When he said this, Jiuyuan Zhenxian suddenly noticed something, turned around, and said to Xu Xianqing, who had a dark face:
"Old Xu! Why do you, the Textile Industry Office entrenched in the east of the city, go against the trend and suppress the calls of Pingjiang Road industrial and commercial households to establish a municipal management office?
We are all from the Hanlin family, how can you be so shameless? At worst, the territory of Pingjiang Road is divided into 30 and 70, you and I are 70%!"
Zhu Geng: "."
Is this a club member who talks about grabbing territory? Is he really the number one scholar in the imperial court, a minister in the Hanlin Academy, a young minister in Taichang Temple, and a doctor in the three divisions?
Xu Xianqing ignored the negotiation on community affairs initiated by Lin Tailai, pointed at Mr. Zhu Ge, and made an introduction in a somewhat irritable mood.
This was also the first time that Lin Daguan met Zhu Geng. During the years when he was causing trouble in the court, Zhu Geng had always been in his hometown, so he had never interacted with him.
Mr. Zhu Ge had no airs and said to Mr. Lin: "I have been away from the court these years and am very unfamiliar with the current situation. If Lin Jiuyuan has some leisure time, I hope he will give me some advice."
Lin Tailai was a little surprised and asked tentatively: "Senior Zhao, the current chief assistant, is a fellow countryman of yours. It is enough to have his guidance."
Zhu Geng replied: "Brother Zhao wrote a letter saying, don't miss the opportunity to pass by and communicate more with Lin Jiuyuan, you will definitely benefit a lot."
When smart people heard this, they would guess why Wang Xijue recommended Zhu Geng.
It is estimated that Wang Xijue made a deal with his chief assistant Zhao Zhigao and recommended Zhu Geng on Zhao Zhigao's behalf.
Lin Tailai was even more surprised. Zhu Geng had already joined the cabinet, so why did he need to find him?
But after a little guessing, I came up with a direction. Does Zhu Geng want to be the second assistant?
At this time, a government official suddenly greeted him loudly: "Here we come! Here we come!"
Everyone stopped talking and all faced the river, looking to the north.
When Shen Shixing appeared on the bow deck, huge cheers erupted from both sides of the river to welcome the chief minister home after being away from his hometown for decades.
Official Lin kept wondering why the old chief minister looked so radiant compared to last year.
Freed from the shackles, the unofficial and light-weight Shen Shixing disembarked from the boat and landed quickly, frowning at Lin Tailai and saying:
"Why are you still in Suzhou? How can a young man be content with contentment rather than making progress? When you reach my age, you can retire to enjoy the pleasures of forests and springs!"
Lin Daguan replied lazily: "I'm homesick as a wanderer. Why don't you stay at home for a few more months?"
Shen Shixing pointed to the north and said: "I have retreated, but your career is still over there. Aren't you afraid that if you are absent from the government for a long time, you will make mistakes?"
Lin Tailai still said indifferently: "No hurry, no rush! As the saying goes, rushing is not a business. I am waiting for the court to beg me to go back."
Everyone did not dare to disturb the conversation between the old chief assistant and Lin Daguan, but they were all speechless after hearing this.
What does it mean that the court is begging you to go back? What can happen that would make the court beg you?
Shen Shoufu asked again: "How many gardens have you built over the years?"
Lin Tailai answered truthfully: "I haven't done much repairs. I mainly buy ready-made ones so that the old timers can live wherever they want."
Second Master Shen, who was silent beside him: "."
Who is your biological son? I'm standing here, dad, can't you see?
Shen Shixing looked past the second generation of the Shen family and looked at the third generation of the Shen family who had grown up over the years with kind eyes.
"Which one is married to the Lin family?" Shen Shixing asked his son Shen Yongjia.
Shen Yongjia, who finally spoke to his father, pointed to a five or six-year-old daughter, and Shen Shixing picked up the granddaughter.
Then he smiled at everyone and said, "I can finally enjoy the fun of entertaining my grandchildren."
In the eyes of everyone, this series of words and deeds seemed as if Shen Shixing had passed on his position as the leader of the Suzhou Gang to Lin Jiuyuan.
After the grand ceremony on the shore, Shen Shixing returned to the boat and continued to move slowly along the river.
Ge Lao Zhu Geng and Lin Tailai both got on the boat and accompanied Shen Shixing into the city.
"He wants to be the second assistant." Lin Tailai pointed at Zhu Geng and said to Shen Shixing, "The Zhang position you recommend should be placed at the back. Zhang's personality is a bit headstrong and is not suitable for being too prominent."
Zhu Geng: "."
Is this how you, Lin Jiuyuan, always talk to the old chief minister? It seems that not visiting you is not treating yourself lightly.
