Salt Courtyard, Zhonglin Hall.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and smiled helplessly: "You, why bother quarrel with Banshan Gong again?"

When Jia Qiang said goodbye to Han Bin, before getting on board, Han Bin taught him a lesson, he was pushed back by Jia Qiang...

Jia Qiang was even more helpless and smiled bitterly: "Auntie, I am not going to argue with him. It is the man from the mountain who regards merchants as evil in his bones. He is determined to persuade me to 'return to the right' and help him eliminate the salt merchants. How is that possible?"

Lin Ruhai said curiously: "Why is it impossible? You should know that none of the eight major salt merchants are not drunk with salt blood. The salt merchants fight each other privately, which one does not have a hundred lives? The old fox of the Qi family was originally just a salt-boiled salt-boiled clan. The clan who can be rich for more than 60 years, do you know how many people he has killed? Which of these people should not die?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Maybe so, but I think it's reasonable to exist. Even if the old fox of Qi's family has killed people, he must have killed his fellow soldiers, and killed salt merchants with both hands, not the people. In addition, it was the court's salt administration and imperfect supervision, which caused all this. Of course, the court wanted to settle accounts after the fall, and then put them to justice after confirming the evidence. I agreed with both hands. But if I wanted to use me as a knife, it was impossible to do it."

Lin Ruhai shook his head and smiled faintly, "Do you think I and Mr. Banshan want to think about it? But... I don't say anything, the old fox of Qi's family has been melting away all the evidence of his more than 60 years. Now, there is no need to find a victim, let alone a testimony of the crime. Although the other families are not as clean as the Qi's family, they have spent a lot of money on the imitation of the Qi's family. Now even if they can leave some evidence of the crime, they are mostly just some minor problems. How can the court bring them to justice? The old fox of Qi's family is really a headache."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Even if this is the case, Mr. Banshan shouldn't let me touch the car, right? I am just a sage citizen who doesn't even have fame and fortune. The country is too far away for me and I can't afford to get involved. It's right that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, but now it's still very far away from the rise and fall of the world. For the ambition in Mr. Banshan's heart, I have to touch the car. Even if I can shake off my momentum, how difficult it will be for me to act in the future. When the liquidation is settled ten or twenty years later, today's things are my misfortune."

Lin Ruhai listened calmly in front of him, but when he heard the last sentence, he changed his expression and said in a deep voice: "Ten years, twenty years later, when the liquidation is settled? Brother Qiang, what does this mean?"

Jia Qiang shook his head and said, "Auntie, I have a shallow knowledge, but I also know that from ancient times to the present, many wise ministers and ministers have reformed their great policies in order to eliminate Chen Ke and prosper in the prosperous era. Banshan Gong is not the first and will not be the last. Some of them have succeeded, and some have failed. But even if they can do it, how long can they last in this prosperous era?

It can only last for decades, but short for months!

Most of them follow the changes of kings, and the new policy will be abandoned. Even before the changes of kings are made, after the new policy is launched, in order to calm the counterattack of the people who have lost their interests, they will begin to liquidate the innovators to consolidate the imperial power.

Have you ever seen these things?

The Banshan Gong regards merchants as enemies and will inevitably offend a large number of powerful people. The more fierce the technique, the more tragic the counterattack will become.

Of course, I am not just afraid of the bad ending, but I think that simply wanting to help the poor by killing the rich can only be a dead end!”

In Jia Qiang's opinion, Han Bin is likely to have tasted the sweetness of raiding the house.

With only one Feng family and one Mei family, the cash bank can be used to collect more than 500,000 taels, and the financial resources of these two families cannot be compared with the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou.

If all the eight families were slaughtered and eaten meat, the court would be afraid that it would be able to have a fat New Year and the emperor would breathe a sigh of relief.

Furthermore, which of these eight companies has no crimes? Why not kill them without any wrongdoing?

But in Jia Qiang's view, this behavior may not necessarily outweigh the disadvantages for Da Yan.

It is OK to beat it, a huge fine, or even kill a group of people with evidence of guilt.

But if there is no definite crime, the family will be directly confiscated and exterminated. Such a horrific punishment will inevitably cause panic and destroy the social stability and already weak business ecology of Dayan.

It is suspected of killing a chicken to get eggs, and the gain is not worth the loss.

"Kill the rich and help the poor?"

Lin Ruhai frowned and looked at Jia Qiang and reminded: "Brother Qiang, although there is no strong evidence at the moment, I can tell you clearly that according to the laws of the state, it is not unfair to copy any of these eight masters. Even if they kill the rich and help the poor, what is the result? Don't be too pedantic to do big things. For the court, killing the eight masters can restore the fate of the country, so what crime can't be convicted?"

After a moment of silence, Jia Qiang shook his head and said, "Maybe, but I can't help this matter. I have a sense of self-knowledge. Of course, I am nothing in the eyes of Mr. Banshan. But because the Supreme Emperor praised me three times and gave me the name Liangchen, he became a sword that can be used in the eyes of Mr. Banshan. With the Supreme Emperor's good minister, he went to kill the old man Jingchu. As for the backlash of this sword in the future, I don't think that Mr. Banshan would care too much. For the sake of the country, he could even give up his own life and the lives of his blood and descendants, let alone mine?

However, I am just a selfish little person, not seeking knowledge from the princes, but only hope to live a free life with my family.

After being able to protect yourself, if you have the spare energy, you will do your best to do something to help others in the best of your ability. Therefore, I respect you halfway up the mountain, but I am not a member of the same place after all."

Lin Ruhai heard this and his gloomy face became a little complicated. He looked at Jia Qiang and said, "You can always surprise me. You no longer treat you as an ordinary boy, but your words surprised me again. It is really not easy for you to have this insight... But it may not be perfect. For example, you just want to miss someone."

Jia Qiang looked at Lin Ruhai and whispered: "What my aunt said is... to be today's son?"

Lin Ruhai opened his eyes and shined in his eyes without any concealing the admiration. He said, "You even thought of this? Since you can think of today's son, you should understand how wise the emperor is, and how diligent and diligent love the people! With such a king in the court, shouldn't we sacrifice our lives to serve, and to fully demonstrate what we have learned in our hearts to fulfill our lifelong ambitions?"

When Jia Qiang heard this, his face was vaguely complicated: "Auntie, what you said makes sense. I don't know much about the emperor, but only know that for the sake of the people of Shanxi, he took down all over 100 officials from all over the country from the governor. This is the first time since the reign of the country. The emperor is not as fond of luxury as the Supreme Emperor. Since he ascended the throne, not to mention the construction of a large number of buildings, he is reluctant to spend money even in the repair of the palace. These are all in line with the standards of the ancient wise kings. But..."

“But what?”

Lin Ruhai frowned and asked, "He didn't really want to ask for advice on a young man, even if the young man was so amazing."

Things in the officialdom and government affairs cannot be determined by their amazing talents.

But this novel idea can still bring him a lot of inspiration and help him, as the institution, see the current situation clearly.

Even Lin Ruhai and Jia Qiang could think of his situation in a bad situation after returning to Beijing to the court. Could it be that he would not have thought of it?

I heard Jia Qiang say, "But the emperor has been tolerant for so many years. If he really reforms the major policies, he will be decisive. Governing a big country should be like cooking a small fresh food. Once he is in a hurry, good things will easily turn into bad things, and the rebound will definitely be fierce! Sir, the students think that businessmen should be suppressed? It is suppressed. But the means of suppression must not be so domineering and unreasonable!"

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai was silent for a long time, he slowly breathed: "Actually, you are worried that the people who are mainly targeted by Banshan Gong are not merchants. What kind of enemy are the only salt merchants? But Banshan Gong entered Jiangnan alone and would not be able to open up the situation as soon as possible without burning three fires. It was also a forced one to borrow your knife and start killing. Brother Qiang, I understand your thoughts. Now you have a success in your heart. Join forces with Qi and Xu family, and maybe join forces with several other companies to take advantage of the cheapness of their Yangzhou landlords. This is not a bad thing, I can understand and support you.

But what you think you can think of is that the half-mountain Lord could not have imagined? The books you read are not as high as the half-mountain Lord. But even if he knows what the consequences will be, so what? Wherever the Tao is, even if millions of people will go, I will go!

The Duke of Banshan really does not seek benefits for himself, but hopes that the people and the people can be at peace.

So, I still hope that you can work hard. Moreover, he opened up the situation in Jiangnan, and the pressure will be much less when I return to Beijing next year."

Jia Qiang paused and smiled bitterly, "I respect his way, but I have no intention of his way. But... if my aunt wanted me to do something, I wouldn't say anything. I think Banshan Gong thought of this and asked Aunt, you, to say this to me. However, I will not move the four families of Qi, Li, Chen, and Peng." These four families were people he thought were available.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "That's right. You know that sooner or later, Mr. Banshan will return to the central government as prime minister. Even if the road ahead is difficult, you can do something good at this moment. Sooner or later he will return you. Besides, this matter is really harmful to you, and I can encourage you to go? You, don't take the Qi family, the people of the Xu family are too simple. Just rely on your prescription, just based on your words on the Pearl Pavilion, and the Jia family far away in the capital. Do you think they will take you seriously? After all, you still have to establish authority and use the heads of the salt merchant's neck to establish authority!! Both kindness and power are the king. Otherwise, you will be swallowed by them sooner or later, especially after we return to Beijing in the future."

When Jia Qiang heard this, his face looked solemn. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded slowly and said, "What my aunt said is very simple. For such a great benefit, if you don't knock on the mountain and shake the tiger first, you may be backfired soon."

"Knock the mountain and shake the tiger?"

Lin Ruhai smiled, and his eyes flashed with cold and cold eyes, saying, "They are worthy? At most, they are just killing the chicken to warn the monkey!"

...

Front yard room.

Since Lin Ruhai came out, Jia Qiang went to the guest room to visit Xue Pan with all his thoughts.

Before entering the door, Xue Pan quarreled with Zhang Dehui, the general accountant in the house at the top of his voice.

Zhang Dehui was repeatedly instructed by Aunt Xue to take good care of the young Xue Pan, who was 800 taels of silver, and was practicing for Xue Pan to make a living.

Although Aunt Xue said that even if you compensate them all, you will not be involved in the matter, but if you compensate them in business, you will not be involved in the matter, and you will not be used for prostitution.

If Aunt Xue knew about what happened last night, then his old face would be considered a loss.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said Xue Pan, Xue Pan started to scream impatiently.

Xue Pan had just been holding it off the boat for twenty days before he got off. Unexpectedly, the courtesan did not sleep, but was opened by someone. Now he has to rest on the bed for more than ten days.

After a while, it’s all the time to celebrate the New Year!

I was already upset, but this old man was chatting endlessly. How could he not be upset?

Hearing that the more quarrels inside, Xue Pan just messes around, Jia Qiang has no choice but to push the door and resolve this case...
