If Lin Ruhai can take care of his body properly, that's fine, no matter what, he can last for 20 years, which is enough.

I'm afraid, after returning to Beijing, the old ministers at the beginning of the court, and the Long'an officials who were interested in the new government were demoted out of Beijing one after another. There was only one Lin Ruhai, and his situation was difficult, which was self-evident.

At that time, all kinds of burdens will be on the shoulders, and there will be endless arrows and arrows. Even a strong man can't stand it, let alone Lin Ruhai's weak and sickly body.

If so, Lin Ruhai died prematurely...

Thinking of this, Jia Qiang's eyes darkened a little, no matter what, with the support of the Lin family's father and daughter for him, he would not let Daiyu repeat the same mistakes in her previous life.

……

Yangzhou West City, Qi Garden.

When Jia Qiang saw a few bunches of green bamboos and a few white walls with ink tiles in the Yamen of Yanyuan, she felt that she had a taste of the charm of Jiangnan.

Then if he entered Qi Garden, he might really linger and forget to return.

Mountains, waters, lakes, stones, grass, trees, pavilions, pavilions, every place is not luxurious, but every place must be full of natural beauty, without any suspicion of decoration.

Qi Taizhong, a legendary salt merchant of a generation, sat on a rattan chair with an indifferent expression in the Qi Family Baicao Hall.

Watching the weeping willows in the bleak cold wind...

With a white beard and hair, he doesn't look old, and his eyes are as calm as rivers, seas and lakes.

Around the rattan chair, Qi Wannian, the head of the Qi family, Qi Wanhai, the second son, Wanben the third son, Qiyun, Qidi, Qizhu, and other grown-up sons and grandsons of the Qi family stood respectfully.

The youngest grandson, Qi Fu, knelt on the ground dejectedly, not daring to breathe.

Qi Wannian bowed and said softly: "Father, it has been found out that it was Brother Fu who was instigated by Qi Heng from the old five family, and asked him to go to the Pearl Pavilion..."

The fifth child in his mouth is his concubine brother.

The Qi family attaches great importance to the distinction between prostitutes and concubines, only the prostitutes are qualified to discuss the "character" ranking, and the concubines are not even qualified to be named after "characters".

For example, if they are grandchildren, Qi Yun, Qi Di, Qi Fu, etc. who are descendants of the descendants are the "Zhu" generation, while Qi Heng and Qi Yan do not have this qualification.

In the family genealogy, all the copies are entered...

Naturally, the descendants of concubines will not be reconciled, so the secret struggle has never stopped for a moment.

Qi Taizhong doesn't care about these things, the direct lineage has already taken advantage, if he is still needed to be able to suppress the family, then there is no need for the Qi family to exist.

He waved his hand lightly, unwilling to listen to Qi Wannian's words, but asked: "Yun'er, tell your father about your business plan with that Jia Liangchen and the Xu family, as well as what Jia Liangchen suggested to you. them."

Qi Yun's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders. He stepped forward and bowed in response: "Yes."

Then, he told about the discussion with Jia Qiang and Xu Zhen last night.

After the three brothers Qi Wannian finished listening, they all frowned in unison.

Of course, the Qi family does not only make a living in the salt industry, restaurants, tea shops, cloth houses, tea gardens...

The Qi family has more or less been involved in any profitable business.

However, the Qi family has never been a small owner with less than [-]% of the shares.

Not to mention, the Qi family has to make contacts and shops here...

After Qi Yun finished speaking, Qi Taizhong asked: "What do you think?"

After Qi Wannian and the two brothers looked at each other, he thought for a while, and said slowly: "It's not worth it. Although it seems that Han Bin and Lin Ruhai are rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, they are now in the position of losers in the court. Even if Han Bin will be able to return to court in three to five years, and what awaits him is still an extremely difficult situation. Not to mention Lin Ruhai, a half-dead person, it is hard to say whether he can live for another three years."

Qi Taizhong said "Well" noncommittal, and asked, "Jun'er, what do you say?"

Qi Yun didn't dare to look at Qi Wannian's slightly gloomy face, and replied: "Old ancestor, my grandson thinks that although what my father said is very true, there is one point that we should pay attention to."

Qi Wannian frowned and said, "Which point?"

Qi Yun said: "That is today's determination to reform the great politics!"

Qi Wannian yelled: "With the Supreme Emperor here, what major policy will the emperor reform?"

Qi Yun lowered his eyes and said slowly: "After all, the Supreme Emperor is already old, and the dragon's body has always been bad. Isn't the reason why there is such a big disturbance this time is to seek a posthumous name? This matter is for the emperor to make concessions, Han Bin Wait until the ministers are demoted out of Beijing. In the future, the emperor will still be the emperor. After three to five years, what should come will eventually come. With the reliance and determination of the emperor, there are half-mountains who bear the hope of the world, Lin Ruhai, Li Han, With capable ministers such as Zhang Gu, Dou Xian, and Zuo Xiang, the New Deal may go through hardships, but it is bound to prevail in the world. The Salt Administration should be one of them, and it will even bear the brunt of it. So I think, at this time, if we can It is always a way out to get in touch with them in advance.”

The three Qi Wannian brothers had complicated expressions when they heard this.

They watched Qi Yun grow up little by little, and they also knew that he was getting better and better, and he was known as the first son of Yangzhou Mansion.

But I still didn't expect that he had such vision.

In comparison, the other juniors looked particularly bleak...

Qi Taizhong also showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, turned his head, glanced at his eldest grandson who was brought up by himself, and said with a faint smile: "Since you think so, then do it like this, it's just a small business. ... By the way, if you have a chance, take that child home, I want to meet him."

As soon as this remark came out, the Qi family was all horrified.

Ge Yinqi was too loyal, and before the last southern tour of the Supreme Emperor, he had rarely seen foreigners.

After the Supreme Emperor made his last southern tour of Yangzhou, the old man of the Qi family had never seen a foreigner...

Chapter 181

Yanyuan Yamen, Zhonglin Hall.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and said with a helpless smile, "You, why bother arguing with the half monkey again?"

When Jia Qiang bid farewell to Han Bin earlier, Han Bin taught him a few words before boarding the boat, but Jia Qiang pushed him back...

Jia Qiang was even more helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Guzuzhang, where is it that I want to quarrel with him? It's because Banshan Gong regards merchants as treacherous in his heart, and he wants to persuade me to 'reform evil' and help him wipe out the salt merchants. How is that possible?"

Lin Ruhai asked curiously: "Why is it impossible? You should know that none of the eight major salt merchant families did not drink salt blood. Among the salt merchants fighting privately, which family did not have a hundred or ten lives in their hands? That of the Qi family The old fox, he was born as a salt cooker, and he has been a wealthy family for more than sixty years. Do you know how many people he has killed? Which of these people should not die?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "Maybe so, but I think existence is reasonable. Even if the old fox of the Qi family has killed people, he must have killed his colleagues, the salt merchants with bloody hands, not the common people. In addition, it is The court's salt policy and imperfect supervision have caused all this. Of course, the court wants to settle accounts after the fall, and bring them to justice after the evidence of the crime is clear. I agree with both hands. But it is impossible to use me as a knife. Impossible."

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Do you think Banshangong and I don't want to? It's just...not to mention, only the old fox of the Qi family spent at least 20 years dissolving his 60-year-old criminal evidence one by one. It's clean, and now, I can't even find a sufferer, let alone evidence of crime. Although the other houses are not as clean as the Qi family's, but after imitating the Qi family and spending a lot of money, now even if they can leave some evidence of crime, Maybe it's just some trivial problems. How can the court bring them to justice? That old fox from the Qi family is really a headache."

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Even so, the half-mountain shouldn't let me touch porcelain, right? I'm just a grassroots person who doesn't even have any fame. It is true that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, but it is still far away from the rise and fall of the world. For the sake of the ambition in Banshangong's heart, I am required to touch porcelain. Even if I can shake my prestige for a while, how difficult it is for me to act .When it is liquidated ten or twenty years later, what happened today will be my curse."
