The next morning, the sun shone into the bedroom, and Zheng Chan's bold laughter sounded in the room.

"Master, are you in a good mood again?"

"Yes, with you little goblin, can I still be in a bad mood?"

After a long while, Fan Jin's voice sounded again.

"No matter what the mood is, life should be lived. I am the parent official of this county, and if I know what a parent official is, I have to have the heart of a parent. In a family, children can be worried, and it is normal for children to be worried when they encounter troubles that cannot be solved. But parents can't be worried, as soon as parents are worried, the children will have no ideas at all, and they will inevitably be in chaos. Therefore, no matter how much sorrow I have in my heart, I must always pretend that nothing is wrong in front of the rule, otherwise, I will not do anything. A lot of things have just come to an eyebrow, how can you just give up halfway. These two days are a crucial one, whether the gentry are willing to come over or not depends on the layout of these days. So, I have to be full of energy at this time, otherwise how can the people below be stable? ”

"yes...... The head of the family is the most energetic, and the concubine is the most clear. ”

Fan Jin, who walked out of the inner house and came to the lobby, could no longer see the slightest depression, his face was full of spring breeze, and his spirit was flying. The catchers are the most well-informed, and Yu Fan Jin beat Feng Bangning yesterday, and they all know at this time. Some people have fear in their hearts, some people admire, and some people have their own minds, and all kinds of ideas are different. But in the minds of most people, they are actually ready for revenge, and it is not uncommon to be beaten or driven away in all directions. Like Shang Huaizhong's family, including his son, who was not bad, they also brought an iron ruler and prepared to fight with each other.

But when the sky was bright, there was no other party's thugs coming to the door, which made some people wonder secretly. Could it be that Feng Bangning is also a false fire, and he doesn't dare to provoke Master Fan? Fan Jin beat Feng Bangning with his hand, originally to make an example for the gentry and let them see the confidence of the yamen to maintain discipline, but he didn't expect that the first thing to gain was the worship of the yamen.

His behavior was the same as usual, and immediately after the order, he arranged for the official to patrol, Zhang Tiejian stepped forward and whispered: "Master, you send everyone out, and don't leave some people in the yamen in case of emergency?" ”

"Yamen? What does the yamen keep people for? Fan Jin looked at Zhang Tieji, his face puzzled, and then he was shocked again. Don't be wordy and lazy, go to the errand quickly, otherwise be careful with the dog's legs! ”

Seeing his attitude, Zhang Tiejian knew that Fan Jin must have something to rely on, and he obviously ate Feng Bangning. I was surprised and admired. After all, it's an errand boy, his boss is strong, and he is also tougher when he does the next job. Immediately stopped asking questions, and led people to patrol as usual.

Today is not the day of the announcement, and after the promotion of the church, they will each go to their own offices to work. After about half an hour, Chen Youfang and Liu Peng suddenly walked into Fan Jin's signing room and saluted together: "Honor, the lower official has a love to return." ”

Fan Jin suffered a loss because he had no copywriting in his hand when he came to Jiangning to take office, and he only relied on his own strength to support him. For many trivial official duties, they can only rely on local officials. Regardless of the collection of summer grain or the next step of Yamen's lending, these two people are very attentive, so they are also very polite to the two. After sitting down, he asked the reason, thinking in his heart that if the other party also mentioned Feng Bangning's matter, he had to give them a little insight and increase their confidence.

Chen Youfang didn't seem to know anything about yesterday's conflict, and only said: "Donal, this loan is the first thing to use. If the people borrow money from the government, we have no money to put away, and we will lose our credit. At present, there are a few hundred taels of silver in the treasury, and they still have to deal with the expenses in the yamen, and they can keep as much as they can borrow, and they hope that the hall will clearly indicate it so that the villain can dispose of it. In addition, it is also an extremely complicated matter for the people to borrow from the land, the value of their land property, and the ownership of the land. I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything, I will have bad errands, and I will be trusted by my superiors. ”

Liu Peng also said: "Yes, there are similar concerns about lowly positions. The lowly position has always been in charge of the criminal name in the yamen, and he has limited knowledge of the affairs of Qian Gu. Rash participation is only afraid of losing the trust of the court, in case of delaying official business, this responsibility is really unaffordable. ”

Fan Jin looked at the two of them and knew in his heart that this was one of the consequences of beating Feng Bangning. Not all people are as courageous as Shang Huaizhong's family, and the identities of officials, officials, and servants are different, and the way of thinking about problems is also different. These two subordinate officers of their own obviously have their own plans, and some want to retreat.

Everyone has their own interests, which leads to different answers when everyone encounters the same question. From the very beginning, he seriously cracked down on private usury and implemented official loans, and he already thought that he would face internal pressure. To rectify the government service is to take precautions, first control the forces at the grassroots level, and ensure that these people are used for their own purposes before thinking about anything else. As for the officials and subordinate officials, it is too late to rectify them for the time being, especially Chen and Liu, although they are low-level officials of the imperial court, and their personnel relations are in the ministry, and they can only participate in the impeachment or give them an ugly look in the performance appraisal as their bosses, and they cannot be directly appointed and dismissed, so it is more difficult to control. The anti-water of these two people is actually within Fan Jin's consideration, but he can't be sure in what form. Now it seems that the method they adopted was relatively simple and crude: wrestling the yarn hat.

It doesn't have to be hard to resist your boss, procrastination, laziness, or distorting your boss's orders can be considered a means. It's just that the Shangyuan Yamen is too small, and Fan Jin's multiple supervision and encouragement of the reporting system make this method have no room to be used, so he can only choose a relatively simple and direct way. Express your dissatisfaction with your boss with a soft strike, which is also the usual way for husbands. Anyway, there is no precedent for this kind of official loan, and who should be assigned the work depends on the arrangement of the officials. A large part of the reason why the Ming Dynasty exercised many systems and habits to refer to ancient laws, rather than thinking of a new method on its own, is also due to this. There is no precedent for using new methods, and it is very troublesome to assign who will do the work.

Of course, the attitude of these two people is disrespectful to Shangguan, even if they can't find flaws in the system, they won't please Fan Jin. Their future is in the hands of Fan Jin, and it is said that it should belong to Fan Jin on this boat. From the perspective of relationship, Fan Jin has a foundation in Jinshi Kejia and a relationship with Zhang Juzheng, so these two should also hug his thighs. But the problem is that things are not such algorithms, and the people who are provoked are not right.

These two people are first of all old local officials, and their relationship with the ground gentry in Jiangning is intricate, although their level is not high, but in terms of relationship, they may be able to reach the first floor of the government or the first floor of the sixth department of Jiangning, which is not so easy to provoke. It also represents the interests of these people, and the official lending policy is detrimental to the interests of these people. These two people will definitely not support it, and it is reasonable to find an opportunity to undermine the system. What's more, now that Feng Bangning has this opportunity, they have to come out and stand in line.

Feng Bao's current power and prestige in the court is not necessarily inferior to Zhang Juzheng, but the quasi-Weng son-in-law relationship between Fan Jin and Zhang Juzheng may not be understood by officials at the level of Chen and Liu. In their opinion, Fan Jin has hated Feng Bangning, and he will definitely suffer in the future, and if he runs away with Fan Jin, he may be angered. He doesn't have a hard waist like Fan Jin, even if he is swept away, it is also a broken situation. What's more, Fan Jin can go, he will most likely have to work until death in this Shangyuan office, and it is not too easy for Feng Bangning to clean himself up. So cutting with Fan Jin in time is a way to show your attitude, you can toss as much as you want, I don't stand on Fan Jin's side.

Moreover, Feng Bangning and Huang Enhou father and son mixed together. The Huang family has been a town guard eunuch for many years, and the local officialdom must have penetrated. Maybe these two people are on the line of the Huang family, and they may not be intimate with Fan Jin.

Fan Jin never had the idea that civil officials and eunuchs were incompatible, in fact, the civil officials and eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty had never lacked collusion. The eunuchs who can be the master of ceremonies and the palm seal and the pen are all from the inner study, and those who teach and practice literature and ink in the inner study are all Hanlin. How can there be no friendship between the two?

At the local level, these petty officials are not qualified to compete with the eunuchs, that is to say, in their eyes, they are just a Jinshi who beat the friends of the eunuchs guarding the town. In the future, when he fights the law, he will still have a better future with the eunuchs.

Fan Jin looked at the two of them, nodded and said, "What the two of you said makes sense, official lending has not been done for many years, and it makes no sense to send you as an errand envoy." Originally, the official said that the messenger would send another amount of money and food for reward. But if you don't want to do it, then you don't have to do it, just come by yourself. However, I hope that the two of you can take responsibility for this year's summer grain and not make any mistakes. ”

Seeing that Fan Jin was so easy to speak, the two of them were also relieved in their hearts, and Yu Xia Liang was self-reliant. But what you think in your heart, only God knows. After a few more gossips, just when the two wanted to go back to their room to work, a servant shouted a reply outside, and then came in with a worship box and said, "In addition to Zhang Yuan, there is also a staff member surnamed Ling who came to visit the master." ”

Fan Jin nodded and said, "Please!" He also motioned to the two subordinate officials and said, "You don't have to hurry to leave, just listen to it, maybe the money problem you are worried about is expected to be solved." ”

Zhang Yuanwai is a large local silk businessman, and he is also a wealthy man in Shangyuan County. In addition to the silk business, his other main project is money lending. The policies pursued by Fan Jin are largely rivals with him. Regarding his intention, Chen and Liu were watching with the mentality of watching jokes. This Bailing's relationship can be connected to the Jiangning Household Department, and a large part of the silver he lends is the Treasury Bank of the Household Department. If he is determined to go against Fan Jin, it will be enough for Fan Jin to be embarrassed.

Not long after, two wealthy businessmen had already walked in, one was Zhang Bailing, and the other was a shrewd and capable person in his thirties, but they were strangers that neither Chen nor Liu knew. The man was very familiar with Fan Jin, and after meeting and saluting, he smiled and said, "Retreat, my uncle wants me to come to Jiangning to join you, and I will rely on you to take care of it in the future." You know who I am, I was said by my uncle to be a loser, and I have nothing to do except eat, drink and have fun. This time, I brought a few thousand taels of silver to Jiangning to play, and I didn't want to make money back, just don't lose everything. ”

Zhang Bailing said with a smile: "Old parents, the villain and Jing Huaxian's younger brother have been friends for ten years. When the villain went to Taicang to collect silk, he hit it off at first sight with Brother Jinghua, if he had known the friendship between the two of you, he should have come to visit a long time ago. This is very rude. ”

The man said: "Brother Bailing, you don't have to say kind words, just say, how is our friendship?" My uncle and Master Fan are old friends, for the sake of this friendship, you put all your little silver in the county yamen and hand it over to the county government to do, do you promise to do this? ”

"Brother Jinghua has spoken, where does the foolish brother dare to not, he has to agree."

Chen and Liu saw it in a fog, and they didn't know why Zhang Bailing obeyed this man's words, until Fan Jin introduced him to him, and he didn't know that this man was from Taicang named Ling Chunhua, and he was the nephew of Ling Yunyi, the current governor of Liangguang, and Zhang Bailing's friend, or it could be called: backer.

Ling Yunyi's letter is not simply bad news, good news also exists. After learning the news that Zhang Juzheng had moved the Fan family to Jingshi, Ling Yunyi had already repaired a letter and asked his nephew in his hometown to come to Shangyuan to take care of some business, and asked Fan Jin to take care of it.

There is no love without a cause, just as there is no hate without a cause. The word enmity and hatred both represent a kind of origin and effect, there is a demand, and there must be a pay. Fan Jin can have today, and Ling Yunyi has made a huge contribution, which is an undeniable fact.

In return, taking care of Ling Yunyi's children and nephews, and even the people mentioned in his letters, must be taken care of within the scope of their ability, which is the proper meaning of the question. This is the minimum standard of interpersonal communication, and no one can violate it.

But for Fan Jin, the news is not a bad thing. The Ling family is also a solid family in Taicang, Ling Yunyi first became the governor of Guangdong and then the governor of Liangguang, plus he made a windfall in the Lin Feng incident before, and he was very arrogant. Some of this money must be transported to his hometown, Fan Jin helped Ling Yunyi dispatch his private wealth in the Battle of Luoshan before, and also helped him to transfer property in the name of the military.

Now that Ling Chunrong has come to Shangyuan, it is true that he wants to achieve the goal of making a fortune through his own power. But it is undeniable that the other party will definitely bring funds. And what Fan Jin needs most at the moment is actually funds.

Whether it is Yamen lending, or finding a way to get rich for Jiangning, the most important item is the word capital. If Ling Yunyi's children brought the funds, they would be a great help to themselves. What's more, Ling Chunrong also has his own relationship in Jiangning, and Zhang Bailing, a big lender, relies on his connections to pull the money from the household department to turn over his business. Now that Ling Chunrong is speaking, he has no reason to do it.

First of all, he promised to invest 1,000 taels of silver in the yamen as the principal of the loan, and then return the interest when the autumn grain was due, and the principal was not in a hurry, and said: "What the old parents said yesterday in the Yang Mansion is that the tax payment amount is divided into A, B, C and D households, I don't know when it starts?" The villain is here to pay taxes. Although the villain is not a rich family, he is still sure to be a first-class household. To tell the truth, the villain's two daughters are under her knees, and she is lively and active. It's just that I can't go to the street for a while, I'm bored at home, and I'm almost sick, and I ask my old parents to think of a charter for the villain. ”
