The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Seeing that Lin Daguan, who was always famous for his arrogance, was so approachable to the Cao Army sergeants, Zhang Fengyi shook his head, turned around and left.

Lu Shiren, who was traveling with him, asked: "We came to urge Lin Tailai to hurry up, but why did the old gentleman leave without saying a word?"

Zhang Fengyi sighed: "Lin Tailai has a big picture in mind. This matter in our calligraphy and painting world probably doesn't have much weight in his heart, so there is no need to humiliate himself."

Official Lin treated his subordinates and clerks well, and the benefits and benefits were very good. This was the fundamental reason why the soldiers returned home.

For example, most of the profits from the "rented" 12,000 salt coins were subsidized to the Suzhou Guards Cao Army in the form of commercial cooperation.

Official Lin finished his heart-to-heart talk with today's fifty Cao soldiers and was about to get up and leave.

At this time, someone suddenly stood outside the circle and shouted loudly: "Sit down! Sit down!"

Official Lin turned around and saw Lu Junbi, the great shopkeeper of Yangzhou Lin's Salt Industry, being led by Zhang Wu, the right protector, walking towards him.

"What big thing happened in Yangzhou City that made you come to me so impatiently?" Lin Daguan asked doubtfully.

Lu Junbi hurriedly said: "I heard that the Salt Transportation Department is going to release 5,000 new nests!"

It is indeed a big deal! Lin Daguan was overjoyed and said subconsciously: "Isn't this just a wish come true!"

The thing that Lin's Salt Industry lacks the most right now is a nest egg.

Although he has the right to operate 12,000 salts, it is "rented" after all, and the ownership of the nest still belongs to others.

If you search the market, you can buy hundreds of nests, but compared to the scale of Lin's Salt Industry, just a few hundred nests are meaningless.

But five thousand nests is really a lot. If we can get these five thousand nests, the name of Yangzhou Lin's Salt Industry will be truly established.

Lin Daguan was thinking quickly and said to Lu Junbi: "I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for me to come forward to claim the throne. After all, I am an official now.

Therefore, I need to find an agent who is reliable in all aspects, and this agent must be closely related to me, so that others can know it at a glance. "

Having said this, Lin Daguan had an idea and immediately ordered Zhang Wu, the right protector beside him:

"You return to Suzhou immediately and let my second brother leave for Yangzhou no matter what. Just say this is my request!"

Zhang Wu accepted the order, turned around and returned to Suzhou.

Official Lin's intention was obviously to ask his second brother Lin Yun to step in and act as the "legal representative" of Yangzhou Lin's Salt Industry.

In the past, all nests were "rented", so Lin's Salt Industry did not need to clarify the ownership, and it did not matter whether there was a "legal representative" or not.

But now the government has released a new five thousand nests. If you want to recognize the nests, you must clarify the ownership before you can contact the government.

Lu Junbi added: "The value of these five thousand nests is no less than ten thousand acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many people in Yangzhou who covet it.

Even Wang Yuanwai had other ideas, but I had already stopped him and persuaded him to help me secretly help him to admit his guilt. "

Official Lin said in surprise: "We accept our nest, but we still need his help?"

Lu Junbi explained: "Wang Yuanwai has saved some money over the years. He can lend us money."

Official Lin was very surprised and said, "What should I borrow his money for?"

Lu Junbi continued to explain: "It takes a lot of money to recognize a nest. For example, if you take five thousand to introduce a nest, it will be as high as ten thousand taels if you only include the fee paid to the government for recognizing the nest.

I guess you can't afford 10,000 taels of cash to sit in the restaurant right now, right? "

Official Lin was even more surprised: "Do you still need to spend money to accept a nest from the government?"

Lu Junbi: "."

He felt like he was talking to a duck. He and Lin Zuitan didn't seem to be on the same page.

If you don’t spend money to pay fees, how can you get married from the Yamen? You Lin is sitting in a restaurant and still wants to go to the Yamen for free?

Lin Daguan was a little unconvinced and said: "I think the powerful people in the past all used their own channels to lead them for free. Why do they have to spend money when they come to my place?"

Lu Junbi was very familiar with the story of the salt industry, "It is because there are too many dignitaries who use salt for free, which leads to the proliferation of salt and the corruption of the salt law!

For this reason, the imperial court had to change the system repeatedly, and now it implements the Yinwo system! "

Lin Daguan didn't know whether he heard it or not. Anyway, he was wandering in the world, with a look on his face that he yearned for Bai Yanyin.

Lu Junbi thought that Lin Daguan was worried about not being able to raise money, and added: "Actually, money is not a big problem, and it is not the most difficult thing about recognizing a nest.

Wang Yuanwai can lend some, and in addition, he can use the future nest capital as collateral, and then find other people to borrow money, and he will definitely be able to borrow it.

The biggest difficulty in recognizing a nest is how to compete with opponents."

Lin Daguan came to his senses and replied: "This is not a question of money, free prostitution is a state!"

He then said suspiciously: "Then Yuan Wai Wang is actually willing to take the initiative to lend us a loan. What's his plan?"

Lu Junbi replied: "His idea is also very simple. He wants to get back the five thousand Yinwo from Zuoguan."

Official Lin slapped the table and shouted: "Why should I pay back the nest I rented based on my ability?

And it’s not like I didn’t give him any dividends. This is a permanent lease, and there’s no reason to claim it back! "

Lu Junbi also felt that the idea of ​​sitting in a restaurant was quite reasonable. It was difficult to switch from extravagance to frugality, and he did not want the number of salts under his control as a big shopkeeper to decrease.

After talking about the salt industry, Lin Daguan suddenly remembered something and said to his left and right: "Go and invite Mr. Zhang Lingxu and the others!"

These people followed him to Yangzhou to open up the calligraphy and painting market. Isn't Lu Junbi in front of him a partner?

When Zhang Fengyi and others came over, Lin Daguan smiled at Lu Junbi and said, "These are all famous people in Suzhou. I will introduce you to them today."

After sitting down again, the topic naturally shifted to the Shilin literary world.

Lu Junbi looked at Zhang Fengyi, suddenly thought of another news, and said again: "I heard that Wang Laomeng is coming to Yangzhou City to hold a literary conference."

Zhang Fengyi, who is good at dancing and good at talking, responded: "Five years ago in Hangzhou, two years ago in Suzhou, and this year it's Yangzhou's turn."

This compares the emerging cities of Yangzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou. Lu Junbi, a native of Yangzhou, was naturally happy to hear this.

He was about to say a few words when he heard Lin Daguan say happily: "Isn't this another wish come true!"

Lu Junbi was a little confused. It was understandable that he would say "all his wishes come true", but could this literary conference be regarded as "all his wishes come true"?

Lin Daguan lamented: "I didn't publish many new works last year, and I was completely silent in the literary world.

This is completely inconsistent with my status in the literary world and must have disappointed many people! "

Zhang Fengyi: "."

Last spring, you, Lin Tailai, destroyed the venue of the retro group in the northern capital, forcing the retro group to not dare to hold elegant gatherings throughout the spring;

In autumn, you Lin Tailai came to various channels to forcefully promote the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry collection, which also caused a great split in the Suzhou literary world.

Is this still called silence? You have to pinch Old Alliance Leader Wang's neck and do something in the face to speak out, right?

Lin Daguanren continued to sigh: "Actually, I am not a Jiangcai who has done nothing, but I have been immersed in theoretical research on poetry.

Now we have finally achieved something, but we lack a suitable platform to publish and publicize it.

Isn't it a coincidence that the Literary Forum is about to be held again, again in Yangzhou? "

Lu Junbi asked very curiously: "What kind of theoretical achievements have been studied by sitting in the library?"

Zhang Fengyi shook his head. Everyone in Suzhou knew that if you couldn't answer the conversation like this, you would end up chatting to death. This friend from Lu still had too little experience.

Lin Daguan waved his hand and said boldly: "The theoretical achievement I am talking about is to end the century-old hegemony of the retro school, point out the direction of poetry development, and open up a new stage of world literature!

This literary conference is the best stage prepared for me. It will become an epoch-making scene in the history of literature. Please look forward to it! "

Lu Junbi: "."

I’m really tired after coming all the way from Yangzhou. I may have auditory hallucinations, so I’d better take a shower and go to bed early.

When Protector Zuo Zhang Wen escorted Mr. Lin back to his room to rest, he couldn't help but remind him:

"Yangzhou City is about to issue a new book, and it is about to hold a literary conference. Everything has aroused the enthusiasm and yearning of the attendees. Isn't it too coincidental?"

Lin Daguan sneered a few times and said: "The six disciples believe in the dog, the three emperors are fighting for paper, and the descendants of Yulong are gradually showing their tricks!"

Protector Zhang Zuo couldn't understand it, so he couldn't understand its severity.

On the other side, Zhang Wu traveled day and night by boat, returned to Suzhou, and found Lin's second brother in the Lin family's old house.

It just so happened that there was a family gathering today, and Father Lin and the three brothers except Lin Tailai were all there.

After hearing Zhang Wu's explanation of his purpose, Lin Yunlai quickly waved his hand: "I can't help it, I don't know anything about the salt industry, and I don't understand what's going on in Yangzhou. How can it be a good thing to ruin the fourth brother's big thing?"

Zhang Wu conveyed: "The purpose of sitting in the pavilion is not to discuss, but to ask the second master to go there."

Before the second brother Lin could say anything else, the third brother Lin Fulai jumped out and said: "If the second brother is not happy, then let me go!"

Among the Lin brothers, Lin Asan Fulai is the one with the most out-of-the-box temperament, the kind who wants to join in when he hears the excitement.

Zhang Wu responded cautiously: "I told you to sit in the restaurant, and only the second master is allowed to go."

Third brother Lin said dissatisfiedly: "In what way am I inferior to second brother? What happened to me when I went to Yangzhou?"

Zhang Wu stopped talking. He didn't dare to comment directly on the Lin brothers.

In the end, it was Father Lin who slapped Brother Lin in the face, "What do you want from me?"

Then he made the final decision: "Second brother, don't refuse, just move to Yangzhou!"

He knows his son better than his father, so Father Lin can guess a little bit of Lin Tailai's thoughts.

First of all, the future interests of Yangzhou City are too great, and the second eldest brother Lin Yunlai is low-key, introverted, a bit cowardly, and has little ambition.

Such people are more obedient and go to Yangzhou to be an agent. For Lin Tailai, it will be relatively worry-free in the future and it will not be easy for him to have interest disputes.

Secondly, the second child has not given birth to a son yet, only a daughter, which is a plus for the time being.

Thinking of this, Lin Guozhong also sighed. After a big family and a big business, there are more aspects to consider.

Please vote for me! ! ! ! I can continue writing tonight, and I estimate that I will finish writing the update by tomorrow morning.
