Chapter 330 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesnt stop
The 14th year of Wanli is gone, the 15th year of Wanli is here, and Lin Daguan has already begun to look forward to the 16th year of Wanli when the provincial examination (liberal arts) will be held.
Later generations are still very familiar with the Fifteenth Year of Wanli, because there is a book full of private information called "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".
Simply speaking from a sense of time, Lin Daguan didn't have much feelings about the fifteenth year of Wanli. There was nothing major this year worthy of causing trouble.
However, for Lin Daguan personally, there were two major events around the second half of the fifteenth year of Wanli in history. Hai Rui and Qi Jiguang died within a few months of each other.
Thinking of this, Lin Daguan told Zuo Protector Zhang Wen:
"Find three smart guys and go out to visit Qi Shaobao in Shandong, where cotton is rich, after the New Year, and ask Qi Shaobao if he is interested in partnering to traffic cotton to the south of the Yangtze River, and give him a big share of the profits.
If there is no suitable person in the club, just go to Suzhou Weili and look for it, and you can always find someone with experience in going north."
Although Zhang Wen agreed, he was still confused. What kind of thinking did he have to sit in a restaurant during the Chinese New Year?
Lin Daguan sighed: "Let Qi Shaobao find something to do, so as not to stay at home and be depressed and die young."
Then he ordered: "Send someone to Nanjing to see Hai Qingtian and tell Hai Qingtian that I will go to Nanjing to take the provincial examination next year.
And I want to get an unprecedented Wen Jieyuan right under his nose, if you don’t believe me, just wait and see!”
Zhang Wen: "."
Sitting here, do you want Hai Qingtian to live for a long time, or do you want to "die in office" directly?
The Lin family's New Year's reunion dinner was held at the old house in Linsong Village. Mrs. Fan and Huang Wuniang each held their sons and were finally qualified to attend.
Just talking about this house, three generations of men, women, old and young, together, there are seventeen people in it, which can definitely be called a prosperous population.
Although Lin Guozhong's father was unconvinced and thought he was the head of the family, in fact, the backbone of the family was already Lin Asi.
Brothers Ah Da, Ah Er and Ah San spent most of their time listening to Ah Si's speech.
Although he was sitting in the last seat among adult men, he could not hide Lin Asi's aura of scolding Fang Qiu.
"This is not an exam year, so I don't have to worry about the imperial examinations, so I still focus on club affairs.
Moreover, the association has expanded rapidly in the past two years, mainly through extensive growth, and has shown signs of chaotic management and low efficiency.
Therefore, the overall policy this year should be to actively slow down the expansion momentum, achieve a soft landing, and achieve steady growth.
The focus of the work is on consolidating the foundation, deepening internal reforms, strengthening personnel quality, and improving economic quality.
There are five major and twenty small measures, the first one is "
The other brothers didn't dare to speak. The eldest brother Lin Shilai rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't say these things that you don't understand. Just tell us what you want us to do this year?"
Lin Tailai had no choice but to put away his situation education lectures and directly gave instructions: "Brother, please double the engineering team and form a third and fourth team."
Then the second brother Lin Yun said: "You have been training at the Shangtang Street and Nanhao Street Municipal Management Office for a year or two, and you are asked to go to Yangzhou. Do you dare to go?"
The second brother Lin looked embarrassed, not daring to take on this important task. Among their brothers, the second brother Lin was the least courageous and ambitious.
Lin Tailai had no choice but to let his second brother wait, "It's convenient for you in the city, so you can be responsible for repairing the garden of my house for me!"
Then Lin Daguan said to his third brother Lin Fu: "Third brother, if you continue to work as a river driver at Mudu Port, the industrial park is right next to Mudu Port. You can do more work and serve as the chief engineer of the industrial park."
This is no problem. In just a few words, Lin Daguan finished arranging his brother's tasks for this year.
As for dad, let’s continue studying double-cropping rice!
By the way, sweet potatoes must have been stolen from Nanyang to Fujian in the past two years. I can find a way to get some from Fujian later and let dad study it.
Although this thing is not a panacea and cannot be used as a staple food all the time, eating it mixed with it can also be a way to reduce food pressure.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Silk Weaving Field in the Industrial Park issued a recruitment notice with two attractive conditions.
First, there is an interest-free grain loan from Ji Nongcang, giving priority to relief and welfare; second, a system of paying a fixed base salary on a ten-day basis is implemented.
Before the first month of the year, five hundred skilled weavers were quickly recruited from Suzhou city.
It’s not that only 500 weavers signed up, but that the current size of the silk weaving field in the industrial park can only accommodate 500 weavers.
Originally, Lin Daguan planned to launch 200 looms directly, but it failed to meet the plan.
Because the cost of looms was high, it only cost ten taels of silver to start. The society was still in a period of high investment and funds were too tight. As a result, we only prepared a hundred looms.
Lin Daguan could only seek truth from facts and start from this scale. After all, the most important thing at the moment is to open the industrial park and enter a benign snowball development model.
The current mainstream recruitment model for silk weaving factories in the city is the daily salary model, which is five cents of silver per day, a bit like the casual workers in later generations who were paid one to two hundred cents per day.
The reason why Mr. Lin Daguan dared to set up a minimum salary system against all opinions was not only to attract skilled workers from the city, but also because he did not have to worry about sales problems for the time being.
With the current scale and output of the silk weaving field, there is no need to think about going beyond the south of the Yangtze River, going nationwide, and selling well overseas.
Even if there is no market, just relying on the key personnel of each unit within the association can digest a lot. After all, behind a thousand people are a thousand households, not to mention the villages and boat households under the control of the association.
To put it bluntly, even if the association cannot digest it internally, there is still another channel for the government to come forward to acquire it.
All in all, the current silk weaving factory can survive without relying on the market at all. Lin Daguan has nothing to worry about. He can just arrange the basic salary system and just concentrate on production.
After the second dragon raises its head in February, the silk weaving factory located in the industrial park on the south bank of the Xujiang River in Mudu Town has started work.
As soon as Lin Daguan had laid the foundation for this matter, he had to rush to the Suzhou Military Transport Branch Office to arrange water transportation matters.
According to the system, in the first two months of spring every year, the grain harvested last year will begin to be transported northward.
As a supervisor of transportation for thousands of households, Lin Daguan was responsible for organizing grain transportation.
Sitting in the lobby of the government office, looking at the two-foot-high account books, Mr. Lin couldn't help but feel sad.
I remember that from September last year to February this year, except for more than half a month before and after the Chinese New Year, the rest of the time was like a nonstop rush, with no time to spare.
How come everything is his own? Could it be that the city of Suzhou cannot function without him, Lin Tailai?
Lin Daguan began to miss the happy days two years ago, when he only had to eat, drink and have fun every day besides fighting and killing.
When did you start to fall into self-internal conflict?
What is the purpose of human life?
Just when Mr. Lin was feeling sorry for himself, Suzhou Guards Commander Li Tianyou condescended to come over to visit him.
"The Health Department has received the red ticket. The new prefect will take office in a few days. We, the Suzhou Guards, will also have to go to Fengqiao to greet them." Commander Li asked, "Do you want to go?"
Lin Daguan replied: "I won't go to welcome you. I am preparing to lead a team to supervise the transportation of the first batch of grain to Yangzhou Shuicicang."
Commander Li condescended to visit, and of course it was not just to ask about such a trivial matter. He also said: "I heard that the new prefect Shi Kunyu is very famous. He is said to be pure and well-known all over the world. He is so honest that he is known as Shi Gangfeng."
Everyone knows that Hai Rui's nickname is Gangfeng, and the nickname Shi Gangfeng almost means "little Hai Rui".
"Lin Qianhu, what do you think?" Commander Li asked again, which was actually a sign of provocation.
Official Lin frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Previously, I thought that the fifteenth year of Wanli would be very peaceful, but then these things came again. It's really that the trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."
Commander Li is a man who is very knowledgeable about officialdom, but he just can't understand the meaning of Lin Daguanren's words.
You can’t blame Commander Li for not being smart. If you weren’t in the dimension of a time traveler, you really wouldn’t be able to understand it.
Commander Li could only guess the disdain Lin Daguan had towards the new prefect from the name "these things".
It's not that Mr. Lin is pretending to be profound, it's that he simply can't explain it clearly, and he can't say it clearly at all.
The newly arrived prefect Shi Kunyu was not well-known in later generations and had no special political achievements. However, in history, he was directly related to Shen Shoufu's resignation.
In the original history, in the 19th year of Wanli, the first assistant Shen Shixing resigned. The reasons were very complicated and could even be said to be the result of a combination of factors, including Shen Shixing himself who did not want to continue working.
The direct trigger for Shen Shixing's resignation was the then Jiangnan governor's attempt to frame the Suzhou prefect, which triggered public outrage among the government and the opposition.
This incident was equivalent to the last straw for Shen Shixing. Under siege, Shen Shixing was completely discouraged and considered leaving.
Shi Kunyu was one of the protagonists of the incident. He was the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture at the time and was the one who was ostensibly framed.
From the perspective of Lin Daguan's conspiracy theory, this incident was full of weirdness, and it was more like a self-directed and self-acted conspiracy by a certain force against Shen Shoufu.
So when seeing the name Shi Kunyu, Lin Daguan certainly had different feelings from others.
Most people lamented that this Shi Kunyu must have a very strong connection to be able to squeeze out Governor Zhong who had been in office for less than a year.
Or they may lament that it will be difficult for Shi Kunyu, whose official reputation is to be upright and upright, to do things that violate laws and disciplines in the future.
In Lin Daguan's mind, the word Shi Kunyu was equated with conspiracy, or a conspiracy against Shen Shoufu.
Official Lin also did not expect that Shi Kunyu came to Suzhou Prefecture three years earlier than the original history to take office.
Thinking of this, Lin Daguan couldn't help but guess, could this be the butterfly effect he brought about?
A certain force has become so intolerable that it launches a conspiracy three years in advance?
Commander Li was like a curious baby today, asking questions endlessly: "Who is this Magistrate Shi from?"
Officer Lin was speechless, "Mr. Li, don't pretend to be stupid. If you don't believe me, you can't tell."
Who else could an official with an inexplicably loud official reputation, no actual achievements, and a nickname like "Little Hai Rui" belong to?
Please give me a monthly pass first, and I will refine the stage concept later!
