Chapter 733 Marketplace
The basis of Ming Dynasty politics was clan autonomy, but clans often seemed selfish and had the act of embezzling individual property in the name of the public, and personal property could not be effectively protected.
Especially when a clan member who has no son to inherit family property dies, the clan will occupy the property he has left behind. The experience of the Huang family mother and daughter is not an isolated case.
Lin Ran made such a clear statement in the lobby that he regarded this "eating family" as illegal, which undoubtedly meant to stand opposite to the clan and support more "Huang mother and daughter" to come to the government office to seek justice.
At this point, we have to admit that he is indeed very courageous.
Lin Ran, who is good at seeking profit and avoiding harm, naturally understood that he would offend many people, but he understood even more: In addition to promoting economic development, a region also needs to improve its system.
This criterion was implemented in Leizhou Prefecture as early as possible. Now that he has arrived at Guangzhou Prefecture, he is not afraid of resistance and still chooses to firmly promote and implement it.
Even though there are many obstacles, it is necessary to implement this matter if Guangzhou City becomes the largest economic center in the Ming Dynasty and become a new growth point in the Ming Dynasty's economy.
Of course, he did this now, naturally considering the gains and losses. After all, in his next plan, the allies he needed were those courageous and courageous merchants, rather than these foolish and greedy gentry and rich people.
His statement was that he offended the clan gentry, but he would win the support of merchants. This is the real reason why he chose to take action on this case.
"It's true that it's Lin Lei Gong!"
Many people previously thought that Lin Ran was too ill for surgery on Huang Sangui. But now, looking at Lin Ran’s blade, he has to admire his extraordinary courage. He really dared not do anything in the world.
Once the news came out, it was shocking and also caused a widespread debate.
Some support Lin Ran's view of "protecting personal property", but some oppose Lin Ran's remarks, saying that Lin Ran clearly wants to lose his business by taking advantage of the property lawsuit.
The squire is indeed very powerful. This statement actually has a large market, which discredits Lin Ran into a greedy person and even puts some pressure on Lin Ran.
If the Huang Sangui's case of selling young girls won the sympathy of most people, and if Lin Ran had not won the praise of Guangdong people in the disaster relief last year, Lin Ran would have been under greater pressure.
The trial only took one day, and it was a day of rest.
"Brother, hurry up!"
Hu Niu, wearing a light green chest-lengthed Confucian skirt, ran out of the government office like a pony that had run away from reins, looked back at Lin Ran, and immediately frowned and urged with a crisp voice.
"Here you come!"
Lin Ran was dressed as a scholar, holding a fan in his hand, and slowly responded from behind.
I have been busy with official duties these days, and even Hu Niu is busy with him. It is rare that today is a holiday, so he decided to take this wild girl to the city and relax.
Although he was already the new owner of Guangzhou City, he was still very unfamiliar with Guangzhou City because he passed by several times and took office this time.
The two siblings got into the tall carriage together, and the carriage slowly drove to the east. When they reached the intersection, they turned right into Chengxuan Street, Zhongxun Street, and then headed towards the south gate.
Unlike Leizhou City, the most lively thing in Guangzhou City is the South Gate. Whether it is a business traveler, scholar, or a variety of goods, too many of them will choose to land from the Pearl River Wharf in front of the South Gate.
Since it was already morning, the section of the waiting street near the South Gate seemed very lively and crowded, with carriages, sedan chairs, donkey carts and other means of transportation, which can be seen at any time.
This place is not only from Guangdong, but also from Jiangxi, Huguang, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places.
As the maritime ban policy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang became stricter, "widening" became a new form for the shrewd Ming merchants to make profits, and they transported a large amount of goods to Haojing in Guangdong for sale.
After passing the crowded street, the carriage stopped.
Hu Niu said "arrived", so she took the lead in pulling the horse curtain and jumping off the carriage. Lin Ran then got off the carriage. But he stood still at the intersection, but his brows frowned slightly.
This long and messy street is right next to the city wall, with large stalls composed of pergola stoves, tables and chairs on both sides, forming a Nanmen catering street.
There are too many pedestrians on the street, men in short shirts, farmers in simple clothes, and ordinary women in simple clothes. They are all places for people in the lower class to eat, so there is no need to expect anything in terms of hygiene.
However, seeing Hu Niu walking in front of her excitedly, Lin Ran also sighed lightly and followed the wild girl helplessly. He, the prefect who should have been aloof, was abducted by Hu Niu to the lower class.
Wang! Wang! Wang! Wang!
Many shops have large cages, with yellow or black local dogs, with white fangs exposed. Whenever someone passes through the street, they will bark desperately, or even hit the cage forward, making them extremely droughty and uneasy.
The diners here are mainly lever or sailors from the dock. Since these groups have to put in a lot of effort every day, their digestive ability is stronger than that of ordinary people, so there is a great demand for meat and wine.
However, meat also has a distinction between high and low price. There will definitely be no venison shops, and there are even fewer mutton. The food stalls here are mainly dog meat, fish meat, peony meat, etc.
Lin Ran followed Hu Niu behind him, facing the evil dog that was barking wildly, but he felt a little nervous, for fear that a certain evil dog would rush out to bite him.
"Brother, please keep up!"
Hu Niu seemed very familiar with this place. She followed Ali carelessly and walked in front of her. She looked back at the slow Lin Ran, and immediately waved and shouted in distress.
Not long after, I soon arrived at the place Hu Niu mentioned, which was a food stall mainly for frogs.
"Boss, give us a large plate of three pounds of frogs!"
After Hu Niu walked out inside, she immediately said in a crisp voice.
"Okay! The frog will be fine soon!" A woman who was stir-frying frogs in front of the stove was busy and responding, but shouted in it: "Zhang Jun, why are you lazy? Come out and greet the guests!"
Lin Ran followed him out of the store, but chose to sit down at the table in the corner. While waiting for the dishes, he looked at the environment here at the same time, but saw a few men playing and drinking there, presenting a strong market wind.
