It is difficult for men and women of wealthy families to cross

In the Lin family in the south of the Yangtze River, Mr. Lin stood under a tree with his hands behind his back and looked up at the leaves that should have been lush. Now the tree only has dead branches, so there are no leaves.The members of the Lin family were all standing behind the old man. They already knew about Lin Jixin's imprisonment.They knew a little about how their mother passed away. At the beginning, they hated their aunt, but gradually, they transferred their hatred to their mother. Since they had already left the Lin family, why did they go back? It is not necessary to have the Lin family.While they were dissatisfied with their mother, they also felt sorry for Lin Jixin who had grown up like this.

"Father, if it's small, it's concealment of Jixin, but if it's big, it's a crime of deceiving the emperor." What Lin Jixin has done these years, they are very clear, and they let her torment, as long as If their interests were not touched, they would just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to participate in the imperial examination. They did not agree to go to Beijing. If the old man did not support it, Lin Jixin would not be able to escape no matter how brave he was.

"According to the current situation, it might be impossible at a young age?" Everyone couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking.

Master Lin, no, to be precise, his surname is not Lin. He is the son-in-law who married in and took his wife's surname. What was his original surname? After decades of being called Mr. Lin, he can't remember.Mr. Lin was silent for a long time. After the child yelled a few times, Mr. Lin didn't respond and just stood quietly.No one knew what was going on in his heart, let alone what kind of mood he had made the decision to let Lin Jixin go to Beijing.

"Father, we all know that you love Jixin, but this matter involves a whole family, you can't let our whole family be buried with her."

"Even if it is buried with him, the Lin family in Liaocheng can't be left behind." These words were clearly expressing anger. Lin Jixin's going to the capital to take the exam has nothing to do with the Lin family in Liaocheng.

"Jixin didn't want to drag the whole family into the water for revenge!" I don't know who opened the mouth, and everyone else followed suit. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed to be the case.

"Father, we have to figure out a solution as soon as possible!" A Di with a puffy belly looked anxious. The child in his stomach was condemned to death before he could see the world, how cruel.

Except for Mr. Lin who was looking at the tree calmly, everyone in the Lin family showed worry and anxiety!But no matter how they argued, quarreled, and cried, Master Lin just kept silent and just stared at the tree in a daze every day.Just like a dead tree can grow new leaves.It's just a dead tree, how can it sprout new shoots.

Lin Jixin, who was imprisoned in the capital, stood under the window, looking at the high window, looking at the sky through the window, Lin Jixin was complicated, did he regret it?I can't say if there is, but I feel a little regretful that Lin Jishan and even the Lin family from Liaocheng were not dragged in.If Lin Jishan hadn't met the wise man, she would definitely not be the one who was imprisoned.Why?Why did Lin Jishan have such a great karma? If it wasn't because of him, maybe at this time, her family's great enmity would have been avenged.

The officials of the four counties looked at the newspapers that came out of Beijing, and they all secretly hated, how could they forget this, and they were still guessing why the new county magistrate didn't mention this matter, and didn't expect to wait for them here.Holding the newspaper, what they were worried about was whether the emperor would see it. While worrying about this, a group of people were still praying. Even if they saw it, there was no real evidence that it would be wrong.

The faces of some ministers in the court were ugly. They didn't believe that the third prince really went to the city gate with nothing to do. In their opinion, the third prince definitely did it on purpose, and maybe it was the emperor's intention. If So... some ministers were sweating coldly, and cautiously, they quickly raised their heads to glance at the emperor's face. When they lowered their heads, they felt that their foreign official uniforms were already soaked, and they became more and more sure of their guess just now.While frightened, he still did not forget to scold people who are greedy for money in his heart. It is not good to be greedy for money, how can you be greedy for relief money, and you are not afraid of losing your life.If the officials of the four counties knew what the backstage they relied on was thinking, they might bite them. When they paid tribute to them, why didn't they say that they would not accept it, and each of them took the money faster than anyone else. Now that something happened, instead It is to push all the responsibility on their heads.

The third prince didn't take the letter with him, but his words might offend all the ministers in the court, but no one dared to say anything about the third prince, even the officials couldn't say that the prince was overstepping. The upright officials who were worried about their own problems raised their necks one by one, admonishing the emperor that they must be strictly investigated and punished, and officials who corrupted the people's life-saving money must not be allowed to go unpunished.

The debate in the court seems to be a little far away from the four counties. Lin Jishan walked along the village road with people, and saw many people who were going to sell their children to make a living, and his heart ached. Will want to sell their own children to a mansion to be servants. If they meet good people, they will be fine, they can live comfortably, and maybe they will support them. It's miserable if you can't find it.With a long sigh, Lin Jishan felt for the first time how important wealth is.

Sitting on the kang of the village head's house, Lin Jishan had a serious face, "Old village head, I can't promise you anything, and I don't know how you know my identity. I can only say that I will try my best to fight for the people. Pockets, so that the people can have a good year, but the premise is that everyone has to work hard, not waiting for money to fall from the sky, even if the emperor is kind, and then distributes relief food, it can only solve a temporary need. Want to change , you still have to rely on your own hands, are you right?"

"I understand, I understand, as long as we can let everyone pass this year, we will listen to what the magistrate says." The village chief smiled on his face already covered with vicissitudes. He didn't expect that his guess was right. Who would have thought that the county magistrate would squat on the field in plain clothes to load soil, who would have thought that the county magistrate would sit on his kang and ask worriedly why so many villagers were selling people, and he said very seriously that he had never heard of it before. There was a sale of people in their village, so I carefully asked what was planted in their village before, how was the harvest, and how severe the disaster was this year.

"I'll ask someone to leave you an address later. If you haven't received the letter in a month, you can go to the city to find me according to the address. Of course, you can also go directly to the county government office. If I don't see you, don't you You can beat the drum to complain." After Lin Jishan finished speaking, he saw the village chief's expression of shock and forgiveness. It was the first time he heard that the county magistrate asked the village chief to beat the drum to complain, but the village chief was also moved because of this. With the bottom line, if there is no complete certainty, how could the county magistrate say such a thing.

Lin Jishan had a lot of schedules today, and he wanted to go to the last few villages. After leaving in a hurry, Lin Jishan didn't know that the village chief stopped several families who wanted to sell their children and asked them to hold out for another month, saying that after one month There will definitely be a turning point. Based on the trust in the village chief, and at the same time not wanting to sell their children, everyone decided to bite the bullet and make it through, not just for a month.

When Lin Jishan reached the last village, it was already late, and he couldn't go back to the city now, so he stayed in a ruined temple not too close to the village. Standing in front of the window, Lin Jishan was a little impatient. Wu Daicheng is also worried about the poor people. He is also carefully calculating how many greenhouses he can build, how much land he needs to rent, and how many people to hire. If he hires people from other villages, will the local people have any objections? If he wants to appease them, he still has a lot to do. He used to see his father as an official, and he didn't see how tired he was. Now that he is in his position, he knows how hard it is for his parents to be an official.

When the sky lightened slightly, the servant came back with a handkerchief that he had rubbed wet from the river, thinking that the young master hadn't woken up, and was about to call out softly, but after pushing the door open, the young master stood in front of the window, looking very exhausted. "Master, did you not sleep well?"

"Nothing." Lin Jishan didn't sleep well, and stood by the window all night, then took the wet handkerchief from the boy's hand, "If everyone else is up, pack up and prepare to go back to the city."

In the four counties, several officials stood at the city gate and waited for Lin Jishan. They waited until the city gate was closed last night, but they did not see Lin Jishan come back. , whether it has anything to do with them or not, it will be considered what they did.In order to confirm that Lin Jishan hadn't come back, he sent someone to the county magistrate's mansion to ask. Wu Daicheng, who was not worried about Lin Jishan's safety, was asked by the people sent by these officials. Instead, he was worried about encountering robbers again.He didn't get a good night's sleep, so he woke up early, and sent someone to watch at the gate of the city. When he saw someone or a messenger, he would come back and report to him immediately.

As soon as the group entered the city, they saw several officials who seemed to have been crying came forward to greet them. Lin Jishan was slowed down by the sudden enthusiasm. After saying a few soothing words, Lin Jishan found an excuse and ran back to the city. I'm home, and listening to the adults, I saw their deeds in the newspaper, and it's not a good deed.Lin Jishan knew that Wu Daicheng must have done something, he wanted to go home quickly and ask, not to question, but just to confirm whether it was true or not. He was worried that someone would bite them back, and it would be absolutely unsafe for Wu Daicheng to stay at home, even if the guards around him followed.

The boy who returned to the mansion first had already reported to his wife. Wu Daicheng let go of his worries and asked the kitchen to prepare some porridge and side dishes. After Lin Jishan came in, the food could also be eaten.He also asked the boy to boil some hot water, and when Lin Jishan came in, even if he couldn't take a bath, he would feel better after wiping himself off.He went to prepare clean clothes himself, and when he was done, Wu Daicheng sat in the living room and waited for someone to come in.Lin Jishan didn't keep Wu Daicheng waiting for too long, and came looking for Wu Daicheng when he entered the door. After seeing the person, both of them were relieved. Even though they both knew that the other party was fine, they were still worried when they didn't see anyone.Lin Jishan didn't care about the etiquette, and went to hug Wu Daicheng. Wu Daicheng was leaning against Lin Jishan's arms. There was still a big belly between the two of them. Human warmth disappeared immediately.

"The soil from several villages has been brought back, take a look." Lin Jishan let go of Wu Daichen, and touched his still moving stomach while talking, "The little guy is dishonest again, when you come out, I will let you fart Fart blossoms."

"Competing with the growing doll, you are ashamed to say it." Wu Daicheng gave Lin Jishan a white look, "If you start to act, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of reaction. I'm afraid it's impossible to do it quietly. Wait for me Send a letter to the third prince, the person who takes the lead must either let the emperor do it, or let him come, absolutely not us. The big tree attracts the wind, and now we have to hide behind the big tree to avoid the wind."

"You can do whatever you think you want to do well. It's just that someone else takes the lead. I'm afraid your credit will be taken away."

"So what, it's all about doing things for the common people, so it doesn't matter who they remember." Wu Daicheng didn't care about this, he was also worried that because he was too famous, he would get into trouble, and the merits and demerits, it doesn't matter who is who, You will remember it with your heart, and God will watch it.

"My wife is worthy of being my husband's apprentice. I feel ashamed to be my husband when I think about things so transparently." Lin Jishan clasped his fists to Wu Daicheng very seriously and saluted, "Please accept my husband's obeisance."

"Hurry up and eat, I'm afraid you will be busy later." Wu Daicheng patted Lin Jishan's clasped fist away, urging people to eat breakfast quickly.Lin Jishan didn't dodge it, he smiled and took a pat from Wu Daicheng, and then got up to wash and change his clothes.

Before Wu Daicheng wrote the letter to the third prince, the third prince sent it to his door.The third prince waved his fan, walked eight steps into the yard, and listened to the guards reporting to him, Wu Daicheng was currently in the study to distinguish the soil quality, and it was inconvenient for the prince to go in, how could the third prince listen to the guards? Pushing open the door of the study room, one could smell a dusty smell. "Cough, cough, cough, Lin Wu, what are you doing!"

Wu Daicheng was taken aback when he heard the voice, "My lord, why are you here, how is the princess?"

"Please worry about it, my concubine is in good health." The third prince did not step in, but stood outside the door frowning, "Hurry up and get rid of this earthy smell.

Wu Daicheng came out of the study with a smile, "It just so happens that I want to send a letter to the prince to invite you to come. Is the prince here for something?"

"It's not that you are worried about your family being bullied. Tell me, how good it was to stay in the capital. If you insist on going to such a place, start from a small official, and get into trouble! I heard that there are still people who don't grow up." Now, the target of the robbers coming here is your man." After the third prince followed Wu Daicheng into the living room, he sat directly on the main seat and directed the servant to pour tea for him. "Why do you want to invite me here?" Wu Daicheng didn't talk about his own business first, but asked how the emperor planned to deal with corrupt officials. No fish."

Wu Daicheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Understood, but what is greedy is the people's food relief money, shouldn't it be severely punished?"

"Of course they won't let them go. There will be lessons, and some officials will be cleaned up, but it's not the time to wipe out all the corrupt officials. If you just make an example of them, you will stop." The third prince nodded. If Wu Daicheng He insisted that everything was cleaned up and down, so he didn't have to worry. "Now can you tell me what happened to me!"

Wu Daicheng doesn't know the psychology of those in power, but he also knows that everything should be done with a degree. After passing the corrupt officials, Wu Daicheng talked about his desire to grow counter-seasonal vegetables. He also wrote some plans these days and asked the boy to bring them to him. The third prince watched, and while the third prince was watching, Wu Daicheng also explained that the more the third prince watched, the more interested he became. If this is done, it will definitely not only alleviate poverty, but also enrich the winter table of the people in the capital, so they will not worry about selling it. "That's great. Are you short of money or tools?"

"Nothing is missing, only one leader is missing. Both Jishan and I feel that this matter should not be brought up by us."

"It's up to you, others will think you came up with it, but it's always good to be careful." The third prince said with a smile, "When are you going to start?"

"The sooner the better, it won't be easy in winter."

"Tell me carefully."

When the third prince left the four counties, he brought with him a very detailed plan for planting off-season vegetables. Since Wu Daicheng didn't want to take the lead in this matter, the royal family would naturally be his backer. He wanted to discuss it with the emperor brother. In addition to all the necessary expenses, Wu Daicheng had to be given some extra rewards. "Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish." Thinking about it, the third prince couldn't help but be happy. What's the use of only giving relief food? How can you save a lifetime if you don't know the foundation of your life? You still have to starve.Thinking of the plan, Wu Daicheng wrote clearly what each village is suitable for planting, which village's land needs to be raised for a year, and what can be replanted.The third prince admired from the bottom of his heart, Wu Daicheng is very kind.

When the emperor saw the plan, he stood up straight from the very beginning, "This, is this imagination, or can it really become a reality?" The royal family can also eat green vegetables in winter, but how high is the cost? Even those who only care about eating can know a thing or two. If vegetables are grown in the villages near the capital, the royal family can save a lot of money every year.

"It must come true. Lin Wu is not a person who likes to joke. Brother Huang has to think about who will take the lead in this matter. I will not be the leader, but I must join in. I can wait to harvest the vegetables for the winter." Lack of vegetables."

"If you don't take the lead, who will you replace? Do you think Lin Wu can trust anyone other than you and me, but I'm afraid you can't do it alone, let's add the Ministry of Industry! It's just that the power is still with you, and the Ministry of Industry is from the sidelines." Assistance is just a record of the whole process, and you can't point fingers, Lin Wu is also a pregnant woman, and she has drawn two experienced imperial physicians from the imperial hospital to follow her, and there must be no mistakes." After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Third Prince Xiang, "You were right when you said who didn't let Mrs. Lin and Wu enter the palace?"

"It would be a pity to let him enter the palace."
