Chapter 266: Thriving

After Yu Tuiguan was taken down by Shang Weizheng, he was suspended from all his duties and was detained in the custody of the procuratorate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Poor Yu Tuiguan had no support, and after being taken to the procuratorate, he told him that he should not be allowed every day, that the earth was not spiritual, and that no one rescued him.

Lin Yanchao and the members of the Wenlin Society jointly reported the 18 counts against the officials, more than half of which were for collusion with Maosheng Qianzhuang.

After beating Yu Tuiguan, Maosheng Qianzhuang was also investigated, and Lin Yanchao united with the merchants who were originally occupied by him to sue the government.

On the day of the complaint, dozens of people wearing Confucian shirts, as well as hundreds of business owners and their families, went to the government office to submit the complaint.

The Tongzhi Lord, who was temporarily vacant, and the three general judgments of the government office, were a little frightened, how long had it been since there had been such a scholar in Fujian, and the merchants appealed collectively. If this handling is not careful, it is easy to be impeached by the people's rebellion and the imperial history.

The crime of Yu Tuiguan has been personally decided by the Inspector Yu Shi Shang.

But for the case of Maosheng Qianzhuang, it is not easy for the Tongzhi Lord to judge, after all, Maosheng Qianzhuang is still quite profound, and the energy of a local boss cannot be ignored.

Maosheng Qianzhuang also launched a counterattack, using his own relationship to fight with Lin Yanchao and them.

The lawsuit lasted for several months, but the government had no result, and the Tongzhi simply pushed it to the prosecutor. The proclamation is in a dilemma for the prosecutor, and it is not appropriate to deal with it rashly.

It was not easy for Fujian to judge the case rashly, so he used a procrastination trick.

The lawsuit dragged on for a long time, and after the death of the last Zhishi's inspector, Maosheng lost its biggest backer.

Maosheng Qian Zhuang finally admitted defeat, spit out all the profits it had eaten and occupied, and sold all its property in the provincial capital, and left the provincial capital in disgrace, and has been in a slump ever since. As for Yu Tuiguan, it didn't end well. After the spring of the sixth year of Wanli, he was stripped of his official position by the imperial court and demoted to a commoner.

In this lawsuit, the Lin family finally won a big victory.

At the beginning, several merchants who were encroached upon by Maosheng Qian Zhuang recovered their original assets, and they couldn't help but be grateful to the Lin family.

As for the Lin family, they also got a pawnshop from the downfall of Shengmao Money. A crude medicine shop came, and it was finally not in vain.

This pawnshop is located on Beimen Street, next to Fuzhou Fuzhi.

The store has three rooms, two floors up and down, and it is more magnificent than the original silver shop.

Opening a pawnshop in the folk can be described as making money every day, but it is also easy to be feared by others, so it must be rich and powerful, and at the same time, both black and white must be eaten.

The Lin family has both of these points. This pawnshop opened soon, and on the day of the opening, Lin Yanchao gave a plaque of 'sincerity-based' to the third uncle.

In line with the principle of consistent kindness, the third uncle's Lin Kee pawnshop has set the rule of 'reducing profits in winter', that is, reducing interest rates for one month every winter.

As for Lin Ji Pharmacy, Lin Yanchao set the policy of 'Yes Nai Ren Shu'.

This quote comes from Mencius. King Liang Hui, the original sentence 'The healer is the art of benevolence.' ’

According to the rules, one day a month is set aside. For the poor people, free medical treatment and medicine.

Operation of pawnshops and pharmacies. It seems that it will lose a little money, but now the Lin family has passed the primitive accumulation of capital, and it is time to make a fortune.

However, in this way, Lin Ji's reputation has spread out, and he has a good reputation among the people, but more people are willing to come to the door.

Lin Yanchao divided the shares of the pawnshop, and the two components grew into the Chen family. The Chen family, who was born in the maritime business, is Lin Yanchao's big financier, and he has two achievements for Cheng Yuanwai, and his own family accounts for sixty percent.

Seeing that the business was booming, in order to prevent it from happening, Lin Yanchao also recruited twenty young men from the Changle Chen family. On weekdays, he guards the pawnshop, dumps silver shop, and takes care of the Lin family's home by the way.

Now, with the good reputation of the people, Lin Ji Pawnshop, Lin Ji Dump Silver Shop, and Lin Ji Crude Medicine Shop are also gaining a firm foothold in the city, and business is booming.

When the business is good, the daily turnover of the three shops can reach more than 300 taels of silver.

After the thirteenth uncle of the Chen family found out, he was immediately impressed by Lin Ji's strength, originally investing in Lin Ji's silver shop was just a small fight, but now it has become a small and powerful business, not to mention a few shops outside Cheng Yuan.

Since Lin Feng was exterminated, the business along the coast of Fujian has become more and more difficult, and the Chen family also plans to move the center of gravity to the inland.

The relationship between the Chen family and the Lin family is even closer.

Of course, this lawsuit, which lasted for more than half a year, made Lin Yanchao famous, knocked down a seven-grade pusher, and defeated the famous Maosheng Qianzhuang, so that everyone saw the power of this Xie Yuanlang.

If someone in the provincial capital wants to deal with Lin Ji, he must weigh his own weight to see if it is harder than the bottom of the Tuiguan and Maosheng Commercial Firm.

Of course, all this is supported by Lin Yanchao's aura of Xie Yuan, and the reputation of Wenlin Society is also even louder.

Defeated Yu Tuiguan, the battle of Maosheng Qianzhuang showed the strength of local literati, for Lin Yanchao, the object of this training was just right. Yu Tuiguan has no background, he is just from a person's background, and he is just in the range that can be defeated.

It not only solves the problem for his family, but also trains the team and unites the strength of Wenlin Society.

A few months later, local scholars from Fujian rushed to join the Wenlin Society, and in line with the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, the number of members has reached nearly 100.

But Lin Yanchao is still low-key, teaching social affairs to others, staying at home on weekdays, writing books at home behind closed doors, and at the same time lecturing to Xu Huobo and Tao Wangling every day.

Under the guidance of Lin Yanchao, the two made great progress in their studies, and they were full of confidence in the following year.

Time is like water, rushing by, the first month of the seventh year of Wanli came a little late, and the day when Lin Yanchao went to Beijing to catch the exam is getting closer and closer.

The sound of firecrackers is still in the streets and alleys.

A stack of written manuscripts was put aside, Lin Yanchao stood up and moved, and then walked to the inner room, but saw Lin Qianqian, who had become a bride, was shoeing Lin Yanchao.

The same several uppers were put aside, Lin Yanchao saw the uppers and said with a smile: "Now that you are a young grandmother, why do you still play shoes by yourself?" Last year, the dividends in the pawnshop were enough for you to sell thousands of pairs of shoes. ”

Lin Qianqian shook his head after hearing this: "The shoe uppers sold on the street, where there is a good one, you have to go to Beijing to catch the exam, this is thousands of miles from Fujian to the capital, at least one pair of a thousand miles away, then you don't need several pairs of good shoes." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "I went to the capital to catch the exam, all the way by boat and car, where is there any effort to take the dry road, you are too careful." ”

Lin Qianqian said: "Everyone has a case, don't rush me, I just love to do it, and don't dislike what I do!" ”

Lin Yanchao looked at Lin Qianqian's frowning and disgusted appearance, and felt very cute in his heart, but said on his face: "Let's talk about it then!" ”

Lin said lightly: "What is the time to talk about it." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "Don't talk about it, Brother Xie's Rulin class will start the show soon, we have to hurry, and by the way, we have to send this stack of manuscripts to the shopkeeper Qin, but hurry up." ”

Lin Qianqian heard that Lin Yanchao was going to take him to the play, and the little happiness he had just lost to Java had already been lost, and he hurriedly went to change his clothes when he was happy.

Lin Yanchao went downstairs and met the eldest lady, and asked casually, "Where is the uncle?" ”

The eldest lady said with a complaining face: "Your uncle, he doesn't know where to run in the first month." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Probably to visit the official!" ”

The eldest lady said: "The yamen is sealed, where is there a good official to visit, I think he just can't be idle, and he went outside to brag with his former fox friends and dog friends." Yanchao, if you have time, you can help me talk more about your uncle, he is just a good showman, not stable at all. ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Auntie, how dare I say uncle." ”

"Then you can help me tell me, your cousin who is not a good person, this year is the fourth time to take the children's test, and I haven't even passed the county test, I'm so angry."

Lin Yanchao said: "Didn't he also make the deputy list of his cousin in the county test last year, I think he will probably be able to win this year." Anyway, the family is also rich now, let my cousin take the exam for a few more years, if it doesn't work, then see if he can go to the yamen to make up for a clerk, but after all, it is still inferior to the imperial examination. ”

Originally, for the eldest mother, Lin Yanshou was grateful for being able to make up for a servant, but now she can't look down on it.

The eldest lady smiled when she heard it and said: "That's it, he must be examined, how can he be admitted to a showman, and he will be imprisoned in the future, it depends on whether he is angry or not." ”

Lin Yanchao was talking to the eldest mother, and as soon as the door opened, the third uncle and the third aunt walked out, but they saw that the third aunt was wearing gold and silver, and she was dressed gracefully.

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Where are you going to play?" If you don't open for business for a few days, will you offend old customers! ”

The third aunt smiled calmly and said, "Where can I be?" No matter how busy you are, you have to go back to your parents' house, and besides, this money is inexhaustible, where is it important to visit your family to make money, don't you say you are in charge? ”

The third uncle was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what about Yanchao going out?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, go to the teahouse to see the Confucian Lin class singing, do you want to go with the third uncle?" ”

The third uncle said: "No, no, you can go by yourself, come back early, and discuss business matters with you." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Where, the third uncle is now the big shopkeeper, if you have something to decide, find the thirteenth uncle and my father-in-law, they are too strong for me in business." ”

The third uncle said with a smile: "How can you say that, if you hadn't defeated Shengmao Qian Zhuang last year, where would we have today's momentum in Chen Ji." ”

The third uncle smiled and had a bit of the bearing of a big boss, and he also had three shops under his hands, managing dozens of people, and there were carriages to pick them up when they went in and out.

After talking to the third uncle, Lin Qianqian went downstairs in a new dress, and the two got into the carriage and went straight to the south of the city.

On the way, Lin Yanchao handed over the manuscript to the shopkeeper Qin along the way, and his Shangshu annotations were already completed, and now he handed it over to him, waiting for the publication to be published.

After Lin Yanchao finished sending the manuscript, he went to Guiyun Tower in the tea pavilion in the south of the city.

This Guiyun Building was opened by Xie Zhaoqian last year, and Lin Yanchao also invested money in it in line with the principle of helping his friends, and he can be regarded as a small shareholder.

By the way, Xie Zhaoqian took the Chinese style exam last year, and now he is a student of Changle County School. (To be continued.) )
