Who knew that the war was ignited in the rear of the imperial court, Emperor Gaozu fled all the way from the capital to Yangzhou, and fell ill in shock and anger, he had three sons, and the two older princes fought for the throne while he was seriously ill.

It was the year of Gengwu, so it was called the change of Gengwu in history, and it was also called the disaster of Gengwu. The two princes wanted to control the Lin clan when they were fighting for the throne, and threatened Lin Ying, who was in front, to obey their orders, and accidentally injured Lin Ying's eldest son, Lin Tao, during the competition.

Lin Tao died, and his brother Lin Zhi, that is, Lin Jiang's father, hated it so much that he closed the door of the Lin family and sent someone to Beihe and his father for help.

Who knew that this move angered the two princes, and they panicked, for fear that Lin Ying would turn against him after knowing the truth, so they simply wanted to destroy the Lin family without doing anything, and then find an excuse to cover it up.

In this troubled era, the righteousness of monarchs and ministers is infinitely compressed, and having military power in their hands is the king. Didn't Shi Qian just kill his boss and rebel with a wave of his arm?

And now Lin Ying still has 200,000 troops in his hands, and he also has a deep friendship with the generals of the other three-way armies, and his desire to rebel is just a thought.

So the two princes were terrified, and the Lin family was almost wiped out.

Yang Yuan, who was the Zhongshu Commander at the time, noticed that something was wrong and risked his death to enter the palace to meet him, and Emperor Gaozu knew about it.

But it was too late for the forbidden army to rush to Suzhou Lin's family, and the Lin family's descendants were almost wiped out, only Lin Zhi was escorted by a few loyal servants to escape, but he was also seriously injured.

In order to appease Lin Ying, who was on the front line, Emperor Gaozu ordered the execution of the two princes, and even their descendants were not spared.

Then he named the surviving Lin Zhi as the Duke of Zhongguo, and his brother Lin Tao chased him as the Duke of Protector.

The throne was inherited by the three princes who were still young at the time, Lin Ying was in charge of the country, and Emperor Gaozu was rewarded a lot in order to appease Lin Ying's anger.

Most of the good fields and shops in Jiangnan that were abandoned due to the war were rewarded to the Lin family, and with the gold and silver treasures in the treasury, it can be said that the Lin family is richer than the national treasury.

Lin Qingwan closed the genealogy and suppressed the agitation in her chest, the two-hundred-year history of the Lin family is simply a history of war.

Lin Qingwan asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it the third prince today?" ”

"Yes," Lin Jiang lowered his eyes and said: "Although my grandfather was in charge of the country, he also fell ill after this blow, but he died of illness in two years, my father was seriously injured, although he was also an official in the court, but because of his poor health, he has been working in the relatively idle Ministry of Industry, and the extra energy is used to take care of the family business. ”

So the Lin family doesn't have much of anything, just a lot of money, a lot of grain, and a lot of silk cloth, and his father's management ability is famous.

"The Emperor's ......"

Lin Jiang knew what Lin Qingwan was worried about, and shook his head slightly: "Although the two princes were killed because of the Lin family, Your Majesty has no prejudice against the Lin family. And my grandfather left early, and before he died, he handed over the 200,000 troops he held to His Majesty, and my father did not express his views on other political affairs except for the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, so he still has some friendship with my Lin family, but this is a troubled time, and he is the king of troubled times, in the end, my Lin family is just one of ten million households, where does he remember so much? ”

Lin Yubin's tragedy had nothing to do with the emperor, which made Lin Qingwan breathe a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if the country's top leader can't get along with them, she is afraid that she will not even be able to save her own life.

"But the ending of my Lin family does have something to do with this past," the Lin family said: "Back then, my grandfather stood too tall and drove the Liao people across the Yellow River all the way, but he looted a lot of loot, so they thought that the Lin family hid gold and silver, even if I finally donated all my property, they didn't believe it." I thought I was secretly keeping it for Yubin, so I ......"

The most fatal thing is that the Lin clan was almost wiped out during the Gengwu Change, and the Lin clan people left behind were all side branches and were not close to them, so they were not united with the clan branches, and on the premise of having sufficient interests, they joined forces with outsiders to bully Yubin.

There were many luxuriant branches back then, but in the end, only one of his father remained, and he was also alone, but he only left Yubin alone.

Lin Jiang was infinitely sorry, he didn't know if it was because of him, because Bai Weng said that the Lin family was cursed because of him.

The merits of the Lin family for dozens of generations should have been flourishing, but now their branch is withering......

Lin Jiang had already decided that the first thing he would do after becoming an immortal was to find the person who cursed him.

"What about the loot?" Lin Qingwan asked.

"What?" Lin Jiang was still thinking about the person who cursed him.

Lin Qingwan asked, "I mean what about the loot that my grandfather looted?" ”

"Most of the gold, silver and jewelry were used to raise soldiers and reward subordinates, and some books and antiques that were difficult to realize were placed in the treasury for family heirlooms."

"Does the Emperor know about these things?"

Lin Jiang groaned: "I probably know that the treasury of Daliang was looted by the Liao army back then, and there was no way to get military salaries, grain and grass, and the soldiers were all raised by the generals of each army. My grandfather was known for his preferential treatment of his subordinates and would not let the soldiers starve, so the money was all spent. ”

In addition to various collections, the Lin family's cash began to accumulate after his father took charge of the family, because at that time, the Lin family no longer needed to raise soldiers.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Jiang can be in charge of a party at a young age, although he is talented, but it is difficult for him to stand in such a high position at such a young age without qualifications.

It's just that the emperor is thinking about the Lin family.

Lin Ying was seriously ill that year, and instead of handing over the 200,000 army to his son Lin Zhi, he handed it over to the emperor.

You must know that the 200,000 army is the largest and strongest army in Daliang, and the emperor can only govern at the age of sixteen with these 200,000 troops.

So even if Lin Zhi has always been very indifferent to the emperor, and even if the emperor summoned him and didn't want to enter the palace to see him, the emperor was not angry, but asked him to return to Jiangnan to serve after Lin Jiang became a minister.

It is precisely because of these that Lin Jiang feels that the emperor has the grace of knowing him, so he has always been a royalist and a confidant of the emperor.

But the situation in the court is complicated, after his death, only Yubin has a daughter, and the emperor has limited care even if he takes care of her, not to mention that his daughter is young and ignorant, even if he later notices that the tigers and wolves around her feed her, she can't contact the outside world.

There is no way to ask for help.

Lin Qingwan turned around twice and said: "Your consideration is right, I can't ensure that the Lin family's property can't be delivered, but we can't give away so much money in vain, and now is not the time to send it, you wait for me to make an idea, now go and raise food and grass first." ”

Lin Jiang looked at her deeply and responded.

He believes in Lin Qingwan, or he believes in Bai Weng's hexagram, Lin Qingwan will be the breakthrough of the Lin family.

Daliang and Dachu fought again, and the whole country shook.

Two years ago, Liang lost the prince in the war between Liang and Chu, and last year there was a big flood in the Yellow River valley in the Guangjin area, and the imperial court emptied the treasury with disaster relief alone.

But if you don't fight, you can't do it, there is Liao in the north of Daliang, Tubo and Houshu in the west, Dachu in the southwest, Jiangling Fu is still independent, there is Southern Han in the south, and Fujian in the east.

Therefore, this battle must be fought, and it must be fought.

It was precisely because Lin Jiang knew this that he tried his best to prepare enough grain and grass, even if he was infamous on his back.

Even now, even if he knew that he would leave a future trouble for Yubin after doing this, he had to do it, because by guarding the border pass of Daliang and suppressing the surrounding tigers and wolves, Lin Qingwan had the conditions to calculate and protect the foundation of Yubin.

Otherwise, Daliang fell into war and turmoil, and in the chaotic times, no matter how smart Lin Qingwan was, it would be difficult to protect the two of them.

Because they are just two powerless girls, they have a chance to fight when the environment is safe, otherwise no matter how resourceful Lin Qingwan is, they will either die or be worse than death when they encounter the rebels.

Lin Jiang didn't want that to happen.

So Lin Jiang began to go to work normally, and the entire Jiangnan was mobilized by him.

Yangzhou Mansion is the deputy capital of Daliang, and he is the observer of Jiangnan Province, so he has his own right to dispatch. So, within half a month, the entire Jiangnan knew that Lin Jiang, who was rumored to be sick to death some time ago, was better again.

Originally, the Jiangnan officials, who were a little loose, were tightly skinned, and they did not dare to slack off to carry out the orders above.

Suzhou, which only has a three-day trip to Yangzhou, is the fastest to receive the news, and the Lin clan is naturally happy when they hear that Lin Jiang has turned the corner again, and the sect elder who originally planned to leave is not leaving.

The atmosphere of the Shang family in Suzhou City is also very good, and Mrs. Shang said happily: "It is a happy event that my uncle is well, and I told the steward that each person will be rewarded with an extra month's monthly money." ”

Second Mrs. Shang smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, go and order, do you want to ask someone to pack up some medicinal materials and send them to Yangzhou to see your uncle?" ”

Old Madam Shang thought for a while and nodded: "It's okay, by the way, take a look at Yubin, if my uncle is well and he is busy with business and can't take care of Yubin, then bring Yubin back, and I'll show him." ”

Second Lady Shang smiled slightly, bowed her head and smiled.

Unlike the happiness of the Lin Shang family, the big families in Yangzhou City felt that their hearts were dripping blood, because Lin Xiaomian Hu interviewed them, hoping that they could contribute to the country's border defense and donate more property and food.

Lin Jiang moved with emotion and reason, and the big families could understand the truth he said, after all, the world is uncertain now, of course they know how terrible the war is.

But this does not mean that they are willing to donate so much money from their families, which is even more painful than cutting meat.

Someone proposed to levy a military tax from the common people, after all, there are many people, and it is enough for everyone to share a little.

When the time comes, they will pay all the military taxes they should pay.

Lin Jiang said that the military tax is to be collected, but now is the time when the green and yellow are not available, the ability of ordinary people is limited, and he can't force the people in Jiangnan to death for the war at the border pass, so he has to contribute more from the big households, of course, he will not take them in vain, and the imperial court will give them some preferential policies.

When Lin Jiang was arguing with the big households, Lin Qingwan was sitting on a recliner in the courtyard basking in the sun, and Lin Yubin was holding a book of poems and reading poems to her on the side.

After Lin Yubin finished reading a song, he looked up and saw that his sister-in-law was already asleep with half-squinted eyes, so he gently took the blanket from Lichun's hand and covered her.

Lin Qingwan opened her eyes slightly to look at her.

Lin Yubin's hands stiffened, and his face was slightly red, and he said, "Sister-in-law, I woke you up?" ”

"I wasn't asleep in the first place," she glanced at the book of poems, "finished reading?" ”

Lin Yubin nodded slightly, "What other books does my sister-in-law want to hear, I'll read it to you." ”

"Bring me the books of the outer court and read them to me."

Lin Yubin was surprised, "Why does my sister-in-law want to listen to that?" ”

"It's the end of the month, and the outer courtyard has to settle the bill, of course I have to take a look, but don't you let me read the book, then you can help me read it."

"Isn't the affairs of the outer courtyard in charge of Steward Lin?"

"Then we should be the masters of the house."

Lin Yubin obviously heard such a statement for the first time, she was a little stunned for a while, and only then tilted her head and said in confusion: "But my sister-in-law didn't care about these things before, why is she sick now that she has to take care of it?" ”

My sister-in-law is so sick and her body is not well, shouldn't she be resting and recuperating, just be happy every day, why is she busy, these days she either goes to the study to talk to her father about business, or asks someone to check the account books?
