Originally, he wanted to see what was outstanding about Governor Lin, whether he was loyal to East Vietnam or loyal to the people. Qin Feng also felt that it was not easy to find a balance, but he did not expect that Governor Lin was extraordinary. At.Juqu Pavilion

He reported the matter of illegal salt truthfully, and the news was sent to the palace. Lin Ruzhi did not immediately issue an order prohibiting people from buying illegal salt, but at the same time submitted a petition asking for subsidies for the purchase of daily necessities in poor areas.

In his memorial, the prefect Lin cried out about the suffering of the people in the southwest. The serious and stubborn diseases were too severe, the people were suffering unspeakably, and many people had left their homes. Not only that, although the winter drought had been cured and improved, the grain harvest was not good, and agricultural taxes were too heavy. People have abandoned their fields.

This person first stated in the excerpt, and then cried out for poverty. He still remembered to throw the blame to the former prefect Li Shanzhao. The current situation in Southwest China was caused by his predecessor's poor governance. He, the prefect who came to finish the matter, was really in trouble.

Forbid the common people to buy private salt. The common people complain bitterly. In the end, they use chili powder instead of salt. People get sick easily. The sanitation and medical conditions in the southwest are poor and the fatality rate is high. We are already backward. If there are fewer people, won’t we become even more backward? ?

Lin Ruzhi didn't behave like a cold official at all. I thought he would be like Huang Tang, but I didn't expect him to be so smooth.

Shit the blame, cry for poverty, and just play like a fool!

Not only that, no one from top to bottom was offended, Cao Jing reproduced the entire excerpt, and the tone of the words was that he regarded Emperor Yuan as his savior, and wished that he would come to save him from the fire and water, so that he would be miserable.

On the other hand, Lin Ruzhi did not force the people not to buy private salt. He gave the people a chance to breathe and did not offend them.

What to do next, for Lin Ruzhi, it is entirely up to him. If he really wants to ban, it is not Lin Ruzhi who wants to ban, but the higher-ups. If he successfully obtains the subsidy for purchasing salt, he will have to deal with it. All can leave a virtuous name as an upright official.

This idea is not a clever one, and the actions are not without careful consideration!

"He is such a powerful person, it would be a pity to kill him." Qin Feng looked at Cao Jing, who had murderous intent in his eyes, and said, "There is a huge population loss in the southwest, is this Magistrate Lin aware of it?"

"Not yet, most of the people who have come to us have come to us in the name of going to other places to make a living. Moreover, many people have left their homes in the southwest before. Even if he has just noticed it, we have released the news that illegal salt is prevalent in the southwest. In a short period of time, he can only Focus on this."

"What's more, there are all kinds of messes left by Li Shanzhao waiting for him to clean up." Cao Jing said: "Now I want to know even more, if he asked for such a discount, whether the superiors can give the people the so-called benefits for buying salt."

Xiao Lingyao laughed out loud: "Not only does it take time to get the book from the southwest to Suicheng, but it also takes time to deliver it to that person. Now that Prime Minister Song is in charge of the cabinet, it is related to people's livelihood. He will not hide it and will definitely present it."

If it were the person from before, it’s not even sure whether this piece will ever see the light of day!

When it comes to private matters, Prime Minister Tang was quite involved.

"Even if this document can be successfully presented to that person, it still needs to be concluded and dealt with. It involves the price of salt, and the Ministry of Household Affairs also needs to be involved. How much time will it take to complete this process, even if it is possible?"

Cao Jing suddenly came over: "So when Lin Ruzhi acted like this, he was actually prepared for the worst. If he refused to approve, he tried his best and the people couldn't blame him. If he approved, it would be a political achievement and win over the people. Agree.”

"What's more, he bought time for himself, and he could think of other ways to solve this matter, which can be regarded as a hidden way of survival for himself." Xiao Lingyao shook his head and said: "Such a person can only serve as a magistrate, but also be an outsider.

Put it in the southwest.”

"This person's background is not obvious. His father was also elected in the past, but did not go further. Later he became a clerk in the local government and made a living by copying documents for the government. His mother was an embroiderer. This lady Lin also

He has one brother and one sister, and he is the eldest son in the family."

"Due to his ordinary family background, he was raised by his mother. Since it was not convenient for women to appear in public, he took his mother's embroidery to the market and sold it. I can be said to be well aware of the ways of life in the market and have not become rigid because of studying.

."

"He became a Jinshi through the imperial examination and then entered the officialdom. If we say that he also worshiped Taishi Tang, but Taishi Tang couldn't see him at all and preferred those children of aristocratic families, so he was marginalized in the Taishi camp.

It’s also a blessing in disguise.”

Qin Feng understood from Cao Jing's words that Emperor Yuan had a deep affection for the Grand Master of the Tang Dynasty and purged the Grand Master's party. However, Confucian Lin escaped because he was not favored and had no sense of existence.

"It can also be seen from this that this is a person who is good at business. It is no wonder that he came up with such an idea this time." Xiao Lingyao said: "It is true that this person has talents, but his mind is too exquisite. If you want to

Use it but also guard against it.”

Compared with Zheng Tong who was recruited from the southwest before, that person was much more sincere and simple-minded. He was as dedicated to the fortifications as Song Qingming. Just like Song Qingming's trumpet, he also wanted to excavate and utilize Lin Ruzhi.

You should be much more cautious.

Qin Feng signaled Cao Jing to continue, and Cao Jing said: "Lin Ruzhi is already married. He is married to the daughter of a sixth-grade official. Now he has a son and a daughter. He has two children. This time he went out, and his family came with him.

The family is not separated."

"His parents have never entered Sui City and both live in their hometown." Cao Jing said: "He is from Lingnan, not too far away. Our people have already gone there and will go to his hometown to investigate."

Not to mention, Cao Jing's desperate digging temperament makes him suitable to be the intelligence chief. This is to dig out all the eighteen generations of Lin Ruzhi's ancestors. Just imagine, if the new prefect in the southwest knew his true identity.

My pants are almost stripped off. How does it feel?

"It's surprising that the official who took over in the southwest is so slick. He can't tell whether he is loyal or traitorous. Why do you think this person wants to join in the evil, but he just didn't find the opportunity?" Qin Fengxiao asked.

Cao Jing had always been upright, and a smile appeared on his handsome face at this time. Xiao Lingyao said: "In this case, it is better to take another dose of strong medicine. The illegal salt circulating in the southwest recently is all released by us, so why not...

Tighten?”

After Li Shanzhao's incident, he was the one who took the lead in setting up the local private salt industry, so no new private salt companies poured in. Kuya's geographical location was advantageous, and there was a lot of surplus after the salt production increased, so we simply took this opportunity.

Send salt to the southwest and make a lot of money.

Good guy, Qin Feng thought to himself, if a woman is ruthless, there will be nothing wrong with a man. With this tightening, people will not be able to buy private salt, and they will have to spend more money to buy official salt at a regular price!
