The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Chapter 353 Disobeying the Way of Heaven

Seeing him looking like he would rather die than surrender, Lin Xiaofan smiled softly and ignored him.

Anyway, it’s either the Liang Kingdom or the Shang Kingdom, so we can just deal with it together.

Lin Xiaofan continued:

"To tell you the truth, this time I went to suppress bandits. Those bandit leaders were sent by the Great Shang Kingdom to disrupt Qingzhou."

"In the last battle, the Qingzhou army defeated a lot of the troops of the two countries, and their morale was also broken. But the morale of Qingzhou is strong, and there are good soldiers and generals with excellent weapons."

"If we send out troops at this time, as long as the Daqian Kingdom can supply good food and grass, and provide some bows and arrows, not to mention completely occupying the two countries, it is still possible to capture more than a dozen of their cities. It is a pity that the Daqian Emperor insists on stability and is unwilling to send troops for reinforcements. We don’t even want Qingzhou to risk sending troops.”

"But even so, the Liang Kingdom and the Great Shang Kingdom were still worried and secretly sent people to Qingzhou to cause trouble. And these men in black sneaked in."

Lin Xiaofan said.

Just at this moment, Li Chuang came from outside the door and said somewhat seriously:

"Magistrate Lin, the casualties have been fully investigated. A total of 220 people died this time, 70 of whom were killed in battle, and the rest were killed without knowing it. About one of the injured was Two hundred people.”

Hearing this, Huang Hong's face was full of anger:

"The rats of the two countries dare to attack ordinary people. This emperor is also fatuous. I really don't know what he does for a living. If I were him, I would definitely destroy Daliang and Dashang!"

"Brother Huang Hong, be careful what you say."

Lin Xiaofan was a little nervous. It was really exciting to discuss the emperor's faults in this feudal dynasty.

However, there were many secret guards around him, so he didn't have to worry about being overheard.

When he mentioned this, he couldn't help but add a few words:

"Alas, in the battle of Qingzhou, the emperor did not send a single soldier or a grain of food. The snow disaster in Qingzhou was caused by the food brought by the Zhao family in the capital. Now the whole country is already dissatisfied with the emperor. If this continues, I am afraid that There's going to be trouble."

Hearing this, Huang Hong nodded solemnly. He also discovered that the entire Daqian Kingdom was now in mourning.

"Brother Lin, what do you think the final result will be if chaos breaks out?"

he asked with some confusion.

"The country is in turmoil and peasant uprisings will definitely damage the country. If we are lucky, we will change the emperor. If we are not lucky, Daqian will be annexed by the surrounding countries."

Lin Xiaofan thought for a moment and then said.

"Brother Lin thinks that Da Qian will definitely perish? Although Emperor Da Qian is fatuous, the Kang family still holds power, and with the help of aristocratic families, how can Brother Lin guarantee the success of the uprising with just a group of peasants?"

Huang Hong asked with some confusion.

"This is the will of heaven. If farmers cannot eat, they will revolt. Even if one group of people fails, sooner or later there will be a second and third group of people. If this continues in the long run, how can Daqian survive?"

"As for those aristocratic families, they are respectful to the emperor on the surface, but as long as their roots are not endangered, doesn't it still matter who they are loyal to?"

Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to explain.

Huang Hong was thoughtful when he heard the words. After a long time, his brows relaxed a little and he asked:

"Brother Lin is a great talent. I have benefited a lot from these few words. But I am a little confused. What is the way of heaven you are talking about? Is there any way to change it?"

"The so-called way of heaven refers to what the people want. Only those who win the people's hearts can win the world."

Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth and then changed the subject:

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Huang Hong, I want to negotiate a deal with you."

"Brother Lin, tell me."

Huang Hongsheng became interested.

"I improved the method of making table salt and made refined salt. The appearance is as white as snow and the particles are small. The food tastes great. If I sell it, I will definitely get a good price."

Lin Xiaofan said.

Huang Hong frowned when he heard this.

He knows how to make table salt. It has been basically the same method since ancient times. If ordinary people told him that there had been improvement, he would definitely not believe it.

However, Lin Xiaofan has a great talent and can make repeating crossbows. It is uncertain whether he can improve the method of making salt.

After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"Brother Lin, seriously, can you make better salt? How much is the output, and how big is the difference compared with ordinary salt?"

"Brother Huang Hong, the food made with this salt is definitely a grade higher than ordinary food. As for the output, to tell you the truth, it can be produced in large quantities."

Lin Xiaofan said.

Huang Hong nodded doubtfully. Things are more expensive when they are rare. Since it can be mass-produced, the taste should not be improved much.

Then I can try selling some and maybe make a little money.

"Brother Huang Hong, I wonder if you are free tonight? I would like to invite you to have a drink."

Seeing his appearance, Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to invite him.

You have to let the other person taste the refined salt to know how good it is.

When Huang Hong heard this, he also hurriedly responded.

Lin Xiaofan's words just now attracted him, and he eagerly wanted to ask for advice on the governance of the country.

Hayashiya

After reading for a day, Duanmu Liangchuan walked out of the house and was about to take a breather. He found that everyone in the Lin family was in a state of preparation for war, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Clan Leader Lin Xiao."

He saw Lin Xiao who had just returned and hurried forward to stop him.

"I wonder what happened outside?"

"Hey, don't mention it. There has been turmoil in the city this morning. First, some people killed people and set fire to the city. Then sixty or seventy men in black besieged Magistrate Lin's residence."

Lin Xiao waved his hand. There are only forty or fifty guards in their family, plus hundreds of clan members. If the group of men in black attacked, he would probably run for his life.

Fortunately, the other party did not choose to attack them.

Hearing this, Duanmu Liangchuan's heart tightened and he asked:

"Then what's the result? I remember that County Magistrate Lin went out to suppress the bandits. There aren't many people in the mansion, right?"

"Fortunately, all the men in black were killed or captured, and the city has stabilized. Brother Duanmu, the situation was really dangerous at that time. Magistrate Lin's mansion was breached. Fortunately, a group of common people came to protect it. Just keep it."

Lin Xiao said.

Hearing this, Duanmu Liangchuan's expression kept changing, and then he asked:

"County Magistrate Lin's residence is not far from here. Since Chief Lin has made good friends with Magistrate Lin, has he never thought of sending troops for reinforcements?"

"Oh, Brother Duanmu, Magistrate Lin and I only have an interest relationship. If you want me to help him, it must be beneficial. Besides, who knows if there are still people in black hiding in the city? If I take action, what will happen to those people in black? What should I do if my residence takes action?”

Lin Xiao patted Duanmu Liangchuan on the shoulder and said.

"Besides, Brother Duanmu, who knows who County Magistrate Lin has offended? If he offends a big family and I go to reinforce him, then why don't you remember my Lin family?"

"Even if the county magistrate is changed, my Lin family can still live well. So, why should I help County Magistrate Lin?"
