Chapter 131 In That Rain

The seventh day of July in the 23rd year of Zhaohua.

Qi Qiao Festival!
This should have been the time when the girls who have not left the cabinet gathered under the moon to thread needles against the moon, or when the women set up tributes and prayed to the sky, expressed their wishes, and begged for children and love.

But on this evening, a heavy rain fell in Guangling City.

The rain disappointed those long-awaited boudoirs and those unmarried men who were also looking forward to it.

The girls who are ready to show some needlework in front of those unmarried men can only look at the rain outside the window, and can only think melancholy in their hearts about a certain young man they once had a crush on.

Those men had already prepared poems, and originally wanted to get a purse embroidered by a certain girl, but this guy also fell through.

But this rain made Yang Sixian and Li Chenan feel that it was just in time.

The two of them set off for Linfengdu in this rain, and Wu Xichen was still driving the car.

"Have you ever been to that place?"

In the carriage, Yang Sixian asked Li Chenan this question.

Li Chen'an shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You don't believe me, Mr. Yang, I haven't visited Guangling City until now, let alone Linfengdu."

Yang Sixian glanced at Li Chenan, and confirmed that the collected information about Li Chenan was true.

It's just that he is also a little confused.

Because judging from getting along with Li Chen'an in the past few days, this kid is a fine person, and he is extremely skilled in dealing with the world. He doesn't look like the fool in the rumors!

This kid has changed too much. Could it be that his past is really just a faux pas?
If this is the case, it can show that this kid has great endurance, and the city is much more than ordinary teenagers.

But this is also a good thing.

Ichthyosaurs would need someone like that.

Prime Minister Ji also liked such people more.

"The place of Linfengdu, the old man has been there three times including this time."

"Although it is a place full of fish and dragons, it is undeniable that it is a good place!"

"Chaos, this is actually a good thing. Many people are afraid of chaos, so they will avoid it. But in my opinion, there are many things that can be gained from chaos."

"Such as money, such as power, and such as establishing a new order in the chaos, etc."

"Your predecessor was also Song Yuanping. Before he died, the headquarters gave him a task to gather the forces in Linfengdu, so as to control the water transportation from Guangling."

"Water transportation is very important!"

"From Linfengdu to the north, you can reach Yujing City, Kyoto through the Yuguangda Canal."

"To the south, you can reach Linshui City at the mouth of the Yangtze River."

"From Linshui City to the west, you can enter Shuzhou, and to the east... there are many counties along the way until you reach the East China Sea."

Yang Sixian shut up at this point, but Li Chenan understood what he meant.

"Old Yang, this kid will handle it properly!"

Yang Sixian grinned, "But the Ichthyosaur Society can't give you much money!"

"The boy will think of a way to deal with things like silver... It's just that this matter has to wait until the boy returns from Kyoto."

Yang Sixian nodded, "If you really managed to accomplish this, I will definitely ask for credit for you at the headquarters!"

"Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your cultivation!"

In the carriage, listening to the crackling rain hitting the roof of the carriage, the old and the young talked happily.

But at the moment, in the backyard of Guangling government office, Cai Yutang was full of sadness.

"It's a long way to go to Shuzhou. I heard that the people in Shuzhou are tough and lack education... My lord, the task of going here is heavy!"

Liu Zhuo smiled slightly, opened an altar of Huapingchun's mud seal, poured two glasses, and handed one to Cai Yutang.

"This issue cannot be viewed unilaterally."

"There is chaos in Shuzhou, and there are advantages to chaos. Only chaos can lead to governance, and governance can lead to political achievements. I think it is much better than staying in Guangling City as a wimp."

"It's you... Huo Chuanming took office. I don't know if he can tolerate you. After all, everyone in this yamen knows that you are mine."

Cai Yutang picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then said cautiously: "So your lord should bring the officials with you!"

"But you are different from me. Your family members are in Guangling City. As for me... my wife died early, and my son died when I was young. I have nothing to worry about when I go alone."

"The next official can take his wife and children with him!"

Liu Zhuo looked at Cai Yutang, "The place in Shuzhou is really not as prosperous as Guangling!"

"The lower officials don't care about the prosperity here."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it!"

"Then you go back and pack up, tomorrow morning, we will go to Linfengdu together!"

Cai Yutang was overjoyed and cupped his fists in a salute: "Thank you sir!"

"Don't thank me, I'm not sure... I will give you a big surprise when I go out!"

Cai Yutang was stunned, but Liu Zhuo didn't explain.

……

……

This rain is getting bigger and bigger.

It was already late when Li Chenan and Yang Sixian arrived at Linfengdu.

This is actually a town.

This town has become very prosperous because of the pier here, but that kind of prosperity is on days when there is no wind and rain, and there are few pedestrians on the streets and alleys of this town today.

But the teahouses and restaurants in the streets and alleys are still open, and the wind lanterns in front of the doors are still on.

Those teahouses are quiet at this time, but the business of those wine shops is very good.

"Although there are very few boats going from Linfengdu to Yujing City because of the water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake, there are still many boats going down."

The carriage was still driving forward in the rain on the bluestone road in the street. Yang Sixian lifted the curtain to look out, and said:
"The people in those restaurants are mostly boatmen or porters on the pier."

"They are actually members of certain gangs, such as the two most famous gangs in Linfengdu... one is called the Four Seas Gang, and the other is called Huanxitang."

"The entrance of the Four Seas Gang is in the alley of Xiaodong Street, and the entrance of Huanxitang is in the alley of Xiaobei Street."

"The Four Seas Gang has the most ships, 76 large and small."

"Huanxitang has the most porters, and the loading and unloading of goods at the terminal is basically controlled by Huanxitang."

"The two are now gradually evenly matched, so there is now this seemingly peaceful peace."

Yang Sixian put down the curtain of the car, looked at Li Chenan, "There are a few masters in these two gangs, if you want to gather these forces... you have to recruit more useful talents!"

Li Chen'an nodded, with a stern look in his eyes, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, these people under these gangs are just looking for a bite to eat. I think it's not too much for them to be their master." important."

"The kid will come here to have a look some other day, and I will give you a satisfactory result then."

Yang Sixian smiled slightly, Li Chen'an didn't mean death, but his attitude showed his determination.

This is good.

The carriage stopped outside an inn.

Li Chenan got out of the carriage and came to Yang Sixian's side holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Opening the door, he helped Yang Sixian out of the carriage, and the two walked into the inn holding an umbrella.

They did not find a woman wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat on the roof opposite the inn.

She is Murong He.

She was watching the backs of the two disappear into the inn.

She frowned slightly, and after a while, she suddenly drew her sword, and stabbed behind her with her backhand.

A hand stretched out from the darkness, just in time to pinch the tip of her sword.

"Shh...!"

"If you're not going to accompany Su Muxin, what are you doing here?"
