The Jiang family and the Shen family also have some business dealings.
However, the Shen family was very unlucky. When the power was changing in Ganzhou, they stood on the wrong side and were immediately punished.
"When the time comes, you can secretly buy out his family and settle them down." Tu Yufan said.
Jiang Zhan nodded.
The days passed by in a dull manner like this, and finally it was time to quell the Rebellion in the Three Prefectures. Feudal lords and warlords in various places revolted, and the court was short of manpower, so it had to carry out forced conscription across the country.
"Zhan'er, don't worry. Although the imperial court forced you to join the army, there is still room for reversal. It just requires more money."
Many policies can only oppress ordinary people who are poor and powerless.
Jiang Zhan said, "Father, I want to join the army."
"Why is that?"
Tu Yufan thought that in the original plot, the male student joined the army because he had no choice, but now that he has a chance to escape, he is unwilling to do so.
"Back then, the Shen family had no power, but was extremely wealthy. He fawned on officials, but still could not control his own destiny. I don't want to end up like this. Besides, my father taught me martial arts since I was a child. I think I'm pretty good at it, so why not fight on the battlefield once?"
Tu Yufan thought a lot about the Shen family. However, if merchants in the past dynasties could make enough contributions, or help the prince ascend the throne, there is also the possibility that they would be promoted to officials and nobles. Before, Tu Yufan thought about telling Jiang Zhan about his life experience in the future and see what choice he would make before making plans. Since he did not want to choose to join the army, it seemed that he had to tell him about his life experience in advance.
"I respect your choice, but one person's strength cannot turn the tide and reverse the situation. Don't try to be brave."
"Listen to my father's teachings." Jiang Zhan said respectfully.
Tu Yufan dismissed the servants and said directly: "I have something to tell you about your life experience. When I adopted you, you had no identity proof on you. However, the cloth you were wrapped in was made of Sujin, which is loved by the nobles in the capital. Perhaps your relatives are in the capital. If you have the ability, you can try to find them."
"To me, you are my father." Jiang Zhan frowned and said.
Tu Yufan chuckled and patted his hands: "Okay, now that it's decided, I'll ask Aunt Zhang to clean up your mess when the time comes. Be careful."
The next day, Liu Xiaolan limped over and cried, "Yufan, have you heard about the conscription? The battlefield is blind. How will I live if something happens to my son? We are relatives after all. You must help your sister-in-law."
"The imperial court has issued an order, there is no room for reversal, and there is nothing I can do."
Liu Xiaolan knelt down and said, "Jiang Miao must have a way. Her husband is the county magistrate, and you have so much money. Can't you help your nephew? Just treat it as a plea from your sister-in-law."
She spoke with tears and snot, but Tu Yufan remained expressionless. After the family split up, a lot of fertile fields were flooded due to rising water, and the family was in a very difficult situation for a while. Li Jiangmiao was also helpless because Liu Hua was taking part in the imperial examination and all the family's money was invested in it. He tried to borrow money from his uncle, who still had some extra money at home, but was beaten out by Liu Xiaolan and almost died.
Fortunately, the owner of the restaurant was willing to take Yuan Yu in.
What Tu Yufan hated the most was not Liu Xiaolan, but his elder brother who pretended to be a good guy. If someone said that Liu Xiaolan did all those things by herself, Tu Yufan would not believe it. It was the elder brother who hid in the back and gave the orders, letting Liu Xiaolan do the evil things and completely exonerating himself from the blame.
"My brother-in-law is in a position where everyone is watching his every move. He must not do anything that goes against the court's policies."
Liu Xiaolan said angrily: "Didn't Jiang Zhan avoid joining the army?"
"I have already reported Jiang Zhan's name."
"You actually let your son join the army!!" Liu Xiaolan stared at Tu Yufan in disbelief: "You are so cruel." Even his son wanted to join the army, no matter what she said, it would be useless, and she could only return home in disappointment.
Tu Yufan rubbed his brows. He would feel more at ease if Jiang Zhan had the aura of a man and had been carefully educated by him for more than ten years.
