When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

Fang Tianlin unfolded the letter paper, read it quickly, and when he finished reading all the short content, the corners of his mouth were already slightly curved unconsciously.

The matter is settled, and it will be much safer to enter and leave Linshan County in the future. If the officers and soldiers go there to sweep one or two from time to time, I am afraid that there will be no room for bandits and bandits at the junction of the three counties.

Not long after the message was sent back, Captain Wang and his party returned triumphantly. First, they were warmly welcomed by the people of Linshan County, and then returned to Huanggu, going through this process again.

Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe also held a celebration banquet for them. The guards who participated in the suppression of the bandits were not to mention how beautiful they were. The people left behind were envious. After that, they all trained harder than before. I hope there will be similar missions next time , they can be selected.

As the person in charge of this operation, Captain Wang explained the most important aspects of the mission process as soon as he returned to the valley.

Fang Tianlin nodded frequently after hearing this, and only lost one incendiary bomb remade from the flaming arrow paint that Shen Zhang accidentally obtained, in exchange for the largest group of bandits being successfully recruited, the price is worth it.

The matter of suppressing the bandits has come to an end. As for how to deal with the recruited bandits, this is something that Mozhi County needs to worry about, and it has nothing to do with the Shen family. As long as they are honest and don't engage in looting activities, Fang Tianlin won't bother to care about it. kind of idle business.

As time passed, the soap factory and the sugar factory were the first to be completed. This time, not only the factory buildings, but also the production equipment were all in place.Of course, they are all simple appliances, which are incomparable with modern industry.

Although both are limited by raw materials, no matter how large the production scale is, the soap factory still has enough raw materials in the short term, and the sugar factory is not. At present, only two production workshops have been opened, and the rest are temporarily sealed up. We have to wait until this year. In autumn and winter, sugar can be processed at full capacity.Even so, after seeing the snow-white sucrose products, all the merchants who invested in the sugar factory were all beaming with joy.

These two indigenous methods are not difficult to make, but the others are not so simple, especially canned food.It is very troublesome to make the cans and bottles themselves, and they need to be packaged. This technically requires more and is more difficult. It may take some time before the project is put into production.

Seeing the beautifully packaged soaps with various fragrances and the continuous production of white cane sugar like works of art, the merchants who have not seen the finished products can be envious.Businessmen, they are all pragmatic, and what they want is to seize what is in front of them. The problem is that this is a decision made by each company after discussion, and it is too late to regret it now.

Seeing this situation, Fang Tianlin shook his head, but didn't say anything.This is human nature. Others have seen new products, but they have not even seen the shadows. It is normal for their minds to waver.

"Master Shen, when will the Xinghuo Village be built?" The owners of the soap factory and the sugar factory were a little anxious. If Xinghuo Village was not completed for a day, the items produced in the workshop could not be sold out for a day.

If you delay for one day, you will lose one day of money. This is a waste of money. Their net worth is relatively rich in Linshan County, but it is not eye-catching outside. Who doesn't want to live a life of gold and jade?Now that they finally have such a profitable business, which one of them doesn't want to settle down as soon as possible?

It's just that these people also knew that if the Shen family hadn't taken the majority of the workshop, how could it be possible to start construction before Xinghuo Village was completed?It was difficult for them to open their mouths about things that made progress, and they urged the Shen family to speed up the construction progress, which became the short-term goal of everyone.

"Master Shen, why don't I send some people over to help? It's free, no money, just take care of food."

Shen Jiahai naturally wanted what he wanted, and the two hit it off immediately.The other merchants who cooperated with the Shen family met, and after discussing, they also allocated part of the manpower to the Shen family.

With the addition of a new wave of fresh troops, the construction speed of Xinghuo Village has been greatly improved, and the first phase of the project has finally been completed before the summer harvest.

At this time, in various workshops, even the canneries with high technical requirements have been put into production, and cans of seasonal food are piled up in the warehouse, making the beards and eyebrows of the masters fly with joy.

Although canned food has some minor shortcomings, it was a rarity before it became popular. Even the owners of the canning factory were very impressed and bought some at internal prices.As for the others, I'm sorry, now all kinds of canned food are not sold outside, if you want to eat it, you have to ask the owner of the canning factory to ask for it, and there is no other way.

As the biggest owner of the canning workshop, the Shen family couldn't miss such a good opportunity. Fang Tianlin directly used up all the Shen family's share for the month, bought a bunch of canned food and shipped it to Huanggu, including fruits, vegetables, fish and meat.

The cannery can be said to be the largest of all the workshops. It has a wide variety of canned foods, including almost all kinds of food. There are countless varieties of canned fruits, even if there are local seasonal fruits.With such a big business, there are naturally many owners, each of which is currently responsible for one or two things for the time being, and will adjust when it expands in the future.

On the day of the inauguration ceremony of Xinghuo Village, almost all famous people from Linshan County came.Fortunately, Xinghuo Village is not an ordinary village, it was built like a town from the beginning, otherwise there might be no place to house these people.

Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe sat in the middle of the high platform, with the Shen family on the right and local officials and gentry on the left.Although Mozhi County does not have a strong voice in Linshan County, he is naturally the first in the ranking at this time, so he has an official name, and the rules on the surface must be followed, right?

Although the others were a little upset, they had no objections.Everyone knows what the actual situation is, and letting Mozhi County take the lead will not have much impact on them.

Shen Jiahe couldn't help feeling a little dizzy looking at the dense crowd of people sitting or standing under the stage.It's not like he hasn't seen this kind of scene before. Every few days in Huanggu, the villagers will be given ideological education, but those are all servants or hired workers of the Shen family, so they won't make him feel nervous at all.This time was different. Except for the left-behind people, all the landowners and squires in Linshan County, officials and officials, all came. How could there be no pressure to speak in front of so many people who were comparable to the Shen family?

Fang Tianlin gave his daughter-in-law a comforting look, it's no big deal, just treat them like ordinary villagers.

Shen Jiahe took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down. He is not someone who has never seen big scenes. He has lived in Yunzhou City for so long, and he has seen bigger scenes than this, but he was not the host at that time. , Now I just changed my position, it's no big deal!Comforting himself in this way, and with Fang Tianlin by his side, when Shen Jiahe looked at the audience again, he felt quite different from before.

Fang Tianlin listened attentively to Shen Jiahe's congratulatory speech and his vision for the future, with a smile slowly blooming in his eyes.His daughter-in-law is no longer the same as when she was in Guangyan Village. At that time, she was taciturn, and greeted people with a smile all day long when she went out. When she met a yamen servant, she was nervous and at a loss. She was an authentic peasant family.Now, my temperament is much more cheerful, and I have become more and more confident. When I am unhappy, I will show it, and I no longer smile when I meet people because of my slow reaction.

"Ok?"

"It's your turn to speak." Shen Jiahe quietly tugged Xia Tianlin's clothes, reminding him that he should not lose his composure in this situation.

After Fang Tianlin came back to his senses, he also felt that it was really inappropriate to be distracted at this time, but he was thick-skinned and didn't take it seriously at all, and started to talk about the part he was in charge of according to the process as if nothing had happened.

Just as the ceremony was about to end, guards came to report, and a group of soldiers came from outside the village, calling for the two masters of the Shen family and presenting tokens.

Fang Tianlin signaled for the continuation of the ceremony. He took a look at the token and understood what was going on. After talking to Shen Jiahe, he left the scene and went outside the village.

As soon as he left the village gate, Fang Tianlin saw the soldiers temporarily camped outside the south gate of Xinghuo Village. He knew the leader very well.

"General Guan, the business route has been opened up, just send someone to inform you, why did you come here in person?"

"Master Fang, it's not convenient to talk here..."

Hearing this, Fang Tianlin's heart trembled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the man in front of him carefully, and then his eyes swept over the many soldiers beside him. Seeing this, the good mood he had recently dissipated quite a bit in an instant: "General Guan, Please. Do your subordinates want to go to the village to take a rest? There are quite a few vacant houses inside where they can be accommodated."

"No need, just arrange a suitable place outside the village."

After Fang Tianlin thought about it, he understood that if it was not necessary, soldiers could not enter the village, so he called guards and arranged the group of soldiers to a secluded place.Stationing at the entrance of the village is not enough, Xinghuo Village has a lot of people coming and going, regular soldiers appear here, they will inevitably be surrounded by people, presumably no soldier is willing to endure this.

These are the soldiers guarding the frontier, completely different from the local troops, and it is a little less troublesome.

When Fang Tianlin returned to the village, the inauguration ceremony of Xinghuo Village was over, and the luncheon was next.Since he didn't know the situation outside, Fang Tianlin didn't introduce General Guan to the local gentry in Linshan County, and walked around the central square to his home in Xinghuo Village.

"General Guan, it can be said that the sound insulation effect of this study is very good, and we cannot be heard outside." Fang Tianlin suppressed his smile and said solemnly.

"Master Fang, the task you entrusted to General Su has been completed. The road from Linshan County to Yanzhou Port has been cleaned up, and there are still people patrolling along the way. It's just..."

"Are you in trouble?" Fang Tianlin asked in a deep voice.

"There is no problem with the business, at least for now. The imperial court's control over the region has weakened. The rebellion in the central and northwest has not been completely suppressed. Now the situation is getting worse and it has affected the surrounding area. Fleets are also frequently attacked at sea. The situation is not good either. There are frequent incidents of disturbing the border. There was a medium-scale battle at Zhenning Pass. The border pass was not broken, and the people in the southwest can still be safe, but this does not mean that there are no hidden dangers. If there is a small group of enemy soldiers around Passing through Zhenning Pass and entering the country, burning, killing and looting is really difficult."

Fang Tianlin silently said that in war, the people always suffer, and there is nothing he can do about it.
