Chapter 191: Interests
Meng Wenzhao kept talking about Lin Mo's violent destruction of heavenly things on the side, knowing this method but not telling them, how important this method is to the court and the people, Du Shaofu and the three of them were a little excited, Lin Mo was very calm, and then put forward a small request of his own: "Adult, the student wants to see everything." ”
"Huh? What do you see him doing? Lin Mo didn't hide it and said directly: "Thank you for letting me go this time." Du Shaofu immediately understood, and then sighed and said: "Lin Mo's matter this time is a small twist and turn, you don't have to take it to heart, prepare well for the next government test, by the way, how did you put the salt into the Wanquan boat?" ”
When Lin Mo heard this, he said: "This salt is actually a scene that I let people play, and I put this salt into the ship of Wanjia on this river." Then Lin Mo told himself how he deliberately let people hit the boat, and then pretended to fall into the water, attracting all the people of Wanjia, and then took the opportunity to put a few bags of salt into Wanjia's boat.
The three of them gave Lin Mo a thumbs up after hearing this, and then said, "Your method is really eye-opening, what are you thinking in your head?" All this bad water in your stomach? ”
Lin Mo was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "I just want to treat others in the way of others, but I didn't expect that there was really illicit salt on the ship, which can be regarded as a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse, and accidentally stumbling into a case of trafficking in illicit salt." ”
Du Shaofu looked at Lin Mo deeply when he heard this, and there was a trace of strange gaze, but Lin Mo was a little flustered, for fear that Du Shaofu would see that he was hiding some things from everyone.
Du Shaofu didn't dig deeper, and then Du Shaofu asked Lin Mo how he was studying, Lin Mo just said that he would read some books every day, and he just had the mentality of trying this government exam, and he didn't plan to pass the exam at one time. Wu Wenyan asked Lin Mo to go all out, not to worry about anything else, and to rest assured about scientific research.
Seeing that the three of them no longer asked about this case, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, he knew some of the hidden secrets of this case, especially Wanquan's private salt must have something to do with the Hu family, but he couldn't say that on the one hand, in order not to get involved in the incident, on the other hand, it was also for Ma Ruoya, if it was really exposed, the Ma family would not be able to get out of it, and now Lin Mo had put himself in a whirlpool for the Ma family, Lin Mo only hoped to help Ma please this matter earlier, and get out as soon as possible, otherwise it would definitely bring big trouble.
The four chatted for a long time, Meng Wenzhao invited the three of them to his house for a light meal, Du Shaofu politely refused on the grounds that he still had to deal with official business, and Lin Mo was left by Du Shaofu, saying that he was asking about the method of making salt, and Meng Wenzhao did not suspect that he left with Wu Wenyan.
At this time, there were only two people left in the hall, Lin Mo and Du Shaofu, Du Shaofu looked at Lin Mo and said lightly: "Now it's just you and me, if you have anything to say, just say what you know." Lin Mo panicked when he heard this: "What are you talking about, my lord, the students don't understand very well." ”
Du Shaofu looked at Lin Mo and said, "Don't stop pretending now, this time the matter of trafficking in illicit salt is really that simple?" According to your intelligence, you can't see the catty in it? Lin Mo's heart had sunk to the bottom at this time, and he felt that Du Shaofu had completely understood what he was thinking, and he couldn't hide this matter from him. Lin Mo finally smiled bitterly: "Now that the adults know, the students have nothing to say." ”
Du Shao
As soon as he saw Lin Mo behaving like this, he knew that what he expected was good, and then said: "This foolproof trafficking in illicit salt is indeed full of loopholes, one is that if he really trafficked illicit salt, he would not lead us to the dock, if he knew that there was illicit salt on the ship, he would not let the servants help carry the goods after the water, this is purely self-defeating; After the last accident, the people smashed his shop, but did not find any illegal salt, indicating that he did not use private salt in his shop; Three, since Wan Quan was wronged, why did he directly admit that he was indeed trafficking in illicit salt, this is bent on death, this is too abnormal, you should have found out. ”
Lin Mo finally nodded and admitted, Du Shaofu continued: "Presumably you can also see that although this Wanquan did not traffic illicit salt, it must have some connection with this trafficking of illicit salt, there must be someone behind him involved in this matter, and now this matter is making a big fuss, and this matter must be suppressed as soon as possible, so this is the coercion and temptation to make this Wanquan resist this matter." ”
Now that Du Shaofu has made all the things clear, he must have known about the Hu family, Lin Mo felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so he planned to explain the situation and take the Ma family out of it first.
Du Shaofu didn't give Lin Mo a chance to speak, and continued: "Lin Mo, I know that you must have noticed this matter, but you don't want to provoke right and wrong anymore, so you didn't find out about it, you are only seventeen or eighteen, you just encountered this incident, and almost lost your life, so naturally you are very scared and very regretful of your life, I also understand this." ”
Lin Mo was a little at a loss, how could Du Shaofu start to analyze his thoughts, although this analysis was far from his real thoughts, Lin Mo did not interrupt Du Shaofu's words, but let him continue.
Du Shaofu saw that Lin Mo was a little silent, and knew that what he said was indeed what Lin Mo thought, so he said: "Alas, this matter is actually already known by the official, but it is widely implicated, and the official did not directly investigate and arrest it, this matter is far from being as simple as you imagined, it is very wise that you don't want to be contaminated, so you don't want to be involved in this matter, so as not to be calculated and used by others again." ”
Du Shaofu's words made Lin Mo react, this Du Shaofu didn't know about the Hu family, he always thought that he just noticed that there was a force behind the Wan family, and he was afraid of causing trouble so much to prevaricate him.
Lin Mo then said a little helplessly: "My lord, I have already been involved in this matter, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get out, this whole thing can't be separated from me, I'm afraid those people won't let me go easily." ”
Du Shaofu was a little powerless when he heard it, what Lin Mo said was that the power of those people had already taken root in Yunzhou and in the south of the Yangtze River, although he was Fu Yin, but for them, it would be a snap of his fingers to destroy it, if it weren't for the relationship of the Meng family, and the care of adults, I am afraid that he would have disappeared without a trace overnight like his predecessor Fu Yin.
But Du Shaofu will not be consumed by these things, and will not be frightened by those people, Du Shaofu looked at Ling Linmo and said firmly: "Don't worry, as long as you are in Yunzhou, I can still protect you, this private salt is a big case, and those people will definitely stop for a long time after the accident, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being, and your entanglement with Wanquan Those people are not clear, this time you use this private salt to blame Wanquan, Wanquan now feels that he will not say it, and the people behind him will not know,
Therefore, in the eyes of others, this matter is just a self-inflicted consequence, and it has nothing to do with you, and it should not trouble you. ”
Du Shaofu relieved himself so much that Lin Mo was a little moved, this incident brought Lin Mo and Du Shaofu into the relationship, with Du Shaofu as the backing, Lin Mo can do many things in the future, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Lin Mo hurriedly thanked him: "Lord Yin of Xie Mansion, with Lord Yin of Mansion here, the students can be regarded as relieved." ”
Du Shaofu smiled: "You don't have to be polite, I should help you both in public and private, by the way, can you write me in detail about your method of making salt." I'm going to submit it so that it can be used as soon as possible for the benefit of one party. ”
Lin Mo looked at Du Shaofu and immediately said, "The student knows that the adults want to use this method to bring more fine salt to the imperial court, but the student doesn't want this method to spread out, at least not yet." Du Shaofu was a little surprised when he heard this, thinking that Lin Mo was afraid that this method would be won by the imperial court in vain, and he would not get any benefits.
So Du Shaofu enlightened: "Lin Mo, if you use this method, it will definitely be able to increase the entire Yunzhou, no, it is the production of salt from all over the world, and at that time, it will not only bring more taxes to the imperial court, but also allow more people to eat clean official salt." Don't worry, I will make this method clear to you, and the court will definitely reward you at that time, and it will benefit you a lot. ”
Lin Mo shook his head and said: "The students don't care about those awards, the students are thinking about those poor people, if this method is used, I'm afraid there will be more people who can't even eat the 'black salt'." ”
Du Shaofu was very surprised when he heard this, if others said this, Du Shaofu would have been angry, after all, this method is a method for the benefit of all the people in the eyes of him and other well-educated people, and if he does not let this method be used against the people, such a person will be criticized by the mouth, but this is from Lin Mo's mouth, then it must be reasonable. So Du Shaofu asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Lin Mo said: "Now this official salt is in short supply, so the price is so high, and this high price will naturally bring a lot of taxes to the imperial court, and the imperial court will therefore fill the treasury." But this high price makes those poor people unable to eat this official salt, and instead use those 'black salt', although it is not comparable to official salt, but this gives most poor people a chance to live, and the court also turns a blind eye to this, on the one hand, although there is a lot of black salt, it will not affect the sales of official salt, after all, rich people buy official salt without money to buy black salt, rich people are the buyers of this official salt, the two will not have a big conflict, and the existence of black salt at least allows those poor people to live, This will not be the case with the founding of the country. ”
Lin Mo continued: "Because of these two points, the imperial court has always been in a state of acquiescence to this 'black salt'. In fact, this crackdown on illegal salt is the official salt sold privately, and the crackdown is on the sale of white salt, not black salt. Illegal sale of white salt will affect taxes and local stability, this black salt will not be like this, black salt is not profitable, no one will smuggle black salt, and the poor will have a way to live. ”
