Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Yangzhou City, the two rivers are transferred to the salt transport envoy Si Yamen, Lin Ruhai, who is over forty years old, is still personable like a jade gentleman, with a deep sense of elegance.

But in the hearts of the Yangzhou government and salt merchants, Lin Ruhai is like a big demon king.

He never behaved in a proper manner, but he was good at dancing with long sleeves, and used officialdom to suppress the Yangzhou prefect, Bingbei Dao, Jiangdu Zhixian and other official governments, and even collected the two people of Heying Garrison Qianhu and Caobiao Yamen Qianhu as his right and left hands, and even suppressed Yangzhou officialdom to the death.

And his son Lin Zhao is not only heroic and extraordinary, but also extremely powerful, and all the hands of the major families in the south of the Yangtze River who came to Yangzhou broke their fingers.

The reason why it was not cut off was because they could be kept to make serious money, and if there were anyone who wanted to make a fuss about the salt tax, they would all be cleaned up.

It can be said that the Lin family is very strong in Yangzhou salt affairs.

Because of the strength, of course, the suppressed Yangzhou salt merchants are miserable, not only the annual tax is overfulfilled, but even the salt tax that has been paid less over the years has been cried and shouted to be handed over.

Because if you take a step at night, you are afraid that the family will not be rich.

It can be said that Lin Ruhai's father and son are in Yangzhou, like a dark cloud, suppressing them to death.

But today, it is the happiest day for Yangzhou salt merchants.

Because Lin Ruhai has been the deputy envoy of the Liangjiang Salt Transport Department for three years, because of his high merits, he has been promoted to the governor of Shandong, and he will go to his post today.

Although the salt merchants understood that this meant that Lin Ruhai had the sacred heart of the emperor, and he saw that he would be of great use and would enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, it stands to reason that they were extremely jealous.

But in fact, they wept with joy.

Because of the big demon king's family, they finally left Yangzhou.

The heavens have eyes!

It is not in vain that we continue to send silver to the palace, the elders, and the officials, the emperor is wise, and the elders are loyal to state affairs, and finally promoted this great plague god to a high position and left.

Woowoo......

At this time, Lin Ruhai was standing in the flower hall in the backyard of the Yamen of the Liangjiang Capital Salt Transport Envoy, watching the guys and servants, loading boxes of ignoring things and transporting them away, and he was very emotional.

The political rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty are somewhat similar to those of the Northern Song Dynasty. That is, "the prime minister must start from the state pastor".

Since Emperor Xiaode wanted to make great use of Lin Ruhai, he wanted to give him space for training, so he promoted him to the governor of Shandong.

Not only that, in order to make him stable, Emperor Xiaode also promoted Gu Haiquan to the governor of Quancheng and Han Youliang to the governor of Jining, and relied on Lin Ruhai to govern Shandong.

"Zhao'er, you have to take care of your sister along the way, and when you see your grandmother in Beijing, you must say hello on my behalf. ”

With tears in his eyes, Jia Min looked at Yushu Linfeng's son Lin Zhao, and her already slim daughter Daiyu, and urged vigorously.

Lin Zhao looked at Daiyu beside him, and saw that although she was thin, her complexion was very good, but she was also "like a delicate flower shining on the water when she is quiet, and her action is like a willow supporting the wind", with a peerless appearance, rare and handsome, her manners and words are good, and although her body and face are timid, she has a natural romantic attitude.

This sister is already ten years old.

With the appearance of Lin Zhao, the family is happy, Daiyu is also healthy, and the cowardice in her heart has long been resolved.

Lin Zhao smiled slightly, and said to Jia Min: "Mother takes good care of my father, Jingzhong Yangzhou, in my eyes, it is no different, I am sure that no one will bully my brother and sister, right, Daiyu." ”

The last sentence was said to her sister Lin Daiyu.

Daiyu also smiled softly and said: "Mother rest assured, there is a grandmother and an elder brother in Beijing, and Yu'er will definitely feel at ease." ”

Lin Ruhai looked at the scene of their interaction and couldn't help but sigh.

If it weren't for the glory of the family, who would want to be separated?

Lin Zhao saw his father sighing, so he smiled and said, "Father, who said that those people around you got my guidance, and they all excelled in martial arts, but you should also be careful." If you don't want to go to Daming Lake to drink tea, simply resign from the post of governor of Shandong, and go to the household department in Beijing to do an idle position, you are all loyal earls, you have already glorified your ancestors and restored the glory of your ancestors, why bother to go to Shandong to fight for fame!"

"Bastard, how can it be so easy to quit?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Lin Ruhai's face, looking at his son's disapproving look, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You have strong skills and are at ease, so you can't see your parents working hard in Hongchen? ”

"Besides, now that Prince Yizhong and Prince Zhongyi have retired from illness, and the emperor is in full swing, it is the time for my generation to show his ambitions, and the emperor summoned you to Beijing, isn't it also to reuse and promote you?"

Two years ago, Emperor Xiaode, who had reigned for more than two years, finally gained a firm foothold with the abundant money and political means in his hands, and at least half of the people in the court had already joined him.

At the same time, Prince Yizhong and Prince Zhongyi found an excuse and imprisoned them, and they had already achieved the dictatorship and domination of the world.

Who knew that at this juncture, the emperor's body was gradually healing, although he did not have enough energy to fight with the emperor, but he used the four kings and eight princes and a group of nobles and Emperor Xiaode to compete for power and profit.

Therefore, so far, the four kings and eight princes are still walking sideways in Beijing.

Therefore, Emperor Xiaode thought of Lin Zhao, a good wealth boy beside Lin Ruhai, so he discussed with Lin Ruhai that Xu Linzhao would take the position of commander of the Jinyi Guard, and let him take a group of descendants to enter Beijing to help the emperor deal with certain people.

Now that the emperor has gained a firm foothold, the next step is to take advantage of the situation to clean up those guys who are dead and not stiff one by one.

This kind of good thing that can not only experience the red dust, but also beat the water dogs, and enjoy the prosperity of Beijing, how could Lin Zhao want to miss it?

At this time, Jia's mother wrote several letters in a row, saying that she had never seen her grandson and granddaughter, and asked them to go to Beijing as guests.

Anyway, after he stays in Shandong for a few years, he will also go to Beijing, and his daughter is young, so he shouldn't be so tired.

The family arrived at the Yangzhou wharf, at this time the wharf had already been cleaned up, and there were two Dafu boats on the trestle, one along the canal north to Shandong, one south into the Yangtze River, and then against the Yangtze River to Chang'an.

At the time of separation, a man suddenly stepped over and shouted, "Dong Weng, you are polite in your late life." ”

Everyone looked at it, and saw that the person who came had a clear face, and he had the demeanor of a scholar, it was Lin Daiyu's teacher in the past two years, and Jia Yucun, who also had a half-teacher friendship with Lin Zhao.

This person was born as a scholar, and was kicked out of the officialdom because he was arrogant and disrespectful to officials, and his hands and feet were not very clean. I had been sitting in the Lin family before, and I just resigned from my position in the museum half a year ago, and when I met Dong Weng Gaosheng, I naturally wanted to come to visit.

Lin Daiyu saw the former teacher, and hurriedly straightened her face, bowed and greeted, and the two moves were also slightly bowed.

Although he doesn't like Jia Yucun, he also knows the truth that the water is clear and there are no fish, and after practicing Hongchen, he is not far away, and he is naturally unwilling to deal with it.

After all, this Jia Yucun is very respectful in the Lin Mansion, and he is also dedicated to teaching in his studies, and he never hides his secrets, so Lin Zhao also has a little respect for him.

After all, no one is perfect.

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed, took Jia Yucun's hand and said: "Brother is talented, he should not be buried in the world, my brother originally planned to send a letter to Beijing to help my brother recover, but my brother resigned and left half a year ago, but I didn't expect to see him again today." ”

Jia Yucun said with a smile: "After leaving Yangzhou half a year ago, he took the wind and sleeve the moon, browsed the world's victories, and did not return to Yangzhou until today.

"Hahaha, thank you very much. I don't know if Brother Shi Fei is worried about the future?" Lin Ruhai said with a smile.

For promoting talents and recommending talents, Lin Ruhai likes to do it very much.

After all, people in officialdom help each other, which is also a means for people who are well versed in officialdom.

Lin Zhao watched his father's performance on the side, thoughtful.
