Today there are more than twenty permanent governors, which can be roughly divided into two categories: inland governors and border town governors.
There are a few special ones among them, and Governor Yingtian is one of them.
Governor Yingtian is also known as Governor Jiangnan, also known as Governor Su Song. He is special not only because of the special place of South Zhili, but also because of his special attributes.
Generally, the governor's official assignment is "to patrol a certain place and to supervise military affairs", which starts with "governor".
The title "Governor Yingtian" is "Prime Minister of Grain Reserves, Supervisor of Military Affairs and Governor of Yingtian and other Mansion", which starts with "Prime Minister of Grain Reserves", and the format is completely different.
This shows that the main job of the governor Yingtian is to supervise the money and grain of Jiangnan, but the governor of Jiangnan is only a part-time job.
Again, Jiangnan's money and grain were too important to the imperial court. This was the lifeblood of the imperial court, so it was worth setting up officials for this purpose.
If you think about it, you will know that half of the four million stone grain that was related to the imperial court's food issue came from Jiangnan, and one-sixth came from Suzhou Prefecture.
Further subdivided, about one-fiftieth came from Wu County, and one-hundred-fifty came from the territory of Xinwu Lian, a member of Lin Daguan's family (after the Mudu Town Alliance).
If Lin Daguan expands his business in Cheung Chau County next door, it won't be a big problem to achieve the "one percent grain harvest" achievement.
All in all, in order to better collect money and grain from Suzhou, Governor Yingtian's residence has been unstable in recent years, and he often moves between Nanjing and Suzhou.
Generally before the autumn harvest, Governor Yingtian would station in Suzhou and personally supervise the harvesting of grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and then stay there until the grain was shipped in the spring of the next year.
Finally, Lin Tailai concluded to Mr. Shen: "So if we follow the usual practice, we should come back in August or September. It's only July now, so of course it's not normal."
After separating from Lin Tailai, Shen Yongjia returned to his house, only to find Fan Yunlin, the Xu family's son-in-law, waiting for him.
Shen Yongjia and Fan Yunlin are "relatives" of similar age. Shen Yongjia needs help to support the family at a young age, so they had a lot of contacts in the past.
Otherwise, when Lin Tailai blocked Shen's Yizhuang, Fan Yunlin smashed Lin Tailai's entrance.
But since Shen Yongjia and Lin Tailai got closer, Fan Yunlin and Shen Yongjia had less contact.
So today Fan Yunlin suddenly arrived without saying hello, which surprised Shen Yongjia.
Fan Yunlin said straight to the point: "I came here today just to remind you that someone is going to deal with Lin Tailai."
Shen Yongjia smiled and said: "Is this worth saying? When will no one want to deal with Lin Tailai?"
Fan Yunlin did not laugh, but said seriously: "But according to my analysis, Lin Tailai is 80% doomed this time."
Shen Yongjia also frowned and asked, "Are you involved?"
Fan Yunlin did not answer directly, "I would also like to remind you that it is best to cut off with Lin Tailai as soon as possible.
As for the things Lin Tai did, it would be a serious crime if someone exposes old scores.
And you and Lin Tailai have a close relationship, so I'm afraid you will get involved. After all, others think you are Lin Tailai's backer.
Although that little thing can't possibly do anything to you, Mr. Zaifu, but after being stained, how do you know that someone with ulterior motives will not use it to criticize your father?"
Fan Yunlin stopped at the point and fulfilled his "relative" obligation to remind him so far without revealing too much.
Shen Yongjia sent Fan Yunlin away and fell into deep thought.
Fan Yunlin didn't make it clear who wanted to deal with Lin Tailai, so he could only make wild guesses.
Moreover, it is not certain whether it has anything to do with the upcoming governor.
When nothing was certain, even if he wanted to tip off Lin Tailai, it would be difficult to do so.
So Shen Yongjia was thinking about going to attend the ceremony to welcome the governor. After the governor arrived, we would see what the situation was like.
If there is any sign, just say hello to Lin Tailai and ask him to run away quickly, so as not to implicate Wei Guangzheng himself!
Wei Lin, the current governor of Yingtian, who is remembered by many people in Suzhou City, is fifty-nine and a half years old this year, half a year shy of sixty. This age is very important.
According to the Ming Dynasty system, officials can take the initiative to "beg for their bones" and retire when they reach the age of sixty.
Of course, if you don’t want to retire, you can continue working. It’s entirely voluntary to stay or leave. The system does not force you to retire at an old age.
However, Governor Wei had no intention of continuing his official career. He was not in good health and his relationships with senior officials were not strong enough.
To be able to become the third-grade governor of Yingtian is already at the top of the seniority ladder, and there is absolutely no hope of further advancement.
So after half a year, when he reaches sixty, he retires to his hometown to live out his old life.
After working hard for the Ming Dynasty all your life, it’s not an exaggeration to make some extra money for retirement in the last six months, right?
