That day, Jia Qiong was studying with Jia Yucun and Lin Daiyu in the study.

"Gongzi Qiong, your level is indeed okay, no one of the same age is comparable, even if you are ten years older, there are few people who can match you, but there is still room for improvement in this problem-solving problem."

Hearing what Jia Yucun said, Jia Qiong couldn't help but sit upright, looked at him and said:

"Please also ask Mr. Jia for advice."

Seeing Jia Qiong's words, Jia Yucun had a faint sense of self-satisfaction on his face, and then smiled and said:

"However, although your broken topic is exquisite, this text is slightly flawed, such as.

。

。 ”

After listening to Jia Yucun's narration, Jia Qiong had to sigh that although he didn't like him as a person, he couldn't deny his talent.

This person can be a friend of learning, but not a friend of affairs.

Lin Daiyu, who was reading on the side, saw that Jia Qiong and Jia Yucun were chatting back and forth, so she couldn't help but cover her face with a book and secretly look at Jia Qiong, and when she saw Jia Qiong looking over, she secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Jia Qiong didn't smile, she was still a child in the end.

"Third Master Qiong, the master invites you to the front hall to have a banquet with him."

At this moment, the voice of inviting the moon came from outside the door, and several people hurriedly looked out of the door.

I saw that Ying Yue was wearing a small paddy field jacket with jade-colored, red, green and velvet satin, but she couldn't hide the majesty on her chest

Tied with a willow green sweat scarf, showing a slender waist, water red sprinkled pants underneath, and plump buttocks.

Three feet away from the door, looking at the crowd in the field.

Jia Qiong nodded, and wanted to turn around and say goodbye to Jia Yucun, but saw Jia Yucun's eyes flickering, and saw Jia Qiong looking at the square to stop the fluctuation and look at Jia Qiong.

Jia Qiong smiled in her heart, you are Xixi, how can you have this idea, and you haven't broken it.

After saying a few words to Jia Yucun, he went to meet Lin Ruhai with the invitation to the moon.

Looking at Ying Yue, who was leading the way, he couldn't help but feel restless and dry in his heart, and he and Jia Yucun were also fellow believers.

Uncle Lin's mansion should not have such thoughts, and he couldn't help but force himself to think of the old woman like a flower, and the idea of inviting the moon in his heart disappeared.

At dusk, the lights are on.

The largest restaurant in Yangzhou, Jia Qiong followed Lin Ruhai by carriage, slowly walked upstairs under the guidance of the little maid, and entered the private room, while Shi Dian shared the meal with the eight families downstairs.

I saw that there were many of the eight major salt merchants in the room, and they all got up and looked at Lin Ruhai.

I saw an old man in a green shirt walking forward slowly, and said with a smile: "Lord Lin is here, the old people are not welcome, please Haihan." ”

Seeing everyone's situation, Lin Ruhai didn't care, smiled and said:

"Elder Huang is polite, elders, it is not appropriate to run more when you are old, why don't you let your juniors come.

Like the Bao family, Bao Zhidao knew that he was old and inconvenient to move around, so he let the descendants come.

Which one of the Bao family is this, please help introduce one or two. ”

When the salt merchant saw Lin Ruhai say, he couldn't help but look at each other.

I don't know what the reason for Lin Ruhai's words is, not at all like the previous Confucianism and inner rigidity. There is no fluctuation in relying on the old and selling the old to others without doing anything, but it seems to have lowered himself to a junior.

At this moment, the young man of the Bao family stood up, asked his subordinates to greet the downstairs to serve the food, and then said slowly to Lin Ruhai: "The elders have been waiting for a long time, I think they are hungry, why don't we talk while eating." ”

Lin Ruhai looked at it and knew that this young man of the Bao family was specially arranged by everyone to make himself ugly, just to open his eyes for these old men, and after thinking about it, he said:

"What the Bao brothers said is that all the elders should sit down. We will eat and talk later, this happy house wine and food is delicious.

The last time I ate was when Ruhai had just taken up his post, and at that time I was also invited by you, and I hadn't seen the Bao brothers that day. ”

After speaking, he looked at Jia Qiong beside him and said with a smile

"Brother Qiong'er will eat more later, this is a place for a thousand meals."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Jia Qiong, and the young man of the Bao family couldn't help but stand up and say:

"This is Xiao Jia Gongzi from Shenjing, I am Bao Chen of the Bao family. I heard that you are talented and intelligent, and you are the youngest talent in thousands of years, and you are a few points more powerful than Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty. I'm also a talented person, and we'll have two drinks together later. ”

Hearing what Bao Chen said, Jia Qiong smiled and said:

"This time, I just came with my uncle to see the world, and although you elders are talking, it is inconvenient for you to think more about it with me. And I'm too young to drink. ”

After Jia Qiong finished speaking, he didn't know that this Bao Chen said again: "Brother Jia is polite, although he is still young, but with your physique, it should not be a problem."

I also heard that there are many of your maidservants, and I think she is a person who loves beauty, but it is a pity that Lord Lin is unwilling to eat in the courtyard downstairs, otherwise the Yangzhou thin horse in the courtyard is more interesting. ”

Jia Qiong refused with a smile on her face when she saw this, but she was secretly vigilant in her heart, it had only been a long time since these people had investigated themselves in detail, or they had already investigated at this time before last.

Now I say this, I just want to pull myself into the water, and I also test my interests.

When everyone in the audience saw Bao Chen and Jia Qiong chatting, they all looked at each other with a smile on their faces, and they were not surprised.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smile and interrupted:

"It just so happens that everyone is here, so let's talk about this year's salt introduction. Or use the method of opening the middle, the grain to the border army, and hold the border army to receive the post and sign the letter with the military department to exchange for salt. ”

The eight of them didn't expect Lin Ruhai to suddenly talk about this, they all changed their lazy appearance, and no longer paid attention to the small talk between Bao Chen and Jia Qiong, and looked at Lin Ruhai who was talking.

Hearing this, Bao Chen no longer paid attention to Jia Qiong, and looked at Lin Ruhai as well.

There was also a secret urgency in his heart, originally the eight families wanted to join forces to oppress Lin Ruhai. After a few families said yes, his grandfather did not come, and by the way, he let himself show his face in front of everyone.

It's just that I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to get benefits in the hands of these seven people, and this time I was pitted by these seven old immortals, maybe they have already talked about it.

Seeing this, Jia Qiong couldn't help nodding secretly, this is the benefit of having the right to have hole cards in his hand, he knows this truth, and today he understands more intuitively, he doesn't have any hole cards, and he will only be laughed at by everyone here.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Lin Ruhai to see how he could deal with it.

I saw Lin Ruhai look around at everyone, and then said:

"This year, the coast is windy, and the coastal residents are more like dragons absorbing water, according to the old farmer's estimate, there may be several more times in the next few months, and the salt yield of the stove households will be reduced by at least 20%."

And last year and at the beginning of the year, Shenjing, Baoding, Liaodong, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Fengyang reported floods and droughts.

Heavy winter snow in Yanqing, Beijing. Xianghe, Hebei, Xinghua in September. Dingxing, Xincheng, winter and December, rain and ice, tree branches are broken. Anxin, winter, heavy snow for ten years, flat land a few feet.

Qinghe, the winter is cold, the branches are frozen, and most of them are damaged. Henan City, Nanzhao, in October, peach blossoms bloom like spring, peony blooms dozens.

The court could not, so it had to seek taxes on our salt road.

The Cabinet and the six ministries strictly ordered that every river port should be set up with checkpoints this year, and large convoys must be supervised, and strict inspections will be carried out to crack down on illegal salt, and the salt introduction will not increase. ”

After speaking, seeing that there was silence in the audience, everyone looked at him, Lin Ruhai smiled, and picked up a piece of fish meat and gave it to Jia Qiong.

Then I put a piece in my mouth and ate it slowly.

After eating a few bites, seeing that everyone in the audience didn't move quickly, they just looked at themselves, and couldn't help but smile and said: "You elders have been waiting for a long time, thinking that you are hungry, let's eat first, and talk while eating." ”
