Banquet is not only a culture, but also a communication.

Although Lin Haoran is only in the Shuntian Mansion of the fourth grade, with his Wenkui background and such a strong age advantage, he can already be regarded as a little boss.

As long as he can successfully ascend to the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin, with his potential and wisdom, coupled with the resource support of the United Business Group, he can even stand on his own and form a faction of his own.

The officials who remain here now are a group of people who have some connection to him. If he really has the ability to bring this group together, it will be a rather terrifying force in the near future.

"If you are a foolish brother, you will be happy to get married!"

Xu Wei and the others watched Lin Haoran appear with a wine glass, and they all got up to congratulate him.

Although Lin Haoran had already left the Hanlin Academy, no one regarded him as an outsider.

Lin Haoran's "Talking about the Past and the Present" has sold well, and it has become the most influential publication in the Ming Dynasty, which has benefited them and improved their status.

It is precisely by virtue of this that Lin Haoran has already made a deep chrome mark in the Hanlin Academy, and almost everyone regards him as their own person, and even regards him as a pride of the Hanlin Academy.

"Thank you colleagues for coming to the wedding banquet, I am deeply honored, let's drink this cup together!" Lin Haoran didn't hold it up, and raised his glass to everyone gently.

Everyone also held their wine glasses high and followed Lin Haoran to drink this glass.

In the eyes of their group of senior Hanlin officials, three or four years of hard work is very short.

It's just that this genius of Tianzhong has successfully presided over the opening of the sea in Guangdong, and has risen from the small prefect of Leizhou to the Shuntian Mansion, and is even about to have the opportunity to serve as the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion.

Lin Haoran did not favor one over the other, and maneuvered between these wine tables, and finally arrived at the wine table of Wang Honghai's protégés. Because they had to participate in the palace examination, their group did not attend the noon banquet, and they rushed over to participate in the banquet after the palace examination.

"How did you guys do on the test?"

Lin Haoran put away his smiling face and asked with no anger.

Except for Wang Hong, everyone else is older than him, and even someone can be his father. It's just that he is their teacher, and he can be like Wu Shan did to him, holding up a high shelf.

Wang Honghai and the other twelve protégés naturally didn't think there was anything wrong, and even took it for granted, and a protégé who was anxious replied: "Teacher, the pros and cons of silver mines, the opening of the sea in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Mongolia, have all been examined!" ”

Before they took the palace examination, Lin Haoran also fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher, trained them in strategy, and also put some questions. Hearing that these three questions were all bet on by him, knowing that their palace exam results would not be too bad, this is undoubtedly a great news.

Although officialdom pays more attention to connections, if you don't have a good background, no matter how strong your connections are. Like Yan Shifan, his connections are strong enough, but he doesn't dare to take the position of a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, it's not that his background is too bad.

At present, the ceiling of the top three jinshi is the local prefect or langzhong, and the second class jinshi is the six books, and only the jinshi from the Hanlin Academy can be qualified to enter the cabinet.

Even Jiajing, who has always been rigid and self-serving, slowly made a compromise with the hundred officials. Today's cabinet ministers are all based on the background of the Hanlin Academy, and no longer risk the disapproval of the world to use officials such as Zhang Xuana who were not from the Hanlin Academy.

Lin Haoran will need assistants who can be relied on in the future, and even people who can charge for him, so he will naturally have to look for these protégés in the future. If it is only a third-class jinshi, it is indeed of little use to him, and the second-class jinshi is what he needs in the future.

After learning that they all did well in the exam, facing Wang Honghai's admiring gaze, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, then you should do well in the exam, let go and drink today!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone agreed.

Wang Honghai watched the teacher leave, and suddenly found that many people were looking at him, and one person took the initiative to fill him with wine, and a chill suddenly arose in his heart, knowing that he was probably going to get drunk here tonight.

The wine table slowly dispersed, especially Xu Wei's group of Hanlin Courtyard who lived in the south of the city, and they all retired.

Lin Haoran, Yang Futian and some Cantonese officials got together in the capital, so after everyone was full of wine and food, they were also sent to the door.

A group of officials in Guangdong who went to Beijing to report their posts were left to the end, after all, they were very idle at the moment, and the most important job was to "run for office".

The results of Guangdong's external inspection were very unsatisfactory, except for Li Jialiang, Wei Zhongguo and Ouyang Gang, the three magistrates, everyone else received a relatively low rating.

If it weren't for Lin Haoran's earth-shattering trouble, their careers would probably have been overshadowed. It's just that at the moment, they are like outsiders in the capital, and they can only obediently wait for the verdict of fate.

Lin Haoran is now the Shuntian Mansion Yin of Zhengsipin, who has many contacts in the capital, and has also become the son-in-law of the Ministry of Rites. These officials, as in the past, pinned their hopes on Lin Haoran again.

"I'm sure you've all heard it! Although Shengshang did not change the results of Guangdong's external inspection evaluation, he asked Guo Pu to ask his own official's opinion when he was transferred to Guangdong! Lin Haoran didn't go around in circles, and said directly and honestly.

"The rumors are true?" When Lei Changjiang and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Although they had already heard this rumor and guessed that it might be such an outcome, it was a matter of no certainty. Now that it has been confirmed, they have put down their hanging hearts a little.

With Lin Haoran helping to deal with him, and Lin Haoran has always been the master who does not suffer losses, then it is very likely that they will not have to be transferred to a remote place to suffer the ordeal.

"Yes, so you don't have to be too pessimistic! What can help you fight, the official will try his best to help you fight, if you really can't fight for it, the official will also help you continue your original job! Lin nodded abruptly and made a serious promise.

Among the Guangdong officials here are all people who have a relationship with him.

Like Dai Beihe, the governor of Huazhou, Wei Zhongguo of Haikang Zhixian, and Li Jialiang of Xiangshan Zhixian are his old subordinates, while Lei Changjiang, the prefect of Guangzhou, and Li Zhuguang, the prefect of Chaozhou, are his allies.

Whether it is to protect the interests of the United Business Group or to enhance his own strength, he needs to find a way out for these old subordinates who have no background and take care of their careers.

Only when they stand up and take on important responsibilities at critical moments, then they will be more willing to surround him, so as to form a cohesive group, and they can also do some real big things in the future.

"Lord Lin, it's hard work!"

Lei Changjiang felt Lin Haoran's kindness and responsibility, and he was also very excited in his heart, but he stood up one after another to give a salute.

It's not early, and everyone knows what kind of day it is. Now that he has received Lin Haoran's promise, he has also left the table one after another, unwilling to continue to disturb his good deeds.

Lin Haoran sent everyone away one after another, and arranged places for some drunk people to stay, and sent personnel to take care of them.

After so much drinking, he was also a little drunk. It's just that he has just restrained himself, and everyone has no intention of pouring wine, but he can still cope with the next most important etiquette.

Walking down the long red carpet, towards the room with the candle burning, and pushing the door open with force......
