Chapter 219 Trouble is coming
"I want to run a private school, but I can't even support my family."
Seeing Lin Feng in deep thought, Xie Yunling continued to explain his point of view.
"Since ancient times, merchants have been inferior to others. Farming is the foundation of the people and the livelihood that the common people should have. Speculation, buying low and selling high, and harming the people are not what decent people do. They only make money with a black heart..."
Look at Xie Yunling spitting non-stop.
Lin Feng had no choice but to wave his hand to stop him.
"Well, Mr. Xie, how about you stay in Lingdouzi Castle and help Li Xiong with the logistics?"
Xie Yunling glared, "General Lin, I'm a legitimate Jinshi, a seventh-rank official. How can I be in charge of the logistics of a castle?"
Lin Feng had no choice but to continue recommending.
"Then how about you help Manager Bai and take charge of school education?"
"Ah? General Lin wants me to be a private school teacher?"
"Yes, it's the principal."
"How can this be done? It's against the laws of the clan."
Lin Feng frowned and said, "Why don't you go to Qingshui and be a chief clerk, which is also a seventh-rank position."
"General Lin, I came to Qingshui to serve as the county magistrate under the orders of General Su. Do you intend to disobey?"
Lin Feng said lightly.
"Your way of governing is completely opposite to mine. How can you be a county magistrate?"
Xie Yunling blushed and said loudly.
"I am a Jinshi from the Great Sect. I uphold the laws of the Great Sect and serve as an orthodox official of the Great Sect. Is my way of governing different from yours, Lin Feng? That is you, Lin Feng, who is in conflict with the laws of the Great Sect."
Lin Feng talked to him for a long time, and seeing that he was getting more and more excited, his words gradually lost their respect.
Waving his hand, he said, "Let me put it this way. I think County Magistrate Cao is more suitable for the development of Qingshui than you."
Xie Yunling waved his hand and said, "I don't care whether you are suitable or not. The imperial court's order cannot be disobeyed. If you continue to refuse, I will impeach you."
Lin Feng also became impatient and chatted nonsense with a scholar for a long time, wasting his time.
"Okay, okay, go ahead and be the magistrate of Qingshui."
Xie Yunling looked at Lin Feng in confusion.
"So, can I go?"
"Leave quickly."
Lin Feng waved his hand to let Xie Yunling go out as if he was chasing away a fly.
After Xie Yunling went out, he frowned and wondered how to get to Qingshui County.
He had to discuss this with two other officials, who were also appointed by the Protectorate: the county lieutenant and the chief clerk.
In Qingshui County, after Li Donglai left, he handed over the military power to one of his subordinates, Zhu Jie.
Lin Feng instructed Bai Jing to ask Zhu Jie to maintain public order in Qingshui County.
Everything is running according to the existing order. Except for the military, all other matters are under the jurisdiction of County Magistrate Cao Deyun.
He had done his homework in advance. Even if Xie Yunling and others went to Qingshui County, no one would probably listen to them.
Since you don't take Lin Feng seriously, then just deal with it yourself.
He's just a scholar, how big a wave can he make?
Sun Yang brought his guards back to the border town and immediately went to see General Qin Zhong.
The two sat opposite each other in silence for a while.
Sun Yang had an impatient temper and would have started yelling if he hadn't been in front of the general.
This time, he held it in for a long time before suppressing the anger in his heart and speaking slowly.
"General, why are you sending me back when a great war is about to begin?"
Qin Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "General Sun, you must understand it in your heart, why are you asking?"
"I just don't understand. How can the imperial court be at peace if the Tartars are not eliminated and allowed to plunder vast tracts of land?"
"Alas, the court is in a state of political strife. Who would care so much? If they can't even figure out whose kingdom is theirs, what's the point of saying anything else?"
Sun Yang moved closer: "Why, does this matter involve the emperor?"
Qin Zhong shook his head: "Not really, but it's not far away."
"What did Lin Feng do wrong?"
"He beat up Lao Du, have you forgotten?"
Sun Yang said with a sigh, "Indeed, this Lao Du has a powerful background, how could he swallow this?"
"I understand. Go and have a rest."
"But, can't the general resist a little? Just let them bully Lin Feng?"
Qin Zhong glanced at him and said, "What kind of brain do you have, kid?"
Sun Yang was stunned, and suddenly figured out the key.
If the general gave a death order and asked him to take his men back to the border town, he would not dare to leave so many troops to Lin Feng.
He chuckled and said, "The general is wise, and I am stupid."
After saying this, he bowed and turned away.
Qin Zhong picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly.
Mu Wu came out from the back hall.
"The general's move was brilliant, leaving Du Lisheng speechless. However, the situation from now on..."
"Haha, I've left so many troops for Lin Feng. He can even stand up to the Tartars and the border troops. How things will develop in the future depends on the skills of this kid."
"Why did General Su change his tune?"
"I'm afraid he's under a lot of pressure. After all, he's on the emperor's side... hehe."
"That's right, no one takes our border seriously."
I think of the mess that the government and the opposition are in.
The two of them lost interest and had no desire to talk anymore.
Lin Feng is still nominally the commander-in-chief of the Dazong Zhenxifu Army, but he has more than 13,000 troops under his command.
Now that the Tartars have retreated, he has not yet come up with a good way to counterattack.
Therefore, Lin Feng divided these troops into various teams.
Let them intensify their training in preparation for a major counterattack in the future.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Feng suddenly thought of Su Dutong in the provincial capital.
Looking at Bai Jing who was eating, he asked seriously.
"Did you accept the engagement letter sent by Chen Tongpan?"
Bai Jing was stunned and looked up at Lin Feng.
"Well, at that time, Master Chen insisted that I stay, and I couldn't refuse, so I stayed."
"I asked you to deal with him, and this is how you dealt with him?"
"Brother, it's just a gift, it's not a big deal."
Lin Feng laughed angrily: "Hey, it's not a big deal? The niece of the governor of the prefectural city, is it a big deal? If I refuse, won't I offend people?"
Seeing that Lin Feng was really angry.
"Brother, it's time for you to think about your marriage."
"Don't you have it? Besides, you know Chu Jiao, right? She's just considering marriage. You want me to consider her?"
Tears suddenly flowed from Bai Jing's beautiful big eyes.
Lin Feng was stunned: "What's wrong? I can't even say a few words now..."
Bai Jing shook her head vigorously, tears splashing everywhere.
"Brother, I know you love me, but I can only be your slave in this life, not your wife."
"What do you mean?"
Lin Feng raised his hand to pick up the wine glass and drank it all.
"My body is not clean, I will be laughed at."
"Tsk, how can I, the emperor, care about them when I don't care about them?"
"No, I can't get over this hurdle on my own. I will stay with you for the rest of my life, but I won't marry you."
Bai Jing's expression was very determined, even resolute.
Lin Feng stared at her face blankly, and after a while he shook his head and sighed.
"Oh, forget it, let's talk about this later, let's eat."
The two ate in silence.
A soldier walked quickly towards the door and reported through it.
"General, there are 300 soldiers of the imperial army outside the city, requesting to enter the city."
"The government troops? Who's leading them?"
"He calls himself Su Yun."
Lin Feng glanced at Bai Jing.
"Look, here comes the trouble."
