Chapter 301 Duanmu Liangchuan
"What a coincidence. I am also very interested in reading and writing poetry. Brother Wencheng, I wonder if you have ever written poetry?"
Lin Xiaofan had a smile on his face and looked at Guang Wencheng with excitement in his eyes, as if he was seeing a close friend.
Hearing this, Guang Wencheng smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said:
"Magistrate Lin, I have composed a few poems, but compared with what you wrote today, they are like fireflies and bright moons."
When I looked at my poems before, I thought they were comparable to the sages. There were few people in Daqian who had his literary talent.
But when I saw this poem by Lin Xiaofan today, I just felt like a joke.
"Haha, I suddenly became interested too. Brother Wencheng, if you want to read a book in the future, just come to my house and I will lend it to you."
Lin Xiaofan waved his hand and said. It just so happened that he was going to buy a batch of books and put them at home so that no one could read them except him, so he could use them to win people's hearts. Anyway, it is just a loan for a period of time, so there is no loss.
"County Magistrate Lin, are you serious about this?"
Guang Wencheng's face was filled with joy.
He only earned fifteen cents a day, and he had to support his family, so he had no money left to buy books.
The dozen or so volumes he bought before have been torn through over the years.
"That's natural. Brother Wencheng, if you want any books, just ask. I'm asking you here this time because I just want to get to know you more deeply and see if I've made any mistakes. Since Brother Wencheng also likes reading, , then I feel relieved. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can come and discuss literary matters with me."
Lin Xiaofan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Magistrate Lin."
Guang Wencheng looked excited and bowed. This time, he was completely conquered by Lin Xiaofan.
Which of the county magistrates in the past was not a loser? I'm afraid I haven't read a few books in my life, and I just relied on my background to get to the top. Not only that, but each one of them was so aloof that it would be difficult to even meet him. How could anyone like Lin Xiaofan be willing to discuss literature with his subordinates?
He was willing to follow such a county magistrate for the rest of his life.
"County Magistrate Lin, you seem to have only written half of this poem. I wonder what the other sentence is?"
Lin Xiaofan heard this, thought for a moment, and wrote the first half of the sentence:
"If you drink wine from a luminous cup, if you want to drink pipa, you will be prompted immediately." ’
Guang Wencheng frowned slightly. At first glance, he thought it was good, but he didn't understand it. After thinking about it carefully, his eyes lit up slightly and he exclaimed that it was wonderful.
After sending him away, Lin Xiaofan touched his temples. Now that Guang Wencheng and Li Chuang are his own, with them here, his control over the agents has been greatly improved. As for Zhugan and Didan, they were patrolling at the moment. Wait until the afternoon, and then give them a beating to make them work for you loyally.
Now the internal affairs of the county government have been perfectly resolved. The next thing to do is to invite Duanmu Liangchuan out of the mountain.
Since this person is famous, it means he is talented. The reason why they don't want to come out is because the officialdom is dark. To be precise, I haven't met a master worthy of my trust.
After thinking for a long time, he wrote on a jade silk letter:
‘The offices of officials are in ruins, traitors are in power, and the people are suffering. I don’t measure my virtue and my ability, but I want to believe in righteousness in the world; I hope that Mr. Xi will come out of the mountain and return the world to the people, and there will be peace for all eternity - Lin Xiaofan'
After finishing writing, Lin Xiaofan felt dissatisfied, so he called Director Yan over again and made another copy, which made him feel decent.
The main reason is that I am really not used to writing with a brush.
After finishing writing, he then started working on the second letter.
‘If we want to bring peace to the people of Degao County, we need to deal with the three families of Lin, Xiang and Wang. I hope Mr. Lin will join the Lin family and cooperate with us inside and outside. ’
"Cough cough."
He coughed twice, a breeze blew, and the cabinet door was gently opened, and a masked man in black emerged from it. He was the secret guard responsible for guarding Lin Xiaofan.
There was no place to hide in this room, and he had to protect Lin Xiaofan's safety at all times, so he could only hide here.
"Send four people to guard the earthen kiln. If anyone steps into it without permission, they will be killed. Send four more people to spread rumors in the city. Yan Xing has been an official for decades and has worked hard to benefit the people of Fudegao County. He should be allowed to do this. County Magistrate. When the matter is almost settled, we can incite them to come to the Yamen and ask for Yan to be promoted to County Magistrate."
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth and gave instructions.
In this way, if the people come to the county government office to petition in person, they can use the reason of protecting their reputation to offer the position of county magistrate to Yan Xing. Then Lin Yu was given the position of chief clerk, some rights were given to him, and he was allowed to commit corruption, and then he was taken down in one fell swoop.
"Also, find a person named Duanmu Liangchuan and hand this letter to him."
The shadow nodded slightly and put the letter in his arms.
After the black shadow left, Lin Xiaofan asked:
"Master Yan, can you tell me in detail what properties the Xiang family, Wang family, and Lin family have in the city?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
Yan Xing thought for a moment and replied:
"The Wang family mainly operates restaurants in the city. Most of the high-end restaurants are owned by their family, including the Qianling Tower where we had the banquet yesterday. The Xiang family operates pawn shops. This is a hugely profitable industry. During famine years, many people would dig out family heirlooms from their homes and go there to pawn them. The Lin family has many businesses, including ceramics, salt, iron, etc."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly and had a plan in mind.
"Song Shang, you go find a government official and ask him to go to Wang's house and inform him that I want to discuss business with them tonight. The place will be Qianling Tower."
……
In a large courtyard, a man was sitting under the eaves, holding a book in his hand and reading.
The man looked to be in his twenties, with a beard, wearing coarse linen clothes, and a thin figure. There were firewood piled in the yard and a few chickens, just like an ordinary farmhouse.
"Brother Liangchuan!"
A woman with a backpack opened the courtyard door and ran in happily.
Duanmu Liangchuan raised his head, looked at the woman running towards him, and asked with confusion:
"Ke'er, why are you so excited?"
My younger sister has always been steady on weekdays, and rarely shows such gaffes as an adult.
Duanmu Keer ran up to him with an excited expression and said:
"Brother Liangchuan, I went to the city today and heard that the original magistrate of our county was imprisoned, and the new magistrate is Lin Xiaofan."
"Lin Xiaofan."
Duanmu Liangchuan muttered the name and nodded slightly.
Lin Xiaofan was a genius who stepped forward when Qingzhou was in danger and made several strategies to repel 200,000 enemy troops. And he is not very old now. If he grows up for a few more years, he may be able to stir up the entire Daqian Kingdom.
But, such a talented person is only serving as the county magistrate in Degao County?
This Daqian country is really getting more and more ruined. This great Emperor Qian is also a person who only wants to enjoy himself and has no real ability in his mind. If I were the emperor, I would definitely reward them with tens of thousands of gold, make them a military advisor in Qingzhou, and replenish the Qingzhou army's troops, so that they could advance westward and capture Dashang and Daliang in one fell swoop. No matter how unlucky they are, they can still capture dozens of cities.
This is also the reason why he has been reluctant to come out of the mountain. If he has to work with many corrupt officials to climb to a high position, then he would rather live in seclusion in the wilderness for the rest of his life and bury his talents.
