Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

It was the time of Muxiu, and there was no official business. Jia Jing held a book in his hand, squinted his eyes, glanced at it leisurely for a while, took a sip or two of warm tea, carefully squeezed the fine pastries, and thought about it for a while , with a leisurely look that envies others.

The other person was the old man. He had been outside for half a day, but he fell inside to enjoy the blessings. How could such a thing happen.Taking two steps forward, he snatched the teapot from Jia Jing's hand, paired it with the snack on the table, and devoured it hungrily. With his clothes, he was no different from a beggar.

Jia Jing was in a hurry and grabbed it.Both of them seem to be quite old, Shan Jiajing's "spoiled" body can't compare to Old Man Sun's agility when he often goes up to the mountains and into the sea. have to.

Old man Sun didn't like it, he smacked his mouth twice, but he really didn't taste anything special about that dim sum, it was just a bit salty, but this dim sum was actually salty?After sipping it again, I couldn't sing anymore. It was probably an illusion. Although the cooks in Ningguo Mansion were not the best in Sijiu City, they wouldn't be able to serve poorly made dim sum to the master, right?Seeing that Jia Jing still had the expression of dead parents, Dr. Sun said, my teeth are sore.

"Come on, how many snacks are you eating! What's the matter?"

How could Jia Jing stand up to his dislike, "This is not an ordinary dessert, this is made by my daughter, if you have the ability to ask your daughter to make it for you?"

After finishing speaking, Jia Jing slapped his head, cast a sympathetic look, and said, "Oh, I forgot that a certain lonely family has no daughter."

Old man Sun raised his beard angrily, "Who says I don't have a daughter, isn't my daughter right beside your daughter?"

Jia Jing doesn't stick to trifles, and doesn't care about things he doesn't care about. It took him a while to realize that Nanny Sun next to Jia Lu is the goddaughter of an old friend.The two looked at each other, thinking about your daughter and my daughter just now, and smiled very tacitly.

Jiao Da outside was quite relieved to hear the laughter. He followed Jia Jing's grandfather since he was a child, and when he grew up, he followed Jia Yan and Jia Daihua to fight everywhere.I'm fairly familiar with the brothers of the "Dai" generation, but the next generation of "Wen" children can only get along with each other. In addition, when the brothers of that generation were born, the world was fixed and the world was at peace. Their ancestors paid for the country and the family, but they are full of disgust for the "soldiers" and "regardless of dignity" of the veterans. Little do they know that these soldiers have long been eating meat and drinking with their ancestors , How can he be in awe of his "brother" who has not yet grown up?

Therefore, after Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan left one after another, Jiao Da, who was originally a great hero of the Jia family, received a cold reception. Fortunately, after making friends with Dr. Sun, Jia Jing woke up in time and was no longer arrogant. Reuse or refine marginalized veterans such as yourself.

In addition, the soldiers used to be young in the early years, and they didn't want to die in battles. They just went on a rampage and made great achievements, but their bodies were already broken. His medical skills are indeed superb, and more and more veterans are able to get rid of the torture of illness and enjoy their old age.No matter how violent Jiao Da was, he would not dare to be violent in front of his "benefactor". The better the relationship between the master and the benefactor, the happier they would be.

If Jia Jing knew that they thought so, and pushed everything on old man Sun, he would have to spit on them, if it wasn’t for Lao Tzu who came back from rebirth and tried to befriend this eccentric old man, you would have a chance to accept his kindness , it's Lao Tzu's idea for you to be reused again, and it has nothing to do with Old Man Sun!Otherwise, you will still have to spend time in the mansion like you did in your previous life, heck, although there are some reasons for staying in the ashes.

Fortunately, Jia Jing didn't know about it, and he was still racking his brains to ask Dr. Sun to come out of the mountain to see Lin Daiyu.After finally negotiating, he wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his head, and thought to himself, who the hell said that this kid has a kind heart, who gave him the title of genius doctor, think about the 500-year-old ginseng he just promised, Ganoderma lucidum, velvet antler, deep-sea red coral... The rich and powerful Mr. Jing expressed his heartache, but he still made the big money himself.

Dr. Sun has known him for many years, so he couldn't see his heartache. He glanced at him with contempt, as if to say that he is so stingy?

For a ragged old man to show such an expression to a gorgeously dressed nobleman, anyone in this era would say that this is definitely a joke, impossible!

"Don't you know the rules of my medical treatment? The poorer you are, the more you don't take a penny, and you even pay for medicinal materials. The richer you are, the more you receive. That Miss Lin you mentioned, tsk tsk, really has a background Not small, he was born in the direct line of the Lin family in Gusu, and after being the marquis of the founding of the country, his father was also the confidant of the emperor, and he was hand-picked as the inspector of salt and censor, and there are two Yue families who are backed by the duke's mansion. How can such a noble person How can there be no expensive consultation fees?" The word "salt" was also specially emphasized.

The system of exclusively buying salt and iron was always practiced by the ancient feudal government, but salt is different from iron. The iron ore mining, transportation, manufacturing, and final use of iron are all arranged by the government alone, and it is impossible for private forces to Intervene for half a point.

But salt is a necessity in people's life and an extremely important material form.In the early days, such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the government had the full power to act as an agent of salt and iron, and used means such as cutting off salt to deter restless areas. However, with the development of society and the increasing population, the demand for salt has exceeded the production of the government. When the ability is available, private production is needed. At this time, the official salt management method is: civil system, government collection, official movement, and official sales. Since the folks have the means of salt production, no matter how strict the government is, some salt will flow out. Sold out as private salt, it is inseparable like a genuine pirated version.

The things run by the government are like the shared ones in the 70s and [-]s. There are inevitably problems such as poor quality and high prices. On the contrary, private salt has become more prosperous. The world is in chaos, but it is impossible for the government to really let go of such a means of making money and controlling the people.

More and more people adhere to the Confucianism that does not compete with the people for profit, and the government no longer seizes on salt, and opens up sales channels, similar to the way of bidding, selling the right to sell salt to salt merchants, and firmly grasping the salt If the salt merchants have a legal source of salt, they will not take risks to manufacture illegal salt, and the government can get a lot of financial revenue just by interrupting the normal commodity circulation without much effort. .

However, this circulation method also has great disadvantages. If the salt merchants collude with the officials in charge of salt sales, the salt merchants will bribe the officials at a high price, obtain the right to sell salt from the government at a low price, and sell it at the market price. If you make a lot of money, the government will suffer huge losses.

The duty of the "Patrolling Salt Censor" is to monitor whether there is any illegal behavior in the transaction link between the government and the merchants, and go straight to Tianting.Regardless of whether those official salt merchants have committed crimes or not, they will show filial piety to this official who can pull his pigtails at any time, let alone in private.

Lin Ruhai had stayed in Huaiyang for more than three years, and Dr. Sun couldn't believe that he was as quiet and arrogant as he appeared on the surface, and he must have a lot of money in his hands.
