Chapter 700: A Rumor

It is said that just in front of most of the incense, a passenger ship from the direction of Guangzhou Prefecture was moored on the pier, and a group of housekeepers or officials carrying gifts walked down from the ship.

"Guest officer, do you want a carriage?"

"Guest officer, my carriage is the most comfortable, use mine, right?"

"Guest officer, my carriage is going fast, keep not delaying your business!"

……

A group of drivers who made a living at the pier stepped forward one after another, seemingly enthusiastically soliciting customers.

"Don't bother to go to Lord Lin's house!"

When the men got off the boat, they saw that the carriage had boarded the carriage without even asking the price, and then ordered to the coachman in a hurry.

Xiao Ying of Leizhou Bay is a very careful person, after seeing this abnormal scene, especially seeing several officials wearing official uniforms, he immediately sent his subordinates to send the news to the Lin Mansion.

Although Lin Haoran is no longer concurrently serving as the reserve road in Haibei and is no longer their nominal boss, he knows very well in his heart: this Leizhou Wei has been deeply marked with Lord Lin's chrome seal, and whoever dares to be disrespectful to Lord Lin is asking for his own death.

What's more, he was able to rise from a soldier to a hundred households, which was all the result of Lord Lin's clear rewards and punishments. It was Lord Lin who provided them with the possibility of exchanging military merits for promotion that he was able to achieve this great leap, which is undoubtedly a heavy kindness.

The passenger ship was affected by the storm the day before yesterday, which caused these people to arrive at the Leizhou wharf on time, which made them seem very anxious.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

The more than ten people seemed to be very anxious, and after getting into the car with the gifts, they urged the groom vigorously.

The carriage galloped from Zhenyang Avenue to Zhenyang Gate, but when they entered the city, they were like ants on a hot pit. Because of the collective holiday of the female workers in the cooperative workshop, and the big promotions carried out by the merchants in Leizhou City, today's streets are crowded.

After seeing this situation, some people couldn't care about the prosperity of Leizhou City, and immediately chose to pay the car fee, and then chose to go to Lin Mansion on foot.

"There are officials in Guangdong who come to congratulate the tiger girl on her birthday!"

Upon hearing the news, many guests were confused.

Lin Haoran was withdrawn from the Haibei Reserve Road, and there was no new reward, which is undoubtedly a sign of falling out of favor. And as far as they know, Wang Bai, who has always been forbearing, is about to take action, and there is even a royal history to impeach Lin Haoran for collecting rich people's money, intending to give Lin Haoran a fatal blow.

It's just that now, Lin Haoran is just celebrating his sister's birthday, why did the officials in Guangdong come thousands of miles to congratulate him?

"Who is so blind?"

Qian Baiguan, Zhao Bakun, Cheng Deming and others faintly heard a rush of footsteps, and couldn't help but turn their heads curiously, wondering which officials were so eyeless.

Banquets have always been like this, with heavy gifts or gifts from officials will be roll-called, and the voice belonging to the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion suddenly sounded, the voice was loud and subdued.

"Guangzhou Mansion sentenced Lord Sun Quancai to send a pair of wishes!"

"Guangdong Salt Class Lifting Division Lifting Master Sun Hao sent a pair of ancient paintings!"

"Lord Xiao Yixu, the deputy inspector of Guangdong, sent a big golden peach!"

"Guangdong...... Guangdong political envoy Wang Bai sent a jade tiger! ”

……

After Lin Jinyuan just received a gift of fifty yuan, he thought that the gift collection of this banquet was coming to an end, but he did not expect to usher in the climax of the banquet.

Guangzhou government general judgment?

Guangdong salt class lifting division?

Guangdong according to the deputy prosecutor?

Wang Bai, the political envoy of the Guangdong Political Division?

……

The official names of the official positions and weights are like bullets that have been shot into everyone's hearts.

By noon, the banquet was about to begin, and the guests had almost gathered. Hearing this list of congratulatory gifts, the guests present couldn't help but raise their heads in amazement and looked in the direction of the gate in shock.

Everyone knows that Lin Haoran was removed from the Haibei Military Reserve Road, which released a bad signal to the outside world. But what people never expected was that so many officials sent congratulatory gifts, including the chief secretary Wang Bai.

This scene, while shocking everyone, is undoubtedly full of weirdness.

"How?"

Qian Baiguan, Zhao Bakun and Cheng Deming were immediately stunned on the spot, their brains buzzing, and they couldn't accept this fact at all. Lin Leigong, who is obviously going to be planted, is now sought after by many officials.

In particular, Wang Bai actually sent a heavy congratulatory gift, which directly shattered the rumor that he was going to do something to Lin Haoran, which was obviously showing favor to Lin Leigong.

The answer was soon revealed, and the reason for it all was because of a new rumor.

This has to start with the report card submitted by the Guangdong City Bo Division, and with a beautiful report card of the opening of the sea submitted to the household department of the imperial court, the opening of the sea party was greatly excited by the result.

The Kaihai faction originally didn't have much hope for the opening of the sea in Leizhou Mansion, after all, it was a remote place, and even the most capable officials were difficult to cook without rice, let alone a newcomer to the officialdom?

But he never expected that in just one year, the Guangdong City Bosi would earn a huge amount of 100,000 taels a month, and even earned tens of thousands of taels from the Siamese rice trade.

After seeing this result, people of insight such as Tang Shunzhi, the governor of Fengyang, who was the governor of the right capital, chose to write a book, hoping that the imperial court would change Lin Haoran from the prefect of Leizhou to the prefect of Guangzhou and the governor of Guangdong, and set up the opening site at the Haojing Wharf in Xiangshan.

In the eyes of many officials, Leizhou Mansion is a remote place, and the prosperous Guangzhou Mansion is the best place to open the sea, so as to better protect the results of this sea opening.

In addition, this can achieve such good results in Leizhou Mansion, if it is placed in Guangzhou Mansion, where the workshop is more developed, its effect will inevitably be more significant, and the effect of opening the sea will be better.

This news reached the Guangzhou Mansion, but it was supported by the majority of squires.

Nowadays, Haojing is actually an attached wharf of Leizhou Prefecture, and only the ships of the Francophile will sail directly from Haojing to Japan, and if they want to sail, they must first go to Leizhou Wharf to obtain approval.

Not to mention Japan's trade, even if you want to take the Nanyang East Route to Ryukyu, Luzon, Philipina and other countries to engage in trade, it is undoubtedly necessary to take an extra round trip or the middle route, but it is a great waste of time.

It is precisely because of this that the squires on the Guangdong side chose to agree, hoping that Lin Haoran would come to serve as the prefect of Guangzhou and restore the Haojing Wharf to a direct external wharf.

Some people combined with Lin Haoran's previous position as a reserve road in Haibei was taken away, and many people thought that the saint already had this plan, and he wanted to transfer Lin Haoran to the prefect of Guangzhou and the secretary of Guangdong City.

Syllable!

When Qian Baiguan, Zhao Bakun and Cheng Deming learned the whole story, they seemed to have been slapped in the face with a loud slap, and things were completely opposite to what they had guessed before.
