False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

"This is about the salt business. I think all of His Majesty's cases are memorials to impeach a certain family.

Lin Ruhai spoke in an extremely calm tone, with a touch of sarcasm between his eyebrows.

How could these salt merchants be able to become big without the interests of the DPRK and China behind them?

It was nothing more than Lin Ruhai's trick of killing first and telling the story later, causing the salt merchant's backers to suffer a hidden loss.

After all, the evidence of poisoning imperial officials or colluding with private salt dealers found from salt merchants made Lin Ruhai's actions reasonable and reasonable, and no one could find fault with them.

"Maybe not." Lin Chen had a different opinion.

The property of these inspected salt merchants entered Li Zhao's inner treasury.

His Majesty, the emperor who is short of money and jealous, will definitely protect Lin Ruhai and even let him go further.

Based on Lin Chen's understanding of Li Zhao, he might even reuse Lin Ruhai.

Just looking at Lin Ruhai's appearance, he already had the intention of resigning and living in seclusion.

As the saying goes, there is great terror between life and death, and it can also make people see clearly the various situations in the world.

Fame, wealth and wealth are all in the past.

It's just... Lin Daiyu is still young, or Lin Ruhai won't close her eyes even if she doesn't see her daughter find a good home.

Suddenly.

Lin Ruhai asked Lin Chen, "I heard from Yu'er that General Lin has a good relationship with the Jia family?"

Jia Mansion?

Lin Chen was startled when he heard this, but he nodded.

As expected by Lin Chen, the next question Lin Ruhai asked him was about Jia Baoyu.

After all, before he was gone, Lin Ruhai planned to entrust Lin Daiyu to Jia Mu and deliberately arranged this marriage.

Now.

From Lin Ruhai's point of view, the young man from this family in front of him is truly extraordinary!

If Yu'er is entrusted to him...

"It's the fate of a wealthy and idle man."

Lin Chen thought of Jia Baoyu's character in the original book and spoke in an inexplicable tone.

"A rich and idle man?"

Lin Ruhai frowned slightly when he heard what Lin Chen said.

He had also heard rumors in Yangzhou that Jia Baoyu was born with jade in his mouth and was talented and intelligent.

When asked again, Lin Chen smiled and said nothing.

It would be better to wait until Lin Ruhai returns to the capital and meets Jia Baoyu in person.

"That's fine."

Lin Ruhai sighed and was about to continue saying something, but he coughed a few times and his face turned pale.

"Yu Shi Lin, even though the poison has been removed from your body, you still need to pay attention to your cultivation."

Lin Ruhai was silent when he heard the words. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and whispered: "This time General Lin led his army to the south of the Yangtze River, is it really about the Japanese rebellion?"

Yes.

Lin Chen led nearly 20,000 Lin Guards southward to the south of the Yangtze River, claiming to be on guard against Japanese aggression along the coast.

It's just that Lin Ruhai is also a smart person who has been in officialdom for more than ten years, and he can tell something strange at a glance.

To prepare for Japanese rebellion, does it mean moving troops from the capital to the south?

"Can't say."

Lin Chen's answer was even more straightforward.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai stopped asking questions and already had the answer in his heart.

The two people's answers did not fall into the ears of the third person.

Originally, Lin Ruhai was still thinking of choosing a word for Lin Chen.

But he was declined by Lin Chen.

Quite true.

Before leaving, Lin Ruhai looked at him like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, which made him quite uncomfortable.

"Look, everyone is gone."

Lin Daiyu looked at the fleet that had disappeared, but when she heard the joke coming from her father, her earlobes couldn't help but turn red.

"Father~"

This is more of a coquettish meaning of being exposed.

Lin Ruhai laughed when he saw this, shook his head and said: "There will be a chance to see you again in the capital in the future."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look in the direction of the capital.

Lin Ruhai's guess was correct.

The incident in Yangzhou caused an uproar throughout Jiangnan and the capital.

As a lonely minister during the late emperor's time, Lin Ruhai had not cultivated any disciples or officials over the years.

If it hadn't been for this, neither the court nor the central government would have remembered that this person existed.

This time, four salt merchants were raided, which immediately led to countless censors impeaching them for their cruel methods.

Li Zhao originally planned to retain Lin Ruhai and let him continue to serve as the salt patrol censor to keep the money bag.

But when the salt merchant's tens of millions of assets were put into the treasury, Li Zhao became jealous.

This is a capable minister!

Choose a day.

Then an angel left Beijing and came to Yangzhou to announce Lin Ruhai's promotion decree.

The purpose is probably to say that Lin Ruhai has made great achievements through hard work in Yangzhou these years.

Nowadays, major smuggling cases such as salt merchants have been discovered, which has made great contributions to the court.

He was promoted from the fifth-rank salt inspector to the third-rank official of Guanwen Palace and concurrently as a bachelor of Longtuge.

The subsequent appointment will be discussed again after returning to Beijing.

Such an honor directly made Lin Ruhai a popular civil servant.

When the news spread in Yangzhou, countless salt merchants breathed a sigh of relief.

This killer star is finally leaving.

Only Jia Lian, who had been living happily for several days, was stunned.

Didn't it mean that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill and was about to die?

Why did you get promoted?

At the same time, the Jia Mansion was also a festive scene today.

Not only were they celebrating Lin Ruhai’s promotion from the Holy Family, but also Yuan Chun, the eldest daughter of the Jia family, took up the position of female historian in the Queen’s Palace!

As early as before the decline of the Jia family was revealed, Jia She's eldest daughter, Yuan Chun, was sent to the palace, hoping to be favored by the emperor and become a concubine.

In this way, the wealth of the Jia family can be preserved for the next two generations.

However, once you enter the deep palace, it is as deep as the sea.

Even a woman like Jia Yuanchun can only endure hardship.

The difficulties are not obvious to outsiders.

Good thing.

Jia Yuanchun is coming through.

Being able to hold the position of Queen's female history shows that Jia Yuanchun is favored by the Queen.

By then, the probability of being favored by the emperor himself will be much greater.

However.

How could the Jia Mansion’s bunch of bugs know Li Zhao’s considerations?

When Zhao Kuangyin was the commander-in-chief of the Jin army after the conquest, Wang Ziteng served as the governor of the Beijing camp.

Therefore, I just mentioned the status of the Jia family's daughter who is related to the Wang family in the palace.

"How could these merchants be so rich?!"

Li Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath as they counted the property that Lin Ruhai had escorted to Beijing for inspection.

Shangguan Wan'er remembered the rules of dynasty cycles that the other party inadvertently mentioned while chatting with Lin Chen.

"Your Majesty, Li Tang is rich, but he belongs to a wealthy family, a country squire and a landlord."

"This is extremely true!"

Li Zhao's eyes brightened when he heard this.

If a few more unscrupulous merchants are investigated, the problem of empty treasury will be easily solved.

As a person close to Li Zhao, Shangguan Wan'er knew Li Zhao very well.

Just by looking at his face, you can tell what he is thinking.

but.

Shangguan Wan'er remembered something Lin Chen told her.

"Your Majesty, Lin Chen said before leaving Beijing that merchants from Shanxi and Shanxi were secretly smuggling salt and iron weapons to the Liaodong Jurchens."

Randomly checking merchants will definitely put everyone in the court in danger, and Li Zhao's reputation will be ruined.

But if there is a legitimate name, it is hard for the minister to accuse him.

"Is this happening?!"

When Li Zhao heard what Shangguan Wan'er said, his expression turned cold.

"Immediately arrange internal security to go to Shanxi to investigate. If the matter is true..."

…
