Lin Wanyi ordered the imperial chef to cook the two largest ones.

Fortunately, the crabs have been processed after being served, so they are not so scary when served.

And it tasted so delicious that Qi Mingyue’s eyes were filled with tears.

But in Lin Wanyi's opinion, the crabs were much thinner than the crabs she ate on the island before.

Maybe this thing can't be kept for a long time.

After dinner, Dongfang Yanran left with her two daughters-in-law. They went home to work on donating money.

Lin Wanyi got up and went to Cining Palace to greet the Empress Dowager and mentioned the donation.

The Empress Dowager said: "This is the right thing to do. After all, continuous wars waste people and money. Our royal family should set an example. Back to the Ai family and asked Qiulan to go to the Cining Palace warehouse to get some gold and silver and send them to Kunning Palace. "

Lin Wanyi said quickly: "Royal Grandma, you don't need to take money. I can find a way from other places. Moreover, I also call on all the distinguished families in the capital to support this matter."

The Queen Mother: "Since all the distinguished families in the capital are participating, the Ai family cannot lag behind. Don't worry, little girl Wan, the Ai family still has money to play leaf cards."

Since the old lady said so, Lin Wanyi stopped refusing.

The Empress Dowager also said: "But for this important matter of raising money, you have to find a reliable person to supervise the matter and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Lin Wanyi: "Well, I decided to let Ji Chengfeng, the Minister of Revenue, supervise this matter. He was promoted by His Majesty. He is very loyal and reliable, and he does things properly."

Seeing that she had already made detailed arrangements, the Empress Dowager nodded and let her handle the matter.

Lin Wanyi didn't just say it, he announced Ji Chengfeng the next day.

Ji Chengfeng quickly changed into his official uniform and went to court.

"Greetings to your Majesty, why don't you call me here?"

"I announce that you are here to talk about fundraising."

Lin Wanyi explained her idea carefully and said that she would take the lead.

After hearing this, Ji Chengfeng's eyes instantly brightened, "My Lady, this is a great thing! Not long ago, Mr. Gu, the Minister of War, also mentioned this time to his subordinates. Although the treasury of Dazhou is not empty now, if there is any natural disaster or man-made disaster , a large amount of silver may be spent from the treasury. If we can raise some donations this time, it should be the icing on the cake for this battle in Xiliang."

Lin Wanyi nodded: "Then Mr. Lao Ji will supervise this matter."

Ji Chengfeng cupped his hands and said, "I have no obligation to refuse!"

This matter was implemented very quickly. After all, the imperial palace took the lead, and the Rongcheng Prince's Palace, the Princess's Palace, and the Lu family responded. There were also some people who closed the door and cursed a few times, but turned around and took out some silver coins. .

The money was raised very quickly, and some of them wanted to make some small moves, but Ji Chengfeng discovered and dealt with them in time.

Lin Wanyi visited her mother Dongfang Yanran in private again.

"Mother, there may be many wounded in this battle. I was wondering if I could trouble you to write a letter to my grandfather and ask Yaogu to send some medicinal materials to the Zhou army. Don't worry, I have asked Ji Chengfeng to prepare the money. , we will send someone to escort us immediately.”

In addition to food, the most important thing in fighting a war is various medicinal materials.

The soldiers and generals were injured, but there was no time to delay.

Dongfang Yanran said: "What kind of money are you talking about? When you lost it before, I wrote a letter to your grandfather and asked him to help find you. Later, your third brother set off to adjust the Rongcheng army. We knew that it must be very difficult. There will probably be another war, so I have already asked Yaogu to prepare the medicinal materials. By this time, they should all be sent to the front line."

"Really? Mother, thank you so much!"

Dongfang Yanran patted her hand and said softly: "Huanwen, don't be so rude to us. We have said a long time ago that Prince Rongcheng's Palace is your strongest support. In the future, we will also support Xiaoheng. , who will secure his position as the crown prince."

Lin Wan nodded emotionally.

Although the banquet was kind to her, she would not marry another woman, and even established Xiao Heng as the crown prince, giving her a complete sense of security.

But the strong support from her mother's clan was the anchor in Lin Wanyi's heart, making her feel warm.

Because some troops need to be dispatched to escort food and silver to the front line.

At the same time, some imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital also wanted to accompany him, and among them, Lin Huaian signed up.

Lin Yuzhi originally wanted to go, but he was too old and was rejected as the first one.

And Mrs. Lin was reluctant to let her eldest son go.

After all, the younger son has gone to the front line with the army.

It was Old Mrs. Lin who made the final decision: "Go to Huai'an, you are still young and need experience. And this is a matter of Zhou Dynasty, everyone is responsible. As for the family, you don't have to worry about it."

Although the remaining ones are old and young, they are still very useful.

Not to mention, now that the Queen is protecting the Lin family, how can ordinary people dare to bully the Lin family?

In this way, the Lin family took the lead and organized a group of imperial doctors to accompany the army and go to the front line to provide support. Lin Wanyi was also very moved. Before these people set off, Lin Wanyi made a special explanation to ensure that everyone Pay more attention to your body.

Lin Huaian took the lead, bowed his hands to Lin Wanyi and said, "I will do my best to live up to your high expectations!"

Lin Wanyi's eyes turned red and she nodded.

This war, it seems, started because of her kidnapping.

But now, the entire Zhou Dynasty has been mobilized, but no one has jumped out to say that it is all her fault for her beauty.

Lin Wanyi was very moved and excited by the feeling of being united across the country!

But the excitement was not over yet.

Confucian businessmen throughout the capital, under the leadership of the Liu family, donated a total of 200,000 taels of silver, which were brought into the palace by Mrs. Liu Shen Jingrou and presented to the Queen, Lin Wanyi.

Lin Wanyi quickly helped Shen Jingrou, "Jingrou, you actually donated so much?"

Shen Jingrou is now the head matron of the Liu family. Her whole temperament has undergone tremendous changes. She is far different from the timid concubine of the Shen family back then.

She smiled slightly and said: "This is what we merchants should do, and only when Dazhou is completely settled can we have a better business environment. However, this donation, the Queen, we still have something to ask for." .”

Lin Wanyi: "What's the matter?"

Shen Jingrou: "After Xiliang is defeated, plus the previous Longxi, and the remaining allies such as Miao Jiang Hua Shi Guo, can we completely let go and do business freely?"

In the past, there were barriers in various countries, which made it difficult for businessmen like them to move forward. They would also be blocked in some places, which was always very unsmooth.

Occasionally, bandits would rob goods, but no one would care.

With all kinds of things, doing business is not easy.

After finishing speaking, she saw that Lin Wanyi didn't speak immediately, so she quickly said: "If it's troublesome, you can take it easy or discuss it later. Women of the people do not use donations in exchange. Don't think too much about it, Madam!"
