Unlimited supplies: Bringing space to the supermarket to keep the right minister

Chapter 514

When Fu Qionglin mentioned Su Jingchen, it seemed to relieve Jun Tingye's urgent need.

If Fu Qionglin hadn't mentioned it, Jun Tingye would have almost forgotten that there was such a person as Su Jingchen. There is no way, the northern border is too remote, and the Hu country is almost destroyed. There is no war in the northern border, and taxes are paid on time every year without delay. The memorials that come up are also memorials for the better changes in the northern border.

All in all, Su Jingchen managed Linzhou very well, and the emperor didn't need to worry about it. Therefore, the emperor's deepest memories are those other states that made him burnt out.

Jun Tingye made a final decision, and two months later, Su Jingchen, who was far away in the north, received the imperial edict.

No need to go back to Beijing, just go directly to Yangzhou, Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department is in a mess right now, just waiting for Su Jingchen to take charge of the overall situation.

Yu Xiaolian wailed, "It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, they have to rush to Yangzhou, old emperor, can you do something good?"

Complaining is nothing but complaints, but they dare not resist the decree. They pack up their belongings, bring the original servants of the Su family and the servants newly added in recent years, and set off.

Walking in the wind and snow, although Yu Xiaolian's carriage had been specially thickened and sealed, it still couldn't stop the pervasive chill.

Fortunately, Yu Xiaolian has a magic weapon for cheating. From time to time, she will change to a warm baby that is fully charged, and then take out the duvet and wrap it around her body.

On the way, Su Yuntong's child was hungry, and Yu Xiaolian simply carried the child into the space. Anyway, the grass roots would not open the door of the carriage without her order.

After entering the space, feeling the comfortable temperature, Yu Xiaolian sighed comfortably.

Before departure, Su Jinghua wanted to share a carriage with her, but she refused, and the servant girl wanted to share a carriage with her to help her take care of the children, but she also refused.

Now it seems that it is right to reject them, it is better to be in the space, not cold.

Since the upgrade of Yu Xiaolian's space, she can hear voices within a few meters outside, so she is not afraid of someone looking for her suddenly.

After feeding the baby, the baby quickly fell asleep again.

Yu Xiaolian also lay down next to the child and slept comfortably.

It wasn't until Su Jingchen called her from outside the car at the post station that Yu Xiaolian carried the child out of the space.

There's no way, it's too cold, it's an official inn, they all have to stop to warm up and refresh.

Although the maids and mothers-in-law also rode in carriages, the drivers of the carriages couldn't stand the cold after spending too much time outdoors.

If they could get to Bohai City in four or five days, it took them twelve days.

As soon as Su Jingchen moved into the post station in Bohai City, County Magistrate Liu of Bohai City immediately paid him a visit.

There is no way, Su Jingchen used to be the county magistrate of Yangcheng, they are at the same level.

Later, Su Jingchen became the magistrate of Linzhou, and he was a fourth rank, and he was his superior.

Now Su Jingchen is the envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Transport, a third-rank official, and a fat job, is it okay if he doesn't come to see him!
Even though he was threatened by Su Jingchen and sent three years of salt and sea goods to Linzhou, magistrate Liu always hated Su Jingchen, but he also had Su Jingchen's help from the county magistrate to the county magistrate, and they also It is mutual assistance and mutual benefit.

County magistrate Liu invited Su Jingchen's family to have a big meal across the house.Then he ordered the wharf to leave a separate floor for Su Jingchen on the big ship, and even their horses and carriages were boarded.

Yu Xiaolian has traveled back and forth from Bohai City to Luzhou several times, but this is the first time she has enjoyed such a 'chartered boat' treatment.

It's better to be a high-ranking official, and there are people who hold it everywhere.

It took two days from Bohai City to Luzhou. Yu Xiaolian and his group lived on the third floor of the big ship, and the horses and carriages were placed on the first floor.

"Xiao Lian, when I first set out, I was still worried about Tongtong. I didn't expect this child to be so skinny. I was sick from the cold, but she was fine. Her little face is still so white and tender!" After dry food for dinner, Gao Shi came over to Yu Xiaolian's room to watch the children.

Seeing her getting closer, Yu Xiaolian simply stopped her, "Fifth Aunt, you have a cold, so don't wander around, go back to your room and lie down to rest!"

You have a cold, don't come here!

What should I do if I and my daughter are infected?
Gao smiled sheepishly, "I forgot, wind and cold are contagious, so I'm leaving now!

Xiao Lian, you have to take good care of the children. Man Yue and Jin Hua are also feeling uncomfortable, and their noses are starting to runny! "

Yu Xiaolian frowned, "Didn't Sharon show them?"

Sha Langzhong is a family doctor who was added to their family last year. The idea is that it is convenient to use and is available at any time.

"Look, look, the decoction is also being boiled in the ship's galley, and I think we can drink it in a while." Gao said as he retreated.

"That's good, let Fangcao make some ginger soup for everyone, drink two bowls for each person, warm up your body, and when the boat docks, Luzhou will be much warmer." Yu Xiaolian said, Close the door.

It's not that she's unreasonable, it's that her daughter is too young, if she catches a cold, she will be so distressed.

Su Jingchen didn't share a room with Yu Xiaolian.

When the imperial decree came, it also came with a large pile of files. Now Su Jingchen has to read these files when he has time to get familiar with the Lianghuai saltworks.

To say that these two Huai salt transport envoys are really fat jobs. Although they are only third ranks, even those first rank officials can't live as well as him.

The last Salt Transport Envoy was in office for 20 years, and he was about to retire, but he was reported for corruption, and his home was ransacked and questioned.

In fact, this can't be blamed on the person who reported it, but on Mr. Yin, the salt transport envoy, who is too greedy.

Great Liang has extremely strict control over the salt industry. All salt production bases in the country are state-owned (monopoly), and all salt merchants have to subscribe for salt by ticket and sell it.

That is to say, under the condition of strictly monopolizing the production of salt, the imperial court invented a subscription ticket (Yanyin, each ticket can buy 400 catties of salt). Only by holding it can merchants buy salt in the salt production area and make profits. , and the salt administration controls the salt merchants by controlling the circulation of salt quotations.

Then, under the monopoly of the place of origin (source of goods), Yanyin has become a rare commodity that can be lived in, and each salt official distributes Yanyin according to the amount of "filial piety" (kickback) of salt merchants.

This has almost become a 'hidden rule' that everyone knows well, and there is nothing unusual about it.

However, Mr. Yin, the previous salt transport envoy, was greedy. Not only did he use the increase in the population of the country, he reported to the court to increase the annual amount of salt triggers (increasing his own corruption chips).

Even in the last year of his retirement, he creatively started "futures trading" (pre-sale of the next year's index.) just to make a last fortune before retirement.

It was none other than Mr. Yin who reported Mr. Yin, but Mr. You, the next salt envoy who took over his errand.

In order to obtain the fat vacancy of the Salt Administration, Mr. You spent too much contribution, managed all parties, and was eager to make up for the shortfall as soon as he took office.

Like Mr. Yin, he is greedy and eager for money.

Mr. You, who had just arrived in office, did not show the slightest bit of reserve or shyness. Knowing that Yan Yin, who was in his first year of office, had been pre-sold out by Mr. Yin, the former salt administrator, he openly asked for bribes from various salt merchants.

Blatantly asking for bribes is clearly breaking the unspoken rules!
More than 20 years of unspoken rules of government and business, how can someone spoil the situation?

In addition, these salt merchants have already obtained the new year's salt quotation from Mr. Yin.Therefore, the "overbearing" salt merchants did not buy Master You's direct extortion of bribes.

They asked for bribes openly, so it can be seen that Mr. You has no bottom line when doing things.

Since the salt merchants "don't give him food to eat", he will smash the pot.

Therefore, Lord You decided not to do anything, but to light up this firecracker, so there was the secret letter in the Junting Yelong case.

Of course, Master You just wants to smash the pot.He didn't want to involve himself in it, so he handed over this secret letter anonymously in a shady way.

Jun Tingye knew that someone had touched his cake, so he was so angry that he would die, but he also wanted to know who put this letter on his table without anyone noticing it.

In the whole world, could it be the land of the king? Ever since Jun Tingye ascended the throne, besides guarding against the princes, no one is allowed to approach his study. Therefore, he can put this letter on his desk without anyone noticing it. Yes, it was either the cleaning lady or the eunuch who was accompanying him. Jun Tingye managed to drag out the person surnamed You with almost no effort.

After some investigation, he was even more furious when he learned that the surname You had openly asked for bribes as soon as he took office.

Clean up, clean up!
Cleaning up from top to bottom, from inside to outside, Jun Tingye's anger killed and exiled nearly a thousand people.

Although faced with the situation that no one is available for a while, Jun Tingye still thinks it is worth killing after looking at the treasury that has been filled up all of a sudden.

No one has anything to be afraid of, take the exam, take the exam right away, don't wait three years, take the exam next spring.

Su Jingchen flipped through the files for half a month before he memorized all these materials by heart.

Only in this way, when he goes to Yangzhou, he will not be in a hurry and can deal with it calmly.

When they arrived in Luzhou, they finally left the cold northern land. The further south they went, the warmer the weather became.

It can be said that they went from minus thirty degrees to minus five or six degrees.

Yu Xiaolian and Gao Shi separated in Luzhou, Yu Xiaolian and the others went to Yangzhou, Gao Shi, Sun Erji, and Sun Manhong went to Yuzhou, not in the same direction.

Sun Manyue insisted on staying with Yu Xiaolian, but Yu Xiaolian's persuasion was ineffective, so she let her go.

After they separated, Yu Xiaolian and the others walked for nearly a month before reaching Yangzhou.

It was just about to enter the city, but the carriage was on a mountain road, blocked by a landslide, the carriage stopped, and the voices of the local people came from outside, "It was fine a few days ago, and there was no rain. , How can this mountain collapse when it collapses?"

Yu Xiaolian lifted the curtain and looked, only to see the mud on both sides of the official road in front collapsed, sealing the official road.

"My lord, ma'am, this road is blocked. Should we walk around the mountain, or call someone to clean up the mud before we go?" He Jian came over and asked.
