Chu Huan nodded slightly, knowing in his heart that Lin Lang was gentle and considerate in front of him, but in the eyes of outsiders, she was a rose with thorns, which could only be seen from a distance but not played with.

Only Chu Huan understands that Lin Lang seems to be tough, but her heart is actually very fragile. She is just an ordinary woman with beautiful looks, and her needs are no different from ordinary women, but because of the burden of He Shengquan on her shoulders, she must To bear the pressure that others cannot understand.

But Chu Huan knew that her heart was actually very soft.

Chu Huan expected Lin Lang to take in the Su family in such a catastrophe.

"The old uncle didn't come here at first. He said he was sorry for his father and felt ashamed...!" Lin Lang sighed, "I sent Su Bo to invite him, but he didn't come here either, and he was too old to endure the hardships. Such a homeless person, in poor health, I went to Tongzhou myself, to talk about it, and then let the old man agree to come here."

Chu Huan asked: "I heard from my old uncle earlier that hundreds of people came here, are they all from the Su family?"

Lin Lang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Old uncle and the others were with the Qian family when they were in Tongzhou. The Qian family is also one of the seven surnames in Xiguan. Like the Su family, they suffered heavy losses, and the whole family also entered the pass for refuge. When they were in Tongzhou, the two families helped each other. I heard that when they were in Xiguan Road, although the two families had the same surname in Xiguan, they fought openly and secretly in business, and their relationship was not harmonious. The two families have settled their suspicions and helped each other. This may be the biggest gain for the two families in this disaster. When I arrived in Tongzhou, the Qian family and the Su family were together. When I saw them, they were in a real situation... It's really bad...!" At this point, Lin Lang shook her head and said, "There are more than 200 people from the two families, I thought about it, and let all these 200 people come here temporarily. Yunshan, except for the old uncle who is not in good health, I was sent to the mansion for recuperation, Qi Shu and Su Zhen said they would come to take care of them, I have arranged for everyone else to stay in the winery."

"Wine shop?"

"It was the winery I built when you came to Beijing." Lin Lang blinked her beautiful eyes: "The construction of the winery is very fast, and it has been roughly completed. If it weren't for this incident, it would even be possible for the guys to enter. wine shop, but after the old uncle and the others came over, I temporarily placed the others in the wine shop."

Chu Huan hugged Lin Lang and said with a smile, "Da Boss, these 200 people have more than 200 mouths. Eating, drinking and drinking every day is a huge expense, and only rich people like you can afford it."

Linlang lightly pinched Chu Huan's wrist with two fingers, rolled his eyes at him, and said in a charming way: "You are making fun of him again." After a pause, she sighed: "Fortunately, we and Shengquan are now the home of Yujiu. , although for the war in the northwest, I heard that the government of Anyi Road and our Xishan Road are raising funds to requisition food and grass, but the food we need for He Shengquan is not lacking. , now we have a lot of food in stock, enough to support the wineries below to make wine at the same time... Although there are two hundred mouths, eating and drinking is not a problem, although the food is not good, it can make them full!"

Chu Huan sighed: "Which one of the seven surnames in Xiguan was not a rich and famous family in the northwest, they never thought that one day it would be my family Linlang who helped them through the most critical moment."

Lin Lang smiled sweetly and said: "Fortunately, the war in the northwest is over. I also got news that the Xiliang people have withdrawn from the northwest. Now the northwest is just some civil disturbances. The government is suppressing the bandits. It won't be long before the northwest is over. It will be peaceful, old uncle and the others are now inquiring about the situation in the northwest every day, as long as the northwest is a little more peaceful, they will return to their hometown and make a comeback."

"It is not easy to achieve peace in the Northwest within a short period of time." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The biggest problem in the Northwest today is that the people's hearts are not stable. If the people's hearts cannot be stabilized, it is just a dream to restore peace."

Lin Lang frowned and said, "The imperial court will always find a way? Could it be that the Northwest will continue to be in chaos?"

"The people can't eat enough, how can they settle down?" Chu Huan sighed: "To stabilize the northwest, the first thing is to let the people have enough to eat, at least let them see the hope that they can have a full stomach, but now the southeast The war is raging, and what the imperial court lacks is food, so how can they get food to go to the northwest to calm the hearts of the people?"

Although Lin Lang was good at running the business, she naturally didn't know much about military and political affairs. The playful Liu Ye raised her brows and asked, "You mean, Uncle and the others won't be able to go back?"

关闭

"At least for now, there are still some difficulties." Chu Huan said: "The government is suppressing bandits, and now the food in the northwest can still make the soldiers work hard to suppress the bandits. If the food problem remains unresolved, even the soldiers will have no food to eat. Eat, guess what the consequences will be?"

Although Lin Lang didn't understand military affairs, she was a smart person after all. She understood something in an instant and changed her color slightly.

"Chu Lang, is it really that serious?"

"I'm afraid it's more serious than what I said."

"But...but why does the imperial court have no food? These years, the taxation is not light, and the food harvest is not bad."

"The grain harvest is indeed not bad, but this does not mean that the imperial court is not short of food." Chu Huan sighed: "Even in the northwest, it seems that there is a shortage of food and grass, but the grain depots of many aristocratic families are full of food, even outside the customs. The wealthy families in the pass naturally stored a large amount of food behind them. Some of the hard-working food of the common people was collected by the court, but most of it fell into the hands of those wealthy families. The court spent too much and the treasury was empty, but those people There is no shortage of food in the hands of the aristocratic family."

Lin Lang understood.

"Besides, what can old uncle and the others do when they return to the northwest?" Chu Huan said: "Their belongings have been looted, and they can be regarded as a ruined family. Now that they go back, they are in ruins, so how can they settle down? I think they need to find another way to settle down. gone."

Lin Lang said: "There is no need to worry. Although the loss of money is huge, they still have land in their hands. Each of the seven surnames in Kansai owns a large area of ​​cultivated land. As long as they return to the northwest, even if they have no money in their hands, as long as they have the land deed With that in hand, they can still make a comeback."

"The title deed?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Lin Lang, do you mean that after they go back, they still want to rely on the title deed to make a comeback?"

"What's wrong?" Seeing Chu Huan's stern expression, Lin Lang's heart tightened: "Chu Lang, is something wrong?"

Chu Huan pondered for a while, and finally said: "I'm afraid that old uncle and the others won't be able to get back their land."

Lin Lang wondered: "Why? When old uncle and the others fled, they didn't lose the title deed. Of course it was impossible to take away the storefront at that time. They all knew that the most important thing was the title deed. As long as they had the title deed, unless the West The Liang people really occupied the northwest, otherwise as long as Xiliang retreats, the land will still be theirs."

Chu Huan asked: "Old uncle and the others have always thought this way?"

"Of course I think so." Seeing that Chu Huan asked strangely, she was a smart woman, and she felt that something was wrong, "Old uncle and the others knew that the Xiliang people had withdrawn their troops, but they were happy for several days, Chu Lang, Do you know something? What happened?"

Chu Huan finally said: "Someone wants to take advantage of the fire!"

"Take advantage of the fire?"

"That's right." Chu Huan nodded slightly: "I told you earlier that when the mission passed through the northwest, Gao Lian from Qingzhou led a large group of gentry to hold a welcome banquet for the mission in Jiazhou. In name, it is to welcome the mission, but in fact, it wants Master Xue, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, to speak to the court about a big matter."

"Big thing!" Lin Lang twisted her body and turned towards Chu Huan: "Chu Lang, what big thing are you talking about?" After a pause, she added, "I...can I know?"

She had already thought in her heart that although Chu Huan was her lover, she is now an official of the imperial court. Some important military and political affairs of the imperial court are not convenient for ordinary people to know. If you can’t say it, don’t say it.”

Chu Huan wrapped his hands around Lin Lang's soft and slender waist, and said with a smile, "I have nothing to say to you." His expression became serious: "The squires of Tianshan Road and Beishan Road are going to sell food and occupy land!"

"Occupy land for food production?"

Chu Huan immediately explained the intentions of Gao Lian and others, Lin Lang frowned and said: "That Gao is really not a good guy, he... how could they do this?" Some anxiously said: "Chu Lang, those The real estate has been worked hard by several generations of the Su family. If they just say that it is gone, how can they be reconciled? If this is the case, if the old uncle knows, he will be very angry."

"The gentry and aristocrats in the three northwest and Xiguan avenues suffered heavy losses and their vitality was greatly injured. Now the northwest is almost controlled by the two aristocratic families of Beishan and Tianshan." Chu Huan said slowly: "They just want to take this opportunity to completely infiltrate Entering Xiguan Road, they will completely destroy the foundation of the noble family of Xiguan Road. Naturally, they dare not move the official land. They want to destroy the foundation of the wealthy family of Xiguan Road. Before, I only thought that they were going to make a big move on Xiguan Road, but after what you said, I now understand a little bit that their purpose of selling food and occupying land is probably to occupy the land of the seven surnames of Xiguan, so that the seven surnames of Xiguan have nothing to do. Possibility to stand up." Paused, squinted his eyes and said: "The seven surnames in Xiguan are the heads of the big and small families in Xiguan, as long as these seven surnames are suppressed, then the entire Xiguan Dao big and small families will naturally have no power to compete with the other two aristocratic families. Contest, once successful, the Xiguan Road will also be in their hands."

Lin Lang frowned and said, "Chu Lang, they acted so mischievously, could the imperial court really let them do this?"

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally said: "In my estimation, the imperial court will agree to their request in seven or eight out of ten!"
