Daiyu lightly hit Jia Qiang with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Let's go quickly! Look at Daddy, I've been running around all day, and I don't know if I can take it or not."

Aunt Mei said: "Look at her complexion is not very good."

Hearing this, Jia Qiang and Daiyu stopped joking and hurried to Zhonglin Hall.

……

Lin Ruhai's complexion was not bad, it was ugly!

It wasn't all due to physical exhaustion, but his face was very solemn and dignified.

When Jia Qiang and his party entered Zhonglin Hall for the first time, seeing Lin Ruhai like this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Sir, are you still in good health?"

After seeing Jia Qiang, Lin Ruhai sighed softly, and straight to the point said the shocking thing: "Qiang'er, in front of Jingling today, Zhao Dongshan assassinated me with a firearm, but was stopped by Zhao Donglin who accompanied him. Zhao Donglin died to save me, Zhao Dongshan was ordered to be killed on the spot by the emperor."

When Jia Qiang heard this, she was stunned.

Aunt Mei cried out in surprise and hurried forward, while Daiyu shook her body, her face was pale and she could barely stand.

Jia Qiang first supported Daiyu, and then said completely incomprehensibly: "Sir, even if Zhao Dongshan hates him, he shouldn't assassinate Mr. Song Zhou, above... what is assassinating Mr.?"

When Lin Ruhai said these words, perhaps he was warmed by the affection of his family, but his complexion calmed down a lot, and he said in a gentle voice: "He is too far away from the emperor, and there are many imperial guards guarding him. Song Zhou... I am afraid he will look down on you." Song Zhou's. As a teacher, killing him as a teacher will make the emperor's new policy unopened, and the general will die first. Not to mention the great decline in morale, even the emperor's prestige will be hit. After all, many people are spreading the word, The emperor and I, the monarch and his ministers get along well. Therefore, Zhao Dongshan assassinated me when the emperor was about to take full control of the imperial power. This heart is not poisonous. If it weren't for his younger brother Zhao Donglin... I never thought that he would replace me I block it."

Jia Qiang said in a deep voice: "Zhao Donglin asked for help before, but after I refused, he wanted me to help hide some money. Of course I refused. In the end, he entrusted his son Zhao Bo'an to me. Because of the name of a master and apprentice, Besides, Zhao Boan didn't know much about world affairs, he was only obsessed with weaving and dyeing, so I agreed. I also told my husband before. After Zhao Donglin got the promise, he told me before leaving that he would repay me. I didn't expect, He will repay me in this way... this Zhao family, really deserve to die!"

After a pause, he suddenly said in surprise: "No, sir, Zhao Dongshan is only a civil servant, how can he have such blood and courage? Besides, where did he get the firearms? Behind this, there must be someone who supports and encourages him !"

Lin Ruhai said softly: "It's not easy for you not to be blinded by momentary anger. But right now, there is no proof. The Embroidered Clothes Guards are investigating, but most of the things like this can't be found out. At this moment, it would be more appropriate to keep it secret than the Daxing Imperial Prison."

Jia Qiang frowned, although she also knew that Emperor Long'an had just taken over the power and took down the Zhao family. To fill the deficit of the imperial court.But we can't let the fire continue to burn, otherwise Jingchu's old ministers will be in danger, and they will hug each other instead, then the situation will be unfavorable.

However, when Lin Ruhai was assassinated, he only killed the Zhao family, and because of his suspicion, he let go of the instigator behind it, which really made Jia Qiang feel dissatisfied.

He asked Lin Ruhai, "Sir, what about Jing Chaoyun?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head slowly and said: "Jing Chaoyun asked to resign from the position and beg for the bones to become an official, but he was not allowed. The emperor not only excused him, but also pardoned his sister, Zhao Dongshan's wife, and allowed her to return to the Jing family."

When Aunt Mei heard the words, she was immediately unhappy and said, "Why is this so?"

Jia Qiang's expression turned weird, she blinked at Lin Ruhai, Emperor Long'an's move was a bit cruel...

Lin Ruhai laughed softly, and said: "This matter was definitely not planned by Jing Chaoyun. Because Jing Chaoyun was the worst victim of such a thing. He never wants to see such a crude thing happen."

Jia Qiang explained to Aunt Mei: "Besides, the Zhao family was wiped out, leaving only Jing Chaoyun's younger sister alive, and her two sons will also be executed. After returning to the Jing family, there will be no chaos? Dying is harder. The harder it is for this woman, the harder it is for Jing Chaoyun. But..."

He changed the subject, looked at Lin Ruhai again and said, "That's it?"

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly and said: "What else do you want? By the way, the emperor originally wanted to send me a chariot to send me back, so I naturally couldn't accept it. I also rewarded four guards of the Dragon Guards and four palace servants... all of them I firmly resigned. Well, the emperor's kindness is so great, if you are dissatisfied as a courtier, you just don't know what to do. Qiang'er is here today, is there something to do?"

When Jia Qiang heard this, she glanced at Daiyu, and Daiyu looked over with a feeling in her heart, and gave him a hard look with her beautiful eyes, telling him not to talk nonsense.However, there are also some small expectations in my heart.She was a little rebellious...

Jia Qiang coughed dryly, and said with a smile, "I just came to see the master, and the junior sister..."

Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu and smiled, Daiyu's pretty face flushed and she bowed her head in silence.

Aunt Mei took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "Let the master and brother Qiang talk about serious business, and the girl will follow me to the kitchen."

After the two left, Jia Qiang's face immediately changed, and she told the news that Jia's mother got from Aunt Xue with a serious expression, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "Sir, what did Jia Jing think about that incident?" ? They dare to touch this kind of thing?"

Lin Ruhai also frowned, and slowly said: "Walking up the right path, you are afraid of suffering and tiredness, so naturally you want to go on the evil path."

Jia Qiang laughed angrily: "Then they are not afraid of death?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "People who are self-righteous usually think that others are fools..." Seeing that Jia Qiang's face was really ugly, Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Qiang'er, don't worry too much, those people were almost dead back then. .Even if there is someone alive, threatening the Jia family with this, it is still a matter of the Dafang family in the East Mansion, you don't know about it at all. With the relationship between you and the palace, this matter can only be regarded as a trivial matter .If the Dafang people are accepting the title, it will be a catastrophe."

Hearing this, Jia Qiang calmed down a little, and said, "That's good... Sir, there is one more thing. The leader of the Cao Gang, Ding Hao, has come to Beijing, and he sent a greeting card at noon today, saying that he will come to the door at night. The Cao Gang is beneficial. There are disadvantages. If the family is the only one, it is definitely not a blessing. Of course, this is for the public and private. I want the fleet under my name to go in and get a share. Now the grain transported to Beijing by water is about 400 million stones every year. It costs no less than 20 taels to transport one stone of grain."

He had read the "Complete Book of Water Transport of the Ministry of Households" before, and there was a record in it: "Only one stone of normal grain is used for transportation, and the consumption varies from three to four buckets. In addition, there are rice for nourishment, gift, tipping, and meals. There are also such things as kicking, steady jumping, dumping baskets, cabin cushions, etc. In Ding, there are moons, in ships, repairs and building are needed, in Qina, there are more light money and mats, and the needs of yamen servants are in food. It's just an excuse to disturb, and the next thing is to challenge the foot price, which is still not enough."

In short, the cost of transporting a shiliang far exceeds the cost of a shiliang itself.

Therefore, what the water transport industry guards is not just a canal, but a golden river!

the most important is……

"Mr. has always had the ambition to replace the flawed water transportation with sea transportation! However, some people have tried it in the previous dynasty. The cost of 400 million shi grains is between 200 million and 600 million shi grains, and the cost of sea transportation. Only 400 million shi. The reason why the innovation cannot be achieved is because too many people's interests are involved in a water transport. Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents. It is absolutely impossible, sir, to go directly to sea transport, and there will be a lot of resistance. If not I entered the water transport first. Firstly, I can numb the enemy's heart and make them feel at ease. They don't think that the Ministry of Households will engage in sea transport. Second, it is also a more important point. Sea transport will not happen in a day, and it will take a long time to turn around and test. During this time period, water transport There will definitely be strikes and transportation. If you have your own water transportation team, it will be much safer."

Lin Ruhai heard the words, and said slowly: "This is a plan to build plank roads in the open and hide the old warehouse?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I'm not mature enough to think..."

Lin Ruhai smiled and asked, "If that's the case, what will happen to your fleet after water transportation is changed to sea transportation? As far as I know, river boats are not allowed to enter the sea."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "I won't make it big, and in fact I won't. So even if water transport is changed to sea transport one day, the canal still needs transport capacity. Sea transport is from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Tianjin. And many cities on both sides of the canal , the commercial river transport required is sufficient to feed my fleet."

Even before he crossed over, there were still dense ships running on the big rivers.

Even if most of the canal has been abandoned, that is after the rise of the railway network...

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile: "Since you have such a plan, can you have a good way to persuade Ding Hao to let you enter the water transport for a share?"

Jia Qiang chuckled, and said: "It's nothing more than pulling the tiger's skin and pulling the flag, and using the dispute over sea and water transportation to frighten him. This time, I want to play the role of Gao Yanei and bully others with power! Do you dare?" Let me enter the water transport, and I will go to sea transport!"

"Hahaha!"

Chapter 535 Three Thunderbolts!

into the night.

Ning Mansion, the front hall.

Li Jing, Sun Qin, Gao Long, and Shang Zhuo stood in the hall, and Tieniu led 72 old brothers to line up from Yimen.

Jia Qiang was only wearing plain clothes, like an ordinary scholar, sipping tea slowly.

There was another person in the hall, with sharp eyes, and he was a very smart person at first sight.

But every time his gaze swept over Jia Qiang, he felt a little apprehensive.

Obviously, after suffering a lot of losses, I left a lesson...

After a while, the iron bull suddenly strode in, clasped his fists like thunder, and said: "Master Hou, the people from the Cao Gang have arrived!"

Jia Qiang raised her chin slightly, and said, "Broadcast."
