That night, Lin Daguan stayed in Hushuguan, drank and socialized with the Dong tax envoy, and returned to Suzhou City the next day.

When turning from Fengqiao to Fengtang, suddenly a large fleet overtook Lin Daguan's boat.

Lin Daguan frowned and said, "Whose car is this?" ”

Zhang Wen, the left protector, went out to take a look, and came back to report: "It's Governor Zhao's!" ”

Lin Tailai was speechless, so he could only wave his hand and say, "Then forget it." ”

Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, according to the custom, the governor of Jiangnan Yingtian will move to Suzhou.

It's just that Lin Daguan didn't expect that Zhao Zhigao came quite quickly.

Also starting from Yangzhou, Zhao Zhigao walked a day or two later than himself, and actually arrived in Suzhou City at the same time as himself.

When he was outside, Lin Daguan was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the birth of the child, so he was in a hurry, but when he arrived in Suzhou City, he was not in a hurry, and he couldn't be too late to be close to home.

So Lin Daguan went to the city and went to the Suzhou Health Department to report on official business.

After seeing the commander Li Tianyu and greeting him a few words, Lin Daguan reported seriously:

"Although we have encountered many obstacles, the last batch of grain in Suzhou this year has been successfully transported to Yangzhou Shuici Warehouse, and this year's Cao Yun errand ended perfectly.

In addition, our Suzhou Weiguan Army rose to the challenge, bravely overcame all difficulties, completely took over the defense of Yangzhou Shuicicang, and completed the edict issued to us by the imperial court.

After the report of this errand is basically completed, what other instructions does Chief Li have? ”

Commander Lee: "."

What else could he instruct? What other instructions did he dare to give?

When you Lin Tailai said about overcoming all difficulties, did you mean that he led two or three hundred soldiers to capture the governor, patrol press, and soldier of Jiangbei in a row?

The point is that Lin Tailai came back alive after doing these things. Oh, but he was demoted by the imperial court.

Commander Li said in his heart: "It's good that the errand is completed, you left in a hurry last time, and you didn't decide the location of the branch office." ”

Lin Daguan hurriedly said humbly: "If you want to open a branch office, you must at least be a person at the level of commanding a servant." And now I have been demoted by the imperial court, and I am only a thousand households.

If you don't have the rank of commander, what kind of branch is there, isn't that ridiculous and generous? Don't mention this again! ”

Commander Li said: "The Suzhou Weikai branch is set up to manage the transportation of troops and supervise the transportation of grain, not for a certain person.

And these affairs are still in your charge, and the court has not exempted you from sending them.

If the branch office needs to have the rank of commander, then let the commander and the commander Lao Zhang go to hang a name, and you will preside over the ordinary affairs! ”

"That's not appropriate, right?" Lin Daguan hesitated and said.

Commander Li waved his hand and said categorically: "Everything is compliant, there is nothing inappropriate!" This is a military order, you can't disobey it!

In fact, I have already seen the location, just under the city wall, on the bachelor's street, very close to the Xu Gate, which is convenient for you to enter and exit the city gate!

From there, it's a short walk to the city gate to the Xujiang Grand Wharf and the Renewal Academy. ”

Lin Daguan said helplessly: "Then the subordinate can only obey the order." ”

Commander Li was in a trance and had an illusion, as if it was the first time he had heard the word "Xiaguan" from Lin Tailai's mouth.

Then Lin Daguan said: "I just came back today, there are more things, and I have to visit the governor."

Hearing the word "governor", Commander Li said even more considerately: "Go!" I don't have anything to do here, don't worry. ”

After seeing Lin Daguan leave, the left and right chiefs said to Commander Li: "It's understandable that the master sells Lin Daguan well, but it's a bit too much, right?" ”

Commander Li said very wisely: "He has just been demoted by the imperial court, and he must be in a bad mood, and he doesn't like anything."

At such a time, it is better to sell him well than to be underdone! ”

When Lin Daguan walked out of the Suzhou Health Department, he was still muttering in his heart, how could he meet a military attache who was theoretically a rough person, and he was better at being a man than a civilian official?

Yangzhou Wei, the commander of Wan, and Suzhou Wei, the commander of Li, are all people who are difficult to find faults.

Leave Weiqian Street, turn south, and you will arrive at the Governor's Procuratorate.

Sitting in the back hall of the procuratorate, Lin Daguan greeted: "I didn't expect the old gentleman to come back so quickly, and I almost missed it." ”

Zhao Zhigao teased and said: "I don't have to write poems and lyrics on the way, there must be Lin Shilin lyrics in the hall building, and the journey is naturally faster." ”

Then Zhao Zhigao felt that as an elder with a lot of experience in his career frustration, he should give a little encouragement to the young man who had just been demoted, and said:

"You don't have to be discouraged, you still have to work hard, and this court can sponsor you back to your original position before you leave office.

So you can't just slack off, you have to work hard! As long as you have performance, the official will be tough when he speaks for your promotion. ”

Lin Tailai replied: "My official position is insignificant, but now is the most critical time for you, old man."

Last year, the collection of money and grain in Jiangnan was completed very well, and if you make persistent efforts this year, and then add the credit for quelling the chaos, your political achievements will be very strong.

After the spring grain is shipped next year, I will help you exert your strength in Shoufu, and maybe you will be promoted to the rank of servant. After all, old sir, you are also from Hanlin and are qualified to enter the Ministry of Officials as a court official.

No matter how bad it is, with the performance of collecting money and grain in Jiangnan in the past two years, you can also go to be a household servant! ”

Zhao Zhigao couldn't help but subconsciously say: "Is this really the case? ”

Lin Daguan encouraged: "So no matter what, the old gentleman must not slack off, and must muster up energy!"

As long as you have money and food performance this year, I will be tough to speak for your promotion. Next year, in the position of the official of the six departments, there will definitely be a place for you! ”

Zhao Zhigao: "."

Why does this sound so familiar?

He originally wanted to motivate Lin Tailai, but why was he motivated in reverse?

Then I heard Lin Daguan say: "I just came back today, there are more things, and I have to visit the Shen family."

Hearing the word "Shen family", Zhao Zhigao said very considerately: "Go!" I don't have anything to do here, don't worry. ”

Coming out of the Governor's Procuratorate, Lin Daguan sighed in his heart, it is better to Suzhou. People in my hometown are intimate when they talk and do things, and they are much more comfortable than people outside.

Coming out of the governor's court, Lin Daguan went straight to the Shen Mansion without stopping.

The brothers of the Zhang family, the left and right protectors, also followed Lin Daguan and ran around, secretly thinking, why every time I go back to Suzhou, it is like an old shopkeeper inspecting his own shops, as if he is not at ease if he doesn't see it with his own eyes?

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Shen Mansion, and Shen Yongjia and the second master of Shen were still sitting in the front hall drinking tea.

After seeing Lin Daguan, Second Master Shen nodded and said, "This time I did a good job, and I came to visit me on the day I returned to the city." ”

Then he said: "The last time you talked about repairing the garden, now there are two places to choose, and I have been struggling with it for more than half a month.

One is the Taohuawu in the northwest of the city, and the other is the old garden of Dongzhuang in the east of the city, which has been abandoned for decades."

Lin Daguan replied without thinking: "Don't worry! Must Peach Blossom Dock! ”

Second Master Shen asked suspiciously, "Why?" Because Taohuawu is close to the west and north of the prosperous area, and Dongzhuang is in Fengmen, the location is relatively remote? ”

"No, no." Lin Daguan replied very objectively: "Because of your Shen family's construction in Taohuawu, I can take the opportunity to expand my Taohuanuan." ”

Second Master Shen: "."

A Canglang Pavilion is not enough, and you want to build another big peach blossom hermitage? ”

Lin Daguan explained: "The functions of each place are different, the location of the Peach Blossom Nunnery is suitable for public activities, and the Canglang Pavilion is a private garden.

Besides, two is too much? That Wang Wei is not even the champion, and he has made three gardens, what happened to me as the champion and got two? ”

Shen Yongjia also wanted to beep a few words on topics such as "Is it overstepping the system to sit in the garden of the pavilion and garden more than the alliance leader".

Lin Daguan hurriedly said: "Now there is a big deal, do you want the second master to participate?" ”

Second Master Shen hurriedly asked, "What kind of big deal?" ”

Lin Daguan briefly introduced: "Some people transport grain from Huguang to Suzhou, and I can transport salt from Yangzhou to Suzhou.

Then use Yangzhou salt to exchange for Huguang grain, which is expected to start immediately after the autumn harvest! ”

Shen Erye's mind turned around several times before he clarified this business logic, and then there was still something he didn't understand.

"What are the special benefits of exchanging salt for food? What do you do to make money? Isn't it the end of the multi-package project? ”

Lin Daguan said: "These rice grains are going to enter the Jinongcang in the two counties of Suzhou City, and then the Jinongcang will be restructured into a joint run between the government and the people."

At that time, we, the big donors of grain, will become representatives of the people's will and directly participate in the management of Jinong Warehouse.

I'm in Wu County, you're in Changzhou County, and one person is in charge of one county's Jinongcang. ”

"That's good!" Shen Erye patted the case.

Shen Erye's task in the family is to continue to sow seeds and spread leaves, and the second is to expand the family's foundation and prestige in Suzhou and build a century-old family.

Participating in the management of Jinong Warehouse is in the middle of it, and the top is hiding 10,000 acres of land.

Then Second Master Shen asked again: "I know that you went to Yangzhou to fight for territory, but on the Huguang side, you also have a way?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "That Yuan Zhi County in Changzhou County, his family is a big grain merchant in Jingzhou, and he can transport 10,000 stone rice to Suzhou to test the water."

And the joints along the way are basically opened, from Huguang to Jiujiang Pass, from Jiujiang Pass to Nanjing, and then from Nanjing to Suzhou, all unimpeded. ”

So Second Master Shen no longer doubted the feasibility of this matter, and said with a smile: "I don't worry about you doing things." ”

Then he asked, "I heard that both of your outer chambers are about to give birth?" How about we get married? ”

Lin Daguan said: "I don't know if it's a son or a daughter, how can it be decided now?" ”

Second Master Shen Zhizhu said: "It's okay, there are children and daughters added to my house this year, no matter whether you are a son or a daughter, you can match it!" ”

Lin Daguan said again: "I just came back today, there are more things, and I have to visit Yuan Zhixian."

Hearing the words "Yuan Zhixian", Second Master Shen said very considerately: "Go ahead!" I don't have anything to do here, don't worry. ”

So Lin Daguan came out of the Shen Mansion smoothly and went straight to the county government of Changzhou County, and he didn't even care about going home.

As the largest public affairs manager in Suzhou, Lin Daguan, who shoulders heavy responsibilities in urban construction, taxation, industry and commerce, shipping, entertainment, public welfare and other aspects, is so conscientious and conscientious.

There will be a transition period before the opening of the next big stage, but I don't know what to write, everyone leaves a word to say what plot they want to watch? After making up your mind, you will sprint down at the end of the month
