Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 947 The ants are still alive
Rongqing Hall in Rongfu has a dignified atmosphere.

Jia Rong walked in along the curtain raised by the maid, and she saw Jia Min sitting next to the old lady with worry on her brows.

Obviously, it was affected by the impeachment storm that suddenly appeared in the court.

On both sides, there were sitting the First Master She and the Second Master Zheng, as well as Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, in the standard Rongfu high-level meeting mode.

Going forward to salute one by one, I randomly found a chair and sat at the bottom, listening to the old lady and the others quietly.

He was sent by the Rong Mansion to call over suddenly.

I didn't know what was going on before, how could I not know now?
Just because of the dignified atmosphere in the room, he knew that everyone in the Rong Mansion, including Jia Min, didn't know why Lin Ruhai was suddenly impeached?

It seems that the previous turmoil in the court has nothing to do with Lin Ruhai, the chief envoy of Jin Province, right?

Of course, there are also entanglements. It should be that Lin Ruhai served as the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou before, that's all.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, the old lady, I have to go back to see my grandson. I don't have much free time!"

Grand Master Xi spoke first, and said impatiently, "Earlier to discuss and end sooner!"

The old lady glared at the guy, and said angrily: "It's not that there is no nanny, and the family affairs are not bothered!"

"Isn't it just the impeachment of my brother-in-law? I have nothing to do!"

Master Xi said very bluntly: "Of course, if I can be used, I will not refuse!"

In the past, he wouldn't have spoken at all.

Right now, for the future of his good grandson, he naturally has to behave in front of his younger sister Jia Min.

"Min'er, do you know what happened this time?"

The old lady didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, she turned her head and asked, "Why are there so many people impeaching my son-in-law in the court all of a sudden?"

"Mother, I don't know either!"

Jia Min was very depressed, she really didn't know what was going on inside,

Of course, she understands that there is no unreasonable love in this world, nor will there be unreasonable hatred. There must be something inside the husband's sudden impeachment.

It's just that she didn't know anything about it, and she was a little worried.

"Second brother, you are well-informed in the General Administration Department, do you know the way here?"

The old lady frowned slightly, turned to look at the Second Master Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "If there is anything inappropriate, we have to make preparations earlier!"

What she was worried about was that the final target of the impeachment of Lin Ruhai in the court was the Rong Mansion, and it would be bad if she was not prepared.

"No specific news!"

The Second Master Zheng was a little embarrassed, shook his head and said: "But I have heard some colleagues vaguely say that those who impeached my brother-in-law are venting their anger!"

Outrage?

The old lady was a little puzzled and dissatisfied.

Could it be that those guys who just lost in the court battle felt that Lin Ruhai was easy to bully?
Or do they simply look down on Rongfu?

"You don't need to ask the old lady, I know the way of this matter!"

At this moment, Jia Rong spoke suddenly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Oh, Brother Rong knows what's going on inside?"

The old lady didn't believe it, and asked, "Then tell me, what's going on?"

Jia Min and the rest of the people sitting there also looked at Jia Rong with piercing eyes.

"It's easy to say. Didn't Uncle Lin fall into the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor at the beginning, and it was difficult to get out for a while, and the situation became more and more dangerous!"

"Based on the state at that time, if Uncle Lin can't get out in time, I'm afraid that my aunt, Daiyu and brother Yu will encounter unforeseen disasters!"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the senior Rongfu including the old lady changed. They didn't expect that the situation of Lin Ruhai's family was so difficult.

Subconsciously looking at Jia Min, Jia Min frowned and said slowly: "I don't know if the situation at that time was as bad as Brother Rong said!"

"However, it is true that Ruhai had a bad relationship with the Yangzhou salt merchants at that time!"

The old lady said: "A group of salt merchants, dare to target the court officials?"

"Heh, the so-called man dies for money and birds die for food!"

Jia Rong laughed and said: "Uncle Lin is a capable official. When he was a salt censor, his annual salt tax was more than ten million taels, and at the highest point it even reached 300 million taels!"

"But right now, the salt tax revenue of Yangzhou's patrolling salt censor's yamen in the past two years is only about 900 million taels. How big is the gap?"

"The biggest gap even reached 500 million taels, that is, when Uncle Lin was the most ruthless, it caused the Yangzhou salt merchants to lose 500 million taels of salt tax!"

The old lady and the people in the Rong Mansion waited, their tongues clicked, and their hearts were shocked.

They never expected that Lin Ruhai would cut off the income of the Yangzhou salt merchants in such an astonishing manner, and it's no wonder that the other party would take revenge.

"As long as Uncle Lin is brought down, millions of taels of salt tax can be saved every year. How could those salt merchants not do it?"

Jia Rong continued indifferently: "Old lady, among those big guys behind the Yangzhou salt merchants, which one is not stronger than Uncle Lin?"

"As long as it's not a blatant murder of officials and rebellion, it's still possible to make the family of Xunyan Yushi ruined!"

"You know, since Dagan founded the country for more than a hundred years, there are not one or two who have died inexplicably or even wronged among the history of Yangzhou inspectors!"

He said this lightly, but in the ears of the old lady and others, it made them feel chilly.

Jia Min's face turned pale even more. She never thought that the whole family would be in such a dangerous situation in Yangzhou.

"I don't want Ru Hai's situation back then to be so dangerous!"

The old lady's complexion was very ugly, and her mood was even more complicated.

She never thought about why the Rong Mansion failed to notice Lin Ruhai's situation and help him at the critical moment.

Instead, he thought that Lin Ruhai didn't take the initiative to say hello to the Rong Mansion when he encountered such a dangerous environment. Was this contemptuous?
People are always like this, what they like to consider most is their own interests and feelings.

Anyway, Lin Ruhai's family is doing well at the moment, obviously they got through the difficulties smoothly.

The old lady didn't care about the situation of the Lin family, but cared a lot about whether the Lin family's attitude towards Rongfu was sincere.

As for the mentality of the people in the Rongfu, Jia Rong didn't say that he was clear, but he knew quite well.

Selfish, stalking the crowd, exalting the high and trampling the low, and being ruthless towards one's own people, let alone outsiders.

In their eyes, Lin Ruhai was a standard outsider.

In the story of the Red Mansion, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to send Lin Daiyu to the capital, and it was impossible for the senior management of the Rong Mansion not to notice the situation inside.

But what did the old lady do, she just entertained Lin Daiyu warmly, and ignored Lin Ruhai's situation at all.

As a result, when Lin Ruhai was about to die, he hurriedly sent Lian Er to finish the work, and swept away Lin Ruhai's family property by the way.

Rong Mansion wants to rise and re-enter the top elite circles in the capital. It is useless to rely on millions of dead people's wealth. On the contrary, acting like this will directly damage the character.

Even the concubine Yuan Chun, the core leader of the founding Xungui Group, basically has no intention of dealing with the Rongfu.

Otherwise, Wang Ziteng would never die outside the capital easily.

The second master of politics would not get such a deceitful position as Liang Dao, but he would be played and applauded by the Qing Ke and the long follower around him.

As for Jia Min, his impression of Rongfu should be in its heyday before marriage.

At that time, the Rong Mansion was the one that helped Lin Ruhai to the top. She thought that the Rong Mansion now supports Lin Ruhai as always.

So some things need to be made clear, otherwise the old lady thought that Lin Ruhai was able to jump out of the fire pit in Yangzhou, and the Rong Mansion had a lot of credit.

Next, he said something that shocked everyone present.

"Because of his birth, Uncle Lin has always been regarded as the emperor's confidant. It is naturally the emperor's intention to be able to take the position of Yangzhou patrol salt censor in less than forty!"

"In this way, Uncle Lin is naturally not popular nowadays. But Uncle Lin's performance in the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor is too prominent. If he is changed rashly, it may affect the salt tax revenue!"

"I don't know what's going on, but the emperor didn't take advantage of Uncle Lin's outstanding performance to transfer Uncle Lin from the position of Yangzhou inspector censor, but let Uncle Lin serve three consecutive terms!"

"This is not a good thing. The salt tax has a lot of entanglements. It is a conflict of interests involving millions or even millions of taels of silver. If something goes wrong, some top bosses may be offended to death!"

"Everyone may not be clear, but today is going along with the flow, and I plan to let Uncle Lin sit in the position of Yangzhou patrol salt censor until he dies!"

This is too scary.

The old lady and her party, who listened carefully, couldn't help showing panic on their faces.

"Impossible, how can you be so cruel today?"

The old lady didn't believe it: "Ruhai has been appointed as the Yangzhou inspector and censor, that is a sign of trust today!"

However, Jia Min's face became paler, as if he had thought of something, and his spirit became a little dazed.

"Didn't I say it before, Yangzhou salt merchants are not good at it!"

Jia Rong said indifferently: "Uncle Lin will be able to live in Yangzhou for one or two years. If it is three or more years, how much money will the Yangzhou salt merchants lose?"

"Cutting one's fortune is like killing one's parents. Will the Yangzhou Salt Chamber of Commerce be polite to Uncle Lin?"

"Brother Rong, how do you know this?"

The old lady was not a good one, she quickly reacted suspiciously and said: "Such a secret matter even includes the attitude of today and the emperor, how could you know?"

"Old lady, there were quite a few outstanding students of ethnology at Uncle Lin's side to learn and experience there!"

Jia Rong smiled lightly and said, "As for the current attitude and the emperor's attitude, I also learned from Uncle Lin, how could Uncle Lin, as the person involved, not feel the strong malice from the capital?"

The old lady's complexion collapsed, and she was quite dissatisfied in her heart. She developed a lot of bad feelings towards Lin Ruhai, and felt that Lin Ruhai was too incapable of being a human being.

Such a thing, he didn't communicate with Rongfu in advance, but told Jia Rong, wouldn't he look down on Rongfu?
She didn't even think about it, Lin Ruhai was in such a difficult situation at the time, how could she easily tell her after she knew something about Rongfu's behavior?

Maybe Rongfu felt that he was worthless, and might even stab him in the back.

This kind of thing is really bad, it's better not to test the relatives of the Rongfu, otherwise the relatives may not even have to do it in the end.

The atmosphere in the main room of Rongqing Hall was quite dignified, the old lady and other bigwigs of Rongfu felt aggrieved, as if a boulder was pressed against their chests.

Even though he knew that Lin Ruhai was fine at the moment, but hearing about his dangerous situation at that time, he still felt oppressed by the black clouds overwhelming the city.

Ask yourself, if they encounter such a situation, they will definitely end up with a narrow escape, unless they voluntarily resign from office.

But in this way, the emperor and the present will be offended at the same time, and that is no joke.

Jia Min's mind went blank, and his hands subconsciously twisted together.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost exaggerated, Jia Rong smiled lightly and said: "Uncle Lin has a family and a family, especially the direct line of the Lin family he belongs to. How could he be a grown man willing to die? Naturally, he has to save himself!"

For some reason, everyone including the old lady breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

This is the most normal operation. Ants are still stealing their lives, let alone Lin Ruhai who has a family and a business and is responsible for inheriting the family business.

"At that time, I gave Uncle Lin a bold suggestion, asking him to try to figure out a method of drying sea salt!"

Jia Rong said cheerfully: "Uncle Lin also made a lot of determination, and decided to take a risk with the mentality of breaking the boat, and it turned out to be a success!"

"Uncle Lin told the news in a secret way at the first time, no matter how upset I am today, I have to pinch my nose and transfer Uncle Lin away from Yangzhou!"

"Otherwise, Uncle Lin, who invented the method of drying sea salt, will definitely die!"

"Once the news is leaked, who will dare to work for the royal family in the future?"

Those words were like thunder rolling, directly shaking the hearts of the big brothers of the Rong Mansion present, and it was difficult for a long time to calm down the agitated emotions in their hearts.

"Brother Rong, you mean you invented the method of drying sea salt?"

The old lady's expression changed, and her voice trembled a little.

"That's natural!"

Jia Rong smiled lightly and said: "This is not a top secret, it is recorded in the book, but it is just a few words, and we still need to try it!"

"I can say responsibly that the big clans in the southeast coast should have mastered the method of drying sea salt, but it's just kept secret!"

"It is estimated that they have made some moves to collect most of the relevant ancient books in their hands. The purpose is to keep the secrets from being leaked!"

It was another blockbuster, which made the bosses of the Rong Mansion feel a little messed up.

The old lady who originally wanted to blame Jia Rong immediately shut up and swallowed what she was about to blurt out.

However, she was still a little unwilling and said: "For such a thing, why don't you say it in advance, Rongfu should make preparations early!"

As for what preparations to make early, it is natural to participate in the development of the sun-dried salt factory in Jinmen early, and how much benefit Rongfu can get by then...
