After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

"Your Highness, thank you for your compliment. I am just an ordinary citizen. It's just luck that I was able to grow corn."

Eunuch Liu went in and came out soon, walking in front of Lin Ting.

"Madam Lin, His Majesty summons you."

Lin Tingchao nodded to Xiao Chu and followed Eunuch Liu into the imperial study.

Watching the two people disappear, Xiao Chu was still left outside the door in the cold. He turned around and called his servants.

"Someone, go find out why Madam Lin has been recruited into the Imperial Study by our father. Also, inform our mother that the palace has welcomed a female relative. Please let her know when she receives them."

"Yes, Your Highness. I will do it right away."

Lin Ting had been tempered in the business world for a long time, but she was still a little nervous when she met the leader of a country. Her fingers under her sleeves were clenched so tightly that they turned white.

Entering the study, Eunuch Liu bent down and spoke to the person at the desk.

"Your Majesty, Madam Lin has arrived."

The person in front of him had a tall and straight figure, narrow and deep eyes, a sharp and majestic look, and also concealed the unfathomable mind of an emperor.

A brocade robe with dragon patterns, and coiled dragons embroidered on the clothes. Both the color matching and the embroidery make it look as if the dragons are alive.

Coupled with the deterrent power of his superior, people dare not act rashly.

Lin Ting tried his best to look calm, and then knelt down to pay his respects.

"I, a commoner, Lin Ting, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Madam Lin, please excuse me and take a seat."

Eunuch Liu directed Lin Ting to sit down at his seat. When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure. Lin Ting's eyes moved, and the person opposite him started laughing.

"Hehehe... After saying goodbye to Madam Lin Wenmoshe, I wonder if you still recognize me?"

Lin Ting was stunned. She thought she had disguised herself well, but she didn't expect to be recognized by the old man in front of her.

"You are? Grandpa?"

Even though Lin Ting already knew who Mr. Jiang was, he couldn't show it in front of His Majesty.

"Hahaha, my last name is Jiang, you can call me Grandpa. After discussing what Madam Lin said that day with His Majesty, I feel that it is very feasible, so I specially asked Madam Lin to come and discuss it in detail."

After Mr. Jiang finished speaking, Lin Ting immediately stood up from her chair again, a trace of fear showing on her face.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I came here today to thank Your Majesty for the grace you bestowed upon me, the house and the farm.

That day at Wenmoshe, everyone could express their own opinions. I thought everyone could express their opinions, so I didn't care.

But there is a saying in the palace that women cannot discuss politics, and I am afraid it is inappropriate for a common woman to say such things."

That proposal was a method that Lin Ting came up with after reading countless books, and it would definitely help the Dongxia Kingdom.

But she didn't understand the emperor, so she had to be on guard against others and it was always right to lower her position.

"Madam Lin is wrong. There is a saying in the palace that women in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics. But in the past, there was a female general named Feng Fu who killed the enemy.

Later, there was the female Prime Minister Wen Ding Anguo. When did she ever say that women could not participate in politics? Since Madam Lin has a plan to save the country, I am all ears. You can speak freely.

No matter what the women in the harem do, it will affect the interests of the family behind them. The emperor naturally has to be on guard, but Lin Ting is different. She is a businessman and there are no overly complicated relationships behind her, which makes the emperor feel at ease.

"Yes!"

Lin Ting just wanted the emperor to give her a guarantee. Discussing such national affairs could easily hurt thousands of people, but since the emperor had spoken, she would be fine from now on.

While they were talking, Eunuch Liu ordered someone to prepare tea for the three of them and brought it to them before he left.

"Mr. Jiang has already given me a rough outline of what Madam Lin said at Wenmoshe last time. I wonder how Madam Lin came up with this idea?"

Lin Ting was a thin and petite woman, and it was hard for the emperor to imagine that she was so smart.

A woman has made her business flourish, and she can also grow corn, and is willing to contribute her planting techniques to the country.

Even if you have a husband who is a top scholar, he will still have his own ideas about state affairs due to the influence of his surroundings.

Mr. Jiang also wanted to know this question.

"Your Majesty, I am not talented, but I often listen to my husband's words at home. Every man has a responsibility for the country's major affairs. My business has also been expanding in recent years, so I naturally pay more attention to the national conditions of Dongxia.

The words of Wen Moshe that day are the countermeasures that I have been meditating on for many days. I am humble and do not know whether they are feasible, so I just started to talk about them at will.

Lin Ting was neither humble nor arrogant, giving people a very comfortable feeling. In addition, this proposal was approved by Mr. Jiang and His Majesty, so they were more willing to listen to Lin Ting's opinions.

"Shen Jieyuan is devoted to his country, and he's a teachable young man. But Dongxia wants to adopt your proposal, Madam Lin. Do you and Mr. Jiang think it's inappropriate?"

Mr. Jiang felt that this method of using grain as bait was almost perfect and he had nothing to say.

"If Your Majesty truly adopts this woman's proposal, how it is implemented is crucial. If this path is truly taken, the warriors of the border town may face a war."

The emperor had thought about all that Lin had heard, but the Dongxia Kingdom had no other choice. It took a lot of effort to find this breakthrough. If he didn't do it, the Dongxia Kingdom would only last for a few decades at most before it would be destroyed.

"The border town has the Second Prince and General Han. They can still fight Xi Luo for now, but that may not be the case in the future."

What the emperor meant was that the Dongxia Kingdom was willing to fight to the death this time.

Inside the imperial study, the three of them fell silent at the same time. Both Old Jiang and the emperor were looking forward to a bright future.

Lin Ting had seen too much suffering along the way, including people who couldn't afford to eat and mothers and children who froze to death on the roadside. In addition, he himself had not had enough food to eat in Wushan Village before.

Days like this are worth their hard work.

"In that case, I have one more thing to say. Your Majesty can discuss this with the civil and military officials in the court before making a final decision."

Lin Ting is a woman. If the civil and military officials saw her first, they would definitely reject her idea at the first moment.

The emperor and Mr. Jiang were both well aware of the prejudice against women in this era, but Lin Ting's words had important considerations for both of them.

"Mrs. Lin, please speak."

Lin Ting expressed his thoughts.

“This food method has a long cycle, but Dongxia State has corn, so it can barely support this method in the future.

But the country can afford to wait, but the people may not. The woman believes that it would be better to shorten the cycle.

For example, when sending an envoy to the West, it would be best to spread the news of the lowest price of grain there.

By then, the grain sent by Dongxia Kingdom would be cheaper than the grain sold by the Xiluo people themselves, and this news would take root in the hearts of the Xiluo people.

By then, King Xiluo, oppressed by his people, will be forced to accept our low-price grain sales. Your Majesty can also sign a contract with King Xiluo, agreeing to sell a certain amount of grain to him each year, to increase the success rate of this matter.

The emperor and Mr. Jiang looked at Lin Ting's expressions and were both relieved. This was indeed feasible.

Even if a contract is signed, when the situation really takes control of them, the contract will be nothing but a piece of waste paper.

"What Madam Lin said only increases the chances of success, but it doesn't shorten the period of time the Xiluo people have to abandon their farming, right?"
