The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Jia Yucun: "However, Wang Yuetai of Xining County, who guards the northwest, reported to the court that the Mongolian leader Alatambu showed signs of rebellion, and asked the court to send more troops to the northwest."

"Oh,"

Lin Yun was secretly curious in his heart. In this time and space, the main enemy of Da Chu came from the east.

Relatively speaking, Mongolia's power in the northwest is very weak, and it is divided into several tribes. Alatambu is only one of the larger tribes, and the number of capable soldiers is only [-] to [-] cavalry.If he openly rebelled, it would be tantamount to courting death.

Lin Yun raised his hand and stroked his chin, and said, "Alatanbu wants to rebel at this moment. Could it be that there is some force behind him supporting him?"

Jia Yucun smiled and said, "You guessed it right. It was the Raksha Kingdom who secretly supported his rebellion."

Lin Yun frowned and said: "This is not easy to handle. The firearms of the Rakshasa Kingdom are not weaker than our Chu. If the Mongolian cavalry receives a large number of firearms supported by them, it will be difficult to deal with."

Jia Yucun: "The Mongolian cavalry mainly focus on riding and shooting, and they are not good at using firearms. However, you are right. This battle must go all out, and the best policy is to suppress the rebellion quickly."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "Did the court decide who to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion?"

Jia Yucun shook his head and said: "No decision has been made yet. I guess the courtiers are still waiting and watching. They still hope that Prince Yue made a mistake in his judgment and that Alatambu has no intention of rebelling."

Lin Yun was speechless immediately, and pinned his hope on luck. The officials and gentlemen in the court are quite confused.

Jia Yucun stood up and said, "I should go too. You can rest easy and recover from your injuries. Take your time to promote the rickshaw, don't rush it."

"I see."

After Lin Yun sent Jia Yucun away, he came back and found a map of Dachu, and lay on the desk to study the situation in the northwest.

After watching for a while, he understood why the court officials were unwilling to send troops to the northwest. It was because the northwest was too poor. If this war were to be fought, it would be a waste of people and money, and it was not worth it.If the Mongolian cavalry had learned guerrilla warfare, they would be able to drag down the Chu army.

Lin Yun was looking at the map and thinking, when Xiao Mo came in and reported to him: "Third Master, it is said that people from the Sihai Gang are outside the house asking for a meeting."

"Oh, they came quickly enough, please invite them in quickly."

Xiao Mo hurriedly reminded: "Third Master, do you want to make some preparations?"

Lin Yun waved his hands and said, "It's okay, since they dare to come to my residence, it proves that the people from the Four Seas Gang want to negotiate properly."

"Okay, I'll let them in."

Lin Yun put away the map on the desk, stood up and walked towards the door.

Not long after, I saw Fourth Master Zhu leading a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old into the room.

Lin Yun cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, you are welcome to come over as a guest."

Fourth Master Zhu clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, the old man is here to accompany the ceremony today. I was deceived by the villain yesterday and accidentally injured you. Please forgive me."

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Even if the old gang leader doesn't say anything, I can guess a thing or two, so there is no need to mention this matter."

Zhu Siye raised his finger and praised: "Mr. Lin is righteous."

After a pause, he pointed to the woman standing beside him and smiled, "This is the old man's granddaughter, named Pearl. Mr. Lin, my little granddaughter is very good at medicine. The old man brought her here to check your injuries. "

Zhu Zhen bowed to Lin Yun and said, "My family pays homage to Mr. Lin."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Girl, you don't have to be polite."

Pearl raised her hand and said, "Young Master, please sit down, and I'll take your pulse first."

"Uh, okay."

Lin Yun sat down beside the case and stretched out his right arm. Pearl sat down opposite him and raised his hand to press on his veins.

After a while, Pearl stood up and said to Fourth Master Zhu: "Grandpa, Mr. Lin's internal organs have all been damaged, and it will take more than a month of recuperation to recover."

Fourth Master Zhu hurriedly said: "Since it was grandpa who caused the trouble, Zhen'er, please stay and treat Mr. Lin's injuries."

Pearl: "Yes, Grandpa."

Lin Yun said anxiously: "Gang Leader Zhu, your granddaughter is a woman. Isn't it appropriate for her to stay in my house?"

Fourth Master Zhu happily said: "Don't look at Zhen'er as a girl, but her skills are not weaker than any of the masters around you."

"Oh!"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "How is this girl better than my guard Zhong Yi?"

Fourth Master Zhu said with a smile: "The old man just said that Zhen'er is not inferior to anyone around you, naturally including your most powerful guard."

Lin Yun thought: "The old guy is not bragging. Even if this girl started practicing martial arts from her mother's womb, she can't compare to Zhong Yi."

Fourth Master Zhu: "Young master, don't worry, the old man never tells lies."

Lin Yun hurriedly told Xiangling: "Xiangling, you take this pearl girl down to rest, I have something to discuss with old gang leader Zhu."

"Ok."

Chapter 178: Maritime Trade

Sending out all the idlers, Lin Yun invited Fourth Master Zhu to sit down, poured tea for him, and asked him: "Old leader, I wonder if your Four Seas Gang has any helpers in Yuehai?"

Fourth Master Zhu said in surprise: "Yes, yes, but our Sihai Gang mainly focuses on inland docks, and its strength on the Guangdong Sea side is very weak."

Lin Yun asked again: "Does your Four Seas Gang operate maritime trade?"

Fourth Master Zhu shook his head and said: "In the early years, I also led the gang to go to sea for business, but pirates were rampant. The boats of my Sihai Gang were small and poorly equipped. I suffered a lot of losses in the battle with pirates. Later, I died at sea. The idea of ​​making a living.”

Lin Yun sighed after hearing this: "It's a pity, if you, old gang leader, could have persisted at that time, I'm afraid you would have been rich by now."

Fourth Master Zhu said with a chuckle: "It's also possible that the old man died in the sea long ago."

"This is true. Risks and opportunities coexist. If you want to make a fortune, you have to take risks."

Fourth Master Zhu took the tea cup from Lin Yun, took a sip of tea, and then smiled and said, "What do you want to say when you and I are talking about this?"

Lin Yun: "I want to tell you that rickshaws don't actually have much profit. This thing is only in the promotion stage at present, and it is very restricted by the roads. You don't have to spend too much time on it."

Fourth Master Zhu frowned when he heard this, but he did not interrupt Lin Yun's words, but continued to drink tea with his head down.

Lin Yun continued: "I hope that the old gang leader can select capable people from the Sihai Gang and gather them in the Guangdong Sea to set up a branch there to specialize in maritime trade."

Fourth Master Zhu shook his head and said, "My Four Seas Gang has a weak foundation, and there are a large number of gang members who need to be taken care of, but I can't afford to mess around."

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Old leader, what if I support you secretly."

When Mr. Zhu heard this, his eyes narrowed and he said, "How much financial resources does your kid have?"

Lin Yun stretched out three fingers and said, "Can I provide you with 30 taels of start-up capital?"

"How many did you say?"

"30 million taels."

Fourth Master Zhu stood up suddenly, "Where did you get so much money?"

Lin Yun: "Don't worry about it. What you have to consider now is whether you dare to do this kind of business."

Fourth Master Zhu looked at Lin Yun and said with a chuckle, "Don't you worry about me running away with your 30 taels of silver?"

Lin Yun pretended to be relaxed and said: "In my eyes, 30 taels is a number, and I can earn it back at any time. But it is different for you. This is a good opportunity for your Four Seas Gang to rise. If you miss this time, there will be no more money." I'm back."

Fourth Master Zhu: "Boy Yun, if you really can come up with 30 taels of silver, this old man will go all out to accompany you crazy once."

Lin Yun raised his hands and said with a smile: "Then let's make a high-five and make a big money together."

"Okay!" Fourth Master Zhu raised his hand and slapped Lin Yun.

Lin Yun got up and walked into the bedroom, took out a stack of large bank notes and placed it in front of Fourth Master Zhu.

Master Zhu picked up the banknote and glanced at it, then smiled at Lin Yun and said, "Could it be that your kid is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth?"

Lin Yunle said: "If I were the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, I wouldn't have to work so hard to make money."

Master Zhu restrained his smile and said, "Now we have the money, but our Four Seas Gang still lacks talents in maritime trade."

Lin Yun said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, I will help you find talents. What you need to do now is to recruit people and go to Guangdong Hai as soon as possible to open a perfume shop for me there."

Zhu Siye's eyes lit up when he heard the words. Lin Yun had a copy of Wanli's perfume in his hand. He had already found out about this, and he really wanted to get involved. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he naturally hoped that he could make the trip sooner.

He clasped his fists at Lin Yun and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the old man will take people to Guangdong Sea personally and set up the sub-rudder over there."

Lin Yun: "Old leader, I need your help to build a batch of sea ships. Can you do this?"

Fourth Master Zhu happily said: "As long as you have money, let alone sea-going ships, even cannons and firecrackers, I can help you."

Lin Yunxi said: "The junior is waiting for your good news."

Master Zhu put the banknote into his arms, cupped his fists at Lin Yun and said, "Mr. Lin, I will take my leave first."

Lin Yun nodded, got up and sent Fourth Master Zhu to the door.

When he was about to go out, Fourth Master Zhu turned his head to Lin Yun and asked, "Mr. Lin, does this man, Du Ruo, know you very well?"

Lin Yun said inexplicably: "What the hell is sad? I've never heard of it."

"Oh!"

Fourth Master Zhu took a few glances at Lin Yun, seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, he waved his hands and said, "Young Master, stay here, the old man will go first."

...

After sending Mr. Zhu away, Lin Yun came to the garden and saw Xiang Ling, Pearl, and Miss Liu sitting in front of the flower garden chatting.

Lin Yun walked over and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

When the three women saw Lin Yun coming, they stood up and saluted him.

Xiangling: "Third Master, we are listening to Miss Pearl talk about what happened to her when she broke into the rivers and lakes."

Lin Yun asked curiously: "Miss Pearl, who did you learn your medical skills from?"

Pearl hurriedly said: "I learned it from my grandfather. My grandfather studied medicine since he was a child, but later he was busy with the affairs of the gang, so he didn't treat people's diseases very much."

After a pause, Pearl said again: "Mr. Lin, is my grandfather gone?"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "The old gang leader just left. He asked me to take good care of you. If you need anything in the future, just tell Miss Liu."

Miss Liu said to Lin Yun: "Sir, why don't you let Miss Pearl live with me?"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you."

Miss Liu smiled and said: "It's not troublesome. I'd love to have someone to accompany me to relieve my boredom."
