The best little eunuch

Chapter 141
"Slowly solve the difficulty." Lin Feng said: "Send people to places where there are many people in Flangji, and recruit a few craftsmen to come back. As long as the price is high, you can definitely recruit a lot of craftsmen." Lin Feng has always believed in one sentence : Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!As long as the starting price is paid, craftsmen are definitely not a problem.

"Yes, my lord, I'll send someone to do it right away." Yao Xing said.

Back at the left-behind department, Li Wenyuan found Lin Feng and reported the tax situation to him.At present, generally speaking, the tax collection is going well, basically all of them are collected, and the tax collection in the southeast province is also relatively smooth. After all, it is a site that Jin Quan has been operating for a long time. Therefore, Jin Quan's words are still very useful .

"This is the most critical step, we are finally going out." Lin Feng said.If Lin Feng came to the south of the Yangtze River and couldn't even collect the tax, then what other things are there to talk about.Hurry up and roll up the bed and go back.

"My lord, shall we hand over this month's commercial tax to the imperial court?" Li Wenyuan asked.It stands to reason that the taxes and taxes received by the localities must be transported to the imperial court.Of course, few provinces do this now. Basically, each province retains it for its own development or simply swallows it up.

"No need." Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "It's good if we don't ask the imperial court for money. How can we have extra money for the imperial court?"

"Yes, my lord." Li Wenyuan said.Li Wenyuan naturally knew about the non-payment of taxes by government offices in various places, so he came to ask Lin Feng whether the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River paid taxes.

"How much tax money do we still have?" Lin Feng asked.In the past few days, I have spent a lot of money.Now, he still needs to prepare a sum of money to be used as a prison.After all, with so many craftsmen, it is impossible without spending money.

"My lord, this time I collected a total of more than 100 taels of commercial tax, plus the 50 million taels my lord brought back from Beijiang and the 100 taels of Yandao Yamen, and deducted the 100 million taels my lord gave to the navy. Say, we still have [-] million taels left." Li Wenyuan said.Li Wenyuan admired Lin Feng for collecting so much money in such a short time since he came to Jiangnan. He remembered how difficult it was to raise funds when the King of Wu raised his army.

"Is there only 100 million taels left?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.It seems that spending money is far faster than making money.

"My lord, this one million taels is not a small amount." Li Wenyuan reminded kindly that the imperial court's annual tax is only how much, and it has to bear the military expenses and other messy expenses.

"It's not enough!" Lin Feng said: "You first transfer 20 taels to Yao Xing, he must be in need of money now." If Yao Xing wants to recall those craftsmen, he has to find the craftsmen of Flang Machine, so naturally he needs money .

"Yes, my lord, I will send it to Lord Yao Xing in a while." Li Wenyuan said.

"There is one more thing, I'm going to the navy to have a look, I'll entrust you with the Nanjiang matter." Lin Feng said.Regarding the navy, Lin Feng naturally has his own opinions, and he wants to add his own ideas. Of course, whether it is suitable or not, it needs to be discussed before reaching a conclusion.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's difficult for a subordinate official to take on this important task?" Li Wenyuan said. After all, he was just a small county magistrate before, and now he is also serving as the chief envoy. This has already made Li Wenyuan a little powerless. If there is no Lin Feng At the helm, Li Wenyuan was really a little apprehensive.

"It's a difficult task?" Lin Feng asked: "Isn't this officer also being kicked out of the shelves? In terms of experience, I'm afraid I can't even compare with you, right?"

"My lord, you're a genius, my lord..." Before Li Wenyuan could finish speaking, Lin Feng interrupted, and said, "Put it down, you shitty talent. I know how much I own, and I know better than anyone else. Don't be humble, I say you can do it, you can do it!"

"Your official must live up to your lord's trust." Li Wenyuan also said enthusiastically.

"Okay, I'll leave in the afternoon, and I will entrust you with the affairs of Jiangnan for the time being." Lin Feng said to Li Wenyuan.

Hearing that she was going to the southeast province, Dong'er couldn't sit still any longer, and pulled Ruan Ling'er to find Lin Feng.

"Miss, don't you have something to say to Mr. Lin?" Seeing that Ruan Linger had been silent, Dong'er said it.

After glaring at Dong'er, Ruan Ling'er asked with some embarrassment: "I heard that you are going to the southeast province?"

"Yeah, I'll be leaving in the afternoon." Lin Feng asked, "What's the matter? Are you there?"

"Yes, yes, yes, of course." Dong'er immediately answered, "Miss, tell me quickly."

"That... that, can I go with you?" Ruan Ling'er finally said this.

Hearing that Ruan Ling'er didn't mention her, Dong'er quickly pulled Ruan Ling'er's sleeve, and said, "Miss, I, and me!"

"And Dong'er, let's go together." Ruan Ling'er quickly added Dong'er.

Looking at this pair of master and servant, Lin Feng couldn't help laughing, and said: "You are really interesting as a pair of master and servant. Others are the lady who directs the servant girl. It's good for you, the servant girl is now directing the lady."

"Dong'er...Dong'er is not a maid, she is my good sister." Hearing Lin Feng said that Dong'er was his maid, Ruan Linger said quickly.

"Okay, okay. Anyway, it's not a business trip for me, so I'll take you with me." Lin Feng said.

Pulling Ruan Ling'er, Dong'er said: "Miss, let's go back and pack things quickly?" After speaking, he pulled Ruan Ling'er and ran to the residence.On the contrary, Ruan Ling'er looked at Lin Feng with some embarrassment, but was dragged away helplessly by Dong'er.

"This pair of master and servant!" Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, and walked outside.

He found Niu Jin and said to him, "Where did you put the cannon you brought back from Beijiang last time?"

"It's all in our warehouse." Niu Jin said.He knew how precious Lin Feng was to these things, so after pulling them back, Niu Jinna sent people to guard them twelve hours a day, for fear that something might happen.

"Okay, take these cannons, and we'll go to the southeast province in a while." Lin Feng said.

"My lord, I don't want to keep this cannon for my own use. Should I give it to General Xin Hong?" Niu Jin asked with some disappointment.Originally thought that these things were going to be placed in the Governor's Mansion, but unexpectedly they were going to be sent to others.

"Don't guess, get someone to load the car and get ready to go." Lin Feng said.

"Yes, my lord." Niu Jin said, and hurriedly went to the guards to start loading the cannons.

Fortunately, those cannons are basically kept in the box all the time, and they have not been taken out, so it is better to load them into the car.After everything was ready, Lin Feng and his party were ready to go to the southeast province.

"I've grown so big, I haven't been out of Jinling yet." Dong'er was riding on the horse, not to mention the joy in her heart.

Looking at Dong'er, Ruan Ling'er said, "Dong'er has been with me since she was very young. She and I grew up together. We love sisters."

"I know." Lin Feng said, "Dong'er is still a child."

"Don't look at Dong'er as a child, but her kung fu is definitely not weak, and many men are not necessarily her opponents. It is precisely for this reason that Dad let Dong'er follow me. Dad is afraid that people will bully me." As Ruan Ling'er spoke, she couldn't help thinking of her father, and she seemed a little depressed.

Gently grabbing Ruan Ling'er's hand, Lin Feng said, "Don't worry, no one will bully you in the future."

"Yes, I know." Ruan Ling'er nodded vigorously and said.

"Miss, you let him take advantage of you again." Dong'er, who appeared at an unknown time, directly destroyed the beautiful atmosphere.

Pretty face flushed slightly, Ruan Ling'er turned her head, glared at Dong'er, and said, "If you talk nonsense, I won't take you to the southeast province."

"Miss, you can't do this." Dong'er said aggrievedly: "Tell me, who has been with you all the time, now that you have Young Master Lin, you don't want Dong'er anymore, Dong'er is so sad!"

"You..." Ruan Ling'er wanted to lose her temper, but seeing Dong'er like that, she held back and said, "I was just joking with you. Why didn't I take you there?"

Immediately bursting into tears, Dong'er said, "I knew that Miss, you are the best for Dong'er. Then I'll go ahead and have a look, and you continue to let Mr. Lin take advantage." After speaking, Dong'er turned his horse's head and headed towards the far side. gone.

"Dong'er...Dong'er speaks freely, don't mind." Ruan Ling'er said with some embarrassment.

Lin Feng also smiled awkwardly, and said: "It's okay. Since Dong'er has already said, let me continue to take advantage of you, then I will not be polite." As Lin Feng said, he was about to jump on Ruan Linger's horse and go , but Ruan Ling'er saw through Lin Feng's thoughts, and urged the war horse first, and walked a few steps quickly, so that Lin Feng's treacherous scheme did not succeed.
