Chapter 71: Who Calls the Shots in My Marriage
Tang Lin stopped talking, looked at the night by the river, and after a while, he said: "The relationship between the Yizhou Yamen is very complicated, and some people who are good at drilling camps, I know that you are recommended by me, and I will definitely take your path and do everything I can to bribe you." In the face of money and beauty, you have to be cautious. I heard that there are many people who want to sell their homes to you at a low price, but you flatly refuse, and you are doing a good job. Don't ruin your future for those petty profits. ”
Xiao Jiading's heart sank, and there was a slight cold sweat on his forehead, but fortunately, he saw this situation in advance, and he was not tempted in the face of bribery.
Tang Lin didn't look at him, just looked at the night, and continued: "I heard that you bought the land of the county government and rented it out in a shop?" ”
Xiao Jiading was even more surprised, it turned out that his every move was under Tang Lin's control, and he should be more careful in the future. However, although he took advantage of the purchase of land, it was also sold by the yamen, and the price was the same to the outside world, so there was no bribery. So he wasn't worried that Tang Lin would reprimand him for this, and he didn't need to hide it, so he replied honestly: "Yes." It was built by the foreman in advance, I have no money, and the interest is still a bit high, two cents. I don't know if the road will not be paid off until the Year of the Monkey. ”
Tang Lin said: "You build shops along the street for rent, this idea is good." If you don't have money, it's easy to fall into the abyss of greed, and you can only be tempted to face temptation if you have proper money. From that point of view, I support you in finding a way to make money. ”
Xiao Jiading was very surprised, the social status of businessmen in the Tang Dynasty was very low, and the whole society looked down on business, I didn't expect Tang Lin to be different, he actually affirmed himself, which made Xiao Jiading surprised and delighted. I was about to answer. Tang Lin's next words made him confused again. Tang Lin said: "However, since you have taken the official career, you can't do business, this is the rule of the imperial court." ”
Xiao Jiading's heart was cold again, and he looked at Tang Lin suspiciously.
Tang Lin continued: "Of course, strictly speaking, building a shop for rent is not considered a business, but this is okay for low-level officials, but when you reach high-level officials, it is your stumbling block." Do you understand? ”
Xiao Jiading was stunned, can I be a high-ranking official?
Tang Lin didn't look at him at all, and continued to talk to himself: "However, the laws of the imperial court do not prohibit the family members of officials who have made great achievements from doing business. Especially for low-ranking officials like you. So, you can leave the shop to someone other than Xiaogong to take care of, preferably someone who has no relationship. This is the safest, both public and private. ”
Xiao Jiading smiled bitterly: "I ......, my family ......"
Tang Lin interrupted him: "I know that you have an uncle who will help you farm. He's not the right guy, though. ”
Xiao Jiading was taken aback again, it seemed that Tang Lin had learned about himself, but he didn't know if he had seen through his fake road guide. However, judging from the promotion of himself in his expression, he should not have checked it, but believed the information on his fake road guide, otherwise, he would not have promoted a person of unknown origin. Thinking of this, he was a little relieved. He said: "My cousin grows vegetables, and my land is very large, so I don't need so much to build a house, so I'm going to open up the land and plant some medicinal herbs or something." I have already told my cousin that their family will help me grow medicinal herbs. ”
"Growing herbs is the same as growing crops, it is not a business. You have no problem doing this. However, when you have a lot of property, you need a trustworthy person to take care of it, is there a suitable candidate? ”
Speaking of this, Tang Lin finally turned his head to look at him.
Xiao Jiading thought for a while and said, "Not yet." It would be best if the boss recommended one for me. ”
Xiao Jiading had already seen that the reason why Tang Lin talked about this topic must be for this purpose.
Sure enough, Tang Lin said: "Okay, then I'll find a housekeeper for you." - What do you think of Crazy Mei? ”
"Crazy plum?" Xiao Jiading was surprised.
"Well," Tang Lin said slowly, "I let Crazy Mei follow you, originally there was only one purpose, that is, to let you have beauty around you, so that it is not easy to fall into the beauty trap of others." ”
Xiao Jiading suddenly realized and blurted out: "It turns out that Crazy Mei is the boss, you helped her redeem herself?" ”
After asking this sentence, Xiao Jiading immediately understood that Crazy Mei used an aphrodisiac to bait herself and dedicated her chastity to herself, but did not ask for anything. I guessed that she should be instructed by someone else to do this, and thought that sooner or later she would tell the person behind the scenes, but I didn't expect that this person did have it, but it was Tang Lin! And Tang Lin arranged it this way, just so that his family would have beauty, so that he would not steal food outside and fall for other people's beauty schemes. It's a unique idea.
However, if this is the case, then his weight in Tang Lin's heart should be very heavy.
Why does he think so highly of himself? Cultivating yourself deliberately? Xiao Jiading couldn't figure it out for a while, but he believed that there was no free lunch in the world, and Tang Lin must have a deep purpose in doing this. As for what the purpose is, I will definitely know the Tao in the future.
Tang Lin said: "I have sent someone to have an in-depth understanding of this person. Her family background is very innocent, her father was originally in business, and he was very successful, but because of an accident, all his family's shops were destroyed in a big fire, so he fell seriously ill and unfortunately died, and his mother followed. The rest of his family fortune was lost by her gambling brother, and she was also sold to the church. You don't have to worry about her background. If you wish, you can make her your concubine in the future. However, you can't be your wife, your marriage must be cautious! If you want, I can help you choose. ”
I'm against it! Xiao Jiading opened his mouth and was about to say this, why? Just because you're one of the former leaders of the country can influence my marriage? I am in charge of my marriage, and I can't care about your officials. However, when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, and he was not in a hurry to object, anyway, he didn't have a favorite object now, and he didn't have a woman who had to marry, and he didn't even plan to tie up a tree so early and live up to the great forest. So watch and walk first. Don't block the road.
However, after listening to Tang Lin's words, he was even more sure in his heart that this Tang Lin must have some major plan, and he was probably one of the members who helped him realize the plan. And he was an important member, which is why he took so much trouble to arrange all this. Even their own marriages. Thinking about this section, Xiao Jiading couldn't help but shudder a little, and he didn't know what Tang Lin would let him do in the future. Will there be any significant danger?
It seems that I have to be careful about everything, don't be used as a gun and make myself still unaware.
Xiao Jiading was thinking about it in his mind, and when he saw Tang Lin turning his head to look at him with some suspicion, he hurriedly looked surprised and said, "Yes!" Thank you, Boss, it's the best to have Boss help me choose a good mate! ”
"Hmm!" Tang Lin nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "An adult man can't lack women around him, otherwise, he will be taken advantage of by his opponents." What a taboo for soldiers! So, before you got married, I let Crazy Mei sleep next to you, that's how I thought about it. ”
What is the adversary? Xiao Jiading chuckled in his heart, as expected, Tang Lin was fighting with whom, and he would become an important move in his hand, so he valued himself so much.
So who is this adversary? Those who can become his opponents must be not small. Could it be the Metropolitan Governor and Assassin Li Ke? Or is it the long history of the state capital yamen, don't drive? Thinking about it, these are the only ones who can act as his opponents.
Wait, what if the opponent is not in Yizhou? Is that the capital? This Tang Lin used to be the secretary of the criminal department of Zheng Sanpin, and he was a degraded official in Yizhou, and his opponent may be the powerful minister of the capital court, Tang Lin was defeated in this confrontation and wanted to make a comeback. Let yourself be a pawn?
My goodness, this is a dangerous job, don't look for me, I still want to eat and watch beautiful women with my head saved.
His eyes rolled in his heart, but Tang Lin looked at the night, and then said: "After I heard that you are starting a business, I have a new idea, which is why I called you here today. - Crazy Mei is a very good financial helper, let her help you take care of your business, you can rest assured. You can also concentrate on your own career. What do you think? ”
When Tang Lin said this, Xiao Jiading's brain turned quickly, and he had already made up his mind, Tang Lin's big ship must be taken, only in this way can he rise to the top, as for helping him deal with the opponent, then there is no way, he has a brain, he can think, there is a real danger, avoiding danger is definitely the first choice, and he must not put his life on the line in order to repay the kindness of his knowledge. Your hands, feet, and mouth are all your own, and you have to decide what you want to do.
When Tang Lin dragged out his long emphasis and asked him for his opinion, Xiao Jiading had already figured out his basic principles in this matter, and hurriedly said: "The person recognized by the boss is naturally not wrong, so I will hand over the business to Crazy Mei from now on." ”
"Hmm." Tang Lin nodded with satisfaction, changed his words, and said, "The Zhao murder case and Liu Xiangzheng's murder case you handled a few days ago are very good. It's crisp and clean, and I'm satisfied. Do it later. Handle the case carefully, and if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me. ”
"Yes!" Xiao Jiading hesitated for a moment and said, "Liu Xiangzheng's case implicated some people, I don't know what to do." Can the Boss give me some pointers? ”
Tang Lin said: "Is it involved in Liu Xiangzheng's bribery?" ”
Xiao Jiading was stunned for a moment, this Tang Lin was really too godly, or rather, he was really too shrewd, and he actually said Xiao Jiading's troubles in an instant. But it's nothing to think about, because Tang Lin attaches great importance to his legal skills, so it is definitely not legal things that stump him, but because it is a reason other than the case, and this reason often comes from things like corruption. At the same time, this Liu Xiangzheng even knew that the old scribe Du Dayin had bought his official, so how could he escape the ears of an old fox like Tang Lin.
