The trouble of the Xue family has been solved, but the side of the Yamen of the Imperial History of the Salt Patrol has already turned the sky upside down.

A group of salt merchants gathered in the back hall, complained bitterly and tearfully, and told Lin Ruhai about their own difficulties.

There were more than 20 salt merchants, and 40,000 taels of silver were evenly distributed among their heads, and at most 2,000 pieces of silver.

With these people's net worth, they can take out 2,000 cash, but they just don't want to take it.

is similar to the situation of the Xue family, just because of this, Lin Ruhai turned into a fate with them, and none of the people present came out with five or six thousand taels of silver.

I thought that the matter would end here, but I didn't know that it had only been more than a month, and the apportionment task was pressed on my head again.

Although they have a great family and a great business, if they are allowed to be taken by the yamen, they will be defeated in a few times.

"Lord Lin, you always know the difficulties of all of you......

"In just half a month, we waited for another batch of military rations, and spent a lot of silver to exchange for salt!"

"You also know that the salt produced by the Transshipment Division is not enough now, and there is still a lot of salt in everyone's hands!"

The salt merchants took money to transport grain, and the imperial court issued salt quotations based on this, which was equivalent to money in exchange for permission to sell salt.

If you can't get the salt in time, it's a piece of paper in your hand.

In other words, these backlogs of salt are actually money owed by the imperial court to salt merchants.

Everyone was noisy and shouting, but Lin Ruhai didn't say a word, he had expected that the Salt Chamber of Commerce would be angry, and he couldn't do anything about it.

The more the audience talked, Lin Ruhai couldn't help coughing, he was also under a lot of pressure in the past two days, so that his condition worsened.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... I know the difficulties, but now ...... The Holy Decree that there is no turning around this matter......"

"The emperor's order cannot be violated, you ...... Be patient! ”

Lin Ruhai moved out of the emperor, how dare everyone refute directly, so a new round of grievances was started.

In short, in a word, everyone really has no money.

"My lord, I heard that the father-in-law of the celebrant has come to Yingtian, you have to tell him about our difficulties, so that he can tell the truth to the saint!"

Someone made a suggestion, but it was completely called a bad idea, and to complain to the celebrant was tantamount to going against the emperor's will.

Of course, anyway, it wasn't these salt merchants who said that Lin Ruhai had trouble with them.

This is a true portrayal of Lin Ruhai's work over the years.

He tried his best to divide and disintegrate, and did not let these people collude, so that Jinling Yanzheng was fruitful and became the money bag of His Majesty the Emperor.

But now, driven by interests, these people have come together again, which makes it difficult for Lin Ruhai to be coerced.

It is unrealistic to use force, just because the relationship behind these salt merchants is complicated, and some of them are also connected with officials in the DPRK and China, which affects the whole body.

Could it be that this imperial mission really can't be done? How do you explain to the emperor?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai was even more anxious, and in the midst of everyone's gossip, he fell directly to the ground.

"Lord Lin?"

"What's wrong with you......"

Seeing Lin Ruhai fainting, everyone hurriedly surrounded him.

This matter must be solved after all, and if it can't be solved, someone has to take the blame, who will carry the blame if Lin Ruhai faints.

"Go and get a doctor......

"Hurry up and ......"

Soon, the Lin Mansion entourage also rushed over and carried the pills with them.

After swallowing it with water, the Lin family's entourage carried him back to the official residence, and the doctor came to check the pulse and prick the needle, and then poured a few doses of decoction down.

After tossing back and forth for more than an hour, Lin Ruhai woke up, and his haggard appearance was like a candle in the wind.

"Master, the doctor said that you can't be too tired, you have to recuperate......" Aunt Liu advised.

Looking at the roof, Lin Ruhai said with a dying breath: "I don't know how to recuperate......

"Holy trust, how can I live up to it!"

Hearing this, Aunt Liu couldn't help complaining: "Since you brought Jinling, your body is not as good as ...... day by day."

"It is said that the emperor is long live and the emperor is trustworthy, but now that his body is broken, he has not seen you move the position......"

"The official rank has gone up, but it is still in the position of patrolling the salt imperial history, and those of your peers are ...... Some of them have made it to the squire! ”

Lin Ruhai has a gentle temper, so Aunt Liu dares to say this, and the latter is really good for her own man.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't speak, Aunt Liu was even bolder, and continued: "In my opinion...... Sir, you are just too honest, and you have suffered so many grievances over the years! ”

"Those difficulties in Jinling Yanzheng, you have to tell the emperor long live, and you have to let his old man know ......"

"Enough ......"

The lord is the lord after all, even if the breath is dying at the moment, a word can make Aunt Liu shut up.

"Don't say that again!"

Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't enter, Aunt Liu had to sigh, this was not the first time she had persuaded her.

In her opinion, since this official is doing so unpleasantly, it is better to resign directly and live a clean life.

At least have two sons with yourself first, and the family business also has an inheritance.

At this time, someone outside came to report: "Master, you should come to worship Lord Jia of the Heavenly Governor's Mansion!" ”

Aunt Liu knows Jia Yucun, after all, she has been a teacher in the house.

"The concubine has gone down, and if the master has something, you will command!" Aunt Liu was reluctant.

According to her meaning, Lin Ruhai should rest now, but looking at his eyes, he knew that this was an extravagant hope.

"Go for it......"

After Aunt Liu retreated, Lin Ruhai ordered the servants to lead the guests over, and Jia Yucun came to the room after a while.

"Brother Lin, what are you...... Alas! Jia Yucun looked concerned.

"It's the same old thing, you know!"

"You...... It's just too much work, it's time to rest! ”

Lin Ruhai was very tired at the moment, and he didn't actually want to speak, but he still replied: "There are many affairs in the Yazhong, I don't dare to rest!" ”

"If there is really a difficulty, the adults should also report it, the saint is broad-minded, and the world is ...... I will understand your difficulties in the future! ”

When he was a teacher in the Lin family, Jia Yucun was also Lin Ruhai's staff officer, and the two often discussed matters related to salt politics, so Jia Yucun was very aware of each other's difficulties.

Those salt merchants are as fine as monkeys, and it is not easy to deal with them.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't speak, Jia Yucun spoke again: "I heard that you were sick this time, and I brought two old ginseng plants to make up for you......"

"How ...... this"

"Brother Lin, don't shirk, it's just two mountain ginseng, if it weren't for my brother's support...... That's there today! ”

After saying this, Jia Yucun continued: "Brother Lin, there is a saying...... I don't know whether to talk about it! ”

"Brother Jia, but it's okay to say!" Lin Ruhai barely squeezed out a smile.

"It's been almost eight years since Brother Lin arrived to patrol the salt imperial history, right?"

"Exactly ......"

Jia Yucun continued: "According to my Ming practice, officials will be transferred in five years, and now that Brother Lin has been in office for half a year, he should also return to the ministry!" ”

Although Lin Ruhai's official rank is very high, if he can't get a higher substantive position, it will be no good at all in Jia Yucun's eyes.

Of course, persuading Lin Ruhai to return to the ministry, Jia Yucun had the idea of taking advantage of the situation.

Lin Ruhai also wanted to return to the ministry, but the emperor always praised him for doing a good job and never agreed to the normal rotation of the ministry.

"Brother Jia, this matter is not that simple!" Lin Ruhai sighed.

"Duzhong Rongguo Mansion, should you help?"

Jia Yucun has always been in a foreign position, and he is not very clear about the affairs of the capital, so he does not know the embarrassing situation of the Jia family.

Even if he seeks this Ying Tian Governor's Mansion for him, it is just a coincidence, not that the Jia family really has much energy.

So hearing his words, Lin Ruhai then sighed again.
