Chapter 109
Popular support is very important, but it is not the most important thing for the emperor who cannot control the overall situation.But according to the book, there is only Jia Zheng, a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, in the Rongguo Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion, and Wang Ziteng is the only one among the four major families.However, judging from the fact that they made Jia Yucun the prefect of Jinling in a short period of time, the power of the nobles should not be underestimated.

Now, the nobles headed by the Four Kings and Eight Dukes are at their most powerful, but they are also at their weakest.The power of the four kings and eight princes is all based on the favor of the emperor. Once the emperor goes away, it will collapse in an instant.

So why did the emperor use such tricks to deal with them at this time?
Wang Zhanjun guessed that he should have seen the fact that the four kings and eight princes have no successors.

The generation of the four kings and eight princes who are now in power are all people with no vision. What's more, like the Rongguo Mansion and the Nan'an Prince Mansion, women from the back house are in power.Under the control of these people, the dandies of the major families emerged in endlessly, and there was no one who could bear the burden of the family.This also led to a fault in the inheritance of the major families.

Ordinarily, such dignitaries pose no threat to the imperial power, and the royal family should let go of their grudges against them.However, the current era corresponds to the period of the late Ming and early Qing in ancient China.At that time, the most important issue in society was land annexation.Similarly, the problem of land annexation in the Wu Dynasty is also very serious.The biggest force in land annexation is the founding nobles and royal family headed by the four kings and eight princes.

Naturally, the emperor can't take action against the royal family, so he can only take action against the nobles such as the four kings and eight princes.If they continue to exist, the problem of land annexation will not be resolved, and the land they control will continue to increase.In this way, the problem of land annexation cannot be solved at all.

The emperor chose the most ruthless way to deal with a group of blind families, so that the problem of land annexation could be alleviated.In addition, the emperor can use this kind of cover to arrange to solve the problem of land annexation.If the emperor can succeed, then he can continue the life of the Wu Dynasty.

"Master, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion sent someone to send a post, and wants to pick up the eldest lady to live there for a while." Lin An took the invitation from the Jia family and handed it to Lin Ruhai who had just returned to the mansion.

After Lin Ruhai's job report was over, the emperor let him enter the Hanlin Academy and take up a noble position.Such an honorable position was not in the eyes of the Jia family, thinking that Lin Ruhai was rejected by the royal family, and began to alienate the Lin family.It's a pity that the Jia family didn't live up to their expectations and had no money to build a family-friendly villa, so they turned their ideas on the Lin family.

"Does Yu'er know this time?" Lin Ruhai asked.

"My lord, I haven't told the eldest lady about this."

Lin Ruhai learned the lesson from Yangzhou, and treated the family more strictly, especially the people from Jia's mansion, who would not easily put them in the inner house.Although Lin Daiyu was in charge of the house, it was all the affairs of the inner house, and the affairs of the outer house were still in Lin Ruhai's hands.

Lin Ruhai took the post and said to Lin An, "I'm going to see Yu'er, so don't worry about it."

Girls from aristocratic families are mostly socialized by the elders of the family.The Lin family has no suitable elders, and Lin Daiyu can only stay at home all day.Lin Ruhai also saw these things, but he had nothing to do.The only place suitable for taking Lin Daiyu out to socialize is Jia's House. The relationship between Lin and Jia's family is not good, so Lin Ruhai is worried about letting Jia's family take their daughter out to socialize.

Seeing Lin Ruhai coming, Lin Daiyu asked, "Why did father come here today?"

"Yu'er, the old matriarch of Jia's mansion sent someone to post a message to invite you to live in Jia's mansion for a while. What do you think?"

"Father, my daughter wants to be with her father at home."

Since Lin's family returned to the capital, they only went to Jia's mansion once, and that time they broke up in a quarrel.Lin Daiyu also saw from that time that her father didn't want to see Jia's house, and some actions of Jia's house also made her feel chilled, and she didn't have a good impression of Jia's house.

"My son is smart, and my father won't hide it from you. You know about the fact that Jia's mansion is going to build a family-saving villa. For my father's sake, I have already donated 1 taels of silver to support Jia's family. However, your grandmother I am not satisfied, so I want to use your name to ask for money from my father."

Lin Daiyu was also quite familiar with the situation of the Jia Mansion. She had helped Wang Xifeng settle accounts many times, and managed the Lin Mansion for a long time.

"Father, since my grandmother's family is not capable of building a family-saving villa, why do they still need to build it. What is the purpose of spending the entire family's property in this way just to build a useless family-saving villa?"

Of course Lin Ruhai understood why Jia's family wanted to build a family-friendly villa, but she couldn't tell Lin Daiyu about the calculations involved.

"Yu'er, I don't know why Jia's family wants to build a family-saving villa. Next, Jia's family will come to our house for the family-friendly villa. Father, I hope you will not agree to their requests just because you can't bear it for a while. The matter of visiting relatives' villa is very involved, so it's better for our family not to get involved. "

"Father, how will my daughter respond to the invitation from Jia's mansion?"

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Daiyu with satisfaction and said, "Yu'er, my father believes that his daughter can handle this matter well. If you are willing to go out for a walk, then agree to it. If you don't, it's okay. My father has already told Mr. Shen Alright, Mrs. Shen's wife agrees to take you as a adopted daughter. In this way, as a father, I can ask Mrs. Shen to take you out to socialize and meet some friends."

"Father, it is the greatest happiness for a daughter to be accompanied by her father." Lin Daiyu said to Lin Ruhai coquettishly.

Lin Ruhai was amused by his daughter and said, "Okay. As a father, I will refuse your grandmother's invitation for you."

"Father, wait. Grandmother will post posts to our family every day this month. If she keeps refusing, it will be bad for our family's reputation. After all, my daughter has lived in Jia's family for several years. In this way, it is easy for others to say that our family I am ungrateful. Daughter, let’s go tomorrow, and my daughter misses the sisters in Jia’s house.” Lin Daiyu still decided to go to Jia’s house, so as to save others from gossip about Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai also thought of her daughter's reputation, and she couldn't let others think her daughter was heartless.However, the reputation of the Jia Mansion is really bad and couldn't be worse.Jia Baoyu is now 14 years old, and he still hangs out in the inner house all day long, not wanting to go to school, and Jia's mansion doesn't know how to restrain himself, which makes the city full of storms.

It was because of Jia's fame that the Lin family was implicated and Lin Ruhai was in a mess.Lin Daiyu is now 13 years old, and it's time to find her husband's family, but Lin Ruhai told her friends in private, but they all politely rejected him.

The Lin family didn't have a mistress to communicate with, so they seemed to be struggling with those rumors.
