Daming talker

Chapter 231

Outside the gate of Yilaoyuan, after exchanging harsh words with Wang Yusheng, Mr. Lin didn't take it seriously.

According to the scheduled plan, I went to Nancheng again to inspect Canglang Pavilion on the spot.

Speaking of the economy and culture of Suzhou City at this time, the west and north directions are the most developed, and the main business districts are in these two directions, while the east city and south city are relatively weak.

So if you walk south from the city, you will find that there are fewer and fewer commercial shops.

When you arrive in the south of the city, comparing the north and the west of the city, you will have an obvious sense of desertion, and you can even see large tracts of vegetable gardens.

Gao Changjiang pointed to a corner of the wall exposed on the opposite side of the river in front of him, and introduced the situation: "The Canglang Pavilion is in front, and the Dayun Temple is to the east, and the Canglang Pavilion is now attached to the Dayun Temple. To the west is Suzhou Fufu School."

The layout of Canglang Pavilion is different from all other gardens. It is surrounded by water, with mountains in the middle, and only one bridge can lead to the garden.

Another special feature is that there is not only the Canglang Pavilion in the Canglang Pavilion Garden, but also a Guanshan Pavilion close to the south wall.

It is said that this is the commanding height in the city. Standing at the Kanshan Pavilion, you can even see Lingyan Mountain in Mudu Town outside the city.

Lin Tailai did not enter the garden, but walked around the entire Canglang Pavilion garden.

Then he couldn't help but marvel and said: "The layout of this garden is really like a small castle, with a moat around the outside, and there are two rockeries in the garden, one in the south and one in the north.

If we can take this place, as long as the courtyard wall is heightened and strengthened, it can really be used as a castle. It is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack!
Such a good place should not be used as a community hall, but let the monks occupy it, it is a waste of money. "

Gao Changjiang: "."

Is your focus of attention abnormal when sitting in the hall?What I see in my eyes is the garden, and what I think about in my heart is the attack and defense of the castle. Don't you think it's burning the piano and cooking the crane?

Also, you want to live in a fortress in the city, how lacking is this sense of security?

Then Mr. Lin stood outside the gate of Dayun Nunnery and watched for a while.

Although the name of this place is "An", in fact, there are monks in it, and it can be regarded as a small temple, so it is called "An".

Lin Tailai turned and left thoughtfully, and said, "I've seen enough for today, so let's stop here."

Gao Changjiang said in surprise: "Since you are sitting in the museum for field inspection, why don't you go in and have a look?"

Mr. Lin waved his hand and said, "You don't need to look inside. What you want is Canglang Pavilion's centuries-old history and reputation. It doesn't matter what's inside."

Then Lin Tailai pointed to the outer wall of the Canglang Pavilion Garden, pretending to be profound and said to Gao Changjiang:
"Actually, you've seen everything you need to see. Have you seen a way to defeat the enemy?"

Gao Changjiang was in a daze, he didn't even go in, he just walked around outside, what could he see?
Senior official Lin sighed in disappointment: "You have no progress like this, how can I trust you to entrust the heavy responsibility to you?"

But after going through so much, now Gao Changjiang has gradually developed resistance to PUA.

And the word "heavy duty" instinctively gave rise to a lot of resentment.

Immediately responded: "Anyway, my main task is to spread rumors. I don't even think about any important tasks."

Lin Tailai said earnestly again: "I originally wanted to hand over all the affairs of Nancheng development and the Canglangting area to you."

Gao Changjiang said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to leave it to me. I am also very good in Nanhao Street. I have food and drink, I am respected by others, and I am at ease."

Lin Tailai said angrily: "I'm still working hard in my twenties, but you want to lie flat when you're only in your 30s?
Who has been teaching you bad lately?Who dares to spread the idea of ​​lying down to the backbone of the society? "

Gao Changjiang replied: "Grandpa Lin from Linsong Village, Hengtang Township taught me that most of people's troubles come from dissatisfaction.

As long as you recognize your mediocre nature and are willing to accept this mediocrity, the world in front of you will widen. "

Lin Tailai: "."

This Gao Changjiang can't take it anymore, and for some reason, he is a bit abnormal.

The Zhang family brothers quickly smoothed things over and said, "Let's sit in the hall and teach us two brothers a lot. What did you see after walking around?"

Lin Daguanren, who failed in PUA, could only put away his words and start talking directly:
"Look at the exterior wall, white walls and black tiles, exquisite leaky windows, and there are hardly any signs of damage in such a long courtyard wall.

Looking at the small bridge in front of the gate, the railings are exquisite and can also be well maintained.

After reading these outside, do you realize the problem? "

The Zhang family brothers were at a loss together, and still didn't understand what they wanted to express by sitting in the hall.

Lin Tailai could only analyze it alone and said: "It's like this on the outside, you don't need to look inside, it's definitely not that bad!
This is a garden covering an area of ​​[-] mu. Although I don't understand the cost of maintaining the garden, it must be a lot, and most people can't afford it.

And this maintenance fee is not a one-time expense, but every year.

It has been 30 years since the Canglang Pavilion was rebuilt in the Jiajing Dynasty, right?
Being able to rebuild 30 acres of gardens and maintain them meticulously for [-] years shows that the monks in Dayun Temple are very rich, and they are still getting a steady stream of income.

Then the question arises, where does such a small temple get the money? "

It has been reminded to this point, if Gao Changjiang still can't guess, then he is really a fool.

He blurted out: "Loan lending!"

If it is a temple in the mountains and forests outside the city, it may be possible to obtain a stable income through the rent of the land.

If it is a large temple in a city with extremely strong incense, it can be regarded as a high income.

But a small temple in a city like Dayun Temple doesn't have much incense or land rent income, so where does it come from for its stable and high income?

After much deliberation, there is only money lending. After all, usury is a traditional art skill of Buddhist temples that has lasted for thousands of years.

Lin Tailai looked back at Dayun Temple, and concluded: "This may be the breakthrough point, and the strategy of defeating the enemy may be cut from here!"

The brothers of the Zhang family suddenly realized it when they heard this. They never thought that they could infer this much by just looking at the outer wall of the garden and the bridge at the entrance!

As the two elders who have followed Zouguan for the longest time, the Zhang family brothers have seen the insight of Zouguan many times with their own eyes, but they still feel admiration.

Lin Tailai ordered Gao Changjiang: "Don't say I won't give you a chance, this time I will completely leave it to you to manage independently.

No matter what method you use, I will not interfere with you. I can allocate manpower and material resources to you, and I can also use the official position for you.

But I only want one result, and that is to win the Canglang Pavilion!

If you do well, it can also prove that you can stand alone. "

Having said that, Gao Changjiang became a little interested, "Does sitting in the restaurant really not interfere with my work?
But every time you talk about delegating power, when do you really let it go? "

Zuo Protector Zhang Wen said, "Don't worry, Lao Gao! The Spring Festival is coming soon. After the beginning of spring next year, either the Academy of Arts will recruit scholars, or the Beijing Normal University Martial Arts Examination will select Wu Jinshi.

Facing such a heavy exam task, how can you have the energy to do other things in the library? You may not be in Suzhou, let alone take care of you! "

"I'll take this job!" Gao Changjiang agreed immediately, "I'll definitely get good news after the exam is over!"

After the deployment of the new city gate and the Canglang Pavilion, the work of Mr. Lin for this year will be completely over.

He also greeted the leaders of each business line and distributed all the New Year's money that should be distributed.

Then Mr. Lin went back to his old house in Linsong Village, Hengtang Town, and prepared for the New Year with peace of mind.

Although he has several residences, he can only spend the New Year in the old house, with his parents and the families of his three older brothers.

This year, the Lin family had a fat year for the first time, and they even discussed going to Huqiu for a visit.

Most of Lin Tailai's relatives are in Linsong Village, and the New Year's greetings were finished in one day.

Father Lin reminded: "You said you know a lot of noble people in the city, so why don't you visit them tomorrow?"

Officer Lin replied: "I'm too sensitive these days, I can't go to the city."

"Playing tricks!" Father Lin couldn't help cursing.

According to the customs of Suzhou City, the most lively places in the city during the New Year's festival are the Xuanmiao Temple in the north of the city and the East and West Market.

And the busiest place outside the city is the line from Shantang Street in the northwest to Huqiu, which is even more lively than the city.

I don't know why, but Huqiu has a special status in Suzhou festivals in this era.

Regardless of whether it is the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Spring Festival, as long as it is a festival, Suzhou people like to get together at Tiger Hill outside the city.

In addition to those who go to and from the city to visit relatives and friends during the New Year, the population flow inside and outside Suzhou must be on the order of [-] in the past few days during the Spring Festival.

Moreover, most of these population flows are concentrated in the west and north.

With Changmen as the core and Xumen as the wings, the traffic pressure on the northwest city gate can be imagined.

Anyway, Mr. Lin is not going into the city these days, so he doesn't care whether there is a traffic jam or not.

Many people always involuntarily think of the new city gate built between Changmen and Xumen when the Xumen of Changmen is blocked.

It is a pity that although the new city gate has been repaired, it is still blocked by the Yi Laoyuan of the Dongshan Wang family and cannot pass through.

Ordinary things have nothing to do with oneself, and most people don't say anything.

But when he was anxiously blocked, thinking that the newly built city gate could not be used, he gradually accumulated anger.

In this Yilaoyuan, which is talked about by countless people, the owners Wang Youren, Wang Yusheng and his son also returned to the old house in Dongshan Lujiaxiang to celebrate the New Year a few years ago.

It was not until the second day of the first lunar month that the father and son returned to their residence in Yilaoyuan in the city.

Wang Youren told his son Wang Yusheng: "Next spring, the great master will come to Suzhou City. From today on, you should stop meddling in trivial matters and prepare for the exam with all your strength!"

Wang Yusheng agreed and obeyed his father's order.

Wang Youren also encouraged and said: "My Wang family has enjoyed the shadow of Duke Wen Ke for two generations, the king's favor will have its end, and the future is all on you!

If the Wang family has a Jinshi fame here today, how can a jumping beam like Lin Tailai be bullied repeatedly? "

Wang Yusheng said worriedly: "Recently, I heard that there are many criticisms against my Wang family in the streets and alleys."

"That's not important!" Wang Youren said loudly, "A few mayflies can't shake the Zhuguo Square outside the south gate and the Tianguan Square outside the north gate!"

The next day, just as it was getting dark, Wang Yu was woken up by his slaves.

And reported: "The west wall and north wall of the North Garden were damaged last night, several sections were demolished, and there were gaps of several feet in each section!"

Wang Yusheng lost all sleepiness immediately, and asked in surprise, "Who did it?"

The slave replied: "I heard a noise in the early morning. When I went to look at it, the person ran away. I don't know who it is."

Although Yilaoyuan occupies a large area, it is roughly divided into two parts.

The southern half is mainly for living and practical use, while the northern half is mainly for play and viewing, which is what the slaves call the North Garden.

Under normal circumstances, the master and servant of the Wang family live in the southern half, and the northern garden is deserted at night.

Even the servants and guards who watch the night just walk around in the garden casually, and don't walk close to the walls.

Therefore, when the outer wall was demolished, it was not discovered until several sections were demolished.

Wang Yusheng hurried across the [-]-acre garden and came to the North Garden from the south.

Sure enough, I saw that several sections of the outer wall were missing, and there were gaps on the west side of the new city gate and the north side of the city!

Even the wall bricks were neatly piled up next to the city gate, and they were not thrown around on the spot.

We all know that the outer wall on the west side of Yilaoyuan is directly blocking the new city gate.

After several sections of the wall were demolished, the wind from the opening of the new city gate also blew into the garden.

Suddenly, a shout came from the opening of the city gate: "The new city gate is open! You can pass!"

The distance was so close that even Wang Yu's voice standing in the garden could be heard clearly.

His face changed drastically immediately, and then he saw hundreds of people rushing out of the gap in the west wall from the city gate.

What's even more frightening is that there are also people in the city who gather outside the north wall in an endless stream, as if they are eager to try the route of passing through Yilaoyuan and leaving the city through the new city gate.

The situation was urgent, and Wang Yusheng had no other choice. He walked to the gap in the west wall, opened his arms vigorously, and shouted:

"This is Dongshan Wang's property, inviolable! Wind can enter, rain can enter, common people cannot enter!"

Someone in the crowd said loudly: "Bah! What Dongshan Wang's family, the people in the whole city don't know that you are Zhang Siwei's residual poison!

It was you who colluded with the prefect to frame Lin Jieyuan!And that merchant thief Xi's family is also your ally! "

Someone else shouted: "Zhang Siwei's remaining poison dares to occupy the gate of Suzhou City and block the gate? Do you really think there is no one in Suzhou!"

Suddenly, a few people took the lead and walked into Yilaoyuan through the gap, and Wang Yusheng directed the servants to intercept them.

These people were beaten to the point of pissing their buttocks, and ran away shouting: "The Wang family beat someone!"

Someone shouted: "Zhang Siwei's remaining poison must not be rampant! I'm going to enter the city from here today!"

After constant instigation, hundreds of people poured into the North Garden of Yi Laoyuan. The key was that people kept joining in to keep up.

People who wanted to leave the city saw the gap in the outer wall of Yilaoyuan, and rushed in through the north wall one after another, and then left the city through the new city gate outside the west wall.

In a short time, thousands of people passed through Yi Lao Garden, many of them were on horseback and in carriages.

As a result, the gap opened wider and wider, and everyone nearby wanted to take a shortcut, and there was not much traffic here!
In desperation, Wang Yusheng, who tried to fill the gap with his body, was almost crushed into meatloaf by the crowd.

Fortunately, he was snatched out by the slaves desperately and carried to a safe place, so he was able to save his life.

Only then did Wang Yusheng understand how Lin Tai explained that "history is written by the masses" a few days ago!
No wonder Lin Tailai is not afraid of going to sue himself, there is no way to fight this!
He originally thought that Lin Tailai might forcefully demolish the garden, but he didn't expect that Lin Tailai didn't do it, at least on the surface.

Moreover, during the Spring Festival, there is a high flow of people, at least tens of thousands of people pass through here a day, who can sue?
It's no wonder that Lin Tailai has been tirelessly propagating that the Wang family is Zhang Siwei's residual poison. It seems useless, but in fact it is to give these people an excuse today!

With this excuse, the common people trampled through the royal garden with peace of mind!
Indistinctly, shouts came from afar: "The Lin Gate is cleared! The Lin Gate is cleared! Official Lin is helping the common people!"

　Thank you book friends for looking at the world carefully and rewarding the leader!When I saw this reward today, it was too late to add an update. I will add an update tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!The next stage of the story is about to begin!
