28
On a merchant ship on the canal.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
Yuan Wenchun bowed to Jia Huan and said nervously.
Even though he was the eldest son of the Zhongqin family, he clearly knew what status Jia Huan had in the capital.
Putting aside the background of the four kings and eight dukes of the Jia family, just his status as a first-grade marquis and the second-grade official position of the capital military governor could be called one of the most powerful figures in the Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, when he faced Jia Huan, he was still a little nervous.
He looked at Gu Tingye bitterly. Why didn't this guy tell him in advance?
Gu Tingye smiled awkwardly. This time, they had indeed used Yuan Wenchun as a shield.
Jia Huan smiled.
"Young Master Yuan, please don't be like this. This time, I'm bringing my younger sister Lin back to Yangzhou to visit uncle.”
"So, it went smoothly for us. Plus, I have a good relationship with Gu Qianfan and Gu Tingye.”
"Other than the borders, I have never been outside the capital. This time, I will take this opportunity to take a good look. I hope Young Master Yuan will not take offense.”
How could Yuan Wenchun take offense! Hearing Jia Huan's words, he finally understood.
After all, it was not a secret that Lin Daiyu lived in the Jia residence. Although Lin Daiyu never went out, her father was still very famous.
When he was in the capital, he was already a doctor of Lantai Temple.
This official position belonged to the Imperial Censorate and was ranked third!
As for the salt inspector, although this official position was not big, it was only a small official of the seventh grade.
However, Lin Ruhai's Lantai Temple doctor had not resigned. He was also a salt inspector, so he was a third-grade official.
Only the Emperor's trusted aides could be salt inspectors, so everyone knew that as long as Lin Ruhai returned to the capital smoothly, he would at least be a minister of the six ministries!
That was because he was a Rank-3, and if he advanced further, he would be a Rank-2!
From a second-grade minister to a second-grade official, he could be ranked.
So as the eldest son of the Zhongqin family, how could Yuan Wenchun not know Lin Daiyu?
Even if he had never seen her before, as a noble family, it was impossible for him not to know that the daughter of a high-ranking official lived in the Jia residence.
Just like that, Jia Huan and the others joined Yuan Wenchun's team.
Of course, it was impossible to cover up everything. However, the investigation of the salt policy was one of them. The real purpose was still the Night Banquet Painting.
As for the 3,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry, they were slowly making their way to Yangzhou.
This was all prepared to deal with unexpected situations. After all, according to the information from the Imperial City Bureau, the salt merchants were not very well-behaved.
Time passed day by day. It didn't take much effort to go to Jiangnan through the Grand Canal. It was just a tiring journey.
Jia Huan looked at the Grand Canal. Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was angry, this Grand Canal was indeed a good thing.
It was worth mentioning that this world was indeed a little complicated. Perhaps it was because it was a fused world.
After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, it entered the Northern and Southern Dynasties. According to the normal track, the Song Dynasty was established, and then it entered the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
But who knew that after Nanbei Chao was destroyed, he would enter the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries. Zhao Kuangyin was only a famous general, not the Song Taizu.
Because of the absence of the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains had been in chaos for nearly five to six hundred years.
It was called by many great Confucians as the second Warring States Period! There were more than a few hundred political powers born in the middle.
Even until now, the Zhou Dynasty had not officially unified the country.
Liaodong was divided by the foreign races, and around the Zhou Dynasty, there were still many political powers, some occupying a province, some occupying a few cities, and so on.
However, due to their large numbers and the weakness of the Zhou Dynasty over the years, they had never been able to truly unify the world.
Therefore, such a complicated regime also made Jia Huan realize that this world had always been in a state of war.
In order to protect his family from destruction in the future, Jia Huan had to be stronger.
(World view strengthened, will be added to the latest TV series Xing Han.)）
Time slowly passed. After an extremely tiring voyage, they finally arrived at Yangzhou Prefecture.
Looking at the bustling Yangzhou port in front of him, Jia Huan sighed.
"Is this the bustling Jiangnan? It's really a different scene."
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Gu Qianfan and Gu Tingye both smiled.
After spending time together, the three of them had become much more familiar with each other. Their admiration for Jia Huan had especially increased.
Although Jia Huan was only twelve or thirteen years old, Gu Qianfan was in his twenties, and Gu Tingye was in his early twenties.
However, the two of them seemed to be led by Jia Huan, and Jia Huan had inherited Xiang Yu's bravery. Other than looking young, no one would think that he was a teenager.
"I'll take Sister Lin to the Lin Mansion first, and then I'll go to the Sheng family with you tomorrow.”
Jia Huan said with a smile.
The two of them smiled helplessly. They clearly came with errands, but why did Jia Huan look like he was really here to play?
In fact, Jia Huan had already begun to thoroughly investigate the matter of Yangzhou's salt administration. During his time in Jiangnan, he had once again carried out ten consecutive draws.
Other than the gold and silver items, what concerned Jia Huan the most was that he had obtained two good items.
One was the Miracle Doctor Li Shizhen, and the other was the bad guy from the intelligence organization.
Now that he had secretly sent bad people to investigate the salt policy, he believed that there would be results soon.
The bad guys were much more powerful than the Imperial City Department. After all, the Imperial City Department was slowly built by Emperor Jing De in the past few years, while the bad guys he got were a complete information organization for bad guys.
After bidding farewell to Gu Qianfan and the others, Jia Huan took Lin Daiyu and headed in the direction of the Lin Residence.
As for Gu Qianfan and the rest, they would go to the inn first. After resting for a night, they would go to the Sheng family tomorrow to give the betrothal gifts.
