Because of his loyalty, Lin Ruhai would consider the issue from the emperor's point of view and say what he said to Jia Yucun.
In fact, the different choices made by Jinling officials are ultimately due to different positions.
Of course, from being demoted to being reinstated, Jia Yucun knew how to think about himself.
So he listened to Lin Ruhai's words, but was not persuaded for the time being, because he still had to seriously consider his own interests.
At present, only a small part of Yingtian Mansion's accounts have not yet been clarified. Even if there are problems with these, they have nothing to do with the new prefect of Jia Yucun.
In other words, Jia Yucun has no crisis at all, so he is not busy making choices.
But he knows very well that crises also represent opportunities, and if done properly, it may save ten years of trouble.
His experience of being dismissed from office made him feel insecure in the officialdom, so he wanted to expand his official position, even targeting the center of the cabinet.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Jia Yucun frowned and thought, thinking about Lin Ruhai's words over and over in his mind.
Actually, Qian Ruiming came to see him a few days ago and was trying to guide him overtly and covertly to take sides, but was blocked by Jia Yucun.
He has been busy these days, collecting news from various government offices and Beijing, and at the same time carefully analyzing and considering it.
He has already clarified the general outline of the factional struggle, and it depends on what to choose next.
"There is a risk of choosing the wrong one. If you really want to choose, you can only choose according to His Majesty's hope as Brother Lin said." Jia Yucun thought to himself secretly.
But this will cause another problem. If you help the prince, you will offend Prince Rui, which is also a trouble for him.
Jia Yucun was extremely confused at the moment whether he should continue to act stupid and act dumb.
At the other end of the Xue family, Xue Pan also had a sad face.
He never thought of filing a lawsuit from beginning to end. It made him miserable to get to this point. Today, he really wanted to withdraw the lawsuit in court.
But thinking of the situation with the knife on his neck that day, Xue Pan couldn't help but shudder, and his thoughts of retreat disappeared.
"You mean Zhenjiang Prefecture didn't issue an invoice to us"
"Exactly"
After answering, the Xue family steward continued, "Our ship can't pass. , the grains bought can only be piled up, because the warehouses in Taixing are not enough, and a lot of grains are piled in the open air."
"If it rains, I'm afraid the grains will rot."

Xue Pan clenched his fists and said fiercely, "Those people in Zhenjiang Prefecture usually take advantage of us, but now they are trying to trip me up. They are really beasts."
The steward hesitated. Next, he still couldn't help but said, "Uncle, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the case in our government."
"I'm suing Hu Jin'an. How much does it have to do with the Zhenjiang government? That's nonsense."
Not everyone can see the general trend clearly. Even Jia Yucun had to collect a large amount of information and analyze it for several days to sort out the context.
At this moment Xue Pan retorted, the manager also felt that he was thinking too much, then no more words.
The steward said some other things before leaving the living room, leaving Xue Pan alone to drink.
"Uncle, the wife has passed the meal over there"
"I know, I know"
Xue Pan was very impatient and threw away his hand. The maid was afraid of some unreasonable disaster, so He quickly backed out.
Although Xue Pan has grown up, he has not yet married. In addition, there are only a few people in the big house, so they always eat together.
After taking another sip of wine, Xue Pan set off for the inner house.
"Look at you, what time is it now, and you still drink so much alcohol, why can't you grow up?"
Smelling the smell of alcohol on her son, Aunt Xue He couldn't help but start training, while Xue Pan sat there indifferently.
The maids and ladies quickly served the food, but Xue Pan had no appetite for the delicacies. He kept thinking about the emperor's mission.
"Why didn't Baochai come over?"
"Madam, I have just sent the message. The girl said she would come over after embroidering the handkerchief," the maid replied.
Aristocratic ladies of this era, in addition to reading and writing, also worked as female workers, and the latter was especially important.
"It won't take more than an hour and a half, why bother asking her to starve her body?"
When the voice fell, a voice came from the back hall, but it was Baochai. Came over with some maids.
"Mother"
"Sit down quickly" Aunt Xue finally smiled when she saw her daughter coming over.
The family of three ate for a while. Seeing his brother frowning, Baochai couldn't help but ask, "Brother is worried about the case."
My sister Bingxue is smart, maybe she can Thinking of a way, Xue Pan thought so and told the government about the difficulties.
"Little sister, what do you think we should do? You can't delay those grains, otherwise you will lose your head if something goes wrong."
What they have prepared is military rations. If it is not delivered on time, the Secretary will The punishment from the ceremonial supervisor will be extremely severe.
"Your Highness the Prince is here to suppress the Japanese. These grains are prepared for His Highness the Prince. Why don't you try to report this to the Prince?" Baochai replied softly.
Xue Pan looked guilty, "It's not impossible, it's just that I don't have an official status, so I can't deliver the news to the prince."
Although Xue Pan's grandfather was only a member of Zhongshushe, At that time, he was the confidant of the ancestor Zhu Shenzhuo. Although his official rank was low, his status was respected.
Xue Pan's father was a civil servant after all. During his lifetime, he held the title of director of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he was also a serious official.
When she thought of this, Aunt Xue felt her heart getting angry. The more she looked at Xue Pan, the more she felt displeased.
"Over the years, there have been many officials who have made good friends with the government. Why don't you find ways to connect with them?" Baochai frowned.
"Most of the people who came to borrow money before were blocked by me. Now I'm afraid of asking them for help."
"Tell me what you can do." When your father leaves, just say",
Aunt Xue againWhen he was about to train his son, he heard Baochai say, "I remember a letter from my aunt before, saying that Jia Yucun, the prefect of Yingtian, was recommended by my uncle's family before he came to Yingtian to serve."
"Brother, why don't you go find this person?" "Help"
"If he doesn't come to Yingtian, our family will offend him," Baochai said, looking at his brother.
"Since there is such a relationship, then I will give it a try."
Xue Pan was really anxious, so much so that he didn't even want to eat, so he got up and hurried outside. Go.
Baochai quickly advised, "Brother, don't rush for a while. It's getting late now. Why don't you rush to the house and go there early tomorrow morning?"
Thinking about it, this is indeed true. It makes sense, Xue Pan could only turn around and come back, sighed and started eating.
"Pan'er, you have to find a way as soon as possible to get the official position of the Ministry of Household Affairs, otherwise how can you support this family?" Aunt Xue sighed, with a sad look clearly visible on her face.
Amid Aunt Xue’s nagging, the family of three finished their dinner and talked for a while before they dispersed.
Walking in the corridor of the inner house without saying a word, Baochai stopped at the corner, leaned on the railing and looked at the stars in the sky, and finally let out a sigh.
The family was originally unstable, and now it is encountering these troubles. It is difficult to feel at ease in the precarious situation.
However, the elder brother who is the mainstay is unreliable, which makes Baochai not worry.
Behind her, only her personal maid Ying'er followed.
"Girl, what's on your mind?" Ying'er couldn't help but ask.
In her heart, the smart and wise Baochai is like a fairy in the sky, so why can't she solve her worries?
"What do you know?"
"Of course I understand. Is the girl thinking about her future husband?" At this point, Ying'er herself laughed.
Although they are master and servant, their relationship is not generally good, and they only dare to joke when there is no one around them.
Knowing that Ying'er wanted to make herself happy, Baochai did not get angry, but turned her face and said, "Ying'er, don't eat the jujube cake this month."
Hearing this, Ying'er was immediately dumbfounded. Please remember to collect it. The website is the latest and fastest without anti-theft. To find books and add books for free, you can join the qq group 952868558
