In Yangzhou, a city that has developed by relying on the salt industry, the head of the salt industry: the news that Lin Ruhai is seriously ill cannot be concealed from anyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are dozens of officials and servants in the procuratorate who have been on errands in the office for generations. It was not difficult for the salt merchants of the princely of Fubi to know the current situation of the Lyric Chayuan. A large amount of silver was spilled, and even the illness of Lin Chayuan was clear.

That's it!

The power of the salt patrol is embodied in the following: supervising the salt transportation department. All the accounts of the Salt Transportation Division must be audited by the Salt Patrol Imperial History, and the officials of the Salt Transportation Division must be assessed by the Salt Patrol Imperial History.

Under such a mechanism, the salt patrol of Zhengqipin is the highest official of the salt industry system. The Salt Transportation Division gradually evolved into a technical and practical yamen that was only responsible for on-site production and external transportation.

Lin Ruhai is seriously ill, and the most important thing is actually the salt merchant group in Yangzhou.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the "open middle method" was realized, and the salt introduction method was exercised. In the forty-fifth year of Wanli, the salt law was reformed and the salt law was implemented. At this time, the dynasty followed the salt method of the Ming Dynasty. The salt merchants' nests were fixed. However, the replacement of the imperial history of the salt patrol is still enough to affect the interests of the salt merchants.

Salt merchant, who lives on the official salt in the Gang Salt Book? It relies on trafficking, buying and selling illicit salt.

Therefore, when Jia Lian, the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion in the capital, returned to Yangzhou with Lin Ruhai's daughter Lin Daiyu to visit the patient, the three major salt merchants in Yangzhou immediately got the news. It seems that in the pool water, there are slight waves.

The salt merchants who are concerned about the change of the imperial history of the salt patrol are more concerned about who will take over. And the Lin Chayuan is seriously ill, and it is bound to be impossible to issue new instructions. If it is sent, no one will execute it. Death to man!

In the same way, at about four o'clock in the afternoon of August 14, the 11th year of Yongzhi, when Jia Huan stood in front of the main gate of the Salt Imperial Inspectorate, which supervised and led the world's salt industry, the three major salt merchants in Yangzhou, large and small, learned the news in turn. But, no one cares.

What came was a young man, a world-famous young prodigy, Jia Huan. With the aura of a poet. He came to visit Lin Ruhai, the son-in-law of the Jia family.

However, the salt merchants would not have thought that at this time, the young man who was dragged out by the golden autumn sun and had a calm temperament would set off such turbulent waves in the salt industry!

…

Lin Ruhai lives at the back of the procuratorate. A courtyard of about a dozen rooms. Left and right layouts. There are gardens, rockeries, and ponds. Tranquil setting. The dynasty is honored on the left, and the dependents live in the houses on the left.

After handing over the gift to Lin Ruhai's old housekeeper Yuan Bo, Jia Huan went to meet Lin Ruhai under the leadership of a little maid.

At this time, Qingwen and Ruyi were already in the inner house to meet with the raiders and snow geese. Meet old people in a foreign land. Even if the relationship was not close in the past, it was still very happy. The sorrow that has been in the hearts of people for days has been diluted a lot.

Zijuan accompanied Lin Daiyu in the bedroom with Lin Ruhai.

After Jia Huan went in, he happened to meet him. There is also a beautiful concubine of Lin Ruhai in the house. In the seventh year of the Red Mansion, after Jia Min's death, Lin Ruhai did not marry again.

Jia Huan came in, and Lin Daiyu, who was sitting on a chair in front of the bed and weeping, stood up, which was a habit developed in Jiafuli. On formal occasions, when Jia Huan goes to the old lady, basically the sisters will get up and show respect. This is due to Jia Huan's status in Jia Province. Privately, of course, this is not the case.

Lin Ruhai is a beautiful man in his thirties, but the deadline is approaching, and his face is sallow. Lying on top of a beautiful bed, dying. A look of the last years of the wind and candles. Only his eyes were clear, indicating that he was sane at this time.

Jia Huan was dressed in a blue straight jacket, dressed as a scholar, and saluted, "Jia Huan has seen my uncle." ”

Lin Ruhai was born in Sanding Jiatanhua, and when he saw such a young lifter and his own relative, he smiled slightly. This is the youngest person to raise in the 150 years of the founding of the dynasty. Fang Wang, the great master of the literary world, broke the shackles of the imperial examination admission in the past and was admitted. Lin Ruhai's voice was weak when he spoke, "Ziyu is exempt." Yu Rong, give up your seat to Ziyu. ”

Serving on the side, about twenty years old, Jiangnan Jiali, who was slightly petite, brought Jia Huan a chair with red and swollen eyes and placed it diagonally opposite the bed, so that Jia Huan and Lin Ruhai could talk.

"Uncle Xie."

Lin Ruhai accurately called out Jia Huan's words. This made Jia Huan slightly surprised. It is estimated that Lin Ruhai learned his information from other channels.

Jia Huan greeted Lin Daiyu and sat down. Convey the concern and greetings of everyone in Jiafu to Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu.

Zijuan served tea to Jia Huan, "Third Master, please use tea." Looking at the third master sitting in the chair, her demeanor was calm and her expression was calm, and the gloom in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot during this time. It was as if sunlight was piercing through the thick clouds.

Second Master Lian, Second Master Bao, these two people are as smart as her, and they don't feel the slightest sense of stability and dependence. And in the third master's body, she felt a calm and powerful power, which was reassuring.

The words that the third master taught her: first, to reserve a silver ticket, and second, to plan for marriage events in advance. She told the girl. But the girl hasn't told Master Lin yet. Master Lin was seriously ill, and the girl's mind was already in turmoil.

Jia Huan and Lin Ruhai exchanged a few words and explained the situation, "I want to participate in the spring competition of the fourteenth year of Yongzhi, so I followed my teacher to Jinling to study. On the way, I had to pass through Yangzhou and came to visit my uncle. ”

Lin Ruhai chuckled and kept Jia Huan for a few days, "I'm sick and can't entertain Ziyu." However, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books. Yangzhou city is full of humanities. Ziyu can spend a few more days and appreciate the customs of Yangzhou. ”

Jia Huan excused himself and said, "Uncle Xie's kindness." Industry is good at diligence, and absurdity is frolic. The teacher has already taken up his post in Jinling. I wanted to visit the sand in the city and observe it, so I set off for Jinling. ”

He didn't plan to ask about the Lin family's family affairs and asset arrangements. He is not familiar with Lin Ruhai. And the style of Yangzhou, he doesn't plan to appreciate it for the time being. Reading first. With his age, it is actually a bit difficult to enjoy the customs in this fireworks land in Yangzhou.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Huan with a slight surprise.

Sha Observation is now Sha Sheng, the official of the Huaiyang Road Branch in Yangzhou City. The official residence of the Great Zhou Zhejiang Cheng announced that the political envoy right participated in politics from the three products, and guarded Huaiyang Road. Observation is an elegant name for Taoists.

It stands to reason that Yangzhou Mansion belongs to Nanzhili, and why Sha Sheng's official position is in Zhejiang Chengxuan Political Division. Because, with the official system of the national dynasty, the north and the south are reluctant to accept the announcement of the political envoy department and the criminal envoy department. Adopt the system of sending neighboring provinces. The north is located in Shandong, and the south of the Yangtze River is in Zhejiang.

Sha Sheng had already come to Jiangnan at the beginning of this year to take office. At that time, Lin Ruhai had not yet fallen ill, and of course he had met the top administrator in the city. He didn't know how Jia Huan could have anything to do with Sha Sheng.

Jia Huan explained: "Sha Guan has been taught by Beizhili. Befriending my teachers. I had the privilege of studying under the Shaguan Gate and called me Sir. ”

It turned out to be a friendship between teachers and students. Lin Ruhai knew it in his heart. He knew that Jia Huan's teacher was Zhang Anbo, a famous Confucian in the capital. The second uncle wrote back to him.

Lin Ruhai pondered for a while and said, "Since Ziyu has an old relationship with Sha Observation. Go and visit the sub-subordinates. However, the way of civil and military affairs is one by one. Don't be overly tight. In the city of Yangzhou, there are often gatherings of talented people and famous prostitutes in the south of the Yangtze River. Ziyu's poems are famous all over the world, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sha Watch is bound to let you attend the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry party to be held tomorrow night at the Wang's house, a big salt merchant in the city. I also have an invitation here, Ziyu can take it and go for me. ”

Lin Ruhai is a senior in the science field, and let Jia Huan "relax one by one", which is very reasonable and confident. Tanhua, who was the third place in the national imperial examination in the past, said that when it comes to reading, how can he not have confidence?

But Jia Huan did not consider this aspect. Lin Ruhai left him twice, and if he wanted to refuse, it would be a little unkind. Combined with Lin Ruhai's rhetoric, maybe Mr. Sha will really take him to the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting held in the salt merchant tomorrow night.

Jia Huan thought for a while and said, "Thank you uncle so much." ”

Lin Ruhai nodded lightly and told the concubine Yurong to get the invitation card. Then, he said tiredly: "Yu'er, entertain your cousin on my behalf." "End the first meeting with Jia Huan. To be continued.
