Chapter 041: The Zhen Family
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and Lin Hong was the first to ask, "What does Uncle Thirteen mean......?" ”
"You just know it in your heart, although you can't get to us for the time being, but I don't know how long it will take for this matter to end, you will have to play in the next township test, if you are lucky enough to go to high school, and then go to the capital and then be more fortunate to stay in the Hanlin Academy, this matter is to pretend to be deaf and dumb." Old Man Lin said earnestly.
It is disgusting to have a nest of snakes and rats in the court, but what is even more annoying is that there is no position to want to be left and right.
It's not the emperor, how big is your face, thinking about the left and right, such a person is the grass on the wall, generally speaking, it was the first person to clean it up.
"My nephew was taught." Lin Hong, Lin Tao and Lin Yang stood up and answered.
"Sit down, I'm just reminding you, I don't know what the situation will be at that time, our Lin family's ancestors are loyal to the emperor." As for which emperor to be loyal to, it is up to the benevolent to see the wise and the wise.
"Yes!"
The most important thing is to let Master Lin sit firmly in the position of this household member, if Master Lin does not sit in this position, not only will he be noted in the history department, but the household department will also send Lang Zhong of the five grades, and the difficulty of the road to the rise of Master Lin will increase a lot.
Just look at Jia Zheng, it's not uncommon for people to stay in the position of a foreigner all their lives.
"I've already asked people to inquire, today's Huzhou Weaving Lord Zhen is the grandmother of today's saint, and he is loyal to the emperor, but he can't help it in private." Lin Xiao pouted, there is no need to say it too clearly, everyone can understand what it means, isn't it corruption and bribery, the vast majority of officials in the officialdom will be like this, just that little bit of money can't support a family at all, this weaving is fat, such a big piece of fat is sent to his mouth, if he doesn't take a bite, he will be a fool.
In fact, almost everyone in the officialdom knows about the corruption and bribery of local officials such as rivers, tea administration, weaving, and official salt, and the only difference is the amount of corruption and bribery. After all, who can say for sure what is happening in the officialdom, anyway, it's not that you are being exploited, so why offend people.
There are three major weaving in the south of the Yangtze River, Huzhou, Gusu and Jiangning, in addition to managing the weaving of their own duties, but also to report the situation everywhere with dense folds, which is really the eyes and ears of the emperor.
Originally, local officials and weaving did not have any overlap in their positions, but Master Lin is now in charge of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division, which is also in charge of Hangzhou weaving, and this sales only look at the text explanation to know how many cats are greasy in it.
As the saying goes, cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, if Master Lin is not interested in offending the Zhen family in this regard......
Of course, the Zhen family at this time was not as prominent as described in "A Dream of Red Mansions", first, their only backer, the emperor was not yet in power, and the emperor himself was unable to protect himself by crossing the river in Mupusa, where could he manage the nurse's family as a slave; Second, the Zhen family has neither taken over four times, nor has a daughter as a concubine in the palace, let alone married with other meritorious families, and is still in a position of being a man with his tail between his legs at this stage.
At this time, if it is tough, the Lin family may not be afraid of the Zhen family.
It's just that there is no need for that, and I just said that the emperor must have taken action in recent years, and the emperor at this time is sensitive and thoughtful, in case he understands the-for-tat between the Lin family and the Zhen family as the Lin family's support for the ministers and hatred of the Lin family, then the Lin family will be wronged.
"Lord Zhen's ancestral home is in Jinling, can our family have a relationship with the Zhen family?" Lin Xiao looked at Master Lin and asked.
Master Lin's branch has settled down as an official in Jinling and Duzhong, and said that it is not necessary to turn a corner to get involved with the Zhen family, which is very common in the family. Even if the family becomes a poor family, it is also fearful, which is the reason for this, no one knows how many connections there will be behind the family.
Master Lin thought for a while and said: "I can't talk about friendship, there are so many intersections." When the emperor was still alive, one year my mother entered the palace to congratulate me on New Year's Day, and I don't know what happened, and there was no news from the palace, but I heard my mother once say that she helped Mrs. Zhen. There is still support for the current emperor, and the positions of the Lin family and the Zhen family are the same. ”
It's just that after supporting the emperor, the Zhen family is on the rise, but the Lin family is about to fall lonely because of filial piety, and the two people have completely changed positions, and I don't know if the Zhen family will be a villain or something.
Connections or something are just a deterrent, whether others will help in the end, who knows if people are separated from their stomachs, and they still have to have their own money.
Lin Hong thought for a while and said, "What about the Zhen family's in-laws?" "It is not impossible to save the country with a curve.
Master Lin shook his head, "The Zhen family used to be just a broken household, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the risk of entering the palace to be a nurse for the emperor's grandson, but at that time, who looked down on the Zhen family, even if it was a bet, it wasn't like that." After the emperor succeeded to the throne, there was a shallow marriage between the Zhen family and the family, but most of those people were from the Han family and the second-class meritorious family, and our family's connections were all in the family and the top meritorious family, where would there be friendship. ”
Everyone has their own circle, especially in the officialdom, there are few people who jump out of their own circle and play in other circles, unless they are promoted or their descendants are unfilial and decay. In this case, the Lin family is so likely to have a relationship with those people, and they are not people in the same circle at all.
The Lin family now looks like only Master Lin is a bit miserable as an official, but when Old Lady Lin is there, the Lin family is in the top circle, and Old Lady Lin hasn't been gone for long, as long as Master Lin can quickly rise to the fourth rank in the future, or can maintain the holy grace, then the circle of the Lin family will not fall, and the people who come and go in the capital are still the princess's fate.
"Now the situation in the capital is unclear, Lord Zhen should not dare to act rashly, although he has taken root in Huzhou, but we are not easy to mess with. In my opinion, how about visiting as an old friend and testing it first? Lin Xiao said.
It's not yet March, and although Master Lin and his predecessor have taken over government affairs, they have not officially taken office, so the officialdom of Huzhou City has not held any welcome banquet for Master Lin, and they are still at the level where they don't know their faces. If you want to play the friendship card, this is the best time to play.
