Chapter 90
Master Huici's meditation room in the backyard of Qiling Temple was supposed to be a peaceful room, but the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

"Benefactor Zhanjun, is Master Lin's matter really so serious? The four princes and eight princes have made great contributions to this dynasty, so the emperor should take care of the emperor's face, even if the punishment is not so serious." Master Hui Ci listened When I saw Wang Zhanjun's analysis, I was very surprised, and I still didn't believe it.

"Master, you are a monk, and you don't pay much attention to official information. But you should understand the affairs of Jiangnan very clearly. Jiangnan has become the territory of aristocratic families. The Taizu of this dynasty raised troops in Jiangnan, so most of the dignitaries of this dynasty From Jiangnan. Over the years, most of the candidates in the palace examinations are Jiangnan students. After so many years, nearly [-]% of the dignitaries in this dynasty are from Jiangnan. No one will give up easily in the dispute between civil and military affairs and interests. Now the battle can no longer be concluded gone."

Although Lin Ruhai lived in the officialdom, he had never looked at such a problem like Wang Zhanjun.He thought about it carefully and found that Wang Zhanjun was right.In the Great Wu Dynasty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, honors headed by the four kings and eight princes were canonized, and after that, new honors were rarely canonized.The children of the four kings and eight princes are indeed up to the mark. After the first generation of nobles, there are also many outstanding children. The Lin family is the representative of them, but the Lin family abandoned martial arts and followed literature.After so many years, the ones who received the most canonizations were after the founder of the country, which is why the emperor valued the four princes and eight princes so much.

But after so many years, the children of the four kings and eight princes have long lost the bravery of their predecessors and have become playboys.Before the emperor ascended the throne, his status was not high, but there were not many nobles investing in him, but he was stumbling everywhere.It is obvious that the emperor does not want to see Xungui.

Besides, the civil official group has always looked down on nobles, and the civil and military disputes have never disappeared in all dynasties.So many dignitaries are concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River, and the entanglement of interests among them is beyond words.

Lin Ruhai said with a wry smile: "My little friend is right. There are too many officials in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if they are rich, they are not enough for everyone. In recent years, my government affairs in salt administration have become more and more difficult to handle. I thought I was a prince. The reason why they all intervened in it. Thinking about it now, there is also the reason why the civil official group stood by. Although the Lin family has abandoned Wu Congwen, the relationship with the Jia family is too close, and the civil official group regards it as an abandoned child."

What Lin Ruhai didn't say was that his contact with the civil official group became increasingly scarce. Firstly, because he was serving as the censor of salt inspection, he had to reduce contact with his colleagues;

"Benefactor Zhan Jun, only now is there a way to help the Lin family overcome this crisis." Master Huici asked instead of Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai used to have a little self-confidence, but now it has disappeared, and turned to look at Wang Zhanjun.

"Of course there are ways, but the price is too high. I don't know if Master Lin is willing to pay." Wang Zhanjun didn't say it clearly, but just wanted to see how determined Lin Ruhai was.

When Lin Ruhai heard that there was a solution, he beamed with joy, and knew that it would cost a lot to solve the situation of the Lin family.He didn't hesitate, and said: "Little friend, Mr. Lin is willing to give half of the family property, just to point out a way out for the Lin family."

Wang Zhanjun had no idea about Lin Ruhai's family property, and said: "Master Lin misunderstood, I'm not talking about the Lin family's property. It must be clear by now what Master Lin's situation is, and now it's time for Master Lin to stand in line."

Lin Ruhai said: "To tell you the truth, my friend, although I have decided to join the emperor, there is no guarantee that the emperor will protect the Lin family. Lin is already riding a tiger. Even if the emperor does not hold Lin responsible, there is no guarantee that others will let the Lin family go." .”

Wang Zhanjun asked: "If Mr. Lin really decides, it's not impossible to solve this problem."

The current problems of the Lin family are obvious, but the road to breaking the situation is not easy.It would be fine if the Lin family was a big family, but Lin Ruhai has only one minor daughter left.

Lin Ruhai asked: "Dare to ask me how to break the situation."

"Lord Lin, even if you take refuge in the emperor, the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River will not reach the emperor's hands, and it will still be handled by the emperor. I am right."

"Yes, the right to dispose of these salt taxes is indeed in the hands of the emperor, which is why Lin has always been loyal to the emperor."

"Then, this means that what the emperor lacks most now is money. Only when the emperor has enough money can he slowly start to gather power."

Lin Ruhai seemed to understand what Wang Zhanjun meant, but said helplessly: "Even if Lin pays the salt tax, the emperor would not dare to deal with it himself. Lin is not stingy with his family property, but the Lin family's several million taels of property is very important to the emperor. It's useless to say it. The emperor will not protect the Lin family just because of this."

Wang Zhanjun interrupted Lin Ruhai and said, "Lord Lin, what the emperor needs is more than these. Now what the emperor continues is a source of money, which can continuously bring money."

Only then did Lin Ruhai know why Wang Zhanjun was so sure that there was a way for the emperor to protect the Lin family, but Lin Ruhai couldn't come up with such a method, nor could he think of it.

"Little friend, does it mean that you have such a method in your hands? The emperor needs a lot of money, and ordinary methods can't impress the emperor at all."

Wang Zhanjun took out a mirror from his clothes, handed it to Lin Ruhai, and said, "Master Lin must know this thing. Wang showed the method of making this mirror. I wonder if it can impress the emperor."

Lin Ruhai naturally knew him, there was one in Master Huici's room.The mirrors in the Great Wu Dynasty all came from foreign vassals, and the prices were extremely expensive.The mirror Wang Zhanjun took out was only the size of a palm, but it was such a mirror, worth at least 100 taels of silver.If it is a large mirror, the price is even more priceless.

Even Lin Ruhai's own family business is big, so he couldn't help being tempted.The profits in this are simply too touching.

Even Master Huici couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "Amitabha."

Lin Ruhai didn't understand why Wang Zhanjun came up with this method, but it was a life-saving treasure for him.If he reported this method to the emperor, the emperor would not be able to watch the Lin family being framed, and would definitely protect the safety of the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai is also a decisive person, and said: "Little friend, Mr. Lin knows the value of this item, and is willing to exchange [-]% of his family property for the manufacturing method of this item, and Mr. Lin promises that the Lin family owes you a favor. No matter what request you make, The Lin family will do their best to complete it."

Wang Zhanjun quickly refused: "Master Lin doesn't have to be like this. To me, this is just a trivial matter. I can't afford to be like Master Lin."

Lin Ruhai persuaded: "It may be nothing to my little friend at this time, but it is a life-saving favor to the Lin family, so don't refuse."

Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Wang Zhanjun knew that he couldn't continue to refuse, but he also didn't want to accept so much of Lin Ruhai's family property.He's just a talent, but he doesn't have the ability to keep so many things.

"Master Lin, your family property is too eye-catching, which is harmful to me. How about, Master Lin give me some fields and shops."

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and knew Wang Zhanjun's concerns.There are many people staring at the property of the Lin family, and giving it to Wang Zhanjun rashly will cause a lot of trouble.
