Chapter 327 A Centennial Plan
Official Lin did not deceive Mr. Shen. After he left the Shen Mansion, he actually went to the Changzhou County Government Office to visit the county magistrate Yuan Hongdao.
When he was in Yangzhou before, Lin Daguan and Yuan Hongdao communicated by letter, but some things still needed to be discussed in detail in person.
"Didn't your hometown send people to investigate? Where are they?" Lin Daguan asked.
Of course, the Yuan family cannot agree to a big deal that costs tens of thousands of dollars in the first batch and may be traded in the future for a long time. Yuan Hongdao cannot just listen to a word.
Even if Yuan Hongdao is the county magistrate here, it does not mean that there is no risk. After all, the county magistrate is not permanent and will leave office in a few years at most.
Therefore, the Yuan family also needs to conduct a risk assessment and has previously sent people to Suzhou for inspection.
When official Lin asked about this, Zhixian Yuan replied: "The inspection has been completed, let's go!"
Lin Daguan said suspiciously: "You haven't even seen me as a partner. This inspection is too hasty? Are you trying to refuse cooperation?"
At this time, Lin Daguan had already begun to think about where to find a partner with Huguang background if the Yuan family was unwilling to cooperate.
Yuan Zhixian quickly replied: "Don't get me wrong, their inspection was very professional and detailed!
Although they only stayed in Suzhou City for a few days, they learned a lot about your deeds.
For example, they felt it was too long to describe things like bullying and dominating the market, monopolizing money and food, monopolizing projects, seizing fields and houses, and killing and killing.
Later, they randomly selected two houses among the famous girls on the flower list to eat, drink and have fun, and then deliberately did not pay the bill. They reported your name and used me as a guarantee. In the end, the bill was waived. "
Official Lin was puzzled. Is this a commercial inspection or a judicial investigation? How about a little whoring for free? Do you dare to call yourself professional?
Magistrate Yuan continued: "In the end, they were very satisfied with the results of the inspection and believed that you are a collaborator with dominant strength in Suzhou and worthy of doing big business together."
Mr. Lin: "."
As expected of a big grain merchant who could donate two thousand shi in one breath, he was indeed professional in his work.
Now that the cooperation has been confirmed, Lin Daguan emphasized: "When there is a lean period after spring next year, I will use the Jinong warehouse to store grain.
So after this year's autumn harvest, you must transport grain to Suzhou as soon as possible, so as not to delay my plan for next year. "
Seeing that Lin Daguan was so concerned about the Jinongcang, Yuan Hongdao thought about it and reminded him: "When the Jinongcang was first established in the Xuande Dynasty, the method of jointly running it by the government and the people was adopted, but later it gradually became unworkable.
There are many reasons for this, but one of them is that the large households involved in the management and operation of the warehouses continue to subsidize it, which will always become unsustainable over time.
If you take over the Jinongcang, you will indeed have a sense of vanity, but how many years can you continue to subsidize it? "
Lin Tailai said confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Shi, I certainly won't make the same mistake again!
Those subsidies that cannot generate income will certainly not last long and will collapse within a few decades at most.
But in my case, even if I add subsidies to the farmers' warehouse, I can still get benefits from other aspects. "
After all, we are people who have experienced the "primary stage of socialism." How can we still not understand this?
Yuan Zhixian was very curious, how would Lin Tailai solve this problem? He wanted to ask a few more questions, but Officer Lin didn't want to say more and stood up to leave.
So Yuan Zhixian didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked: "What kind of projects will the county government do during the slack season this winter?"
The humanistic dredging project of the ancient Sanjiangkou last year brought benefits to Yuanzhi County, and the inscription is still erected at the ancient Sanjiangkou.
In the future, when scholars see the "Sanjiangkou" in "Shangshu Yu Gong" again, they will connect it with Yuan Hongdao.
Therefore, Yuan Zhixian is thinking about launching another cultural project this year.
Lin Daguanren had never considered this issue before, but now that he was suddenly asked, he didn't have a good idea for a while.
After holding it in for a while, he replied: "How about rebuilding the Canglang Pavilion? No, expanding the Canglang Pavilion!
This is also a historical place. Shi Gong can write "The Record of Rebuilding the Canglang Pavilion in Wanli" and have it engraved in the garden. "
Yuan Hong said: "."
Ask the county government to pay for your garden? What good things are you thinking about?
It was getting late at this time, the city gate was locked, and Lin Daguan could only spend the night in the city.
The next day, after thinking for a while, Officer Lin decided to go to Nancheng for inspection and then leave the city through Panmen.
There are two points in Nancheng, one is Fu Xue. The professor said at the beginning that although you can be as relaxed as possible, it is best to show your face once a month to maintain your superficial skills.
Another point is the Canglang Pavilion that I have longed for. I heard from reports that the relocation and renovation project of Dayun Temple next to Canglang Pavilion has started.
When Lin Daguan came to Nancheng, he looked at the mansion on the east side and the Canglang Pavilion on the west side, and decided to put public affairs first before private affairs.
When I stepped into the gate of Fuxue, I saw twenty or thirty scholars standing scattered in front of Minglun Hall.
"Hey! I'm late! What's going on today?" Mr. Lin approached and greeted loudly.
The scholars turned around and after taking a look, they immediately knew who this person was.
Everyone has extremely complicated feelings about this classmate who has never seen the beginning of the dragon and has been living in urban legends.
I don’t know how to deal with this person, or even whether I should deal with this person.
Locally, the nature of Lin Daguan's influence focused on black and white collusion, and he did not care much about the camaraderie of classmates among scholars.
So Lin Daguan glanced at the crowd, thinking that if he met someone he knew, he would say a few words. If there was no one he knew, he would go see the professor and then leave.
As a result, I found two acquaintances. One was Feng Menglong, a 13-year-old child prodigy who entered school recently and became famous, and the other was Wang Yusheng, a rising star from the Wang family in Dongshan.
What's even more interesting is that these two acquaintances are actually standing together and seem to be socializing.
Lin Daguan walked over curiously, touched Xiao Feng Menglong's head, and asked, "You are an innocent boy from a poor family, how come you get together with such a dandy?"
Wang Yusheng's nose almost became crooked with anger. He, Wang Yusheng, was a gentle scholar, so how could he look like a playboy? Not every child of a wealthy family is a playboy!
Even Xiao Feng Menglong was dissatisfied and felt that Lin Tailai lacked the necessary respect for him. Did he still need Lin Tailai's approval for his social interactions?
Now his status as Feng Menglong is different from before, but he is a child prodigy who passed the scholar examination at the age of thirteen!
In a place like Suzhou City, where the competition for imperial examinations is extremely fierce, the value of a scholar is already very high, let alone a thirteen-year-old scholar!
It's hard to say how high the upper limit of a child prodigy will be in the future, but there is a ready-made example of the lower limit of a child prodigy in the future, and that is Zhang Youyu, a celebrity in Suzhou today.
In other words, he, Feng Menglong, will be a lower-level person at worst in the future.
As the saying goes, don’t bully a young boy who is poor, let alone a young prodigy!
Didn't anyone see him, Feng Menglong, smiling recently? Even Wang Yusheng, the famous Dongshan Wang family, took the initiative to make friends with him.
From this perspective, Lin Tailai really disrespected Feng Menglong.
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng Menglong coughed, raised his head and said in a mature manner:
"Jun Lin! Now that we are all classmates, how can you be so frivolous? You should apologize to Classmate Wang for your inappropriate words."
Official Lin looked at Xiao Feng Menglong in surprise. Is this the second phase of the middle school period?
"Why do you say these things to me?" Lin Daguan asked in confusion.
Xiao Feng Menglong replied seriously: "You received my help during the county and government examinations, and I don't ask for anything in return. How about you just listen to my advice today?"
This "help" refers to the fact that in the dictation part of the exam, Lin Daguan copied the answers from Feng Menglong's test paper.
According to etiquette, this is the favor that Mr. Lin owes Xiao Feng Menglong.
Wang Yusheng, who had always been cheated by Lin Daguan, suddenly felt that he might be able to regain some face today, unless Lin Daguan stopped using etiquette at all.
Then I heard Senior Official Lin saying to Xiao Feng Menglong in surprise: "But I have already repaid you, don't you know?"
Xiao Feng Menglong was puzzled, what kind of reward? Why didn't he know? Could it be that the improvement in father's business as a healer because of Lin Tailai can be regarded as a reward?
So Lin Daguan sighed and said to Xiao Feng Menglong: "It was a cold February in early spring. I met the great master Fang Tixue in Yangzhou City. We hit it off immediately and talked happily.
When I talked about Suzhou scholars, I strongly recommended you to Fang Tixue. At that time, Fang Tixue also agreed and admitted you this year. "
boom! Xiao Feng Menglong's eyes widened, as if there was a thunder in his mind!
His inner lake was like a broken mirror, filled with cracks as dense as a spider web.
Lin Daguan made a fuss and continued: "Oh! I originally thought Fang Tixue was a joke. After all, entering school at the age of thirteen is too early. I didn't expect Fang Tixue to be serious."
Xiao Feng Menglong was dumbfounded and had fallen into a state of confusion.
It turns out that my admission to school did not rely on talent, but still on worldliness.
It turned out that he was admitted as a scholar not because of his outstanding talent, but because of the secret recommendation of others.
Xiao Feng Menglong murmured to himself subconsciously: "I'm not a child prodigy? I'm not a child prodigy?"
Official Lin touched Xiao Feng Menglong's head again and said kindly: "Don't worry, as long as I don't tell anyone, no one will know the inside story, and you will still be a prodigy in the eyes of others.
Besides, with your family’s strength, no one thinks that your family can open up the connection between Fang Ti Xue. "
Then Officer Lin looked at Wang Yusheng next to him, "If the news leaks out, it must be from Mr. Wang."
Wang Yu said: "."
You, Lin Tailai, even bully a thirteen-year-old primary school student, do you have any bottom line?
Feng Menglong, a 13-year-old boy who loves watching "Jin Ping Mei", experienced the dark side of society and the complexity of human nature for the first time in reality.
After coming out of the mansion, Lin Daguan went to the Canglang Pavilion area next door.
But he did not enter the Canglang Pavilion garden, but walked to the old site of Dayun Nunnery next to it.
The reason why it is said to be the old site is because the relocation and renovation project is underway in full swing.
Outside the gate of the old site of Dayun'an, a temporary pavilion was built. Gao Changjiang, the nominal think tank of Lin Group (Xinxinshe), was sitting inside, directing the progress of the project with a distracted look.
"Lao Gao! How is the situation?" Lin Daguan strode into the pergola and asked loudly.
Gao Changjiang replied concisely and concisely: "Everything went well."
Official Lin patted Gao Changjiang's shoulder heavily: "Then who are you showing your drooping donkey face?"
"I don't want to do it anymore!" Gao Changjiang suddenly said forcefully.
As a cultural person, is it reasonable to work as a demolition team and a contractor every day?
Lin Tailai's elder brother Lin Shilai set up two engineering teams last year and accumulated some engineering experience, so it would be more appropriate for Brother Lin to do these projects, right?
Mr. Lin said dissatisfiedly: "You educated people just like to pick and choose about work!
Last year, you were asked to be responsible for publicity, but you were not happy. This year, you were asked to be responsible for real estate projects, but you were still not satisfied."
Gao Changjiang muttered: "Anyway, I don't want to do this anymore."
You can't just call for killing old friends. Mr. Lin sighed helplessly: "Since you don't want to, then don't do this!"
Gao Changjiang didn't expect Lin Tailai to be so easy to talk to, and said happily: "Thank you for your understanding."
Then he felt like something was missing. Gao Changjiang thought hard for a while and finally found the problem. He quickly asked again: "Please tell me what I should be responsible for in the future?"
Mr. Lin put his hands together and looked up at the sky, "Do whatever you want."
Gao Changjiang finally realized that this meant that he had nothing to do.
No! Gao Changjiang shouted in his heart, he has old parents and young children to take care of, and he just bought a new house, how can he be unemployed?
He sat down in the shed again, "I suddenly feel that it is also meaningful to work on the project on site."
Mr. Lin looked at the direction of the Fuxue in the west, and said thoughtfully: "I just went to the Fuxue, and there I suddenly had an idea in my mind."
"What idea?" Gao Changjiang asked. The director never shoots without a purpose, could this idea be related to him?
Mr. Lin replied: "We can set up an academy in the Renewal Society, you can go to preside over the academy, so that you don't have to complain about your talent every day."
Gao Changjiang said puzzledly: "What is a college?"
He understood the meaning of school, which is a general term for official schools such as county schools, Fuxue, and Guozijian.
He also understood the meaning of academy, which has been very popular in recent decades, equivalent to a private school for academic lectures.
But what does the director mean by academy? School plus academy?
Mr. Lin explained: "It is different from schools and academies, and has its own characteristics. It is not based on the Four Books and Five Classics, but on miscellaneous studies. In addition to the most basic literacy, it teaches arithmetic, crafts, business and other subjects." Gao Changjiang thought that it was a fantasy to be a teacher. How could such a so-called college be run? Let's not consider the problem of setting up a new stall and not seeing any returns. Let's just talk about the school itself. Who will teach these miscellaneous studies? Who will come to learn these miscellaneous studies? And what is the way out after learning these? And should we charge fees? If we don't charge, we can't support it, and if we charge, no one will be willing to come. Mr. Lin said arbitrarily: "Education is a long-term plan. For the future of the club, we must launch the college project!" Gao Changjiang thought it was a miracle that the club had not gone bankrupt.
