With the lack of court officials, the prince has seized the opportunity to install a lot of his own manpower.

This was acquiesced by the emperor, so naturally there would be no reaction.

And the reason why the prince came out of the imperial study and brought Jia Lian to the East Palace just now was actually to ask about the salt department, but after listening to Jia Lian's answer just now, he changed his mind again.

As an important economic source of the national treasury today, the position of the Ministry of Salt is very important.

And although the salt department has a word for salt, it is not just about managing salt.

The old emperor trusts Lin Ruhai, loves the house and Wu, and even Jia Lian has a royal gold medal that can be cut first and then played, how can Lin Ruhai only succumb to the salt affairs.

So in fact, Lin Ruhai has another layer of identity, which has the same role as the previous salt patrol imperial history, that is, to supervise hundreds of officials.

It's just that unlike the imperial historians, the overseer here will not be directly public in the court, but as the leader of the entire Daxuan, including the detailed work, so the informants.

This is also the reason why after Lin Ruhai's death, the position of the secretary of the salt department has not been filled for a long time.

Because the salt department Shangshu must be the emperor's most trusted person, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Of course, today's Jia Lian is not enough for the prince to be able to pay the heavy responsibility, but the prince himself doesn't know why, he just wanted to hear Jia Lian's opinion.

And now......

Thinking of the emperor's words, the prince's eyes narrowed slightly.

His father, the emperor, is really a good father, and when he is dying, he is thinking about how to help him pave the road in the future.

......

When he returned home, Jia Lian first went to ask Jia for pardon, and then went to Lin Daiyu again.

Lin Daiyu's courtyard, Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun were talking together, and the atmosphere was a little surprised.

"The second master is here."

The girl guarding the door saw Jia Lian from a distance and hurriedly reported the message inside, and everyone got up and saluted when they saw this.

"Sit down."

distressed a few little ones, Jia Lian didn't care about these false courtesies.

It's just that the current environment is like this, the ancients respected the rules, if Jia Lian seems different, he will find people to criticize him, so he can only be the same.

When everyone sat down, Lin Daiyu and Jia Xichun's faces were a little haggard, Jia Yingchun was better, but he was in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The room was quiet for a while, and Jia Lian thought that everyone was related to Jia Tanchun's affairs, so he thought about comforting him.

"But you're still sad because of the girl's visit?"

Speaking slowly, Jia Lian tried his best to make his expression look gentle.

In fact, there are more than a few small ones these days, even Jia Lian himself also feels depressed.

It's just that now he seems to be the pillar of this family, if even he shows a worried look, the atmosphere is even more depressing.

"Second Brother Lian, will you never see Sister Tanchun again in the future?"

Xichun is the youngest, and she is also the most unbearable, originally she couldn't go to see Jia Tanchun today, and this time she heard Jia Lian say this, she was even more aggrieved.

Sighing, Jia Lian beckoned Xichun to come to her, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped her tears carefully, and then smiled slightly.

"How come, your sister Tanchun can be regarded as seeking benevolence this time, you might as well think like this, Tanchun this girl is ambitious, if she is just restrained in Kyoto, she will only be a husband and a godchild in the future, but this time she went to make peace, she went to the country of Qianxiang, this country you are lonely and unheard, Anping should know it."

Although Lin Daiyu was a little emotional about going to Tanchun and kissing, she was actually more dominated by the atmosphere brought by this joy and sorrow.

She is a person who has lost her parents, and she has been separated twice, so this kind of life is nothing.

And the sadness she shows now is nothing more than because she thinks of her parents again, so she has relatives.

As for the Qianxiangguo in Jia Lian's mouth, Lin Daiyu also really knows, when the news of Jia Tanchun and his relatives came out, Lin Ruhai was still alive, although there were times when they didn't get along happily, but in the final analysis, they were sisters who grew up together, Lin Daiyu had to inquire a few times, and she also knew some details when she came and went.

"That Qianxiang country heard that it was originally my Daxuan people, born in the Guangdong area, but later natural disasters and man-made disasters, and couldn't go on, so they fell into the grass and robbed the merchant ships along the way.

The imperial court sent troops to suppress it, but they were local natives, and they were good at water kung fu, and they were always unpleasing several times, so the court gave up.

And after more than a hundred years of development, this group of pirates grew stronger and stronger, and finally simply found an island to form a country of their own, and their country is also peculiar, I heard that the king is a woman, not only that, but among the people, women are also the same as men, and they walk on the streets in the blue sky and daylight. ”

Of course, Lin Ruhai's original words were not like this.

Lin Ruhai is an authentic Confucian, in his eyes, Qianxiang Country was originally born as a bandit, and it was disloyal and unfilial to establish a country on his own, and such a fierce folk style became shameless in his mouth.

After all, in Daxuan, the male protagonist and the female protagonist, husband and child, is the job that women should do.

This kind of thing sounded to Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun, which was no different from mythological stories, so they all looked at Jia Lian with sparkling eyes when they heard the words.

"And your sister Tanchun went this time, on behalf of our Daxuan, this Qianxiang country has no other crops except madder and seafood, so it is very yearning for our inland real estate crops, in order to marry Liangti forever, Tanchun brought a lot of craftsmen and craftsmen and farmers when she went, so she went, and the queen of the madder country did not dare to snub her."

Speaking of this, Jia Lian's eyes warmed.

When he was in the Illusory Realm, Jia Tanchun's name also appeared in the Bo Ming Division.

It's just that now that the emperor's plan for Heqin has changed, I don't know if the ending of Tanchun will be different from the above.

You must know that today's Jia Yanchun's position is in Jia Lian's opinion, and I am afraid that it will not be as good as the former Princess Wencheng.

The queen of Qianxiang Kingdom is very yearning for the rich inland products, and in order to stabilize the external strife, and then concentrate on dealing with internal affairs, under Jia Lian's suggestion, he simply sent a lot of crop seeds and related technicians over.

Although the scale may not be comparable to Princess Wencheng, the posture is still the same.

This is also the reason why Jia Lian is optimistic about Jia Tanchun's prospects this time.

Jia Tanchun is an ambitious girl, and the place she went to this time is the equality of men and women that Daxuan can't match, maybe, in the future, this Qianxiang country and Daxuan will really be able to rely on her to usher in harmony.

And the day before the marriage, Jia Lian had met Jia Tanchun in private.

In later generations, Japan and South Korea invaded the culture of the Celestial Empire, and Jia Lian had a deep experience.

On weekdays, if there is a favorite star around you who is not a Japanese and Korean star, you may have to be despised.

What kind of superiority is there when watching TV.

Those who watch American dramas look down on those who watch Korean dramas, and those who watch Korean dramas look down on those who watch domestic dramas.

In Jia Lian's view, although there are elements of their own inadequacy, it can also be seen that the other party's cultural invasion is powerful.

Therefore, if Jia Tanchun wants to firmly occupy a position in the country of Qianxiang, cultural invasion is obviously a very good choice.

These words were not told to Lin Daiyu and the others, but Jia Lian thought in his heart.

Jia Tanchun has arrived in such an environment and has such background capital, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is like a fish in water.

And in Jia Lian's view, Daxuan's tolerance for Qianxiang Kingdom is just because of the current situation of the crown prince, so he has to do it.

And once Daxuan's internal situation is stable and Jia Tanchun's series of moves are also successful, maybe big things will happen, and it is not impossible to come back.

It's just that if this is the case, Jia Tanchun is afraid that he will also be in danger.

And this is just speculation, so Jia Lian didn't say it.

But these few words have already shocked these little girls, and they are also full of expectations for Jia Tanchun's future.

As the days passed, although Lin Ruhai's death did not make the salt department a mess, there were a lot of troubles.

So Jia Lian's original matter was put on hold indefinitely again, and he began to deal with official business with Zuo Shilang.

And among them, every time he goes to the court, Jia Lian can also clearly feel that the emperor's vitality is getting less and less.

"Second master, Zhen Gongzi of the Zhen family came to ask to see him."

Jia Lian was resting today, playing with the two little ones, and was slightly stunned when he heard the words.

"The Zhen family?"

When Jia Lian left Suzhou, although he didn't say it explicitly, he had already vaguely revealed the emperor's physical condition.

According to Jia Lian's observation, before the old emperor died, he must have to help his son clear the way, if the Zhen family wants not to be regarded as a chicken that kills chickens and makes an example of monkeys, then the action of returning to the treasury is naturally as fast as possible.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian knew in his heart who was coming, and said a few words to Qin Keqing and Ping'er Jade, and then spoke to the gatehouse.

"Go and invite the guests to the study in the outer courtyard, and I'll go."

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Jia Lian didn't really want to have anything to do with the Zhen family, but he still didn't mind this kind of effort.

And last time, Jia Lian felt that he had said it very clearly, if the Zhen family came to return the treasury this time, he also wanted to see how other people reacted.

After all, this tacit unspoken rule now has a pathfinder, and if it is successful, Jia Lian can speed up his actions.

The porter Zhen Qiyao was drinking tea in his hand, his eyes swept the room casually, and his heart sank slightly.

Except for Suzhou this time, he and Jia Lian met when Jia Lian got married, the two were about the same age, and at that time both of them were the same acquaintances of the five grades of the official residence, but now in just a few years, Jia Lian has become an unattainable figure for him.

"Master Zhen, my grandfather invites you to the study."

Respectfully spoke, the porter bowed his hand to Zhen Qiyao, his face was neither humble nor arrogant.

Jia Lian's family rules, no matter what position they are engaged in, everyone's status is equal.

So now, even if Rongguo Mansion is just a gatehouse, the style is very good.

was completely different from the atmosphere he saw last time, Zhen Qiyao was secretly surprised in his heart, and followed the porter inside.

Jia Lian guessed Zhen Qiyao's intention this time, so this time they met to find out the bottom of Zhen Qiyao.

The Zhen family has been away from Kyoto for many years, but Jia Lian can't help the Zhen family if they want to come, after all, they still have three daughters in charge.

And Zhen Qiyao's intention this time, if Jia Lian didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid he wanted Raja Lian to go into the water.

After all, this idea was Jia Lian's idea, and Jia Lian himself said that he would return it, so if he could pull Jia Lian together this time, the risk would be reduced a lot.

"Zhen Gongzi, please, my grandfather has been waiting for a long time."

Xing'er's voice came from outside, and Jia Lian knew that this was Zhen Qiyao's arrival, so he didn't pretend and went out to greet him directly.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of wind has blown you here today."

With a smile on his face, as if he had not seen his best friend for a long time, Jia Lian naturally let people into the house.

Zhen Qiyao is younger than Jia Lian, so it is common for Jia Lian to call him by name, but Zhen Qiyao does not dare to call Jia Lian by name.

Stiffened a little by Jia Lian's sudden enthusiasm, Zhen Qiyao stiffened slightly, and then quickly returned to his usual exquisiteness, and smiled heartily at Jia Lian.

"Second Brother Lian laughed, you and I are two families, and since I am in Beijing, I will definitely report to you first."

His eyes narrowed slightly, Zhen Qiyao smiled and sat down under Jia Lian's arrangement, and the two exchanged pleasantries a little.

It seems that his guess was correct.

Zhen Qiyao is a talent, this is what Jia Lian put down from the first time he saw this person.

In Zhen Baoyu's lawless Zhen family, he was able to stand out from it and become the leader of the new generation of the Zhen family, and his strength was beyond doubt.

So now, when it is obviously very obvious, Zhen Qiyao is patient, and does not take the initiative to talk about the treasury, just to let Jia Lian speak first, so that he can take the lead, so that Jia Lian can fall into passivity and complete Raja Lian's desire to enter the water.

Is it just that Jia Lian cares?

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and Jia Lian didn't urge, looking at Zhen Qiyao who seemed to be calm and relaxed.

After he had already said such things, the Zhen family now sent Zhen Qiyao to Beijing to find him, indicating that he had followed Jia Lian's advice.

It also shows that they believe Jia Lian's words, so that they can't wait to return the treasury now.

Although the Jia family also owes the treasury, Jia Lian is not afraid.

Anyway, whether it is in the Red Mansion or at the moment, even if the emperor wants to use people as chickens to make an example of monkeys, it will not be his Jia family, so Jia Lian is not afraid of spending time with Zhen Qiyao.

If you want to go around in circles, if Jia Lian takes the initiative to pick up the stubble, he will lose.

Time passed little by little, Zhen Qi, Yao and Jia Lian had said it all over and over again, it was fairies and ghosts, and they had said it several times.

Not to mention that Zhen Qiyao has hinted at Jia Lian several times, but unfortunately Jia Lian just doesn't pick up.

Secretly hating Jia Lian's difficulty, Zhen Qiyao didn't seem to be tired at all, and Jia Lian, who wanted to talk to him for three days and three nights, was so angry that he was angry.

It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, not to mention that he can't move Jia Lian with his identity, even if he can, he doesn't dare, and not only that, but he also has to offer Jia Lian up.

Zhen Yingjia had already said on the way to let him come, whether it is the four families of Jinling or the eight families of Kyoto, they are basically in name only, and the Shan Jia family is different.

Because of Jia Lian, the Jia family is now in a thriving stage, and the idea last time was also made by Jia Lian, so this time, he can only respect and please Jia Lian, and he doesn't dare to show the slightest malice towards Jia Lian.
