Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 725
Regarding Jia Mu's plan, Lian Er didn't think there was anything wrong with it, on the contrary, he took it for granted.

He really hoped that Uncle Lin could solve the troubles of the Second Master Zheng, otherwise the mansion would be lively in the future.

Don't look at the second master of politics as a mother and boy, but Mrs. Wang is a master of family affairs, very powerful.

Among other things, Lian Er saw that his wife, Wang Xifeng, was coaxed by Mrs. Wang, and he reminded her several times to no avail.

Lian Er didn't want Mrs. Wang to stare at him because of the matter of Master Zheng Er.

Because of the promotion, Mrs. Wang was quite dissatisfied.

As the oldest descendant male in Rongfu, Jia Zhu is still studying and preparing for the exam.
As Jia Zhu's mother, Mrs. Wang is also the head wife of Rong Mansion, how could she watch Lian Er get along like a fish in water in the officialdom, and leave Jia Zhu who is still studying far away?

With the position of the second master of politics in front of her head, Mrs. Wang will not easily play tricks when she is in a good mood.

But if the second political master is not going well in the officialdom, he has to guard against Mrs. Wang's anger on others.

Such a thing is absolutely unavoidable.

Because it was an internal matter in Rongfu, Lian Er didn't mention it to Jia Rong.

In fact, neither Jia Rong nor the old lady of the Rong Mansion and Lian Er were aware of Lin Ruhai's report in Beijing this time, but it attracted quite a lot of attention.

Returning to Beijing with him is this year's salt tax, 100 million taels of silver.

This is an astonishing sum, and three official ships were specially used to escort it, and there was also a team of elite troops to escort it.

Not only that, but in the hands of the officials in charge of the escort, there is also a temporary imperial decree that can ask the local garrison for help, and the fear is that there will be accidents in the middle.

After all, money touches people's hearts!

100 million taels of silver is enough for some forces to take risks.

At the same time, this amount of salt tax and tax money is enough to reach [-]% of the treasury's revenue in the previous year!

It can be said that Lin Ruhai's imposing manner was astonishing when he entered Beijing with Yin Yin.

At the same time, it also fully revealed his political achievements.

After all, Lin Ruhai's work has been very effective in being able to pay the national treasury more than ten million taels of salt tax every year.

You must know that the salt tax censor who "suicide in fear of guilt" was less than 800 million taels of salt tax.

The gap of more than 300 million taels of silver is not only a great blow to the treasury revenue, but also a great hidden danger.

If the money falls into the hands of careerists, it will be enough to form an army of 10 people, and it will not be a problem to maintain it for five to ten years.

If it is used to bribe local officials, it is afraid that officials in several provinces will be completely defeated and shake the foundation of the Dagan court.

It's no wonder that although Lin Ruhai doesn't like Lin Ruhai today, he still pinches his nose and makes him the inspector of salt for three years.

It's just that, this time when Lin Ruhai reported his work in Beijing, it seemed to a discerning eye that he was about to be promoted, and it was impossible for him to stay in the post.

After sitting for three years in a row as the patrolling censor, the eyes of many officials and court forces turned red with jealousy.

If Lin Ruhai doesn't want to leave, then find a way to make him have to 'go'.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the official position at the second-rank level is not good, and it definitely belongs to the position of the top boss.

However, compared to the benefits that can be obtained directly from the Yamen of Xunyan Yushi every year, even the position of governor of a province may not be as affordable as Xunyan Yushi.

Especially in those poor provinces, it is not easy to make money even if they want to, and they rebel every now and then. Which governor can bear this?
To be honest, fortunately, the Rong Mansion has been in great decline, and they like to close their doors to become unified. They don't like to pay attention to outside affairs, and they don't know much about many things, otherwise Lin Ruhai will be miserable.

With the greedy nature of the entire Rong family, if they knew that Lin Ruhai handed over 1000 million taels of salt tax to the state treasury every year, would they not be able to help?
Thinking too much...

When Jia Rong attended a regular meeting of the polo league management, she was reminded by the disciples of Hui Xungui.

"Brother Rong, I heard that the son-in-law of the Rong Mansion has gone to Beijing, and the salt tax and tax silver he brought with him exceeds 100 million taels!"

When he said this, the guy's eyes slowly filled with amazement and greed.

But it is human nature, there are very few people who hear the news and are not moved, of course Jia Rong is one of them.

"This is real?"

Jia Rong felt a little unbelievable, Lin Ruhai's mind was broken by the door, why did he go to Beijing with the boat escorting the tax bank?
There are many doorways here, and he immediately realized that Lin Ruhai's situation was not good.

If the court order was normal, there would be no problem for Lin Ruhai to act like this.

Asking for credit or rewarding, even a motivated official would not easily let go of the opportunity.

But the problem is that the current court order is not so normal.

Standing side by side with the emperor today, they are fighting fiercely in private for power and the right to speak.

The emperor has wooed the honorable group, and now it is wooing the civilian group, and at the same time cultivated some military generals, all wanting to become the only supreme in the court.

Lin Ruhai himself belongs to the honorable group, and at the same time is a member of the civil official group, so it can be said that his identity is very subtle.

But he got married with Rong Mansion early, so he is naturally a member of the Xungui Group.

Today, the members of the Xungui Group have always been honest.

The better Lin Ruhai behaves, the more suspicion will be aroused today.

Among other things, Lin Ruhai's appointment to the official position of inspector of salt was promoted by the emperor, and his performance was indeed quite good.

For three consecutive years, the salt tax and tax silver handed over to the treasury exceeded 1000 million taels.

This was a pretty good political achievement, but now I can only be suspicious, how much money did the emperor get through Lin Ruhai?

The better Lin Ruhai performed, the more suspicious he would be now.

If Lin Ruhai didn't know how to get out in time, I'm afraid that the tragic ending in the story of the Red Mansion would be unavoidable in the end.

After learning about Lin Ruhai's behavior from a group of noble disciples, he can only say that there is something wrong with his mind.

Predicting the approximate time of Lin Ruhai's arrival in Tongzhou, Jia Rong directly sent someone to meet him, and at the same time gave this guy a reminder.

In order to avoid accidents, Jia Rong planned to dispatch the guards in the mansion.

Before that, he asked Lian Er for a while, and only then did he know that Rong Mansion also sent someone to welcome him.

"Brother Rong, how do you know the approximate time when Uncle Lin arrived in Tongzhou?"

Hearing that the Ning Mansion also planned to send people there, Lian Er was a little surprised and asked back.

"Hey, we have a lot of cooperation with Uncle Lin on the ethnology side, so there will naturally be correspondence. Isn't it normal to know some things?"

"How many people are going to be sent to meet Rong Mansion?"

Jia Rong asked curiously: "Don't tell me, just a manager with two servants who are dedicated to serving people, that's quite rude. If conditions permit, I will go there myself..."
