The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

The prefect frowned. "I heard that General Lin was injured and has been recuperating at home. What happened to your sister?"

“My sister saved me back then, otherwise I would have been dead long ago. My brother-in-law is a scholar, and he’s currently taking an exam. My sister is well-liked at home.”

“My sister’s brother-in-law is good at doing things, but he’s not good at talking. Besides, he’s never met such a high-ranking official before, so he’s a little intimidated when it comes to discussing business.”

“My sister is a good person. She can make decisions when the adults talk to her, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Or you can just have her relay the message. My sister knows a lot about family matters, so the adults can rest assured.”

Since Lin Hu had already put it this way, it would be somewhat unreasonable for the prefect to disagree, so he directly agreed, "Alright, then have your sister come over."

The prefect came to the Ling family to discuss business, partly to discuss business, and partly to visit the workshop. The prefect himself came in plain clothes, and only a few people knew the inside story.

Just now, the men from the Ling family came out to welcome the prefect inside, but Du Mingxian didn't show up. It wasn't that she didn't want to go out, but that this era was unfair to women.

Granny Zhao was the one who served the tea.

Du Mingxian heard Lin Hu calling her from inside the house, so she hurriedly went out.

Lin Hu whispered in her ear, "Good performance. The Prefect is quite good."

Du Mingxian went in and bowed first. Her bowing movements were a little clumsy, but they were still standard enough, which made the prefect look at her with new eyes.

After Du Mingxian sat down, the prefect said, "You should know why I've come here today, right?"

"I understand. Would you like to visit the workshop first, or would you like to discuss matters first?"

"Let's take a look first."

"Alright, please, sir."

Du Mingxian led the way, with Ling's father accompanying them, Ling Dalang following behind, the prefect walking in front, Lin Hu behind, and Ling's father and the others at the very end, all heading towards the workshop.

In each place they went, Du Mingxian would give a detailed introduction, explaining clearly every step of the brewing process.

The prefect initially looked down on Du Mingxian, but his gaze gradually became serious, and by the end of the tour, the prefect felt that this person was no ordinary person.

Once back in the Ling family home and seated down, the prefect's attitude softened considerably. "You should understand the meaning of the imperial edict. Now let's discuss how to handle this."

"Brother Lin explained the situation to us last night. I can make the alcohol that the military doctor needs directly into alcohol, which is more effective than this kind of liquor."

"That's great, there are good things here, which can reduce the number of deaths."

"Yes, as for the special supply, I feel we can discuss it further. We only have one type of wine right now, and neither method is very convenient for us."

The prefect's expression changed. He felt that this woman was incredibly bold to speak such words, showing no respect for His Majesty.

"But such unfriendliness is nothing in the face of righteousness. The court needs us and we should contribute. There is no home without a country. Only with soldiers guarding the frontier can we have a peaceful life. My Ling family is willing to follow the court's arrangements."

Du Mingxian's words brought tears to the eyes of not only the prefect but also Lin Hu. After years of risking their lives, no one had ever said such things to them before. For the first time, they felt that the people they, as military generals, protected remembered them.

After a moment of hesitation, the prefect said, "The fact that you can say such things proves that your Ling family has the court in their hearts. Even if you donate the wine, the court will certainly not treat you unfairly."

"We are all subjects, and we should contribute." Du Mingxian said after she felt the atmosphere had been right, "Actually, I can also provide specific types of wine. We can research and provide what kind of wine is needed in different places. Wouldn't that be better?"
