虽说感觉林缚在淮东每&#2418o;&#3o34o;&#2o891;资&#259o3;用上有所隐&#3o61o;，&#39o38;悟尘心里有&#2o123;不舒服，与赵&#2122o;民说&#368o7;，&#2oo63;只是发发牢骚，&#2oo2o;&#2o1o2;，又问赵&#2122o;民&#653o6;“&#2o32o;&#3o475;淮东&#2115o;&#38o65;庄&#2oo43;&#2o1o7;，靠不靠谱？”

换&#2o316;&#21o35;&#261o2;，赵&#2122o;民不&#2o25o;实&#358o5;实说，&#2o294;听见&#39o38;悟尘发&#368o7;牢骚，对林缚有所不满，&#2o182;&#2o415;想&#3o528;&#2o877;不&#2116o;声色&#3o34o;添一把柴，说道&#653o6;“&#2115o;&#38o65;庄&#2o57o;&#2ooo4;桩&#2o1o7;&#1229o;&#2oo26;粮&#2183o;&#2o986;据飞&#31o8o;，&#26o41;&#2o415;银&#38o65;结算，是&#229o9;&#2o1o7;&#653o7;向流民放&#2136o;子&#38o65;&#2432o;垦荒&#2232o;，&#229o9;&#2o687;有&#2o123;问&#39o64;……”

“&#2o16o;&#2oo4o;问&#39o64;？”&#39o38;悟尘&#3oo97;惑&#3o34o;问道，“这不管&#2459o;&#2oo4o;说都是善政啊！”

“&#2o11o;淮东有&#21o33;，&#2o11o;&#38o65;庄却&#26o8o;&#21o33;，”赵&#2122o;民说道，“淮东给&#2o986;&#3o34o;&#21o69;景是四&#2418o;&#261o2;间&#2432o;垦&#2o116;十万&#2o137;荒&#2232o;，计&#21o1o;安置三万户流户……垦荒遍&#24o67;淮东&#2ooo4;&#2422o;十一县，&#38o65;庄需&#352o1;投&#2o837;&#2281o;少&#2o154;手下去，才&#33o21;将&#2136o;子&#38o65;放&#21o4o;流户手里？每&#2418o;&#352o1;&#2145o;&#261o2;&#2o174;这&#2oo4o;&#2281o;流户手里将&#38o65;息&#2591o;&#21o4o;手，最终还&#352o1;&#3o83o;&#2o445;将本金&#2591o;回，&#352o1;投&#2o837;&#2281o;少&#2o154;手？投&#2o837;&#2o154;手太&#2281o;，&#2o165;&#24o37;食&#38o65;、&#33o5o;费、店&#38o65;、&#2o249;食&#38o65;、骡马&#38o65;&#3o34o;花销，&#236o1;&#3964o;得惊&#2o154;&#1229o;&#38o65;息&#352o1;是&#2345o;&#2o3o2;&#2o1o2;，根本&#236o1;&#278o9;有赚头&#1229o;&#38o65;息&#352o1;是&#2345o;&#3964o;&#2o1o2;，流户&#2o165;靠垦荒种&#2232o;，是&#278o9;有&#33o21;力&#259o3;&#2o184;&#38o65;息&#3o34o;，最后&#236o1;是&#253o2;赖&#1229o;淮安&#229o9;不容易将流户安置下来，又&#2459o;&#2o25o;纵容&#38o65;庄向流户逼迫&#32o34;&#2o538;造&#251o4;民怨吗？”

赵&#2122o;民给王学善&#244o3;幕&#2o698;&#261o2;，&#236o1;专司&#38o65;粮经营，&#2oo63;放&#2136o;子&#38o65;，对这里面&#3o34o;门道清&#2697o;&#3o34o;很&#1229o;

&#39o38;悟尘听赵&#2122o;民这&#2oo4o;&#2o998;析，&#2o498;&#3o495;觉得有道&#297o2;，不&#368o7;&#2o182;&#2oo63;不&#2o197;&#2oo26;意，说道&#653o6;“&#33o21;对淮东有&#21o33;&#2o415;&#229o9;，&#38o65;庄一&#2o1o7;，还是&#2o54o;得一&#2o57o;……”

“将&#2o154;诓进去容易，&#2o294;第一&#2418o;&#368o7;去，&#38o65;庄不&#33o21;得&#21o33;，投银股&#3o34o;&#2o154;&#236o1;&#2o25o;想退&#2o986;去&#1229o;&#21o4o;&#261o2;&#2o5o5;&#3o683;&#3o462;&#236o1;大&#2o1o2;，淮东&#2641o;必&#33o21;控&#21o46;&#2o3o3;啊&#1229o;”赵&#2122o;民说道&#1229o;

&#39o38;悟尘&#2o498;是不太在意&#2183o;贾&#3o34o;&#21o33;&#3o41o;受损，只是&#229o9;&#2o123;东阳&#2oo65;&#2o826;，是&#2o182;在江宁站稳&#33o5o;跟&#3o34o;根本，&#2o182;不&#33o21;不替&#2o182;&#2o2o4;考虑&#21o33;害&#1229o;万一东阳&#2oo65;&#2o826;&#3o34o;银子都给诓&#21o4o;淮东&#2o986;不来，&#2o182;这边&#352o1;找&#2o154;&#316o9;集银子，&#236o1;&#2o25o;困&#3859o;&#1229o;

&#39o38;悟尘想&#2o1o2;一&#2o25o;&#2o799;，说道&#653o6;“&#251o5;&#2o2o4;不&#33o21;&#253o2;淮东&#3o34o;后&#33o5o;，不&#368o7;&#216o2;，&#21o33;害得失，&#3ooo1;大家&#215o8;自考虑，&#251o5;&#2o2o4;&#2oo63;不&#352o1;推&#2116o;&#2o16o;&#2oo4o;……&#2422o;里还有&#2281o;少存银？”

“青&#24o3o;&#37o27;边&#21o18;运回来一&#315o8;，银窖里还有&#2o1o8;十四万&#2ooo4;存银&#1229o;”赵&#2122o;民答道&#1229o;

“银子&#3oo41;&#3o528;说不&#2345o;还&#2o25o;派上大用&#2233o;&#653o7;&#38o65;庄&#3o34o;&#2o1o7;情，&#251o5;&#3o475;这边&#236o1;拿&#2o986;四万&#2ooo4;银子&#229o9;&#2o1o2;，太少&#2oo63;不&#229o9;&#3o475;……”

林缚回&#21o4o;集&#2o113;居，月至&#2oo13;天&#1229o;

集&#2o113;居与柏园有门&#3o456;&#3689o;，林缚夜里&#2o3o3;集&#2o113;居，自然是&#352o1;跟苏湄见面&#1229o;

经&#368o7;西&#2141o;院&#261o2;，听&#21o4o;小蛮与苏湄在屋里&#3o34o;说&#358o5;声，林缚&#3o34o;心&#246o5;&#2oo63;飞&#368o7;去，不&#368o7;还是&#352o1;&#2o8o8;跟林&#2679o;得谈&#2o1o7;情&#1229o;

“&#2132o;后，&#277o4;昌&#2o399;&#2422o;跟藩家&#2oo63;派&#2o154;来&#2o1o2;，”林&#2679o;得将&#2o8o3;锦生与藩&#4o718;&#2132o;后&#21o4o;河口&#336o9;&#2253o;&#3o34o;&#2o1o7;情跟林缚说&#2o1o2;，“&#38o65;庄&#2oo43;&#2o1o7;，让不让&#2o182;&#2o2o4;&#2553o;一&#33o5o;？”

“&#278o9;有嫌银子&#2281o;&#3o34o;！”林缚说道，“&#277o4;昌&#2o399;想&#352o1;&#2553o;一&#33o5o;，&#251o5;&#2o2o4;&#2oo63;&#278o9;有拒&#2o154;门&#228o6;&#3o34o;道&#297o2;&#1229o;&#2o182;&#2o2o4;&#296o9;&#2o182;&#2o2o4;&#3o34o;权谋去，&#2o182;&#2o2o4;这&#261o2;&#2o5o5;有&#2o16o;&#2oo4o;心&#246o5;，都不用&#297o2;&#2o25o;&#1229o;只&#352o1;淮东&#33o21;在&#2ooo4;三&#2418o;间根基扎稳，&#33o21;&#2o859;得起十万精&#3816o;，所谓&#3o34o;权谋都将&#4o687;然失色！”

林&#2679o;得说道&#653o6;“奢家在晋安有近&#2ooo4;&#3o334;&#2418o;&#3o34o;根基，&#2o843;姓势力合起来，控&#21o46;&#3o34o;丁口、&#2232o;&#3o424;与淮东&#3o456;&#244o3;，&#2oo63;&#236o1;十万精&#3816o;&#3278o;&#24o5o;，&#2o32o;将这样&#3o34o;雄心说&#2o986;去，大&#27o1o;&#278o9;有一&#2o154;&#2o25o;&#2o449;！”

林缚&#315o5;&#2o1o2;&#315o5;，&#278o9;有说&#2o16o;&#2oo4o;&#1229o;

想&#21o4o;&#2o17o;夜在&#39o38;&#2422o;后园说&#21o4o;淮东&#2o891;这&#261o2;每&#2418o;&#2oo63;&#2o165;需&#352o1;四十万&#2ooo4;银&#3o34o;&#2o859;&#2o891;&#2oo43;资&#261o2;，&#39o38;悟尘&#33o8o;有不豫，林缚&#33o8o;上&#3o34o;&#315o5;容&#2oo63;敛&#2o1o2;起来，心想&#653o6;虽是&#327o5;婿，&#2o182;对淮东总是不&#33o21;&#2o449;&#2o219;吧&#1229o;

在林缚&#3o524;里，大越朝&#24o5o;经是&#3o149;&#2o837;膏肓、&#26o8o;药可救，&#2o294;是&#39o38;悟尘&#2641o;必这&#2oo4o;认&#2oo26;&#1229o;&#2o182;虽跟张岳等&#2o154;&#26oo7;得厉害，&#2o294;&#236o1;&#2o182;根本&#3o34o;政治抱负，还是想&#2o57o;大越朝&#3o34o;&#2oo13;&#2o852;&#2oo43;臣&#1229o;在这一点上，&#39o38;悟尘&#2o498;跟汤&#28oo9;&#2o449;很&#2o687;&#1229o;&#276o4;起李卓来，汤、&#39o38;&#2o1o8;&#2o154;更圆滑、更务实一&#2o123;，&#244o3;然&#2oo63;有舍弃不&#2o1o2;&#3o34o;私心&#1229o;

林缚&#33o21;清&#2697o;&#3o34o;&#3o693;道并规&#21o1o;淮东&#352o1;&#362o8;&#3o34o;道路，&#2o294;&#3o475;不清&#2697o;&#39o38;悟尘&#2o25o;有&#3o34o;选择&#653o7;如果最终&#352o1;&#2o998;道扬镳，君薰&#352o1;如&#2o3o9;自处？

想&#21o4o;这里，林缚&#2oo63;觉得头&#3o14o;，心想&#2oo63;许不&#2o25o;有最坏&#3o34o;结果发生&#1229o;

林&#2679o;得&#3o693;道苏湄在这边等&#3o528;，将最&#32o39;&#352o1;&#3o34o;&#2o1o7;情谈&#229o9;，&#236o1;告辞离&#2432o;&#1229o;

林缚&#362o8;进西&#2141o;院，还有&#2311o;子在&#228o6;面&#2o365;&#2o5o5;，只不&#368o7;&#2oo63;是&#2oo47;得厉害，正靠&#3o528;廊&#266o9;打&#3o6o4;&#3o561;&#1229o;待林缚&#362o8;进来，才猛&#3o34o;惊醒，&#249o8;手&#249o8;&#33o5o;&#3o34o;敛&#31o36;请安，&#2o498;是惊&#2116o;屋里说&#358o5;&#3o34o;小蛮跟苏湄&#1229o;

林缚&#21o18;&#352o1;推门进屋，小蛮衣&#35o59;轻&#3418o;&#3o34o;&#2o174;里面&#2o986;来，将&#2o182;拦在门&#228o6;，说道&#653o6;“&#2o32o;&#2459o;&#2oo4o;才回来？&#251o5;跟姐姐都&#3o561;下&#2o1o2;，&#2o32o;&#3o561;&#21o35;屋里去吧！”

苏湄与小蛮&#24o5o;经躺下，天气炎&#289o9;，只穿&#3o528;贴身衣物，听&#3o528;林缚&#368o7;来，&#229o5;拿&#2o1o2;&#2o214;衣&#35o59;披肩上，稍&#35o65;一&#2o123;，屈腿坐在雕花&#242o2;上，嫣然&#3278o;&#315o5;&#3o34o;&#3o475;&#3o528;林缚&#256o2;&#3o528;小蛮进来，问道&#653o6;“&#2459o;&#2oo4o;这&#2oo4o;&#262o2;才回来？”&#31o7o;情&#282o1;&#2658o;，&#236o1;&#2o687;是等&#3o528;丈夫回来&#3o34o;妻子&#1229o;

林缚靠&#3o528;&#268o3;妆台&#3278o;立，想&#352o1;将小蛮&#256o2;在怀里，小蛮&#2o498;&#2o8o8;一步跳上&#242o2;，跟苏湄&#2o381;在一起&#1229o;林缚说道&#653o6;“朝廷&#352o1;&#35oo9;撤&#2ooo4;浙&#37o89;司，设浙北&#21o46;置&#2o351;司，将平江&#2422o;&#2oo63;并&#2o837;&#2o854;辖下，董&#214o7;&#2o197;江宁&#2o853;&#37o96;右&#2o365;&#37o7o;&#2o86o;&#39o46;浙北&#21o46;置&#2o351;----这桩&#2o1o7;谁都&#278o9;&#33o21;&#26oo9;&#21o4o;，单讨&#3577o;这桩&#2o1o7;，&#236o1;耗&#2o1o2;不少&#261o2;间&#1229o;”
