Daming talker

Chapter 451 Professional Competition

Sanniangzi, who was sitting opposite, heard that Governor Xu seemed to be scolding an "imperial envoy" and asked quickly: "What imperial envoy are you talking about?"

After all, she was a figure in the northern part of the country, so she didn't know much about the dynamics of the imperial court. In addition, Lin Qin's mission was very low-key, so she really didn't know the situation.

After Xu Shouqian thought for a moment, Governor Xu replied provocatively: "The imperial court sent a layman to inspect the Xuan Mansion and ordered the horse market to be temporarily closed and all your ministries to be re-examined. Don't you think this is nonsense?"

"How is this possible?" Sanniangzi said subconsciously.

Ever since Longqing negotiated peace, she has always been in charge of horse market affairs here on the grassland.

She crossed the border wall and entered the Ming border town. It was not a secret in the tribe, and many leaders knew about it.

But now if there is news that the horse market is temporarily closed, what will the tribes think of her?
Could it be that she was using Ming's self-respect to force the tribes to support her, or that she angered Ming officials and caused the horse market to close?

Governor Xu added even more jealously: "It can be seen that this Imperial Commissioner Lin is very hostile to your grassland tribesmen, and he is probably a hard-liner who is leading the battle."

Sanniangzi frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "Increasing the tribute and reward is of great importance. I need to return to the side wall of Zhangjiakou Fort to convince the other leaders."

Zhangjiakou Fort is only sixty miles away from Xuanfu Town, and it takes half an hour to get there quickly.

Watching the master leave, Governor Xu sneered.

This is true. Although the official titles of governors of border towns and governors of inland provinces are both governors, their actual attributes are still different. The governor of border towns has a greater military attribute.

Governor Xu ordered: "Let Zhang Zhenren spread the news and build public opinion first!"

Judging from the funding application returned to our procuratorate, it is definitely a bad person! What's more, this person has an old enmity with Zhao Gong, the proprietor's fellow villager and the official selection officer. "

Then Governor Xu added: "Lin Tailai is still a little clever. On the premise that he cannot seize military power, he knows to seize financial power first after entering the city.

After the master sent the third lady out for Governor Xu, he came back and said to Governor Xu: "This lady heard that another imperial envoy arrived at the Xuan Mansion. I'm afraid she didn't want to wait and see for profit."

Of course, "the price cannot be negotiated" is just an excuse. Sanniangzi knows that the current situation is unclear and can only listen to Governor Xu's "fooling" unilaterally, so she withdraws first to inquire about the news.

The master added: "The princes in the capital have written letters saying that Lin Tailai is cruel, cunning, capricious, and good at convincing people with force, so he is called Jin Bu.

Mutinies in border towns due to pay disputes are nothing new.

This means that the thirty thousand taels you ask for, Governor Xu, is a bit too much. She cannot make the decision on her own and needs to go back to discuss with others.

But he didn't realize that in a border town where officers and soldiers are everywhere, financial power is also a double-edged sword, which can sometimes hurt him. "

He, Xu Shouqian, could sit firmly in the position of governor of Xuanfu for several years, and could even oust Li Rusong, the emperor's favorite general, but he was not the same as those mediocre people from the mainland!
When it comes to creating public opinion, he is a professional, not to mention he is playing at home!
First there were rumors spreading, and then there was the trick of officials and soldiers quarreling over pay. Although it is a classic, it is really useful!

Zhang Encheng was the deputy chief military officer of Xuanfu Town and had an iron-clad relationship with Xu Shouqian in sharing the stolen goods.

Xu Shouqian snorted coldly: "This is the Xuanfu. He doesn't think that our court and the governors from the mainland are the same species, right?"

The master has followed me for so many years and has already established a tacit understanding. "Let's let the wind go first? Are you saying that this spring's reward money has been suspended due to the obstruction of Imperial Envoy Lin?"

For example, the pacesetters of inland governors are basically under-staffed. They often only have two to three hundred people, and even three to five hundred is considered too much. Their combat effectiveness is about the same as that of government officials.

Xu Shouqian said confidently: "She doesn't have anything to worry about. Today she didn't agree to the 30,000 taels, and next time it won't be this price."

And the pacesetters of the governor of the border town often numbered seven to eight hundred, and they were all elite soldiers, and some numbered in the thousands.

The beautiful interracial young woman has a unique style and is quite alluring. I heard she is also very open-minded.

In addition, as an outsider, she did not want to be involved in the fighting between the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise it would be easy for her to be two-faced.

Lin Tailai, the imperial envoy who inspected Xuanfu Town, sat in the Department of Household Affairs for a day and sorted out the financial work.

He has to go back to Heifu to stay at night, because it is relatively safe here.

After all, Lin Tailai had only brought a dozen followers with him in order to move quickly. Most of the servants and the 200 officers and soldiers of the Beijing Battalion were still behind.

There are also safety considerations when choosing to work in the Household Banking Department, because there is a bank in the Household Banking Department and hundreds of kudin are stationed there all year round. When leaving from Hubu Xingsi, Lin Tailai told the right protector Zhang Wu who was following him:
"Tomorrow you will use my imperial envoy banner to visit and preach at various military camps in the city.

Just say that I, the Imperial Envoy, have recently been in charge of the Household Affairs Department and have begun to perform my duties to check whether Governor Xu has engaged in corruption or bribery. Everyone is welcome to come forward and provide information. "

Zhang Wu said doubtfully: "Just one sentence, I'm afraid no one will come to provide information, right?"

Lin Tailai replied: "What do you know? I just want to create public opinion that Governor Xu is corrupt, and I don't really expect anyone to report the governor or provide useful clues!"

When it comes to creating public opinion, Lin Tailai is a professional, even if this is an away game!
They continued to rest in Hei Mansion that night, but Commander Hei, who was entrusted by Lin Qin to handle matters, did not show up.

On the second day, Imperial Commissioner Lin continued to spend time at the Household Department, using this gesture to declare his control over the money bag!

In the evening, Zhang Wu, the right guardian who was sent to create public opinion, hurried back and reported: "Something is not good!"

Lin Tailai said in surprise: "You can't even do this little thing well? I just asked you to go to the barracks and complain about the governor's corruption.

You should be very good at pretending to be powerful in my name. "

Zhang Wu quickly continued to report: "When I went to various military camps in the city to convey my intention to sit in the palace, I heard another rumor that spread even more widely!

It is said that because of you, the issuance of silver coins this spring will be stopped! There should be some opponents who are deliberately spreading rumors and leading! "

Lin Tailai said disapprovingly: "What's there to panic about?"

In a war of public opinion, it is normal to be maliciously smeared by your opponent, and there is no need to make a fuss about it.

Zhang Wu followed Lin Tailai for a few years and learned a few things. He continued: "However, the topic of Lin Qin's suspension of payment and reward money is more popular than the topic of Governor Xu's bribery!"

Damn it! Lin Tailai couldn't bear it anymore. He could tolerate being smeared by his opponent, but he couldn't tolerate his opponent creating more heat than himself!

So Lin Tailai became serious, "Awu, you've been following me for so long, haven't you learned the most advanced moves yet?"

Feeling the powerful aura bursting out from Zuo Guan, the right protector Zhang Wu said weakly: "I only learned how to hit people. I haven't used the most high-end moves in Zuo Guan a few times."

"Then I will teach you step by step this time!" Lin Tailai said without question. His professional quality does not allow anyone to challenge him!
Another day later, Governor Xu was in the procuratorate's public room, listening to the master's report: "In the past two days, the imperial envoy's entourage has visited various barracks and announced everywhere that he was ready to investigate whether the proprietor was corrupt."

Governor Xu sneered and said, "What's the use of this?"

He was fighting on the home field, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang Zhencheng was personally deploying, and he firmly controlled the communication channels. The topic of "governor corruption and bribery" could not be more popular than "imperial envoys' suspension of pay and rewards"!

Besides, "stop hair, pay and reward money" is more straightforward, and it is easier for the audience to care about their immediate interests!

As long as you can control the popularity of the topic, it means that the morale of the military is on your side, and you can let the imperial envoy see what a real mutiny is at any time!
But after the master hesitated for a moment, he still answered truthfully: "Actually, I am more enthusiastic about building momentum for my family."

Xu Shouqian was shocked, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Did you make a mistake, or is Zhang Zhencheng incompetent?"

It makes no sense at all. How could you be less enthusiastic than your opponent?

The master smiled bitterly and said: "When the entourage sent by my opponent visited the barracks, I don't know what dialect and accent they used.

When they mentioned the proprietor's surname, their pronunciation always sounded like Xu Zongqian.

As a result, in one day, the name Xu Shouqian became popular throughout the city and spread throughout the barracks. No keyword was more popular than this one. "

Xu Shouqian collects money in brackets: "."

Young people are not polite! I have never seen such a despicable and shameless person!
The master sighed and said: "I heard that this trick can even win the top prize, but I didn't expect that it would be used on the proprietor today."

"We can learn from this! Find a way to arrange his name!" Xu Shouqian said through gritted teeth.

The master quickly advised: "Master, calm down! The name Lin Tailai is an auspicious sign designated by the emperor! You can't arrange it randomly!"

Governor Xu: "."

This person who is riding a horse has absolutely no laws of heaven and no royal law! Lin Tailai can do it, but I promise to accept money but can't do it?
