Now, except for the prefect, seven prefecture and county officials are standing in line, four on the prefect's side and three on the governor's side.
Lin Tailai just said that the matter of Jinongcang will be brought to justice. According to this situation, there is definitely no way to forcefully change the status quo of Jinongcang.
The government can only continue to be responsible for all the warehouses for farmers. Lin Tailai moved out as the governor today and failed.
But Lin Tailai didn't show any frustration at all, and he didn't even care about the result.
Many people also understand in their hearts that this matter is not over yet.
Lin Tailai seemed to just want to use Jinongcang as an excuse to divide camps and identify enemies and friends.
Lin Tailai said to the officials on the prefecture's side: "We have openly boycotted Futai, so what are we doing to welcome him?
Futai doesn’t need you to pretend to be affectionate here, let’s get over it!”
The gentry in Suzhou City had been watching with cold eyes, surprised by the development of the situation.
I originally thought that when Lin Jieyuan returned to Suzhou with the new governor in full glory, everything would be calm for the time being and the world would be at peace.
But I didn't expect that as soon as Lin Jieyuan came out with the new governor, he would start to divide the camps in the prefecture and county yamen so simply and clearly.
This kind of openness allows all officials to state their positions unequivocally, and makes Suzhou officialdom lose all flexibility and buffering. Then can Suzhou city officialdom still calm down in the future?
All we can say is that wherever Lin Tai comes, there will be Jianghu.
When the crowd dispersed, Lin Tailai added a few words: "In addition, I also want to warn everyone that Suzhou City is the Suzhou City of the Emperor of Heaven and the Suzhou City of Suzhou people, but it is definitely not Zhang Fengpan's Suzhou City!"
When everyone heard Lin Tailai emphasize "Zhang Fengpan" and "Suzhou native" again, they couldn't help but look at Shen Yongjia.
Everyone present knew that after Zhang Siwei returned to the court and resumed his post as chief minister, the biggest "victim" was Shen Shixing.
Lin Tailai's blatant challenge to Zhang Siwei may seem like an insult to a tree, but it does not mean that he is not "loyal and brave" as a peripheral member of the Shen family.
From this point of view, the courage and courage of the real second master of Shen Mansion are really not as good as Lin Tailai, a nominal disciple.
Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but take a high look at Lin Tailai. Loyalty and bravery are always worthy of admiration.
The welcoming ceremony ended hastily, and Zhao Zhigao turned around and returned to the boat, but he found that Lin Tailai had not moved and was still standing on the shore.
"Why don't you leave?" Zhao Zhigao asked strangely.
Lin Tailai sighed and replied: "The folks insist on holding a separate welcome ceremony for me, so I can't bear to neglect the folks.
So Futai, let’s go to the city first, I’ll wait for another one at the back.”
Zhao Zhigao was speechless, shook his head and got on the boat, then continued towards Suzhou City.
After the governor's boat passed the iconic Maple Bridge, he suddenly heard the sound of golden drums.
If this was on a battlefield, he would have thought he was ambushed. Zhao Zhigao couldn't help but walk out of the cabin again and looked behind him in the direction of Fengqiao.
On both sides of the maple bridge, hundreds of colorful flags appeared at some point, fluttering in the autumn wind.
Along with the colorful flags, there were hundreds or even thousands of people sandwiched on both sides of the strait, and they could vaguely hear the cheers of "Lin Jieyuan".
On the Maple Bridge, several large banners have been hung. However, what big characters are written on them cannot be seen clearly from the angle behind them.
At least in terms of the scene, the crowd that greeted Lin Jieyuan was even louder than the one that greeted the governor just now.
Zhao Zhigao, who was visiting Suzhou City for the first time, smiled. Young people are young people and they like this kind of vanity.
But being able to mobilize such a scene is enough to show Lin Tailai's power in Suzhou City, which is a good thing.
After enjoying the superficial scenery, Lin Tailai also got on the boat.
In the cabin were the Zhang family brothers who were guardians of the law, the Four King Kongs, Uncle Song from Anletang, Gao Changjiang from Nanhao Street, Old Man Tang from the fish market, Ma Yingming, the customs chief of Mudu Port, and other key members of the society.
It happened to be in this cabin that Lin was having his first meeting after his return.
Huang Xiaomei and Mrs. Fan, two troubled women, are not here because Lin Zuoguan clearly told them in advance that they should stay in Mudu Town today and not move.
After being nervous for a long time, Lin Tailai could finally enter a very relaxed state and said casually:
"Calculating the time, I have been away for three months and the society is leaderless. During this period, has any outside force provoked our society?"
Everyone replied: "No!"
Lin Zuoguan asked again: "So when these dragons are leaderless, is there anyone inside who is restless?"
Everyone replied: "No!"
Lin Zuoguan said a little dissatisfied: "I have been away for so long, and the society is in a weak state, but it is so peaceful?
There are no enemies or bandits, what a pity!"
Gao Changjiang wanted to answer: Your "lubing the snake out of the hole" strategy has been used too often!
Even if there are enemies inside and outside now, after seeing so many precedents of suffering losses, I will not be fooled for the time being.
When the words came to his lips, they turned into: "As for the next step of affairs, do you have any instructions?"
Lin Tailai had already prepared a plan and immediately gave instructions: "The first thing is to spread the word throughout the city!
It is said that Zhang Siwei is about to seize the position of chief assistant from the people of Suzhou, and there is a gang of Zhang Siwei's minions headed by Magistrate Zhu in Suzhou city.
The government office is the main black stronghold of this gang! Among the officials above the seventh rank of the government office, except Liu Tuiguan, they are all members of this gang!"
After everyone had written it down, Lin Tailai gave instructions: "The second thing is to quickly form an engineering team. I mean talents who can draw, plan, and organize on-site!
Then this year we are going to start dredging the Sanjiangkou and building two new city gates!"
Gao Changjiang said doubtfully: "The situation is still unclear at the moment, right? How about waiting for a while and seeing which way the wind blows before starting?"
In projects like this, if there is too much resistance, the plan will fail at every turn.
If you prepare too much in advance when there is uncertainty, it will be a waste of resources.
Lin Tailai said confidently: "Don't worry, it will be clear in a few days!
I’m just afraid that when the opportunity comes, we won’t be prepared!”
Lin Zuoguan's confidence immediately reassured everyone, and they suddenly felt that the government office was a piece of shit!
This is trust gained through many experiences. Lin Zuoguan's prestige is accumulated through victory after victory.
Ma Yingming joined the association relatively late, and expressed his positive attitude: "A banquet has been arranged in Mudu Town to welcome the guests and wash away the dust."
Nowadays, the large team of people are still concentrated in Mudu Town. If Lin Zaiguan returns, his first stop should be to Mudu Town.
Lin Tailai waved his hand and said, "I will not go back to Mudu Town today. I will go to Sun Lian Lian's place in the city to rest!"
Everyone immediately looked at each other, what does it mean to sit down?
It was Gao Changjiang who reacted first and shouted quickly: "When you come back from sitting in a restaurant, you always have to wash away the wind and dust.
Then I won’t go back to Mudu Town, and I will just hold a banquet at Sun Lianlian’s house and sit down to welcome him."
The rest of the people suddenly woke up from a dream, except Uncle Song and Old Man Tang, who all shouted together: "Let's go together, let's go to the city to sit in a restaurant to catch the wind!"
Now that Huang Wuniang and Fan are both in Mudu Town, how would they feel if they didn't see Lin sitting in the restaurant and going back, and heard that Lin was sitting in the restaurant and went to other women's homes in the city?
That's why the fool returned to Mudu Town to bear the wrath of the two empresses, but it was better to follow the action first.
I just don’t understand why the sitting hall was deliberately arranged in this way. I can only think that it is the "imperial art" of sitting in the hall. Maybe it was learned in Nanjing, the imperial capital.
There are too many things to do today and I don’t have the energy to make up for it. I’ll make up for it tomorrow.
