Chapter 258 Placement
Seeing Zhou Xiaozhu calm down, Uncle Lin held him in his arms: "I have seriously considered Brother Xia's previous proposal. Let's take the tofu and Piaoxiang ten miles to Sichuan."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhu raised his head in Uncle Lin's arms: "Sir, have you thought it over yet?"
While waiting for the letter of appointment, Uncle Lin struggled with his thoughts every day in his spare time. Rationally, he admitted that what Lin Xiazhi said was reasonable, but emotionally, he felt that by doing so, he was taking advantage of the second brother's family and making him feel bad about him. The second brother's family was full of guilt.
Uncle Lin listened to the analysis by the county magistrate at the banquet for raising his son. He thinks that his birth is likely to go to Dianzhou County or Shudu County. Eyes, but in the eyes of many aristocratic families and hereditary high-ranking officials, his status is still inconspicuous. If he is sent to some wealthy place as a county magistrate, it will attract people's attention, and it may bring disaster to the Lin family.
Now that he has entered the eyes of the emperor, he will not be assigned to a particularly difficult place. As long as he can make some achievements and give the emperor a reason to promote him, then the future pipeline will not be too difficult, young It's nothing to suffer a little from time to time.
These words are from the bottom of the heart, and the sheriff also spoke to Uncle Lin because of the potential of the Lin family. It is not a bad thing for the people of the world to share the bitter cold place in everyone's eyes and give up. It is not a bad thing for the world that a student like him who considers the people enters the court and becomes an official.
What Uncle Lin thinks about is different from that of the county guard. He also thinks about the future of the Lin family. Uncle Lin didn't spoil his mind because of reading. He deeply knows that the wealth owned by the Lin family is not equal to their power.
Although the two families have apparently separated, he and his second brother's family are still of the same mind. Naturally, he has to think more about his family. Why does Xia Ge'er give the things he invented to him again and again? Doesn't the court just hope that the people in the court or the emperor can provide them with protection?
The emperor is always busy, and he has given imperial decrees to the Lin family, but if the Lin family does not contribute to the royal family, it is normal for the emperor to forget the Lin family, and the Lin family has already entered the eyes of those above. Once the emperor does not pay attention, The Lin family is just fat on the sticky board and let others slaughter them.
It is true that Lin Chengzong is very talented in reading, but he is not even a scholar now. It will be too long until he grows up and has the ability to protect the Lin family. The best way is for him to enter the officialdom, so that the Lin family will not be too passive.
Lin Xiazhi's proposal to drive the tofu and fragrance ten miles to Sichuan is no different than a shortcut. It can quickly develop the local economy after he takes office. Naturally, it is his political achievements. Brother's kindness.
Uncle Lin didn't tell Zhou Xiaozhu these thoughts, he nodded firmly to Zhou Xiaozhu: "I've already made up my mind, all the proceeds from the tofu will still go to the elder brother's family, and we will do the same as now when we drive to the Fragrant Ten Miles of Sichuan, as long as part of the proceeds, What do you think, Xiaozhu?"
What Zhou Xiaozhu couldn't let go of in Jiangning County was his relatives, who had gradually grown up in his hands. Being able to open Piaoxiang Tenli in Sichuan was no different from a great comfort to him: "Okay , then I’ll listen to you, let’s go to Xia Ge’er right now, Lin Chengyun can almost stand alone, I’m relieved to leave the shop here to him.”
"Okay, but let's go back to the village first and inform the family of this great news."
The husband and wife packed up some things and made their own donkey cart to go back to Linjiacun.
Uncle Lin’s family, because Zhou Xiaozhu is the shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Tenli, and there are also members of Piaoxiang Tenli, in fact, the family has accumulated a lot of money in the past two years, not to mention tens of thousands of taels, there are still taels, 3000 taels, but Uncle Lin's scooter is still a donkey cart.
When everyone found out that Uncle Lin had passed the examination, there was no need for a wealthy man to send him a horse-drawn carriage. First, Uncle Lin and his family had no spare space to raise horses in their house in the county town; It would be embarrassing to go out. Many poor people, not to mention donkey carts, walk barefoot to protect their shoes before entering the city.
In two days, Uncle Lin's family will leave Jiangning County for Shudu County. There are some inexhaustible things at home that can be brought back to the village to give to the villagers. The donkey cart only left a little space for the family of three to sit on.
"Master Juren is back." The ten-year-old boy in the village saw Uncle Lin and his donkey cart and shouted as he ran towards the village.
When Uncle Lin and the others returned to Linjiacun, it was the day when the Linjiacun school was on break. Half-grown children liked to stay at the entrance of the village. When they met businessmen who came to Linjiacun for the first time, they would get one or two coins or candy and other snacks when they asked for directions. As a reward, they have always enjoyed being guides.
With the greetings of these boys, the villagers working in the fields and at home came out to see Uncle Lin.
Uncle Lin had already asked his servants to go to the Lin family to briefly explain what happened to him. Lin Chengzu and Lin Huzi were standing at the door of the house waiting for their family,
The donkey cart stopped at the door of Lin's house, Zhou Xiaozhu and Lin Ancheng got off the car and entered the Lin's house, while Uncle Lin, Lin Huzi, and Lin Chengzu continued to drive the donkey cart to Lizheng's house.
"Second brother, why do you feel that there are fewer people in the village than before? It's not as lively as before." Uncle Lin greeted the villagers all the way, and he found a strange place.
"Third brother, you haven't been back to the village for a long time. Didn't something happen this year that Lin Chengyun was pregnant and Doufang made a noise not letting him work? At that time, Brother Xia went back to the village and said that the villagers should let their husbands The men went to work in the bean farm, and many husbands have come to work in the bean farm one after another, so those who are willing to go out to do business will go out to do business, and you will feel that there are fewer people in the village." Lin Huzi sighed.
"And this?" Uncle Lin was quite surprised. He knew that Lin Chengyun was pregnant. The Doufang in the village seemed to be out of order and he only went to Piaoxiang Shili. He didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns.
Lin Huzi scratched his head: "You also think Xia Geer's actions are very bold, I was shocked when I heard Xia Geer's actions at that time, but when I think about what he said, I think it makes sense .”
"What did Brother Xia say?" Uncle Lin was curious. He felt that the thoughts in his nephew's mind would always surprise people.
"Chengzu, Brother Xia said something, why don't you talk about it." Lin Huzi tapped his head. I didn't pay that much attention, and couldn't remember what Lin Xiazhi said in detail for a while, but only remembered the general idea.
Lin Chengzu got his father's order and succinctly relayed what Lin Xiazhi said at that time.
Uncle Lin fell into silence after hearing this. He felt that what Lin Xiazhi said made sense. Brothers are weaker than men in strength, but in other places, brothers may not be inferior to men. Many people are men working hard outside. Working hard to earn money, my brother can only be forced to stay at home to take care of the family. Maybe he can do some sewing and mending, but the money he earns is only rare, and it is not enough for the family. If it is really like what Xia Geer said Yes, most of the brothers can also find work outside like the men. Will it increase the income of some families?
But Uncle Lin also knows that the prejudice in people's hearts is an unbreakable wall. This wall is built by thousands of people, and it is not so easy to overthrow. Take their Lin family village as an example, there are still many people Secretly felt that Doufang's act of recruiting brothers was very outrageous.
The Lin family's uncles and nephews quickly walked to the door of Li Zheng's house. Li Zheng had already received the news and was waiting at the door: "Yuan Yuan, you are back."
"Big brother, I'll come back to see everyone." Uncle Lin jumped off the donkey cart first.
"It's good to be back. I've been listening to my man talking about when you'll be back these days." Wei Fulang let everyone into the house enthusiastically.
After Lin Xiaoshu entered the house, he announced the news that he was about to go to Shudu County to take a post, and then put the things brought back by the donkey cart to the villagers in the main room.
Seeing the uncles and nephews of the Lin family carrying things from the donkey cart one by one, Li Zheng hurriedly advised him: "It's so far to Shudu County, you should be careful on the road, you need to take all these things with you, you can use them on the road. If you don’t need it on the way to Shu, you can continue to use it, so as not to spend money on buying new things.”
What Lizheng said was really for the sake of Uncle Lin. As Lizheng, he knew more than the villagers. He went to Shudu County to work in the sky and far away.
Uncle Lin didn't stop moving things in his hands: "Big brother, I have a time requirement when I go to the office. Carrying too many items with me is cumbersome and drags down the itinerary. These daily necessities will be given to the new county magistrate Equipment, I don’t need to bring everything there, I’ll give these to the fellow clansmen in the village who have more difficult conditions.”
Uncle Lin doesn't know if the county government will equip the newly appointed county magistrate with these things, but he does have requirements when he takes office. How much is it, it is better to go to the local place to buy it now.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Li Zheng sighed, and could only ramble on about what he had accumulated from working in Li Zheng over the years.
Uncle Lin was the first person in their Lin family village to be an official in the imperial court. As a big brother, he would do as much as he could, and he couldn't hold back like some people.
