Almost immediately, the information of the Lin clan that Lin Jiang asked her to memorize flashed in her mind, including the sixth uncle and Lin Run's.

Lin Run is quite good in the Lin family's generation, although he has taken the Ming Jing exam a few times, but he is still better than those in the clan who can't even get the exam qualifications.

Different from the sixth uncle's upright and serious, Lin Run is very tactful, and has been acting with Lin Jiang on behalf of the Suzhou Lin family all these years.

For example, if the clan wants to build an ancestral hall, the clan will send Lin Run to talk to Lin Jiang, and Lin Jiang will hand over the money and things to him and the steward to take back......

So Lin Run and Lin Jiang have a lot of contacts.

Since Lin Jiang said that there was no need to shy away from it, Lin Run no longer hid it, but asked directly in front of Lin Qingwan: "Is it true that you just said that the war is about to start and the treasury is empty, or are you fooling my father and them?" ”

"Naturally it's true," Lin Jiang said with a tired face: "Now all countries are restless, even if the war cannot afford this year, it will break out in a few years, unless something else happens to divert the attention of all countries." ”

Lin Run couldn't help but feel worried, "Then according to you, is our Lin family going to relocate?" ”

Lin Jiang shook his head and said, "The girder is so big, where can it be moved?" ”

"But Suzhou is too close to Yin and Fujian, maybe it would be better to move to Kyoto."

"When the Liao people went south, the imperial court fled from Kyoto to Yangzhou," Lin Jiang said: "And there was not one out of ten people in Kaifeng City back then, do you say that Kyoto is safe, or Suzhou is safe?" ”

Lin Run pursed his lips and was silent.

Lin Jiang said: ""The war can't afford it, there is no restless land in the world, but the war is together, the world is all in danger, even if you hide in the deep mountains and old forests, there are still fierce beasts and diseases, so unless the world is unified, you can only pray that all countries will be safe and keep themselves." ”

Lin Run's face was ugly, if the world was to be unified, war could not be avoided, and it was even more impossible for all countries to keep to themselves.

Didn't even their majesty have the ambition to rule the world?

Lin Run slumped his shoulders and asked, "Can these family properties you donate really help Daliang tide over the crisis?" ”

"It's a good idea to win."

Lin Run was silent for a while and said, "I will persuade my father to stop meddling in the affairs of the long house." ”

Lin Jiang nodded to him gently: "Thank you Fifth Brother, Sister Wan and Eldest Sister will have to take care of you more in the future." ”

Lin Run nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of them." ”

Lin Run got up and said goodbye, he didn't want to stay for a long time, otherwise the eighth uncle and Lin Yong would be suspicious.

Lin Qingwan sent him out, Lin Run stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and said with a warm smile: "Sister Wan'er, go back and take care of your cousin, I know the way." ”

Lin Qingwan also stopped, nodded and said, "Fifth brother walk slowly." ”

She stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched Lin Run walk away, then turned around and went back.

Lin Jiang had already gotten up from the bed and sat down at the table, pouring himself tea.

He wasn't as weak as he appeared, and he was just doing it to deal with the interrogation from the clan's side.

"Lin Run didn't ask much, did he?"

"No," Lin Qingwan paused and said, "He is very similar to you." ”

Lin Jiang smiled, shook his head slightly, and said: "I am only two years older than him, my father took him to study with me when I was a child, and he has always been proud of me, so he can't help but learn from me every day." ”

It's not bad now, when he was young, Lin Run had to learn from him in every move, and he was even known as Xiaolin Jiang in Suzhou.

Lin Jiang leaned back in his chair relaxedly, and said with a light smile: "This is also the reason why I chose him, originally based on seniority, prestige, etc., it should be the sixth uncle to be the patriarch." ”

It's just that his sixth uncle is too straightforward, but he is soft, and his ears are soft, and in the mirror of the sky, he did not interfere in the election of the patriarch in the third life, after all, after his death, the long house existed in name only, and there was really no need to interfere with the choice of the clan.

But because of this, the sixth uncle became the patriarch of the third generation, although he had no intention of harming Yubin, but his connivance, indecision, and indecision were the most important promoters.

That's why he started to arrange after receiving Lin Qingwan.

The first change is the arrival of Lin Qingwan, the second is the change in the disposal of property, so the third is the change in the position of the patriarch of the Lin clan.

"Lin Run is the patriarch, the sixth uncle will have no opinion, with my ability, I can still pull him up to four more rooms, but he will definitely not agree to the eighth uncle, the eleventh uncle ......" Lin Jiang paused and said: "He is not completely unambitious, if he also opposes, then the probability of Lin Run being the patriarch will be reduced to five." ”

After all, the three of them are the most senior in the clan, and if two of the three sect elders oppose it, even if he can convince the other heads of the family, the clan will not be very convinced by Lin Run.

He also pointed to Lin Run as the backing of Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin in the clan.

"I heard that Uncle Eleventh and Uncle Eight are at odds," Lin Qingwan thought for a while and said, "As long as Uncle Eight is against it, even if it is harmful to others and not to himself, Uncle Eleven will definitely support it; And whatever Uncle Eighth supports, Uncle Eleven will definitely oppose it. ”

Lin Jiang twitched his cheeks and said, "You are not familiar with this kind of thing, let Uncle Lin handle it." ”

Lin Qingwan bowed her head and turned to talk about the auction, "The total amount has been calculated, and the auction proceeds are five million two hundred and twenty-seven thousand five hundred and ninety taels, as well as the silk village, the value of the goods in the silver building is not counted, we have estimated that the value of those goods is about 158,000 taels." In this way, there are more than 5,425,000 taels in total, plus more than 6,255,000 taels in the family's treasury that are intended to be donated. ”

The territory of Daliang is not large, set into her modern country, Daliang only to Beijing in the north, Hanzhong in Shaanxi in the west, the border line is obliquely to the southeast, and only to Fujian in the south.

The area around Sichuan is now Houshu, and to the south of Houshu is the Dali State, and most of Hunan and Guangxi are the Chu State, that is, the Great Chu that is fighting with the Great Liang.

The state of Chu, Hou Shu and Daliang sandwich Jiangling Mansion, it is also an independent region, known as Nanping State, in fact, it is the Yichang area, it is so big, but it does not belong to Daliang.

To the south of Chu was the Southern Han Dynasty, which occupied Guangxi and parts of Guangdong, and to the east of the Southern Han was the independent Min State, which occupied a small part of Guangdong and Fujian.

And Yin State is sandwiched between Fujian and Daliang, and there are only two state capitals, Jianzhou and Rongzhou, but it is such a small place, and Daliang can't be taken back, because it affects the whole body.

Therefore, the territory is so large, and there are so many people, unless the tax is raised, otherwise the tax received is not much.

The state income of about 2 million taels is still in the absence of major natural disasters.

And the current emperor is not bad, although it is a troubled time, and there are constant wars with neighboring countries, but he sees the gap and reduces taxes for the people, this year's county, next year's county......

The scope of each reduction is very small, but it finally gives the people a time to recuperate. Under such circumstances, the ranks of the Liang Rebellion were much smaller than those of other countries.

But the shortcomings are also obvious, the country is very poor, and the money and food in the treasury have never been over-heeled.

Every year, the country's revenues are often divided up among the localities before they are transported into the state treasury, and the military headquarters must raise soldiers, and all localities must prepare good seeds, farm tools, and ploughing cattle for the coming year, and in places where the expenses are heavier, they must strengthen the river embankments and build water conservancy.

Two million taels, almost not long after the autumn tax was distributed, and if you want money, you have to increase the tax.

If the more than six million go up, not to mention anything else, the country will definitely be able to take a big breath, but Lin Jiang and Lin Qingwan are not at ease and hand over the money so casually.

Since there is so much money donated, of course, it is good to make a big fanfare, so that the world knows that the Lin family has taken out all the money, and there is nothing to worry about them in the future.

Therefore, Lin Qingwan announced the silver taels obtained from the auction here, which can not only urge the buyer to pay as soon as possible, but also let the world know that the Lin family has sold all the property and donated the money.

On the other side, Lin Jiang wrote an excerpt to the emperor and reported the money that could be donated, according to Lin Qingwan's meaning, how the money came from, and it was very clear one by one.

The proceeds from the auction of the property, or the silver stored in the treasury of his family, he wrote carefully and clearly, the purpose was to let people know that there was not much silver in his house.

Of course, in the end, he also clicked on the question, saying that although he had the intention of donating all, he was still selfish in the end, so he left a few thousand taels of emergency money for the weak sister and young girl.

I hope the emperor doesn't mind or something.

In the end, Lin Jiang said that there was too much money, and the emperor needed to send a credible person to escort him, what about the country's income for four years, what if he encountered a thief on the way?

This letter was finally copied by Lin Qingwan before it was sent, on the grounds that Lin Jiang was seriously ill and couldn't hold the pen, so he had to write it by Lin Qingwan.

Lin Jiang has been proud all his life, and he never thought of doing such a weak thing when he was coming, and he was very awkward for a while.

But Lin Qingwan didn't have any psychological pressure at all, so she couldn't make the emperor feel that they had no pressure to take out this money, right?

I have to let him know that the Lin family is bankrupt now, if he doesn't care, if they are bullied in the future and go to the emperor to find them, will they still remember their aunt and nephew?

When the emperor received this letter, he was so moved that he was very moved.

In his mind, he flashed back to the scene when Lin Ying was seriously ill and returned to the army, and his heart was stirred and moved for a while.

Seeing that the emperor's eyes were red, Gonggong Liu hurriedly waved his hand to let the palace people retreat carefully, and he also shrank into the shadows.

The half-ring emperor cleaned up his mood and said in a dumb voice: "Lao Liu, did you say that I only gave his sister a county lord?" ”

Gonggong Liu was silent and said: "I heard that Lord Lin also has a young daughter, which is also very lovely. ”

The emperor thought thoughtfully, "Her aunt is the county lord, so she is not good to be the same generation as her aunt, so a county lord?" This time, their family sold out all the other courtyards in other places, and they didn't even leave the courtyards in the capital, but they can't go to Beijing to live in the guest house in the future, how shabby is that? ”

Gonggong Liu smiled, "Then Your Majesty will give the county lord and the county lord a mansion, and others are not even qualified to see the good house in Your Majesty's hands." ”

The emperor was in a good mood, thought for a while, and said: "Back then, my father gave the Lin family a house, which was next door to the Lu Wangfu, but Lin Zhi disliked it and was too close to the Lu Wangfu, and looked sad, so he didn't go in to live for a day, and after returning to his hometown, he returned it directly to me, how do you say that I gave her that house?" ”

It's not that the emperor is uncomfortable with Lin Jiang, but the mansions that are now vacant in Kyoto are the best in that house, which was originally reserved for him to be crowned queen, so it was arranged next to his eldest brother's mansion.

His father gave this mansion to the Lin family back then, and Lin Ying accepted it, but Lin Zhi hated the two princes of King Lu and King Qi, even if they were dead, let alone living next to their former mansion, he didn't even want to hear their titles.

So I haven't been in to live for a day, I'd rather live in my own courtyard, and I'm not even willing to send someone to maintain it, and the emperor has always kept someone to take care of the house there, and the emperor is responsible for all the expenses of the subordinates.

The emperor emphasized again, "That mansion is really good, and the layout in it back then was planned by me myself......"

It's just that he didn't live in it and became an emperor.
