"Dog minion, when will you take care of the master's affairs! Bah! Jia Lian scolded with a smile, "I know that I'm afraid of being detained, what kind of tongue is the dog slave still sparing here?" Hurry up and get down, do these two things well, if you can't do it, be careful of your skin! ”

Jia Lian has always been a good character, and he doesn't like people to raise objections, and Lai Xing'er is just relying on being Jia Lian's henchman, so he just said a little more, and saw that Jia Lian was a little unhappy, so he hurriedly replied, and went out to do this thing, and after a while, he wrote two letters back, one was written to the eldest master, that is, Jia Lian's father Jia Yu; One is written to Jia Lian's wife, this wife refers to Jia Yu's younger siblings, Jia Zheng's wife, Jia Lian's aunt Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang and Xue Pan's mother are all compatriots with Wang Ziteng's mother, and the feelings are quite deep. 23 Mrs. Wang is the serious housewife of Rongguo Mansion, why can the second son and daughter-in-law be the housewife, instead of Jia Lian's mother to be the housewife, this is another matter, and there is no need to talk about it at this time.

He read the letter, so he called it out, and came to Xing'er to report again, "When the little one went out just now, I saw Uncle Xue go to my aunt's yard." ”

"He should also go and report this matter," Jia Lian pondered, "There are two people in this Jinling Province who are saints, and this section should be seen more." ”

"Uncle Xue is also powerful," Lai Xing'er poured a cup of tea for Jia Lian, "The salt merchants outside are almost as good as our subordinates." ”

"Huh? Salt merchants? Plague avoidance? ”

Xue Pan went to Lin Ruhai's study and told Lin Ruhai about the prince's ascension, and Lin Ruhai was also very happy, "Brother Long Qing is among our attendants, Yunwen Yunwu, the most talented, but I didn't expect that Brother Zhen and I have been released, but he is still in the capital, too, his strategy is quite deep, and he is bold, unlike us literati." ”

Xue Pan was still a little worried when Jia Lian said this, "According to Shibo, is there any obstacle to the war in the southwest?" If my uncle doesn't succeed this time, I'm afraid this errand will not be long in coming. ”

"All errands are always risky, Brother Longqing is in military affairs, and he must be worry-free," Lin Ruhai said, "The new army just didn't send the main force, the southwest terrain is treacherous, Shangri-La is relying on this natural danger to block, before the lack of silver, logistics and military supplies are not enough, so the blockade is successful, now the autumn wind has risen, the autumn grain has been put into the warehouse, we have raised so much silver here, it must be enough to use." ”

Also, Xue Pan nodded, why bother with Zhongnanhai's leisure at this time? I can't help these by myself, "What Shibo said is very true, I am not Han Xin Zhuge Liang, and I don't understand military affairs, so I can't come up with any ideas, I can't pick up my shoulders, and I can't carry my waist." ”

Lin Ruhai asked Xue Pan, "Jia Lian came here, what did he tell you?" But what's so hard for you? ”

Xue Pan smiled, "What can happen?" It's just asking me for some salt. ”

Lin Ruhai frowned, "My wife's nephew, is very talented, but he seems to love money too much, if there is any interest, he is in a hurry to do it, he has written a lot of letters to me before, asking me to help with the work, but the relatives are really but, Mrs. also loved this nephew deeply in the past, and I can't say how much I have to take care of it, this time, I know that he must want to do salt introduction, how much did you give?" ”

"It's just one hundred and fifty," Xue Pan said with a smile, "It's not worth anything, I didn't give it to him, I want to receive fifteen thousand taels of silver, why should Shibo be like this, young man, it's common to love some money, it's just that I also love silver the most, second brother, he knows that Shibo is in a bad mood, don't bother Shibo with these mundane things, this is already very good." ”

Lin Ruhai nodded, and shook his head again, "That's it, it's just that I wronged you, this matter has nothing to do with you, but I want you to show favors, but even if you are a relative, I have to say one more sentence, there is nothing to do, it has to be in vain," he took an envelope from the drawer under the bookcase and handed it to Xue Pan, "This is for you." ”

Xue Pan took the envelope and opened it, and stood up suddenly, "This, what does Shibo mean?" ”

"The first fifteen hundred salt quotations here," Lin Ruhai said with a smile, "It's all for you." ”

This time, the average price of the auction of salt quotations is basically the price of three thousand to four thousand, and the one thousand and five hundred salt quotations here are four or five million silver, Xue Pan lowered his head and looked at it carefully, this is still sent to the southwest and northwest of the salt quotation, this price is even higher, at least seven or eight million silver, Rao is Xue Pan is not a person without money, and he was also shocked by Lin Ruhai's generosity, "This, Lord Shibo, why did you give me this?" Given for nothing? ”

Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile, and Xue Pan hurriedly shook his hand and pushed it away, "How dare you do this?" Although I have a little credit, I don't dare to accept such a great gift, I have already taken 800 salt guides, this is enough, I know the severity, but I will not be greedy. ”

Greedy and chewy, Xue Pan knows this truth, how much ability he has, how much food he eats, these eight hundred pieces of salt, except for the one hundred and fifty pieces given to Jia Lian, the remaining six hundred and fifty sheets, as long as it is managed properly, and the land snake of Jinling Mansion is mixed together, the silver is not to worry, the main purpose of his visit this time is not to make money, it is enough to have some income, "Shibo still takes it out to bid, and it is another amount of money here." ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "I have already prepared, if the salt introduction reform faction can be successful this time, 1,500 salt quotations will be rewarded to the most meritorious people, and if you don't take it out and sell it, not only me, but the saint also understands this, if you want the horse to run, you have to give forage." This time nearly 20,000 silver was collected, and the embarrassment of the court was lifted at once, the war in the southwest, I dare not talk about anything else, this silver will never be enough, the danger of that day, the old man will not say it anymore, you and I both know, if you don't launch it over there, even if I am tough, I will be trapped to death by them, I would have already played the Ming Sheng, this part of the salt is introduced, and it will not be put out for sale. ”

"You are also very fair, but you have taken 800 sheets, if you call it someone else, I am afraid that you will have the heart to swallow it alone." Lin Ruhai said, this other person, he naturally has something to refer to, "These salt introductions are rewarded for you to do this errand well, you just take it." ”
