Three hundred and nineteen chapters Weng son-in-law's resentment
In the early morning of July 15th, in the northeast of Yangzhou City's new urban area, Jin Wanwan was leisurely drinking tea and watching flowers in his home.
The name of this garden sounds very ordinary. It is called Hundred Flowers Garden. Although it is ordinary, it is worthy of its name. There are indeed more than one hundred kinds of flowers. It costs an unknown amount to maintain.
However, what makes Jin Yuanwai feel disappointed is that because the flower periods vary, there are never hundreds of kinds of flowers in full bloom, and no amount of money can buy this.
Mr. Jin was accompanied by an outsider, the old monk Yuanrong from Suzhou. He only heard the Master ask: "What happened yesterday?"
." Master Yuanrong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Li estimates that this person behaves strangely. He seems to be bold, impulsive and unpredictable, which makes people afraid. In fact, there are two clues to be found. One is that he does not take the initiative to do things that are uncertain.
, and the second is that he does not take the initiative to do anything that is not beneficial, and his impulsive behavior is often just his appearance of intimidating others."
"As the saying goes, the world is like a chess game. You will be frightened and cower when you see him act boldly. This is wrong. How can there be victory if you are timid before fighting? As the saying goes, the brave will win when the road is narrow. It is said that the patrols rested together. After the salt flood,
What you may have lost is only part of your official income, but what Li Gui lost was his official position. This is equivalent to a gamble where you put your money and Li Gui's official position. Which one is more important to each of you? Li Gui doesn't know.
Don't fight for your official position to fight to the death with you. If he was such a careless person, he wouldn't be able to sit in the position he is in today." "So you can rest assured, there is a poor monk here, Li Gui will definitely reconcile with you no matter what.
.You have never seen that Li Gui was also a very tolerant person, and he was not always aggressive and aggressive." Yuan Rong didn't know what he thought of, and sighed with emotion while strategizing.
A certain scumbag who defrauded him of his official position in a low-key manner and then ignored him for two years. Three months ago, he took the initiative to come to the door and even kissed his cold butt... This time he will get it back.
Show this scumbag the place.
Jin Yuanwai was thoughtful. This monk really knew Mr. Li very thoroughly. He was definitely well prepared and very confident.
That day, there was a discussion in the Jingyuan Hall of the Xin'an Guild Hall. Most of the salt merchants present felt that the old monk who suddenly appeared just had two good ideas. There was nothing else worthy of their attention, and they were even accustomed to it.
The wealth in the hands of the big salt merchants has extraordinary appeal, and there are always people around who take the initiative to express themselves. They are all for profit, so they are not interested in this monk who takes the initiative to offer advice.
Strange.
But Jin Wanwan is different from ordinary salt merchants. He is a true self-made man. He has made a miraculous transformation from a poor peddler who sold his girls to one of the seven giant merchants in Yangzhou City today. These experiences have tempered him and made him clear and detailed.
Jin Wanwan's eyesight is naturally much better than those rich second-generation salt merchants who made their fortune through hereditary wealth.
What Jin Wanwan noticed was that the old monk Yuanrong claimed to be from Suzhou. This was the biggest strange thing. Since monks claim to be monks, they generally would not take the initiative to report their lay place of origin without being asked.
A Suzhou native came here to trip up his fellow countryman Mr. Li. Could it be that he had been persecuted by Mr. Li and came to seek revenge? Jin Wanwan thought it over carefully and found it very interesting. This person must have known Mr. Li, or at least had a relationship with him.
He probably knows some details about Mr. Li. And he dared to come to Jiangdu County, which means he has something to rely on.
It happened that Jin Wanwan and the county government were at a stalemate over the salt class and classic history matters, which had never been resolved. When he met Master Yuanrong, he began to seek advice. So among the dozen or so people in the room, only Jin Wanwan showed enough sincerity.
, after asking about the origin of the name, he warmly invited Master Yuanrong to live in his house for a while and practice.
However, member Jin certainly would not be blindly gullible, and used some small means to test at home, such as sending a number of beautiful maids to seduce him. However, Master Yuanru, like Liu Xiahui, was not a sèmi, so Jin Wanwan was convinced. It seemed that this person
He's not a charlatan, he has some substance.
After several conversations, Jin Yuanwai discovered that although this monk knew almost nothing about Buddhism, he had an extremely deep understanding of Li Xianzun's character. He was exactly the professional and technical talent he was in urgent need of. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be victorious in every battle.
Moreover, Monk Yuanrong always spoke his name as Li Gu, and he always called him by his first name without using any honorific. His disrespect was palpable, which was enough to show that he was not some undercover agent.
At this time, Jin Wanwan still didn’t know that he might say “Li Gui” instead of “Master Li” in the future, “Li County respects Li Biejia”...
In the garden, Master Yuanrong glanced at Jin Wanwan and continued to explain: "Li Gui, although he does not forget his righteousness for small gains, he definitely does great things and cherishes his own life." Suddenly the conversation changed: "
Donor Jin gives three thousand taels of salt to the county government every year for free, and he pays so much attention to the history and salt patrols. Is he afraid that he has some inside stories? No other gang merchant is as caring as Donor Jin."
The member was listening to the other party's explanation. Li Gu was listening intently, but when he suddenly heard this sentence, he couldn't help but lost his voice: "The Master is also familiar with the affairs of the secular people?" He quickly changed his words: "The Master is joking, I am a businessman, and I have a good relationship with the local people."
It's common sense." At the same time, in the county government office, Li Gui was still looking at the petition document for the anti-salt patrol and thinking hard.
He thought deeper. Now he was trying to build up a reputation among his native people little by little, using this as a basis to suppress Huizhou merchants. However, these hundreds of patrols were all locals. If not handled properly, would it affect him?
The overall situation? I have always ignored this point before, but it was a small mistake.
Judging from previous movements, those salt merchants should have been frightened by their own daring actions, and they also had the troops of the garrison department, so the salt merchants did not have the courage to confront them head-on. The officials they trained with money were far away.
Water can't quench the immediate thirst, so we can only fight in a roundabout way through other yamen in Jiangbei. Why is it unusual this time?
How to resolve it? One way is to use deception, pretending to be coaxed and appeased first, and then using the force of the autumn wind to fall leaves, quickly replace the patrols with the camp soldiers. However, after thinking about it, there are always some troubles, and there is a large population.
Destroy your own credibility.
When he was thinking of a solution, the head of the express delivery department was led into the room by Zhang San and said, "Sir, there was an official document sent to Huai'an Prefecture from the Yamen a quarter of an hour ago!"
It turns out that each county has the responsibility to establish and manage inns and express shops according to the system. Accommodation is at the inn, and official documents rely on the express shop, which is commonly known as the inn.
This is based on geographical location. The express delivery shop on the ground in Jiangdu County is of course managed by the Jiangdu County government office. Since the government office is located in Jiangdu County, official documents are naturally delivered through the express delivery shop in Jiangdu County.
Mr. Li has already said hello that if the government office has any unusual official documents recently, he will report them. Although he does not dare to risk beheading his head by intercepting the documents, it is good to at least know where they are going. The cover of the official documents from the government office is always
Just indicate where it is sent to.
When he heard the news coming from the express delivery shop, Li Gui quickly asked: "Which yamen is it for? The governor?" "Xuedao yamen!"
Why is it the Xuedao Yamen? Li Gu was puzzled for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the man named Luo in the Yamen had the idea of borrowing his teacher to help suppress the enemy!
In one country, the only person with the final power to make decisions on imperial examination matters is the great master of academic affairs in Xuedao Yamen. He is called the deputy envoy of Tixue in each province and the censor of Tixue in the two capitals. This power is not limited to other local officials.
Interference, even Li Gui cannot disobey.
At this time, Jiangbei's Tixue Censor was stationed in Huai'an Prefecture to conduct examinations in various counties, and was in charge of the examination to admit talents. The official document from the government office was obviously sent to Tixue Censor.
Li Guang could conclude that Magistrate Luo must be planning to ask Tixue Yujia to condescend to come and take charge of the county examination in Jiangdu County.
What does this mean? The county examination is supposed to be the power of the county government. No matter who takes the exam, the county government that loses its power will lose face. This is what Magistrate Luo has planned.
The county government dared to challenge the government government on the county examination issue, and it was barely reasonable. Li was able to send soldiers to forcibly occupy the examination room. But if the top person in charge of the imperial examination of one party, the academic officer, personally pressed Linjiang
Duxian presides over the county examination, so what qualifications does the county government have to compete with the academic officials?
Don’t forget, all the children in the county must pass the exam before they can be admitted as scholars. Scholars can only pass the provincial examination presided over by the academic officer. Therefore, the county government does not have any capital to compete with the academic officer on imperial examination matters.
Will the academic officer come? Li Gu is not familiar with him and is very unsure.
From the perspective of the imperial examination, it is quite uncoordinated for the academic officer known as the Grand Master to come to preside over the county examination. People write that they are the ones who produce talented people and promote people, so coming to the county to select children would be a loss of status, and if word spread, it would lose the dignity of the master.
From an economic point of view, when the wealthy and prosperous city of Yangzhou takes the imperial examination, whoever they want can be selected. It is a very random and basically risk-free county examination. Who doesn’t want to come? For the future college examinations and provincial examinations, even if the great master is now
He only presides over the county examination, and the rich people also have to follow the standards of the college examination and the township examination to gain a foothold.
What's more, the children named by the Grand Master, are they ordinary children? In the next step of the government examination and the college examination, will they not receive some care?
Moreover, this time he was invited by the government. If the academic official came here in the name of resolving the imperial examination disputes in the county, it would be justified and no one would be able to fault him.
The more Li Gui thought about it, the more likely he felt that it was very possible. Most people would definitely come to Yangzhou City if they encountered such an opportunity. Would he still lose his right to be the examiner of the county examination?
Thinking back to the previous incident with the salt merchant, Mr. Li suddenly felt a headache. As expected, neither of them was a fuel-efficient lamp. When he thought that both sides were being suppressed by him, they actually rose up to resist one after another, and inadvertently developed a trend of echoing each other.
Chao Lin, an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Housing, reported: "I have investigated on the orders of the Grand Master and found out that the patrol letter does contain evidence that Meng Gongming and Meng secretly colluded with each other. There are also rumors that battalions will be used to replace patrols, so the public sentiment is unstable."
Is that Jin Wanwan's idea?" Li Gui asked, everyone knew that Meng Dianshi was Jin Wanwan's cousin-in-law.
"At the beginning of the month, when the salt merchants gathered together to discuss your affairs, an old monk from other places came up with advice and got into trouble with you. Later, this monk was invited to his home by Jin Wanwan, and I'm afraid he has something to do with it." Chao Lin is a local snake after all.
, inquire into the details of the information as much as possible.
"Where did the six-root-impure monk come from?" Chao Lin recalled carefully. "I heard that his Buddhist name is Yuanrong."
Li Gu was shocked! Yuanrong seemed to be his father-in-law's name after he became a monk. Is there such a coincidence in the world that there are monks with the same name and about the same age? But looking at these slanderous ideas, they are his usual style, and they are probably unmistakable.
This old man is really full of food. How can he be a father-in-law like this? The older he gets, the more childish he becomes, Mr. Li complained in his heart.
But when he thought about it, he suddenly felt that God was helping me, and this was the opportunity! He immediately issued an order to summon the honor guard, and Zhang San ran over and asked, "Where are you going, master?" "Go to Jin Yuan's residence to recognize your father!" Li
The estimate contains a pun.
Chao Sili, who had not yet left, picked his ears and thought he was hearing something.!
