Lin Ruhai, the surname is Lin Hai, the name is like the sea. The ancestor of Lin Ruhai, who once succeeded the princes, and now Ruhai has passed through five generations. At first, he was only enshrined in the third generation. Because of the prosperity of the present, he has gone far away from the previous generation, and he has given additional favors. It has been inherited for a generation; to Ruhai, it is a pity that the Lin family is not prosperous, and the descendants are limited. Although there are a few families, they are both cousins with Ruhai, and they are not very direct descendants.
Married Jia Min, gave birth to a son who died young at the age of three, and had a daughter named Daiyu, whom the husband and wife loved like a pearl in the palm of their hand. When Daiyu was six years old, Jia Min died of an illness. Because of Jia Min's death, her daughter Lin Daiyu was left uneducated. She was afraid that she would be busy with government affairs and would not take good care of her because of her old age. Also, because her mother-in-law Jia moved several boats for men and women to borrow, she sent her daughter Lin Daiyu to Jia's house.
Lin Ruhai was admitted to Tanhua, moved to Lantai Temple, and later became Yangzhou Salt Inspector. And Lin Ruhai has the character of a literati, but he is not blindly lofty. He is very proficient in officialdom and sophistication, and he has done his work well in Yangzhou.
"—To put it so euphemistically, is he actually a corrupt official?" said Liz, who was sitting in the living room looking around, and finally felt that the furniture was expensive.
"Cough cough...!" The adjutant coughed violently, scolding inwardly...
"Because I'm a Western barbarian, I'm so straightforward, please don't mind~" Liz said with a smile.
"..." Well, the adjutant just wanted to scold "Western barbarians are ignorant of etiquette", but looking at Liz's smiling face and the coquettish laughter of the girls next to him, he always felt that something was wrong
"All in all, it is the 'corrupt officials' who are more greedy and who are exposed, the 'clean officials' who are less greedy and who have not been exposed, and officials who are not corrupt at all can't be promoted in their lifetime, right?" Liz shrugged. Shrug.
"This... Are you really clear?" The adjutant ignored Liz's strange remarks just now, but was rather interested in this evaluation that deeply reflected China's national conditions.
It doesn't mean that this is a profound and unique opinion. It is just "corruption and corruption" and "official protection", but it comes from the mouth of "Western barbarians", which makes people a little concerned.
"I've been used to being in a place similar to this country for a few years with the title of [God's Counting Hero]." Looking at the two female heroes of their own family, there were also many corrupt officials who died under their three men. "Besides, power breeds corruption. It's the same in any world. The difference is whether it's blatant or not."
"...?" The older adjutant silently memorized the previous sentence, and reported to Li Huamei when he was free.
Similar to this country
Where
"However, although I originally planned to see what the mansions of the dignitaries in China looked like, nothing interesting happened..." Liz said with a bored expression.
Why is the inspector of salt inspector so fat and short, the whole family died prematurely, and the weak and frail were all because of being poisoned; what Lin Ruhai was mentally retarded in disposing of the Lin family's estate, distant relatives ABC and Jia Lian tried their best to compete for this money Windfall; why a certain stone is obviously a normal hairstyle, put this (overhead) dynasty into a certain yin and yang head dynasty that is mapped, and then Lin MM has some connection with the four princes who will eventually reach the top; what Lin Ruhai's true love is not Jia Min , but the current emperor, who will attack and who will suffer temporarily is unknown; why Lin Ruhai turned over the millions of taels of silver that his ancestors had embezzled and handed over to the treasury, the emperor was so moved, and let Lin MM soar into the sky as the county master - these wonderful scripts are all did not come across.
Of course, it may have actually happened, but he was unlucky enough to not bump into it... After all, he, who joined in the fun, could not follow Li Huamei to meet Lin Ruhai.
Wang Yuanji looked at him with a reproachful look, as if to say, "Lord Liz, pay attention to the occasion."
"Well...! It's a pair of talking dead fish eyes..." Well, now Wang Yuanji has become a complete dead fish eye.
However, Liz was just gossiping in the living room, and there was no more outrageous behavior - such as running out to visit the mansion of other people's officials.
The time was spent in the boring tea tasting, but it was only a matter of a few minutes. Li Huamei quickly walked back under the leadership of the servant, but was followed by a little girl of about 11 years old with tears on her face.
"Admiral!" The adjutant quickly stood up and cupped his hands.
"... After returning, send someone to prepare a room for Miss Lin on the ship," Li Huamei glanced sideways at the little girl's thin figure, and then added, "A more comfortable room."
"Yes!" the adjutant responded.
"I, I want to stay with Daddy." The little girl's tears flowed again.
"..." Li Huamei was silent, the dignified Japanese pirates were well-known as "Xiang Feihu", who grew up in the army, but was not good at comforting little girls.
The matter is not complicated. Considering the medical conditions and life expectancy in this world, it is not unimaginable that Lin Ruhai, who is middle-aged, suddenly falls ill and knows that he will die soon. Then Lin Ruhai finally had some knowledge of people, and mistakenly believed in Jia Yucun, the white-eyed wolf. Anyway, he found a reliable person before he died. There are not many people in the whole country who are more reliable than Li Huamei. In the end, Li Huamei didn't know about the relationship between her ancestors. She was not a complete care of the orphan, but only asked her to take care of her lonely little daughter Lin Daiyu.
What Li Huamei has to do now is to send Lin Daiyu to the Rongguo Mansion in the capital safely after Lin Ruhai's death. As for "taking care of it a little bit" later... um... it's more troublesome...
If it wasn't for Lin Ruhai's helplessness, she wouldn't want to deal with such trouble.
"Huh?" Li Huamei saw Liz who was still sitting in her seat at a glance, and she had an idea, "... Captain Liz, do you have a ship doctor on board? It is rumored that Western medicine is unique."
"No, not at all, our whole boat has always been healthy and we don't need a boat doctor." Liz didn't lie.
"?" Li Huamei frowned.
She just asked this question casually so that he could summon the ship doctor later, but she didn't expect that "there is no ship doctor".
God, he meows on a voyage without a ship doctor!
"..." Liz shrugged. Anyway, he didn't really want to save a corrupt official. Even if the corrupt official was not greedy, but being rescued and letting him continue to be greedy always made him feel a little uncomfortable.
If it were replaced by the unselfish Bao Qingtian, or Sima Guang, who was a disciple from all sides, he would not hesitate to help.
but…
"Heh~ I'm a little interested, I want to try it~~"
Murong Jiu, when did you become so sympathetic? Must be fake, right
