Some clansmen got married, and at the dinner that night, Lin Asi, who was at the first table, drank the most.

When he woke up the next day, Lin Asi, who was lying in the old bed at home, couldn't remember how he came back last night.

Lin Asi rubbed his forehead and asked the eldest brother who was about to go to the ground, "Didn't anything bad happen last night, right?" ”

Lin Adaa replied: "It's nothing, it's just that you promised eight rivers to go out quickly." ”

Then Lin Ah Si was relieved, "It's okay, it's okay, and you should take care of the villagers." In this way, the third brother went to Mudu Port, and he also had the help of the villagers. ”

Anyway, Mudu Port is a newly opened tax customs, and the positions are all vacant, so it is a little fun to install a few rivers.

Lin Asi moved his legs and feet in the courtyard a few times, and suddenly a few bold little village girls appeared, gathered outside the door, and watched Lin Asi through the fence.

These tigers that could not be provoked made Lin Asi a little afraid, and turned his head and said to his mother:

"Gone, gone! I still have a lot of business to attend to, so I'll go back to town and then to the city!" ”

Lin Song said a few words dissatisfied, but he couldn't help it, and he couldn't stop it.

So half an hour later, Lin Tailai appeared in Hengtang Town, and changed from Lin Asi back to Lin Zaoguan.

"Call the guys, go to the main hall!" Lin sat in the pavilion and instructed the left and right protectors.

Originally, Anle Hall had seven leaders, which was a bit bloated for an eighth-rate community in the countryside.

After Lin Tailai found out the traitor and cleaned it, there are now only four leaders.

The big leader is still Lu Yibin, the master of Lu Hall, and the second leader and chief planner is still Song Quan and Uncle Song.

The original three leaders, Xu Dasheng, were purged as a traitor, and Ruan Qing, the former fifth leader who actively participated in the cleanup of the traitors, was promoted to the third leader.

In addition, the original four and seven leaders were also purged, and only the original six leaders were promoted to four leaders.

Today, the four leaders went to the countryside on errands, and the other three leaders were there, and they went to the justice hall together to meet Lin Tailai.

Lin Tailai entered the hall and said to the leaders: "Lin Tailai is sitting in the first branch of Anle Hall, and I have seen all the leaders!" ”

Hall Master Lu: "."

Facing the sitting hall of the first branch of Anle Hall, he, the head hall master, really didn't know how to respond.

The second leader, Uncle Song, came forward in place of the hall master and beckoned, "You can sit by yourself!" ”

After the seven leaders were purged, there were many empty seats in the hall, and Lin Tailai casually found a place to sit down.

Uncle Song asked again: "When you came to the main hall today, what do you have to refer to? Ask? ”

Lin Tai came to see the hall master and replied, "Recently, under the guidance of the hall master's big leader, the strength and territory of our Anle Hall can be called to grow by leaps and bounds!

Not only did the first capital and the fifth capital be included in the administrative area, but even the thirteen capitals and Yitang, which had been rivals for many years, became semi-vassal alliance halls.

This great situation is inseparable from the efforts and wisdom of the hall master. ”

Even Hall Master Lu himself couldn't listen to it anymore, and asked Lin Tailai, "What do you want to say?" ”

The three leaders, Ruan Qing, immediately persuaded: "Big brother, don't be impatient, wait for Lin to finish speaking." ”

Lin Tailai nodded approvingly to Ruan Qing, and then continued:

"In my opinion, after the development of the hall owner, the influence of our Anle Hall is no longer limited to the hall entrance area.

For example, if there are more semi-vassal alliance halls like Yitang, I am afraid that similar vassal halls will increase in the future!

At that time, Anle Hall was not only a hall, but also a headquarters of the alliance.

So I don't think the title of Grand Boss, which has obvious limitations, is no longer suitable for the hall master!

There must be a new title that can lead the community alliance in line with the development of the situation! ”

Neither Hall Master Lu nor Master Song wanted to speak, only Leader Ruan actively asked, "What do you think of Lin Zaikun?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "On behalf of the branch hall and all the social groups, I request that the hall master be honored as the head of the dragon!" ”

This title sounded quite imposing, Hall Master Lu was stunned, and then returned to reality.

Then he opened his mouth and refused: "Forget it, the name is not so important, there is no need to change it." ”

If there is no Lin Tailai, "Big Dragon" may be a very patterned name; But if there is Lin Tailai, the more majestic the name, the more ironic.

Lin sat in the pavilion as if he hadn't heard Hall Master Lu's refusal, and continued:

"The hall master must not chill the hearts of the guys, please go to the halls of the east bank of Taihu Lake in Mudu Town, and officially announce and use the name of the big dragon head!"

Hall Master Lu felt that he had really rejected a loneliness! It's a waste of saliva to say a word to Lin Tailai!

Lin Tailai asked Ruan Qing, the third leader: "Our Anle Hall is going to each hall on the east bank of Taihu Lake in Mudu Town, and the first batch of five halls invited, can you have a reply?" ”

Ruan Qing replied: "Two families are willing to be present, and the other three have not made any moves. ”

Lin Tailai scolded: "It's really a thing that doesn't have long eyes! When that garbage man Yang Zhen wanted to engage in the Taihu Lake East Shore Alliance, the five of them were very active in participating, and now they dare to snub our Anle Hall! ”

Ruan Qing replied a little worriedly: "The entire coastal area of Taihu Lake is the base of the Dongting merchant gang.

Therefore, the entrance to the east bank of Taihu Lake is more or less influenced by the Dongting merchant gang, which is very difficult. ”

Ruan Qing's words are not an exaggeration, there was a saying at that time called "Drill the sky and the cave is full of emblems".

"Hui" is the famous Hui businessman, and "Drill the Sky Dongting" refers to the Dongting Merchant Gang, which shows the strength of the Dongting Merchant Gang.

Again, the "Dongting" here refers to the east and west Dongting Mountains in Taihu Lake, not Dongting Lake.

Lin Tailai snorted coldly: "You can be afraid of difficulties and strong in doing things, and you will talk about it when you have the opportunity to touch it." As for the three cousins who refused to join the alliance, I have my own plans! ”

After saying that, the meeting was over.

Song Quan sent Lin Tailai out, and asked in private: "You have a lot of industries now, and even the Baidao tax customs have been obtained by you, why do you still hold on to the hall?" ”

This is something that many people can't understand, and they don't understand what Lin Tailai is still doing in charge of the hall.

We all know that Tangkou does not make much money by collecting taxes from the fields, and most of the money is taken away by the government.

From the perspective of profit, a society that helps the government collect land taxes is far inferior to river tax customs or a "sideline" of the fish market.

Not to mention that Lin Tailai now has the identity of a martial artist, and whitewashing and cutting is the choice of most people.

For Uncle Song, Lin Tailai can say very frankly: "Money is very important, but you can't just look at money; It doesn't make sense to just make money, you have to be powerful.

Although these halls are not very profitable, they are an indispensable help for the government to collect money and grain, and they go deep into the bottom of the countryside, which is the real power that other industries do not have!

If you can make good use of this power, you can in turn blackmail the government and officials, so why give up these halls? ”

Song Quan couldn't help but be stunned and said, "What's the use of you holding the government hostage?" What can you want? ”

Lin Tailai laughed and said: "Half of the world's wealth comes out of the southeast, and half of the southeast wealth comes out of Suzhou, so it affects the whole body."

Suzhou's wealth is like the seven inches of a snake to the imperial court, and if you can choke these seven inches, you may have the opportunity to influence the direction of the imperial court's policies.

But I'm not very sure, you don't understand if you say too much, let's take it one step at a time! ”

Song Quan: "."

Influence the policy of the imperial court? This is the layout that you should consider as a martial artist?

At this moment, Song Quan felt that he might just be a "bird", and Lin Tailai might be a "bird".

There is really a gap between people and the pattern between people.

And Carvin, ahh
