Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is the source?"

“Poisoned.”

Wang Xiao said without hesitation, "Mr. Lin, you are infected with chronic poison."

Lin Ruhai's reaction was a little strange. He did not question or get angry. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Lin Ruhai sighed, "Oh~"

Wang Xiao asked curiously, "Mr. Lin knows?"

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said, "I don't know, but I can guess it."

Walking back to the bed and sitting down, Lin Ruhai said, "Miscellaneous Doctor, do you know how much salt tax revenue is in the country over the years?"

Before Wang Xiao could answer, he said to himself, "Before Lin came to Yangzhou City to take office, his annual salt tax revenue had dropped to 2 million taels. But do you know that when Emperor Taizu was Emperor Taizu, the population in the world was not as large as it is now, and the salt tax at that time exceeded 10 million taels."

Wang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Is it a salt merchant?"

"right."

Lin Ruhai nodded, "These salt taxes were all swallowed up by the salt merchants with private salt."

He stood up and bowed to the north, "Mr. Lin was trusted by His Majesty and came here to rectify the salt affairs. He put his heart into practice, racked his brains, and severely cracked down on private salt, and finally gradually increased the salt tax. Last year, it was already more than 5 million taels."

Wang Xiao laughed, "The salt merchants won't watch so much, after all, in their opinion, these salt taxes should belong to them."

“That’s exactly that.”

Lin Ruhai sighed, "In order to fight with these private salt dealers, Lin's son and wife have been killed. Now they are attacking Lin, Lin can guess."
