The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson
Chapter 158 Hard to have leisure time
After the new structure is proposed, internal adjustments will definitely take some time, and it is not suitable to make any big moves during this period. Everything should focus on stability.
It was the rainy season in June, and Lin Zaiguan worked tirelessly to go to Mudu Town in the rain to guide the preparatory work for the branch.
The Wangjiang Pavilion where Lin had visited alone to attend the meeting had changed.
It was raining heavily, and Lin Tailai stood in the Wangjiang Pavilion, listening to the report from Ma Yingming, the newly appointed customs chief accountant.
"My subordinates have carefully inspected it and found that the facilities on the south bank are too immature. Both the port and the government office need further construction.
If you want to quickly switch on and off within a month, you can only rely on the original large pier on the north shore.
It happened that the original entrance to Yang's Hall had been confiscated and could be used directly as a customs office. "
Lin Tailai looked at the rain outside and sighed: "The rain in the rainy season this year is a bit heavy, and there may be another waterlogging disaster."
Waterlogging results in reduced production, which in turn is closely related to the level of tax arrears.
Flooding also means that it is more convincing to encourage the government to launch dredging projects.
Unlike Lin Zuoguan, who cares about the suffering of the people, Ma Yingming doesn't care about waterlogging.
Chief Ma only had the customs business in his eyes, and asked again: "What about the customs branch location of Mudu Port?"
Lin Tailai, who wanted to build a new port area in the South Bank, had no choice. After all, manpower was sometimes scarce.
He could only say: "In order to open the door as soon as possible, let's tentatively decide on the big pier in Bei'an Township.
However, the South Bank New Port Area still needs to be built, and the customs branch will definitely be moved to the South Bank New Port Area in the future. "
Ma Yingming said with great joy: "Then my subordinates will first register the personnel list and report it to the Xushuguan General Administration.
Then make preparations for the location, materials, ships, etc. at the same time. Once approved by the General Administration, the switch can be turned on! "
After inspecting Mudu Town for a few days and finalizing the construction plan for the branch, Lin Zuiguan planned to take the Shenwei Lieshui back to Suzhou City.
When Master Ma was sending Lin Tailai to the ship, he suddenly praised: "I have lived forty years, and I have never seen such an incorruptible official!"
Lin Tailai was stunned. Your flattery, Ma Yingming, is not only abrupt, but also very blunt!
If you don't know how to shoot a horse, don't shoot it, otherwise it will easily be regarded as irony or high-level blackmail!
Ma Yingming hurriedly explained: "As the person in charge of Mudu Port Customs, Zuo Guan can have ships equipped by the Customs Department.
But he refused to use public funds and arranged his own ships. He was really an honest person! "
Lin Zuoguan was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.
The strange angle of this flattery is really hard to guard against. If you are not a master, how can you see this kind of scenery?
In the evening, Lin Zuiguan got off the boat at the Xumenwai pier and returned to Shijia Lane, Nanhao Street.
Originally, a plaque reading "Renewal of the Academy" was hung high on the door of the hall, to which Lin Zuiguan nodded with satisfaction.
Gao Changjiang asked for credit and said: "This is a plaque written by Qian Yunzhi, a minor celebrity!"
This name seemed a bit strange to Lin Tailai, so he asked, "Who is this again?"
Gao Changjiang introduced: "Qian Yunzhi's father Qian Gu was a disciple of Wen Zhengming, and Qian Yunzhi learned from Qian Gu, so he is considered a disciple of Wen Zhengming!"
Lin Tailai was speechless. How come today's famous calligraphers and painters are always Wen Zhengming's disciples?
Then he asked casually: "Why did you find him? His style is suitable for this kind of academy plaque?"
Gao Changjiang said very honestly: "Because among Wen Zhengming's disciples, he is the poorest and the cheapest."
Lin Tailai didn't care whether the person who wrote the inscription was a famous person, nor did he want to rely on famous people's inscriptions to make him look good.
However, he still ordered: "Since it's cheap, let him write another couplet and hang it on both sides of the door!"
Gao Changjiang asked: "What couplet?"
Lin Siguan pretended to be very casual and said: "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, can be heard in my ears. Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, I care about everything."
Gao Changjiang: "."
He was shocked again. He really didn't understand why a martial arts master like Zuo Guan could spit out a few ivory tusks at every turn.
Lin Tailai asked proudly: "What do you think of this couplet? I just thought of it."
Gao Changjiang faithfully fulfilled the role of criticizer. Honesty is his label. He replied:
"I think that with three thousand guests sitting in front of the hotel, the pair of five feet to the south of Putrajaya is more suitable as your couplet."
Lin Ziguan snorted coldly and asked displeasedly: "How did the task I gave you last time to promote the poem "Martial Arts Manga" go?"
Gao Changjiang immediately affirmed and said: "Don't worry, sit down! This poem has been circulated in the city! It is definitely a hit!"
Lin Tailai couldn't believe it: "Really? In just a few days, it became a big hit?"
Gao Changjiang said categorically: "I am absolutely telling you that a fire is a fire! If there is no fire, I am willing to be punished!"
At this moment, Xu Yuanjing, the general manager of the school secretary office, hurried over and shouted: "Master Lin, you have finally shown up!
Last time, I gave you three days to think about your teacher Zhang Youyu's failure to pay for two nights, but you didn't see anyone for more than ten days in a row! "
Lin Tailai sneered: "So what?"
Manager Xu gritted his teeth and responded, "Then I'll give you three more days to think about it?"
Lin Tailai replied: "Then it would be better to be more lenient and give me three years to think about it."
Manager Xu sighed and said, "If you, Mr. Lin, have other ideas, our office can cooperate with you.
There are rumors in the flower field that you are very interested in playing the flute recently, although you didn’t specify what kind of flute it is.”
"Wait a minute!" Lin Tailai shouted and said angrily: "When did I become interested in playing the flute?"
Manager Xu asked back: "One Xiao and one sword smoothed the business, and I have been famous for fifteen years. Is this poem yours?"
Recently, a news has spread among flowers. In order to better match the poetic meaning of this sentence, Lin Daguan wants to find a beauty to practice playing the flute. Many people are looking forward to it! "
Lin Tailai asked in astonishment: "Is this poem very popular?"
Manager Xu said with certainty: "Of course it's very popular. What beauty wouldn't want to practice flute with Mr. Lin?"
Lin Tailai suddenly turned to Gao Changjiang and said through gritted teeth, "Is this your promotion?"
Gao Changjiang had already hid behind the Zhang brothers and argued: "Anyway, according to the requirements of the museum, this poem became a hit!"
When Lin Tailai clenched his fists and walked towards Gao Changjiang, someone in the alley shouted: "Lin Tailai, you traitor!"
Then he saw the colorful Zhang Youyu, wearing a ghost mask, rushing over. Several followers behind him were unable to hold him back.
Lin Tailai avoided the tearing and asked inexplicably: "Are you crazy again? Don't talk about being a traitor, I haven't become a disciple yet!"
Zhang Youyu's eyes were red, like an anxious child: "You told me back then that you were going to build a new port area on the south bank to open a branch!
Now I spent all my private money and borrowed money to buy ten acres of land on the south bank of Mudu Town at a high price!
As a result, news has now spread that the Mudu Port branch will be opened on the north shore! All ten acres of my land are in my hands! "
Lin Tailai: "."
This is all such nonsense!
At this time, another servant of Shen Mansion ran over and shouted: "My second master invites you!"
Lin Tailai sighed, the bigger his career, the less personal leisure he has.
For example, as soon as I returned to the city today, a bunch of people came to look for me. I am afraid that I will never have the pleasure of leisurely visiting the forest and springs in the future!
I suspect that I am suffering from secondary yang. No wonder my mental state has been very depressed these past two days and I am not excited about typing. . . .
