Xiping Station, West Courtyard.

Lin Qingran moved in very low-key and asked Yicheng to hide his identity. The advantage of bringing his family to the office is that their mouths are very tight and they will never easily reveal any slightest remarks to the outside world.

"Xiaoguan Dianbai's new magistrate Yang Jun is visiting the Grand Master of the Tai!"

Magistrate Yang washed his face, combed his beard properly, changed into a set of seventh-rank official uniforms, and wore a black hat. He looked like he was completely renewed and gave Lin Qingran a big gift in a regular manner.

Lin Qingran’s current identity naturally deserves to kneel down, but he still rushed forward and helped the old man up and said, “Magistrate Yang, I can’t do it, please get up quickly!”

"Thank you, Lord Futai!" Yang Magistrate stood up with gratitude, but took the initiative to apologize: "I was deceived by a traitor just now, so I once had anger towards Lord Futai. Please don't blame me!"

A gentleman will generally say this, and he will also speak out the things in his heart with a dignified manner.

"If I am a person who acts like this, and I hate it, how can I blame Magistrate Yang?" Lin Qingran smiled and shook his head, and raised his hand to signal him to sit down at the tea table.

Magistrate Yang saw Lin Junran so humble, and he felt a little calm. His reputation for Lin Lei Gong was already well-known, and he had already admired him. Now he did not disappoint him after contacting him.

The maid brought tea. Magistrate Yang was a man who knew the rules. He followed Lin Qingran to sit down.

Magistrate Yang did not come all for apologizing this time, and bowed seriously: "The Xiaguan first came to Dianbai County to serve as a parent official, and he was very frightened and asked the Grand Master of the State Council for advice!"

This is indeed the truth of Yang Magistrate Yang. He has deep admiration for Lin Xuran's ability to govern Leizhou, and he already wants to take him as his teacher.

"I dare not give advice!" Lin Qingran first observed Yang Magistrate Yang and found that his eyes were indeed sincere. He spat on tea before asking: "Yang Magistrate Yang, I wonder how you view the Japanese disease problem?"

County Magistrate Yang was a little restrained, but his eyes were very frank and looked at Lin Qingran with frank eyes and said: "Although the officials hated the Japanese pirates, they did not advocate sea ban! In fact, the governor of Tang was very correct. The Japanese plague of the Ming Dynasty originated from the sea ban. It was the sea ban that cut off the financial path of the sea merchants, which caused this protracted disaster!"

This statement is not new, but he changed his mind and continued: "In addition, some local officials and gentry embezzled the land, causing many people to go bankrupt and become enemies. The government also needs to bear great responsibility for this. Therefore, the court should advocate opening the sea, and the government should also favor the common people rather than the gentry!"

"Oh? County Magistrate Yang really thinks this?" Lin Qingran raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man with interest.

In the current court situation of the Ming Dynasty, there are quite a few speculative officials. The so-called Kaihai faction often changes with the will of the emperor. There are actually not many officials who truly support Kaihai.

As for the latter item, it directly points to the biggest disadvantage of the Ming Dynasty. The deterioration of Japanese disasters is also inseparable from the embezzlement of land by officials and gentry, which has led to the bankrupt people on the road of robbery.

Magistrate Yang could see this clearly and dared to point it out in front of him, Shangguan, proving that he was indeed a good official who wanted to make decisions for the people.

"To be honest, Xiaguan is a Tongzhi of Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, and has a deeper understanding of the Japanese disease problem!" Yang Zhixian looked at Lin Yanran's eyes frankly, and then said seriously: "I had some concerns about opening the sea earlier, worried about whether it would cause greater disasters to the people! Last year, the flood disaster in Guangdong caused the rice price to rise to a horrific level. Lord Lin exchanged 100,000 stones of food from Siam to save the people from water and fire. What a great merit! That's right, Xiaguan felt that opening the sea was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, at least this is the case here in Guangdong!"

It has to be said that Lin Qingran opened the "Leizhou-Siam" route last year, which had a great positive impact on the Ming Dynasty officialdom, resulting in the increase of officials of the Kaihai faction and greatly enhanced the strength of the Kaihai faction.

This time, Lin Xuran's promotion from Leizhou to Guangzhou was inseparable from this achievement of transporting back to Siam rice to provide disaster relief in Guangdong, which led to his strong support from the Kaihai faction.

Faced with the sincerity of Yang Magistrate Yang, Lin Qingran no longer had too much suspicion and concern. He thought for a little while, reached out to dip a little tea, and then wrote two words "pier" on the table with his fingers.

The foundation of Leizhou Prefecture has been laid there, like a carriage running at high speed. Even if the groom who drove the carriage did not do anything, Leizhou could still develop rapidly.

Facing the doubts of Yang Magistrate Yang, Lin Qingran explained seriously in his eyes: "When the dock is prosperous, the lightning will rise, the people will be full; when the wharf is declining, the lightning will fall, the people will be mourned!"

"Thank you for your advice from Master Futai!" Yang Magistrate stood up and respectfully bowed.

Lin Qingran actually admired the county magistrate Yang very much. Although he was not sure about his ability to govern, he was undoubtedly a very principled official. An extremely principled official would not be lost in this officialdom and would maintain a public heart.

Once County Magistrate Yang can really listen to his words and vigorously develop Dianbai Port, Dianbai will inevitably prosper and the lives of the local people will inevitably be greatly improved.

Lin Qingran had just sent Yang Magistrate away, but saw Hu Niu walking into the yard in a hurry. She couldn't help but shake her head gently. She had already given up treatment for this wild girl who liked to run around.

"Brother, that big villain was arrested and locked up in that woodroom!" Hu Niu came to her, and her pink face showed a "not lying to you" expression and said seriously.

Lin Weiran was not interested in this matter, so he poured a pot of cold water and said, "Catch it! What are you doing so excited?"

"He pretended to be a brother! Now that he was arrested, I am of course happy!" Hu Niu explained in a crisp voice, watching her brother walk into the house, and then followed and chased him: "Brother, that man is such a big villain, I won't lie to you!"

"How did you know?" Lin Weiran turned his head and looked at her in confusion.

Hu Niu exposed her sleeves, revealing her pink elbow, pointing to a place on it and said seriously: "He has a tooth mark here. He must have done something bad, so he was bitten!"

Lin Qingran reached out and touched his shoulders, but looked down on him. This girl's inference was obviously untenable.

The young master who pretended to be him was obviously a little bit from the background. Looking at his arrogant attitude, he probably was a child of a high-ranking official in the province. The same is true. He did not intend to pursue this matter too deeply, which really made the young master lose his head.

He is now going to Guangzhou Prefecture to take office and does not want to cause too much trouble. If he really makes such a big deal, even if he does this young master, it will be a move that will not be worth the effort.

Officials pay attention to being with Guang and Duchen. If you kill this today and that tomorrow. Not to mention you want to establish your own mountain in Guangdong, Yan and Xu will unite to kill you first.

Of course, this choice is related to his experience. Although it was a traitor to pretend to be an official in this era, it was not so serious in later generations. The young master just took advantage of his name to take advantage of the official post and did not kill him.

Two days later, Lin Qingran finally entered the boundary of Guangzhou Prefecture. Guangzhou Prefecture has a jurisdiction over one prefecture and fifteen counties, with its jurisdiction extending to the ocean coast in the south and to Huguang and Guangxi provinces in the north. It is a veritable economic center in Guangdong and Guangxi.
