The best little eunuch

Chapter 70

Chapter 70

"There are no outsiders..." Before Ruan Ling'er finished speaking, Lin Feng's salty hand had already moved towards Ruan Ling'er.Ruan Ling'er, who couldn't bear it anymore, slapped Lin Feng's hand away, and said, "How could you do this?" Just when Lin Feng was about to stretch out his salty pig's hand again, Ruan Ling'er said, "I have something to tell you. "

Seeing that Ruan Ling'er was so serious, Lin Feng asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

"Sit down first." After pushing Lin Feng onto the chair and sitting down, Ruan Ling'er moved the chair and sat in front of Lin Feng, and said, "I have made a decision."

"What decision?" Lin Feng asked.Seeing Ruan Ling'er's solemn expression aroused Lin Feng's curiosity.

Raising her head and looking at Lin Feng, Ruan Ling'er said almost word for word: "I decided not to go back to the capital with you."

"What?" Lin Feng jumped up from the chair and asked, "Why? Didn't we just agree?"

"Don't get excited, sit down and listen to me." Pulling Lin Feng back to the chair and sitting down, Ruan Ling'er said, "I did this after careful consideration."

"I can't ignore the issue of the eighteen villages in the south of the Yangtze River. Especially those people who came out with me, their villages suffered heavy losses. I can't ignore this issue. So, after I'm going to deal with the affairs on the Jiangnan side first, I'll go to the capital to find you again." Ruan Ling'er explained her reasons.

Looking at Ruan Ling'er, Lin Feng said, "But... didn't I arrange to compensate those who died?"

Shaking her head, Ruan Linger said: "It was given by the government. As the chief helmsman of the Eighteen Villages in the south of the Yangtze River, I also have my own responsibilities. Now many villages have suffered heavy losses, and I have to arrange the next one for them. Life."

"What do you want to do?" Lin Feng asked: "Could it be possible to recruit them again and continue to prosper the cottage?"

"How is that possible? Back then, they were all willing to follow me down the mountain to help you fight the King of Wu, which meant that they didn't want to be called bandits all the time. Now that they have gone down the mountain, naturally they won't go back up the mountain again." Ruan Ling'er Said to Lin Feng.During this period of time, she also discussed these matters with several leaders.

When Ruan Ling'er said this, Lin Feng was confused and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"My idea is that if we sell all the things in Ruanjiazhai, we should be able to scrape together a lot of money. I wonder if I can buy some property for the homeless people. I can't let them just sleep on the street like this." ?” Ruan Liner said.

There was another more important reason why she sold her property: since everything in the village was sold, it was impossible for her to go back.By doing this, she did not leave a way out for herself, and followed Lin Feng wholeheartedly.

"What about the other cottages?" Lin Feng asked.In the past, the eighteen villages in the south of the Yangtze River were regarded as an alliance relationship, and they were restrained by a unified person, and their actions were not too excessive.Now that Ruan Lin'er is gone, Lin Feng is worried that those cottages that have lost their restraint will make trouble while the imperial court is empty in the south of the Yangtze River.

"I can't control the other cottages. If they want to, they can listen to my advice and go down the mountain to do some normal business. If they don't want to, they can only stay on the mountain forever." Ruan Ling'er said.The cottages that came this time are all cottages that are relatively close to the Ruanjiazhai, and it is difficult for Ruan Lingre to mobilize the other cottages.

After Ruan Ling'er said this, Lin Feng began to think: These people are a big hidden danger if they stay! "Is it possible to recruit them?" Lin Feng asked.

Shaking her head, Ruan Ling'er said, "It's hard to say, but I'm willing to give it a try."

Grabbing Ruan Ling'er's hand, Lin Feng said, "Thank you."

Smiling sweetly at Lin Feng, Ruan Ling'er said, "Do we need this?"

"Of course it will be useful." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he kissed Ruan Ling'er on the small mouth and said, "This is a thank you gift for you."

"You rascal." Ruan Ling'er said slightly angrily with her cheeks flushed.

Looking at Ruan Ling'er badly, Lin Feng asked: "There are even more rascals, do you want to take a look?"

"No." Ruan Ling'er said, and immediately jumped up, keeping a distance from Lin Feng.

The two fought for a while, and Lin Feng said: "Perhaps, I can help you deal with those people who have been following us to fight King Wu."

"What good method do you have?" Ruan Ling'er asked.She was still worrying about whether her family property was enough, but now, Lin Feng had a good idea.

"That's right. Nanjiang province is currently jealous of the lack of officials, so I..." Before Lin Feng finished speaking, Ruan Ling'er rushed to say: "You won't let them become officials, right? That's not okay. "

"Even if they want to become officials, I can't let them go?" Lin Feng said.Officials from all over the country are to be sent down by the imperial court, and Lin Feng can't make the decision.Even if he is the master, he can't let those people be the parents' officials?How do they know how to govern the place?
"Then what do you mean?" Ruan Ling'er asked.Originally thought that Lin Feng wanted these people to become officials?

"Although these people can't be the chief officials of a certain place, they are definitely capable of being a fast catcher or government servant. As for the first-level leaders, they can be asked to do things like headhunters. Although they are not considered to be What kind of official, but at any rate, it can be regarded as eating the emperor's food. Besides, with my help, no one would dare to embarrass them." Lin Feng said what he had just thought suddenly.

In this way, there are two advantages: first, it can be regarded as giving an explanation to those who have been helping me.At least not chilling.It is said that the imperial court will throw them aside after using them.

The second and most important benefit is that these people can be regarded as their own no matter what, so they can be regarded as indirectly helping themselves to control the place.Moreover, the yamen servants and the arresters are the actual managers of various places.After all, the magistrate is too far away.Moreover, the county magistrate who was born as an ordinary scholar didn't bother to mingle with the common people.

"You have a good idea, but I need to discuss it with the leaders. After all, this is not a small decision." Ruan Ling'er looked at Lin Feng and said.Although Lin Feng's proposal is very good, there will always be people who oppose it.

"That's fine, I'll go with you." Lin Feng said.

The two gathered the surviving people this time, told Lin Feng's thoughts, and then began to ask for their opinions.

Zhou Yishui was the first to speak, and he said: "My lord, Chief Steward, I'm old and I can't move anymore. Next, I just want to find a place to live the rest of my life safely. As for eating imperial food, I'm afraid I won't have this life."

"Since the old village master Zhou said so, I'll let someone arrange a quiet place for the old village master Zhou, okay?" Lin Feng asked after listening to Zhou Shui's speech.

Bowing deeply to Lin Feng, Zhou Yishui said, "Thank you sir, you are a good person, and even more so, a good official."

"Mr. Zhou, you are being polite." Lin Feng said very modestly.

After Zhou Yishui finished speaking, Sun Xuanfeng said: "Master Lin, I have a question. We went to another place, those dog officials... no, I didn't mean that, I mean those officials will not bully us, right?"

Sun Xuanfeng was afraid of being bullied by the government, so his first reaction was to work under those officials, would those officials bully them.

"Haha, Brother Sun, don't worry about this matter. No one will bully you. The county magistrate is very powerful, so he has to count on you to do business. Without you, why would he do those chores by himself?" Lin Feng asked Sun Cyclone explained.

"That's good, that's good. I've been afraid of being bullied by dog ​​officials all my life." Sun Xuanfeng kept saying good.If he was still bullied by those officials when he became a catcher or a yamen servant, he would rather continue to go back to the mountains as a bandit.

After asking the first question, Sun Xuanfeng asked the second question again: "My lord, don't those dog officials resign all the brothers?" If Lin Feng had arranged such a good job for them, they would let those officials Resigned, wouldn't that be a joyous occasion.

"If you don't correct your bad habits, you will most likely be fired. Officials from all over the country have the right to freely hire arresters and yamen servants." Lin Feng explained.After all, the arresters and yamen servants are to assist the county magistrate in running errands. If the yamen servants and arresters under him are disobedient, the county magistrate will naturally dismiss them.However, under normal circumstances, the magistrate is too lazy to take care of these things.

"Then I'll change it, right away." Sun Xuanfeng said quickly.It made everyone else laugh.

"Who has any questions?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"My lord, can I choose to join the army?" This time it was Hong Zhengqiang, the second leader of the Ruan family village, who asked the question.This time, he also made a lot of contributions.Yao Xing's credit book has already been written down.Just wait until they return to the capital, and give them credit.

Glancing at Hong Zhengqiang, Lin Feng said: "Of course you can. Brother Hong, you are so strong, it is definitely a good material to be a soldier. Moreover, you have made a lot of contributions this time. In the future, when the court rewards you, a hundred households will run away." It's gone."

"My lord, are you serious? Can I become a hundred households?" Hong Zhengqiang asked a little excitedly.

Nodding his head, Lin Feng said: "Of course. Brother Hong, you are brave in killing the enemy. You are a rare warrior. As long as you practice a little, you will definitely be a warrior in the future."
