Chapter 0331: Overlord
Gusu, Lin family.
The daughter's coquettishness at the dinner table interrupted the Lin family's contemplation.
Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai seriously: "Husband, you and I are a family, no matter what choices you make in the future. If the Lin family is rich and prosperous, I will suffer it, and I will suffer it if I am poor and rob the family."
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and his heart warmed: "At this time, we are a family, and there are some things to say, and it is nothing. As soon as the king of Beijing came, he told me about the importance of the salt industry in the imperial court."
"Two salts, the world is salty.
Yangzhou is located at the intersection of the canal and the Yangtze River, bordering the Yangtze River in the south and the Huanghuai River in the north.
Moreover, Yangzhou is close to the largest sea salt producing field in our country: two large salt-producing areas south of the Huai River and north of the Huai River in Jiangsu Province.
At the peak of its heyday, more than 1,600,000 taels of salt were transported and sold through Yangzhou every year (200-400 catties of salt per lead), and at least two taels of silver were obtained for one lead, and the salt tax (i.e., salt tax) alone accounted for a quarter of the annual tax revenue of our dynasty."
After hearing this, the young woman was a little stunned.
How much money should there be? How many medicines can I buy for my daughter's body?
Lin Ruhai continued: "As for me, the Imperial History of Salt Patrol, although the official is not big, and he is only the seventh grade, but as the Imperial History, he has the right to hear rumors and deeds, and he can go directly to the heavens, and his authority is extremely heavy.
Min'er, think about it, the so-called three years as a prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Then Yangzhou Salt Administration will involve a million taels of silver in a year, will there be no problems?"
Jia Min nodded and agreed, "Husband, this silver, just enough to spend." The dowry I brought with me is enough for us to live in peace and stability for the rest of our lives, and you can not do that thing as a female offender.
How can there be an impermeable wall in the world, and if it is not discovered this year, will it never be discovered in the future?"
Lin Ruhai sighed: "According to the intention of King Beijing, the accounts of the two Huai salt farms are now in great deficit, and the most important reason is that they were used to receive the emperor to tour the south of the Yangtze River a few years ago. The rest is for the military support of the Nine Sides, and it is all in a good way."
Jia Min had also read a lot of books, and after thinking about it for a while, he was suddenly shocked: "King Beijing means to let you open one eye and close one eye, or directly participate in it and share the money?"
This account is related to the lifeblood of the imperial court's heavy taxes, if it is discovered, the king of Beijing is the king of the opposite sex, and he has his own army, and at most one confinement, we are afraid that it will be light."
Lin Ruhai nodded, frowning: "Indeed, but if it is reported directly, it will completely offend the Emperor, and we are afraid that it will not be easy for us."
"Alas!" The husband and wife looked at each other and began to sigh at the same time.
To put it mildly, it may be as easy as pinching an ant to death.
After a while, the two looked at each other and suddenly looked at their daughter.
If it had been before, where would they have thought so much? I'm afraid it's too late to be happy now.
So what is the reason for all this?
Lin Daiyu blinked her eyes, hurriedly covered her rice bowl, and shouted anxiously: "There is nothing to eat, there is nothing to eat, Lele has already eaten more than half of my meal."
"Hahaha~" Lin Ruhai laughed, then got up, came to her daughter, and rubbed her little brain.
"Hmm~" Xiao Daiyu flattened her mouth and hummed.
Regardless of her daughter's unhappiness, Lin Ruhai looked at the leisurely blue eyes in her arms, leisurely, as if the meaning of a cat is to eat and sleep in the arms of a girl.
After pondering for a while, Lin Ruhai bent down and said, "Le Xianren, now that my Lin family is in danger of life and death, please ask the immortals for guidance!"
Although Lin Ruhai is a scholar, he is silent. But Jia Min was born to everyone, and he knows that there are many strange people and strange people in the world, and fairies and spirits. Although I don't know if it's true or not, I definitely have the ability.
And after this cat arrives at his house, it can not only cure diseases, but also enlighten wisdom, isn't this still an immortal?
The little yellow cat's big eyes are a little confused, are the current shovel officials so lazy? Ask for help if you don't agree with each other?
Struggle, hard work, hard work! So that he can enjoy it happily
Yes!
Noticing that Xiangrui's eyes were full of indifference and ruthlessness, Lin Ruhai's heart sank, indeed, this looking for someone to do things requires money, how can the elves do things in vain?
Looking at this little yellow cat all day long, Daiyu waited: bathing, combing, feeding, massage, Lin Ruhai knew it in his heart.
It's a lazy cat that likes little girls.
"Le Xianren, if you can help my Lin family get out of this difficulty, then in the future, you will be the worship immortal of my Lin family, and the incense will be endless every morning and evening, and Daiyu is your protector fairy, and your will will will be the direction of her actions in the future!"
Lin Ruhai promised that since ancient times, the wedding of his daughter's family has been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of her parents. Besides, even if he doesn't commit now, his daughter is fascinated by the cat.
No loss.
The little yellow cat blinked its eyes, lowered its head, got into Xiao Daiyu's arms, and slept.
I'm just a kitten just a few days old and I don't understand anything.
Lin Ruhai was surprised, as far as he knew from the miscellaneous books he had read, what this spirit needed most was incense offerings. And the incense offered by him, a court official, is even more precious.
Could it be that this cat is really a true immortal, and no longer needs such a mundane thing as incense?
Noticing the little yellow cat's restless tail sweeping around and fighting against his daughter's little hands, Lin Ruhai suddenly realized.
"Le Xianren, you are poor and happy, and you don't know if you don't get involved in the red dust. There are two wonders in Yangzhou: "black gauze hat" and "embroidered shoes".
This black gauze hat refers to the emperor's permission, and those wealthy merchants in Yangzhou can get officials through donations.
The embroidered shoes are self-evidently referring to the female color, the Yangzhou girl has delicate skin, slender and affectionate, charming and charming, and Chu Chu is moving. And those unscrupulous Yangzhou female businessmen trained some "Yangzhou thin horses" as a pastime, which was simply disregarded for human nature.
Le Xianren, I think those skinny horse girls with deep mud feet urgently need you to save them from fire and water.
Moreover, such a great benevolence and righteousness, a thousand difficulties and dangers, and a matter of sacrificing oneself for others, I am afraid that only an immortal like you can accomplish it."
Lin Ruhai's words were very solemn, obviously this matter is a big difficulty for ordinary people.
The little yellow cat looked up, dumbfounded.
is worthy of being a scholar, frank and open-minded, how can such a good person put him in danger?
After hesitating for a whole breath, Miao Le reluctantly persuaded himself to get out of Xiao Daiyu's chest, jumped to his shoulders, and raised his paws.
"Meow!"
You just do it, as for the other dangers, it doesn't matter, I will take action!
The corners of Lin Ruhai's mouth raised, and he bent down again: "Then it will trouble Le Xianren!"
Jia Min stood respectfully and solemnly on the side, silent.
Men talk and do things, women are better off being a vase, if they say the wrong thing, they will not only lose their face.
"Daiyu, in the future, the Le Immortal will be the highest status in our family, so I will leave it to you to take care of it personally, and you must listen to what the Immortal says!" Lin Ruhai continued to command.
Lin Daiyu, who was only five years old, was overjoyed when she thought of being able to play with Lele every day in the future.
Daddy is so nice!
"Uh-huh!"
The little yellow cat fell into deep thought, this year's shoveling of seems to be a little silly, staying with her for a long time will not affect her IQ, right?
No, we have to give her a boost!
At night, after washing her feet, Xiao Daiyu got into the warm quilt early and hugged Snow Goose and Lele.
This is her usual habit, it is good to have the sun during the day, but at night she has cold hands and feet, and she has to be hugged by the snow geese to warm up.
Naturally, I can't sleep so early, Xiao Daiyu and Snow Goose will touch the cat and cat for a while, touch each other, tickle, and start chatting when they are tired.
"Miss, is Lele really so powerful?" Snow Goose reached out to pull away its restless meow paws.
Xiao Daiyu tugged at her tail that was moving around, and she was also confused: "Since Daddy said it, it must be amazing, but, Snow Goose, you can't tell anyone else, otherwise Lele won't protect you."
。
You see, my hands and feet are not icy now, and you will not get sick in the future."
Xue Yan was stunned: "Lele can actually protect us from getting sick, that's really amazing." My father and mother died of illness, and they cried in pain."
Xiao Daiyu stuck to Xue Yan's arms and said with concern: "It's okay, there will be Lele in the future, and we will never get sick again." And, let me tell you secretly, Lele likes beautiful girls!"
Miangle: ???
Reaching out to cover the little yellow cat that was staring at him with wide eyes, Xiao Daiyu explained in a low voice: "Today I saw that my father said that Lele should go to Yangzhou to save that Yangzhou thin horse, and his eyes were even bigger than now. When the time comes, let's try to look good, but don't let Lele be seduced."
Snow Goose was puzzled: "Miss, what is seduction?"
Xiao Daiyu was stunned for a moment, fished it out for the little yellow cat, and said seriously, "Look, doesn't Lele like to lick his fingers? If other people's girls have beautiful fingers and sweet fingers, hook it, and lead Lele over!"
"Oh~" Snow Goose nodded as if she didn't understand.
Miss is just amazing, and she has read a lot of books.
Miaole: ......
These two little girls actually slandered him as a righteous kitten!
Come, let's go and practice in our dreams!
Hey, haha, practice with me, hum haha!
The two little girls who quickly fell asleep were chased by a super giant cat that covered the sky and the sun, and finally they couldn't run anymore, so they could only be put into all kinds of strange and embarrassing poses by the big yellow cat.
The next day, early in the morning.
"Ah, ah, Lele, I was wrong, my legs are broken!" With an exclamation, Xiao Daiyu woke up from her dream.
"Chirp, chirp, cluck~" The distant chirping of birds and insects sounded clearly in my ears.
got up, only wearing a belly obscene clothes, but there was no cold.
Xiao Daiyu looked out through the window, the whole world was clear, and a drop of dew trembled on the leaves and fell slowly.
"Smack~"
Xiao Daiyu raised her hands and put them in front of her eyes, squeezing them tightly, so she felt powerful.
Looking at Lele who was sleeping on the head of the snow goose, Xiao Daiyu felt that she could hit ten!
If you can't beat the big cat in your dreams, can't you beat the kitten in reality?
"Hey!" The little girl stepped forward with an arrow and punched seriously.
"Ah, Lele, I was wrong~"
Happy times are always short-lived, and within a few days, the Lin family was busy again and had to move their family to Yangzhou.
Servants and maids come and go endlessly.
Those seven aunts and eight aunts, as well as their mother's relatives, came over one by one to give gifts in various ways and climb relatives.
For example, when you see the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and the potted plants raised at the door, you will be in love at a glance, and no matter what the value is, you have to buy it at a high price of a few thousand taels of silver.
and accidentally broke the Lin family's tea cup and vase, not to mention a century-old antique, worth 10,000 gold. There are even many people who come to pay off the debt, which is the money owed to the ancestors of the Lin family.
The name of gift-giving is to completely make those people understand.
Among all the people, Xue Pan, who came from the Xue family, didn't know whether it was true or sincere, and he wanted to buy salt in Lin Ruhai's hands at a price ten times the market price!
Lin Ruhai naturally didn't dare to agree, he was just a royal history, but he didn't have the right to trade and buy.
These people are just trying to test him, is he the kind of imperial history who can't stand the test?
If the gift is less than five taels of silver, it will be given back at the same value, and all those who deliberately damage the property of the Lin family will be compensated according to the original price, and no more than one cent.
Everything is in full swing of preparation, done.
On this day, for lunch, Lin Ruhai smiled and tasted wine while picking up vegetables.
Jia Min was curious, "Husband, why are you so happy today?"
Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Today, that Wang Hai once again persuaded me to join their Lianghuai Salt Industry Business Alliance, what kind of guest secretary, I have a thousand taels of money per month, I directly rejected him!"
Now I have a great favor with my Lin family, and the so-called grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, and a little money is just like dung to me."
Jia Min was stunned, she didn't expect her husband to stand on Jinshang's side so decisively. The Emperor Taishang is still there, and he holds the military power, and he says nothing in the court, can their family withstand the power of the Taishang family?
Lin Ruhai saw that his wife's expression was wrong, and comforted: "I am the imperial history of Yizhou, until I find out their truth and have enough evidence to wipe them out, they will never dare to touch me, otherwise it will be an excuse to completely interfere with today."
Those people are greedy, but they are not stupid.
Also, did you forget about the Le Xianren? No matter how many doctors can't cure her daughter's illness, just hug him. This is the power of a true immortal.
Some people want to deal with us, and if they secretly poison us, it will no longer work, and if they really use a knife and a gun, it will be a great crime to plot against the nine clans.
Who would dare?"
Jia Min nodded thoughtfully.
"Hey, where's Daiyu?" Lin Ruhai asked curiously.
Jia Min smiled bitterly: "Practicing in the room, and said that she wants to protect us, her little arms and legs, just don't be blown down by the wind."
Lin Ruhai frowned, thought about it and stopped caring about it.
These days, he is with his wife in bed, and he can even feel obvious changes in his body, and finally he no longer knows how to lift.
Therefore, this Le Xian people have their own reasons for acting.
As for what a daughter's family looks like dancing with knives and guns.
Just like the lady said, what else can Xiao Yu'er's little arms and legs be like?
You can't lead troops to kill thieves like Fan Lihua of the Tang Dynasty, or like the overlord, you can carry the tripod, right?
Daughter's house, move and nourish your body!
Not a big problem!
