But I heard that Lin Tailai didn't know how, and he suddenly got very close to the Shen family recently, which is really difficult."
Magistrate Deng sighed: "I finally understand why my predecessor, Mr. Feng, was unwilling to stay for a moment and left in a hurry when his term was up.
A mere village tyrant turned into a fight between gods and gods."
Everyone thinks in the highest light. On one side is the leader of the literary circle, Wangge Lao, and on the other is Shen Shoufu. What else is this if not a fight between gods?
This is why it is said that being a magistrate in Jiangnan is a hellish level of difficulty.
Master Xing Ming analyzed: “It’s not just a simple comparison of the strength of the two sides, but also the importance they attach to it.
The proprietor's transfer to Wu County was directly run by Mr. Wang Ge. If he refused to appoint Lin Tailai, he would definitely be dissatisfied by the two Mr. Wang.
Lin Tailai is currently only close to the second son of the Shen family. Shen Shoufu himself may not even know who Lin Tailai is.
It’s easy to tell which one is more important and which one is more important.”
But Master Qianliang also reminded him: "Lin Tailai is a small matter, but the assessment of money and food is a big deal. In Jiangnan, there is no performance more important than money and food.
Nowadays, Lin Tailai directly controls the first capital, the fifth capital, the thirteenth capital, and indirectly controls the eleventh capital. It has become a climate.
Moreover, these places are the villages closest to the city. According to my estimate, they can account for one-sixth or one-seventh of the county's money and food.
This ratio is really not small. If the attack on Lin Tailai affects the collection of money and food in these cities, the blame will still fall on you, the proprietor, in the end.
Therefore, the proprietor must be cautious, and before recruiting Lin Tailai, he must first consider what to do with money and food."
Master Xing Ming also suggested: "If we can find a powerful force that can quickly replace Lin Tailai, we can minimize the impact on the collection of money and food.
Lin Tailai must be eliminated before the autumn harvest, and then the new forces can quickly take over those areas before the autumn harvest."
Master Qianliang asked: "Where can there be such a hall?"
Master Xing Ming quickly replied: "The power of Santangkou in Mudu Town is enough to replace Lin Tailai.
Furthermore, if the Lin Tailai administrative area is equally divided among the three halls, it will not result in one family being the only one with the largest tail, and it will be more conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the proprietor."
When Magistrate Deng heard this, he asked, "Have those three Tang officials contacted you?"
Master Xing Ming replied: "After the news of the proprietor's appointment in Wu County spread, they came looking for him.
Among them, there is a leader named Yang Zhen who has great foresight and can use and replace Lin Tailai."
The clerk suggested: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided hastily.
The proprietor has taken office as a new official, so tomorrow he might as well observe the customs, patrol the countryside, and see the three leaders with his own eyes."
Magistrate Deng nodded and said: "Yes, I am still undecided. I will wait until the inspection is completed before making a decision!"
You can't make decisions by sitting in your room and patting your head. You have to go down and see the real situation with your own eyes in order to make the right decision.
In this way, Magistrate Deng issued an order to board the boat outside Xumen tomorrow and patrol westward along the Xujiang River.
Why not just take a boat out of the city? That's because there is no water gate in Xumen, the closest place to the Yamen.
The Xujiang River originates from Taihu Lake and flows into the moat outside Xumen.
In order to prevent Taihu Lake water from pouring back into Suzhou City through the Xujiang River during floods, there is no water gate in Xumen to separate the city from the Xujiang River.
Therefore, among all the gates in Suzhou City, only Xumen does not have a water gate. Professor Lin always walked through Xumen when he entered the city.
There is a large wharf where the Xujiang River merges into the moat. Anyone who wants to board or disembark boats outside Xumen passes here.
The first government activity of Xinzhi County after taking office was to patrol along the Xujiang River, all the way to the Taihu Lake.
After this news spread in a small area, it was immediately interpreted as a signal from Xinzhi County to target Professor Lin!
If the Sanshilipu River Basin is divided into the upper, middle and lower reaches, then both sides of the middle and lower reaches, that is, two-thirds of the basin have been occupied by Professor Lin.
After Xinzhi County took office, he patrolled along the Xujiang River. I heard that he would stay in Xiju Town of the county tonight. Mudu Town had once defeated Professor Lin. What was it but giving Professor Lin eye drops?
One characteristic of Suzhou city and places near the city is that the rivers are extremely congested and often travel slowly.
The new official of Deng County magistrate kept everything simple when he took office. He boarded the official boat in a low-key manner from the big pier outside Xumen. After setting off, he inevitably had to be blocked.
Fortunately, there was a government official standing at the bow of the boat, and the speed was still faster than ordinary boats.
But before the official ship had gone two miles, a harsh gong sound was suddenly heard.
Then I saw a large, luxurious boat rushing out from behind, with two guys standing on the bow.
One person banged the gong fiercely, and the other shouted at the ships blocking the road ahead and on the left and right, "Avoid, avoid!"
This large, luxurious ship was rushing all the way at a very fast speed.
Even the official ship of Deng Zhixian County was pushed aside, and then they watched the luxurious ship sail away.
No matter how low-key Deng Zhixian was, he couldn't keep his face at this moment and asked angrily: "Whose ship is this?"
A government official who knew a lot about Jianghu affairs replied: "The flag with the word "Lin" hanging on it must be the new ship of Lin Tailai, the master of Iron Fist and Golden Whip!"
The balance in Deng Zhixian's heart tilted once again. What else is this horse-riding man struggling with? Let's do it later!
Parents should not be insulted!
