After discussing for a few days, the banquet was finally decided to be held for seven days after half a month, and the location was also chosen in Yin Susu's courtyard in the capital. King Qi was a little unhappy that Lin Yu did not hold a banquet in King Qi's mansion at first, but what Lin Yu said also made sense, his third daughter-in-law is now more than nine months pregnant, and it is just in time for those days, and the mansion is really not too busy.

"What are the dishes at the banquet, Miss Lin going to arrange? She wasn't satisfied with the list I had drawn up before, and it seemed that she had another idea. The housekeeper of the Yin family asked Pearl in a low voice, "It is said that this matter is easy to do, Miss Yu's restaurant is very famous all over the capital, just ask them to come over to prepare a banquet, why is Miss Yu not satisfied?" ”

"I don't know what to do." Pearl knows her own temperament, not to care about these things, although she is Lin Yu's personal maid, she is most concerned with things like clothing and accessories, and she doesn't interfere much in housework. "But if the young lady has her own plans, she will definitely tell you."

At this time, Lin Yu will talk about this problem again, she is sitting opposite Qingqing, there is such a happy event, of course she came over for the first time, and stayed here to help Lin Yu deal with some things at this time.

"I heard you're not satisfied with the menu at the banquet? Do you still want to put on what dragon liver and phoenix marrow? ”

"Sister Qingqing, don't make fun of me, what is the situation like this year, don't you know what the way is?" Lin Yu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and sighed, "It hasn't rained for months, and I, the county lord, originally came here because of donating grain, so naturally I can't be too extravagant and wasteful at this time." Besides, I don't really have much cash in my hands. ”

Previously hoarded food. It is true that she has basically emptied the cash in her hand, and she can still live her daily life, and she has a large-scale extravagant banquet. That's not enough. After all, 100,000 taels does not seem to be so much, but it is by no means a small amount, the price of grain is flat, and 100,000 taels of silver is enough for 100,000 people to eat for more than three months.

Yu Wenji was so generous this time, and he rewarded Lin Yu as a county lord at once, not just because he was the first to donate money and food. And he donated so much, and more importantly, because the food donated by Lin Yu happened to be near Zhenchuan, and it was enough for the army of the West Road to support about two months. Until then. The disaster must have almost subsided, and even if the war is not over, the imperial court will have a way to raise food and transport it over.

And if the army of the Western Route was really wiped out because of lack of food, the losses in it could not be calculated. In case it really makes the Zhang family turn the tables. The loss may even be the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, in such a situation, the effect of these 100,000 taels of silver is almost no less than the timely rain, how can it make Yu Wenji unhappy?

Moreover, Lin Yu is now a model of concern for the disaster situation set up by the imperial court, and if the drought is still so serious, it is certain that he will be blamed. Besides, Lin Yu does not have so much spare money to engage in corruption now, although the things rewarded by the court are worth a lot. But neither Zhuangzi nor grain can be exchanged for money immediately.

"Are you really out of money? Do you want me to support you? ”

Facing Qingqing's surprised eyes, Lin Yu smiled bitterly. "Forget it, let's talk about acting to persuade them, and those victims are really pitiful."

"But I said, you're really not interesting, such a thing, I won't know until the decree is issued." Qingqing thought about it and didn't say anything, with her relationship with Lin Yu, when Lin Yu really wanted to use money, she shouldn't be too polite. So, she turned to complaining about something else.

"Because I also made an improvisation." Lin Yu sighed softly.

She didn't lie, she really made it temporary, not to mention Qingqing, even if it was Xiaobai, she had been helping her deal with the food, and she didn't know until she went to find Yin Susu. She didn't think she was a particularly kind person, anyway, she wasn't the Virgin Mary, and she was really moved by the fact that the price of food had risen more than twice as much.

As long as you shoot now, you can flip through it immediately, and this kind of thing is not so easy to encounter. And even if it is not retailed, there are many large merchants who are willing to take this plate, after all, it has not rained yet, the drought is still continuing, and there is no real famine at the moment, and the famine will not really happen until June and July.

Last year, she was worried and laborious, it can be said that she earned so many hundred thousand taels of silver, and now she may be able to double it soon, and she has not yet regarded money as dung The courage and noble character, so she is really a little moved.

But that is, she was tempted, she still wanted to take the military ration route at that time, and in case of a famine, she would scatter the grain and open a porridge shop or something. But the begging mother and son she met made her change her mind, and after hesitating for two days, she made up her mind and found Yin Susu.

However, her temporary words, although it was true, Qingqing was a little unconvinced, but seeing that Lin Yu didn't want to say so much about this matter, she changed the topic, "Don't talk about this, you are really bold, you must know that the court of Ludao is the darkest, although it is said that it is a great contribution to the sacrifice of food, it is possible to only give you a reward that is not painful, your money is not blown by the wind, and your daily life is not luxurious, I didn't expect you to be so willing this time." ”

"Because I was ready to lose all my money at that time." Lin Yu sighed lightly, "And you can't watch the court lose to the Zhang family because of the food problem, the war has ended early, and the people can suffer less." Of course, the income is beyond my imagination, I originally thought that I could get a virtual county lord at most, but now it can be treated as well as you, a genuine county lord. ”

In this regard, Qingqing was a little disdainful, "Speaking of which, it's not a big deal, it's just that the status is higher." But speaking of which, this time you have to invite those people from the Lu family to come, haluha, I think about it is very happy, and they will kneel down to salute you when the time comes. ”

There is no need for such a big gift at other times, but Lin Yu is the new county lord, and at this banquet, people with inferior status to her have to give a big gift. You must know that this banquet was not only decided by Lin Yu, but the emperor even personally pointed out the officials to help organize it.

As Mrs. Lin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, a Mrs. Hou, although she is also Mrs. Hou, she has no decree title, and when the time comes, she will definitely give a big gift. Because of his busy affairs, Lin Yu rarely thought of these two people at this time, and when he was Qingqing, he hadn't forgotten it, and when he thought of them wanting to salute his sister, his heart was inevitably happy.

"At the beginning, she pushed me downstairs, and the entire Hou Mansion didn't even apologize." Qingqing sneered, "Speaking of which, you have a good heart, if it were me, Zhang Wan'er begged me last time, I would definitely not help her, and I would definitely taunt her severely." Pitiful, what is pitiful? ”

"I'm not all kind, and you know the truth." Lin Yu had the intention to use this matter to separate the connection between the Zhang family and the Lu family in Shuzhong and the three princes behind it, so he helped spread the news, of course, there was indeed a factor of being soft-hearted.

"I don't know how the Zhang family is doing now?" Qingqing sneered, "I heard that I was sick, I wonder if Lu Dao will not come because of illness?" (To be continued......)

PS: I ate too many sweets, and my stomach and intestines are very pantothenic, so much for today.

Thank you CBBCA for the two peace charms!
