According to the original division of labor, Lin Daguan's mother, Lin Song, was in Hengtang Town, and his father, Lin Guozhong, and his sister-in-law were in Mudu Town.
After comforting Huang Wuniang, Lin Daguan said to Mrs. Lin Song outside the house: "Mom, please stop going to Mudu Town to join in the fun. Focus on staying with Ms. Huang here and don't let Ms. Huang feel left out."
Mrs. Lin Song nodded in agreement, her palms and backs were full of flesh, both fetuses were very important.
There is a Lin family property at the foot of Lingyan Mountain in Mudu Town, where Mrs. Fan has been living for the past year.
When Lin Daguan arrived at Lin's villa, they saw that the atrium was already full of people.
Not only my father and three brothers came, but also many leaders of the club, big and small, came.
For example, Gao Changjiang, the chief tax officer Ma Yingming and the chief accountant Song Shu, as well as the early Four King Kongs, all of whom were relatively close to each other, basically appeared here. The left and right guardians also joined in after the arrival of Lin Daguan.
Official Lin couldn't help but murmur, why are these people more active than himself?
Whether the birth of a new baby is a big one or not depends mainly on whether the inherited family property and foundation are thick or not.
Lin Tailai had just finished greeting everyone and exchanged a few simple greetings.
Suddenly, I saw my sister-in-law rushing out of the hall and shouting: "Give birth! It's a boy!"
Before Lin Tailai could react, cheers erupted in the courtyard. Regardless of whether the baby boy was a legitimate child or not, at least the Lin family had a descendant.
After two lifetimes and becoming a father for the first time, Lin Tailai was a little confused and was still doing some mental construction subconsciously.
Lin Guozhong was still calm and pushed his son Lin Tailai, "Go in and have a look!"
Although Father Lin was also very happy, he was not so excited that he was overwhelmed. After all, he already had four grandchildren.
Lin Tailai walked to the main hall of the inner courtyard. The newborn was taken out of the inner room and let Lin Tailai look at it for a while.
Seeing this crumpled little thing with his own eyes, his son transformed from a symbol into a little life, and blood and family ties emerged spontaneously.
This is Lin Daguan's first real blood relative since time travel.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Fan in the back room calmed down, tidied up a little more, and then let Lin Tailai go in to visit.
Mrs. Fan's normally fierce expression became much softer now, adding a bit of pride. Her eyes were focused on her son beside her most of the time.
Lin Daguan sat next to him and talked with him, and asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Lady Fan looked at the infant boy tenderly and replied: "I was just wondering, what kind of wife will he find in the future?"
Lin Tailai was speechless, his brain circuit was so exciting. His son had just been born, and he was already thinking about marriage?
However, at this time, official Lin could only choose to be nice and said: "I'll make a calculation, this wife must come from the prime minister's family."
Mrs. Fan's eyes lit up and she said happily: "You're talking about the Shen family? That's really good."
"Nine times out of ten, yes." Lin Daguan didn't just say it casually. Two days ago, Mr. Shen expressed his wish to get married.
Besides, given the super fertility of the two Shen brothers, who had an average of ten children per person in history, they could not give one or two to their own family.
Although the son in front of me is only the son of a foreign wife, most of Mr. Shen’s children are not direct children.
Lady Fan asked again: "What nickname did you mention?"
In this era, many people have a habit of giving their newborns a nickname and then giving them a formal real name until they are in their teens.
For example, Lin Daguan's nickname was Sixi, but his real name was Lin Tailai when he was twelve years old.
When Mrs. Fan mentioned her nickname, Lin Tailai said generously: "You are the hardest worker, so you can come up with your son's nickname!"
Madam Fan already had an idea in her mind, and she said enthusiastically after hearing this: "Today is the first day of September, and my nickname is Jiuyi. I think it sounds good."
Using the date of birth as a nickname is a characteristic of the times.
Ninety-one? Official Lin frowned slightly, this number seemed a bit special.
However, it didn't dampen Madam Fan's interest, so Lin Daguan agreed: "It's good, it's good, ninety-nine will be the same."
After coming out of the inner courtyard, Mr. Lin continued to accept congratulations from others.
Gao Changjiang suggested: "While sitting in the hall, why not express your feelings and compose an impromptu poem?"
Lin Daguan glanced at Gao Changjiang and snorted coldly: "You want to put me on the fire?"
If I write it for Lady Fan, what should I do for Huang Wuniang? It would be troublesome to calculate which song is of higher quality and which of lower quality.
Lin Tailai didn't have two related poems of exactly the same level, so he simply didn't write any.
Although Mrs. Fan is here, Mr. Lin did not stay at Mrs. Fan's side all the time.
He still maintained the rhythm of going back and forth between Mudu Town and Hengtang Town, sleeping one night in each side in turn.
Four days later, Huang Wuniang, who was not willing to fall behind too far, was about to give birth.
So the scene that happened in the Lin family's villa in Mudu Town was repeated in the Lin family compound in Hengtang Town.
The same large group of people stood in the front yard of the Lin family compound in Hengtang Town today, waiting for the arrival of another newborn.
The two empresses of the East and West cannot be offended by either side.
I waited from pre-noon to mid-afternoon when I finally saw Old Man Tang’s old lady hurriedly coming out of the inner courtyard, shouting with joy: “It’s a baby! It’s a boy too!”
There were cheers again around Mr. Lin. Although Mr. Lin really wanted a daughter, a son was not bad either.
After all, in the world's concept, many children are still valued.
After accepting the congratulations from his subordinates, Senior Official Lin went in to visit the newborn and Huang Wuniang.
After comparing, I feel that the eldest son born four days earlier is whiter, while the second son born today is stronger.
Looking at Huang Wuniang again, her face was filled with a sense of relaxation, as if she had completed a stressful task.
Lin Daguan said pitifully: "Why did you come here? In fact, I love my daughter more."
After Mrs. Fan gave birth to her son four days ago, Huang Wuniang felt tremendous pressure in her heart, fearing that she would give birth to a daughter and be completely outclassed by her.
Hearing what Lin Daguan said, Huang Wuniang rolled her eyes and said, "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk."
Now that she has given birth to her son, Huang Wuniang can feel relaxed.
Then Huang Wuniang asked: "I heard that you agreed with the Fan family to marry the Shen family?"
Lin Daguan heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and took the initiative to say: "Don't worry! We will treat everyone equally!"
Huang Wuniang added: "But I heard that Mr. Shen only has one newborn daughter recently. How to divide it?"
At this moment, Lin Daguan could not compete with women, so he agreed:
"You can rest assured! I will urge Mr. Shen to have another daughter as soon as possible. There will definitely be enough time to ensure that everyone has a share."
Then he quickly changed the subject and said, "You'd better think of a nickname for your son first!"
Huang Wuniang said confidently: "Today is the fifth day of September, so my nickname is Jiuwu."
Lin Tailai: "."
One is Jiuyi and the other is Jiuwu. They are very good and powerful. Forget it, the nicknames are all random anyway, and they are better than the four.
Originally, according to Lin Daguanren's plan, he would go to Yangzhou after completing the confinement period with the two women.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. By the end of September, Lin Daguanren found that he had no resources before the end of the year.
Therefore, we can only send people to Yangzhou to deliver the letter and let Wang Yuanwai continue to contact his comrades and collect "criminal evidence". Don't rush to launch it now, wait until next year.
From the end of September to the beginning of October, it is the annual busy time for autumn harvest.
Of course, for people like Lin Daguan, he does not go to the fields to harvest rice. He is really busy after the autumn harvest.
At the end of the autumn harvest, when the government began to collect money and grain, Yingtian Governor Zhao Zhigao paid unprecedented attention to this year's money and grain.
It has to be said that being an official depends on strength one-third and luck seven-tenths. Zhao Zhigao's luck is very good.
Because last year the Suzhou government waived the arrears of money and food for the past ten years, which alleviated the pressure on the people, so this year the people's resistance to paying money and food is not serious.
At the same time, after two consecutive years of minor disasters, this year is finally a good year, and the pressure on the government to collect money and food will naturally be lightened.
Therefore, Lin Daguan predicts that Zhao Zhigao's financial and food targets this year will not be too bad, but the specific data will not be known until the end of the year.
In addition, after the autumn harvest, it means the arrival of slack time, which often means the start of government projects.
This is another matter that worries Lin Daguan people very much. After repeated discussions with the two county governments, this year's government project was finally determined.
On the Wuxian side, dredging of the waterway between Mudu Town and Fengqiao Town has begun to ensure that cargo ships from Mudu Town can go directly northward and merge into the Grand Canal.
In Changzhou County, a dike was built on a large lakeshore outside the city in the east, and it was named Yuan Gongdi.
The project had just been finalized and handed over to the two engineering teams led by eldest brother Lin Shilai. Before Lin Shilai could take a breath, something happened again.
In compliance with the cooperation agreement, Yuanjia Grain Company in Jingzhou, Huguang, quickly transported a large amount of rice to Suzhou City after the autumn harvest. The first batch amounted to 5,000 dan, using more than 20 large ships.
However, the two parties have been arguing over the transaction price for a long time.
Official Lin's price was 500,000 jins of salt for 10,000 shi of rice, while Yuan's Grain Store asked for 1 million jins of salt.
At the end of the day, a deal was reached at a price of 700,000 kilograms of salt in exchange for 10,000 shi of rice.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Gao Changjiang came over again and came up with a charter for running the college.
According to the instructions, the college is divided into junior school and senior school. For the time being, only the junior school is open.
At the same time, it is divided into short class and long class. Those over fifteen years old enter the short class, and those between ten and fifteen years old enter the long class.
Lin Daguan only looked at the curriculum and said dissatisfiedly: "The literature class only teaches hundreds of surnames and the Thousand-Character Classic?"
Gao Changjiang said doubtfully: "Zi Guan said that we only need to teach literacy, and there is no need to learn the Four Books and Five Classics."
Official Lin instructed: "It's not enough to learn hundreds of surnames and a thousand-character script, which will result in you only knowing how to read but not using them.
So I compiled my poems into a collection of poems and used them as advanced compulsory textbooks for literature classes!"
Gao Changjiang: "."
Do you want to compile a collection of your shocking remarks and use them as teaching materials?
In the busy life of Lin Daguan, the time has come to the end of the fourteenth year of Wanli.
Mr. Lin originally thought about restructuring the community organization system, but because he was too busy, he could only postpone the restructuring until next year.
Moreover, the restructuring will definitely bring about short-term chaos. Now is the peak period of community affairs, so it is indeed not suitable for restructuring.
Before the government closed the government offices for the Chinese New Year, Official Lin went to the Procuratorate to visit Governor Zhao and asked: "How is the payment of local money and grain in Jiangnan this year?"
Governor Zhao replied with joy: "Ninety percent!"
Anyone who is familiar with the rules of officialdom understands what this means, so Mr. Lin fell silent.
Seventy percentile means no punishment, eighty percentile means passing, and nine percentile means outstanding.
Seeing that Lin Tailai didn't seem to be interested, Governor Zhao asked in surprise: "What? Are you unhappy?"
Lin Daguan sighed: "The tax resistance was put down last year, and the payment rate this year is as high as 90%. His political performance has been extremely outstanding for two consecutive years. It seems that the old man will definitely be promoted to the ministry after the spring of next year.
As for me, who lives in Suzhou, of course I hope that the old gentleman will continue to be the governor, and I don’t want to see you leave, old gentleman."
Governor Zhao is the Lin Group's most direct and powerful protective umbrella in the Jiangnan region. His departure is a major loss to the Lin Group.
Zhao Zhigao smiled and said: "It's not as exaggerated as you think? No matter who becomes the governor, can it still sway you?"
Official Lin shook his head, "I can conclude now that the next governor will definitely not be kind to me."
Zhao Zhigao, who was familiar with the rules of officialdom, did not ask why. Of course he understood the reason.
In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, avoidance of suspicion and checks and balances were ubiquitous.
For the governor of Yingtian who has jurisdiction over the chief minister's hometown, it is impossible for the chief minister to propose a candidate, and he cannot even appoint anyone who is related to the chief minister.
Those hostile forces will definitely keep a close eye on this candidate and hope that the chief minister will get a handle on this issue.
With Shen Shoufu's character of not showing any flaws, he will not be tough on this issue.
As for why Zhao Zhigao was appointed governor of Yingtian before, it was Lin Tailai who recommended him through Hai Rui, and he had nothing to do with Shen Shoufu at the time.
In other words, Zhao Zhigao first became the governor of Yingtian and then took refuge with Shen Shoufu; instead of first taking refuge with Shen Shoufu and then becoming the governor of Yingtian.
Zhao Zhigao couldn't help but joked: "It's just a new governor, how can you be afraid? The person who is afraid must be the new governor, right?"
Lin Daguan said quietly: "Last year, Governor Wei of Yingtian fell into my hands and was dismissed from office; this year, Governor Yang of Fengyang also fell into my hands and was deprived of the governor's assignment.
If another ungrateful governor falls into my hands next year, it will be the third time in three years that I will bring down Jiangzuo’s frontier officials!
At that time, what will the court think of me? What will the emperor think of me?
Wouldn’t I just be the only one showing off in the forest? Will I be regarded as a troublemaker?”
Zhao Zhigao: "."
What does it mean that the wood is beautiful and you are the only one in the forest? If you think about it carefully, what Lin Tailai said seems to make sense?
It can only be said that Lin Tailai's troubles are so fresh and refined, and different from others.
Then Zhao Zhigao spoke again: "After listening to your words, I suddenly felt something.
Now that you have a son and have a family, it's time to give you a name, otherwise it won't be easy for others to call you.
As a senior, I will give you a font name, how about the word "Duxiu"? It means "Muxiu Yulin". And Lin is your last name, so it is related."
Lin Daguanren: "."
Lin Tailai, whose courtesy name is Duxiu? His nickname is Jinbu?
It’s the end of the month, please warm up with your monthly ticket first!!!
