Successfully convincing Wang Shiqi is undoubtedly a good start, of course, this kind of young master of the family, who is a genius in the southeast, will not bow to Fan Jin because of Fan Jin's words. But as long as he realizes that Fan Jin is not an ordinary person, he really wants to make a career when he comes to Shangyuan, and he is not a bastard who comes here to rub his qualifications and leave when the time comes. As for what Fan Jin wants to do, it is all within his scope of authority, Wang Shizhen can't stop it, and he doesn't have to stop it.

Although the power of the local gentry in Jiangning has a great impact on whether Wang Shizhen can safely touch the fish and cultivate immortals, could it be that Zhang Juzheng's attitude has no effect on him? As an old fritter, it is unlikely that he will stand up to help Fan Jin deal with the gentry, but he will not really help the gentry hinder Fan Jin. As the top boss, Fan Jin's credit naturally has his share. As long as Fan Jin is not messing around, let him see the hope of success, he will also give some help within his authority.

This kind of help may not be very obvious, but after all, the county officials are not as good as the current management, as long as the government can give some help, it is enough for Fan Jin to make his plan go smoothly.

When they were about to part, he deliberately handed over a song book he wrote to Wang Shiqi and entrusted him to give it to his father Wang Shizhen. After all, Wang Shizhen is a literary bureaucrat, and getting closer to him in terms of hobbies is better than giving gold, silver and jewelry.

It was Fan Jin's plagiarized later famous segment "Suolin Bag", which promoted good retribution, and there was no problem with the concept, although the words and sentences were lacking compared to the popular Kunqu Opera, but in the flower play, it had to be regarded as the top grade. Moreover, with Wang Shizhen's ability, it won't be long before this play can be changed into Kunqu Opera and staged on the stage.

Before parting, Wang Shiqi also told Fan Jin that in the matter of Feng Bangning, he would unite some Chinese people in the city to speak out and criticize Feng. Anyway, the literati in the city are already very unpleasant to see this bastard, they are just waiting for a suitable opportunity to do it, and this time since he stretched out his hand to the gentry, it is just right to make an article to teach this guy a lesson.

The meaning of his words revealed that among the people involved in this matter were Gu Xiancheng, a genius from the southeast, Liu Kanzhi, and Gao Panlong, a famous man from Wuxi who had recently traveled to Jiangning to study. In terms of momentum, it is enough to deter people's hearts, and if you think about it, Feng Bangning will have to consider the anger of the public after all, and he will not dare to mess around again for a period of time.

Fan Jin actually didn't believe very much in the role of these scribes, if the simple public opinion attack was useful, Feng Bangning would not have caused a miasma in Jiangning. But for yourself, the direction of public opinion is very useful. Whether it is the establishment of the women's school, or the lending of the imperial court, and the future determination of grades according to the number of taxes, etc., there is a suspicion of walking a tightrope in public opinion. If these literati and celebrities can say something good for themselves, then in the public opinion link, they can compete for more points.

What's more important is that the talents may break through the boots and become difficult to know the county, but on the contrary, the circle of scholars also has its own rules. A person can suppress dozens of talents, and a talent can suppress dozens of children. Wang Shiqi and these people came forward to stand on their own platform, and if Xiucai in Shangyuan wanted to make trouble again, he had to weigh the weight. Offending the old-timers of Shilin Famous Scholars has a huge impact on their future. Whether the money paid by the wealthy businessmen and gentry is worth selling has to be considered. From this point of view, the biggest help of these people's attitudes to Fan Jin is actually to stabilize public opinion, not to the outside world.

After Wang Shiqi said goodbye, Xu Weizhi sat for a while and left. His original intention of coming this time was just to support Fan Jin and let Fan Jin rest assured that he would go against Feng Bangning. But after listening to Fan Jin's words, his mind also changed. Compared with Wang Shiqi, he doesn't have so many thoughts, but he is far better than Wang at the level of pragmatism. For Fan Jin's arrangement, I saw more benefits. Before leaving, he had already taken Fan Jin's hand and said:

"Think about it, how much money do you have to spend money on the money lending of the yamen? Shall I lend you 1,000 taels first? Not enough to say more. As for cooperation with merchants, there are people in my family who are in charge of doing business, and tomorrow I will let them come to the yamen and listen to your dispatch. These are all domestic slaves, how do you tell them to listen, and make sure that no one dares to mess around. If anyone dares to take money from it, you just have to clean it up! Looking for someone to partner in business is such a thing, it is better to find a familiar life, Yang Shida's grandson and Huang Jien have too deep friendship, it is better for our buddies to cooperate. ”

It seems that he persuaded not only Wang Shiqi, but also this gentleman little grandfather. In terms of future development, this is indeed an excellent start, after all, although there are many counties in the world, there are few who can cooperate with a hereditary noble.

After all, the social environment in Jiangning is different from that of Guangdong, the power of the folk clans is not so strong, and the power of the government is still overwhelming. With the support of such a bastard overlord, the work of the land inspector is much easier. Even if some clan forces want to intervene, as long as they report the three words Xu Weizhi, they can almost scare their souls.

With this good mood, Fan Jin opened Ling Yunyi's letter by the light, and Zheng Chan came over barefoot in a transparent silk coat.

"Didn't you say you were going to teach me to read? Would you like to teach me to read letters? ”

She followed Fan Jin to read and learn words all the way, and her reading and writing skills have greatly improved compared to the past, and simple letters can be read. At this time, this dress is naturally not to read letters, but to daily fun. Looking at Fan Jin's smug appearance, Zheng Chan had already expected the hot appearance of the two later, but when she sat in her lover's arms, the other party did not put her hands up and down as she imagined, and her reaction was very cold.

"The ...... of the house What happened to you? ”

Zheng Chan could feel that Fan Jin's mood began to deteriorate after reading the letter. As a concubine, most of them will choose to stay away from men at this time, so as not to be angry and scolded. Zheng Chan naturally has no shortage of this kind of survival experience at the bottom of the society, but since she thinks that it is her life's support, she doesn't want to use this way to be perfunctory. On the contrary, she took the initiative to ask questions, even if she was really beaten because of this, as long as Fan Jinneng was in a better mood after beating herself, she would admit it.

"Is there anything bad in this letter? I heard that this Governor Ling is the old boss in charge, is there something very difficult for you to do? Isn't it home again? ”

She asked boldly, and the question she was most worried about was whether the old lady had something wrong with her bones. She didn't care if Fan Jin couldn't become an official, but her lover was just about to show her strength, and she had to go home to keep her filial piety, and the psychological gap was needless to say. Just thinking of his depressed appearance, Zheng Chan's heart shrank inexplicably. She would rather suffer and be beaten by herself than see Fan Jin show a depressed and sad expression.

Fan Jin said: "Let you say it, it's home." In this letter, Ling Junmen told me that he had received a letter from Zhang Juzheng. Let Ling Junmen arrange for someone to send my family to Beijing. ”

"Huh? Sent to Kyori? This is ......" Zheng Chan was stunned for a moment, and then her face was happy, "The master, the slave family wants to congratulate you." Zhang Juzheng will not eat too much, and move the family members of the head of the family around. This must be because he has promised to recruit the son-in-law of the family, and he is afraid that his daughter will marry in Guangdong, and it is inconvenient to take care of him far from home, so no one will know if he is bullied. simply put it under your nose and take care of it. It seems that when Zhang Xiang returns to Beijing, he will be able to get married. ”

Fan Jin touched her chest, "You're getting smarter and smarter, and you can even guess Zhang Xiang's intentions." Why, are you happy that I got married? With the eldest lady, you dress like this again to invite pets, believe it or not, she will beat you with a cane? ”

"Of course I don't like to have a lady in charge, but I also know that the head of the house and Miss Zhang are destined husband and wife, whether I like it or not, Miss Zhang has to enter the door. Besides, when she enters the door, the talent in charge has a good future. When I think about it, I figure it out. ”

Fan Jin said: "Yes, even you know that Miss Zhang has entered the door, and I have a good future, so it's no wonder that Zhang Juzheng is acting like this." It is certainly a good intention to move my family to Jingshi, but it should also be told to me. Just did the thing first without saying a word, obviously beating me, let me be careful and understand the identity gap between the two. If I dare to treat his daughter badly in the future, he will be able to break me to pieces with his backhand. In fact, I myself know that I am his daughter, and it doesn't matter what he does to me. But my mother is innocent, and it is too much to bring the old man from Guangdong to Beijing in one sentence. ”

Although Fan Jin's tone was calm, Zheng Chan could hear the anger hidden in his words, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, and echoed in his mouth: "Yes, yes, even if it is a golden branch and jade leaf, it is a beggar to marry a beggar, and a lady can not ride on her husband's head at any time." Her daughter is married to someone else as a daughter-in-law, and she always has to talk about etiquette. It doesn't matter how you bully us, but you have to be polite to the elderly, how can it be good if you get into the temper of the eldest lady and quarrel with the old lady in the Beijing Division in the future? ”

Fan Jin shook his head and said: "It's not going to happen, Shun Qing is a person who talks about etiquette, it's just that Zhang Jiangling is too domineering, and this matter has nothing to do with Shun Qing." ”

Zheng Chan saw that the bad medicine failed, and couldn't help but think about whether Fan's mother would accept her own question once she learned about the humiliation she had been in Beijing. A great sense of fear came over me, as if the end was near. Put his arm on Fan Jin's neck, bury his head in his chest and rub it gently,

"Boss, are you thinking about your Guangdong woman? One Hu and one Liang have all suffered and sinned with you. The concubines know that in the hearts of the masters, they are all more important than me. But I'm not jealous. With my background, only the person in charge is willing to be so good to me. Don't worry, I don't fight with them for anything, those clothes and jewelry, they will take whatever they like in the future, I don't dare to say a word. If the eldest lady punishes them, I will punish them for them. I just hope that after returning to Beijing, I can hug me like this. ”

"What nonsense, of course, I won't have a new person and forget the old one, and I won't forget you only with them."

"But what if the old lady knows about the concubine and wants to drive me away? In my opinion, the best way at the moment is to give me a son...... A daughter can also be, in short, if I have a child, maybe the old lady will not drive me away. ”

Fan Jin said: "Don't worry, my mother is a very good person, and she will definitely not drive you." As for wanting a son, it's very simple, let's make ...... now."

With his hand caressing Zheng Chan's smooth back, Fan Jin's mood finally calmed down, judging by the time, when he saw the letter, his family must have been on the way to Jingshi. Although Ling Yunyi said in his letter that he would take care of his people, the magistrate of Guangdong would not be stupid enough to destroy the foundation he had laid because his family had left. But with the eating appearance of his own people, Lianxianglou probably couldn't keep it. It is also difficult to predict what kind of land those blind girls will fall to, I just hope that they will not be divided up by the old bachelors who can't get a wife in their own family.

As for the field under his name, no one dares to touch it. But it is difficult to say whether anyone will take the opportunity to expand their acres of land and whether the tax rules they have so hard set will be broken. At the moment, he doesn't really care about that bit of family business, even if he loses those things, it is not difficult for him to earn them back. But when his mother was old, she was transferred from Guangzhou to Beijing, which was an extremely difficult thing for him to let go, and he felt a little more disgusted with the methods of this powerful minister.

To get a high branch, that's the price. He shook his head and said softly, "Chan'er, am I useless?" ”

"That's there...... The concubine is going to die, why does the head of the family still say that he is useless. In the future, you just have to rectify that Zhang family so ruthlessly, and see if she is obedient to you? ”

What Fan Jin didn't know was that when he sprinkled fire on Zheng Chan, the mood of the eunuch Huang Enhou also became bad because of a letter. The difference is that as a eunuch, he has no place to vent his anger, so he can only call Yizi to discuss countermeasures. Huang Jien only looks like a godfather and knows that the situation is serious. Huang hurriedly asked, "Godfather, is something wrong?" ”

"I'll tell you later, what about Feng Bangning, are you still busy with your wife?"

"This bastard thing! The woman who suffered in the Yang family came to bully me......"

"When the matter is over, the godfather will marry you another room. I'm going to use him now. ”

"How?"

"The imperial court has sent a new inspector to press the imperial history to patrol Jiangnan, although it is nominally a routine, but the news that a friend in Beijing came, this person is coming for our family. The Yang family's group of bastard things, even our family's affairs dare to be perfunctory, and the batch of satin that was shipped to Beijing last year faded. ”

Huang Jien said: "It is also a common thing for this silk to fade, it has happened in previous years, but it is just a replacement, not a fine, just let the Yang family pay for it." ”

"You said it was in the past, but this time Your Majesty knows about it! We are still young, and we can't take care of big things, so we can't care about this little thing. Besides, Your Majesty somehow contracted this love of money, and regarded a penny as bigger than the sky, so he lost his temper in this matter, and sent this inspector down, saying that he wanted to rectify the internal weaving and dyeing bureau and check the accounts of the past ten years. Now the deficit on the books is at least 50,000, where to plug it in a hurry? The only way is to mix the water so that the patrol press can't notice us, and first buy a time to come out and plug the deficit. ”

"What does godfather mean?"

"We can only let the dragon and tiger fight each other first, and then we can free our hands. You go to the Yang family to ask for some money, and if you have it, let Feng Bangning and Fan Jin fight. No matter what means are used, I have to let Jiang Ning mess up for me. ”
