Chapter 174
Linge always drank tea and kept silent. The family had been suffering for a long time, embezzled, corrupted, exploited layer by layer, every family protected each other, and there were intricate relationships under the huge family.

The Yanyang Dynasty was carried forward by this behemoth, how long could it go?
How long can this behemoth last?

Do not break or stand!

"What kind of policy does the emperor want to implement? It's very difficult. There are aristocratic checks and balances inside, and the military power of the Marquis Mansion outside." Elder Lin Ge asked softly, "Do you want Abao to be in this situation after decades?"

Abao is the baby name of the grandson of the emperor.

Lin Yushu's son.

In a word, it has already explained the attitude of Ge Lao. He supports Zhenbei Hou to implement reforms.

"Father, I also feel sorry for Abao. Abao is still young, and his future is unknown. The Lin family will be headed by Bai Qing after decades. With his temperament, he will definitely be able to protect Abao." Lin Hongyuan said, "For decades There are too many variables in the future, let alone. During the years of Lord Hou's campaign, the family has united as one, because we have promised back then. No matter what, the Lin family will definitely protect the interests of the family. If we turn against each other, wouldn't we become treacherous people? .”

"What is a treacherous person? Yanyang has been in a chaotic war for decades, and the north and the south are fighting. It is because our internal worries have not been settled that we have foreign troubles. The iron cavalry in Zhenbei is strong and strong. Why can't they beat the northern barbarians, and the supplies can't keep up. The treasury Years have been empty, the aristocratic family is full of gold and jade, and the granary is full, forcing the Hou Mansion to support the Su family business to fight against the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family wants to trap the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry in Ningzhou, hoping that he will continue to fight against the Beiman endlessly, forever Not going back to Beijing. That’s why after fighting for decades, the cavalry couldn’t cross the Shaling Tianshan Mountains. We held him back. The aristocratic family has enjoyed a hundred years of glory, so it’s time to let go.” When Lin Ge said the excitement, he kept coughing "Reformation is not a one-day achievement. Even if the taxation of land is implemented to weaken the financial power of the family, the family is still aristocratic, still has land, and will not be ruined. The reform is not for the family, but for the common people. The Marquis is not interested in tactics. In the world. He wants a truly peaceful and prosperous world, with little to support and old people to rely on, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are free from the disaster of war."

Lin Hongcheng asked painfully, "Father, if the aristocratic family becomes a mess and the imperial power is gathered, what can we do to protect the safety of our family?"

"What about the displaced refugees during natural disasters? What about those people who have no land and starve to death on the streets in famine years?" Elder Lin Ge asked softly, "When you read sage books since childhood, did you do it for the well-being of the people, or for the honor and disgrace of your family?"

"When Bai Feng was reforming back then, his father set up a trick to cut off his head. After decades, my father's heart softened and his knife became blunt." Lin Hongcheng said disappointedly, "You are also for the sake of your family. You died like the first emperor, and you killed the Hou family. You love your sister and your grandchildren, but have you forgotten? You have sons and grandsons, and you are the head of the Lin family."

Lin Ge always thought of the handsome and handsome Bai Feng, who was supposed to be a rare talent in the Yanyang Dynasty, but died at a young age due to power strife.When he was doing the Qingming Festival alone, he couldn't help but think about what Yanyang would be like if Bai Feng hadn't died and he and him worked together.

"This change is imperative. Peace talks between the northern barbarians and a truce on the border are the right time and place for people to be harmonious." Elder Lin Ge knew that his sons wanted to protect the rights of the Lin family. It must be done. Change is for the long-term stability of Yanyang. Now Yanyang is a barren land with ten miles and ten rooms and five empty spaces. The imperial court wants to promote new policies, emphasize agriculture and mulberry, promote imperial examinations, increase production, and restore vitality. This is the direction of the situation. If the aristocratic family insists on going its own way , is also an enemy of the people, water can carry a boat and it can overturn it. Hongyuan, Hongcheng, for the sake of Abao, let's cooperate with Lord Hou to implement the New Deal."

"After Lord Hou implements the new policy, if you don't hand over the military power, what will you do if you support the soldiers?" Lin Hongyuan asked.

"No!" Elder Lin Ge said, "He will return the military power."

"Who can guarantee it!" Lin Hongyuan was very rational, "Father, the family has been prosperous for a hundred years, and they don't want to lose their financial resources and power. Then the Marquis Mansion has held military power for decades, and they care about each other. Is he willing to return the military power? , the current situation is as we wish, since we want to promote the New Deal, the Marquis must first hand over the military power."

"What's the point of handing over the military power? With Lord Hou here, he is the military power. If you get the Tiger Talisman, you won't be able to command the three armies." Linge shook his head.

This is the disadvantage of military power tied to one person.

Lin Hongyuan said, "Father, if we hand over the tiger talisman, we will not be able to command the armed forces. If we don't hand it over, how can we carry out the New Deal with confidence?"

After Zhenbei Hou left the palace, he went to the Lin Mansion. When he had a secret conversation with Mr. Lin Ge and the Lin family brothers, it was already dead of night when he came back.Xie Jue was waiting for him in the front yard, and Zhenbeihou told the results of the discussion between Mr. Lin Ge and him.

The aristocratic family and the Marquis Mansion distrusted each other. Although they wanted to push for a new deal, they didn't want to shed blood. Elder Lin Ge hoped that the cabinet would adjust the new deal, and work out a way to achieve both safety around land, taxation, agriculture and mulberry.

Xie Jue has been studying the New Deal since Beiman planned peace talks, and he has misgivings in his heart. He can understand the attitude of the Lin family, but there is no way to achieve the best of both worlds.

If there is a way to achieve both, there will be no bloodshed in the first few times.

"What does father mean?"

The Marquis of Zhenbei thought for a while, "After the peace talks, a new policy will be implemented. If you have time recently, go to the cabinet to discuss with your grandfather and two uncles. They are all elders, so don't be rude."

"Yes!" Xie Jue said calmly, "Father, the New Deal doesn't have a law for both."

"Find a buffer zone, and draw it slowly." Zhenbeihou also understood that the New Deal is an open bow and there is no turning back. There is no way to get the best of both worlds, so it can only be delayed.

"it is good!"

The Marquis of Zhenbei was very worried. If he wanted to promote the new policy, he had to hand over the military power first. The aristocratic family and the Marquis had been at odds for many years.

They all want to carry out the new policy, and after the dust settles, they will hand over their military power. The late emperor was burned to death in the palace. If there is no military power, who knows what will happen to the Hou Mansion.

In fact, if the military power is handed over, the aristocratic family and the royal family will not be able to order the iron cavalry in a short period of time. Without the tiger charm, as long as he is alive, the iron cavalry will never dare to refuse.

The dilemma for Zhenbeihou is that the implementation of the new policy is imminent. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry are far away in Ningzhou.

But if you don't hand over military power, the New Deal will be difficult to push.

Want to gamble?

If you lose the bet, it will be the fate of the whole Hou family.

Winning the bet is the fate of the nation for a hundred years, which is more important?
In Feng Mansion, Feng Yu has been looking at the account books of the Twelve States in the mansion recently. The number is huge, cumbersome, and time-consuming. She noticed something was wrong halfway through reading it, but she couldn't explain it.Just wanting to sort out the accounts quickly, Feng Shu told her not to worry, the accounts of the Twelve States would not be so easy to sort out in a while.
