Daming talker

Chapter 338: Follow the rules (please vote for me!)
Commander Wan did not expect that he would have to participate in labor in order to reap the fruits.

If someone else had said nonsense like "Help me deal with the Salt Patrol Censor", Commander Wan would have said "poof".

But the person who said this was Lin Daguan, which meant that there was a real possibility.

Do you want to gamble again for the possibility?Commander Wan felt that he was in a dilemma.

After thinking for a moment, Commander Wan asked again: "Do you have any specific measures?"

Lin Daguan said confidently: "Don't worry, I have already made a detailed plan! The first step is to challenge the Salt Affairs Yamen!
The second step is to force them intolerable, and then they will definitely fight back against me!
The third step is, you Yangzhou Guards are responsible for causing trouble! "

Commander Wan: "."

Is this the detailed plan?So detailed that there are only three sentences and dozens of words?

Official Lin said again: "The first two steps have nothing to do with you, just wait for the third step!"

Commander Wan couldn't help but ask: "I don't doubt your ability to stir up trouble, but I still want to ask, how do you plan to stir up trouble?"

Official Lin was still confident: "Isn't the Salt Transportation Department going to issue [-] new seals? I'll come and ask for it!"

Commander Wan has nothing to say. Although he is not involved in the salt industry, he still knows that the output value of five thousand nests is equivalent to ten thousand acres of fertile land.

You, Senior Official Lin, just opened your mouth to ask for five thousand Yinwo. This is not provoking trouble. This is simply flipping the table.

It is equivalent to Lu Tiha going to Zhen Guanxi to stir up trouble, asking for a thousand catties of meat just by opening his mouth.

Then he asked: "Assuming that the provocation is successful, do you know how they will fight back?"

Official Lin replied: "They are the Salt Affairs Office. If they want to retaliate against me, what other way can they do?
They can only check me for smuggling. Is it possible that they can send a hundred and eighty saltmen to arrest me?
After they finish their revenge, it will be your turn to cause trouble. "

Commander Wan didn't ask what caused the trouble in the third step, and just sighed: "Then I'll wait and see."

This means, take it one step at a time.

In fact, Commander Wan was very doubtful about whether Lin Daguan was sincere in helping the Yangzhou Guards replace Yan Ding.

Now it is obvious that Lin Daguan's thoughts are mostly focused on the five thousand guide nests.

Could it be that Official Lin just wanted to use the Yangzhou Guard as a tool to get those five thousand Yinwo?

Before leaving, Commander Wan added: "By the way, the Huanghuai River in the north has been flooded by spring floods recently. The flooding has been serious and the canal has been blocked.

Does the imperial court dispatch Yangzhou guards and troops to the north to support you? Does it have any impact on your plan to cause trouble? "

Lin Daguan thought for a while and said: "A few hundred people will be enough."

After seeing off Commander Wan, it was getting late, so Officer Lin stopped working and went back to his room to work as a secretary.

The next day, when Lin Daguan had just finished his morning exercises, Lu Junbi, the great shopkeeper of Lin's Salt Industry, ran over again.

And reported: "The Yanyun Division Yamen posted an announcement this morning, preparing to issue [-] new nests! Those who are interested in claiming nests can go to the Yamen to sign up starting today!"

Lin Tailai said a little unhappy: "Second brother is too lazy. Registration has started, but we haven't arrived in Yangzhou yet!"

Originally, according to the plan, the second brother Lin Yunlai was to come forward to obtain the ownership of the nest.

Lu Junbi suggested: "For the current plan, we can only go to the Salt Transportation Department to sign up for the second master."

Others who were not related to Brother Lin could not sign up on his behalf, so they had to work for Lin.

Official Lin slapped the case and said, "Very good!"

Lu Junbi was baffled, why did it get better?
As a result, I heard Senior Official Lin say: "I originally planned to find a reason to go to the Salt Transportation Department to stir up trouble, but this opportunity has come!"

Lu Junbi: "."

Did you say this seriously when you were awake?

Without further ado, Official Lin said to the Zuo Protector Zhang Wen: "Let the guys assemble! Leave 20 people to look after the house, and the other 80 people will follow me to the Salt Transportation Department!"

Lu Junbi watched Lin sitting in the hall with eighty men holding sticks. He was in a trance for a moment. Was this a sign-up or a fight?
The Lianghuai Salt Transportation Bureau is located in the north of Yangzhou New City, next to Dong Zhongshu's temple.

When they arrived at the gate of the Salt Transportation Department, official Lin handed over his name card and asked to see Fei Yi, the salt transportation envoy.

Eighty guys were standing at the gate of Yunsi, and Yanding, the gatekeeper, wanted to come out and expel them.

Lin Daguan squinted his eyes and said provocatively like a villain: "What's the problem with me guys standing here to rest?"

As long as Yun Si Yan Ding takes action to expel him, the fight will begin!He is very familiar with beating up the strong men and jailers of the Yamen!
After the beating was over, he stood on the moral high ground and said, "Is this the imperial palace or the imperial palace? Are the people of the Ming Dynasty not allowed to stand outside?"

But the saltmen of the Yun Division looked at Lin Daguan and went back.

But Menzi only felt a toothache when holding the name card. It was just a small name card for thousands of households. How could he have such a big face to ask for an audience with the Salt Transport Envoy?

According to normal rules, sending this kind of name card inside is a complete waste of time.

Official Lin stared at the door and yelled eagerly: "What? You look down on me?"

Whenever a doorman looks down on someone, he will just smash the door. This kind of thing is very familiar!
But Menzi finally replied: "Lin Qianhu, wait a moment, I will send him in right now!"

Lin Daguanren muttered: "I'm really disappointed."

While waiting, Lin Daguan saw more than ten people standing in the front yard inside the gate of the Salt Transportation Department, talking together.

They were probably all salt merchants, and there were several people they knew among them, such as the ones he had arrested, and even member Wang was also there.

You don't need to think about it to know that these people are probably here to sign up.

The reason why there were only a dozen people showed up was not because there were only a dozen salt merchants in Yangzhou, but because most of the small and medium-sized salt merchants lacked capital and were not qualified to participate in this nest recognition.

Wuqianyinwo is a Wuqianyin license. The base price alone is 1 taels, and it also requires cash.Ordinary businessmen cannot afford it at all, so the salt industry is also a capital-intensive industry.

Official Lin walked to the courtyard and greeted the big salt merchants: "We, Lin's Salt Industry, have secured these five thousand nests. Don't waste your efforts. Go back!"

Then he said to Wang Yuanwai: "When our Lin's Salt Industry gets these [-] yuan, I will come to welcome you.

If you use the five thousand nests you rented to me as your dowry, our Lin's Salt Industry will be able to establish its brand name. "

All the salt merchants glared at Mr. Lin, but they dared not say anything in anger.

What they relied on was, firstly, more money, and secondly, they could fight with more people, but it didn't work for Lin Daguan and others.

In the end, Wang Yuanwai, who is known for his "righteousness and boldness", sneered and said: "What do you know about the salt industry? Don't think that with a little power, you can do whatever you want in salt industry affairs. If you want to eat these five thousand Yinwo, Do you have money? Do you know how to distribute salt in the salt field? Do you know how to transport salt to the diversion area? Do you know how to sell salt in the diversion area and collect payment?"

Official Lin glanced at Wang Yuanwai suspiciously. They were so involved in the drama. Do they really think of themselves as the leaders of the anti-Lin alliance in the Yangzhou business community?
At this time, word suddenly came from inside the yamen that it was Fei Yunshi who invited Lin Qianhu to come in and talk.

Official Lin sighed. It seemed that we couldn't make any more trouble at the gate. Let's go in and have a look.

After arriving at the lobby at the back, the guests and hosts took their seats in the side hall. Lin Tailai took the initiative to get straight to the point and said, "I came here today because of the five thousand guide nests. I hope it will be convenient for my luck."

It can be said that what Mr. Lin said was extremely rude.

It's like if you see a strange beauty on the street and force her to date you, and if the other person doesn't want to, you'll block her and won't let her go.Usually only the brainless villains in novels talk like this, and then they are dealt with by the protagonist.

Fei Yunshi was not angry and replied: "Not only you, Lin Qianhu, but also those people in the front yard want to lure you in."

"Sign up first today." Lin Daguan said again.

Fei Yunshi looked at Lin Tailai and said in surprise: "Lin Qianhu, your identity is inappropriate, right?"

Lin Daguanren explained: "I will sign up for my second brother!"

Fei Yunshi carefully inquired about Brother Lin's situation, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work, so I can't sign up."

Lin Daguan said dissatisfiedly: "Why not?"

Fei Yunshi replied: "The salt industry has a threshold, so there are also hard conditions for signing up to accept a nest.

First, he must have been engaged in salt business and trading in Yangzhou for more than three years; second, he must have three peers with a capital of more than [-] yuan as guarantee. "

Official Lin was stunned. Is there such a rule?When did it happen?He came to Yangzhou twice last year and never heard of it.

Fei Yunshi continued: "This is a new regulation introduced at the end of last year, which was reported to the court and approved for implementation.

The main purpose of this regulation is to prevent incompetent people from claiming the title and wasting salt industry resources. "

Although Mr. Lin has no evidence, he always feels that this new rule is aimed at him.If we strictly follow the regulations, my second brother will not be qualified at all.

After coming back to his senses, Lin Daguan hurriedly said: "I hope Luck will be accommodating!"

Fei Yunshi shook his head and said: "This is not the rule of this official, but the rule of the imperial court, and I have to abide by it."

It would be ridiculous if you couldn’t even register your name!Lin Daguanren added: "Rules are dead, people are alive, there are always exceptions."

Fei Yunshi said sternly: "Without rules, there is no rule. If rules can be violated at will, what is the use of rules?
We, the imperial officials, should lead by example. How can we break the rules casually?

Besides, with so many eyes looking up and down, it was impossible to cover up the blatant violation, so why should Lin Qianhu ask for trouble? "

There is nothing wrong with these words in theory, but they make Lin Daguan feel uncomfortable.

After thinking about it carefully, he asked: "Then how about finding a qualified person to come forward to claim the title, and then transfer it out?"

Fei Yunshi replied seriously: "Private transactions are not allowed for newly claimed nests within five years. This was also a new rule at the end of last year to prevent illegal reselling for profit."

Damn it!Lin Daguan cursed in his heart, how many new regulations had been issued after he left Yangzhou last year!
There are rules on the left and rules on the right, and each of them makes me uncomfortable. This reminds Lin Daguan of his experience in running government departments in his previous life, and his sense of experience has dropped sharply.

Maybe the other party wants benefits?Lin Daguan then tried and said: "How many rules can those salt merchants give me, and I, Lin Tailai, can do the same!"

Fei Yun's expression changed and he shouted: "Who does Lin Qianhu think of me? Don't say this again!"

You can’t accept anyone’s money, let alone Lin Tailai’s money!
Lin Daguan understood this, but who would understand him?
Unknowingly, the experience of working in the previous life was taken over again, and Lin Daguan's mood became inexplicably irritable. This fortune envoy was simply unable to get in!
Since nothing can be done according to the regulations, then just use your power to suppress others!
Official Lin calmed down, thought of his backer, and said arrogantly:

"In a few months, I will marry the sister of Situ, the king of the household department. But I am short of money, so I want to take over my family to help subsidize her!"

How should you respond if you directly move out of the Ministry of Household Affairs?
Fei Yunshi smiled slightly and said calmly: "I have letters here from the two pavilion elders Xu Yingyang and Wang Duinan. They were all brought in by people from outside."

Lin Tailai: "."

The second assistant, Xu Guo, was from Huizhou. Wang Jiaping (Ding Youzhong), a bachelor, was from Shanxi. He was very suitable for Huizhou merchants and Western merchants outside.

Each of them is bigger than the Minister of Revenue, and they are all in the cabinet. Even if the chief minister is removed, it will be difficult to force him.

Sure enough, wherever there is a lot of money, the water is deep.

Fei Yunshi picked up the tea cup and asked: "Does Lin Qianhu have anything else to do? As long as it complies with the regulations, I will definitely handle it for you!"

Official Lin snorted coldly: "It's very difficult for me to do this."

Fei Yunshi said kindly: "If it's difficult to handle, then don't do it."

Official Lin stood up and said as he walked: "We will come back after a while. Maybe something special will be done by then."

How can a generation of Jiangzuo powerful men be trapped by regulations?
From the perspective of provoking quarrels and causing trouble, today was a failure.But it doesn’t matter, I’ll wait a few days and let you know what picking quarrels and provoking trouble means!

When Mr. Lin walked to the front yard, the dozen salt merchants suddenly burst into laughter, as if they were laughing at the laymen's overestimation of their abilities.

Official Lin pointed at the salt merchants and said, "Don't think that just because you have colluded with the Salt Transportation Department, you think that the Five Thousand Yinwo is yours!"

Back at the mansion, Lu Junbi was still sitting in the front hall waiting for the results.

After hearing what Lin Daguan said about the matters in the Salt Transportation Department, Lu Junbi also said angrily: "What new regulations are these? They have never been announced! Otherwise, I would have known about it a long time ago!"

Lin Daguan said: "The most urgent task is to find someone who is qualified to sign up to claim the nest."

Lu Junbi thought for a while and said: "If this condition is met, even I would not be qualified, and I have only been engaged in the salt industry for less than three years.

Among us at Lin's Salt Industry, only Wu Deng, the second shopkeeper, meets the requirements.

However, this person is too selfish and may not be reliable. He also has a huge smuggling problem and is not friendly to sitters.

It's just that we have no one available, so we have to make do with him. After all, he is familiar with the situation in the salt field. "

But Official Lin said quietly: "What about the Wu Tian family? Do they have enough conditions to sign up for a nest?"

Lu Junbi replied: "Wu Tian and Wu Deng were engaged in the salt industry in the past. The couple still had three hundred salt coins in their hands. The conditions certainly met the regulations.

But Wu Tianshi and Wu Deng are husband and wife after all. If Wu Deng is unreliable, then Wu Tianshi cannot be completely trusted unless she gets rid of Wu Deng."

At this point, Lu Junbi suddenly stopped and looked at Zuo Guan in astonishment. Could it be that Zuo Guan finally stopped pretending?
