[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

"After so many years, Brother Yu is already a little Sanyuan." Jia Yucun's lower body has also grown three fairy beards. He was born with a wide face, a straight nose and right cheeks, and a beard After that, he added a bit of majesty, "I heard it earlier, and I wondered if it was you. When I saw you today, it really is."

"Sir, it's just a court exam." Lin Yu knew that Jia Yucun had offended his superiors because of his rebelliousness, and he didn't mention his official position that he didn't complete. Congratulations to Mr. for winning the gold medal."

Jia Yucun smiled, and said to himself: "It's just a wandering cloud and a wild crane!" Then he asked him, "Where do you go to study now?" .

"Now I'm following my uncle." Lin Yu didn't say that his uncle was this year's Xunyan Yushi. He was very interested to see what this gentleman thought. He remembered that in the original book, this Jiayu Village was In the name of not continuing to make money after illness, he got Daiyu's Xibin.He said conveniently, "Now, where does Mr. stay, students should come to see him."

Jia Yucun reported the name of a hotel, and was about to ask Lin Yu's uncle if he was the Yanzheng Lin Ruhai this year. He still had a few old friends in Yangzhou. People stripped it clean.Lin Yu is the chief case, so how could he be let go, not to mention that he lives in the Yan government's mansion, and people have seen him coming and going.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to speak, a scholar in green shirt came from the opposite side.Jia Yucun knew him, and it was he who took the title of Xishan Academy and invited him personally.

Xin Zongping himself is just a small scholar, but his grandfather is now the dean of Xishan Academy. He used to be a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. The emperor is not exaggerated.

Later, he resigned and retired to become the dean of Xishan College. In the Forbidden City, gifts are still given every year, let alone those princes and grandchildren who have been taught by him, which shows the prosperity of the holy family.

He didn't want to come. In this kind of place, everyone has a place to live, but he has two ranks of Jinshi. He said that he is not an official. If he is a scholar, he is a little higher than a scholar. What's the point? Woolen cloth?It's a pity, even for the sake of Xin Hanlin behind him, Jia Yucun couldn't help but show some face.He is just a little Jinshi who has lost his official status, how dare he compare with the famous Confucianism all over the world!

Xin Zongping met Jia Yucun first, and then he took Lin Yu and said, "Follow me quickly. Mao Xuezheng has been here for a while, but he didn't see you. I was looking forward to it!" I'm sorry, Xiaosheng borrowed the person first."

Jia Yucun hurriedly said: "Xuezheng is looking for him, and he should go there quickly. I can enjoy the scenery at my own pace, so I don't have to worry about it." Then, he told Lin Yu again and let him go.

Seeing that he was gone, Xin Zongping let go of Lin Yu's arm, and said with a smile, "From this person's voice, it sounds like I know you?" How can Yu be regarded as a simple scholar?

Lin Yu said with a smile: "He was an enlightenment teacher for me for two years in the early years, and he was used to teaching me. I'm afraid it might not change for a while." Then he asked him, "I just heard that Brother Heng said that Mao Xuezheng hadn't arrived yet. Why? Is it just a moment?"

Sure enough, Xin Zongping thought, when he went to the hotel to invite someone, he was so humble to himself as a young scholar, why did he suddenly become impolite? Hearing what Lin Yu said, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "You Believe it or not, Xuezheng has really arrived, and it is true that he called me to find you." Of course, it is also true to rescue him.

The two of them took two steps, and saw a theater shed was set up opposite the high-rise buildings by the lake, and there were people coming and going inside, and they were extremely busy.Xin Zongping himself is a vulgar person, and he didn't mean to look down on these low-level actors. He just had Lin Yu by his side, but he was worried that others would bump into him, so he hurriedly took him around and said, "Turn back I'll introduce you to another person." When asked who it was, he just smiled and said nothing.

Crossed the stone arch bridge and went up to the tall building.Mao Xuezheng saw Lin Yu behind Xin Zongping at a glance, and he hurriedly pulled him over like a treasure, introduced several other officials on the table with him, and asked him to eat the fruit.

The prefects of Yangzhou and Ji on one side smiled and said: "Those who don't know think it is your grandson, so much love."

"Who doesn't love his character?" Mao Xuezheng stroked his beard and sighed, "If there is a granddaughter in my family, I will take him home immediately. How can I take advantage of others." One line said Everyone laughed and said yes.

Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and had to drink tea in silence. This occasion was not the place for him to talk recklessly.

When Ji Zhifu saw the crowd laughing like this, Lin Yu remained calm and unmoved, unconsciously thinking about talent, so he pulled him slowly and asked who else was in the family, what books he read on weekdays, What do you like to do, etc., Lin Yu picked up the unimportant words and answered them one by one. Ji Zhifu was really satisfied, and was about to say something, but heard someone beside him interjected: "Since you live in Yanzheng's house, You know what the Yanzheng is busy with, but he didn't come today?"

Lin Yu glanced at it, and Xin Zongping hurriedly raised his glass to cover his mouth and said in a low voice, "It is Tongzhi Si Yue, the transfer salt envoy, from the fourth grade."

His thoughts turned, and he said with a smile: "Yue Tongzhi was joking, Tang Shu has something important to do, why don't you know?" Hearing what he said, Xin Zongping's mouth curled up into a cryptic smile behind the wine glass, and then instantly flattened .

The man called Lin Yu and said it, and he choked on his stomach full of tricks.Lin Ruhai is in charge of the salt government, and he is his immediate boss. The boss is so busy that he, a colleague, has a banquet outside without knowing it. It is not a good word to hear.He hummed in his heart, isn't he busy? I don't know how many people listen to his orders.He joked on his face and said: "I'm confused. Lin Yushi is no more than me, and he is busy." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he said in his heart that he was broken. They were all swept in.

He looked up, and saw Lin Yu holding tea with his head down and smiling, talking to the scholar beside him calmly.It was like an evil fire burning in my heart, the more I looked at Lin Yu's delicate side face, the more uncomfortable I felt, and when I glanced at the opposite stage, I had a vicious idea.Seeing that he didn't look well, the people nearby tugged on his sleeves, gave him a warning look, and motioned to Mao Xuezheng at the top.

This Yue Tong knew that he knew that this was not the time to make trouble, so he endured it, even with a three-point smile on his face.

Lin Yu looked thoughtfully at Yue Tongzhi's table, and sighed in his heart, even though he had sent someone back face to face just now, it can be seen that Lin Ruhai's job as a salt official is really difficult, even a small Even the little ones can shake their faces face to face.

So do you want to pull it?He thought about the method of drying salt in the space, and his heart is to wait and see again. Today's salt administration has a long-standing disadvantage, which lies in the government-supervised commercial sales system, that is, the government supervises the issuance of salt quotations, and then commercial collection, commercial transportation, and commercial sales .There are salt cookers in the government, who compile them as kitchen registers, and cook the salt. The salt merchants buy the salt, and then go to the government salt farm to buy salt, and finally distribute it.Among them, the government benefited from the two steps of salt introduction and salt purchase, so it vigorously cracked down on illegal salt.

If you really go to check, which salt merchant doesn't have a little bit of private salt?Originally, the cost of private salt was lower than that of government boiled salt, and naturally the profit was greater.Therefore, as long as the salt system does not change, it is useless to reduce the cost of salt, but the government and salt merchants will benefit more.

But if you want to reform the salt system, with Lin Ruhai's current situation, whether you can do it or not is another matter.When this paper is folded, it may be because he didn't get credit for it, but it will become his death talisman first.

If it was changed to an enlightened and sympathetic emperor, there might be room for a try.It's a pity that today's sage, or the emperor of this dynasty is not caring about his subjects.After all, to them, the servants are no more than slaves, not their own family members, so naturally they don't feel bad about changing them.

If it is said that the Supreme Emperor has been lenient for his own reputation, but blind tolerance has fostered the current crumbling government.Today, however, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, and there is no room for sand in his eyes.That's all, but it's a pity, judging from the situation of his cousin, the emperor doesn't have a big heart.

Mao Xuezheng kept Lin Yu for tea, said a few words, and asked Xin Zongping to take him out to play.This old and refined Xuezheng couldn't tell, he was just enjoying the wine and enjoying the flowers, and tasting the talents and learning of today's students, and the taste changed when his fellow acquaintances got mixed up.

Of course he was unhappy, but he didn't want to say much about the salt policy.Simply release the people and tell them to play by themselves, and everyone cleans up each other.

Lin Yu and Xin Zongping left the tall building, both heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

"The officialdom is beyond their control. It's really cold to see you today." Xin Zongping sighed.

Lin Yu brushed the hem of his clothes lightly, as if brushing off the unhappiness brought by that person, and said softly, "Why, are you afraid?"

"Why, if I'm really scared, why should I deal with such a troublesome thing." Xin Zongping said with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you to meet someone." He squinted his eyes to look at the other side of the stage, and said, "This It's time for him to take off his makeup."

Going around the stage and coming to the lake, the two of them saw a beautiful young man with a sword in his body.

"What are you looking at, so lost in thought." Xin Zongping smiled when he saw someone, and then said to Lin Yu, "His surname is Liu, and you can call him Xianglian. He was originally a child of an aristocratic family, but his parents died early and left him alone. Now I'm used to playing the role of Xiaodan in Fengyuechang. But don't look at him like this, he has good skills."

Then Liu Xianglian turned around and said with a smile: "What a careless person, where do you know me?"
