Jia Min of the Red Chamber is very arrogant

How many local officials report their duties in the middle of the year, but all the channels are inquiring about news, and a lot of information can be revealed from the officials' dispatch of rewards and punishments.The news that Lin Ruhai was promoted to four levels in a row spread quickly.As soon as Lin Ruhai arrived at the Ministry of Officials and finished the handover with Zhen Yingjia, the news spread.

After the handover of the Ministry of Officials, Lin Ruhai was free to send the New Year's rituals prepared by Jia Min to various places. Anyway, Jia Min wrapped it with a sign, so it was very cheap.Some people, Lin Ruhai, did not go in person, and sent Qi Yun and Qi He to send them off separately, so that they could leave for the south earlier.

On the second day after the handover of the official department, Qi He came back from delivering a letter, so he hurriedly told Lin Ruhai that he had heard Lin Ruhai arrange to go out to give gifts today, and he didn't want to meet a horse dealer on the road who took a fancy to his horse and was willing to pay any price. , Only the guest officer let the horse out.

Qi He thought that person was reckless at first, but he stopped him again.It took a few more conversations to find out, because the clothes Qi He wore were not in Beijing, and the accent was not from a local, and the clothes of the servants of the Lin family were also practical and clean, not luxurious, so the horse dealer only regarded Qi He as an ordinary traveler.Because I saw Qi He's Ma Hao, I said that a master wanted to buy some BMWs, so I came to ask him.

Lin Ruhai also felt strange when he heard that, the wealthy families in Beijing all have stables and keep countless BMWs.If outsiders are eager to find a good horse, it is hard to find it, but the horse dealer said that the master who bought the horse was willing to pay any price, which is a strange thing.In the winter, rich and noble families all ride cars and sedan chairs. If they are in such a hurry to find a good horse, they are afraid that someone in a hurry will have to travel a long distance, so they buy a few high-quality horses to ride instead.

Because there were so many officials reporting on their duties recently, Lin Ruhai became cautious.This matter of kicking is unusual, so Qi Yun and Qi He were hurriedly sent out to inquire.It was a strange thing to say, and the two of them found out that the buyer wanted to buy a fast horse to go to Jinling, but the other horse dealers were unwilling to say more.

Qi He knew that some buyers had confessed, and the horse dealer would not say much if the transaction could not be made. Think about the lure of the mount: his mount can be sold, but he is afraid that the horse dealer will transfer the high price, so he proposes to see the buyer. The prices are all discussed in detail between the horse dealer and the buyer. Only after the deal is completed, you get [-]% and the horse dealer gets [-]%.

In order not to fall too far behind Yun Fan when going out, Qi Yun and Qi He's horses are all excellent. Although they are not as good as Yun Fan's rare BMW horses, they are still extraordinary.The horse dealer knew that the better the horse, the more expensive it was, and [-]% was a lot of money, so he agreed.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yun and Qi He followed the horse dealer to a place, and saw Zhen Yingjia's long entourage looking out from a distance.The two also inquired about the buyer, left the horse dealer behind, straddled the horse and came back, hurriedly came to tell Lin Ruhai what the hell Zhen Yingjia was going to do with buying so many horses.

It was also because the horse dealer was too greedy, and when he saw a good horse on the street, he would step up and ask him, otherwise, how could such a thing have happened?

Lin Ruhai thought about it for a while, and then he had some calculations in his mind: he guessed that Zhen Yingjia had just lost his position as inspector of salt and censor, and if he was so eager to return to the south, he might trip him up again.However, no matter how quick-witted and speculative Lin Ruhai is, he can't predict everyone's thoughts. Although he knows that Zhen Yingjiaxuan plans to plan, he really can't figure out the trick. Send two or three families every day, and set off to return to the south immediately after all the gifts are delivered.

First, he misses Jia Min and his sons very much, so he wants to return early; second, he has to go back to pack his luggage and utensils, and he will take up his post in Yangzhou after the next year.Even if there is no matter about Zhen Yingjia, he is still planning to return to the south as soon as possible.

Mother Jia was very happy to hear that Lin Ruhai was promoted, but besides being happy, she was also a little emotional.The promotion of Lin Ruhai coincided with the downfall of the Zhen family, but since it was all arranged by the sages, Mother Jia put this one aside.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were very happy to see Lin Ruhai. They are people who know the importance. Although Lin Ruhai's decency is only a second-rank title, he is decent in front of Emperor Jinghe and has real power in his hands. Those who can't keep up with the big officials, the real high position and weight, half of the national treasury's income is burdened, and the friendship with Lin Ruhai is indispensable for their own benefits.

Mrs. Wang had been at odds with Jia Min in the past, but this time she knew how powerful she was. On the one hand, she ordered Jia Zhu to ask her uncle for more homework while Lin Ruhai was in the capital, and on the other hand, she ordered Jia Zheng to hand it over to Lin Ruhai to take home with her. , this return gift is much more thoughtful than before.

There are not many people who want to have a good relationship with the Lin family. Lin Ruhai knows that some of these officials are sincerely friends with him, and some of them are smiling like eating honey, and they don't know how much they hate themselves.Now that the face is too decent, the capital has become a place of right and wrong. After leaving Jia's mansion, Lin Ruhai hurried back home, only ordered a few words to the housekeeper, and hurried back to the south the next day.

Lin Ruhai likes to ride horses. Now that Yunfan has moulted several times, his coat color has already returned to white and bright. It is not like he just came back from Jiangxi and does not like to go out, so Lin Ruhai brought Yunfan with him this time when he went north.At the end of the year, it was cold again when going south, so it was inconvenient to sail, so I hired a car to go south.Although it was a hired car, most of the time the car was loaded with some luggage. Lin Ruhai, Qi Yun, and Qi He rode horses most of the time, very briskly.

Only when the weather is really bad, you either find a place to rest, or just take a car for a while and hurry.

No matter how fast Lin Ruhai traveled, it couldn't be faster than the officials from the Ministry of Officials who delivered the residence newspaper. The news of Lin Ruhai's promotion, Lin Shuo picked up the residence newspaper at the Yamen, Jia Min also knew about it.

While Jia Min waited for the master to clean the house, he had already packed it up.Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai is also a doctor of Lantai Temple and a salt transport envoy of Lianghuai in this life, but it is two terms earlier than the previous life.

When Lin Ruhai arrived at the border of the south of the Yangtze River, Qi Yun quickly reported that the master was coming back.

Although Jia Min guessed that Lin Ruhai would come back years ago, he didn't expect it to be so soon. Surprised, he asked the master when he would arrive home, and sent someone out to pick him up. He also took his two children to wait at the gate of the inner courtyard. .

Lin Ruhai went all the way home, hurried to the room, entered the inner courtyard, and saw Jia Min standing at the door, with two children on one left and one on the right.Jia Min wore a red tapestry narrow jacket trimmed with white fox fur. He looked even more like a spring flower, as bright as a morning glow, dressed like Lin Shuo and Lin Ping, with snow-white skin and delicate eyebrows, like a pair of golden boys, looking at his wife and children , Lin Ruhai only felt infinite joy.

Jia Min and a pair of children also came up to meet him. Jia Min pulled Lin Ruhai's hand, because Lin Ruhai held the rein with both hands for a long time, and it was a little cold. Put on a cloak, in the winter, you must be riding back again. Your hands are frozen, what should you do if you catch the wind and cold?"

Lin Ruhai also felt a little cold, and was afraid that his hand would be cold to Jia Min, so he quickly let go of Jia Min's hand and said, "Where is it that weak and windy?" While still smiling, he took the hand stove Jia Min handed over to warm it up a little. warm.Jia Min took the best ointment she used and daubed it lightly on Lin Ruhai's hands: "Master has a pair of gentle hands holding a pen, don't let the cold wind blow it apart."

Although Lin Ruhai didn't think this was the case, he didn't stop him and let Jia Min apply the flower-scented cream on his hands.

Brother Lin Shuo saluted Lin Ruhai in a proper manner, and then came up and hugged Lin Ruhai's arms from left to right.Lin Ruhai smiled and hugged one, then the other. Jia Min stopped the two sons and asked the father to change his clothes first.

The master's promotion was naturally rewarded by the whole family. The next day when Lin Ruhai came to the Yamen, Yin Tongpan also came to congratulate him.Since Lin Ruhai became the magistrate and solved the flood problem, Yin Tong admired him very much.

Yin Tongpan is conscientious, but he has never been good at drilling. Although he has no major mistakes or omissions, and has no outstanding achievements, he has been in the position of Tongju for many years and has not been promoted.In Yingtian Mansion, he was actually the magistrate of Liushui, who passed the judgment with iron iron.However, Yin Tongpan has assisted many magistrates successively, and Lin Ruhai is the only one he admires the most.

The following year, when the Ministry of Officials appointed him, it was unexpected that Yin Tongpan was finally promoted to serve as the prefect of Yingtianfu.Yin Tong's sentence was nearly fifty years old, and he was at the age of being fond of his grandchildren. He didn't expect to be so respectable.

Lin Ruhai was promoted, and the people of Jinling couldn't bear to live a good life, but they didn't dare to disobey the sacred order. On the day the Lin family set off, the people who saw him off on the long street lined up from the government office to outside the city gate.The people in Yangzhou also knew Lin Qingtian's name, and unlike the people in Jinling, the people in Yangzhou were very happy, and the welcome team also lined up from outside the city gate to the Yanzheng Yamen.

When Lin Ruhai set off, not only the people of Jinling were reluctant, but also other people were very concerned.It's just that this person only pays attention, it's not that he doesn't want to give up, but he just wants to show Lin Ruhai a good look.This person is Zhen Yingjia, the former inspector of Yanyan.

Going to Beijing to report on work this year is the most aggrieved year for Zhen Yingjia.The Xunyan censor is appointed once a year, and he has been in office for four years alone, how decent it is.Who would have thought that this year, Lin Ruhai was allowed to go, and the handover was still in the middle of the capital, making it known to all courts.How many people thought Zhen Yingjia was frustrated?

Therefore, Zhen Yingjia has never been on such a journey in her life. She bought more than a dozen good horses and took only two long-term companions on the road. She rushed day and night and went straight to Yangzhou. Not bad.The other servants went back to Jinling on their own, and when Mrs. Zhen asked about it, she only said that she didn't know how busy the master was.

Zhen Yingjia hurried on the road in such a hurry to go to the Yanzheng Yamen to handle business before the officials sent to Yangzhou by the Ministry of Officials.Zhen Yingjia is very familiar with salt merchants big and small in Yangzhou. In the past, the salt censor was changed every year, and Mr. Zhen was re-elected for four years. Which salt merchant would dare not flatter him?In Zhen Yingjia's words, the salt merchants wished they could act as an imperial decree.

Sure enough, when Zhen Yingjia arrived in Yangzhou, he first called a meeting of big and small salt merchants, and all the salt merchants responded and came in a hurry.It turned out that Zhen Yingjia said that although Hai Yan and He Qing are in the hinterland of the Central Plains today, there are still thieves and bandits on the frontier. In order to share the worries of the saint, he came here in a hurry to collect the salt tax for the first half of next year in advance. If all the salt merchants cooperate, it will be faster If the payment is made, if the Ministry of Households rushes to send it to the treasury, I'm afraid it can be sent to the frontier before the first day.

Calculated according to the formal procedures, even if the ministries and institutes hurry up, the money will not be sent to the frontier until the spring of next year at the earliest.It's just that all the salt merchants thought that next year's salt inspector would still be Zhen Yingjia, and secondly, the salt merchants were very rich, and no one cared about paying the salt tax half a year earlier.If what Zhen Yingjia said is true, there must be a list of those who paid the salt tax in advance. Who would not want to show this face in front of a saint?Secondly, even if what Zhen Yingjia said was exaggerated, it was just to please Mr. Yan Ke, and it had its own advantages.

Within two days, Zhen Yingjia collected [-]% of the salt tax for the first half of next year, and also issued a receipt with the official seal of the salt government office. Who would doubt it?The flattering official presented the bank note with a smile on his face, and exchanged the receipt, feeling happy in his heart.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, a report came from the official department in the capital that Lin Qingtian and Lin Ruhai were the newly-appointed envoys for transporting salt from the Huaihe River to the Huaihe River. Seventy percent of the salt merchants who had paid the salt tax in advance were all dumbfounded.They wanted to curry favor with the master of the salt class, but who knew that the new salt envoy had not taken office yet, and they had already offended him by flattering others.

Why didn't you pay the other [-]%?The other [-]% is the business of a salt merchant surnamed Wu.This salt merchant surnamed Wu is very mysterious, he never flatters anyone, and he never pays a cent or two of the salt tax.

The legend about this Wu salt merchant is very strange. It is said that there were old salt masters who made things difficult for him in the past, but every time whoever made things difficult for him, his house would be haunted.As long as Wu Yanshang is no longer embarrassing, the haunting will gradually stop.Over time, the successive salt officials let Wu Yan merchants go their own way.

Fortunately, as long as he doesn't embarrass Wu Yanshang, he also abides by the law and doesn't cause trouble.Although he is too maverick, no one can do anything to him.Legend has it that there was a golden order from Emperor Tai/Zu that [-]% of the salt business in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River would be hereditary to Wu salt merchants, and no one should violate it.Only people can guess that the Shang ancestor Wu Yan made great efforts when Emperor Tai/Zu conquered the world.But the other four kings and eight princes who have made great efforts and other heroes, everyone has been crowned king, noble and marquis, except for Wu's family, which does not even have the title of imperial merchant, except for the two Huai and [-]% salt sales businesses, which is not like it.

As for the tax payment in advance this time, firstly, Wu salt merchants did not flatter Zhen Yingjia, and secondly, Wu salt merchants also went out to play, so Zhen Yingjia collected salt tax in advance, and only collected [-]% of it.Who doesn't envy Wu salt merchants when they know the truth? Fortunately, he has a receipt from the salt government office. Since Lin Qingtian is stern and selfless, naturally he won't collect salt tax twice.

If you want to say how Zhen Yingjia dared to act so boldly, it is because although he did something unexpected, it was not illegal.The sage said that he and Lin Ruhai's filing in the Ministry of Officials was to hand over the official status of the registered officials.As for the handover of official duties, Jing Hedi said that they will be handed over on arrival.Since Lin Ruhai hadn't come to Yangzhou to take up his post and hand over to him, then the inspector of the salt censor was still himself, and no one could say anything about the state treasury that he collected the salt tax in advance.

On this day when Lin Ruhai entered Yangzhou City, the common people beat gongs and drums to welcome them into the Yanzheng Yamen. The family still lived in the mansion behind the Yanzheng Yamen.Jia Min was busy cleaning the house and installing appliances, Lin Ruhai also looked at the backlog of official documents and books before making a decision.

He saw that the accounts of the Salt Administration were fairly clear.However, the rich salt merchants want to bribe, and they also send silver and jewelry to officials. Therefore, patrolling the salt censor is a big job, but there is no need for corruption.Because salt is no different from others, there is a ration of how much you need to use every year, and the fluctuation is not too big. Naturally, there is a roughly the same total amount of salt tax. Unless the price of salt is raised, corruption is really a bad strategy and it is easy to be discovered. .

Lin Ruhai continued to look through the accounts until the last one, only to learn that [-]% of the salt tax in the first half of next year had already been collected and put into the treasury, which made him dumbfounded.

After thinking for a while, Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing.At this moment, he understood that Zhen Yingjia's urgent return to the south was not to return to Jinling, but to Yangzhou.He didn't expect it at the time, but now he understands that Zhen Yingjia must have rushed back to the south in such a hurry, before the officials of the official department.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, Lin Ruhai did not suffer any loss from what Zhen Yingjia did. It's not a big deal either.

Lin Ruhai went to work smoothly, and Fang sent someone to notify Mr. Zhen to come and take over.Lin Ruhai has the false title of the second rank, and Zhen Yingjia is a lower-level official, so he should have rushed here in a hurry.Unexpectedly, when the yamen servant who reported the letter came back, he said with a distressed face, Mr. Zhen was too sick to get out of bed for some reason.If you really want him to come, you can only carry it.

The yamen servant is also a safe person. The new Salt Transporter sent him to do things for the first time, but he couldn't do it well, so he didn't agree.The steward of Zhen's family was just saying politely that if you don't believe the official, you can go to the inner hall to see Mr. Zhen in person.What kind of person is Zhen Yingjia? How can a little yamen servant just see him when he sees him?The steward of Zhen's family just said something, but who knew that the yamen servant didn't refuse, and just walked away.

The inner hall saw Zhen Yingjia lying on the bed, with sunken cheeks and sallow complexion, she couldn't fake it, so the yamen servant had to come back and report to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai chuckled, and didn't blame the yamen servant, but said: "In that case, let's invite Lord Zhen again in the spring of the next year."

It turned out that Zhen Yingjia was pampered and pampered. He had never been so tired, and the cold wind was exposed to the cold wind when he was driving in winter. At first, he wanted to add trouble to Lin Ruhai, so he went to Yangzhou to do many things in one go, but he didn't find out what happened.When I got home, the cold air accumulated in my body burst out, and I had a serious illness. Sure enough, the next year when the weather got warmer, I gradually got better.

Lin Ruhai still hadn't relieved his duty of guarding the road in the south of the Yangtze River, settled his family in Yangzhou, and then went out to inspect the river defense.He went north after the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and did not personally supervise the work, but both the people and the local parents and officials had the benefit of strengthening the river defense during the dry season, and everything was done.Going home after half a month of patrolling, the family is going to spend their first New Year's Day in Yangzhou without mentioning it.
