Need for money

Lin Jingzhi didn't know about Aunt Yu's taking action to teach the hidden guards a lesson. Hearing that Aunt Yu said that the hidden guards of the Lin family were good, he smiled slightly. It seemed that Yang Wei, who was in charge of the hidden guards, was very attentive to the training of the hidden guards. Thinking of Yang Wei, he remembered the pair of big hands he saw when he first met him.

The joints are thick, twice the size of an ordinary person, and the calluses are thick and spread all over the palm of the hand.

After driving back to the wasteland with Aunt Yu, Lin Jingzhi went straight to the chief steward, and when Pang Lu saw it, he hurried up to meet him.

"Boss, the business in the store was very bad a while ago, and there were not many stocks. I want to close the door temporarily, and let the shopkeepers and the guys come here to help. What do you think?" The project is too big to manage without enough manpower.

Pang Lu frowned when he heard the words, and replied, "Second Master, this is not good? All the shops of the Lin family have been established for decades, and they are industries passed down from their ancestors. Why don't they close the doors? After closing the door, it is estimated that it will reopen in the future, and its reputation will not be as good as before."

"Well, what you said is also reasonable, but now there is no escort agency that can help the Lin family suppress goods, and the inventory is not much, we can't open some empty shops with no goods to sell." Regarding the change of business, Lin Jingzhi I had already discussed it with Mrs. Lin, so Mrs. Lin probably wouldn't object to closing the shop. After all, everyone knew that this was a forced decision.

Since the last time Lin Jingzhi and Wang Meng tore their faces and shook off the backer of the Zheng family, no one dared to make trouble in front of the Lin family's store, so the business has improved a lot, and even the small inventory has been reduced. It's almost sold out.

Pang Lu has been helping to manage the business outside the house, and he knows the situation of the shortage of goods best. Knowing that what his master said is reasonable, he nodded reluctantly.

Lin Jingzhi saw a trace of melancholy on the chief manager's face, he couldn't bear to close the store just like that, and persuaded: "The store will reopen sooner or later, you don't have to worry about it too much, and now the Lin family is opening up wasteland. The news of the digging of the canal caused a lot of noise in the nearby cities, everyone knew about it, and everyone knew about it, and the limelight was the same for a while, so I reckon that when it reopens in the future, it will not damage its reputation."

In addition, if the store can be reopened in the future, the Lin family must have settled their opponents. By then, Lin Jingzhi will still be in the embroidery business, embroidering cartoon dolls or cartoon animals. Unique, not afraid of bad business.

Hearing Lin Jingzhi's comfort, the chief steward's face looked much better. It's true that the prestige of the Lin family will only increase by opening up wasteland and digging canals. Even if the store is closed, outsiders will think that the Lin family is in Busy with big things, I can't take care of these small businesses.

"Second Lord, there isn't much stock left in the shop now, how about this, the old slave asked the stewards to move all the goods to a shop, and continue to sell them, and close all the others, what do you think?"

"Okay, after the goods are transshipped, you can ask those management guys to come here to help immediately. Digging canals in wasteland is a big project, and the construction period must not be delayed."

After Lin Jingzhi finished speaking, Pang Lu quickly responded.

After inspecting the wasteland for a while, the sun was setting, Aunt Yu reckoned to rush back now, and when she reached Luocheng, it would be dark, she stepped forward and said, "Second Lord, it's getting late, let's go back home. "

Previously, Lin Jingzhi shuttled back and forth among the disaster victims, and saw that these people showed simple smiles just because they could have a stutter, they could build their own houses, and they didn’t have to eat and sleep in the open. , also joined in and enjoyed the fun of working together.

Hearing Aunt Yu's words, he took two steps back, wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, raised his head to look at the position of the sun, and replied, "Well, it's time to go home."

Since the death of the first emperor, Luo City has enforced a curfew. You are not allowed to go to the streets at night. After the sun goes down, the city gates must be closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the city at night.

So if Lin Jingzhi couldn't make it back before the sun went down, he would have to live outside the city.

Seeing that Lin Jingzhi responded, Aunt Yu ordered a few guards to bring fresh water from the Luohe River, let Lin Jingzhi wash his hands and clean his face, and then everyone got on their horses and ran towards the direction of Luocheng.

A group of more than ten people walked, horseshoes flew, dust splashed, and the birds in the forest jumped from the branches, spread their wings and flew high, circling and singing above the heads of everyone.

When we returned to Los Angeles, the sun was slanting towards the west, and it was almost setting on the peaks in the sky. Looking far away, there were patches of red clouds, and the soldiers in the city were holding long guns. The refugees were driven out of the city. These refugees did not dare to resist. They just huddled together with their relatives and walked forward silently, letting the unbearable shouts and curses come from behind.

Aunt Yu has a straight temper and can't stand the shouting of these soldiers. She wanted to teach her a lesson, but Lin Jingzhi stopped her with her eyes. The late emperor passed away, and all the cities of the dynasty had a curfew, and all evening activities were canceled to show her condolences , Now that these soldiers are performing their duties, there is really no reason for their own side to meddle in their own business.

The Lin family was already at odds with Wang Meng, and it would be very bad if Wang Meng caught his foot because of this incident. After all, the curfew incident involved the former emperor.

All things related to the royal family can be big or small. To put it mildly, Aunt Yu just taught a few soldiers a lesson. Everyone turned a blind eye and closed one eye. It can be regarded as nothing happened. , that is disrespect to the first emperor, but this one is a serious crime of beheading.

Aunt Yu now also knew that the situation of the Lin family was not good, so she took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and stopped looking at the soldiers again.

Today Lin Jingzhi got up early in the morning. After a busy day, he came to the gate of the Lin Mansion and jumped off his horse. Feeling very tired, he handed the reins of the horse to the guard behind him, raised his legs, and walked slowly towards his own. Small courtyard.

Aunt Yu followed closely behind him. Seeing that he was extremely tired, she hesitated for a while, but in the end she didn't step forward to help, she just beckoned to find two little maids, one on the left and the other on the right to support Lin Jingzhi's arms.

"Second Master, my concubine is leaving." When she came to the gate of Lin Jingzhi's small courtyard, Aunt Yu took the initiative to say goodbye. She didn't want to go in and meet Tang Yuxiang.

Lin Jingzhi nodded when he heard the words, and replied with concern: "Well, you have been tired with me all day, you should go to bed early, and I will order the kitchen to add a few more dishes for you when making dinner later, to make up for it. Make up your body."

Although Lin Jingzhi only said a small matter, Aunt Yu felt warm in her heart when she heard it. Just as she was about to answer and left, she suddenly heard the sound of lifting the door curtain in the small courtyard, and then a person came out from the house. Seeing that Lin Jingzhi and Aunt Yu had returned home, people hurriedly said:

"Second Master, Yu'er, we're all at the door, why don't you come in?"
