Lin Ruhai comforted Daiyu with a smile: "Don't panic, I have my own trick."

Daiyu thought, Dad has been an official for many years, why should he teach himself?He bowed his head and laughed for a moment.

The emperor allowed Lin Ruhai to enter the palace to pay his respects, and Lin Ruhai entered the palace. After he met the emperor, he presented the prepared rituals together with corn, native products and other things.

The emperor was happy at first: "Ai Qing also presented this thing?"

"This plant has become popular in the south. Seeing that the output is quite abundant, I intend to try planting it in the north, and finally planted it. It can be seen that the emperor's kindness is great, and the soil is fertile. Therefore, I specially offer it."

Who doesn't like to hear auspicious words?The emperor was naturally overjoyed and agreed one after another.

Seeing that the emperor looked good, Lin Ruhai immediately said: "Today I have to ask the emperor for a favor."

The emperor thought he was asking for a reward or an official position, so he said cheerfully, "Go ahead."

Lin Ruhai just made a gift: "I heard that these two kinds of grains were originally produced in foreign vassal states, and they were offered because the border people admired the heavenly kingdom. The so-called ten thousand kingdoms come to the court, and being able to obtain scenery shows that the emperor governed well and made all the people submit."

Leaving aside the serious matter, the flattering made the emperor feel comfortable all over. He didn't show it on the face, but he was extremely comfortable in his heart.

"Your Majesty, since these two kinds of grains are high-yielding and easy to grow, why don't you force the county magistrates to plant them more widely? Let the common people in the border areas have to bathe in the grace of heaven."

?It's not about being an official or a title, but this is what I'm talking about.

The emperor felt relieved, Lin Ruhai was originally his confidant and important minister, even if he asked him to be promoted to a noble, it was just a matter of one word, but he didn't expect that Baba entered the palace in the twelfth lunar month to talk about Nongsang.

For a moment, he felt a little emotional: "You are different from outsiders."

God's grace is unpredictable, who knows whether the emperor thinks he is loyal to the people or thinks he is just trying to gain fame?Lin Ruhai knelt down in a hurry: "I am terrified."

"Get up." The emperor said lightly, "It's none of your business, it's the concubine in the palace who came to intercede for the children at home."

He thought for a moment that Lin Ruhai was not considered an outsider, and immediately said bitterly: "Aunt Defei's cousin owed a gambling debt outside, and his finger was cut off by the creditor, and the Jia family killed the creditor again. After crying here, but the creditor is actually the family of the Supreme Emperor's uncle, this is..."

He is really in a dilemma now, Concubine De doesn't have that much face, but Concubine De is standing behind the Wang family, and Wang Ziteng is still guarding the border for him, why did he wrong Concubine De?

Lin Ruhai said: "Concubine De's natal family and the minister's family are related by marriage, so the minister should avoid it."

Only then did the emperor remember that the wife of Lin Ruhai who died first was Aunt Defei, and immediately said: "Which families in Beijing are not relatives? You don't have to be shy, just say what you want."

Lin Ruhai thought about it and said, "These are two things: one thing is gambling with Xue Pan, the cousin of Concubine De, and another is killing the creditor."

The emperor was very interested: "It's a bit tricky, if I knew it earlier, I would have sent you to the palace to ask."

Lin Ruhai clapped his hands and said he didn't dare, and said: "Auntie De's cousin is named Xue Mingpan, he is a well-known playboy, he was bumped into by me for snatching a girl before, and he was sentenced to death. They teamed up and rescued him. He is such a villain, it is natural for him to refuse to admit his account after going to gamble."

The emperor was surprised: "Aren't you relatives? You don't turn to him."

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly: "In front of you, I also told the truth: the Jia family planted too many spies in the Lin Mansion earlier, and the wife's accompanying room filled her own pockets. The relationship has also faded, but it's just a matter of saving face."

The emperor thought that he had a sequel recently, and the whole house must be full of chaos, so he felt a lot better in an instant.

Lin Ruhai said again: "The so-called repayment of debts is justified, that is, he can't afford it. If he asks the emperor, won't the emperor help him mediate?"

The emperor couldn't help but nodded: "That's right! Would I still let a mere uncle's family bully Concubine De?"

But they completely forgot that the Xue family was not qualified to be a face saint at all.

Lin Ruhai continued to analyze: "It can be seen that he deliberately reneged on his debts. As the saying goes, he is willing to gamble and admit defeat. Although gambling is despised by honest men, if you want to gamble, you should follow the rules set by everyone."

"As the saying goes, you can't make a square without rules. Could it be that Xue Pan obeys the rules when he wins a bet, but turns his back on him when he loses?"

"As for recovering the money, that's what it should be. It's just that the method of chopping off people's fingers is too sinister."

"The second thing: kill the creditor. It's only right and proper to kill the creditor. Even if he didn't kill the emperor's mother's uncle's family, but just an ordinary family, the emperor will also uphold justice for the common people."

The emperor wearing this high hat is very comfortable.He nodded frequently.

Lin Ruhai said sternly again: "Nowadays, quite a few government orders have touched some people's pocketbooks, why do you need to offend the Supreme Emperor just because of a mere Jia family?"

These words touched the heart of the emperor, the struggle between him and the Supreme Emperor is gradually heating up, and he is almost about to meet each other, who would be willing to make the Supreme Emperor wary for a mere concubine?

Immediately, she was quite dissatisfied with Concubine De.Incidentally, he was quite dissatisfied with the Jia family and the Wang family.

"Since that's the case, then let Jing Zhaoyin deal with it impartially. If there is even the slightest grievance, let them go to the gate of the Ministry of Punishment to beat drums and complain!"

When the emperor said this, he was already a little annoyed, Lin Ruhai quickly diverted the conversation, and talked about the details of how to promote crops, distracting the emperor.

When he came out of the palace in the evening, he already had a clear idea. After a few days, the emperor really served a few tables of corn and potatoes during the banquet. this thing.

Once the emperor opened his mouth, who would not agree?So they began to plant these two crops in the territory under their jurisdiction.

Originally, these two crops were resistant to cold and drought, and had high yields. They were rare and good things among the people, and some officials flattered them and deliberately promoted them.

But it was said that Mrs. Bai got the news of Lin Ruhai, so she summoned all the heads of the farm who were resting at the mansion, and said to them: "The disaster in the field has been found out to be true. If this is the case, the land rent for this year will be exempted." Now, when you go back, organize young and middle-aged laborers to dig snow cellars as much as possible, and next spring will dig ditches to make plans for next year."

Those villa heads are all grateful, if they meet harsher masters, they will not be able to pay their accounts at the end of the year, and they will have to be replaced.

The Lin family has always been generous. What they are worried about is that this year is the first year for the new wife to take charge of the family, and it is necessary to establish her prestige. If the income of the farm in the first year is not as good as in previous years, the wife will have to face shame and criticize them.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bai would let them go like this. Of course, Mrs. Bai didn't trust them directly, but she asked around to confirm that there was a natural disaster in the farm before they were exempted from their rent.

Just as they were thanking Mrs. Bai, someone from the side had already brought out some of the capital rituals that had been prepared, and Mrs. Bai said, "They are all worthless gadgets. The year is not good this year, so you can take them to celebrate the New Year. "

Those gifts include couplets handwritten by the accountants at home, carved peach charms, and some pastries and pastries from time-honored brands in the capital. They are indeed not worth much money, but they make these restless village heads feel a lot more at ease.

They thanked Dade for thanking Mrs. Bai, and took the corn and potatoes prepared by the Lin family, just waiting for the spring plowing to struggle, so that the whole farm could go through the spring famine smoothly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Chinese New Year, and Madam Bai urged the whole house to change the door gods, couplets, and new peach charms, which seemed to be a new look.

Daiyu was also happy, it was the first time there were so many people in the mansion: father, Mrs. Bai, Second Aunt, Lin Ruiwen, and her, it can be regarded as a neat and tidy family.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Lin's family held a New Year's Eve dinner at night. In the flower hall, all the red candles were lit, and Tusu wine, acacia soup, auspicious fruits, wishful cakes, etc. were piled high on the table.

Daiyu and Lin Ruiwen both bowed to Lin Ruhai and his wife, and Lin Ruhai rewarded them with their new year's money.

Daiyu happily held the purse and listened to the swaying voice of the golden curly inside: "It would be even better if Daddy could give me Chen Daofu's volume "The Picture Axis of Narcissus leaning on the stone."

Lin Ruhai laughed: "When you get married, it will be counted as your dowry."

Daiyu blushed, Madam Bai and Second Auntie pursed their lips and smiled.

Lin Ruhai seldom joked with Daiyu like this, obviously he was in a good mood today.

After a while, the stewards, servants, and maids of the Zifu also went up, down, and down to salute the masters according to their orders. Mrs. Bai ordered the maids to spread out the purses that had been prepared for a long time.

The second aunt is a sensible person, she had long been serving Mrs. Bai serving dishes and tea. Mrs. Bai said with a smile: "Now it's Chinese New Year, you don't have to set rules in front of me, just sit down and eat when the whole family is reunited."

Second Aunt had just thanked Mrs. Bai and sat down.

Lin Ruhai announced again during the meeting that he would make Lin Ruiwen his heir.

In fact, this matter has been planned for a long time, and no one was surprised. Lin Ruiwen was a good reader at the beginning, and was brought by Lin Ruhai to teach him carefully. After getting along for a long time, he felt that this child was cautious and peaceful, without restraint or anxiety , so he had the idea of ​​​​recognizing him as an heir.

Daiyu had argued with her father about this matter before, she felt that her father was lonely and always made her daughter worry, she might as well get married while she was still in her prime.

But Lin Ruhai refused with a smile: "It is said that once the sea was too difficult for water, how many people in the world have achieved it? When your mother was young, I used to pull a deer cart with me, and she told me to continue the string before she left. If you think about it, I will do it again." To continue the marriage, no matter in the eyes of the world or your mother, it is justified."

"But..." He looked at the plum tree outside the window and laughed, "The world doesn't understand, and I don't ask the world to understand. After careful study, I actually don't understand either."

He spoke in a confused way, but Daiyu understood.
