Zhang Jian asked suspiciously: "Japanese? Which Japanese? Could it be a good man from Manda?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Not many people know that Manshan is a Japanese spy, so it's better not to publicize this matter everywhere." So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I'm just guessing."

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Lin Yuan walked back with Shen Wanqing. On the way, Lin Yuan asked, "When I first asked you, did you plan to use the boiling water from the silk reeling factory to deal with those hooligans?" gone?"

Shen Wanqing nodded proudly and said with a smile, "Of course."

Lin Yuan asked, "You don't even know the difference between silk reeling and cotton spinning, yet you know that there is boiling water in the silk reeling factory!"

Shen Wanqing rolled his eyes at him, and said: "What's so strange, I've heard of silk reeling, isn't it possible?" She suddenly asked: "Didn't you say that Weng Tonghe is dissatisfied with you? He will try it this year. The chief examiner, do you think he will play tricks on your test paper and deliberately not let you pass."

Lin Yuan said: "I don't think it's possible. Our examination papers are all transcribed by a special person. It's impossible for the examiner to know which paper is mine. Besides, Weng Tonghe is also a righteous literati, and he wouldn't be in these places. Make me trip up."

Shen Wanqing asked again: "I heard that there will be a palace examination after the examination. The emperor personally set the examination questions. I don't know what he will produce? What if there is another eight-legged essay?"

Lin Yuan was at a loss for words for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this question, so he laughed and said, "The palace examination is mostly about state affairs, and there will be no stereotyped essays."

Only then did Shen Wanqing feel relieved, and the two separated when they arrived at the newspaper office. Lin Yuan returned home, waiting for the announcement of the list, while preparing for the textile industry, he thought to himself: "There are no experts in this field on the Beijing ship. How about looking for talent?"

After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that if he wanted to find talents, he didn't have to be those experts and professors. There were many soldiers on the Beijing ship. In the industry, you can call them in as technical consultants. "

At this moment, Liu San ran in in a panic and said, "Master Lin, it's amazing. There is a group of people at the door, holding things, and they are about to break in."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I can be regarded as a member of the imperial court no matter what I say now, yet someone dares to break into my house directly."

When he came to the door, he saw that standing outside was Yutai, the leader of the Shenji Battalion he had dealt with before. Lin Yuan knew that he liked crickets, so he gave him a holographic cricket fighting picture, and used it to learn from God. The aircraft battalion obtained [-] rifles and established the first brigade.

When Yutai saw Lin Yuan coming out, before Lin Yuan could say hello, he said coldly, "Master Lin, you have to return the gun you borrowed from me. Recently, the higher-ups intend to investigate the Shenji Camp. If you don't Return the gun and my head will move."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Isn't it a pity to just return these guns like this? Yes, let's make some articles on these guns!"

So Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to send the gun back to you, but it's a long journey, I hope the Lord will give you a few days no matter what."

Lin Yuan talked about it, and asked the housekeeper to stuff a lot of money, and Yushan took the man away. Looking at his back, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered what Li Jingfang said about the business management. He thought to himself: "Liu San is right. This is very clear in the officialdom, why not ask him."

So Lin Yuan called Liu San into the room, and asked: "There is a Sun Yuwen in the capital, do you know?"

Liu San smiled and said: "You mean the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the crown prince Shaobao Sun adults, why don't you know, he has been very busy recently."

Lin Yuan asked, "Are you busy? What is he busy with?"

Liu San smiled and said: "Your Excellency, I don't know. Li Zhongtang is old, and he also serves as Governor of Zhili and Minister of Beiyang Commerce. Come out, this Sun Yuwen is determined to take the position of Governor of Zhili..."

Liu San was talking, when a young man came in to report: "My lord, Lord Dragon on the pier is asking to see you!"

As soon as the housekeeper Liu San heard this, he stretched out his hand and gave the boy a big ear, and cursed: "You don't open your eyes, you still call that dog Long Ye in front of adults!"

The boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was stupefied by a slap in the face. Besides, he didn't know Long Ye's real name. He was so shocked and scared that tears almost fell down. Lin Yuan comforted him and told him to go down. Oh, Lin Yuan didn't care about Master Long's real name before, so he only asked Liu San at this time.

Liu San said: "This Master Long was originally called Long Wu, he was just a little gangster, he robbed the land and occupied the dock with his ruthless hands, he was just a big gangster, he made enough money in that kind of business, now he has changed, Became a wealthy gentry! Others still have to call him Master Sheng, what the hell!"

Lin Yuan asked: "What kind of business is that? Is it a profit for selling smuggled goods?"

Liu San said: "It's a bit profitable to give people a share of private goods, but this Dragon Five can really make a fortune by selling two things."

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What?"

Liu San said: "There are thousands of things between the buyer and the seller, but there are two things that must be bought, one is a woman, and the other is opium. Long Wu has opened more than a dozen brothels. It is also difficult to open a brothel. It's no big deal, it's just that there are dead contracts and live contracts in this brothel, and live contracts are sold by women voluntarily. The boss provides a place, and the money earned is shared with the boss. They are all death contracts, women are sold to a brothel, born as a brothel owner, and dead as a brothel ghost!"

"This woman with a death contract is the worst. All the money she earns must go to the boss, and she can't keep a single copper. This Long Wu took advantage of the pier to drive a boat to the coastal provinces to find the poorest family, a big The girl takes a tael of silver, pulls it back and stuffs it in a brothel, and earns him a lifetime of silver."

"Women are not so powerful. Long Wu's wharf does not know how much opium will be shipped in a day. As long as there is a little bit of opium, people will never be able to live without it. Even if they lose their fortunes, they will buy it and smoke it. Do you think this Dragon Five should hit five thunders every day!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Just let him in, I want to see what tricks he has."

After a while, I saw the dragon master leading a big man in. What was strange was that the strong man was actually holding a big box covered with a piece of red silk. According to the usual practice, he was like Lin Yuan Senior officials, if someone gives something, except for the extremely confidential things, the rest will be handed over to the servants, and the guest will just bring a gift list in.

Fortunately, there was Liu San, who made the procedure of welcome and delivery clear, so Lin Yuan and Master Long sat down as guests and hosts, and a maid served tea. When the tea bowl was put on, Lin Yuan asked, "Dragon Is there anything you can do with me?"

Who would have thought that Master Long lifted his robe sleeves, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Your lord calls you a little one, but the little one can't bear it."

Originally, this Master Long was very arrogant when he saw Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan didn't expect him to kneel down as soon as he entered the door today, and hurriedly asked him to get up, then Master Long said: "The young one is here to give gifts to the adults."

As he said that, Master Long waved his hand at the big man, and the big man put the box firmly on the ground. Lin Yuan thought to himself, "I don't know what kind of rare treasure is here."

The big man lifted the red silk, took away the lid, and pressed the handle on the box. The four sides of the box fell down like flower petals, revealing the contents. Lin Yuan was shocked when he saw it, and thought: "He Why are you sending this?"
