Lin Ruhai has a long figure and a thin body, but his bearing and demeanor still exist.

When he was young, he must have been a handsome guy.

Jia Huanbai said: "My nephew visited my uncle, and when I saw that my uncle was still in good spirits, my nephew was relieved." ”

This is Jia Huan's true words.

Lin Ruhai is the imperial history of Yangzhou Salt Patrol, what is this official position for? The main duty is to collect the salt tax.

The eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou pay a salt tax of 32 million taels of silver every year.

Before the reform, Daxia's finances were basically supported by the Jiangnan salt tax.

This shows the importance of this official position.

And because of this, this official position is also easy to be hated.

In particular, the people who hated him were the eight salt merchants.

The so-called money can make the devil grind, and the family property of the eight major salt merchants is all rich and rivals the country.

They want to murder someone, and they can't prevent it.

It can be seen from what happened to Lin Ruhai.

First, Lin Ruhai's son died, and then his wife Jia Min died of illness.

The only orphan girl was sent to the Jia family in the capital, if Lin Ruhai still kept her by her side, Lin Daiyu might not be able to live so old now.

As for Lin Ruhai himself, his health has not been good, and Jia Huan guessed that it was chronic poisoning.

Last time, Jia Huan asked Lin Daiyu to remind Lin Ruhai to change cooks frequently, and try to grow vegetables, chickens, ducks, and fish by himself.

Then Lin Ruhai actually lived to the present and looked good in spirit, which must be his suggestion and undoubtedly meritorious.

And Lin Ruhai was also looking at Jia Huan intently at this time.

Lin Ruhai first noticed Jia Huan from Lin Daiyu's family letter.

In the back, there are various poems and experiences such as Lianzhong Liuyuan, as well as miraculous deeds such as setting fire to the commander of the Jin State after that.

Including the magic mirror set on fire this time, the miraculous deeds of the surrender of the Southern Barbarians.

It refreshed Lin Ruhai's perception of him again and again.

And Jia Huan was so wicked, but it made Lin Ruhai hesitate.

Because Jia Huan's demon is certainly demonic, but he is too capable of tossing, and he may not be a good match for Yu'er.

This is the first time Lin Ruhai has seen Jia Huan, he looked at it for a long time, and found that Jia Huan was really extraordinary, and it didn't look like a short-lived appearance.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but say, "Brother Huan, sit down and talk." ”

Next, Lin Ruhai asked about Lin Daiyu's situation at Jia's house.

asked Jia Huan about his experience in the southwest battlefield again.

Jia Huan answered truthfully one by one.

Lin Ruhai took another test for Jia Huan's knowledge, as well as the way of dealing with the world.

After the school examination, Lin Ruhai couldn't help sighing.

This son is really a genius!

If it weren't for his son-in-law, he would be afraid that if he saw such a mixed gold and jade, he would have to accept him as a disciple.

And Jia Huan easily coped with Lin Ruhai's test, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Uncle, I know medical skills, why don't I check my uncle's body." ”

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "This is also your filial piety, so it's okay." ”

Next, Jia Huan began to check Lin Ruhai's body.

And as the examination deepened, Jia Huan's face began to become solemn.

As expected, Lin Ruhai was really poisoned.

And this poisoning situation greatly surprised Jia Huan's expectations.

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what's weird around your bedroom?" ”

"Has it been renovated in between? Or what's weird? ”

Hearing Jia Huan's inquiry, Lin Ruhai thought carefully and said, "There has never been." ”

Jia Huan asked again: "Uncle, are there any gems in your bedroom that will shine at night?" ”

Hearing this question, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but say, "How do you know? I do have a gemstone in my bedroom that glows green. ”

"This gem was given to me by a brother of my clan, is there anything wrong with this gem?"

Any questions?

It's a big problem!

In the next life, if you have gone to junior high school, you will not easily put your own glowing stone in the bedroom.

But fortunately, according to Jia Huan's inspection, Lin Ruhai's poisoning should not take more than five years.

In order to verify his inspection results, Jia Huan couldn't help asking, "Uncle, the time that this stone has been placed in your bedroom should not be more than five years, right?" ”

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Yes, it's only been more than four years, how do you know this?" ”

Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "Uncle, because this stone is the real culprit that caused your poisoning!" ”

That's right, Lin Ruhai was indeed poisoned.

But the poison he was poisoned by radiation.

The radiation source is a stone that emits green light.

Jia Huan is sure that people in this world must not understand what radiation is and what radioactive substances are.

But they may not have happened to know that prolonged exposure to this glowing stone can poison people and be difficult to treat.

Fortunately, the stone is not too radioactive.

As long as it is isolated at this time, after some serious treatment, it can be saved.

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Lin Ruhai looked complicated and let out a long sigh.

He smiled lightly and said, "People's hearts really can't stand up to consideration. ”

"My brother, although he has been separated by several generations, his bloodline is already weak. But weekdays are excellent for me. ”

"I even thought about succeeding one of his sons, but I never thought that he was trying to harm me."

"Things in this world are very boring."

Lin Ruhai's brother actually betrayed him, and it was quite a big blow to Lin Ruhai.

Jia Huan couldn't help but say to Lin Ruhai: "My uncle has tried his best for the sake of the court, but Jiangnan is not a good place after all, and he will lose it if he stays for a long time." ”

"Uncle was poisoned this time, I can delay the onset of it a little. It's just that he still needs to focus on recuperation, why don't he retreat and go to the capital? ”

"In this way, you can nourish your body, and secondly, you can reunite with Sister Lin's family. Can you also let Sister Lin show a little filial piety? ”

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Lin Ruhai pondered for a long time.

Lin Ruhai recalled that when he had just won the Tanhua, at that time, he was proud of the spring breeze and full of spirit.

Chong Kangdi summoned him alone in the upper study, and trusted him and entrusted him with important tasks.

At that time, Lin Ruhai promised this body to the country to repay the king's kindness.

For more than ten years, he has been sitting in Jiangnan and guarding the money bag of Jiangnan.

Sufficient salt taxes are collected on time every year.

Emperor Chongkang was able to stabilize the throne, and Lin Ruhai can be said to have contributed a lot.

And Lin Ruhai was in Jiangnan, first lost his son and then his wife, and even he was poisoned, and his body was worse day by day.

But Lin Ruhai has never wavered, and he is ready to die, and he will die in the position of patrolling the salt imperial history.

However, Jia Huan's exhortation just now moved Lin Ruhai with some words.

It actually shook his faith.

He opened his mouth and said: "Okay, I will listen to what you say, and when I turn around, I will give the emperor a fold, and pray to return to Beijing to recuperate." ”

Seeing Lin Ruhai agree, Jia Huan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "This is the best!" Uncle, I'll detoxify you first, and then leave you a recipe. ”

"When I return to Beijing, I will tell Sister Lin the good news, and Sister Lin will be happy."

Next, Jia Huan asked Lin Fu to prepare the materials used for detoxification.

After everything was ready, Jia Huan began to detoxify Lin Ruhai.

Of course, this detoxification is not a medicine to get rid of the disease, but a process of slowly getting better.

And Lin Ruhai's body is already weak, and this process will take more than a year to complete.

But fortunately, as long as the detoxification is done, Lin Ruhai's body can slowly recover.

Next, Jia Huan stayed in the Lin Mansion for three days, and after confirming that he had taught all the detoxification processes to the people of the Lin Mansion, Jia Huan said goodbye and left.

After all, he has a military order, so naturally it is not good to delay too much time.

Jia Huan sent someone to inform Xue Zhen and made an appointment to go on the road together.

Unexpectedly, when they left, the team grew again.

There is another family who wants to follow the Xue family to the capital.

It turned out that Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law, because of the decline of the family, couldn't go on, so she brought her daughter Xiuyan into Beijing to join Mrs. Xing.

When I walked to the halfway to anchor the boat, I met Li Kun's widowed aunt, with her two daughters - the daimyo Li Wen and the second name Li Qi, who also went to Beijing.

Everyone talked about it, and they were relatives again, so the two families walked all the way.

Coincidentally, when they were transferring ships in Suzhou, they happened to meet Xue Zhen.

Speaking of which, they are all relatives, and they are all related to the Jia family.

It's really a coincidence that his mother opened the door and arrived home.

So as soon as the three families were combined, they decided to enter Beijing together.

Jia Huan has met with the Xing family and the Li family, and there is no impatience.

Next, everyone took a boat and headed for the capital together.

More than ten days later, the ship arrived in the capital.

Jia Huan ordered the Xing family and Li Kun's widowed sister-in-law to be sent to Rongguo Mansion.

As for Xue Zhen, their Xue family was originally a wealthy businessman, so they naturally had a place to stay, so there was no need for Jia Huan to send someone to send it.

Jia Huan ordered Zhou Tong to lead the Red Flame Army back to the barracks, while he himself went straight to the imperial city to find Emperor Chongkang.

Not long after, Jia Huan entered the palace and met Emperor Chongkang in the upper study.

"The last general will pay a visit to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty for all blessings. This expedition to the southwest, the last general was fortunate not to be dishonored. ”

Emperor Chongkang walked over with a laugh, personally helped Jia Huan up and said, "Okay, good!" Sure enough, he is my champion! ”

"This time, the champion Hou is strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, and raising the prestige of my Great Xia Army! Solve my Great Xia crisis. ”

"Jia Aiqing is afraid that I don't know yet, when the Jin Kingdom and the Dayue Clan, after hearing Jia Aiqing's brave performance, they were all panicked and hurriedly asked me for peace in Daxia."

"Now that these two countries have signed a peace treaty with my Great Xia, all of this is due to Jia Aiqing!"

Hearing this, Jia Huan hurriedly said: "The last general is the champion of His Majesty's imperial pen, and the last general is only touched by His Majesty's blessings, so he is lucky to get these small contributions, and the last general does not dare to take credit." ”

Emperor Chongkang smiled and said, "How can I be the faint monarch who can't tolerate people? Jia Aiqing He Taiqian also? ”

"By the way, I'm really curious, I don't know how Jia Aiqing used the mirror to ignite the grain and grass of the Southern Barbarians, so that they would recognize you as their barbarian god of the Southern Barbarians?"

Jia Huan couldn't help but explain: "Your Majesty, its practical mirror igniting grain and grass is the way of nature, and it belongs to the study of learning from things. ”

"In the end, a large recessed mirror will be formed with a piece of mirror, and then this mirror will be used to reflect the sun's rays to a point."

"This point will heat up, and when the temperature rises to a certain degree, it will burn and ignite......"

As soon as Jia Huan explained this, suddenly a girl walked in from the outside and grinned: "Father, I know this truth." ”

"It's a reflection of light, concentrating countless rays of light at one point, where the temperature rises very quickly."

"Father, I have made a concave mirror by myself here, and I can do a simple experiment for my father."

This girl is Li Ling'er, the princess of Anle.

Jia Huan hurriedly saluted: "The last general will see Princess Anle." ”

Li Ling'er waved her hand and said, "Champion Hou doesn't have to be polite. ”

Emperor Chongkang asked Li Ling'er: "Ling'er, you mean that whoever holds this concave mirror can light the fire?" ”

Li Ling'er grinned and said, "Father, this is natural, Father, please come with me outside to have a try." ”

Emperor Chongkang really followed Li Ling'er outside.

Li Ling'er held a small self-made concave mirror in her hand and ordered a eunuch to put a piece of paper on the ground.

Li Linger adjusted the concave mirror in her hand, so that the refracted sunlight focused on the paper below.

In a short time, green smoke rose from the point of light, and soon the paper underneath was burning.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Chongkang was shocked and stunned.

Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but ask: "It turns out that this is the truth of learning from things, so why has no one found it before?" ”

Princess An Le grinned and said, "Father, this is probably because Gewu Zhizhi is not taken seriously. ”

"Maybe someone found out before? But because it is not taken seriously, it is not known by too many people. ”

"I think that there are many discoveries that can change the national economy and people's livelihood, and if they are promoted, they will definitely make people's lives more convenient and rich, and make my Great Xia stronger."

Emperor Chongkang asked suspiciously: "Ling'er, is it really as amazing as you say?" ”

Princess Changle nodded seriously and said, "Father, it's much more magical than I said!" ”

Emperor Chongkang nodded and said, "Since this is the case, you can promote it and try it." ”

"When the time comes, I'm afraid that more champions will emerge in my Great Xia!"

Hearing Emperor Chongkang's words, Jia Huan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Obviously, Emperor Chongkang did not attach much importance to natural science, and he did not realize what natural science could bring to Great Xia.

However, for a new discipline to be taken seriously, there must be an opportunity to make it happen.

Jia Huan is more concerned about another matter.

Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, on the way back, the last general happened to pass through Suzhou, so he went to Lord Lin Ruhai's mansion to pay respects. ”

"The last general slightly understood the way of Qi Huang, and it turned out that Lord Lin was actually poisoned. Its poison is extremely stubborn, and it needs to be recuperated slowly. ”

"And the Jiangnan Salt Administration Department is really not good, if Lord Lin continues to stay there, I am afraid that not only will his body not be able to recover, but it will become more and more serious."

Jia Huan shouldn't have said this, this remark was seriously out of line.

The underlying meaning of Jia Huan's words is that he wants the emperor to transfer Lin Ruhai back to the capital.

However, the transfer of officials is the responsibility of the prime minister, such as the emperor or the cabinet minister.

How can a military general in Jiahuan interfere with the transfer of local officials?

This is a taboo thing! (End of chapter)
