Jia Hu, a fan of wealth in the Red Chamber

Jia Hu pulled Wei Jiang forward, and Qi Qi saluted Lin Hai as a junior.

Lin Hai nodded with a smile, he was thinking to himself, there are rumors in the capital that Uncle Hu of the Jia family is not only on good terms with King Zhongyong, but also has a life-threatening friendship with the present day.Now it seems that the rumors are true.

It seems that these days, Lin Cheng needs to observe Jia Hu's behavior more. If it really looks like today, the plan in his heart can be implemented.

Having seen it briefly, Jia Hu took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai took it over and saw that it was a handwritten letter today.

After reading the contents of the letter, Lin Hai's heart skipped a beat, "This is..."

Jia Hu sighed, "You must have heard about the new tax law promulgated by the central government, right? This tax law will be officially implemented on the first day of March. I am afraid that the local government will not be able to implement it, so I have specially sent several imperial envoys. Coincidentally, my nephew is going to Yangzhou, so he took the post of observer of the new tax law in Yangzhou city."

Lin Hai knew about the new tax law, but what he didn't understand was that, with Jia Hu's official rank, he became an imperial envoy in Yangzhou directly, which seemed to be against the rules.It would be normal to change to Prince Wei.

Jia Hu smiled wryly, "Uncle doesn't know, this new tax law is just a temporary play of my nephew, it was originally a homework left to my nephew by my master. Who knows that it happened to be seen by today, but now I think my nephew's idea is very good, I discussed it with several elders, and after making some changes, I wrote it at the beginning of the year and announced it directly, alas..."

As for whether it was such a coincidence, who can tell?Conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't expect that this policy theory could be seen by Shen Tuqian.

Lin Hai was thoughtful.

To say that Jia Hu's idea of ​​the new tax law is indeed extremely avant-garde in this era, "Lighten the tax on farmers and emphasize the tax on business." He even proposed to collect taxes from monks, nuns, and overseas missionaries. !This is a mature taxation system in later generations, but it is too shocking to propose it today.

After all, with thousands of years of farming civilization, it is only natural for farmers to pay taxes for farming. Even in his previous life, it was only a few decades after the founding of the country that all agricultural taxes were exempted.

As for the mercantile tax, it probably touched some interests of the upper class. As soon as this new tax law came out, except for a few truly knowledgeable people, everyone else obstructed it openly or covertly.

However, no one expected that this time, today's determination would be so great.

Ever since he cooperated with Jia Hu, Fourth Lord Shentu has never worried about money.

Speaking of money, Jia Hu's pile of gold and silver is indeed a lot, but compared with Shen Tuqian, it is still a little bit worse.Even, that master's private treasury is richer than Daqi's national treasury.

With money, he deserves to be an emperor, with an incomparably tough back...

Moreover, he has also won the support of the old saints. Many people in the court have no choice but to accept their fate. Some people are still dying. This is the origin of their observers of the new tax law.

Lin Hai is also very helpless. The south of the Yangtze River is rich in salt, and there are several salt censors alone. The salt merchants are very rich, and their connections are spread all over the court and the field. It is not so easy to snatch food from these people's bowls!

Jia Hu saw what Lin Hai meant, and smiled, "Uncle, please don't worry, we already have countermeasures."

Only then did Lin Hai feel relieved. To Jia Hu, his nephew, he dared not treat him as an ordinary boy.

"So, I'm relieved."

The three of them talked about the past, and a little girl came over to reply, "Madam said, I haven't seen Young Master Biao for many years, and I really miss my relatives in Beijing. I want to invite Young Master Biao to meet up in the backyard and catch up on the old days."

Jia Hu frowned, and exchanged a glance with Wei Jiang, sure enough, he also looked a little unhappy.He is 17 years old, is it really okay to call him to the backyard so carelessly?

Lin Hai supported it, "They are all members of the same family, and they are not outsiders. There is no one else in the backyard, so it doesn't matter if you go."

The master had already spoken, so Jia Hu didn't say anything more, and after a little salute, he followed the little girl to the backyard.

When Lin Hai said that there was no one in the backyard, it didn’t mean that there were no aunts and concubines in his backyard, but that none of these concubines and aunts lived in the main courtyard where Jia Min lived. He was randomly sent to a certain side courtyard.

Lin Hai also couldn't help it, he was not a woman addicted to sex, but they were a small group of people, several generations of single passers-by, when they came to him, they were married to Jia Min for many years.

However, they had been married for many years and had nothing to do. Not only was Mrs. Lin anxious, but Lin Hai himself was also anxious to get angry. That's why Lin Yu was born.

However, what happened later caught Lin Hai by surprise. It was not until he was dispatched as Yangzhou Salt Inspection Censor that Lin Yu stayed in the capital because of Jia Min's fierce opposition.

This time, if Mrs. Lin hadn't been seriously ill and wanted to see this grandson before she died, Lin Hai would have forgotten that he had an eldest son in the capital.

Although Lin Yu is a bastard, he is Lin Hai's first child, and his feelings are always different.

Jia Hu followed the little girl into the teahouse, and Jia Min sat in the main seat.

Jia Hu looked up, but found that Jia Min was so thin that he really looked like he would collapse in the wind.

The heating in the room was fully turned on. As soon as Jia Hu entered the room, he was almost sweating. The maids serving the side were all wearing thin shirts, and their faces were red from the heat, but Jia Min was still wearing a thick jacket. .

The so-called paper man, I'm afraid that's all there is to it.His face was flushed by the heat.Compared with three years ago, it seems a little older.

Standing next to Jia Min was a well-dressed woman, who was holding a thin child in her hands. Looking at it with Jia Hu's [-] eyesight, the child was young, but she could already see that it was a beauty. .That child must be Lin Daiyu!

Jia Hu stepped forward to salute Jia Min, and asked the maid who followed him to present the gift he brought.

Jia Min looked at it, and a smile appeared on his face, "You have a heart."

She was born in a noble family, and she has been doted on since she was a child. Her husband's family is also a scholarly family, so she has a very good vision.Naturally, it can be seen that these gifts from Jia Hu are not for the expensive ones, but carefully selected, and they are all useful to their family.

Jia Min's expression was a little dazed, remembering that when she was a child, because of her mother, she never wanted to see her elder brother Jia She. Such emotions even brought her elder brother to marry a wife and have children from a young age. changed, and even worsened.

Now, she is already ill and blind, and the precious girl who was born half a lifetime, wants to take care of her orphans, and only her elder brother's family can do it.

It's just that some can't save face.

The aunt and nephew exchanged a few words, but Jia Min hesitated to speak several times.

Jia Hu sighed secretly, after all, she was her direct aunt, and no matter how much she didn't want to see her, it wasn't something she could just say.

"Auntie, is there something you want to tell your nephew?"

Jia Min bit her lower lip lightly, as if she had made great determination, "Brother Hu, let me ask you, did you bring Lin Yu with you when you went south this time?"

Jia Hu was taken aback, and immediately understood what Jia Min wanted to say next, "Auntie still doesn't want Brother Yu to be recorded in your name?"

"Should I...should I put him in my name?" Jia Min reflexively asked.

Jia Hu stared straight at her.Jia Min's eyes began to wander around, and that guilty look really made Jia Hu a little funny.

"My aunt is probably the most clear about your own physical condition. My cousin has just turned one year old. Have you ever thought about whether you can personally protect her from growing up? Don't say that there are still old ladies in the capital, although there are no elders. No. But, what kind of person is the old lady, don't you understand after all these years?"

Jia Min's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to refute, but unfortunately, he swallowed helplessly in the end.

"You should know that, taking advantage of Brother Yu's young age, you can record him as a son-in-law to raise him, so that in the future, you will have a brother to protect your cousin, so that you won't be bullied, but no one will protect you." .”

After saying that, Jia Hu didn't want to persuade him any more.If he hadn't been with Lin Yu day and night for half a month and got to know the child's personality, he would not insist on letting Jia Min record Lin Yu under his name. Even if he did so, it would be the best for both Daiyu and Lin Yu s Choice.Again, what does it matter to him?

Getting up to say goodbye, he looked at the quiet and well-behaved child again, alas, I still can't harden my heart.

He put his hand into his sleeve pocket and groped for a while, and when he came out again, there was a piece of crystal clear jade in his hand.

"This is a piece of warm jade that my nephew just got a few days ago. I heard that it can warm and nourish people's meridians. I think my cousin seems to have deficiencies. This is just right for her to wear." He said, took the warm jade and walked away Go to Lin Daiyu and the nanny.

Smiling at Lin Daiyu, Jia Hu's mood is extremely excited at this time, Lin Daiyu!How many dream lovers of Huaichun teenagers!Not only did he see her, but he also participated in her life, how could he be so excited? !

Putting Wen Yu on Xiao Daiyu's neck, Jia Hu glanced at the nanny Wang, remember what was the description of this nanny in the book?By the way, it is "old"!Looking at it now, it is indeed more than 30, nearly forty years old, how did Lin Hai find such a nanny for Lin Daiyu?

Jia Hu has wronged Lin Hai. As a baby girl who has been waiting for nearly half her life, Jia Min can be said to have devoted her maternal love to Lin Daiyu, from choosing a nanny to clothes, shoes and socks. the hands of others.

"Auntie, this jade is rare, and it is also helpful for my cousin's body. You have to get people to pay more attention to it, so don't lose it."

The expression on Jia Min's face softened. For a mother who loves her daughter like her life, nothing is more important than her daughter. "Don't worry, I will thank you for your sister."

Jia Hu was polite to her again, then turned around and walked out of the backyard, back to the front yard.

At night, under the service of the maid, Jia Hu washed off the dust all over her body, and was already lying on the bed ready to fall asleep, when a certain wolf who had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time came in again.

Jia Hu was lying on the bed, the heating in the room was fully turned on, she was only wearing unlined clothes, her hair was loose behind her back, and with her unparalleled appearance, she was truly magnificent, enough to fascinate many men, women and children.

Looking at Wei Shizi who came in with a smile, Jia Hu smiled, "I'm still thinking, how long will you bear it, and this is it?"

Wei Jiang turned his head and said to the maid waiting outside and Huai Qing who followed him, "Go down, you don't need to guard here."

Everyone bowed and left the room, leaving only Huai Qing and Jia Hu's maid Tian Lan guarding the outside in case of emergencies.

Wei Jiang walked to Jia Hu's bed very naturally, took off his clothes while walking, and when he got to the bed, pushed his buttocks to the side, "Come in, it's my turn today, I won't I'll let you fool me again."

Jia Hu was shocked, "Didn't we agree that whoever wins the fight will be on top?"

Wei Jiang rolled his eyes indecently, "That's what you said to yourself, I didn't promise you!" As he spoke, before Jia Hu could react, a wolf pounced on a sheep, and suppressed Jia Hu. Under the body, I don't know how many times I have practiced that skillful movement in private.

Just kidding, if you compare kung fu with violence, then he will always be crushed!Although it's quite comfortable down here, it's a matter of a man's face, so how can he do it if he doesn't fight for it?

Not long after, there was a blushing and heartbeating sound from this exquisitely furnished room. During this time, a burst of energy flew out from the tent, and the red candle that was still emitting light and heat in the room just "poofed" and the child is destroyed.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Jia Hu couldn't do the morning exercises that had been unshakable for several years, and slept until the sun was high before getting up.

Wei Jiang entered the room refreshed, saw him get up, and immediately stepped forward, very attentively, trying to help Jia Hu up.

Jia Hu rolled his eyes at him, "Okay, I'm not a porcelain doll, I'm not that delicate. Besides, you sleazy, you know, you're helping me, but you don't know, you thought you were going to murder me You, you still can't do the work of serving others, so just stay and go." Jia Hu looked disgusted.

Wei Jiang smiled, didn't take it seriously, and sat down obediently.
