Chapter 49: Luxury Variables
(The second update, ask for a red ticket)
The assassin went up the mountain, and Lin Jian was also injured because of this, and Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde, Fu Qinghe, Sun Jingtang, Wu Qi and others, who were thoroughly discussing in the Dongshanmen Zen Temple, naturally couldn't sit still, so they rushed to the top of the mountain to inquire about the injury.
After Lin Tie bandaged the wound, he came over to see Song Jia first, and asked Sun Wenwan to personally escort Song Jia back to his residence, which allowed Cao Ziang and others to be invited to this side of the courtyard to discuss matters.
"Judging from the traces of climbing in the back mountain, there should be two assassins who answered at the hanging rock on the mountainside, and the top of the mountain missed, and these two jumped into the water and escaped, but could not be caught; I was negligent about all of this......" Wu Qi said.
Lin Jian shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that the luxury family would have the intention of killing people, so don't fight for any responsibility for this matter, and be ......more careful in the future."
Wu Qi is the chief sentinel officer, responsible for the scout news of the whole army, and he is also responsible for the arrangement of the secret outpost.
The Jiangdong Left Army was now being greatly integrated, and Lin Jian wanted to grasp the dynamics in Chongzhou, as well as Jiangning, Jinhai, and even Qingzhou in Shandong.
Lin bound the Donglu Zen Temple, and only around the Donglu Zen Monastery was there a light and dark sentry to prevent the assassins from infiltrating and infiltrating, and the defense of the mountaintop Zen Monastery was not so thorough, so that the four assassins infiltrated from the West Cliff, causing the two assassins to successfully break into the room and assassinate the incident.
In fact, Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu, Wu Qi, Ao Canghai and others are all people with great experience in governing the army, but no matter how experienced people are, when they are so busy and extremely short of manpower, they will inevitably make mistakes, and Lin Jian will not want to blame them all - an overly harsh boss is by no means a good boss.
"I was a little negligent before, but now that I think about it, it's normal for the luxury family to have the intention of killing people," Cao Ziang said, "The luxury family doesn't know that we have the confidence to obtain enough money to raise troops - if we can't get enough money from other sources under Yue Lengqiu's suppression, and we still have to maintain such a strong force, the silver crisis will be the first and most urgent threat we need to solve." What are the direct and effective ways to alleviate the banking crisis? β
"......" Lin Jian took a light breath and said, "Are they afraid that we will use the second daughter to lure the dove to quench our thirst, use the second daughter to directly drag the luxury family in, and make the war in the southeast bigger all of a sudden?" β
"It should be so," Cao Ziang said, "as long as we make public the evidence of the collusion between the luxury family and the East China Sea Kou, the imperial court will be forced to use troops against the luxury family." The war in the southeast has resumed, and the troops in Yue Lengqiu's hands have been restrained by Liu An'er and Zhukou in the northwest, and the southeast direction will inevitably rely on our strength and will be forced to come up with money and food to help us tide over the financial crisis. On the surface of the situation we are in at this time, only by raising a big thief can we respect ourselves - isn't it normal for the luxury family to think of us like this? β
"Whether it's a gentleman or a villain, there will always be some deviations in treating people with themselves, and it's not surprising," Fu Qinghe sighed softly, "Since the luxury family doesn't want to get involved directly, it's a good thing for us." β
The Jiangdong Left Army took great pains to raise six or seven thousand soldiers and horses, and the luxury family emptied their family funds for the previous war, and they didn't have three or four years to relieve themselves, how could they want to be directly involved again at this time?
Lin Tie nodded, it was normal for them to judge the luxury family and the luxury family to judge that they were biased, thinking that their reputation in Jiangning was not good, and they thought that the name of the aunt and sister-in-law of the luxury family had been tarnished by him, and it was not much of an accident, so they didn't discuss anything on this topic, diverged, and said: "The Song family, I'm afraid that they can't be contacted for the time beingβat least until the Song family can't see the possibility of differential treatment, they won't draw a line with the luxury family, even if they are willing to contact people outside the luxury family, for them." At this time, Yue Lengqiu and Zhang Xie are also much better choices than us! β
"Zhang and Yue, the villains who can only stab in the back, how can they win the trust of the Song family?" Lin Mengde said disdainfully.
"It's true, I heard that Song Fu's son Song Bo has left Jiangning and is missing!" Lin Jian said, "At least until we defeat the Donghai Kou on the islands of Changguo County, don't expect the Song family to make any choice!" β
"But no matter what, if the Luxury Song Clan falls into our hands, the Luxury Family will still see her as a variable between the Luxury and the Song Dynasty," Cao Ziang said, "Can't we give the Assassin a second time?" β
"It is estimated that the luxury family does not have the face to send assassins anymore," Lin Jian laughed, and the wound under his left armpit was painful, and said, "The place on this mountain is very big, and it will be a waste if you don't use it, Ziang and Jingtang, you all live with me on the mountain, Mr. Wu and the old engineer also invite them to live in the mountain, this mountain is not too high, it is easy to enter and exit, and it can also cultivate one's body." β
Escort resources are always limited, and before the construction of the new city, in order to prevent the infiltration of the assassins, in addition to the military camp, it is better to live in a centralized manner for those like Cao Ziang, Sun Jingtang, and Sun Jingxuan.
Everyone moved to the mountain, which naturally made up for the holes in the defense of the mountain, and also freed up some manpower.
Although Song Jia asked for her to die, Lin Jian was reluctant to let her die, just as Cao Ziang said, she was a variable between the two families of luxury and Song.
******************
The eight surnames of Eastern Fujian such as the luxury family are all one in the eyes of the center and ordinary people, and only the people who really hold the real power in the center can finally protect the Song family when they use the luxury family soldiers or even exterminate the luxury family - the Song family must see that there is indeed such a guarantee before it can turn back; Otherwise, they would rather see the fall of the Great Yue Dynasty and strive for a favorable position in the New Dynasty.
The extravagant family was sealed as a marquis, and the other seven surnames were also awarded the title of county earl and county prince.
Ordinary knighthoods are divided into real and virtual seals. The so-called actual seal will seal the food estate, and the tax officer can be appointed to extract the food and clothing rent tax from the food estate; The false seal directly converts the food into money and grain.
In addition to those scarce eternal lords, the descendants of the general knights can be demoted to the rank of heirs. No matter how disdainful the children and grandchildren are, as long as they don't make a big disaster that the heavens are angry and resentful, the most can enjoy the glory and wealth of the nine generations. Like Lin Lian, he was named a county baron, the last first-class lord, and he could not be reduced to his descendants, but his eldest son could still enjoy the grace and enter the country through the eunuch. This kind of political privilege is generally only enjoyed by court officials above the third rank; This is in addition to eternal rewards such as Yongye Tian and other political and economic privileges such as exemption from taxes and military service.
However, ordinary knighthoods are still far from being comparable to eternal lords like Mu Guogong and Marquis Yongchang, and eternal lords are far from being comparable to the knights of Ripping Earth.
The knighthood of the eight surnames of Eastern Fujian on the condition of armistice and surrender is the real rippling seal.
The luxury family of the Marquis of Jin'an is regarded as a county marquis, and directly has the right to rule the Jin'an Mansion, can appoint officials by himself, and can organize sixteen battalions of armor guards and soldiers, which is a country within a country. Song Fu of the Song family named Yongtaibo, as the county uncle, has the right to govern Yongtai County in the southwest of Jin'an Prefecture, and has three battalions of soldiers. The other six wealthy families are in the same situation as the Song family, with the power of governing one county or one township, and ranging from one to three battalions of soldiers.
For more than 200 years, the eight surnames of Eastern Fujian have been closely intertwined through the relationship between in-laws, and if the luxury family is defeated, it will eventually be given to the three clans, even if the other seven surnames are not held accountable, the other seven surnames will almost be killed.
Song Jia and Luxury Feihu were originally cousins, but after the Luxury family incident, they directly married to strengthen the relationship between the Luxury and Song families.
Of course, Song Jia and Hao Feihu are together, which is the link of the relationship between the two families. Song Jia fell into the hands of the Jiangdong Left Army, which was a variable for the two families of luxury and Song.
The luxury family sent someone to kill Song Jia, and it was the daughter-in-law of the luxury family who was killed, which can be said to be a martyrdom and righteousness.
Lin Jian just tested Song Jia and said that he would secretly send her back to the Song family, which was actually a test of the true relationship between the two families. Song Jia knew very well in her heart that the biggest possibility for her to go back was to commit suicide and martyrdom by hanging beams, and the Song family might even marry another daughter to the luxury family after her death.
From this point of view, Song Jia's variable cannot pry into the relationship between the two families at this time, and Lin Jian can only continue to hold Song Jia in his hands and wait for the opportunity.
*************
After talking about things, the rain stopped and the sky was clear, the east showed the white of the fish's belly, and the mountains overflowed with green morning light.
Lin Jian was injured and felt a little tired, and wanted to go back to the house to rest. When he returned to the house, he saw Liu Yue'er and Xiaoman's two daughters sleeping sweetly on the table, he pushed the door in, and the two daughters woke up and raised their sleepy eyes to look at him.
"Aren't they all ready for bedding, why are they all asleep on the table?" Lin Jian asked with concern.
"You take Miss Song into the room, serve one more person, serve one more person, I won't say anything strange to make you angry." Xiao Man lowered his head and said weakly.
"Huh!" Lin Jian smiled in surprise, "You two are just waiting for me to come back for this, just this bit of ambition and the courage to ridicule me?" Can't make a little more profit? β
"Sister Yue'er said that men are the heaven of women's families, what do men want to do, how can women's families stop them?" Xiao Man said that he was apologizing, and his eyes looked at Lin Lian's face that was still observing, and seeing that Lin Lian was completely lifeless, he had the courage to say, "Sister Xun'er hasn't entered the door yet, and you have another concubine, which is not good for your reputation......"
"You think so too?" Lin Jian asked Liu Yue'er.
"Miss Song is always a luxury person, Chongzhou is tossed like this, and the impact is always not good. The seventh lady also said that everything can't be left to your temperament, if you really want to do it, I don't care about you, I will get along with Miss Song......" Liu Yue'er said softly.
"Can you figure it out, but I don't want to? My face looks like a greedy mistake? I'm really angry," Lin Jian depressedly grabbed Yue'er's neck and dragged it into his arms, I don't know what these two women were thinking about all day long in the house, "What you asked you to do for me a few days ago, if you don't hear about it, I can't get rid of my anger!" β
"How can anyone be so forced?" Liu Yue'er also knew that Lin Tie was not really angry, seeing Lin Tie's ill-intentioned appearance, she immediately thought of Lin Tie asking her to swallow meat with her mouth, her face was red with shame, and she struggled to escape.
Xiao Man didn't know the bottom line, so he came over curiously and asked, "What's the matter?" I'll do it too, as long as you're not angry, I'll do it for you. β
ββ¦β¦ You damn girl, this dirty thing can be said, there is no shame or shame. Liu Yue'er dragged Xiaoman to the room.
Lin Tie was still injured, Liu Yue'er struggled to escape, it was inconvenient for him to chase, watching the second daughter frolicking into the inner room, only to find that Xiao Man had unconsciously grown a little taller, and he was already as tall as Liu Yue'er, and he was becoming more and more beautiful and charming. At this time, I remembered that I had not told the second daughter about moving to the mountain to live, and I thought that I would have to explain it to a while so that they would not want to go somewhere else.
Thinking of letting Xiaoman help him deal with official business when he was in Jiangning, this reunion did not continue to let her do these things, but let the second daughter have nothing to do in the house, thinking about it, Lin Jian thought that it was better to find something for them to do.
