Chapter 2 The Butterfly Effect

Half a month later, Lin Fengjin had already returned to Northern Qi.

After all, he still succumbed to the old man's broken thoughts, and in order to make his ears peaceful, he could only quietly reveal to the old man that he already had a son outside, of course, he still didn't dare to say that his son didn't follow his surname, because the old man would definitely be furious.

Although this matter can always be said to be unstoppable, but if the old man learned about it in Northern Qi, Lin Fengjin would not have thought about any peaceful life, if he knew about it in Dongxia, it would be the turn of Princess Cui to have a headache for this matter, and she would face the anger of Master Lin - Lin Fengjin has always been a person who is good at diverting contradictions.

After the forester repeatedly confirmed that the little thing in Dongxia was the seed of the Lin family, he knelt down directly in front of the ancestor's tablet and burst into tears, they were all in their fifties, and they were so excited that they were so excited that they were curled up up and down, why were they so excited?

Because their Lin family's lineage has been passed down for four consecutive generations (here the single lineage refers to the fact that only one boy was born, and there are still many daughters), that is to say, in the concept at that time, the ancestors of the Lin family had to face the risk of "extinction" at any time.

Lin Yuanwai actually knows that his son has made such a big fortune, and he must be taking a great risk to do it, how can he not know the truth that the greater the benefit, the greater the risk?

At this time, I learned that Lin Fengjin actually raised a son outside without saying a word, and suddenly a large stone fell to the ground in his heart, originally Master Lin had a lot of bad thoughts in his heart, such as whether his son likes to play with Xianggong, how can he not marry a beautiful woman like the girl of the Zuo family and the girl of the Fu family, or that he is already in bed but he is sick and does not make a woman's belly, and now these thoughts are swept away.

For Master Lin. From then on, the focus of life and the focus of life will be transferred to his grandson, at this time he has selectively ignored the fact that Lin Fengjin said vaguely on his grandson's surname, and then ignored the fact that the New Year was coming soon, and the pain of the heavy snow, he was going to Dongxia that afternoon, Lin Fengjin was dumbfounded, and felt that his father's execution was a hundred times stronger than his own.

After returning home, Lin Fengjin also nested directly in the house to recuperate, and this time it was very tiring to go out, and it could almost be said that his energy was consumed. After a few days of such a lazy cat, he finally replenished his vitality.

Next, Lin Fengjin's usual practice is to ask to see the monarch Lu Yu, Lu Yu is a pragmatic person, so if he has nothing to dangle in front of him, it will definitely not leave a good impression, but Lin Fengjin also knows that everything must have a degree, and he has also lived and died with Lu Yu in Yaocheng, and he also appreciates his talent very much.

There is a way that is too much. It's definitely not good to hang out in front of his old man often, but if you don't go at all, it's even worse, and it will make people think that you don't have any grievances in your heart and can't let them out.

So Lin Fengjin went to ask to see him. But this time he was blocked at the gate of the palace, Lin Fengjin didn't care about this, the king of this country was in a bad mood, and he didn't see anyone. That's normal, Lin Fengjin doesn't have to see Lu Yu, as long as he asks to see him, it's good that he knows about it-it's the monarch's business whether he sees it or not. Whether to come or not is a matter of Lin Fengjin's attitude.

Next, Lin Fengjin naturally went to Donglin Academy to meet his master, Lu Jiuyuan expressed a strong interest in the copy of the Four Seasons Sword Book presented by Lin Fengjin, and felt that although the moves of this sword book were still very rough, but the sword intent was integrated into life, and every qiē had a kind of mellow and natural taste, which was very rare.

Lin Fengjin secretly said in his heart that this swordsmanship should also be Wang Meng's proud work, Wang Meng's swordsmanship has been above the world's masters for decades, and he is naturally not a person who has a false reputation, this sword book contains his perception for a period of time, if it can't enter your old man's eyes, then there are few things in the world that can be seen by your old man.

On Mr. Yangming's side, Lin Fengjin took out a copy of the Tao Te Ching, which was written by Fu Mingjing in the previous dynasty, because it was a work of Fu Mingjing after his 60th birthday and drunkenness, so it is also known as the Jiazi Sutra.

This scripture can be said to be a work of hand-me-down, and its fame can be said to be very astonishing. These emperors were very fond of this Jiazi Sutra when they were alive, so they even had to bury it after death and bring it into a coffin.

Although these tomb robbers are all going to the Jiazi Sutra, the emperor's tomb is also dug up anyway, stealing the same is stealing, stealing ten things is also stealing, naturally it is a pot of serving, and by the way, the bones are also ruined, is this affected by the Jiazi Sutra?

This extremely precious scripture was naturally brought by Lin Fengjin from Wang Meng's treasure, and it was not very appropriate to say that it was smooth, it should have been taken away clearly, as soon as he took it, the eunuch who counted it next to him dared to say half a word?

Mr. Yang Ming and Wang Jingzhi, the father and son, can be famous all over the world, and their academic attainments are naturally very amazing.

After dealing with the two masters, Lin Fengjin did a great career at home, and after leaving for so long, he naturally had to sort out for a long time, check the accounts, and be busy with the inventory or something, and it happened that at this time, the shipping was also passed, and the Jiangnan specialties shipped from the south also arrived in Yedu, which immediately triggered a rush to buy.

However, doing business is not a blind mercenary, and various factors must be considered in many ways. As soon as the forester left, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but take over the heavy responsibility and sit at home. It's busy again.

When this time I was free, it was already at the end of the year, and it was time to drink Laba porridge, Lin Fengjin also remembered that he had promised one thing to people, that is, to promise Lin Li to see the legendary emperor worm, but this thing was in the hands of the Demon Worship Sect, but since the last time the Demon Worshippers were beaten in Yedu, they have disappeared since then, turning light into darkness, and even Huo Nu Yaya doesn't know how long it has been gone.

In addition, Lin Fengjin has not stayed in Yedu at all recently. The news is not well-informed, according to Lin Fengjin's understanding, it seems that he has secretly reached some secret deals with the imperial court, so it is not easy for Lin Fengjin to find someone, but if he has no clue, it is not necessarily true, because he knows that this Donglin Academy. There should be a person who has a good relationship with the demon clan, and more importantly, this person's identity seems to have taken the initiative to reveal Lin Fengjin, so it's okay to look for it.

This person is naturally the deputy judge of the Gewu Academy. The person who sold it to Lin Fengjin's martial arts, Snow Dog!

It just so happened that this time it was necessary for Lin Fengjin to inform the Gewu Academy about the connection between Lin Fengjin and the Northern Momen, so as not to make the other party dominant. Making yourself very passive is also a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

At that moment, Lin Fengjin called the wild boar and went to the Gewu Academy with him. After entering the interior of the academy, Lin Fengjin, as a disciple here, naturally wanted to show his humility, so he got off the horse and walked, he was already a student who graduated from the academy at this time, and there were many people who didn't recognize him, and there was no one to greet him, and suddenly he heard a group of scholars gathered next to him and discussed very fiercely, and suddenly a few words fell into Lin Fengjin's ears:

"As soon as Wang Meng, the national teacher of Eastern Xia, died, the situation in Xirong became tense. ”

"Brother Lu, the younger brother is going to ask for advice, this Dongxia national teacher Wang Meng is also a figure who has been famous for decades, and it is definitely not a strange thing to die, is Xirong going to use troops against Dongxia?"

“”

After Lin Fengjin heard this, his heart suddenly moved: "The situation in Xirong is unstable? It seems that what I did in Dongxia still set off a butterfly effect on Xirong's side after all." ”

Immediately, I heard that Brother Lu lower his voice mysteriously:

"You don't know the inside information, although Wang Meng, the national teacher of Dongxia, was ostensibly fighting with the East China Sea pirates and died of injuries, but in fact it is not like this, there is a saying that the merit is high and the lord is shocked, and there is another way of saying that it is a bit sensational, but it is said that the national teacher is actually seizing the luck of the monarch, so whether it is Dongxia or Xirong, the life expectancy of the monarch is not high. ”

"Tut, when Brother Lu said this, it seems that this is really the case, Dongxia has already changed the Four Monarchs Dynasty, and Xirong is even more so. Another shorter student immediately responded.

Another gentleman suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, there may really be such a thing, after Wang Meng's death, Dongxia will not have the position of national teacher, but will be replaced by a national protector, and the highest in it is only three or four grades, and the luck of the division is limited. ”

Brother Lu continued:

"Think about it, Dongxia felt that the national teacher was suspected of obstructing the master, and took action, and there are tangible historical examples to prove this, and this is a life-threatening matter, and there is no possibility of compromise, so what will the monarch of Xirong think?"

After everyone heard this, they all gasped, and another tall gentleman even high-fived and said:

"Yes, this is a major event that the two sides will suspect each other, even if the monarch has no intention of moving, but Yuan Hao, the patriarch of Xirong, must have begun to take precautions in his heart, this is like two people standing opposite each other, one person pulls out a knife, even if it is just for self-protection, but the person opposite cannot know the meaning in his heart, of course he will also draw a knife to take precautions!"

"In this way, even if both sides have no killing intent before, they will be tense in the back, and they are on the verge of breaking out, if there is a person with high prestige who can make both sides trust stand up and mediate, then it may be possible to avoid the tragedy, but the two sides of the confrontation are the great patriarch Wang Meng, who is at the peak of the world's masters, and the monarch on the other, who can stand up to mediate these two people?"

After Lin Fengjin heard these remarks, he couldn't help but take a deep look at this tall soldier, and this man spoke as if it was a commonly used spear technique in the army. Concise and to the point, it is not uncommon for him to know many situations and be able to come up with such an answer, but this person can deduce so many things from hearsay, it can really be described as extraordinary.

At this time, Lin Fengjin happened to see a junior disciple from the royal gate passing in front, and immediately pulled him to a secluded place and said:

"Do you know some of the gentlemen chatting over there?"

When the senior brother of the Wang Sect saw it, he said:

"Isn't this Senior Brother Lu Wen? His father is Lu Lang, the squire of the military department. ”

Lin Fengjin glanced at the tall gentleman, and then said:

"What about this one?"

Senior Brother Wangmen said:

"This is not from this academy, it should be someone from the Legalist side who came to the academy to participate in the literary meeting. ”

Lin Fengjin's heart suddenly sank, that Lu Wen's father was the squire of the military department. That is to say, the information Lu Wen said is likely to be quite accurate, because it should be obtained from his father, that is, the monarch of Xirong is also about to face off with the patriarch Yuan Hao?

According to the information Lin Fengjin got before, although Yuan Hao's power is stronger than Wang Meng, he will always be in a weak position in the confrontation with the monarch, because the contradictions between him and the monarch are irreconcilable. As long as the person who sits in that position, how can he be willing to let his life and luck be continuously sucked away by Yuan Hao?

No one has ever picked on this matter before, and since this matter has been broken, then Yuan Hao and Wang Meng know what to say. Honestly resigning from the government is the way to preserve, and if you don't go to the house, then there is only a place to die.

Because no matter how strong Yuan Hao is, he can kill a monarch. can kill two monarchs, but it is impossible to keep killing like this, such internal friction. The most detrimental to the national strength, even if Yuan Hao can always win, Xirong will be swallowed by the rest of the four countries, and he will also be a slave of the lost country at that time, and he will also have no luck and dragon energy blessings.

Of course, there is also a way to survive in death, that is, Yuan Hao abolished the current monarch and ascended the throne by himself, not to mention this road, to be honest, Wang Meng's chances of success may be greater than him, because Dongxia is still a country where government decrees can be passed, while Xirong is composed of several big people and forces, all of which have a long history and have been inherited for thousands of years.

Just as the people on the steppe will only obey the descendants of Genghis Khan, who is "golden blood", no matter how high Yuan Hao's prestige is, in the eyes of these leaders and big families, it is absolutely impossible to support him to be the king.

"It looks like Sijon is going to be in chaos. The corners of Lin Fengjin's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, and then he continued to walk towards the Gewu Courtyard.

Gewuyuan is also familiar with Lin Fengjin, and several small people who came to welcome guests also knew that it was a big money owner and a big buyer, so they hurriedly invited Lin Fengjin to sit inside, which can be said to be extremely thoughtful, lest there be a little slack.

Soon after he sat down, Lin Fengjin specified that he wanted to see the snow dog, but every time he came to see the snow dog, he either bargained or came to the bottom of others, and there would be nothing good, so the disciples who came out to receive Lin Fengjin from the Gewu Academy seemed to have been instructed a long time ago, and said with a sad face:

"My master said he wasn't there, oh!!no, no, no, no, it's me talking nonsense, it's my master's absence. ”

Lin Fengjin said very chic this time:

"It's okay if you're not there, I'm just here to say hello. ”

The disciple was stunned for a moment and said:

"Uh, Senior Brother Lin, please speak. ”

Lin Feng said with a smile:

"Wu Zuocheng's last order of 430,000 taels of silver, Gewuyuan should almost be completed, right?"

When the disciple heard this, he immediately said with a bitter face:

"But no, Senior Brother Lin Mingjian, the current labor costs and material costs have risen a lot, and we have already lost more than 30,000 silver, and the court judgment is about to write a letter to the past, saying that at least 300,000 taels of silver must be allocated first, otherwise, after this batch of goods is finished and sent over, we will have to work overtime for the meridian army on the border gate, please be considerate of Senior Brother Lin." ”

After Lin Fengjin heard this, he immediately smiled and said:

"The materials for the armor and Shenwu crossbow on the last batch of orders are nothing more than cow tendon, pig iron, and jujube wood, but how did I hear that the prices of these three things have fallen sharply, Senior Brother Guo is not mistaken, I have probably calculated, you can almost have eight times the profit, where does this deficit of more than 30,000 silver start?"

This Senior Brother Guo is mediocre in cultivation, but he seems to be really good at bargaining, and immediately said aggrievedly:

"Senior Brother Lin, this cow tendon, pig iron, and jujube wood are placed there, if it is not artificial, it will definitely not become all kinds of powerful war tools, right?

Lin Fengjin sighed and said:

"I sent 430,000 taels of silver last time, and the cost is about 50,000 taels, and you only invited 18 people to do the work, and the labor is worth 380,000 taels?

Senior Brother Guo seemed to have been prepared for Lin Fengjin's question a long time ago, and said with a bitter face:

"Senior Brother Lin really doesn't hide it, you don't know that the East China Sea pirates are very arrogant recently, and we have also received a lot of orders from the military, if these eighteen masters will spend their time here to process ordnance for the military, they can earn at least 410,000 taels of silver!"

What Senior Brother Guo said seemed to be reasonable, and he could refute people speechless, but he met Lin Fengjin, who was better than him and even more shameless, so he heard Lin Fengjin say with a smile:

"Then I talked to Senior Brother Guo about tea kung fu here, but I didn't earn a penny, but if I take this time to play a few games in the gambling house, I can earn more than 30,000 taels of silver, Senior Brother Guo, you owe me more than 30,000 taels of silver, so let's do it, let's have a game, and wipe the fraction, you owe me 30,000 taels of silver, and I will get the money tomorrow." ”

This Senior Brother Guo was stunned for a moment, and realized that he was a shameless person, but today he met an even more shameless one!

"Senior Brother Lin, this, this, how can you say that?"

Lin Fengjin was also stunned and said:

"Isn't this what you said, since your eighteen great craftsmen can conjure up a deficit of thirty thousand taels, why can't you owe me thirty thousand taels of silver? ”

Senior Brother Guo smiled bitterly:

"Senior Brother Lin, don't laugh, I really can't help it, if I can call the shots, I won't ask Senior Brother Lin for a penny. ”

Lin Fengjin laughed, patted his ass and stood up and said:

"Well, I'm not embarrassed for you. ”

After speaking, he took out a few silver tickets from his arms and slapped them on the table:

"No, it's clear, it's forty thousand taels here. ”

Senior Brother Guo's face suddenly became similar to that of bitter gourd, and he said with a sad face:

"Senior Brother Lin, this money is really not enough. ”

Lin Fengjin suddenly frowned and said:

"Didn't you say that there was a deficit of more than 30,000 taels of silver?

Senior Brother Guo said:

"However, Senior Brother Lin has to pay off the cost of the materials we continue to buy. ”

Lin Feng said curiously:

"What kind of cost, didn't we settle the account this time?"

Senior Brother Guo was stunned and said:

"Isn't there another order for fifty Shenwu crossbows in the future?"

After Lin Fengjin listened, he waved his hand and said sincerely:

"I'm the most worried about the country and the people, and I'm also good at being considerate of other people's difficulties, and I just heard you say that your eighteen masters actually gave up 410,000 taels of wages to take our 380,000 yuan order, and I immediately felt extremely ashamed, and I was ashamed! I can't block anyone else's financial path! Not to mention the country, how can there be a home without a country? (To be continued......) R1292
