Seeing that Lin Daguan, who had always been known for his arrogance, was so approachable to Sergeant Caojun, Zhang Fengyi shook his head, turned around and left.

Lu Shiren, who was traveling with him, asked: "We came to urge Lin Tailai to hurry, why did the old gentleman leave without saying a word?" ”

Zhang Fengyi sighed: "Lin Tailai has a big picture in his heart, this little thing in our calligraphy and painting world, he is afraid that it does not have much weight in his heart, so why bother to humiliate himself." ”

Lin Daguan treats his subordinates and men well, and the benefits are very good, which is the fundamental reason why the soldiers return to their hearts.

For example, most of the profits of the 12,000 salt introduced by the "rent" were subsidized to the Suzhou Weicaojun in the form of commercial cooperation.

Lin Daguan finished talking with the fifty Cao soldiers today, and was about to get up and leave.

At this time, someone suddenly stood outside the circle and shouted, "Sit in the hall!" Sit in! ”

Lin Daguan turned his head to look, but saw Lu Junbi, the big shopkeeper of Yangzhou Lin's salt industry, led by Zhang Wu, the right protector, and walked towards him.

"What's going on in Yangzhou City that makes you so eager to come to me?" Lin Daguan asked suspiciously.

Lu Junbi hurriedly said: "I heard that the Salt Transportation Division is going to release five thousand new nests!" ”

Sure enough, it's a big deal! Lin Daguan was overjoyed, and subconsciously said: "Isn't this just a wish come true!" ”

What they lack most in the Lin salt industry at present is Woben.

Although it has the right to operate 12,000 salt leads, it is "rented" after all, and the ownership of Woben is still someone else's.

If you search the market, you can also buy a few hundred nests, but compared to the scale of Lin's salt industry, a few hundred nests are not interesting.

But five thousand nests are really a lot, if you can get these five thousand nests, the name of Yangzhou Lin's salt industry can be regarded as really erected.

Lin Daguan quickly calculated in his heart, and said to Lu Junbi: "If I come forward to admit it, I'm afraid it is not appropriate, after all, I am now an official."

So I need to find an agent who can be reliable in all aspects, and this agent must be closely related to me, so that others can know it at a glance. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Daguan had an idea, and immediately instructed Zhang Wu, the right protector beside him:

"You return to Suzhou immediately, no matter what, let my second brother set off for Yangzhou, just say this is my request!"

Zhang Wu took the order, turned around and went back to Suzhou.

Lin Daguan's meaning is obviously to invite the second brother Lin Yun to come out and act as the "legal representative" of Yangzhou Lin's salt industry.

In the past, the nests were all "rented", so Lin's salt industry did not need to clarify the ownership, and it did not matter whether there was a "legal representative" or not.

But now that the government has released a new 5,000 nest, if you want to recognize the nest, you must clarify the ownership in order to connect with the government.

Lu Junbi said again: "The value of these 5,000 nests is no less than 10,000 acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many coveters in Yangzhou City.

Even Wang Yuanwai had thoughts, but I stopped him, and persuaded him to secretly help sit in the hall and recognize the nest. ”

Lin Daguan said in surprise: "We recognize the nest, do we still need his help?" ”

Lu Junbi explained: "Wang Yuanwai has saved some silver over the years, and he can lend us silver. ”

Lin Daguan was very surprised and said, "What am I borrowing his money for?" ”

Lu Junbi continued to explain: "It takes a lot of silver to recognize the nest, and in the case of 5,000 nests, just counting the fee paid to the government, it is as high as 10,000 taels.

In the next estimate, you can't take out 10,000 taels of silver in hand now, right? ”

Lin Daguan was even more surprised: "Do you still need to spend money to recognize the nest from the government?" ”

Lu Junbi: "."

He felt like a chicken talking to a duck, and his thoughts with Lin Zaikan didn't seem to be on the same channel.

If you don't spend money to pay, how can you recognize the nest from the yamen? Linglin still wants to prostitute the yamen for nothing?

Lin Daguan was a little unconvinced and said: "I see that the former magnates all had their own ways to take salt for nothing, why did they have to spend money when they came to me?" ”

Lu Junbi is familiar with the history of the salt industry, "It's because there are too many powerful people who take salt for nothing, so it leads to the flood of salt and the corruption of the salt law!"

For this reason, the imperial court had to change the system repeatedly, and then implement the nest system until now! ”

Lin Daguan didn't know if he heard it or not, anyway, he was out of the world, and his face showed a look of yearning for Bai Nayanyin.

Lu Junbi thought that Lin Daguan was worried that he would not be able to make up the money, and said: "Actually, the silver is not a big problem, and it is not the most difficult place to recognize the nest."

Wang Yuanwai can lend some, and in addition, he can use the future nest as collateral, and then find other people to borrow, and he will definitely be able to borrow.

The biggest difficulty in recognizing the nest is how to compete with the opponent."

Lin Daguan came back to his senses and replied: "It's not a question of money or not, white prostitution is a realm!" ”

There were many suspicious people who said: "Then Wang Yuanwai is willing to take the initiative to lend us money, what is the plan?" ”

Lu Junbi replied: "His idea is also very simple, he wants to get back the five thousand nests from the sitting hall. ”

Lin Daguan patted the case and shouted: "I rented the nest book with my ability, why should I pay it back?"

And it's not that I didn't give him dividends, this is a permanent lease nest, and there is no reason to ask for it! ”

Lu Junbi also felt that what he said was quite reasonable, it was difficult to make money from luxury, and he didn't want the amount of salt under his control by the big shopkeeper to decrease.

After talking about the salt industry, Lin Daguan suddenly remembered something, and instructed left and right: "Go and invite Mr. Zhang Lingxu and them!" ”

These people followed themselves to Yangzhou to develop the calligraphy and painting market, and Lu Junbi in front of him was not a partner in cooperation?

When Zhang Fengyi and the others came over, Lin Daguan smiled at Lu Junbi and said, "These are our celebrities in Suzhou, and I will introduce you to you today." ”

After sitting down again, the topic naturally shifted to the Shilin literary world.

Lu Junbi looked at Zhang Fengyi, suddenly thought of another news, and said again: "I heard that Wang Laomeng is mainly coming to Yangzhou City to hold a literary conference. ”

Zhang Fengyi's long-sleeved dance is very good at talking, and he responded when he heard this: "Five years ago in Hangzhou, two years ago in Suzhou, and this year it should be Yangzhou's turn." ”

This is to compare the emerging Yangzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou metropolises, and Lu Junbi, a native of Yangzhou, is naturally happy to hear it.

He was about to say a few words, but he heard Lin Daguan say with joy: "Isn't this another wish come true!" ”

Lu Junbi is a little inexplicable, it is understandable that Yinwo is "all wishes come true", but this literary conference can also be regarded as sitting in the hall and your "wishes come true"?

Lin Daguan sighed: "I didn't have many new works last year, and I was silent in the literary world.

This is completely out of match with my literary status and must have disappointed many people! ”

Zhang Fengyi: "."

Last spring, you Lin Tailai smashed the retro school in the northern Jingshi, forcing the retro party to dare not open an elegant gathering throughout the spring;

In the autumn, you Lin Tailai forcibly promoted the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry collection through various channels, which also caused a great split in the Suzhou literary circle.

Is this still called silence? You have to pinch the neck of the old alliance leader of the king and ride his face to output, so he can make a sound, right?

Lin Daguan continued to sigh and said: "Actually, it's not that Jiang Langcai is doing nothing, it's just that I've been immersed in poetry theory research.

Now it has finally made a big difference, but there is a lack of a suitable platform to publish and publicize.

It just so happens that the literary conference is going to be held again, or in Yangzhou, isn't this a coincidence? ”

Lu Junbi asked very curiously: "What kind of theoretical achievements have been researched in the museum?" ”

Zhang Fengyi shook his head, a person from Suzhou knows that if he can't answer like this, he will talk to death directly, this friend Lu still has too little experience.

Lin Daguan waved his hand and said heroically: "The theoretical achievement I am talking about is to end the century-old hegemony of the retro school, point out the direction of the development of poetry, and open up a new stage in the world's literary career!"

This literary conference is the best stage for me, and it will become an epoch-making scene in the history of literature, please look forward to it! ”

Lu Junbi: "."

It's too tiring to come all the way from Yangzhou, and there may be auditory hallucinations, so it's better to wash and sleep early.

When Zhang Wen, the left protector, escorted Lin Daguan back to the house to rest, he couldn't help but remind:

"Yangzhou City is going to issue a new nest, and it is also going to open a literary conference, and everything has attracted the enthusiasm and yearning of the museum, which is too much of a coincidence, right?"

Lin Daguan sneered a few times and said: "The six families believe in the dog, the three emperors fight for the paper, and the descendants of the dragon are gradually tricked!" ”

Zhang Zuo's protector couldn't understand it, so he could only be unconscious.

On the other side, Zhang Wu took a boat day and night, returned to Suzhou, and found Second Brother Lin in the Lin family's old house.

It just so happened that today's family gathering, Daddy Lin and the three brothers except Lin Tailai were there.

After hearing Zhang Wu's explanation, Lin Yunlai hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't help it, how can I understand the salt industry, and I don't understand the affairs of Yangzhou, how can it be good to spoil the fourth brother's big thing?" ”

Zhang Wu conveyed: "The meaning of sitting in the hall is not to discuss, but to ask the second master to go." ”

Before Second Brother Lin could say anything more, the third Lin Fulai jumped out and said, "If Second Brother is not happy, then let me go!" ”

Among the Lin family brothers, Lin Asan Fulai is the one with the most out-of-temper, the kind that wants to join in when he hears the excitement.

Zhang Wu responded cautiously: "I said that I was in the hall, and only the second master was allowed to go." ”

Third Brother Lin said dissatisfiedly: "What am I inferior to Second Brother? What happened to me going to Yangzhou? ”

Zhang Wu stopped talking, there were a few Lin brothers, he didn't dare to comment directly.

In the end, it was Father Lin who slapped Third Brother Lin, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Then he made a final decision and said: "Don't shirk the second child, just move to Yangzhou!" ”

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, or Father Lin can guess a little bit of Lin Tailai's thoughts.

First of all, the future interests of Yangzhou City are too great, and the second Lin Yunlai is a bit cowardly and unambitious.

Such a person is more obedient and goes to Yangzhou to be an agent, for Lin Tailai, it will be relatively more worry-free in the future, and it is not easy to cause conflicts of interest.

Secondly, the second child has not given birth to a son at present, only a daughter, which is also a plus for the time being.

Thinking of this, Lin Guozhong also sighed, after the family has a big business, there are more aspects to consider.

Asking for a monthly pass!!! I can continue to write tonight, and I guess I will finish writing the update tomorrow morning.
