Jia Huan made up his mind to calm down the rumors before leaving Yangzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jia Lian took Lin Daiyu back to Suzhou, back and forth, and it took more than a month to return to Jinling after selling the Lin family's ancestral property and land in Suzhou. He had plenty of time in Yangzhou to deal with the vicious and vile rumors that haunted him.

The first question in front of Jia Huan is: Who is the person who released the rumors?

As a modern person who has been bombarded by the information age, and has led the managers of the marketing and sales team, Jia Huan is clear about the doorway. He is not afraid of rumors, nor is he lacking in restraint, but he must find the right target and have a target.

Who is behind him?

On September 16, Jia Huan took Qian Huai and his head to the branch of the Provincial Office by boat. Sha Dashen Sha Sheng handled official business in the office. Master He has already told him about the reform of the salt law, and he is still hesitating.

Jia Huan and Sha Sheng met and said a few words. Ask Sha Sheng's new staff and Lin Ruhai's former chief staff He Yuanlong to inquire about the news.

He didn't understand the officialdom and the situation of the people in Yangzhou at all, and only people like He Yuanlong, who had been in Yangzhou officialdom for a long time, understood.

He Yuanlong entertained Jia Huan for tea in a wing room in the Yayi Gate of the Bureau, and after listening to Jia Huan's words, he muttered: "It's not surprising that the little officials and officials of the procuratorate arranged your words. Those people are cunning people. But these strange words spread so widely in Yangzhou City, and they were also mixed with slander against Lin Chayuan. That's a little weird. ”

Regarding Jia Huan's double gain, he actually had doubts in his heart, but at this time, it was impossible not to say it in front of Jia Huan.

Jia Huan said half defensively, half explained: "Uncle Lin donated Yangzhou City, which no one expected. However, there are no close branches in Aunt Lin's family, all of them are far branches, in order to leave Sister Lin at her grandmother's house outside the capital. The matter of family property cannot be left to the Lin family, but it is all owned by Sister Lin, which is what it should mean. ”

He Yuanlong nodded. That's for sure. It is impossible for himself and his ancestors to work hard, and the family property is given to the children of the distant branches of the clan, and it must be left to the daughter. The so-called distant branches, out of three generations and five suits, it is difficult to say how much blood and family affection there can be. There was nothing wrong with the choice of the Lamchayuan.

Jia Huan said again: "Besides, Uncle Lin died, shouldn't I come from Jinling to mourn?" It's just out of nowhere. There are even more vicious and unbearable words, saying that I have a leisurely concubine room with Uncle Lin, which is a bastard. Uncle Lin treats me as a national soldier, and I will repay him as a national soldier. This matter is related to Uncle Lin's reputation, and Master He is also invited to know everything and say everything. ”

Knowing how to repay this point is the bottom line of a person's life. There is a difference between man and beast after all!

Moreover, the farther a person wants to go from the bottom of society, and gratitude is indispensable.

Don't think that opportunities are reserved for talented people. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Talent is just one of the conditions. It also depends on the handling of interpersonal relationships.

He Yuanlong smiled bitterly, as if Jia Huan had misunderstood something, and said bluntly: "I am deeply favored by the Forestry Academy, and I will do my best to protect the reputation of the Forestry Academy." Just now, I'm just thinking about Ziyu's situation in Yangzhou, not slacking off. In my opinion, if this rumor is aimed at Ziyu, eighty percent of it was done by the Zheng family. ”

said, and said: "There are more than 300 salt merchants in Yangzhou, among which there are three major salt merchants, namely: Wang Heting, Zheng Yuanjian, and Ma Juntai. The Wang family and the Ma family both belonged to Hui merchants. The Zheng family was a Jin merchant. Ziyu made a big splash at the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in the West Garden of the Wang family, helping Wang Heting to become the first salt merchant in Yangzhou. The Zheng family is afraid that they have some opinions about you in their hearts. ”

Jia Huan was surprised, "He's a salt merchant, and he dares to spread rumors about me?" ”

This is not Jia Huan's pretense.

The social division of labor in the dynasty, the agriculture and industry of the country. Readers are number one. Scholars have a high social status and control public opinion. And the merchant has a low social status. As a businessman, it is unreasonable to openly slander a scholar who has made a name for himself and has become a member of the gentry class! You're welcome, don't you want to find it?

But there are always exceptions.

As a big salt merchant, the Zheng family had strong financial resources, donated an idle official to him, and opened a academy in Yangzhou City, handing over scholars and officials. In terms of its abundant financial resources, even the main hall of Jiangdu County, Shen Zhi County, has to buy some face for this wealthy businessman. From the Zheng family's point of view, what is it to splash some dirty water on Jia Huan, a passerby? Bagatelle.

But again, there are always exceptions.

Jia Huan's identity is different from ordinary lifters. It's not a matter of fame. Rather, he was a student of Dao Shasheng, the highest official position in Yangzhou's administrative system at this time. At the same time, he is also a protégé of Fang Wang, the Shangshu (Zheng Erpin) of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites.

To study a female star..., to change the word, to study a eunuch, you have to start with his godfather. To study a reader, start with his teacher.

In other words, the third brother of Huan is in Yangzhou, and he has a foundation and a background person in Jiangnan. It's not just about lifting people. You are a businessman, no matter how rich you are, you are still a businessman. Splashing dirty water like this, there is something wrong with IQ, right?

He Yuanlong gave the answer, "Zheng Yuanjian's eldest son, Zheng Wenzhi, is caressing and carefree, and does things lightly. It is said that he also swept Dong Weng's face at the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting that day. This person was looking for flowers and willows in Yangzhou a few years ago, and caused a turmoil in the boss. It has only been a year or two since it has converged. However, I have no evidence that Zheng Dashao did it. ”

Hearing this, Jia Huan made up his mind and said categorically: "No evidence is needed. Freedom of mind is sufficient. ”

Evidence or not, now let's find someone who is hostile. If yes, that's right! If not, there will always be a reward.

He Yuanlong was stunned by Jia Huan's new words, and he was free to testify, what is this? Immediately, the reaction was that it meant "no evidence, just opinions". With a knowing smile in his heart, he said: "It's about the reputation of the Lin Chayuan, if it is useful to get my place, Ziyu can just speak." ”

With a goal, Jia Huan's plan in his heart matured a little more, and he talked with He Yuanlong for a while, and then left the branch of the Provincial Bureau.

…

When I came out of the branch office, it was only about half past ten in the morning. The morning sun fell on the road in front of the office.

Although it is the largest government office in Yangzhou City. But the pro-people officials are government officials and county officials. Therefore, at this time, there were no people gathered outside the yamen, only officials who came and went.

Chang followed Qian Huai to Jia Huan's side and asked, "Third Master, where are we going now?" ”

Jia Huan came out of the branch of the Provincial Bureau, and was no longer in a state of blindness to the situation, and ordered: "Go to the mansion of Xiao You'an, a famous scholar in Yangzhou." ”

Although he had time to deal with the rumors in Yangzhou, he was in a hurry. The sooner you can suppress the rumors, the better. (To be continued.) )
