Yanyuan Yamen, Zhonglin Hall.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and smiled helplessly: "You, why bother arguing with the mid-mountain prince again?" ”

When Jia Qiang said goodbye to Han Bin before, Han Bin taught him a few words before boarding the boat, and was pushed back by Jia Qiang......

Jia Qiang was even more helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Granduncle, where is I going to quarrel with him, it is the mid-mountain prince who regards Shangjia as a treacherous and evil in his bones, and he wants to persuade me to 'change his evil and return to the right' and help him sweep away the salt merchants." How can it be? ”

Lin Ruhai was curious: "How is it impossible?" You should know that none of the eight major salt merchant clans did not drink salt blood. Salt merchants fight with each other, which one does not have a hundred and ten lives in their hands? The old fox of the Qi family, who was originally just a salt boiler, has been rich and noble for more than 60 years, do you know how many people he has killed? Which of these people should not die? ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Maybe so, but I think existence is reasonable." Even if the old fox of the Qi family has killed people, he must have killed his peers, and it was the salt merchants who also had blood-stained hands that killed them, not the people. In addition, it was the salt administration of the imperial court and imperfect supervision that caused all this. Of course, the imperial court wants to settle accounts with the queen and bring them to justice after clarifying the evidence of the crime, and I raise my hands in favor. But if you want to use me as a knife, you really can't do it, and you can't do it. ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and smiled faintly: "Do you think I don't want to be with Banshan Gong?" It's just that...... Not to mention, only the old fox of the Qi family spent at least twenty years to melt away the evidence of his crimes for more than 60 years, and now, he can't even find a bitter master, let alone the evidence of the crime. The others, although not as clean as the Qi family, have spent a lot of money following the example of the Qi family, and now even if they can leave some evidence of their crimes, they are mostly just some minor problems that do not matter. How can the court bring them to justice? The old fox of the Qi family is really a headache. ”

Jia Qiang smiled: "Even so, the prince of Banshan shouldn't let me touch porcelain, right?" I'm just a grass farmer who doesn't even have a reputation, and the weight of the country and the society is too far away for me to mix. It is true that the rise and fall of the world is responsible, but now it is still far away from the rise and fall of the world, for the ambition of the prince of Banshan, I want to touch the porcelain, even if I can shake the majesty for a while, how difficult it should be for me to act later. Ten or twenty years later, when the reckoning is settled, today's events will be my sowing of misfortune. ”

Lin Ruhai listened indifferently in front of him, but when he heard the last sentence, he finally changed his complexion, and said in a deep voice: "When the liquidation is carried out in ten or twenty years?" Brother Qiang, what do you mean by that? ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Grandmaster, I am shallow, but I also know that throughout the ages, how many virtuous ministers and famous ministers have reformed major policies, in order to sweep away Shen Ke and prosper in the prosperous world, Banshan Gong is not the first, and will not be the last." Some of them succeeded, some failed. But even if it can be done, how long can this prosperous era last?

It's not more than a few decades, it's a few months!

With the change of kings, the new policy was abandoned. Even after the change of kings, in order to quell the counterattack of the masses who have lost their interests, they began to liquidate the innovators in order to consolidate the imperial power.

How can you never see these things?

Mid-levels regards businessmen as enemies, and is bound to offend a large number of powerful people, and the more ruthless their methods are, the more tragic the counterattack will be in the future.

Of course, I'm not just afraid of a bad end, but I think that simply trying to help the poor by killing the rich can only lead to a dead end! ”

In Jia Qiang's opinion, Han Bin is likely to have tasted the sweetness of raiding the house.

With only one Feng family and one Mei family, more than 500,000 taels of cash can be copied in cash, and the financial resources of these two families cannot be compared with the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou.

If these eight families are slaughtered and eaten for meat, the court is afraid that it will be able to have a big fat year, and the Son of Heaven can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Moreover, which of these eight families has no crime, and it is not unjust to kill them, so why not do it?

But in Jia Qiang's view, this kind of behavior may not necessarily outweigh the disadvantages for Dayan.

It's okay to beat, pay a huge fine, or even kill a group of people with criminal evidence.

However, without a definite crime, such a horrific punishment will inevitably make people panic and destroy Dayan's social stability and already weak business ecology.

There is a suspicion of killing chickens and taking eggs, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Kill the rich and help the poor?"

Lin Ruhai frowned, looked at Jia Qiang and reminded: "Brother Qiang, although I can't find any strong evidence at the moment, I can tell you clearly, according to the laws of the country, none of these eight families can be considered wronged. Even if it is to kill the rich and help the poor, what is the fault? To really do big things, don't be too pedantic. For the imperial court, killing his eight families can make up for the fortunes of the country, what crime cannot be criminalized? ”

Jia Qiang was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "Maybe, but in this matter, my uncle, it is difficult for me to help." I am self-aware, and in the eyes of the mid-levels, I am certainly nothing. But because the Emperor praised me three times and gave me good words, it became a usable knife in the eyes of the Duke of Banshan. The good minister of the emperor of the ether went to kill the old man of Jingchu. As for what kind of backlash this knife will encounter in the future, I don't think the mid-mountain prince will care too much. For the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, he can even give up his own life and the lives of his blood grandchildren, let alone mine?

However, I am just a selfish little person, I don't want to be known to the princes, I just want to live freely with my family.

After being able to do it alone, if you have spare energy, do your best to do what you can to help others. Therefore, I respect the mid-levels public, but I am not a person all the way after all. ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, his gloomy face became a little complicated, and he looked at Jia Qiang and said, "You can always give me some surprises, I don't think of you as an ordinary teenager anymore, but your words surprised me again." It's not easy for you to have this insight...... However, it is not always perfect. For example, you want to miss someone. ”

Jia Qiang looked at Lin Ruhai and said softly: "What my uncle said, is it ...... When today's sub? ”

Lin Ruhai's eyes opened, his eyes bloomed with brilliance, and he didn't hide his admiration at all, and said, "You even thought of this?" Since you can think of today, you should understand how holy the Son of Heaven is, and how diligent and loving the people are! With such a king in the court, shouldn't we sacrifice our lives to serve and show what we have learned in our chests to fulfill our life's aspirations? ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, her face was faintly complicated and said, "Grandpai, what you said makes sense. I don't know much about the Son of Heaven, but I only know that for the sake of the people of Shanxi, he took down more than 100 officials, large and small, from the governor of Shanxi Province, and this is the first time since the establishment of the national dynasty. The Son of Heaven is not like the Emperor Taishang, he likes to be luxurious, since he ascended the throne, he has not said that he has built a lot of buildings, and he is reluctant to spend money on repairing the palace. These are all in line with the standards of the ancient Mingjun. But ......"

"But what?"

Lin Ruhai frowned and asked, he didn't really want to ask a teenager, even if this teenager was so amazing.

The affairs of officialdom and government affairs are not decided by amazing talents.

But this novel idea can still bring him a lot of inspiration and help him, as an authority, to see the current situation clearly.

Even Lin Ruhai and Jia Qiang could think that his situation was not good after returning to Beijing and entering the court, could he not have thought of it?

I heard Jia Qiang say: "However, the Son of Heaven has endured it for so many years, and if he really reforms the big policy, he is bound to be resolute." Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, once it is used urgently, good things are easy to turn into bad things, and the backlash must be fierce! Sir, do students think that businessmen should be suppressed? It's time to suppress. But the means of suppression must not be so domineering and unreasonable! ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then slowly exhaled: "Actually, you are too worried, the people who are mainly targeted by the Mid-Levels Duke are not businessmen. A few salt merchants, what kind of enemy are they? It's just that the mid-mountain prince entered the south of the Yangtze River alone, and if he didn't burn three fires, it would be difficult to open up the situation as soon as possible. I was forced to borrow your knife and start killing. Brother Qiang, I understand your thoughts, you now have some success in your heart, join forces with the Qi family, the Xu family, and maybe join forces with several other families to take advantage of their Yangzhou landlords. It's not a bad thing, I can understand it, and I'll support you.

But what do you think you can think of, Mid-Levels Gong can't imagine? The books you read are not as many as those read by the Mid-Levels Public. But even if he knew what the consequences would be, so what? The direction of the road, although tens of millions of people go to me!

The mid-levels prince is really not for his own interests, but I hope that the common people can be peaceful.

So, I still hope that you can do it. Moreover, he opened up the situation in Jiangnan, and when I return to Beijing in the next year, the pressure will be reduced a lot. ”

Jia Qiang was stunned when she heard this, and said with a wry smile: "I respect his way, but I have no intention of his way. But...... If my uncle wants me to do something, I won't say a word. I think that the prince of Banshan also thought of this, so he asked your uncle to say this to me. However, Qi, Li, Chen, and Peng, I will not move. These four are the people he thinks can be used.

Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard this, and said: "That's right, you yourself know that sooner or later, the Duke of Banshan will have to return to the center as a minister, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, you can do something good at this moment, and he will pay you back sooner or later." Besides, if this matter is really harmful to you, can I still encourage you to go? You, don't think too simple about the Qi family and the Xu family. Just with your prescription, with your words in the Pearl Pavilion, and with the Jia family in the capital, do you think they will really take you seriously? After all, in the end, you still have to stand up, and use the head of the salt merchant to stand up!! Grace and power are kings. Otherwise, you will be swallowed by them sooner or later, and there will be no bones left, especially when we return to Beijing in the future. ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, her face was solemn, and after thinking about it carefully, she nodded slowly and said, "What my uncle said is very true, I want to be simple." With such a big benefit, if you don't knock on the mountain and shake the tiger first, I am afraid that it will soon be counterattacked. ”

"Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger?"

Lin Ruhai smiled, his eyes flashed with a cold and cold gaze, and said, "They are also worthy?" At most, it's just to make an example of chickens and monkeys! ”

……

Front yard room.

After coming out of Lin Ruhai's place, Jia Qiang was full of worries and went to the guest room to visit Xue Pan.

Before entering the door, I heard Xue Pan in the house arguing with Zhang Dehui, the general account of the Xue family.

That Zhang Dehui was repeatedly instructed by Aunt Xue to take care of the young Xue Pan, eight hundred taels of silver, for Xue Pan's practice to make a living.

Although Aunt Xue said that even if she lost all of it, it would not be a good thing, but it was an improper thing to do business, not to take it to prostitution.

If Aunt Xue knew about last night, then his old face would be lost.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said two words to Xue Pan, Xue Pan shouted impatiently.

Xue Pan had just come down from the boat for twenty days, but he didn't expect that the Oiran didn't sleep, but was opened, and now he has to rest on the bed for more than ten days.

Come and go, it's fucking New Year's Day!

was already upset, but this old man was crooked and crooked, how could he not be annoyed?

Listening to the more noisy it became, Xue Pan was just messing around, and Jia Qiang had no choice but to push the door in to resolve this public case......
