Lord Moyu was forced to open

"The boat is coming! The boat is coming! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Not long after noon, the originally quiet Bian River suddenly burst into shouts from officials, and people by the river were driven away one by one.Huge ships slowly approached from the upper reaches, and finally stopped beside the embankment of the Bian River.

A simple port was built next to the embankment when it was built last year, so this time the boat will just stop at the original port.

The boat at the beginning was nearly 26 feet long. If it was in Zhao Jun's previous life, it would have been 86 meters long and nearly [-] meters long!
The official ship slowly stopped at the simple port, and the large deck was lowered from the bed, firmly connecting the ship to the shore, so that people on or off the ship could get on and off the ship.

Zhou Lin had been waiting here a long time ago, and as soon as the boat stopped, several people who looked like eunuchs got off the boat.

Dressed in the official mansion of the Imperial City Division, the gray-haired old eunuch in the lead had a smile on his face when he saw Zhou Lin, and he came over with his orchid fingers raised.

"Yo! Zhou Shilang actually came to greet him in person, our family is really honored!"

It was obvious that Zhou Lin wasn't very used to that pretentious appearance, but he still squeezed out a smile and cupped his hands and said, "Zhou Lin has met the prince!"

"Hey, what is your name, Prince, Zhou Shilang can just call me Xiaohezi. You are His Majesty's current celebrity, and our family can't afford it." Eunuch Wang He said with a smile.

Zhou Lin smiled wryly and shook his head: "Eunuch Wang is just joking. He is doing things for His Majesty. There is no such thing as popular or unpopular. The journey is tiring. I am afraid that Eunuch Wang is tired. I have already made arrangements. Eunuch Wang should go and have a rest!"

However, Wang He smiled and shook his head and said: "You also said, Zhou Shilang, that you are all doing things for His Majesty, so why not be tired, but our family is indeed too tired all the way, so let's take a rest after handing over to Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Lin nodded: "That's it, please let the prince do his own thing."

"It's okay, it's okay!"

The two casually exchanged a few words and started handing over. The eunuch Wang He took out the handing over form, took Zhou Lin on the boat together, and began to count the supplies.

It starts with food and silver, and ends with various tools.

Sure enough, as Zhou Lin expected, almost all of these supplies were reduced by [-]%. Looking at the smiling Wang He, Zhou Lin was silent for a moment, then took the handover list and signed his name.

When Wang He saw Zhou Lin signed, a brighter smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and patted Zhou Lin's shoulder and said:
"Zhou Shilang, don't blame me. When I took over, there were few things. The grain, gold and silver came from the household department.

Are those tools provided by the Ministry of Industry?
No matter what it is, it will no longer be what it used to be when it is in our hands.

So even if our family wants to send you a complete one, there is no way.

Now we don't need to talk about the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty, you know it too, please forgive me.

Zhou Lin nodded silently, how could he not know, the atmosphere in the court has not been a day or two, and he has already accepted it, otherwise he would not have signed the material handover list just now.

Seeing that he understood, Wang He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Although these substances were not picked by himself, they were handed over to Zhou Lin by his own hands after all. If Zhou Lin refused to accept it and brought this matter up, he would be the first to suffer.

Therefore, he still attached great importance to Zhou Lin's reaction, and he was heaving a sigh of relief when he disembarked. Fortunately, the final result was good.

Zhou Shilang accepted the shipment and signed his name, so he can go back and report to His Majesty without any pressure.

As for the others, it has nothing to do with me if it doesn't involve me.

Letting go of the big stone in his heart, Wang He can finally go to rest with peace of mind. To be honest, he was not tired just now, but it was just a matter of occasion. Now that the handover is clear, a sense of exhaustion surged into his heart instantly, and he yawned and left early.

As soon as the handover here was over, the miners and captives had already been arranged to unload. The division of labor for nearly 20 people was clear, and the first large ship with [-] materials was quickly unloaded.

The first ship was a grain ship, and all the unloaded food was full of food. The captives knew that this was probably the next food for themselves and others. They carefully unloaded it one by one to avoid falling to the ground. This was their ration!

A total of twenty ships were loaded with food and other things. Fortunately, there were so many people, it took less than two hours to unload them here.

Immediately afterwards, ships loaded with other supplies entered the port. This batch was all tools, such as hoes, picks, shovels, pick baskets, and other tools.

It was another hour, and everyone got their tools.

Those with tools moved faster. More than half of the remaining forty ships had been unloaded before the sun went down, and the rest decided to unload tomorrow due to the darkness.

Since the work was done today and the food was still brought in, the Huotou army in the army directly missed a hand.

In the evening, there was a large bowl full of gnocchi and a bowl of hot broth. Although there were only two thumb-sized meat slices in each bowl, the captives were still amazed and they all wished they could eat the whole bowl!

That's meat!
Everyone threatened to work for another two hours?

then……

They were forced to work overtime for another hour.

Hahaha, although Zhou Lin's surname is Zhou, he is not a skinny Zhou. It's just that the ships coming here can't stay for too long. Most of them are official ships delivering grain to Bianjing. The daily tasks are heavy and they can't stay here for a long time.

So after the final communication, Zhou Lin decided to ask the big guy to work overtime to unload everything first.

After the addition of these two hours, no one received two white flour steamed buns for supper, but the big guys didn't bother to eat them and stuffed them into their arms, so they hurried back to their tents to rest.

This time, no one dared to clamor for another two hours.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and after breakfast the next morning, the embankment repair officially began.

After the solemn sacrifice and deliberation, the construction began.

At this time, as long as you are doing a big project, if there is no sacrifice, those workers will not be willing to help you, thinking that you are disrespecting the gods, and doing things for you is prone to accidents.

As a result, the necessary sacrificial ceremonies before the start of all large-scale projects have become a practice.

The tools have been distributed as early as yesterday, and all the procedures have been arranged. After the sacrifice, everyone followed the leader's guidance to their positions and started repairing the embankment. Everything seemed to be on the right track.

Looking at the busy embankment, Zhou Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After going through so many things, it's finally a special start. It's not easy!
However, Li Dingguo thinks that things are not that simple.

Turning around, he called a person, gave a few instructions in a low voice, and the person nodded and took the note from Li Dingguo and left.

Soon, a sea dongqing in the barracks jumped into the sky and flew away from the barracks.

Heyue Mansion, the headquarters of Feiyun Commercial Bank Heyue Branch.

He Feng, the big shopkeeper in charge of all the business affairs of Feiyun Commercial Bank here, suddenly received a report from a man that there was news, and immediately asked the man to loosen things.

Soon the note that just came from the barracks was in He Feng's hands. When he opened the note in his hand, He Feng's eyes narrowed instantly, and he immediately ordered:

"Notify Huangshan Mansion to expand the area of ​​the commercial firm by ten times, and the plan is almost ready to be implemented, so let them act quickly. If there is a delay, let them go to Yunzhou County to find the prince to atone for their sins!"

"Little understand!"

The clerk nodded in response and quickly backed out, and started sending news to the branch in Huangshan Mansion.

Soon the news from the sub-branch reached Huangshan Mansion.

On one of the busiest streets in Huangshan Mansion, the Feiyun Commercial Bank shop that was almost completed was suddenly shut down, and then suddenly there was news that the Feiyun Commercial Bank had bought the land for dozens of shops around it, and then the current construction plan of the commercial bank was revised and expanded by more than ten times.

The outside of the construction site was firmly blocked by the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce with curtains. Outsiders couldn't see what was going on inside, but they only knew that there were a lot of people recruited to do the work. There were constant ding ding dong dong sounds every day, obviously they were rushing to work.

At the same time, quietly, all kinds of materials are coming to Huangshan Mansion through various channels of Feiyun Commercial Bank. The complete types of materials and the huge quantity are simply astonishing!
And at this moment, news of Zhou Lin's start of construction finally reached the Zhao family in Heyue Mansion.

Crackling!

Amidst the sound of broken porcelain, Zhao Ansheng's voice suppressed his anger: "Where did they come from, isn't anyone going to work for them?
What kind of person is so hard-headed that he is not afraid of revenge from my Zhao family? "

The official Zhao Yi knelt on the ground beside him trembling, and hurriedly replied after hearing the words: "Go home, those mud-legged people from Bian'an County don't have the guts, it is said that Zhou Lin was looking for people from Daxing County next door.

It happened that there was a rebellion in Daxing County, and the Pingwa army went there and immediately arrested all the 20 miners who rebelled and came back to repair the embankment.Now they are not short of manpower at all! "

"Daxing County! Ping the Japanese army!"

Zhao Ansheng gritted his teeth and read these words, and said coldly for a while, "Do they think they can pass my Zhao family by doing this?
Hehe, I will let them know who is the genius in Bian'an County!
Zhao Yi, you arrange it immediately. Didn’t they capture 20 rebel miners from Daxing County, and let the Huangshan government organize the people to obstruct their construction for me in the name of driving out the unstable miners!
Remember, it must be done by the common people!

I want to see, faced with this situation, how does our Minister Zhou plan to deal with it?

It is impossible to persuade him to move. If he dares to send troops to suppress it, it will be interesting! "

Zhao Yi immediately echoed from the side: "The head of the family is wise! Since then, Zhou Lin must have a headache to die of, and the embankment can't be repaired if we don't do it, we will immediately ask the officials of the whole Bian'an County to write a letter to him to kill the people indiscriminately!

Let's see what he does! "

The master and servant looked at each other, and then showed almost the same smile.
