"Uncle awake? Great, nephew Jia Huan, I have seen my uncle. ”

Jia Huan returned to the back house again, and after pushing the door open, he saw Lin Daiyu sitting on the edge of the bed with tears in her eyes, talking to Lin Ruhai.

After Jia Huan called in surprise, he asked Lin Ruhai for peace.

However, to Jia Huan's surprise, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Huan with a strange look.

It's not like I'm looking at relatives who have worked hard to come from afar, but it's a bit like I'm looking at my third grandson......

Jia Huan wondered in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Lin Daiyu sitting there shyly, playing with the corner of his clothes, and Jia Huan immediately had an epiphany.

Eighty percent of the old guy was already conscious just now, and he eavesdropped on the whispers between the little couple.

Yes?! This old man is not ashamed! Is this worth it?

"Uncle, it's not my nephew who said you ......"

Jia Huan made a straight face, and in the surprised eyes of Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu, who raised his head to look at him, he opened his head in a calm voice......

Then, I saw that he didn't step forward, walked to the side of the bed, covered the quilt for Lin Ruhai, and said with a smile on his face: "You don't care about your body too much, you do this, but you are inserting a knife in the heart of our juniors, how distressed we are......"

The purple juan on the side had a strange complexion, and Lin Daiyu's pretty face became more and more red, but there was already a little more smile in her beautiful eyes.

Lin Ruhai looked at this stinky and shameless man with some dumbfoundedness, and wondered in his heart, how shameless does a man have to be to be numb to this point?

"Uncle, this time Sister Lin and I brought the best doctor from the Tai Hospital. The doctor said, you are overworked, tired! All other problems are just triggers. As long as you can recuperate calmly for a while, it won't take long for you to recover!

Uncle. I'll tell you in advance, starting today. You can't handle any official business at all, so let Sister Lin talk to you, joking! I will also say hello to the people in front of the yamen, and from now on, whoever dares to trouble your uncle with official business, I will let them see how powerful my Jia Sanye is!

I will do everything I can do with the prince's son, a bunch of country brains, see if I don't hammer them to death! ”

Lin Ruhai didn't reply, but turned his head to look at Lin Daiyu. The meaning of the eyes is:

That's what you fancied?

……

Lin Daiyu and Zijuan went down and went back to the boudoir when Lin Daiyu lived in Yangzhou to visit.

When Lin Daiyu was leaving, she gave Jia Huan a fierce look of "You don't want to die......

After only Lin Ruhai and Jia Huan were left in the room, the atmosphere quieted down.

"Uncle, is it worth it?"

After being silent for a long time, Jia Huan spoke.

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he let out a long sigh, and then said, "My Lin family." The world receives the emperor's favor, and the only way to repay it is to serve him with loyalty. Is it worth talking about? ”

After Jia Huan heard this, he resolutely stopped dwelling on this matter.

The matter has come to this point, and Lin Ruhai is still bent on doing so. Jia Huan didn't think that he could say a few words to move Lin Ruhai.

"Your Majesty has a will for you this time?"

Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Huan was silent. He took the initiative to ask.

Jia Huan sighed and said, "You didn't invite me to resign." I asked Su Peisheng to talk to me for a while, and the meaning between the words. For example, let me help you, and make sure that the amount of gold and silver this year is increased by another 10%. I asked Su Peisheng, what is gold and silver? He didn't know what to say, he just said that you know, uncle. Uncle, don't literati have a saying, called a big husband must say everything to others? Tell me, what does Lao Su mean by this old eunuch? ”

"Presumptuous!"

Although Lin Ruhai's qi was very insufficient, after hearing this disrespectful remark, he still scolded Jia Huan angrily, and then gasped again and again.

Although Jia Huan was impatient, he still had to give him a smooth breath and patted him on the back.

Lin Ruhai raised his hand with great effort, blocked Jia Huan, and frowned: "Your Jia family is also the emperor's favor, how can you not have any loyalty in your heart?" ”

Jia Huan shook his head and said, "Uncle, you are wrong. The kid has answered several times in front of the Emperor, if I don't have any loyalty in my heart, how can I hide it from the Emperor's eyes? ”

Lin Ruhai's brows furrowed even more, looked at Jia Huan, and said a little incredulously: "Is it possible, are you from over there?" ”

Jia Huan sneered and said, "I beat his son half to death, do you think I'm from his side?" ”

Lin Ruhai was puzzled: "Then ...... you are?"

Jia Huan said: "Uncle, I am also loyal, but my loyalty is Daqin." If any adulterer moves; Chaos, or foreign invasion, I just die like my ancestors, and I don't hesitate to do it. Because I want to protect Daqin, but also protect my family. ”

After hearing Jia Huan's words, Lin Ruhai's face darkened, and his eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Jia Huan, and then sighed: "I'm not you, and the Lin family is far from being comparable to the Jia family...... Since he opened his mouth, there was no room for me to refuse. Moreover, I have always had the ambition to restore the glory of my ancestors, and the method of repaying civil officials and martial artists is not the same. I don't regret what I did, but I hurt them......"

When Jia Huan heard this, he didn't know what to say.

The ancestors of the Lin family were three generations of liehous, and in the fourth generation, they inherited another generation.

The liehous were awarded the title for their literary merits.

Lin Ruhai's ancestors have been in the past four generations, all of whom are famous ministers of the country.

In Lin Ruhai's generation, Guoen is gone, so it's time to work hard.

He was also angry, he was admitted to Tanhualang, and he has been an official and has achieved the senior official position of a doctor in Lantai Temple.

Later, he was appointed by Emperor Longzheng as the imperial history of salt patrol.

Perhaps, Emperor Longzheng also promised him that he would be given the position of a prince on the day of success, so as to continue his ancestral achievements.

On the one hand, it is impossible to refuse, and on the other hand, it is difficult to bear the temptation of reward. Confuse.

In short, Lin Ruhai is going farther and farther down the evil road of diehard......

"What about Sister Lin?"

Lin Ruhai is already incorrigible, whether it is mental, situational or physical. Jia Huan can give up on him......

But, what about Lin Daiyu?

After Lin Ruhai heard this, he looked at Jia Huan with stunned eyes, and said something that made Jia Huan very embarrassed: "If it weren't for the fact that it had come to this." How could I let my good girl follow you? ”

What do you mean? Am I bad?

Jia Huan said something in his heart, and his face was slightly embarrassed for a while. Then he returned to normal and said with a smile: "Uncle." You can rest assured. I don't have the ability to do anything big, and I can't be a famous minister, but I still have the ability to protect my family's safety and well-being, and live a happy life. ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

After a fierce cough, Lin Ruhai glared at Jia Huan and said, "Are you mocking me?" ”

Jia Huan finally understood where Lin Daiyu's careful thoughts came from......

"Uncle, let me ask you a question. Who hurt you? I promised Sister Lin that I would avenge you. ”

Jia Huan asked as he peeled an apple from the table.

Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "You don't want to get involved in this kind of thing." Those people are lawless and don't scruple because of who you are. If you Jia Jiayun Banner Thirteen Generals are still down, it's fine, but now ......"

Jia Huan was annoyed that this old man looked down on people, so he showed off: "Mrs. Fengsheng gave me a martial sect-level master, and I also have a team of personal soldiers." ”

After saying that, he suddenly remembered again: "By the way, uncle, didn't the emperor send a few masters to protect you?" What about people? ”

Lin Ruhai was dumbfounded for a long time, and then slowly came back to his senses, his face becoming more and more entangled. He muttered, "If there is a Martial Sect by my side, why is it here?" ”

After struggling for a while, he replied, "They are all dead in battle." ”

Jia Huan nodded and said, "No wonder...... I was just thinking about it. If they were there, the two Lin family members from Suzhou would not have been so arrogant, and they would have dared to lack medical treatment for your uncle. also dared to yell at Sister Lin. ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, his face sank. Said angrily: "These two bastard things! ”

Jia Huan first gestured at the peeled apple in his hand and asked Lin Ruhai if he would eat it. After learning that he was not in the mood to eat, he "chirped" and took a bite, and then said with a big grin: "Uncle, don't worry, they dare to shout to Sister Lin, that is, they are looking for death, nephew, I will teach them to be a man in minutes." One person broke two legs, got into the carriage, and rushed back to Suzhou. also asked people to bring a message to the elders of the Lin family, and exchange them for a few loyal and respectful ones, and if there are such ones, uncle, you will have to recruit a son-in-law. You can rest assured, the back will definitely be honestly tight. ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, but he agreed with Jia Huan's way of handling things.

He is nearly fifty years old, and he is a person who has been in the world for a long time, especially in the past few years, in order to inspect illegal salt and increase salt tax revenue, he has killed a lot of heads, and he is not a sour and useless literati.

It can be seen that Jia Huan's nonsense is nonsense, and he is also a little playful, but when dealing with problems, he will not be restrained, nor is he helpless.

That's good, that's good......

"Uncle, you haven't said yet, is the poison of the aconitum on your body the White Lotus Sect or the Demon Sect?"

Jia Huan asked a little insistently, and his eyes became much more serious.

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "I'm not from the rivers and lakes, how do I know if it's the White Lotus or the Demon Sect?" One thing is for sure, though, it must be because of the salt. ”

When he mentioned this stubble, Jia Huan was speechless: "Uncle, can't you follow the rules and follow in the footsteps of your predecessor?" What do you have to do with those taxes? You can add it, but how did I hear that the amount of tax money paid to the treasury is getting smaller and smaller every year? By the way, there is also the Zhen family, the emperor has agreed, and he has a deficit for his family with salt tax and silver, why are you stopping it here? ”

Lin Ruhai was silent for a while, and then said, "Do you know how much benefit salt goods are?" ”

Jia Huan was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I think it should be quite profitable." ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "It's not just a lot of money...... The national dynasty produced 600 million catties of salt a year, and the price of one catty of salt was three coins of silver, which was a total of 180 million taels of silver. Among them, the two Huaihuai salt occupy 400 million catties, that is, 120 million taels of silver. According to the tax rate of ten taxes and one of the ten taxes of the dynasty, you can get 12 million taels of silver. However, before I came, the tax paid by Lianghuai in a year was less than 3 million taels. Even today, the tax silver is still only six million taels. ”

Jia Huan was dumbfounded: "Then how much is their capital?" ”

Lin Ruhai sneered and said, "What capital?" When they collected it from the salt farm, a pound of salt was only 20 yuan, but when they sold it to the common people, it was as high as 300 yuan. If not, where did they get their huge profits to feed pigs with pearls and chickens with ginseng? ”
