Lin Haoran put down his chopsticks and responded seriously: "At the beginning, although Wang Shiju was quite talented, he inevitably had the pedantic spirit of some scholars. Just follow me to Yangzhou for more than half a year, its conduct is good, and it is slowly knowing how to be flexible, which is indeed a rare material that can be made! ”

"Do you think he can be admitted to the Juren in this subject?" Wu Qiuyu held the chopsticks and continued to ask.

Lin Haoran reached out and took the soup bowl from Ah Hua's hand, but Ah Hua looked a little nervous, but he almost spilled it, which made him look at Ah Hua strangely, and then responded to Wu Qiuyu's question: "His talent must be enough, otherwise I wouldn't have named him as the Jingkui, but whether he can be promoted in the exam this time depends on some luck." Just like your husband, if you didn't have a little luck back then, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the title of Wenkui! ”

Bagu Wenshu seems to be very fair, but it is impossible to be truly fair, after all, the examiner who examines the paper is always a mortal, but it is inevitable that some subjective factors will be added.

It is also the case that many talented scholars always have no results in the field, especially the township examination with the highest elimination rate is a big hurdle.

"Isn't he married yet?" Wu Qiuyu's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked seriously again.

Lin Haoran took a sip of the delicious fish soup and glanced at Wu Qiuyu strangely, but shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know about this!" ”

Not to mention that he has a lot of affairs to worry about now, this has always been the disciple's filial piety to the teacher, and even if he is a teacher, no matter how responsible, he will not worry about this kind of thing for the disciple.

Wu Qiuyu glanced at Lin Haoran resentfully, but he didn't say anything more.

When night falls, the lights of the capital are lit up.

Due to the arrival of summer, there are more sounds of insects and frogs in the back garden, especially the sound of crickets is particularly loud.

As you gain something, you lose something. As Lin Haoran's status improves, he can only constantly change and restrain himself, at least to create the image of a saint official on the surface.

If it weren't for the big guy who was going to visit the court, Lin Haoran would basically not go out again, let alone go to the land of fireworks to look for flowers and willows, and always stay in the study honestly.

The candles were burning on the candlesticks, and the whole study seemed very bright.

Lin Haoran had already taken a shower and was flipping through some letters at his desk. Although he was in the capital, he had also established a local news channel to understand the movements in Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Nanzhili.

At this time, he was looking at Hua Yingrong's letter and understanding the whole story of the Suzhou Silk Turmoil.

Lin Haoran was satisfied with the results of the Suzhou silk turmoil, although the United Money Village could not swallow the silk industry in Suzhou in one fell swoop, but the United Money Village was nailed into the city of Suzhou like a nail, which has laid a solid foundation for the future development of the United Money Bank.

No matter where there is, there is a truth: where there are interests, there will inevitably be disputes.

The bank's accumulation and lending of money is undoubtedly a very attractive business, but in fact, this business will infringe on the interests of the local gentry and the landlord class, and it is likely to be strongly countered by them.

Daming is not without a financial industry, in fact, Daming's financial industry has always existed.

The gentry and the landlord class had already completed the primitive capital accumulation, and through direct or indirect usury, they not only obtained huge profits from it, but also obtained assets such as land or real estate.

It is precisely in this way that even if the Ming Law clearly limits and cracks down on usury, under the protection of the local gentry and local forces, this provision is in fact useless.

If the United Bank rashly plays the sign of "low-interest loans," it will inevitably meet with strong opposition from the local gentry and the landlord class. It's just that now Suzhou Qianzhuang has ceded the silk industry, and has not immediately launched a "low-interest loan" in all aspects, which undoubtedly gives all parties an acceptable time and space.

Now by tying a group of people together through the profits of silk, even if they are strongly opposed by the local gentry and landlord class in the future, they will not fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness.

Of course, there is too little resistance to the matter, and it mainly depends on his official position and authority.

If he can reach the top in the future, he can not only launch the model of "absorbing savings and lending", but also issue universal banknotes in a high-sounding manner, and even become the central bank of the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Haoran's fingers tapped a few times on the tabletop, and then he picked up his pen, and after some greetings, he solemnly wrote: "Everyone in the world is for profit!" Now silk is expensive, then silk is expensive, the gentry and the people in the next few years, will give up rice and plant mulberry, the harvest year is unharmed, the disaster year will become a disaster. United Yinzhuang can push the price of raw silk to suppress its price, prevent the silk from hurting the people, and order Guangdong to prepare grain to prevent disasters, and push potatoes and sweet potatoes in Suzhou......"

Nothing can be perfect, and the rise of Suzhou's silk industry will inevitably encroach on farmland as a productive resource. If left unprepared, not only would Suzhou fall into a famine, but conservative officials would take the opportunity to curb the development of Suzhou's silk industry, thereby severely damaging the Ming Dynasty's maritime economy and trade.

It was because of this that he had to take precautions to prevent this from happening.

After Lin Haoran explained the matter, he wrote seriously: "The red makeup is in the city, my love is still there, Mu Jun is charming and moving, and I am ashamed of my infatuation." I miss it very much, and I hope that the concubine will return soon! ”

After writing, he blew the ink that had not dried on it, put it in an envelope, and then put it in a special leather case with a lock, intending to have the channel of the United Merchants Group deliver the leather box to Hua Yingrong's hands.

This move actually imitated the Qing Dynasty's secret folding system in the later years of Kangxi, in which the emperor and officials each held a key, and no one could open it, thus greatly strengthening the secrecy of the secret fold.

Lin Haoran had just put the envelope in the leather box, and Sun Jixiang walked in.

Sun Jixiang's white hair was a little more, but his eyes seemed to be more wise, and he came to the desk and saluted: "I've seen Dong Weng!" ”

"Mr. Sun, what's going on in the capital?" Lin Haoran locked the leather box and asked casually.

Sun Jixiang was in charge of the source of the capital for Lin Haoran, and he responded honestly: "Dong Fen didn't have any abnormal behavior today, I'm afraid that he accepted to go to Shandong to preside over the saint sacrifice!" ”

Lin Haoran put the leather box in a conspicuous position, and Lin Jinyuan saw that the leather box would definitely be sent to the southeast, so he walked to the tea table and asked for the same serious question: "Mr. Sun, do you think Dong Fen will really accept my proposal honestly?" ”

"If Dong Weng recommends someone else, I'm afraid it will cause trouble! It's just that Dong Weng chose Dong Fen, but it was a clever move, it was a stroke of genius! Sun Jixiang followed Lin Haoran to sit around the table, and then said eloquently: "Yuan Wei and Dong Fen are originally one, and now you propose that Dong Fen go, if he openly opposes it, it will inevitably cause Yuan Wei to be unhappy!" In addition, next year is the year of external inspection, and now Dong Fen's trip to Shandong has more advantages than disadvantages, so he should not jump out to oppose it! ”
