Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 142 Lin Ruhai is coming (please subscribe)

The Xue family's affairs did not cause much turmoil in Rong Mansion.

To put it bluntly, to everyone in the Rong Mansion, the Xue family is an outsider after all.

They were just relatives living in Lixiangyuan. It would be difficult for everyone in the Rong family to have any sympathy for the Xue family's experiences.

At least until now, no one has dared to sit on Rong Mansion’s head and shit.

Here, Mr. Zheng Er no longer paid attention to the Xue family's affairs. Who said that the Xue family was not strong enough and had to work hard to get the respect it deserved.

At this time, he got into a secret trap and asked Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun to be his helpers.

In order to get Jinjin to relent quickly, under Jia Huan's instigation, Mr. Zheng rarely became cruel.

It was directly stated on the secret book that within half a year, in addition to Ning Rong’s Second Mansion having to pay back one million taels of silver owed to the treasury, at least one million taels of silver would be recovered from other large debtors!
In half a year, I obtained 200 million taels of owed silver for the national treasury. I am still very determined.

Therefore, Jin Jin, who was worried about money, quickly agreed.

However, it was easy to transfer Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, because after all, this guy had no foundation in the court and his performance in the local area was average.

It is enough to transfer him back to the capital and give him a post as a censor of the capital procuratorate.

, but wanting to mobilize Lin Ruhai is not that simple.

After all, the Yangzhou salt tax is related to state treasury revenue and is no joke.

Lin Ruhai did quite well. During his tenure as Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor, the annual salt tax met today's psychological expectations. He is definitely a capable minister.

He is not worried that if Lin Ruhai leaves office, there will be problems with the Yangzhou salt tax.

If that were the case, I wouldn't mind being cruel to Yangzhou officials and businessmen at all.

However, if you want to mobilize Lin Ruhai, you need the approval of the Supreme Emperor.

After all, Lin Ruhai was considered a member of the Supreme Emperor's entourage.

As for whether Lin Ruhai, who has been holding the dangerous position of salt patrol censor, will cause problems in his tenure, he doesn't care much about it now, and he even wishes it would happen.

The Supreme Emperor doesn't care, he cares nothing!
Only this time, Jia Zheng issued a military order, which now has to be taken seriously.

If it takes half a year to recover at least 200 million taels of owed silver, it would be a rare good thing for today and the court.

This amount of money is naturally not that amazing, but it is still extra income.

This year's treasury revenue has been basically divided up even before it reaches the capital.

Those 200 million taels of silver are the mobile silver in the hands of the Ministry of Revenue and today. It can play an important role at critical moments. This is called precious.

For the sake of money, I am still willing to take a trip now.

Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor had no intention of worrying about the money he owed, so he could easily achieve his goal today.

Then, when discussing with the cabinet elders at the Umrah meeting, we encountered a small obstacle.

Whether it is Lin Ruhai's placement or Jia Yucun's arrangement, the elders are not very satisfied!

Lin Ruhai can be regarded as returning to the capital with meritorious service, so he must at least be upgraded, right?

If he were to be promoted again, he would be a second-grade official, one of the most important bosses in the court, and could even stand on top of the mountain. How could Lin Ruhai get it so easily?

As for Jia Yucun, it is not easy to be transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and serve as the fifth or sixth-ranking censor of the capital, and there is a lot of opposition.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is a noble yamen, so as long as you are willing to do something, it is easy to get ahead!

As long as Jia Yucun does well, it is estimated that he will be officially promoted to a third-rank official in the imperial court within two years!

Such a third grade is much more valuable than the current third grade of Jinling Prefecture!

Two key positions were to be given up at once, how could the cabinet ministers agree so easily?

If there is no free space, we will not push it forcefully now, there is no need.

But Mr. Zheng's luck is really good. At this time, he asked to transfer Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun to the capital. There are really suitable vacancies for them.

Because of Ma Yuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Finance, the position of the right servant was naturally vacated.

Not long ago, after a court game, the former right minister of the Ministry of Rites was transferred to the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and there was a vacant position in the Ministry of Rites.

As for the left and right censors in the Imperial Procuratorate, all of them were transferred down the ranks recently and became chief envoys and envoys of the Lu region, and their positions were also vacant.

In fact, not only are there vacancies in the Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but there are also vacancies in the other six yamen, but none of them, including the current Hege Lao, can be given up to Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun.

In the end, after much discussion, Lin Ruhai was made the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.

As for Jia Yucun, he also took advantage of it and became the right-hand censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The transfer order was confirmed by the cabinet and then sent to Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun as quickly as possible.

Master Zheng Er was naturally very happy when he got the news as soon as possible. He even forgot about his unhappiness at being angrily criticized by several colleagues in the officialdom today.After returning home, he directly called Jia Huan to talk about the matter, and then said with a chuckle: "When the two of them arrive, life in the court will be much easier from now on!"

At this point, he hesitated and said, "Shall we send them a letter first so that they can prepare in advance?"

"What are you preparing for?"

Jia Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said humorously: "Anyway, I am going to Beijing to help collect debts. Is it possible that now that I am prepared, it will be easier when I collect debts?"

When Mr. Zheng Er heard this, he chuckled. Isn't that the truth?

We haven't yet determined which houses we will go to to collect debts from, so how can we prepare?

"Sir, there is news that Uncle Lin is about to come to Beijing. Do you want to say hello to the old lady in advance?"

Jia Huan reminded: "If the old lady finds out the news later, I'm afraid Uncle Lin will be unhappy because it was the master who brought him to the capital!"

"You reminded me!"

Mr. Zheng Er was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized and nodded to express his understanding.

It's not that he suddenly became smarter, but that he was too familiar with the old lady's behavior.

Although she usually looks cheerful, she must be well aware of what is happening in the house. Otherwise, why would Rongqing Hall need so many maids?
I really thought they were good-looking, these maids are all the old lady’s eyes and ears.

In addition, even if the second master Zheng and the first master are doing something, they must be informed in advance.

Otherwise, when the old lady finds out later, she won't look good on the two brothers.

To put it bluntly, the control over Rong Mansion will not be relaxed easily.

In particular, it is a major matter like the transfer of Lin Ruhai Jing. I did not mention it to the old lady when we were discussing and making decisions. Now that the official transfer documents of the cabinet have been sent out, if we don't know about it, the second master of the government will still want to live a quiet life in the future. , let’s just dream?

Sure enough, when the old lady learned that Mr. Zheng was trying to mobilize Lin Ruhai to come to Beijing, her expression never looked very good.

She didn't ask why Lin Ruhai was transferred to Beijing, but immediately asked why she didn't tell her earlier?
What else can Mr. Zheng do? Fortunately, he was mentally prepared before coming. He can only complain that he has been having a hard time in the court recently and urgently needs help to share the pressure.

Not only did he think of his brother-in-law, he tentatively recommended it to Jin Jin. Who knew Jin Jin would agree to it? He himself did not expect it to go so smoothly!

The old lady did not doubt that he was there, and she also knew that Mr. Zheng's days in court were indeed a bit painful.

There is no way to delve into this matter, so we can only let it go.

Her impression of Lin Ruhai could only be described as mediocre, with no joy or displeasure.

Of course, it may affect her arrangements for her granddaughter Lin Daiyu. It is still early now, so there is no need to be too anxious.

Here, Mrs. Wang was a little dissatisfied and asked Mr. Zheng why he didn't find a way to transfer her brother Wang Ziteng back to the capital?

Mr. Zheng was speechless and only said, "Civil and martial arts have different paths"!
Are you kidding me? Is he trying to transfer Wang Ziteng back to the capital so that he can continue to be the leader of the four major families?
In the future, in the court, should you listen to Wang Ziteng or Jia Zheng?
Besides, Wang Ziteng's current rank has reached the second rank. What position will he be transferred back to the capital to hold?
The commander of the Imperial Guards did not need to think too much. As for the deputy governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, how could he let Wang Ziteng serve as the founding Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises who were not dead yet.

Although Mr. Zheng Er doesn't know his brother Wang Ziteng's true thoughts, he also knows that he is an ambitious person, so it would be better to have less to do with him.

On the other side, Jia Huan had dinner and walked around the house with Brother Cong to eat.

Unexpectedly, they met Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu near their old place.

Sanchun and Xue Baochai were also there, and with the maids around them, it was really a gathering of beautiful women.

Now that they have met, Jia Huan and Brother Cong will naturally come forward to say hello. Who knows that the two brothers are young? There is nothing they can do about it.

"Hey, Brother Huan, are you Brother Cong?"

Tanchun, the elder sister, was the first to speak. When she saw Brother Cong next to Jia Huan, she couldn't help but be surprised.

Not only her, but the other little girls also opened their mouths and looked at Brother Cong in disbelief.

Suddenly, Brother Cong was at a loss, his face turned red and he didn't know how to respond.

There is no way, since this kid followed Jia Huan out of the house, he has eaten well and practiced martial arts hard, and he has grown very fast as if he had eaten food.

He was just in his early nine years, and his height and weight were no worse than those of an ordinary thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

The last time Tanchun and the others saw Brother Cong was during the Chinese New Year, and they hadn't seen him for almost a year, so they were naturally very surprised to see him suddenly.

"Haha, what's so surprising?"

Jia Huan chuckled, patted Brother Cong's broad shoulder, and said proudly: "Brother Cong has been practicing martial arts for more than a year, how can his body and bones still be the same as before?"

When the girls heard this, they immediately showed expressions of "I see", but they were no longer too surprised.

In fact, how could the bodies of ordinary martial arts practitioners undergo such drastic changes?

It wasn't because Jia Huan spent a lot of money to hire two well-known doctors who often supplemented Brother Cong's body with various medicinal diets and ointments.
