After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Not long after the sage left, Yan Jin gave Shi Nai a collection of poems, which he said were the works of everyone at the boat painting meeting last time.

Shi Nai looked through it, and felt that the level of these people is still very good, and it seems that they all have real talents and real learning.

"How about it, isn't it good?" Yan Jin was triumphant.

Shi Nai nodded: "Although it can't compare to the elegance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it still leaves a fragrance on people's lips and teeth."

"I invited you to go with me last time, but you didn't go, do you regret it now?"

"No." Shi Nai honestly shook his head.

"Huh?" Yan Jin raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and refilled his tea.

Shi Nai laughed and said: "The higher the level of you guys, the more you will make me look worse? If I go, won't I make myself feel uncomfortable?"

Yan Jin hated iron and steel and said, "You don't know how to be ashamed and be brave?"

Shi Nai chuckled: "My preference is not here, so naturally there won't be any big gains."

"Don't think about making progress."

Yan Jin shook his head, and turned to the serious business: "I'm going to seek a foreign release."

Shi Naiqi said: "You have done a good job in the Ministry of Industry, and it is time for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to retire. In terms of qualifications, the position of Minister of Industry must belong to you. You are also a serious imperial examination background, and you were a good fortune back then. As a scholar, it is not impossible to join the cabinet in the future. Why are you thinking of seeking release again at this moment?"

What Shi Nai said is the road that all scholars in the world yearn for.Moreover, Yan Jin has almost reached the highest point.

At this time, it is released outside, although it can also enter the cabinet after returning.But after all, local officials are no more noble than Beijing officials. In people's eyes, this is a detour.

Yan Jin himself didn't care, and said lightly: "The last time I saw the imperial physician, didn't you tell me not to let me eat raw fish stew?"

"That's right," Shi Nai said, "It's for your own good too. What, you stole it again?" At the end of the speech, Shi Nai became serious.

"No." Yan Jin showed a distressed look, "Speaking of it, it's all your fault. If you call the imperial doctor, you will be called the imperial doctor, and you even asked your daughter-in-law to go back and tell your aunt the doctor's order. With your aunt watching, how can I still Can you eat it?"

Thinking about the fact that he hadn't smelled fish stew for a month, Yan Jin felt that his life suddenly became gloomy.

——A life without fish stew is incomplete!

Shi Nai laughed loudly: "That's how I should treat you!"

Yan Jin glared at him angrily: "It's not big or small."

Shi Nai knew that he was not the kind of person who sticks to trifles.Therefore, I wasn't afraid of him at all, and didn't ask until I had laughed enough, "If you're going abroad, at least you have to be an inspector. If you're in a remote area, it's not impossible for you to be a governor."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry is the third rank, the inspector is also the third rank, and the governor is the second rank.

According to the usual practice, when Beijing officials are sent out, they must be promoted to a higher level.However, the procurator is the chief criminal law officer of a province, and he has real power, which is no worse than the Beijing officials.

Yan Jin said: "What do you think of the governor of Guangzhou?"

Shi Nai was startled: "Guangzhou?"

Seeing Yan Jin nodding, he was sure that he heard correctly.

"Isn't Guangzhou too far from the capital?"

"It's okay, just stay close to the sea."

Shi Nai's eyelids twitched: "What do you want?"

Yan Jin smiled like a cat stealing fish: "I have a classmate who is currently serving as a judge in Guangzhou. He wrote a letter a while ago, saying that people in Guangzhou like to eat sea fish and use sea fish to make fish stew. I went to The letter asked, Guangzhou people don’t get bloated.”

Shi Nai: "..."

— Speechless.

"You mean, the reason you want to be released is for a bite to eat?"

"Food is the most important thing for the people, so why not be stuttering?" Yan Jin said confidently.

Shi Nai was speechless: "Promise!"

But he still secretly asked the system: "System Immortal, if you eat raw sea fish, will you really not get bloated?"

The system quickly replied to him: "There are parasites in raw fish. But parasites in sea fish cannot survive in the human body, so it doesn't matter."

Only then did Shi Nai feel relieved, and gave up trying to prevent him from speaking out.

"If you really come to the seaside to be an official, I have a business here and want to cooperate with you."

"What business?" Yan Jin didn't mean to reprimand him for being full of money, but asked very seriously.

But Shi Nai suddenly shook his head again: "Forget it, this business has too many interests to shake, and it's too dangerous, so don't get meddled."

Yan Jin didn't take it seriously at first, but when he said this, he became curious: "What kind of business is it? It's mysterious."

But Shi Nai made up his mind and refused to tell, Yan Jin didn't ask until he left.

What kind of business did Shi Nai suddenly think of?

Naturally, it is sea salt.

However, the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are very powerful. If a large amount of sea salt flows into the market, the price of salt will be greatly reduced, and the interests of the salt merchants will be shaken.

Those salt merchants are very arrogant, and the backers behind them are also inextricably involved.At that time, it will not be enough for others to play with him alone as the servant of the household department and the governor of Yanjin.

"Host, if you can make everyone in the world eat salt, you will get a lot of luck."

"I know." Shi Nai said, "However, this matter has to be discussed in the long run. If something is wrong, not only will I lose my life, but the method of spreading salt will also become a tool for others to seek personal gain. And the common people, will you Still can't afford salt."

"The safety of the host is the most important thing."

"Thank you System Immortal for your understanding. I already have an idea. However, it takes time."

And he believes that this opportunity will not be too long.

******

Since he took over the task of supervising the country, the sixth prince only went to the household department to be on duty in the afternoon every day, and stayed in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace in the morning, and worked with the seventh prince to sort out the memorials of officials from various places.

The sixth prince is cautious by nature, and the prince specially taught him that he never makes up his own mind when things happen.

But the Seventh Prince is different.

Like the sixth prince, the seventh prince also returned to prison for the first time.This is an honor that even the third prince has never had, and it inevitably makes him feel a little ecstatic.

On the first day of supervising the country, the heavenly officials and hall officials of various ministries came to the Qianqing Palace to make appointments, and he acted like a guide to the country, dictating the affairs of the various ministries.

However, he had always followed the third prince in the past, and he had never had any serious errands, and he had never been in the sixth department.

Therefore, except for the official department headed by the third prince, he is a little familiar with it. The other five departments are talking about the wrong words, and even the members of the third prince's party can't help frowning.

He is good at observing words and expressions, but he is also a small-minded person.Seeing that everyone disobeyed his control, he tossed even harder.

"I'm going back today, and all the ministries will write a note, and my father will read it tomorrow."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all feeling dissatisfied.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials directly turned his head and bowed his hands to the Sixth Prince, and asked, "Sixth Lord, look..."

The sixth prince didn't want to intervene, but the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was a die-hard royalist, so he had to give him face.

Therefore, the sixth prince frowned, and reprimanded him: "Seventh Brother, stop making trouble! You adults are all very busy, how can you spare time to mess around with you?"

But the Seventh Prince refused to accept him.

In the eyes of the Seventh Prince, this elder brother is just a little transparent, a running dog of the prince, who doesn't even have a mother's clan, nor a wife's clan.

Now, for the sixth prince to dare to reprimand him in public, he is simply asking for humiliation.

The Seventh Prince sneered, curled his lips, and said in a strange way: "Why, Sixth Brother, your master is not here, and no one is pulling the reins, so you dare to flap around and bite people?"

These words are too insulting. The sixth prince is always short-tempered, but now his lungs are about to explode.

But he was still a bit sensible, remembering that there were many outsiders present, he didn't want to let others see their brother's jokes, he just frowned and said, "Old Qi, what are you talking about?"

"I'm lying? Ha ha!" The seventh prince's tone was full of disdain and mockery, "No one in the court knows that you, Brother Six, are a dog at the prince's feet. The prince told you to go east, but you dare not go west. If I tell you to lie down, you won’t dare to stand up.”

"You..." The sixth prince's eyes were red with anger, and he was panting heavily.

"What's wrong with me? I'm telling the truth." The Seventh Prince was terrified.

At this moment, standing among the lower ministers, someone suddenly interjected: "Master Qi keeps calling Brother Six, but insulting Master Six is... Cough! I don't know what Master Qi has become by himself?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two princes changed almost immediately.The sixth prince's anger was gone, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth; the seventh prince's face was distorted, his eyes were like knives, and he turned to the direction of the voice.

Those ministers quickly dispersed, revealing Shi Nai standing in the middle.

The Seventh Prince pointed at Shi Nai and asked viciously: "What did you just say?"

Shi Nai had a slight smile on his face, and the old god was there, "I am just expressing my doubts in my heart, and please ask Qi Ye to clarify my doubts."

Among the officials present, someone gasped softly, apparently feeling that Shi Nai was trying to kill him.

However, in Shi Nai's view, the Seventh Prince was jumping back and forth on the verge of death.No wonder the Seventh Prince was depressed all his life in his previous life, and even died of depression in the end.

Just his bad mouth can completely offend people.Not to mention, although the sixth prince is not narrow-minded, he is definitely not the kind of person who will do anything on his own.

"You... you are really good!" The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you?"

Shi Nai still had that smiling face, "Since the Seventh Master has assumed the responsibility of supervising the country, he should first remember the ministers of the court. Minister, Shi Nai, the left servant of the household department."

These words were almost a mockery of the Seventh Prince's high-sightedness and low-handedness. The Seventh Prince was not a fool, so he could hear it naturally.

"You are Bowling Marquis Shi Nai?" He suddenly smiled maliciously.

Shi Nai narrowed his eyes slightly, and replied, "It's the lower official."

The Seventh Prince said: "I heard that not long after your old man died, your eldest brother also went with him, and the title of Marquis of Bowling fell on your head. Your luck is really good. What do you think, Shi?" grown ups?"

Shi Nai raised his eyes to look at him, suppressed his smile, and said lightly: "I would rather my father live to be a hundred years old, so that I can serve the court wholeheartedly, in order to repay the sage's kindness, and not have to worry about family affairs."

The Seventh Prince alluded to him being suspected of murdering his elder brother, so Shi Nai quickly said: With the talent he thought, he could still stand out without a title.

However, he became a court official in less than thirty years, and he did a good job and was very convincing.

The Seventh Prince's face darkened again: "What a sharp tongue!"

Shi Naiquan deserved praise, and readily accepted it with a smile, "Seventh Lord, I'm overwhelmed."

"you……"

This time, the Seventh Prince was so angry that his liver hurt.

The sixth prince took the opportunity and said: "Everyone, go back and perform your duties."

In other words, everyone should pretend that they didn't hear that message.

"Yes."

Everyone should not respond too neatly, and the Seventh Prince will be furious for a while.
