The Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division is located in the north of Yangzhou New Town, where if you stomp your feet, the whole city will tremble, except for the Salt Inspection Yuan, of course.

But many people know that in the recent period, Lin Daguan from Suzhou stomped his feet, and the Salt Transportation Division was about to tremble.

The main reason is that Fei Yun, the Salt Transportation Division, is not hard to speak.

The most obvious example is that the Yangzhou Weiguan Army began to fully replace Yanding, and in addition to the Yunjun, Tun Army and other arms, the Salt Army began to be formed.

For the Salt Transport Division, this is equivalent to abolishing martial arts and handing over all the law enforcement powers and its own armed forces, but Fei Yunenvoy agreed so stubbornly.

Many Yangzhou salt merchants who are not accustomed to Lin Daguan are eager to get rid of this waste as soon as possible.

Today, Lin Daguan appeared in the Salt Transportation Division again, sitting unhurriedly in the flower hall and drinking tea.

When Fei Yun's envoy hurried over, Lin Daguan said unhurriedly: "I'm going back to Suzhou." ”

Hearing this, Fei Yunzhi forcibly pressed the ecstasy in his heart, and at the same time, he had to express regret and reluctance from his eyes, expressions to body movements.

Fei Yunchen feels that in his life, now is the time to test his acting skills the most.

Lin Daguan put down the teacup, "Before leaving Yangzhou, I still have a few thoughts about the salt administration work, and I want to discuss it with you." ”

But as long as Fei Yun's envoy still has a backbone, he should ask rhetorically, what qualifications do you Lin Tailai have to think about the work of salt administration?

But the reality made Fei Yunenvoy only listen to Lin Daguan continue: "The salt industry has been developing disorderly for many years, resulting in a chaotic situation. In my opinion, it is imperative to strengthen the organization to ensure that the salt industry can continue to develop steadily. ”

Fei Yunenvoy knows that the front is all, and the back is the key.

Sure enough, I heard Lin Daguan say again: "Now there are one or two hundred salt merchants in Yangzhou City who have Woben, right?"

The Salt Transportation Division can register all these salt merchants and fix them, and generally do not add them in the future.

In the future, only registered salt merchants are allowed to hold the nest and participate in the subscription of the new nest, and the transaction of the nest is only allowed to be carried out between the registered salt merchants. ”

The salt merchant who holds the nest is called the nest merchant, and if the nest will not be issued to the newcomer in the future, then the number of nest merchants will be fixed from now on.

In very fashionable words, this is the solidification of the circle,

In the future, it will be difficult for outsiders to enter the core circle of the salt industry, and they can only be attached to, leased, affiliated, or subcontracted by the nest merchants who hold the nest capital.

Fei Yunzhi didn't quite understand Lin Daguan's proposal, but he had already thought that there seemed to be many nest merchants in Lin's salt industry

The proprietor Lin Erge, the big shopkeeper Lu Junbi, the ambiguous Wu Tian clan, and the non-human Suzhou Jinongcang all hold a nest to a greater or lesser extent, and they are all considered nest merchants by definition.

There is also a dowry of 5,000 yuan from Wang Yanshang, which was placed under the name of Lin Wang.

In this way, Lin's salt industry has at least five nest merchants?

Other people's salt industry is one family, and the ownership of salt is concentrated in the name of the proprietor, and only the proprietor is a nest merchant.

Only the internal property rights relationship of Lin's salt industry has such bells and whistles, and everyone did not understand it before.

No matter what Lin Tailai wants to do in the future, as long as the number of nest merchants is fixed, then each nest merchant quota is very precious.

There are 1,200 nest merchants in Yangzhou City, and Lin's salt industry occupies five.

Fei Yunenvoy didn't dare to think about it anymore, it was all a matter for the successor, even if it was a monstrous flood, it had nothing to do with him.

Lin Daguan suddenly asked again: "Do you know, why do you want to let Ling Dai Sin be retained?" ”

Fei Yunenvoy replied humbly: "That's because I have made a contribution to exposing Cai Yushi, and the Lianghuai salt industry needs a stable transition, so the imperial court gave me a chance." ”

Lin Daguan laughed a few times and replied very truthfully: "The reason why you are allowed to keep the crime is because you are the easiest to handle with the charge on your back!"

If someone else were to be the salt transport envoy, who would be willing to discuss the salt administration work with me? Who is willing to carry the infamy behind my back and help me implement the New Deal?

So I'd rather keep you for a while than get a new one. ”

An official who has already broken his backbone has no temper even in the face of such a face-riding PUA.

In the end, Lin Daguan warned: "I hope that you will get things done quickly during the last period of your tenure."

Hopefully, the next time I go to Yangzhou City, everything will be settled.

In addition, my proposal for today is to be kept strictly confidential and not to be passed on to anyone.

Before the registration is completed, if I hear the slightest rumor outside, I will think that you must have leaked it on purpose! ”

The main reason is that Lin Daguan is worried that if the news spreads, others will follow suit.

After training the salt transport envoy, Lin Daguan returned home and said to Wang Xiaoniang: "I will go to Suzhou tomorrow." ”

The newlywed honeymoon has not yet passed, and Mrs. Wang is reluctant to separate, "I am not pregnant yet." ”

Lin Daguan sighed: "The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, how can he? Oh no, you should take merit as the foundation of your life.

The affairs of Suzhou City can't leave me, so I can only endure the pain and temporarily separate from Qing. ”

Wang Xiaoniang was still a little emotional, and complained: "Then you are too anxious to go, can't you delay for a few days?" ”

Lin Tailai coaxed and said, "The distance between Su Yang is not too far, I can come back at any time." ”

Wang Xiaoniang sighed and said, "This is probably the life of our Huiren woman." ”

There are too many people going out to do business in Huizhou, and many women can only stay at home, waiting for their husbands to come back for many years.

Early the next morning, Lin Daguan hurried out of Lijin Gate, boarded a boat at the canal wharf, and headed south to return to Suzhou.

Commander Wan, Lu Junbi and others wanted to see off Lin Daguan, but they didn't catch up.

Then another day later, Wang Zhiyou, the deputy envoy of Zhejiang and the acting governor of Suzhou, crossed Yangzhou City with his family

Only then did the insiders suddenly realize, no wonder Lin Daguan suddenly retreated from Yangzhou City in a hurry.

Second Brother Lin explained to the outside world: "Don't get me wrong, my fourth brother rushed back to Suzhou, just to prepare for the welcoming ceremony of the new mansion in advance. ”

After Lin Daguan returned to Suzhou, he immediately called Gao Changjiang from the construction site.

"You put aside other things these days and prepare for the biggest welcome ceremony right away!" Lin Daguan ordered.

Gao Changjiang sincerely suggested: "It's better to entrust outsiders to prepare." ”

Lin Daguan said: "You really started to slack off! Sure enough, I can't endure hardship anymore! Sure enough, I started to lose motivation! ”

Gao Changjiang defended: "Let's organize, I'm afraid it will cause a bad impact!" Others may misunderstand and think that we want to engage in civil revolt again!

So in order to avoid rumors, it's better to hire another outsider! ”

After thinking twice, Lin Daguan asked, "Isn't it okay to use the name of the government?" ”

Gao Changjiang asked very objectively: "What is the difference between organizing more people in the name of the government and organizing people in person in the hall and sitting in the museum?"

There must be someone misunderstood, will the museum want to give the newcomer a dismount. ”

Therefore, there are sequelae to do anything.

When Lin Daguan was discussing with Gao Changjiang how to greet him, suddenly an errand came to the door to submit a post, and the eunuch Sun of Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving was invited.

Gao Changjiang was stunned and said, "The rumor you released in the hall won't come true, right?" ”

The weaving bureau is the yamen of the palace foreign faction, at this time Suzhou and Hangzhou did not have their own weaving bureau, but together collectively called the Suzhou and Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, generally based in Suzhou.

The current weaving eunuch Sun Longnai came out of the celebrant eunuch, and was sent to Jiangnan to retire when he was old.

This is the default rule of the eunuch industry, and many eunuchs who have a good relationship with the emperor are sent to Nandu or a good place in Jiangnan to retire when they are old, which can be regarded as a kind of care for the old eunuchs.

Before Sun Long became a weaving eunuch, he was a eunuch in the celebrant eunuch, and if he was benchmarked against officialdom, he should enjoy Shangshu-level treatment.

Therefore, after receiving the invitation, Lin Daguan went to the Weaving Office near the Xuanmiaoguan in accordance with etiquette to meet Eunuch Sun.

Sun Long, a eunuch who is fifty-eight years old this year, has a personable and gentle appearance, and has a good reputation in the local area at this time.

Sun Long is a cultural eunuch with a high level of education, and he is very knowledgeable in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and his level is not low.

When Lin Daguan saw Sun Long with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sigh again and again, sometimes history can really make jokes for people.

In history, Eunuch Sun has been in Jiangnan for more than 20 years, and he is not a greedy person, and he has also done a lot of public welfare and book repair. And he has a good relationship with many scholars in private, otherwise Shen Shixing would not have been able to shelter him.

However, the most vivid historical background left by Eunuch Sun to future generations was the expulsion from Suzhou by the tax-resisting masses more than ten years later.

As a result, he became a symbol of "expropriation and extortion", and he became famous in textbooks hundreds of years later.

Thinking of this, Lin Daguan suddenly hurt a little bit, wouldn't he be like Sun Long, who appeared in books as a villain hundreds of years later?

Then I have done so many good things to promote historical progress, isn't it in vain?

In this way, Lin Daguan subconsciously sighed: "Knowing that I sin against me, it is only spring and autumn." ”

Eunuch Sun who was greeting: "??? ”

Is this Lin Tailai seriously ill? What does it mean to suddenly come up with such a sentence?

Lin Daguan took the initiative to ask: "I don't know what Sun Gong is calling, what are you doing?" ”

Sun Long then spoke: "I heard a rumor in the city recently that the Weaving Bureau is going to send an additional 10,000 horses to the machine owner, and you will be responsible for collecting it by Lin Garrison. ”

Lin Daguan replied: "This is a rumor, it stops at the wise, why should Sun Gong care." ”

Sun Long smiled: "I have also heard a sentence from others, rumors are far ahead of the prophecy, I feel very reasonable." ”

Eunuch Sun meant to imply that rumors could be turned into facts.

Eunuchs like them who were sent abroad for the economy were mainly tasked with collecting money for the imperial palace.

If you can send more money to the palace and make the emperor appreciate him more, why not?

Moreover, the position of the eunuch in Suzhou and Hangzhou has a lot of money and little trouble, and the location is in the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is far away from the sword and sword shadow in the palace, which can be called the fat shortage among the eunuchs.

Since it is a fat shortage, there must always be someone staring, and if you don't behave well, you may be replaced by other eunuchs.

Therefore, although Eunuch Sun feels that the current years are quiet, the sense of crisis is really indispensable.

At this time, Lin Daguan looked very confused, and his face was full of surprise, as if he didn't expect Eunuch Sun to have this kind of thought.

He was so frightened that he could only repeat: "Sun Gong! That's a rumor! ”

Sun Long, who prides himself on being a cultural person, doesn't like to directly force others to do things.

Then he went around in a circle and said, "You have also made a pilgrimage to the Lord of Long Live Lord, how do you feel?" ”

Lin Daguan respectfully saluted to the north and replied: "The emperor is wise and martial, rare through the ages, and it is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have this holy monarch!" ”

Sun Long knew that he would definitely not hear the truth, so he continued to hint: "Although Long Live Lord is the Son of Heaven, after all, he grew up in the world, and he also has seven emotions and six desires."

Emperors also have material needs, you know?

Lin Daguan immediately responded: "The emperor is pure and generous, benevolent and upright, under the rule of the gods, raising hundreds of millions of people, and thinking only the inheritance of the ancestors, should have the posture of a king."

As for the seven emotions and six desires, they are karmic obstacles that only ordinary people have, and they are not enough! ”

Eunuch Sun: "."

Who stepped on a horse more like a eunuch? Lao Tzu wants to tell you the truth, but you are patting yourself in the void for thousands of miles?

Lao Tzu said that the emperor is also a person, but you have to say that the emperor is a god!

It didn't make sense, so Eunuch Sun changed the direction and asked: "Then you have won a martial champion, which can be regarded as the emperor's grace, how do you repay the emperor's grace?" ”

Lin Daguan said impassionedly: "You should do your best to serve the country loyally!" Only do your best, and then die! In this way, we can live up to the emperor's grace! ”

Eunuch Sun rubbed his forehead, it was really a headache to encounter this kind of elm head that couldn't be enlightened.

So Eunuch Sun became irritable and directly said: "Our family sees that your bones are strange, and you are a genius who is unique in ten thousand!"

You're not one of those pedantic civil officials, you have to open up the pattern! If you can pay tribute to the palace, you are repaying the emperor's kindness! ”

Lin Daguan said eloquently: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" The whole world is the emperor, why do you need to deliberately expropriate? ”

Eunuch Sun didn't listen to these, and only asked, "Can you do the matter of sending 10,000 horses?" ”

Lin Daguan began to complain: "The situation in Suzhou City, Sun Gong, you don't know it, 10,000 horses doesn't sound like much, but it will definitely make the city commotion." ”

Eunuch Sun really wanted to force Lin Tai to do things, but he also knew very well that he didn't have that strength.

Recently, there is a popular saying in Suzhou City: If you are not afraid of a civil uprising, you are afraid that Lin Tailai will mediate a civil uprising.

So after Sun Long thought about it, he said in a consultative tone: "Then how many horses do you think should be appropriate?" ”

Lin Daguan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, "Sun Gong obviously has a way to make money, but why does he only think about killing chickens and taking eggs to dry up and fish?" ”

Sun Long hurriedly asked, "What?" What is the way to make a lot of money? ”

Lin Daguan was not in a hurry, and asked with a smile: "It seems that Sun Gong really wants to repay the emperor's kindness?" ”

Looking at Lin Daguanren's small expression now, and then thinking of the embarrassed performance of Lin Daguanren just now, who was forced to dodge left and right under his own encirclement and interception, Eunuch Sun suddenly remembered a sentence.

The most astute hunters often appear as prey.
