Chapter 763 Shocked and Begging for a Monthly Ticket
Chapter 763 Shock (please vote)
After coming out of Ning Mansion, Jia Rong turned around and rushed out to wave goodbye. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min couldn't calm down for a long time.
As for the two younger ones, Lin Daiyu and Lin Yu, they were already asleep.
"Ms. sir, I really didn't expect Brother Rong to have such a pattern!"
When the carriage left Ningrong Street and the noise outside came in, Jia Min sighed: "It's hard for him to think so carefully at such a young age!"
Last night, ever since her husband Lin Ruhai proposed to visit Ning Mansion, she had been puzzled.
It stands to reason that her husband's status and official position are much better than those of Brother Rong, who holds the title of third-rank general in the Ning Mansion.
Not to mention seniority, Brother Rong is the couple’s grandson!
When it comes to visiting, it should be Brother Rong who takes the initiative to visit!
But when she arrived at Ning Mansion today, what she saw and heard shocked her greatly, and she understood her husband's true intentions.
Because of the seniority relationship, when Brother Rong talked to her husband, he did not shy away from the fact that she also had Brother Rong's daughter-in-law Qin Keqing.
From the conversation, she was shocked to learn that it was Brother Rong who had proposed the salt-drying strategy that her husband had come up with before.
For this reason, my husband also took the initiative to express his sincere gratitude to Brother Rong.
At this time, Jia Min realized belatedly that her husband had taken the risk to come up with the method of drying salt, and even took the initiative to fight with Yangzhou salt merchants. The purpose was just to escape from the whirlpool of Yangzhou salt politics?
Her husband made it clear that if he didn't jump out in time, the whole family would probably be trapped in Yangzhou, which made her feel very chilled.
Although her husband and Brother Rong didn't explain much and didn't exchange much relevant information, Jia Min was smart enough to make a rough guess.
Combining the tragic fate of the previous Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censors and the bits and pieces of information heard in the backyard of the Salt Patrol Censor's Yamen, we can know that the official position of Salt Patrol Censor is quite dangerous.
If you think about it, you will understand. With huge interests involving tens of millions of taels of silver, how could there not be fierce competition?
Jia Min had not only heard about how rich those Yangzhou salt merchants were, but also saw it with her own eyes. It was no exaggeration to say that they were as rich as the enemy.
In order to show off or flex their muscles, it was not just one or two Yangzhou salt merchants who poured gold leaves directly into the Qiantang River.
If they didn't have enough strength and backing, would they dare to reveal their wealth like this?
Before Jia Min got married, the Rong Mansion was at its peak.
But we know how domineering those top powerful people are when making money.
It's really no joke that you can easily confiscate your family and exterminate a family by just randomly labeling someone.
As for her husband, Lin Ruhai, he had already held the official position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor for three full years.
She is not a housewife who knows nothing, she is very knowledgeable about officialdom.
Official positions such as Salt Patrol Censor were basically changed once a year. The purpose was to avoid collusion between officials and businessmen and damage to the interests of the court.
But according to what she knew, her husband had served as the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor for three years, but it was not over yet.
It makes me shudder to think about what will happen next.
Now she knows that if it hadn't been for Rong Geer's private suggestions and suggestions during her husband's last trip to Beijing to report on his work, her husband would have taken a huge risk to get rid of the salt issue. How could it be so easy to get away as easily as now?
No wonder her husband's attitude was not very satisfactory when he came to the palace to report on his duties.
My husband has made a big mistake and created quite a lot of trouble for the court.
It can be said that once the method of drying salt is introduced, it will be impossible to remedy it in the future. The entire Daqianhai territory is full of loopholes.
Those private salt dealers who want money rather than their lives will make a profit by drying salt on a beach somewhere if they get the chance.
Not only private salt dealers, but also local powerful people, as well as various miscellaneous forces, will not give up such a hugely profitable business easily.
By then, the court's salt policy will be greatly impacted, and the salt tax may drop off a cliff.
Should!
This is the true thought in Jia Min's heart. She wishes that the bigger the problem in Daqian, the better.
She now understood that her family had been killed before now, otherwise she would not have allowed her husband to be the Yangzhou Salt Inspector.
Jia Min is naturally not a good-tempered person. As the only legitimate daughter of the Duke's palace, how could she be too afraid of the majesty of the royal family?
Now that their whole family is about to die, why can't she just vent in her heart?
Just for this incident, Jia Min was very grateful to Brother Ning Furuong.
Just thinking about her children being harmed because of her husband's official position, her heart couldn't help but feel tight.
In addition, when her husband talked about the Jia clan's students, she also felt quite strange.
The Jia Clan Studies students who rotate every year seem to have helped my husband a lot.
Even the safety of the back house of the Salt Patrol Censor is due to the contributions of these ethnic studies students.
The name of the Jia family in the capital is still quite influential and intimidating in the Yangzhou area in the south of the Yangtze River.
Even Yangzhou salt merchants would not dare to easily target the outstanding students of Jia Clan School!
The backers behind them are indeed very powerful, and may even be Tianhuang nobles.
But it doesn't mean that they can easily provoke the top dignitaries in Beijing and cause trouble for their own family and the backers behind them.
Not to mention, according to the husband, the outstanding students who come to him from the Jia clan school are all quite capable and have helped a lot in handling government affairs and other miscellaneous matters.
It wasn't until Jia Rong introduced it in detail that Jia Min realized how far the Jia family clan science, which was not very impressive in her mind, had developed at this time.
There are students in their early 200s, and almost every year there are young students and scholars!
This is not only true in the literary examinations, but also in the martial arts examinations. Wu Xiucai is born every year, and he is quite famous in the entire circle of nobles in the capital.
It can be said that Jia clan studies have become the talent training base for the Jia family in the entire capital and the foundation for the future revitalization of the Jia family.
According to Brother Rong, the current Jia clan science has a good reputation in the capital. Without it, the Jia clan in the capital cannot fail.
This made Jia Min feel incredible. She not only looked at Rong Geer with admiration, but also had a little more respect for Brother Rong who had caused all this.
After all, Jia Min was also born in the Jia family in Beijing.
The better the clan develops, the happier she will naturally be, and she may even get some positive feedback.
Apart from anything else, if you live in the capital in the future, the issue of basic education for your children will fall on the clan school.
That's right, after Brother Rong's persuasion, Jia Min plans to live in the capital with her two children.
After listening to Brother Rong's explanation, she also knew that it was best for her husband to stay in the capital with her two children...
