Chapter 487 Arrangement
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first!" Lin Xuan said riding outside Li Shimin's car.
"When are you going to leave for Lingnan?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
"Return to Your Majesty, I plan to set off on the fifth day of the lunar new year." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin pondered for a while, then said, "Be careful."
"I know, thank you Your Majesty for your concern." Lin Xuan said.
Lin Xuan watched Li Shimin's car drive away, turned his horse's head, and headed out of the city.
……
"Father and mother, if you encounter any danger on the road, listen to the arrangements of Cao Junwei and Zhang Daoquan." Lin Xuan confessed.
Today is the day when Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing set off to Luoyang to worship their ancestors.
For the safety of his parents, Lin Xuan asked Cao Junwei and Zhang Daoquan to lead a hundred soldiers to escort them all the way.
Whether it is Cao Junwei or Zhang Daoquan, they are all veterans. Their martial arts may not be particularly high, but their ability to survive the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty should not be underestimated.
With them, plus a hundred well-trained soldiers, the safety of the parents is still guaranteed.
As for whether Zhang Daoquan and Cao Junwei would be in danger and leave his parents to escape alone, Lin Xuan was not worried at all.
Their sons and apprentices stayed by Lin Xuan's side. Unless they didn't care about their sons and apprentices' lives, they couldn't have escaped.
This is why the imperial court stipulated that the families of the generals who guarded the border and led troops abroad should stay in Chang'an.
It is for the sake of restraint that these generals who hold power alone will be afraid of rats.
I don't know that the imperial court is using this point, and the aristocratic and wealthy families are all like this in employing people.
Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.
It's not that you have to trust people completely, but you have to find a way to keep yourself from doubting.
If there is no restraint, how can Lin Xuan rest assured that his parents will be safely handed over to two people who have taken refuge with them not long ago.
"I see, you must pay attention to safety when you go to Lingnan." Lin Dongyang said.
"Father, don't worry, with my master here, there will be no danger." Lin Xuan comforted.
"Xuan'er, you must bring Caiyue with you." Zhang Qing explained worriedly.
"Mother, I understand, you guys get in the car quickly." Lin Xuan said.
Lin Dongyang nodded and said, "It's getting late, let's get in the car and set off."
After his parents got in the car, Lin Xuan came to Cao Junwei and Zhang Daoquan, and said, "I leave the safety of my parents to you. My parents' safety is the most important thing in everything, and their safety must be guaranteed."
Cao Junwei and Zhang Daoquan cupped their hands and said: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, as long as the two of us don't die, the master and wife will be fine."
Lin Xuan patted the shoulders of both of them and said, "I trust you, go."
He knew the past of Cao Junwei and Zhang Daoquan. They never ran away on the battlefield at the end of the Sui Dynasty. They had to retreat only when they were defeated at the end of the battle.
If the two were the kind of people who ran away when they saw the wrong opportunity, even if their son and apprentice stayed by his side, he would not dare to let them protect their parents.
Lin Wanxi didn't know that Lin Xuan would not go with them, but seeing the carriage started to move, Lin Xuan still stood there, and hurriedly said: "Father, brother, won't you go with us?"
"Your brother won't go with us if he has something to do." Zhang Qing said holding his daughter.
"I want my brother. If my brother doesn't go, I won't go either." Lin Wanxi said as she wanted to get out of the car from her mother's arms.
"Duoduo is obedient, your brother has business to do and has no time to take care of you." Zhang Qing scolded coldly.
Lin Wanxi is already six years old, and after reading for nearly a year, she is quite sensible, and she did not play her temper, but with tears in her eyes, she opened the curtains, stuck her head out of the window, and looked at Lin Xuan reluctantly. .
Lin Xuan could only pretend that he didn't see him. If he passed by, Lin Wanxi would be even more reluctant to leave.
Watching his parents' carriage go away, Lin Xuan turned and returned to the mansion.
Back in the yard, Chunyue and Yuhe were packing things.
Seeing that they had packed two big boxes, Lin Xuan said speechlessly, "I'm packing lightly this time. You guys packed so many things for me. How can I take them with me then?"
"But these are all the son needs to use." Chunyue said.
Lin Xuan looked at a box full of clothes and a box of daily necessities, waved his hands, and said, "The weather in Lingnan is not as cold as Chang'an, and these clothes are not needed at all. Just pack two sets for me. If you want to brush toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, just put it on for me."
"Yes, my lord." Seeing Lin Xuan's insistence, the two had no choice but to agree.
After Lin Xuan left, Yuhe said with some concern: "Sister Chunyue, Chang'an is so far away from Lingnan, and the son brought so little things, and he didn't bring us to serve him. I don't know how much hardship he will suffer along the way."
"I think you are envious of Miss Caiyue being able to follow and serve you." Chunyue joked.
"Hate."
Yuhe was very embarrassed when she was told that she had broken her mind.
Chunyue said: "There is no way, who told us that we can't ride a horse? If the young master takes us with him, it will become a burden instead."
"We can't compare Miss Caiyue's martial arts, but she can't compare with us when it comes to serving others. Can she serve Lord Hou well?" Yu He said.
When Chunyue heard it, she thought it made sense, thought for a while, and said, "We definitely can't follow, I can only trouble Miss Caiyue to serve Lord Hou, but Miss Caiyue has never served anyone before, and she doesn't know about the son. Habits, how about we tell her the young master's living habits and hobbies, so that she can serve the young master well?"
Yuhe's eyes lit up, and she said, "Sister Chunyue is smarter, we'll teach him after we clean up."
Leaving aside the careful thoughts of the two maids, Lin Xuan is currently in the hall of the Lin family, arranging things.
The businesses of Moxuanzhai, Liulige, Shenxianzui, and Furniture Workshop are all on the right track, and he doesn't need to worry about it, just a simple explanation will do.
Lin Xuan looked at Xu Guangfu and said, "Your task this year is to build the Cuju Field and the Keyun Building. I have given you the blueprints. When the weather warms up, you can just look at the arrangements."
"Master Hou, don't worry, the people under his command are already very experienced." Xu Guangfu said confidently.
Lin Xuan nodded, and said: "I have said everything that needs to be said. You did a good job last year, and you deserve the rewards you deserve. This Marquis does not want you to be complacent because of last year's achievements. If there is any omission, otherwise Don't blame Ben Hou for turning his face and denying people."
The way of the imperial court is the combination of leniency and strictness. Usually, you should be beaten or you should be beaten.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely do as Lord Hou ordered."
Everyone quickly stood up to express their views.
Lin Xuan waved his hands and said, "Go back first."
"Master Hou, I'll take my leave!"
After they left, Lin Xuan looked at Steward Lin and asked, "How about the people I brought back from Gaochang?"
"Master Hui, those people are now placed in the old house in Chang'an." Lin Butler said.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Those who know how to grow grapes and make wine, when Lin Ping goes to Jiangnan, let him take them all there, buy some land in Jiangnan, let them grow grapes and make wine in Jiangnan, Lin Ping won't have to come back Let him be the steward there, responsible for managing tea gardens and planting grapes to make wine."
Lin Ping is the son of Lin Butler, he is quite capable and trustworthy, Lin Xuan thought for a long time, and finally chose to let him go to Jiangnan to be a steward.
"Thank you son on behalf of the old slave." Lin Butler said excitedly.
Lin Ping was in charge at a young age. Although the Lin family didn't have much property in Jiangnan, it was very important.
