Chapter 039 Car Gold
Liu Xuan expedited 400 miles and sent an official document to the capital. He was ready for two hands, in addition to collecting 200,000 taels of silver, waiting for the news from the court. At the same time, Fanzi and Jinyiwei, who were hiding in the dark, also sent relevant information to them. The eunuch and cabinet assistants who saw the content of the official document were scolding Lin Zimo for being bold. They should have confessed the paintings given by His Majesty, but they wanted to sell them for silver.
Zhu Jianshen, who listened to their respective speeches, was unmoved and further confirmed with no expression: "Is my "One Group of Heqi Map" really going to be sold by Lin Zimo for 200,000 taels of silver?"
The first cabinet assistant stood up and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the official document submitted by Liu Xuan, the governor of Shaanxi, did state that Lin Zimo, the governor of Qingyang, wanted to sell the authentic works given to him by the emperor for 200,000 taels of silver."
"Isn't it a little less that my paintings can be sold for 200,000 taels of silver?" Zhu Jianshen, who was sober, said lightly, "According to my intention, "a map of harmony" should also be sold for at least 300,000 taels of silver."
The cabinet chief assistant suddenly looked up at him and thought he was joking. Zhu Jianshen smiled and looked at his first assistant with a kind expression. Before coming here, he had already read the official documents submitted by his minions. I knew clearly in my heart that Lin Zimo was trapped by money, so I had no choice but to make this choice but to sell my paintings. However, when he heard that his paintings could sell an amazing 200,000 taels of silver, his vanity in his bones still got a lot of satisfaction. After all, it was a way to be recognized by others.
The people who heard it clearly immediately realized that Zhu Jianshen did not intend to punish Lin Zimo. Since the parties did not investigate, they suddenly silenced. Everyone present knew that you had no jokes. As soon as the emperor opens his golden mouth, he has to do what he wants. The cabinet proposed a vote, and the ceremony supervisor wore red, asking the Ministry of Industry to allocate 300,000 taels of silver to Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi as soon as possible.
When Liu Xuan got this news, he had to accept the reality. Even if I really have a bad opinion of Lin Zimo, I have to endure it. After struggling in Daming's officialdom for decades, he clearly realized that this meant that his subordinate was extraordinary in the emperor's mind. Liu Xuan, who did not use the silver in the silver library, felt a sense of happiness. As a family member of a province, it is really difficult for him to be. After all, he knows that Qingyang Mansion is not the only place that lacks money. In order to make it the icing on the cake, he happily approved the official documents that Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan needed various armaments.
Lin Zimo, who received the news a few days later, was even happier. After all, he had 200,000 taels more silver out of thin air. I thought that with this money, I could build walls, roads, water conservancy projects, so that counties could recruit volunteers, and enrich military benefits. With enough money, various projects can be carried out one after another, and the people will have jobs to earn money.
Lin Zimo felt that if everything here could go smoothly, it would relieve him a lot of pressure. You can free your hands and energy to clean up the disobedient clans and foreign tribes under your jurisdiction. After all, it is a hidden danger. He will still continue to support the growth of the Nalan Jianye tribe. In his heart, he still hopes that the soldiers will not be bloodshed and contain each other. After all, he does not want to labor the people and hurt money.
In addition to being happy, Lin Zimo knew that while receiving 300,000 taels of silver allocated by the Ministry of Industry, the province and Beijing would be sent to supervise. Whether they are public or selfish, they have to draw a pile of silver to share with them, otherwise there will be many inexplicable troubles. He believed that they would get the opportunity and came all the way, and it was impossible for them to come back empty-handed. Since everyone is an official in the same dynasty, it is still necessary to have a good relationship and abide by the established rules.
Even if Lin Zimo sincerely wants to work for the court and does not take up a penny from the official family, no one will believe that he is innocent. Moreover, if he doesn't reach out for silver, it doesn't mean that others don't take more. Lin Zimo, who knew it, knew that he could control the oil and water other than their monthly salary. However, the result of offending the little ghosts will attract their complaints, slander, slander... so that the people behind them have a bad view of themselves, and the gains will not be worth the loss. He is not stunned. He has long learned that the first thing to survive is to learn to protect himself.
After reading the official document, Lin Zimo slowly put it down. In addition to patiently waiting for the arrival of 300,000 taels of silver, there were also various firearms allocated by the provincial government to Qingyang Prefecture. In the Qingyang Armory, there is no shortage of cold weapons, that is, there is a shortage of firearms. If you want to suppress the tribes around you, you are not more than people, but more advanced than weapons.
Lin Zimo wanted to share this good news with Zhao Wenxuan, so he sent Wang Daniu to bring the official document transferred above to his brother-in-law. He leaned his back against the chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and predicted that his unknown Anhua City would soon usher in a lot of "cow ghosts-snake gods" and at the same time, it would also be lively. Bluehouses, gambling fairs and restaurants will have a booming business, and guests are close to the door.
Lin Zimo, who opened his eyes, was in a good mood, but the official documents on the public case still had to be dealt with. If you are lazy, you will pile up for a day. He didn't think much anymore and continued to work hard. As a local leader, Lin Zimo feels that it is better to say more than to do more. Setting a good example can better admonish some subordinates who are lazy for nothing.
Half an hour later, Che Zijin walked into Lin Zimo's government office and said bluntly, "Lord Lin, about the construction of water conservancy in Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village, the subordinate has almost talked with the Niu clan and Ma. I don't know when I can start work?"
Lin Zimo, who put down the brush in his hand, motioned him to sit down first and talk slowly: "As soon as the money allocated to Qingyang Mansion by the Ministry of Work arrives, you can start construction. If they are in a hurry, you can also organize the villagers to do it first. Even if the above silver is not in place, the silver in the treasury is enough to cover the project expenses of the two villages. This time, except for the irrigation projects in these two villages, the water conservancy projects in the whole prefecture will be repaired. In this way, the car will be really hard.
Feeling that the heavily used car gold is bright-eyed, he stood up excitedly and said excitedly, "Thank you for your cultivation and promotion."
Lin Zimo picked up the tea next to the table, pretended to be confused, and smiled, "I didn't do anything for you. Why thank me? Lord Che, you'd better do this well and down-to-earth. This kind of project that is beneficial to this life and future generations must not be neglected. You have to cheer up. If there is a mistake, I will ask you.
The happy car gold nodded repeatedly and called 'yes' and regarded him as a god in front of him. I never dreamed that the new magistrate could get a large amount of money from it. He knows that this is as difficult as grabbing food from the tiger's mouth. As for Qingyang Mansion, it is important. At least it is also a part of the nine-sided land, and it is not important. After all, this is a small remote place in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to being happy, the car suddenly realized that such a large-scale project would avoid digging other people's ancestral graves, and there are many ethnic groups here, and the folk customs are fierce, which will definitely cause trouble. It is indeed a happy thing to be able to put what you have learned in your life into practice. However, he lacks courage and does not have enough courage to face the problems caused by others.
Lin Zimo, sitting in the circle chair, noticed his embarrassed expression and said, "If you have any questions, just open your mouth."
"This time, the huge project made the subordinates worry that they would touch the ancestral house of the countryside. I'm afraid it's difficult for them to deal with their unreasonableness and trouble. The worries in the car's heart are as true.
Lin Zimo, who knew that he lacked courage, smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. You just need to take the servants in the government office and go with them. If you encounter a problem that can't be solved, send someone back quickly to tell us. Since I am a local parent official, it is my duty to solve the trouble for you.
The car Jin trusted him with a lot of expression, so he sincerely thanked him, "With the words of the magistrate, the subordinate will definitely do his best to do his job this time."
"Very good." Lin Zimo, who took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup in his hand. If he didn't want to lend it to him, he dared to say, "If there are relevant conflicts and conflicts between the government and the people, you should be patient and tell the people more. Remember not to force it and think about it from their standpoint. Maintaining regular communication with the patriarchs of each village should be convenient for you to act.
He stood in a regular manner and said respectfully, "The subordinates should remember the teachings of the magistrates, and they will definitely salute first and then soldiers."
Lin Zimo, who hopes that the two sides can have a good negotiation, on the one hand, has a good vision, and on the other hand knows that it is impossible. He chatted with Chezi Jin for a while before letting him out. After walking out of the magistrate's office, he looked up at the blue sky and guessed that Lin Zimo's * must be very hard. Following him, he would definitely make a big difference. Although I am not a full-learned person, I ask myself that I am not a vegetarian who hangs sheep's heads, sells dog meat, and lives a living. Walking with the wind and walking briskly, he straightened his body and showed joy in his expression. I finally look forward to the day when the clouds open and see the moon.
