Lin Su glanced at the second sister-in-law and smiled: "Second brother, my little nephew is about to be born. You will take office in two months. What will my sister-in-law do?"
Lin Jialiang said: "That can only be left at home. Anyway, I am now a great scholar. Although Sanping County is three thousand miles away from home, it only takes a day or two to get home."
Great Confucianism is good.
If placed in an ordinary feudal society, it would be too difficult to become an official in a different place.
Zeng Shigui said, second brother, don't worry, there is still me. I am in Beichuan, Zhongzhou, which is closer to Haining than you. If there is anything at home, please let me know and I will take care of it.
He was called second brother naturally, and he already regarded himself as a member of the Lin family.
Lin Jialiang shook hands with him gently: "Brother Zeng, thank you very much. By the way, have you started building your house?"
The construction of the house has already started. It is located on Haining River Beach. The building materials are provided by several factories for free. Xiuniang has already found a job in the cement factory. She made two taels of silver last month and she seems very happy.
Lin Su smiled. Xiu Niang should not work in the cement factory from now on. It is inappropriate for a county magistrate's wife to do that. So, let her run the perfume shop with Lu Yi and the others. The second batch of perfume should be released.
, it is more appropriate for them to do this.
Perfume? Zeng Shigui was shocked and quickly refused. This perfume industry is the high-end industry of your Lin family. How can Xiu Niang do this? It’s inappropriate. She has been doing what poor women do all these years. She can’t do this. I don’t have it.
If you plan to pamper her, don't do it either.
Zeng Shigui was very determined.
The Lin brothers looked at each other and couldn't do anything about him.
Lin Su thought for a moment: "How about you ask her and her sister Mei Niang to help me do another thing."
"What?"
"Responsible for the management of the porcelain factory."
"Porcelain factory? What is this? Why haven't I heard of it?" Zeng Shigui had spent a long time in Jiangtan. He had a comprehensive understanding of the coal factory, brick factory, and cement factory, but he had not seen the porcelain factory.
Lin Su raised his hand, and a bottle of Spring Tears perfume appeared in his hand: "This porcelain bottle is the first generation product of the porcelain factory. At that time, because of the shortage of manpower and our weak strength, we could not hold on to a large industry, so,
The porcelain factory only opened for one month and then closed down. It only produced one kind of perfume bottle. Now the situation is different..."
How are things different now?
There are 70,000 to 80,000 new refugees on the riverbank, who also need to make a living. Magistrate Yang once told Lin Su that this group of refugees has exceeded the capacity of the original factories, and the factories cannot enter, so they are suitable for planting.
The land of Tamihua is also limited. Although these refugees are mindful of the kindness of the Lin family and will not cause trouble at the moment, it will still be a big hidden danger when people run out of food over time.
What Magistrate Yang saw as a hidden danger, Lin Su saw as a business opportunity.
He could now open a porcelain factory that he could not open before. The porcelain factory is an industry that requires a large number of manpower. Now that the Lin family brothers have become great scholars and officials, they don't care much about other people's malicious attacks.
So what if we start a big wave of upgrading household products?
Zeng Shigui looked at the extremely exquisite porcelain vase in his hand and listened to Lin Su's passionate idea, and he was excited!
The 70,000 to 80,000 refugees that Lin Su paid attention to were all his elders in Jicheng. After he became a Jinshi, his mind was filled with thoughts about this huge group. Every time he thought about it, he would feel sad, worried, and helpless.
But as soon as Lin Su said three words, all the haze dissipated...
"Brother Lin, I am really impressed by your ability to turn stone into gold. Beichuan, where I will serve in the future, will have to pick you up no matter what..."
Haha, you haven't even taken office yet, and you are thinking about the lives of the people in your jurisdiction? So for an official like my second brother, you are a fool...
The three men laughed.
Over at Quxiu, several women looked at each other. What were they talking about so happily?
Sister Chen smiled softly: "I heard a key word, porcelain! I think that in a few years, Haining porcelain will appear on the dining tables of every household on this ship. The era of household appliances revolution has arrived."
"Revolution? What do you mean?" Qu Xiu didn't understand.
"A word Xianggong said means an epoch-making change... Epoch-making is also a word Xianggong said, which means breaking some of the traditions of this era..." Luyi added.
The next day, the ship arrived in Huichang.
The ship docked. Lin Su and Lin Jialiang put on official uniforms and went ashore. The rest of the people stayed on the big ship and at the dock. Whether it was the two people wearing official uniforms or this magnificent ship, there was a certain
The word is called: He stands out among the chickens.
This is not because Lin Su is showing off. The key is that people are rich. On the contrary, there are many things that do not cost money. This boat was hired by the Qu family to send them. The owner of the boat has been sailing for many years and has a sharp eye.
, knowing the "myth" of the capital's cloth industry - the Qu family was so careful to hire the best ship, and the people who sent it were naturally extraordinary, and they insisted on not asking for money from the beginning.
After the guest boarded the ship, he knew that he had made the right bet. The man on his ship was actually the No. 1 scholar in the imperial examination!
The number one scholar actually took his boat, which made the boss of the boat so excited that he didn't sleep all day and night. As long as this incident is spread out, his boat will become the "Qingyun Boat" that the literary people in the whole capital dream of.
, who doesn’t want to sit on the boat that the number one scholar has ridden and become more literary?
No matter what the champion does, no matter how long the delay is, he, Boss Zhu, will wait without any regrets!
Lin Su did not choose to go ashore with everyone because he did not plan to spend the night in Huichang. There are some things that men can do. He can solve everything by himself. Lin Jialiang just sent it to him. Zeng Shigui also wanted to come, but he
You have to stay and protect the women.
The Lin brothers don't need to be guarded, they are no longer weak scholars, they are a generation of great scholars who can change the world with a wave of their hands.
Lin Su walked through the streets of Huichang that he had walked before and went straight to Zhizhou Prefecture.
The door opposite to the prefect's house is the Zhou family. The servant guarding the door of the Zhou family's house suddenly lit up his eyes. What did he see?
Two officials came over here. They were both so young, but the official uniforms they wore were quite high. One was a fifth-grade official uniform, and the other was a seventh-grade official uniform. The lowest was a county magistrate (some county magistrates only had
Eighth grade or seventh grade), such a high official does not ride in a sedan? He comes on foot? Is he here to visit Mr. Zhou? Mr. Zhou has a good foundation, the Minister of Rites is his brother...
But the two high-ranking officials passed in front of Jing Ding and went straight to the Zhizhou Mansion.
The servant's eyes fell on the left face of the fifth-rank official in front, and he was suddenly startled...
Oh my god, it's him!
The servant rushed into the Zhou Mansion: Master, Master...
Zhou Luofu, who was drinking tea in the front hall, glared at him: What's the matter?
The servant said: A fifth-grade high-ranking official passed by the door just now. It was... it was...
Who is it?
The servant said: It's Lin Su!
Zhou Luofu suddenly jumped up: Did you see clearly?
See clearly, it’s him!
Zhou Luofu's face trembled and he murmured to himself, fifth-rank official, number one scholar, fifth-rank official, number one scholar...
The lady in the other chair also had trembling lips.
This was once their son-in-law, but now, in less than a year, he has become the number one scholar, and his first official appointment is the fifth-rank official. What will the future of a twenty-year-old fifth-rank official be like? Anyone can
It cannot be measured.
On that day, he competed with his son Zhou Liangcheng on the same stage. He was ridiculed in every possible way by Zhou Liangcheng and suppressed by the Zhou family. But now, the Lin brothers have soared high in the sky, and Zhou Liangcheng has become a playboy with no ambition.
It makes parents very worried...
Was this move wrong after all?
There are so many great people in the capital, why did you let him break through the siege and soar into the sky?
Didn't you say that it was impossible for him to pass the Jinshi examination?
Lin Su and Lin Jialiang didn't pay attention to the Zhou family at all. They came directly to the Zhizhou Mansion. The head guard in front of the mansion greeted them and bowed in greeting: "I'm here to see you two adults. I don't know you two adults..."
Lin Su said calmly: "Look up and look!"
The leader of the guards raised his head, and suddenly his expression changed: "Lin..."
On that day, Qin Fangweng detained Chen Si and Lu Yi, and the incident of Lin Su coming to the government office was still fresh in the memory of the head guard. When he saw them today, his face was completely changed.
"Notify Qin Fangweng and Lin Su, the fifth-rank supervisory envoy from the capital, to come to Quzhou for supervision!"
He raised his hand, and in his palm was his official seal. The two golden characters "Supervision" were like two sharp swords, pointing directly at the magistrate's office.
"Yes! Yes!" The leader of the guards bowed repeatedly: "I will inform Mr. Zhizhou now. The two adults are here to invite you!"
Lin Jialiang smiled faintly: "Third brother, I won't go in to avoid false accusations. I will go back to the ship to wait for you."
"good!"
Lin Jialiang said nothing and returned directly to the dock from Zhizhou Mansion.
When Qin Fangweng came out of the government office, he happened to see Lin Jialiang's figure walking away from the sky. His expression was already a little off. When the officials came to Zhizhou Mansion, they didn't meet him at all and went straight to the sky. This was really a disservice to him.
Not to be respected.
His eyes fell on Lin Su's face, and when he saw Lin Su's playful eyes, Qin Fangweng's heart skipped a beat, it was really him.
Lin Su was appointed as the supervisory envoy. The high officials in the court had predicted that he would come to trouble Qin Fangweng when his period of rest was over. Who would have thought that he would come here on his way home to rest. He is a good boy, with a clear distinction between love and hate.
ah……
But Qin Fangweng didn't take it seriously at all. Supervisor, hehe, let me see how you supervise me. I guarantee that you can find a lot of problems with me, but I also guarantee that the problems you find will not have any impact on me. I will make you mad.
A grandson...
Siluke
Lin Su said calmly: "Master Qin, have you never studied the laws of Da Cang? Or do you simply not see His Majesty in your eyes?"
Qin Fangweng's face suddenly sank: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Su said coldly: "I have already issued the supervision order. As a local official, why don't you salute the supervision order?"
I c!
Qin Fangweng's heart is full of mmp, you kid is all-pervasive, I was on guard against you messing with my secrets, but I wasn't on guard against this. Lin Su holding the supervision order represents the Capital Supervision Department and the laws of the dynasty, regardless of place.
No matter how high your official position is, you must bow to the supervisory order.
The problem is, there are a lot of people outside watching, including the master of the Zhou family. You bastard, you show the supervision order in front of so many people. I am the magistrate of the state, and a second-grade official salutes the supervision order in due course.
, but people outside don’t know this way, and they think I’m saluting you, the sesame official.
Although the anger in his stomach was rising, Qin Fangweng could still lift it up and put it down...
He flicked the sleeves of his robe and bowed deeply: "I am the official Qin Fangweng, the magistrate of Quzhou, and I respectfully welcome the supervisory envoy of the capital to come to Quzhou to supervise all officials."
Lin Su nodded: "I am in the capital, and I have heard that there is chaos and disorder under the rule of Quzhou. The collusion between officials and businessmen, and the collusion between officials and bandits, causing trouble in all directions. In the fish and meat village, I have the emperor's order to perform supervisory duties, and I dare not ignore it.
Despite the appeal of the people, it is impossible to convict Mr. Qin out of thin air, so I came to Quzhou to witness with my own eyes."
Qin Fangweng's eyes were so bulging that his lungs almost exploded with anger, but he couldn't find any chance to refute.
Lin Su has the imperial mandate and it is true that he carries out supervisory duties.
He said that there are also cases where people criticize the government.
He dare not ignore the appeal of the people, but he will not convict people out of thin air. This is an official cliché, and all officials say so.
The question is, there are a lot of people outside at the moment. If you, a person from the capital, talk like this, what will others think?
"Inspector... Your Excellency!" Qin Fangweng said, "Please come into the mansion to talk."
Entering the government office, the pleasant look on Qin Fangweng's face that he had deliberately put on for a long time disappeared instantly.
"Master Lin, you came to Quzhou today to take revenge, right?"
The name has also changed.
Even the official title was waived.
"Revenge! Haha..." Lin Su smiled: "I would really like to remove you from this official position, but it's a pity that I don't have the ability yet."
"You still have some self-awareness!" Qin Fangweng sneered: "Let's be honest, why did you come to the state capital today?"
"Besides asking you to salute me in front of everyone, which is disgusting to you, I also want to tell you that since I have entered the officialdom, neither you nor Zhang Wenyuan should ever think about having a peaceful life."
Qin Fangweng laughed loudly: "Benzhou just said that you have some self-awareness, and now you have exposed your true nature. Lin Su, you are just a little ant, very, very little."
Lin Sudao: "In terms of official position alone, you are indeed higher than me, but so what? I am a capital official and you are a local official, can you use your official position to suppress me? On the contrary, as long as I show the supervision order, you still have to
Salute me! In terms of literary talent, you are nothing in front of me. In terms of combat prowess, I only need a war poem to kill you. In terms of background, I don’t even bother to criticize your backer in the court!... Qin
Fang Weng, you need to understand that you are not that great!"
Every time Lin Su discussed something, Qin Fangweng's face darkened. After the discussion, his face turned completely dark, and he slowly exhaled: "Is today a formal break?"
"Do you think it's just today?" Lin Su said: "When my white clothes are stained with blood and I leave that day, you and I will no longer stand under the same blue sky!"
When his white clothes are stained with blood, who does he know in his youth?... Qin Fangweng suddenly remembered what Li Pingbo said that day, which made him feel extremely excited for a moment. He changed the topic: "How will you deal with Benzhou?"
"I will collect evidence of your crime and make it public to the world!" Lin Su said: "I want to see how a notorious Mr. Qin can secure the top position in Quzhou."
Qin Fangweng's heart skipped a beat. He was still smiling and was about to laugh, but suddenly he stiffened.
Yes, Lin Su would treat any evidence of his crimes to the Supervision Department as if it was a joke. They are all his people and will they listen to you? But Lin Su refused to do this and collected the evidence to make it public.
"You wantonly framed a second-rank official of the imperial court. How can the national law tolerate you?"
