, there were still many people missing. Lin Deshao could not find someone who could be effective for a while, so he had to do many things himself.

The three were Zhang Zhao, Zhao Hehai and others. Li Mengshen was injured in his old nest due to a leg injury. Zhang Zhao was now inspecting to see how much Lin Chunhong's work could be done and whether it was worth taking his brothers to compete with him. The first stop was chosen as a warehouse in Yiling Prefecture. Shortly after entering Yiling, he found that there was a tail behind him. Zhang Zhao was very nervous at first, worried that he was from the government. Later, he found out that it was a warehouse who was from the warehouse, so he felt relieved and was secretly amazed at the scrutiny of the warehouse. Zhang Zhao and others found that Yiling Prefecture's warehouse is not only operating normally, but also being expanded. After the expansion, it is divided into storage areas, handicraft areas, grain and oil areas, clothing areas, grocery areas... This is not a warehouse, it is simply a commercial area of ​​Yiling Prefecture. Zhang Zhao thought: When the warehouse develops, wouldn't a quarter of the territory of Yiling Prefecture be controlled by Lin Chunhong? Even the goods prices in Yiling Prefecture may be manipulated by the warehouse.

This is a situation where the warehouse is not disturbed. As the saying goes, the county magistrate who destroyed the family and the governor who destroyed the family will lose all his money as long as the government interferes with it. Now Zhang Zhao understands why Lin Chunhong spent hundreds of taels of silver to buy a sesame official in front of him. When he enters the officialdom, he becomes popular and deeply understands the various branches. Thinking of the three or four hundred fully armed guards, he can see that they are elite soldiers who have experienced wars. Where did Lin Chunhong get so many armor and strong bows? Where did he fight? With this power, it is tantamount to rebellion. Is Lin Chunhong just trying to cover up his purpose of raising private soldiers? In addition, Lin Chunhong desperately recruits himself. With Lin Chunhong's financial resources and identity, as long as he does not do anything particularly extraordinary, will the Yangtze River Waterway be controlled in his hands?

The more Zhang Zhao thought about it, the more frightened he felt. He felt that it was necessary to go to Qingjiang to see what Lin Chunhong did there. He didn't want to delay for a moment, and immediately discussed with Zhao Hehai and others to go to Qingjiang. Zhao Hehai only mentioned a little, and was followed for several days, and at least he had to say hello to avoid being underestimated by Lin Chunhong. This proposal was agreed by Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao and the other three walked around the warehouse, and went to the alley of Yiling City, and crawled around. The people following behind were panting. If they were not careful, they lost them. They were looking around there, suddenly someone was patting their shoulders. When the people following them saw that it was Zhang Zhao and the other ones, they were stunned. Their feet had already solidified and could not take steps.

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "Surveying is not something that everyone can do. You three need to separate. Whoever is responsible for the alley needs a plan, and send people to wait at the critical intersection!"

The three people who followed him opened their mouths and didn't know what to say, Zhang Zhao hugged and said, "Please say hello to inspector Lin on behalf of Zhang Zhao." After that, he left with Zhao Hehai and others.

Zhang Zhao and the other two stayed in Yiling for one night, and set off to Biheyan early the next morning. When the three were still in the boat, someone shouted on the dock: "Is the boat Zhang Zhao brother?"

When Zhang Zhao and the other two heard this, they immediately picked up the Park Knife in the boat and secretly warned. Zhang Zhao shouted: "Which brother is on the shore?"

"I'm here to welcome some brothers." Zhang Zhao heard about Guo Mingyan when he was in Yiling, and saw that there was no one around him, so he signaled Zhao Hehai and others to put down the Park Knife. The three of them jumped ashore and greeted Guo Mingyan. Zhang Zhao and others were puzzled by Guo Mingyan's understanding that they were coming, so they couldn't help asking.

Guo Mingyan said: "Inspector Lin told us to greet the three of you ten days ago. It was only this morning that I learned from Lin Deshao that the three of you were coming this afternoon, so I was waiting here." These words made Zhang Zhao and the other two stunned. What they didn't know was that Lin Deshao had reported the characteristics and actions of the three of you long ago. Lin Chunhong guessed that it was Zhang Zhao and Zhao Hehai, and estimated that the three of you were understanding his affairs and would definitely go to Qingjiang, so he ordered Guo Mingyan to treat him well.

The group went to the Geheyan Warehouse, where Guo Mingyan held a banquet to entertain Zhang Zhao. During the meal, Guo Mingyan said: "To understand our affairs, in addition to Geheyan, there are several places to go to Yazikou and Xiaowanzi, where our warehouse is available. You can also go to Baiyadong and Sinan Chief of the Sinan Sui, and we have a lot of interactions with them."

Guo Mingyan told their purpose, which made Zhang Zhao and others a little embarrassed. After all, it was a matter of being unavailable to inquire about other people's affairs. Guo Mingyan seemed to be completely unwilling to care and said in a nagging manner: "The three woods in the Biheyan were also seen, and they piled up like mountains. Now the gang of rustic barbarians were trying hard to log wood, which made me not have much silver at hand now. We are now collecting a huge tree at the price of two taels of silver. The better wood is a bit floating according to the quality and thickness. Now we are short of fleets, and a lot of cargo and wood are not available to ship out."

"Sinan and Baiyadong have been trading with us for a long time. Now there are some small toasts. After the three arrived at the warehouse, they can see that there are a lot of red people. Those rustic barbarians also like to wear red clothes when they sell something."

...

Zhang Zhao felt that Lin Chunhong intentionally let them know so many things, and sent Guo Mingyan to explain it specifically. Zhang Zhao tended to defect to Lin Chunhong in Yiling. Now that he has arrived in Qingjiang, he has already made up his mind after hearing Guo Mingyan say so much, but he has not spoken up a little, so he asked about armor and strong bows. Guo Mingyan did not hide the origin of the weapons, and also talked about the war with the people of Sinan and the secrets of the Thousand Houses of Datian. He also told Zhang Zhao that among the more than 300 guards, in addition to the Han people, there were also the barbarians of Baiya Cave, and some of them were Datian military households. Zhang Zhao had to accept this and fully realized the importance of the Yangtze River waterway to Lin Chunhong. It can be said that if one day the waterway is cut off, Lin Chunhong would lose money. For this reason, Zhang Zhao and others were not worried about their status in the Lin group after they defected.

Zhang Zhao and others did not hesitate. They stayed in Qingjiang for a few days before going to Bailizhou to express their desire to defect. Lin Chunhong was overjoyed and immediately ordered Zheng Tiancheng to hand over the transfer to Zhang Zhao and Li Mengshen, and threw Zhao Hehai and other strong water bandits into Zhou Wang's guards and practice land battles first. The other water bandits were either dismissed or sent to take on boat workers. After all, after Zhang Zhao was solved, there were no water bandits on the Yangtze River to interfere. As for the navy, according to Lin Chunhong, there were no ships now. After building a new ship, the water bandits' previous ships were even small in fishing, let alone combat ships.

According to Lin Chunhong's arrangement, Zheng Tiancheng handed over the warehouse to Lu Shiyuan to manage, and together with Li Chongde, he was responsible for financial matters. The two were also responsible for some copywriting and rules-making tasks. Simply put, it was Lin Chunhong's think tank. Zheng Tiancheng was very satisfied with this arrangement. He was short of miscellaneous items, and settlement of accounts was something he loved, so he was very motivated.

Bailizhou covers an area of ​​more than 200,000 mu, most of which are beaches. They are flooded in summer and exposed in winter. In winter, more than 20 people, including Lin Chunhong and others, rode their horses on the beach, and the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the smoke and dust stirred up instantly was blown away by the northwest wind. It was precisely "the cold wind was so proud that the horse's hooves were so fast that they could see all Bailizhou in one day". There were several people here who could not ride horses, such as Zheng Tiancheng and Li Chongde, who could not help but

The soft and hard bubbles in Lin Chunhong were all driven to the shelves. Under the teachings of Zhou Wang and others, although they were not proficient in equestrianism, they would not fall down. Horses were a good-bred Hetao horse. Zhou Wang finally got more than 30 horses through various means, stocked them on Bailizhou, and hired a special groom from the northwest to specialize in feeding and breeding these Hetao horses. A large number of ordinary horses were collected from various places for the guards to ride and practice equestrians.

The group slowed down and walked forward. Looking at the vast Yangtze River and the open beach, Lin Chunhong couldn't help but say loudly to Zhang Zhao beside him: "There are 50,000 acres of arable land in Bailizhou. As long as you build all the river embankments to block the summer flood, it is estimated that the arable land will be 150,000 acres. Haha, this silver is simply worth it!"

When Li Chongde heard that, he calculated silently and shouted: "If you want to build a river embankment, it will take at least a hundred miles long, and ten thousand migrant workers will have to work for at least two years. Besides, the work can only start in winter and cannot be repaired by flooding. Oh my god, how much money does it cost? It will cost at least 300,000 taels!"

The 300,000 taels obviously scared everyone, and they all said that this was impossible.

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "300,000 taels will be more than 100,000 acres of land, and three taels of silver per acre. Do you think it's worth it?"

When everyone heard this, it was indeed a good deal. Zheng Tiancheng shouted: "Where do we have 300,000 taels of silver now?"

"Take it slow, we will." Lin Chunhong was full of passion.

Chu Wenshan used to be a mud-legged person, and was good at the fields. He said: "This account cannot be calculated like this. It is all sandy here. Even if it is not flooded, crops cannot grow. It takes several years to transform it to become a thin field. This money cannot be ignored."

When everyone heard this, they nodded and looked at Lin Chunhong at the same time. Lin Chunhong laughed and said, "Can you plant peanuts? Where is cotton? Alfalfa, as feed for livestock. Tiancheng, please pay attention and find someone who is proficient in water conservancy to estimate how to build a dike and how much it costs. Also, you can find a few old farmers to see what to plant on the sand and how to plant it. Sooner or later, there will be a lot of fertile fields here!"

Everyone was moved by Lin Chunhong's passion and couldn't help but ride a horse. Yes, the things in the plan are always exciting.

Everyone arrived at Bamutan before taking out the dry food, and eating some random food with the water in the skin.

Li Chongde stood at the Yangtze River for a long time, and couldn't help but think: "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. The right and wrong, success and failure turn empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are on the river bank, and they are used to watching the autumn moon and the lip wind. A pot of turbid wine meets each other, and many things in ancient and modern times are all laughing at."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh that the world was impermanent. The people here basically didn't know each other two or three years ago. Now they gathered together and whispered squarely. They really felt like they were in the vast earth, who was the ups and downs.

Lin Chunhong was the one who touched the most, and said, "Yang Shen's song "Linjiangxian" is full of passion and implicitness. It is indeed rare to be proud of. It's a pity that Yang Shen and his son were both famous ministers, but they died in the garrison." After saying that, he couldn't help but hum according to the tune of later generations. When everyone heard it, they covered their ears and frowned and said, "The song I heard is so ugly that it's so ugly!"

Lin Chunhong quickly stopped, and didn't mind, asking, "There are still ships built on the Yangtze River. Zhang Zhao, what are these warships? Which ships are better to build?"

Zhang Zhao said: "If you want to rob, it is better to use sampan warships and are fast, and they don't need many people. If you want to compete in battle, you need to match large and large ships. The centipede ship is the main force. The long dragon ship transmits messages and lures the enemy. The sampan competes in shallow water and can also support the centipede ship."

"What are the enemies used on the ship to attack?"

"A ship is afraid of fire, so it is preferred to use fire attacks. The second one uses firearms and bows and arrows, the second one uses a spear, and the second one uses a sword. The second one uses a sword. The firearms and bows and arrows can be farther than the opponent, of course, the best. In addition, the ship is fast and the turn is flexible, so it will be invincible on the Yangtze River."

"I want to build a ship now. Do you know the excellent Master Damu?"

"Hehe, I know a lot, all of them are in Jiangnan and Huguang. And they are all built sea boats, so I don't know if they are willing to build river boats."

"Oh, piles of wood have been prepared long ago. It's a pity that I can't build a ship there." Lin Chunhong sighed.

"It's a pity for those giant trees to build rivers." The giant trees in Bailizhou had long been seen by Zhang Zhao, and these giant trees were treated according to the standards of sea-building ships, and were seen through by Zhang Zhao at a glance.

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "First solve the problem before you see it, and then talk about the sea boats. Please help me recruit shipbuilders, the more the better. Put up the shipbuilding rack first."

Zhang Zhao bowed and took the order.
