When Liwen's wife was flat, Lin Zhenwen got up early the next morning.

He called the elders of the clan, and called the brothers of the other two houses to bear witness. Because the Wen family was buried in the village, the etiquette was simple, just after inviting the eight characters, the name was recorded in the family tree, and the tablet was enshrined in the ancestral hall.

When Lin Yi'an arrived at the ancestral hall, the people had already dispersed. When she stepped into the high relief purple wood threshold of the ancestral hall of the Lin Mansion, she looked up and saw Wen Shu's spirit tablet in it.

Mother, you are finally no longer a concubine, and you can finally walk into this Lin Mansion ancestral hall justifiably.

Did you see it in heaven?

"What a means!"

Li walked out of the side door, she lost her previous jewelry, and now she only wore a plain long jacket, not a hairpin.

"It's only been a little more than a month, and you ruined Yuehua, and now even Wen's tablet has entered the ancestral hall. Lin Yi'an, I knew that you had such a means, I shouldn't have kept you alive in the first place. ”

Lin Yi'an covered his mouth and chuckled, his bright eyes were full of disdain: "That's a pity." I'm still alive, and you're not only trapped in the ancestral hall, but you also have a daughter to marry, so what's the matter? ”

"My mother and my eldest brother haven't finished their accounts yet. You'd better kneel here every day, look at my mother's tablet, and atone for your sins, maybe I'll be soft-hearted and let Lin Yueman go? ”

Li snorted coldly: "Yuehua is stupid, so she will be assassinated by your sisters. The full moon is not something you can easily bully. Don't rejoice too early, it's too early to see who wins and who loses. ”

"Let me guess." Lin Yi'an walked up to Li's side and whispered in her ear, "Is it the East Palace?" ”

Li Shi was shocked, her eyes were like sharp blades, and she couldn't wait to break Lin Yi'an's body into pieces.

"This is also the only bargaining chip for you and your second sister." Lin Yi'an sighed slightly, "The second sister is really unlucky, there is a mother who has thought about it in the ancestral hall, and a sister who has declared it ruined, do you really think that anyone in the East Palace can enter?" Even if you enter, how long can you live in such a cannibalistic place? ”

"Since I thought about it in the ancestral hall, the things outside have long had nothing to do with you. Lady, you are old and useless. ”

Lin Yi'an shook his head and walked towards the outside of the ancestral hall.

The snow embroidered shoes of the Baling Jade Rabbit Regiment stepped on the green brick road, and the smoky purple armor fluttered in the wind, and Lin Yi'an felt happy! At the corner of the verandah stood a familiar figure.

"Who is the fourth brother waiting for?"

Lin Zhichang bowed: "There is something that has disturbed me for a long time, and I want to ask my sister." ”

Lin Yi'an also saluted: "I want to hear about it." ”

"Does my sister know about Longshou Qu?" Lin Zhi asked.

The Longshou Canal is a water conservancy project in Dajin, connecting the capital Yejing with the southern Taizhou Youzhou area. If the construction is completed, it will definitely be a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. At the end of last year, the Longshou Canal was supposed to be completed, but who expected that Taizhou would be flooded, and countless displaced people would break out. In addition, the distribution of rice and grain in the imperial court was not enough, and the workers were passive and slack, resulting in the construction period of Longshou Canal being delayed again and again.

Chen Zhiyuan, the prince of the British Dynasty, was responsible for this matter, which should have been a great achievement, but he was reprimanded by the Holy God for not completing it for a long time. This matter is so popular, how can Lin Yi'an not know?

"It's not as simple as it seems. The fundamental reason why the Longshou Canal could not be completed was that there was not enough silver taels to distribute to the workers and the displaced people in Taizhou. And the reason for this is not that the treasury is insufficient, but that some people are deliberately embarrassed and deliberately delay the construction period. ”

The affairs of the court should not have come to ask a woman, but for some reason, Lin Zhi felt that his sister was not ordinary, and her vision was not trapped in the back house like ordinary women. Of course, he had more of an attitude of giving it a try, after all, he had never seen a woman in the court who could influence the world.

"Is it His Royal Highness King Cheng?" Although it was an inquiry, the tone was affirmative. Lin Yi'an saw that Lin Zhi could not be denied, and said; "I think the household department must have used the excuse of disaster relief for the displaced people to withhold the workers' salaries and not pay them, so as to take advantage of this incident to hit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hard."

A woman raised in the boudoir can see these things in the court so thoroughly, Lin Zhi has seen it for the first time.

"My father has been promoted to the head of the household, why didn't the fourth brother seek his father's help?"

"The forces of the DPRK and China are intertwined, my father was the first Shangshu, and his foundation is unstable, and he can't easily make decisions about the affairs of the household department now. What's more......" Lin Zhi sighed inexplicably, "he is a steady neutral. If it weren't for a one-and-done benefit, he would never let the Lin Mansion get involved in partisan contention. Therefore, to solve the problem of Longshou Canal, it is necessary to start from elsewhere. ”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi'an had already come up with the answer: "In fact, the problem is not in the money. Fourth brother, I only ask you two questions. ”

"First, has the price of grain in Taizhou risen sharply?"

Lin Zhi thought about it, but a minister mentioned at the court meeting today that Taizhou merchants took advantage of this natural disaster to hoard grain and sell it at a high price. He nodded: "Exactly, it is said that a bucket of rice costs 200 Wen." ”

"Second, how much money do workers get in January?"

"About a tael of silver."

"Then it's easy." Lin Yi'an smiled.

Simple? This thing that made him and Chen Zhiyuan break their heads, she actually said that it was simple? Lin Zhi was puzzled: "I would like to listen to my sister." ”

"Workers work hard for only one tael of silver a month, which is only enough to buy two and a half buckets of rice, and they can't even support themselves, let alone their families. Naturally, they don't work hard. ”

"But the household department withholds the money and doesn't pay it, and there is really no way to give them a wage increase." Lin Zhidao.

"Wage increase?" Lin Yi'an smiled: "Fourth brother, no matter how much you raise the wages of workers, you will definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of rising food prices." In fact, the workers are just trying to get food and clothing, and since they can't come up with money to send it, it's better to change the way and send food directly. Do more and take more, do less and take less. Grain is used in lieu of money, and distribution is made according to work. It is believed that the Longshou Canal will be completed soon. ”

Lin Zhi's eyes showed appreciation: "My sister is really smart!" How could I not have thought of such a plan? He then said, "If this method is feasible, I will definitely invite my sister to do it." ”

Lin Yi'an: "No need. It was a sin for a woman to say that the court was a sin, but An Niang really didn't dare to do it. These words should be An Niang's ignorant words, and I hope that the fourth brother will not make a noise. ”

"But ......"

Lin Zhi felt that it was not good to take credit from others for nothing. Before the guilt was born, the corners of Lin Yi'an's mouth curved, and he stepped forward and said, "If this matter is done, why don't the fourth brother do An Niang a favor?" ”

I know that this sister is a master who does not suffer. Lin Zhi took a step back and said, "You must do your best." ”

Back in Xiangmantang, Lin Yi'an saw Lin Baiwei leaning her head on the small table, and a sumptuous lunch had been placed on the table, obviously waiting for her to come back to eat. Her heart warmed, and she walked over and said, "If you are hungry in the future, eat first, don't wait like this, if I don't come back one day, you should be hungry." ”

Lin Baiwei Nunu mouthed, hugged Lin Yi'an's hand and said: "I will wait for you to eat every day in the future, and when you are outside, you must remember that there is a little sister waiting for you to come home." ”

Lin Yi'an shook his head helplessly. Since Bai Wei no longer pretended, she always loved to stick to her. Xu wanted to think that she had really had a hard time in the previous years, walking on thin ice with Lin Yuehua at a young age, and enduring the contempt and disdain of others.

Lin Yi'an reached out and scratched Lin Baiwei's nose: "Got it." Let's go, let's eat. ”

Holding his sister's hand, Lin Yi'an felt extremely happy and a little sad.

Brother, I miss you.
