Within a few days, at the end of January, Suzhou Prefecture inquired about the tour path of the Imperial History of Fanghuan.

Fang Tixue will be in Huai'an Mansion from the end of January to the beginning of February, in Yangzhou Mansion from early to mid-February, and then along the Jiangxi River to the west of Nanzhili, which will be Anhui in the future.

According to this time node, Lin Daguan can no longer be delayed, and must set off immediately.

In this way, it is possible to arrive in Yangzhou in early February and meet with Fang Tixue, and only in Yangzhou.

Because Yangzhou is an important node along the canal, you can continue to go north to Beijing from Yangzhou without detouring at all and without delaying time.

Otherwise, when Fang Tixue left Yangzhou and went to the west of Nanzhili, Lin Daguan would have to take a long detour if he wanted to meet Fang Tixue again.

So Lin Daguan, who had been stable and relaxed for about three months, hurriedly acted again, and immediately left Suzhou to go north.

This time, it is about half a year, not long, not short.

If you really fall for a martial artist and want to become a military attaché, it is even more uncertain.

Of course, in the affairs before leaving, the most important thing is to visit Shen Yongjia, the second master of the Shen Mansion.

Bai Zhuangyuan is the feeling that spans hundreds of years of time and space, can he give up casually?

Shen Erye, who only uses women as fertility tools, doesn't know what feelings are, but he really didn't expect that Lin Tailai is such a long-term person.

To give the most intuitive example, there were 405 Jinshi in Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, while there were only 245 Jinshi in Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty.

Second Master Shen shook off Xu Yuanjing and shouted, "Don't tell me, you go and talk to Lin Tai!" ”

Lin Tailai replied without changing his face: "The second master's words are divided, and it doesn't matter what name he uses externally.

Second Master Shen persuaded again: "You don't have any business management talents under your hands, what's the use of occupying the school office?"

When passing by Hushu Pass, I went ashore to visit the royal tax envoy.

Tidying up the luggage, preparing the boat, comforting the two pregnant women, as well as all kinds of explanations, and farewells, Lin Daguan has not touched the ground in the past three days.

Lin Tailai saluted, "After I leave, the second master, as the leader of the Renewal Society, hopes to take care of the industry to which the Renewal Society belongs." ”

There is also a way to go to the county government to go through the registration procedures for the martial arts examination and receive the examination ticket.

I have all mixed up to this status, if I still need to spend a lot of money for women, won't it be in vain?

Then Lin Tailai said strongly: "Second master, you tell the Xu family, think about how much half of Yi Lao Garden is worth!" This is the price of my Lin Tailai's face!

When I go back to Suzhou City, it may not be this price. Needless to say, I'll say goodbye first! ”

Before the departure of the Wang tax envoy, it should not be a problem for Mudu Port to complete the target of 5,000 taels.

Then cross the river from Jingkou, and continue to the north from Guazhou for dozens of miles, and arrive at Yangzhou City.

As for Xu Yuanjing, he still wants to take back the school office? Go to hell!

Second Master Shen was also very temperamental, and said angrily: "You old Wang Ba dare to coax me? ”

Second Master Shen was a little irritable, and said without hesitation: "What Yangzhou salt merchant, he ran to Suzhou City to redeem himself for the Oiran after eating enough, isn't Yangzhou a special thin horse!" ”

When his ship arrived at the Guangling Water Post outside Nanshui Pass, he planned to stop at the pier here and enter the city through the south gate.

Isn't it just creating gimmicks, holding bouquets of oirans, supporting the head, stabilizing the middle level, regulating prices, and training newcomers? ”

Ordinary passers-by do not enter the city, and rest at the wharves along the river outside the city. Similar to Suzhou City, the river outside the city is also very prosperous, no less than the city.

The main thing is to explain the matter of the division of Mudu Port, and last year it was closed for half a year, and after Lin Daguan personally sat down, the total amount of tax and silver was as high as 3,000 taels.

"The day before yesterday, I really didn't expect that the second master would call the shots today and let me give Bai Ji to Lin Tailai!

Seeing that the new Oiran election is about to begin, if you don't exchange the current Oiran Bai Ji for silver, you will lose all your money.

Second Master Shen felt that he might not be suitable to be a middleman, so he persuaded with a big head:

"You're not short of money now, take a few hundred taels to mean it, I heard that you have prepared thousands of taels of money for fame."

As the champion Zaifu noble son, three generations of scholars, Shen Er Ye should not be so vulgar.

Lin Tailai: "."

At least during the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou was the center of Jiangnan cultural trends and the birthplace of fashion.

If Lin Daguan is not in Suzhou City, Shen Erye will be the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Renewal Society, and no one can replace his role.

Mr. Xu explained: "Yangzhou people also admire our Suzhou scenery the most, and what they want is the name of Suzhou Oiran." ”

As a famous city that is inseparable from the relationship with the canal, the Grand Canal turns east and north from the south water pass of Yangzhou City, and goes around the city.

Although Yangzhou has begun to recover its prosperity in the middle and late Ming Dynasty due to its transportation conditions and salt industry, and it is also a big city with a developed economy, it still cannot be compared with Suzhou.

Lin Tailai reprimanded: "It's not that you haven't entered the Qinlou Chu Pavilion with me in Suzhou, so why don't you have never seen the world!" ”

Second Master Shen persuaded: "The Xu family is also very big, and it is divided into many branches, and Fan Yunlin's garbage and Xu Yuanjing are not one." ”

Not wanting to waste time on this, Second Master Shen quickly cut through the mess and said:

"Xu Yuanjing spent a lot of money on Bai Ji, it is impossible to give it to you for nothing.

Immediately, Shen Yongjia quickly sent someone to report the situation to Lin Tailai.

Second Master Shen subconsciously got up to send him off, thinking about how to persuade the Xu family.

After thinking about it, Lin Daguan said again: "Then let Xu Yuanjing take back the teaching office, but I can't back down in vain!"

The deed of the last Oiran Bai Zhuangyuan seems to be in Xu Yuanjing's hands, let Xu Yuanjing give her to me! ”

Second Master Shen sneered: "Who in Suzhou City is so short-sighted? I don't know if the white champion is what Lin Tai came to see? ”

After all, the relationship between the Xu family and the Shen family is similar to that of relatives, and Fan Yunlin's father-in-law, Xu Taishi, is an official in the court, and has a very close relationship with the first assistant Shen Shixing.

But Xu Yuanjing beat his chest and replied with remorse:

As the son of the prime minister, you can't usually be too public, the engineering team has your dark stocks, and the dividends are enough with your silver.

So it's better to let Manager Xu use it as a favor to calm Lin Tailai's anger for the Xu family.

provoked Xu Yuanjing, the head of the school office, to go to the government to complain, but was pulled out by Shen Erye's big mouth.

Second Master Shen asked inexplicably, "What's the matter?" ”

Customize a few sets of white clothes and white skirts, let the white champion wear them, and think about it.

After the visit, Lin Daguan also did another good thing, and took the initiative to help the Wang tax envoy bring the family letter to Beijing.

The real peak of Yangzhou City was the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and many of the humanistic imprints that were passed down to later generations were actually mostly left by the Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was not so strong.

For the capital of kings, this is a visible political achievement.

Then Lin Tailai asked Zhang Youyu quietly: "Teacher, are you interested in replacing Wang Zhideng as the first scholar in Suzhou City?" ”

Lin Tai said: "Anyway, it's all from the Xu family, I'm an outsider who is too lazy to score so clearly!" ”

Manager Xu knelt on the ground, hugged Second Master Shen's thigh and said:

"The second master said it's late! The day before yesterday, someone ransomed Bai Ji and offered 1,000 taels, and I agreed! ”

Lin Tailai directly ignored Zhang Youyu's nonsense and said to himself:

It's just that Lin Daguan is about to leave, and he has no time to clean him up directly.

Second Master Shen was stunned, you Lin Tailai actually know a little bit about this Fengyue industry!

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Yangzhou salt merchants of the Ming Dynasty went to Suzhou, the birthplace of fashion, to buy an oiran for the sake of vanity.

In the end, Lin Daguan reasoned with the facts, "Besides, I am a Xie Yuan sitting hall and the number one hero in Suzhou, and I don't even have a person in my own house, wouldn't the price drop?" ”

As for how much silver you have lost on Bai Zhuangyuan, let each branch of your Xu family make up for it! ”

After that, when passing through Wuxi, Lin Daguan did not stay too long, and still hurried away, after all, his time was really tight.

"I'll make a decision for you, you send Bai Zhuangyuan to Lin Tailai, which can be regarded as making amends for your entire Xu family on behalf of you!

Xu Yuanjing knew that he was really not far from death, and desperately explained:

Lin Tailai seemed to be at a loss and said: "What is half a year, even if it is another four hundred years, I will still remember it." ”

So when he saw the Yangzhou salt merchant bidding for 1,000 taels, he agreed to it. ”

When he received the news, Lin Tailai was bidding farewell to his titular business teacher, Zhang Youyu.

Second Master Shen kicked Xu Yuanjing away and reprimanded: "You just have a fluke, you just want to calculate the small account and return the cost, and you think that everything will be fine if you sell people!"

But you haven't thought about it, everyone in Suzhou knows that Lin Tailai is obsessed with Bai Zhuangyuan, but you sold Bai Zhuangyuan to outsiders, so where will Lin Tailai put his face?

You get out now, I can't control you! ”

If you usually use the name of the second master to the outside world, it will damage the reputation of the Shen family, and Shen Xiang has many political enemies in the DPRK and China, so try not to give others a handle. ”

Only those rich landowners who have no power or power will do such things.

Lin Tailai said disdainfully: "What is it difficult to run in a school office?

"Very good, the property of the school book office will be handed over to you, and in the future, the teacher will be the head of the school book office, and I believe that the teacher will be competent."

In the original anti-Lin alliance, Xi, Lu, Shen and other families were severely punished, and only Fan Yunlin, the son-in-law of the Xu family, was taken lightly.

Second Master Shen waved his hand: "I can't say anything left and right!" But there's one thing you have to give a step ahead!

Don't always occupy the school office, give it back to Xu Yuanjing! ”

Xu Yuanjing hurriedly swore an oath: "It is true that there is such a thing, it is definitely not deliberate to deceive, otherwise there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!" ”

Second Master Shen was a little speechless, "You deliberately made an excuse to occupy the school office, and the real purpose was for this?"

I have long known that you are thinking about the white oiran in your heart, but I didn't expect that more than half a year has passed, and you are still coveting it! ”

And Lin Tailai, a person who comes to do things, must be going to the city.

"Whatever!" Lin Daguan said indifferently, and hurriedly added: "Don't touch Sun Pity!" ”

Because of Lin Tailai's relationship, others are afraid of provoking Lin Tailai, so Bai Zhuangyuan has always been in a state of "can't be sold" with a price and no market, and he is about to be smashed in the hands of Manager Xu.

The Zhang brothers were a little excited and said: "I heard that the area in the south gate of Yangzhou City is also a place with many winds and moons in the world. ”

was poked by Shen Erye like this, and Lin Daguan suddenly felt that the industry of the school office was indeed not suitable for him.

After coming to the Shen Mansion, Lin Daguan explained the situation, and Shen Erye said in surprise: "You are going to leave in three days?" Don't want to be in such a hurry. ”

But for Lin Tailai, he can only defeat magic with magic in this way.

How much do you offer, I will help you persuade Xu Yuanjing to redeem Bai Ji. ”

After sending Lin Tailai away, Second Master Shen called Xu Yuanjing from the school office over and instructed:

In addition, the increase in revenue of another Likou Port branch is enough to make the annual tax of Hushu Pass exceed 30,000 and 40,000 yuan, surpassing Hangzhou Beixinguan and Tongzhou Hexiwu, becoming the world's first tax customs.

Lin Daguan had already said goodbye, but he didn't move his steps, turned back to Shen Erye and asked, "Have you forgotten one thing?" ”

Yangzhou has been working hard to learn from Suzhou, and it is very similar.

The main reason is that Lin Tailai feels that it is too unjust to spend a lot of money for women.

Second Master Shen: "."

Now that Zheng Yanshang has taken Bai Ji and left Suzhou. ”

Zhang Youyu's old eyes lit up suddenly, rubbed his hands and said, "Can you guard and steal by yourself?" ”

In the end, Second Master Shen sighed helplessly, and asked straight to the heart:

"Lin Zaikan, you don't want to be called a cuckold king, right?"

For my sake, if you let one step go, why waste time. ”

Lin Tailai said angrily: "If you want me to pay, is it the Xu family to make amends for me?" ”

Lin Daguan said without concessions: "I, Lin Tailai, uphold good thoughts, never do human trafficking, want me to pay to buy people, impossible!" ”

Lin Tailai said as a matter of course: "Should you write a letter to Ling Zun, and then ask me to take it to Jingshi and send it to Ling Zun?" ”

Another day, Lin Tailai set off on a large ship with six entourages, including the Zhang brothers, two thousand taels of silver.

For example, vigorously develop calligraphy and painting, such as liking to build gardens and scenic spots, such as taking the clothing and lifestyle from Suzhou as fashionable, calling it "Su style".

In the general concept of later generations, it seems that Yangzhou and Suzhou are the fashion twin stars of the ancient Jiangnan region, but in fact, they are not exactly at some stages.

Sending a woman can calm Lin Tailai's resentment, but it's actually not expensive, even if this woman is built with a lot of money.

Lin Tailai said dissatisfiedly: "The Huqiu Xu family committed a crime against me first, and they didn't have the sincerity to make amends!" ”

"It was a big salt merchant in Yangzhou named Zheng Zhiyan, who came to Suzhou City to take away the champion Oiran, which is said to be a gift to the upcoming salt official!

I didn't think much about it at the time, and I agreed in business.

Not to mention that it is used as a gift for the incoming salt official, Suzhou Oiran and specialty thin horses are definitely more lined up in the former.

Second Master Shen said sensitively, "What? When I can be used, this alliance leader is no longer the honorary alliance leader, but the actual alliance leader?

When I need to take care of it, the industry is no longer the Lin community industry, but the renewal society industry? ”

In order to take revenge on the Xu family, Lin Tailai occupied the school office controlled by the Xu family and expelled all the stewards.

Zhang Youyu immediately responded: "I was originally the number one scholar in Suzhou City, have you always thought that Wang Zhideng was the first?" What a rebel! ”

I didn't take this public office to heart, so I didn't care how Zhang Youyu tossed.

Zhang Wen replied philosophically: "House flowers are always not as fragrant as wild flowers. ”

Lin Tailai said unmoved: "There is still business, act separately, I will go to the school to inquire about the college examination first."

Zhang Wen: You can inquire about the situation of the Zheng family, a salt merchant, at the wharf and in the shop. ”

I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day! Greetings to all of you who celebrate the holidays!
