Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Chapter 19 A toast to you

For convenience, Jingjiang Dihe Inn borrowed a lantern, but he didn't notice it until he walked to the street.

The streets in Yangqu County are brightly lit at night, and there are even many businesses open for business.

Selling and buying are not bad!

This is completely unheard of in the capital.

Because robbery and theft always occur at night, the capital has been under a curfew in recent years. It has been almost ten years.

Therefore, the night market scene was particularly strange to Emperor Jingjiang.

Only when you have enough trust in your own public security environment can you dare to set up a night market.

But judging from the current scale, the night market in Yangqu County has probably been in place for some time.

Emperor Jingjiang really wanted to find a vendor and ask him carefully, but because he had something serious in mind, he suppressed his curiosity and walked quickly towards the county government office.

When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, the two officials were already familiar with Emperor Jingjiang's face. When they saw him coming, they raised their hands and said, "Mr. Zheng, what are you doing here at night?"

"Yes, I have something important that I need to discuss with Mr. Lin. Please let me know." Emperor Jingjiang cupped his hands and said.

"Okay, wait a minute, we'll go right away." After saying that, one person stood guard at the door, and the other person got ready to go to the Yamen to report.

"No need, Mr. Lin has already given the order. Mr. Zheng, just come in." At this moment, a maid slowly walked out of the door and said to the official.

Then, he turned to Emperor Jingjiang and said, "Mr. Zheng, please come with me."

"it is good."

At this time, it was already dark inside the yamen, with men in front and women behind, walking slowly and gradually deeper.

"What do you call me girl?"

"I was just recruited by Mr. Lin to replace sister Situ Tianling. Because my family was poor when I was young, I never had a name. Mr. Lin named me Lin Taohua. Mr. Zheng can call me Xiaotao or Xiaohua."

"Okay, Miss Tao," Emperor Jingjiang smiled slightly, and then asked, "Is Mr. Lin resting now?"

"No!" Lin Taohua said with a smile: "Master Lin cherishes his life very much. He usually goes to bed early and gets up early, and he is already sleeping soundly at this point. But today, he must have something on his mind. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He is in the yard now. Drinking!"

"Oh, really?" Emperor Jingjiang had a true expression on his face.

"Let me guess, Mr. Lin can't sleep because of your business, Mr. Zheng." Lin Taohua smiled sweetly and said: "I don't know why Mr. came to our family. This is the first time I have seen him. Mr. Lin couldn't sleep and was drinking alone."

"Alas, it's because of flooding in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and drought in the lower reaches. I wonder if Master Lin has a solution!"

"Flood? Drought? How could they happen at the same time?" Lin Taohua frowned slightly, but she soon relaxed: "Mr. Zheng, don't be anxious, any difficult problems in the world will be solved by Mr. Lin." . What's more, Master Lin has ordered the maid to come to greet him, so he is probably ready, but he still has some concerns!"

"Is it true?" Emperor Jingjiang was a little skeptical. After all, there was almost no difference between Lin Taohua's words and the compliments he received from court officials.

The only difference might be that Lin Taohua spoke more naturally.

"Mr. Zheng, don't worry. Before you came, Mr. Lin had already prepared two glasses of wine on the table. The other one was probably prepared for you, Mr. Zheng."

"Um?!!!"

Emperor Jingjiang's eyes suddenly widened.

It seems that I guessed it right!

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaofeng not only had a way to solve the disaster.

He actually has the ability to predict things like a god, and he knew that he was coming tonight.

Talent!

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in the backyard.

Lin Taohua walked in first, and then arranged for Emperor Jingjiang to move forward.

Seeing the figure of Emperor Jingjiang, Lin Xiaofeng raised the wine glass in his hand and said to each other from a distance: "Old Zheng, it's so elegant to come to see you so late at night. Come on, come on, sit down and have a drink!"

"No!" Emperor Jingjiang walked straight over, sat down and said straight to the point: "Master Lin must have guessed Zheng's intention, so I will tell you directly. Regarding the disaster in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, has Master Lin solved anything? How to solve it? This is a great achievement. If you solve it, you can definitely be promoted to a higher position!"

"Oh?! Old Zheng, you are still interested in being an official?" Lin Xiaofeng chuckled and said: "Being an official is not good at all. Look at my place in Yangqu County. There are so many things to worry about every day. Why not start a small business and become a rich man?"

Hearing what Lin Xiaofeng said, Emperor Jingjiang clenched his fists in his sleeves, and veins popped out.

This evil beast! You just want to make money, not get promoted, right? If you are like this, who will be loyal to the court? ! ! !

"Master Lin, be careful what you say!" Emperor Jingjiang said angrily: "Zheng is also a citizen of our Jingjiang Kingdom. No matter who he is, he should work for the country and share the worries of the king. Don't you, Master Lin, be unwilling to do this? !!!"

"Hahaha, that's right!" Lin Xiaofeng laughed loudly, "What I think about day and night is to work for the country. You and I can be considered sympathetic to each other!"

At this point, Lin Xiaofeng changed the topic and said solemnly: "Since you have this intention, Old Zheng, then I will give you a fortune!"

"I do have something here, called the Land Thunder God, that can solve the current dilemma. Although I am only 80% sure, it is enough to give it a try!"

"Seriously?!" Emperor Jingjiang stood up happily, "What is this land thunder god?"

"You don't need to worry about it. You won't be able to use it if I give it to you." Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand and added: "I can send twenty people to Tudor Mountain for disaster relief. Whether they can succeed or not depends on fate."

"Yangqu County is inland and there are only horse-drawn carriages. However, it is too slow to go there by horse and cart, and the Land Thunder God is also cumbersome, so I need you to arrange it. Take a boat south from the port near the capital, and then be escorted directly to Tudor Mountain by horse-drawn carriage. nearby."

"It's up to you to arrange the ships, carriages and escorts. I made a careful calculation and found that it will take about seven days. This is the shortest time."

"Okay!" Emperor Jingjiang's confidence was greatly shaken. Lin Xiaofeng said this with complete confidence!

Especially the title of land thunder god, what is the difference between it and sky thunder?

"But..." Lin Xiaofeng suddenly rubbed his hands and said cowardly: "Twenty people from Yangqu County went to the disaster area to provide relief, but risking their lives, we can't go in vain... ········”

"Ten thousand taels of silver!" Emperor Jingjiang didn't understand what Lin Xiaofeng meant, so he patted the table domineeringly.

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head, "Not enough! I want fifty thousand taels!"

"Uh..." Emperor Jingjiang blushed a little, "It's not that Zheng is unwilling, it's mainly because he doesn't have so much money. I only brought 20,000 taels of silver notes with me when I came out, which was used to purchase goods. It’s true that we are short of money!”

"It doesn't matter! Just get a loan!" A treacherous expression suddenly appeared on Lin Xiaofeng's face: "My favorite in Yangqu County...ahem, the best thing is the loan business, just pay the interest. !”

"Okay!" Emperor Jingjiang agreed without any hesitation.

Lin Xiaofeng added kindly and said: "Old Zheng, you have to think about it. This matter can be said to be a gamble. If these twenty people work hard, but the disaster is still not solved in the end, the principal of 50,000 taels will be lost." Interest will be added, but it will be charged!"    "No problem."

In Emperor Jingjiang's view, the disaster that originally cost 200,000 taels could be solved with 50,000 taels, which can be said to be a complete surprise.

What's more, 200,000 taels is also the first batch of applications from the Yangtze River Governor. I'm afraid he will continue to ask for money to deal with the aftermath.

In this case, it is better to use these fifty thousand taels of silver to give it a try.

Compared with the disaster relief methods of those veterans, Lin Xiaofeng's [Land Thunder God] is more reliable.

Feeling that Emperor Jingjiang was treating his pedestrian, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but chuckle: "Old Zheng, these 50,000 taels of silver are definitely worth the money. You will know in the future that I am giving away half of this. I also hope that You can really prosper like this. As for me, all I have to do is continue to do good business!"

"By the way, you have to remember one thing. After a major disaster, there must be a major epidemic. Regardless of floods or droughts, the bodies of all people and animals must be burned on the spot, and the people must be relocated in time, especially those infected with wind and cold. They need to be isolated individually, as the epidemic can be spread through the mouth, nose and air."

"You may not understand these, and I don't have time to explain too much to you. You just need to follow the process I told you. This is all the experience we have accumulated in Yangqu County over the years."

"besides········"

Lin Xiaofeng ordered Emperor Jingjiang one by one.

In order to prevent the other party from forgetting, he even found a pen and paper, wrote down everything that needed attention, and wrote it to Emperor Jingjiang.

Seeing Lin Xiaofeng's dedication, Emperor Jingjiang's expression gradually became as happy as that of an old father.

In his opinion, Lin Xiaofeng talked so eloquently that he had obviously taken the matter to heart, which was why he could arrange it in such detail.

Perhaps, even if he didn't make this trip, Lin Xiaofeng would still find a way to provide disaster relief!

Such feelings of patriotism and love for the people are rare even in the court!

"Old Zheng, although I have written everything down, you must remember clearly that this is a major matter involving people's lives!"

"Okay, Zheng must keep it in mind!" Emperor Jingjiang nodded solemnly and added: "It seems that Mr. Lin has already been preparing disaster relief measures. I, Zheng, am here to represent the people in the disaster area. Thank you very much Lin." You’re an adult! This glass is for you!”

After saying that, Emperor Jingjiang picked up the wine glass placed in front of him on the table and drank it all in one gulp!

‘Hmm...Why does this wine taste wrong? ’

Emperor Jingjiang smacked his mouth. He knew the taste of peach blossom wine very well. Why did this cup have no taste? Could it be water?

"Old Zheng, you are so excited, why are you drinking my mouthwash?"

"..."

After a conversation, Emperor Jingjiang walked outside the county government office with satisfaction, carrying the "Disaster Relief Manual" written by Lin Xiaofeng.

Aside from the mouthwash, tonight was full of accomplishments!

When going out, Emperor Jingjiang also saw Lin Taohua who brought him in, and said hello happily.

Lin Taohua also nodded politely and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, is the matter resolved?"

"Yes! Mr. Lin is really a genius!" Emperor Jingjiang said with a laugh.

"I knew it." Lin Taohua looked proud and looked up at the full moon in the sky. "After all, Mr. Lin really loves his people like his own children!"

"Oh? How do you say this?" Emperor Jingjiang smelled a story.

Lin Taohua breathed a long sigh of relief, seeming to be lost in memories, and said leisurely: "Mr. Zheng, you just came to Yangqu County not long ago, you may feel that Yangqu County is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"But you would never think that just a few years ago, Yangqu County was a place where people often starved to death."

"At that time, I had not yet entered the county government office. I was in the shanty town in the south of the city. At that time, I could see Mr. Lin every day when I opened my eyes. He led the officers and soldiers to rescue the victims in every possible way, even at the risk of dying in person. Experimenting with which rice grains ripen more easily and which herbs are easier to treat.”

"I clearly remember that when my neighbor lay dying in bed due to hunger and disease, Mr. Lin's face was full of tears, and he even turned his back and gave himself a few hard slaps!"

"Because in his heart, the fact that the people cannot live and work in peace and contentment is all the responsibility of him, the parent-official!"

As she spoke, tears fell from the corners of Lin Taohua's eyes. She wiped them gently and said, "Mr. Lin is the real parent official. It is precisely because of this that Yangqu County has the prosperous scene it has today!"

"So, Mr. Lin is a first-class benevolent person. If there is a disaster elsewhere, he will definitely take action to save him. If there is no other way, he will try his best!"

After listening to this past event in Yangqu County, Emperor Jingjiang fell into silence.

Originally, he thought that the poverty in Yangqu County back then was just like the current prosperity that Lin Xiaofeng found a way to falsely report.

Unexpectedly, the poverty situation a few years ago turned out to be real.

The scene described by Lin Taohua in a few words was far worse than Emperor Jingjiang imagined.

Even calling it hell on earth is not an exaggeration.

Unexpectedly, in the past few years, Yangqu County has become a fairyland on earth.

Yesterday, I even saw that Zhou Zhiwei, who was demoted by me, is now happier in Yangqu County than when he was an inspector.

I never expected that Lin Xiaofeng looked carefree on the surface, but was such a caring person secretly.

"Master Lin has both talent and virtue, and he will definitely be promoted to a higher position in the future!" Emperor Jingjiang said solemnly.

"No," Lin Taohua shook her head: "Master Lin doesn't like to be promoted to a higher position, and he doesn't like to leave Yangqu County. The people of Yangqu County don't want Master Lin to leave either. It's good like this now, really."

"Ah~~"

Emperor Jingjiang sighed.

Where can there be a perfect Dharma in the world? I can't live up to the Tathagata and I can't live up to you.

Just because Lin Xiaofeng had both moral integrity and talent, he had to leave Yangqu County and go to a broader place.

After all, there are too many suffering people in the world!
