Chapter 610: 10 taels of gold

Imperial Capital, mid-May.

It has been ten days since Lin Yuwen received the family letter from his third sister-in-law.

He also hesitated about the matters mentioned in the letter.

The third sister-in-law asked him to find a way to be tactful without making the emperor jealous, and handed over 10 taels of gold to the treasury!
10 taels of gold, that's a full 100 million taels of silver!
At this time, the war was at a stalemate, the Turkic King Yujia personally marched, and the supplies of the Northern Dynasty were in short supply. If there were silver taels to strengthen the equipment, the strength would definitely be even better.

Wars were fought non-stop, conscription continued, and timber and food were purchased wantonly, and a lot of labor was required to reclaim the surrounding ore mountains.

The act of laboring the people and wasting money, ending the war as soon as possible, can also restore the well-being of the people!
Lin Yuwen clenched his fists, finally changed into court clothes, and entered the palace to face the saint.

At this time, the emperor was worrying. The Turks and the Huns came prepared with excellent soldiers and horses. Although they now rely on giant crossbows, chariots, and muskets to resist one or two, but if it goes on for a long time, the treasury will probably be empty.

He can't levy taxes arbitrarily in troubled times to rob the common people of their money.The strong men are killing the enemy, but their emperor is robbing their homes. This is undoubtedly a disappointment for the soldiers and the common people. This move will only make the country lose faster!
Among the courtiers, the loyal ones don't have much money to donate.

As for those who have money, they are all stingy and unwilling to pay for it, and what's more, they are afraid that they will take advantage of the empty treasury to bring him down!

The emperor was frowning, and was thinking about how to get the ministers to donate some money tomorrow, and then let the two big imperial merchants and several wealthy merchants pay for it, when he heard the eunuch come to report, and Lin Yuwen had an audience.

With a stern face, Lin Yuwen knelt down to the emperor, saying that the Lin family was guilty.

"What is the crime of the Lin family?"

"Food protection is not good."

The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise, and did not interrupt Lin Yuwen, letting the latter continue.

When I heard that the Lin family wanted to donate money for crimes and meritorious service, I was overjoyed.

Of course, he also knew why Lin Yuwen had to cover up the donation and insisted on saying it was a crime and a meritorious service. He obviously didn't want him to be suspicious.

He doesn't know how much money the Lin family has, but compared with the Huangfu family, they probably do their part!

He had checked, and the Lin family's business was spread all over the Northern Dynasty. Whether it was a poor family or a royal aristocrat, everyone had food from the Lin family.This business... As the emperor, he was a little jealous and jealous!
However, by donating 10 taels of gold, Lin Yuwen showed his loyalty again. After a while, the eldest princess will recruit Lin Yuwen as her son-in-law, and he will be able to spare the Lin family just once.

The emperor was overjoyed when he got the silver, and immediately gave the Lin family the title as another compliment.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Zi was sent down to buy military and horse supplies. This time, the Turks and Huns must be destroyed!
***
At the end of May, after more than a month.

The Turkic king was very vigorous, and the imperial conquest was frightening.

The Turkic king led the main force to attack the city head-on, and then sent Agudo to the Xiongnu, and joined forces with the Xiongnu to attack the Northern Dynasty from both sides.

Whether it is Agudo or the Turkic king, they are hard nuts to crack.

The ammunition supply of the Shenji Battalion is insufficient, and the general ammunition left cannot last long, and the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time.

Old General Sima was seriously injured and was unable to fight anymore, so he ordered Ah Fei to be the deputy commander, and asked for another commander-in-chief.

Without any delay, Ah Fei led his troops to intercept and kill Agudo, while the old general Sima was wounded and personally led several major generals to defend the city until the Huangfu's family delivered the ammunition and supplies!

Bad news came one after another, but there was also good news.

The young wolf king led an army to attack the Xiongnu, and he had already come to form an alliance with the Northern Dynasties by repairing books!

If they can take down the Xiongnu together with the Wolf King, the strength of the Turks will be greatly reduced, and it will be regarded as the end of their strength!
