In the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fourteenth year of Wanli, in addition to Suzhou and Yangzhou, some people exalted Lin Tailai's Mid-Autumn Festival words, and there were similar scenes in Beijing and Nanjing, but they were not as influential as those caused by Suzhou and Yangzhou.

After all, the water in the north and south of Beijing is too deep, and the political attribute is greater than the cultural attribute, so it is not easy to use literature to make waves.

Even if Wang Situ stuffed a copy of "Lin Tailai's Mid-Autumn Lyrics" when he saw people in Beijing, how could it compare to the impact of the Wen's genre split on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on the Suzhou literary and artistic circle?

It is said that on the same night, Wang Zhideng, Wen Zhengming's closed disciple, and Zhang Fengyi, Wen Zhengming's friend in his later years, two fifty or sixty-year-old men, had a big quarrel.

Later, those who mainly studied poetry and scholarship supported Wang Zhideng, and those who mainly focused on calligraphy and painting supported Zhang Fengyi, and the Wen literary and artistic school split into two camps on the spot.

Wen Zhengming's grandson Wen Yuanfa persuaded both sides for a long time, but he still couldn't persuade him, and in the end, this Mid-Autumn Festival night party of the Wen school could only be broken up.

Wen Zhenmeng, a thirteen-year-old teenager, followed his father Wen Yuanfa to attend this party, and witnessed the whole process of splitting, and his young heart was greatly impacted.

After returning home, Wen Zhenmeng asked his father: "After watching the quarrels of the old-timers, my son can't help but be a little confused.

Which side is right? Also, what does Lin Tailai want to do? Wang Zhideng, as the leader of the Gusu literary circle, is it right to reject Lin Tailai? ”

Wen Yuanfa said angrily: "They are arguing with them, what are you confused about?" The Son of Heaven is heroic, and the article teaches Ercao; Everything is inferior, only reading is high!

Don't forget the shame of the three generations of the Wen family who failed the imperial examination fifty times since your great-grandfather! Father, I'm old, and the burden of shame is on your shoulders!

You don't need to be confused at all, you just need to bury your head in reading and writing! Don't care what Lin Tailai wants to do, and don't care if Wang Zhideng rejects Lin Tailai or not! ”

Wen Zhenmeng is calculated according to his age, and now he has reached the so-called middle two period in later generations, and he can't help but say:

"I heard that our Suzhou taxis are talking about Lin Tailai, who is the most influential person today. The attitude towards Lin Tailai directly determines a person's position in the literary world. ”

Wen Yuanfa reprimanded: "Look at Feng Menglong, the son of Dr. Feng, who is the same age as you, has already entered school this year!"

You have to seize all the time, keep your ears out of the window, and read only the books of the sages!

Although Lin Tailai is a man of the hour, he has nothing to do with you, and he can't make you learn better! ”

Wen Zhenmeng said weakly: "But it is said that Feng Menglong, a talented talent, was also helped by Lin Tailai. ”

Wen Yuanfa: "."

What kind of garbage is this, when my grandfather Wen Zhengming fought for the imperial examination, the examination procedure was strict, and although my grandfather's connections were very strong, they didn't play much use.

Now that the human factor in the imperial examination has become bigger, my grandfather is long gone, and he is old!

After all, there are still a few people who are more unhappy about the festival, and most of them are relatively peaceful, even if there are many problems in life, they will not have a seizure on the festival.

Zheng Zhiyan, the leader of the Yangzhou Hui merchant and salt industry, also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was going to send it when he was sent out of the Shuicicang cage before.

Later, he returned home safe and sound, as if in a dream. Later, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, nothing happened.

couldn't help but give Zheng Yuanwai the illusion of going back in time, and seemed to have returned to the time when there was no Lin Tailai in his life.

It wasn't until the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival that Zheng's family was blocked by more than 20 Western businessmen and their families, and Zheng Yuanwai realized that the nightmare was not over and was still continuing.

In the original historical time and space, it was not until the change of dynasties that the Western merchant power in Yangzhou City completely declined, and then the Hui merchants dominated Yangzhou City.

But in today's Yangzhou City, although the Hui merchants have the upper hand, the Western merchants are still very powerful.

So when he heard that the door was blocked by Western businessmen, Zheng Yuanwai could only invite in and speak first.

The leader is Sun Wenyi, the son of the head of the Shanxi Guild Hall, Sun Wenyi, and as for the head of Sun himself, he has not come out of the water warehouse.

"Congratulations to Zheng Chao for a reunion festival." Sun Wenyi said sarcastically: "This makes our Sun family very envious. ”

In today's Yangzhou City, Hui merchants and Western merchants are in an all-round competitive relationship in the profiteering industries such as salt industry and pawn industry.

Therefore, Zheng Zhiyan, the leader of the Hui merchants, was not polite to Sun Wenyi, the son of the leader of the Western merchants, "Ling Zun didn't go home, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Sun Wenyi sneered and said: "I just don't understand, you were also arrested, why can your surname Zheng go home for the holiday, while others, including my father, are still in prison?" ”

Zheng Zhiyan didn't want to say this, because it wasn't clear at all.

So he said Tai Chi, "I don't understand what you mean, if there's nothing serious, please go back." ”

But Sun Wenyi was willing to leave easily, and asked aggressively:

"Then I'll make it clearer, why are all five of us Western businessmen detained, but you, Zheng Zhiyan, were able to get out in time?

Now it is rumored in the city that you, Zheng Zhiyan, betrayed Western merchants in exchange for freedom! Can you give me a reasonable explanation? ”

In the face of this suspicion, Zheng Zhiyan was still calm on the surface, and deliberately said in a disdainful tone: "When did your Sun family use gossip as a guide? ”

Sun Wenyi reluctantly said: "But on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the victory site Pingshan Hall that you rebuilt with a lot of money was used to tout Lin Tailai's poems, this is always true, right?"

You said that you didn't collude with Lin Tailai, but others didn't believe it. ”

Zheng Zhiyan angrily rebuked: "What nonsense! Lin Tailai is the enemy of all merchants, what benefits can I gain by colluding with him? ”

Sun Wenyi scoffed and said, "Don't pretend to be pure!" Everyone knows that you have 7,000 salt leads that have been occupied by Lin Tailai, if Lin Tailai is willing to return it to you, what else can you not do? ”

Bang! Zheng Zhiyan suddenly became furious and smashed the teacup to pieces!

This kind of emotional out-of-control situation surprised even Sun Wenyi on the other side. In general, business leaders are very self-controlled, and such gaffes are rare.

After coming back to his senses, Sun Wenyi no longer sneered, and proposed very shamefully:

"This time, our Western businessmen have admitted it, and we ask Zheng Chaofeng to make a price, how can we release people?"

"You go to Shuijicang and ask Lin Tailai! Don't ask me! Zheng Zhiyan broke the defense again for some reason, and roared angrily.

He could finally determine why Lin Tailai let him go home before the Mid-Autumn Festival, not just splashing dirty water.

Now Sun Wenyi is also angry, you Zheng Zhiyan is indeed high-minded and despicable enough, but you can't kill people too much, so it's too much to refuse to negotiate!

So he said: "Although our two families belong to different business gangs, they are both the last of the four people, and they can be regarded as people in the same way.

Not to mention that harmony and wealth should also pay attention to a harmony with light and dust, Zheng Chaofeng really wants to be so ruthless?

Do you want to start an all-out war with our Western merchants and fight a life-and-death battle? ”

The main reason is that the competition between the two major merchant gangs of Western Merchants and Huizhou Merchants is too fierce, and there is no trust at all, and it is easy to think of the other party in a bad way when encountering things, and it is better to believe it than not to believe it.

Yu Zheng Zhiyan is also very angry, even if he is bullied by Lin Tailai, you want to bully people even if you are an old west?

Is his dignified Hui merchant leader muddy paper? Anyone wants to step on a few feet?

"If you want to fight, you will fight!" Zheng Zhiyan shouted: "Am I afraid of you?" ”

Anyway, after so many years of business wars with Western businessmen, it has also reached a white-hot level in recent years, and now it is good to settle the grudges!

Sun Wenyi stood up and said, "Zheng Zhiyan, you remember!" There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust! If you don't preach morality like this, even the Hui people may not be willing to help you! ”

When Xishang and Zheng Zhiyan fell into a-for-tat confrontation, the six courtiers who were imprisoned in Suijicang could do nothing but sigh and sigh.

In the past few days before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Tailai did not meet them at all, and he did not even have a chance to talk and probe them.

They have developed a fear of an unknown future and have absolutely no idea what awaits them of the outcome.

Among them, in addition to fear, Wang Yuan was a little more confused than the other five Western Shang courtiers.

As a businessman with a keen sense of smell, he knows very well that since the last time Lin Daguan came to Yangzhou, he has the intention of snatching and recruiting their Wang family.

This time, Lin Tailai also imprisoned himself, probably with the intention of deliberately tossing himself and forcing himself to comply.

For these doorways, Wang Yuanwai understands them. But what he doesn't understand is that he has already expressed his intention to cooperate with Toucheng a few days ago, why did Lin Daguan still ignore it?

What he had already said was so obvious, Lin Daguan pretended not to hear it, and he didn't talk to him again, what kind of trouble did he want?

What did you do wrong and didn't even give you a chance to surrender?

When the five Western Shang Dynasty Fengjia and a Wang Yuan were all nervous, the door of the West Corridor was opened again.

The tall and majestic figure that everyone was already familiar with appeared in the doorway, as if it were a judge of life and death.

No one dared to speak, and they were all quietly waiting for the "final judgment".

"I'm sorry to know you in this way, and to treat you like this." Lin Daguan nodded and said politely.

Everyone was stunned, is this person really Lin Daguan?

In everyone's minds, the image of Lin Daguan is arrogant and rude, how can he speak politely to the prisoners?

Thinking of this, a few courtiers with rich experience realized something, and their faces instantly turned pale!

A man is about to die, and his words are good! Even before killing others, if you have a weak heart, the murderer's attitude will be better!

Lin Daguan continued: "You also know that Governor Yang and I are already mortal enemies, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all.

The Western businessmen who settled in Yangzhou were all fellow villagers of Governor Yang, and they had been deeply cultivated in Yangzhou City for 100 years, which would definitely be the greatest help for Governor Yang.

And the five of you are the leaders of the Western merchants, so I can only say I'm sorry."

"No!" The head manager of the Shanxi Guild Hall, Mr. Sun, exclaimed: "Our families have been settled in Yangzhou for at least decades, and most of our business is in the south, so we are not familiar with Governor Yang!" ”

"Nope! No! No! There is also someone who shouts louder than Mr. Sun, that is, Wang Yuanwai: "I am not a Westerner, I am a Hui!" Can't mess me up with it! ”

Lin Daguan still replied very politely: "But when Governor Yang summoned the businessmen to conspire that day, you were also present outside Wang Yuan.

I don't have time to carefully distinguish it, so I can only deal with it together with Xishang, so I'm sorry as well. ”

But Wang Yuanwai would rather see the arrogant face of Lin Daguan at this time, than see Lin Daguan so polite to himself!

Wang Yuanwai defended: "It is absolutely impossible for me to help Governor Yang!" I'm willing to swear by it! ”

Lin Daguan stared at Wang Yuanwai tightly and said, "What about how many of them?" ”

This question was so inexplicable that Wang Yuanwai was really confused.

The other few people are all Western businessmen, what does it matter to him Wang Qing, a Hui person?

Lin Daguan said leisurely: "You are all merchants who have settled in Yangzhou, and you are doing similar things, is it just because of the view of the region, there is no sense of the same way?" ”

Wang Yuanwai looked confused and didn't know how to reply.

I heard Lin Daguan say: "In my mind, Wang Yuanwai is a heroic figure who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and sacrifices himself to save others." ”

Wang Yuanwai: "??? ”

The person you Lin Tailai is talking about, are you sure it's him Wang Qing?

But when Lin Daguan said this, he stopped making a sound and looked at Wang Qing expressionlessly.

The opportunity has been given, if Wang Yuanwai still can't understand his spirit, then he can be ruthlessly abandoned!

Although he Lin Tailai doesn't need people who are too smart, but people who are really not smart also have no use value!

Noticing that Lin Daguan's gaze was gradually cold, Wang Yuanwai finally realized that if he didn't do something, he would probably lose Lin Tailai forever!

So what does Lin Daguan want to do for himself?

Recalling what happened to him, and recalling Lin Tailai's attitude towards himself, Wang Yuanwai finally realized the truth!

There was no time to dwell on it, Wang Yuanwai shouted with all his strength: "I am willing to make my only daughter and Lin Zhuangyuan a long-distance wife!" It's the flat wife invented by our Hui people! ”

Of course, Lin Daguan's intention was not only this, Wang Yuanwai continued to shout: "I am also willing to cooperate with Lin Zhuangyuan in the salt industry!" ”

The other Western businessmen listened to Wang Yuanwai and Lin Daguan discuss the conditions, and they were basically like ashes.

Lin Daguan was at least willing to negotiate conditions with Wang Yuan, and they didn't even have a chance to negotiate conditions.

However, the heavy price paid by Wang Yuanwai, to be honest, it is better to be killed by Lin Tailai! I don't know what Wang Yuan's picture is.

Of course, if it's just such a thing, it would be too much to underestimate Lin Daguan's routine.

So Wang Yuanwai shouted out the most important sentence: "But I also have a quid pro quo, please Lin Zhuangyuan release all the imprisoned colleagues!" ”

The other five Western Shang courtiers were immediately stunned, what kind of timely rain is this? Is there really a moral presence in this world?

Wang Yuanwai played extraordinarily, and said compassionately: "Even if they are all Western businessmen, after all, they are related to the jobs of hundreds of relatives and thousands of hired workers!"

I am willing to give my daughter and my inheritance, and I just ask Lin Zhuangyuan to spare them and give them a way to live! ”

When he said this, Wang Yuanwai exuded a moral light!

Lin Daguan seemed to be shocked, and after being stunned for a while, he said:

"If you want to be a good person, others may not appreciate it, and they may not miss your goodness."

It's two places away from last month's ticket list.,It's really...
