Chapter 184 Calling back to her mother's house
The fifth uncle returned to the farm first. The next day, the fifth uncle personally took Xu Mingchen and the others to deliver porridge. The heavy snowfall in Beijing did indeed cause many people to suffer. Just as Xu Minghan told Lin Shuran, in Beijing
The supply of food has also skyrocketed, and the price of grease cloth has also become more expensive.
However, Lin Shuran kept her word. She specially allocated a large amount of money for this good deed. At the same time, she also prepared the "huge amount of money" that Xu Junze needed every year in advance. Next, she would prepare annual accounts for several close friends.
Li, after all the calculations, she really doesn't have a lot of cash in hand.
"It seems that we still need to earn more money. Don't buy the New Year's gifts for each family this year. Let's make them all ourselves!" Using your own things to prepare the New Year's gifts can save a lot of money, Lin Shuran
As he spoke, he made a list of New Year's gifts on paper. It was about to enter the twelfth lunar month, and there was not much time left before the New Year. "Is there any news from Yunzhou?"
Lingqin and Feiyue shook their heads at the same time. They never saw the secret guard appearing in the communication between Lin Shuran and Xu Junze.
After a while, another maid came to report, saying that someone from the Taifu's Mansion had sent a message asking Lin Shuran to return to her parents' home.
This was the first time Lin Shuran was called back to her parents' home. She was worried about something happening to the Lin family, so she put down what she was doing and hurried back to her parents' home.
As soon as they arrived at the Tutor's Mansion, the housekeeper took Lin Shuran directly to her father Lin Youxing's study. When she entered, Lin Youxing was sitting at the desk writing something. When he saw it was her, he put down his pen and stopped.
"Dad, you are so anxious to call me here. Is there any news from Yunzhou?" Lin Shuran has been very uneasy these days. Neither Lei Yingying and his wife nor Xu Junze have asked anyone to bring her any news.
, and the imperial court also kept the news from Yunzhou tightly hidden, and she couldn't find out much.
Lin Youxing looked solemn. He stretched out his hand to signal Lin Shuran to sit down on a chair nearby, and then said: "My uncle was assassinated on the way to Yunzhou!"
Lin Shuran became anxious when she heard this. She stood up from the chair suddenly, looked at Lin Youxing and asked worriedly: "How is the situation now? Is he injured? No, I have to go to Yunzhou!"
This time, the entire city of Yunzhou was a disaster area. The people wanted to escape outside the city, but there were rebels in the city. The garrison outside the city blocked the entire city of Yunzhou on the grounds that they were worried about the rebels escaping. Anyone who left the city without permission was arrested.
Shoot.
When war breaks out, the people will surely suffer. The vast majority of people in the capital still do not want to see a major conflict between the emperor and the king of Yue. If one state and one county can be exchanged for the stability of the Jin Dynasty, most courtiers believe that this deal
The sale is still very cost-effective.
"Both the emperor and I know this, but the biggest problem in our court now is that there is too little food. Coupled with the King of Yue's deliberate troubles, we can't get more food to be transported to Yunzhou. That's why dad sent you to find
Come on!" Lin Youxing looked at Lin Shuran intently at this moment. Seeing that she was obviously stunned, he then said, "Dad knows that you have a granary!"
Lin Shuran panicked when she heard about Xu Junze's encounter with the assassin. She stood up and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Lin Youxing's voice.
But for the emperor and those who are truly loyal and patriotic, such a deal is simply a shame. How could the emperor be so threatened by his ministers? Where is the majesty of the imperial power? After this first push, will the King of Yue become more arrogant and domineering in the future?
, it would be even more difficult for the court to control it.
"Then let the imperial court send some more disaster relief food. As long as we use food to stabilize the hearts of the people, Yunzhou City will not be in chaos!" In ancient times, what people cared about most was whether they could have enough to eat, especially when encountering a major disaster.
Edible food is their greatest source of confidence for survival.
"The disaster in Yunzhou was concealed, and the city was in short supply of food. We rode eight hundred miles to report it. Countless people in Yunzhou froze to death and starved to death. A rebellion had already broken out in the city." Lin Youxing did not hide the actual situation in Yunzhou.
Lin Shuran, after today's morning court meeting, many people knew that the situation in Yunzhou had worsened. "My uncle's Longjia Guards have arrived outside Yunzhou City, but the generals stationed outside the city are from the King of Yue and are not of the same mind as him.
Food is just a drop in the bucket."
Lin Youxing sighed heavily when he saw Lin Shuran was so worried about Xu Junze. No matter what she became, his daughter was too infatuated. The last time she was Gu Jingcheng, this time she became Xu Junze.
"Dad, is he really okay?" Without seeing a real person in front of him, Lin Shuran felt like he couldn't believe anything at this moment.
"Sister Ran, my uncle is fine. Please sit down and listen to what I have to say!" Lin Youxing walked out from behind the desk and asked Lin Shuran to sit down on the chair again, but Lin Shuran could not sit still. She was eager to know what Xu Junze was doing now.
Case.
"Dad, tell me the truth, what is going on in Yunzhou? What is the emperor's plan?" Even if she doesn't care about government affairs, she also knows that the rumors about the King of Yue are very fierce, and everyone is worried about what happens to the feudal king.
In civil strife, judging from the strength of the Yue king and the emperor, the emperor with a hundred thousand dragon armor guards may not be able to win.
"It's okay, it's okay. He has a dragon-armored guard protecting him. He is also very capable. The only one who is in trouble can only be an assassin!" Lin Youxing comforted Lin Shuran.
The word "granary" made Lin Shuran calm down quickly. This was her biggest secret after coming to this time and space, except for the change of core in her body. However, she never expected that her ancient father would already know about it. She looked strong and calm.
Xiang Lin Youxing asked: "How did dad know? When did he know?"
Seeing that she did not deny it, Lin Youxing's face became serious and said: "You are my daughter. How can any father in this world not understand his daughter? You have read a lot of books since you were a child, but how can you
You know how to farm and plant trees, but since you were hurt by love and went to the farm, I feel that you are very different. You look like my daughter, but you don’t look like my daughter. Maybe there is something wrong with you.
Qi Yu, if you didn’t tell me or ask more questions, then I would know that you secretly asked the mountain people in the southern suburbs to open up wasteland and grow food in the hinterland of the mountains, and also stored all the food that could not be eaten."
However, Lin Youxing never expected that a group of mountain people could grow so much food, and they were all willing to give it to Lin Shuran.
Lin Shuran thought she had disguised herself very well at the farm, but it turned out that Lin Youxing found out from the beginning that she was "different" from before. After all, the little fox couldn't beat the old fox. He deceived other people but not Lin Shuran's biological father, Lin Youxing. However,
Regarding his daughter's "transformation", Lin Youxing thought she had some "adventure". At this time, Lin Shuran did not tell the truth and told him that her daughter was not his daughter.
She simply admitted his guess and said: "Dad is right. I did have an adventure, so I have many skills that I didn't know before. I just forgive my daughter for not being able to explain in detail. As for the granary, I also
