The project had just been finalized and handed over to the two engineering teams led by eldest brother Lin Shilai. Before Lin Shilai could take a breath, something happened again.
In compliance with the cooperation agreement, Yuanjia Grain Company in Jingzhou, Huguang, quickly transported a large amount of rice to Suzhou City after the autumn harvest. The first batch amounted to 5,000 dan, using more than 20 large ships.
However, the two parties have been arguing over the transaction price for a long time.
Official Lin's price was 500,000 jins of salt for 10,000 shi of rice, while Yuan's Grain Store asked for 1 million jins of salt.
At the end of the day, a deal was reached at a price of 700,000 kilograms of salt in exchange for 10,000 shi of rice.
In the midst of 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 junior school and senior school. For the time being, only the junior school is open.
At the same time, it is divided into short class and long class. Those over fifteen years old enter the short class, and those between ten and fifteen years old enter the long class.
Lin Daguan only looked at the curriculum and said dissatisfiedly: "The literature class only teaches hundreds of surnames and the Thousand-Character Classic?"
Gao Changjiang said doubtfully: "Zi Guan said that we only need to teach literacy, and there is no need to learn the Four Books and Five Classics."
Official Lin instructed: "It's not enough to learn hundreds of surnames and a thousand-character script, which will result in you only knowing how to read but not using them.
So I compiled my poems into a collection of poems and used them as advanced compulsory textbooks for literature classes!"
Gao Changjiang: "."
Do you want to compile a collection of your shocking remarks and use them as teaching materials?
In the busy life of Lin Daguan, the time has come to the end of the fourteenth year of Wanli.
Mr. Lin 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 definitely bring about short-term chaos. Now is the peak period of community affairs, so it is indeed not suitable for restructuring.
Before the government closed the government offices for the Chinese New Year, Official Lin went to the Procuratorate to visit Governor Zhao and asked: "How is the payment of local money and grain in Jiangnan this year?"
Governor Zhao replied with joy: "Ninety percent!"
Anyone who is familiar with the rules of officialdom understands what this means, so Mr. Lin fell silent.
Seventy percentile means no punishment, eighty percentile means passing, and nine percentile means outstanding.
Seeing that Lin Tailai didn't seem to be interested, Governor Zhao asked in surprise: "What? Are you unhappy?"
Lin Daguan sighed: "The tax resistance was put down last year, and the payment rate this year is as high as 90%. His political performance has been extremely outstanding for two consecutive years. It seems that the old man will definitely be promoted to the ministry after the spring of next year.
As for me, who lives in Suzhou, of course I hope that the old gentleman will continue to be the governor, and I don’t want to see you leave, old gentleman."
Governor Zhao is the Lin Group's most direct and powerful protective umbrella in the Jiangnan region. His departure is a major loss to the Lin Group.
Zhao Zhigao smiled and said: "It's not as exaggerated as you think? No matter who becomes the governor, can it still sway you?"
Official Lin shook his head, "I can conclude now that the next governor will definitely not be kind to me."
Zhao Zhigao, who was familiar with the rules of officialdom, did not ask why. Of course he understood the reason.
In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, avoidance of suspicion and checks and balances were ubiquitous.
For the governor of Yingtian who has jurisdiction over the chief minister's hometown, it is impossible for the chief minister to propose a candidate, and he cannot even appoint anyone who is related to the chief minister.
Those hostile forces will definitely keep a close eye on this candidate and hope that the chief minister will get a handle on this issue.
With Shen Shoufu's character of not showing any flaws, he will not be tough on this issue.
As for why Zhao Zhigao was appointed governor of Yingtian before, it was Lin Tailai who recommended him through Hai Rui, and he had nothing to do with Shen Shoufu at the time.
In other words, Zhao Zhigao first became the governor of Yingtian and then took refuge with Shen Shoufu; instead of first taking refuge with Shen Shoufu and then becoming the governor of Yingtian.
Zhao Zhigao couldn't help but joked: "It's just a new governor, how can you be afraid? The person who is afraid must be the new governor, right?"
Lin Daguan said quietly: "Last year, Governor Wei of Yingtian fell into my hands and was dismissed from office; this year, Governor Yang of Fengyang also fell into my hands and was deprived of the governor's assignment.
If another ungrateful governor falls into my hands next year, it will be the third time in three years that I will bring down Jiangzuo’s frontier officials!
At that time, what will the court think of me? What will the emperor think of me?
Wouldn’t I just be the only one showing off in the forest? Will I be regarded as a troublemaker?”
Zhao Zhigao: "."
What does it mean that the wood is beautiful and you are the only one in the forest? If you think about it carefully, what Lin Tailai said seems to make sense?
It can only be said that Lin Tailai's troubles are so fresh and refined, and different from others.
Then Zhao Zhigao spoke again: "After listening to your words, I suddenly felt something.
Now that you have a son and have a family, it's time to give you a name, otherwise it won't be easy for others to call you.
As a senior, I will give you a font name, how about the word "Duxiu"? It means "Muxiu Yulin". And Lin is your last name, so it is related."
Lin Daguanren: "."
Lin Tailai, whose courtesy name is Duxiu? His nickname is Jinbu?
It’s the end of the month, please warm up with your monthly ticket first!!!
