The position of Zhang Zhen, the governor of Liangguang, has undoubtedly become extremely embarrassing, not to mention having lost a battle, and now he has to be restrained by Hu Zongxian, and his power and status have undoubtedly been cut by a large margin.

On the other hand, Lin Haoran is fully responsible for the mining affairs in Guangdong, and his power covers the entire Guangdong region. He was ordered to deal with the Guangdong mining affairs, and if any local official dared not cooperate, and the hat of blocking the emperor's errand would be deducted, who could bear it?

As for the military and political system, Lin Haoran was originally the supreme commander in charge of coastal military defense, and coupled with a good relationship with Huang Hui, even if the general army of the two Guangxi and Guangxi had to sell some face to Lin Haoran.

In particular, Lin Haoran's rewards and punishments were clear, which won him the support of middle and lower-level sergeants, but the upper-level generals did not dare to offend this big man, which can be described as Ling Da Zhengxing.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Haoran proposed to the imperial court to add two generals, Hui and Chao, on the grounds of resisting the Japanese, and Shi Huashan was undoubtedly his confidant, and he tried his best to cooperate in the specific transfer.

In this way, Lin Haoran has a faint posture to surpass Zhang Zhen, and his influence in Guangdong is almost unmatched.

Time came to the golden autumn and August in the blink of an eye, although Zhang Lian seemed to be in full swing at the junction of the three provinces, sharpening his knife and preparing to encroach on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but it could not affect the thriving city of Guangzhou on the bank of the Pearl River.

Since Haojing Wharf has become a window to the outside world, workshops in Guangzhou City have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and many goods from outside the province have gathered in this famous city, making Guangzhou City more prosperous.

The officials and officials here are loyal to their duties, and there is a rare new atmosphere of political clarity.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a four-grade official uniform, sat in front of the desk in the signing room, seemingly seriously handling all kinds of official business.

Thanks to the expanded horizons of later generations, coupled with Lin Haoran's intelligence, there is a stability and maturity that is inconsistent with his youth, and he is even more handy at the work at hand, handling things in an orderly manner.

The magistrate Yan Junyan replied to the previous homicide, but sighed slightly: "Lord Fuzun, this is really like a tiger, and it is like a sheep!" ”

This official refers to the scribe, and the order refers to the county order, but there is a rare situation where the county order is afraid of the scribe.

The incident happened in Xin'an County, and the scribe in the county town killed the son of Ku Zhi San, and the bitter lord sued the Xin'an County Ya, but Xin'an Zhi County did not dare to take care of it. Ku advocated that the third went to the Guangzhou Mansion to petition, and Lin Haoran asked the magistrate Yan Junyan to conduct an investigation, which gave justice to the bitter master.

"Now as long as you have money to pay it, you can become a scribe, and this scribe usually has a backstage behind him, backed by a group of squires, and the scribes also collude with each other. Xin'an Zhi County is from a high background, and the hands and feet are not clean, so it is inevitable that you will be afraid of your hands and feet, and you will naturally not be able to achieve the word justice! Lin Haoran said lightly while looking at the file.

"The lower official has been taught!" Yan Junyan found that this was indeed the case, so he respectfully bowed.

But at this time, a scribe came in and asked to see Master Pan Jitao outside.

"Pan Xunpress? Didn't you make an appointment for noon? Hurry up and invite him in! Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, and a confused expression appeared on his face.

After all these days, the sweet potato field in the back garden has entered the fruiting stage, and he has fulfilled his promise on that day. A few days ago, I sent out invitations, wanting to invite all of you to the government office to witness the sweet potato harvest.

Although Yan Junyan was also puzzled and didn't understand why Pan Xunji arrived so early, he left with a lot of interest.

Pan Jitao was born in poverty, and he has worked as a local magistrate, and now he is holding the position of a patrolman, with the skill and determination to do things. Since taking office in March, he has been visiting various places and redressing the grievances of many people.

Following Yan Junyan at the door, he walked directly into the study with a slight bow, and hurriedly saluted Lin Haoran, who greeted him: "Xiaguan has seen Lin Futai!" ”

"Pan Xun, please take a seat!"

Although Lin Haoran is six levels higher than Fan Jitao's rank, Pan Jitao is in the monitoring system, and now he is patrolling for the Son of Heaven, but his status is very transcendent, so he naturally has to be courteous.

"Lin Futai, please!"

From his appointment to the present, Pan Jitao has not shown an aggressive posture, but has always maintained a respectful attitude towards Lin Haoran.

At first, it was because of the arrival of the new official, and Lin Haoran's future was undoubtedly far above him, but with the inspection of various counties in Guangzhou and Leizhou Mansion, he respected Lin Haoran from the bottom of his heart.

He is a person who has been a county magistrate, and he knows that it is not easy to manage a place, it is not easy to make a place prosperous, and it is even more difficult to win the love of the local people, but Lin Haoran has done it all.

"Pan Xunpress, I'm afraid you came here so early for other things, right?" Lin Haoran asked people to serve tea and asked bluntly.

"Not bad! Xia Guan is here for another matter, please Lin Futai take a look! Pan Jitao took out a manuscript and solemnly handed it to Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran took a manuscript suspiciously, but saw that it read "Junping Lijia Law".

Lijia is a rural grassroots organization in the Ming Dynasty, with 110 households as a mile, a mile is divided into 10 Jia, and the chief and the first are set up. As the name suggests, this is to let each mile and each jia achieve "evenness".

If we say what is the biggest crux of the current Ming Dynasty, it is undoubtedly that the current society reveals "injustice" everywhere, so there is a folk song in Guangdong: "The rich get the land and the poor pay rent, and the old rent pays new debts every year."

Pan Jitao obviously saw this problem, and what is even more commendable is that he also came up with a solution.

In the Junping Li Jia Law, he set the content of the original conscription into three categories: one is called the annual office, including 30 items; the second is the quota office, including 22 items; Three are miscellaneous, including 6 items. All such levies shall be levied in silver and shall no longer be assigned, and whether they are in charge or sent by persons, they shall be procured and hired from the "equal" silver levied.

This method is actually a conversion of conscription into payment, and it can also be regarded as a trial version of the "one whip law".

"I went from place to place, and in some places I had to give a very simple hospitality, but I had to levy conscription in various places, so that the people left their farm work, and some people in remote areas took days to come and go. It is far better to follow the example of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to collect flat silver, and the government uses silver to hire people, which is efficient and time-saving, and there are all kinds of disturbing actions! Pan Taming Ji said eloquently.

Lin Haoran put this plan on the table, history has not changed, this later generation of famous ministers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang still brought Zhejiang's "Junping Silver" to Guangdong, but asked seriously: "Has Lord Pan ever looked for Lord Fantai?" ”

"Nope! I plan to try out the "Junping Lijia Law" in Xiangshan County first, and I also ask Lin Futai to help! Pan Jitao shook his head, and looked at Lin Haoran with longing eyes to explain his intentions.

Obviously, he was about to be disappointed, Lin Haoran shook his head slowly.
