Chapter 160: Children
Since Jia Huishun and the salt merchants were choked to death, Lin Ruhai took the salt patrol imperial history yamen to start experimenting with the new salt method.
Those salt merchants and wall grasses who had not been in contact with the White Lotus Sect were also very cooperative, as if they were ruining their wealth and eliminating disasters, and let Lin Ruhai fiddle with them.
With the full cooperation of these salt merchants, the new salt law has been on the right track after passing the initial stage of small problems.
After nearly 10 months of trial implementation, the official salt produced by the new salt drying method has also become high-quality and inexpensive because of the reduction of the cost of salt production, and the price has dropped sharply, resulting in the complete loss of private salt.
Private salt has no way to live, and the sales of official salt have skyrocketed.
Not only that, but the policy of paying the tax first and then taking the salt has also made the salt tax collected in the past ten months much more than in previous years when the new law was not implemented.
It's about 30% more.
The people got benefits, the court got taxes, and it was a win-win situation!
As a result, the emperor also fulfilled his promise to Lin Ruhai and transferred him back to the temple and returned to the Jingguan sequence.
Jia Hui also inquired from the officials of the Ministry of Heavenly Affairs about the new official position given to Lin Ruhai by the emperor.
It is certain that the official of the fourth grade who was first awarded the Zhongxian doctor is certain, and then it is divided into two paths.
First, continue to be in the Lantai Temple, that is, the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, which happens to be vacant in the Imperial History of the Right Place, which is the official position of the fourth product.
Second, transfer to the household department, but the household department does not have the official position of the fourth grade, and then there is the waiter of the third grade, and they are all full, so I can only be wronged to be a five-grade Langzhong for a few years and then have more qualifications, and wait for the waiter of the household department or several other departments to be promoted or retired, and then let Lin Ruhai take the position.
If you choose to continue to be the imperial history, you will be able to directly become the fourth rank of the right and the imperial history, and become the third big man in the imperial history of the Great Qi.
However, the road ahead is also very clear, and the step-by-step promotion is to be promoted to the left and right deputy imperial envoys, and the right imperial history, so that they can be promoted to the head of the imperial history, and the left imperial history.
And if Lang Zhong, who chooses to be the fifth grade, is wronged for a few more years, he will save his qualifications and be directly promoted to the third grade, and then he will be eligible to compete for the position of Shangshu
Both roads have a bright future, it depends on how Lin Ruhai chooses.
Once again, he snatched the stack of sugar gourds full of sugar gourds from the old man who was wandering around on the street, and the old man was still pressed to the ground by the evil slave and kept struggling, so he could only watch the captain take out a yam egg from the stack with an arrogant face, and eat it with a wild smile in front of the dumbfounded old man
The old man could no longer bear the humiliation, and fell to the ground and began to cry.
The face of the bully who rode on a tall horse and laughed wildly was in stark contrast to the white-bearded old man who fell to the ground crying in exaggeration and sorrow, and was covered in rags.
What a picture of "Bully Bullying the Old Man and Weak Picture"!
And passers-by turned a blind eye to this scene, as if they were used to it.
Let's go!
A piece of broken silver was arrogantly thrown to the ground by the bully.
The old man stopped howling instantly, and hurriedly picked up the broken silver with a smile on his face, and rubbed it on his ragged shirt
"Captain, Captain, go slowly, Captain! Little old man will come back tomorrow! ”
"it!"
Almost every day, Taiwei and Old Man Tang have to come like this, and the surrounding vendors have become accustomed to it, and they don't even feel comfortable if they don't even look at it once a day.
As if he had won the victory and returned to the court, the captain appeared on Ningrong Street carrying a sugar gourd stack full of sugar gourds and yam eggs.
Soon, the children of the Jia family jumped out of all corners of the street cheering, Jia Hui hurriedly dismounted and let the soldiers help lead him, and he was happily carrying the sugar gourd stack, like the child king surrounded by the children in the middle, in a voice "Brother Hui!" "Uncle Hui! Lost himself in the soft and glutinous children's voice, and smirked and sent out an unknown number of sugar gourds
It didn't take long for the stacks of sugar gourds that were still full to become bald chickens, and there were less than ten scattered pieces left that were still inserted on the stacks
The soldiers followed the crowd from a distance, leading their horses on foot.
The general likes children, and almost every day he will order a whole stack of sugar gourds and yam eggs from the old man of Sugar Fu Ji, and then personally carry them into Ningrong Street to distribute them to the younger generations.
Even if there were children from other families and friends from the children of the Jia family who followed to ask for it, Taiwei never refused, but left about five or six roots, and the rest were all divided.
The younger generations also know the rules of the Taiwei, and when there are still five or six left on the stack, they don't ask for it, and they wipe the honey on their small mouths, and say auspicious words to the Taiwei with that clear and soft childish voice as if they don't want money, and make the Taiwei laugh.
Finally, he saluted politely and said goodbye, and in the tom sound of the captain patting his chest to promise that there would be tomorrow, he happily returned home with the sugar gourd in his hand.
The cubs gradually dispersed, and Jia Hui didn't have any greetings with the clansmen and walked towards Rongguo Mansion.
At the gate of Rongguo Mansion, a long line of convoys was parked there, unloading goods from the carriage non-stop.
Steward Lin, who was directing the servants to move things, glanced at a team of men and horses and hurriedly turned to look
"Oh, the little one is saying hello to the captain!"
The sharp-eyed housekeeper Lin immediately recognized Jia Hui, trotted all the way to Jia Hui five steps away, and knelt on the ground to greet Jia Hui.
"It's Steward Lin, hurry up, hurry up. Wow, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I've lost a lot of weight! Jia Hui was also a little surprised to see that Steward Lin, who was chubby and a little cute, and had a little trouble turning over when he fell to the ground, had almost lost a lot of weight now.
"Hehe, Tai Lieutenant, isn't the little one running around with the master, and he has exercised it" Steward Lin laughed.
"Well, it's good, you can go ahead, I'll go in." Jia Hui nodded, turned around and entered the Rongguo Mansion.
。。。。。。
As if nothing had happened in the second room of the big house before, Jia Yu and Mrs. Wang sat in the hall with a smile on their faces, looking at their brother-in-law Lin Ruhai, who was being booed by the two old ladies.
Jia Zheng was not there, and was sent by the Shangguan of the Ministry of Industry to repair a canal.
Jia Min, who was holding Lin Chengyu and Daiyu on the side, also looked at her husband who had been separated for several months tenderly, and had a stomach full of things to talk to him.
Everything was so peaceful
"Uncle Hunhui is here!"
The maid outside the door suddenly came in with a trembling voice, which frightened some people in their hearts, and the smiles on their faces were a little stiff.
The curtain of the door was lifted by the maid, and a big man wearing a black gold-woven uniform carrying a sugar gourd stack walked in laughing and stood in the hall.
"Hehehe, old lady, my grandson has said hello to you." Jia Hui bowed to the old lady with a smile, as if it was not him who forced the old lady to agree to divide the property before.
"Hehe, it's Brother Hui'er, hurry up" The old lady laughed stiffly a few times, and hurriedly beckoned Jia Hui to take his seat.
Jia Hui straightened up and didn't sit down immediately, first bowed to Mother Lin, Jia Yu and his wife, and Lin Ruhai before taking a seat.
The whole process ignored the expressionless Wang family with a black face.
Yingchun, Tanchun, Daiyu and Jia Cong and Jia Huan's five children walked out from the side and bowed to Jia Hui.
"Haha, get up, come, one for each person." Seeing Tanchun and Jia Huan, brothers and sisters who had not seen each other for a long time, Jia Hui also smiled and beckoned them to come over to receive sugar gourds
Cherish spring? Xichun was taken away by the You family and followed Jia Jing's coffin back to Jinling, and he hasn't seen him for a while.
Baoyu also went to school.
Tanchun glanced at Mrs. Wang cautiously, and when she saw Mrs. Wang's eyes without the slightest fluctuation, she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to pick it up
"If you want to eat it, go get it."
Outsiders are present, Mrs. Wang still has to take care of her reputation, it is rumored that she is brain-dead and broke with Jia Hui, the nephew of the powerful big house, it is enough to ruin her reputation, try not to spread any more rumors of abusing the concubine and concubine.
Tanchun, who heard his mother's words, breathed a sigh of relief, and took Jia Huan's hand, who was still a little scared, and walked towards Brother Hui.
What happened at home during this time, Tanchun understands. Although she thought that this matter was occupied by the big house, there was no way, they were a family
And since the division of production, the mother seems to have figured out something, no longer at home, and the hard days of their mothers and daughters have come
The spicy Aunt Zhao was cleaned up like a quail, and she and Aunt Zhou stood behind Mrs. Wang as if they were protecting the Dharma left and right, and they didn't even react to their two children being bullied by Mrs. Wang, just stood there silently.
"Thank you, big brother Hun." Carefully took the sugar gourd from Jia Hui's hand, and did not take a bite on the spot like other sisters, Tanchun hurriedly took Jia Huan and returned to Mrs. Wang, and then took a small bite and ate it.
Jia Hui glanced at Mrs. Wang and didn't say anything.
After all, these two sisters and brothers are Jia Zheng's children, and they recognize Mrs. Wang as their mother-in-law. The righteousness is all on Mrs. Wang, in case she scolds herself so badly, it will not be good for Mrs. Wang to kill the sister and brother on the spot after she goes back.
Let's talk about it when they get older
There was no longer a sugar gourd on the stack, so Jia Hui handed it to the maid standing beside her, and asked her to take it outside and hand it over to her own soldiers, who would naturally send the sugar gourd stack to the sugar blessing and return it to the old man
"Ahh
Xiao Yanei, who was lying in Li Kun's arms and was holding cucumber strips and gnawing on them, suddenly found that Mrs. Jia was sitting beside him, grinned, hurriedly threw away the cucumber strips, and immediately abandoned his mother, screaming with a toothless mouth, stretching out a pair of fleshy little hands to let Mrs. Jia hug
"Oh, Yu'er, do you miss your father?" Jia Hui hurriedly took Xiao Yanei from Li Kun's arms, held him in his arms and teased him a few times, and handed him to Jia Yu, who was looking at him and wanted to be close to his eldest grandson.
The maid on the side had the opportunity to bring the gaiwan tea to the table next to Jia Hui.
"Uncle has had a hard time, but it's hard." Jia Hui picked up the bowl and said politely to Lin Ruhai.
"Haha, all the way by carriage, what is the hard work, but the war in the southwest in the past two days, Jinyu, you are also busy and haggard" Lin Ruhai also stroked his beard and talked to Jia Hui politely.
"Hey, what's so hard about this, things have been prepared a long time ago, as long as the war starts over there, it will be transported from the Luoyang Military Bureau and Kunming to the front line, that is, it was a little hard when writing the paperwork, but it was all busy." Blowing into the bowl, Jia Hui smiled.
"That's good, that's good" Lin Ruhai was also a little worried when he heard the news of the invasion of the southwest and Donghu in the past two days, but when he saw Jia Hui's still relaxed smile, Lin Ruhai was also a lot more relieved.
"Uncle don't worry, although it is a pity to lose Lashio, after all, this was only taken from the Burmese decades ago, and now it is also a city with a large number of Burmese, Yun Shuai did not put this city into the defense line at that time, but only regarded it as a bridgehead for counterattack, not to mention." Jia Hui, who realized that he had talked a little too much, quickly closed his mouth.
I almost thought this was the Yingtai Hall of the county mansion
"Don't talk about this, uncle, have you heard how to arrange your official position in the future?" Jia Hui changed the subject.
"Naturally, I know, I just heard what the Holy Lord said when I went to the palace for an audience."
"Well, that's good, that uncle wants to go that way?" Taking a sip of tea beautifully, Jia Hui asked Lin Ruhai.
"Alas, I'm still hesitating, let me think about it again" Faced with two pros and cons, Lin Ruhai also made a difficulty.
Take the road of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a big road is wide and wide, as long as you follow the step-by-step walk.
Take the road of the six departments, the uncertainty is too great, there may be vacancies for the position of squire next year, or it may not be moved after seven or eight years, and the competition in the six departments is too fierce, not only the competition within their own department, but also from other departments
It's too rolly!
Thinking of this, although Lin Ruhai still said that he was thinking about it, he had already made a choice in his heart
。。。。。。
After that, it was the reception banquet, and Lin Ruhai finally saw the grown up Baoyu.
To be honest, the impression is not very good.
does have a good skin, but he always takes the time to make small movements with the maid standing aside, which reminds Lin Ruhai of the evaluation of Baoyu catching the rouge box when the second uncle visited Baoyu and caught Zhou - the hungry ghost in the color.
Back then, he thought that the second uncle was alarmist, what does a one-year-old child know? It's just a rouge box that I grabbed when I smelled good.
But now, Lin Ruhai feels that the judgment of the second uncle is very accurate!
That's not even ten years old, right? At the age of eight or nine, he is like this with a maid, so when he grows up, he will have it?
But fortunately, with Jia Hui present, the demon king of the mixed world such as Jia Baoyu also sat honestly in his seat like a quail, and only dared to make trouble with the maid. I didn't dare to leave the table to say a word to my cousin of the Lin family
Mother Lin and Jia Minniang, who had been living in Rongguo Mansion, finally waited for Lin Ruhai, and after refusing Mother Jia's stay in every possible way, the family finally lived in the Lin Mansion that had been prepared a long time ago.
On the 17th day of May in the seventh year of the Heavenly Sage, it was sunny.
3 p.m. sharp.
Several carriages depicting chrysanthemum coats of arms stopped in front of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army.
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
