The reason why the big cake is a big cake is that it looks so delicious that people can’t help but want to look at it more.
But Zhang Liangshu did not continue to paint the pie, but instead praised Lin Tailai: "I have long seen that you are not an ordinary person. A capable young man like you should be brave enough to shoulder heavy responsibilities and shoulder more responsibilities."
responsibility!
Anletang has wronged you by only letting you guard the fish market. You should have a broader world."
Lin Tailai seemed a little surprised and responded: "A few days ago, a woman from Heyi Tang also said the same thing. Her words were exactly the same as yours. But I just thought she wanted to alienate the relationship between me and Tangkou!"
Damn it! Zhang Liangshu slapped the table and said, "I am really optimistic about you!"
Although Zhang Liangshu said many lies, this sentence actually has some truth.
Lin Tailai dared to covet the county examination, which shows that his level of life has exceeded the level of ordinary community members, and he has begun to think more deeply.
Last time Lin Tailai defeated the leader of Heyi Hall, he read two short poems on the spot, which at least showed that this person was proficient in writing.
Then what he did at the fish market recently can prove that this person has management capabilities.
For a person who is thoughtful, educated, capable of management, and can fight ten at a time, this does not require the ability to discern people, and even a blind person can see the potential.
Then Zhang Liangshu said earnestly: "But ability alone is not enough. You must also pay attention to being proactive.
Dare to think, dare to do, dare to fight and dare to fight, only in this way can you create a new situation in your career! You are still young, so you must show off your momentum!"
The more Mr. Zhang spoke, the more impassioned he became, wishing to stir up all the passion in Lin Zhuangshi.
Lin Tailai originally just wanted to watch quietly, but when he saw Zhang Liangshu showing a slightly dissatisfied look, he felt helpless.
Sometimes, you just can't use your brain.
So Dr. Lin stretched out his hand and patted his pectoralis major muscle. After a few loud bangs, he said enthusiastically: "Mr. Zhang is right. Whatever you need to do, just follow the instructions and I will go through fire and water!"
Zhang Liangshu took advantage of the situation and said loudly: "Send you to plant a flag in Yidu, do you dare!"
Lin Tailai said louder and more decisively: "There is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, why wouldn't you dare!"
Zhang Liangshu asked again: "Aren't you afraid of the Shen family who are the chief ministers of the dynasty?"
Lin Tailai was full of pride: "With the Yamen as my backing, there is nothing to fear! As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger!"
Dr. Lin understands the meaning of Zhang Liangshu very well. The general environment of today and tomorrow is like this. The collapse of rituals and music does not only refer to the corruption of morals in all aspects.
Although local gentry and yamen both belong to the ruling class, the relationship between them is very subtle, with some cooperation and some contradictions.
Let’s not talk about cooperation and collusion, but the main contradiction is that local tycoons hide money and food, which greatly affects the Yamen’s completion of work targets.
If the yamen fails to fulfill the money and food tasks set by the court, the officials themselves will be punished.
In essence, this is a contradiction between the central and local governments, as well as a contradiction between imperial power and the gentry.
Therefore, yamen officials also want to curb the excessive expansion of the wealthy gentry and ensure that the collection of money and grain is completed in full, so as to stabilize their official status.
And associations like Anletang, which are supported by the government, are tools to compete with the wealthy gentry for money and food.
There are only so many tax sources. If it is taken over by associations, the government can get 80% to 90% of it; if it is taken over by gentry, the government can get 30% or 40%, which is pretty good!
But now Zhang Liangshu is looking for someone to plant flags in all cities. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is to curb the expansion of the Shen family.
Yidu is close to the city and includes two major commercial districts, Fengtang (Shangtang) and Nanhao. Due to the influence of various aspects, the Yamen has never allowed organized societies to plant flags.
But this opening was certainly not decided by Zhang Liangshu, but must be the intention of the county government officials.
In order to motivate Lin Tailai, Zhang Liangshu planned to add some political and ideological information to Lin Tailai. He said in a very contagious mobilization:
"Nowadays, many local wealthy families hide their money and food and secretly send it to their fields. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the court to collect taxes!
The country is in such a situation, what it lacks is people like you who are courageous, ambitious, loyal and patriotic! You are the light of righteousness and a righteous man who serves the country and the people!"
But Dr. Lin responded more contagiously: "The ancients said that every time dogs are slaughtered in a righteous way, they are talking about righteous men like us! In the face of powerful enemies, we dare to show our swords, no, our whips!"
Feeling almost uninterested, Dr. Lin then added impassionedly: "It is also said that the powerful only know how to be proud of their family status, and there are really few people who care about the country; the rich and powerful only know how to boast about accumulating wealth, but they don't care about the country!
In this twilight world, I am independent, my righteous indignation burns and my blood surges, I am a man united for justice, with millions of soldiers in his chest!"
Zhang Liangshu: "."
Little brother, are you going a little too far?
I just sent you to guard a few villages and block the expansion of the Shenjiayizhuang, the chief minister. Why did you make the atmosphere look like you were going to assassinate the chief minister?
Although it is not ruled out that you have this ability, our Ming Dynasty does not have a tradition of assassination in politics.
In Zhang Liangshu's inexplicable surprise, Dr. Lin asked again: "Well, the matter of the county examination quota, or the official quota."
He asked himself to do such a dangerous thing, and he agreed wholeheartedly. It would be unjustifiable if he didn't give him some benefits.
Zhang Liangshu came to his senses and made arrangements: "The county examination is not just around the corner, so there is no rush.
Now you go to the official office with me and register your identity as a clerk in the county government's grain department."
The formal officials in the yamen are all established, and their quotas have been registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the imperial court. They also accept the assessment of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The so-called scribes are clerks who are not working in the office. They are temporary workers just like the assistants in the government office.
Wu County is one of the largest counties, with a huge government system. There are dozens of official staff and hundreds of non-staff clerks. This model can be regarded as a traditional feature that has been popular for at least hundreds of years.
Zhang Liangshu said as he walked: "Having the title of Grain Section Clerk will help you to carry out your work better. When the official position becomes vacant in the future, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to a regular official!"
Dr. Lin, who has two generations of experience, only believes the first half of the sentence. As for the second half of the sentence when the leader said "there is an opportunity to become a full-time employee," just listen to it.
Zhang Liangshu then reported it to the masters, and then took Lin Tailai to the official's office to fill in a form and register.
When all the procedures were completed, the two of them smiled "haha" at the same time.
A certain Liangshu thought that he finally found a silly boy who dared to face the Shen family directly. Let’s try it first.
A certain righteous man thought, what's so scary about attacking the Shen family? You don't have to fight and don't know each other. If you can't fight, just join!
If the upstart Shen family wants to get a share of the fish and meat village, they must also need talents like him!
Otherwise, he would not have had the opportunity to contact the Shen family. If he could become the first assistant through the Shen family, wouldn't it be equivalent to reaching the sky in one step for him as a righteous member of the society?
Zhang Liangshu had something to do in the afternoon, so he stopped accepting the banquet and ordered: "The next time you come to the county government office, put on a long gown so that no one will mistake you for a government servant!"
Dr. Lin followed his good deeds and looked for a place to buy clothes after leaving the county office.
He originally wanted to save trouble and buy ready-made clothes, even second-hand ones, but due to his body shape, he couldn't find suitable ready-made clothes, so he had to make them custom-made.
Coming out of Xumen, looking at the bustling Nanhao Street outside the city, Lin Tailai touched the two taels of silver in his pocket - all of which were saved by making illegal money in recent days, and his heart suddenly palpitated.
There is a saying that goes well, it warms your mind. Oh no, men become bad when they have money.
Last time when Dr. Lin was studying knowledge with Miss Wu Qian, he learned that there were two prostitutes who were among the top ten in this year's flower list, living in Nanhao, the kind who could write poetry, calligraphy and painting.
