Chapter 4 The division of civil and military duties, and the different paths of the generals
Lin Ruhai looked at the prayer post in his hand, and couldn't help but hum softly:
"I was a little hesitant, you forced me to do this. It's just the right time to join forces with several to launch a new salt merchant. ”
When Jia Qiong heard this, she couldn't help but look at Lin Ruhai, thought for a while and said, "What my uncle means, is he going to eradicate a salt merchant?" ”
Lin Ruhai saw Jia Qiong following his words, thought about it for a while, and wanted to compare Jia Qiong, so he nodded and said:
"Yes, Brother Qiong has an opinion."
Listening to Lin Ruhai's words of inquiry, Jia Qiong said without thinking:
"I don't know what the specific family of this salt merchant is, and who is behind it. However, my uncle has been in charge of the salt patrol for some time, and he must have sorted out the doorways, and he also has some of their handles in his hands.
But my uncle is a salt inspector, but he is not the governor of Yangzhou, if it is dealt with, is the reason enough.
And the uncle said that it would be taboo to unite several companies to set up a new salt merchant. ”
Listening to Jia Qiong's question, Lin Ruhai nodded, and said in his heart, this Brother Qiong knows less information, and it is natural to save himself, but it is a little inconsistent with Wu Xun's temperament.
After thinking about it for a while, Fang said to Jia Qiong:
"Brother Qiong, there are eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou: Jiang Chun of the Jiang family, Huang Juntai of the Rhubarb family, Ma Yuecheng and Ma Yuelu of the Ma family, Cheng Zhiyi of the Cheng family, Wang Yinggeng of the Wang family, Huang Zhiyun of the Xiao Huang family, and Bao Zhidao of the Bao family.
The sins of every family are too many to mention, what fields are annexed, bullying men and women, and bribing the government are too much, so I guarantee that one will be checked accurately.
But Brother Qiong, you have a sentence that is very right, I am the imperial history of the salt patrol, not the mansion, and I can't interfere in these things.
However, their salt merchants are also quite guilty of selling salt, such as illegal salt in addition to salt introduction; The grain and grass of the Kaizhong method are not in place, or the grain and grass do not meet the regulations; Another example is to bully the stove households, buy them at a very low price, and then sell them at a high price, these can make trouble for them.
In the case of the large-scale sale of illicit salt, I can raid their homes.
It only needs to be reported to the imperial court afterwards, and it sells a large amount of illicit salt, which damages the national capital, and intends to rebel and so on.
Now that the treasury is empty, I only need to hand over most of the money to the treasury, and Your Majesty will naturally make this matter bigger and smaller, and it is even possible that the salt merchants will be beheaded. ”
Although he had heard a lot in his previous life, and he had seen a lot of various news on the Internet, he had not intuitively felt it, and today Lin Ruhai made up for him this lesson.
Listening to Lin Ruhai's cold words, Jia Qiong couldn't help but shudder, although she was eleven years old in this life, she was in her early forties in her heart.
But I really haven't seen a word that decides the life and death of a person, or the life and death of the whole family.
Although he understood what he meant, he still wanted to see what Lin Ruhai thought, thought about it, and said, "Please ask my uncle for advice." ”
Lin Ruhai looked at the respectful Jia Qiong, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said meaningfully:
"Hmph, every family, even a big family with a little money, must have a lot of blood debts in their hands, and there is nothing clean about it, as has been the case in all dynasties.
Those who are kind-hearted and clean have long been swallowed clean. Or if the offspring are a little clean, then the money of the ancestors will be bloody, or obtained by deception.
Even our Lin family and your Jia family are the same, Wuxun was born, and he killed as many people as a cow, otherwise how could he be rich now. ”
Looking at the thoughtful Jia Qiong, Lin Ruhai nodded with relief, after all, he was not a dead student, and then asked:
"Then do you know why the two governments and the nobles asked me to do this salt patrol imperial history, and even His Majesty didn't stop it?"
Looking at Lin Ruhai's gaze, Jia Qiong thought for a while, and then said:
"First of all, my uncle Wu Xun will not be overly rejected by Wenchen;
Secondly, although the salt is hugely profitable, the opening of China and France needs to transport grain for the border army, so the noble and non-noble military all need a martial artist to transfer the literature here;
Once again, the salt merchants were greedy, and the ministers were easy to be bribed, and they needed to be suppressed by the decisive martial arts. ”
Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing when he heard this, laughing so heartily, and after laughing, he said:
"Haha, that's good, so there are thousands of salt patrol soldiers under my jurisdiction in the Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion, which is not much worse than the ordinary guards.
Therefore, it is imminent for our martial arts to transfer texts, but there is no need to be in the same stream with these civil servants and corrupt Confucians.
There are few people who have the backbone of Wenchen, and Wuxun is the one who protects the family and the country. Except for the founding ministers, who are accustomed to killing, there are not many other ministers who can make us take a fancy to Wuxun.
They had never seen a blood-stained field, a horse-leather shroud. In their eyes, the soldiers are just numbers, and there are many greedy and corrupt people who are civilian.
As if we martial arts soldiers should do this, we should protect their family property for them.
We, the noble soldiers, are guarding our Taizheng and our nation.
They thought the soldiers were vulgar and unbearable, and they were high all day long. In fact, in the eyes of the soldiers, they are nothing.
In the future, if you are a civil and military warrior, you must remember this, and do not ask you to eat and live with the soldiers, but do not belittle them.
A group of guys who only know how to enjoy peace and make profits for their families.
It is reasonable for our martial artists to enjoy the shadow of our ancestors, and if we encounter a captive criminal, we still need our warriors to fight, but what are those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and why, you say yes. ”
Seeing that Jia Qiong was listening carefully as always, Lin Ruhai took a few sips of tea, and then said:
"Although I enjoy this privileged life, I, Lin Ruhai, will not deny what I said.
These civil servants are not ashamed of some of the martial arts, but it cannot be denied that the martial arts are the pillars of the country.
I am more inclined to use force against foreign races to mourn the killing order of the Heavenly King, just like the founding saint of Taisho, to me Taizheng, to me Chinese like a spring breeze. ”
When Jia Qiong heard this, he knew that Lin Ruhai was to guide him, so he cooperated with his blood, and in his previous life, he also imagined that if he was in the same era as the King of Martial Mourning, he would definitely kill all the people for the country.
Looking at Jia Qiong's complexion, Lin Ruhai slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the look in his eyes was clear, so he asked again:
"Brother Qiong, do you know why my Taizheng is named Zheng."
Suddenly hearing this question caught Jia Qiong a little off guard, and this question was very different from what she said before. After thinking about it, he said:
"It should be to govern the country with righteousness, fairness and justice, so that people will not have the idea of not suffering from widowhood but suffering from inequality."
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled, skipped a few breaths, nodded and said:
What Brother Qiong said meant a little. However, more importantly, it is the five strokes, which represent the Shinong, industrial and commercial soldiers, and the five strokes are of different lengths, but they are fixed.
Take the text as the sky and shepherd the Quartet; Take the military as the land, and set the country and the country; Take agriculture as the branch, harvest in autumn and store in winter; It is also the shortest industrial and commercial corridor, the corridor of the country.
At the beginning, there was also the meaning of the right domain and the other four directions, and the meaning of the right country, the right people, and the right world you said.
It's a pity that the world is impermanent, and there are always traitors. ”
After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he sighed, and Fang You said:
"You have to remember that our nobles can't fight these ministers, they just disdain it, and in the end, it's nothing more than blood splashed. I'm just afraid of being misunderstood by His Majesty.
Although there are more family members, when we meet foreign clans, we are absolutely right.
Do you know what I mean? ”
Listening to Lin Ruyang's profound and earth-like words, what else could Jia Qiong not understand, he just didn't understand scheming in his previous life, but Jia Zhu's guidance over the years, Shen Fu's teachings, and Lin Ruhai's words all made him understand these truths.
Lin Ruhai's meaning is nothing more than to make himself stand firm and always stand on the side of the nobles.
I think I remembered my previous poem that was both civil and military, and I was afraid that I would be biased from literature to Wenchen in the future.
framed himself with his family and country, and tied himself to the noble horse.
After thinking clearly, he got up and looked at Lin Ruhai, clasped his fists and bowed and saluted:
"Uncle Xie taught, and my nephew understood. I was born as a nobleman, so I should naturally serve the country in the future. ”
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that he had finally lived up to his words.
After being stunned for a long time, he said, "You first rest in the mansion for a few days, and then meet these salt merchants with me in three days." ”
