Although Lin Bi was helpless, he had no choice.

Who made his eldest son useless?

Obviously a pillar of the material, partial life was jealous of God, gave him a tattered body, over twenty years old has been terminally ill, recently the doctor told him privately, you can prepare for the eldest son.

His heart sank at that time, and while he was grieving, he also knew that this Anyuan Houfu could not be completely reduced because of the death of his eldest son.

He is already in his forties this year, and even if he is in good health, he can last for another twenty years at most, and that is when he is very lucky and in good health.

If there is any accident in the middle, it depends on these sons in the house......

Alas, the sons are stupid, they don't know the overall situation, they only know how to fight in the nest, and only this newly found fourth son, Lin Tian, can shape it.

Therefore, Lin Hua has been teaching him, but he has not asked him for the position of prince in time.

I just want to see how far I can hold him.

If he can't pick up this big beam, he won't hand over the Hou Mansion to him, and if he can afford it, he will naturally take action to quell the infighting of these brothers and let them continue the Hou Mansion well.

Thinking like this, Lin Hua said: "The emperor set up the Governor Department for two purposes, one is to share Pei Qingyan's worries, dilute the rights of the Embroidery Division, so that he no longer needs to be on the cusp of the storm at all times, and the other is to let you and Pei Qingyan restrain each other, the so-called art of balance is the art of the emperor, whoever is the only one will become the target of the public, only by balancing each other, can we take the way of immortality, do you understand?" ”

Lin Tian suddenly understood.

"So, I'm just a tool that His Majesty uses to balance Pei Qingyan?"

"Yes, so not only can't you put Pei Qingyan to death, but you have to pull him in at the right time, so that you two come and go, no one can tell the difference, and you both can live well."

Lin Tian was silent.

He had to admit that his father was right.

He actually sensed a little bit before, but it was like a layer of fog, and he couldn't understand it, but now that he was analyzed by his father like this, it suddenly became all clear.

Lin Qian sighed: "My son understands, my son will be the deputy commander." ”

"Well, Lord Zhang didn't respond to tonight's banquet, did he?"

Lin Tian nodded.

"He said we had just been appointed and we didn't have to be too ostentatious, so we won't be here tonight."

An Yuanhou smiled.

"Zhang Ying is a treacherous old official, you can learn a lot by following him, study hard, young man."

After speaking, he patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and left.

Lin Tian stood there, frowning slightly, half loud, and then left.

Qingzhou.

The carriage traveled for nearly ten days before it arrived in Qingzhou.

It's not that the capital is so far away from Qingzhou, but that Song Anning himself was delayed on the road.

When she went, she found that there were hungry people on the roadside, and they were starving all over the wilderness.

When he returned, the situation was not only not improved by the government, but worsened.

Song Anning's mood was heavy.

She is not a virgin, she knows that if the troubled times come, it will be difficult to help with her own weak strength, but she still can't bear it, so she asked Qingxuan to contact the local government to see if she can open a porridge shed in the name of the Song family firm to help the victims.

Naturally, the government has no opinion.

Song's Commercial Bank is the largest merchant in Qingzhou, and its trading houses are naturally all over the country, although its reputation in other places is not high, but it is still easy to open a porridge shed.

Song Anning has been busy for several days, and she has only been busy with a few states and counties, after she opened the porridge shed, she handed it over to the local shopkeeper, and all the money spent was handed back to Qingzhou every month and she was to settle it.

The shopkeepers are also happy to help.

That's why Song Anning took so long to come back.

After returning to Qingzhou, she came to the prefect's yamen according to Pei Qingyan's words and handed over the letter from Pei Qingyan to Xu Qingsong, the prefect of Qingzhou.

Xu Qingsong is a scholar with a long beard, but he looks only about 30 years old.

Those who can sit in this position at this age must not be the children of a poor family, and it is true that the Xu family's base camp is in the capital, Xu Qingsong has an uncle who is an official in the court, and he is a third-grade official, and he was promoted by his uncle to serve as the prefect of Qingzhou at the age of thirty.

And the reason why he has such a long beard is just because he is a baby face, he looks tender, and he often can't suppress his subordinates and those Diao people, and everyone thinks that he is weak and can be bullied, so he has such a long beard to add majesty to himself.

Song Anning couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

Xu Qingsong didn't mind her laughing, he opened the letter in front of her, and frowned after reading it.

"The more I was asked to stock up on food, build a high wall, and suspend the reception of refugees from all over the country."

Song Anning was stunned.

Healed?

Xu Qingsong was stunned when he saw her, and he was also stunned for a moment, before he patted his head and laughed.

"I forgot, you may not know this, Pei Qingyan, his surname is Pei Qingyan, the more the word, this word was taken by the emperor for him, and the more he likes it, so our friends call him that."

Song Anning asked curiously, "Lord Xu is his friend?" ”

"yes." As if remembering something, Xu Qingsong showed a nostalgic expression, "He is eight years younger than me, when I was still studying in the capital, he was the head of those princes, and often took everyone out of the palace to play, and I also met them unintentionally, but the princes and princes were too noble, I didn't dare to get too close to them, but I was implicated in a dispute between friends or something, but I was very close to Pei Qingyan, and the two have known each other since then. That's when we made a friendship. ”

Song Anning nodded suddenly.

"I see."

Xu Qingsong said: "Although I don't know why Yue Zhi asked me to do this, but he must have his reason, he is in charge of the embroidery department, the news comes wider than me, before I saw that the refugees outside the city were too pitiful, so I put it in batches, now it seems that it is not done, in fact, it has long been gone, the grain in the official warehouse in the city is almost finished by me, but this refugee is still endless, I really don't know when it is a head." ”

Song Anning was silent.

When is it a head?

No, there is no head at all, and now it's just the beginning.

She suddenly understood Pei Qingyan's intention in sending this letter.

The world is about to start to mess up, there are so many refugees now, and there will only be more in the future.

Xu Qingsong, the prefect of Qingzhou, is kind-hearted and opened a warehouse in advance to help the people, so when the situation cannot be controlled, all the refugees will come to hear the wind, and then Qingzhou will become a human purgatory, not to mention relieving those disaster victims, and may not even be able to protect the people in his own city.
