Chapter IX Lian Er's Suggestions

Chapter 9 Lian Er’s suggestion (please collect it!)

After waiting for more than a month, I finally waited for the other party to ship the goods.

In the past two days, famous doctors from Yangzhou have come in and out of the Yan Jingyao every day. Now there are rumors in the whole of Yangzhou that Lin Ruhai was seriously poisoned and would soon be killed.

The whole of Yangzhou is now in panic.

After breakfast, Butler Lin came to Lin Ruhai's study.

"Master, Master Cousin, news came from over there, there will be some movement tonight."

Jia Lian nodded: "It's not too late, I'll do it tonight."

Lin Ruhai nodded: "This time, I will catch them all in one place."

Jia Lian shook his head when he heard this and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry for my nephew's bluntly. This time, as long as you take down the Qian family, even if the task is completed, as for other salt merchants, you can catch a few of them."

"Oh? Why is this?" Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian interestingly.

"The salt inspector is to put it bluntly, he is an official, not a businessman. If all the salt merchants are taken down, it will not be a good thing for the people. This time, it is mainly to give them a warning to let them know that even if they reach the level of the Qian family, the court will take it down as long as they want. As for the Qian family, there will always be salt merchants who are dissatisfied with them, take down the Qian family, and then hand over the Qian family's share to other salt merchants, so that they can cooperate with their uncle's actions. As for the Qian family, everyone can work together, and no one can keep it." Jia Lian said.

"Oh? Then if it were you, how would you do it?" Lin Ruhai asked.

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "My nephew will take down the Qian family with thunder and give the Qian family illegal matters to the emperor. Then my uncle has many old friends in the capital, and he can also get a letter."

"As for other big salt merchants, they have big sticks and radishes, and they have to join forces to impeach the Qian family's illegal affairs. In short, don't give the people behind the Qian family time to act."

"As long as this matter is done, my uncle can jump out of the whirlpool of Yangzhou."

Jia Lian didn't say anything, this was just a way to make Lin Ruhai jump out of this vortex. As for the next salt inspector, if he had the strength and skills, he would naturally be able to protect Lin Ruhai's achievements. If he had poor skills, the salt merchants in Yangzhou would soon have another Qian family.

Lin Ruhai nodded with relief: "Okay, there are successors to Rong Mansion!"

"After taking the Qian family, I will immediately submit the book to the emperor, and I will also win letters from my old friends in Beijing. As for the salt merchants, you can do it. Just stay the obedient ones, and take the disobedient ones."

It has been a day or two for Lin Ruhai to jump out of the Yangzhou whirlpool. He has been sitting in the position of the Yangzhou Salt Censor for seven or eight years. His wife and only son have died. How could Lin Ruhai still be willing to stay?

However, the emperor did not agree to the secret letters repeatedly, which made Lin Ruhai a little helpless.

The position of the Yan Yan Censor, if you want to talk about it before, it was nothing but a lot of oil and water, and you held a little more money.

But now that the two days are in the sky, this place where millions of taels of silver is the top priority.

The Supreme Emperor wants money, and the Emperor also wants money. In addition, the salt merchants also have their own backgrounds, so the position of the Salt Censor has become a position for all parties to win over and fight.

Lin Ruhai has always been a royalist party. Whoever is the emperor listens to whom, but he is promoted by the Supreme Emperor.

Lin Ruhai's identity is the key to keeping him in office as the Yan Yan Censor.

The Royalist Party was promoted by the Emperor, and the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion of the Capital City. He was from the Lin family of Gusu and had four generations of ancestors. He was the second assistant of the former cabinet and had many friends. It can be said that Lin Ruhai's identity is much more beneficial than many officials in the capital.

Therefore, even if Lin Ruhai does something extraordinary now, it is not a big deal.

As for the Qian family, it is just a dog raised by noble people in the capital. Although it has some strength, it just scares people.

Thinking of the Supreme Emperor behind the Qian family, Lin Ruhai also frowned a little.

After abdicating, the Supreme Emperor became more and more foolish...

...

All day long, news from all over Yangzhou quickly rushed to Lin Ruhai's hands.

Jia Lian carefully selected and analyzed it. Qian Taiji's son Qian Yong is now the person in charge of the Qian family's private salt sales.

The reason why private salt is so difficult to ban is mainly because compared to official salt, it is expensive and mixed with a lot of mud and sand. Private salt is not only fair in price, but also much better quality than official salt. At least it won’t eat a mouthful of sand.

Capitalists have said that as long as I give me three times the profit, I can kill God.

This is how the salt merchants are. The profit of private salt is more than three times, which is why they would rather risk beheading them.

Smuggling is always done quietly at night.

But this time, hundreds of thousands of dan of private salt was difficult to hide completely even if it was done invisible, especially Lin Ruhai, who had been staring at the salt merchants.

At night, Lin Mansion.

"Lian'er, how are you prepared?"

"Don't worry, uncle, if it's all the salt merchants, then we may not be enough, but if we just take over the Qian family, this little person is enough." Jia Lian said confidently.

Not to mention anything else, it is just Jia Lian's force, and it is not difficult to destroy the Qian family by himself.

Is the red rabbit among horses and the Lu Bu among people? Are they fun?

"That's good. If you take down the Qian family, the salt management in Yangzhou will be stable for several years. I finally don't let down the trust of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor." Lin Ruhai said with a smile.

As for what Yangzhou salt business will look like in a few years, it has nothing to do with him.

As for banning private salt, it is impossible.

"After this incident is over, my uncle should be transferred back to the capital, right?" Jia Lian asked.

"It won't be so fast. It's always after the term of office is over. This is also the time for the emperor to select people. Otherwise, in a hurry, the emperor will not be able to find a suitable person to take over. In addition, the emperor will also choose a suitable position for me to free up. If he let me go to Beijing, he may not find a suitable position to arrange me. Half a year is also a buffer time for everyone." Lin Ruhai said.

Jia Lian thought about it and felt that it was true. His uncle had made great contributions this time and he would always have to be promoted.

"Since that's the case, when I was writing the memorial, I might as well talk about the two poisoned people. This matter is nothing shameful. We must always let everyone know how much the price and effort my uncle has paid for the salt affairs in Yangzhou. Otherwise, we will do the matter quietly, and those who don't know will think it's easy." Jia Lian smiled.

Lin Ruhai laughed in silence: "You..."
