The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Chapter 37 Violence cannot solve the problem (Part 1)

It turned out that Professor Lin had an extra three hundred taels of cash in his pocket today, put on his long gown again, and was looking for a place to spend money.

The main purpose is to examine the high-end tertiary industry of this era in the most prosperous city in the world and accumulate experience for starting a business.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Liangshu gave him a head-on warning, and his heart that was almost floating finally recognized the reality again. Although you, Lin Tailai, have been famous on the street for a few days, you are still a low-level commoner at heart!

It can be seen that Zhang Liangshu's patience has reached the limit, and he even said that he would go to repair the river channel.

I have been fooling around for many days, busy building a brand name, increasing traffic, and making money. Although I have achieved small results, my hard work has not been in vain.

But these were all private matters, and his mind was not on official business at all. No wonder Zhang Liangshu's temper exploded.

So it was impossible not to do business today. Before Lin Tai came and left, he thought of something again and reported to Zhang Liangshu:

“Our Anletang attaches great importance to entering Yidu and plans to set up an additional branch to take charge of Yidu affairs.

I have been investigating over the past few days where the branch hall entrance should be located, and I am currently eyeing a place. "

Zhang Liangshu was not interested in these trivial matters and asked perfunctorily: "Where?"

Lin Tailai replied: "Gusu Yi is the best location."

"Get lost!" Zhang Liangshu expressed his attitude concisely.

Lin Tailai still refused to give up: "Aren't all the stations under the jurisdiction of the county government? I see that Gusu Station occupies a large area. Can you give me a small courtyard from it? I can pay the rent!"

Zhang Liangshu scolded: "Don't be a toad and want to eat swan meat! That is the most luxurious post house in Jiangnan. There are two counties in Suzhou City, and they all use this post house! Therefore, it is under the unified management and dispatch of the government office!"

Besides, the people who live in Gusu Yi are either rich or noble. How decent is it to have gangsters coming in and out? It is a sin to disturb the nobles. Who dares to bear this responsibility? "

Lin Tailai explained: "I am not coveting the vanity of Gusuyi. The main thing is to locate the hall in a building related to the yamen. It can enhance the image of the hall to the outside world and make people more respectful. This is a psychology Skill."

Zhang Liangshu sarcastically said: "I don't see you doing any serious work, instead you think about these useless rituals every day!"

The words are not speculative. The boss's status is too low. Lin Tailai didn't bother to say more and took the initiative to leave.

When he got outside, he met up with the Zhang brothers, found a restaurant on the street, dealt with a few people casually, and then left the city gate to go to the Yidu area to have fun.

Walking on the street, people began to recognize Lin Tailai, and occasionally some took the initiative to say hello. This was the result of the struggle some time ago.

The titles are varied and very inconsistent. Some are called "strong men", some are called "leaders", some are called "sir", and some are called "big officials".

But Lin Tailai believes that as time goes by, there will eventually be a title that becomes more and more popular and becomes a personal label.

Theoretically, as long as you leave Xumen, the outside of the city wall is within the scope of Yidu, so the distance is very close. Lin Tailai didn't take a boat and just walked there on his legs.

At present, the Shen family has bought more than 200 acres of land in Santu, Yidu, and built a charity village. Although it is not big, everyone knows that this is just the beginning, and the money and food from the two hundred acres of land are just the sprouts.

The territory divided by the county government to Lin Tailai was the first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth parts of Yidu, in order to contain the Shen family.

Crossing from east to west through Nanhao District, which is close to the moat, the fields you see belong to one city and one map.

It is worthy of being the first capital in the county, so close to the city gate.

In fact, the map is a mile, and each map is a mile. There are grassroots autonomous management personnel such as the village chief and the elderly, which is very extensive.

Originally, there was a grain chief in every li who was responsible for collecting and transporting money and grain, but not many people were willing to be the grain chief.

The function of collecting money and food was gradually taken away by those who had the ability to collect money and food, such as the heads of associations and wealthy families.

Since you are here to plant a flag, the first step must be to say hello to the local chiefs and declare your presence. If you are willing to cooperate, you may even need to talk about numbers.

Lin Tailai and his party were walking in the fields, surrounded by the scenery of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. It was the busy farming season, and there were few idle people wandering on the road.

This is the first time since time travel that he has gone to the countryside to collect "protection tax". Lin Tailai couldn't help but think about it, how can he pretend to be very skilled?

The vast amount of film reading experience I had in my previous life was completely inapplicable here. After all, the situation and background were so different.

Fortunately, there were two "old men from the community" around him, so Lin Tailai casually asked the Zhang brothers: "Before you went to the fish market, did you go to the countryside to collect fish? How did you deal with those who were uncooperative? "

The boss Zhang Wen replied: "Of course we have done something. Most people still pay the national tax on imperial grains normally. When I encounter those who resist taxes and owe taxes, I try my best to find ways to collect them."

For example, you can pour excrement on his door; or you can steal his chicken, cut off the chicken head and put it at the door;

Or he could cut off a lock of hair when his child was alone; or he could light a torch and throw it into his yard during the day, but according to the rules, he couldn't do it at night. "

Lin Tailai: "."

These are all messy and indiscriminate techniques, and the style is too low-end and vulgar to be on the stage at all.

"You are too bad guys. Don't you have the courage to face the enemy head-on?" Lin Tailai questioned.

Zhang Wen complained: "Who doesn't want to be a hero? Our Anletang only has dozens of people, and we can't afford more. If we spread it to the fifteen pictures we manage, how many people can we have in each picture?"

But for these people in the countryside, how can they call out seven or eight men of the same race with just one shout, right? In addition to the neighbors and friends, there can be more than a dozen people, right?

When we encounter those larger clans, they can easily dispatch dozens of strong laborers. There are usually three or five of us, how can we be heroes? "

Lam Tailai was speechless, so the clubs in the movies in his previous life all liked to gather in "Yau Tsim Mong" and didn't like to go to Yuen Long. This was the reason.

But Zhang Wu, the second child, said at this time: "Others can't do it, but I believe that you must be a hero when you are sitting in the hall, and you will go to collect numbers with great courage!"

Lin Tailai was suddenly shocked and responded quickly: "No, no, no, we must respect tradition when doing things and don't destroy fine traditions at will!"

The main reason is that Professor Lin is very sober and can hit more than a dozen people with double whips. If he encounters dozens or hundreds of people holding farm tools and falls into the sea of ​​​​people, he will definitely have to kneel down.

After all, this is the real plane, not Momo Wushuang.

Then he lectured Zhang Wu and said: "Besides, we who are gangsters must put our righteousness first, and our belief is to serve the people!

When we deal with the people, we must mainly explain and persuade them, so that they can understand the benefits of our ministers collecting money and food. How can we attack and kill at every turn? "

Zhang Wu muttered: "Aren't you going to take action today? I thought I could see the heroic figure of sitting in the pavilion and killing everyone from the first map to the sixth map again."

Lin Tailai cursed: "Idiot! Do you know what is hard and easy to break?"
