To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 340: Love in the Red Mansion is as Deep as the Sea 21
Jia She and his men hid in a pit in the woods and dared not say a word. He did not have the ability of Jia Daishan to know his own strengths and weaknesses.
When the result was almost decided, Jia She and his men were covered in blood from the prey that was shot to death by arrows.
The old soldiers who followed him were also very smart and immediately tore Jia She's neat robe into a mess.
Their hair was all messed up, and everyone looked like beggars, shouting and yelling for protection, and then they mixed into the emperor's team.
The emperor had been the Prince of Taiping for more than thirty years, and his background was far richer than that of his two sons.
The emperor looked at the third prince who was stabbed to death seven times and the fifth prince who was shot into a sieve. Only then did he remember that he was a father.
The emperor looked up to the heavens and sighed: "What is this for? Just for that chair, they are killing each other!"
After saying this, the emperor could no longer hold on and fell backward with a loud bang. The ninth prince quickly supported the emperor.
Only one of the accompanying imperial physicians was left, and he ran out from the crowd trembling with fear.
After the imperial physician gave the emperor acupuncture treatment, the emperor slowly opened his eyes.
But everyone gradually discovered that the emperor was drooling while talking and half of his body was numb.
The emperor died of a stroke, and this news caused an uproar in Tiewang Mountain.
All those who were not dead packed their bags and followed the convoy back to Beijing.
Servants in families whose members had been killed in action collected the bodies of their masters, while ten thousand imperial guards toiled all night to clear Tiewang Mountain and eliminate the remnants of the Third and Fifth Princes.
The troops, filled with wounded soldiers, marched heavily towards the capital. As high-spirited as they were when they left, they were in such a state of disarray when they returned.
All the ministers were not qualified to go home and were all waiting in the palace. At such a critical moment, everyone was patiently waiting for a result.
The emperor's condition gradually stabilized after the treatment of the imperial physician, but it was difficult to understand what he said unless you listened carefully.
His right hand was no longer working and he walked with a limp. The emperor smashed a whole cart of porcelain in his bedroom.
He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to lose his power. But in his current situation, he was helpless even sitting on the throne.
Moreover, troublesome things came one after another. The treasury was empty and the mess left by the third and fifth princes needed to be dealt with.
When the news of the murder of the third and fifth princes reached the palace, the queen hanged herself on the spot.
When Concubine Zhen knew that her son had died so tragically, she went crazy.
These two people really had a mortal feud, and they died together.
The emperor made a difficult decision. The third and fifth princes were demoted to commoners, and their families were imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum.
All of his accomplices were caught in one fell swoop and no leniency was shown. Adult men were beheaded immediately and their female relatives were exiled to the Jiaofangsi.
The emperor was troubled again when he saw the crazy Concubine Zhen, after all, she was the woman he had doted on for so many years.
He merely ordered the Jinling Zhen family to be confiscated and the adult males to be exiled to the frontier. Let the wet nurse Sun's property be left alone and let her live in glory!
After all, he was leaving some dignity for his favorite concubine. The wet nurse had served him since he was a child and he couldn't bear to do it.
What upset the emperor the most was that he had to abdicate. A real man cannot live without power for a day.
The emperor has sat on this throne for more than 30 years, and he doesn't want to give it up at all.
However, the emperor understood that a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Under desperation, the emperor abdicated the throne to the ninth prince and retired to become the emperor emeritus.
The new emperor ascended the throne to great jubilation. He first named his biological mother, Concubine An, as Empress Dowager, and then named his own princess as Empress Zhonggong.
Jia Yuanchun had not been in the palace for long, but because of her status as a concubine, the emperor gave her a high position and named her the virtuous concubine.
This time she was not given the posthumous title of Consort Xian De, but was directly given the single-character title of Consort Xian De.
The Jia family has been in a state of panic these days, but now that the victory has finally come, they have finally won a great victory.
The family also had a virtuous concubine, which was one of the four concubines. This time, the Jia family could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The retired emperor retired and the emperor took over his father's mess.
It wouldn't matter if I didn't accept it, but once I did, I was shocked. There were only a little over five million taels of silver left in the treasury. What could I do with that? The border troops hadn't received their salaries yet, and the soldiers still hadn't gotten winter clothes.
Last year, there was a locust plague in six counties in Shaanxi, and the harvest was almost wiped out. The little money in my private treasury was simply a drop in the bucket if I put it here.
The emperor was extremely anxious. He could forget about the private treasury of the retired emperor. The old man had been keeping an eye on his private treasury since he abdicated. Even if the sky fell, he could not expect the old man to take out a big dime.
The emperor racked his brains but couldn't find a breakthrough!
He was short of money, but now that he had just ascended the throne, if he asked the ministers for the money owed to the national treasury, it would be overestimating his own abilities and he would definitely get nothing and get into trouble.
The emperor was so anxious that he suddenly remembered someone, his money bag Lin Ruhai! This guy could make him two million taels of silver in a year hiding in Yangzhou.
Lin Aiqing was also a meritorious minister for his ascension to the throne. The emperor's eyes lit up. Who is this person? This is the Minister of Revenue left to him by God!
This kind of person who can make money must be placed in the Ministry of Revenue. Putting him in other places would simply bury Mr. Lin’s talent!
The emperor felt relieved. "Wu Guifu informed the Imperial Edict Office to draft an edict. Lin Hai, the Imperial Censor of Salt Inspection at the Lantai Temple, was promoted to Minister of Revenue and Vice Governor. He was to go to Beijing immediately to take up his post."
Order Yang Qi to be the Imperial Inspector of Salt and to go to Yangzhou immediately to hand over official duties to Lin Hai!"
After the emperor's intention was conveyed, the Imperial Edict Office did not dare to delay and quickly wrote the imperial edict, which was then sent to Yangzhou by a special person at full speed.
It was rare for the Lin Ruhai family to have a few days of peace. In the past few years, the third prince and the fifth prince were like a knife hanging over the heads of the Lin family.
Who can bear the constant fear for their lives? Finally, these two wicked people died quickly.
Lin Ruhai began to carry out the finishing work. The emperor would definitely send a new salt administrator to take over. After all, it was safer to hold the purse in his own hands.
Lin Ruhai also wanted to leave the quagmire of Jiangnan as soon as possible.
Lin Ruhai had made a fortune in Yangzhou over the years, and he had personally settled the salt administration's accounts. This kind of thing must never be given to others to use as a weapon.
The maritime trade business that he had done with the Emperor had long been left to the Ninth Prince to run alone. He was responsible for arranging his own business and deciding who to send to stay behind.
Everyone was busy dealing with their own issues and finally managed to finish them in a month.
Then the emperor's edict arrived. Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's really hard!"
Lin Ruhai could guess the situation of the Ministry of Revenue with just his toes, but a good cook cannot cook without rice!
After escaping from the quagmire of Yangzhou, he fell into the volcano of the Ministry of Revenue.
There is no way. If the king wants his subjects to die, he will be disloyal if he doesn’t die!
Lin Ruhai could only pack up his belongings while handing over the business to Yang Qi. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai had a good habit over the years and kept all the money he earned in his own space.
