Qingshan Villa, Wangshan Hall.
Sitting in the Wangshan Hall, you can see the beautiful mountains and clear waters from a distance, enjoy the breeze blowing on your face, make a pot of tea, and relax on the lounge chair to relax all afternoon.
Yang Lin walked around and said that he liked the environment here very much. He also asked someone to make a pot of good tea that he brought specially from the Imperial City. Then he invited several major officials from Fengri City who followed him to sit around with him. , chatting while drinking tea.
"I've heard for a long time that there are outstanding people in Fengli City, and now it turns out it's true."
Yang Lin seemed to be relaxing casually while sitting on the chair, but his eyes always scanned everyone's face with scrutiny.
Wu Changhe sat on Yang Lin's left hand side, while Xie Youlin sat on the right. The rest sat around in turn. Directly opposite Yang Lin is a wide opening, where you can directly see the mountain stream outside.
"Your Highness King Shou, the scenery of Fengri City is indeed very good, and the surrounding products are rich. Food alone accounts for 60% of the output of Jingxi. There are also several large-scale high-quality iron mines, and 30% of the pig iron in Jingxi is It also comes from Fengri City. If your Highness is interested in your visit this time, I would be honored to show you around." Xie Youlin extended the invitation with a smile while holding a tea cup.
"I've heard about this. Fengli City has a name called "Jingxi Granary", right? Not only does it have high output, but it also has high-quality products. I remember that my father's favorite tide rice is produced here in Fengli City.
But is Fengri City’s pig iron production so high? I haven't heard anyone mention it before. Let’s go and see it this time. "
"Haha, don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely make arrangements for you."
No matter where Yang Lin wants to go, it will be on the borders of Fengli City after all. Xie Youlin has many ways to let the other party see the shining points of his governance. If political achievements are only written in official newspapers, how can they be as profound as seeing them in person?
Xie Youlin here basically knelt down and licked him, obviously taking the initiative to get closer to Yang Lin's feet, and his legs were clearly visible. Everyone present will be able to understand it if they think about it for a while.
Xie Youlin was born in an academy. When he was young, he went from a government-run academy to the Imperial City. Later, because of his outstanding theoretical understanding of local government affairs, he was promoted to the Imperial Academy as a teacher.
Where is Huanglinyuan? It was a place for the royal children to study and further their studies. Not only the princes received education there, but also all the royal relatives who were qualified would send their eldest sons to the Imperial Academy to stay for a few years. It was the highest-level educational institution in the Jingji Dynasty, and it was also the best hotbed for potential stocks.
My classmates will be either princes or heirs in the future, or at worst they will be relatives of the emperors in the high-profile red walls. Even if they hang around there for a few years, they will learn nothing, but they will definitely be able to get to know many future bosses. Maybe they can rely on these connections. Maybe he can become a big boss in the future.
The president of Huanglin Academy was personally led by the emperor of the current dynasty, and the daily management was controlled by the vice president. The current vice president is the uncle of the fifth [Shuquge] prince Yang Lin, a bachelor of the imperial court, and the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Jia Wenhe.
Therefore, Yang Lin was naturally able to obtain connections belonging to the Huanglin Academy. And the relationship network and promotion resources that Xie Youlin relied on from the beginning as a teacher to a local official were all on the academy line, or in other words, the Huanglin Academy line. Naturally, he got close to Yang Lin.
Everyone sitting in Wangshan Hall figured this out.
But one thing that surprised them all was: even the fifth prince ended up personally. Has the situation above become this intense?
After all, the highest establishment in Fengri City is only the fifth grade, which is not low outside the imperial city, but it is still quite far away from the temple, and they know very little about the situation inside the temple.
Generally speaking, the fifth prince, who rarely moved around, personally came to Fengli City. There were too many implications in this action.
Everyone was drinking tea, chatting and laughing, holding Yang Lin in the middle, and everyone was thinking about how to deal with Yang Lin's possible wooing. Are you taking sides now? Whenever he has a choice, he will not make a decision easily, because if he bets wrongly, Yang Lin will lose and become a prince at worst, but the people below will be in bad luck. He will lose his official position at the least, and lose his head in the worst case. It's possible.
Although Wu Changhe is not as good at licking or as thick-skinned as Xie Youlin, he is also very enthusiastic about Yang Lin. The two looked even more "familiar".
"Your Highness and Mr. Wu seem to have known each other before?" Xie Youlin asked curiously.
"Haha, Mr. Wu used to be my guard. After his cultivation broke through the Yuan Dan realm, he was promoted to the Xuanqing Guard in order to make him contribute more to the country." Yang Lin seemed to be answering. Xie Youlin's question, but his two words made everyone else in the room feel dizzy.
What's the meaning? The Qianhu officer in the Xuanqing Guard Qianhu Office in Fengri City was actually a close guard of King Shou? And it was King Shou who recommended him to serve in Xuanqing Guard? !
Does this mean that Wu Changhe and Xie Youlin have already been in Yang Lin's pocket?
The scene suddenly became a bit dull. Several chamber of commerce presidents who followed in had stiff smiles on their faces and wanted to turn around and leave. The guard Qianhu officer looked at the scenery outside the house and seemed to be unable to hear anything Yang Lin said just now.
No one thought that Yang Lin's style would be so direct. Less than an hour after arriving in Fengli City, two big cards were revealed.
The officer in charge of the local government office in Fengli City and the Qianhu Officer of Xuanqing Guard Qianhu Office in Fengli City are the two biggest bosses in Fengli City. Now they are all members of King Shou.
Is this a threat?
The presidents of several chambers of commerce were on pins and needles and couldn't even smile. The most nervous person is naturally Guard Qianhu. He belongs to the military and has little contact with the local government and Xuanqing Guard. After all, he belongs to different systems. But now Yang Lin's eyes were always glancing at him both inside and outside of his words, and his meaning couldn't be more obvious.
However, the garrison's Qianhu couldn't answer the question and could only pretend to be stupid. He is a member of the military. How dare he side with the prince? And it’s still a blatant stand? Does he still need his head?
Fortunately, Yang Lin didn't push too hard. As soon as the conversation changed, he switched to something else, and the atmosphere slowly became lively again.
At noon, a banquet was held in the hall of the villa. There were eight tables in total. All the important figures in Fengri City were present to welcome King Shou.
During the dinner, Shen Hao found that except for Wu Changhe and Xie Youlin, the faces of the other guests at the main table were not normal, and they seemed to be worried.
"It doesn't look right." Gan Lin touched Shen Hao beside him with his elbow and whispered.
"Yeah. I'll leave after eating. Where are the two eldest brothers?"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Anyway, their positions were neither high nor low. Even if King Shou came to Fengri City to do something, he would not be able to find them.
