As night fell, lights lit up among thousands of households, snowflakes fell from the sky, slowly adding a little white to the city.

Due to the cold weather and the inconvenience of travel in snow, there are few pedestrians on Xuanwumen Street, and the noise and bustle of the past are less common, making it feel like you are asleep here.

Soon, a crisp sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the street. But a horse team rushed from north to south, then entered the alley of Xiaoyongfang, and finally arrived in front of the mansion of the current dynasty Lin Ge Lao.

The red lights in the Lin Mansion were hung high, and it looked quite majestic here.

"Miss, you are back, and the food is always hot on the stove. How about I'll arrange to bring it to the dining room for you?" The butler Lin Jinyuan greeted him and said kindly.

Lin Pingchang, wearing a thick white cloak, refused directly, and walked inside and inquired, "There is no hurry to supper, where is my brother?"

"The master is in the study!" Lin Jinyuan immediately responded honestly.

Lin usually nodded slightly, then stepped onto the steps, and continued to walk inside with a clear goal.

Time flies, and time passes.

The wild girl who was once a tiger-headed and treacherous girl has grown into a round-faced girl with less cute ingredients on her body, but she has an extra temperament of being able to do things, but her eyes are still as clear and bright as when she was a child.

She looked like she was already sixteen years old, but her nature remained unchanged and she still often did not stay at home. She resolutely adhered to her "chivalrous and righteous" life ideal.

Lin Jinyuan was holding a bullet in his hand and planned to sweep the snow for Lin Pingchang, but he looked up and saw Lin Pingchang's shadow. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

But he likes Lin usually at home because this will bring a lot of anger to the family, and even Lin Weiran's face will have more smiles that are hard to see on weekdays.

The inner house is brightly lit, and several lanterns are swaying by the wind and snow, but they can illuminate the entire corridor.

Lin never likes to bother others when doing things. On the way to the study, he shakes the snowflakes falling on his body with his hands. When he arrives in front of the study, he pushes open the door and sees Lin Weiran reading a book under the lamp.

Lin Weiran was wearing black-clad home clothes. Although her face looked young, her eyes seemed to see through the various aspects of life and were sitting at the table reading intently.

With Lin's wild personality who usually doesn't want to stay at home, Lin Junran is the most standard "housekeeper" of this era, and he doesn't even go to the land of love like many officials.

Apart from visiting an official, he would no longer leave his home. As his official position gradually rises, there seems to be few people who need him, the current cabinet master, to visit him in person.

It's right.

That's true. In addition to dealing with a visit from an official who is difficult to refuse, he usually stays in this study at night.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War is a masterpiece, which can be proved by ancient times, and there is no need to debate. If a talented person has examined the essence of the three parts, expelling the Tartars is just around the corner!"

Lin Weiran was reading "Talking about the Ancient and the Current" in his hand, and was looking at the above article about military strategy, which was already a way to promote Sun Tzu's Art of War as a winning weapon to solve the Mongolian problem.

Although he always thought that "The Art of War" was indeed a military treasure, facing this crazy blowjob and thinking that Sun Tzu's Art of War could solve the Mongolian problem, he still couldn't agree with this view.

"The Art of War" has been repeatedly used by predecessors. If they continue to use it flexibly, it will be possible, but the effect will often not be as effective as it was in the beginning.

In terms of stock market investment, Gann and others made wealth in the early chart school. Sohi Honma, who pioneered the Sakai tactic, also won the richest man in Japan with the help of Yone City, and Buffett, a value investment school, also made wealth.

On the other hand, the imitators of these schools are getting worse and worse, and even suffer a lot of losses due to this.

This is naturally not because these investment methods are problematic, or perhaps because later generations are "not good at learning skills", but because the times have been improving, and many investment methods are time-efficient.

If you want to succeed in stock market investment, you either take more thorough investment methods than the other party, or you have to take other ways to innovate.

The reason why Napoleon was successful was largely because he attached great importance to the role of cannons, especially using Frederick the Great to invent a tactic that was regarded as a classic by later generations: first, the cannons were bombarded, then the cavalry attacked quickly, and then the infantry

Consolidate the position.

Of course, tactical innovations are not only available abroad. For example, Qi Jiguang used the new mandarin duck formation when he fought against Japanese pirates. In addition, in order to better combat Japanese pirates, he also carried out weapons innovations - Wolf Vultures and "invented by Lin Weiran"

"The tiger squat cannon that is convenient for field combat.

It’s not that Sun Tzu’s Art of War is not powerful, but if he is overly superstitious about Sun Tzu’s Art of War, he may still be defeated in the end, and the problem of Mongolia will never be solved.

Lin Weiran never underestimated Sun Tzu's Art of War, but was more willing to start with economic warfare and psychological warfare and use some measures to weaken Altan's strength.

For this reason, he also studied Altan. The reason why Altan was able to become strong is that he was brave in fighting, but his brave quality was not too prominent in Mongolia.

In addition to his bravery, Altan also accepted Han culture and technology, as well as obtained the material supply chain of Shanxi merchants, so as to have sufficient strength to replace the dominance of the orthodox Mongolian tribes.

Lin Weiran saw the Mongolian issue very thoroughly, but when he saw that the Hanlin Academy was promoting such a misleading article, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

His original intention of founding "Talking about the Ancient and the Current" was to pursue ideological breakthroughs, but now it seems that this path is probably still a long way to go.

"Brother, the current "Talking about Ancient and Current" is getting worse and worse!" Lin Pingchang came to Lin Weiran and glanced at the Shudong, then shook his head gently and said.

Lin Qingran was addicted to these thoughts. He suddenly heard this sound that was so close to him. He was frightened without preparation and couldn't help but look up at Lin Pingchang helplessly.

"Oh, brother, you didn't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of? Really!" Lin Pingchang saw Lin Shiran's reaction, but his innocent face complained.

Lin Qingran knew that his sister was relying on the idea of ​​"not doing bad things without fear of ghosts knocking on the door", so she has been fearless since childhood, and she had to provoke other problems and said: "You are just inspecting the heavens and inspecting the heavens,"

Why are you more busy than the prefect of Shuntian? You don’t know how to come back home to eat on time for dinner?”

The last time he went to Japan, Lin Pingchang also fulfilled his duties as the deputy envoy of the East Ocean Tour and brought back the tribute of the North Sea pearls and a sacred object to Jiajing from Hokkaido Island.

From the bronze sword of the past to the little brown bear now, Lin's usual performance is very eye-catching, and it left a deep impression and favor on Jiajing.

Jiajing was also very happy about this, especially when he treated the little brown bear as auspicious. When he asked Lin Pingchang what he wanted on the spot, Lin Pingchang immediately said that he wanted to uphold justice for the people.

Faced with this wish and adhering to the glorious tradition of rewarding and punishing light with merits, Jiajing immediately gave Lin Pingchang an official position as an inspector of Shuntian, and this time he did not even add a female official.

The same is true. After several outstanding performances, Lin Pingchang broke the tradition of "women are not officials" and became a formal seventh-rank official in the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the special status of Shuntian Prefecture, there are actually two Shuntian Inspectors, and it seems that it is not a big deal to give Lin Pingchang one this time. In addition, Lin Qingran is now in a vast power, so there is no strong opposition in the court.

In fact, with the appointment of Jiajing, there is no obstruction. An emperor is critically ill but no official dares to stand up and ask for the title of the crown prince. A prince's eldest son is still a court of a black household, and there will be no officials.

Dare to disobey the holy will.

It is precisely because after taking office as the inspector of Shuntian, Lin usually seemed to be more active in handling the situation. Just like a little girl who brought her constables to uphold justice everywhere, she seemed to be extra hard on the case of Shuntian Mansion, and even brought her

Shen Yan personally inspected the body together.

"Brother, this matter is not something I can control! If the world is peaceful, then I don't have to worry about so many things. It's not a problem to come back on time every day to have dinner with you! But you really don't know, now there are more and more people.

Refugees flocked to Beijing, and I have to handle many things myself!" Lin Pingchang immediately complained.

"You are in charge of things, but you must be careful when doing things. Safety must be the first priority in everything!" Lin Weiran put down the "Talking about the Ancient and the Current" in his hand, and he reminded him seriously.

His mind was not on Lin's usual upholding of justice, but on how to solve Altan's problem.

This war not only pays attention to military tactics, but actually requires more money. The court not only needs to ensure that the military expenditure of the nine borders is paid on time, but also needs capital to "reward for merits", but the current Ming Dynasty finance is no longer available.

Such a great victory as Manzhutan was because of his own pressure to implement the silver reward as soon as possible, which ended up being dissatisfied by some people, and even Xu Jie complained about it.

However, Datong and the soldiers of Xuanfu fought bloody battles, but the court actually wanted to delay the issuance or detain part of it. How could they continue to fight for the Ming court in the future?

The root of the Mongolian problem is actually to return to the Ming Dynasty itself. A healthy finance is the key to solving the problem. The current shrinking tactic can only be regarded as avoiding the problem.

It is precisely because he found that he still had to agree with Xu Jie's proposal to "extravagate for three years", so as to alleviate the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty and also give him enough money to solve the Mongolian problem.

Faced with Lin Xuran's advice, Lin usually nodded obediently, and then said seriously: "Brother, I want to check the new Zuodu Censor Wang Ting!"

"What happened to Wang Ting?" Lin Qingran had already made an agreement with Lin Pingchang that if she wanted to attack the imperial chief, she would seek his consent, so she couldn't help but raise her head vigilantly and said.

A hint of anger flashed across Lin Pingchang's eyes, and he immediately said seriously: "Although I don't have any evidence yet, he is likely to be greedy during his tenure, and it is said that there are as many as hundreds of thousands of taels!"

"Can't check!" Lin Weiran heard that it was this matter and immediately stopped it harshly.

Wang Ting, a Jinshi in the 11th year of Jiajing, had the same experience as Xu Jie, but he was favored by Xu Jie and his official career was soaring.

Because he served as the prefect of Suzhou, the governor of the river and the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, he was probably hard to say that he was clean.

But this court is not clear enough. Even though he, the cabinet master of the current dynasty, has been using ice warnings for so many years, he can no longer speak too cleanly.

If it is really to investigate the corruption of officials, it is too alternative. If the court really wants to vigorously rectify corrupt officials and really to investigate and deal with the corruption of officials, what do you think about the chief minister Xu Jie of the current dynasty?

Especially Wang Ting is marked by the Xu Party, and is an important piece for Xu Jie. If they really target Wang Ting and attack with greed, they will inevitably be counterattacked by Xu Jie.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Xu Jie, but he was unwilling to start a war for such a small person. Then he thought of the cruel look that Wang Ting threw in Chang'an Street today. It turned out that this hatred was not without reason, but because of this girl

Started.

"Brother, why can't it work?" Lin Pingchang's brows immediately frowned, and he said with grievance.

"There is no reason, in short, you can't check Wang Ting!" Lin Qingran took off his brother's airs and seemed unconventional.

"Brother, if he was just a corruption, I wouldn't have grabbed him, but you don't know that he might destroy the dike and flood the fields!" Lin Pingchang felt his brother's toughness, but continued to fight for it.

Lin Weiran's brows frowned slightly, raised his head and looked at Lin Pingchang and said in a complicated manner: "Has you been deceived? Wang Ting would not have done such a crazy thing!"

Although this view is not absolutely correct, the higher the officials, the higher the officials, the higher the sentiments, the higher the officials, should have some conscience.

"Brother, you don't know Wang Ting, and you know what kind of person he is? Now that I have clues, I also think it's probably true, so I want to check him, otherwise I...I'll do it

Why should you keep an eye on him?" Lin said in a reasonable manner.

Lin Weiran had made up his mind, but he shook his head gently and said, "Unless you have more reliable evidence, you can't investigate him. If this matter is handled improperly, it will cause a fight between me and Xu Jie!"

Although Lin Pingchang was disappointed with this answer, he knew the seriousness of the matter and finally nodded helplessly. This time he came in a hurry, but he was about to return home in disappointment, which made her look depressed and nothing more.

Have an appetite.

Lin Qingran couldn't bear to see her like this, so he made a decision and said, "I have time tomorrow, I will accompany you to the Gulou for a walk!"

"Okay! I haven't gone shopping together for a long time!" Lin Pingchang turned his worries into joy, and nodded heavily immediately.
Chapter completed!
