Rongguo Mansion has been experiencing continuous losses in recent years and is somewhat unable to make ends meet.

The son-in-law has earned so much money for the emperor, shouldn't he be more filial to his wife's family?

I'm afraid this is what my daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law are thinking.

Thinking of this, Jia Mu still laughed calmly with everyone. After a while, she stopped talking and asked everyone to leave.

But Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, and the personal maid Yuanyang were left behind.

"Second daughter-in-law." Jia Mu said calmly.

"Yes, my wife is here." Mrs. Wang quickly stood up, standing like a wooden figure.

Sister Feng also quickly stood up.

"Min'er's letter said that my uncle has made great achievements and was awarded the title of Cavalry Captain by the emperor. It shows that he has a bright future. This is a great thing. The government wants to celebrate it. You can arrange it."

"My daughter-in-law has remembered it," Mrs. Wang said numbly.

But there was a cold smile in his heart.

My father was born in the Duke's palace and was a member of the fifth-grade Ministry of Industry. My elder brother was the military governor of Beijing. Neither of them would crush Lin Ruhai.

A mere seventh-grade official, a mere cavalry captain, that is, Jia Mincai saw it.

It's really shameful.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's mute response, Mother Jia wondered how she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

However, Jia Mu was getting old and didn't like to argue about these things. She just reminded: "The harvests in the farms in the house have not been good in the past few years. I heard that my uncle got a lot of gold and silver from the salt merchants. As expected, this sensitive person

It’s a life of happiness.”

As soon as she heard about the money, Mrs. Wang's expression relaxed and she looked at Sister Feng aside.

Sister Feng is very clear about the overt and covert fights between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

However, given her identity and status, she naturally couldn't get in the conversation and could only make a few witticisms to relieve her boredom.

She made a joke, and when she saw the old lady and his wife looked so relieved, she came up with an idea: "Now that my uncle has been given a title by the emperor, he must have a bright future. Why not let Lian'er take the old lady's letter to see my uncle? I don't know if there will be any future."

What you gain.”

This is also a helpless move.

If you want to borrow money, you have to have an important member of the Jia family go there, otherwise you can ask someone to send you gold and silver with just a letter. Do you think Rongguo Mansion is a palace? Do you think Mrs. Jia is the emperor?

Not successful?

There is no such truth in the world.

Sister Feng continued: "My aunt has to fight with the salt merchants in Yangzhou, and my aunt has to take care of him. Then doesn't my cousin have no one to take care of me? Why don't the old lady write a letter and take my cousin over and take good care of her."

"What a great idea!" Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

Jia Mu snorted coldly in her heart, with a hint of displeasure.

She is old, so of course she likes the joy of having children and grandchildren around her, but she doesn't like the calculations between sisters-in-law.

Especially the children who help their daughter-in-law plot against their own daughters.

Your granddaughter is only six or seven years old, and you want her to leave her mother and travel thousands of miles to the capital?

Really unworthy of a man!

but……

Thinking about Jia's public accounts, Jia's mother could only suppress her displeasure and nodded in agreement.

…

Jia Lian was a young man from an aristocratic family. Although he went south under the orders of his family, he took a leisurely trip, visiting mountains and rivers, looking for scents and sights, and he was at ease and at ease without any panic.

By the time he arrived in Yangzhou, it was already three months later.

He came by chance and happened to catch up with the Lin family who were removing the incense table to receive the imperial edict.

"What, my uncle has been promoted to the rank of Salt Transport Envoy, and was named a first-class light chariot captain and cloud cavalry captain by the emperor?"

When Jia Lian heard the news, he couldn't help being shocked.

At the same time, I had a new understanding of the favor that the Lin family had received. I immediately decided to use all my energy to flatter the Lin family.

It turned out that within three months, Yangzhou salt merchants had made up for last year's salt tax of about 4 million, and sent it to the Ministry of Household Affairs in the capital.

This time, let alone the Ministry of Finance, the entire officialdom of the capital was in a state of shock.

With the money in the Ministry of Revenue, many things can be done, and the officials' backbone is also strengthened.

The prime minister, the minister, and even the emperor all felt honored.

A court with money in the treasury and a court with no money in the treasury are completely different concepts.

As long as they are ministers who deal with practical matters, they will all admire Lin Ruhai's methods.

All in all, no one in the civil or military dynasty spoke against Lin Ruhai's reward.

What's more, Emperor Xiaode has stabilized the situation through more than a year of management and having enough money in his hands.

Prince Yi Zhong, Prince Zhong Chun, the four princes and eight princes and other forces have monopolized countless financial resources, but together no one earns more. Many people have discussed privately, saying that His Majesty has the appearance of a wise king and a keen eye for knowing people. No wonder the Supreme Emperor can

Select him.

There was even private discussion among the aristocratic families in Beijing that Prince Yi Zhong and Prince Zhong Chun had so many people in their hands, but they could not compare to what one person could earn. No wonder they could not compete for the throne today.

What is the difference between him and Mengchangjun?

As we all know, Wang Anshi once commented on Lord Mengchang, saying that his hands were filled with roosters, dogs, and thieves. No wonder his reputation was in vain in the end.

Who said this, but no one can find out.

However, it is evident that Lin Ruhai has achieved the Sacred Heart.

Therefore, the emperor naturally promoted Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai is now the Deputy Salt Transport Envoy of the Huaihe and Huaidu Capitals. He is from the fifth rank and is of the same rank as Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion.

However, Lin Ruhai also has a first-class baron, which is a second-class title. Although it is not as good as Jia She's first-class general, it has much more real power than him.

As Lin Ruhai's wife, Jia Lian was uneasy and felt that his own brand name seemed a bit useless.

The Rongguo Mansion is very famous in the capital, and no one would dare not give face when doing things with the name of the Rongguo Mansion. Even a confirmed case can be turned around.

However, Uncle Lin had already become a first-class baron in less than a year after taking office. That was Jane in the Emperor's heart.

Lin Ruhai's nephew Chen Zhao, who was responsible for receiving Jia Lian, was young and only held an inspection position. He was also named the Captain of Light Vehicles. It was obvious that he had a bright future.

Will such a family allow the old lady, wife and others in the family to get what they want?

"My nephew pays homage to his uncle, and he pays homage to his aunt."

Thinking about all these, Jia Lian paid homage.

Although the title of First Baron was unavailable to the title of Duke Rongguo, it seemed that it was not something Jia Lian could resist.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Lian'er, sit down quickly, we haven't seen each other for many years." Jia Min was very happy to see her nephew and quickly asked him to sit down.

"Lian'er also misses my aunt all the time." Jia Lian said with a smile, and then said to Lin Ruhai: "Congratulations to my uncle for his great achievements. Jian is in the emperor's heart. I also wish my uncle to join the cabinet and pay homage to the prime minister in the future."

Then he said to Chen Zhao: "You have great power in my virtuous brother. My foolish brother heard about it even when he was far away in the capital. It's really amazing."

Chen Zhao smiled slightly: "Brother Jia comes from a high family and is often said to be smart and capable. My younger brother has also been known to be famous for a long time."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Zishang is too polite."

Chen Zhaodao: "That's good. People say, 'With a hundred thousand guan in your pocket, you can ride a crane down to Yangzhou.' Yangzhou is a famous city in the world, with flowers blooming like brocade. Brother Jia might as well visit more and see the land of Yangzhou, and how to interact with Brother Jia."

Compared with this road, the scenery is more beautiful."

"Okay, okay." Jia Lian said with a smile: "Zishang doesn't need to be polite to me. You and I are brothers. How much older am I? You can just call me 'Second Brother Lian'."

But he sighed in his heart.

I traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and the other party found out about it.

What he said was very clear. No matter what he said, he didn't seem to be in a hurry, because he came slowly all the way.

It's even harder to talk about money matters.

In fact, Chen Zhao thought on his heels and knew what Jia Lian wanted to do when he came to Yangzhou.

According to the behavior of the Jia family, after hearing that Lin Ruhai had presented so much gold and silver to the emperor, he naturally wanted to get a share of the glory.

However, Jia Lian was destined to return disappointed.

Because the Lin family didn't have a few taels of silver in their public account.

The reason is simple.

Lin Ruhai started a salt business, created such a big scene, and presented so much gold and silver to the emperor, so he naturally attracted the attention of both the government and the public.

So at this time, Lin Ruhai was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and he was afraid that if he made any overstep of boundaries, he would be criticized by thousands of people.

At this moment, of course Lin Ruhai had to protect her feathers.
