The Sky Mirror is Bai Wengs treasure, this thing is very common in the upper realm, its biggest function is defense, it is said that the defensive effect is excellent.

  Of course, for Lin Jiang and Lin Qingyan who knew nothing about the upper bound, the most magical function of this thing was its reasoning ability. Both of them agreed that with this thing in hand, they would be invincible in the world.

  Because the results it deduces are infinitely close to the future, more accurate than the legendary God of Calculation.

  Lin Qingwan thought that if Bai Weng was willing to give her this thing, she felt that raising Yu Bin and protecting the Lin family were all trivial matters.

  Of course, this is impossible.

  There are two reasons.

  One, the Sky Mirror isnt something she can use just because she wants to. Not even Lin Jiang, the reincarnation of a celestial being, could use it. Because he didnt have any magical powers, he couldnt activate it, and everything had to rely on Bai Weng.

  In an instant, the future can change in a blink of an eye. She hadnt seen the fortune-telling mirrors prediction before, but after seeing it, due to this variable, it changed into another one. Of course, there are big changes and small ones, while some remain forever unchanged.

  But the impact was on him, and she was among them, so she naturally suffered from the changing tides.

  It can be said that she has changed and will continue to change in the future. Perhaps it wont be much, but the impact will slowly accumulate over time.

  The world under the heavenly way is constantly changing, and the process and results of the Celestial Mirrors deductions will also change continuously.

  So whether she looks or not doesnt make a big difference, because she has looked, and that future variable has increased by one, so the future has changed again.

  Heaven will not allow this group of people to be clever.

  So as not to make the future more complicated, Lin Jiang did not let her see the Sky Mirror, and would not even mention the things inferred from the Sky Mirror to her explicitly. He could only vaguely remind her, striving to minimize changes to the future, so that she could make some preparations based on his reminders.

  They have to avoid heavenly way, and as for his reminder, it depends on their tacit understanding how much she can comprehend.

  Lin Jiang gathered his thoughts and handed her the imperial edict he had just received, in which the Emperor demanded that he provide sufficient military pay and fodder for the southwestern army.

  Lets not mention military pay, where can he get the grain and fodder? At this time, it is just when the old stock of grain is exhausted and the new crop is not yet ripe. The 1.2 million troops in southwest China, and the Jiangnan region has to bear two-thirds of the burden.

  It is true that Jiangnan is a major grain-producing area, but taking out so much grain at the junction of spring and summer is no different from ascending to heaven.

  But with great difficulty, he managed to complete it anyway.

  The "first life" deduced by the Celestial Mirror, he finally prepared food and grass, but also offended many people, and even under the promotion of those with ulterior motives, he became a corrupt official who exploited the common people. The Lin familys reputation plummeted to the point where after his death, the property he left for his daughter was seized, and his daughter was calculated to death without anyone speaking up for her justice.

  After seeing the result of "the first world", he began to prepare, at that time he was planning to divide his family property into two parts, one for the family and one for the court, only leaving Lins books, collections and several fields and shops as dowry.

  If he had half of that legacy, the military taxes imposed on the people of Jiangnan would be less, and the reputation of the Lin family would not be too bad.

  Moreover, he set an example, thinking that the imperial court would surely take notice of his merits and bestow a favor on his daughter.

  He had already written the will and the letter, because he was holding onto a glimmer of hope. After finishing these two things, he asked Bai Weng to use the Celestial Mirror to deduce again. Who knew that although the process of deduction was different, in the end his daughter still died a miserable death.

  It is still because of the Lin familys property. This time, the military grain collection left behind sequelae.

  Lin Jiang was so angry that he tore up the will and the deed, to the point where he decided to completely abandon the Lin familys property, except for leaving some mementos of him and his wife to Yu Bin, and handing over the rest to the imperial court.

  However...

  The result deduced from the Celestial Mirror is still extremely bad, and the two lives he arranged are not even comparable to his first life.

  At least in the first two years of their marriage, they got along quite well.

  So Lin Jiang gave up on the arrangements and let Bai Weng calculate the birth dates of his daughter and the Lin family before going to find Lin Qingyuan, rather than continuing to make arrangements in vain.

  In Bai Wengs words, there is someone who is using him to plot against the Lin family and their daughter. The more he participates, the more miserable his daughter will be, and the faster the Lin family will decline.

  No matter which dynasty, the war between Liang and Chu was a major event, and the consequences of this incident will continue to affect Yubin.

  So they couldnt get around this matter, Lin Jiang didnt dare to monopolize it again, and naturally he could only ask for help from Lin Qingyuan. "What do you think we should do about the military rations? How do you plan to deal with the Lin familys property?"

  Lin Qingwan blinked her eyes, she didnt know the three endings calculated by the Heaven Mirror, but also knew that with so many properties of the Lin family, she and Lin Yubin couldnt keep them safe.

  This body is only fifteen years old, and Lin Yuhong is only eleven years old. How can two little girls keep so much property?

  But Lin Jiang obviously didnt have that much time to let her grow slowly, in this era where the clans power can even surpass the law, the pressure from the clan alone was already unbearable for them.

  Leave the clan?

  Dont joke around. In a chaotic world where battles are fought from time to time, or even in a peaceful and prosperous era, without the protection of their clan, these two women might not even be able to keep their lives.

  At a time when the moon is dark and the wind is strong, a group of evil people rushed in and took them away. They can run to all corners of the earth, who will still open their eyes for them?

  So clans, even if their interests are relative in terms of property, they cannot make the relationship too stiff, because they still need to rely on the clan.

  But thats not enough, the clan must also rely on these two women, so that the clan will listen to them and respect them.

  Lin Qingwan walked in place for three circles and asked: "Can the clans sacrificial field be handed over to me?"

  "This is impossible, after I die, the ritual fields of our clan will definitely be handed over to the new head of the clan."

  "Does this house have its own ancestral temple?"

  Lin Jiang was silent for a moment, "Ill send someone to Suzhou tomorrow to buy it."

  The number of sacrificial fields is limited, because the sacrificial fields are not included in the confiscation, which means that one day they will be exempt from punishment and their property will be spared.

  Of course, the main function of the sacrificial field is still to produce sacrifices for ancestors, help the poor and widowed in the family, support family education, encourage clan members to study, etc.

  Because there was no son, Lin Jiang has been adding ritual fields every year to bless the family and support the family school. Now the ritual fields of the Lin family have reached the upper limit.

  Each household can also set up its own sacrificial fields, but the courts requirements are quite strict. Unfortunately, Lin Jiang is not only a governor but also a second-grade inspector, and he just stepped on that line.

  "I have this land deed in my hand, and every year I allocate a portion of the income to support family education and the widows and orphans in our clan. What do you think is the probability that they will be grateful?"

  "Be careful with them, they are growing up." Thinking of the consequences of dividing his property among his relatives in "Second Life", Lin Jiangs face didnt look good.

  Lin Qingyan solemnly said: "A debt of gratitude for a scoop of rice, a feud over a scoop of rice, I will strive to grasp this degree."

  "As for the military rations, you can requisition them as you see fit. As for the Lin familys wealth, Ill think about it some more." Lin Qingwen had been observing his expression and probably guessed that the result of Lin Jiangs decision was not good, so he washed his hands of the matter.

  So she didnt force him to give his opinion on handling the property anymore.

  Lin Qingwans math has always been good, and when she went to college, she was keen on taking exams, so she also took the accounting professional qualification certificate. She didnt learn anything in-depth, but she learned all the basics.

  At first, she was confused when looking at the account book and made slow progress, but after getting familiar with it, she slowly replaced the account book with her own understandable form, making it much easier to look at.

  Moreover, there were several detailed maps of various places in Jiangnan in Linjiangs study. She asked Linjiang to integrate these maps into two identical large maps.

  One marked with the location, scale, number of people and value of the tea garden in Chitianzhuang, and the other marked with the location, business projects and value of the store.

  In this way, the Lin familys industry can be seen at a glance.

  Holding the two maps filled with red circles and annotations, Lin Qingyan couldnt help but sigh at the vast wealth of the Lin family. No wonder that even after Lin Jiang handed over all his assets, there were still people who suspected him of secretly hiding some wealth for Lin Yuhong.

  The Lin family is really too wealthy!

  Lin Jiang showed Lin Qingwen the genealogy of the Lin family, and Lin Qingwen knew how the Lin family had been remembered by looking at the detailed records in the genealogy.

  According to the genealogy, Lins ancestors originated from Bi Gan. After Bi Gans death, his wife Yao Shi escaped to the area of Weihui and Qixian in Henan Province, where she gave birth to a son. After King Wu of Zhou defeated the Shang Dynasty, he granted the surname Lin.

  During numerous wars and divisions, in the Two Jins period, a branch of the Lin family followed the imperial court southward and settled in Suzhou, which is the origin of the Suzhou Lin family.

  The Lin family was also a scholar-official clan during the Two Jins, but its reputation was not prominent. Although few of its descendants held office, their assets continued to accumulate and their offspring were numerous.

  By the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Lin family had already gained a great reputation in the Jiangnan region, and was particularly prominent in Suzhou.

  But with the outbreak of war, the whole world was plunged into chaos, and the Lin family could not escape this fate. For nearly two hundred years, the Lin family has been on the verge of fragmentation due to turmoil.

  In order to survive and preserve the family line, the Lin family had branched out into several branches, with only the main branch remaining in Suzhou to guard the ancestral temple.

  When Lin Jiangs great-grandfather, Lin Li, was in power, the war had been going on for nearly two hundred years, and the Lin clan had also suffered heavy losses. With no other choice, Lin Li chose to support one person, hoping to end the war. That person was Shi Qian, the founding emperor of Da Liang. Unfortunately, just as Da Liang was established, Lin Li died in battle.

  Lin Jiangs grandfather Lin Gong inherited his fathers will, continued to serve the Shi family, and was even more powerful than his father. He was a Confucian general of his generation, ranked among the top three officials, and drove the Liao army south across the Yellow River.

  To know that at that time the Liao army had gone south all the way through the capital, trapping the emperor and a group of ministers in the secondary capital Yangzhou.

  The country, which had just been established for two generations, was on the verge of being destroyed, but fortunately Lin Yu and other great generals such as Shang Shi, Lu Shi, and Cui Shi came to its aid with their troops. At that time, the four armies took Lins as the most respected.

  Lin Ying led his troops to drive the Liao people north, without considering the rear at all. He thought that the imperial court would take good care of Lins family members, after all, he still held the command of 200,000 troops and the four routes.
