Far from the imperial court, too many of the officials in Guangdong who were assigned to official positions here had no background. Even if you want to befriend the Beijing officials, you have the heart but are powerless, and the chance of returning to the capital is quite slim.

Seeing that Lin Haoran was about to soar, both officials and officials came to visit with gifts, so they were familiar. Even if you can't get Lin Haoran's support, you will come to the capital to find a way, and you can have a guide.

Lin Haoran is well versed in the truth that officials need to be slippery, and he also met with these visiting officials, big and small, one by one. Due to the too many officials who visited, Wang Bai and Xiao Xu all came to join in the fun, and finally chose to hold a banquet in the United Restaurant.

"Lin Fucheng, don't be polite this time, please be sure to take a seat!"

At the opening of the banquet, Wang Bai took the initiative to give up the first seat, and several officials next to him also echoed.

Although Lin Haoran was not directly transferred back to the central department, in the eyes of the magistrate, the position of Shuntianfu already belonged to the category of Jingguan, which was related to the transcendent status of Shuntianfu.

Although it is the jurisdiction of the Northern Zhili, the Shuntianfu is an extremely independent yamen, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the three divisions of the Northern Zhili, and has the right to accept cases nationwide.

Among the Beijing officials of the fourth grade, Shuntian Mansion Cheng is naturally an inconspicuous existence. However, with Lin Haoran's age advantage, and he has shown strong governance ability in both Leizhou Mansion and Guangzhou Prefecture, there is no possibility of replacing Shuntian Mansion Yin.

If you can use this promotion to enter the sequence of the three officials, you will be a servant of the six departments, and even if you are released, you will be a governor figure, and your future will undoubtedly be far stronger than that of Wang Bai and others.

"Wang Gong, you are tormenting the lower officials! If Wang Gong thinks that Xia Guan has been disrespectful recently, please sit down first, and Xia Guan will punish himself with three cups! Lin Haoran did not get carried away, and still chose to put the position under Wang Bai.

Wang Bai felt that there was light on his face, but he said helplessly: "Then the father will continue to rely on the old and sell the old!" ”

Lin Haoran did not have the shelf of a Beijing official, and did not mean to despise these local officials, and the officials had the heart to stammer with him, so this banquet was very enjoyable.

During the banquet, some officials who will go to Beijing next year to resume their posts also made an appointment, and the reunion in Beijing at that time made these officials feel and excited too much, and their hearts also fell.

I also drank a lot of wine, but when I was at the end of the party, I still went to the back clubhouse.

Yang Chunlai and others are all waiting here, and Liang Lianying and other joint second generations are also behind their parents, and they are both excited and a little disappointed.

For Lin Haoran to be transferred back to the capital to serve as the Shuntian Mansion, they were naturally reluctant. With Lin Haoran here, it is more convenient for them to act, and they can always get Lin Haoran's correction.

At the moment when Lin Haoran left, they seemed to have suddenly lost their backbone, and they were even a little confused about the future.

However, they also knew in their hearts that as the plate of the United Business Group grew larger, they not only had to build a stronger network of relationships in Guangdong officialdom. At present, Lin Haoran entered Beijing to pursue higher power, which is undoubtedly the best result.

If they were only a merchant group with hundreds of thousands of taels of assets, the local forces would still be able to cover them. If it reaches millions, or even millions of taels, then it is necessary to establish power in the court.

Like why Huaiyan can be so domineering, like Guangdong salt is crowded in Guangdong, which is a third of an acre, but he can exclusively enjoy more than seventy percent of the market in the entire Ming Dynasty, it is not that they have people in the imperial court.

At present, the United Business Group has such wealth, and the wealth will only accumulate more and more, and the general will even have to weigh the wealth by tens of millions. It would be foolish not to know how to build up power to protect one's own interests and safety.

As such, they followed Lin Haoran's advice.

Not only let their qualified children and nephews enter the academy to study hard, but also cultivate some qualified scholars, so that they can enter the court, in order to be used for themselves in the future.

Whether it is Leizhou Mansion, Guangzhou Mansion, or even Chaozhou Mansion, they have successively established United Academies and built reading libraries for free borrowing. For students with excellent qualifications, they provide financial support in their own names, so that they can concentrate on their studies.

The effect of these measures is also obvious. For example, among the 75 people in this new department, more than 10 have something to do with the United Business Group, and five of them are scholars directly trained by the United Academy.

"Lord Lin!"

"Lord Lin!"

……

Seeing Lin Haoran's arrival, Yang Chunlai and the others also stood up to greet each other, their eyes full of respect.

In a few months, Lin Haoran will only be twenty-one years old, but he is already a fourth-grade Beijing official of the Ming Dynasty. In time, Lin Haoran entered the cabinet to pay respects, which is already a very normal thing.

It's just such a big man, but he is closely connected with them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all heard about the promotion of this official!" Lin Haoran sat down in the first seat and said seriously.

Yang Chunlai and the others nodded, and sincerely congratulated: "We have all heard about it, I wish you a bright future and prosperous official luck!" ”

"We're all our own people, don't talk about it!" Lin Haoran waved his hand and continued sincerely: "We have already made a plan for the transfer of this official from Guangdong, and it can be regarded as a rainy day!" ”

Prior to this, Lin Haoran divided the joint business group into several large parts and handed them over to different people to be responsible.

Weng shopkeeper is in charge of the joint workshop, Gu Qingfeng is in charge of Yipin sauce, Yang Chunlai is in charge of the United Restaurant, Shen Liuye is in charge of the United Shipyard, Huang Dafu is in charge of the United Salt Industry, Liang Yi is in charge of the United Iron and Steel, Hua Yingrong is in charge of the United Silver Horn, etc., each industry is in charge of special people, and a professional financial team has been established.

"It's a blessing for us to be so far-sighted!" Liang Yi said sincerely.

Lin Haoran nodded slightly, and then said: "Our next situation will become complicated, I, the Shuntian Mansion Yin, have no direct jurisdiction over Guangdong, and my future career is also full of variables, and you need to work together to face the difficulties here!" ”

"Don't worry, sir! If there really is an unsightly official who dares to touch our joint business group, I, Huang Dafu, will carry a knife and kill him! Huang Dafu patted his chest angrily and said.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Fugui said: "Don't block the adult's heart!" We are legitimate businessmen, not bandits, and we must not fall into this kind of handle unless we have to! ”

"Didn't I say when things were the worst?" Huang Dafu hurriedly added.

Lin Haoran took a sip of tea and glanced at them. I'm not very worried that there are bigwigs who dare to fight the idea of the United Business Group, even if it is Zhang Zhen, the governor of Liangguang, he has no ability to dare to attack the United Business Group.

Today's United Business Group not only has an official network, but also has a lot of influence in the military and government of Guangdong, as well as a strong overseas force. In particular, the Luzon base already has a fleet large enough to sweep the South Seas.

Lin Haoran made arrangements for the joint business group, and while performing their duties, they also set up a board of directors system.

With Hu Niu, a wild girl, as the honorary chairman, and Yang Chunlai as the executive director, each family occupies a seat on the board, and all major matters must be voted on by the board of directors.

It only took two days for Lin Haoran to say goodbye to the officials, officially resigned as the prefect of Guangzhou and the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Patrol Channel, and returned the heavy copper seal.

Although he had a place to stay in the city of Guangzhou, he did not stay long, but chose to leave the city of Guangzhou on the same day. However, instead of going north along the post road, he headed west.
