Chapter 262: Drinking Tea

"What else?" Lin Run asked.

At the same time, they tried to persuade the young people in their middle to stop making trouble and to go home and stay as soon as possible. In order to make them attentive, the lower officials asked the people below to say that they would deal with the lawbreakers who took the opportunity to smash and rob with the 'joint sitting method'. ”

"Hmm. It can be regarded as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, both soft and hard. Lin Run nodded again. None of these methods are wrong, but they are not enough to solve the problem.

"Also. The lower officials requisitioned and transferred 10,000 people to intensify their drills on Xishan Island, in case the situation was out of control, and forcibly entered the city to quell the chaos. ”

When Governor Cai said this, his face was full of the decisiveness of a four-grade master. This is to let Lin Zhongcheng see his grandeur.

"Oh?" Lin Run was taken aback, and immediately thought of the more than 10,000 workers on the island, and couldn't help but secretly scold this guy for being so thick-skinned. Obviously, they are all ordinary people in Kunshan who are hired by Jiangnan Company to work, how did they become the people of the prefect?

"But until the last minute, force should not be used against citizens, even if it is a strong people." Governor Cai is the same as yesterday at this time, and he is completely a good prefect with means, principles, and bottom lines.

I just listened to his words, played his hole cards and said:

In the investigation of the riots, Xia Guan found that the root cause was a huge change in the market environment, and the originally popular silk suddenly became unsalable. The warehouses of the silk merchants were full of unsellable silk, and naturally they could not place orders for weavers. ”

"The weavers had to stop work one after another, and let the long-term hired weavers go home and stay......" Cai Zhifu had asked the reason in detail last night, and it was naturally like seeing it at this time. It's not like those incompetent officials who don't know why they don't eat minced meat.

In a low, sympathetic voice, he described the troublemakers as unemployed weavers with no food and clothing. The tragic situation of their whole family waiting to be fed is vividly described and tear-jerking.

Then Cai Zhifu Fang sighed and said: "These weavers have no permanent production, and the family depends on workmanship to make a living. If you lose your job, your family will starve to death. Without paying attention to their difficulties, the prefect of Xiaguan was really derelict in his duties. ”

"Having said that, now is not the time for accountability." Lin Run waved his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Since you realize the crux of the problem, do you have a way to relieve the weavers?" ”

"Back to Zhongcheng, it's very simple, just let the loom turn again." Cai Guoxi raised his head and said with blazing eyes: "The weavers who are looking forward to resuming work day and night will naturally hurry back to the workshop." The rest of those who are still making trouble in the streets are lawless people who are intent on causing trouble, and they will show no mercy to them! ”

"Well said." Lin Run praised a word, but his heart said but it was still nonsense.

"So how do you get the loom to turn? Cai Zhifu has a trick. "That's the key.

"Back to Zhongcheng. Xia Guan matched the Dongting Chamber of Commerce and Jiangnan Company, hoping that the latter would buy the former's silk. Cai Guoxi replied cheekily.

Yang Chenglin and Zhang Defu behind him were stupid, they didn't expect such a big change to happen overnight.

Jiangnan Company actually took action to support the silk weaving industry in Suzhou!

Lin Run was also taken aback.

He actually thought about it and asked Jiangnan if he could help.

But Lin Zhongcheng's moral bottom line is much higher than that of ordinary officials, and he can't be suspicious of Jiangnan Company while asking others to help bail out.

What's more, Jiangnan Company is engaged in cement production and infrastructure construction, which is completely out of line with the silk business.

He stared at Cai Guoxi and asked, "Then how did Jiangnan Company reply?" ”

Cai Guoxi was sweaty on his forehead by Lin Run's fiery eyes. He wiped the sweat from his palms on his official robe, took out a slash from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands:

"Xiaguan has conducted several rounds of consultations with Jiangnan Company, and this morning came up with a preliminary plan, and asked Zhongcheng to decide."

Of course, he would not tell Lin Run that this consultation had only started this morning.

Cai Zhifu, who grabbed the life-saving straw, agreed to the conditions proposed by Jiangnan Company in one bite.

But it was useless for him to agree, Lin Run didn't nod, it was still in vain.

~~

Lin Run read the short agreement word by word, and then fell into a long thought.

The west wind blows the surface of Taihu Lake. Since the beginning of autumn, the water level has been much lower, and a large area of tidal flats has been exposed at the mouth of the Xujiang River.

There are large numbers of waterfowl that go to the south to spend the winter, chirping and foraging on the river beaches. At the slightest hint of wind and grass, they flew up in groups.

Cai Guoxi is most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.

He admits that Gangnam's demands are a little excessive.

But compared to what they promised, that little bit was nothing in the question!

But Lin Zhongcheng has a strong personality and never compromises, I don't know if he can turn this corner.

Cai Zhifu could only wait silently, and he didn't dare to breathe.

After a long time, Lin Run finally raised his head and asked Cai Guoxi, "Where is Zhao Hao?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a beautiful white sailing ship come into his eyes.

On the deck, Zhao Gongzi wore his signature sunglasses and sat comfortably at the dining table covered with a blue checkered tablecloth.

On the other side of the dining table, there was an ice and snow girl wearing a light green chicken-hearted collar and a white silk bamboo leaf stand-up collar mid-collar.

It was Jiang Xueying, who had just returned from Chongming.

"Lord Zhongcheng came over for tea." Zhao Gongzi, who was sitting on the circle chair, stood up and greeted Lin Run with a smile.

~~

On the Science No., Secretary Ma, who was wearing a beige orchid embroidered round-necked robe and a horse-faced skirt embroidered on a white background, served tea to the visiting Lin Zhongcheng.

Lin Run took a sip of the pink and green glazed tea cup, and glanced at the full set of Southern Song Dynasty official kiln tea sets on the round table, as well as the three-layer dim sum shelf of sterling silver.

couldn't help but laugh at Zhao Hao and said: "Last time I was in Kunshan, I remember that you were quite simple." ”

"My father is a parent official in Kunshan, so of course I have to be more restrained." Zhao Gongzi held the folding fan with the handle of the ivory fan, and said in an inexhaustible manner: "If you leave Kunshan, there is no need to treat yourself harshly." ”

"Hahaha, too." Lin Run couldn't help laughing and said: "People rely on Lao Tzu to loot the people's fat and people's cream, but you turn around and throw money at Kunshan." If it's any more extravagant, I'll suspect you're planning something wrong. ”

"Hahaha! Zhongcheng can rest assured, I will soon become a poor egg. "How shrewd is Zhao Hao, how can he not hear the meaning of the beating in these words?

He unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and sprinkled the gold fan with seven characters written on the surface: 'Helping others is the foundation of happiness'.

It's still the one that goes to Chongming.

Seeing Lin Run's pupils shrink. He shook his head with a wry smile as he blew the foam from the teacup.

Lin Zhongcheng knew that Zhao Hao was reminding himself of how much sacrifice he would pay for Suzhou.

A master has made a move, and he will never be red-faced. Piri Yang in the autumn has already conveyed their respective meanings to each other.
