Lin Jue sat quietly in the back garden, and he stayed in the back garden that was already desolate in the afternoon. The cold wind in the pavilion was gusting, blowing cold on people's bodies. But Lin Jue's mind was hot and chaotic.

When things came to this point, Lin Jue was also a little confused. Lin Jue kept asking himself whether he should stick to his own ideas, and whether he should continue to argue with the two adults about the regulations of the new law. Reason told Lin Jue that the two adults had already said the most unkind words today, and if he continued to insist on his own opinions, it was very likely that there would be an uncontrollable result, that is, he was swept out of the house by his mentor and severed the master-apprentice relationship.

Lin Jue was actually not afraid of other scolding and incomprehension, what he was most afraid of was Fang Dunru's trick of dividing the master-apprentice relationship into bargaining chips. He doesn't want to have the consequences of regret, he loves his husband and wife, and he loves his sister Fang Huanqiu, that is the love brought from the previous life, that is the only warmth that brought comfort to him in the previous life, how can Lin Jue not let go easily in this life.

However, in that case, Lin Jue would have to give up his insistence and stop pointing fingers at the new law. This is contrary to Lin Jue's original intention. In the final analysis, Lin Jue did this for the sake of Fang Dunru and Yan Zheng, and for the smooth progress of the new law. Lin Jue became more and more convinced of his own point of view, the key to the success or failure of this change was whether Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu could become more tactful, and whether they could give up some small goals for the sake of achieving a big goal. To put it bluntly, it's a matter of trade-offs. If the two adults are still the same, the future of this change is worrying, and the future of the two adults is worrying.

This is not Lin Jue's speculation, about this change, Lin Jue doesn't know how many times he has thought about it in his mind. Every time Lin Jue comforted himself that this was an era that was different from the real historical process, but every time Lin Jue was soberly aware that even in a different illusory world, in a process that was almost similar to the real history of the same era, its rules did not change much. The result of another revolution in the historical space of that era at this time was a fiasco, and one that has been criticized for thousands of years. In the era of the Great Zhou Dynasty, its reference significance is great, even the same.

It was precisely because he realized that there were so many commonalities between the two changes, and that the times were so similar, that Lin Jue had to speak again and again to persuade him. Argue with them despite their growing disgust and dissatisfaction. It can be said that if all this does not happen today, it will happen in the near future. Sooner or later, the two adults will lose patience with themselves.

But even if he knew this, what could Lin Jue do? Lin Jue asked himself countless times if he shouldn't do this, he didn't need to annoy the two adults, he could cater to them. However, Lin Jue denied this answer, because in that case, it would be equivalent to watching the two adults gallop on horseback, while there was an abyss ahead, and he did not give warning. How can you do that?

But the problem now is that I've actually stepped aside. The so-called ten-day holiday is actually to deprive Lin Jue of his qualifications to participate in the formulation of regulations. He did his best to do things in the Yamen of the Ordinance Division, but he was excluded. Of course, I could go to the two adults after ten days to apologize, and ask them for forgiveness by saying bitterly that I shouldn't have said those things. There is no shame in this. But will you be able to feel at ease then? Can you just think about nothing and let things go on? I can't do it myself.

Maybe there is another possibility, that is, I am really too worried. With the full support of the emperor, the determination and perseverance of the two bosses, perhaps...... Maybe it will really silence the opposition. Maybe different dynasties will really have different results. However, Lin Jueyou told himself that this might just be a good wish.

History is all similar, and the same scene seems to be repeating itself forever. The failure cases of so many changes in the law that I have summarized occurred in different dynasties and time points. This shows that in fact, it has nothing to do with time and space, only about the content and strategy of changing the law, only about whether the means are clever enough, and only about whether vested interests can support or at least not oppose it. Once this rule is broken, it is a failure without exception. Moreover, changing the law is also a durable battle and a tough battle, and those who are eager for quick success will not be able to taste the fruits of victory.

Lin Jue couldn't convince himself that the changes that Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru were currently violently implementing would succeed. The content of this change did not even benefit the people, and now it will offend the powerful and the doctors. It is extremely worrying that they are pushing forward the reform in the way they think is right, and that they are not listening to any opinions.

Lin Jue sat alone in the back garden, quietly thinking about things a thousand times, but he couldn't convince himself to turn back. In the end, Lin Jue told himself that he simply didn't think about it. These 10 days should be regarded as an extra 10 days of annual leave. In the past ten days, I slowly tried to figure out a way, and I thought of a way that could be accepted by the two adults. Perhaps his words were too simple and crude, and he failed to use some skills to persuade them. They should also calm down in these ten days. In short, there are more ways than difficulties, and it is useless to worry about gray hair and want to break your head.

The bottom line is, you can't anger Mr., you can't really get stiff. We must do things in a smart way, not in a brute way.

"Childe, are you in the pavilion?" A soft voice came from below the pavilion.

Lin Jue stood up and looked down, on the stone path next to the fallen leaves and snow, a graceful figure was standing there, looking upward. The moment he saw Lin Jue, the bright eyes on that pretty face smiled like a crescent moon.

Lin Jue's heart was extremely warm, since Bai Bing stayed by her side, her whole temperament has changed greatly, from a girl with a cold temperament to warm and lovely. At this moment, she was wearing a pale green brocade robe, standing below like a pleasing green tree. That pretty face is smiling like a flower blooming in winter.

"You're here." Lin Jue said with a smile.

Bai Bing jumped up the steps of the pavilion and flew up, not a drop of the teapot he was holding in his hand was spilled.

"I heard Green Dance say that you are alone in the back garden, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb you. I thought, I'll bring you a pot of hot tea, you shouldn't object. Bai Bing smiled and put the teapot and teacup on the table.

Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's useless for me to object, I can't control the heroic girl Bai Bing." I'm still really thirsty. It's actually a little cold. This hot tea came at the right time. ”

Bai Bing smiled, poured Lin Jue a cup of tea and handed it over, and said with a smile: "I actually have something to tell you." Otherwise, I won't dare not listen to you. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Oh? What's up? ”

Bai Bing tilted his head and said, "You say yours first, hide here and freeze, what happened?" The green dancing girl was a little worried, she didn't dare to ask, let me ask. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "She didn't dare to ask, but asked you to ask, how did she know that I wouldn't reprimand you?" ”

Bai Bing's face suddenly turned red, and he stopped talking. I said this outside just now. The tea was also sent by Lu Wu himself, and he didn't actually plan to come to the back garden to find Lin Jue. When Green Dance said that, she also asked her why Lin Gongzi didn't reprimand herself. Midori Dance's answer in her ear made her blush. Green Dance said: You are fresh now, Childe will not blame you.

The so-called freshness, how can Bai Bing not understand. Since he was taken away by Lin Jue on the way to Ying Tianfu, Bai Bing has been favored by Lin Jue during this time. Although he didn't dare to sleep together at night too publicly, he only secretly ate the forbidden fruit with Lin Jue during the day when no one was around. But living in the same house, how could Green Dance not notice it. What's more, he was hit by a good thing by the ghost of Qianqian. So it's actually semi-public.

Green Dance means that the freshness has not passed, how can Childe blame you.

Lin Jue didn't notice Bai Bing's blush, and said softly: "It's an official matter, I don't want to tell my family, because it's useless to say these things, it will only increase the worries of the family, and there is nothing to say." ”

Bai Bing sighed and sat down beside Lin Jue.

Lin Jue grabbed her hand and smiled, "It's your turn, what's the matter with you?" ”

Bai Bing held Lin Jue's hand and frowned, "Your hands are so cold...... My master has sent a letter. ”

Bai Yushuang's letter was only a few words, to the effect that she had settled in the mountains and her injuries were healing, so Bai Bing didn't need to worry about it. Bai Yushuang told Bai Bing to practice martial arts diligently and not to waste the affairs of her children, she warned Bai Bing that when you have the ability and ability to gain a foothold in this world, you must not be attached to others.

Lin Jue's surprise was that Bai Yushuang's letter was filled with a kind of licking calf, if she hadn't seen her own words and deeds, just looking at this letter, those who didn't know would think that this was a motherly master's earnest teaching. But in fact, this is a murderous female devil. It seems that Bai Yushuang's mood and personality have changed greatly, which can be seen from the words in this letter.

Looking at Bai Bing's happy appearance, Lin Jue smiled and said, "Bing'er is at ease now?" Your master has settled down, and the Luoyan Valley Dazhai in Funiu Mountain is a suitable place to recuperate, and your master will be very happy there. ”

Bai Bing took Lin Jue's arm, put his head on Lin Jue's shoulder and whispered, "Thank you." If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't know what the future of my master and master would be? The master has been lonely all his life, and he is quite pitiful. If I can enjoy my old age in peace, I will also have peace of mind. After all, I regard her as my mother, and her life is also given by her. No matter what she did to me before, I had to repay her. ”

Lin Jue hugged Bai Bing's slender waist, sniffing the fragrance on her body, and was also very comforted in his heart. It is indeed not easy for her mentorship and apprenticeship to have such a successful result. However, Bai Yushuang's temper settled in the big village of Luoyan Valley, Gao Muqing and Liang Qi and the brothers in the cottage are afraid that they will have to suffer some hardships, and Bai Yushuang's ferocity may not be able to change for a while. If you fall out with Mu Qing and the others, it will also make people a little worried.

Moreover, the situation in Funiu Mountain is not a stable situation. In fact, a few days ago, Lin Jue also received a letter from Gao Muqing from the mountain, in addition to pouring out his feelings of longing, Gao Muqing also told the current situation in Funiu Mountain. The strength of Black Wind Village has been extremely inflated this year, and after annexing seven or eight cottages, the number of soldiers in the village is as high as more than 5,000 people, and many cottages are afraid that their strength is attached to him. Qin Donghe rubbed his hands, and the spearhead pointed directly at Mu Zhenshan's Taoyuan Dazhai. He has made it clear that he will re-elect the leader of the alliance in Funiu Mountain Dazhai. The intent is self-evident. Qin Donghe is going to be the boss of Funiu Mountain.

Gao Muqing told Lin Jue that he was comprehensively strengthening the defense system of the cottage in case the situation suddenly changed. The soldiers and horses stationed in the Shiren Mountain branch have been dispatched to return to the Yangu Village to protect the village. At present, the total number of soldiers and horses of the Luoyan Army is more than 1,800, although it is not the same as when it first entered Funiu Mountain, but compared with the soldiers and horses of Heifeng Village, the difference is several times. Fortunately, the defense system of Luoyan Valley Dazhai is perfect and very hierarchical. If you really stick to the cottage, you will have the strength to fight.

Lin Jue could feel the anxiety and panic revealed between the lines in Gao Muqing's letter, although he gave Gao Muqing encouragement and countermeasures in his reply. But after all, he is not on the mountain, and he can't deal with the situation in time, and everything needs Gao Muqing to improvise. At this moment, especially when he was severely reprimanded by Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru today, and his kindness was misunderstood and even disgusted by them, Lin Jue really wanted to leave and go to the Funiu Mountain Cottage. There is no need to worry about the things in front of him, and he can help Gao Muqing, who is a little helpless at the moment. But Lin Jue knew that he couldn't do this. Although Funiu Mountain is a place outside the world, it is not my ideal and life goal. He couldn't give up everything to go to the mountains to be a bandit, he had a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, and he couldn't just walk away.

Lin Jue sighed, his gaze crossed the flowers and trees in front of the pavilion, the desolate courtyard covered with fallen leaves, the layered houses and streets, and the tall walls of the capital, looking southeast. Hundreds of miles away, there is the mountains and mountains of Funiu Mountain. Lin Jue wouldn't know that at this moment, a bloody storm had already been set off in Funiu Mountain.

……

The situation in Funiu Mountain stabilized for a while after Lin Jue left. Due to the rise of Luoyan Valley Dazhai and the narrowing of the relationship between Luoyan Valley Dazhai and Taoyuan Dazhai, it has become a stabilizing factor in Funiu Mountain. After Qin Donghe of Heifeng Village ate deflated in Taoyuan Dazhai at the beginning of the year, although he held a grudge, he had to endure it because the strength of the cottage was inferior.

However, things took a turn in August. Or rather, the turning point began with a major drought last spring and summer. This drought affected Gyeonggi Road and surrounding roads, and there was no shortage of rain in Funiu Mountain, but this drought made Funiu Mountain unavoidable.

The severe drought has led to an overall reduction in grain production in the mountains, and many cottages have fallen into a panic of not being able to sufficien. However, the martial law of the officers and men outside the mountains has not only not weakened, but has become more and more tight. All large and small passages in and out of Funiu Mountain were blocked. At the end of the summer, the officers and men even launched several bold attacks, although they were not effective, but the situation was visible.

In the Funiu Mountain, because there is a large reservoir to store water, the method of limited water supply is adopted to ensure irrigation and drinking water, and the impact of drought is not great. But other cottages were not so lucky. Most of these cottages, large and small, don't take these into account at all. The abundance of water also caught them off guard against the drought. The food supply of the cottages is also in crisis.

Although Luoyan Valley Dazhai is also willing to sell some grain to these cottages to solve their urgent needs. However, after all, the grain production of Luoyan Valley Dazhai is limited, and the area of the entire valley is so large, and its own food consumption must also be guaranteed, so it can be said that it is a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the problem of food shortage.

At a time when large and small cottages are in a crisis of food shortage, Black Wind Village is no exception. There are nearly 3,000 soldiers in Heifeng Village, plus nearly 10,000 people under its jurisdiction, and the food shortage is extremely serious. But when the other cottages were panicking and asking for help, Qin Donghe showed his courageous side, and he made a bold decision - to go out of the mountains to grab grain.

Originally, Qin Donghe was planning to make a move on Luoyan Valley, and the harvest of grain in Luoyan Valley was mouth-watering, which was the best reason to attack them. However, when it was learned that the defense system of the Wild Goose Valley was like an iron bucket. And now many cottages are hugging together to follow Luoyan Valley Dazhai and Taoyuan Dazhai, if they attack Luoyan Valley, I am afraid that they will immediately become the target of public criticism. Qin Donghe suddenly realized that the success of attacking Luoyan Valley Dazhai might be far less than going out of the mountains.

The reason why Qin Donghe was willing to make this risky decision was not only because the problem of food shortage in the cottage had to be solved, but also because he had a bigger plan brewing in his heart. Others regard the drought as a disaster, but in Qin Donghe's view, this is not only a disaster, but also an excellent opportunity.

Imagine, if you have enough food in your hands at this moment, you can let the rest of the cottages take refuge in your own cottages. The lady who is the owner of the big village in Luoyan Valley obviously has no such vision and ambition, and she has no idea what the harvest of grain in Luoyan Valley means at this moment. If you can have food in hand, this is a great opportunity for you to become the king of Funiu Mountain. A godsend.

Of course, it's very risky. Going out of the mountains to grab food, that's not for fun. The officers and soldiers outside the mountain have gone through the horses, and if they are not careful, they will not be able to return to Funiu Mountain. But as the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, there is no risk where there is a return, the food problem is not solved, and the hearts of the people in the cottage are fluctuating, and sooner or later they will all run out. If this bit of his family wealth is exhausted, how can he gain a foothold in the mountains here in the future? Could it be that Yang Ren snorted and went to the old bastard Mu Zhenshan in Taoyuan Dazhai, or was he ridden on the head by a woman in Luoyan Valley under the fence?

After some weighing and choosing, Qin Donghe made up his mind and decided to go out of the mountains to grab grain. Of course, he wasn't brute. He will never do this kind of thing to attack the county seat and rob the granary, he has robbed the county town of Nanshan for a while before, and robbed a lot of equipment and armor. But that time also lost 30% of his men. Now that the defense of the county town has been strengthened in an all-round way, and there are many more officers and soldiers, it would be a matter of seeking death if they were brutal.

So, where to grab food? Qin Donghe's cleverness lies in his cunning. He knew that this drought was not affecting a small Funiu Mountain, and that all roads around Gyeonggi were suffering from a severe drought, and the food supply in the capital, which was hundreds of miles away, would inevitably be greatly affected. In this case, the imperial court must urgently transfer grain from the south.

He sent people out of the mountains to investigate, and the news came quickly. Because of the drought in the north, the northern rivers are generally stranded, and the ships cannot directly enter the rivers such as Lishui and Yingshui around the capital, so they must transfer the capital by land. And the good news is that because it is a rush to transfer grain into Beijing, the arrangement of Cao Yun is not like the heavy escort of the previous side and the transportation of a large number of concentrated troops, but one after another. Because of this, there is also some laxity in escorting, after all, it is impossible to escort the whole journey with heavy troops over such a long distance, which is also unrealistic.

After learning these news, Qin Donghe was like a treasure, and after careful research, Qin Donghe formulated a plan to rob Cao Yun at the Baihe Wharf in Nanyang County.
