The county government gate has reopened.

The Zhang family was surprised for a moment, but when faced with the shrunken magistrate Shi who poked his head out again, they were ready to denounce the magistrate as if they had been given a shot of blood.

"stop!"

Butler Zhang had a piece of paper in his hand, but he stopped the Zhang family's denunciation and looked at Shi Zhixian and others who came out with a serious expression.

Shi Zhixian led all the officials to file out. He first scanned the crowd slowly, then turned his attention to Butler Zhang and said, "Butler Zhang, this county is asking you again. Are you determined to besiege the county government office, or are you leaving now on your own?"

go?"

"What a joke, why did we leave!"

"Gouzhi County, please give our Zhang family justice!"

"We won't leave until that person is punished!"

…

When the Zhang family heard that Magistrate Shi was so powerful, they immediately denounced it.

Cao Xian Cheng looked at this scene and sighed secretly in his heart. Zhang's family really regarded Taixing as theirs.

"Quiet first!"

Butler Zhang knew that the situation had changed and immediately stopped him.

The Zhang family members exchanged glances and finally gave Butler Zhang face.

"Shi Zhixian, do you really want to have such trouble with our Zhang family?" Butler Zhang questioned.

Shi Zhixian knew that these people still did not take him seriously, so he said calmly: "I am a dignified official of the court! If you are not satisfied, you can go to Yangzhou Mansion to complain, or you can go to Yingtian Governor to file a complaint, but if

If we continue to block the county government, the county will have no choice but to report it to the imperial court!"

this……

The Zhang family couldn't help but be stunned when they saw how stubborn Shi Zhixian was.

Cao Xian Cheng had already experienced Shi Zhixian's toughness, but he didn't want Shi Zhixian, who suddenly changed his mind, to bring the matter to Yangzhou Prefecture, so he stood up and said: "Shi Zhixian has already explained what he said, you should go back!"

"Okay, this matter is not over yet, just wait for the court to hold you accountable!" Butler Zhang said harshly and chose to take the people away.

Their original intention was to put pressure on Shi Zhixian, but now that Shi Zhixian was so stubborn, what else could they do. They could only give up this method, go back and make long-term plans, and maybe take the matter to Yangzhou Prefecture or Nanjing.

A small county magistrate with no backing, and they still have the leverage in their hands, so it is very easy to find out this person.

"Brother Tinglun, let's go back!"

Watching Butler Zhang lead the people away, he was thinking about Lin Haoran in the back garden and said to Meng Zhao.

"Okay, please!"

Meng Zhao watched a good show and raised his hands with satisfaction.

"Together, please!"

Shi Zhixian intended to cling to Lin Haoran, so naturally he would not let go of the people around him, so he said enthusiastically again.

It was obviously the first time that the two met, but to outsiders, they seemed to be very close. They watched the two of them walking towards the back house together.

"Who is this person?"

Cao Zhixian and other officials looked at the two disappeared people and looked extremely puzzled.

Huang Zhubo knew the reason. Shi Zhixian naturally went for that high-ranking figure, but it was impossible for him to reveal the truth.

Looking at Zhang Jiaoyu's questioning look at him, he said deliberately vaguely: "There is a saying: there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. In fact, we are all a bunch of frogs in the well!"

Zhang Jiaoyu and Chen Jiaoyu immediately looked at each other. It was really not easy to guess the identity of the judge.

Taixing County is not big, and the news here quickly spread throughout the county. Many people were surprised by the power of Shizhi County, and began to re-examine this magistrate with a weak sense of existence.

The appearance of Lin Haoran is destined to stir up some waves.

The ten-mile-long street is lined with markets, and you can watch the gods on the Yueming Bridge.

Life is only suitable for death in Yangzhou, where the Zen wisdom mountain is bright and the tomb field is beautiful.

Yangzhou City is a place that has fascinated countless literati throughout the ages. In addition to the poem by Zhang Hu of the Tang Dynasty, there are also Du Mu's "Yangzhou Dream in Ten Years", Li Bai's "Fireworks Falling in Yangzhou in March", etc.

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, this spiritual pursuit is usually based on material abundance.

Yangzhou is uniquely endowed. It is located at the center of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and is adjacent to the Yangtze River. Along the Yangtze River it directly enters the East China Sea. It can be said to be a transportation fortress.

Because it is located in a plain, with fertile land and rich water resources, it has always been an important grain-producing area in China. Local people boil the sea to make salt. Because Huaiyan salt has the best quality, it is the most important salt production base in China.

Especially during the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou merchants gathered and trade flourished. It was one of the four major commercial ports in the East together with Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Jiaozhou. Ships at that time sailed from Yangzhou Port and could reach Japan in the east, Southeast Asia in the south, and Western Asia in the west.

etc.

After the changes of the times, Yangzhou Prefecture is still prosperous today.

The old city of Yangzhou was rebuilt in the late Yuan Dynasty. It was only the southwest corner of the big city of Yangzhou in the Song Dynasty. Haining Gate, Tongsi Gate, Anjiang Gate, Zhenhuai Gate and Xiaodong Gate were opened.

As the Japanese invasion problem worsened during the Jiajing Dynasty, and the business in Yangzhou City returned to its former prosperity, Wu Chunfang, then the governor of Yangzhou, petitioned. In the 35th year of Jiajing's reign, the imperial court began to build a new city, which was finally completed a few years ago.

The gates of the new city and the old city are connected. The reason why the new city is not called the outer city is because whether it is Leizhou outer city, Guangzhou outer city or Beijing outer city, part of the area is expanded to the south, while Yangzhou new city is fully expanded to the east.

So much.

Just like this, Yangzhou City now has a clear distinction between old and new. The streets in the old city are straight and square, while the streets in the new city are curved and irregular. The old city is a residential area for gentry, and the new city is a residential area for salt merchants.

Although there are many wealthy merchants of all kinds in the city, and Yangzhou silk is also sold well at home and abroad, the salt merchants are still the most prosperous. Not only the local salt merchants, but also two large salt merchant groups in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanxi.

The transfer envoys of both cities are located in Yangzhou City. This is a profitable place where there will be battles. As Huaiyan is such a huge cake, it is inevitable that there will be some differences.

Although Shanxi merchants took advantage of the favorable geographical location to seize the first pot of gold from Huaiyan during the opening of Sino-France, now Jiangsu and Zhejiang salt merchants are also catching up, and both parties jointly dominate this big cake.

With the arrival of the Di newspaper, people from all sides were panicked.

Although they restored the old practice of Huaiyan through their chief minister Xu Jie last year, the imperial court came back again and insisted on taking another piece of the cake.

What makes them even more uneasy is that unlike last year's left deputy censor Dong Wei, the newly appointed left deputy censor Lin Haoran is obviously not a good person.

Whether it is Lin Haoran's future, his history as a reformist pioneer, or his background in the capital, he has completely surpassed Dong Wei, and is even on par with the former Yan Maoqing.

The same is true. It is impossible for them to send Lin Haoran away as easily as they did last year. They even have to be mentally prepared to take away one million taels for the court like last year.
