Chapter 1539 Will
It was noon and the streets were at its most lively. The bluestone streets with four carriages parallel seemed to be bustling with traffic, filled with the sound of vendors' hawking.
"Give it aside!"
Eunuch Li, wearing brocade clothes, took a few Jinyiwei into Yangzhou City. Facing the most lively Nanmen Street, his face showed a sense of arrogance, and immediately shouted impatiently at the crowded crowd in front of him.
Hearing this slightly sharp voice, and seeing the several Jinyiwei who were like wolves and tigers behind Eunuch Li, pedestrians and vehicles immediately chose to avoid it.
However, many people's eyes were quite sharp, and they had already noticed the abnormality of these people, but they were staring at the bright yellow imperial edict in Eunuch Li's hand.
Although not everyone can put eyeliners in the palace, and even the movements in the capital are unknown, it is blocking the gossip of the people and scholars. Many news has long been circulated in Yangzhou City, whether true or false.
As the court passed the general plan for the salt law, everyone knew that Lin Shiran's mission had been successfully completed, and it was a foregone conclusion that he was recalled to the capital.
That's why Lin Weiran's whereabouts have long been rampant, and has become the hottest topic in Yangzhou City at present.
Now seeing this father-in-law with a high-quality rank coming to Yangzhou City with an imperial edict, everyone naturally thought of the hottest topics this time, and guessing that Lin Weiran's whereabouts may be officially revealed today.
"Will this be the imperial edict of the imperial envoy?"
"I think this formation must be wrong!"
"Brother, let's go over and take a look together?"
...
The scholars from the people around him watched Eunuch Li swaying through the market so much that they could sniff the big news. Many people followed him up and planned to go to the Yanzhou Office of the Lianghuai Salt Inspection Office to check the situation.
But I don’t know if it was because the people and scholars in Yangzhou were too idle, or if they had always been so passionate about news, or if they just wanted to know where Lin Junran was going, there were hundreds of people who chose to follow him.
There is so much attention to the whereabouts of an official. Although there are gossip reasons, it may also prove that Lin Weiran has a high group foundation in Yangzhou.
Eunuch Li naturally ignored the movements of the people and scholars behind him, and rode the tall, red horse from Nanmen Street to Yuan Street, and then turned left and entered Fuxi Street.
Fuxi Street is an administrative street, and both levels of yamen in Yangzhou City are located here.
Many people have been staring at the whereabouts of Eunuch Li, and they can't help but worry that this time was a misunderstanding. This imperial edict was not aimed at the imperial envoy. When they saw Eunuch Li passing by the Yanzhou Office of the Lianghuai Inspection Office, their mood immediately fell to the bottom.
Fortunately, Eunuch Li just didn't have time to tie the dead rope. He did not step across the Tongsi Bridge, but turned over and dismounted at the Yamen of the Two Huaihe Salt Inspection Office next to Tongsi Bridge.
Eunuch Li seemed to have no hesitation, and held the bright yellow imperial edict and walked upstairs, leading several Jinyiwei directly into the gate of the Lianghuai Salt Inspection Institute.
"It should be the imperial edict of the imperial envoy!"
When many people saw this scene, their hearts immediately hung in their throats, and a bright smile appeared on their faces. There was already fresh gossip news about them.
Things are becoming clearer and clearer. This imperial edict came to the imperial envoy, Lin Xun, who was going to recall the imperial envoy back to the capital and entrust a new official position.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
While one foot crossed the threshold, Eunuch Li shouted in a unique voice inside.
Hearing these three intimidating words, it immediately attracted the strong attention of the officials of the Yan Censorate in the Huaihe River, and many officials ran out of their respective yamen offices.
However, when they saw Eunuch Li holding the imperial edict appear, they were not sure whether the imperial edict came for Lin Junran or Xu, the salt censor of the two Huaihuai.
When Xu Yu submitted a memorial to impeach Lin Weiran and went to Songjiang to suppress bandits to "use public notices", news came from the capital one after another, and Xu Yu, the salt censor of the two Huaihe Rivers, would serve as the right-level political sergeant in Shaanxi Province.
Although the right-sponsor was from a third-rank official position, for the censor of the Kedao, it was a change of rising and falling openly. If the rumors were true, Xu's career was already frozen in the local area, and it would be difficult for him to return to the capital in the future.
Xu Yu happened to go out to do something. He had just walked out of the government office and saw Eunuch Li walking in with an imperial edict in his hand, which made him look like a slut.
Time seemed to be frozen at this moment, but he soon sighed again. He knew that this imperial edict was not for him, and he would probably not escape the disaster next time. His career was ruined by that wrong judgment.
Eunuch Li held up the bright yellow imperial edict and walked on the corridor of the main courtyard, shouting loudly to the officials from various yamen offices: "Left Deputy Censor Lin Xuran received the imperial edict!"
"Oh my God! What an imperial edict from the imperial envoy!"
This slightly sharp voice was not loud, but it was penetrating. It immediately made the officials around him feel as if they heard the holy sound, and the imperial envoy's place was about to be officially announced.
Some officials quickly came to their senses, but they did not run to the back house of the yamen to inform them, but hurriedly rushed out of the yamen to grab the door.
Lin Mansion, the most prominent mansion in Yangzhou City.
With October coming, the autumn in Yangzhou City became stronger and more desolate in the courtyard. The flower gardens in the east have lost their color, and many flower branches are already in slump.
Not far from the flower garden, the flower hall of this house looked busy, and maids and accountants came with their books in hand, and then left one after another.
Hua Yingrong has never been a woman who is sad about spring and autumn. She is sitting upright in the flower hall, savoring the fragrant tea in her hand gracefully, and her beautiful eyes are focusing on the account book on the table, like a beautiful scenery.
Many women rely on close-fitting clothes or thin clothes to show their charm. However, the clothes she wore very thick today were dark blue suits on the outside. Although they only outlined a little curve, they were even more than millions of times better than other women who showed off their charm.
Her facial features are so delicate that she cannot be provocatively delicate, her skin is as white as cream, and her mouth is a faint smile, and her eyes look passionate and confident. Her slender hands are extremely well maintained, which is more beautiful than the white porcelain, and complements the exquisite teacup.
Today she was wearing a woman's headdress and decorated it with a string of gem chains. The top of her hairstyle pointed slightly to the right, and she looked so noble and feminine.
With the launch of salt indicative bills by United Money Bank, United Money Bank quickly solved the problem of funds, and directly resolved the pressure of the market's crazy selling of old indicatives.
United Money Bank paid high interest rates to the people. Although they sacrificed certain economic interests, United Money Bank received funds and also raised the price of old attractions, which made many people choose to "reluctant to sell".
It is precisely because of this that the United Money Bank began to get back on track. In addition to building a trading platform for salt induction, it was to lend the funds in place to the stove owners.
Hua Yingrong is an extremely qualified manager who handles the accounts of the United Money Bank in an orderly manner, and controls the entire United Money Bank through the maid she trains.
Lin Xuran had just met Cao Meng and others and was walking over from the study. When he saw Hua Yingrong who was focusing on handling affairs, a smile appeared on his face.
He liked Hua Yingrong's serious behavior, but he did not disturb her and sat down right next to her. Now, he has begun to grow his beard, and his eyes are getting deeper, giving people an impression that he is more mature than his actual age.
The maid Lan'er standing next to Hua Yingrong was no longer a wild girl from the former stove owner. She seemed to be more and more smart, and immediately brought tea cups to Lin Qingran in a regular manner.
Hua Yingrong noticed Lin Weiran's arrival, looked up at Lin Weiran but asked directly: "United Money Bank has now gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou. How should we develop next?"
"Don't be too hasty!" Lin Qingran picked up the teacup and immediately set the tone, and then explained seriously: "It is not a matter of building the credit of the United Money Bank, but it must be tested by time to truly win the trust of the people of Yangzhou Prefecture! And now the whereabouts of the husband are still unclear. When I return to the capital this time, I am afraid that I will fall into a fight again. I should be more low-key in the action of the United Money Bank, and do not take advantage of the problem!"
"What I know is certainly not irrelevant, nor will I let the Union Money House drag my husband down!" Hua Yingrong nodded seriously and made a promise.
She had known for a long time that in addition to being good at managing the business, the more important thing in the Ming Dynasty was the competition of political strength behind it. Now Lin Weiran's growth is more important than the development of the United Money House.
If Lin Xuran falls down, then the United Money House will inevitably be destroyed. Only when Lin Xuran stands on a high place can the United Money House truly stand up and have the opportunity to become the first money house in the Ming Dynasty.
That's why she always knew that United Money Bank wanted to help Lin Qingran, not that United Money Bank dragged Lin Qingran down.
Lin Weiran felt much more comfortable when he saw Hua Yingrong when he saw that he really wanted to help him. He took a sip of tea slowly and was about to talk about what would happen next in the United Money House, but he saw Lin Fu hurried over from the corridor.
Hua Yingrong's heart moved slightly, and she also looked up at Lin Fu.
Lin Fu came to the flower hall and immediately reported: "Uncle Nineteenth, the imperial edict has arrived!"
If the outside world only speculated that even if Lin Shiran took up a new position, then Lin Shiran had known about the movements in the capital, and even knew that he was very likely to serve as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Justice or the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
That's why over the years, he has made the final arrangements and quietly waited for this imperial edict from the court.
When Hua Yingrong heard the news, she looked at Lin Qingran with mixed joys and sorrows.
Lin Qingran put down the teacup and knew that what was coming was coming eventually. He asked lightly: "Where is the imperial edict?"
"Eunuch Li is now in the lobby of the Yanyamen in Lianghuai! " Lin Fu realized that something was missing and immediately replied hurriedly.
"Okay, let's go over!" Lin Qingran nodded softly and immediately ordered.
But at this moment, he was not sure whether Jiajing would choose to beat him or what kind of official position he would give him. Especially now the emperor is a very casual emperor, who can not only call Xia Yan back to serve as the chief minister, but also push Xia Yan out of the guillotine.
This emperor, who has always been moody, is even more casual about rewards and punishments.
However, he knew that this time the reorganization of the Salt Administration was a contribution, and he also helped the Ming Dynasty finances in time. Even if Jiajing wanted to suppress him, he would at least give him the position of the Right Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
"My husband, this is the official fortune talisman I asked for from Guanyin. Take it with you!" Hua Yingrong sorted out Lin Xuran's clothes, and at the same time handed over a talisman and said seriously.
Lin Xuran didn't believe these things at first, but he didn't have any confidence in his heart at this moment. In addition, seeing the sincerity in Hua Yingrong's eyes, he reached out to take the talisman and nodded, "Okay, I hope it can bring good luck to my husband!"
The two Huaihei patrols the Yanzhou Prefectures, the incense case in the hall was ready, and the officials in the yamen were already standing in the yard in a regular manner.
As Lin Xuran arrived, the eyes of the officials seemed eager, and Eunuch Li even took the initiative to call Lin Xuran and said, "I have met Lord Lin!"
"It turns out that Eunuch Li is here, I'm in trouble this time!" Lin Qingran has also received several imperial edicts recently. He has been with this Eunuch Li for several times, and he responded politely.
Eunuch Li was in Nanjing Preparation Capital and had no arrogant capital at all. At this time, he responded with a flattering response: "I dare not! It is a blessing for our family to be able to do this job for Lord Lin!"
Lin Qingran knew that this was the previous silver liang that had some effect, and his status was also qualified to make the other party take the initiative to curry favor with him, so he no longer nodded politely.
Xu Yu, the Yan Censor of the Two Huaihe Rivers, looked at Lin Weiran with complicated eyes, but his heart was mixed. The former Shuntian Prefecture Chief was about to take another step and become the noble minister of the Six Ministers.
Eunuch Li stood in front of the incense table holding the bright yellow imperial edict, and reminded gently: "Mr. Lin, please accept the edict!"
"I, the left deputy chief censor of the Censorate, received the order, long live my emperor!" Lin Qingran stood in front of the incense burner and performed a ritual of kneeling and worshiping the bright yellow imperial edict.
When the officials behind him saw Lin Weiran like this, they respectfully knelt down with Lin Weiran to welcome the imperial edict from the capital. At the same time, they also wanted to know the specific content of this imperial edict. Was Lin Weiran the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice or the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue?
Eunuch Li's face became serious, and he slowly unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict and his eyes fell on the content of the imperial edict. He first recited it silently, then looked up at the gang of officials in front of him and started reading it in his unique voice.
