Chapter 86 Witnessing Literary History (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

Back in Hengtang Town that night, Lin Zuoguan turned into a farmer planting seeds, and it was another night of hard work.

There is a poem that says, how can it be said that you cross the pass at night without clothes, and the golden whip rises up to sweep away the wolf smoke.

There is no way, this is the limitation of the times.In order to make the Goddess of Wealth feel more at ease, Lin Zuoguan had to pay more.

By the next day, Lin Tailai had not received any notification from Mrs. Fan, and he was free to move about today.

So he was about to set off to Hushu Pass, and walk around with the tax envoy Wang to deepen his friendship.

Anyway, the bosses didn't want him to go back to the city, so they could only wander around Suzhou City.

But Professor Lin just walked outside the door, and saw Sun Lianlian's flower boat again, docked at the river branch.

"Where is the professor going today? My family will take you by boat!" Sun Meiren sat at the window of the cabin and greeted Professor Lin warmly.

Lin Zuoguan touched his waist, and warned Sun Meiren seriously: "I'm just taking a boat, don't sail indiscriminately."

Sun Meiren pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master Feng Er paid the bill and set up a slave house for the professor for three full days, the day before yesterday and today."

From Hengtang Town to Hushuguan, there is no need to turn and change the river course, just walk [-] miles north along the Grand Canal.

Professor Lin arrived at Hushuguan in the afternoon, went ashore and went straight to the customs office, and walked into the main hall unimpeded all the way.

The tax envoy, Wang Zhidu, finished his work for the day and was about to go back to the back hall to rest. When he saw Professor Lin coming in, he asked, "Why are you here today?"

"I'm here to sell the tickets!" Lin Tailai took out the card tickets he had issued earlier and reported.

A few days ago, he took this card ticket and went to Jinling Sanmei to "collect taxes", and successfully extorted 1000 taels of silver from a Xu family's son-in-law.

According to the rules of the yamen, the issued tickets must be returned when the time is up or after the work is over, and it is impossible for the guards to hold them all the time.

So today Lin Tailai used "sale tickets" as an excuse to visit Wang Zhidu.

The tax envoy Wang looked at the ticket that had been issued a while ago, and the item stated on it was "to collect tax evasion".

Lin Tailai took out another 30 taels of silver from his pocket, and said respectfully, "This is the recovered tax, and fines are included."

Wang Zhidu looked at Professor Lin with a strange look on his face again. Did he really recover the tax evasion, or did he want to take the opportunity to bribe himself?

"I have temporarily detained two cargo ships of the Xu family in Huqiu according to your request," the tax envoy hinted.

Lin Tailai immediately praised: "The prince is not afraid of the strong, and enforces the law impartially. I deeply admire it!"

He was so happy in his heart, today really didn't come in vain!

The Xu family's son-in-law, Fan Yunlin, relied on his own flat to not pay out of face, and now he has a solution.

The Xu family's goods are taken care of, even if the son-in-law Fan Yunlin is not in a hurry, the rest of the Xu family will make him anxious!
One thing lowers one thing, the Hushu customs envoy is the most restrained business family like the Xu family!
However, Wang Zhidu couldn't bear it anymore, and said directly: "You promised to let me be famous in Suzhou City during the literary conference!"

"It's done! It's done!" Lin Tailai quickly replied: "The prince is absolutely famous in Suzhou City now, and all the celebrities in the literary world know about your existence!"

"Really?" Wang Zhidu was a little surprised, and sighed: "This official puts his heart into practical work, and his false name is just a floating cloud. He is different from Xing Tong's bluffing censor."

Lin Tailai said very positively: "That's right! I also took advantage of the opportunity to help the Customs Administration, and preached the truth of paying taxes according to the law!"

Wang Zhi was very satisfied, and invited: "There is no business today, let's talk in another place, and you don't want to leave tonight."

But when the tax envoy Wang stood up, a book suddenly fell out of his sleeve.

Lin Tailai was young and strong, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, so he immediately helped to pick it up.

He also inadvertently saw a line of handwritten words on the cover, and couldn't help shouting: "Jin Ping Mei?!"

Inadvertently, he witnessed the history of literature again!
Historically, this book began to circulate wildly in the literati circle in the form of manuscripts during the Wanli period.

At the beginning, there was no printed version, and it has been spread purely by hand for decades, but it has not been lost, which shows the tenacious vitality of this book.

Because of the randomness of hand-copying, many people have incomplete versions in their hands.

At that time, it was rumored in the literary world that the old alliance leader Wang Shizhen had the most complete edition in his hand.

According to the experience of the time-traveling seniors, if they meet the old alliance leader Wang Shizhen, it is said that this thing can be used, and I don't know if it will work.

Wang Zhi put away the books calmly, and explained solemnly: "When you are free from work, the only thing you can do is read."

This is the latest popular novel in the literati circle, and it has not been published and printed, only private manuscripts circulated.

Presumably you, Lin Tailai, a little book writer who has not been mixed into the literati circle, have limited experience and knowledge, and don't know what a strange book this is!

But Lin Tailai said casually: "Looking at the thickness of this book, I'm afraid it's incomplete. It's definitely not a hundred chapters."

Capital of Kings: "???"

Why does it sound familiar to you?
Lin Tailai continued to chat casually while thinking about the history of literature:

"My lord, have you seen the scene between Jinlian and Jingji? Because of their identities, I find it more exciting."

Capital of Kings: "???"

Is there even such a plot?I didn't see the first 25 fragments in my hand!
At this time, Lin Tailai suddenly realized, and apologized again and again: "I made a slip of the tongue! I shouldn't have said this!
Only those literati in the south of the Yangtze River would brazenly and publicly discuss such obscene things after reading it!
A gentleman like a prince will only read critically in private, and definitely will not discuss it openly! "

Wang Zhidu paused for a moment before he sighed: "Let's talk about literature.

The poem you wrote for Qi Shaobao was so touching that it kept Qi Shaobao awake at night.

The autumn wind, the sword, the lonely minister's tears, the setting sun, the banner and the general's altar.I saw it, and I was all overwhelmed. "

So the topic of conversation between the two smoothly jumped from Jin Ping Mei to Qi Shaobao.
Lin Tailai complained: "The prince didn't say before that this poem will be directly shown to Qi Shaobao himself, but it hurts me.

Now that Qi Shaobao wants me to learn his Liuhe marksmanship!

Majesty, judge me, do scribes like me need to learn marksmanship? "

Wang Zhidu thought of Professor Lin's heroic fighting posture, and said frankly: "It's really not necessary to learn marksmanship."

At this moment, a servant at the gate suddenly reported outside the court: "Li Jixuan, a filial man in Zhenzhou, sent Jinling Sanmei to the customs office to be punished!"

Later, the tax envoy Wang, who was sitting behind the case, saw three beauties begging for mercy.

He couldn't help but glared at Lin Tailai next to him again, and questioned: "Is this what you said, let me be famous in Suzhou City? And also spread a wave of taxation according to law?"

Professor Lin also ignored Wang Taxi, and asked Jinling Sanmei: "As far as I know, didn't the old leader Wang invite you Jinling Sanmei together these few days? Why are you here again?"

Jinling Sanmei, who was almost made a laughing stock of "weighing and paying taxes" by Professor Lin, didn't feel very good about Professor Lin, and replied contradictoryly:
"The old leader wants to make an appointment, so we must agree? Besides, it's because of your blessing that our sisters are here!"

Lin Tailai exclaimed: "You are hurting me!"

　Ask for a monthly pass!When I woke up, I lost more than a dozen people.

　　The explosive update didn’t stop, it’s still going on, but I spent some time first to get through the next train of thought.

　　Sharpening the knife does not cut firewood by mistake. For an essay like mine, you must allow a little longer time for the exam.
