Great Blue Night Watchman

Therefore, those fertile fields and fertile soil were beaten to the bone by the wealthy families. Only the things by the river beach were given away for free and no one wanted them.

Lin Su's eyes lit up: Sister Chen, decorate this ghost stone back.

Sister Chen immediately took action, took out her storage bag, and packed the ghost stones into a carriage-sized pile. This storage bag was also a wonderful thing. Normally, she would never use it to hold these things, so she followed Lin. After Su, this high-end and high-end treasure was filled with all kinds of strange things, such as pots and pans for people to eat, gifts for Sun Zhen's family, and now ghost stones, which are almost like garbage bags.

Zhen'er, is that the stone mountain you mentioned? Lin Su pointed to another bare stone mountain next to Nanshan.

Yes, that mountain is called Monk Mountain. There are no trees growing on it. It's as bare as a monk...

The four of them arrived in front of the mountain again. Lin Su leaned down, picked up a stone, and knocked it gently. Stone powder fell down one after another. He looked at the river below again, and saw a patch of yellow sand...

The light in his eyes twinkled...

Sir, what did you think of? Sister Chen asked.

Lin Su sighed softly: Sister Chen, Zhen'er, do you know why Jiangtan is so poor?

you say……

Because I'm late!

The three of them looked at each other.

Lin Su held hands together and took out the gold paper and pen. Sister Chen and Sun Zhen's eyes were full of little stars. The young master was about to write a poem. When the young master came here, he felt inspired and wanted to write a poem!

Each of the young master's poems is outstanding. What will you write today?

But they guessed wrong. What Lin Su wrote was not a poem, but a letter. As soon as the words fell, they turned into wild geese and flew into the distance. In a moment, a golden light rose from the direction of Haining City and shot towards this side. The golden light became a bridge. An old man strode over on the bridge, walked over in a few steps, and landed in front of Lin Su. It was Master Yang, the prefect of Haining.

Master Prefect! Lin Su bowed slightly.

Sister Chen and Sun Zhen were both blessed, also called magistrates.

Zheng Chunsheng knelt down directly.

Magistrate Yang laughed and said, Third Young Master, what are you doing here in this remote and remote place? Could it be that you are on an autumn outing and you called me here to have a discussion with me over drinking wine and writing poems?

No, I called you here because I want to negotiate a deal with the government.

Well, we're talking about business? Magistrate Yang immediately looked strange when he heard this: Mr. Lin, you must not ask me to pay. I can tell you that the new year is approaching and the magistrate's office can't open the pot. I really have no money to support you. If you have anything to do, I can give you verbal support, or you can do without my old face, but don’t ask me for money...

Lin Su smiled: What if I give you money?

Magistrate Yang's old face immediately relaxed: You give me money? I will never accept gifts from others. I will definitely accept gifts from your third son!

Master Prefect, you are going too far. Why do you accept the gift when I give it to you?

Because you won't let me help you break the law and harm the people. If you don't accept it, you won't accept it for free!

Ha ha ha ha……

Sister Chen was happy, and Sun Zhen also rolled his eyes quietly. His husband-in-law actually had such a good relationship with the prefect...

Lin Sudao: Let's get down to business! I want to buy these two mountains, you give me a price!

Buy these two mountains? Third Young Master, you didn't wake up from Baiyunbian after drinking too much last night. What do you want these two barren mountains for?

You care about me, just tell me whether you can be the master of the house!

Buying and selling barren mountains has always been prohibited by national law. Why can't I make the decision? I'm just thinking about you. I heard that this mountain is ominous. Why should you stick to it? I need to know that you have a bright future.

His tone became serious when he said this.

Thank you, Lord Prefect! But please believe that my buying these two mountains will be of great use!

Okay! Since you have decided, I can sell it to you on behalf of the prefect for one thousand taels of silver! How about it?

Lin Su said: Two thousand taels of silver? Master Zhifu, you are afraid that two thousand taels cannot make thousands of people in the prefecture have a good year, right? How about this? Let's increase the price, and the range will be larger. Expand it wider...

What a great method?

Lin Su said slowly: One hundred thousand taels of silver! I want these two mountains. In addition, I want the place where hundreds of thousands of refugees live in Jiangtan, which will never be disturbed by anyone.

One hundred thousand taels?

Not to mention Magistrate Yang, even Sister Chen, who knew Lin Su's financial resources well, was shocked.

Magistrate Yang's eyes flashed: You want these two mountains and the Shili River Beach to be settled in your name?

No! It's not like that! These two mountains are settled in my name, but the Shili River Beach belongs to the 100,000 refugees on the river beach. I want no one to interfere with their lives or rob their land, even if it's me. Lin Su will not touch an inch of land in Jiangtan Village!

Mr. Lin, you...what do you want? Magistrate Yang took a long breath.

Lin Sudao: One hundred thousand refugees on the river bank come from all over the country. They no longer have a home, but I hope that this place can become their stable home! This home was built by them with their own hands and is slowly changing, but I never want to wait until When the river beach becomes beautiful, someone suddenly jumps out and drives them away!

I understand! Magistrate Yang slowly turned around and looked into the distance. Finally, he turned back again: Mr. Lin, we cannot sign this agreement today. I will give you an answer within three days.

good!

Farewell!

Magistrate Yang's golden light soared into the sky and flew back to the magistrate's mansion.

Lin Su's eyes fell back and fell on the faces of the three people. The expressions on the three people's faces were different.

Young Master, Magistrate Yang...what does Magistrate Yang mean? Sun Zhen didn't understand. Magistrate Yang himself offered two thousand, but the young master gave him one hundred thousand, but he backed down.

Lin Sudao: He knows the powerful relationship between this, whether it is a mountain or a forty-mile river beach. He can make the decision today, but what about tomorrow? What if there is a different prefect? ​​What if His Majesty the King calls for a halt? So, He needs to ask the capital for instructions. Only the national treaty approved by His Majesty the Emperor can truly fulfill this contract and ensure that the conditions I propose are not a mirror image.

Let's go! Go back home!

Return home?

Sun Zhen's heart trembled slightly. He wanted to return home. What should she do? What she told her mother was that she had recovered from her illness, so she went home, but she did not say that she became his concubine...

Now, she can't leave him for a moment...

I'll take you away! Come back with me.

Is it really possible? Otherwise, sir, you can buy me with a few taels of silver, Sun Zhen thought naively...

When they arrived at the refugee point, Lin Su directly mentioned it to Old Sun, Sun Zhen is a very nice girl. I want to take her away. Uncle Sun, look...

Old Suntou and his wife knelt down at the same time: Young Master is so kind, and I am very grateful. My daughter's life was saved by Young Master. You can take me away if you need me. It's the right thing to do like a cow or a horse.

The only good thing about feudal society was that it was quite easy when it came to population.

Lin Su took out a bag, handed it to Sun Zhen quietly, and said a few words in her ear.

Sun Zhen pulled his parents into the house, handed the bag to them, and said, This is the wages the master gave to his daughter, take it.

He turned around and followed Lin Su.

The old couple looked at each other in confusion: Give me back my wages?

Isn't that true? Could it be that Zhen'er has really become his legitimate maid? Old man, open it and see how much you gave...

The old man opened the bag, and his hand suddenly shook. There were a few snowflake silver ingots on the ground, and a total of fifty taels of silver ingots, 2!

One hundred taels? my wife shouted.

Where is one hundred taels? Look at this... The old man unfolded the paper in his hand, and it was written clearly on it, pay one thousand taels with the ticket!

One thousand one hundred taels! My wife murmured: What are you doing, young master? You can't even sell it for such a small change...

…

On the way back to the car, Sun Zhen still couldn't hold it back and quietly asked the young master, how much money did you put in that bag? Don't give too much, my parents can't stand the fright.

How much is too much? Lin Su grabbed her little hand and stroked it gently.

One hundred taels!

Congratulations, little beauty, you answered correctly. The cash is indeed one hundred taels. In addition, there are some banknotes, one thousand taels...

Sun Zhen's whole body stiffened. After a long time, she softly exhaled, slowly approached Lin Su's arms, and quietly said coquettishly: Master, you have now bought Zhen'er from head to toe. What are you going to do with Zhen'er?

Do……

Sun Zhen's face turned red, bad boy, if you say that again, Zhen'er will bite you...

After entering the Lin Mansion and returning to the west courtyard, Lin Su drew a picture for Sister Chen. It only took Sister Chen ten minutes to bring over a strange metal stove and a strange metal object. Lin Su saw The stove frowned...

Sister Chen was very curious: What, sir, did you do something wrong?

Yes! That's so right! Lin Su sighed: Sister Chen, are you too delicate? You actually carve patterns on a burning stove.

Sister Chen smiled: Isn't this what the young master wants? Of course what the young master wants, he must use the best.

The next step was to pour out the pile of black coal. Lin Su picked up the shovel with his own hands, mixed the sand with water, and pounded it into a mud shape. Then he used the metal object made by Sister Chen to stamp on the mud and knock it out. Became a briquette.

Okay, let's let it dry in the sun and try burning it!

The coal was burning, the flames rose, and a kettle started to sizzle in a short while. Sister Chen kept paying attention to the people in the yard nervously. No one seemed to have any abnormalities. The poisonous gas did not react. What did the young master add to this ghost stone? Make the ghost stone no longer poisonous?

Lin Su explained to her: What I added was just ordinary soil. There is no antidote at all. Its only function is to make the... coal more sticky. A hole is made in the middle to facilitate air circulation. Those poisonous gases are actually It is caused by insufficient combustion, and the courtyard is open and ventilated, so it will naturally not be poisoned.

Sister Chen suddenly realized: Young master mentioned adding a chimney on the mountain. With this chimney, you can burn indoors even in the cold winter?

Exactly! Find a sealed house and do an experiment.

The experiment was quickly done. Sister Chen suggested that others go out first and she stay in the room alone all night, but Lin Su disagreed. He insisted on staying in the room alone. He was there. Who among the women in the yard would agree? Walk?

As a result, a bunch of people were crowded into the small sealed room.

It was a very cold night in late autumn, but with the stove burning, the room was unusually warm.

Green Yi took off her coat first, followed by Liu Xing'er. Sister Chen is a martial arts practitioner and rarely wears much. Sun Zhen is from the countryside and doesn't wear much even in winter. After entering the Lin Mansion, everyone knows She was Lin Su Na's concubine, and she took special care of her. She bought her a bunch of coats all at once and insisted on her wearing them. At this time, she was also placed next to Lin Su, letting the little girl wear all her clothes. I don't dare to move if I have a fever.

The heat was a bit uncomfortable now, and she didn't dare to take it off.

Seriously, isn't it a bit hot? Let me help you take off your clothes.

Sun Zhen was frightened by Lin Su's words and quickly stood up: I'll take it off myself...

In the West Courtyard, she behaved very low-key, never daring to treat herself as a concubine, let alone treating someone else as a maid. How dare she, even if she was a young mistress, if the master wanted to help her take off her clothes.

Everyone was amused when they saw her cautious look.

Everyone still likes this girl.

At this moment, a little head from outside poked in: It's so warm in this room, sir, can I come in?

It's Xiaoyao.

Come! Lin Su waved directly, called Xiaoyao in, and looked him up and down: Well, not bad. Although I have eaten more than others in the past six months, I have grown a little after all, and I have not eaten in vain.

Xiaoyao felt embarrassed: Xiao Tao ate more than me...

What do you mean? Complaining, right? Xiaotao didn't eat your food... Lin Su tapped her forehead, and everyone laughed.

Sun Zhen was really curious. Look at this, look at that. Are these the master and his servant?

Why is everything so different in the Lin family?

Sir, why are you sitting here with so many people here? Tell me a story...the kind of story you told me when you held me to sleep...

Everyone's eyes looked a little strange. Did they hold her to sleep before?

Lin Su immediately explained: You were a child before, and the stories were all to coax children...

Everyone’s eyes are getting weirder, kid? You don’t even let the children go…

Lin Su quickly changed the subject: Okay, let me tell you a story. This story is a bit long. It's called The Legend of White Snake...

Talking about the West Lake, in the spring of March, the spring grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, and Liu Xiayan returns. In the West Lake, a white smoke suddenly rises from the water, falls on the lake bank, and turns into two women. One on the left, dressed in white, named Bai Suzhen, and one on the right One person, named Qingyi, is named Xiaoqing. They are not humans, but snake spirits. Bai Suzhen has been practicing for thousands of years, and Xiaoqing has been practicing for five hundred years. Bai Suzhen came to the world because she was a mountain cultivator a thousand years ago. When she was looking for a white snake, she was caught by a snake catcher. A scholar named Xu rescued her. Before she became an immortal, she asked to see the saints. The saints told her that your fate in the world is still unresolved and you cannot become an immortal. , if she wants to ascend to the immortal path, she must obtain earthly fate, so she came to the West Lake under the guidance of the saints. This was the prelude to a beautiful love affair, and later generations have words to prove it:

The light of the West Lake is as clear as a mirror, and there are several autumn moons and spring breezes. In the sunset, the mountains and rivers are still there, and the shadow of the tower rises in the sky. There are so many gods and ghosts. According to legend, old children, no longer doubt the Yanyi type Qidong, Don’t listen to what you say, and try to imitate all the gentlemen...
