After dressing like a crazy princess, I turned the hero into a tyrant

Chapter 88 088 The Past of the Lin Family
Lin Jiang naturally knew Chang Lin's intention to come here with the imperial decree at this time, and he also knew why he was rewarded by the emperor as an official who sounded like he had little real power after so many years. In fact, his nephew who was not very popular When he came to the south with an army of 10,000+, Lin Jiang knew that such a day would come sooner or later.

"Lord Chang Lin, I, Lin Jiang, am just a common man. I would like to ask, why did His Majesty give me this official position?"

Chang Lin looked at Lin Jiang pretending to be confused, although he was very angry in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.

"This time to welcome the army to the south, Mr. Lin is a person of great merit, and the court will naturally reward those who have made great achievements. Your Majesty thinks that Mr. Lin's qualifications are very suitable for entering the court as an official. In the future, I will make suggestions, and I hope Master Lin will bow to the essence in the future."

Lin Jiang didn't expect that the person in front of him looked very young, but he was so tactful in dealing with others, and it was difficult for him to refuse what he said.

"Since the emperor thinks highly of me, Lin Jiang, then I, Lin, will not disappoint the emperor's trust. I just don't know what I do as an official?"

What Changlin was waiting for was his words.

"The first task His Majesty gave you was to collect food and grass."

Hearing the words "collecting grain and grass", Lin Jiang's face became a little ugly, and the imperial edict in his hand became hot at the moment.He suddenly felt that sometimes it is not a good thing to be an official in the court.

"Master Changlin, what if I refuse?"

After Changlin heard his question, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said to him with a smile: "Resisting the edict is not respectful, it is to punish the nine clans."

"This"

Lin Jiang didn't think that after only a stick of incense, he would become a fish on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered.

"Actually, Master Lin doesn't have to sigh so much. As long as you do well the errands entrusted to you by His Majesty, the benefits will be indispensable in the future. If I remember correctly, Master Lin still has two sons at home, right? Even if Master Lin doesn't think about himself , but also think about your two children, do you really hope that your two children will be businessmen like you in the future?"

These words reminded Lin Jiang that he still has two sons.

"How much do you want?"

Hearing this, Chang Lin corrected his statement, "It's not you, but how much we need."

Now the person who was so angry that he was about to vomit blood became Lin Jiang.

"Okay, how much food does Your Majesty need me to collect?"

Hearing Lin Jiang's words, Chang Lin knew that this person should have surrendered. He didn't care whether the other party was sincerely surrendering or pretending to surrender. He only knew that if Lin Jiang came forward, the grain requisition this time would become very difficult. very simple.

And even if the rich businessmen in the south complained about this, they would all go to Lin Jiang. They would only think that Lin Jiang chose to sacrifice them in order to get high officials and rich salary.

Doesn't Lin Jiang know that he has entered the game set up by the other party, but so what, if it is like what Chang Lin said, his two sons can be favored by the emperor because of this, and he will be given a half-job , then no one would dare to underestimate their Lin family in the south.

After returning, Lin Jiang told his family what happened today. The family was quite happy when they heard that the emperor had appointed him an official, but when they heard that Lin Jiang said that they were going to collect food, they felt something was wrong. son.

Lin Jiang's wife is a woman of some knowledge. After hearing what her husband-in-law said, she frowned, but she didn't say anything in front of everyone. She went to Lin Jiang's side after everyone had left. While pinching his shoulders for him, he asked in a soft voice: "Why do I feel like what you said today seems like someone else made a game just for you?"

After Lin Jiang heard this, he patted her hand on his shoulder and sighed, "It must be you, look at those people in our family, when they heard that the emperor awarded me an official, they were all happy like Like something."

Mrs. Lin asked worriedly, "Is it difficult to collect food?"

Lin Jiang: "Well, this matter was very difficult in the first place, and now those people threw it to me, naturally because they took a fancy to my influence here, but only I know that some things are not as bright as ever Over the years, although those people seem to respect me on the surface, it is not because of the strong financial resources of the Lin family. Although my younger sister was once a queen, so what, in order to avoid suspicion, my younger sister married herself After entering the palace, they cut off contact with the Lin family, and now that something happened to them, they couldn't stay in the capital any longer, so I remembered that there is still an uncle like me."

Mrs. Lin sighed after hearing what her husband said, "Fortunately, my husband's hard work over the years has made the Lin family what it is today."

Lin Jiang sighed: "But even though the Lin family has more wealth now, our ancestors have only had one queen so far. To put it bluntly, the first emperor wanted to marry my sister, and he also took a fancy to me. The wealth of the Lin family, since these wealth can give our two children an official job, it is also good. It is said that the wealth is not more than three generations. How will the future be? By then we will be old and old , I’m afraid it’s useless, it’s better to send them to the officialdom, maybe our old Lin’s family can produce a high-ranking official in the future.”

Although Mrs. Lin didn't think so, Lin Jiang looked excited now. Over the years, she naturally understood her husband's obsession with becoming an official in the court. Since her sister-in-law entered the palace, the Lin family has been preparing for it. At first, I thought that my sister-in-law became the queen, and the Lin family should be honored no matter what, and the high-ranking officials and rich salary will continue to flow, but I didn't expect to hear from my sister-in-law since she left.

At first, the Lin family thought that something happened to her in the capital, so they tried every means to inquire about her, but the answer they got surprised the whole family.

A few months later, someone came from the capital, saying that he was entrusted to deliver a letter, but after Lin Jiang opened the letter, he realized that it was a letter from his sister-in-law who was far away in the capital. Knowing the content of it now, thinking about it now, still makes Mrs. Lin feel a little terrified.

The sister-in-law greeted her relatives as usual in the letter, and then directly stated in the letter that as long as she was still in the lower position, she would not allow her people to enter the court as officials.

Mrs. Lin still remembered that her husband was so angry after reading this letter that he didn't even reply to the letter, saying that he was going to recognize this sister-in-law.Until the emperors and queens passed away one after another, Mrs. Lin knew that the anger in her husband's heart had not dissipated at all.

Now, their children have chosen the opposite decision from theirs. To Lin Jiang, it means that his sister's idea was wrong.And it further proves that the Daqing court cannot do without the help of the Lin family.
