After all, Lin Ruhai, who is attracting the most attention at this time, is in the stage of debriefing.
Even if you have a rest, you should check into the official hotel as soon as possible. This is the rule in the officialdom.
Jia Rong was able to intercept him halfway and invite him for a drink because of the special relationship between Lin Ruhai and the Jia family.
If you meet a relative, you can't just turn a blind eye, right?
If this is really the case, it would be contrary to common sense and would attract even more attention.
Jia Rong knew this very well, and he also reminded them of the matter. The time was quite short, and outsiders had no idea what they said.
Watching Lin Ruhai, who looked normal, leaving in a hurry under the protection of the guards, Jia Rong, who was standing at the gate of Baoxia Inn, smiled lightly.
All that needs to be said has been said. As for the final choice of this person, it has nothing to do with Jia Rong.
There's only so much you can do within the rules.
On the other hand, the dazzling golden light of luck in the void above Lin Ruhai's head made him very surprised.
Considering this kind of luck, Lin Ruhai is at least the minister's order!
However, the dazzling golden light of luck is constantly being lost.
Even though luck keeps coming in, it can't resist the loss faster.
It is estimated that in less than ten years, Lin Ruhai's own luck will drop to a lower level.
I did some mental arithmetic, and it just matched the plot in The Story of the Red Chamber.
It can be said that Lin Ruhai's fortune is so great that not even the old lady in Rong Mansion can compare with her at this time.
I don’t know how much time has passed since his luck was quickly lost?
If it is as Jia Rong guessed, then Lin Ruhai's luck is at least cyan level, which corresponds to the destiny of a prince!
Yes, I hope he has good luck this time.
If we can escape the disaster of death, we will naturally meet Jia Min and Lin Daiyu in the future, and everything will be clear by then.
After seeing off Lin Ruhai, he did not leave Tongzhou in a hurry. Instead, accompanied by local powerful men, he inspected several areas that could be used as polo venues.
When he went out, it was under the guise of inspecting a new polo field, so naturally he would not be perfunctory.
In fact, the time has come for the Polo League to expand.
Of course, given the current traffic situation and other factors, the expansion of the Polo League can only be done step by step.
Tongzhou is a good place and an important node of the canal in the north.
The commerce and trade here is developed, the cargo throughput is huge, and there are a lot of rich people, and the relationship with the powerful people in the capital is very close.
On the broad surface, the suburbs of Beijing actually encompass the boundaries of Tongzhou.
Many of the estates of the capital's powerful people are located in the Tongzhou area.
Even in Ningfu, there are farms on the Tongzhou side, not far from the canal wharf.
Jia Rong saw by the way that there were nearly 100 tenants of 1,000 acres of fertile land, as well as various small workshops. Except for the need to purchase salt, the rest of the daily necessities were completely self-sufficient.
Of course, Jia Rong has seen more. As long as we make good use of the advantageous geographical location of this farm, it will not be a problem to turn it into a cornucopia.
The same is true. Tongzhou is the best choice for the expansion of the Polo League.
There is absolutely no problem in establishing one or two sub-fields here.
I saw that Jia Rong was not just perfunctory, he was very careful and conscientious during the inspection, and the local tyrants who accompanied him naturally had a very positive attitude.
They have long heard how profitable the polo league is.
It would be great if you could take part in it.
…
On the other side, Lin Ruhai entered the official post office.
As before, we still made do with the people escorting the tax bank.
However, his mood at this time could be said to be quite low, and of course nothing could be seen on the surface.
At Guanyi, he declined all visitors and sat alone in the room thinking quietly.
Jia Rong didn't communicate with him for long, but what he said made him very frightened.
He could swear to God that he had absolutely no intention of seeking credit or reward, but it was a pity that outsiders were unlikely to believe it.
In addition, Jia Rong also suggested that he immediately propose the idea of leaving the Yanxunyan Yushi Yamen after seeing today, which was somewhat difficult for him to accept.
It has to be said that after working in the Salt Patrol Yamen for three years, he felt that he did quite well.
Even if you quit, you should be promoted or eliminated from other important positions, rather than taking the initiative yourself.
This was in great conflict with the scholar-bureaucrat education he received.
It was just Jia Rong's warning that he had to consider.
If he had been sitting in the position of the Salt Patrol Censor and blocked the efforts of various forces to make money in the salt administration, it would probably have affected his family.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have a very good relationship, and they regard their children as treasures.
If something happened to a family member because of him, Lin Ruhai would naturally not accept it.
At the moment, he has no idea of becoming a pure minister.
As for the idea of "dedicate yourself to death", it's just a lip service. He doesn't have such a noble consciousness.
To be honest, Lin Ruhai was quite hesitant.
The main reason is that I have been a salt inspector for three years. Although I have encountered some troubles, it has not reached the point of life and death.
In addition, he definitely belongs to the smooth-running type in the officialdom. Basically, he has not experienced too many cruel things, and it is still difficult to estimate the dangers of people's hearts.
When I entered school at a young age, although I was looked down upon by my family, I was well clothed and well-fed and never worried about money.
After he was admitted to the top three universities, he was attracted by Zhao Zhao as his son-in-law by Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo.
In the early days of entering the officialdom, with the support of his father-in-law, Rong Guogong, and his own abilities, he quickly stood out from the Hanlin Academy and entered the royal censorship of the noble family.
And he was decentralized early and missed the changes in the capital. At this time, he was already in full swing.
Even though he lost the strong support of his father-in-law who passed away suddenly, he still made a few rounds in the local government and became a third-rank official three years ago.
At this time, he was only around forty!
It can be said that his official career has basically never encountered any major setbacks, which made Lin Ruhai very high-spirited.
In other words, he still retains the nobility of the literati.
I feel that as long as I do a good job, neither the emperor nor the present generation will turn a blind eye, and they should be reused.
The meaning revealed in Jia Rong's words was to take advantage of the current outstanding political achievements and propose a change of position when debriefing, so as to avoid being involved in the current battle with the emperor.
However, Lin Ruhai felt that the intensity of the current battle with the emperor was not so exaggerated. Anyway, he did not realize the danger involved.
So, naturally he was hesitant. After all, taking the initiative to offer a change of position to Jin Jin was a bit of an invitation for credit and reward, but Lin Ruhai didn't even bother to do so.
Besides, none of the civil servants he had applauded mentioned this matter, which made Lin Ruhai afraid to make a final decision...
