A few days ago, Lin Daguan deliberately approached Yuan Zhixian, but he didn't take a fancy to Yuan Hongdao's identity as the leader of the public security faction.

This is not an ordinary magistrate, and it has a certain status in the literary world.

Today, in addition to the retro school, Yuan Hongdao is one of the most prestigious people in the literary world.

Even from a political point of view, Yuan Hongdao's identity as a Hubei is also very important, in recent years, the Hubei literary scene has sprung up, and the imperial examination has gradually developed, which cannot be underestimated politically.

Those who are familiar with political history know that when the late Ming Dynasty fell into fierce party disputes, in addition to the Donglin Party, it was the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party, and the Chu Party in it referred to the Huguang Gang.

Why Wang Shizhen's old alliance leader wants to elect Li Weizhen as the next generation of alliance leader also has a certain relationship with Li Weizhen's Hubei background.

Moreover, Yuan Hongdao's personality charm is also good, and there are many celebrities who often write to him.

As long as Yuan Hongdao can mention his name a few more times in the letter, it will be tantamount to spreading his reputation to Shilin across the country.

Therefore, in the eyes of Lin Daguan, a celebrity like Yuan Hongdao is qualified to be "capricious", and he can completely slap the table with the government office.

He has also been fooling Yuan Zhixian to do this, how can a celebrity be called a celebrity if he doesn't have a temper?

But he didn't expect that the great writer Zhixian was such a weak chicken, and he didn't dare to ride his face back directly after being refuted by the government.

Such a small question, you have to call yourself who is already busy to the ground to ask, it's really people.

Yuan Zhixian saw that Lin Tailai did not react for a long time, and asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Lin Daguan replied casually: "I feel tired." ”

Yuan Zhixian asked inexplicably: "Why are you tired?" ”

Lin Daguan came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "Ah, I was thinking about our renewal of the second master of the Social League just now, so I feel tired. ”

Yuan Zhixian suddenly agreed and said: "With the character of the second master of the Shen family, I am afraid that all affairs will depend on you, which is really tiring." ”

Lin Tailai responded: "The county is too accurate to look at others!" ”

Then I heard Yuan Zhixian turn in and say: "But when it comes to tiredness, the most tired person at present is still me!"

I have only just taken office, and nearly 200 copies of the case files have been backlogged in my hands in the previous two months, which makes me very annoyed, and the position of the magistrate of Wu Di is too hard.

I heard from a friend who was a magistrate in Guizhou that there may not be a hundred case files for a whole year. ”

Lin Tailai was stunned, you, the county lord, have a backlog of more than 200 cases in your hands, and you still have time to talk to yourself here?

Yuan Zhixian replied: "It doesn't matter! I asked Li Jixuan and the scribe of the torture room to work overtime to go to the preliminary trial! ”

Lin Tailai mourned for Li Jixuan for a few seconds, this is a wandering celebrity nicknamed Li Qinglian.

When this guy defected to the public security faction and followed Yuan Hongdao, Bacheng never thought that he would be arrested as a coolie.

No wonder I didn't see Yuan Zhixian bring more masters, it turned out that Li Jixuan was used as a staff member.

I heard Yuan Zhixian say very yearningly: "As the saying goes, work and rest are combined, I have been dealing with official business for several days, and it is time to relax."

I heard that the smoke and waves of Taihu Lake are vast, the scenery is infinite, and there are seventy-two peaks of scenic spots, there are many places to visit and play.

I also heard that the old sites of Gusutai and Guanwa Palace are all in the area on the east shore of Taihu Lake, and I don't know if I can still find them. ”

Lin Tailai had to remind: "The scenery over Taihu Lake is in Wu County, and the responsibility of the county is to guard Changzhou County."

Without the proper reason and the permission of the higher authorities, it is a clear foul to openly cross the line. ”

Yuan Hongdao waved his hand and immediately came up with a plan: "I heard from you a few days ago that Mudu Port is about to be switched on?"

So send me an invitation and invite me to the ceremony so that I can get to the east shore of Taihu Lake, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Lin Tailai said in embarrassment: "That Mudu Port is on the boundary of Wu County, and the county is the magistrate of Changzhou County. ”

In fact, Lin Daguan didn't want to invite Yuan Zhixian to come over, after all, he also had to meet the various halls of the alliance in Mudu Town.

In case Yuan Zhixian witnesses his own club behavior, it will affect his image as a literary youth.

Yuan Hongdao asked very shrewdly: "Why doesn't it make sense?"

That Mudu Port is not the Mudu Port of a county in Wu County, it is the same as Hushu Pass, targeting the goods entering Suzhou City!

And Suzhou City also has half of my Changzhou County, so Changzhou County and Mudu Port are also related, please invite me, the magistrate of Changzhou County, to watch the ceremony, there is no problem in reason!

Also, you can ask Hushuguan to send me an invitation! Hushu Pass is a customs office directly under the imperial court, and the grade of the tax envoy is also higher than that of the county government.

But if you listen to my arrangement, it will be absolutely foolproof! I'll leave everything to you, and I guess it won't disappoint me. ”

Lin Tailai really couldn't find a reason to object, and was successfully convinced.

In terms of eating, drinking, and having fun, this great writer finally showed his shrewd, capable, reasonable, and logical side.

Lin Daguan could only sigh secretly in his heart, but he was afraid that Yuan Zhixian's talent points were all crooked, and he was not an official at all.

At this time, Yuan Zhixian said again: "Okay, that's all for today's business." ”

Hearing "That's the right thing to talk about", Lin Daguan subconsciously got up and wanted to say goodbye, and the general host's family said that it meant to send off guests.

"Slow down, don't go!" Yuan Zhixian hurriedly stopped Lin Tailai, "Although the business is over, the matter of dredging the Gusanjiangkou project was rejected by the government has not been said yet!" ”

Lin Tailai is very puzzled, is there anything wrong with your Yuan Xianzun's understanding of "business"?

Originally, with today's Ming system, under the premise that the executive power can be in place, theoretically the power of the county in the county is unlimited.

It is really the upper tube of the sky, the lower tube of the ground, and the middle tube of air, as long as the execution can be in place.

That is to say, to carry out water conservancy projects in the county, as long as they can solve the problems of capital and manpower by themselves, they generally only need to report to the county, and they do not need to be approved by the above.

But now the dispatch rights of Jinongcang in all counties of Suzhou Prefecture have been taken away by the government office, and if Changzhou County wants to use the financial resources of Jinongcang to build water conservancy, it has to apply to the government office.

Therefore, it is not so much that Changzhou County applies for the approval of the government for the project, but rather that it applies for the dispatching right of the county's Jinongcang, or the financial autonomy at the same level.

As long as you get back the scheduling right of Jinongcang, it is equivalent to having funds, and you are afraid that the project will not be started?

Yuan Zhixian elaborated: "The government said that for two consecutive years, all counties in the prefecture have produced more and earned less, and the accumulation has decreased significantly.

In order to prevent the clearance from bottoming out completely out of control, the county Jinong warehouses will be returned to the government for unified dispatch to reduce the overall risk.

If there is no major disaster this year, we will mainly accumulate stocks and prepare for famine, and no longer open warehouses to produce grain.

Therefore, our application from Changzhou County was rejected and not approved. ”

Lin Tailai didn't think about it and said: "The county government took back the county's Jinong Cang, that is a matter of course, and it is really unrighteous for the government to forcibly intercept it!" ”

Yuan Zhixian asked, "What can I do about it?" ”

Lin Tailai tried his best to cheer up and said: "Of course, the county respect, you have to ask the government government with righteousness, and you must fight according to reason and tear it to the limit!"

Don't care about the hardships of the government office, if you are considerate of the government office, then who will understand the hardships of your county government?

Don't care about the overall situation of the whole province, all counties must serve the overall situation, you yourself are the overall situation! ”

Yuan Hongdao took out a booklet from his arms, looked at it a few times, and said: "But in this "State and County Essentials", it is said that the official must not be confronted head-on. ”

Lin Tailai: "."

Then Lin Daguan asked very tiredly: "Then in this book, did you tell you how to get Jinongcang back?" ”

Yuan Zhixian replied: "No." ”

Lin Tailai said very sincerely: "Doesn't the county know about it, and it is better to have no book than to believe in it?"

The county is a famous person in the sea, and the government must give the county courtesy, even if the county is in a fight with the government.

Therefore, this kind of book written for ordinary people is not suitable for a famous person like the county honor. ”

In the face of Lin Tailai's powerful flickering, Yuan Hongdao still said with doubts:

"Will a casual conflict with my boss affect my reputation in officialdom? Will you be accused by others of not being a person and an official? ”

Lin Tailai asked again: "Does the county have the idea of enriching one's own pocket through the project?" ”

Yuan Zhixian immediately denied it, saying: "Of course not! ”

Lin Tailai said: "The heart is selfless and the world is wide, so where do the county's doubts come from?

If the county has no desire, it is rigid, and if you collide with the boss, you will ask for the people's life, and you will only be praised for your integrity!

What's more, with the county's reputation in the literary world, wouldn't it be better to win the official reputation than to explore the bag and take things? ”

Yuan Zhixian found that he couldn't say that Lin Tailai would be fooled again, and he was afraid that he would be put on the "altar".

He directly "tried to see the poor dagger" and said: "All in all, about this matter, who cares if you don't worry about it?"

You just say directly, what else can you do without me confronting Fuzun? ”

Lin Tailai: "."

Dare to waste half a day of saliva, and encourage Yuan Zhixian to go to the government to fight for the project, but it was all in vain.

There is still a big difference between Yuan Zhixian and Shen Erye, a little wise and foolish, and he is a master who pretends to be confused.

Yuan Zhixian is very well handled, as long as you Lin Tailai still want to do the project, and you still have to ask for yourself, you have to do your best to find a way, so why bother to bother yourself.

Realizing that he still couldn't get rid of the fate of doing dirty work, Lin Tailai said weakly:

"In this case, in order to put pressure on the government, you can only spread rumors first.

Rumors can be released among the people and the yamen that someone is greedy and has embezzled a large amount of grain stored in the Jinong warehouse!

Therefore, the government will hold the county agricultural warehouses to the death, and dare not let the county government open the warehouse, for fear that the grain will be embezzled! ”

Yuan Zhixian frowned and said: "It's fabricated out of thin air, I'm just afraid that it is not a gentleman's doing." ”

Lin Tailai came to make up for it and said: "Since ancient times, politics has been indispensable for the spread of various proverbs and nursery rhymes, isn't this rumor-mongering?

Besides, this rumor was not released by the county honor, and it has nothing to do with the county honor! ”

Without waiting for Yuan Zhixian to ask, Lin Daguan took the initiative to continue: "After the rumors come out, see the reaction of the government and then decide the next step."

If the government avoids suspicion and delegates power, then everyone will be happy, and if the government is still the head iron, then the people will be mobilized.

For example, find a large number of people who have been affected by disasters or widows and lonely people, and go to the government office to ask for relief.

If there are not enough people, they will artificially create some victims."

Yuan Zhixian raised his hand and stopped Lin Daguan from saying: "I'll wait for the invitation from Hushuguan, and then go to Taihu Lake and Hudong for a few days!" ”

Lin Daguan summed it up in his heart, although he was assigned to do dirty work again, this wave was not a loss.

If the "righteousness" of Yuan Zhixian is used to prompt the government to put the dispatch power of Jinongcang back to the county government, then the project of building a new city gate can also collect wool from Jinongcang, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

And this project can actually change the local prestige, it is generally said that good people and good deeds are "building bridges and paving roads", so what kind of super good people do you have to build a city gate?

Lin Daguan has become Lin Dashan, which is also quite emotional.

Coming out of the county government of Changzhou County, Lin Daguan did not dare to delay time, went out of the city and got on the boat, and went straight to Hushu Pass.

As for why you don't just get on the boat in the city, the old Suzhou people understand.

Due to the congestion of the river in the city, if you board the boat near the county government of Changzhou County in Dongcheng, you are afraid that you will not be able to open the gate for an hour or two.

After arriving at Hushu Pass, Lin Daguan submitted the application documents for the Mudu Port switch and the list of all the officials to the tax envoy Wang's capital.

After Wang Zhidu looked at it carefully, he pointed to the list and said: "I have discussed before, the number of officials in the customs division should be a quarter of the number of the Hushu Customs Office, and the number of people on your list has already exceeded!" ”

Lin Tailai said with a smile: "This is all to strengthen customs affairs and better collect taxes."

In fact, it doesn't matter how many people are more or less, what matters is how much tax money can be paid to the king's bus, and strive to ensure that Hushu Pass becomes the first tax customs in the world during the prince's tenure! ”

Wang Zhidu questioned again: "Also, there are forty people in Hekuai, and more than a dozen of them are from the thirteenth capital and five Tuluziwei.

This is where your home is, right? It's really a person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven! ”

Lin Tailai continued to laugh and said: "The villagers ask for care, but they can't shirk it. Besides, if the river is fast and who is not in charge, it will not affect the customs affairs. ”

Wang Zhidu snorted coldly: "Is it that even a dog in your village has to be pulled to the customs office to guard and eat a piece of imperial food?" ”

Lin Tailai was a little surprised, the simple and sturdy Wang tax envoy in front of him, his speaking style is rarely so sneering with a gun and a stick, what is going on today?

So Lin Tailai said tentatively: "If there is anything wrong with the prince, you might as well say it, and you may be able to help solve one or two things later." ”

Wang Zhidu said bluntly: "Because some people say, I am jealous of your talent!" ”

Lin Tailai immediately pretended to be furious: "Who dares to sow discord like this!" The prince may wish to tell who it is, and go to the theory with him below! ”

Wang Zhidu replied: "It's my little sister who said it in the letter, how do you want to theorize?" ”

Lin Tailai was stunned, why did the little sister of the Wang family say that Wang Zhidu was jealous of herself? Could it be that the king's capital secretly spoke ill of himself behind his back?

This human nature is really scary to think about, and it can't stand scrutiny!

Lin Tailai, who didn't dare to think about it anymore, immediately pretended to be confused, "Ah this, then let me write a letter to Ling Mei and explain it carefully for the prince!" ”

Wang Zhidu patted the case and said: "No way! Don't you think! Don't be in a hurry to go today, help me polish a few poems, and use them during the opening ceremony! ”

Lin Tailai took the opportunity to ask for credit and said: "By the way, in order to promote the status of the prince in the literary world, he has also taken great pains.

Yuan Zhixian, one of the three Yuan factions of the Public Security Faction, has been invited to participate in the opening and closing ceremony of Mudu Port. ”

Wang Zhidu finally nodded with satisfaction, and said reservedly: "I can sing and write poems with Lord Yuan to add luster to the off-end switch." ”
