Chapter 37: Violence Cannot Solve the Problem (Part I)

Originally, Professor Lin had an extra 300 taels of silver in his pocket today, put on a long shirt, and thought about finding a place to spend.

Mainly in the most prosperous city in the world, we will investigate the high-end tertiary industry of this era and accumulate experience for entrepreneurship.

Unexpectedly, he was drunk by Zhang Liangshu, and his heart that almost floated up recognized the reality again. Although you, Lin Tailai, have been a little popular on the street for a few days, you are still a low-level civilian in essence!

It can be seen that Zhang Liangshu's patience has reached the limit, and he even said that he was sent to repair the river.

After fooling around for many days, I was busy setting up a name, brushing traffic, and making money, although there were small results, I was not busy in vain.

But these are all personal matters, and his mind is not on the official business at all, no wonder Zhang Liangshu's temper broke out.

So it's not okay to don't do business today, Lin Tai came and left, and remembered something, and reported to Zhang Liangshu:

"We attach great importance to the entry into the capital, and are ready to set up a branch to be responsible for the affairs of the capital.

I've been researching where the entrance to the hall should be located these days, and I'm looking at a place at the moment. ”

Zhang Liangshu was not interested in these things, and asked perfunctorily: "Where?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "Gusu Station is the best location. ”

"Get out!" The chapter grain book concisely expresses the attitude.

Lin Tailai still didn't give up: "Aren't all post stations under the management of the county government?" I see that Gusuyi occupies a large area, can you divide a small courtyard from it for me? I can pay the rent! ”

Zhang Liangshu said: "Don't be a toad and want to eat swan meat!" It is the most luxurious post house in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are two counties in Suzhou City, both of which use this post house! So there is a unified management and scheduling of the government office!

Besides, the people who live in Gusu Station are either rich or expensive, what kind of system does the Tangkou stick disciple have in and out, and it is a sin to disturb the nobles, who dares to take this responsibility? ”

Lin Tailai explained: "It's not that I am greedy for the vanity of Gusuyi, but that the main thing is to set up the hall in a building related to the yamen, which can raise the image of the hall and make the people more respectful, which is a psychological skill......

Zhang Liangshu sneered: "I don't see you doing the right thing, thinking about these useless rituals every day!" ”

Words are not speculative, this boss pattern is too low, Lin Tailai is too lazy to say, and took the initiative to leave.

When he got outside, he joined the Zhang brothers, found a restaurant on the street, dealt with a few casually, and then went out of the city gate and went to the Yidu area to step on the field.

Walking on the street, some people have begun to recognize Lin Tai coming, and occasionally take the initiative to greet them, which is the result of the struggle some time ago.

That is, the titles are varied, and they are very inconsistent, some are called "strong men", some are called "leaders", some are called "sir", and some are called "big officials".

But Lintera believes that over time, there will eventually be a growing and most popular term that will become a personal label.

Theoretically, as long as you go out of Xu Gate, the outside of the city wall is all over the range, so the distance is very close, Lin Tailai did not take a boat, and walked directly with his legs.

At present, the Shen family has bought more than 200 acres of land in Yidu Santu and built Yizhuang. Although it is not big, everyone knows that this is just the beginning, and the money and grain of 200 acres of land are just sprouts.

And the territory that the county government divided to Lin Tailai is the five parts of the first map, the second map, the fourth map, the fifth map, and the sixth map, just to encircle the Shen family.

From east to west, you can cross the Nanhao neighborhood that clings to the moat, and the fields you can see belong to the city.

It is worthy of being the first map of the county, and it is so close to the city gate.

In fact, the picture is the inside, and the picture is the mile, with grassroots self-management personnel such as the chief and the elderly, which is very extensive.

Originally, there was also the position of the grain chief who was responsible for collecting and reconciling money and grain, but not many people were willing to be the grain chief.

The function of collecting money and grain was gradually taken away by those who could afford to pay for money and food, such as community halls and wealthy families.

Since you have come here to plant a flag, the first step must be to say hello to the local lieutenants and declare their existence. If you are willing to cooperate, you may have to talk about numbers.

Lin Tailai and his entourage walked in the fields, the front and back are the scenery of the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, it is the busy farming season, and there are few idlers swaying on the road.

This is the first time since the crossing that he went to the countryside to collect the "protection tax", Lin Tailai couldn't help but think, how can he pretend to be very proficient?

A lot of reading experience in the previous life is completely inapplicable here, and the background of the situation is too bad after all.

Fortunately, there were still two "community elders" around him, so Lin Tailai casually asked the Zhang brothers: "Before you went to the fish market, did you go to the countryside to collect the money?" How do you deal with those who don't cooperate? ”

The boss Zhang Wen replied: "Of course we have done something, most people still pay the imperial grain national tax normally. If I really encounter those who resist taxes and owe taxes, I try my best to find a way to collect them.

For example, you can throw feces on his door; or stole his chicken, cut off the head of the chicken and put it at the door;

or cut off a lock of hair when his child is alone; There is also a torch lit and thrown into his yard during the day, but according to the rules, it cannot be done at night. ”

Lin Tailai: "......"

This is all a mess of indiscriminate methods, and the style is too low-end and obscene, and it can't be put on the table at all.

"You are too bad, don't you have a majestic and high-spirited face to face the enemy?" Lin Tailai questioned.

Zhang Wen complained: "Who doesn't want to be a hero? There are only dozens of people in our Anle Hall, and we can't afford to raise more than that, and we can't afford to sprinkle the fifteen pictures under our control, how many people can there be in each picture?

But these people in the countryside, how can they shout out seven or eight men of the same clan? Plus there can be more than a dozen friends in the neighborhood, right?

When encountering those big clans, dozens of strong laborers can be dispatched casually, and we are generally three or five people, how can we be good men? ”

Lin Tailai was speechless, so the clubs in those films in his previous life liked to gather in "Yau Tsim Wang" and didn't like to go to Yuen Long, that's the reason.

But the second Zhang Wu said at this time: "Others can't do it, but I believe that sitting in the hall must be a hero, and he will collect the money with great dignity!" ”

Lin Tailai was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "No, no, no, we must respect the tradition in doing things, and don't destroy the fine tradition at will!" ”

The main reason is that Professor Lin is very sober, and he can still beat more than a dozen with double whips, and if he encounters dozens or hundreds of people with farm tools and falls into the vast sea of the people, he will definitely have to kneel.

After all, this is the plane of reality, and it is not a lawn mower.

Then he taught Zhang Wu and said: "Besides, we who are bastards pay attention to righteousness, and our belief is to serve the people!"

We should give priority to explanation and persuasion to the people, so that the people can understand the benefits of our money and food, so how can we fight and kill at every turn? ”

Zhang Wu muttered and said, "Don't you do it today?" I thought I could see the heroic posture of sitting in the hall and killing all sides, from the first picture to the sixth picture. ”

Lin Tailai scolded: "Idiot! Do you know what it means to be just and easy to fold? ”
