wealthy lord

Chapter 669: Play hard to get, give some advice

Lin Yun pointed at him with a smile and said: "Haha, this is not the temper of your Marquis Wu Ying. Why is the sun rising in the west today?"

Lin Fulin smiled awkwardly, sitting on the edge of the chair with his buttocks, his waist as straight as a stick, and his hands on his knees.

"That's right. The last day I saw Master Zhongtang showing off his power, I was really envious! So...for the sake of the Lin family...can you also allocate some bamboo guns and ammunition to us?"

As he said that, he immediately lowered his head and said with a sincere face: "The last general can represent the Lin family army of 200,000 people and pledge allegiance to Lord Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was indifferent. What he wanted was not such high-sounding words, but real loyalty, just like Zheng Li and Asan.

"Okay! I understand what General Fuling wants! However, this matter is a bit tricky!"

Lin Yun sucked his back teeth and shook his head helplessly.

Lin Fuling frowned and said: "Please make it clear, Master Zhongtang! If there are any difficulties, the general will be willing to come forward to solve them! In addition, if the Lin family army can all be equipped with bamboo guns, their combat effectiveness will directly surpass all the vassal kings and become the Daduan God." Toward the First Army!”

Lin Yun nodded with a smile: "Of course I have full confidence in General Fuling, but have you ever considered the practical issues?"

"First of all, if I really equip the Lin family's army with bamboo guns, will the imperial court agree? With such a powerful force but not obeying the imperial court's orders, the emperor will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

"Secondly, not to mention 200,000 bamboo guns, even if it is 100,000...50,000, can the Lin family afford this military salary?"

Lin Fuling was dumbfounded.

Of course he knew, but the Lin family's finances were definitely not enough to purchase too many bamboo guns.

But he didn't expect that Lin Yun would be so clear with him.

After all, Lin Yun is also a member of the Lin family, and is the actual controller of the Lin family.

Shouldn't you spend some money on your own home?

"Lin...Lin Zhongtang, the last general has said that he is willing to lead the Lin family's 200,000 troops to be loyal to Lord Zhongtang! In the future, I only need you to issue orders, and the last general will definitely respond as soon as possible!"

Lin Yun stood up and walked around the desk, patted his shoulder meaningfully, and asked, "How old is General Fuling this year?"

He was just asking knowingly, as he had already seen all Lin Fuling's information in the Lin Family Army roster.

Lin Fuling immediately stood up, cupped his fists and said, "The general is twenty-three years old this year!"

"Oh! General Fuling's ability is unparalleled in the Lin family's army. If he can become a general, he must be a good leader of troops. This is what I value most! But..."

Lin Fuling frowned secretly and said anxiously: "Master Zhongtang, the general is a rough man. I don't understand what you mean. Please clarify!"

Lin Yun smiled helplessly: "This matter cannot be rushed! I will consider equipping the Lin family army with bamboo guns! It's nothing, General Fuling, please come back!"

As he said this, he took out two hundred thousand taels of silver notes from his sleeve and gave it to him.

Lin Fuling was confused. He looked at the banknote in his hand and had no idea what medicine Lin Yun was selling in his gourd.

But he also understood that facing Lin Zhongtang, he could not offend him and could only leave with fists in his hands.

Lin Yun clasped his hands behind his back and smiled as he watched him leave.

At this time, Zheng Li, who was waiting outside the door, walked in and said, "Fourteenth Master, Lin Fuling just said something, why didn't you agree?"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Do you think he is sincerely loyal to me?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not! He was just frightened by the fighting power of Niubei Village's private army that day! That's why he came to surrender. Strictly speaking, he just took a fancy to the weapons in our hands, not this young master!"

Zheng Li suddenly realized this and secretly sighed that Lin Fuling was difficult to control. Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Go, you go chase Lin Fuling now and give him some guidance! Remember, don't let him see that we deliberately lured him! Let him realize the key to the problem himself!"

He doesn't have much time to spend in Fengyang County. The landmines on the border have been laid and he will leave for Beijing in the next few days.

Therefore, Lin Fuling must be subdued as quickly as possible.

Only with his sincerity could Lin Yun dare to equip the Lin family with guns, which was a fatal matter.

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Zheng Li quickly chased after him.

On the other side, Lin Fuling walked out of the city lord's mansion with a depressed look on his face, looked down at the two hundred thousand taels of silver notes in his hand, and murmured: "Lin Zhongtang, what on earth do you mean? Are you still unwilling to this day?" Do you accept the Lin family? "

In his opinion, didn't Lin Yun trip up Lin Xuan because he wanted to completely control the overall situation of the Lin family?
He had just been given a step, why didn't Lin Yun accept the move?

"General Fuling, please stay..."

Lin Fuling turned around and saw Zheng Li approaching. He frowned and said, "Mr. Zheng, do you have anything to do with me, General?"

The two of them had a very unpleasant fight last time.

Although he was resolved by Lin Yun, he still looked down on Zheng Lili in his heart.

I feel that Zheng Lili is just a slave who is good at showing off his cleverness and is good at flattery, and has no real skills.

Zheng Li said with a smile: "Don't General Fuling want to get the bamboo gun in the hands of the Fourteenth Master? If so, then just don't tell me!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Lin Fulin suddenly became anxious and quickly said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, don't be angry! This general has a bad temper, so he was a little rude just now..."

He really didn't want to apologize to someone who was inferior to him, so he had to squeeze out these kind words through gritted teeth.

Zheng Li said: "That's pretty much it!"

"Mr. Zheng, please give me some advice! What did Lin Zhongtang mean by what he just said?"

Zheng Li sighed: "You don't understand this? Who is the Fourteenth Master? How could he easily believe General Fuling's guarantee?"

Lin Fuling said solemnly: "I have already said that I am willing to be loyal to Master Zhongtang on behalf of the Lin family's 200,000 troops. Isn't that not sincere enough?"

"Hey, even if General Fuling is a rough guy, he should understand such a simple truth, right? There are so many people who go back on their word these days! I can't let the Fourteenth Master give me real benefits just because of your words, right?"

Lin Fulin finally understood and quickly put his arm around Zheng Li's shoulders and said with a smile: "Then what Mr. Zheng means..."

Zheng Li deliberately raised his head to look at the sky, but rubbed his right hand a few times in front of his eyes.

How could Lin Fuling not understand? He secretly cursed that Zheng Lili was indeed a villain, but when he thought about the terrifying lethality of the bamboo gun, he could only grit his back teeth and take away the two hundred thousand taels that Lin Yun had just rewarded. The banknote was stuffed into Zheng Li's arms.

"Is this enough?"

Zheng Li lowered his head and glanced, then he was satisfied.

"Not bad! It seems that General Fuling has really grown up this time!"

"Hmph, you, the slave next to Lin Zhongtang, are so greedy! This is really an eye-opener for this general! Okay, you also accepted the money, can you talk now?"
