Chapter 342 Stop pretending (please give me your monthly vote!)
The others were still in a daze, and only the shouts of Lin Daguan's people echoed in the lobby, slightly waking everyone up.
Most of the people here are professionals in the salt industry, and of course they know what "Kaizhong" means.
To put it simply, it is to transport grain to border towns and then exchange it for salt, which is called Kaizhong method.
But that was all from the old calendar a hundred years ago! The Kaizhong Law was abolished a hundred years ago! Then it was gradually changed to the current nest system, which relies on money to be exchanged for salt!
Who would have thought that the policy of opening China to France would be taken out of the old pile of old papers and used again!
Transporting 20,000 shi of rice to the disaster area and then exchanging it for 5,000 shi of rice. Isn't this a routine similar to the Chinese method?
But does this have anything to do with Lin Tailai? It probably does, right?
Even if there is no evidence, but things are so coincidental, it can’t really be a coincidence, right?
After recovering from the shock, the salt merchants' brains finally started functioning again.
The first person to react was Zheng Zhiyan. He pointed at Lin Tailai angrily and shouted: "Wuxian Jinongcang is yours!"
Lin Tailai glanced at Member Zheng and retorted sternly: "Don't spread rumors just by opening your mouth! How can Jinongcang say that it's me, Lin Tailai?"
Then he said to everyone: "I would like to inform everyone that the Wuxian Ji Nong Warehouse is a large-scale public welfare storage warehouse under the guidance of the government government, jointly owned by the county government and local gentry and people, and jointly run by the government and the people!
The main partner of the private side is called Lin Shilai. Although his name is very similar to my Lin Tailai, he is really not me!
So rumors only stop with the wise, don’t be deceived by rumors!”
Originally, it was okay if Lin Daguan didn't explain, and others couldn't see the connection for a while.
But after the explanation, others became more certain that Jinongcang in Wu County was controlled by Lin Tailai!
Who would have thought that such a farming warehouse, which loses money every year and cannot be run in most places, would be used by Lin Tailai as a tool to apply for special policies from the imperial court!
After clarifying this point, looking back on Lin Daguanren's previous actions, it seems that there are reasonable explanations.
For example, last time I brought thugs to the Salt Transportation Department to fight, causing fights and disrupting the bidding, in order to delay the imperial court's issuance of this edict.
Zheng Zhiyan, who was determined to win the Five Thousand Yinwo, was completely confused and looked at Fei Yunshi at a loss.
He only hopes that Fei Yunshi can still help him. After all, Fei Yunshi is destined to have a share of the benefits he seeks!
But Fei Yunshi thought more than the salt merchants. As a bureaucrat, he was very familiar with the procedures of officialdom and the court. He discovered the subtleties in this and subconsciously said: "How come it is so fast!"
From Lin Tailai understanding the inside story of Wuqian Yinwo, to sending the news back to Wu County, and then to Wu County submitting a memorial to the imperial court.
All the processes are going down, even if there are people in the DPRK pushing it, it shouldn’t be so fast!
Under normal circumstances, no matter how fast it is, it will take a few days to wait, so the speed of this process is indeed a little bit wrong.
Official Lin shouted: "Sir Yun, please don't deliberately change the subject. Just tell us what we should do now that Yun Si has broken the contract!"
He would not say it out loud. He carried with him several blank official documents from Suzhou Prefecture, Wuxian County, and Suzhou Wei, and they were all stamped with large seals in advance.
If you encounter a need, just write one directly and save several days!
Fei Yunshi felt that he was really shameless today and said impatiently: "This result was decided by the imperial court. If you have any objections, go to the imperial court!"
Lin Daguan retorted: "The Salt Transportation Department, as the yamen in charge of the Lianghuai Salt Industry, should always be responsible for calming the emotions of merchants after an accident.
This is called sharing the worries of the imperial court, and it is also the responsibility of the Transportation Secretary! You can’t just collect money and do nothing else!"
There was no point in sitting in the lobby! Fei Yunshi shouted: "Quit!"
Then he ignored Lin Tailai, stood up, turned around and left!
Official Lin shouted to Fei Yunshi's back: "If you don't give me an answer today, I'll come back tomorrow! Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows!"
Fei Yunshi: "."
If it were any other salt merchant, they would never dare to have such an attitude towards the Salt Transport Envoy. Even if they suffered a loss, they would have to swallow their anger and never make the Salt Transport Envoy unhappy again.
But Lin Daguan is definitely not an ordinary person. As long as he is reasonable, he has enough force to execute his will and safeguard his own interests.
Not only does the literary world need force, but the business world also needs force.
After watching the shipping agent disappear behind the screen, Lin Daguan looked at the dozen or so big salt merchants who were in shock, as if they were looking at a bunch of rubbish.
He said calmly: "I originally planned to accept my identity as an ordinary merchant, but what I got in exchange was hostility and ridicule from you.
Is it important to have a few bad money? If you stop pretending, I can get the nest egg without any money!"
Salt merchants: "."
If you, Lin Tailai, had not brought hundreds of "housekeepers" with you, had not sent hundreds of Suzhou Cao troops to Yangzhou, and were one foot shorter in height and several hundred kilograms weaker in strength, we salt merchants would dare to let you down
You, Lin Tailai, can't walk out of Yangzhou City alive!
Official Lin was a little tired and left the Salt Transportation Department.
Wu Tianshi was like a little daughter-in-law, following Lin Daguan step by step, with admiration in her eyes.
If these five thousand baits are obtained, plus the twelve thousand "rented" before, the total number of salt baits actually controlled will reach seventeen thousand!
This number ranks among the top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou City today.
Since the implementation of the nest capital system, the current total nest capital of Huaiyan is only 700,000 yuan.
From hardware to software, such a heroic figure is so powerful and domineering that Wu Tianshi is secretly attracted to him.
How can you compare that husband who abandons his wife and children when something happens and only hides in the salt field?
Official Lin didn't know what Wu Tian was thinking, so he returned to the mansion unhurriedly and prepared to rest.
"Secretary Bai, it's getting late, let's go in and rest." Lin Daguan greeted.
The word "secretary" has been around since ancient times, and Lin Daguan decided to use it directly from the past to the present. I feel that it is more exciting this way.
Bai Yan looked at the sun, which was just slightly to the west. Is this called "it's not early"?
"You are so lucky as a high-ranking official. The court actually agrees with your idea, high-ranking official." Secretary Bai said without any words.
Lin Tailai said casually: "This is not some kind of luck. The court will definitely agree. Everything is under control and there is no luck."
This aroused Secretary Bai's curiosity, "Why are senior officials so confident?"
Lin Daguan smiled and said: "There are five main reasons and ten small reasons. Let's go into the house and go to bed and talk about it slowly."
While they were chatting, they suddenly heard Secretary Bai's maid standing outside the door, reporting softly: "Commander Wan of the Yangzhou Guard is sitting in the front hall. He must see the master!"
"Damn! This guy named Wan's nose is sharper than a dog's!" Lin Daguan cursed with an arrow on his bow.
When I talked to Commander Wan last time and said that we wanted to clean up the Salt Service Yamen together, Commander Wan hesitated uncomfortably and said that he might have to go out to other places.
And today, I just had a "big victory" in the Salt Transportation Department, and this guy came to visit me right away. Can I be more flexible?
In fact, Senior Officer Lin was very tired today and originally did not want to go out to meet the guests. But he thought again that Commander Wan was still of great use, so he had no choice but to let go of the secretary.
When he appeared in front of Commander Wan, Lin Daguan deliberately put on a face and said casually:
"Didn't you say a while ago that there was a big flood in Huanghuai during the Spring Flood, and you might have to personally lead our army to Huai'an Mansion to provide support?"
Commander Wan replied enthusiastically: "I am not the only military attache in Yangzhou Guard, it would be the same if someone else leads the team!
After thinking about it, the cooperation with Brother Lin is more important!"
Lin Tailai was very surprised and said: "What cooperation? What cooperation do I have with you?"
Commander Wan said with a smile on his face: "Look, noble people really forget things. Didn't we say last time that we should deal with the Salt Patrol Censor together?"
Lin Tailai said indifferently: "But I have already obtained the five thousand new nests. Why do I need to deal with the Salt Patrol Censor?"
"No!" Commander Wan, a greasy middle-aged man, almost screamed, "Didn't we make an agreement to let the Yangzhou Guards replace Yan Ding? I will do whatever my brother says!"
It turned out that he felt unclear, so he needed to be cautious, but now he can no longer be cautious!
If you continue to be cautious, you may not even be able to drink the soup!
Lin Daguan sighed and said, "But you didn't even help with the fight for the nest."
Commander Wan suspected that he had been PUAd.
Lin Tailai first said that they would settle the fight for five thousand Yin nests with the Salt Patrol Censor together, and then he took care of the Yin nest alone, so now he can blame himself for not helping.
"Brother, I have more than 100 kilograms of meat right here. It's up to you to do with it!" Commander Wan didn't want to resist PUA anymore and just lay down and said.
Lin Daguan asked with satisfaction: "I originally wanted to get along with you as an equal as a partner, but you can't keep up with me.
Stop pretending, do you have children under five years old? Do you mind getting married?"
Commander Wan quickly said: "Yes! At this age, I have a son and a daughter. No matter what you do, brother, they can match each other!"
Lin Tailai was speechless. Why did these words sound familiar?
"I heard that brother, you had two new sons last year? What about my little daughter?" Commander Wan said tentatively.
Official Lin responded: "My son wants to marry the granddaughter of the chief minister."
The despised Commander Wan: "."
PUA, definitely PUA again.
Lin Daguan smiled and said, "But my second brother may settle in Yangzhou in the future. He does have a four-year-old daughter."
Commander Wan said without hesitation: "I am a worthless boy, and I would like to ask the daughter of the Lin family to be my wife."
Lin Daguan smiled and said: "How can it be useless? I have learned divination, and I just calculated with my fingers that my second brother, a good son-in-law, should be able to serve as a guerrilla in the Salt Army in twenty years!"
Commander Wan understood clearly that if the Yangzhou Guards and troops were allowed to replace the salt workers in the transportation department, branch offices, salt fields, checkpoints, and batch inspection offices, then these people would be handed over to the younger son who was sent to the Lin family as his son-in-law.
So he also smiled and said: "Whether it can be successful or not depends on your support, brother."
Anyway, the wealth will not go to outsiders. Even if the younger son becomes the son-in-law of the Lin family, his surname will still be Wan, which is not a loss!
Is there still a monthly pass? You have to give me a chance to catch up...
