In fact, if he hadn't reprimanded the eldest prince now, Jia Rong would have already prepared other means of appeasement, but he didn't need them right now.
Now, the trouble caused by the eldest prince has come to an end for the time being.
Jia Rong's thoughts quickly left it behind.
Time passes slowly, as the weather gradually gets colder, the dead leaves on the trees turn yellow, and the clothes on pedestrians on the road become thicker, it is late autumn in a blink of an eye.
That day at the Ethnology Office, Jia Rong received a letter from Yangzhou, written by Lin Ruhai, the Yangzhou salt inspector.
The content of the letter is very simple, that is, he has already set off to return to Beijing to prepare for his work report and will inform Jia Rong in advance.
Looking at the content of the letter, Jia Rong had a slight smile on his face.
Sure enough, after more than one year and nearly two years of operation, it is still very effective.
You know, although Lin Ruhai is the uncle of the Rong Mansion, he has no friendship with the Ning Mansion, and there was no correspondence between them in the past.
Now, the reason why I wrote to Jia Rong is also a sign of respect and intimacy.
If it were him, he would have acted this way, especially after knowing that the Yue family was in rapid decline and could not help.
Just because Chong Ning Mansion has taken control of Jia Clanology, it is worthy of Lin Ruhai's high regard.
After all, although the students from the Jia clan school who came to study and practice with him were not considered to be highly talented, they could still be regarded as beings with some abilities.
At least, it's enough to be able to help.
There are outstanding students from the Jia clan who serve as temporary workers, and the officials in the Yanxunshi Yamen, at least no matter how they join forces to do shady things, they can set a trap for Lin Ruhai.
In addition, Lin Ruhai's life safety was greatly protected by the personal protection of Wu Xiucai, who was trained in the Jia clan.
It's not an exaggeration at all. Who knows who the salt clerk in the yamen is from?
As for the rest of the guards around him, due to the family's initial decline and the fact that they were from the Wenxun family, there were not many that could really be used.
Once you encounter a desperate person like Salt Owl, your life is not in danger, but it is not easy to take him down.
Because of interests, the officialdom in Yangzhou was full of forces and people from all walks of life. It was simply a kaleidoscope. Lin Ruhai dared not trust anyone.
To be honest, the students sent by the Jia clan school did help him a lot.
A high-ranking local official with real power like Lin Ruhai really needs the capital to help respond.
Even just understanding the changes in the court and being able to deliver useful information in a timely manner is enough.
You can't, when someone is targeting you in the court, you don't even have anyone to help you speak?
If you really act like a solitary minister, you will definitely not end up well.
Even if you can't help speak in the court, you can always deliver the news as quickly as possible to avoid being caught off guard.
Obviously, the Yuejiarong Mansion cannot be counted on for the time being, and the Ning Mansion is a pretty good choice.
Jia Rong knew all this and was naturally happy for such a situation to occur.
Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing to report on her duties, but she was not sure whether she could change her official position?
It should be said that Lin Ruhai stayed in the official position of Salt Patrol Censor for almost three years, and his performance can be said to be quite good.
At least, the salt tax received every year has met the court's expectations. It is one of the main sources of revenue for the treasury, and he can definitely be regarded as a meritorious official.
Lin Daiyu should be almost five years old at this time.
Through the accounts of the tribal students who came back, Jia Rong knew that Lin Ruhai's son was also two years old at this time, and it was still some time before he died at the age of three.
To be honest, if Lin Ruhai was promoted due to his merit at this time, maybe his son would also be able to successfully survive his death.
No exaggeration at all!
The official position of salt inspector is too important.
The interests involved amount to tens of millions of taels every year, and hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels can be obtained with just a few moves.
If you are more courageous, you can easily make astonishing profits of millions of taels by joining forces with local salt merchants.
It can be said that Lin Ruhai has damaged the interests of many people and forces during his three years in office. If he does not escape in time, he may end up in a bad situation.
Think about it, for the benefit of nearly one million taels from the polo league, the eldest prince dared to take risks. What if it was replaced by millions of taels?
In the story of Red Mansions, I don’t know what Lin Ruhai thought or how he operated. In short, he survived and died in office.
Anyway, the end was quite miserable. The Lin family simply disappeared, or even disappeared altogether.
It can be said that the court and the royal family definitely owe something to Lin Ruhai.
Apart from anything else, at least the subsequent Salt Patrol Censor will never do too well, as long as he is passable, he cannot sacrifice his entire family or even his family just to serve the court and the royal family, right?
There are some things that really make me shudder when I think about them.
The old lady in Rong Mansion obviously took some action in dealing with Lin Daiyu. But it was a pity that all her thoughts were on the inner house, and she didn't understand what kind of involvement Lin Daiyu had.
At the moment, Lin Ruhai has two sons and a daughter, so he obviously doesn't think about sacrificing his family and being a pure minister.
In addition, Jia Rong is also very curious about what secrets Lin Ruhai has.
Those ethnic minority students who had rotated back from the south had only their own basic luck when they first came back.
It can only be said that they escaped in time. If they were still trapped in the whirlpool in Yangzhou, their lives would be in danger. It is not an exaggeration at all.
As a result, after I came back and stayed for a while, my luck all increased dramatically.
Naturally, the clan and the school also have their own status as a child, and they share the luck from the national destiny.
In this way, their luck is quite good.
Although none of them reached the level of red, the rich white color was still enough to make them much stronger than the general public.
But the problem is, they should have so much luck.
When we were in Yangzhou, we should still be able to distribute some of our luck from the Salt Patrol Yamen, which should be even stronger than now.
But the result turned out not to be the case. In addition to their natal luck, the extra increased luck almost disappeared. This is very strange.
Obviously, there is definitely something wrong with Lin Ruhai or Jia Min.
He had thought about whether Jia Min, like Qin Keqing, had a high level of luck, but needed to absorb the luck from her husband's family to replenish herself?
It's possible!
However, we have to wait until Lin Ruhai arrives in the capital and meet him in person to get a clear idea.
In addition, Lin Ruhai's existence is also a trump card for Ning Rong's second house.
Rongfu didn't seem to care much, but Jia Rong paid great attention to it.
After all, Lin Ruhai was a top-ranked official in the imperial examination, a veritable third-grade official, and if he went further, he would be a first-level existence in a feudal territory...
