Lin Ruhai's full official title is the deputy envoy of the salt transportation envoy of the capital transfer, from the five grades, who is qualified to give orders to him, and only the envoy sitting in Linzhou can command him.

This grade is the same level as Jia Zheng, the second master of Rongguo Mansion. It's just that Jia Zheng has been a member of the Ministry of Labor for many years, and he doesn't seem to have moved, obviously people don't care about this official position.

And Lin Ruhai also has a first-class baron, which is a second-class title, although it is not as good as Jia Yu's first-class general, but it has more real power than him.

The reason for Emperor Xiaode's ediction is very sufficient.

Lin Ruhai was in office for less than a year, but not only sent tens of millions of gold and silver worth to the emperor to fill the private treasury, but also supplemented the national treasury with the salt tax that was not paid last year, which made the entire imperial court's finances much more generous at once.

As long as he is a minister who does practical things, he is all amazed by Lin Ruhai's methods.

Therefore, for Lin Ruhai's reward, none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty said anything against it.

Even those Metropolitan Inspectorates have nothing to say.

What's more, Emperor Xiaode has stabilized the situation after more than a year of operation and enough money in his hands.

Prince Yizhong, Prince Zhongchun and the four kings and eight princes and other forces have monopolized countless financial resources, but no one together makes much money, and many people have discussed it in private, saying that His Majesty has the atmosphere of a wise monarch and has a discerning eye, no wonder the emperor can choose him.

There are even more Jingzhong families privately discussing that so many people in the hands of Prince Yizhong and Prince Zhongchun are not comparable to what one person earns, no wonder they can't win the throne today.

What is the difference between him and Meng Weijun?

As we all know, Wang Anshi once commented on Meng Weijun, saying that he was full of chickens and dogs and thieves, no wonder he was in vain in the end.

Who said this, but no one can find out.

However, Lin Ruhai has the Sacred Heart, which can be seen.

As Lin Ruhai's wife, Jia Lian was nervous, and only felt that his own signboard seemed to be a little useless.

Rongguofu is very famous in Beijing, and with the name of Rongguofu, there is no one who dares not to give face, even if the case is conclusive, it can be turned over.

But Uncle Lin has only been in office for less than a year, but he has already achieved the first-class baron, which is Jane in the heart of the emperor.

And his cousin Lin Zhao is not very old, and he was also named the captain of the light car. The future is promising.

Will such a family let the old ladies and wives in the family get what they want?

"My nephew visits my uncle, I see my aunt. ”

Thinking of these things, Jia Lian paid a big salute to the worship.

The title of first-class baron, although he can't take it in front of the title of Duke Rongguo, it doesn't seem that Jia Lian can resist.

"Lian'er sit down, we haven't seen each other for many years. Jia Min was very happy to see his nephew, and hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.

Lian'er also often misses her aunt. Jia Lian said with a smile, and then said to Lin Ruhai: "Congratulations to my uncle for his great achievements, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and I also wish my uncle to enter the cabinet in the future." ”

He said to Lin Zhao again: "Cousin Shenwei, the foolish brother is far away in the capital, and he has heard of it, which is really amazing." ”

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Our Lin family is scarce, and my cousin is a relative, so the family came out to receive you together." Please don't mind my cousin. ”

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, and said busily: "Then naturally I don't mind." ”

Lin Zhao said: "That's good, people say, 'Waist around 100,000 runs, ride a crane down to Yangzhou', Yangzhou is a famous city in the world, flowers are like brocade, cousin may wish to visit more, look at this place in Yangzhou, compared with cousin's road, the scenery is more beautiful." ”

"Okay, okay. Jia Lian smiled on his lips, but sighed in his heart.

I went all the way to the mountains and rivers, and was known by the other party.

This is very clear, no matter what he says, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry, because he came slowly all the way.

It's even harder to talk about money.

In fact, Lin Zhao thought with his heels, and he also knew what Jia Lian wanted to do when he came to Yangzhou.

According to the urine nature of the Jia family, when he heard that Lin Ruhai had offered so much gold and silver to the emperor, he naturally wanted to get a piece of light.

However, Jia Lian is destined to return disappointed.

Because there are not a few taels of silver in the Lin family's official account.

The reason is simple.

Lin Ruhai engaged in a salt merchant, tossed such a big scene, and presented so much gold and silver to the emperor, so he was naturally noticed by the government and the opposition.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai at this time was stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and he was afraid that if he crossed the line, he would be pointed out by Qianfu.

At this moment, of course, Lin Ruhai has to protect his feathers.

However, this kind of thing does not need to be said by Lin Ruhai and Lin Zhao, it is most appropriate for Jia Min to say it.

Lin Zhao only needs to entertain him, and then take him around Yangzhou, and then ask Gu Haiquan, Han Wenchong and others to take him to Mingyufang to go around and drink flower wine.

After entertaining for more than a month, Jia Lian finally understood that he couldn't borrow money at all, so he set out on the way home.

In fact, although Jia Yu is the one who inherits the title of Rongguo Mansion, it is Jia Zheng and his wife who live in Rongxi Hall, and everyone in the mansion calls Jia Zheng "master", not "second master".

Therefore, Jia Lian, a dignified heir, is just a senior housekeeper who runs errands in Rongguo Mansion, although he spends a lot of money, but the financial power of the family is in the hands of the Wang family.

Therefore, Jia Lian is not deeply touched by the deficit of Rongguo Mansion at all.

Of course, everyone is happy when they borrow money, but if they can't borrow money, he Jia Lian doesn't care.

However, when he saw Jia Lian's boat slowly leaving the Yangzhou dock, Lin Zhao's brows immediately furrowed.

It seems that his own title is still a little lower, and he can't suppress the people in Rongguo Mansion.

Otherwise, how dare they send Jia Lian to borrow money?

Now they all look down on them like this, when the one in the palace in the future is promoted to a virtuous concubine by Emperor Xiaode, won't they be even more invincible?

Of course, sometimes knighthoods are not very useful.

His foundation is not solid, even if he has a higher title than the four kings and eight dukes, he will make clothes for others after all.

Only when you have the power of pouring the sky in your own hands will you make people jealous.

Of course, this is not visible to the gang of Rongguo Mansion who step on the low and praise the high.

But the size of the Great Zhou, how can it be compared to a small Rongguo Mansion?

Lin Zhao threw away these ideas, stood on the Yangzhou dock, swept around, and nodded with great satisfaction.

Big week freight, of course, waterways-based.

Yangzhou is a famous city in the world, rich in the world, with the help of salt merchants, so that the business here is very developed, so Yangzhou wharf is very busy,

After nearly a year of operation, Lin Zhao has gathered enough manpower to control Yangzhou Wharf.

The order of the wharf was rectified, and a new management system was planned and implemented.

All the floors of the pier are swept clean, and it looks neat.

The passenger ships and cargo ships, and even the vehicles receiving the goods are in orderly, busy but not chaotic, a busy scene.

This is all the result of Lin Zhao's operation.

In fact, with his means, it is extremely powerful that an empire can govern, not to mention a mere Yangzhou wharf?

Yangzhou Wharf alone can provide Lin Zhao with thousands of taels of silver every month, not to mention other industries opened up in Yangzhou City.

The reason why these industries make Lin Zhao rich is that Yangzhou has developed commerce.

Therefore, Lin Zhao was unwilling to destroy those Yangzhou salt merchants.

On the one hand, he can pick money from them, and on the other hand, he can make money from them, so it can be said that the Yangzhou salt merchant is his piggy bank, and he doesn't need to kill these guys at all?

But the development of commerce will bring other problems, Lin Zhao left the dock, returned to the salt patrol imperial history yamen, after dealing with some official business, ordered his subordinates, then changed into a rough clothes, put on a straw hat.

Yangzhou is also a water town, there are many people who eat rice on the water, and the habit of wearing straw hats to shade the sun is not only fishermen and sailors, but also many people on the shore have also learned.

He was dressed like this, if he hadn't come over to see it, no one would have seen that he was Lin Zhao, the son of the Lin family, but would have thought that this was a small guy, after all, there were not many people who had met Lin Zhao.

Walking out of the door, seeing that Li Long and several guards had also changed into the clothes of the domestic servants, Lin Zhao said in a low voice:

"Go to the back door, I'll go first, you don't have to follow too closely, scatter out, just see me, this is in broad daylight, anything can be reflected!"

Everyone bowed in unison, and Lin Zhao walked out.

The Salt Patrol Imperial History Yamen is located in Zhulinfang, and this is the best plot in Yangzhou City, with many shops and busy pedestrians, Lin Zhao saw a few men probing his brain after putting on makeup, but he didn't care too much about Lin Zhao, so he let him pass.

Lin Zhao has a bamboo basket hanging on his arm, it looks like a small guy who buys on the street, and the big family goes out to run errands, which is ordinary and can't be more ordinary, and no one will pay too much attention.

"Sanjiang groceries" is a large grocery store, up to the gentry and wealthy merchants in Yangzhou, down to the common people, all the goods needed, ordinary people come and go is very lively.

Lin Zhao entered the door, walked to the account room who was planning to make a deal, and asked politely:

"May I ask the shopkeeper, has the 'good food without alcohol' ordered by our house arrived? ”

The bookkeeper glanced up and asked nonchalantly:

"How much is it?"

"Not twenty taels of money. ”

"It's time to arrive, just in the back of the library, I'll call a guy to go with you to get it!"
