"Dad, what happened?"
"Why are you so flustered?"
Lin Jiang sat down weakly.
"It's over, we're all finished!"
"Our Lin family is going bankrupt!"
"All our family assets will be lost!"
"What?!"
Lin's mother was suddenly shocked.
She stood up in surprise.
Grabbing Lin Jiang's collar tightly.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Explain yourself!"
Lin Jiang finally came to his senses and said in a trembling voice, "The locust plague in Jingyang has alarmed the imperial court. His Majesty has ordered Ning Que to be responsible for disaster relief. At the same time, he will spare no expense to provide relief to the victims. Ning Que has chosen to open its warehouses to help the people and stabilize prices. He has already allocated over 100,000 dan of grain, and the three guards of the capital are responsible for escorting it. The price of grain in Jingyang has plummeted, and grain merchants have begun selling off. Now there is only a hundred coins for a dan of rice, and the price will drop even more once the grain arrives!"
"How...is this possible?"
“Everyone outside the city knows!”
"The carts are full of food!"
There are several granaries in Chang'an.
A huge amount of food was stored.
But it has rarely been used in recent years.
After all, the border is unstable and there is no guarantee that there will be no war.
If Dafeng wants to send troops, it must collect food.
Lin Xianhong just felt dizzy.
The Gu family sold them rice for three hundred coins.
As long as it is transported to Jingyang, you can earn at least 200 coins.
Now, the grain price in Jingyang has plummeted!
Even Chang'an surrendered.
If they follow suit and sell, they will lose money!
One stone of rice will cost you two hundred coins!
I’m afraid all the family assets will be emptied!
"You bitch!"
"It's all your fault!"
Lin's mother was extremely angry.
He slapped Lin Xianhong hard in the face.
Lin Xianhong covered his face and took several steps back.
"What are you doing?"
"All the money I've saved over the years is gone."
"Are we all going to starve from now on?"
"It's all this bitch's fault for listening to the Gu family!"
Lin's mother was roaring hysterically.
She is a well-known money-loving Pixiu.
Even if she makes less money, she feels like she is losing money.
“That’s enough!”
Lin Jiang couldn't help but roar.
He grabbed Lin's mother tightly.
"This matter has nothing to do with the Gu family."
"It has nothing to do with Xianhong!"
"Who knew His Majesty would take it so seriously?"
"They even went so far as to mobilize the granary in Chang'an!"
Lin Jiang was also helpless.
Who could have thought of this?
In the past, when disasters occurred, food was mobilized from other places.
It will take at least several months to go back and forth.
But now we can directly open the Chang'an granary!
Lin Jiang sighed, "Forget it. Now I can only sell the grain as soon as possible to recover some of the losses. The later I sell it, the lower the price will be."
"Dad, I'm sorry..."
Lin Xianhong gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
In fact, she didn't want to agree at first.
After all, this is a disguised way of profiting from the national disaster.
But Lin Jiang agreed immediately.
After all, if they don't make money, others will.
"It's not your fault."
"Then let me ask you, what about Qinghuan's dowry?"
"Don't worry." Lin Qinghuan didn't care, and said contemptuously: "That idiot Ning Que is just putting on an act, trying to force Second Sister to go back and admit her mistakes. I dare say that in a few days, when he has exhausted all his tricks, he will naturally come and beg for mercy."
"It's the same without him."
Lin Xianhong remained very persistent.
She didn't want to owe Ning Que anything.
Instead, he was thinking about getting divorced from Ning Que.
After all, Gu Yuanke had already promised her.
When he is fully recovered, he will marry her.
As for divorce?
Does Ning Que have the qualifications?
The more Ning Que used these methods, the more disgusted she became.
"The Queen Mother often rewards me."
"And the Gu family will also help."
"Yes, yes, that's what Xianhong said!"
Lin Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This time I really lost a lot of money.
But now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do.
After all, it was the emperor who issued the decree himself.
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all blessings from heaven...
"Master of the house, master of the house..."
"People from Prince Ning's Mansion are here again!"
"Um?"
Lin Jiang was stunned.
Why are you here again?
"Look, this must be an admission of wrongdoing."
"Probably not."
Lin Qinghuan was completely terrified and shook her head, saying, "I think he's here to pick a fight on purpose, hoping to humiliate us and threaten my second sister. He was able to frame our Lin family back then, so he's definitely trying to do the same to us now."
"Not really?"
Lin Jiang frowned.
If they continue to make trouble, it will bring shame to the Ning Palace.
Divorce calmly and quickly.
It would be better to marry Lin Xianhong to Gu Yuan.
The Gu family is now at its peak!
Gu Mingzhi, the current head of the family!
He served as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture and held the first rank.
The eldest son, Gu Yuan, was newly appointed as a first-rank general!
In addition, they were also on good terms with the King of Qi.
And the western frontier is not peaceful.
Xiliang is eager to try.
I will definitely go again after Gu Yuan recovers from his injury.
Gain some more experience and earn some military merits.
Within five years, you will be able to be a Duke!
What about Ning Que?
He just knows some strange tricks.
It’s difficult to inherit the title of king!
After all, Emperor Feng is clearly suppressing...
This story is also circulated among the people.
The old Prince Ning was extremely powerful and his achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor.
He holds great military power and can even be regent!
Such people must naturally be eliminated.
…
The gate of the Lin Mansion opened.
Lin Jiang and others walked out slowly.
The first person who came into view was Uncle Fu.
