Chapter 308 The position of the chief bookkeeper
"Dad, this Duanmu Liangchuan is really a genius. I think his analysis makes sense."
On the way to the banquet, Lin Yu looked excited and couldn't help but speak.
Even a loser like him could tell that Duanmu Liangchuan was no ordinary person.
"That's right, he is a talented and well-educated poet. Back then, his reputation could spread throughout Qingzhou County with just one poem. There was a big family in Midnight City who wanted to invite him as a guest, but they went to invite him three times but they didn't come out. .I didn’t expect it to be delivered to my door.”
Lin Xiao's face was full of smiles. He got a big deal this time, but he still did not forget to educate Lin Yu:
"But we can't believe everything he said. Although he claims to be here to seek money, the timing of his arrival always makes me feel that something is wrong."
Speaking of this, he always felt a little worried. Why would a big family choose to come to the Lin family when they have invited someone who has never left the family many times?
Duanmu Liangchuan said he wanted to make some money. He accepted this reason, but he still felt something was wrong.
"Dad, I think you are worrying too much. If he really wants to deal with us, how can he give us advice?"
Lin Yu opened his mouth to defend Duanmu Liangchuan. Duanmu Liangchuan's confident look and generous remarks just now had completely conquered him.
"Besides, didn't you send a dozen family experts to monitor him? As long as he is always in our sight, what if there is a problem?"
"Indeed, as long as he is under our surveillance and we don't leave him any clues, he is no threat to us. But you still have to pay attention to what he says. Wait for dinner."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly. Judging from the current situation, Duanmu Liangchuan is indeed here to help. As long as you have enough money, there should be no problem.
And he didn't believe that someone would risk their lives to come to their family in order to deal with them.
As they spoke, the two of them had arrived at Qianling Tower.
Two handymen at the door had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the father and son, they hurried over and said:
"Two adults, the magistrate is in the private room on the second floor. I will take you there now."
Lin Xiao glanced at the handyman with his peripheral vision. Without saying anything, the guard on the side nodded to him.
In the elegant room, there were only Lin Xiaofan and two people in white clothes. Both of them were disguised as secret guards, and at this time they both entered the yamen as government servants.
"County Magistrate Lin, you're welcome and safe! I'm late, so I'll punish myself."
With a thick smile on his face, Lin Xiao poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it before sitting down.
Lin Yu on the side saw this and hurriedly sat down in his seat. Before coming, Lin Xiaoqian warned Wan that he should not talk too much and just eat.
"Clan Leader Lin is already here to give me face. Waiter, let's serve the food."
Lin Xiaofan waved to the handyman next to him. Facing Lin Xiao, he greeted him with a fake smile.
The dinner table was soon filled with sumptuous meals, and the two of them were talking politely and drinking wine.
In a short while, both jars were finished.
As the wine went deep, Lin Xiaofan sighed, smiled bitterly and spoke "the truth".
"Hey, Patriarch Lin, to tell you the truth, I should have handed over the position of county magistrate to Lin Yu at the banquet that day. It was mainly Yan Wu of the Yan family who spoke. I was new here and didn't understand the situation in the city, so I didn't dare not Give him face and miss the opportunity."
"After the banquet, I regretted it, so I asked Bao Tianqing to call you. I thought I would settle the matter today, but something went wrong again in the afternoon."
"A group of people came to the Yamen to petition. The previous Magistrate Cheng had just asked to beheaded. As the new Magistrate, I have to keep a low profile. There are many things that I have no control over!"
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofan sighed again, his face full of sadness and anger.
Seeing that he had gotten to the point, Lin Xiao cheered up, picked up the wine bowl with a smile and said:
"County Magistrate Lin, I can't thank you enough for having such a heart. I'll give you a toast. Yu'er, didn't I spend a hundred gold a few days ago and ask people to go to the capital to buy more than a dozen jars of fine wine? By that time , all sent to Magistrate Lin’s house.”
"Ah...Okay, okay, I'll make arrangements later."
Lin Yu was still thinking about other things, and he quickly responded after he realized what he was doing.
"No, no, no, Patriarch Lin, you are not rewarded for your merits! I have done nothing, how can I have the nerve to ask for your wine?"
Lin Xiaofan waved his hands anxiously.
"It's just a few jars of fine wine, Brother Lin, there's no need to shirk it. These wines...are all the leftovers from today's drink. County Magistrate Lin couldn't bear to waste them, so he took them home. How about that?"
Lin Xiao found a reason for it.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan stopped trying to evade.
The wine, which is worth a hundred gold, was sent by the enemy, so don’t give it up.
"To be honest, Chief Lin, I have something to discuss with you. Although the position of county magistrate is gone, do you want the position of chief registrar?"
Lin Xiaofan lowered his voice and asked.
Hearing this, Lin Yu looked happy, leaned closer and asked:
"County Magistrate Lin, are you serious about this?"
Unexpectedly, Duanmu Liangchuan was so clever and actually guessed Lin Xiaofan's actions.
"Clan Chief Lin, what did I do to lie to you? Brother Lin Yu is a talented person and is well-read in poetry and books. Who else in Degao County besides him is worthy of the position of chief registrar? It's just that there is Zhao Cang holding him down. I want to In order for Brother Lin Yu to take office, we need to take care of things!"
While speaking, Lin Xiaofan rubbed his fingers with a confused look on his face.
"Easy to say, easy to say. Brother Lin, you can make a price."
Lin Yu suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and said.
Now that the position of the master register is in Yu'er's hands, doesn't that mean he can have as much money as he wants? A little bit of corruption in taxes for a year can amount to thousands of taels of silver.
"Patriarch Lin, I don't want your money either. I just want you to do me a favor. I have almost no property in this city, and it's difficult to run a household just relying on the county magistrate's salary, so I want some shops. "
Lin Xiaofan said.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao nodded slightly. As long as the store is run well, it can make a steady stream of money. This idea is correct.
However, if Lin Xiaofan really wanted to open a store, he couldn't just buy it himself after getting the money, or would he have to ask for something ready-made?
Perhaps seeing his doubts, Lin Xiaofan continued:
"To be honest, I took in a daughter-in-law before I got married, and her cooking skills are considered to be top-notch. If I had a better hotel under my control, I would definitely be able to make countless money in a year."
When Lin Xiao heard this, he suddenly thought of something and twitched the corner of his mouth.
I still remember that two days ago, Lin Xiaofan made an appointment with Wang Cheng, the head of the Wang family, and wanted the Qianling Tower. Today... wouldn't he ask me to take over the Qianling Tower for him?
This Qianling Pavilion is worth a thousand gold at least. It is not necessarily profitable to exchange it for the position of the master bookkeeper. Moreover, the Qianling Tower is an ancestral property of the Wang family, and it is impossible for them to give it away!
Also, before they divided the city's industries, hotels and restaurants were all handled by the Wang family. If Lin Xiaofan got involved, something might happen.
He looked at Lin Xiaofan opposite, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
