"Uncle, there's nothing to hide about this matter. There was indeed something wrong with my husband. My husband no longer recognizes me as his student, and I am no longer on duty in the Ordinance Division. The specific reason is that it is a long story. In short, although he didn't recognize me as a disciple, I still treated me as a teacher. After all, there is a master and apprentice. Lin Jue nodded.

Lin Boyong was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "That's it, although I don't know what the reason is, Uncle believes that you must be not at fault." You have your own ideas, and you don't need me to say more. In fact...... That's fine. That Fang Dunru was very ruthless to my Lin family at the beginning, and the matter of your second uncle was caused by him, and I had some opinions about him at that time. Now I will do this to you again, and I will cut off the name of my master and apprentice. It's also a good thing for you to leave the yamen of the Ordinance Division, there is nothing good to do in that yamen, and it makes people angry, so it is better to stay away early. ”

Lin Jue asked with some surprise: "Listening to the uncle's tone, I know something about the Yamen of the Regulations Division." How did you make people angry? Tell me about it. ”

Lin Boyong said: "You are the person who came out of the yamen, don't you know?" Isn't there some kind of "Employment Law"? Let every house give money and hand it over. Widows and lonely households have not been spared. Rich households should also pay silver according to the amount of acres of land. After the Hangzhou prefect issued the order, the whole city was shocked, and everyone was indignant. Lin Jue, speaking of which, you still made preparations in advance, when you were in the capital, you asked us to reduce the scale of the manor, I was a little unhappy at the beginning, but now it seems that you have already got the news and made arrangements in advance. Otherwise, we will have to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. ”

Lin Jue was stunned and speechless, he did adjust the Lin family's industry at the family meeting in the capital last year. But at that time, the "Employment Law" had not yet been implemented, and Lin Jue did not do it intentionally. I didn't expect to hit it right, but I happened to make preparations in advance for this matter. Listening to Lin Boyong's tone, it was as if he was saying that he did it intentionally and made arrangements in advance. Actually, I didn't.

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense like this. When I spread the news, I thought I was leaking secrets and dereliction of duty in the Yamen of the Regulations Department. Lin Jue said busily.

"I understand, I understand, this is just what we said in private, I didn't say half a word to the outside world, wouldn't someone be caught? Don't worry, just know what to expect. Don't say it, don't say it. Lin Boyong stroked his beard and smiled.

Lin Jue obviously didn't believe it when he heard his tone, but he didn't want to explain too much, lest the description become darker and darker.

"Uncle, are you saying that we have also implemented the employment law in Hangzhou? Is it so fast? This law has only been implemented for two months, and has it been rolled to Hangzhou? ”

Lin Boyong patted his thigh and said, "Isn't it?" After the new prefect of Hangzhou took office, he sent officials to various prefectures and counties to publicize. When the silver was collected, the officials were like wolves and tigers, and the gods were vicious. After the slightest resistance, he was arrested and put in prison, and now the prison in Hangzhou is overcrowded. Ordinary people are the most unlucky, and they are powerless to resist. In fact, the rich are not immune. Some people ran up to the door, and the reply they got was that there was no room for anything in this matter, and they had to pay silver taels, so the people who were making a fuss were panicking. What's more, after paying the 'exemption money' of Lao Shizi, the labor is not exempt. The silver is also accepted, and the service is also poor, which is simply a move of exploitation. Some officials took advantage of the opportunity to measure the division of land into grades and exploited them on a large scale, and without giving them benefits, they falsely reported the figures of your land, so that your middle household would become a large household, and you would pay more than two taels of silver. Tell me, what is the court doing? If it goes on like this, isn't it the anger of heaven and the resentment? ”

Lin Jue was terrified, and the drawbacks he was worried about were appearing one by one. In a large state capital like Hangzhou, where the imperial court is extremely concerned, there are so many drawbacks, not to mention the local small state capital. Both of the new laws are linked to the political achievements of local officials, and local officials naturally implement them regardless of their shortcomings. If it goes on like this, how should it be done?

Lin Jue frowned, thinking silently, his face pale

It's ugly. If he hadn't gone through this time, he would have been a person who had participated in the formulation of the "Employment Law", and he would have felt uncomfortable when he heard such caution. It's a pity that he was powerless to prevent this from happening, and it was precisely because of this incident that he turned against Fang Dunru that he had indeed tried his best in this matter. But Lin Jue couldn't completely stay out of the matter, he really sweated for Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru.

Seeing Lin Jue's solemn face and seemed to be worried, Guo Caiwei hurriedly smiled and said: "Today's husband returns to Hangzhou, it is the day of our family reunion, why bother to talk about these things, in vain?" Uncle, the husband is now the criminal officer of Kaifeng Mansion, and he has been promoted, don't you know yet. ”

Lin Boyong was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Got this official position? ”

Lin Jue smiled: "That's true. ”

Lin Boyong patted his thigh and said happily: "That's great, the criminal officer is a fifth-grade official position, and he has been promoted to the fifth grade so quickly, much faster than your second uncle." You see, the head of the family has a lot of ambition, and they all learn from the head of the family. ”

Lin Boyong turned his head to Lin Chang, Lin Song and the others and said. Several sons of the Lin family also showed joy on their faces and congratulated them again and again.

Lin Boyong smiled: "Then speaking, it is a blessing in disguise." Fang Dunru has no eyes, but the court knows your ability. The bigger your officials, the more status my Lin family will have. When our Lin family can not look up to people, that is when my Lin family returns to the court. The head of the family will definitely go to the home school to encourage the students in the general home school and teach them to have a model of struggle. ”

Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "Naturally, I want to go, although it may not be to encourage them to become officials, but I should also go to persuade them to learn more truths." ”

Lin Boyong nodded yes, and a few people talked about it at the moment, and moved the topic to the business at home. Lin Boyong made a report to Lin Jue 1510. Since the Lin family shifted the focus of their business to the Grand Theater and the Boat Company, it has indeed had a great effect. Since last year, the business of the shipping company has been affected for a short time, but it has returned to normal after the year, because people have not found out how much the Lin family has been affected by the Lin Bonian incident, and the business partners have resumed cooperation.

Lin Boyong vigorously developed overseas trade, and the five seagoing ships that returned at the end of last year brought rich returns. The gross profit of the five seagoing ships was nearly 140,000 taels, and in addition to all expenses, more than 100,000 taels of silver were received. This year's batch of returning sea ships will also profit from the same, and after the hurricane, there will be another sea trade trip in June and July. It is estimated that for overseas trade alone, more than 200,000 taels of silver will be more than enough this year. The profit of the ship company is stable at about 100,000 taels, plus the rest of the benefits, and the 30 Chinese New Year's Eve is 50,000 taels of silver.

The profits of the Grand Theater are even more lucrative than those of the boat industry, and six or seven hundred thousand taels of silver in a year can be said to be a certainty. Together, the repayment of 550,000 yuan per year is more than enough, and there is a large surplus.

Lin Boyong meant that the extra part would be repaid in full, and he would strive to pay off the loan mortgaged to the palace in three years. However, Lin Jue had other plans in mind, and suggested that for the time being, he would only repay the loan according to the plan, and the surplus part would be used in case of emergency. Lin Jue is the head of the family, Lin Boyong naturally will not object, but only promised to make a decision according to the situation at the end of the year.

At noon, a banquet was set up in the hall of the Lin family to catch the wind and wash the dust for the head of the family. The banquet was extremely simple, all home-cooked meals, only Lin Jue put a pot of wine in front of him, and the rest of the people replaced the wine with tea. Lin Jue finally understood what Xiaohu said when he returned to the capital a year ago, Xiaohu said that the Lin family was diligent and thrifty, and the daily meals were extremely simple, and the wine was not stained. The whole family has worked hard, and it is no longer as luxurious as before. At this time, I saw it with my own eyes, and I was deeply touched.

Lin Jue wanted to say that in fact, there is no need to be so frugal on weekdays. You don't have to be so harsh on your children. However, Lin Jue did not open his mouth after all. The Lin family's family style is changing, and Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian seem to have put a lot of effort into it. The children of the Lin family are also adapting to this change. I can't let them go to waste.

Besides, the Lin family also needs to change, otherwise it will be difficult to tide over the difficulties.

Lin Jue took the initiative to withdraw the wine in front of him and ate two large bowls of white rice, which was considered to be over this feast. After the dinner, everyone chatted for a while, Lin Boyong got up and went to the dock of the ship to supervise the unloading, Lin Quan, Lin Chang, Lin Song and others had their own things, so they dispersed.

Lin Jue and the little county lord returned to the small courtyard to rest, the husband and wife made love, the little county lord got up after a nap for half an hour, and ordered the carriage and horses to prepare to go out. Lin Jue wanted to go to the palace to meet his father-in-law Guo Bing, so the little county lord naturally followed, and went by to see his father and mother who he hadn't seen for many days.

The carriage drove slowly on the street of Hangzhou City, and the husband and wife in the car whispered to each other, and when they reached Zhonghe Street, two teams of uniformed officials rushed past the car. They wore different clothes, one team of soap-clothed officials had the word 'Changping' written on the back, and the other team of black-clothed officials had the word 'recruit' written on the back. It's a bit aggressive.

Lin Jue felt strange, so he ordered Xiaohu to follow in a car. Soon after, the two teams of more than a dozen servants stopped in front of a shop on the fork street, and before the family could close the door, they were surrounded by a group, and a moment later there was a loud cry.

Lin Jue stopped the carriage and got out of the car to check. But I saw two teams of messengers moving things out of the shop. Tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans were all moved out. A man was scolded by several servants who twisted his arms, and a woman sat on the ground crying and howling.

"What is the mourning? Is it reasonable for your family to borrow a government loan and not repay it overdue? That's the silver of the imperial court, don't you have to pay it back if you borrow it? Do you think that the money of the court is for you to spend for nothing? If you don't pay back the money, you will take your things to pay your debts. One of the officials scolded the woman angrily.

The woman cried out, "We didn't want the money, but you had to give it." We gritted our teeth and returned the two points last year, and we will give them this year. and ten taels of silver, twelve taels must be returned. Our husband and wife sell some fruits in a small business and earn less than three taels of silver a month, and the old mother and children in the family have to be fed, who has extra money? It's okay for us to live a harder life, never borrow usurious silver, earn more to eat and dry, earn less and drink less, and it doesn't hinder the government. Why are we forced to borrow money? ”

"Huh? You woman doesn't know what to do. The imperial court often closes the position of the loan to let you tide over the difficulties, but you say such things. Lord Yan and Lord Fang are heartbroken for you people, but you don't appreciate it? The official rebuked angrily.

"Who do we care about, Lord Yan, who do we grass people know about him? But don't bother us, thank goodness. The ten taels of money have been given to you, and my husband and I didn't dare to move a word, so why are you asking for silver now? The woman cried out.

"Hey! When you say this, ten taels of silver have been given to you for four months, and you don't need to pay interest? Do you give it or not? Don't take your man to jail. The official shouted and threatened.

"How can you give it if you don't have any money? The officials are doing well, and they really don't have any money to give. Be gracious. My husband is the pillar of the family, and if he was captured, our mothers would starve to death. The woman pleaded bitterly.

"Phew, talking nonsense with you, moving things, arresting people." At last, the servant stopped paying attention to the woman, and waved his hand and shouted.

A servant wearing a 'recruitment' uniform said with a smile: "Lao Chen, leave some things for us, you often close all the positions and move away, and I can't make a deal here." Their family still owes five taels of exempt money. Your two or three taels of silver are a piece of. ”

The official before smiled and said: "Lao Wang, who of us is fast and who is on the errand, aren't you the first to take the household on East Street?" None of us should give face to anyone, and it is the first thing to get started quickly in business. ”

"Well, in that case, you're welcome. Brothers, grab something for me. The recruiter waved his hand and shouted. Several black-clothed servants rushed in and began to grab things, and there was a lot of trouble for a while.

The onlookers shook their heads and sighed, but they were also taken by the arrogance of the officials and did not dare to say more.
