Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 75 Isn't this a pure innocence?
The people from the Straw Sandal Gang quickly found Xia Lin. At that moment, Xia Lin was squatting beside the furnace in the glass factory, watching the color of the glass. It seemed that the first batch of glass was about to come out.

"Boss! There's a spy!"

"What? Spy?" Xia Lin stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

"An old fool is asking around at the dock. We have detained him and are waiting for the boss to come over and deal with him."

Xia Lin rolled up his sleeves and said, "Damn it, you dare to ask about my business? I'll sink him into the river. Let's go!"

Soon, Xia Lin and his men arrived at the dock in a threatening manner. As soon as they arrived at the dock, the manager of the Straw Sandal Gang came up to them and said, "Boss, we have locked that old guy up in the woodshed."

As he spoke, he handed Xia Lin a stick: "Use this. I wrapped a piece of cotton cloth around it. Beat him to death. You won't see any flesh wounds, but there must be internal injuries."

"Okay, okay!" Xia Lin picked up the stick and walked towards the woodshed.

At this moment, the prince was pacing in the woodshed with his hands behind his back. Xiao Cui beside him was looking outside nervously and said softly, "Don't be afraid, sir. When the township governor comes, I will say something nice to him."

"Humph!"

The prince's face turned purple with anger at the moment. He just snorted coldly when he heard the words. He had been a prince all his life, but he had never suffered such humiliation. He was now full of anger and had no place to vent it. He was just waiting for Xia Lin to come so that he could slap him to the ground.

The door of the woodshed was kicked open, and Xia Lin walked in ferociously, but the prince had already turned around.

I am not afraid of the air suddenly becoming quiet, I am most afraid that Lao Deng will turn around and turn out to be an acquaintance.

Xia Lin only knew two Lao Dengs in this world. There might be many in the future, but there were only two now. A frontier official and the chief of the Jiangnan Camp, and a feudal prince and local emperor.

Well, it just so happened that the person imprisoned in the woodshed was the local tyrant.

The stick in Xia Lin's hand fell to the ground with a clang. He looked down and cursed in his heart: "This is a fucking steel stick."

Just as he was racking his brains to think of a way to explain to the prince, a jerk came running over excitedly, holding a long rope in his hand: "Boss, we'll tie him up with this rope and throw him into the river!"

"Get out!!!" Xia Lin roared loudly: "Get out of here!"

Faced with Xia Lin's shouting, the Straw Sandal Gang members had no idea what was going on. They just thought something might happen, so they all ran away with their brows lowered. Xia Lin was left alone standing in the woodshed facing the prince.

"My Lord...Good morning."

"Good." The prince nodded: "Very good. I wonder where Master Xia is going to throw me?"

Looking at the prince's dark and livid face, Xia Lin kept talking for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on. It wasn't that she was afraid of the prince, it was just... it was just... it was that thing, respect the old and love the young, right, right, respect the old and love the young...

"Your Highness, please come this way...it's all a misunderstanding...a misunderstanding..."

The prince walked out, brushing his sleeves past Xia Lin. Xia Lin followed him and glanced at Xiao Cui in the woodshed. Then his head swayed. Xiao Cui, who was still immersed in the shock of Lao Deng, whom she had served for ten days, immediately reacted. She quickly walked to the side of the prince and whispered, "Master, don't be angry. In my opinion, this is just a misunderstanding. It's not worth getting sick over this."

"Humph, a village chief is not as sensible as a woman like you."

The prince looked back at Xia Lin, who had already become fawning at this moment. He bent his waist and laughed as he led the way: "Prince, please come this way... I'd like to ask you to have a cup of tea to calm down."

After several attempts, Xia Lin finally tricked the prince into the teahouse in Dou Fu Nong. As soon as he entered, he shouted to the shopkeeper, "Hurry up, bring the best tea. Go to Sun Sanniang and get some snacks for me. They have to be newly made and hot." Xia Lin was not stupid. Even if he did not care about the prince's status, he still cared about money. The start-up capital for this place was given by Lao Deng. Without the 100,000 taels from him, it would take at least two to three years or even three to five years for this place to develop to its current scale. Don't even think about making a profit. Without investing money, don't expect to make much money.

This gold medal angel investor must be served well, right?

The prince came to the private room on the second floor and sat down. Xia Lin poured tea and served snacks beside him, serving the prince as if he were his own father-in-law.

The tea was ordered. After all, this place was now the top tea market in the entire Wei Dynasty, or even in the world. All the good teas from Huangshan Qimen, Fuliang Yaoli, and Lushan Xingzi were gathered here, so the taste was naturally excellent.

The snacks are also of the best quality. Because they contain sugar, they have a rich and delicious taste. After drinking tea and eating sugar, people will naturally feel more cheerful.

But the prince still ignored Xia Lin and chatted with Xiao Cui on his own, showing his attitude. If it were someone else, Xia Lin would have made him suffer a fate worse than death, but he couldn't say anything to the old man in front of him... He really couldn't say anything.

After standing for about half an hour, Xia Lin's legs became numb. The prince then slowly spoke, "I gave you the 100,000 taels, and you turned this place into this?"

Damn, is this PUA? Are you a PUA, old man?
What do you mean by "just like this"? You are a prince after all, can't you go out and take a look? I heard that the royal family in the capital spent 170,000 taels to build a garden. They spent more than 200,000 taels and haven't even built a house yet. They only laid the foundation. Those who know it are gardens, but those who don't know it would think it is a cemetery.

Although our place cannot be said to be very good, at least we have built you a real small town, with prosperous business and dense flow of people. In time, this will be the economic core area of ​​the central region and the center of the Ganpo urban agglomeration. And you say here, "It has become like this." Are you looking for trouble?
Xia Lin was cursing in his heart, but one thing was true, this old man was just looking for trouble. Anyway, he was angry in his heart. Everyone knew that the prince's most favored youngest daughter had such an unspeakable relationship with this kid. The prince was angry but didn't dare to vent it on his daughter, so he took it out on Xia Lin.

"Your Majesty, this place is indeed not good. Alas... there is nothing I can do. My ability is limited. I was planning to resign after this year and go home to farm. After all, I am not cut out to govern a place, so I don't plan to continue to work. I want to live a stable life raising a few pigs and building a few tiled houses and spend the rest of my life there."

This sentence made the prince spit out the tea in his mouth. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that this little bastard would actually take advantage of the situation.

Logically speaking, although the prince was looking for trouble, he still recognized Xia Lin's ability to govern. If someone else took over this place, even adding another one million taels, let alone 100,000 taels, would not have had the same effect. What's more important is that the 100,000 taels had already started to make a profit since last year, which is quite remarkable. The principal and interest were earned back in one year, and judging from the current situation, the surplus this year will probably be even greater.

If he really wanted to force him to resign and retire, the first person who would fight him to death would be Lao Guo. Lao Guo had never asked for anything in his life, but only cared about face. Xia Lin had earned him enough face during the grand court meeting last year, and he wanted to earn more face this year. If this path was blocked for him, he would be so depressed and drink a little that he might burn down the palace at night.

That grandson...is not an easy person to deal with.

"You don't have to resign, but you should be humble and calm, and think of ways to improve your political achievements this year."

Xia Lin kept saying yes, but he was laughing in his heart. What political achievements? The prince was pretending to be ignorant. If there is a second place in the Wei territory that can be compared with Xinping, let alone a township, even a county will do. If we have to compare it with the prefectures of Guangzhou and Hangzhou, it would be a bit bullying. Why not compare per capita?

At the same time, a passenger ship stopped at the dock and two people got off. The two people had very different physiques. One was over 1.9 meters tall, with a strong body and eyes like an eagle, and the other was about 1.5 meters tall, petite and delicate. Although she was wearing men's clothes, you could tell at first glance that she was the pretty girl.

After they got off the boat, they headed straight for the township government office without stopping for a moment. After a while, the short girl rushed in: "Here I come!"

But soon after the shout, it was Chun Tao who came out. She took one look at the person and laughed, "Little Princess, why are you here?"

"Where's that thief? I'm here to settle accounts with him. He said he would come to see me every two months, but it's been so long!" The little princess said angrily, with her hands on her hips, "I'm here to ask for an explanation."

Chun Tao looked bewildered at the moment: "The master is out on business."

"It's okay. The monk may escape but the temple cannot. I'll take my brother out for some fun and have some delicious food. I'll come and deal with him in the evening!"

The little princess left with her second brother angrily. At this moment, Chuntao had not realized how serious the problem was. She just smiled and watched the silly little princess jump and skip away from her sight.
