Chapter 287 Go to Yamen
Chapter 287 Go to Yamen
Facing this magnificent courtyard, everyone from Lijiazhuang just glanced at it with their peripheral vision and kept walking forward.
This courtyard was the most majestic one they had seen along the way. The entire street was almost occupied by this house. The courtyard wall alone was nearly four meters high, with a majestic gate and tigers standing on both sides. Statues all embody the word luxury.
But when they came back to their senses, they found that the carriage had stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.
Li Hu took the key to the door and took a few steps forward to open the courtyard door.
Seeing that everyone remained motionless, Lin Xiaofan clapped his hands and said:
"Everyone go in."
Hearing this, everyone came back to their senses. Looking at the courtyard in front of him, Song Shang couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked with a trembling voice.
"Lin...Brother Lin, is this your yard?"
Even though the facts were before him, he couldn't believe it.
This is the center of the entire town! In the entire Degao County, the land here is the most expensive! He couldn't even imagine the amount of money it would cost to build a compound here.
You know, Lin Xiaofan was a penniless poor boy just a few months ago.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied?"
Lin Xiaofan said with a smile.
"Satisfied, naturally satisfied."
Song Shang nodded repeatedly.
He had been following Lin Xiaofan from the beginning, and he was considered a veteran under his command. As long as you work diligently and don't make any big mistakes, your future will be bright.
Yesterday, Brother Lin also said that it was a time of shortage of manpower, and he must perform well during this period.
Thinking about it, Song Shang's heart was filled with energy.
If he and Lin Xiaofan were in the past because of the high wages, now he and Lin Xiaofan are in it because of their heartfelt recognition.
After bypassing the narrower path, a paradise-like scene emerges. However, Lin Xiaofan had no time to appreciate it at this time. He had many things to arrange.
The first is the storage problem of Lei Zhenzi. It happened that there was a secret cave in this compound, located under a house. The entrance could only be seen by lifting the floor under the bed.
According to Zhao Shan, this was the place where the previous county magistrate hid gold and silver treasures, and it was very hidden. If the county magistrate hadn't taken the initiative to recruit him, they wouldn't have been able to search here.
Now this location can be temporarily used to store Lei Zhenzi. However, the danger index of Lei Zhenzi is too high, so it is not a problem to keep it in your own yard. After recruiting more guards in the future, it is best to scatter and bury them, and then arrange many hidden guards around them for cover.
There are also some other trivial matters, try to finish them today.
"Third uncle, you take the money. You take Wu Fengxue around the city and find a larger blacksmith shop to buy it. At the same time, the blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop also find ways to stay."
With that said, Lin Xiaofan took out five hundred taels of silver notes.
"Xiao Fan, you don't need so much."
Li San took it and counted it, and said immediately.
In Degao Town, the shops are not expensive, and most of the blacksmith shops are on the outskirts of the town, and they occupy a small area. You can buy a good one for fifty taels of silver.
As for blacksmiths, they can only earn a living in this era, and ten pence a day's wages is enough. These five hundred taels of silver can probably hire several blacksmiths for a lifetime.
"Third uncle, just take it. There will definitely be many shortcomings in the things you study in the future, so you don't have to ask me for it again."
Lin Xiaofan waved his hand and said.
Perhaps due to the influence of the original owner, or perhaps because Li San took care of him like a pair, Li San always had a high status in his heart. Therefore, he was not stingy at all when treating Li San.
Moreover, Li San figured out a way to enhance the power of gunpowder and helped him make a repeating crossbow. These contributions cannot be compared to five hundred taels of silver.
"No, Xiaofan, this money is too much. Now that your career has just started, it's time to use money. I can't take this money."
Li San wants to stuff the money back again. He still couldn't tell that Lin Xiaofan wanted to give him money.
However, he had always felt that taking care of Lin Xiaofan was what he should do, and he never thought about asking for anything in return. Being able to see Lin Xiaofan growing up day by day made him very satisfied.
The two of them tried to shirk again, but in the end Lin Xiaofan was really no match for Li San, so he was forced to give back two hundred taels of silver notes.
Looking at Li San's leaving figure, Lin Xiaofan smiled and shook his head.
Regardless, there will be plenty of opportunities for him in the future.
"Xiao Ran, Tian Meng, go and buy a larger earthen kiln. I will use it in the future."
The production of hydrated lime must also be accelerated and shipped as soon as possible before the first batch of coarse salt is produced.
"Shishi, Sisi, Yanyan, you go buy some slaves and bring them back. About forty are enough. There are also fresh ingredients. Buy some. If you have time, go to the tailor shop and order some spring and summer sets. Clothes to wear.”
Now that the family has money, it is naturally impossible to wear the original shabby clothes.
Considering that the three of them might not know the way, Lin Xiaofan continued:
"Tian Yu, you should go too, remember to bring more guards."
After arranging these things, Lin Xiaofan decided to go to the Yamen to see how Bao Tianqing was doing recently.
There was also the matter of sulfur, Li San also mentioned it to him yesterday. Most of the sulfur in Degao Town has been sold out. He once mentioned this matter to Bao Tianqing and asked him to help find it nearby. This trip was just in time to ask about this matter.
"Song Shang, let's go meet Mr. Bao."
The Yamen was only one street away from here, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, the two of them had arrived at their destination. Coincidentally, he had seen the two people standing guard a few times, and they were the Danzhugan duo there.
The Dan was short and fat. Lin Xiaofan was sitting in a wheelchair and could only look straight at him. Bamboo pole is actually 1.9 meters tall. If he can gain weight, he will definitely be a good player on the battlefield. It's a pity that according to Song Shang, he can't get fat no matter what he eats.
Two people were standing in front of the door, one on the left and the other on the right. They were dressed like detectives and had standard swords on their waists, giving people the feeling of looking at people through their nostrils.
In this era, many people sometimes ask for help, so their status is quite high.
"The egg bamboo pole!"
Seeing that they didn't recognize them, Song Shang shouted.
When they saw their old colleagues and Lin Xiaofan, who had a good relationship with Bao Bao Bao, the two of them immediately put on smiles and greeted them.
"Oh, look at me. My eyes are no longer functioning at this old age, and I didn't even recognize you two. Brother Lin, are your legs and feet okay?"
Dandan put on a concerned face and asked.
Now in the entire Degao County, everyone knows that Counselor Lin has made great contributions on the front line and his status will skyrocket in the future. If I could establish a good relationship with him, I would not be able to walk sideways in Degao County in the future.
"It's a small injury, it's not a problem. Is Mr. Bao arrested in the Yamen?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
"The leader is here. I'll take you there."
Zhugan had a smooth smile on his face and immediately helped guide the way.
"No need, just go about your business."
Lin Xiaofan waved his hand and said. He still remembers the road, so he won't bother the two brothers too much.
The two of them stepped into the yamen. There was no figure of Bao Bao in the lobby, and then they went straight to Bao Bao's room.
