20. Extortion
The beginning of spring has passed and the rain is approaching. The land of Zhongzhou’s northern country has gradually shown signs of recovery, but the temperature is still very cold.
Lin Xiaoguang's tone of speaking was even colder.
As the mayor, how could Mu Jinfu know how many people covet his position? Therefore, although he was very threatening, he was not afraid. No one had ever attacked the town in history. He did not believe that the tiger's mouth that was high and deep in the city would be broken by hundreds of people.
Speaking of this, there is no need to hide it. He stared at the latter and asked: "Commander Lin, I have said it, the many soldiers you brought today seriously threatens the safety of every people in the town. I will ask you one thing, when will you take your troops out of the city?"
Oh, I couldn't help it. After saying so many beautiful words, I finally found out the picture.
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and then pretended to think deeply: "I want to do business recently. I have so much food. If I am robbed in the city, mayor, are you responsible?"
When Mu Jinfu heard him say this, he thought for a moment and immediately said seriously: "Commander Lin, don't worry, if I am here for one day, this tiger's mouth will be peaceful for a day. There will never be any bandits robbing things in broad daylight, and there will be no snatching you unscrupulously. Even if there is really one day, I will compensate you for all the losses you suffered."
"In addition to food, I also have to set up workshops to organize production, workers, production equipment and goods safety. Are you responsible?"
"Of course, protecting the safety of everyone in the city and their lives and property is the mission of Zhenzhengfu."
"good……"
Lin Xiaoguang smiled. Mayor Mu really tried his best to send him out of the city.
After thinking about it, he said directly: "It's not impossible to ask me to leave the city. I have been looking for a casting workshop and a printing workshop recently, but it has not been done yet. This is because I can't sleep all night and I don't know when I will find it. I'm so anxious."
Mu Jinfu felt a little nervous. Is this the condition for leaving the city? Okay, isn’t it just two workshops? I promise you that you will lose money and eliminate disasters now and settle the score with you later.
"Commander Lin, you are a young talented man with a great reputation. I believe someone will present the workshop with both hands soon."
"What day is it? Which day is it? I am the most impatient." He sighed.
"Probably, maybe, maybe, it's today!"
"Today? Okay." Lin Xiaoguang nodded, looked at him again, and smiled: "I still lack an inn and escort agency. Can Mayor Mu help me think of a solution?"
Is it still not enough for two workshops? I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
Mu Jinfu felt a little angry, but in the end he had to suppress it, take a deep breath, and slowly said: "Commander Lin, although my family does not run an inn and an escort agency, I will find a way. There will definitely be a result before dark."
"Yes." Lin Xiaoguang nodded and began to think again. What else do he lack?
After thinking about it, he finally said, "Mayor Mu, I still lack some..."
"Commander Lin!"
Mu Jinfu finally couldn't help but get angry. Is it over and over again?
Seeing that he was angry, Lin Xiaoguang waved his hand and looked innocent: "Mayor Mu, I haven't finished saying this yet? I mean, I still lack some talents from all aspects, such as money houses, mines, etc. Can you satisfy me, right?"
It turned out to be a talent, Mu Jinfu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although I don't have these at home, I will ask someone to coordinate. Commander Lin is relieved. He promises that no one will miss it and will be delivered to you."
Lin Xiaoguang finally smiled: "That's good."
Speaking of this, the blackmail resulted and he got what he wanted. He was about to leave. He smiled, stood up and looked at the latter, and smiled and said, "When will all of what you said be fulfilled, when will I leave the city? As for now, Mayor Mu, say goodbye and come to visit me again in a while."
Mu Jinfu wanted him, the plague god, to leave quickly, and was too lazy to care about the words that followed, and said directly: "I am sorry for my inadequate hospitality, please forgive me!"
Then, he turned around and looked aside and said, "Afu, take me off."
"Yes, Master."
Lin Xiaoguang curled his mouth and looked at him, saying, "Mayor Mu, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow, see you again!"
After saying that, he walked over, turned over the horse, waved the whip, and walked out. The security team members on both sides immediately followed and all retreated from Mu's mansion when they saw this.
A few minutes later, he returned to the western market and saw that the food was almost sold, so he called Niu Gensheng and Niu Zhan over.
"Gensheng, you are more stable and not arrogant or impatient. In the future, our industry in the city will be temporarily watched. You will lead a team of people, and you don't need to have more. Two shifts are enough. All of them are replaced with plainclothes, long spears and short spears, and stay in the city for us to guard this industry."
These two people performed well during training and were even more decent in war. Over time, they would obey his orders 100%.
Niu Gensheng is 28 years old this year, quite mature and has a dull temperament. He didn't think about this, so he lost more than half of his soldiers. He immediately stated: "Yes."
Lin Xiaoguang looked at Niu Zhan again and said, "Niujia Village is ten kilometers away from Shahukou Town, and the closest Zhoujiazhuang is seven kilometers. It's still too far. I plan to set up an inn and escort agency in Chenjiazhuang, halfway through the official road. The inn is our eyes. In the future, the intelligence bureau and the escort agency are our hands and feet, and the future military station."
"Niu Zhan, you will stay in Chenjiazhuang from now on, and you will also take two squads to protect the inn and the escort agency."
Niu Zhan is a young man this year at 20, but he doesn't give a slight discount to his orders, and he will not object to him. He immediately obeys the order: "Yes, Commander!"
Just after the arrangement was completed, Mu Fu came to the door and said respectfully: "Commander Lin, my master has arranged the workshop here and the inn escort agency there. You can come with me and I will take you there."
"Okay, let's go."
At that moment, Lin Xiaoguang called Niu Gensheng and took his men over to receive them.
The workshops Mu Jinfu found for him were all located in the north of the city, very close to North Street, but the casting and printing workshops were separated, one was on the west side of North Street and the other was on the east side of North Street.
He went west first, and when he arrived at the ground, he saw that it was quite simple.
A row of low and dilapidated houses, civil structures, and rows of shops on the street are placed for sale, swords, shovels, hoes, sickles and other iron tools.
"Commander Lin, this is the layout of the front shop and the back shop. Please follow me." Mu Fu introduced.
He followed in and entered the backyard. After entering, he found that there was another world. About ten people, each performing their own duties, was pouring the red-hot iron into various types of plastic tools.
This group of people is quite focused, deaf ears to people from outside, and do their own things.
Lin Xiaoguang watched quietly on the side of the station. After a while, the craftsman removed the external pattern, and the iron embryo inside appeared, including thicker hoes, thinner sickles, etc., and there were many types.
There were three major casting techniques in ancient times, clay casting, iron casting, and investment casting. It seems that this place is quite mature.
I just don’t know if Yuan Datou or Guangxu Tongbao can be made.
