Lin Daguan's fleet continued to travel south along the canal, and arrived at Hushu Pass in the evening.

According to the plan, I will spend the night in Hushuguan that night, and then arrive in Suzhou City tomorrow, which is usually the same itinerary.

Hushu Tariff made the capital of the king Shufeng, and he rarely went to the shore to welcome guests, but today he stood on the dock.

After the ship docked, Lin Daguan couldn't wait to get out of the cabin, and before he got off the boat, he greeted the royal tax envoy warmly and said, "My good brother! I haven't seen you for months, and I miss it so much! ”

Wang Zhidu's face, which was already expressionless, was a little darker at this time. At the beginning, the person surnamed Lin was a "prince" to himself, and today he directly called his brother.

After Lin Daguan got off the boat, he glanced at the face of the king's capital, and said suspiciously: "Brother Shufeng, don't you like to laugh?" ”

Then he said to the left and right: "You see, everyone in the world is good at being an official, but who knows the hardships?"

Practical officials like us, if they don't adjust their mentality, they will become numb and depressed. ”

Wang Zhidu sighed, stretched out his hand and asked, "Enter the narrative." ”

After entering the living room of the customs office, after closing the door, only his family was left, and Lin Daguan said:

"Brother Shufeng, what's wrong? As the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, I will be your brother-in-law in the future, and we will be a family that loves each other, so don't be prejudiced against me. ”

Wang Shui said angrily: "Brother, they have never been to Jiangnan, and they don't know how chaotic your private life is, let alone how dissolute you are, so they are deceived and are willing to marry your little sister to you!" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "Who said they didn't know? I was in Beijing, and I went to the Goulan Hutong of the West Courtyard of Pingjiaofang, and I had a hot fight with the famous lady Jade Peony in Beijing.

These things are not hidden from anyone, your royal family knows, how can you be deceived? ”

The capital of the king: "."

This is the sorrow of being in a political family! knew that Lin Tailai's private life was completely inconsistent with the Wang family's family style, but he still had to marry his daughter.

Lin Daguan said again: "Is your term of office as a Hushu tariff envoy about to expire?" ”

In order to prevent corruption of tax officials, there are few long-term positions in the imperial court.

Under normal circumstances, the term of office of the tax ambassador is one to two years, and Wang Zhidu has been in office for a year and a half, and it is time to replace him according to the rules.

Wang Zhidu had just recovered from the grief of the little sister's inhuman entrustment, and replied:

"That's true, I have already told my brother that I want to be transferred to Henan or Beizhili, and I will release a fellow acquaintance.

In this way, it is relatively close to my hometown in Shandong, so I can take my wife and children to my side, so good."

"No, no!" Lin Daguan interrupted Wang Zhidu's imagination of a happy life in the future: "I have already greeted Da Situ and decided to send you to Yangzhou to assist me in dominating Jiangbei." ”

The capital of the king: "."

This is the sorrow of being in a political family! You can't even make your own decisions about your own future!

Why did Lin Tai come and go to Jingshi, and he was able to transform from his little brother to his own big man!

At the reception banquet, the royal tax envoy drank too much, left the guests and went to sleep first.

There was no word for a night, and the next day, Lin Daguan continued to board the ship, and today he was about to arrive at the final destination of Suzhou City.

Ten miles west of Suzhou City, Fengqiao is not only a famous spot, but also one of the largest rice markets in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the node where Suzhou City ushers in.

When the river reaches Fengqiao Town, it is divided into two waterways, one flows to Suzhou City, and the other continues to the south, forming a water tripartite near Fengqiao.

Today, all the shores of this water fork are crowded with people, and it is not all "organization", many people spontaneously come to see the excitement after hearing the news.

If you don't count other counties, only say that there are two counties in Suzhou City, and there have been three champions in this dynasty, and the most recent one is when the head of the dynasty is Shen Shixing.

However, after winning the championship, all the champions of liberal arts were directly awarded to the Hanlin Academy, and generally did not return to their hometowns.

Like Lin Daguan, the situation of swaggering back to his hometown directly as a new champion is really unique and rare.

Although Suzhou people attach great importance to culture and education, and do not attach much importance to martial arts, after all, Lin Daguan is the first martial champion in the history of Suzhou City, and the first officially certified martial champion in this dynasty.

Lin Daguan put on the bronze helmet and armor given by the emperor, stood majestically at the bow of the boat, and waved to the crowd on both sides of the river.

The non-Xinwu Association members who were hiding in the crowd couldn't help but gasp when they saw this.

In the past, Lin Daguan could only secretly put cowhide in his robe, but now he can legally wear armor, who can still be moved?

On the boat, Gao Changjiang reminded in the back: "The military attaches of Suzhou Wei are waiting on the shore in front of you. ”

Lin Daguan glanced at the shore in front of him, and asked casually: "Is Li Tianyou, the commander in charge of the guard, here?" ”

Gao Changjiang was speechless, sitting in the hall, you will support the five-grade official and the fourth-grade poor official, and Li Tianyou is the chief official of the third grade of the entire Suzhou Wei, and he is also the boss, how can there be a reason for the boss to greet the subordinates?

Previously, after Lin Tailai decided to serve as the Suzhou Guard, Gao Changjiang dealt with the Suzhou Guard Military Attache and met the commander Li Tianyou.

At this time, after Gao Changjiang looked at the shore, he reported: "Commander Li is really here." ”

Lin Daguan nodded, and said approvingly: "It seems that he is still an acquaintance, if he doesn't appear today, then he will never appear in the future." ”

Gao Changjiang: "."

I originally knew that the person sitting in the hall was very domineering, and I didn't see it for a few months, so I knew that sitting in the hall could be even more domineering.

When Lin Tailai disembarked, although the commander Li Tianyou did not take a few steps forward to greet him, he stood very close to the shore and did not let Lin Tailai go more.

"The first champion of the Ming Dynasty returned to his hometown, and I am very inspired!" Commander Li, who was in the prime of life, gave a welcome speech.

Then he asked: "I don't know how Lin Zhuangyuan arranged, go to the Health Department to take office first?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "I want to go back to the village to worship my parents and pay tribute to my ancestors. ”

Commander Li naturally had nothing to do, "If Lin Zhuangyuan wants to go home, it is inconvenient for outsiders to disturb me." Then I will wait for Lin Zhuangyuan in the Health Department, and then I will give Lin Zhuangyuan the wind. ”

In fact, when he returned to Suzhou this time, Lin Daguan couldn't wait to turn into eight clones, because there were too many things to do.

In addition to going to Suzhou Wei to take office, there is also the matter of entering the school in Xiucai, I heard that I was assigned to the school, and I always have to go to the school to transfer.

In addition, it is necessary to inspect various industries, as well as go to the government and county government to guide the work, and to start construction of mansions.

All of the above is a business affair, and there are all kinds of personal contacts from men to women that need to be maintained.

All kinds of things are superimposed, Lin Daguan's head is big when he thinks about it, and it may not be enough to turn into eight clones, and going back to the village to worship his parents and ancestors may already be the purest thing.

Before Lin Tailai returned to the ship, he said to Commander Li: "Actually, there are a few more things, please listen to them first."

The first thing is that the imperial court has ordered me to supervise the transportation of this guard, and the affairs are complicated, so I want to open a separate office in addition to the health department. ”

After Lin Daguan finished saying this idea, the faces of several commanders and officials around him changed a little.

What kind of person is this, before he enters the door, he has to set up another government office and fly solo, what does this make other old people think?

Lin Daguan didn't care about the others, and looked at the commander Li Tianyou.

After Commander Li pondered for a moment, he spoke: "Suzhou Wei currently has more than 6,000 personnel in the regular army, including 4,000 troops in charge of garrisoning and more than 2,000 troops in charge of transportation.

According to the instructions of the imperial court, the affairs of transporting troops and transporting the affairs were under the responsibility of Lin Yanshi, and the scheduling in this regard was frequent, and the accounts and documents were numerous, so it should indeed be opened separately. ”

Several other conductors were surprised, Boss Li, you, the commander of the Zhengyin, knelt too fast in the face of the newcomer, and did you have the dignity of the palm seal officer?

Lin Daguan smiled "haha", hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Chief Li for your understanding, I will not teach Chief Li to be embarrassed in the future!" ”

Commander Li breathed a sigh of relief, it would be great if Lin Tailai could be satisfied with just a branch office.

These reckless colleagues around may not have seen that Lin Tailai made an "excessive" request just after they met, which was actually a kind of temptation!

As long as he Li Tianyu's performance is unsatisfactory, then life will be very difficult in the future!

Because the current governor of Jiangnan, Zhao Zhigao, was personally brought by Lin Tailai!

With the authority of the governor of Jiangnan, if you want to clean up a Suzhou guard, it can be said that there is no difficulty at all, and it is easier than a father beating his son.

Others laugh at him for kneeling fast, and he laughs at others for not being able to see through it!

In the end, he changed back to the sentence "I will not teach Chief Li to be embarrassed in the future", indicating that I passed the test today.

When Commander Li began to relax his mentality, Lin Tailai said: "The second thing, from now on, Yangzhou Shuicicang will be garrisoned by our Suzhou Guard.

For the specific method of how to transfer troops and change guards, I would like to ask Chief Li to think of a charter in the next few days.

In addition, the warehouse officials of the water warehouse are also sent by Suzhou, and among the children of our Suzhou Weijun households, if there are people who have read books, they can directly sign as warehouse officials. ”

Commander Li's face was overjoyed, and he said continuously: "Very good, very good!" I don't want Lin to be like a kind parent, and it has brought a way out for the remaining children of this guard! ”

The faces of a few fellow acquaintances and servants next to him changed again, this Lin Tailai can even arrange the affairs of Jiangbei, and directly transfer troops across regions, which is really a bit exaggerated.

If you smuggle between Yangzhou and Suzhou, wouldn't it be a little extra money?

Immediately, a conductor surnamed Zhang spoke: "Lin Zhuangyuan returned to his hometown in fine clothes, how could there be no one to accompany the salute." We can send Lin Zhuangyuan back to the township together to strengthen the momentum. ”

Commander Li pondered for a moment and then said: "Then let's go, this is our first martial champion in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a happy event for the entire Suzhou Guard, and we can not fail to express it." ”

In the face of other people's kindness, Lin Tailai has no need to refuse.

So the Suzhou Wei high-level almost collectively dispatched, on the boat, to Suzhou Wu County thirteen five Tulu Ziwei, of course, the people are commonly known as Lin Song Village, Hengtang Town, west of the city.

Although the whole village also made preparations in advance, at this time, Lin Zhuangyuan and his party arrived, and the chickens and dogs jumped up.

One hundred and ten villagers enthusiastically watched, and many villagers still didn't understand, how did Da Sixi become Lin Zhuangyuan?

I haven't heard of any visions such as red light filling the room, falling stars, and surrounded by birds when Lin Asi was born.

Fortunately, with the aura of the world's first martial champion, when Lin Daguan appeared at the entrance of the village with armor this time, no villagers shouted anything about Sixi or Ah Si.

Of course, it is unlikely that ordinary people will wear a full suit of armor as a regular uniform, and their physical strength will not be able to keep up. But for Lin Daguan, a suit of armor didn't seem to be so heavy, so he wore it and went home.

It's just that one of the villagers shouted: "Champion! Your dad is farming in the fields! ”

Lin Tailai said a little annoyed: "What day is today, how can you still go farming?" ”

The villager said: "It is said that I listened to the words of Mr. Sociology in the village, saying that it is to show favor and not be surprised, which is the superior demeanor." ”

After passing the Shenming Pavilion at the entrance of the village, he came to the old house of the Lin family, and when the Lin officials raised their eyes, their faces twitched a few times.

It's not that the old house has changed, but it hasn't changed at all, it's still those few yellow mud wall houses.

Lin Zhuangyuan turned his head to his eldest brother Lin Shilai and said angrily: "Didn't you say that you would renovate the house, why didn't you move at all?"

I can't take care of it after I've been away from home for a long time, and you, the eldest son, don't care! ”

Brother Lin said helplessly: "Our father won't let me move!" It is said that Mr. Sociology said that if you don't change your thrift after your career, it is valuable, and it is also for your children and grandchildren to accumulate virtue. ”

Lin Tailai was speechless, and he pretended to be frugal and forced to consider the actual situation! The emperor's dragon robe is patched, who will treat it as a beautiful talk?

I eat and drink spicy food outside, but my parents live in this kind of house in my hometown, what will others think?

Especially today, there are many people who come to watch the ceremony, what will they think when they see this?

Commander Li and Zhang Tongzhi looked at the Lin family's old mansion and held back for a while before they discussed:

"Lin Gongzhen is a person of noble character, and he doesn't want such an elegant hermit in the countryside here!"

Or hurry up and make up for it, Lin Tailai thought for a while, and said to the left and right: "Regarding the realm of my father, I have always been stupid and ignorant.

Today, I will return to my hometown after becoming famous, and I will really have some understanding, and I will occasionally get something, and I will share it with the world! ”

Immediately, Lin Daguan, who was wearing a helmet and armor, recited: "If you don't admire the immortals, you don't sit in meditation, and you will be in the smoke of your life experience." After his death, he wrote about it, but he regretted his surname before his death."

When he arrived here, Lin Daguan raised his hand and pointed to the old mansion, and continued to recite the following two sentences: "How can you be clumsy and build a large building, why should you envy your life for many years." ”

In the end, Lin Daguan pointed to the field behind the house and chanted the last two sentences: "Rigid and straightforward, this is my family's old farming." ”

"Good!" The people around him didn't care if they could understand it or not, so they started applauding first.

I just feel that this style of painting is not quite right, and it would be more appropriate if the person who resides in armor and changes into a long shirt.

Could it be that Lin Daguan's hobby is to beat people in long shirts, chant poems in armor, and focus on a rebellion?

Lin Daguan instructed Gao Changjiang: "Copy a copy of my poem, send it to Fuxue, and announce the return of my Lin Tailai." ”

Gao Changjiang shook his head, writing "How can clumsy people build a vast mansion", and on the other hand, he wants to build a mansion by building a large number of buildings, grabbing gardens, and becoming more and more like a scholar.
