The daughter's coquettishness at the dinner table interrupted the Lin couple's meditation.
Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai seriously: "Husband, you and I are a family. No matter what choice you make in the future. If the Lin family is rich and prosperous, I will suffer. If the Lin family is poor, I will suffer if the house is raided."
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then felt warm in his heart: "We are just a family at this time, and it doesn't matter what we have to say. As soon as King Beijing came here, he told me about the importance of the Lianghuai salt industry to the imperial court."
"The salt of the two Huaihe rivers is salty in the world.
Yangzhou is at the intersection of the canal and the Yangtze River, bordering the Yangtze River to the south and the Huanghuai River to the north. Starting from Yangzhou, it can traverse east and west, and run north and south. It is a water and land transportation hub with "a great collision between the north and the south, and a large number of department stores."
Moreover, Yangzhou is close to the largest sea salt production field in our country: the two large salt-producing areas south of the Huai River and north of the Huai River in Jiangsu Province. The salt from the two Huai salt fields takes advantage of the transportation convenience of Yangzhou to enter the Yangtze River and travel up the river to radiate and supply the entire south.
At its peak, more than 1.6 million taels of salt were transported and sold through Yangzhou every year (each tael weighed 200-400 kilograms of salt). One tael cost at least two taels of silver. The salt tax alone accounted for one year of our reign.
A quarter of the tax."
After hearing these words, the young woman was a little dumbfounded.
How much money should I have? How many medicines can I buy to replenish my daughter’s health?
Lin Ruhai continued: "As for me, the censor of Xunyan, although I am not a high-ranking official and am only in the seventh rank, as a censor, I have the power to hear the news and report things, and I can directly reach the heaven, so my authority is very important.
Min'er, think about it, it's said that being a prefect in three years will cost you one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. So Yangzhou's salt administration involves handling one million taels of silver in one year, will there be any problems?"
Jia Min nodded and agreed: "Husband, this money is enough to spend. The dowry I brought when I got married is enough for us to live a stable life. You don't have to do anything illegal.
How can there be an airtight wall in the world? If it is not discovered this year, will it never be discovered in the future?"
Lin Ruhai sighed: "According to the wishes of King Beijing, the accounts of the two Huaihe salt fields are currently in huge deficit. The most important reason is that they were used to receive the emperor during his tour of the south of the Yangtze River in the past few years. The rest were used to support the nine-border military expenditure, and they are all gone.
square."
Jia Min has also read a lot of books. After thinking for a while, he was suddenly shocked: "Wang Beijing, does he want you to turn a blind eye, close one eye, or participate directly and share the money?
This account is related to the heavy tax life of the imperial court. If it is discovered that King Beijing is the king of the opposite sex, he must support his own troops and be imprisoned at most. We are afraid that all of us will be executed lightly."
Lin Ruhai nodded and frowned: "Indeed, but if you report it directly, you will completely offend the Supreme Emperor, and we are afraid it will not be easy for us."
"Alas!" The couple looked at each other and began to sigh at the same time.
They are humble and humble, and if someone wants to crush them to death, it may be as easy as crushing an ant to death.
After a while, the two looked at each other and suddenly looked at their daughter.
How could they have thought so much in the past? I'm afraid it's too late to be happy now.
So what is the reason for changing all this?
Lin Daiyu blinked her eyes, quickly covered her rice bowl, and shouted anxiously: "There is nothing to eat, there is nothing to eat, Lele has already eaten more than half of my rice."
"Hahaha~" Lin Ruhai laughed, then stood up, came to her daughter, and rubbed her little head.
"Hmm~" Xiao Daiyu pursed her lips and hummed.
Regardless of her daughter's displeasure, Lin Ruhai looked at the leisurely blue eyes in her arms, leisurely and contented, as if the meaning of having a cat was to eat and sleep in the girl's arms.
After pondering for a while, Lin Ruhaidao bent down and bowed: "Le Immortal, now that our Lin family is in danger of life and death, please ask the Immortal for guidance!"
Although Lin Ruhai is a scholar, he doesn't talk about strange powers. But Jia Min was born in a big family, and he knows that there are many strange people, fairies and weird things in the world. Although he doesn't know whether it is true or not, he must have some abilities.
And after this cat came to his house, it not only could cure diseases, but also enlighten wisdom. Isn't this a fairy?
The little yellow cat's big eyes are a little confused. Are today's poop shovelers so lazy? Ask for help if they don't agree with each other?
Struggle, work hard, fight hard! Only then can he enjoy it happily!
Noticing the indifference and ruthlessness in Xiangrui's eyes, Lin Ruhai's heart sank. Indeed, finding someone to do things requires money and love. How can you just talk in vain if you let an elf do things?
Looking at this little yellow cat, Daiyu takes care of her all day long: bathing, combing, feeding, and massaging, Lin Ruhai understands clearly.
This is a lazy cat who likes little girls.
"Le Immortal, if you can help my Lin family get out of this difficulty, then from now on you will be the enshrined immortal of my Lin family. You will have endless incense every morning and evening, and Daiyu will be your protector fairy child. From now on, your will will be her action."
direction!"
Lin Ruhai promised that since ancient times, the marriage of a daughter's family has been ordered by the matchmaker. Besides, even if he doesn't agree now, her daughter is still fascinated by the cat.
Not a loss.
The little yellow cat blinked its eyes, lowered its head, got into Xiao Daiyu's arms, and slept.
I'm just a kitten that's just a few days old and I don't understand anything.
Lin Ruhai was surprised. According to the miscellaneous books he read, what these monsters need most is incense. And the incense offered by a high-ranking official like him is even more precious.
Could it be that this cat is really a true immortal and no longer needs such mundane things as incense?
Lin Ruhai suddenly realized when he noticed the little yellow cat's tail that was swiping restlessly and fighting against his daughter's little hands.
"Le Xianren, you live in poverty and live in peace, and you avoid the worldly world. You may not know that there are two wonders in Yangzhou: "Black gauze hat" and "embroidered shoes".
This black gauze hat refers to the emperor's permission that wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou can obtain official positions through donations.
It goes without saying that the embroidered shoes refer to women. Yangzhou girls have delicate skin, are graceful and affectionate, charming and charming. However, those unscrupulous Yangzhou profiteers trained some "Yangzhou skinny horses" for entertainment, which simply showed no regard for human nature.
Le Xianren, I feel that those skinny girls who are stuck in the mud urgently need you to save them from the fire and water.
Moreover, such great benevolence and righteousness, facing thousands of difficulties and dangers, and sacrificing yourself for others, I am afraid only an immortal like you can accomplish it."
Lin Ruhai's words were very solemn. Obviously, this matter is a big problem for ordinary people.
The little yellow cat looked up, dumbfounded.
He is indeed a scholar, open-minded and aboveboard. How could such a good person be put in danger?
After hesitating for a full breath, Miao Le reluctantly convinced himself, got out of Xiao Daiyu's chest, jumped onto his shoulders, and raised his paws.
"Meow!"
Just do it, as for other dangers, it doesn’t matter, I will take action!
Lin Ruhai raised the corner of his mouth and bent down again to bow: "Then I'll trouble Le Xianren!"
Jia Min stood respectfully aside and remained silent.
When men speak and do things, it is best for women to be like a vase. If they say the wrong thing, they will not only lose their own face.
"Daiyu, from now on Lexian Ren will be the one with the highest status in our family, and I will leave it to you to take care of me personally. You must listen to what the Xianxian says!" Lin Ruhai continued to give instructions.
Lin Daiyu, who was only five years old, was overjoyed when she thought about being able to play with Lele every day.
Daddy is so kind!
"Uh-huh!"
The little yellow cat fell into deep thought. This generation of poop shovelers seems a bit silly. Staying with her for a long time will not affect his IQ, right?
No, you have to strengthen her!
…
In the evening, after washing her feet, Xiao Daiyu got into the warm bed early and hugged Xueyan and Lele.
This was her usual habit. It was fine when there was sunshine during the day, but at night her hands and feet became cold and she had to hug Snow Goose to stay warm.
Naturally, it was impossible to sleep so early. Xiao Daiyu and Xue Yan petted the cats and each other, and started chatting when they were tired.
"Miss, is Lele really that powerful?" Xueyan stretched out her hand to pry away the restless meow's paws.
Xiao Daiyu tugged on the moving tail, but she was also confused: "Since dad said it, it must be powerful, but Xueyan, you can't tell anyone else, otherwise Lele won't protect you.
You see, my hands and feet are not cold now, and you won’t get sick in the future either.”
Xue Yan was stunned: "Lele can protect us from getting sick, that's really amazing. My parents died of illness, and they cried in pain."
Xiao Daiyu clung to Xueyan's arms and said with concern: "It's okay, we will have Lele in the future, and we will never get sick again. And, let me tell you secretly, Lele likes beautiful girls!"
Miao Le:???
Reaching out to cover the little yellow cat who was looking at her with wide eyes, Xiao Daiyu explained in a low voice: "Today I saw that my father told Lele to go to Yangzhou to save that Yangzhou thin horse, and his eyes were even bigger than they are now. Then we will
You two should work hard to look good, but don't let Lele be seduced."
Xue Yan was confused: "Miss, what is seduction?"
Xiao Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then fished for the little yellow cat, and said seriously: "Look, doesn't Lele like to lick her fingers? If someone else's girl's fingers are nice and sweet, just hook them up and lure Lele over.
Got it!"
"Oh~" Xueyan nodded, seemingly understanding.
The young lady is amazing and has read many books.
Miao Le:......
These two little girls actually slandered such a righteous little cat like him!
Come, let's practice in a dream!
Hehe, haha, practice with me, hehe, haha!
The two little girls who quickly fell asleep were chased all over the place by a super giant cat that covered the sky and the sun. In the end, they couldn't run any more, so they had to be put into various weird and embarrassing postures by the big yellow cat.
The next day, early in the morning.
"Ah, ah, Lele, I was wrong, my legs are broken!" With a cry, Xiao Daiyu woke up from her dream.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp~" The chirping of birds and insects in the distance sounded clearly in my ears.
I got up, only wearing undergarments, but not the slightest bit cold.
Xiao Daiyu looked outside through the window. The whole world was clear and bright, and a drop of dew trembled on the leaves and fell slowly.
"Pa~"
Xiao Daiyu raised her hands and put them in front of her eyes, squeezing them tightly, feeling powerful.
Looking at Lele who was sleeping soundly on Xueyan's head, Xiao Daiyu felt like she could hit ten!
If you can't beat a big cat in a dream, can you say that you can't beat a kitten in reality?
"Hey!" The little girl stepped forward and punched him seriously.
"Ah, Lele, I was wrong~"
…
Happy times are always short-lived. Within a few days, the Lin family became busy again and had to move to Yangzhou to take up their posts.
Servants and maids come and go all the time.
The seven aunts, eight aunts, and my mother's relatives came over one by one to give gifts and make friends in various ways.
For example, when you see the calligraphy and paintings on the wall or the potted plants at the door, you fall in love with them at a glance. Regardless of the value, you insist on paying thousands of taels of silver to buy them at a high price.
He also accidentally broke the tea cups and vases of the Lin family. They were centuries-old antiques and were worth tens of thousands of gold. Many people even came to pay off the debt, which was money owed to the ancestors of the Lin family.
The name of the gift was completely confusing to those people.
Among all the people, Xue Pan, who was from the Xue family, didn’t know whether it was sincerity or sincerity. He clearly put a price on the salt and wanted to buy it from Lin Ruhai, at ten times the market price!
Lin Ruhai naturally did not dare to agree. He was just a censor and had no right to trade.
These people are just trying to test him. Is he the kind of censor who can't stand the test?
Gifts of less than five taels of silver will be given in return of equal value. Gifts of more than five taels of silver will be rejected. Anyone who intentionally damages the Lin family's property will be compensated at the original price, and no extra points will be charged.
Everything is being prepared and completed in full swing.
At lunch that day, Lin Ruhai was smiling while picking up vegetables and tasting wine.
Jia Min asked curiously: "Husband, why are you so happy today?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Today, Wang Hai once again persuaded me to join their Lianghuai Salt Trade Alliance and serve as a guest minister, with a monthly salary of one thousand taels, but I rejected him directly!
You have been very kind to me, the Lin family, and the so-called drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. It is just a little money, but it is like dung to me."
Jia Min was stunned. She didn't expect that her husband would stand so decisively on Jinshang's side. The Supreme Emperor was still there, and he held military power and spoke out in court. Can their family withstand the power of the Supreme Emperor?
Lin Ruhai saw that his wife looked wrong and comforted him: "I am the censor of Yizhou. Before I find out their true and false facts and have enough evidence to wipe out their whole family, they will not dare to touch me. Otherwise, they will give me an excuse and completely destroy them."
Intervene.
Although those people are greedy, they are not stupid.
In addition, have you forgotten the Immortal? No matter how many doctors can't cure my daughter's disease, all he needs to do is hug him. This is the real power of the Immortal.
Some people want to deal with us, and if they poison us secretly, it will no longer work. With real swords and spears, it will be a serious crime to treason and kill the Nine Clan.
Who dares?"
Jia Min nodded thoughtfully.
"Hey, where is Daiyu?" Lin Ruhai asked curiously.
Jia Min smiled bitterly: "She was practicing in the room, and she said she wanted to protect us. Her little arms and legs should not be blown down by the wind."
Lin Ruhai frowned, thought about it and stopped caring.
These days when he was in bed with his wife, he could even feel the obvious changes in his body, and finally he no longer knew how to move.
Therefore, this Lexian has his own reasons for doing things.
As for what it would be like for a daughter to dance with knives and guns.
Just like what the lady said, how can Xiao Yu'er's small arms and legs be improved?
You can't lead troops to kill thieves like Fan Lihua of the Tang Dynasty, or be as strong as Overlord, can you carry a cauldron?
Is it your daughter’s house? It’s good to move around and keep your body healthy!
