Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2537 Soliciting hearts in the village ([-])
"Uncle Zhang, it's really the second uncle's fault! But right now he's in charge of the case, so I don't want to disobey him." Chen Lin was very polite.

"Oh, it would be great if your father was here!" Lame Zhang sighed, "Your second uncle, hey..." He didn't seem to dare to continue.Chen Lin knew there was something going on, so he deliberately led him to talk.

"Uncle Zhang, I heard that the person who stole the chicken was a fake hair brought by an Australian? Do you know what he looks like? I also know a few chief executives. Help you to file a lawsuit against him!"

Talking about this lame Zhang, he sighed: "He is a fool, I can't tell what he looks like! When I saw him stealing a chicken that day, I only yelled, but he punched me and knocked me down. , claiming to be the former guard of the Emperor Wenzong of the Song Dynasty. I don’t know if he is Australian or not, but he has no hair!”

Now Chen Lin had the bottom line: Chen Qing was right: [-]% of this Kunren is a fake.He dare not say whether Australians have the official position of Imperial Guard.But Australians only have "Wen Zong", and I have never heard of anyone called "Wen Zong Wang".It's okay to fool the country people, but for someone like him who has been to Lingao, it's a fake look.

As for the lack of hair, it is completely in line with Qiu Xiao - his hair is so thin that he can't even tie it into a bun.

"I think this chicken thief may not be an Australian...Australians have bald hair and short hair, but they are not bald..."

"Ah, I'm actually wondering too!" Lame Zhang is not stupid, and there have been rumors outside that the chicken thief is Master Xuan's confidant.Following his words, he said, "Australians are very friendly and rich. Even if they want to eat chicken, they can't afford it..."

"That's it. It's just that you are the one who suffers, Uncle Zhang, and it's common sense to sue and sue. It's true that the second uncle has treated you like this. It can be regarded as our Chen family's fault. This is a little kindness, and you can accept it. Later The days are getting better, so go back to work. Silk Workshop cannot do without you as a teacher—even though you haven’t been working these days, I will take care of the accountant and give you half of your wages.”

"Thank you, Master Jiu!" Lame Zhang was overjoyed. Chen Lin's willingness to speak softly made him feel half better. Hearing that he could get money for recuperation these days, it was a great thing that the sun came out from the west.Regardless of the swelling and pain in the eyes, he quickly got up and saluted.

"Alas, you are inconvenient to move now, don't be so polite." Chen Lin said, "Uncle Zhang, you will have to worry about the Chen family's silk workshop in the future."

"Yes, Xiao Lao understands that with your ninth master here, the Chen family's property will not be destroyed!"

Lame Zhang sent Chen Lin away, and his wife came in and opened the paper bag, but inside was a pack of "Qing Huo Ding Chuan Tang" produced by Chen Liji, a famous pharmacy in Guangzhou.This is actually a kind of medicinal sugar, which uses Chuanbei and other anti-asthma and cough-relieving drugs, which is very suitable for people like Zhang Zizi who have worked in the dyeing workshop for a long time and have respiratory diseases.

"This is a good thing." Mrs. Zhang looked at the sugar bag with some surprise, "I heard from the Wu family lady last time that Dingchuan cough is the most effective. I can't sleep because of coughing at night. Take one and take it slowly. Enough."

Things are good, but the price is not cheap.Lame Zhang has always been fond of gambling, and apart from deducting his gambling debts, his income is only enough to eat.

"Unfortunately it's not wine..."

"Alcohol! Alcohol! Alcohol! You are afraid that you won't be able to breathe!" Sister-in-law Zhang scolded, "The doctor said, you are the most forbidden to drink alcohol when you have asthma! If you drink to death, you will be dragged down! My old lady is less affected. These tortures for you..." Cursing and cursing, my heart became more and more angry, and I started to cry.

Zhang Laizi didn't care, he slowly climbed onto the bamboo couch, thinking, this Master Xuan is really not a thing!At the beginning, I said that we should treat us craftsmen with foreign surnames well, but I didn't expect it to be the same thing in the end!It's still Lord Jiu, a kind-hearted person just like his father!

The delicate relationship between the Chen family's uncle and nephew, in fact, they could all see, originally Chen Xuan vaguely gained the upper hand by relying on the influence of the female Australian, but Chen Lin obviously had a big backer when he came back this time.The uncle and nephew are afraid that there will be a fight over Nansha.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Laizi hoped that Chen Lin would take over the position. After all, Chen Lin and his son treated everyone well and were decent.As for Chen Xuan, he has given foreigners a lot of benefits since he came to power, but this person has always been evil-minded, and now he is trying to win everyone over. If he is given a firm seat, it is hard to say what will happen.The weavers in the silk workshop followed Chen Xuan obsessively. I'm afraid there will be no results in the future...

After a few days, more than a dozen young people gathered in the cemetery, all of which Chen Lin helped him find from various families one after another.In addition to a few of his "best friends", there are also seven or eight young people who are dissatisfied with the current situation in Nansha.

Originally, he wanted his third uncle, who was well-respected in the family, to preside over the meeting, but the third uncle said that he should "learn to deal with the situation".Thinking of this, he could only calm down, and went through what he had thought beforehand in his mind again.

Seeing that it was almost time for people to come, he signaled Chen Qing to go out to watch the wind, and then put down all the window panels, and then said:
"Grandfathers, uncles, brothers and nephews..." Although they are all young people, their generations have spanned several generations.

"Little brother got an opportunity a few days ago to go to Lingao under the rule of the Australians. This trip is really an eye-opener..."

In the countryside of Xiangshan County, everyone lives a dull and boring life, nothing more than farming and working.In recent years, the place has been turbulent, and the village has been ransacked by rebels. Every family has a hard life.The only entertainment and pastimes that were originally there were virtually cancelled.We can only get together to gossip and talk about ancient times as a pastime.

Although the Australians are in their village—they are still very rare "female Australians", but to be honest, everyone still knows very little about the situation of Australians. They can only know a little bit from their daily contacts. There are many speculations and rumors about what the next Lingao looks like.

Chen Lin went to Lingao, and this personal experience was naturally extraordinary. When he mentioned it, everyone became interested.I want him to talk.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Chen Lin first talked in detail about what he had seen and heard during his trip to Lingao: what can carry a thousand people, use the power of water and fire to make an iron ladder cart; spin a thousand feet of cloth in a day But there is only a loom for a female worker; the Dongmen City is brightly lit like the Milky Way at night... There are also a variety of products in the department store, many of which he can't afford, and he has never even seen them.

After boasting about this "Lingao Experience Record", the young people are already fascinated, yearning for it, wishing they could visit Lingao soon.

Then, Chen Lin started bragging about Lingao's income again.This is not bragging. The living standards of the Senate workers were so high that they were unrivaled in China in the 17th century.There is no shortage of rice grains in Guangdong, every meal is rice, and there are fish and shrimps every day. This is not too shocking to these Chen family children, but it is lethal to be able to eat meat for more than ten days .

"...Ninth Uncle! You are bragging! There will be meat in six or seven days! It's fine for every family, if tens of thousands of artisans want to eat meat, how many pigs and sheep will have to be killed!"

"Are you bragging? There are quite a few Australian workers in our village. Just ask them if you have a chance. Do they have meat every six or seven days?" Chen Lin laughed.

"It's true... my dad helps them buy in the silk workshop, and these people buy half a pig every ten days for a sacrifice!" Someone said, "Every time I go back to the silk workshop, I can get some benefits!"

"Look, I'm not bragging." Chen Lin saw that someone was making fun of him, and his interest became stronger. Seeing that everyone was interested, he changed the subject and continued:

"Everyone, although we youngsters have different generations, we are always 'young' at home. We have to look at the face of our parents to do anything. If the parents don't allow us, we can't do it. We have to wait until the beard grows, and then we can say a few words. Someone listened. But do you know what I saw when I went back to the Australians?" Chen Linxu began to play tricks.

"What did you see?"

"I got it! Australians don't grow beards!"

"Could it be that young people are in power?"

……

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lin described the scene when he met Chen Xiaobing to the young people present, and said impassionedly: "He is about the same age as us, and he can be an Australian official, and he manages many big people. The shopkeeper followed the plan of the Australians."

These words were scratching the itch of this group of young people, and for a while the room was full of chatter.Australians are mostly young people, they have discovered this a long time ago.Not to mention that Chief Li is a young woman, most of the fake hair she brought, including those who recently returned to the village with Uncle Chen Xuan, were young people.Especially the four young men and women who came here this time, except for the men who were slightly older, the three girls were all under [-] girls.

"... This time I came with a few girls, all of whom are under [-], but they are all skilled craftsmen from Australia, who can build factories and operate machines. Tell me, they are human beings, and we are also human beings. Could it be that we Can’t it?” Chen Lin said impassionedly, “Nowadays, when the situation of integrity is changing and the dynasty is changing, I wait for a young man to make a great achievement and impress the villagers!”

"Of course you can do it, but you just don't know how to do it!" Someone echoed.

"Uncle Lin is right! We can do what the Australians can do!" Just like the communication in advance, one of his buddies immediately responded at this time, heating up the atmosphere again.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of applause from the side, "Brother Lin, I'll listen to you what to do!" One of them said, and everyone followed suit.

"Everyone also knows that the second uncle is in charge of the silk workshop now, and he manages and improves the silk industry, and the younger brother also assists Mr. Li Yuan. However, the improvement of the silk industry did not happen overnight. Nowadays, many children in the clan have no career to do. It happened that I went to Lingao this time, and I heard that Australians intend to open a cotton mill in Guangdong, and the location was chosen in Xiangshan County..."
