[Red House] Raiders of life

Since then, Lin Ruhai has been busy.But he is currently working in the Hanlin Academy, but he is only a fifth-rank editor, and he is not yet qualified for the memorial.He doesn't have it, but others do.

In some things, you can't be too greedy for merit. In the officialdom, you have to learn how to deal with relationships, how to do something well to show your talent without suffering too much jealousy from others.Most importantly, someone values ​​you and is willing to protect you.

Lin Ruhai's first step was to find Li Shangshu, of course secretly.

In the second step, I went to find my own teacher.Du Ruo, a cabinet scholar.

Du Ruo also felt very good about Lin Ruhai's method.It's just that the famine hasn't broken out yet, so it would be abrupt to hand over this brochure rashly, and I'm afraid it will be caught by political opponents, saying that it's like expecting something to happen to the country.

But this year's heavy snow is visible to everyone.So, Du Ruo went to Qin Tianjian to check the weather these days.It took a few more days to discuss a series of preventive measures with his subordinates and staff, such as the court building a simple house, not asking for more good things, but seeking for solidity.Avoid that the house will be damaged by ice and snow, and the people will have nowhere to go.For example, let the yamen servants patrol more closely, so that if something happens, they can be found in time and rescued in time.

Lin Ruhai was fortunate to participate in the whole process.A few days later, Du Ruo handed over the brochure.

Twenty-five years ago, the yamen will be closed, and the yamen will be opened on the fifth day of the new year.Just a few days before the closing of the Yamen.Lin Ruhai was promoted.

He was transferred to the household department and became a regular fifth-rank employee.The official rank is not high, only promoted one level.But the emperor gave him another title, allowing him to walk in front of the imperial court.

Then, time flies and it's New Years Eve.

Lin Ning has a high status now, she is an old lady, and she doesn't need to do anything.In the whole mansion, she became the most leisurely one.Three meals a day, open your mouth when the meal comes.Get up every day, clothes to reach out.Life is so leisurely.

On the first day of the new year, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min came to pay their respects. Lin Ning deliberately dismissed Jia Min and said to Lin Ruhai, "A few days ago, your daughter-in-law went back to her mother's house, and there seemed to be some unpleasantness. These days, she has been worried."

Lin Ruhai could tell that Jia Min had something on his mind these days. He asked, but he didn't get anything out of it. Now that Lin Ning said that, he felt that there was something wrong.

Lin Ning went on to say: "The day I told you that the Ministry of Households owed money, she was also there, and she listened to everything we said. Jia's family owed a lot of money back then. I'm afraid she went back to her mother's house for this matter. .It’s just that after the father-in-law passed away, the Jia family doesn’t even have a single family member. However, the mother-in-law still blindly favors the youngest son, causing many disrespectful things.”

Lin Ruhai understood.Tomorrow, the second day of junior high school, he needs to accompany Jia Min back to her natal home.Lin Ning chose to tell him this at this time because he was afraid that something would happen to the Jia family and asked him to take care of Jia Min.

Lin Ruhai gradually laughed. In the past few months, because of the son's affairs, his mother and daughter-in-law looked calm on the surface, but they were really turbulent in the dark.He was watching, not in a hurry.In addition, his mother was seriously ill, and he became more and more anxious.

Now it's all right, my mother is healthy and her heart is relaxed.The relationship with Min'er is getting better and better.Also know to remind him on this kind of thing.Lin Ruhai felt relieved and anxious.

As for Lin Ning, after two months of observation, he also saw it.No matter how the Jia family is, Jia Min seems to be a good one.Probably Ye and Jia Min grew up beside Jia's mother, but most of the time they were taught by Jia Daishan himself.

Jia Daishan returned to Beijing from the border. The eldest son and the second son were already quite old.Temperament fixed.What he can teach and teach is limited, not to mention that the two sons are both mediocre.To say it was flat might be an understatement.

As a result, Jia Daishan could only take this daughter with him, and Liao used it as comfort.

The next day, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min went to Jia's house.It stands to reason that during such a New Year's Eve, one would usually have to have at least dinner before returning to her mother's house.But Lin Ruhai and Jia Minshen returned immediately.I heard that Jia Min's eyes were a little swollen.

Lin Ning nodded slightly, but said nothing.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, when the imperial court opened its office, news broke of severe snow disasters in many counties.Large areas of houses were crushed, and there were even mountain avalanches.Fortunately, there were preventive measures before, and the number of casualties is not large now.It is a blessing in misfortune.

Disaster relief is on the agenda.But this silver has become a big problem for the emperor.Du Ruo didn't make a sound, but waited for a few days.After the emperor reminded all dignitaries and loyal ministers and the four kings and eight princes to return the household bank, each family was crying poorer, and the emperor's face became darker day by day.

Only then did Du Ruo pass on the method of encouraging merchants from all over the world to contribute to me. Of course, he didn't take the credit for it alone, so he brought up Lin Ruhai.

The emperor's favorability for these two courtiers rose sharply in an instant.

Lin Ning felt that one must not underestimate the power of merchants.It took only ten days for the court to promulgate this measure, and it raised 600 million taels.

Among them, the Xue family donated 100 million taels.Xue Ling, the current head of the Xue family, was granted the title "Ziwei Sheren" by the emperor himself.Also inscribed "The House of Great Kindness".

When the news came, Lin Ning almost lost his grip on the chopsticks in his hand.She poked the chicken pieces in the bowl, feeling puzzled, and asked 007: Ziwei Sheren, isn't that Xue Baochai's father?Could it be that the Xue family has always had the name Ziwei Sheren?If this is the case, how would Xue Ling, Ziwei Sheren, come here without me?

007: Host, there are two words in this world, one is called plot emperor, and the other is called butterfly effect.

Lin Ning rolled her eyes, she understood.That is to say, without her, the plot emperor would naturally play a role in other things, and Xue Ling would still be Ziwei Sheren, but now because of her butterfly effect, the title of Xue Ling naturally appeared here.

After the fifteenth day, the emperor proposed to go to the disaster area to provide relief.All the officials dissuaded, but the emperor was determined.

Surprisingly, the emperor not only brought the main officials in charge of the disaster relief, but also authorized the four kings and eight princes to accompany him, and also brought Lin Ruhai with him.

Unfortunately, the emperor seemed destined to be disappointed.When I visited a disaster-stricken area, I saw that the people were poorly clothed and hungry.After the streets were full of hunger, houses collapsed and so on.

Those rich and well-to-do pampered four kings and eight princes have no other reaction except to complain that they have come here for nothing, that they have suffered such a crime, and when they see the corpse, they mutter bad luck.

After returning to Beijing, the emperor talked about the money owed again. They should cry poor, or they should cry poor.

Lin Ning looked at this cheap son who left for January. Although he was a cheap son, his feelings were always revealed.These days, she has really regarded Lin Ruhai as a relative.

"Thinner!"

Lin Ruhai's expression was heavy, and he shook his head again and again when he heard Lin Ning's words, "Mother, the child really understands what mother said that day after going out this time. What does it mean to establish a heart for the world and a life for the people?"

Lin Ning laughed. Although Lin Ruhai's father died young, he still grew up in a heap of gold and jade. He had never seen such a scene before.That's what's so shocking.But looking at his face, I am afraid that he has a lot of feelings and benefits a lot.

After the mother and son spoke a few words, Lin Ruhai sighed: "The emperor is probably planning to do something."

"How can the emperor not be chilled after experiencing such a thing? The merchants of the world know how to contribute to the country. These aristocratic families only think about themselves. There are no people in their eyes. I am afraid that the people in the world will die, and they will be indifferent. But those But they are all the emperor's subjects. Our emperor is a good emperor, so for these people, no matter how soft his heart is, he will harden after disappointment again and again."

Lin Ruhai was even more worried, and hesitated to speak.

Lin Ning's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the emperor intends to push Lin Ruhai out?The biggest problem with the Ministry of Accounts owes money is that there are no outstanding people, and what if someone has the head?

Some people will say, if he pays it back, why don't you pay it back?

"How does the emperor plan?"

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, then he knew that his mother had guessed it, so he didn't need to hide it anymore.

"The emperor told me in private that he intends to let me inherit the title of marquis from my ancestors. I will inherit it for three generations."

What a great reward.Being able to speak first in private means that the emperor still values ​​Lin Ruhai's knife.

"You refused?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "No! The emperor didn't wait for his son's attitude. He told him to go back and think about it. He will reply in three days."

This answer was not just about the marquis, but whether Lin Ruhai was willing to be the emperor's knife.

"Then what do you think?"

Once agreed, there must be many offending things in the process, and there will be many dangers.Lin Ruhai knew that although Lin Ning also hoped for him, he was even more unwilling to let him have an accident.

He knelt down and said: "My mother once told me that eating the emperor's salary and worrying about the emperor's worries. The child learns literary and martial arts is for the emperor's family. The one who is loyal is only the emperor, not four kings and eight princes. Now the emperor values ​​the child, and the child should repay the emperor's kindness."

Lin Ning looked at him for a few seconds, smiled and helped him up, "You are right. But since you want to be this knife, you must make a useful knife. And if it is irreplaceable by others, the master A knife that cannot be discarded!"

Lin Ruhai's body shook, and he came to his senses.

Lin Ning said again: "Don't they all cry about being poor? Let people remember what they said about being poor. What kind of family expenses are difficult? Everything is detailed. Everything they said is written down. Then let people check them out. The days of doing it. Who spent how much money to hire an actor outside, who kept the outer room, which family’s adults bought a pair of calligraphy and painting antiques for tens of thousands of taels, and which household’s wife bought a pair of heads and masks for more than a thousand taels.”

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, and instantly understood that Lin Ning was asking him to offer advice to the emperor.Now that you have decided to make a knife, you must play the role of a knife.Realize the rewards of eating the king and worrying about the king's worries, rather than talking about it casually.

It's just that this method is a bit...

"Crying poor is just to the emperor. The atmosphere in the capital loves to compare the most, and no one is willing to lag behind. You don't need to deliberately inquire about these things, just go to the crowds, what kind of teahouse and so on. You can definitely get it." There is a lot of such news. At that time, if they cry poorly again, they will be read directly to them in front of civil and military officials."

If you have money to support your concubine, hire an actor, buy antiques, buy a face, you say you don't have the money to pay back the debt owed by the account department?Do they still have the nerve to talk about it?

Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up, this move seemed a bit hurtful, but it was still a good move.It's just that, I'm afraid these people's face will be lost.But what does this have to do with him?
