Hearing that Wang Zhidu promised to allocate funds, a stone pressed in Lin Zaoguan's heart fell to the ground.

The current Lin Zaokan is a bit of a strong outsider, and it looks very strong on the surface, but in fact, the inner bag is empty, and even the club's salary for next month can't be paid.

During the expedition to the west, all the savings of the Anle Hall were embezzled, and then they borrowed some from the Heyi Hall.

Now the cash has been paid from the king's tax envoy, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

On the way back from the Shenwei Lieshui, Lin Zaikan ordered the Four King Kongs:

"The silver will be sent to the silver treasury of the main hall of Anle Hall first, and let Uncle Song collect it! As for those on the side of Heyitang, they owe it first. ”

After arriving at the entrance of the hall, Lin Tailai thought about the next affairs.

The most important thing left in the month is, of course, the government test at the end of the month!

If you compare the examination system a few hundred years later, it is equivalent to the unified high school entrance examination in the city, and now it is time to prepare for registration and examination.

Preparing for the construction of the tax customs can allow Ma Yingming to do the preliminary stage first, and the integration of the site can only wait for the government to do it himself.

And it's not just the territory that needs to be integrated, but also a bunch of different industries under the mess under the hands, and even many of their own people can't tell the difference.

There is a main hall, a branch hall larger than the main hall, a fish market, and now there are more taxes, and there will be several more industries in the future, and the organizational system is indeed too chaotic.

It is no wonder that after the community in the film and television film becomes bigger and stronger, it must be corporatized and collected.

Therefore, Lin Zaikan realized that the integration and rationalization of the subordinate industries and associations should start as soon as possible.

But this is a very energy-consuming job, and I can't spare my energy now, so I can only talk about it after the government exam.

As for today, I would like to first call those county officials who visited him at Sun Lianlian's house and were more loyal to him in the "Yang Zhen Murder of His Wife" incident.

Then he and the chief accountant Ma Yingming formed a customs preparation team and immediately sent them to Mudu Port for preliminary preparations.

Lin Zaoguan likes to use cadres who have been tested by adversity, and the most trusted Uncle Song, the left and right protectors, and the four King Kongs have all been tested for a long time.

As for the officials who visited him, but ignored the "Yang Zhen Killing His Wife" incident, they all stood aside, and the tea money was not refunded.

Although those "loyal" officials didn't help much, Lin sat in the hall to see the attitude.

Lin Zaikguan, who had returned from Hushu Pass, was sitting in the National Planning Hall, thinking deeply about his work, when a guy suddenly interrupted his train of thought.

"Sit down! On the side of Mudu Town, the Southern Army and the Northern Army, which were responsible for leaving behind to clean up the territory, were tense again, and they were almost about to fight! ”

Lin sat in the hall and said in shock: "What Southern Army and Northern Army? Where did the Southern Army and the Northern Army come from in Mudu Town? Officers and soldiers have come to sweep the black? ”

The guy hurriedly explained: "The southern army is the people of the fish market, and the northern army is the people of Heyitang, one south and one north, so it is named."

The key is that Huang Wuniang and Sister-in-law Fan personally lead the team, and others dare not care! ”

These two unconscious! Lin sat in the hall and scolded secretly, waved his big hand and said, "Put the Yangtze River high!" ”

Gao Changjiang: "??? ”

Lin asked, "Didn't you say last time that if they confronted each other, you could be responsible for settling the dispute?" ”

Gao Changjiang replied indifferently: "I'm not the master of Mudu Port, so it's better to let the master of Mudu Port go." ”

His heart is already cold, and there will be no more enthusiasm. Take a salary and get a job.

In front of the storyteller of the Wulong Tea Room, what kind of heart do you have to do in Mudugang?

Lin Zaoguan pointed in the direction outside the gate, "What do you think of this neighborhood in Nanhao?" ”

Gao Changjiang replied: "Nature is one of the essence areas of Suzhou City. ”

Today, there are only a few most prosperous commercial districts in Suzhou City, and outside the city wall are Shangtang, Shantang and Nanhao;

And inside the city wall, there are the East and West Middle Market, Wolong Street, and Pingjiang Road.

Lin Tailai sighed: "I am fighting with the county government to set up a Nanhao Market Management Office, and there is a lack of a mastermind."

As for the future, if possible, I would like to bring together the three major blocks of Nanhao, Shangtang and Shantang and turn them into the municipal management office. ”

"My subordinates go to the soup for the sake of the museum, and they don't give up!" Gao Changjiang suddenly felt that his whole body was full of passion again.

Then he asked eagerly and expectantly, "By the way, there should also be a position like a manager, right?" There must be a shortage of people, right? ”

Lin sat in the hall and said angrily: "I am the head of the house!" ”

Gao Changjiang really wanted to ask, is there a bit of a part-time job in the museum?

But when I thought of the position of Nanhao Market Management Office, I couldn't help it, it wasn't really interesting to be Chen Gong.

I heard Lin sit in the hall and say: "Before the government exam, you can deal with more specific chores here in the hall, and I want to prepare for the government exam." ”

Gao Changjiang always felt that the cause of the club was thriving, the situation was already very good, and he was always striving for fame and fame, and the painting style was too weird.

The main reason is that Gao Changjiang thinks that the upper limit of the imperial examination for people like sitting in the museum is probably not high, and it is not cost-effective to invest too much.

So Gao Changjiang knocked on the side and said: "It may be more affordable to find a backer directly, and now you have also climbed to Shenfu?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "The backer mountain will fall, instead of always counting on others to be the backer, it is better to work hard to be your own backer!" ”

Gao Changjiang couldn't understand this realm, and he still felt that it was very separate to pursue the imperial examination while engaging in clubs, like a paradox.

Lin Tailai reprimanded: "What do you know! Even if you are lucky in the future and are lucky enough to get an official and a half-job, you must have money and resources under your hands to be an official easily.

For example, if a person goes to a field to be a county magistrate, is it easy to be overshadowed by the county's heroes and servants, and there is nowhere to show his strength?

But what if this magistrate can take hundreds of thugs to take office, and all the thugs can be arranged to work as temporary workers in various rooms of the county government? ”

Gao Changjiang: "."

How can this kind of county magistrate still feel like grabbing land at the entrance of the community?

Although most of his subordinates were dissatisfied with the attitude of sitting in the hall to take the government examination, Lin Tailai has become the focus of this government examination.

The chief examiner of the government examination is Zhu Zhifu, and he is talking to Liu Tuiguan about Lin Tailai to participate in the government examination.

Although Zhu Zhifu is only a four-grade prefect, his mansion is the world's first economic town, Suzhou Mansion, which is higher than the invisible grade of ordinary prefects, and can also be called a half-step boss.

After listening to Liu Tuiguan's report, Governor Zhu also felt a little headache: "How can there be such a troublesome character to take the exam?" ”

On one side is Wang Shizhen, the old alliance leader and Wang Xijue, a university scholar behind him, and on the other side is Shen Fu and Shen Shoufu behind him.

I thought before that Lin Tailai was not so important to the Shen Mansion, and it was nothing to sell the old alliance leader of the king to save face, and the mansion would try to brush off Lin Tailai.

But now it seems that the second son of Shen is still very supportive of Lin Tailai.

The prefect is still incredible, such a small person, participating in a small government test, actually has to take into account the faces of the cabinet bosses.

Thinking of the troubles, Zhu Zhifu shouted to Liu Tuiguan: "What do you say about the trouble you found!" ”

Liu Tuiguan thought about it for a night before he came up with a clue, so he put forward his opinion and said:

"The only way to do this now is to make it a little difficult for Lin Tailai openly in the government examination, and then treat it fairly."

The purpose of making it a little difficult to make it public is to show that it takes it seriously.

and then treated impartially, in order to find a suitable excuse, no matter whether Lin Tailai can pass the test or not, there is an explanation for all parties.

If Lin Tai had come, he could explain to the leader of the old alliance of Wang: "Fuzun has tried his best, but the enemy army is too strong";

If Lin Tailai can't come, he can explain to the Shen government: "I wanted to give Lin Tailai a chance to be the head of the case, or make a good story in the literary world, but I didn't expect Lin Tailai, who is famous for poetry and literature, to be so useless."

Zhu Zhifu nodded and said, "Maybe you can try." ”

Of course, he also understands that this idea is not perfect, and it is easy to displease both ends.

But in the psychology of not wanting to risk making a choice, and not wanting to tear your face directly with either side, this is the best way to fool.

For those officials who are often caught in the vortex of conflicting interests of various parties, if they do not fool around, they are not qualified officials.

About ten days before the government exam, the shopkeeper Feng of the Wulong Tea Room was slowly checking out.

Seeing a few scholars coming in, he suddenly said, "It seems that the old alliance leader has not heard from him for a long time, and he still owes a new list of five sons!" ”

Shopkeeper Feng also felt that the old alliance leader had indeed not heard from him for a long time.

A man who read a book drinking tea said, "How can he have news?" He was sick again. ”

Shopkeeper Feng said, "Oh! ”

"He is still sick, this time, he was faint, and he went to Hushu Pass to provoke Lin Daguan. Lin Daguan's temper, can he be provoked? ”

"What happened?"

"How? I drank medicine first, and then I raised it, and after raising it for more than half a month, I still didn't get cured. ”

"And then?"

"And then there was no recovery."

"What if you are not healed?"

"How? Who knows? Xu has left Suzhou. ”

Shopkeeper Feng didn't ask anymore, and still slowly settled his account.

In Gusu Yizhong, Wang Lao Meng held the list of new five sons, and only his son Wang Shiqi and Feng Shike were left by his side.

It's been almost two months since the literary conference, and few people can afford to continue to spend it.

The leader of the Wang Lao Alliance, who had just recovered from his qi illness, also had no intention of fighting, and just wanted to announce the list of the new five sons, create the last bit of heat, and then leave.

Wang Shiqiao said helplessly: "The day before yesterday, the government announced that the case was overturned for Lin Tailai, and the case changed from Lin Tailai forcing rape to death to the plaintiff's murder of his wife and framing him.

What's even more bizarre is that the plaintiff actually committed suicide by throwing himself into the water after being testified by the villagers.

This incident caused a sensation in the whole city, and this is the hottest topic in the past few days.

At this time, father, you announced the list of new five sons, and you couldn't grab the heat at all. ”

The old alliance leader Wang, who didn't have much spirit, sighed, "If there is no heat after the list is announced, then it will be meaningless, then how many days will you wait?" ”

Wang Shiqiao and Feng Shike were both a little sad, and the leader of the old alliance Wang, who had always been decisive, was so hesitant and hesitant.

Lin Tailai, the topic figure who once again dominated the list, was in the Shen Mansion to fool Shen Ergongzi into doing business when he heard the news of the official rehabilitation.

He said to Shen Ergongzi: "Finally got rid of the status of a felon!" ”

Then immediately stood up and turned to leave.

Shen Yongjia hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "I want to hurry up and find that Xia Xiucai as a guarantee and sign up for the government exam!"

Otherwise, there are only ten days left before the government exam, and I am afraid that it will be too late. ”

Xia Xiucai is the old Xiucai who was introduced by Zhang Youyu during the previous county examination and gave Lin Tailai as a guarantee.

The registration for the county test and the government examination needs to have a student member as a guarantee, and this time it is simply not bothering the two masters, and looking for Xia Xiucai.

After all, Lin Tailai himself is involved in the underworld, and he is still the kind of big boss, the political risk is too great, and it is difficult to find a show talent who is willing to take money and risk as a guarantee.

Shen Yongjia said dissatisfiedly: "I'm only halfway through the matter here, and you're leaving, are you polite?" ”

Lin Tailai sighed: "If the second master, you were not stripped of your clothes because of fraud in the township test three years ago, and you are still a showman, then I can directly ask you as a guarantee, why spend money to invite others?" ”

"Get out!" Shen Yongjia said angrily.

Then he felt thirsty, so he asked his subordinates to boil water and make tea.

Lin Tailai came out of the Shen Mansion and hurriedly came to Xia Xiucai's house near Leqiao.

Xia Xiucai, who is in his fifties and doesn't care about his political future at all, just wants to make money to support his old age, is very happy, and he will do things when he receives money.

Immediately, he was about to help Lin Tailai write a letter of guarantee, but after he picked up a pen and wrote a few words, Xia Xiucai suddenly remembered something and asked:

"I remember that when Deng Xianzun first took office at the beginning of the month, he received eight lawsuits against you, did you close the case?"

Lin Tailai was also a little puzzled about this, "I'm not sure, I'll go to the county government to ask!" ”

Xia Xiucai also said: "It stands to reason that the results of all important cases will be posted on the eight-character wall outside the gate of the county government.

But I haven't heard of it, and if you can't close the case before the government exam, it's quite troublesome. ”

Hearing this, Lin Tailai couldn't sit still again, turned around and returned to the Shen Mansion.

Humbly asked: "My second master, can you take care of me and go to the county government with me?" ”

Shen Yongjia held the still warm tea cup: "."

After inquiring at the county office, I learned that after the news of "Yang Zhen committed suicide in fear of crime" was made public, the eight plaintiffs took the initiative to withdraw the case.

This may be a coincidence, but Deng Zhixian has been reluctant to publicize it for some reason.

Another day later, the old alliance leader of the king of Gusu Yi was walking in the garden and asked his son, "Is it time for the new list of five sons to be announced?" ”

Wang Shiqiang replied: "However, the county government announced yesterday that there were eight lawsuits against Lin Tailai, and all the plaintiffs took the initiative to withdraw the case, which caused a huge sensation.

The whole city is talking about this, and they are talking about whether there is a shady scene, which is more lively than the last time the case was overturned. ”

The old alliance leader Wang, who was sluggish, sighed, "Do you have to wait for the government to try it?" ”

Wang Shiqiao was very worried and said: "After the government test, if Lin Tailai is brushed down, I am afraid that it will cause heated discussions again!" ”

The leader of the old alliance really didn't want to stay any longer, he needed time to recover his fighting spirit and make up for the double trauma of mental and physical damage.

Then he spoke again: "The feng shui in Suzhou is not good, so let's go to Nanjing."

In the second half of the year, we will take the opportunity of the Nanzhili Township Test and the gathering of scholars in Nanjing to hold another literary conference! ”

Wang Shiqiang also agreed: "Without Lin Tailai in Nanjing, the next literary conference will be a success!" ”

Since then, the people of Suzhou have not seen the old alliance leader for several days.

The day before the entrance examination, the shopkeeper Feng of the Wulong Tea Room looked at the scholars who came in and said, "The old alliance leader still owes the new list of five sons!" ”

The scholar replied: "I didn't see it when I went to Gusuyi, but the old alliance leader did leave Suzhou. ”

I wanted to explode, but Carvin was in a hurry, so I had to make the transition first
