There were many short-term workers who saw that the old man had changed food with him, and only a small part of the copper money was withdrawn, and he couldn't help but learn that he had to pay with food.

Lin Qingwan did not stop it, and asked people to choose more than 20 short-term workers and take them to the warehouse to carry grain.

Although only a small number of people switched to food payment, they also needed a lot of food, and directly moved out half of the warehouse.

The bags of grain piled up at the door were very spectacular, and the short-term workers who just wanted to take the money and go home immediately hesitated, and also considered changing some food.

However, unlike the elderly and their relatives, who exchanged almost all their wages for food, they only exchanged one or two bags of grain.

This is already the limit, they prefer copper coins to grain.

Chief Steward Zhong couldn't help but look at Lin Qingwan, who bowed slightly to him and didn't stop him.

It wasn't until the grain in the warehouse became less and less that Lin Qingwan said: "The food is not enough, I still have long-term workers and farmers under my hands, and they all want to eat." Now you can only exchange so much, let's even out and withdraw some more copper coins. ”

Someone smiled and asked, "The owner has harvested so much grain this autumn, why is it gone?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "I owed a lot of things on credit before, and the grain was sold or offset when it came down, and there was not much left, otherwise I wouldn't have settled the wages at this time and let you go home." ”

Steward Zhong's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Lin Qingwan meant, took her words, and cried while settling the wages for people: "Do you think we will harvest a lot this year?" We didn't know that we spent more, not to mention anything else, just the fruit trees and flower trees on the other side of the garden. ”

As he spoke, he compared a number to everyone.

Everyone was stunned, "Why is it so expensive?" ”

"One is that the place is big over there, and there are many fruit trees, and the other is that the tree you bought is big, and it must bloom in spring next year, how much does it cost to see this one?" Chief Steward Zhong sighed, "And there are so many of you, aren't the food and drink every day all money?" Plus the wages...... Before, many things were paid on credit, but now that the autumn harvest is down, we can't delay it any longer, and this checkout only to find that the previous expenses were too great. ”

He shook his head, lowered his voice and said: "The owner is good at everything, but he is too young and doesn't know how to be thrifty, and now he is about to run out of cooking before he thinks of saving, alas~"

The short-term workers are silent, the treatment of the Lin family is indeed good, otherwise they would not have come all the way to work here.

Thinking of the things that the Lin family added last year and this year, everyone believed the words of Lin Qingwan and Chief Steward Zhong.

Not to mention anything else, just the cattle in the pasture, they may be able to buy a cow after saving a lifetime, but looking at how many cows there are, it must cost a lot.

When the workers received the completion money, the Lin family's aunt and grandmother spent too much, and the news that they had spent all their savings was also spread.

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and those who heard it were convinced: "That aunt and grandmother don't know how to be thrifty, and even the stewed meat soup for the workers is not small, you see how long the autumn harvest lasts, as soon as the accounts are cleared, the family is empty, and you have to wait for the cloth to be woven and sold before the money turnover." So this housekeeper still has to be diligent and thrifty. ”

After sending the short-term workers away, Lin Qingwan asked people to gather the long-term workers and train them on their behalf.

"I don't want them to be so powerful, I just hope that they can not panic and listen to the command when they really encounter something." Lin Qingwan sighed, "The war may not affect Suzhou, just in case." ”

Fang Datong patted his chest with a calm face and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely train them." ”

In addition, it is time to arrange it well in Zhuangzi, Steward Lin and Steward Zhong glanced at each other, and they all moved.

The whole Zhuangzi entered a state of nervous alert, and the long-term workers were divided into several groups, except for one group that was transferred to work in turn every day, everyone else had to gather for training.

Even the people in the other courtyard joined in.

The coaches are all retired from the army, although they are all disabled, but their skills and experience are still there, and it is more than enough to teach them.

Fang Datong also led people to set traps around Zhuangzi, although it was not dense, but it was better than nothing.

Lin Qingwan led the guards of the other courtyard to seal the underground grain warehouse filled with grain and camouflaged it.

At this time, it was too late to transfer the grain, and I only hoped that everyone would believe what she said earlier, thinking that their family's grain was only those in the warehouse.

The movement of the Lin family's courtyard is so big, Suzhou City has heard some rumors, most people think that Lin Qingwan is worried, even Mrs. Shang laughed and said: "In the end, there is little experience, the Southern Han Dynasty is far away from our Suzhou, send someone to talk to her, pitiful, don't frighten the child." ”

He added: "If she is afraid, she will take her and Yubin to come and live, and we will not be afraid if we two make a place." ”

Zhou Tingshi also had a black line, and said to his staff: "I thought that this county lord was so bold, after all, he could support the Lin family's house, but who knew that it was just the rebellion of the Southern Han Dynasty that scared him like this." ”

People are against the royal family of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the most chaotic is also the Southern Han Dynasty, and they should be nervous, what are she afraid of living in Suzhou?

I don't know, I think they are in a mess in Suzhou.

The situation in the Southern Han Dynasty was a little tense, but there were really not many people in Suzhou who really cared about it, and even fewer were affected.

The people live as usual, the ladies meet to play or watch the play as usual, the old men also talk about business and drink and have fun as usual, and the sons and ladies also have their own pastimes.

I am afraid that the biggest impact is that the price of grain is slowly rising, but fortunately, the magnitude is not large, and it is still within the acceptable range of the people.

At this time, Lin Qingwan's movements seemed very abrupt, but fortunately, she was outside Suzhou City, and everyone's strange gaze could not affect her.

The city of Suzhou is relatively peaceful, but I don't know that there is a disturbance in the Qintianjian and the palace in the capital.

Qin Tianjian observed that the celestial phenomena had changed a few days ago, and the supervisor always felt uneasy, and spent five days finally deducing some things, and then found the celestial situation of last year, and spent another three days deducing, and after being more certain, he went to see the emperor overnight.

At this time last year, there was also a change in the celestial phenomena, and there were no major events at home and abroad at that time, and Qin Tianjian only counted the blessings and misfortunes that depended on each other, and more could not be counted.

For example, today seems to have changed again, coupled with the incident in the Southern Han Dynasty, the situation has gradually become clear.

Qin Tianjian told the emperor that the celestial phenomena of the previous days indicated that the Zhang clan of the Southern Han Dynasty had died, and last year's celestial phenomena were a warning that Lu Jing was on the throne, not only the Southern Han Dynasty was in turmoil, but it was impossible for the Great Liang to be alone.

But this is actually more beneficial than disadvantageous to Daliang, and the Qintian Supervisor was kneeling on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the opportunity to collect the Southern Han has arrived, and this is the opportunity for God to send me Daliang." ”

The emperor clenched into a fist, lowered his eyes in contemplation, and asked aloud after half a sound, "You just said that these two visions are blessings and misfortunes?" ”

"Yes, but in Yu Chen's opinion, the opportunity of Daliang is greater than the crisis, Your Majesty, there is nothing in the world, you can't let the Southern Han Dynasty give the country away, right?"

Now that the opportunity has appeared, it is up to them to take it, and the crisis is bound to exist, but once it succeeds......

Not to mention the emperor, even the internal supervisors on the side were all bright-eyed, as if they saw the scene of the unification of the world.

The emperor has always been steady, and he couldn't help but be excited at this time, he got up and said, "Xuanliubu Shangshu and several generals are here." ”

Waiting for these adults to enter the palace was another debate.

Originally, the Southern Han Dynasty rebelled, and they only had to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, even if it was the border of Lu Jing and Chen soldiers, they didn't think he dared to attack on a large scale.

The national strength of the Great Liang is already stronger than that of the Southern Han Dynasty, and now the Southern Han Dynasty is in chaos, and Lu Jing will attack on a large scale because he is brainless, and everyone thinks that this time it is just a small fight.

Now the relationship between Da Liang and Da Chu is stalemate, and everyone doesn't have much to pay attention to Nanhan, so they never thought of taking the opportunity to subdue Nanhan or anything.

So Qin Tianjian came to the conclusion that they were fried.

Some proposed to take the opportunity to subdue the Southern Han, while others were worried that the subjugation would not succeed but would fail.

You must know that in this era, blessings and misfortunes are only in a moment.

If they can't defeat the Southern Han Dynasty, they invest too much, so that the Northern Liao and Western Chu who are eyeing each other take advantage of the situation, then their Liang will only destroy the country in an instant.

But if it is defeated, and it supports the attack of Northern Liao and Western Chu......

In the future, it may be the girder who will dominate the world.

The ministers glanced at each other, and they were all a little moved.

The hall was silent for a while, and they didn't know how to choose.

The emperor was anxious and asked the secretary of the military department, "From the perspective of Qingqing, if the war starts, what are our chances of winning?" ”

The secretary of the military department was silent and said for a while: "If the grain and grass are sufficient, and the armament is sufficient, the odds of victory are between five and five." ”

The Emperor looked at Tobe Shangshu.

Hubu Shangshu gritted his teeth and said: "If Your Majesty insists on going to war, the minister will risk death to provide four months of grain and grass for three sides, and there will be no more." ”

The emperor slapped the table fiercely and said loudly: "Good! ”

He stared at them with blazing eyes and said: "Dali Temple and Yushitai selected honest and honest people as the supervising army, and followed the whole process from the beginning of the preparation of grain and grass. ”

The people outside the palace did not know that the Emperor and the eight ministers had made a decision that would determine the life and death of the country tonight, and that this decision was made by a vision observed by the Qin Heavenly Eunuch.

In the western suburbs of Suzhou City, Lin Yubin is following his aunt to pay tribute to his ancestors in the courtyard.

She also naively thought that her father was greeting her during last year's celestial anomaly, and she didn't know that the vision was involved in the rise and fall of a country.

Lin Qingwan took the incense and bowed three times, looked up at the shining stars in the sky with clear eyes, and said secretly: Lord Lin, if you are still in the sky, I hope you can bless us to survive this war safely.

Sister Wan, may you and Xie Erlang be safe and smooth in their next life, and their lovers will eventually become married.

Lin Yubin put the incense on the incense burner, and when she looked back and saw tears shining in her aunt's eyes, she couldn't help but step forward and hold her hand, Lin Qingwan came back to her senses, lowered her head and smiled at her, put the incense on the incense burner, watched them fall little by little, and said softly: "Don't worry." ”
