When Aunt Yu's words fell, everyone was suddenly shocked. Yes, if Wang Meng was really willing to spend money, open a tent to provide porridge, and cook meals similar to those of the Lin family to attract refugees, then the refugees would naturally not
Then follow the Lin family to fight against the government!
However, Lin Jingzhi thought for a while and felt that Wang Meng would not generously spend money to feed hundreds of thousands of refugees.
These are hundreds of thousands of refugees. How much food they have to eat in a day! Even if the Lin family can afford it, it is because they stocked up a large amount of food and grass before the locust plague broke out. Otherwise, the price of food has increased more than ten times.
Even though the Lin family is rich, they cannot support so many refugees.
Calculating carefully, before the locust plague broke out, the Lin family spent more than 300,000 taels of silver on hoarding food, but now, the food has increased more than ten times, to more than 4 million taels of silver. This is the difference! If the Lin family had not saved it early
Be prepared. If you buy food now to open up wasteland and dig canals, you will definitely not make money.
Thinking of this, Lin Jingzhi explained it to several people. Aunt Yu and others all nodded in agreement. However, the question raised by Aunt Yu cannot be ignored. He added: "Wang Meng is treacherous and will not think of wooing the refugees.
This is a way to make the Lin family isolated and helpless, but even if he really does this, he will only be able to purchase food for three to five days at most, so we must spread the news in advance so that the refugees will not be fooled."
"What the second master said is true. I will send people to spread the news." After the chief steward said this, he called over several Lin family stewards. These people were his right-hand assistants and made things easy for them.
After listening to the chief steward's instructions, several people left in a hurry.
"Second Master, the Lin family's counterattack this time severely injured Wang Meng. It is certainly a relief, but Wang Meng is a ruthless person. When he recovers, the Lin family's situation will be even worse!" Zhang Jia, who has been silent, said
At this time, he spoke worriedly.
In order to realize his dream, Zhang Jia has now fully joined the Lin family's camp.
"Whether he is hurt or not, the Lin family's situation will get worse and worse..." Lin Jingzhi carefully analyzed the current national events, and then elaborated on the situation between Tian Ji and the Zheng family.
Although Zhang Jia has been relieved of his official position, he is still loyal to the royal family. He was shocked when he heard this, "What if Tian Ji and Zheng Sheng really collude and start a rebellion?"
After saying that, he clenched his fists and walked around anxiously.
Lin Jingzhi is not as worried about national affairs as Zhang Jia is. He is a modern man and has no loyalty to the royal family. In his heart, the Lin family is the first priority!
"Mr. Zhang, in fact, the reason why Tian Ji asked Wang Meng to take over the Lin family is just to seize the Lin family's money and then secretly accumulate power. It is your duty as a minister to worry about national affairs, but instead of being helpless there and complaining,
Sigh, it’s better to focus all your attention on helping the Lin family. Think about it, if the Lin family fights against it and does not show defeat, so that it cannot seize the Lin family’s money, wouldn’t it be equivalent to indirectly reducing Tian Ji’s financial power? "
Hearing this, Zhang Jia's eyes lit up instinctively. If you want to rebel and fight, you can't do it without money.
After a pause, Lin Jingzhi added: "Also, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Luo City, and there are more than 50,000 young and middle-aged people. If we can control them, once Tian Ji and the Zheng family rebel,
, we can also help the imperial court contain their forces!"
"Master Lin is very knowledgeable and superior to others. Mr. Zhang is convinced!" After hearing this, Zhang Jia suddenly became enlightened and bowed deeply to Lin Jingzhi.
Lin Jingshang stepped forward to help him up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be like this. Come, let's continue to discuss the matter of confronting Tian Ji Wang Meng."
Next, a few people sat around and talked a lot, each expressed his or her own thoughts, and finally decided that starting from today, a thousand people would be allocated to stay in Luo City. In this way, once
Now that the government has taken action, they can stop it in time and send people to the wasteland to report the news.
After the discussion was completed, the chief steward, Zhang Jia, and Shi Mo dispersed to gather the refugees who had been persuaded. These people squatting in Luo City must be brave enough.
Not long after the three of them left, a fast horse galloped up the official road. Judging by his clothes, he was the guard of the Lin family. Lin Jingzhi ordered a servant to greet the guard, while he and Aunt Yu sat under the shade of a tree.
The guard came closer, took out a letter from his arms, knelt down on one knee, and presented it, "Second Master, someone left a letter for you. Grandma Fang asked the servant to deliver it."
"Oh? Who left the letter?" Lin Jingzhi was slightly surprised and reached out to take it.
The guard replied: "I don't know. Grandma Fang also asked, but the man refused to leave his name. He just said that you have seen who wrote the letter."
When Lin Jingzhi heard this, he waved his hand and motioned for the guard to stand up and walk aside. He opened the letter curiously, and as soon as he tore open the letter, he smelled a faint fragrance, "Woman, this letter is written by a woman!"
"Second Master, who left this letter?" Aunt Yu stepped forward and leaned her head curiously.
"Yes." Lin Jingzhi first took a look at the signature of the letter. There was a word "Hu" there, and he instantly understood that last time he and Jia Lin went to Liuyan Pavilion, Aunt Yu was not around. He was waiting for an explanation, but he didn't know what to do.
Let's face it, no matter what, it is really easy for people to misunderstand when going to a place like Liuyan Pavilion.
"Hiss!" After hesitating, he read the contents of the letter clearly and gasped in shock. The letter stated that Tian Ji had sent sixteen men with extraordinary martial arts skills to arrest Zhang Shaojie, the vice president of Luo City's six gates.
The people in the world are Tong Yue, the "Opener of the Monument", Fang Rui, the Ghost Shadow, Tian Yuan, the Arrow, Qiao Fenyi, the Yin Yang Face, Gu Wuzi, the Topping Messenger, etc.
After the name, there is information about the character and what kind of martial arts they are good at.
Aunt Yu squeezed aside and read the contents of the letter clearly. Her pretty face changed slightly. Although these so-called famous people in the world could not hurt her, if they set their target on Lin Jingzhi, she would not be able to survive.
.
There are a total of sixteen famous masters in the world. It seems that Tian Ji is determined to take down the Lin family this time!
"Second Master, how about we start early and get rid of a few of them first?" Aunt Yu felt the pressure and suggested.
Lin Jingzhi was noncommittal and pondered for a while before asking: "Yu'er, have you ever heard of the names and deeds of these people in the world?"
"I've heard of some of them, but I'm not familiar with them and have never dealt with them."
It was a good thing to be able to get rid of a few in advance, but Lin Jingzhi heard that Aunt Yu was not familiar with these people and felt a little worried. What if there were many people on the other side and Aunt Yu couldn't defeat them?
He would not allow Aunt Yu to put herself in danger! After thinking for a while, he felt that he needed to go to Liuyan Pavilion.dd
