Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and someone outside said: "My lords, Second Miss, the villain is Wang Cheng, the big housekeeper of the Lin family, who just arrived in Qingzhou a few days ago to escort the first batch of [-] catties of sweet potatoes, and there is also a letter written by our master." One, you need to face Miss."

Xing Xiuyan hastily let her in.

After Wang Cheng came in, he saluted, and then said: "I have met Mr. Xing, and I have met Miss Er. This is a letter from our master."

It turned out that Wang Cheng didn't follow the Xing family's family members by land, but took the sweet potato to Shandong by sea.As for that letter, it was a reply to Xing Xiuyan's plan.

It turned out that when Xing Xiuyan bid farewell to Lin Daiyu before leaving, she didn't wait for Lin Ruhai to return from the Yamen, so she told Lin Daiyu about the plan and asked Lin Daiyu to tell Lin Ruhai.

In the letter, Lin Ruhai clearly told Xing Xiuyan that he not only dispatched the resources of the Lin family to help the Xing family overcome this difficulty, but was also willing to bear 80 of the debt.

Zhao Tingcan exchanged glances with Zeng Mianzhi and Zuo Jinghang, and finally Zuo Jinghang spoke:

"Lin Shilang Gao Yi, miss Gao Yi, I feel ashamed to be an inferior official. It's just that the inferior official's family is weak, and he really has no power."

It's not that they don't want to do it. Of course, the weak family background is the secondary reason. They really don't have the confidence!There is no way, the fighting power of the cabinet ministers is really amazing.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered!

"How can my niece not know about my uncle's difficulties? It is a fact that the salaries of civil and military officials are meager. Please accept this job as well. After all, it will be necessary to ask my uncle to take care of some of you in the future."

After speaking, he gave Zuo Jinghang a salute, and Zuo Jinghang quickly helped him up:

"Niece Xian is too polite. I'm ashamed."

Having said that, half of the profit was accepted.

Not only Zuo Jinghang, but also Zhao Tingcan and Zeng Mianzhi.

It's not that they are thick-skinned, but the rules of the game.If they don't accept them, they will be suspected of being whistleblowers, but if they accept them, Xing Xiuyan doesn't have to worry about them making whistleblowers, and Xing Zhong can handle his business with peace of mind.

After sending Zhao Tingcan, Zeng Mianzhi, and Zuo Jinghang away, Fan Qingyun and Fang Zhiping also left, Xing Zhong couldn't sit still: "Girl, you are too courageous!"

It's fine for a woman to disguise herself as a man, but she's still talking about it with the three adults!

Just now Xing Zhongdu was holding a cold sweat for his daughter!

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly served tea to her father, and said, "Father, don't be in a hurry to get angry with your daughter, first read what the adoptive father said in the letter."

Xing Zhong still stared at her: "This matter is not your responsibility."

"Father~! Now it's not whether my daughter should take care of this matter, but how our family should deal with the next thing. My daughter doesn't believe it. My foster father didn't mention it to you. Shandong is connected to Gyeonggi-do. If Shandong is unstable , the refugees will definitely attack the capital. When the time comes, the desert will get news and send troops south, I am afraid that the Central Plains will be devastated again."

When Xing Zhong heard about it, he froze.

Lin Ruhai really told him this, and told him that the stability of Shandong is the top priority in everything.

Xing Zhong glared at his daughter angrily, then lowered his head to read the letter.

There are two letters from Lin Ruhai, but they are both related to Xing Xiuyan's plan.One was for Zhao, Zeng, Zuo and Fan Fang just now, while the other was for Xing Zhong.In the letter, Lin Ruhai greatly praised Xing Xiuyan, saying that Xing Xiuyan had a clever mind and came up with such a way to solve the problem of grain transportation. He also praised her for her talent, broad vision, and keen sense of smell, and she was not limited to Shandong.

That's right, if it is a water transport ship, it will be scraped by the governor of the water transport and the soldiers of the water transport. This will definitely make things worse for Shandong, which has been plagued by locusts for a year and the treasury is almost empty. May be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Lin Ruhai also agreed with the idea of ​​dragging Governor Qilu, Governor Shandong, and Admiral of the Yellow Sea Navy into the water together.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Lin Ruhai told Xing Zhong in the letter: How many sweet potatoes does the Lin family have now, how many are from the south, how many are from the north, how many can be transported, and how can they be transported from the south and north every month? How much will be shipped, which port to call at, and so on, etc., are clearly planned.

Lin Ruhai also mentioned work-for-relief and officials' greed for cruelty again in the letter, and mentioned how to avoid it and so on.He even suggested that Xing Zhong take the opportunity to buy more fields to avoid being exploited by others.

Obviously, Lin Ruhai thought more carefully and thoughtfully than Xing Xiuyan.

As for the part of Xing Xiuyan's plan involving the peninsula, Lin Ruhai also made a note in the letter: If Xing Zhong accepted the script, he would find a way to help Zhou Quan.

Lin Ruhai also mentioned Xing Zhong, saying it very cryptically, but to the effect that the emperor was short of money, and now is the best time to break the sea ban.

Xing Xiuyan finished reading Lin Ruhai's letter next to her father, and said in a low voice, "It looks like it won't work if you don't borrow money from the giants in Shanshan and Shanxi."

Xing Zhong felt a toothache when he heard about borrowing money.

What he hated most in his life was borrowing money from others, and what he hated most was owing money to others!

You know, the interest rate of private loans is very high.Xing Zhong remembered clearly how those families who borrowed money were ruined!They were so miserable back then, he didn't even think about borrowing money, but now that he's developed, why should he borrow money from others instead?

He doesn't want to borrow it.

He said: "Now that I have borrowed it, how can I pay it back?"

Xing Xiuyan keenly noticed his mistake.

She said: "Father, there is a saying that the timid will starve to death and the bold will die. There is also that old saying, don't borrow money if you are in a hurry. If our family still has the last meal and the next meal, my father insists on not borrowing it. My daughter absolutely agrees with both hands and feet. Because we really couldn’t afford it back then, we would rather cut down on food and clothing than live on loans, because the price of not being able to pay back is too high! But it’s different now. Are we still hungry? ? Borrowing chickens to lay eggs is the only way to get rich. Although the name is not good, but my father also knows that in a famine year, whoever can afford to buy food and land is also a bodhisattva for the common people! In the famine year, the land price can be doubled at least! My daughter believes that before my father left, my aunt would have mentioned to my father what kind of family the Confucian Mansion in Shandong is like! If there is no land in hand, the daughter will worry about her father In the future, you will be restrained everywhere!"

After hearing this, Xing Zhong remained silent.

After a long time, I heard him say: "Forget it, this matter is not urgent. In this way, you will leave for Laizhou early tomorrow morning to find your third aunt. Go and get the shark fishing first. He is the general judge of Laizhou. Nothing would work without him."

"Yes, father."

After all, Xing Zhong is Xing Xiuyan's father, he has already made his decision, so naturally she dare not persuade him any more.

Xing Zhong is not stupid either.At least he had talked with Lin Ruhai before he left Beijing, and he knew the seriousness of the situation.

This will definitely be a big crisis for the current emperor after he ascends the throne. The only thing that makes him feel at ease is that although the governor of Qilu, the governor of Shandong, and even the admiral of the Yellow Sea Navy are not all emperors, these three are flexible in mind and good in character. Those who are trustworthy will never sit back and watch the crisis in the Central Plains, this is what Lin Ruhai told him.

Therefore, as the highest civil affairs official in Shandong Province, he can do it freely.

Maybe his ability is limited, but he has Lin Ruhai!

If these three were the kind of foolish and loyal people, or if they were corrupted minds who knew how to hold on to those ruthless people, Xing Zhong would not let his daughter disguise himself as a man.

It's just that what his daughter said was too big, and there were many things he didn't quite understand. He needed to consult Lin Ruhai for advice.

After the calculation was settled, Xing Zhong went back to Jinan Buzhengshi's government office to write letters and memorials.He can write the letter by himself, and the master will help with the memorial, but there is something in his heart.

Before going to sleep, thinking of his daughter's proposal, Xing Zhong couldn't help but sigh.

This girl is too courageous.

Seeing that her husband was unhappy, Mrs. Xing thought that something had happened. After repeated questioning, she learned of her daughter's suggestion to her husband. She immediately patted her thigh and said, "Wonderful~! That's exactly how it should be!"

Xing Zhong was dissatisfied: "Why are you joining in the fun!"

Mrs. Xing gave him a blank look, and said, "What do you mean by joining in the fun! Now, which family out there doesn't buy some property when they are in office? We may not know about other people's families. When Mr. Lin was in Yangzhou, the person in front of him didn't We also bought a lot of fields. Otherwise, when we went to Beijing that year, why didn’t the housekeeper of the Lin family come with us? Didn’t he go to deal with those fields? Thinking about our family, the foundation is shallow, and the family has to cut a lot of new clothes for the daughter. Look at the boxing gift sent from outside! You don’t allow me to accept the family business from outsiders! If you say it’s not ours, you can’t take it. Now I have such an opportunity! Xing Dequan, let me tell you, if you don’t agree with me, I will You are in a hurry!"

Xing Zhong?

Xing Zhong was dumbfounded!

This is the first time his wife has choked with him.

However, if you think about it, this is true.

He was a farmer, so he knew how desperate farmers were when they sold their fields!Therefore, Xing Zhong felt very sorry for using such a little ration to buy the lifeblood of the peasants.

But what if I feel sorry?

Xing Zhong knew very well that even without him, there would be other people, such as the Confucius family, who took the opportunity to rob and earn a lot of land.

This is land annexation.

Xing Zhong knew about the land annexation, but he couldn't tell the specific harm of the land annexation.After all, he is not a well-educated person who came over ten years ago in the true sense.But he knew that with guilt in his heart, he would try his best to take care of these farmers who lost their land within his ability, but if it was someone else, he couldn't guarantee that the other party would be the same as him.

With such thoughts in mind, Xing Zhong didn't sleep all night.

After tossing around in the middle of the night, he still got up, dug out the written notebooks and letters again, burned them, and dug up the four masters, and discussed them until dawn. Beijing.

The book is a secret book for the emperor, but the letter is for Lin Ruhai.

In the letter, he mentioned the four masters and his popular science about the cabinet ministers' opposition to the sea ban, and then he raised his own doubts, hoping to get Lin Ruhai's answer.Finally, regarding the plan for Daughter Keng Peninsula, Xing Zhong directly said that although he himself thought it was very risky, he felt that this matter had great potential.

Without him, seeing the war is approaching, the emperor must be short of money.As long as the emperor nods, he can provide a steady stream of money without him paying a copper coin.

No matter how Xing Zhong looked at it, he didn't think the emperor would refuse.

As long as the emperor wants to do something under the eyes of the Taishanghuang, he can't refuse.

There are quite a few people in Jiangnan secretly working as maritime merchants. Xing Zhong knows what happened to the Jiangnan king in the previous dynasty.

Maritime merchants come to make money, and the profits will jump tenfold!

This is common sense that he, an old farmer in the countryside of Gusu, knows!
