And his relatives in the Rongguo Mansion!

The two million taels of silver that were spent in vain were all given to them!

In this way, you can't protect your own cabbage?

Lin Ruhai is not reluctant to Daiyu, the man should marry and the woman should marry, he has already prepared for this.

Even after presiding over the Jiangnan Salt Administration, he thought that if he died first, he was afraid that he would not be able to participate in the marriage of his daughter in the future.

But the reality is clearly even more bizarre than the script.

My own girl, who has seen men less than two times since she was a child, is still the daughter of a little girl, and she has just been sent to Beijing Chen for less than half a year, and she has a sweetheart!

Not only that, but they also threatened to marry him!

Liu Xianglian ......

Who the hell are you!

"Sir, there's a fat man who came to deliver the post."

"Ah Fu! Didn't I say that? None of them are seen!"

"Master, he said he came to the capital, you must be interested in taking a look!"

"Going to the capital?"

Could it be that the Jia family from Rongguo Mansion is here?

This relative of his own is here to send charcoal in the snow?

It's a pity that it's all a bunch of straw bales.

"Take the post and take a look!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ah Fu handed the vermilion post to Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai opened it, and his eyes almost popped out: "Liu Xianglian!!!

At this time, Liu Xianglian had no idea about Lin Ruhai's resentment.

When he came to Yangzhou, he did not go to his subordinates to negotiate, but avoided them and went to Xiaocui alone.

"Knock knock!"

Xiao Cui was embroidering when she heard the door ringing, and said helplessly, "Come in."

Liu Xianglian came in with a smile: "Xiaocui, how can you say that we are also old acquaintances, don't be so cold!"

"Young Master Liu, I heard that you are also a character now, but I didn't expect you to be so cheeky."

"I'm talking to old friends, renewing the old days, why are you cheeky?"

Xiao Cui stepped aside a little and said, "Sit down and say, you came to Yangzhou this time to help your good father?"

"You know that?"

"Heh, I know how many women you have around you. Liu Xianglian, I said, have you taken my young lady to heart? It's a shame that my young lady is obsessed with you, are you worthy of her?"

Zhen Keai is the first woman Liu Xianglian to come to "Red Mansion", I don't know why, Liu Xianglian is always full of confidence in this empathetic woman.

It seems that there is nothing difficult in her hands.

"How is Koai doing now?"

Xiao Cui glared at Liu Xianglian, suddenly her eyes turned red, and she cried, "How do I know, I haven't seen my young lady for two months!" You only know that you are in the capital all day long, Sister Bao for a while, Sister Lin for a while, Spring for a while, Spring for a while, and you don't let go of even the women in the palace.

I wonder what you've become!"

Liu Xianglian was stunned, although he did not deliberately conceal these behaviors, but being well known by a caring person thousands of miles away still made Liu Xianglian feel terrifying.

Xiaocui and the Zhen family have no ill will towards themselves, so what if they have malicious intentions?

For example, water signs, such as water Kunxi?

I am afraid that they see themselves more delicately.

"Huh!"

Xiao Cui sneered, "Now you know that you're afraid? You are an amorous seed, and you will be well with it in the future."

"Oh, thank you Sister Xiaocui for mentioning it, Sister Xiaocui is still as far-sighted as ever!"

Liu Xianglian saw that Xiao Cui was angry, and sent flattering words to Xiao Cui's side one after another, without repeating for half an hour, Xiao Cui's face finally eased.

"Sister Xiaocui, are you angry? As soon as this is over, I'll go to Keai immediately! What do you think of this?"

Xiao Cui restrained the smile on her face: "Go and find it."

Whether it's my young lady or not, no matter what, there has to be a result. Hmph, you don't have to be close to me in the future, just with these women around you now, my young lady will definitely not waste any feelings on you.

In the future, don't look for my young lady if you don't have anything to do."

Liu Xianglian sighed: "Your young lady is like a mist in the sky, perfect and unattainable. How dare I think wrong? It's just like-minded friends who have some heart-to-heart friends with each other." new

Being able to get the favor of Baochai and Daiyu, Liu Xianglian already feels that she is fortunate in her three lives, how can she dare to expect a heavenly lady like Zhen Keai to re-enter the Liu family?

He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to love him.

"Can men and women be friends?"

Xiao Cui's silver teeth clenched and asked, "Do you believe this? Even in your heart, believe it or not, the future husband of my young lady? If you really think about my young lady, I hope you can be more ruthless after meeting my young lady!

Women are soft-hearted, but this is not your reliance on doing evil and hurting other people's feelings."

Liu Xiang said angrily, "Xiaocui, thank you, I will be like this."

Liu Xianglian agreed, and Xiao Cui smiled: "With your words, I am relieved."

"Can you get down to business now?"

"Of course, in addition to the matter of my young lady, we are barely old acquaintances, and when we see that you are in trouble, it is also the right thing to lend a hand."

"How much do you know about Lin Ruhai?"

Liu Xianglian asked Xiaocui, Xiaocui didn't say it directly, but took out a booklet from her waist and handed it to Liu Xianglian.

"What is this?"

"As soon as you come to Jiangnan, our young lady will know what you want to do? Oh, this is the information you have collected about Jiangnan Salt Administration, you can see for yourself! If you don't have it, then you don't have to ask."

Liu Xianglian stroked the booklet with mixed feelings.

Could it be that he is wrong, Zhen Keai is his good match?

This thought is just a moment, it is fleeting, feelings are not a trade-off, that is a kind of can't help it.

Although Zhen Keai also has an indelible place in her heart, there is no doubt that Daiyu and Baochai also occupy a considerable position.

The best option is not to choose, just go with the flow.

Xiao Cui sat on the side drinking tea, and Liu Xianglian said strangely, "What, you don't have anything else?"

Xiaocui's face flushed: "I'm doing well in Jinling, and I was sent to Yangzhou by a letter from you, and Miss said, before you finish your own business, you asked me to stay by your side and watch you, serve you, and listen to you."

Liu Xianglian smiled: "I'm a big man, and I still use you to take care of and serve a little woman? Go and do your business, just ...... Hugh Mu, do whatever you want."

"You're generous, but Miss isn't here, and I can't get up where I go, so I'd better follow you."

"Whatever you want."

The intelligence collected by Zhen Keai for Liu Xianglian was very systematic, and he analyzed the predicament and problems that Lin Ruhai is facing today.

Liu Xianglian took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp!

"It's a game of death!"

Lin Ruhai, as the imperial court patrolling the salt imperial history, wants to return all the tax profits of the salt administration to the national treasury, this idea is correct.

But now, whether it is official salt or private salt, it has been controlled, and the most disgusting thing is that although these people themselves have made a lot of profits, they have also been paying huge donations to the imperial court.

Some people are going to ask, this is a good thing!

How can I say it's disgusting?

These general merchants, subcontractors, and large distributors who rely on official or private salt are too profitable, so even if they are given monopoly, they will not dare!

So, what's the solution?

One is to marry each other, form a network of interests, and become bigger and stronger.

The second is to find backers and share benefits.

The third is that as long as there are any fundraising activities in the imperial court,

The amount of donations immediately is staggering.

These, when Shui Kunxi was in power, the soldiers rose in all directions, and the soldiers rose in all directions, so these people have not been dealt with.

Second, the people are not prosperous, the war is in chaos, and the people are dying, which is almost an inevitable law of history.

Three, it was the lord of the world at that time, Shui Kunxi could collect the money as long as he was angry, and it was considered smooth, so he didn't consume too much.

When it comes to the water sign, everything is different.

Not to mention that only one Lin Ruhai was sent over, even if Shui Zheng came in person, it wouldn't be much better.

In the beginning, it was maintained.

The water levy wanted to raise donations, and these big salt merchants immediately took action and rushed to be the first.

But with natural disasters, frequent droughts and floods, and repeated fundraising, even these big salt merchants have their wealth squeezed out like water in a sponge.

Although the cash flow is still terrible, the people they support and the relationships they maintain are also terrifying.

Wealth cannot be hoarded, and the cost gradually increases.

The interests have reached a terrifying balance, and they will explode at the touch of a button!

So later, everyone simply didn't follow the rules, resisted the decree, and whoever dared to take care of it would be killed!

The emperor, after all, is just a person, not a saint who follows his word!

As long as the people below work together to work perfunctory, he is just a poor worm who goes with the flow.

And Lin Ruhai is just a stone throwing stones to ask for directions, not so much that Shui Zheng wants Lin Ruhai to clean up the salt government, it is better to say that Lin Ruhai is just an attitude of Shui Zheng.

"Xiaocui, I'm going back to sleep, do you want to be together?"

"Nonsense!"

Liu Xianglian said goodbye and was about to leave, but Xiaocui hurriedly followed: "My young lady can say, if I want me to follow you every step of the way, I will naturally follow you when you sleep."

"Oh? You're not afraid of me......

"If you really come, I can't help my young lady recognize a beast, and I'm worth it."

"You're so loyal, I'll follow you."

Liu Xianglian returned to her small courtyard, and the brothers of the south wind and the north wind stood at the door, and when they saw Liu Xianglian coming back unharmed, they turned around and went back to the room to rest.

I don't know if I went to sleep or went out, and the room was dark.

Hua Qing sat on the treetops, and when she saw Liu Xianglian and Xiao Cui following behind her, she gave a thumbs up: "Boss, cow beep, I wish you a traceless spring dream, I'm here to keep vigil for us!"

Liu Xianglian didn't look back, so she didn't know what Xiao Cui's expression was.

But now he really has a deep understanding of what Hua Qing really is: "What about the candles?"

"Boss, the candle is going to guard the field, you want our brothers to let go of their momentum today, it is equivalent to smashing the field, there will be local first-class masters to weigh our catties and taels at night, and only by holding on to it can we stand firm, you can go back and just tinker, there are brothers outside to settle the matter for the boss."
