Chapter 145 Official Creatures (Please subscribe)

Jia Huan and Jia Lian were sitting in the carriage together, so naturally they had to chat for a while.

"Brother Huan, your group of green-skinned gangsters are very powerful in Tongzhou recently!"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "He actually defeated the men and horses of the Cao Gang's helm, which is quite impressive!"

"Hey, brother Lian, don't talk nonsense!"

Jia Huan smiled softly, shook his head and said: "We can only say that we are friends, why are we not subordinates?"

"At my age, how can I possibly have some green-skinned gangster as my younger brother?"

"As for the battles in the rivers and lakes in Tongzhou, I have occasionally heard about them. They are all quite normal competition for interests. There is nothing to say!"

"As long as the normal order of the canal is not affected, why bother with so much?"

Jia Lian narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "No need to explain to me, outsiders think so anyway, even if you want to deny it, you can't deny it, but these guys have to be restrained and don't do anything excessive!"

"Don't worry, Brother Lian, I made it clear before!"

"Catching oil and water from the canal will be enough for them to live a prosperous life with plenty of food and clothing in the future!"

"If you are still not satisfied and insist on committing crimes, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"There are a lot of guys who want to be on top, and there are a lot of people helping to keep an eye on them. If something happens, just kill them directly!"

Jia Huan said calmly: "If I can support them up, I can naturally make them fall into the abyss!"

"You kid..."

With a smile on his face, Jia Lian was quite shocked.

If it weren't for the fact that it was Jia Huan sitting across from him, he would have suspected that this kid had something wrong with him.

It's so scary to be able to speak such cold and heartless words with a relaxed tone.

Anyway, Jia Lian must have been shocked just now.

This kind of cold-blooded ruthlessness that does not take human life seriously has only been seen in story novels.

"Just take care of yourself!"

There's only so much that can be said.

Jia Lian has made up his mind not to get involved in Jia Huan's affairs in the future.
After noticing the subtle changes in Jia Lian's expression, Jia Huan showed a strange look on his face.

This guy doesn’t know what he’s thinking anymore?

He has his own way of dealing with the green-skinned gangsters under his command.

There is basically no direct money exchange, but benefits are obtained in the form of a share of the cooperative business.

Regardless of whether it was an unnecessary act of taking off your pants and farting, if you really encounter official trouble, at least you can prevaricate on the surface and give yourself more time to react.

Of course, as I said before, Ningrong Street Hall does not encourage his green-skinned gangsters to actively expand their territory.

If the green-skinned gangsters under their command are too motivated and motivated, they will naturally be responsible for the management and operation of the territory they have built with the help of Tangkou, and Tangkou will not interfere and will only pay fixed dividends.

There will not be anyone under him who has a huge territory and is too powerful.

All Jia Huan needs is to ensure the smooth flow of his own business after these guys become passive.

In the era of feudal imperial power, if you could do this, you would already have gold and silver in disguise. It is no exaggeration at all. Logistics costs were the most terrible.

The quality of the official road from Beijing to Tongzhou was pretty good. The carriage was not bumpy and the speed was acceptable. We arrived in Tongzhou before noon.

We casually found a restaurant in the business district near the pier to have a meal and a meal. Naturally, it was Jia Lian's treat.

This guy is starting to get excited. As a doctor in the Qing Dynasty Department of Yunnan Province under the Ministry of Revenue, he is responsible for supervising the water transportation in the Jinmen and Tongzhou sections, and he still has great power.

No, during the meal there were many rich-looking guys who came over to say hello and toast.

However, the way these guys looked at Jia Huan was quite strange, which made him quite unhappy.

Why, I haven't seen Jia Lian at that age. Even if he has a son, he won't be too old, right?

That's right, he instantly saw the clues from the weird eyes of these guys. He thought he was Jia Lian's son. What a fool.

Feeling unhappy, the meal naturally ended hastily, and Jia Huan still ate all the dishes on the table.

Before the sun had deflected in the sky, the official ship Lin Ruhai was on arrived in Tongzhou.

Also arriving at the same time were three large ships specially designed to transport the Lin family's belongings. Judging from their drafts, it was obvious that the load capacity was not light.

Jia Huan followed Jia Lian and went to the dock to meet Lin Ruhai.

There was no need to expect the environment of the dock to be very good. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai took a government ship and had a special dock for docking. It looked quite clean and tidy.

But despite this, the strange smell that wafts from time to time at the berth next to the civilian boats is really unbearable.

Think about it, are there any unclean things in the food and various basic living supplies that were taken off those civilian ships?
When Lin Ruhai appeared, Jia Huan couldn't believe his eyes!
There are no descriptions such as personable and gentle. He is just a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion and a body as thin as a bamboo pole.His eyes are quite bright, and he looks like a person with extraordinary experiences.

It can only be said that fortunately the skin on his face is still smooth, otherwise with the half-white hair on his head, it would be easy to say that he is an old man over fifty years old.

Obviously, Jia Lian was also surprised. After Lin Ruhai got off the boat, he hurriedly came forward to greet him and introduced Jia Huan next to him.

"I've met Uncle Lin!"

Jia Huan followed and bowed with his hands raised, without any intention of speaking.

But the way Lin Ruhai looked at him was quite surprising?
"You are Brother Huan, you are not yet eight years old this year, right?"

Seeing Jia Huan nod, he immediately asked curiously: "How do you grow your bones? I guess you are no worse than an ordinary boy of eleven or twelve years old, right?"

Jia Huan suddenly realized that Lin Ruhai was "happy to see the hunter".

My own health is not good, and my daughter's health is also not good. Suddenly seeing Jia Huan, who is young but extremely healthy, I naturally want to ask more questions and gain experience.

"Run more, move more, practice more!"

Jia Huan chuckled and replied: "My body is a bit worse than Brother Cong's, he is strong!"

Jia Lian explained at the right time: "Brother Cong is my concubine, one year older than Brother Huan!"

"Okay, okay, your body and bones are so strong at such a young age!"

Lin Ruhai smiled heartily. It was just the normal reaction of a sick elder to see a healthy junior, and there were no other thoughts.

Jia Huan has no intention of showing off, and there will be plenty of time for contact in the future.

Even a fool can see that Lin Ruhai is not in a good state at this time.

There is still a strong smell of medicine on his body, and it is obvious that he has not stopped taking medicine on the ship.

When he arrived at the official post in Tongzhou, Jia Lian asked his uncle if he wanted to stay in Tongzhou for two days to recuperate and wait until his health got better before heading to the capital.

Lin Ruhai waved her hand and refused, saying that the repairs would be completed overnight and she would set off the next morning.

Here, the old housekeeper of the Lin family also spoke next to him, saying that the Lin family's mansion in the capital has begun to be cleaned.

When the master comes to Beijing, he can move in immediately!

Seeing this, Jia Lian didn't try to persuade him. To be honest, in front of a court official like Lin Ruhai, he, a newcomer in the officialdom, was still very stressed.

Fortunately, he himself had official duties, so he apologized and left when the time was almost up.

Naturally, Jia Huan wanted to stay and chat with Lin Ruhai about the capital.

This person's body is indeed not very good, and he has to cough for a while to say a few words, but his energy is quite good, and he is very interested in what Jia Huan said about the capital.

He didn't talk about the more exciting things, he just talked about what he knew and the more reliable rumors he had heard, mainly focusing on the court and official circles.

Sure enough, Lin Ruhai was quite interested in this!
No matter how gentlemanly he is described in the original novel Red Mansions, he is still a thoroughly official creature.

He is very interested in power and changes in officialdom.

This information can only be known if you live here in the capital for a long time.

It seems quite ordinary, but for a shrewd being like Lin Ruhai, even trivial things can have a different flavor.

This is why, as long as there are still ambitious officials, they are eager to come to the capital.

There are many opportunities here and there are many kinds of news.As long as you seize an available opportunity, you may be able to be promoted, which is much easier than struggling in the local area.

Most of what Jia Huan said was related to Xungui Group!

No matter what, Ningrong and his wife are now core members of the Xungui Group.

Otherwise, if he goes against the second master of the government to repay the money owed to the national treasury, the major forces of the Xungui Group, which are big borrowers, will never spare him.

At the moment, just gently pushing Mr. Zheng to the brazier to roast him was already a great honor.

Within the Rong Mansion and on Ningrong Street, the most circulated information was the information about the major noble families. As for the civil servants, there was relatively little information.

Lin Ruhai listened very carefully. Naturally, he figured out something from some of the things Jia Huan said and the rumors, and his expression was quite changeable.

The Lin family itself also belongs to the noble group and is one of the marquises among the Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

However, the Lin family followed the path of counselors, similar to Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty. He was a relatively rare literary figure in the noble group.

If he had not been born in this way, Jia Daishan, the second Duke of Rongguo, would definitely not have chosen a simple Tanhualang as his son-in-law during the heyday of Rongfu, and then fully promote his rise to power.

What a joke!
Jia Daishan was not only Duke Rong, he was also the absolute leader of the second generation of the Eight Dukes who founded the country.

Whatever you do, in addition to considering the interests of the family, you must also consider the interests of the entire Xungui Group!
If he had not sacrificed his life to protect the Supreme Emperor and was seriously injured in the battle to depose the Crown Prince, and soon died due to the severity of his injuries, the momentum of the Founding Group would not have declined so quickly.

If Lin Ruhai wants to quickly establish a foothold in the court, or even go further, the Xungui Group will be his greatest help, even more reliable than his fellow villagers of the same year!
