Chapter 253 All the salt merchants gathered in Lin's house, Lin Ruhai turned his face and refused to recognize anyone?

Yangzhou Patrol Salt Yamen.

Lin Ruhai watched the representatives of several salt merchants in Yangzhou vying to flatter him, and couldn't help feeling a little bit of pleasure in his heart.

Earlier, because of the salt tax, all these guys were pushy and complaining, and they looked like they wished they would never see him again. How could they come to the door now?

Hmph, didn't they hear that the salt industry was about to undergo a big change, and everyone was anxious to get angry.

"Master Lin, I've been doing my best on the salt tax over the years, and I haven't held you back, have I?"

You still have the face to say this, do you believe it yourself?

Don't want Bilian's stuff!
"Master Lin, there is an old saying: the salt in the two Huaihe Rivers makes the world salty. I wait for the salt merchants to have hard work and no credit. You can't ruin everyone's jobs, right?"

You have made a fortune by drinking the salt of human blood, and now you are showing off your sense of superiority!

What does it matter to me whether I can keep my job?
"Master Lin, you are one of our fellow villagers in Jiangnan. You can't turn your elbows away. If Umbrella does something wrong with the salt matter, the people of the world will suffer a great crime!"

Who is your own person?

Is there anyone who murders his own people?
You still worry about the people of the world, hey, you are so ridiculous!
"That's right, Mr. Lin, the salt merchants I wait for are big and successful, and I lost my livelihood for a while, and I can enjoy my whole life with that little money, but what about those mud legs who live on salt? Even if you Don’t think about us people, you have to think about them, right?”

Hey, this statement seems to make sense, wait, who said that those people have no livelihood?
Believe it or not, I will go to a memorial later to recruit those salt people who were oppressed by you, to ensure that they live better than now?
"Master Lin, aren't you still worrying about the salt tax? As long as Master Lin is willing to help me solve the predicament, we can guarantee that starting from this year, the annual salt tax can be paid another 800 million taels of silver on top of the original basis. .”

Hey, what a big handwriting, what did you do so early?
Just add 800 million taels, petty!

But it's useless to say more, I really can't decide on this matter.

"."

Rejoice!
Ever since I came to Yangzhou to serve as the salt censor, I have never been so happy!
Those annoying things I encountered in the salt affairs before, now I don’t have to worry about it at all, and it even exceeds expectations.

Once the imperial court really cooperates with Umbrella, based on the picture described by Director Tang, tsk tsk, the people of the whole country will be blessed!
These salt merchants are now looking like they can't wait to hook him up, and they will give them whatever they want. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it's too late.

If you want to surrender and lose half, that's fine.

However, here comes the problem.

He can't make the decision now!

The crux of the matter has already arrived at the capital of God, and it has been handed over to the court, so he can only resign himself to fate.

Anyway, as long as the cooperation is smooth and transitional before the start of the cooperation, after that, the court will naturally decide, and he can retire with success.

Lin Ruhai pressed his hands in the air twice to signal everyone to quiet down.

"Everyone, I already know your concerns. However, do you think I, the seventh-grade censor, can make the decision on such a major matter?"

Huang Botao, the richest man in Yangzhou and the president of the Salt Merchants Association, smiled.

"Master Lin, your words are too modest."

"We are not blind to what's going on outside the window. Although we don't know much about Umbrella's situation, today, only you can enter the Jingyuan. I think your relationship with Umbrella is better than mine. Should it be deeper?"

Hey, don't talk nonsense!
If someone else listens to this, they might think that I, Lin Ruhai, are secretly betraying the country and seeking glory!

What is the relationship?

I was just thinking about it.
Uh, when Lin Ruhai thought about Yu'er mentioned by Yu Chao, he couldn't argue for a moment.

He sighed and said, "President Huang, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. What are you guys doing here today?"

"Let me tell you first, I have to make decisions about cooperating with Umbrella, and the court has to decide. I'm a soft-spoken official, but I can't help much!"

President Huang smiled and said: "Master Lin is really too modest. Of course, on the issue of national policy, I dare not and cannot stop the general trend. I just want to follow the trend."

"After all, we and other families have contributed to the country for many years. We provide food and grass from Jiubian and provide taxes to the court. We can't spend money and efforts in vain in the end, right?"

Lin Ruhai said in her heart, didn't you get any benefits from this?
Every family is rich and full of food, what is the basis for these?
Isn't it all hard-earned money collected from ordinary people!
What you said is really like how much contribution you have made, do you still have to show some face?
Of course, Lin Ruhai didn't dare to provoke the other party at this time.

Ever since Umbrella announced that he would cooperate with Daqian to develop the salt industry, expand production, and reduce salt prices, all parties were suddenly disturbed.

If one is not careful, those fighters who live on salt may have their brains cramped, attack the quiet garden, and destroy the peaceful diplomatic strategy with Umbrella, and they will be in trouble at that time.

We can't give them no hope at all, otherwise, if they find that they can't solve the problem, they will solve the person who raised the problem, what should we do?

You must know that the king of Umbrella is still in the Garden of Tranquility. Once this happens, who can bear the responsibility if a war between the two countries is triggered?

Not to mention anything else, just because of the deterrence shown by Umbrella's artillery fire, Yangzhou, and even the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River were completely powerless to resist.

When the time comes, Umbrella will randomly send some people over, and if the war breaks out, the people will be in dire straits!
The Jiangnan area is not only a tax-heavy area, but also a major grain-producing area. Once it is affected, the entire Dagan will have to shake a few times. If it triggers a chain reaction, oops, I dare not continue to think about it.

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I know it, and the court also knows it. No one will forget your efforts."

I will definitely not forget that when the cooperation with Umbrella stabilizes, the imperial court will deal with you sooner or later.

Why are you guys all so rich!

"President Huang, everyone, what exactly do you want, or what are your plans, you might as well say it directly. If I can't make the decision, I should report it to the imperial court as soon as possible, and I must deal with it properly. Do you think this will work?"

After President Huang and the others looked at each other, they finally said: "Master Lin, we just don't know how we will consider the issue of salt in the future, whether it should be nationalized and unified, or let us participate in it, and have a good relationship with Ambre. What about win-win cooperation on the Latin side?"

That's right.

If the imperial court sends people to jointly produce salt with Umbrella, wouldn't that be equivalent to smashing their jobs?

The imperial court needs people and territory, and with Umbrella's technical support, wouldn't these salt merchants have to wait to die?

But if you let them participate in it, you have to talk about it.

It doesn't matter if you pay a price, as long as you can keep the source of wealth and don't let them suffer.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if the production of salt increases and the price of salt falls, as long as their interests are not affected.

After all, when the price of salt has come down, people still need to use salt. Maybe the consumption will increase. If the price goes down, won’t the interests be guaranteed?
Therefore, these things must be understood in advance.

It would be even better if we could find out about Umbrella's salt-making method.

Otherwise, they have to prepare for the worst.

It's either to find another stove and start all over again, or to go all out and fight, anyway, you can't wait to die.

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai had anticipated this matter a long time ago, and had a talk with Umbrella today, so at this moment, he can also say a little bit about it.

"Well, speaking of it, if you don't come to me, I have to come to you to talk about this matter."

"Today, as everyone knows, I made an appointment with King Umbrella yesterday, and I have to go to visit today."

"I have discussed this matter with Umbrella during the chat, so I have some clues."

"Of course, I can't guarantee that the court will not change in the end what I say next, but I can guarantee that I didn't lie."

When everyone heard it, they were impatient.

You should hurry up and say it. Who doesn't know that you can't make the decision? What I want is Umbrella's attitude and plans.

"Yes, Mr. Lin is honest and has a good reputation as a gentleman, so we can trust him, so please ask Mr. Lin to help us solve our doubts."

Lin Ruhai picked up the teacup slowly, took a sip, moistened his throat, and was about to speak, when Lin Fu came in suddenly.

"master."

Lin Fu approached Lin Ruhai and after whispering in a low voice, Lin Ruhai waved his hand to let him out.

"Oh!"

Everyone was shocked.

what happened?

Why did Lin Ruhai suddenly get angry and slap the table in front of everyone?
Could it be that someone couldn't bear his temper and made something happen?
But don't be like this!

President Huang tentatively asked, "Master Lin, what is this?"

Lin Ruhai didn't answer directly, but looked at each of them one by one, as if confirming something, before making a sound after a long time.

"Hmph, what did you say just now?"

"Didn't you hold me back?"

"There is still credit, right?"

"Then, I also want to thank you for caring about my health?"

Hey, where did you start talking about this?
Why do you suddenly turn your back on people?

Wait, what did he just say?

Concerned about his health?

Isn't this an irony?

Could it be that someone wanted to murder him?
Goujin, who is so blind, without everyone's consent, arbitrarily murdered the Yushi of Lianghuai Patrol and Salt!

Isn't this a joke about the lives of everyone and the whole family?
President Huang immediately stood up and said, "Master Lin, please don't get angry."

"I don't know what happened to make Mr. Lin so angry. If there is anything we can do for you, please don't be polite. I will do my best to serve you."

"That's right, Mr. Lin, you should be clear about what you said. I'm so upset, I don't know what's going on at all?"

"Master Lin, don't you mean that someone wants to murder you? I didn't do it. Don't blame me for this!"

"???"
