After laughing, he added: "Actually, Chu Fan should be fine now. After all, this King of Chu has reached his thirtieth year. He has grown up and is in good health. It doesn't look like he will die young."
In the past, the Chu vassal had a lot of troubles, mainly because in the past few decades, most of the time, the king of Chu was young and weak, and the clan completely lacked control, which was similar to a big family without a patriarch.
Now that the King of Chu has grown up, as long as he re-establishes the prestige of the clan leader, the chaos should be reduced.
At this time, Lin Tailai smiled instead and said cryptically: "The King of Chu's adulthood is not the end, but the beginning."
Where are we now? You all thought the farce was over? In fact, the real fun of Chu Fan is about to begin!
Anyone familiar with history knows that there were three major cases in the Ming Palace in the late Ming Dynasty. In fact, in the middle of Wanli, the Chu vassal also had a vassal version of the three major cases, each of which was more interesting than the last.
The core element of the three major cases of Chu and Fan is centered around the family property of the fat sheep King Chu, which fully illustrates what it means that people die for money and birds die for food.
There was also a governor who was ordered to interrogate the clan members during the three major cases of the Chu vassal dynasty, but was booed and beaten to death by a group of clan members.
If the Ming Dynasty clan had one stone, eight of them were in the Chu vassal. In the middle of Wanli period, working as an official in Hubei, especially Wuchang, would never be lonely.
After chatting more and becoming more familiar with each other, Shi Lun became bolder and asked, "Why did Duke Jiuyuan say that? Is there anything wrong with Chu Fan?"
When it doesn't matter, Lin Tailai doesn't mind showing off his "prejudgment ability."
This is also a kind of character-building technique. When others see that their predictions have been successful many times, they will naturally become convinced of themselves when they encounter things.
So Lin Tailai prophesied: "The king of Chu has been weak for decades, and the clan has not been restrained for a long time, and the unruly and disobedient has been deeply rooted. If the branches are strong and the branches are weak, how can there be no chaos?"
And another key point is that the King of Chu was too wealthy, and the other clans had a difficult life. The gap was too big, and they worried not about scarcity but about inequality.
You see, the civil strife in the Chu vassal will only become more and more intense, and the clan and the king of Chu will become like enemies. As for when it will calm down, only God knows."
Believe it or not, Shi Lun could only say "Jiu Yuan Gong has great respect" at this time!
We go all the way, turn into the river at Hankou, and arrive at the pier outside Hanyang Gate of Wuchang City.
At this time, Wuchang City had nine gates, each with different main features.
Hanyang Gate faces the river and is the west main gate and the most important city gate.
Distinguished guests boarding and disembarking and entering the city all go through Hanyang Gate, and the famous Yellow Crane Tower is right next to Hanyang Gate.
When the boat stopped at the pier and was about to go ashore, Shi Lun, a half-landowner, glanced at the shore and asked Lin Tailai strangely: "Has Jiuyuan Gong notified others?"
Lin Tailai replied: "As long as you are the official official, no one else has been informed. But I have some personal relations with the Yuan family in Jingzhou, so I informed them."
Shi Lun suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were a large number of half-Confucian and half-business people on the shore.
The Yuan family is currently the largest grain merchant in Hubei. Its strength does not only refer to its scale, but also its ability to trade over large distances and across regions.
The Yuan family can steadily transport tens of thousands of shi or even 100,000 shi of grain to Suzhou every year. This ability is not possessed by other grain merchants of the same scale.
Business spanning thousands of miles is completely different from business in this region.
Now Shi Lun understood why the Yuan family could safely transport large quantities of grain to Suzhou for sale.
After landing on the shore, Lin Tailai said to Shi Lun: "I won't bother you tonight. I will meet with the Yuan family first."
Shi Lun was a little surprised: "Ah, this..."
Lin Tailai said: "Don't worry, it will be the same tomorrow."
Then Lin Tailai turned to the Yuan family, and Shi Lun quickly said: "No matter what, we have to send Mr. Jiu Yuan to his residence."
An elderly scribe from the Yuan family had already come up to him and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Yuan Shiyu, has admired Lord Jiuyuan for a long time, and today I finally get to pay my respects!
Quanzi has been taking photos of Jiuyuan PR for several years, and I am always grateful!"
Lin Tailai sighed: "My son, Yuan Hongdao, is good at everything. He is excellent in literature and has a good character. However, he is too negative in life and always wants to retreat bravely.
He has been promoted to Suzhou Prefecture to manage grain and general affairs, and is still thinking about how to resign and return to the mountains."
Yuan Shiyu replied: "I already admonished him again last month! Tell him to be an official in Suzhou with peace of mind, otherwise the family will have no place for him!"
Lin Tailai nodded with satisfaction: "Now Suzhou has changed its governor again. It needs stability, and your son must not leave."
