"Why is Lord Lin so anxious to sell his business," Xie Yan couldn't help but ask: "Xie Mou saw that although your face was slightly pale, as long as you invited a famous doctor, you should still be able to recuperate." ”

Lin Jiang shook his head and sighed: "Thank you for your concern, Lin still understands someone's body, and it is not an exaggeration to say that time is running out." It's just that Lin still has a lot of things to worry about in this world, and the first thing is that my sister and my daughter. ”

"The two of them are still young, so they can't help but worry a little more, but fortunately, I have the clan behind me and the Yue family to help me, so I should be fine." Lin Jiang looked at Xie Yan and said with a slight smile: "Xie Fu should also take care of the first or second sister, right?" ”

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded: "This is natural, how can I say that she is also Erlang's daughter-in-law." ”

The corners of Lin Jiang's mouth curled slightly, "So with so many people helping me, I am also a little relieved, but I can't rest assured about state affairs." ”

Lin Jiang changed his words and said: "In the past two years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and now the border is even more fighting, and it is good that this battle is won, but if it loses, I am afraid that other countries will bite it like a tiger." After paying the military tax this year, the people in the Jiangnan area have no surplus food, and most of them can only live with rice bran accompanied by wild vegetables and leaves. ”

Lin Jiang sighed, "Whether it's fighting a war or giving relief, you need money and food, but now the treasury is empty, I heard that Your Majesty has not given the palace silk for two years." Your Majesty is so frugal for the country, but we can't be the king and share the worries for the country as courtiers. ”

Everyone looked at Lin Jiang blankly.

Lin Jiang looked at Xie Yan and said, "Lord Xie is in good health, and he can serve the country and the king for decades, but he is no longer able to assist His Majesty, and now he can only do what he can." ”

"So after discussing with her sister, Lin decided to sell these properties of the Lin family, and donate both the silver to the treasury, so that I can help Your Majesty and help Daliang through this year's crisis, and I can be regarded as inheriting the will of my ancestors."

Everyone looked at Lin Jiang blankly, and it took a long time to digest the news, and then they couldn't help but look at him with admiration in their eyes.

If someone else said this, they might not believe it, but if Lin Jiang said it, they believed ninety percent of it.

In troubled times, no matter how they fight for their own interests, who doesn't have that pride and ambition for their family and country?

Who doesn't want to calm this troubled world and calm the people of the world?

But there are also people who have doubts, and Xie Yan doesn't believe it in his heart.

Although Lin Jiang has always looked high, he doesn't believe that he is really high, the Lin family wants to be so noble, why didn't he refuse when the first emperor wanted to reward Lin Ying with so many things?

Seeing that there were expressions of admiration and excitement on everyone's faces, Xie Yan just lowered his eyes and didn't speak.

"Lin Gong is righteous, if everyone in the world can be the same as Lin Gong, why worry about the injustice of the world?" Someone immediately sighed: "I don't know when this troubled world will be calmed down." ”

"It's been okay in the past few decades, although the border war is uncertain, and it can't burn our Jiangnan, I heard that the Liao side is much more miserable, and the discord of Minister Lin back then made them still chaotic."

This Lin Gong is naturally not Lin Jiang, but his grandfather Lin Ying. This is also one of his most talked about achievements, before he died, he was stunned to burn a fire among several princes of Liao.

Even if the matter is revealed later, the whole world knows that it is his plan, but several princes of Liao have been fighting with their respective tribes for nearly eight years, you have killed my father, and I have also slaughtered your son.

It is also because of this that the young emperor has the opportunity to regain power, gain a firm foothold, and let Da Liang recuperate, otherwise a fourteen-year-old prince who has never been taken seriously suddenly ascends to the throne, and there are strong enemies outside, and Da Liang will probably be finished.

This is also one of the reasons why everyone is willing to believe that Lin Jiang is dedicated to the public, and the Lin family has a tradition of sacrificing their own interests for the country.

So for a while, the praise continued, but my heart couldn't help but be bitter. Since it is to raise money for the treasury or in the form of bidding, it is estimated that the price will not be low.

Before, they wanted to take advantage of Lin Jiang's serious illness and the psychology of rushing to sell the industry and lower the price, so they secretly greeted each other and agreed that they could not raise each other's prices at that time.

But now it's ......

Miss Lin said that if there are any industries that are not auctioned, it is that the ancestors and ancestors are reluctant to buy those properties, and she will not sell them at that time, and keep them for the Lin family.

So I missed this opportunity, and I don't know when I will have to wait until I want to buy it next time. It is no longer possible to reduce prices.

Lin Qingwan took out a scroll and hung it directly in the Sheng Ji Restaurant, on which was the property that the Lin family planned to sell, and even the courtyards in various places were included in it.

In addition to properties in Suzhou and Kyoto, properties from other places are also up for auction, although there is not much attention paid to this.

Compared to real estate, people are more interested in those fertile fields and shops.

Of course, there are also businessmen and landlords with little money and little power who set their sights on these properties, after all, the prices of fertile land and shops, tea plantations, etc. are too high for them to buy.

But these properties are different, there are few people staring, maybe you can pick up a leak.

"After the auction was held in Shengji Restaurant, friends who were interested in the time could take the deposit to bid, and our Lin family invited people in the yamen and several old men who were respected in Yangzhou to do notarization. If you still have any questions about the bidding, please ask me the chief steward of the Lin family. Lin Qingwan introduced Steward Zhong to everyone, saying that Steward Zhong was the steward in this bidding, and everyone's eyes instantly became enthusiastic when they looked at Steward Zhong.

Lin Qingwan took this opportunity to leave with Lin Jiang.

Xie Yan looked at Lin Qingwan and stopped talking, Lin Qingwan just couldn't see it, and Lin Yubin helped Lin Jiang downstairs one left and one right.

Zhou Bai and Zhao Sheng glanced at each other, and they all smiled and blocked in front of Xie Yan, sending the three members of the Lin family downstairs.

The Lin family and the Xie family are now in-laws, and Lin Qingwan is in charge of the bidding, so they should be separated, otherwise the Xie family will get the news first, which will be unfavorable to them.

When the three of them were sent to the door, they saw Shang Mingyuan running upside down on a horse, because of the pain in his back and buttocks, he was holding the hand of the little guy and rolling off the horse.

"Uncle, how is your health?"

Lin Jiang glanced at Shang Mingyuan up and down, with some dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he didn't show it, but said, "Why did you come now, didn't I ask someone to wake you up early this morning?" ”

Where did Shang Mingyuan dare to say that he was snooze, and he called someone to blast him out without waiting for anyone to finish speaking, and he can wake up now or Steward Zhao asked the people around him to wake up.

"My nephew hurt his back when he dismounted yesterday, so he ......"

"Forget it, forget it," Lin Jiang waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go back and let Dr. Xu show you, I also have something to ask you." ”

After that, he helped Lin Qingwan's hand and got into the carriage, and Zhao Sheng gave Shang Mingyuan a hard look on the side.

Shang Mingyuan was about to take two steps forward, but Lin Qingwan turned around and said, "Big nephew, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you get in the car soon?" ”

Shang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Aunt Lin will go back first, and my nephew will ride back later." ”

Lin Qingwan said with disdain: "Didn't you hurt your waist?" If you dare to ride, I'm afraid you'll fall. Your mother only has one son, if you fall in Yangzhou, where can I find a son for your mother to pay her back? ”

Shang Mingyuan twitched the corners of his mouth, and could only reluctantly glance back at Zhao Sheng and climb into the Lin family's carriage.

Shang Mingyuan has been afraid of his uncle since he was a child, and the scene of seeing his uncle in his memory is not very good, so as soon as he got into the carriage at this time, he sat upright, sat aside with his head down, and didn't dare to say a word.

Lin Qingwan put a pillow for Lin Jiang and helped him lean down, so that Lin Yubin could sit beside him.

It was the first time for Lin Yubin to see his eldest cousin so cowardly, and he couldn't help but purse his lips.

Lin Jiang asked, "Mingyuan, how much money did you bring to Yangzhou this time?" ”

Shang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "I didn't bring much, because my grandmother and her old man were afraid that I would mess around in Yangzhou, so I only gave a few thousand taels of silver, so I didn't have to be hungry." ”

In fact, it is only five hundred taels, after all, it will not be too bad to eat, drink and dress in Yangzhou, and the old lady is afraid that he will go to Goolan Courtyard to mess around, so he is not allowed to bring too much silver on his body.

Lin Jiang frowned slightly, "What about Steward Zhao beside you?" ”

Shang Mingyuan was even more worried, "He is a subordinate, so he naturally took the money from me." Uncle is in a hurry to get money, why don't I write to my grandmother and say ......"

Lin Jiang sighed and said, "Several properties of the Lin family are good, I thought that your Shangfu was interested in buying some, and I also wanted Sister Wan to give you a cheaper price in private." But since you're not interested, forget it. ”

Shang Mingyuan opened his mouth, he didn't know what happened in Sheng Ji Restaurant, thinking that Lin Jiang was selling the property to cash in so that the household department could keep it, so he hesitated for a moment and said in front of Lin Qingwan: "Uncle, in fact, my grandmother brought me two letters and a jade ruyi this time." ”

A dark color flashed in Lin Jiang's lowered eyes, and his hands clenched slightly.

Lin Qingwan sat on the side, just seeing his sinking face, her heart couldn't help but move.

Lin Jiang said that he couldn't tell her about the future of the performance of the Heavenly Mirror, but he could express his attitude towards things and people, and Lin Qingwan could get as much as he could.

Lin Jiang's state at this time told her that he was very unhappy and even a little angry.

Lin Jiang didn't respond to Shang Mingyuan, and it wasn't until he returned to the Lin Mansion that he said lightly: "Bring the letter to me." ”

Shang Mingyuan was worried all the way, and when he heard it, he didn't care about analyzing one, two, three, so he ran back to the guest room and took the letter and went to the room with the box containing Yu Ruyi.
