Daming talker

Chapter 168 The Governor Arriving Early

Lin Tailai sent Zhang Wen to take his men to the town to take over the hall, and then he personally led twenty archers and twenty Hekuai to guard the prisoners while sitting on the pier by the river bank to interrogate the short and strong man.

After the interrogation, Lin Tailai learned that this short and strong man was called Meng Shixiong, who was originally from a boatman in Taihu Lake. He joined the Hu'an Church more than ten years ago, and now he is the second leader of the Hu'an Church.

Then Lin Tailai said unhurriedly: "It's okay to forgive you, but according to the rules of the world, don't you have to present the vote first?"

It makes sense for the trend of voting for certificates to become popular. Otherwise, how can people who meet for the first time quickly build initial trust?
Meng Shixiong may be "killed and rebelled" if he doesn't submit his vote. He has no choice at the moment, so he can only open his mouth and say:

"I also ask the high officials to order you to come down, as long as you don't harm your brothers and cousins, I will try my best to do it."

Lin Tailai nodded, approvingly said: "Okay, it's great if you have this attitude!"

While he was talking, he saw that the big boat god Wei Lieshui was already leaning on the riverside wharf.

Then I saw Wang Zhidu and Yuan Hongdao, two masters traveling in low clothes, got off the boat with dark faces under the guard of a dozen yamen servants.

If the two masters are in a good mood, they will be in a hell. They are happily traveling, but they are inexplicably surrounded by a group of bad guys. It would be hard to change anyone!
Official Lin yelled secretly, someone more difficult to serve is coming!I had no choice but to leave Meng Shixiong behind and go to meet the two masters.

No matter what the reason was, Mr. Lin admitted his mistake first when he went up: "The river is not calm, which surprised the two masters. It is all the fault of me, the tax official!"

Wang Zhi was very upset and shouted: "You little Fengxian, did you deliberately plan to use Master Yuan and me as bait to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Official Lin immediately called Tian Qu: "I still have a lot of respect for the two masters, so how could I deliberately put the two masters into danger.

Besides, if I want to destroy Hu'an Hall, it's like sweeping a hole in a courtyard, and I don't need any extra tricks at all!
Unexpectedly, the prince misunderstood me so much, it was snowing in July, a huge injustice, I wished I could throw myself into the river to prove my innocence! "

Wang Zhidu frowned and said, "Then it seems like a coincidence?"

Lin Tailai quickly answered, "Everything is really a coincidence! Who would have thought that someone would attack Shenwei Lieshui as me!"

Mr. Lin's words secretly mean that the Shenwei Lieshui was borrowed by your king's capital on a temporary basis today, and I didn't force it to you.

If you still say that I deliberately designed you, it is simply a backlash.

Wang Zhidu had nothing to say, and Yuan Hongdao persuaded him, "It's just a small incident of misunderstanding, don't spoil You Xing!
The county government got a report yesterday that the governor will be returning to Suzhou City in three days, so I don't have much time to play. "

Official Lin was very surprised, and said in a slip of the tongue: "The governor returned to Suzhou City, why didn't I know? No one notified me?"

Yuan Hong said: "."

Dare I ask you what rank official Lin Tailai is?What is the relationship between the big official of the feudal border and the small tax official when he returns to Suzhou?Why should I notify you of a mere military student?Do you think a crime-solving leader can get on the stage?

Lin Tailai hastily added: "I'm just surprised that the time for the governor to return to Suzhou is a bit earlier than usual.

In previous years, I would go back to Suzhou before the autumn harvest in August and September, but I didn’t expect to come back in July this year. "

Yuan Hongdao said disapprovingly: "You really think a lot, and it's not too strange to be a month or two earlier!"

The official Lin stopped talking. A dignified writer is so insensitive to officialdom trends, no wonder his official career is not so good!

Zuo protector Zhang Wen, who came back from cleaning the lake's dignified entrance, was thoughtful when he saw this scene.

Zhang Wu, the protector on the right, asked in a low voice: "Tell me, the two lords were besieged. Was it designed by us sitting in the hall?"

Zhang Wen scolded softly with a very stern attitude: "Shut up! Don't talk about this if you want to live!"

Zhang Wu was just standing there bored and asked casually, but when he saw his brother's attitude, he immediately became agitated.

I couldn't help thinking about it carefully, but the more I thought about it, the more doubts I found.

Knowing that his opponent Xi's family was on the boat on the other side, Lin Zuoguan didn't rush to kill people as he did most of the time, instead he made a move to capture the thief first and capture the king first.

When troops were dispatched in Mudu Town to attack Hu'antang in Xukou Town, although Lin Zuoguan clamored for a surprise attack, he didn't pay much attention to secrecy.

Before departure, Lin Zuoguan had to review the team on the pier, and waited for the Shenwei Lieshui to leave first before taking the team on board.

Is it a coincidence, or a deliberate layout?Probably only Lin Zuoguan knew the truth in his heart.

Although Zhang Wu is not as smart as his elder brother, he is not stupid enough to ask Lin Zuoguan what the truth is, as long as some ideas are rotten in his heart.

In the end, Lin Tailai said sadly to Wang Zhidu and Yuan Hongdao: "Nobody wants this kind of thing to happen.

The consequences are serious, and the lessons are profound. I must seriously review, pay close attention to implementation, and immediately carry out a [-]-day special campaign to clean up the river."

These words made the boss Wang Zhidu listen to his head, and waved his hand: "Since it is a misunderstanding, then there is no need to mention it!"

Lin Tailai replied: "This matter has sounded the alarm bell for me. If the alarm bell rings continuously in the future, it is inevitable that this matter will be brought up repeatedly. Today is considered as an advance notice to the two masters."

The gentry, who were safe and sound, continued to swim in the mountains and rivers, while Mr. Lin, who had carried a lot of things, was still busy with his life.

Uncle Song, who has gradually gained more experience in "receiving" recently, was called over again and temporarily stationed in Xukou Town.

Mr. Lin, on the other hand, returned to Mudu Port, sat in town for a day without any major incidents, and then returned to Suzhou City to meet Second Master Shen.

"The government office disagrees with the new construction of the city gate." Second Lord Shen said a little angrily.

Senior official Lin sighed: "I really doubt your ability as a son of Zaifu now.

You can't even handle such a good project that benefits the city, the people, and both fame and fortune? "

A national-level second generation can't even run a municipal-level engineering project, and his combat effectiveness is scumbag enough.

Regarding his dignity as the second generation of the country, Second Master Shen absolutely refused to take the blame, and said angrily:

"How can the responsibility rest on me? It's your fault! The city gate project was originally hoped to be passed, but you proposed to use the Jinong Warehouse in Wu County, so the government office objected!"

Lin Tailai retorted: "A project like building a new city gate is not as simple as building a champion archway for your family!
Not only do we need to open the land gate and water gate, but we also need to add urns outside, and we need to build new bridges on the moat!
Therefore, the entire project volume can be regarded as huge. If there is no Jinong warehouse for storage, how can there be enough funds?
Without the subsidy of Jinong warehouse, how much money can be donated even by persuasion? "

Second Lord Shen habitually said in a fit of anger, "Then what do you say!"

Lin Tailai replied: "Of course I will continue to put pressure on the government."

Second Master Shen couldn't help laughing and said: "You sent a few disaster victims to kneel at the gate of the government office to beg to open warehouses, but it didn't seem to be of much use.

What I saw with my own eyes was that the yamen servants were blown away, and then there was no more. "

Lin Tailai thought for a while and said: "Then continue to upgrade and pressurize!

I heard that the governor will arrive in Suzhou soon, so we can gather more victims and go to Fengqiao Town to wait! "

The etiquette of welcoming and sending off in the officialdom is very particular. Fengqiao Town is ten miles away from Suzhou City, which is exactly in line with the etiquette of welcoming people ten miles out of the city.

And even better, Fengqiao Town is located at the junction of Wu County and Changzhou County, which is more conducive to the presence of officials from the two counties together.

Therefore, when a big shot comes to Suzhou City, the first welcome ceremony is usually outside Fengqiao.

The locals know that if you want to block the road and complain, you must go to Fengqiao to block the boss.

Second Master Shen still understood the rules of the officialdom, so he immediately expressed his disapproval.

"It's useless if you ask the victims to go to the governor, don't you understand the word "protection between officials and officials?"

Under normal circumstances, the governor would certainly not blame the government for the sake of a few victims. "

Senior official Lin sighed: "Second Master, you should go to the project, other things are not suitable for you.

The purpose of letting those disaster victims make trouble is not to force the government or the governor to give in. How could these officials directly give in to the people?

As long as there are so many people making trouble, it is enough for the purpose of creating momentum.With these potentials, you can use the potential to use your strength.

For example, Yuanzhi County in Changzhou County can take advantage of the problem, forcibly take over the county's Jinong warehouse, or use contacts to exert pressure, isn't there a reason?
Even you, Second Master Shen, don't you have an excuse to write to your father to sue?If there is no momentum, even if your father wants to help, what reason is there to exert pressure? "

Second Lord Shen waved his hand, "Okay, okay! I'm not here to listen to your lecture!"

Lin Tailai sighed again and said: "And I always feel that this governor is not normal.

So it's good to find a few victims of the disaster to test it out and see what's wrong. "

Second Master Shen was stunned, you, Mr. Lin, take yourself too seriously, don't you?

What does it have to do with you, a small official and military student, whether a big official in the frontier is normal or not?
But Second Lord Shen still asked, "What's wrong?"

There are more than [-] permanent governors in this big world, which can be roughly divided into two types: inland governors and border town governors.

Among them, there are a few special ones, and Governor Yingtian is one of them.

Governor Yingtian, also known as Governor Jiangnan, also known as Governor Su Song, is special not only because of the special place in Nanzhili, but also because of its special attributes.

Generally, the official post of the governor is "the governor of a certain place and the admiral of military affairs", which begins with "the governor".

The governor of Yingtian is "the prime minister's grain storage, the admiral of military affairs and the governor of Yingtian and other houses", which starts with "the prime minister's grain storage", and the format is completely different.

This shows that Yingtian's job as the governor is to supervise the money and food in the south of the Yangtze River, but the governor of the southern provinces is only a part-time job.

Still the same sentence, money and food in the south of the Yangtze River are too important to the imperial court. This is the lifeblood of the imperial court, so it is worth setting up officials for it.

If you think about it, you will know that half of the 400 million shi grains related to the imperial court's food came from Jiangnan, and one-sixth came from Suzhou.

Subdividing it further down, about one-fiftieth came from Wu County, and one-fiftieth came from the site of Xin Wulian, a member of Lin Daguan (after the alliance in Mudu Town).

If Lin Daguan expands in Changzhou County next door, it will not be a big problem to achieve the achievement of "one percent grain".

All in all, in order to better collect money and food in Suzhou, in recent years, Governor Yingtian has been stationed in an uncertain place and often moves between Nanjing and Suzhou.

Generally, before the autumn harvest, Governor Yingtian would be stationed in Suzhou to personally supervise the grain harvest in the south of the Yangtze River, and then stay until the next spring when the grain was transported.

In the end, Lin Tailai concluded to Shen Erye: "So if we follow the usual practice, we should come back in August and September, and now it's only July. Of course it's not normal."

After separating from Lin Tailai, Shen Yongjia returned to the mansion, only to find Fan Yunlin, Xu's son-in-law, waiting for him.

Shen Yongjia and Fan Yunlin are "relatives" of the same age. Shen Yongjia needed help to support the family at a young age, and the two had a lot of contacts in the past.

Otherwise, when Lin Tailai blocked Shen's Yizhuang, Fan Yunlin smashed Lin Tailai's entrance.

But since Shen Yongjia and Lin Tailai got closer, the contact between Fan Yunlin and Shen Yongjia has decreased a lot.

So Shen Yongjia was a little surprised that Fan Yunlin came suddenly without saying hello today.

Fan Yunlin said straight to the point: "I came here today to remind you that someone is going to deal with Lin Tailai."

Shen Yongjia laughed and said, "Is this worth mentioning? When will no one want to deal with Lin Tailai?"

Fan Yunlin didn't smile, and said very seriously: "But according to my analysis, this time Lin Tailai is probably doomed."

Shen Yongjia also frowned and asked, "You participated?"

Fan Yunlin didn't answer directly, "I also want to remind you, it's best to break up with Lin Tailai as early as possible.

As far as what Lin Tailai did, it would be a lot of crimes if someone opened up the old account.

And you have a close relationship with Lin Tailai, I'm afraid you will be messed with, after all others think you are Lin Tailai's backer.

Although that little thing can't do anything to you, Mr. Zaifu, but after being stained, how can you know that someone with a heart will not use it to attack your father? "

As soon as Fan Yun came to the point, he did his "relative" duty to remind here, and didn't reveal too much.

Shen Yongjia sent Fan Yunlin away, and fell into deep thought.

Fan Yunlin didn't make it clear who was going to deal with Lin Tailai, so he could only guess wildly.

And it is not certain whether it has something to do with the upcoming governor.

In the situation where nothing is certain, even if you want to inform Lin Tailai, it is hard to say.

So Shen Yongjia thought about going to attend the welcoming ceremony for the governor.After the governor arrives, we'll see what's going on.

If there are any signs, just say hello to Lin Tailai and tell him to run away quickly, so as not to hurt Wei Guangzheng himself!
Wei Lin, the current governor of Yingtian, who is missed by many people in Suzhou City, is 59 and a half years old this year, half a year away from 60 years old. This age is very important.

According to the Ming system, officials can take the initiative to "beg for bones" and retire when they reach the age of 60.

Of course, if you don’t want to retire, you can continue working. Retirement is entirely voluntary. The system does not force you to retire when you are old.

However, Governor Wei did not intend to continue his official career. His health is not very good, and his high-level relations are not strong enough.

Being able to be the third-rank Yingtian governor has already reached the peak of qualifications, and there is no hope of continuing to move forward.

So after half a year, at the age of [-], I will retire and return to my hometown to take care of my life.

After working hard for Daming Jiangshan all his life, it is not an exaggeration to earn more money for retirement in the last half year, right?
