Chapter 27 Toast And Not Eat Fine Wine! Lin Shuhao’S Scheming!
“My God, the master has bought so many building materials, I think it can’t be used up just to build the palace.” Lin Hao asked Lin Zhennan who greeted him at Port Edmond yesterday.
Thanks to Lin Feng’s advance arrangement, more than 20 old men brought more than 100 people, and Lin Hao alone would not have been able to take care of the more than 500 Xia people who came with him.
The reason why there are so many people is because of Qing Dynasty.
Weakness and compromise externally, the material strength of China and the favor of the country, domestic exploitation and bone suction marrow, rather than domestic slaves with allies.
The Daxia people who can’t survive will naturally look for other ways out.
After Lin Hao approached the family of craftsmen who built the palace, they only put forward one condition: they would take the family members away with them, and the heroes who helped him also made the same request.
As more and more people were willing to follow Lin Hao across the ocean, they had to turn to the ambassador of the British Empire in the Qing Dynasty. After a bribe of 30,000 pounds, the ambassador came forward to ask Daxia craftsmen to build for the royal family. In the name of the palace, these people were brought back safely.
“Master’s plan has been changed again. Not only is the Daming Palace to be built on the ground, but the scale of construction on the ground floor is not inferior to that on the ground.”
Lin Guodong is Lin Feng’s old buddy for many years. He was newly promoted to be the captain of the personal guard. He knows many things before the housekeeper.
He is less than 30 years old this year and just got married last month. His wife was born in a down-and-out aristocratic family.
If it weren’t for the prosperity of the Lin family, how could he, a rebel from the Qing Dynasty, marry a noble woman?
Lin Guodong had already made up his mind that his children would also work for the Lin family in the future and would serve Lin Feng to the death.
The torch is passed down from generation to generation, and the bloodline continues day by day. Not only his descendants will work for Lin Feng, but even the descendants of his descendants will work for Lin Feng from generation to generation.
“Ah…, master’s battle is really big, with several floors above ground and floors underground, it’s a small city!”
Lin Hao muttered to himself, he had been looking for a family of craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and he had seen the blueprints of the palaces, mausoleums, and underground palaces built by their ancestors for the past dynasties, but none of them could compare with the master’s plan.
“Hurry up and bring the craftsman in, the master is waiting for you in the manor.”
Lin Guodong urged Lin Hao a little bit, Lin Hao smiled apologetically, turned around and beckoned a thin and energetic old man, and walked in quickly.
Standing at the gate of the manor was a handsome and tall young man. With thick black hair and Brown pupils, he looked a bit like a Daxia, but his deep eyes, high nose and White skin were clearly Anglo-Saxon.
“Master James, why are you here? I am so flattered that the master let you greet me.”
Lin Hao exclaimed excitedly and in surprise, the master’s adoptive son is also the young master, so his status is naturally higher than theirs.
“Hahaha, Brother Hao, you don’t need to be humble. My adoptive father regards you and other uncles as brothers! If you didn’t let me call you Uncle, I wouldn’t dare to call you brother!”
James stepped forward, hugged Lin Hao fiercely and laughed.
“Come with me, foster father is waiting for you in the living room, compared to this old man, he is Mr. Lu Ban Gong Shuao, please come inside!”
He let go of Lin Hao, looked at the old man behind him, and stretched out his hand with a smile.
Gong Shu Ao looked anxious, glanced at Lin Hao and saw him nodding, wiped his hands on his clothes hastily, and held James’ hand and said.
“The people in the countryside are welcomed by the young master. It’s an honor, an honor!”
Lin Hao sighed on the side, the little kid has grown up, and he also knows how to share the master’s worries, and walked into the living room under James’ glaring gaze.
Gong Shuao was half a step behind and followed James into the living room.
After the welcome feast for the host and guests, Lin Hao respectfully left, and Lin Feng invited Gong Shuao to the study to chat and taste the tea from the Dahongpao mother tree in Wuyi Mountain that he entrusted someone to bring back from the Qing Dynasty.
“Mr. Gongshu, forgive me, I don’t know how to tea ceremony, but I wasted good tea!”
Lin Feng said modestly, and put down the teacup in his hand.
Strange to say, he used to love to drink carbonated drinks, but in this life in a foreign country, he fell in love with the clear, tangy and tangy taste of tea.
“Master Lin is too modest, you are returning to the basics, going away from the complicated and keeping the great way!”
“The product of the Dahongpao mother tree in Wuyi Mountain can only be enjoyed by the emperor of the Qing court! If it weren’t for Master Tuolin’s blessings, the old man would not be able to drink it even if I reincarnated eighteen times!”
Gongshu Ao sipped the tea carefully, while expressing his gratitude sincerely.
Lin Feng listened with great interest, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
The old man didn’t show such obedience in his heart, he actually wanted to help the Lin family build a palace, and then get away from the Lin family with a generous salary to support himself.
Hehe, using yourself as a springboard is really reckless!
Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, life would be better than death. He was willing to be a slave, but he fled to Ghana with the help of the Lin family, but he was unwilling to be under others. Isn’t this bullying honest people?
There are too many weird and bizarre things in this world, Gong Shuao would rather be a Qing dog than the Lin family?
The human heart is like a spring, it’s fine if you keep pressing it, once you let it go, you will have a very strong force to rebound if you want to force it down.
Although he used Telepathy to gain insight into his true thoughts, Lin Feng didn’t attack right away.
As the first group of Daxia people recruited from the Qing Dynasty, Gong Shuao, if he was treated cruelly, it would definitely affect the subsequent work of recruiting talents, and the old man would not feel comfortable.
Things hurt their kind, and people have the same heart.
Lin Feng has never learned the art of the emperor’s mind, but he has managed the Lin family for so many years, and he also knows that to win the hearts of the people, he must work with kindness and strength.
As the saying goes, those who attack the heart, understand it with reason, move it with emotion, show it with righteousness, and obey it with prestige!
“Speaking of which, I have been away from my homeland for more than ten years, Mr. Gongshu, I don’t know how the people in my homeland are living now?”
Lin Feng thought for a while, lit a cigarette and asked Gong Shuao.
Gongshu Ao was stunned for a moment, and then replied after a while.
“What else? It’s much worse than it was ten years ago. Wars happen from time to time, and people’s livelihood is getting worse. The old man’s family specializes in the construction of royal palaces. It’s okay, and they can barely support their families.”
“People in Common can’t even guarantee food and clothing. The government always has endless corvees and green mouth money. When there is a famine, every family sells their sons and daughters, and they even exchange sons for food after the exchange.”
Lin Feng looked at him playfully and said.
“The old man’s complexion is rosy, it doesn’t look like he has lived a poor life!”
Gong Shuao suddenly had an ominous premonition, the gentle smiling gentleman in front of him seemed to see through his heart, and there was a hint of something in his words that touched him.
He arched his hands and laughed.
“I would also like to thank the master and Mr. Lin Hao for their love. I was fed and clothed on the boat, so that my old bones can be healthy and I can serve the master with all my heart!”
Lin Feng did not speak, but pondered for a moment.
The old guy seems to be subdued, but in Telepathy he hasn’t given up on his previous ideas.
“The old man must be physically and mentally exhausted from traveling across the ocean. Let’s go down and rest for a night. Tomorrow, someone will take you to the city to buy some daily necessities and settle down the family.”
“As for the construction of the palace, there is no rush. The old man must not worry about the future, so that he can concentrate on working for the Lin family.”
When Lin Feng talked about his worries, he deliberately emphasized his tone.
Gong Shuao’s face changed color, and he smiled awkwardly.
“Thank you, Master, for your concern, actually…”
Lin Feng waved his hand, he was too lazy to argue with him anymore, when the old guy saw the power of the Lin family tomorrow, he should know how to position himself.
…
“Master Shu Hao asked you to find me, but that old bastard doesn’t know how to flatter you?”
Lin Hao had a guess in his heart and said bluntly.
After the master talked with Gong Shuao, he asked Lin Shuhao to come to him. It must be that there was something wrong with his errand.
With one hand on the armrest, Lin Shuhao tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
“Hehe, he was very flattering, but he was afraid that he didn’t take the Lin family seriously, so the master saw it and called me over.”
“It’s no wonder that they used to work for the Tartar royal family, so they naturally looked down on the Lin family, a self-made commoner!”
boom!
Lin Hao jumped up against the crime, and cursed angrily.
“It’s against him, Brother Shu Hao, please don’t worry! I’ll go and punish him right away, I won’t be named Lin until I peel his skin!”
After he finished speaking, he was furious and wanted to turn around and go to settle accounts with Gongshu Ao, who had crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
Lin Shuhao raised his hand to stop Lin Hao, and said calmly.
“Come on, take your time, be safe and don’t be impatient, why should you be as knowledgeable as a frog at the bottom of a well!”
“If you beat and kill someone, will anyone dare to come to seek refuge in the future?”
Lin Hao sat down indignantly, and continued to speak in anger.
“If I hadn’t brought him out of the Qing Dynasty, his family would starve to death within a month! I thought he was a man who would repay his kindness, but he was a white-eyed wolf who would repay his kindness with revenge.”
“The master is still kind-hearted. This kind of person should be thrown into ‘Purgatory’, and the 18 kinds of torture should be able to grind away his rebellious bones!”
Lin Shuhao rolled his eyes at him angrily, knowing that his mind was full of muscles and he couldn’t think of a good way.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved to Lin Guodong.
“That old thing is nothing more than a dry bone in a grave, you listen carefully…”
…
The next morning, downtown Edmond.
Gong Shuao and the others were stunned by the prosperity of the urban area and the tall buildings on both sides of the street, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden to see everything new.
Lin Hao walked around with him for a while, no matter which store he went to, the boss would come up to say hello graciously, and he would not haggle over the price if he saw something, and he would simply pay the money and pay, showing the true qualities of a wealthy man.
Gongshu Ao watched eagerly from the sidelines, and couldn’t help but think that after earning money from the Lin family, with the superb skills of the Gongshu family, he should also be able to be as famous as the Lin family, and be distinguished in front of the outstanding people in this foreign country.
Lin Hao watched the expression on his face change, and he couldn’t stop laughing inwardly. The old man really thought that he could make a fortune in Ghana by himself, and I’ll show you the arrogance of Westerners in a moment.
“Mr. Gongshu, I drank too much tea before I came out. I want to make it convenient. I will pay for all your consumption if you continue shopping!”
Lin Hao smiled shyly, cupped his hands apologetically, and trotted into the alley next to the street.
Gong Shuao hadn’t recovered yet, his son said with a sneer.
“After all, it belongs to a nouveau riche family. There are no rules. How can there be any reason to abandon the distinguished guests for convenience?”
“This Lin family is nothing more than that, it treats the servants too leniently!”
“Before, I was worried about whether my father’s idea would be unrealistic! Now it seems that his generation is nothing to worry about, and my father’s loser may be replaced!”
Gong Shuao’s expression was uncertain, he had gone through the vicissitudes of life, and he always felt that something was wrong.
However, instigated by his son Gongshugan’s rhetoric, he just felt that he was not quite used to it when he first arrived, and he felt a little too nervous.
“Let’s go, we don’t have to wait for him! There are still two translators, let them take them to buy some good clothes, and bring some rouge and gouache for your daughter-in-law!”
Gong Shuqian nodded, bossing around the translator.
“The two of you lead the way to the best clothing store and the best cosmetics store. If you dare to neglect us, you can’t afford it!”
The two translators looked at each other and saw the anger in each other’s eyes.
They have served the Lin family for more than ten years, and even the master has never spoken ill to each other. The son of a mere craftsman is so rampant, it’s really heaven that if he wants to perish, he must first make him crazy.
The translator suppressed the fire and forced out a smiling face.
“Everyone, please follow me. Not far ahead is the Bruce Brothers clothing store, which has a variety of styles and high quality.”
Gongshuao’s family followed the interpreter to a shop on the street, and the police officers patrolling the street ran over before they went in.
Several white police officers surrounded Gong Shuao’s family with guns in their hands and scolded.
“Which family are you slaves? How dare you run around without your master around?”
Gong Shuao and the others couldn’t understand English, so they had to look back at the two translators.
The police officers also saw the interpreter, and one of the police officers who knew the interpreter changed his tone and asked kindly.
“Dams, don’t you guys work in the Lin family? Why do you have time to go shopping today? Are they slaves of the Lin family?”
The two translators shook their heads at the same time.
“They are not slaves of the Lin family.”
Holding a grudge against Gong Shuao’s family, they deliberately only told half the truth.
The police officers were all smiles.
Since they are not slaves of the Lin family, according to the relevant laws of Ghana, a slave who goes out alone without the guidance of his master is regarded as a fugitive slave. The police officers have the right to take it back and resell it, and the money left behind is all their own.
“I’m just saying, apart from the people of the Lin family, which yellow-skinned guys are not slaves? Brothers, take them back after work, and lock them up for a few days to see if anyone comes to claim them!”
When the leading police officer greeted them, the other police officers took out their handcuffs one after another, and without any explanation, pushed Gong Shuao’s family to the ground, with their knees firmly pressed against their necks.
“Help! I can’t breathe!”
Gongshu had never seen such a vicious person before, he felt that he could not breathe, and he repeatedly called for help to the passers-by on the side of the road.
Caucasians in a hurry, when they saw the arrester was yellow-skinned, they cast a disdainful glance and stopped paying attention.
Gongshu Ao, a mature man, thought of something and yelled at the translator.
“I want to see the master, I know I was wrong!”
The two translators shrugged, it was too late to realize their mistake.
After a while, Gong Shuao’s family was handcuffed behind their backs. After being beaten and kicked by the police officers, they went into the cell of the Public Security Bureau weeping for their father and mother.
In the dark and smelly Dungeon, Gong Shugan was still cursing.
“The bastards with the plague, they did it on purpose, let’s see how I deal with them after I go out!”
“Father, I can’t swallow this tone! How about we do some tricks on the palace, and when the time comes, we will take over the Lin family, and we will take over the manor and be the masters of our own family!”
Gong Shu Ao, who was sitting on the ground with his head down, raised his head and stared at his son intently, his bloodshot eyes glowing fiercely.
If it weren’t for this rebellious son’s repeated instigation, he would be so ambitious as an old man, and he would be grateful to his master if he could eat enough.
“It’s all because of your lard. You are still bewitching me with nonsense. At this stage, you are still obsessed with ghosts. If I beat you to death today, I will treat you as a rebellious son!”
With a roar, Gong Shuao rushed forward and pinched his son’s neck with both hands.
Engaged in manual labor all year round, his strength is much stronger than Gongshugan.
No matter how hard Gong Shuqian tried, he still couldn’t break his father’s hand, and after a while, his eyes rolled white and his breath was as gossamer, as if he would die at any moment.
Clap clap!
Lin Hao clapped his hands, walked to the front of the cell, and said with a smile through the iron fence.
“Mr. Gongshu’s righteous killing of relatives is really admirable!”
“However, killing a son with a father is a tragedy in the world. The master is kind-hearted, so he probably wouldn’t want to see this scene. As for the wild words he just uttered to murder his own money, let the judge decide!”
Hearing his voice, Gong Shuao suddenly turned his head and let go of his hands, stepped a few steps to the fence, and shouted while grabbing the iron railing thick as a thumb.
“That rebellious son deserves to die for his vicious thoughts. I dare not intercede for him! Please also tell the master to spare my wife, daughter-in-law and grandson. I promise that the future generations will be loyal to the master!”
Seeing Lin Shuhao’s sneer, he knelt down and kowtowed hard.
Bang bang bang!
The forehead was knocked on the ground, and bloodstains were printed, which shows the great force.
After a few strokes, Gong Shuao’s forehead was bloody and bloody, and he could faintly see the white frontal bone, but he still endured the severe pain and kowtowed continuously.
“Get better, for the sake of your remorse, you and your wife, daughter-in-law and grandson can live.”
Lin Hao patted the railing impatiently, preventing Gong Shuao from continuing to knock down.
