Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 71
Besides, Yan Min and other merchants were afraid of Lin Ruhai's iron and blood methods, so they had to bow their heads temporarily.

One or two people who were unwilling to be at the mercy of Lin Ruhai just left the Yanzheng Yamen here, and they all went to the Yamen of Yangzhou they were familiar with.

Yan Min also didn't go back to the mansion directly, but went straight to the mansion of Liang Mancang, the magistrate of Yangzhou.

"I hope Mr. Liang will make the decision for us! Lin Ruhai acts like this, how can we wait for the salt merchant to survive!" Yan Min burst into tears, crying to Liang Mancang.

Liang Mancang looked at Yan Min with a sullen face and said angrily: "President Yan, I have advised you to wait at the beginning and not to confront Lin Ruhai, but you just didn't listen. Now it's okay, the two sides have come to this At this point, how will it end?"

For Liang Mancang's anger, Yan Min didn't seem to notice it at all, but he still looked respectful and said: "Master Liang, it's too late to say these things now, and the matter has come to this point, we must not let it go." He cut off the livelihood of Lianghuai salt merchants, and those who were captured, we have to find a way!"

Liang Mancang smiled anxiously and said: "Do you still want me to go to Lin Ruhai to release people? Don't say whether Lin Ruhai will agree, this matter has come to this point, those people will never survive! Do you really think The imperial court is blind! Can you hide what happened in Yangzhou City today?"

"The forest is like the sea."

Before Yan Min could finish speaking, Liang Mancang shook his head and said, "Even if I write a letter to defeat Lin Ruhai, the imperial court will never let the salt merchants in Yangzhou go easily! Don't even think about this matter, you always need to give the imperial court an answer." Confess!"

Yan Min still seemed to be worried, and said slowly: "But those people know a lot after all."

Liang Mancang raised his hand to stop his words, and said with a sneer: "Then let's not let them live! This matter will be handled by me, just to add fire to Lin Ruhai!"

He looked at Yan Min again, and said slowly: "Today, I will file a letter of impeachment together with several other colleagues in Yangzhou, but I am afraid that the few officials in Yangzhou are not enough, and you should also operate in Jinling! "

On Yan Min's wrinkled face, a light smile flashed across his face, and he said, "Lord Liang, don't worry, I will send someone to contact Jinling! In addition, the salt merchants involved in this matter are not only those in Yangzhou City, but other merchants in Lianghuai. Local state capitals can also operate one or two."

Liang Mancang nodded reassuringly. He knew the background behind Yan Min, and he was not afraid that things would fail if both sides worked together!
On the same day, some people ran around to contact each other, and the tense atmosphere permeated the entire Jiangnan officialdom again.

Lin Ruhai didn't know anything about the outside world, or even if he knew, he would only smile lightly. Before making a decision, he was already prepared.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai put all her thoughts on her daughter.

The back of the Yanzheng Yamen.

Lin Ruhai appeared in front of Jia Ying Daiyu in a different outfit.

Just looking at the first scene, Jia Ying found that Lin Ruhai was thinner than when they parted last time, and his complexion was extremely pale, but it was difficult for him to ask questions in front of Daiyu, and his heart was heavy.

"Master Aunt!"

Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded to Jia Ying, and said in a harmonious voice, "Ying'er has worked hard all the way! I ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and we two will have a good drink later."

Jia Ying didn't speak, but forced a smile and nodded.

Daiyu's thoughts are delicate, how can she not notice the change in her father, now her eyes are filled with tears, without the slightest bit of usual charm, she cried out with a worried face, "Daddy!"

Immediately threw herself into Ruhai's arms, crying silently.

Lin Ruhai still had a pleasant appearance, and said with relief: "Yu'er doesn't cry! Maybe it's because Dad has been doing more mundane things these days, so he inevitably lost weight! It should be a happy thing to meet you and my father and daughter. You haven't told Dad how your life in the capital is going!"

Daiyu held back her tears, but she didn't want to spoil today's joy, so she chatted with Lin Ruhai.

In the evening, Daiyu had dinner with several aunts, but Lin Ruhai and Jia Ying were the only ones in the room on the other side.

After finishing his glass of wine, Lin Ruhai sighed softly to Jia Ying: "It's not the right time for you to come back!"

Jia Ying hesitated a little, but still asked: "Master, but... because of the Yangzhou Salt Administration? I wonder if it's convenient to talk to my nephew."

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly and said, "It's already known to the whole city, so there's nothing wrong with telling you."

Immediately, they had a discussion with Jia Ying.

After hearing this, Jia Ying's complexion gradually darkened.

Yangzhou is the center of salt administration in the entire Jiangnan area. Almost all the salt sales to the Lianghuai area are sent from the Yangzhou salt administration office. Therefore, almost all salt merchants in the Lianghuai area are concentrated in Yangzhou City!
Right now, Lin Ruhai is equivalent to offending the entire Jiangnan officialdom!

When things got to such an extent, even the imperial court couldn't deal with it, Lin Ruhai charged forward, how could it be good!

Right now, I'm afraid I can only place my hope on the compassion for loyal ministers and officials in the heart of His Majesty today!
After a while of silence, Jia Ying asked, "Are you sure about what will happen tomorrow?"

Lin Ruhai's eyes were full of sorrow, and he put down his wine glass lightly and said, "I'm not worried about tomorrow's affairs, I'm afraid I won't stay in this position for too long! Since ancient times, it's not uncommon for people to go to the government to put an end to it. I I'm afraid that if you pay such a high price, it will be nothing in the end!"

Jia Ying suddenly thought of something in his mind, and said, "Why does my aunt fight against the entire Lianghuai salt merchant system with one person?"

Lin Ruhai frowned, and asked, "Ying'er, what's your opinion?"

Jia Ying said: "Since the ticket and salt policy has been launched, why don't my aunt open the ticket and salt to Cantonese businessmen, allowing them to subscribe for salt tickets and sell them in Hunan and Jiangxi?"

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai thought deeply.

Jia Ying continued: "It's not easy to fight against a faction with one person's strength. My nephew has heard people say that the salt merchants in Guangdong have already sharpened their swords. If they are brought here, they are not afraid that no one will fight with them in the future." The two Huaihe salt merchants compete!

Not only Cantonese merchants, but Shanxi merchants have been excluded from the core by Lianghuai salt merchants. How could they be reconciled to receiving only some leftovers from the Jiangnan salt industry?My aunt can still set aside some more salt to give Shanxi merchants a chance to claim and exchange them. The power in Zhongshanxi is not weak! "

Lin Ruhai said emotionally: "What name does Ying Er think it should be? If there is no good reason, I am afraid that even if this matter is brought to the court, it will only be dismissed."

Jia Ying thought for a while and said: "Nowadays, the imperial court's finances are empty, but the military expenditure on the nine borders cannot be reduced. This is also an extremely heavy burden for the imperial court. Why don't my aunt tell the Ming court, Xu Shanxi merchants use the military rations in Jiubian, and they can go to the south of the Yangtze River to exchange for Yanyin! Shanxi is close to the border town, and the cost of transporting grain to Jiubian will not be too much, and salt and iron are huge profits. What's more, it gave them a legitimate opportunity to intervene in Lianghuai Salt Market!"
