Chapter 18
Gu Wuchen told Lin Jian at the wine table that he could choose any vacancy according to the vacancy of the Inspectorate Division, and the people next to him were both envious and jealous when they heard it.
According to the procurator department in charge of the impeachment of a county's criminal name, with both judicial and supervisory duties, there is a person who is a procurator of the third grade, and a deputy envoy of the fourth grade, and a sub-official is set up for military preparation, education, sea patrol, military supervision, post transmission, and tuntian, and the title of the fifth grade is added.
Although the power of a county is divided into three parts according to the Inspectorate Division, the Xuanfu Envoy Division, and the Admiral's Office, in fact, the power of the Inspectorate Division penetrates into the other two divisions quite seriously. For example, according to the inspection and envoy department, there are five kinds of soldiers to prepare for affairs, in peacetime to promote education and education, repair the city, and try lawsuits, and in wartime, the local soldiers in the prefecture and county are controlled to suppress chaos, in fact, the civil ministers are given the right to command the army; According to the inspector, he also set up a five-product supervisor of the army, and had the right to supervise the army in the towns of the Governor's Mansion, which was actually a model of the dynasty's use of literature to control the military.
Regardless of the procurator and the deputy envoy, the subordinate divisions are also high-ranking and powerful, and they belong to the list of officials sent by Beijing. In addition to these three and some other important officials, most of the officials under the Yamen of the Inspectorate Department are subordinate officials. These subordinate officials, including those who have entered the stream, and those who have not entered the stream, all belong to the scope of local officials. Among them, there are clear water officials, and there are fat dispatches who are bubbling with oil and water, and sometimes a small eight- or nine-grade official has terrifying power.
When Gu Wuchen said this, how could he make others not envious and jealous of Lin Xuan?
Although the selection of the subordinate officials of the Jiangdong Procuratorial Envoy Department is jointly responsible for the Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy Department and the Jiangning Officials' Department, the specific person to use is still in the Inspectorate Division, and the only prerequisite is that this person can be found from the Xuanfu Envoy Department and the Jiangning Household Department. Of course, when there is no clear candidate for the appointment of the judge himself, the Xuanfu Envoy and the Jiangning Ministry can exercise the right of recommendation.
Lin Jian didn't expect Gu Wuchen to make such a promise as soon as he took office, so he hurriedly stood up and thanked each other: "Thank you for your reward, Lin Jian should repay the kindness of your acquaintance......"
"You have this talent, I should recommend you to serve the imperial court," Gu Wuchen smiled with a spring breeze on his face, he was glad that Lin Jian didn't refuse this time, "You think about it carefully, don't be busy making decisions today...... "He came to Jiangning, although he had the aura of a new upstart in the Chu Party, if he didn't have a suitable and trustworthy manpower, he would also give others a void." Although Yang Pu, Yang Shi, and Ma Chao are all trustworthy people around them, they have no fame to be promoted, and can only be arranged to be low-level guard positions such as captains, but there is no future as a military attache in the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, and there is no way to grasp the power of affairs, let alone promotion. Although Lin Jian is just a meritorious person, and his promotion start is lower, it is more convenient to operate, and after all, he belongs to the people in the Wenchen team.
****************
Although he had Gu Wuchen's promise, Lin Jian didn't dare to be careless, so he really closed his eyes and chose an idle messenger. Gu Wuchen is an upstart in the Chu Party, and he is a dignified four-grade member, what he wants to do, he can naturally do whatever he wants, without too many scruples; He can't do it, he must avoid conflicts with the middle and lower officials of the inspection department, and avoid becoming the target of the attack of the middle and lower officials of the inspection department, and he must be cautious in choosing a seat from the inspection department.
In the next few days, Zhao Hu escorted Lin Jingzhong and Gu Tianqiao back to Shiliang County to discuss the underwriting of Gu's tea goods, and Lin Jian found a shop near Zangjin Bridge in Xicheng and bought it. In the courtyard behind the shop, there are three main houses and four side rooms, where you can live and store tea.
Although Lin Jian was determined to build a warehouse at the mouth of the Jinchuan River outside the eastern city, and to buy ships to form a fleet, so that Jiyun Society would become a large business that could take care of both sitting and selling, these things could not be done in a day or two with money.
From a practical point of view, even if the negotiation is successfully negotiated to underwrite the Gu family's tea goods, before the new tea goes on the market after the spring next year, the Gu family will only have more than 1,000 catties of old tea in their hands to be transported to Jiangning.
Lin Jingzhong and they left for four days and returned, Lin Jingzhong, Gu Tianqiao, and Zhao Hu were all dusty, Lin Jingzhong's body was weak, his face was thin, and he didn't drink a sip of tea when he rushed back, so he took Lin Lian to Xicheng Zangjin Bridge to see the newly bought tea shop, and felt that the market and price were quite satisfied, and joked with Lin Lian: "I still want you to be the owner of the handshake, I didn't expect you to be much more shrewd than I expected......"
"It doesn't matter if I don't do it, you have to do it as soon as possible, you have to do it as soon as possible, and refuse to ......" Lin Jian said, there is a vice in this era, that is, the master takes the apprentice, and will always leave a few hands, few people are willing to explain all the tricks in the industry clearly to the apprentice at once, so as not to let the apprentice rob the apprentice of the job, and let the apprentice learn for a few more years, and can be called cheaply for a few more years, so the cycle of apprenticeship in the industry is extremely long, just like Lin Jingzhong If he does things in the Lin Ji warehouse step by step, even if he is a child of the Lin family, It is also very unlikely that you want to be an ordinary shopkeeper before the age of thirty; Lin Jian was afraid that Lin Jingzhong had also learned this bad habit in the Lin Ji Warehouse, and suppressed Gu Tianqiao and the other hired guys to prevent them from coming out in the Jiyun Society.
"......" Lin Jingzhong smiled, it was a little embarrassing to wake up Lin Lian, but thinking about it, Lin Lian had great ambitions to run the Jiyun Society, if he put his mind on the small tea shop, Lin Lian would only look down on him, and said, "I know, I also hope that someone can help me ......."
"At this time, it is a tea shop, and in the future, the warehouse and fleet will be set up, and a large number of skilled people will be needed," Lin Jian pressed Lin Jingzhong's shoulder, "There is also the matter of the Jinchuan Estuary Warehouse, and I also need you to help me run my feet." ”
"Doesn't that mean that my hemp legs are broken?" Lin Jingzhong grinned, there was no complaint in his heart, he had been an accountkeeper in Lin Ji Warehouse for two years, and he thought he was better than others, but he had no way out.
From Jiangning to Dongyang back and forth more than 500 miles, but also to go to Huyan to talk to the Gu family about the underwriting of tea goods, but also to go back to Shanglin to talk to the seventh lady about things, he only took four days to go back and forth, in Shanglin at home on the sleep of half the night, the face has lost a circle, the hard work is willing to bear by him, people are also strong.
Lin Jian said to Gu Tianqiao seriously: "Tianqiao, now I want you to learn more things from Jingzhong, I can count on handing over this tea shop to you after next spring......
Gu Tianqiao nodded and said, "Xie Dong's family." ”
This time he and Lin Jingzhong returned to Shiliang Huyan, Jiyun Society is willing to raise the price of tea in Lin Ji Warehouse by another three percent, in addition to the Gu family's thousands of catties of old tea at a time, but also pay a deposit of three hundred taels of silver for the new tea after the spring next year, this matter is the Gu family behind the scenes, as for the negotiation with the Lin family, there is no need to worry about the Gu family, the Gu family agreed without much hesitation, and even sent two people to Jiangning to be apprentices.
The apprentices are only for food and drink, and they are sent for free, but if the Gu family wants to get out of the predicament of limiting Dongyang Mansion, there are few children in the clan who can be used, so they want to send as many people as possible to Jiangning to learn the craft and learn the knowledge; At this point, Lin Jian expected this, and instructed Lin Jingzhong in advance to agree if the Gu family mentioned this matter.
Lin Jian didn't want to limit the Gu family to Dongyang Mansion, and then the Jiyun Society could continue to suck blood from the Gu family. First of all, we must take care of the mind of the seventh lady Gu Yingsleeve, and secondly, even if the price increase meets the requirements of the Gu family at this time, it will be difficult to ensure that the Gu family will not breed new dissatisfaction after a long time.
Lin Jian has the experience of a thousand years later, and knows that for a thing or a relationship with each other to be maintained for a long time, there must be a foundation for common interests.
In addition to the two apprentices sent by the Gu family, Zhao Hu also brought his twelve-year-old younger brother Zhao Xiong over this time.
Lin Jian knew what Zhao Hu's father and mother, especially his mother Zhao were thinking. It is not easy for the Zhuang family to provide their children with reading, it is very laborious, and it is also a matter of great luck to win fame by reading, like Zhao Hu and his three brothers, who have studied in Yixue for two years, they will call home early to help farm and collect firewood to do chores, which is also a common choice for the Zhuang family.
The second son Zhao Bao is fifteen years old, and he pulled Zhao over to run in front of the seventh lady, this time Zhao asked Zhao Hu to bring his youngest son to Jiangning.
Seeing Zhao Hu pulling his little brother Zhao Xiong there to tell things, Zhao Hu, who had only been in Jiangning for half a month, told him to speak, as if he was already an old Jiangning guest, Lin Jian smiled dumbly, and called Zhao Hu and Zhao Xiong to his side: "How did your father and mother name your three brothers, tiger, leopard and bear, the whole zoo?" ”
"What is a zoo?" Zhao Hu listened to the new term and asked suspiciously.
"The royal hunting place, Changlin Yuan, raises tiger beasts for the children of the royal family to learn to ride and shoot, isn't it more appropriate to call it a zoo?" Lin Lian said nonsense, pulling Zhao Xiong, who was still young but looked like a tiger with a bear's waist, only a head shorter than himself, to his side, "I'll give you a new name, and add the word 'dream' to the middle of 'Zhao Xiong'...... You're still young, don't learn any crafts for the time being, there is a school in the city, you go to study for two more years, and you're afraid that you little guy will be able to make me poor? ”
"Zhao Mengxiong, this name is good, King Wen Mengxiong, he has great ambitions," Lin Jingzhong walked over and said with a smile, "There is another happy event, Zhao Hu is embarrassed to say, I will tell you." ”
"What's the happy event?" Lin Jian asked.
"Do you remember Hongying, the daughter of the old man Guo's family in the forest?" Lin Jingzhong said, "Originally, Old Man Guo's family regretted not talking about it, but a few days ago, I found someone to ask Mrs. Qi to talk about it, and I want to continue to talk about this family matter, so I just waited for the Zhao family to hear back." Aunt Zhao was angry that Old Man Guo had repented earlier and ignored it. This time, Zhao Hu and I went back to the forest and stayed for half a night, and Old Man Guo found someone to directly test Zhao Hu's meaning. We stayed in Shanglin for a short time, and we had to be busy talking to the Seventh Lady about things, and we had to hurry back, I was going to let Zhao Hu stay in Shanglin for two more days, but he was unwilling, saying that there was a shortage of manpower here...... To be honest, I didn't figure out what Zhao Hu was thinking. ”
Lin Lian laughed and said, "Who doesn't expect her daughter to marry a good family? Old man Guo's thoughts, although they are hateful, can also be understood," he slammed Zhao Hu with his fist, "If you still have thoughts about others, just give a reply as soon as possible, and it is okay to take people to Jiangning during the New Year, and if you drag it down, you are not afraid of making people mistakenly think that you have no intention of talking about it, and you will give your daughter to someone else's family?" ”
Zhao Hu's face was originally dark, but his face turned purple at this time, and he snorted, "Wait...... When someone returns to Dongyang, just send a letter back. ”
