Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 750

When Lin Ruhai quietly returned to Beijing with his family, what he saw was a 'clean' urban area.

This is, have all the refugees and beggars in the city been dealt with?

His first reaction was not joy, but a sudden thump in his heart.

Having been an official in the local area for more than ten years, he is too aware of the pissing nature of the officials in the yamen.

Treating people with a little bit of politeness or fairness is already considered a very good official, and the so-called "blue sky" can be praised.

What's more, they don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously, and treat ordinary people like grass.

If there is a need, or to save face, quietly kill a group of unsightly refugees and beggars, that is really an easy and simple thing.

It's just that I didn't expect that the officials in the capital would be so ruthless!

Originally, he was in a good mood after returning to Beijing because he escaped smoothly, but suddenly fell to the bottom. Lin Ruhai still has a literati integrity.

Naturally, the first stop when returning to Beijing is not my home, but the official post.

Although the Lin family also has a mansion in the capital, and they sent people to clean it up in advance, there are still some rules that must be followed.

Of course, there is no need for the family members who accompanied them back to Beijing.

After being settled in the official post, Lin Ruhai immediately handed over the paperwork to the palace, and he wanted to report to the present.

Originally thought that he would have to wait for a few days now, but there was a reply sooner rather than later, and let him enter the palace as soon as possible to face the saint.

Lin Ruhai was so excited about the idea, thinking that he was still interested in the matter of drying salt by the sea.

In other words, even though he made a big fuss in Yangzhou, he offended the Yangzhou salt merchants over and over again.

But in fact, he felt that he had done nothing wrong.

I personally experienced and planned the drying of salt by the sea, so I realized how cost-effective drying salt is compared to boiling salt, which is also a great thing for the whole Daqian.

Among other things, a large amount of sea salt is produced through the method of drying salt, which can provide people all over the country with low-cost salt, and at the same time, the salt tax will only increase.

Both the country and the people are good things, how could he have the slightest psychological burden?
Before, I was worried that I would not be willing to promote it today, and I felt a little uneasy, but now it seems that people are still very concerned about people's livelihood.

The matter was too urgent. Regarding his wife's proposal to bring a pair of children to visit his grandmother, he nodded directly and said that when he left the palace, if it was still early, he would go directly to pick them up.

As for spending the night at his mother-in-law's house, he never thought about it.

As for the situation in Rong Mansion, I have learned about it from the outstanding students of the Jia Clan Studies around me, and I know that it is a place of right and wrong, so it is better not to randomly join in.

It is also because the second master Zheng and the second official Lian are prosperous, the weather in Rongfu has changed so much, and it is hard for a group of ethnology students to say too much, otherwise Lin Ruhai will probably stay away from Rongfu.

Lin Ruhai came to the palace in a hurry, and when he saw the present, he was poured cold water on his head, and his heart immediately became cold.

Today's attitude is quite cold. After listening to his report, he bluntly stated that the matter in Yangzhou is over.

As soon as the conversation turned, he assigned him to do a good job in Jin Province, so as not to disappoint the trust of the royal family and the court.

As for the sun-dried salt at the seaside, I didn't even mention it. Obviously, it didn't mean to promote or attach importance to it.

Lin Ruhai felt a little disappointed, but fortunately he was not a top-notch person either.

His wife was still alive and well, and his son and daughter were still there, so naturally he would not be that annoying straight minister, and finally left the palace without saying anything, nodding his head to express his understanding.

This time, the emperor didn't send anyone to stop him, and Lin Ruhai didn't bother to guess what kind of state the emperor and today are getting along with.

Of course, there is still a little bit of rejoicing in my heart.

From the current indifference attitude, it can be seen that if he can't get out of the big fire pit in Yangzhou in time, his whole family will probably fall into it.

Thinking of this, a gust of cold air spread from the head to the soles of the feet, feeling chilling to the bone.

However, on the surface, he was promoted to a higher level and became the chief envoy of Jin Province, which is already considered a big official in the frontier.

However, how can Jin Province be so easy to manage?

Through the simple correspondence with Jia Rong in Ningfu, he understood that the affairs in Jin province were not easy to handle at all.

I just don't know why the Zixungui family are so interested in the coal mines in Jin Province?

According to Jia Rong's letter, all the large and medium-sized coal mines that have been discovered in Jin Province at this time have owners.

When he returned to the official post, the sun was still hanging high above his head, but Lin Ruhai was not in the mood to go to Rongfu to pick him up.

Originally, according to his idea, at least he would stay in the palace until the evening.

In the fantasy, the scene of the harmonious match between the monarch and his ministers did not appear, which has to be said to be quite a pity.

Lin Ruhai can be regarded as a traditional scholar-bureaucrat, and he still has a lot of ideals.

"Master is back!"

The old housekeeper Lin who was waiting at the official post immediately stepped forward to greet Lin Ruhai when he saw Lin Ruhai, and brought a cup of steaming tea by the way.

The old housekeeper Lin returned to Beijing one step ahead of time to clean up the Lin family's mansion, which had been inhabited for a long time.

Hearing that Lin Ruhai had arrived in Beijing with his family, he rushed over to serve him immediately.

"Over there in the mansion, how is the cleaning going?"

Lin Ruhai asked while drinking tea, "Can I stay here?"

"Master, the time is too short. At present, only the main courtyard and the side courtyards next to it have been cleaned up. It will take at least a month or two to clean up the entire mansion!"

"No rush, as long as the main courtyard and the side courtyard can accommodate people!"

Lin Ruhai didn't mean to blame. The big brick and wood house like his own mansion was quite troublesome to clean up.

Some damages need to be repaired by craftsmen who can rest assured, and it is impossible to clean them up in a short time.

In Yangzhou, fortunately, they lived in the yamen, otherwise it would not be an easy task to just clean up the things in the house.

"Recently, has anything happened here in the capital?"

After relaxing his mind, Lin Ruhai felt a little tired, and asked casually while drinking tea.

"My lord, not many things have happened in the capital recently. The most important thing is that the very popular story "Chen Shimei's Biography" has ended, which caused quite a stir!"

Lin Ruhai nodded to express his understanding. He also heard the story of "Chen Shimei's Biography" in his spare time from the servants around him.

Regardless of the plot, just the things Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian encountered are of great reference value.

The things they encountered not only exist in reality, but even have such an idea of ​​universality, which is really embarrassing.

In the bustling and noisy Dagan, there are actually all kinds of filth and filth behind the scenes, but the news is not spread smoothly, and ordinary people basically can't turn over when they encounter something, so it has not been completely spread.

But how can Lin Ruhai not be clear, some things will only be worse than the plot of the story...
