The people are very interested in gossip in officialdom, but most of the scheming only operates in the hearts of the parties, and the truth only exists in the hearts of the parties, so outsiders can only see the results, and most of the time they see flowers in the fog.

Of course, a large part of the fun of officialdom gossip lies in the process of reversing the results, and by the way, it is happy to deduce countless unreliable legends.

For example, Lord Li and Yang Futai drew a sword duel in the mansion for 300 rounds without winning or losing, and finally Ding Yunenvoy stepped forward to help Lord Li, Yang Futai was caught off guard by several swords, and had no choice but to defeat Maicheng. Now Lord Yang is still recuperating behind closed doors, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

But in Yangzhou City recently, the news of the Golden Million Family has overwhelmed all gossip and become the hottest topic, and even the star Li Daren can't compete.

Jin Million's third daughter was actually selected as the imperial concubine who was only a little worse than the queen, and she wanted to sleep on the dragon bed and sleep with the dragon!

What's even more unimaginable is that the famous nouveau riche Jin Million has turned into a relative of the emperor, and whoever sees it has to be called the national ruler!

There are many discussions in hundreds of tea shops and restaurants in the city, and there is nothing to say.

"When the third sister of the Jin family was born, my mother-in-law next door went to deliver the baby, it was really full of red light, hundreds of birds came to the court, and all kinds of birds parked on the roof and the branches in the yard!"

"I heard that the eunuchs in the palace beat their heads in order to snatch this task of coming to the Jin family to announce the decree, and in the end it was decided by the emperor. This eunuch really made a fortune, Jin Guozhang gave him 10,000 taels of silver as happy money, and those who accompanied him were 2,000 taels each! This time, the expenses of a lifetime have been earned. ”

"What do you know, this is a million gold to collect favors for the daughter in the palace."

"Jin Million won't give birth to a son, but he can give birth to a daughter, isn't it God's compensation for him."

"Yes, I originally thought that his second sister was married to the same family as Yun, which was good enough. Who knew that the eldest sister, who had been separated for a long time, suddenly appeared last year, and it turned out to be Lord Li's inner room. But who would have thought that the third sister of the Jin family was even more amazing. actually became an imperial concubine. With this kind of luck, the old man has lived for decades and has not seen a second one. ”

"Do you think the third sister of the Jin family will give birth to a prince in the future?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

For the people, it is a heated discussion, and for the salt merchants in the same industry with millions of gold, it is an unprecedented sensation. Salt merchants are rich and do not lack silver, and their greatest pursuit is often the noble word of wealth. The golden million is equivalent to one step to the sky, which is unprecedented in the Gangshang!

Peers don't know much about Jin Million, how can this Jin Yuan have the ability to send his daughter to be the imperial concubine? If 500,000 taels of silver can buy an imperial concubine, they can produce at least seven or eight imperial concubines in the salt industry.

With intuition, I can also guess that this must have something to do with the son-in-law he picked up, this Lord Li's wrist is all over the sky. It's not surprising that there is a way out.

At the beginning, they were not very optimistic about Jin Million's enthusiasm for marrying Lord Li, a cheap son-in-law, although Lord Li can be called a powerful person, but as a businessman, he should be good at dancing with long sleeves, how can there be a reason to hang himself on a tree. If you offend the Salt Transportation Division, how can you be a salt merchant?

The world is unpredictable, Jin Yuanwai did not hang himself on the tree, but really flew on the high branch as a phoenix. It's amazing.

However, among the three hundred merchants, there was one person who was restless, tossing and turning, and that was He Yunzi, the chief manager of the Lianghuai Salt Industry Association.

In other words, the names of the Salt Industry Association and the 24 General Merchants have been played, although the time is relatively short, and a mature operation mechanism has not yet been formed, and it is still in the stage of talking on paper. But He Yuanwai, the head of the guild and the head of the twenty-four general merchants, trembled, and faintly wanted to become the leader of the two Huai Gang merchants.

It's only been a few days, and the Jin family has such a great happy event. He Yuanwai, a big salt merchant of the same magnitude as the gold million, was envious. Thinking about my place again, a strange feeling lingered in my heart. ..., if Jin Yuanwai becomes the abbot of the country. The extravagance is far beyond himself, so it is very awkward to sit in the position of the leader of his two Huai Gang merchants and the head of the Salt Industry Guild, do you want to give up the seat to the national master?

He Yunzi also remembered that at the beginning, Jin Million actively promoted the establishment of the guild, but he carried forward his style and took the initiative to propose that he should not be in charge, could it be just waiting for today? It's cunning.

In fact, he didn't know that these were all instructed by Li You, and Jin Million was just an executor.

However, He Yuanwai thought about the gains and losses, Jin Million became the national ruler, and he may not be able to look at the position of the guild manager...

Thinking about it, He Yuanwai decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Jin Million, and it was useless to think about it behind closed doors.

The next day, early in the morning, He Yuanwai went to visit the Golden Mansion. But I saw that the sedan chairs parked outside the gate of the Jin family were one after another, and they were discharged for nearly a mile.

When I entered the Jin Jiayi Gate again, I saw that the hall was full of friends, and even there were more than a dozen tables and dozens of chairs in the courtyard of the hall, and the same seats were full. Fortunately, it is the spring season, and it is not lukewarm to sit in the courtyard.

The servants of the Jin family knew He Yuanwai and came forward to salute, "Master He, my master has instructed me to talk to Master Li this morning, so I don't see any guests." ”

He glanced at the hall and the hall a few times, and there were so many people waiting in the hall... He nodded and said, "In that case, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

The servant did not deceive any of the members, Jin Million was indeed talking to Li You at this time, and it was a very important conversation.

Jin Million longs for the role of the national abbot, and even does not hesitate to spend 500,000 taels to gamble on luck, not only for vanity, but also for the safety of his family.

After all, he is burdened with the crime of trafficking in a huge amount of illicit salt, and if he can't find a way to eliminate the crime, his life is likely to be a dream in the end.

Now that the wish has been fulfilled, with the identity of the national abbot as a talisman, most of the crime and whitewashing have been successful, and the remaining small half, with Li You's operation, must not be a big problem.

Every time I think about this, Jin Million sighs that betting on his son-in-law, who doesn't seem to be a thing on the surface, last year is simply the wisest gamble in his life.

Others saw him enjoying the glory, as if he had picked up a fortune for nothing. Who knew that he had the pressure of his wife crying and making trouble, the threat of cutting off the business of the salt transportation company, the risk of alienation from his peers, and the determination to throw 500,000 taels of silver into the water?

What's more, is it so easy to deal with Li You? Is Lee You's trust so easy to obtain? In other words, others have already been sold, and they still help count the money.

Fortunately, it succeeded, and the old god who was satisfied with the golden million was here, and began to reminisce about the bittersweet memories like memoirs.

Li You, who was sitting opposite him, looked serious and talked eloquently, talking about the problem of private salt that Jin Million had been worried about for half his life.

"You have the status of exoneration, and the future of the surplus salt trade in your hands also lies with the royal family. But with this toss of Grandpa Jingguo, things may be going to make a big fuss, if this is the case, then someone must take the blame... But don't worry, you won't be convicted, and the 500,000 taels you repay can be regarded as the proceeds of trafficking in illicit salt over the years, and you should be exonerated from the crime. Even if there are some small punishments, it is similar to an official who has committed corruption of ink, and there must always be some punishment. ”

Jin Million waved his hand absentmindedly and said: "When you are old, this heart is also lazy, you can just tell the old man how to do it, it's all up to you." ”

Li You smiled and said, "It's very simple, you first go to the Prime Minister's Yamen to rectify the salt law and sue Ding Yun's envoy for coercing you to traffic in illicit salt in recent years..."
