Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

When passing by the canteen, Lin Yinan slipped in, and took out a few cakes and a pot of porridge with Yu Niang.

After returning to the county government office, a secret guard stepped forward to pull the horse down, and another secret guard went to inform Yun Mo and others.

As soon as he entered the meeting hall, Yun Xiaobei took out a booklet about the situation in Nanzhou Prefecture during this period from his arms and handed it to Lin Yinan, "Third Madam, this is what Fourth Brother collected, please take a look!"

Lin Yinan handed the pancakes and porridge to Yun Xiaobei, "They will be here soon, you should eat first, have something hot."

"Thank you ma'am!"

Yun Xiaobei took the porridge, sat on the chair and started eating it.

Lin Yinan opened the booklet, which recorded some recent events that had happened in various aristocratic families.

He automatically ignored the fact that Yu Chaohui had a broken leg due to his gambling addiction. Since they and several other families chose to stay in Nanzhou Prefecture, Lin Yinan didn't care whether he lived or died.

When she saw that Yu Xunmei was willing to destroy her own brother in order to seize power, and committed incest with her half brother, she frowned slightly. This woman would do anything to achieve her goals, and she would even kill her own brother who loved her so much.

It seems that I underestimated her at the beginning, thinking that she was just a little willful and capricious, but I didn't expect that she was actually a ruthless person.

Before she finished reading, Yun Er strode into the conference room.

Lin Yinan looked at him suspiciously. Two days ago, when they were having dinner, he looked so injured that he could hardly walk and had to rely on Yunying for support. Is he fully recovered now?

"Xiaobei, what happened in Nanzhou Prefecture?" Yun Eryi came in and asked impatiently.

Yun Xiaobei swallowed the biscuit in his mouth and said, "The matter of Xihe County has been exposed."

Yun Er frowned tightly and murmured, "Exposed?"

Lin Yinan handed him the booklet in his hand and said, "Take a look at this."

After a while, Lin Yiheng, Pan Qingfeng, Liang Wen and others arrived. They took turns reading the information in their hands and communicated in low voices.

Now the only one missing is Yun Mo, who is leading the troops in training in the mountains.

In ancient times, there were no modern communication facilities like mobile phones, and information transmission faced great difficulties. It would take some time for Yun Mo to come back.

A quarter of an hour later, Yun Mo came hurriedly.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, he quickly finished reading the booklet in his hand.

Yun Mo's eyebrows were almost twisted together, his expression was solemn, and his eyes gradually became sharp.

"This cunning Japanese! He managed to escape and survive when the ship sank in the sea."

Everyone knows that Yunye sank a Japanese ship years ago.

Lin Yinan looked calm and composed, looking at him with cold eyes, "We must respond as soon as possible and prepare in advance."

After putting away the booklet that Yun Xiaobei brought back, Yun Mo slowly said, "I want to transfer Yun San and Yun Qi back from the salt field. Who do you think would be the most suitable person to take over?"

The salt field is hidden and cannot be easily found, and the waterway in Cangwu County has been opened, so Yun San and Yun Qi can do little there.

Lin Yinan thought for a moment and said, "The salt field is already on track. It's not advisable to let too many people know about that place for the time being. Let Yun San promote a few capable secret guards to take over."

Because Yunye was not there, many things could not be arranged in time, so Yunmo asked someone to rush to Xihe to ask Yunye or Yunyi to come back.

Late that night, Yun San and Yun Qi returned to Longtan County.

In just one day, Lian Yunye rushed back, leaving Yunyi stationed in Xihe County.

The core members of Longtan gathered in the meeting room again.

The secret guard came forward and hung a map of the south on the wall of the conference room. Liang Wen, Pan Qingfeng and others saw it for the first time.

The Yun family's secret guards were a very mysterious existence to them. They were usually scattered in various corners, and they didn't know what these secret guards were specifically responsible for. They were busy coming in and out every day, and they were only seen occasionally when they were having meals in the cafeteria.

Yun Ye stood in front of the map, cleared his throat and said, "If the Yu family wants to conduct a thorough investigation, they will definitely start from two places, one is Xihe and the other is Longtan."

Xihe is still garrisoned by him and Yun's people, and he is most worried about Longtan County.

"Salt will soon be available on the market, and Longtan will surely attract many merchants. By then, there will be a mix of good and bad people, and it is inevitable that spies from other families will sneak in."

"Longtan will appear in front of the world sooner or later. We will then find out those who have ulterior motives." Lin Yinan was not worried at all about this.

Yunye believed in the abilities of his third brother's wife, and then he analyzed the current military situation of the Yu family.

According to the information obtained by Yun Si, there are more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in the military camp of Nanzhou Prefecture. Since the south is located in a remote area and there has been no war for many years, the Yu family has no intention of using troops, resulting in the soldiers being neglected in training and having low combat effectiveness.

In other words, only a few of these soldiers can fight.

Although the military camp of Nanzhou Prefecture is controlled by the Yu family, there are many factions within it, and many soldiers are pawns planted by other families.

As the saying goes, if you want to command an army, you must first select generals. The head of the Yu family forced his concubine's son to lead the army, which caused many soldiers to be dissatisfied. Fortunately, Yu Shida was very capable. The Yu family colluded with the Japanese pirates and obtained the Xihe Iron Mine, which allowed them to suppress these soldiers from aristocratic families.

Now the Yu family not only lost the Xihe Iron Mine, but also lost the alliance with the Japanese pirates. It depends on how the major families react.

After analyzing the situation, everyone felt that things were not at their worst.

Lin Yinan was not so optimistic. He glanced at everyone and raised his voice slightly, saying, "The Southland will soon launch affordable salt, and Longtan will surely become the target of public criticism."

"The interests of the aristocratic families have been damaged, and they will definitely try every means to kill us." Yun Yu said worriedly.

He grew up in Nanzhou Prefecture and had seen many ugly faces of noble families.

Yun Mo placed his long hands on the table and clasped them together, his brows furrowed, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Whoever didn't let them live a good life would be made to live a bad life.

"So, they must think that our salt fields are in Xihe, and they will definitely take Xihe back!"

The two brothers had a tacit understanding. Yunye pointed to the location of Xihe County on the map and said, "Then we will deploy a large number of troops in Xihe."

"After the salt is launched, let Yun Si and others spread some gossip occasionally, pointing the clues directly to Xihe, and we will lure them into a trap." Lin Yinan said.

Thinking about what happened in Yu Shicheng's backyard recorded in the book, Yun Yu rubbed his hands and laughed, "We can also secretly set the Yu family's backyard on fire."

Lin Yinan instantly thought of something when she heard that. Her eyes lit up and she gave Yun Yu a thumbs up in appreciation.

"The best way to break up the enemy alliance is to stir up conflict!"

After listening to what a few people said, Lin Yiheng felt a little annoyed. He felt that he was too useless and didn't understand anything about these things.

Soon, they came up with a solution.

You Yunye brought the newly made weapons and equipment, as well as two thousand soldiers and three hundred secret guards who had been trained for half a year to garrison in Xihe County.

Lin Yiheng and Pan Qingfeng counted the food and fodder needed during the period.

After the meeting, Lin Yinan and the Yun Mo brothers went to Yun Er’s armory.

The weapons workshop was located in the back yard of the county government office, in the yard where Lin Yinan and his friends had lived before. It was spacious and secluded, and the yard had been converted into a training ground.

Yun Er proudly pushed open the door of a warehouse.

"Look everyone, I put a lot of effort into making these."

There is a row of crossbows on the shelves in the warehouse.

Lin Yinan stepped forward and picked up a bow. "What is this?"
