Baochai is a mermaid

That's right, who wants to discuss with him the love between Bao Dai and what parents order.

Xue Bao'er lay comfortably in Wei Chi's arms, and said bluntly: "Can you transfer Miss Lin's father from Yangzhou to the capital? This way, Miss Lin doesn't have to depend on others, and even if she really wants to marry the Jia family in the future, There are also elders who make decisions for her."

In the original book, isn't Lin Daiyu just watching her beloved cousin marry someone else because of her poor health and stronger personality, and she lost the favor of Jia's mother?

No matter how kind Jia's mother was to Lin Daiyu, she could never surpass her grandson Jia Baoyu. Once Jia Baoyu's interests conflicted with Lin Daiyu's, Jia's mother cruelly sacrificed her granddaughter in the end.

If Lin Daiyu had her father's protection, why was she bullied to death and died with hatred?

It's just that I don't know if transferring a local official to the capital will embarrass Wei Chi. After all, he is the supervisor of the country, not the emperor. It may not be so easy to intervene in the dispatch of officials.

Xue Bao'er pieced together the information she knew about Lin Ruhai from memory, and told Wei Chi. Wei Chi listened absent-mindedly at first, but suddenly interrupted her: "You mean...Tan Hua handpicked by the Holy Majesty Lang has been serving as a seventh-rank official until now?"

Whether it is the doctor of Lantai Temple or the later Xunyan Yushi, they are all seventh-rank officials.

After all, the doctor of Kelantai Temple is a Beijing official and a member of the central department. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor's confidant.Those who have done well can be transferred to the six yamen in a few years, and then they will be sent out to be a feudal official.

As far as Wei Chi knew, Xiao Shoufu followed this path, and now he has already become the chief minister of the cabinet, and the other officials who have left Lantai Temple, the worst ones are also in the third rank.

This Lin Ruhai... is really special.

Naturally, Xue Bao'er didn't know as much as Wei Chi, but she also felt that Lin Ruhai was a bit of a miser. She thought that the Xunyan Yushi was such a great official, but she didn't expect to be only a seventh-rank.

That is to say, the seventh-rank official can do it to death.

She thought for a while and guessed: "Perhaps Mr. Lin's personality is more... aloof and arrogant, he doesn't bother to associate with those people in the officialdom."

Lin Daiyu should be able to see the shadow of Lin Ruhai.

Wei Chi raised his eyebrows. After all, he came from a place like Lantai Temple, and he used to accompany the king. How lonely can he be?

As a result, after investigation, this Lin Ruhai was really "lonely and arrogant".In the past few years, he has been a salt patrol censor, and he has done nothing else, but has done some black and white business. No one in Yangzhou, from the salt merchant to the salt official, said he was good.

But the strange thing is that Lin Ruhai has all been first-class in the official examinations over the years.

Wei Chi suddenly became very interested in this person and called the Minister of the Household Department to inquire.The Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs hesitated and couldn't say anything, only said that Lin Ruhai was aloof and out of gregarious, but his political achievements were not bad.For the sake of money, the Ministry of Households reluctantly gave him a grade A in the annual examination.

When discussing politics in the imperial study room, Wei Chi asked Xiao Shoufu if he knew Lin Ruhai.I thought that as the chief assistant, he might not notice a seventh-rank official, but Xiao Shoufu actually remembered it. Not only did he remember it, but he also complained about Lin Ruhai.

The statement coincided with that of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, as if the two had confessed to each other in advance.

Wei Chi was even more curious, what kind of aloofness must this seventh-rank sesame official have to make his immediate superior and even several bigwigs in the cabinet unanimously complain about him.

So Wei Chi summoned Lin Ruhai to Beijing to report on his duties as a state supervisor, Lin Ruhai rushed to the palace and did not go to the imperial study to meet Wei Chi, but went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they were unexpectedly shut down. Fu Quanhai shook his whisk and said to Lin Ruhai, "The body of the Holy Dragon violates harmony. If you have something to do, please go to Jian Guo."

Lin Ruhai showed embarrassment: "There are some things that are inconvenient to tell Lord Jian Guo."

Fu Quanhai snorted softly: "Lord Lin really doesn't like oil and salt, the Holy Majesty gave all the jade seals to Lord Jian Guo, what else can we not say?"

The new fairy teacher said that the golden pill that the fairy teacher gave the emperor before contained cinnabar, which was poisonous, and the emperor had to take medicine to expel the erysipelas in order to save his life.

During the detoxification period, I wake up from dream to dream, but no matter whether I am dreaming or awake, no one is allowed to disturb me.

The emperor was so frightened that he ordered the imperial physician to see the immortal master's medicine. The imperial physician said that it was rare, and some of the medicines were as rare as dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder.

The emperor took the medicine for a few days suspiciously, and found that his body was much lighter, so he decided to retreat in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Afraid of delaying state affairs, he ordered Wei Chi to supervise the state and gave him the jade seal of the Chuan state.

Fu Quanhai is the emperor's confidant, so he naturally knows Wei Chi's real background, but this matter has not been made public, so it is inconvenient for him to tell Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai still didn't give up, and whispered in Fuquanhai's ear, "It's about money."

As the same confidant, Fu Quanhai is a little jealous of Lin Ruhai, who can stay in Yangzhou quietly and concentrate on making money for the emperor, passing a lot of money, who knows how much he will be greedy, unlike him who has to take care of all the bad things, and never let go good.

"Master Lin, how do we ask our family to call you?" Fu Quanhai said in a strange way, "The jade seals of Chuan Guo are kept by Mr. Jian Guo, and they can be used as they want. Is the money still a big deal?"

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was about to come up again, Fu Quanhai swept over with a whisk, turned around and entered the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and commanded in a hateful voice: "Close the door!"

From now on, the whole world will belong to the son of An Guogong, so he really treats that little money as a treasure!

In the past, it would have been fine if he shared a little bit with him, but Lin Ruhai, an iron rooster, ate meat by himself and didn't even let him drink some soup, so don't blame him for not giving him face.

Fu Quanhai thought that Lin Ruhai was just a small censor patrolling salt in Yangzhou, and how much silver he could transfer to the emperor's private treasury when Guiqi was in trouble, the upper limit was almost tens of thousands of taels.

If he was more patient and asked Lin Ruhai carefully about the amount of money, he would never dare to drive Lin Ruhai to Wei Chi's side.

Lin Ruhai had no choice but to go to the imperial study to see Wei Chi.

Wei Chi met him soon and asked him about the Yangzhou Salt Administration. Lin Ruhai answered fluently. Wei Chi asked about the Lianghuai Salt Administration. Lin Ruhai still answered fluently. Know everything lightly and say nothing.

Wei Chi was horrified, I'm afraid he might not be able to ask clearly even if he called the Minister of the Household Department, who would have thought that the little patrolling salt censor from Yangzhou would know the entire salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River like the palm of his hand.

After further chatting, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Lin Ruhai was not only familiar with the salt administration, but also knew about the salt transportation, as if he often dealt with it.

If Wei Chi could hear the sincere words of the Jiangnan Salt Administration and Salt Transport officials, it would not be difficult to know how scheming this little Yangzhou patrol salt censor, a scholar who was born in Tanhualang, was scheming to steal their money ruthless.

In the past few years when Lin Ruhai was in charge of Yangzhou, the Jiangnan Salt Administration, Salt Transport, and Feichai had nothing to do with each other. Even if there were salt merchants who came to the door with bank notes, few dared to accept them.Once it is collected, it will be found out soon. Not only will the salt tax be paid up, but there will also be two sets of losing the official and confiscating property.

The salt tax is not limited, and the loss of an official is also on the register, but the family property... who dares to say so clearly?

It's not uncommon to be black and black in the Jiangnan officialdom, but Lin Ruhai is so lonely, so out of place, so ruthless, and he is the only one who is shitting like a scorpion.

It's not that no one resisted, and many people wrote letters of impeachment, but Lin Ruhai didn't even move his nest, and remained in Yangzhou.

So some people speculated that there was someone in Lin Ruhai's head, and this person was a member of the cabinet.

The big bosses in the cabinet didn't know that they somehow took the blame for the emperor, and even after beating the drums, they gathered in the imperial study to worry about the Northwest military expenditure.

Wei Chi's Wuju Enke collected 8 to [-] taels of silver on a whim, but this amount of money was not enough for the Northwest War. He barely made up for the payment owed the year before last year, and the payment for last year and this year has not yet been paid.

If it weren't for King Zhongshun's pressure, let alone a war, it would be good if the Northwest Army didn't rebel.

Because of the lack of payment, there were repeated reports of mutiny among the garrison troops in southern Fujian, and some even took over the island directly and became king in a hurry.

But in the capital, the Minister of the Ministry of Households almost scratched his head and couldn't think of a way to make money. After all, every income of the imperial court is counted, so we can't apportion or increase the tax burden indiscriminately.

If it was a good year, it would be easy to talk about it, but it happened to be a year of catastrophe. Don't even think about apportionment and tax increase, and you have to spend extra money for disaster relief.

Unlucky things are all caught up together, and it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

So some people put their ideas on those wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. Last year, they had apportioned it three times. This year, those wealthy businessmen are all crying for poverty, and no one is willing to give money for nothing.Someone in the cabinet gave Wei Chi an idea, suggesting that the royal family make an exception and marry a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River, and dig some money through marriage.

As soon as this idea came out, the entire imperial study room became eerily quiet for an instant.

Everyone knows that the south of the Yangtze River is rich and rich, and the number of rich and wealthy is unknown. It is not an exaggeration to say that any family is rich and invincible.

Because of the law in this dynasty, the court ordered officials and their family members not to engage in business, so the boundary between officials and merchants was clearly distinguished.

Therefore, as an official in agriculture, industry and commerce, the business rank is at the bottom, and the social status is also the lowest. Even if the wealth is incomparable to the country, it is still despised by the official family, let alone be associated with it.

Don't even think about marriage.

From ancient times to the present, merchants want to climb the high branches of Shilin, or to improve their social status, or to make things easier for someone in the court. They usually reluctantly give their own daughters, or even the eldest daughters, to officials. concubine.

Or the most common kind of concubine, a slave-like existence.

Shilin even despises marriage with Shangmen, let alone Tianhuang nobles.

But now and then, at present, the imperial court urgently needs a large sum of money due to internal and external troubles, and this money can only come from Jiangnan, and only Jiangnan can get it.

Let people move out of their homes to block holes for the court, and the court must also show some sincerity in exchange.

Marriage is the fastest way, and it is also what those rich and powerful in Jiangnan urgently need, just give them a false title.

Isn't there two princesses waiting to be married in the harem? If you can marry the princess, the rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River will have to squeeze their heads to send money to the court.

Although this idea is a bit bad, and the method of exchanging the princess for silver is also very disgusting, but this is the fastest way the cabinet can come up with to get the silver. Even if the Holy Majesty handles the government himself, I am afraid he will not object.

After a moment of silence in the imperial study room, the cabinet reached a consensus within half an hour for the first time, and then Qi Qi raised his eyes to Wei Chi who had been silent all this time, waiting for him to nod.
