The most intuitive change in the house raid was the abundance of the national treasury. Within half a month after Cheng Qian set off with the first batch of supplies, he ordered people to send herbs twice.

But until Cheng Qian came back after sending the military supplies, the news from the Tai Hospital only confirmed that the Southwest Rebellion originated from the plague, the real root cause and the treatment prescription, without any clue.

After Cheng Qian returned to his life, he hardly rested, and quickly prepared the fourth supplies, and wrote to Nangongyu to send them.

Two days after the letter was sent, Lin Daiyu couldn't help asking.

"Can the Nangong family find a solution to the plague? I talked to my third sister before, and all the people she worried about lost weight."

Ever since the news of the plague spread to the capital, Lin Yun had been thinking about it for a long time, but the plague in her time had already been resolved, and it was beyond the scope of common sense.

"It's so easy when the epidemic is severe. Even if the Nangong family sent people there, they couldn't think of a solution in a short time. It would be normal if it took years or even decades. But it shouldn't be difficult to control the plague."

To control the epidemic, the most basic thing is to pay attention to hygiene and do a good job of disinfection. Not to mention Nangong's family, all hospitals know about it, but they don't know how the situation in Southwest China is and whether it can be implemented.

Lin Yun had a headache, who would have known that crossing would encounter this?

Lin Daiyu was worried about Tanchun and Wei Ruolan, as well as the border soldiers, staring at the two flowers and plants on the window sill, thinking of him.

"If it's Nangong Xu, can there be a solution? You said he is a genius doctor, let him go and find out the prescription?"

"He is a miracle doctor, not a god. If it were so easy, there would not be so many people dying of illness throughout the ages."

If this is the case, why not directly refine your crimson pearl celestial grass into an elixir, which can cure all diseases, and you may even become a fairy immediately.Lin Yun couldn't help but hit Nangong Xu with a few words of slander.

A genius from a family of miraculous doctors, this name shouldn't be an ordinary person.But he has a cold temper, and it is not easy to let him go to the Southwest.

unless……

Blinking, looking at Lin Daiyu.

Unless there's something he's interested in.

Lin Daiyu was staring at the ground worryingly, when she noticed that her eyes were on her body, she turned her head and saw Lin Yun sizing her up with strange eyes, she was immediately alert.

"What are you thinking? Don't make up your mind."

"This is a serious idea. It's not impossible to let Nan Gongxu go to the southwest. I just pity you."

"I?"

Looking at each other, Lin Daiyu was even more puzzled, pointed at herself with a finger, glanced nervously, and muttered in a low voice.

"What does it have to do with me, that a major event in the world requires my girl to sacrifice?"

Lin Yunshen probed over mysteriously.

"Nangong Xu is most curious about the herbs you raise. Last time you refused to help him raise bugs to drive him away. If you agree..."

"No!"

Thinking of those densely packed squirming insects, Lin Daiyu counted down her hairs, she didn't see it but she seemed to recall fear and nausea, she stood up and avoided it.

"They Nangong's family are all doctors. If you can't grow herbs properly, what kind of bugs do you need?"

"It's really not his fault, not to mention cicadas shedding snake skin, spiders can be used as medicine."

Before Lin Yun finished speaking, Lin Daiyu turned around and ran out, as if being chased by something behind her.

Zi Ling had no choice but to persuade by tidying up the tea cups on the table.

"The second girl is timid, and she is especially afraid of the shadows of insects and beasts. Don't scare her with these words. Dozens of imperial doctors from the imperial hospital have passed by. Could it be that they still can't solve the plague?"

Really can't solve it.

Lin Yun murmured silently in his heart, but he couldn't explain it to them, so he could only put his hope in Nangong's house.

Compared with the southwest, the capital is not as stable.The method to cure the plague has not been researched, so the old method can only be used. In addition to heavy casualties, it will also consume a lot of time and energy, as well as money.

Even the Ninth Five-Year Master has to worry about money.

Almost all the stubborn old Xun families have been investigated, and the rest are either honest or willing to join the new emperor. If they are used, it will inevitably chill people's hearts.Excessive taxation is not the best policy, nor is it a long-term solution. The rest is selling officials.

Selling officials and honoring titles has existed since ancient times, and even became one of the main sources of fiscal revenue during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.Under the suggestion of the emperor, Lin Ruhai selected a batch of small officials.

Lin Yun caught a glimpse of Lin Ruhai working by chance, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

"I thought buying an official was a secret deal, but it turned out to be on the bright side."

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish. How can everything in the court be as simple as you think? Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise, this event is held at an extraordinary time, and the official positions given are all below the sixth rank."

The so-called complexity of the court is not just about intrigue, but also many seemingly unreasonable but necessary rules.

Lin Ruhai closed the document and got up, took the ginseng soup from Lin Yun's hand, and pushed her out.

"The weather is getting hotter, have all the gauze tents in the house been changed? And Mrs. Zhu and Bingjian have been cleaned up? Hurry up and get ready, don't bother me."

It's fine for him to deal with these messy things. If he can do what he wants, I only hope that the two daughters will never understand the twists and turns.

Lin Yun curled his lips when he was locked outside the door.

"If you don't look at it, don't look at it."

Muttering twice, go back and prepare for the scorching summer.

The list of official positions was born from Lin Ruhai's hands, approved by the Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials, and then handed over to the Ministry of Households, and all the money from selling the officials went to the national treasury.

According to the original procedure, this should be the case, but the news has been released for half a month, and a lot of official positions have been sold. I don’t know where there is a saying that officials can also be bought in the Inspector’s Office.

Gossip and gossip are nonsense, just listen to it, but there are so many people talking about it, and someone actually came to Lin's house to ask.

"What are you talking about, buying an official in our house?"

Lin Yun nearly coughed up the tea, and Lin Daiyu flung her handkerchief in disgust to hide away.

On the opposite side, Tanchun was full of doubts.

"I didn't know until Ping'er said it, but you didn't know it either. Such a bastard word can be spread, so it can be seen that there are pushers behind it."

Listening to her explanation, it turns out that Ping'er's husband is from a farming and studying family and is eligible to buy an official.When he heard the news, he wanted to buy a small official, but after inquiring, he would say everything, and it was Ping'er who felt something was wrong, so he went to the Weifu to inquire.

Lin Daiyu turned her head.

"Since you can only buy an official from a farming and studying family, how can Lai Shangrong buy it with the help of Jia's relationship? There must be something hidden in it."

Selling officials is to ease the tension in the treasury, not to make a mess.If it is really chaotic, it will definitely attract the emperor's attention.

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, the two sisters couldn't wait to tell him the news. Unexpectedly, he seemed to know it a long time ago and didn't take it seriously.

"True or false, they come and go back if they can't buy it, so don't worry about it."

Being so relaxed and casual not only did not make Lin Yun let go of his guard, but even made him more nervous.

Lin Daiyu leaned over, covered her face with her palms and whispered.

"Why do I feel that father has something to hide from us?"

"I feel so too."

The two looked at each other and decided to wait and see what happened.

However, the accident does not necessarily happen in the court, but may also happen outside.Shi Xiangyun's husband's family, the Liu family, sent invitations to the Lin sisters for a banquet.

It turned out that Shi Xiangyun gave birth to a baby girl prematurely, and the Liu family invited not only their own relatives, but also those of the Shi family as well.

See please paste warm and attentive, it is not difficult to guess that he is trying to curry favor.

"The Merchants' House, it's really brave to send an invitation to the Lin family. I'm afraid the third sister also has a copy?"

Pinching the invitation card with two fingers, Lin Yun smiled sarcastically.

The Shi family and the Lin family are not relatives, and Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu's blood relationship is even more diluted, so they can all get together, and they are really self-motivated.

Lin Daiyu didn't even read the invitation.

"I don't know how to pass it on outside. Isn't it to cause trouble for my father? Send someone to give gifts."

"This statement is wrong. I just want to go there with gongs and drums."

"what?"

Thinking she heard it wrong, Lin Daiyu looked up in surprise, only to see Lin Yun smiling kindly and brilliantly.

"The little girl is the most delicate, can you think about what gift to give? You talked about it last year, and now that you are finally born, don't be stingy."

After speaking, he turned around and prepared a gift.

Turning faces is faster than turning pages, which made Lin Daiyu frowned and became more and more confused.

In Prince Zhongshun's mansion, every move of the Lin family was watched.

"The family of merchants is not included in the list of buyers. This Liu family is considered smart if they can think of going the way of Lin Ruhai."

After drinking a glass of wine, Prince Zhongshun proudly stroked his beard.

Qiguan poured the wine sideways, and asked carefully to see his face.

"My lord, what is the relationship between the Liu family and the Lin family? I heard that Lin Ruhai is a second-rank official, so how did you get involved in the matter of buying and selling officials?"

As the most favored actor in Zhongshun Palace, Qiguan can say a few words.Prince Zhongshun was in a good mood and didn't mind answering questions for him.

"Of course that old fox Lin Ruhai won't be involved, but how can he not be involved if he says that he won't be involved? After passing by his hand, who would believe that he didn't keep anything?"

Feeling more complacent, Prince Zhongshun took another drink.

Qiguan hurriedly poured out, flattering in his mouth.

"My lord is wise, but the little one can't understand this, so it's not as good as my lord."

"Haha, although I don't deal with Lin Ruhai, it's not easy to take him down with this matter. This time, we'll deal with the one surnamed Chen first, and the one surnamed Lin next time!"

Drank the wine in the glass again, with such arrogance, it was actually a marriage proposal to celebrate.

Qiguan was shocked, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, he just persuaded him to drink more, trying to get some useful words out of it.

Soon they went to Liu's house for a full moon wine, Lin Yun and Lin Daiyu went to the appointment as scheduled, and they saw Wei's carriage again in front of the door.

"Look, what did I say?"

With a tut, Lin Yun went in with a smile.

Disgust flashed in Lin Daiyu's eyes. Thinking of Shi Xiangyun, she suppressed her displeasure and covered her face with a fan.

Although the Liu family is a merchant, they are rich merchants, and their house is no worse than that of Lin's house.The two of them followed the guiding maid through the corridor to the backyard, making seven or eight turns along the way.

"Hey, it's the girl from the Lin family who is here, please hurry up."

I don't know where to turn, a middle-aged woman walked up to her, she said she was going to rescue Lin Yun, but Qing Mei scolded her.

"who?"

The woman was stunned, as if she had just seen the battle of a dozen girls, flinched a few times and soon smiled again, but did not dare to continue presumptuously.

"The two girls came to the humble house, and they are really full of splendor. The banquet is at the back, please come with me."

It looks like they are already familiar with each other.

Lin Yun shook her fan cozily and looked at her with a smile.

"No need, we sisters don't eat outside, today we are here to see Sister Yun. It's hard for her to have children at such a young age, but inside?"

He only asked about Shi Xiangyun, without mentioning the Liu family.

The woman's smile stiffened a little, but she still held on.

"It's really hard work for my siblings to give birth to their daughter, but she is resting, why don't the two girls go to have tea with me first, and then go to see her later."

Lin Daiyu is sensitive and thoughtful, and is best at perceiving the emotions of others.Seeing her talking about him from left to right, she immediately turned cold.

"We're here for Sister Yun, so why can't we watch it? Since that's the case, let's leave a gift for her to recuperate."
