The Ring of Red Mansions is far from the heart

Situ Yuan raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect that this Baochai of the Xue clan was a decisive person.I can't help thinking of what Jia Huan said earlier, that the men in Jia's family cannot be supported, but the girls there are all good-looking.Now he believes it.

"Unexpectedly, Sister Xue is still a hero among fans." Jia Huan boasted. In the past, people often heard people praise Wang Xifeng. In Jia Huan's view, she was just one or two missing, and she didn't even know that Mrs. Wang used her as a spearman.This Xue Baochai is not only knowledgeable, but also scheming, all of which beat Wang Xifeng by a few blocks.

Xue Baochai shook her head, "I don't dare to be praised by Duke An. What the little girl did is just to save her life when things happen in the future."

"You can see clearly, and you are worthy of my thanks. You have saved us a lot of trouble." Jia Huan still thanked Xue Baochai sincerely. As he said, they didn't know how much work they saved. and dangerous yet. "As for the so-called life-saving talisman mentioned by Sister Xue, you can rest assured that even if Jinling City sinks, your family will still have a place."

After Xue Baochai heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, the little girl can rest assured that her father's intentions have not been disappointed." Standing up, she said to the woman who stopped them just now: "Ying'er, go with me. The shopkeeper said that all the consumption of the prince and An Guogong will be charged to my account today, so let them be smarter."

"Yes." Ying'er agreed, and went down to order.

Jia Huan was surprised, "Unexpectedly, this 'Sour Xianju' is actually the business of Sister Xue's family."

"This restaurant was originally owned by the Xue family. When the little girl got married, my brother gave it to me as a dowry. Because I liked the desserts of 'Tao Ran Ju' at the beginning, after returning to Jinling, I wanted to imitate the decoration of 'Tao Ran Ju'. , made An Guogong laugh."

Jia Huan shook his head, "Sister is too modest."

The two were polite over there, and after a while Xiao Er brought the food up. Since someone wanted to treat someone, Jia Huan would certainly not refuse, and Xue Baochai didn't stay long either. The two of them said goodbye and left. She also wanted to tell her elder brother the good news.

It didn't take long for Xiaoer to bring up the things they ordered, and the guards who followed them occupied the two adjacent rooms of their private room and the one opposite.Of course, it's not that they can only watch but not eat. Jia Huan said that he is really not that unkind.

Jia Huan looked at the good ingredients on this table, and his saliva was about to flow down, "Wow, it's really different to have sister Xue's here. Look at these dishes, the ingredients are all excellent, and they are almost as good as the emperor's." Royal meal."

Situ Yuan tapped Jia Huan's head with his fingers, and said helplessly: "Okay, you are causing trouble for 'Zuixianju', let's eat yours." As he said, he picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it It entered Jia Huan's mouth, "sealed" very standard...

Jia Huan stuck out his tongue, very embarrassed, he really forgot for a while, this is not his capital, but Jinling, which is full of dangers.I don't know how many people are staring at them. If he said this sentence, if someone with a heart heard it, he would really be able to clean up this "Drunken Immortal Residence".

However, "I didn't expect that it would take no effort at all. The old head of the Xue family is still a brain, and he was able to wake up. Although it is a bit late, it is not bad. After all, it can protect his children." life, and maybe you can get some big benefits from it." Jia Huan commented shaking his head.

"Then Xue Xiao is not an idiot, as can be seen from his two children. If Xue Pan hadn't been used to be so cruel before, he wouldn't have grown up like that. Plus his daughter, if Born as a man, the Xue family will not be defeated like this." Situ Yuan admired Xue Xiao very much.

"With this list, the remaining things should be easier to handle, right?" After finishing this official business, they can have more time to travel around the mountains and rivers.Jia Huan smacked his lips, or could he and Brother Yuan go out to sea directly with the big boat?Well, this one can have it!

"After all, these things have passed for several years, so we still have to check them carefully. After all, we can't let a bad person go, but we can't just wrong a good person, right?"

Jia Huan curled his lips, "Those people speak well and plead for the people. In the end, it's nothing more than 'being an official for thousands of miles is only for money'. For those people, no matter what they do, they will not be wronged!" Take a bite Situ Yuan's filial piety suddenly remembered another thing, "By the way, let them keep an eye on the Zhen family during this time, I'm afraid they will transfer the property."

"...Transfer property? How do you say it?" Situ Yuan was stunned, this term...he had never heard of it.

"The so-called keeping the green hills is not afraid of lack of firewood!"

Situ Yuan was thoughtful, "I think, I understand."

Jia Huan nodded in satisfaction, Confucianism can be taught!This matter, he also remembered that in the previous life, the Jia Wang family accepted the property that the Zhen family sent to the Jia family. This incident became the last straw that overwhelmed the Jia family. The Jia family is not the only one with wealth!Now that Jia Wang's family is dead, I don't know if Jia's mother, who is already living on her laurels, will take over the property of the Zhen family.

"By the way, there was news yesterday that the salt merchants in Yangzhou raised the price of salt by [-]%. Now the people in Yangzhou really can't afford salt. Does Huan'er have any tricks?" Regarding this matter, Situ Yuan asked It is also very annoying, this salt is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood.

Jia Huan paused for a moment, "I've really prepared for this matter a long time ago."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Situ Yuan immediately sat upright, with an air of listening attentively.

Jia Huan shook his head, "When I went to Yangzhou to meet Master Lin, as soon as I learned about the current salt tax system, I knew that something would happen to the salt tax sooner or later. So I asked Yang Hong to buy the Fujian area in advance. Thousands of miles of coast, used to dry salt, and now five years have passed, the salt I have on hand can at least last ten years for the people of Quandajing!"

"..." Situ Yuan opened his mouth wide, showing a rare shocked expression. "Is what Huan'er said true?" No wonder Situ Yuan was shocked. Although he and today both had a kind of blind trust in Jia Huan, they really didn't have much hope for the salt industry.Now asking Jia Huan about this matter is nothing more than a sudden medical emergency. Who knew that his family Huaner would give him such a big surprise!

Jia Huan rolled his eyes at him, "When did I lie to you? When Master Wuming and I traveled to Pucheng, Fujian Province, we found that they used wooden troughs to dry salt for food. The salt obtained in this way not only costs It is low, and there is no need to cut down too many trees to cook salt, and the yield is high. So I thought, if you build a salt field directly on the seaside and use it to dry salt, the yield must be much higher than boiling salt. Once the salt is no longer a rarity Expensive, the price has come down, the people can eat salt, and those salt merchants can no longer use this to blackmail the court. So I told a local fellow my thoughts, don't say, folks come out with masters Ah, as soon as I said it, the old man drew a rough picture of the salt field, and I asked Yang Hong to find some trustworthy people to go there to build the salt field and produce salt. Now it can be used. "

The talkative Jia Huan directly took Situ Yuan to write and draw on the dining table, and shared his ideas one by one. Poor Situ Yuan didn't know what Jia Huan was talking about, but he remembered it. For one thing, Huaner came up with a way to increase the production of salt!I am so happy!

When Jia Huan said he was thirsty and finally stopped drinking water, Situ Yuan didn't care that he was drinking water, and hugged him directly, "Good Huaner, I knew you had a way, Tell me quickly, how much salt do you have on hand, how much salt can you produce in a day, can you..."

"Stop, stop!" Jia Huan finally escaped from Situ Yuan's clutches, and wiped his cold sweat with his hand, he couldn't hold it any longer! "Let's say no slowly! Anyway, we've been waiting for so long, and it's not too late."

Situ Yuan smiled embarrassingly, "Aren't I excited? Brother Huang and I were still worrying about what to do next, but who knew that you would actually arrange it for us, Huan'er, you really are our favorite Lucky star." Situ Yuan touched Jia Huan's small face, and put his head against his, sighing.

Jia Huan lifted her chin arrogantly, and said triumphantly, "That's right! Don't even look at who I am!"

The two people in the "Drunken Immortal House" were eating their late lunch very warmly, but many officials in Jinling City were all dumbfounded after hearing what their rich sons said.A few dandies from the neighboring provinces rushed back in a hurry, fearing that they would be late and delay their business.

"What did you say?! Is this true?" In the official residence of the prefect of Jinling, a middle-aged man with a handsome face was sitting on the grand master's chair, but when he heard the words of his ineffective youngest son, Jumping up in fright, he kept asking.

"It's true. My son knows that this matter is of great importance, so he doesn't dare to talk nonsense."

The prefect of Jinling walked back and forth in his rather small study room with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something.When he turned around again, but saw his son still standing there, he immediately became angry, "Hurry up, get out, go back to your room, and be confined for three months!"

The young man also knew that today's matter was really out of his control, so he went back to the small courtyard where he lived in desperation, and thought about it behind closed doors.

The prefect of Jinling almost trampled the floor, and still couldn't figure out how to make a decision. As a last resort, he had to invite a master from his family.

The master came soon, and the prefect of Jinling didn't care about etiquette, so he directly told the master what his son had told him.This master is not an idiot, but a man of real talent and learning. When he heard what the prefect of Jinling said, his heart turned several times.

"My lord, do you like the patriarch more, or the young master who hasn't grown all hair yet?" The master asked sharply.The so-called head of the family refers to the present, and the young master, needless to ask, is the eldest prince.

When the prefect of Jinling heard the question, he couldn't help stopping his scurrying pace, thinking: Yes, the officials at the bottom form cliques. In the final analysis, isn't it because of the people at the top? "What's the master's opinion?" The prefect of Jinling asked sincerely, cupping his hands.

The master stroked his beautiful beard, "That day, Mr. Zhen's words were extravagant, and my subordinates felt that what he said was not possible."

"Oh? Then why didn't the gentleman say it at the time?"

The master smiled, "If my subordinates said that day, would my lord have listened to it? And at that time, all the affairs of the Jiangnan officialdom were in the hands of the Jiangnan Zhen family. But now, Master Zhen has gone to the capital, King Zhongrui and Duke Anguo came to the south of the Yangtze River from the capital. I don't believe that these two people really came to spend the so-called 'honeymoon'. Given the status of these two people in the emperor's heart, they really came to visit. Those who play in mountains and rivers must have come with missions secretly!"

The prefect of Jinling was thoughtful, "What else?"

"Now that the emperor is in his prime of life, he has all the powers in the court in his hands. Now he has created a six assistant minister. Didn't your lord notice it? The emperor has gradually handed over some not very important matters to the court directly. The Sixth Ministry and the Ministry of Commerce have completed it. Except for military and state affairs, the emperor and his elders have seldom intervened in the affairs of the court. But the adults in the Sixth Ministry are walking according to the established track, and there is no situation where there is no leader at all. , the power in the hands of the emperor has not disappeared at all, but he has taken King Zhongshun to the navy without bloodshed. With such an emperor, how could the Zhen family snatch food from others?"

"So what do you mean by Mr.?"

"The arrival of the prince and An Guogong this time has opened a door of convenience for us. We can take some things and submit a certificate!"

The prefect of Jinling was silent for a while. To be honest, he understood everything the master said. Unfortunately, he still had a little luck in his heart, and hoped that he would not have to go to that step in the end.Unfortunately, his wish was doomed to disappointment.

In Jinling City, the rich and powerful families all performed the same scene one after another, but the results were different.Among these people, many people decided to go to the black all the way, and more people waited and watched, but none of them immediately voted for the certificate.

Situ Yuan and Jia Huan ignored these people, and after the people from the Jinyi Institute found results based on the ledger and diary left by Xue Xiao, they finally started to attack these people.
