Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 148 Wang Lin's Day

The successful introduction of Champa Rice is a major victory of the Datang Food Revolution. No matter how many internal and external troubles a country faces, as long as the output continues to increase, the people will always live more easily.

Feng An is very relaxed now, even if he only drinks a glass of sugarcane juice every day, he is as ecstatic as if he drank a catty of three lees.

The carpenters in Baiyun Lake were very busy. They had to build a lot of barns and hoard a mountain of rice. It was impossible for the fleet of the Happiness and Feng An to pull more than 50 shi of grain to Chang'an at one time.

Building a granary is also a technical task. Of course, this set of technical theories has been mature in ancient times, so Sun Xiangfu only needs to supervise everyone to dry the rice before putting it into the warehouse.

Fortunately, the peninsula has a lot of concrete ground, so after drying their own millet, they can borrow space for the rice produced in Feng An's field to dry.

Feng Ang felt that every paddy field of more than [-] mu should have a large rice drying field, so the craftsmen in charge of firing cement also got busy. According to Feng Anjian's requirements, their workload was not small.

It's the end of July. Speaking of which, it's almost time for the autumn harvest in Chang'an. Li Jing had already left the customs with a huge caravan of more than 3 people half a month ago. It is to discuss the matter of the Japanese mission.

Li Shimin's wish came to nothing after all, and the official credentials of the Japanese mission still read as in the Sui Dynasty: the emperor sent a letter at sunrise, and the emperor was safe at sunset.

Therefore, he did not intend to return the tribute items in multiples, and he did not agree to allow three hundred Wa students to study in the Imperial College. He even did not want the Wa students to learn shipbuilding technology. There are quite a few people here, accounting for [-]% to [-]% of the civilian department and nearly [-]% of the general department.

That is to say, nearly half of the courtiers believed that the country was obedient to the Tang Dynasty, and that it should teach its shipbuilding technology, communicate with each other, and deepen commerce. Several generals, led by Qin Qiong, felt that the matter needed to be discussed again, and privately analyzed to Li Shimin, the harm of the Japanese people with advanced shipbuilding technology.

For this reason, Li Shimin struggled with the balance for several days, and finally released the word that the shipbuilding workshop of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court can share the shipbuilding technology with the Japanese country. It is good to force others to hand it over, so Inugami Ertasu won a victory that was not a victory.

Because the shipbuilding technology mastered by the shipbuilding workshops of the imperial court is basically equivalent to that of the Sui Dynasty, the Japanese country has learned it a long time ago, and the ships they built are not as suitable for high-sea navigation as the Xiangfu.

Therefore, Inugami Ertian was still active in Chang'an in order to steal shipbuilding technology, and Qin Qiong, who received a letter from Sun Xiangfu's flying pigeon, also specially sent his family to help Sun Xiangfu's guards protect the dock.

"My lord, I know that you and that Sun Zhengming are not dealing with each other. We were in Yangzhou last time. Thank you, Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu, for leaking the news about the ship. It's a pity that Sun Zhengming came too fast, so we didn't succeed. Please help the prince, if my Quanshang family can get his new sea boat, we will be able to travel to Tang Dynasty more frequently and bring more wealth to the prince."

In the private room of the Xinxiang Building, several large boxes filled with silver bricks were opened, and Inugami Ertasu bowed to Wang Lin very respectfully.

Their Inugami family has been familiar with the power factions in the Central Plains since the Inugami Mitian Sui was envoy to the Sui Dynasty. At that time, the authority of the seven clans and five surnames was at its peak, and there was almost nothing they could not do. Inuami Ertasu finally begged Wang Lin.

"It's not difficult for me to get a boat, but if you think that this money can drive me, you are very wrong." Wang Lin drank his wine very leisurely. He didn't even look at the brick box.

"I don't know how the prince can help me. Please tell me clearly." Seeing that Wang Lin didn't say anything dead, Inugami Ertianxi immediately understood what Wang Lin meant, and hurriedly asked.

"My lord, I heard that your Japanese warriors are very good at lurking and assassinating. I don't know if you have such a person under your command?" Wang Lin glanced at Inugami Ertian and asked.

"Yes, there are many. Is the prince going to send someone to assassinate Sun Zhengming? Even if the prince doesn't order, I will kill him sooner or later to avenge the dead warrior..."

"No, no, I don't mean that. Sun Zhengming is very afraid of death. It is very difficult for your people to kill him. What I need you to do is to send a few top masters who are good at assassination and martial arts Help me train a group of people, a group of women."

"Woman?" Inugami Ertayu looked at Wang Lin in confusion.

"That's right, as for Sun Zhengming's matter, you'd better not take any action now, my son will finish him personally."

"Then, about the boat?"

"The ship is now in the hands of Sun Zhengming, and he is still in Lingnan. I won't be able to find it for you for a while, but if Sun Zhengming's shipyard has more output, I will find a way for you. The matter of manpower , Training must begin immediately."

Inugami Ertachi thought about it, and he cupped his hands and said, "I will assign the manpower to the young master today."

"Very well, there is nothing important recently, so we don't want to meet each other. Also, don't act in front of those officials in the court. The emperor of Tang Dynasty is a smart man. You can easily find out these little tricks of bribing ministers. .”

"Well, I understand." Inugami Ertayu said with some embarrassment.

After he left the Xinxiang Building, Wang Lin glanced at the silver bricks in the box with disdain, and then walked towards his family's house in Chang'an.

This is not Wang Lin's usual residence. There are so many properties owned by Taiyuan Wang's family in Chang'an City, this is just an inconspicuous place.

The nursing home opened the gate, and after a while, Wang Lin walked towards an underground passage in a remote small courtyard house. Here is a prison he set up privately in Chang'an.

"Bring Hu Cai out."

Naturally, Wang Lin would not condescend to go to the dark, damp and smelly prison cell. At the exit of the dungeon, there is a relatively spacious basement filled with various instruments of torture. Kneel down and sit down, and soon, Hu Cai was brought up in front of Wang Lin by his subordinates.

"This kind of dark day is very uncomfortable!" Wang Lin didn't bother to look at the stinking beard and hair messed up like a chicken coop.

"It's not good, it's too bad. The villain's biggest wish now is to die quickly."

Hu Cai's ghostly voice was terrifying. In his sunken eye sockets, a pair of lifeless eyes looked at Wang Lin eagerly. Over the past year, he had suffered too much inhuman torture. , but the person who tortured him didn't tell him why he was tortured and when it was a head.

This is the first time he has seen Wang Lin who is as gentle as today, because in the past, when he came here, he usually held a thorny whip to tear the skin of the detainees here before giving up. Therefore, Hu I tried my best to make myself humble, I just hope that Wang Lin can talk to him a few words, or kill myself directly, but don't torture yourself anymore.

"Do you still remember who made you into what you are now?"

Wang Lin rarely showed a smile to Hu Cai.

"Remember, the villain remembers, it's that little bastard from the Sun family, if it weren't for him, I am now, I am now..." At this point, Hu Cai's tears burst out, and he could no longer choke. Can't speak.

"Do you hate him?"

"Hate, the villain can't wait to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and grind his bones into powder..."

"Okay, very good, my son will give you such a chance now, do you want it?"

"Yes, as long as the young master lets me out, I will immediately kill him and chop him into minced meat..."

"Okay, just like you are now, you have been chopped into meat by his subordinates before you get close to him. Maybe you don't know it yet! After that kid knocked you down, he flattered the emperor and used The output of your village, the coaxed emperor Longyan Dayue, even made him an official. They planted a rice with an yield of eight stones per mu in Lingnan this time. The news should spread back to Chang'an soon. By then, The emperor will even give him a title..."

"These are mine, these should be mine..."

Wang Linyue said that Hu Cai's eyes became more and more crazy. He thought that Sun Xiangfu took away his village, so it was unreasonable to think that everything that Sun Xiangfu had now should be his.

"Calm down, calm down, people like lunatics can't do things, you have to work hard to look like a normal person, only in this way can you have a chance to take revenge."

Wang Lin is very satisfied with Hu Cai's performance, his will has been destroyed long ago, now, this body is dominated by hatred, so, for revenge, he can do whatever it takes.

Two hours later, Wang Lin came out of the basement, but in today's dungeon, there was no sound of a whip, and, after Wang Lin left, the general in charge of guarding brought them drier millet Porridge.

Wang Lin, who was out of the house, was not idle, and went to Wang Gui's mansion, which is now a gathering place of the Taiyuan Wang family in Chang'an. Today, important people came here from Taiyuan.

"The elders of the clan sent someone to ask Mr. Lin about Mr. Hao's plan in the south. Did Mr. Lin leak the news?" A burly middle-aged man in a moon white robe asked Wang Lin without any expression or emotion.

"It's nothing. No one told me about Wang Hao's plans. How would I know? Besides, what good would it do me to leak his news?"

"Why did Mr. Lin go to Yangzhou?" The burly man asked again with the same gesture.

"My son went to Yangzhou to keep the family's restaurant business. The fact that Sun Zhengming wanted to open Wangjianglou branches in Luoyang, Yangzhou, and Yizhou has long been known to the family! A certain person found the Four Great Masters of Yangzhou and reached an agreement with them. Agreement, if you want to trick Sun Zhengming into partnering with them, so as to steal the management secrets of Wangjiang Tower, what has it to do with Wang Hao?"

"Okay, that's it, I will truthfully report back to the elders of the clan."

The burly man quickly finished asking two questions without staying longer, and walked out of the mansion. Wang Lin knew that this person was just a mouthpiece of the clan elders' association, and he was too lazy to argue with him. It's something he should be happy about.

Usually, when the seven clans and five surnames choose the successor of the patriarch, as the current patriarch, he will not ask, because the candidates are all his own sons, and he wants to avoid suspicion.

Therefore, this work will be done by the clan elders' association, and the clan's elders' association will often only look at the results. Whether it is someone from the outside who sabotages it or someone from the inside sells it out, as long as the matter is not completed, it proves that the master of the plan What he did was not good enough, especially in a situation like Wang Hao who wanted to play a big game but failed. In the elders' meeting, he would lose points, so Wang Lin would be in a good mood.
