At the beginning, according to the division of labor, Lin Daguanren's mother Lin Song was in Hengtang Town, and his father Lin Guozhong and sister-in-law were in Mudu Town.

After appeasing Huang Wuniang, Lin Daguan said to Lin Song outside the house: "Mother, don't go to Mudu Town to join in the fun, concentrate on accompanying the Huang family here, don't let the Huang family feel cold." ”

Lin Song nodded yes, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and the two fetuses are very important.

There is a Lin family's other business at the foot of Lingyan Mountain in Mudu Town, where Fan Niangzi has been living for nearly a year.

When Lin Daguan rushed to Lin's other business, he saw that the atrium was already full of people.

Not only did my father and three older brothers come, but even a lot of big and small leaders in the community came.

For example, Gao Changjiang, Ma Yingming, the chief tax officer, and Uncle Song, the chief accountant, as well as the early Four King Kongs, who are relatively close, basically appear here, and the left and right protectors also joined in after the arrival of Lin Daguan.

Lin Daguan couldn't help muttering, how could these people be more active than themselves.

The battle at the time of the birth of the newborn is not big, and the main thing is to look at the inheritance of the family property and the thickness of the foundation.

Lin Tailai had just finished greeting everyone and exchanged a few simple greetings.

Suddenly, I saw my sister-in-law rushing out of the hall and shouted, "It's born!" It's a boy! ”

Before Lin Tailai could react, cheers erupted in the courtyard, no matter whether the baby boy was a descendant or not, at least the Lin family had a future.

Being a human being for two lives, being a father for the first time, Lin Tailai was a little confused, and he was subconsciously still doing psychological construction.

Lin Guozhong was quite calm, and pushed his son Lin Tailai, "Go in and have a look!" ”

Although Father Lin was also very happy, he was not so excited that he was overwhelmed, after all, he already had four grandchildren before.

Lin Tailai walked to the main hall of the inner courtyard, and the newborn was taken out of the back room and let Lin Tai come to see for a while.

Seeing this crumpled little thing with his own eyes, the son changed from a symbol to a small life, and blood and family affection arose.

This is the first real blood relative since Lin Daguan's crossing.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Fan Niangzi in the back room eased up, picked up again, and then let Lin Tai come in to visit.

Fan Niangzi's slightly aggressive expression on weekdays has softened a lot now, adding a bit of pride, and her eyes are on her son next to her most of the time.

Lin Daguan sat next to him and spoke, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Fan Niangzi looked at the baby boy tenderly, and replied, "I was thinking, what kind of wife will he find in the future?" ”

Lin Tailai was speechless, this brain circuit was too jumpy. My son has just been born, and I started to think about my family?

However, at this time, Lin Daguan could only choose to be obedient and say: "I pinch my fingers, this son's wife must come from the prime minister's house." ”

Fan Niangzi's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Are you talking about the Shen family?" That's pretty good. ”

"Nine times out of ten, you can." Lin Daguan is not a talker, and Second Master Shen expressed his willingness to marry two days ago.

Besides, with the super fertility of more than a dozen children per capita in the history of the two brothers of the Shen family, how can they share one or two of their own families.

Although the son in front of him is only from the outer room, most of the children of Second Master Shen are not from the outer room.

Fan Niangzi asked again: "What nickname did you say?" ”

In this era, many people have a habit of giving newborns only a small name, calling them until they are teenagers, and then giving them an official real name.

For example, Lin Daguan's nickname is Sixi, and he only had his real name Lin Tailai at the age of twelve.

Hearing Fan Niangzi mention her nickname, Lin Tailai said generously: "You are the hardest, your son's nickname is up to you!" ”

Fan Niangzi already had an idea in her heart, and when she heard the words, she said with great interest: "Today is the first day of the ninth month, and my nickname is Jiuyi, I think it sounds very good." ”

Using the date of birth as a nickname is also a characteristic of the times.

Ninety-one? Lin Daguan frowned slightly, this number seemed to be a bit special.

However, it was not good to arouse Fan Niangzi's interest, so Lin Daguan echoed and said: "It's good, it's good, ninety-nine is one." ”

Coming out of the inner courtyard, Lin Daguan continued to accept congratulations from others.

Gao Changjiang suggested: "Why don't you sit in the museum and improvise a poem?" ”

Lin Daguan glanced at Gao Changjiang and snorted coldly: "You want to roast me on the fire? ”

If it is written for Fan Niangzi, what should Huang Wuniang do? Which one is high and which one is low, it's all troublesome to calculate.

He Lin Tailai didn't have two related poems of the same level, so he simply didn't write one.

Although Mr. Fan Niangzi is here, Lin Daguan has not been staying on Fan Niangzi's side and not leaving.

He still maintained the rhythm of going back and forth between Mudu Town and Hengtang Town, taking turns sleeping for one night on each side.

After another four days, Huang Wuniang, who was unwilling to fall too far behind, was about to give birth.

So the scene that happened in the Lin family's other business in Mudu Town was repeated in the Lin family's compound in Hengtang Town.

It was still that large group of people, who stood in the vestibule of the Lin family's compound in Hengtang Town today, waiting for the arrival of another newborn.

The two mothers of the east and the west, neither side can be offended.

I waited from noon to noon, and finally saw the old man Tang's old woman hurrying out of the inner courtyard, and shouted with joy: "It's born!" It's also a boy! ”

There were cheers around Lin Daguan again, although Lin Daguan really wanted a daughter in his heart, but his son was not bad.

After all, in the world's concept, it still advocates more children and more blessings.

After Lin Daguan accepted the congratulations of his subordinates, he went in to visit the newborn and Huang Wuniang.

After comparison, I feel that the eldest son, who was born four days earlier, is whiter, while the second son born today is stronger.

Looking at Huang Wuniang again, her face was filled with a feeling of relaxation, as if she had completed a stressful task.

Lin Daguan said with pity: "Why are you really bothered, in fact, I love my daughter more." ”

After Fan Niangzi gave birth to her son four days ago, Huang Wuniang felt tremendous pressure in her heart, lest she give birth to a daughter and be completely compared to the other party.

Hearing Lin Daguan's words, Huang Wuniang glanced at her, "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back." ”

Now that she has given birth to a son, Huang Wuniang can relax in her heart.

Then Huang Wuniang asked, "I heard that you agreed to marry the Shen family on the Fan family's side?" ”

Lin Daguan heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and took the initiative to say: "Don't worry! Alike! ”

Huang Wuniang said again: "But I heard that Shen Erye has only one newborn daughter recently, how to divide it?" ”

At this time, Lin Daguan couldn't compete with women, so he promised:

"You can rest assured! I will urge Second Master Shen to hurry up and have another daughter, the time will definitely be in time to ensure that everyone has a share. ”

Then he quickly changed the topic and said, "You better think of a nickname for your son first!" ”

Huang Wuniang said confidently: "Today is the fifth day of the ninth month, and the nickname is Jiuwu." ”

Lin Tailai: "."

One is ninety-one, the other is ninety-five, very good and powerful. Forget it, anyway, the nicknames are all screaming, it's better than four to listen to it.

Originally, according to Lin Daguan's plan, after accompanying the two women to confinement, they would go to Yangzhou again.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and by the end of September, Lin Daguan found that he was really lacking in skills before the end of the year.

Therefore, I can only send someone to Yangzhou to deliver the letter, so that Wang Yuanwai can continue to connect with colleagues and collect "criminal evidence", don't rush to launch it first, and wait for the next year.

From the end of September to the beginning of October, it is the annual autumn harvest season.

Of course, for people like Lin Daguan, he doesn't go down to the field to harvest rice, and he is really busy after the autumn harvest.

At the end of the autumn harvest, it was the time when the government began to collect money and grain, and Zhao Zhigao, the governor of Yingtian, attached unprecedented importance to this year's money and grain.

I have to say that being an official depends on strength for three points and luck for seven points, and Zhao Zhigao's luck is very good.

Because last year, the Suzhou government exempted the arrears of money and grain in the past ten years, which eased the pressure on the people, so this year, the people's resistance to paying money and grain is not serious.

At the same time, after two consecutive years of minor disasters, this year is finally a good year, and the pressure on the government to collect money and grain is naturally light.

Therefore, Lin Daguan estimates that Zhao Zhigao's results in completing the money and grain indicators this year will not be too bad, but the specific data will not be known until the end of the year.

In addition, after the autumn harvest, it means that the agricultural leisure time has arrived, and the agricultural leisure often means that the government projects have started.

This is another very worrying matter for Lin Daguan, after repeated discussions with the two county officials, this year's government engineering project was finally determined.

On the Wu County side, the dredging of the waterway between Mudu Town and Fengqiao Town was started to ensure that the cargo ships in Mudu Town could go north directly into the Grand Canal unimpeded.

On the side of Changzhou County, an embankment was built on the shore of a large lake outside the city in the east, and it was named Yuangong Embankment.

As soon as the project was determined and handed over to the two engineering teams from the time of the eldest brother Lin, before the senior officials of Lin could take a breath, something happened to the door again.

In accordance with the agreement, the Yuan family grain store in Jingzhou, Huguang, quickly transported a large amount of rice to Suzhou City after the autumn harvest, and the first batch was as high as 5,000 stones, using more than 20 large ships.

However, on the transaction price, the two sides have been arguing for a long time.

Lin Daguan's price was 500,000 catties of salt for 10,000 stone rice, while the asking price of Yuan's grain store was 1 million catties of salt.

In the end, the deal was reached at the price of 700,000 catties of salt for 10,000 stone rice.

In his busy schedule, Gao Changjiang came over again and came up with a charter for running the college.

According to the instructions, the college is divided into a junior school and a senior school, and only the junior school is open for the time being.

At the same time, it is divided into short classes and long classes, with those over 15 years old entering short classes and 10 to 15 years old entering long classes.

Lin Daguan only looked at the curriculum and said dissatisfiedly: "In the literature class, I only learn 100 family names and 1,000 characters? ”

Gao Changjiang said suspiciously: "I said in the hall, as long as you teach literacy, you don't need to learn the Four Books and Five Classics." ”

Lin Daguan instructed: "It is not enough to learn the surnames of hundreds of families and thousand-character characters, so that you can only recognize words and cannot use them."

So I compiled my poems into a book of poems as a compulsory textbook for advanced literature classes! ”

Gao Changjiang: "."

Do you want to compile your shocking remarks into a collection and use them as teaching materials?

In the busyness of Lin Daguan, the time reached the end of the fourteenth year of Wanli.

Lin Daguan originally thought about restructuring the community organization system, but because he was too busy, he could only postpone the restructuring until next year.

Moreover, the restructuring will inevitably bring short-term chaos, and it is indeed not suitable for restructuring at the peak of community affairs.

Before the official government was sealed for the New Year, Lin Daguan went to the procuratorate to visit Governor Zhao and asked: "How is the payment of money and grain in Jiangnan this year?" ”

Governor Zhao replied happily: "Ninety! ”

Those who are familiar with the rules of officialdom understand what this means, so Lin Daguan was silent.

Seven achievements are no punishment, eight achievements are qualified, and nine achievements are outstanding.

Seeing that Lin Tailai didn't seem to be interested, Governor Zhao asked in surprise, "What?" Are you unhappy? ”

Lin Daguan sighed: "Last year, the tax resistance was quelled, and this year's completion rate is as high as 90%, and the political performance is extremely outstanding for two consecutive years.

As far as I, who is in Suzhou, of course, hope that the old gentleman will continue to be the governor, and I don't want to see the old gentleman leave. ”

Governor Zhao is the most direct and powerful umbrella of the Lin Group in the Jiangnan region, and his departure is a great loss for the Lin Group.

Zhao Zhigao smiled: "How can it be as exaggerated as you think?" No matter who else is the governor, can it still shake you? ”

Lin Daguan shook his head, "I can conclude now that the next governor will definitely have no kindness to me." ”

Zhao Zhigao, who is familiar with the rules of officialdom, did not ask why, of course he understood the truth.

In the Ming officialdom, suspicion avoidance and checks and balances are ubiquitous.

For the governor of Yingtian, who is in charge of Shoufu's hometown, it is impossible for Shoufu to propose a candidate, and even anyone who has a relationship with Shoufu cannot be used on the surface.

Those hostile forces will definitely keep an eye on this candidate, and expect Shousuke to fall into the grip on this issue.

With Shen Shoufu's character that does not show any flaws, he will not be tough on this issue.

As for why Zhao Zhigao was able to be the governor of Yingtian before, it was recommended by Lin Tailai through Hai Rui, and it had nothing to do with Shen Shoufu at that time.

In other words, Zhao Zhigao first became the governor of Yingtian, and then went to seek refuge in Shen Shoufu; Instead of first taking refuge in Shen Shoufu, and then becoming the governor of Yingtian.

Zhao Zhigao couldn't help but joke: "It's just a new governor, you will be afraid?" The person who is scared in my heart should be the new governor, right? ”

Lin Daguan said faintly: "Last year, someone who was supposed to be the governor of the Heavenly Patrol Wei was planted in my hands and was directly dismissed; This year, the governor of Fengyang, Yang, was also planted in my hands and was deprived of the governor's dispatch.

If there is another governor who doesn't know what to do next year in my hands, it will be the third time in three years to completely destroy the Jiangzuo feudal officials!

At that time, what will the court think of me? What does the emperor think of me?

Won't I become Mu Xiu Yu Lin and I will be alone? Will it be seen as a troublemaker? ”

Zhao Zhigao: "."

What is Mu Xiu Yu Lin you are alone? Thinking about it carefully, what Lin Tailai said seems to make some sense?

It can only be said that Lin Tailai's troubles are so fresh and distinctive.

Then Zhao Zhigao spoke again: "After listening to your words, I suddenly felt something.

Now that you have a son, you can be regarded as starting a family, and you should start a word, otherwise others will not be able to call you well.

As a senior, I'll give you a font name, how about the word Duxiu? Taken from the woods show in the forest. And Lin is your last name, which is just related. ”

Lin Daguan: "."

Lin Tailai, the only word? No. Imabu?

It's the end of the month, so let's ask for a monthly pass to warm up!!
