Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system

"Qingshan Academy teaches students in accordance with their aptitude, and children learn a lot from the gentlemen." Speaking of Qingshan Academy, Lu Rui's eyebrows curved, and he could tell that he was very happy there.

"That's good. Can you practice the mental method I taught you?"

"Child, don't be lazy for a day." Lu Rui paused, then picked up the stone on the side, "Mother, is this stone the iron ore mentioned in the book?"

"Yes, it is not only iron ore, but also iron ore with a high iron content." Lin Jiu turned around and took out an ancient book from the bookshelf and placed it in Lu Rui's hand, "This book explains how to find If you are interested in gold, silver, copper, iron and other ores, you can study them carefully, but one thing is that no outsiders should know about this."

"Gold, silver, copper, iron, and salt have always been under the supervision of the imperial court. Once they are touched, it will be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the family. Therefore, the discovery of iron ore in Taoshan today must not be known to anyone. If others ask, you should also take a sip. I’m determined, the stones on Peach Mountain are peach blossom stones, do you understand?”

"Mom, the child understands." Lu Rui knew that his mother did not intend to report this matter. It just so happened that he did not want people to know that there was special ore on Taoshan Mountain.

Ten years later...

"Tui'er went to ask why there are so many beggars on Jianing Street?" Lin Jiu originally wanted to inspect the shops, but she didn't expect to find many beggars on the street.

"Yes."

After a while, Cui'er returned to Lin Jiu.

"Madam, I found out that these people are originally from Yuzhou. This year there is a severe drought in Yuzhou, and the fields have no harvest. The people of Yuzhou have no choice but to flee in all directions."

"There is a severe drought in Yuzhou? Isn't the imperial court providing disaster relief?"

"The disaster has been reported to the authorities, but instead of allocating relief food, the authorities even said that the people had no food to eat, so why didn't they eat meat soup?"

"Why don't you eat minced meat? Why don't you eat minced meat?" Lin Jiu almost laughed at this superior man.

"Tui'er, let's go back to the house first, and let someone send a message to the eldest young master and the second young master to ask them to return to the house as soon as possible."

"Yes."

After returning to the mansion, Lin Jiu immediately found the housekeeper.

"lady."

"Uncle Lu, how much food does our Lu family have now?"

"The past two years have not been good, and my wife also told me early in the morning to save as much grain as possible and not to buy it, so the Lu family currently has 500,000 dans of grain, and the village can still receive 5,000 dans of new grain this year."

“Have you seen the extra beggars in Jianing?”

"Saw."

"Now that the victims are pouring into Jianing, we can't see anything yet. Something will happen over time. From tomorrow on, the government will arrange people to strengthen patrols. In addition, you and Grandma Lu will go to the victims and look for the honest man. Do your share of the work.”

"Yes."

"Madam, the two young masters are back."

"Let them in."

"The child has met his mother. I wonder why the mother wants to recruit the child back?" Lu Rui asked.

"There is a severe drought in Yuzhou, you know it!" The two children at Qingshan Academy should be much better informed than she is.

"I know that the academy is organizing a fundraiser to prepare for the relief of these victims who come to Jianing."

"Yes, mother, don't we have food at home? Let's donate more food this time." Lu Han looked at Lin Jiu with his innocent eyes.

"Ruier, what do you think?" Lin Jiu looked at Lu Rui.

"A large number of victims flooded into Jianing, which was fine for a short period of time, but if it lasted for a long time, it would inevitably intensify the conflict between the victims and the local people in Jianing. Therefore, what my son meant was that it would be best to gather these victims in one place and manage them, except for exceptions. We just need to step up patrols, and since there are not many victims now, it’s best to build higher walls in Lujiazhuang, and the same goes for Linjiazhuang.”

"Mother, the court is not taking any action now and is allowing the victims to wander around without any thought of relief. If this continues in the long run, the world will be in chaos."

"Rui'er, you have to know that the general trend of this world must be united for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time. The Song Dynasty has lasted for more than a hundred years. Today's royal family has long lost the ambition of the founder, and only pursues pleasure. It does not care about the lives of the people at all. , such a court will be finished sooner or later."

"However, no eggs are left behind when a nest is overthrown. Once war breaks out, ordinary people will always be the unlucky ones."

Lin Jiu sighed in his heart. The old emperor died suddenly last year, and the new emperor who ascended the throne was only six years old. The emperor was still young and could not govern personally. The court was controlled by King Cheng. Cheng Wanwan had the emperor in his hands, and he was ten years old. The 20-year-old granddaughter, the daughter of Princess Jingmin and Lu Yusheng, married the emperor.

After the young emperor married Princess Jingmin's daughter, he named Princess Jingmin the eldest princess Jingmin. For this reason, Princess Jingmin went to the Lu family to show off her power, but Lin Jiuquan regarded this person as nothing.

King Cheng controlled the government and eliminated dissidents. Because the Lu family and the Lin family had old grudges with Princess Jingmin, King Cheng also ordered people to suppress the Lu and Lin families. Even those officials who came out of Qingshan Academy were suppressed by King Cheng. If it were not for the high reputation of the Lu and Lin families among the officials in this life, they would have fallen into the hands of King Cheng like they did in the previous life.

"Mother, we have had a long-standing grudge with Prince Cheng's Mansion, and I'm afraid Prince Cheng won't let us go," Lu Rui said.

"Rui'er, if you shoot the first bird with a gun, the centipede will die without becoming stiff."

"Don't worry, mother, your child knows how to behave." Lu Rui saluted respectfully.

"It's best if you understand that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Besides, this is not the best time." Lin Jiu smiled and put a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" in Lu Rui's hand.

"Brother, mother, aren't we discussing the resettlement of the victims? What riddles are you playing?" Lu Han looked at his mother and brother in confusion.

"You! Just listen to your brother." Lin Jiu flicked his forehead.

"Mom, my son has grown up. He can't slap his forehead anymore." Lu Han touched his forehead and muttered softly.

"No matter how old you are, you are still a little kid in front of your mother."

"Mother~"

"Okay, why are you still acting coquettishly with your mother when you grow up? Didn't you say before that you wanted to lead troops in war and become a general? How about you train the servants for your brother?" Lu Rui touched his brother's head, But my thoughts have already wandered to nowhere.

"Well, don't worry, brother, I will definitely train these servants to be the most powerful servants. I will definitely protect the Lu family." Lu Han responded with a smile.

"Brother, run!" Looking at his younger brother's confident smile, for some reason, Lu Rui suddenly remembered the scene in his dream many years ago, when his younger brother desperately protected him and told him to run.

"Brother, brother." Lu Han waved his hand in front of Lu Rui.

"Ah... Han'er, what's the matter?" Lu Rui came back to his senses and saw his brother and mother looking at him with worried faces.

"What were you thinking just now? My mother and I called you for a long time but you didn't respond. Brother, why are you crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
