Chapter 311: Not much difference (please vote for me)
After Lin Daguan made the plan, he immediately wrote a letter and asked General Manager Nian to deliver it to the Duke of Wei in person, and then went directly to the front station of Yizhen to prepare for the Suzhou Guards' army to cross the river.

After that, Lin Daguan still did not stop writing, and began to write memorials in parallel and four to six lines.

Apart from having to write when taking literary exams, Mr. Lin rarely writes long essays because he finds it troublesome.

When he started writing the memorial, he realized that he was now an official and had entered the Vanity Fair network.

Therefore, I will rarely have to write memorials in the future, and there will be a lot of correspondence with all parties.

Generally, officials with greater needs in this area would hire private staff to help with chores, including ghostwriting documents, but Lin Tailai actually forgot about it.

The main reason is that it is the first time in my life to be an official. I really have no experience and no family education.

After finishing writing the memorial in accordance with the fixed format and confirming that there were no problems in avoiding taboos and addressing people, Lin Daguan sent the memorial to the Diyun Office in Zhenjiang City and arranged an urgent service for six hundred miles. .

Zhang Wen came back and asked: "Since I don't intend to solve the problem through the imperial court, why did I write another memorial?"

Official Lin replied: "Although the main focus is on military attack, civil guards cannot be left out. Military attacks and civil guards are indispensable!"

For several days after that, there seemed to be no movement among the Suzhou Guards troops who were blocked on the south bank, at least on the surface.

But a rumor spread like wildfire, causing people on both sides of the country to panic.It is said that nearly a thousand Suzhou Guards officers and soldiers are becoming resentful, and some people are planning a mutiny to seize the north and south ship locks and block the river hub.

Although rumors are limited to the wise, the leader of this Suzhou Guard Army is Lin Tailai, who has fought all over the south and north of the Yangtze River and has wounded more than a thousand people!

With the arrogance of Senior Official Lin, now that he is angry, it is entirely possible for him to do something outrageous!
It would be a terrible thing if nearly a thousand soldiers mutinied.

Outside the courtyard of Jingkou Station where Lin Daguan lived, the screams of someone being whipped could be heard every day.

It is said that Lin Daguan has been in a bad mood recently and often whipped his soldiers to vent his anger, which further aggravated the local tension.

Many business travelers who were passing through the border fled Jingkou overnight after hearing the news, and did not even stop at Guazhou on the other side to avoid suffering the disaster.

Staying away from war disasters is the basic principle of most business people, unless they are cannibals of human blood.

The tense atmosphere on both sides of the river bank at the entrance of Guazhou Jingkou has not yet spread to Yangzhou City, dozens of miles away. Music is played and dances are performed.

In the reception room of the Governor's Court in Yangzhou City, Yang Junmin, the governor of Fengyang in the north of the Yangtze River, was meeting with several Western businessmen who had settled in Yangzhou.

In the early years, due to the implementation of the Salt Law, grain was delivered to border towns in exchange for salt.

A large number of Western merchants from border towns came to Yangzhou in order to sell salt nearby. At that time, the main salt merchants were from Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Later, the Huizhou merchant gangs rose, and the Hui people came to dominate Yangzhou. However, until now, the power of Western merchants cannot be underestimated.

For the Western merchants who settled in Yangzhou, Governor Yang naturally had a certain degree of centripetal force and appeal.

After all, Governor Yang also came from a Shanxi business family, and his hometown of Puzhou is located at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, so it is also very familiar to Shaanxi people.

The five or six people summoned by Governor Yang today are all leaders of the Western merchant group in Yangzhou, equivalent to the level of Zheng Zhiyan among the Hui merchants in Yangzhou.

Facing these "fellows", Governor Yang reminded: "I have invited you here today just to tell you that Lin Tailai, who is ambitious and sharpening his sword, has already arrived at the gate of Yangzhou."

Several Western merchant leaders looked at each other, and the respected manager Sun of the Shanshan Guild Hall asked on their behalf: "We are confused, what is the purpose of Futai?"

Governor Yang said more clearly: "Lin Tailai is greedy by nature. The Zheng family has learned from others. Are you unsuspecting?"

Manager Sun didn't know if he was pretending to be stupid, and said, "Maybe Zheng Zhiyan offended him, but we Western merchants have never offended him."

Governor Yang directly pointed out the threat and said: "But it is impossible for Lin Tailai to keep raiding Huizhou merchants. After all, Lin Tailai and Huizhou merchants both belong to Nanzhili, and Huizhou merchants have a secondary assistant in the court as a backer.

So Lin Tailai brought nearly a thousand people to Yangzhou, did he come to do good deeds?

If Lin Tailai felt that it was inconvenient to attack Huizhou merchants, who could his target be if he were not Western merchants? "

Several Western merchant leaders began to discuss in a low voice. In fact, Governor Yang's words seemed to make some sense upon reflection, and were not just alarmist.

Even if Lin Tailai's thoughts are not as deep as Sima Zhao's, anyone with a little bit of judgment can guess at least a few things.

Seeing that everyone was starting to worry, Governor Yang added fuel to the fire and said, "Lin Tailai is a person who doesn't follow rules and trustworthiness! After he enters Yangzhou, can you still sleep peacefully?"

Someone subconsciously responded: "Lin Tailai may not follow the rules, but how can he not follow the rules?"

According to rumors, there are not many examples of Lin Tailai breaking his promise, but there are many examples of Lin Tailai doing what he says.

Governor Yang was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily at the man: "The one who can say this is not us old Westerners! You can get out!"

Manager Sun quickly smoothed things over and said, "Please calm down, don't follow this ignorant general view!
That is, wasn't Lin Tailai blocked on the south bank and unable to cross the river? "

The old manager still had to give him face, so Governor Yang replied: "This hospital can stop him for a while, but it cannot stop him for the rest of his life."

Manager Sun asked again: "What does Futai think we should do?"

Governor Yang sighed: "Back then, our Western merchants had two out of three points in Yangzhou; but looking at today, it would be good to have one out of three points.

If things continue like this, I am afraid that we will no longer have a foothold in Yangzhou, so we Western businessmen must unite sincerely and work together. "

Anyone who can sit here is not a fool and can hear what Governor Yang means.

To put it simply, rely on Governor Yang and make a fortune together.

This is not impossible. Governor Yang is from the same hometown and his family is also in business, so he is naturally one of his own.At the same time, Governor Yang was also a feudal official who held real power. There was no one greater than Governor Yang in Jiangbei.

Operating around power is definitely the fastest way to make a fortune, but we still have to talk about it.

Manager Sun first expressed his position: "We Westerners left our hometowns and went to Yangzhou thousands of miles away, and we have always been helpless.

I didn’t expect to see villagers patrolling Jiangbei today. It’s really not easy. Maybe it’s a great opportunity for our generation. "

Governor Yang smiled and said: "Don't say that our hospital is not sincere, I will give you a meeting gift today."

Then an entourage led the two people into the reception room. When all the Western merchants looked at them, they all recognized these two people.

One is Zheng Zhiyan, Yuanwai Zheng, and the other is Yuanwai Wang Qing, but they are both from Huizhou merchants.

But none of the Western businessmen understood why the fellow governor called two Huizhou businessmen over.

Governor Yang pointed at Yuan Wang and said to the Western merchants: "I think he may have some cooperation with you."

Wang Yuanwai took a deep breath, "We are all in the salt industry. Everyone can do their own thing. There is no need to cooperate." Governor Yang said to Wang Yuanwai calmly: "If you collude with Lin Tailai, Yangzhou City All the business gangs can’t accommodate you.

Your only way out is to take out the salt guide and cooperate with each family.

If you don't believe it, first ask your Hui Gang leader Zheng Zhiyan to see if he also agrees with this court? "

Zheng Zhiyan remained silent, acquiescing to Governor Yang's arrangement.

Wang Yuanwai's heart was cut by a knife, and he felt that he was at the most uncomfortable moment in his life of more than 40 years.

Others watched indifferently. The governor wanted to share the benefits with everyone. What reason was there for not accepting it?Who would dislike the expansion of their business?
And it's not that "the teacher came out of nowhere", colluding with Lin Tailai is the best excuse. Governor Yang has already fabricated this reason.

Who told you that Wang Yuanwai and Lin Tailai were unclear?
After all, Wang Yuanwai was still reluctant to give away most of his industrial benefits to others, and struggled to say:
"Firstly, I did not collude with Lin Tailai; secondly, I dare not bother Futai to comment on how to manage the industry."

Governor Yang said proudly: "At least in this area of ​​Jiangbei, this court can speak for itself. No one speaks louder than me!"

"boom!"

Before Governor Yang finished speaking, there was suddenly an earth-shaking loud noise coming from the direction of the procuratorate gate!

How loud is it? It's at least louder than Governor Yang's voice.

Everyone in the hall was stunned, and for a moment they didn't know what happened on the other side of the door.

As a high-ranking official in the border area, Governor Yang was very good at cultivating Qi. He was sitting on the Grand Master's chair as peacefully as a mountain, waiting for his soldiers to report the situation.

Whatever happens in the Procuratorate will definitely be reported to him as the governor as soon as possible.

But after waiting and waiting for a while, no one came to report, which made Governor Yang slightly confused.

Although there are two courtyards between the main door and this living room, reporting the news won’t be so slow, right?

Could it be that the officers and soldiers guarding the gate became stupid or died collectively?Don’t know how to report the situation inside?
Just when he was about to ask his entourage to go to the gate to check the situation, he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps again.

Then I saw a group of unfamiliar officers and soldiers appear at the entrance of the courtyard, and then walked out of the living room in a swaggering and rude manner.

After these unfamiliar officers and soldiers poked their heads into the hall to check, the leader suddenly let out a crazy scream: "Ahhhhh! I am the first to do it!"

In the reception room, everyone from Governor Yang to several business gang leaders looked confused.

They are all very intelligent people, but at this time they discovered that their brains are still not enough!
Otherwise, why can't you see what happened?
After the little leader finished screaming, he immediately shouted outside the courtyard: "Here! Governor Yang is here! My commander-in-chief, Liu Wu, found him!"

In an instant, it was like a flood bursting its banks. One to two hundred officers and soldiers poured in from outside the courtyard, filling the courtyard.

What's even more frightening is that there are actually officers and soldiers carrying firecrackers, which can explain the loud noise that came from the direction of the gate just now.

Among the officers and soldiers, a tall and majestic man wearing a military attache's red cotton armor and holding two whips in his hands was extremely eye-catching!
Governor Yang could see it clearly while sitting in the hall, and his pupils suddenly swelled!

If it weren't for hallucinations and dreams, how could Lin Tailai appear in front of him!

How did he fly across the river with his troops and land on the Yangzhou City Procuratorate?This kind of plot only exists in novels!

At this time, Official Lin was facing the living room, with his back to the sun, his face shadowed, his expression very ferocious, and his murderous intent as if he wanted to choose someone to devour!

After confirming that the governor was in the reception hall, Lin Daguan raised an iron whip, pointed it at the hall and shouted: "Destroy Thief Yang! Kill him! Behead him and reward him with a thousand gold coins!"

Damn it!Governor Yang trembled all over, Lin Tailai, can't you afford it?Official fights also lead to direct beheadings?

For a moment, Governor Yang lost control of his body and couldn't help but slide down from his seat.

The attendant immediately helped Governor Yang up and ran out of the back door of the living room with him without saying a word.

There were still a few governor's soldiers gathered in the living room, blocking the back door of the living room.

Official Lin took a few steps forward, but without making a move, he spoke first and said, "I am only looking for the thief named Yang, and it has nothing to do with you! I advise you to cherish my tolerance and not to block the car with me."

After deliberately beeping for a while, Officer Lin looked through the back door of the living room and saw that Governor Yang had walked around the pond behind and was about to climb over the back wall of the yard.

So Officer Lin whipped one by one, knocking down the governor's soldiers who were blocking the door, rushed out of the living room, and strode towards the back wall.

At the same time, he was still shouting deliberately: "Young traitor, don't leave! Take your life!"

Governor Yang, who had already stepped on his entourage's shoulders and climbed to the top of the wall, suddenly heard the ferocious screams of Lin Daguan. He shuddered again and fell directly from the top of the wall to the outside.

I don’t know what happened to Governor Yang after he fell. Anyway, Officer Lin on the other side of the wall couldn’t see it, so he felt very sorry.

Returning to the living room, several business gang leaders who could not escape were still sitting, trembling after witnessing the arrogant governor climbing over the wall and leaving.

Who would have imagined that going to the Procuratorate to meet the big boss in peacetime would encounter mutiny and life-threatening danger?
This is Yangzhou City, which has always been peaceful, and it is not a border town with swords and swords!

"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Zheng, and Mr. Wang!" Lin Daguan looked like he had just discovered an old acquaintance, "Long time no see, I miss you so much!"

Then he looked at the others a few times and guessed that the others were ministers of the imperial court, otherwise they would not be qualified to be the governor's guests.

Then he asked curiously: "Are you all businessmen? What did Governor Yang say to you just now?"

Wang, the only member who did not tremble, replied quietly: "Yang Futai said that he speaks the truth in Jiangbei, and no one can speak louder than him."

Lin Daguan said with a smile: "Theoretically speaking, this seems to be true. This is indeed the case in Jiangbei. Why, Wang Yuanwai is attracted to Governor Yang?"

Wang Yuanwai added: "Yang Futai also said, let me take out all the salt and distribute it to the cooperation of several people here!"

Official Lin suddenly turned his face and became furious. He slapped Chao Feng, the stranger who was closest to him, and shouted fiercely:

"Who dares to touch my friend Wang Yuanwai's property? Come forward and let me see. Are you tired of living or do you think you have a long life?"

Wang Yuanwai: "."

He was wrong, he was really wrong. Just now he thought that Lin Daguan was sending reinforcements from the sky.

Now it seems that this reinforcement is not much different from Governor Yang?
