Chapter 510 Returning to the Heart Like an Arrow
Xi Junmai already knew Lin Xuan's identity from Qiu Fu's mouth, and came here just to take refuge in Lin Xuan, so naturally he would not refuse at this time.
Lin Xuan originally wanted Xi Jun to buy and go to sea with Zhang Zhongjian, but after thinking about it, he dismissed this idea.
What Xi Junmai wants is to make contributions, and going to sea will not bring him an official position. If it is arranged in that way, it will make Xi Junmai resentful.
"You have worked hard along the way, go down and rest." Lin Xuan said.
"Yes, my subordinates retire."
"Liu Da, ask someone to bring ten thousand coins and go to the dock with me." Lin Xuan said.
"Yes."
Liu Da took the order and hurried down to make arrangements.
……
"I've seen Lord Hou!" Lu Shichun saluted.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "I'm sending you [-] guan money this time as an early expense. In the next few days, I'm going back to Chang'an. If there's anything going on in the future, I'll report it to Liu Da."
"Master Hou, I..." Liu Da was a little confused.
Lin Xuan raised his hand and interrupted Liu Da.
Liu Dalian hurriedly shut up.
"Master Hou Fangxin, the little ones must report everything to Mr. Liu." Lu Shichun said quickly.
On the way back, Liu Da kept hesitant to speak, he was just a martial artist, how could he manage these things.
"Liu Da, I really have no one to use right now. If you stay here for two months, someone will replace you." Lin Xuan said.
The person arranged by Zhang Zhongjian will have to wait for a while to arrive.
Lingnan definitely needs someone to take care of it temporarily.
This time, he transported [-] guan coins from Chang'an, but he was still not at ease with Lu Shichun, what if he ran away with all the money given to him?
If the inland is fine, this is the seaside, as long as there are boats, it is difficult to find people if you go to other countries with money.
Liu Da said with a bitter face: "Master Hou, it's not that the subordinates don't want to, but that the subordinates don't understand these things. The subordinates can only kill people, so they don't care about the docks."
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "You don't need to understand, and you don't need to know. When Lu Shichun reported to you, you pretended to listen carefully. After listening, you only need to say 'I understand. , you go back.’ That’s fine.”
Liu Da was a little confused, is it really that simple?
"Don't worry, as long as you do what I say, even if something goes wrong, you won't be blamed," Lin Xuan said.
"Subordinates take orders."
Lin Xuan said so, Liu Tianran is not refusing.
"It's not a problem if you go to buy a house in a while and live in someone else's house all the time." Lin Xuan said.
"Master Hou, do you know how big a house you want to buy?" Liu Da asked.
Lin Xuan pondered: "You can buy as many as you can."
Winter in Chang'an is dry and cold, and Li Lizhi suffers from asthma. Buying a house here and spending the winter here is also good for her health.
Not long after Lin Xuan returned to the mansion, Feng An came.
Lin Xuan welcomed Feng An in, and said with a smile, "I don't know what the old Duke is talking about?"
"This old man is here to bid farewell to Zichu. I'm busy with business, so it's rare to have a few days off. If you don't go back, I'm afraid His Majesty will ask you." Feng An said.
Li Shimin probably wishes you could retire and return home, so that he can take over Lingnan peacefully.
"I've been bothering the old man to accompany you these few days, and I've been nagging." Lin Xuan said.
"Haha, this is what I should do. I am waiting to see the day when the prosperity of Guangzhou surpasses that of Suzhou and Hangzhou." Feng An laughed.
"I guess you can't see it." Lin Xuan secretly cursed.
Guangzhou is better than Suzhou and Hangzhou, certainly not now.
Even during the Song Dynasty at the peak of the Maritime Silk Road, Guangzhou was not as prosperous as Suzhou and Hangzhou.
After sending Feng An away, Lin Xuan thought about it carefully, and found that he had almost done what he needed to do, and he also felt a little homesick.
After thinking for a while, Lin Xuan stepped up and came to the courtyard where Zhang Zhongjian lived.
"I'm looking for you kid. Now that those people have arrived, I plan to leave tomorrow." Zhang Zhongjian said.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "I also came to talk to the master about this matter. Those people will have to trouble the master to worry about it in the future."
"I can't guarantee that I can bring you all the people back." Zhang Zhongjian said.
Lin Xuan was silent for a while, then said calmly, "Just do your best."
He is not the Virgin, and going to sea would be in great danger.
During Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, I don't know how many ships were damaged and how many people died, let alone the Tang Dynasty.
These people are voluntary, and they have been informed of the risks in advance. This is their own choice.
A person who has a choice is already very happy.
On the second day, Lin Xuan personally sent Zhang Zhongjian and others on board and set sail away.
"Master Hou, the boat has disappeared, let's go back first." Qiu Fu reminded.
Liu Da went to buy a house, so Qiu Fu and Xi Junmai followed Lin Xuan.
"Qiu Fu, are you homesick?" Lin Xuan said looking at the calm sea in front of him.
Qiu Fu was stunned for a moment, and said: "This subordinate needs to protect Lord Hou, and dare not miss home."
"I don't dare to think about it, so I still want to? I'm homesick too, let's prepare to go back." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Master Hou, this subordinate is going to clean up and salute." Qiu Fu said hastily.
"Wait, we won't go by land this time." Lin Xuan said.
Qiu Fu was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Master Hou, if you don't go by land, how can you go back?"
Lin Xuan pointed to the sea and said, "Take a boat."
"By boat?" Qiu Fu was taken aback, and quickly said: "The sea is turbulent, and you don't know when you will be in danger. The Marquis has a noble status, so how can you take such a risk."
"The risk at sea is high. It refers to the far sea. There is no danger in the near sea. We can go along the coastline, go to Hangzhou Port, take the Grand Canal, go ashore in Luoyang, and go straight to Chang'an, which can save nearly half of the time." Lin Xuan said.
"But…"
"There's nothing wrong with it, you go and buy a boat now, and we'll set off when I'm ready." Lin Xuan interrupted with a wave of his hand.
"Yes."
"By the way, where is the buyer of Junmai? Who else is in the family?" Lin Xuan looked at Xi Junmai and asked.
"Back to Lord Hou, the subordinates are from Hangzhou. Their parents are still alive. There is an elder brother and a three-year-old son who are taken care of by Zhuo Jing." Xi Junmai said.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "That's a coincidence. It just so happens that we will pass through Hangzhou when we go back. Then you can go home and pick up the family."
Xi Junmai's face froze, and he said unnaturally: "Thank you for the kindness of Lord Hou, but how can the subordinate's family affairs delay the schedule of Lord Hou, or go back and pick it up when the subordinate is on vacation."
Lin Xuan saw Xi Junmai's face, and knew that he must have something to hide.
It is not unusual to have a wife and children at home, but instead of taking them with them at home, they go to Lingnan, thousands of miles away from home.
Lin Xuan didn't suspect that Xi Junmai came after him.
Xi Junmai refused to pick up the family, and Lin Xuan felt that it might be the reason of the family.
But he didn't ask too much, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just want to visit Hangzhou City."
Xi Junmai hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then thank you, Lord Hou."
"Let's go, since we are going back, we must bring some gifts back. Go home first, and then let's go buy some gifts." Lin Xuan said.
Back at the mansion, Lin Xuan came to Guo Caiyue's yard.
Guo Caiyue's eyes lit up, she was about to go up to meet him, but she didn't know what she thought of, so she stopped quickly and saluted, "Your servant has seen Lord Hou."
Lin Xuan said displeased, "Where did you learn this?"
Guo Caiyue blushed, she didn't know any etiquette.
Since Lin Xuan said that she would take her as a concubine, she wanted to learn etiquette.
But no one taught her, so she figured out how Chunyue and the others usually saluted.
