"oh?"
The smile on the emperor's face gradually faded, "Rongguo Duke's Mansion...how did they get into trouble with Xuan Yiwei?"
"Returning to Your Majesty is not a big deal."
The old eunuch said cautiously: "Lin Ruhai's daughter has been staying in Jia Mansion these years, and this time she wants to go south to Mingzhou and Jiangzhe Mansion to visit relatives with her cousin.
As a result, the people of Jia's family refused to let him go and made rude remarks, so they were surrounded by Xuanyi guards.
Oh, by the way, your majesty, Miss Lin's cousin, must also have an impression that he is Song Xuan, who handled a major flower picking case in Jianghuai Mansion some time ago. "
"It's him..."
Hearing Song Xuan's name, the emperor's face looked much better. He had a good impression of this rookie Xuan Yiwei.
How could he not have a good impression? After all, just one case had added more than 10 million taels of silver to his royal treasury. For such a capable minister, he wished he could have more.
But the next moment, he frowned and said, "Is Lin Ruhai's daughter living well in Jia's house?"
"It's not a bad thing. The old lady in the Jia family loves her granddaughter very much. But after all, no matter how good the Jia family is, it is not our own home after all. It's probably not a good feeling to be under someone else's roof."
The emperor pondered for a moment, tapped his fingers on the table, and said: "Lin Ruhai works as the salt patrol censor in Jiangzhe Prefecture in Mingzhou, and I value him very much.
Salt affairs have always been a problem for me, Dazhou. Over the years, he has been in charge of salt affairs for me there, and the problem of the emptiness of the treasury has been greatly alleviated.
A few days ago, Lin Ruhai gave me a discount. Some salt merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are no longer able to sit still. "
The old eunuch suggested: "Your Majesty, Song Xuan is going to Jiangzhe Mansion to serve as a hundred households. Should he ask Xuan Yiwei to give him an order to cooperate with Lin Ruhai in handling the salt affairs?"
The emperor waved his hand, "There is no need to intervene, I will not give Lin Ruhai any explicit support. This person is the person I am optimistic about joining the cabinet in the future, how can he not even be able to handle this trouble!"
...
After Song Xuan drove the carriage out of the city, he headed all the way to the dock.
This time in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas of Mingzhou, the land route is too far, and there are many bandits in the mountains. The water route is faster and safer.
To be precise, Song Xuan and others will first take a boat to the seaport, and then transfer to a sea boat to go south, directly to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture.
The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very large. Rather than saying that there were nine states within the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was better to say that it controlled nine continents.
Each state is comparable to a continent. The states face each other across the sea, and the imperial capital is the connection point of the nine continents.
Song Xuan once specifically studied the map of the Great Zhou territory. The area of this world was much larger than the earth he knew in his previous life.
The continental plates in each state are very similar to the Eurasian continent in the previous life of the earth.
It can even be said that the nine Eurasian continents were forcibly gathered into one world. Finally, three hundred years ago, Zhou Taizu Ji Wuming came out and led an invincible martial arts army to defeat all nine continents. Come down and establish Kyushu!
All places illuminated by the sun and moon are the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This sentence became a reality in the hands of Zhou Taizu.
Many years ago, when Song Xuan saw the map of the Great Zhou territory for the first time, he was stunned.
Because the territory of this Great Zhou Dynasty is very similar to the setting of the Martial Arts World game he planned in his previous life, and is even more complete than what he set.
It was so perfect that he once suspected that he had traveled through the game world.
But unfortunately, it was just a similar worldview, not a real time travel into the game world, because he had followed the game guide more than once and went to certain areas with opportunities to hunt for treasures.
But in the end, he found nothing. In the end, he completely lost the motivation to explore the world, and practiced the Pure Yang Wuji Boy's Skill safely in the imperial capital, where he stayed for more than ten or twenty years.
...
A few days later, Song Xuan and others boarded the ship and began to sail south along the East China Sea.
Lin Daiyu was a little seasick and spent most of her time in the cabin of the ship, rarely showing up outside.
On the other hand, Song Qian, this little girl is very skilled in martial arts and has no idea what it feels like to be seasick. At this moment, she is pulling Song Xuan to have a barbecue on the deck.
Song Qian has very strong hands-on skills and built a wooden frame by herself. On the wooden frame was an iron pot with a charcoal fire inside.
On top of the iron pot, there were a few iron skewers, on which were skewered the mutton bought before boarding the ship, and two fish caught from the sea. They were sprinkled with cumin, chili and other seasonings, and the smell of the meat was spread everywhere along the sea breeze. drift.
Soon, someone was attracted by the scent.
The visitor seemed to be a rich man, wearing expensive brocade clothes. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and he was quite handsome.
Song Xuan got to know this man during the past few days on the ship. He had an easy-to-remember name, Lin Pingzhi.
That's right, it's the poor kid who was proud of the world and cut off his chickens to practice the sword technique to ward off evil spirits in order to avenge his family, Lin Pingzhi.
The Lin family runs an escort bureau and has a large business in Mingzhou. It is said that their Fuwei Escort Agency has opened in almost all prefectures and counties in Mingzhou. There are thousands of escorts and various clerks who rely on their escort bureau for food. Thousands of people.
His father, Lin Zhennan, was the head escort of the Fuwei Escort Bureau. He had been working as an escort for many years and had made many connections in various places. He was very energetic both in the officialdom and in the world.
This ship is the property of the Lin family. As the young master of the Lin family, Lin Pingzhi is responsible for escorting a ship of goods to Mingzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang together with other bodyguards.
Seeing Lin Pingzhi approaching, Song Qian waved to him unceremoniously, "Xiao Linzi, come over and bake for a while!"
Hearing Song Qian's greeting, Lin Pingzhi was not annoyed at all. Instead, with a bit of a smile on his face, he walked quickly and sat by the stove, turning over the roasted lamb and looking for a topic.
"Brother Xuan, Sister Qian, you seem to be martial arts practitioners too, right?"
Song Xuan sat aside, looking at the boundless ocean leisurely, and said with a smile: "I have practiced some self-defense techniques, but they are not as good as your Lin family's seventy-two evil sword techniques."
The Lin family's evil-fighting swordsmanship is still very famous throughout Mingzhou. Of course, the famous one is Lin Pingzhi's grandfather Lin Yuantu.
At that time, Lin Yuantu relied on his seventy-two evil sword skills to defeat all the masters in Mingzhou's arena and gained great fame.
However, in Lin Zhennan's generation, evil-fighting swordsmanship has become mediocre. Although it is much stronger than ordinary martial arts, it has long lost the majesty of Lin Yuantu in the past.
People in the world only thought that Lin Zhennan had average martial arts qualifications and had not mastered the essence of evil-repelling swordsmanship. Only Song Xuan knew that it was not that Lin Zhennan had no talent, but that he had not mastered the true evil-repelling sword technique.
The swordsmanship to ward off evil spirits without cutting the chicken is not a good swordsmanship. In the same way, Lin Pingzhi's swordsmanship without cutting the chicken...
Song Xuan glanced at the young man who was seriously grilling and showing a shy smile from time to time.
This kid is not bad, he doesn’t have the arrogance and arrogance of a kid from a rich family.
Song Xuan felt that there were not necessarily many Lin Pingzhi in the world.
