The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

After sending away Mr. Nian, who had got his wish, Lin Daguan continued to wait.

Not long after, I heard another report from the disciple: "The negotiators sent by the Weaving Industry Office have arrived! But it is best to go out and greet them while you are still sitting in the hall."

Official Lin was furious and yelled at his disciples: "You bastard! I am the garrison of Suzhou City, do they deserve to let me go out to greet you?"

The disciple quickly shouted: "Sit down and listen to my explanation! The man outside is wearing a Bagua Taoist robe, a ghost mask, and straw sandals. He seems to be younger than an old gentleman!"

The only person in Suzhou City who dared to dress up like this and show off in the city was the second famous scholar Zhang Youyu.

As Lin Tailai's bargaining expert, if Zhang Youyu really arrived, according to etiquette, Lin Tailai would be required to come out to greet him.

He just didn't understand why Zhang Youyu appeared. Lin Daguan stood up and came to the gate with doubts.

You couldn't see Zhang Yousu's expression through the mask, you could just hear him say: "Long time no see, good disciple! Today I was entrusted by the Weaving Industry Office to talk to you."

Official Lin first invited Zhang Youyu to sit down in the study. No matter what the inside story was, the Zhiye Gong was able to move Zhang Youyu out, which shows that it took a lot of effort.

After all, looking at the entire city of Suzhou, strictly speaking, there are only three people who can really suppress Lin Tailai with their status, Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Zhang Youyu.

After all, Lin Daguan had accepted Zhang Youyu's inheritance of Yi studies, so he had to recognize this teacher.

"What does the Weaving Industry Office have to do with you?" Lin Daguan said angrily: "As for letting the old man jump out to make trouble?"

Zhang Youyu replied: "You don't understand. Our Zhang family lives in Dongcheng, near many Jihu families. My wife comes from a Jihu family."

The so-called machine households are factory owners who own looms.

Lin Tailai was shocked, Mr. Zhang, do you still have your wife? Why have you never heard of it?

Zhang Youyu sighed: "That was ten years ago. Your wife ran back to her parents' home in anger, and then she never showed up again.

Isn't it rare that a wife doesn't return home for a long time? Can’t you, a young person like you who is not yet married, understand this? "

Official Lin silently looked at Teacher Zhang's stained wooden ghost mask, then at Teacher Zhang's Bagua robe that had not been washed in several years, and then at Teacher Zhang's straw sandals with toes exposed.

Then Lin Daguan said sincerely: "No, I can understand why Master's wife ran away."

With such a crazy mental illness on the stall, it's impossible to survive. If you don't run away, what are you waiting for?

But thinking about it again, it seems that more than ten years ago, it was when Teacher Zhang and Wang Laoden competed for the leadership position in Suzhou literary circles, and Teacher Zhang lost.

Zhang Youyu's mental illness suddenly broke out. He slapped the case and yelled: "What a bullshit look in your eyes! You can't understand!"

"Okay! Okay! I don't understand, I don't understand!" Mr. Lin himself didn't know what he was expressing, so he could only follow Teacher Zhang's words.

After Zhang Youyu stabilized his mood, he continued: "Two days ago, I was at my husband's house and saw my wife again.

She became younger, as if she had just gotten married, and she even said she was willing to return to the Zhang family. "

At the first time, Lin Daguan didn't understand what he said.

Then Lin Daguan tried to understand it using a mental illness's thinking, and then analyzed it using a normal person's thinking, and finally guessed a little bit of the truth.

This means that the people at the Weaving Industry Office, probably Zhang Youyu's first wife, found a young girl who looked exactly like Zhang Youyu's first wife to deceive Zhang Youyu?

Not only does this take a little thought, it takes too much thought!

Lin Daguan advised: "If she is really twenty or thirty years younger, she is probably not the master's wife. This is not logical."

"No, she is your master's wife, exactly the same as in my memory!" Zhang Youyu was very convinced.

Mr. Lin: "."

It's really impossible to explain logic to a mentally ill person.

Lin Daguan only has the courage of the Overlord and Lu Bu, but there is no use for him at this time.

"Let's not talk about Master's wife for now!" Lin Daguan could only forcefully change the subject and asked: "What did the Weaving Industry Office ask you to do?"

Zhang Youyu replied: "Those loom shops in Dongcheng all started with two or three looms, and after several generations of accumulation, they can become large loom shops with hundreds of looms.

And you start with a hundred cards, and within a few months, you have to add another hundred. This speed is really scary. "

Lin Daguan pretended to be stupid and said, "I do my thing and they do theirs. We usually don't bother each other. What do they have to be afraid of?"

Zhang Youyu relayed: "They said that all your behaviors broke the rules, especially the treatment of weavers that exceeded the standard of five cents a day."

Lin Tailai asked back: "Our industrial park is outside the city. If we don't provide good treatment, how can we recruit people from the city?"

Zhang Youyu said: "This is the problem. You are expanding too fast and poaching people too hard, and the ones you poach are all skilled old weavers.

If thousands of skilled weavers are always recruited to the industrial park, Dongcheng Machinery Households will not be able to bear it.

Moreover, the remuneration you offer is so generous that it goes beyond the industry standards. It will also make the weavers who stay in the city feel uneasy and they will definitely want a salary increase. Who can bear it? "

Lin Daguan smiled and said, "What does the Weaving Industry Office want me to do?"

Zhang Youyu still reported: "The Textile Industry Office has only two suggestions. The first is that wages must comply with industry regulations and no more poaching people at a premium;

The second is to stop poaching skilled old weavers who have been working for more than ten years. Let those who have passed away be forgotten. "

Official Lin couldn't help but slap the case and said, "What kind of power and position do they have to say this to me?"

Zhang Youyu sighed, and suddenly spoke like a very sober and normal person: "Disciple, you don't want another civil commotion to break out, do you?"

I had guessed correctly before, and the Weaving Industry Office really wanted to take advantage of the strength of the people to take advantage of me!

Zhang Youyu added: "As an old Dongcheng person, I have to say that their weaving industry is very good at organizing popular uprisings and is the strongest industry force in the city.

Do you know why all computer households are rich, but their taxes are much lighter than those of farmers? There are even rumors from other places that our industry and commerce in Suzhou are tax-free.

Because for so many years, the textile industry has been relying on popular uprisings to engage in tax resistance games with the government.

Even the government can't defeat the weaving industry most of the time. How can you, Lin Tailai, be bigger and stronger than the government? "

Official Lin couldn't help but remember that more than ten years later in the original history, Emperor Wanli asked the weaving eunuch Sun Long to collect taxes from the Suzhou weaving industry.

As a result, under the leadership of Ge Cheng, the weavers in the city rioted, killing several of Eunuch Sun's tax collectors, and directly besieged Eunuch Sun.

Eunuch Sun fled to the retired Shen Shixing's house and hid for two days. Then with the help of Shen Shixing, he secretly left the city in a small boat.

Sun Long was a ceremonial supervisor, a close confidant of Emperor Wanli, and was forced into this situation by the weaving industry.

Therefore, the textile industry in Suzhou City is really not easy to mess with.
