Chapter 715
From Changlin Village to Guangzhou City, the two are hundreds of kilometers apart. For the current transportation conditions, this is undoubtedly a very long journey, especially Lin Weiran chose to take the land.
Passing through Nangongling next to the post road south of Gaozhou City, Lin Qingran arrived at the Fulong Temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty, and donated a lot of money for incense, but he failed to see Nie Yunzhu.
Everyone has a different temperament, and Kyou has already put Nie Yunzhu under great pressure on speech. When her father also died, Nie Yunzhu, who is known as the broom star, chose to escape into a monk.
"Donor, can you leave your name?" The master was a very kind old lady, and said with one hand.
Lin Qingran stood in the yard, first looked up at the attic, and felt a vague feeling that someone was looking at the place above, then sighed and said to the master: "Lin Qingran!"
"It turns out that Lord Lin is here. Please forgive me for neglecting me!" The old nun said in awe of awe and said in a calm voice.
Lin Qingran did not show off his intention and replied gently: "I just heard the Master's lecture, and his words were very concise. The Master is a man who has attained enlightenment and has received teachings!"
Most people are probably going to float up when Lin Junran praises this way. However, the old nun who is holding this temple can maintain peace and speak extraordinaryly, but they have some real skills.
In the attic, Nie Yunzhu, who had already cut his hair into a nie, was wearing a plain white robe, looking at the figure leaving through the pavilion window, and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
All the past suddenly surged into my heart, but it was like a dream.
The old nun went to the attic and looked at Nie Yunzhu's figure that seemed silent. She sighed and said, "Jingyue, if you can't stop love, then let him go!"
"No, the love for the disciple is over!" Nie Yunzhu did not have the courage to catch up, nor did she want to drag Yu Lin Qianran down. She just turned her head and looked at the master with tears in her eyes.
The old nun sighed softly, but her mood was complicated. On the one hand, she hoped that lovers would finally get married, but on the other hand, she hoped that Nie Yunzhu, who was very smart, could stay and inherit her mantle.
There is only one post road from western Guangdong to Guangzhou Prefecture. The post road in Lianzhou Prefecture and Leizhou Prefecture pass through Gaozhou Prefecture at the same time. Then the post road passes through Zhaoqing Prefecture in a wave-like manner from Gaozhou Prefecture, and then enters the boundary of Guangzhou Prefecture.
Lin Dabiao led twenty of the most capable Changlin family members to escort Lin Yanran to the post and arranged for some tribe members to stand in front, which not only ensures safety, but also follows Lin Yanran's instructions not to be too high-profile.
On that day, we arrived at Xipingyi in Longshui County, which was later the territory of Luodingzhou, and the sky was already dark.
Lin Weiran did not like this way of rushing on a carriage, especially the post road was very bumpy, which made him have a very bad appetite and some regrets that he did not choose to take the sea route to his post.
It was finally time to get to the post station, but the carriage stopped but there was no movement for a long time. Soon Tiezhu came back and reported: "Sir, there was a dispute at the door. It seemed that someone was blocking the way at the gate!"
"What happened? Let's take a look!" Hu Niu is a very fond of being lively. She immediately crawled out with great enthusiasm, and suddenly turned around and invited him, "Brother, are you going?"
"Go!" Lin Weiran had a completely different temperament after Hu Niu, but the carriage was so boring that he chose to go with Hu Niu. He was undoubtedly "brutally taken away" by Hu Niu, the wild girl.
Xiping Post is a very large-scale post station, which is arranged in the front yard and the back house. It was just that a group of people gathered in front of the gate of the yard. Because there were no lanterns hanging, the surroundings seemed dim.
Hu Niu hurriedly walked in front, while Lin Qiran slowly walked behind. But he saw four grand and open black carriages parked in front of the door, calling in front of the servants and two beautiful maids, all of which showed the car.
A person is not noble, he will be rich.
At the gate of the courtyard, a fat man who looked like a housekeeper seemed to have lost his patience and shouted loudly at the little old man who was blocking the door: "Get aside and don't get my son in the middle of the door!"
"You still have any reason? Shouldn't you apologize when you hit me like this?" The little old man in a coarse cotton coat blew his forehead and held a donkey with injured legs in his hand, and accused him angrily, looking angry.
.
The butler pointed at the silver on the ground with a arrogant look and said impatiently: "Didn't my son compensate you for the money? Why are you still so treacherous? What do you want?"
"I said it a long time ago! You still owe me apologies!" The old man asked for a tit-for-tat and said with confidence.
When Lin Weiran saw this, he guessed why the situation was in a stalemate.
This rich and noble young man ran into a horse and hit someone, but he just wanted to throw a ingot of silver to finish the matter. He was a living second-generation ancestor style. But this stubborn old man refused and insisted on apologizing.
But at this moment, a young man seemed impatient to hear the car and said, "Chunju, kowtow to this old man! If he refuses to give in, you can't stop, do you know?"
At the end of the conversation, the tone clearly revealed a hint of badness.
"yes!"
The beautiful maid named Chunju looked pale. She first saluted to the carriage, then knelt down and kowtowed in front of the little old man, "You little woman will accompany you, please give me some advice!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
He kowtowed three times in succession on the blue brick road. The white and tender forehead was yelling on an uneven blue brick, and a red seal appeared immediately. It was obvious that the force was not light.
Lin Weiran frowned slightly, and when Hu Niu was about to rush forward, he pulled this little girl with a sense of justice.
People's hearts are full of flesh. Although the old man became even more angry, he chose to compromise and said, "Little girl, don't knock!" As he said that, he accused the young master sitting in the carriage and said, "This method is simply
despicable!"
But the housekeeper smiled slightly and said contemptuously to the old man: "You are all provoking this, please give in!"
The old man snorted heavily, took out a piece of letter from his arms and said to the Yicheng, "This is my responsibilities!"
Huh?
The housekeeper was stunned, but he didn't expect that the little old man in a torn cotton coat was actually an official.
The postmaster took over the official and, because the light was dim, he almost got the paper close to the tip of his nose. After checking the security guards and the seal of the Ministry of Personnel, he checked the contents of the letter and bowed respectfully: "It turns out that it was."
He is the newly appointed magistrate of Dianbai County, Lord Yang Junzheng, who is disrespectful!”
Huh?
Lin Weiran became a little interested in the new Dianbai Magistrate, so he looked at it more with interest.
Since Liu Qiyu, the former magistrate of Dianbai County, was promoted to Tongzhi of Leizhou Prefecture, the original magistrate Zhang's qualifications were obviously insufficient, so the position of magistrate was vacant. However, unexpectedly, the Ministry of Personnel sent this very principled old man to fill the vacant.
.
I thought this matter was about to come to an end, but I didn't expect the turmoil to arise again.
After Yang Magistrate took back the official's reunion, he did not come inside by the invitation of the postmaster, but turned around and asked loudly at the butler: "This is an official post. Only the court officials can come in with the official's reunion!
What official position is your son? Where is the official in harmony? If not, you can't come in!"
you……
Anger flashed across the butler's face immediately, and he felt like he was teased by this little seventh-rank magistrate.
Why!
Lin Weiran shook his head helplessly. The problems of the Ming Dynasty were unknown, and this station was one of the major disadvantages.
The biggest beneficiary of the station is undoubtedly officials at all levels. With the continuous upgrading of the station's hardware, the station has become a luxurious official guesthouse and a huge gold-swalking beast.
When the Jiajing Dynasty arrived, the post station not only served officials at all levels, but also served the officials' relatives, and even the insiders of the post station, which benefited from it.
The emergence of this situation where everyone gains benefits naturally led to the burden on the local people increasing. The court even allocated more than 100,000 taels of silver every year to inherit the operation of this station system.
The same is true. When the imperial court could not pay official salaries the year before, the imperial court decided to withdraw 30% to 50% of the post stations across the country, and half of the food saved was used as military expenses.
But there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
The post station is not only a guesthouse for officials, but also undertakes postal and military intelligence transmission functions. However, there is obvious slacking off in military intelligence transmission. For example, after the Japanese pirates attacked Xinghua City, Fujian, the news of the 100,000 urgent news was delayed for more than a month.
Delivered to the capital.
As for these officials and relatives who eat and drink, they have already formed a routine, so how could they be eliminated so easily?
This young master, who is either rich or noble, has a very unusual background, but in the Ming Dynasty, he wants to make a fortune and become a Jinshi officer at a young age. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there are probably only a handful of people, and if Chacha is here
If you meet, it is not much different from winning the jackpot.
The housekeeper seemed very angry and never took this little seventh-rank magistrate seriously. He said sarcastically: "You are just a small county magistrate of Dianbai County, and you have a very wide management!"
"The Ming Dynasty's finances fell into such fields because you maggots bite the foundation of the Ming Dynasty! This official is the official appointed by the court, so how can you not control it?" Yang said with justice.
The housekeeper didn't want to pay attention to this small seventh-rank magistrate, but instead ordered the postmaster next to him: "What are you still standing there? Get out your best cross-yard, and my young master will rest here tonight!
”
"This..." Yicheng was not a principled person, so he secretly looked at Yang Magistrate.
If it were on weekdays, as long as the other party showed his identity, he would definitely be prepared. But today, this stubborn magistrate is here, but it is difficult to easily choose to express his opinion.
County Magistrate Yang had no intention of giving in, and said with confidence: "It's so ridiculous! Since you have no official position and still want to live in the best cross-age courtyard, would you really think that the post station belongs to your family?"
"Who said that I have no official position?" But at this time, the young master who had been hiding in the carriage seemed arrogant.
Huh?
Listening to this, many people were stunned and looked up curiously.
Lin Weiran is already very familiar with the officialdom in Guangdong. Although he is not without young officials like him, he can match the best cross-campus, and he really doesn't have any impression of him.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, the young master revealed the answer and told himself: "I am the new governor of Guangzhou Lin Weiran. Now I am going to Guangzhou Prefecture to take up my post. How can I not live in this best cross-agency?"
ah?
Yicheng's fat face was immediately shocked, his heart pounded in shock, and he looked at the carriage.
this……
County Magistrate Yang also did not expect that the person who ran into him today was the famous Lin Lei Gong, the youngest fourth-rank official in the Ming Dynasty.
ah?
Hu Niu was watching while eating melon seeds. When she suddenly heard the answer, her pink and jade-like face was stunned. She opened her mouth and looked up at her brother standing next to her in confusion.
"You won't let go, don't block the Lord!"
The official chief reacted first and said half-calling to Magistrate Yang.
Although he has welcomed and sent many officials to the governor, and even the political attendees of the General Secretary personally received them. However, compared with this Lin Lei Gong, there is still a big gap.
Now that King Lin Lei went to Guangzhou Prefecture to take office, he would be a real fourth-rank official. If he had been with his background and age, he would have been able to join the cabinet and become the prime minister.
Magistrate Yang hesitated for a moment, stood there and bowed to the carriage, saying, "Mr. Lin, I respect you as a good official, and have done a lot of practical things for Leizhou Prefecture! But you shouldn't be hurting people like this, please think carefully.
!”
"I don't need to preach you, let go!" The young master in the car said lightly.
Magistrate Yang frowned slightly, but he still led the donkey to make way. He was indeed a good official who could do practical things before, but today he was disappointed.
"Quick! Quick!"
When the postmaster learned that the person in the car was the famous Lin Lei Gong, he immediately ordered to the postmaster: "Hurry, lead Lord Lin to Tianziyuan!"
The four magnificent and open black carriages slowly drove into the gate and entered the courtyard of the inn. However, the courtyard was behind, but there were naturally people who would lead them in.
"Magistrate Yang, I have asked you to settle things, but you just don't listen! Please!" The official chief looked respectfully at the carriage and drove in, and said pity to Magistrate Yang.
County Magistrate Yang did not say anything, silently picked up the silver ingot and threw it to the county magistrate and said, "I shouldn't be able to walk on the road. Please make you a better donkey!"
"Mr. Yang, you should return this money, why don't I help you get it back?" Yicheng made a suggestion and volunteered to say.
County Magistrate Yang shook his head and refused, "I need to go to Leizhou City first, and then return to Dianbai County. This journey will take hundreds of miles. If there is no good donkey, when will the county take office?"
Why!
When the official heard that the county magistrate Yang was so unintentional, he shook his head repeatedly and thought to himself: Who wouldn't know that Leizhou Prefecture is the land of Lin Lei Gong? Even if you take office, life will be difficult.
The postmaster and the county magistrate Li were about to walk into the postmaster compound together, but suddenly noticed that two carriages were slowly coming from behind, and a young man and a little girl also walked out of the night.
The postmaster was doing the work of welcoming and seeing off the trip, and bowed without being polite, "This young master, we only entertain the officials of the court! If you want to stay in a hotel, please find another place. No foreign guests will be welcomed here.
!”
Lin Weiran smiled slightly and took out the kraft paper bag.
Huh?
County Chief Li glared at his eyes, because this cow paper bag is used exclusively for the Ministry of Personnel, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get this thing. However, the official chief looked at Lin Weiran vigilantly because there were not many scammers over the years.
Lin Qingran pulled out Kenhe and handed it to the official secretary and said, "This is my official's Kenhe!"
Chapter completed!
