"Second Master Qiang, you have been coming to our Yangzhou Mansion from the capital for so many days, and I knew that the second master was going to serve in the Yamen of the Yanyuan, so I didn't dare to bother. Now that Lord Yanyuan has recovered, it will be really not interesting for me to exhaust the friendship of the landlord. In the future, when it was transmitted back to the capital, the capital only said that our young people in Yangzhou did not know how to be hospitable at all. But I don't know when the second master of Qiang will have to enjoy his face, let's eat a few rice wines on the thin West Lake, and appreciate the flowers of Yangzhou? ”

Just as Jia Qiang was about to leave, Xu Zhen, who had helped him speak in the side hall, suddenly laughed out loud and asked.

It's just this occasion......

The atmosphere is ......

At least they almost didn't make the Mei family and the Feng family angry to death!

However, in the eyes of the other family heads, they all showed brilliance, looked at Xu Zhen with admiration, and gave their nephews and nephews a look.

They are all from human spirits, how can the sons and nephews of each family not understand how to stand in line at this moment?

Therefore, they all echoed Xu Zhenlai, including Bai Ziqing of the Bai family before, and the four young people who did not have elders among the eight major salt merchants.

"That's why, although our Yangzhou Mansion can't be compared with Duzhong Shenjing, it's also a little interesting."

"Yes, if a splendid figure like Second Master Qiang comes to Yangzhou, we won't entertain him, how can we have the face to meet my peers in the capital?"

"A must-have, a must-have, arrangement!"

However, he didn't want to, Xu Zhen, who started first, said lazily: "Eh, there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence." It's your business if you want to invite, I, Ziming, Zixun and Yuan Cheng are the most unsuccessful in the clan, so we can talk together. Second Master Qiang, if you don't dislike it, how about our brothers pick up the wind and wash the dust for you on the Slender West Lake painting boat tonight? ”

When Bai Ziqing and other young people heard this, their faces sank.

The other heads of the family also changed their faces, and none of the people named by Xu Zhen were their sons and nephews.

They are all the four salt merchants who didn't come, and the stubborn children who were sent from their families who were not respected, and most of them were well-known swingers in Yangzhou Mansion, and Xu Zhen had a virtue.

No, Jia Qiang actually smiled and said, "I can't do it tonight, there is something else to do that the elders order...... Tomorrow. ”

Xu Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed: "Okay! Then let's say okay, tomorrow night, we will be on the painting boat of Slender West Lake, see you or leave! That's right, Second Master Qiang, in Xia Xu Zhen! ”

After that, he rushed to ask Xu Minghe, the head of the Xu family, and stretched out his hand and said, "Old man, do you want to give the silver?" If I don't give it, I can only rely on the second master to host. When the Xu family's ugly reputation spreads to the capital, I don't care, but if the eldest brother goes to catch the exam......"

For the first time, Xu Minghe thought, how could this evil son be so cute?

Therefore, he laughed and scolded: "Give and give, good entertainment!" If there is a mistake, watch your skin! ”

After Bai Ziqing got his Laozi Bai Yuan's crazy hint like corns, he also forced the humiliation in his heart, and said with a smile: "Such a good thing, I can't let Zhong Luan take it all, I ......"

However, he looked at Jia Qiang enthusiastically, but Jia Qiang glanced at him with even a stingy look, and then strode away.

Bai Ziqing's face suddenly turned red, then turned purple, and finally turned black......

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Xu Zhen tilted his head and stood aside looking at his face, and laughed out loud.

Looking in the direction of the foyer, Yanding came with a flail......

……

Yamen of the Salt Courtyard.

When Jia Qiang saw Aunt Mei, whose eyes were a little red and swollen, enter the back house, Fang took a deep breath and rushed to Zhonglin Hall with some apprehension.

I don't know how Xu Zhen's group would react if they knew that he had a holiday with the Governor of Liangjiang......

This group of people is really a goblin.

In Zhonglin Hall, watching Jia Qiang enter step by step, Han Bin looked at an old farmer's face, but he looked at it without smiling.

However, under such scrutiny, Jia Qiang's mood calmed down, looked at the old man levelly, and after entering the middle hall, he bowed.

Obviously, Lin Ruhai and Han Bin both knew what happened in the side hall of Meiyuan, and Lin Ruhai's face was not very good.

However, before Lin Ruhai could speak, Han Bin took the lead in asking: "Seeing the faces of the merchants today, do you still think that it is a good thing for the Emperor Taishang to prosper in business?" You are a descendant of Ning Guogong, what are you in their eyes? Your teacher is like Haijian in the heart of the emperor, dignified to explore the flowers, and the three products to patrol the salt imperial history, just because of the 'loss of power', you were so despised. Since ancient times, businessmen have not been involved in production, buying cheaply and selling expensively, valuing profit over righteousness, if they do not strictly enforce the law, there will be disasters! Over the years, Lile has collapsed to the point of collapse, you yellow-mouthed son, have you seen the real chapter today? ”

After Jia Qiang glanced at Lin Ruhai, she slowly bowed her head, shook her head again, and said: "Banshan Gong said this, the kid can only agree with half of it." ”

When Han Bin heard this, his face sank, and he sneered: "But I don't know what else I don't understand?" ”

Jia Qiang felt helpless about this old man's domineering and narcissism, which was actually normal.

In his previous life, at least half of the top leaders of some units he saw were like this......

If you want to sit on the top of the hand, or if you want to sit for a long time, if you don't control it with force, it is indeed not good.

Jia Qiang paused and said: "My lord, the kid dares to ask the adult, in the thirty years of the adult's eunuchs, have you seen more despicable businessmen, or have you seen more brazen officials?" In terms of groveling and unscrupulousness, is it the businessmen who are more likely to be in trouble, or the officials who are more in trouble? Judging from the boy's shallow knowledge, whether it is an official or a businessman, there are both good people and bad people. As long as there are national laws and regulations that are always restrained, not relaxed, and strictly investigated at all times, how can they be allowed to be arbitrarily presumptuous? Of course, my knowledge is shallow, and I have seen very little, so I can only see this step, and it is inevitable to take it for granted. But when adults ask me this, I can only answer like this. ”

When Han Bin heard this, his dark and rough face twitched, and after looking at Jia Qiang for a while, he said to Lin Ruhai: "Brother Ruhai, have you seen it?" This is a slippery donkey dung ball! There was such a big turmoil in Beijing, he patted his ass and ran to Yangzhou Mansion. When I arrived in Yangzhou Mansion, I was also restless, and I played tricks in front of the old man. He keeps saying that he is shallow, according to his meaning, if the old man cares about him, isn't he as shallow as he is? ”

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "If it weren't for Brother Qiang's ambition not to be in the official career, his calm mind would really be the seed of a famous minister." ”

Hearing this, Han Bin stared at Jia Qiang and said, "Are you not in the career?" Could it be that you are afraid that the old man will find you to settle accounts? ”

At the beginning, Han Bin warned Jia Qiang that if he was found to be deliberately tricking ghosts, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the court.

However, after the incident, Han Bin sent people to investigate several times, and found that Jia Qiang could not know in advance about the Emperor Taishang's Holy Driving Imperial Drunken Immortal Tower.

With his bearing and open-mindedness, it is naturally impossible to deal with a child who has the loyalty of his father.

Now that Jia Qiang saved Lin Ruhai, it is equivalent to saving a new deal general for him, so that the previous mustard can be evened.

At this time, I heard that he was not doing his job, so I naturally didn't like it.

Jia Qiang shook her head when she heard this, and said: "The prince of Banshan has the hope of the world, and his virtue and reputation are known all over the world, but I have always acted with a clear conscience, how can I be afraid of adults?" It's just not here......"

"So where do you aspire? At a young age, it is not good for students to go to school, serve the court, and have the ambition of peace and security, do you just want to blindly covet pleasure and be used? ”

Han Bin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his tone became heavier and heavier.

Lin Ruhai still sat aside with a smile on his face, he knew that Han Bin was ambitious and strong-minded, and he had the ability to slaughter and assist, and sooner or later he would be able to salute hundreds of officials, and his vision was so high that it would be difficult for Zhu Zi to enter his eyes.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing to teach Jia Qiang a lesson at this time.

Jia Qiang also seemed to understand this, so she didn't get angry, she still had a calm and calm demeanor, and said with a smile: "My lord, not entering the official career does not mean that you will not study or study." It's just that the kid doesn't read the books of sages for the sake of being an official. ”

As soon as these words came out, Han Bin's brows moved.

I heard Jia Qiang say again: "The boy Xu is because of his background, and he has heard a lot of pickled things in the officialdom early, although he also knows that it is inevitable, but he also knows that such corruption and depravity must be fought by someone to suppress the evil with good." However, the boy did not want to be arrogant. There are many talented people in the officialdom, but it won't be my turn to ......"

"It's all like you, who will be in charge of the world's major politics?!"

Han Bin shouted.

Jia Qiang was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded and said: "What the Duke of Banshan said is very true, this is indeed my excuse, but the sea is dangerous, and I really have no intention of going out." My parents died young, and I need to inherit the incense ......"

Han Bin snorted and said, "It's the right way to start a family, but at your young age, the concubine has already received two rooms, and you are still worried?" If there is no queen, it is also providential. ”

Jia Qiang was helpless and said with a wry smile: "Banshan Gong, although the kid is not ambitious, he also has small ambitions. That is, to earn money to open more bookstores, sell more books, and if you have any income, you will build more rural social schools, so that the children of poor people in the countryside can be enlightened...... Of course, this matter will be difficult, and it may not be of much use, but it is a little wishful thinking of the younger generation. Rather than going to the officialdom and intriguing with traitors and corrupt officials, I prefer to do something pure. ”

When Han Bin heard this, he finally stopped reprimanding him sharply, turned around and looked at Lin Ruhai, and said, "It's not a matter of businessman...... That's what he said to you? ”

Lin Ruhai slowly bowed his head and said with a smile: "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to nod my head......"

Han Bin glanced at Jia Qiang again, and said sarcastically: "You should first get fame and fame, and then you will not be ashamed!" Do you think you can become an official if you want to be an official? ”

Jia Qiang smiled and didn't argue anything.

Not having a reputation is indeed a shortcoming when talking to people in this era.

It's like in a previous life, I didn't even have a first Chinese certificate.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Okay, I've been tired for a long time today, let's go." ”

Jia Qiang bowed and left.

Han Bin and Lin Ruhai are both old men in the officialdom who have been eunuchs for decades, and they have a lot of experience as officials, Jia Qiang's words may be eye-catching, but if you want two bigwigs with enough qualifications to enter the military aircraft department to ask him how to manage politics, it will make people laugh out of their big teeth......

After he left, Han Bin bowed his head slightly and said, "I have seen a lot of good seedlings over the years, and your nephew is good." It's a pity that he was too involved in the turmoil in the capital, and the old man thought that he was really afraid, so he stayed away from officialdom. However, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? The oath in officialdom is the same as farting. Brother Ruhai, I will entrust you with the two Huai salt affairs, although your body and bones are still being raised, but the spirit is almost there, help me take care of it. Yangzhou salt is taxed at two million taels of silver a year, and it is increasing year by year, and there must be no errands, and it is not easy for His Majesty in Beijing. ”

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Rest assured, this is my duty." ”

Han Bin stood up and said, "Naturally, you can rest assured, but you can't let you carry this burden, you wait, the old man will deter them first and press the position for you." After you return to Beijing in the coming year, life is bound to be difficult, and most of the cadres who are committed to the new policy are out of Beijing this time, and after you return to Beijing next year, you will cherish it a lot! ”

He knew in his heart what kind of position and counterattack Lin Ruhai would face, so now he would not let Lin Ruhai, who was sick in bed, bear this pressure alone, but first attract a wave of hatred, so that the salt merchants in Yangzhou Mansion would understand that he was the real driving force behind the next salt tax reform and the monopoly of the eight salt merchants!

If you want to take revenge, just come to find him Han Banshan!

As for the sinister situation that Lin Ruhai will face after returning to Beijing next year, it can only rely on Lin Ruhai himself......

The evil in Beijing is a hundred times that of Jiangnan......
