"Is the old lady feeling better today?" Lin Yijia asked.

Lantian shook his head and replied in a low voice: "The slave maid heard that she tossed for a while last night, and she couldn't get up in the morning, so she said that it was very cold and she fell asleep all the time. The old lady said that the old lady needed to recuperate, and said that she would not let everyone go to please disturb her. ”

Although Mrs. Lin's health has not been good, and she has rarely been able to get up and walk, her spirit has not been bad, and she always refuses to raise it quietly, thinking that one is one out - most of the time it is with the old man and several masters and daughters-in-law of the Lin family, especially against Mrs. Lin and Xiao Li, not to say that they can't tolerate Lin Yuan'er, and they drove Lin Yuan'er out of the Lin Mansion. And when Old Man Lin was occasionally there, the old lady was very fierce, and she dared to say anything.

She's also old and confused. His married daughter is with a foreign man, even if the foreign man is the Ninety-Five, is it something worth showing off?

Fortunately, Mrs. Lin was strict in governing the family and arranged reliable people up and down the Rongxi Hall, so that the scandal would not spread from the Lin Mansion.

Since there is no need to go to Rongxi Hall to say goodbye, Lin Yijiale is at ease.

She felt the warmth of the warm balls in her palms, and asked, "Is there anything to say from Sister-in-law Aqing?" ”

A trace of admiration flashed in Lantian's eyes, and he replied, "Miss Hui, there is." Aqing's sister-in-law said that the weather today is abnormal, the weather has been warm in the past few months, but it is a big cold at this time, I am afraid that there will be natural disasters next, please prepare for it early. ”

"Hmm." Lin Yijia nodded.

This spring, after this great cold has passed. Then there was a sunny day, and for three months there was no rain until the height of summer. Crops planted in the snow can only be watched as they are dried up and killed, and there is no harvest. Daxian has been established for more than 60 years, and God blesses it, and it has always been smooth. Before last year, the imperial court had absolutely no difficulty dealing with this drought, but last spring. The Western Liang Kingdom in the northwest and the Goryeo people in the northeast suddenly joined forces to attack together, which caught them off guard.

Especially on the border of Daliang in the northwest, the prince of Xiliang, Hehrito, raided the northwest town of Liuhe, and actually blocked the old marquis of Wuxinghou, who was lightly patrolling the military defense of the northwest, in Liuhe Town! Under the bloody battle, the old marquis was outnumbered and died in Liuhe! Later, when people found him. He still stood upright, and pulled out more than a hundred arrows from his body! It's terrible!

When the news came, the whole country was shocked!

And Prince Xiliang took advantage of the fact that the Northwest Army did not react, and immediately raised heavy troops to attack after withdrawing from the Daxian border, and suddenly defeated the Northwest Army, which had lost the old marquis, and won several important towns in the northwest!

This is an unprecedented defeat since the founding of the country!

When the news reached Shengjing. No one even believed it! Even the soldiers who reported the news were almost imprisoned for spreading rumors! But then, a steady stream of messengers rushed back to Beijing. The war broke out in full swing and was caught off guard!

But Daxian was in his heyday.

After the initial defeat, the Sixth Division was quickly mobilized, countless food supplies were transferred from all over the country to the north, and countless men were drafted into the battlefield.

The battle was quickly contained, even if Da Liang and Goryeo joined forces. Immediately, the war was in a stalemate. Especially the Northwest. Under the command of Prince Xiliang, the war in the northwest has always been in a very unfavorable state for Daxian. The terrible war has been going on for a whole year, and I don't know how long it will last!

In times of great war, every grain of grain is precious. At this time, if there is a famine, where will the household department have excess food for disaster relief, and how dare to waste a large amount of food in the mouths of the victims!

"How much food do we have?" Lin Yijia asked as she walked.

Lin Huijia handed over the words, saying that she would go back to her parents' house with the child today. Lin Yijia estimated that she was almost time to arrive.

Speaking of food, after Lin Yijia finished the draft, he grinded a grain shop under the name of Mrs. Lin as a practice for her own business. The scale of this grain store, called "Qing Yu Nian", is not small, and there are branches in more than 10 places across the country, but it is not very conspicuous, and it is only a low-key operation. From that time on, she began to instruct the shop to start slowly but continuously buying and hoarding grain, and slowly shipping it in the direction of Shengjing.

It's to deal with the current disaster.

"Miss Hui, in our warehouse in Shengjing City, there are about a million stones to spare. Aqing's sister-in-law said that these grains can almost cope with a small-scale disaster. Moreover, the accounts have been settled for more than a year, and the surplus grain of the imperial court has almost been exhausted, and I am afraid that I will soon have to give an order to collect it from various grain stores. Based on the scale of our grain bank, it is estimated that we will have to hand over about 100,000 stones. ”

"Let Aqing's sister-in-law do it according to the procedures, but don't miss the bottom." Lin Yijia said: "I still expect this grain to make me a lot of money." ”

Lan Tian's eyes darkened, and he hesitated a few times, but finally asked, "Miss, do you want to hoard strange?" Miss, the common people have suffered enough, I don't know how many people will starve to death, how many people will buy and sell their daughters......"

Didn't she and Lan Yu just suffer from the disaster and couldn't survive, so they had to sell themselves into slavery?

She still remembers that one tael of silver could buy hundreds of catties of fine grain, but in that year, she could only buy thirty or fifty catties of coarse grain......

Lin Yijia glanced at her, sighed, and said, "Where do you want to go?" Even if I wanted to, my mother wouldn't let me do such unkind and unjust things. It's just that the price of grain must have risen a lot more than before, and I estimate that it will grow three or five times longer, that is, about 20 to 30 yuan per catty of rice. This price can be accepted by a hundred ordinary people, and those merchants who have grain in their hands can also accept it, and they are willing to sell the grain in their hands. Otherwise, just one celebration of more than one year can save all the victims? In this way, although this year is a little difficult, the vast majority of ordinary people should be able to pass it safely......"

The harvest year was prepared early, and the price of grain was very low. In this way, you can really make a lot of money, and it is not a conscience. On the contrary, Qingfengnian has done a good job by stabilizing food prices at a level acceptable to both sides.

Think about it, in the past disaster years, even if there are three orders from the imperial court, which time has the grain not risen tenfold? The price of one or two pounds of silver and a pound of rice is not unprecedented!

"If you really can't afford it, there are also porridge shed relief." Lin Yijia said: "In order to accumulate blessings for the old lady, the porridge shed in the Lin Mansion will definitely continue to open." ”

Lantian was full of shame, lowered his head and followed Lin Yijia for a while, before asking, "Miss, do you have any other orders?" ”

"You go and tell Sister-in-law Aqing that this battle will not be fought for a while, and our shop should go to Nanyang to take a look. Didn't we put a deposit on those people before? In the south, there are three crops a year, and the grain should be almost ripe. Lin Yijia said: "There is nothing else, let her be in charge of her discretion." I know very little, and I don't have any experience, so I don't have to ask for advice on everything. ”

"Miss is humble." Lan Tian said, beckoned the other maids to come over and follow Lin Yijia to the front for him, and went to do his own thing.

Lan Qiao is already married. is married to the second shopkeeper of Qing Yunian, and now the big shopkeeper, who is the sister-in-law of Aqing in the mouth of the two just now, who manages her only property for Lin Yijia.

Serving Lin Yijia closely, in addition to Lan Tian and Lan Ling, who is about to get married, as well as the newly promoted Lan Xin Lan Si, they have all grown up in Lin Yijia's yard since childhood, and now it is a good time to be twelve or thirteen years old, and it is very useful.

At this time, because she was in her own home, only Lan Xin followed her.

Lin Huijia has been married to the Rongjun palace for more than two years, and her son Zhao Shiyan is in love. Moreover, not long after passing the door, Lin Huijia was pregnant, and although she was not a son when she was born in October, she was the first child in the Rongjun Palace, and she was very favored. After the princess of the old county saw her Yuxue's lovely great-granddaughter, she entered the palace that day, like the queen mother, asked for a Gege title, and named it Junyu, which is for Junyu Gege.

Of course her daughter Lin Huijia likes it, but as the princess of Rongjun Wangfu, it is even more important to have the eldest son by her side. But Lin Huijia followed Mrs. Lin's advice, and recuperated her body for a whole year, and only after Xiao Gege was one year old, she stopped taking the decoction. God also helped her, and half a year after she stopped taking the drug, she became pregnant again. At this time, she was just over three months old and could still go out and walk.

Zhao Shiyan led the army to the Northwest Front a year ago.

This time, it was Lin Huijia who brought Junyu Gege and the two of them over.

Lin Yijia thought of her little niece who was as smart and cute as a Persian cat, and her mood suddenly improved, and she couldn't help but smile on her lips. Come to think of it, my mother may stay with my eldest sister for two days, and the Lin Mansion will be a little lively.

Lin Minjia also married far away from Guangzhou at the end of last year.

When she was about to get married, she was not sad at all, and comforted Mrs. Lin and others: "...... Don't you know that I'm most afraid of the cold? I've only spent two winters in Shengjing, and I'm already scared, and I don't think about the third one at all. Going to Guangzhou is exactly what I want! None of you are happy for me, look at what faces you are on? ”

All the people who said this could not laugh or cry. Especially Mrs. Lin, who caught Lin Minjia and laughed and scolded her fiercely, she could be regarded as letting her go. But in the end, the sadness of parting has been washed away a lot, and the rest is a lot of joy.

Kang Yongtong won the martial champion as he wished, and together with the war, he threw himself into the Northeast Water Army, and after a few battles, he was lucky, made a lot of credit, and became a captain. finally got a three-month vacation, and the scenery married Lin Minjia.

Brother Kang is afraid that he will return to the front-line water army, and he doesn't know if the third sister can be as lucky as the eldest sister and have a child all of a sudden. Lin Yijia thought. If you have a child and sustenance, you should be able to live faster. Otherwise, how hard should it be to bear the burden of this day by day? (To be continued.)
