Daming talker

Chapter 159 Another Magistrate

To deal with the Xujun who has already entered the pit, one must pay attention to a nonchalant attitude, and the response should not be too positive, but it must not give no feedback at all.

So Lin Tailai said to the servants of the Shen residence: "It's already late today, so I won't go into the city. When I'm free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'll visit Second Lord Shen."

The servant wanted to say something, but Lin Tailai had already walked into the gate of Xinxin Academy.

Zhang Youyu also came in, Lin Zuoguan reminded: "It's getting late, the city gate is about to be locked, why don't you go back?"

Zhang Youyu said indifferently: "When I return home, I will be accused and ridiculed by my brother, why don't I stay with you for a while."

Lin Tailai said contemptuously: "You said that you are a well-behaved celebrity, thinking about what to do to make money all day long. Besides, your brother is taking care of your family business, and you don't need to make a living!"

Zhang Youyu replied eloquently: "This is called accumulating wealth to prevent old age!"

Lin Tailai added: "Then you spend your days and nights outside at all times, and you don't seem to be able to accumulate wealth at all."

Zhang Youyu replied plausibly again: "This is called accumulating happiness to prevent death!"

Regarding this state, Mr. Lin expressed that he could not understand it, and said in a heartbroken voice:

"If all the people who study in the world are like you, they can be decadent and self-indulgent, it will be a waste of educational resources and money! If things go on like this, I'm afraid that the building will collapse and the country will be ruined!"

Zhang Youyu snorted coldly: "You actually taught me a lesson, is this your attitude of apprenticeship?

Apart from me in the entire city of Suzhou, who is willing to be your sutra teacher! "

Lin Tailai said in surprise: "You also know that you are a dishonest senior?"

On the next day, just as Lin Tailai woke up, he received a letter from Mrs. Fan who was in charge of the new Wulian franchise business.

Several churches in the east bank of Taihu Lake, which had been very resistant to the alliance before, all agreed yesterday to hold an alliance in Mudu Town this month.

This sudden submissive attitude surprised Lin Zuoguan.

According to his original idea, he had to wait for the internal rectification of the association to be completed before he began to exert pressure on the halls on the east bank of Taihu Lake.

Force these halls to join the new Wulian, and completely unify the tens of miles of rivers and lakes from Taihu Lake to Xumen.

Gao Changjiang dutifully played the role of a military adviser, twirling his beard, and said very wisely:
"Where there are abnormalities, there must be demons. There are more or less shadows of the Dongting Merchant Gang behind these halls! Now that the pace is so unified, someone must be exerting influence."

Lin Tailai said impatiently: "If you can't tell me something I don't know, go write your plan for the establishment of the city management office and the detailed rules for charging!

In addition to collecting sanitation fees copied from the fish market, can you have some new ideas?
If you don't even collect fees, this society has no future! "

Then Lin Zuoguan went out and went into the city to visit the leader of the Renewal Society.

However, after Mr. Lin left the academy, he was blocked by the Wannian Bridge outside the Xu Gate after only walking for 5 minutes.

That's right, Mr. Lin met the legendary "Morning Peak".

In most cities in the world, the urban area is inside the city wall, and the wilderness is outside the city.

But Suzhou is different. The city walls, especially the west city walls, are densely populated and commercially prosperous. The outside of the city walls is even more prosperous than the inside of the city walls.

Therefore, the city gate of Suzhou has a lot of traffic. When the city gate was first opened in the morning, countless people were waiting to enter or leave the city, causing the city gate to be very congested.

Even though Mr. Lin has beaten the invincible opponents all over Suzhou, he can only stand honestly at the head of the Wannian Bridge at this time.

Among all the gates in Suzhou, only Xumen has no water gate. The bridge outside Xumen across the moat is called Wannian Bridge.

Mr. Lin, who was stuck in a dilemma, was so bored that he began to admire the Wannian Bridge, and casually said to the Zhang family brothers:

"The shape of this bridge is pretty good, it should be a famous bridge too?"

A person next to him answered, "Mr. Lin has as good a vision as a certain Chief Assistant!"

Lin Tailai: "???"

Is this what it feels like to be famous, when you say something casually, and someone flatters you out of thin air?
But is it a bit too much to compare yourself with the first minister?

The man said again: "It is said that when the first assistant passed by Suzhou, he also admired the shape of this bridge very much.

Then, in order to curry favor with Shoufu, the local officials tore down the bridge and transported it to Shoufu's hometown. "

Official Lin was about to ask "Who is this Chief Assistant", but found that the speaker had disappeared into the crowd.

I heard another person nearby commenting: "I know, this chief assistant is Yan Song."

Officer Lin: "."

Then he explained to the Zhang family brothers: "Although Mr. Yan Ge is a traitor, he should not be so low-ranking.

In my opinion, the style of this rumor is more like that of Hei Yansong, a commoner. "

The Zhang family brothers nodded repeatedly: "There is no need to explain, we all understand that the taste of sitting in the restaurant is no worse than that of Yan Ge!"

As time went by, the crowd blocking the city gate gradually loosened, and Mr. Lin followed the endless stream of people to the gate of Xumen.

Today, in addition to the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, there are also some yamen servants standing outside the gate.

In fact, it is not surprising that there are yamen servants at the gate of the city, but Mr. Lin always feels that these yamen servants are familiar.

After recalling it a few times, I suddenly remembered that these are the government servants of Changzhou County!
When I entered Changzhou County alone in the battle of fame, all the people I met face to face were all defeated by myself!

General officials and yamen are not allowed to cross the border, but today the Changzhou county yamen dared to go to the city gate of the boundary of Wu County, which is abnormal and suspicious!

"Murderous!" Official Lin shouted vigilantly!
Then he rushed up and grabbed a yamen servant first to serve as a hostage.

One of the captors hid far away and shouted: "The surnamed Lin has lost his mind and gone crazy. What are you doing?"

Lin Tailai asked back: "What are you going to do? Don't you want to ambush me in the city gate?"

The head catcher was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he still patiently explained: "Xinzhi County is here today, and I will be waiting at the gate of the city!"

The military officer who was on duty today, Mr. Nian, also appeared and persuaded: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Lin Tailai was stunned, and let go of the yamen servant in his hand.

It turned out that they were here to greet Xinzhi County of Changzhou County, so it's all right.

The canal is on the west side of Suzhou City, and the city gates on the west side belong to Wu County, so when the magistrate of Changzhou County took office, he must pass through the boundary of Wu County and enter the city from the boundary of Wu County.

In early April, there was a vacancy in the magistrate of Wu County, and Mr. Deng, the former magistrate of Changzhou County, was transferred to Wu County. Now it is normal for a new magistrate of Changzhou County to come.

Lin Tailai, who was very interested in the other half of Suzhou City, asked casually, "Who are you from Xinzhi County?"

The head catcher replied: "I heard that the name is Yuan Hongdao."

Fuck!Lin Tailai was taken aback, this literary tycoon is still here.

Although Yuan Hongdao is average in officialdom, he has strong cultural soft power.

This is one of the three Yuans of the famous Public Security School, and he is the most famous one, who has studied in middle school textbooks.

In today's literary world, the Gong'an faction can be regarded as one of the main forces of the repetition of the ancient faction.

In the post-Wang Shizhen era, Yuan Hongdao was also one of the important figures who overturned the hegemony of the retro school!

For Lin Daguan, who takes the Anti-Ancient School as his banner, this literary figure can be regarded as a fellow.

If there is a butterfly effect, this should be the biggest butterfly effect so far, right?

Originally in history, Yuan Hongdao should have been to Dangzhi County of Wu County, but now he has changed to Changzhou County next door, many years earlier.

Lin Tailai entered the city from Xumen, thinking about something, while continuing to walk west.

The Zhang family brothers quickly reminded: "Sit in the hall! This is not the way to Shen's mansion!"

If you want to go to Shenfu, you should turn north.

Official Lin said willfully, "I won't go to the Shen Mansion today!"

The brothers of the Zhang family looked ahead and said in confusion, "But there is no famous concubine at the Yinma Bridge."

Official Lin didn't bother to talk to these two yellow-headed subordinates, and continued to move forward.

Not long after, Mr. Lin arrived at Yinma Bridge.

Wu County and Changzhou County have many boundary bridges in the city, but Yinma Bridge is the closest one to the Changzhou County Government.

At this time, near the bridgehead in the direction of Changzhou County, hundreds of people had already gathered in three circles and three circles outside. It was obvious that they were welcoming people from Xinzhi County at the "county boundary".

It is not surprising that new officials have such a ceremony when they take office.

Among the welcome crowd, the core group of people is of course the representatives of the county's gentry.

Lin Tailai took a few glances, and sure enough, he found Zhang Youyu's elder brother Zhang Fengyi in the crowd.

So Lin Tailai squeezed past, walked up to Zhang Fengyi, and exchanged greetings: "I don't want to meet old Mr. Lingxu here!"

Zhang Fengyi smiled and said: "Have Jinbu ever met my younger brother? He said he wanted to find you."

Lin Tailai said with a smile: "Old Mr. Youyu will stay with me and won't leave. Mister Lingxu might as well pay for his board and lodging expenses."

Zhang Fengyi waved his hand and said, "I sold him to you! Look at the price!"

After talking nonsense for a while, Zhang Fengyi suddenly noticed that Lin Tailai seemed to be standing here and didn't want to leave, it didn't look like he was about to leave after saying hello.

Can't help but ask: "What's the matter here?"

Lin Tailai looked to the west and said, "Isn't this Xinzhi County's appointment? I will also attend the welcoming ceremony."

Zhang Fengyi: "."

This is the magistrate of Changzhou County, what does it have to do with you, a good citizen of Wu County?
Could it be that Lin Zuoguan has stabilized his power in Wu County, and thought that the other half of Suzhou City, Changzhou County, has expanded?
Worried that the number one hero in Suzhou City in front of him would cause trouble, Zhang Fengyi persuaded:

"The people who attended the welcome ceremony today were all selected in advance by the county government and reviewed by Xinzhi County. Why do you want to add trouble?"

Lin Tailai asked: "Old Mr. Lingxu, a celebrity like you, you should have the face of carrying a younger generation, right?
Or is it that you don't have enough sympathy and status in the county to bring people along? "

Zhang Fengyi said helplessly: "You first promise the old man that you are not allowed to run into the county magistrate."

Lin Tailai obediently and obediently agreed to everything.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs beating to clear the way, and then the shouts of the yamen servants.

Immediately, a big official sedan chair caught everyone's eyes, and the sedan chair got off after passing the Yinma Bridge and entering the border of Changzhou County.

Yuan Hongdao of Xinzhi County is less than thirty years old. He is handsome and energetic, and he is not at all as calm or stable as ordinary parents and officials.

The reception of people and things is also very free and easy. Compared with Dangzhi County, it is more like a celebrity traveling.

Accompanying the person who came to Yuanzhi County to take up the post, Lin Tailai unexpectedly also knew Li Jixuan, a wealthy and social celebrity in Jiangbei Zhenzhou named Qinglian!
I don't know how Li Jixuan and Yuan Hongdao got together. Lin Tailai guessed that it might be that after Li Jixuan left the retro sect, he turned around and joined the Gong'an faction.

From the fact that Yuan Hongdao asked Li Jixuan to accompany him to take office, one can also imagine Yuan Hongdao's personal style.

After getting off the sedan chair, Yuan Zhixian said to the gentry: "I have heard for a long time that Gusu is an elegant place in the world, and I have longed for it in my heart.

I don't want to be lucky enough to go to Gusu to be an order now, but I can enjoy the scenery of Wuzhong, and my wish will finally be fulfilled! "

To this tone, the experienced local old gentry couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know how to answer the words for a while.

It seems that before the county magistrate Yuan came to Suzhou, he did not ask his colleagues for advice on being an official in Suzhou.

Suzhou can be a very cool place, and celebrities will be very happy when they come here; but if you come here to be an official, it's not necessarily so.

If he figured it out, there are many unruly people like Lin Tailai in Suzhou City, and they have to burn out every year for money and food, I'm afraid he won't feel very happy to be an official in Suzhou.

Facing Xinzhi County, which is still excited and full of fantasies, everyone who knows the "inside story" needs to carefully consider how to talk.

Someone in the crowd suddenly said: "Wu Zhong got Shi Gong as his order. From now on, there are elders in the five lakes, Dongting has a king, wine has a master, tea has a confidant, and the father gives a speech, and Shi has an elder!"

confidant!Yuan Zhixian only felt that these few words seemed to speak to his heart, and it felt like he was speaking for himself!

Looking along the sound, I saw a huge figure standing like an iron tower among the crowd.

"Who is this?" Yuan Zhixian asked Zhang Fengyi who was relatively close to him.

The identity of the official Lin was too complicated, Zhang Fengyi was in doubt for a while, and then introduced: "This is Wuxian Wusheng, the head of this year's government trial case, and the chief official of Mudu Port Branch Lin Tailai."

Yuanzhi County: "."

The head of the samurai Jiawen case?It is indeed a place of fashion in the south of the Yangtze River, and the character settings are so wild!

Li Jixuan also pointed at Lin Tailai, and smiled at Yuan Zhixian: "Do you ever remember an allusion that Tang Linchuan told you in Nanjing?
The old Mr. Zhang Lingxu can't leave his mouth, but this person can't leave his fist. Lin Tailai is also a visiting professor of literature at the school book office! "

Yuan Zhixian shook his head, and had a deeper understanding of the fashionability of Suzhou people.

But something seems wrong!Yuan Zhixian asked again: "People from Wu County, why are they here?"

Lin Tailai separated the crowd blocking the way, strode forward, and replied: "I have admired the name of the Public Security School for a long time, and I specially crossed the county to see Yuan Shigong's demeanor!"

Repressing the idea of ​​asking for the school's official literature, Yuan Zhixian coughed, and said something serious to the crowd:
"When the county was on the road, I heard that there was a lot of rain in the plum season this year, and I was always worried about the county people.

Now that I have taken office, I want to open a farm to help the farmers, borrow food from the people who are in trouble, and return it after autumn! "

This is also very normal. New officials must establish their image when they take office.

However, the county magistrate replied: "Since last year's flood disaster, the government has ordered that all Jinong warehouses in all counties be directly dispatched by the government, and the counties do not need to manage Jinong warehouses."

Yuan Zhixian felt that his image was hindered, and said a little angrily: "It's really unnecessary, then report to the government office to open a warehouse!"

The county magistrate said helplessly: "The government government has issued an order before that the current waterlogging is not serious, so it is not allowed to open economic farms!"

No one else was talking, and things in the warehouse are generally complicated, so don't interrupt if you don't do your own business.
