C9 Military Pay Food Clans

Su Ziwan didn't care about the war between Qi Country and Yue Country. After all, she was just a widow right now. No matter what, she couldn't be sent to the battlefield to fight.

However, she was very interested in the Celestial Shining Mirror that the Taoist used to perform the divination technique.

According to Daoist Priest and Su Lingyou, the reason they were able to find him was because of this Celestial Shining Mirror. One could constantly deduce the different outcomes of something that had changed due to a certain factor.

Su Ziwan felt that if she had this treasure, she would definitely be able to support the entire Su family. Not only could she seek fortune and avoid disaster, but she could also plan ahead. It was simply a divine weapon.

Although there were many of these things in the sky, the Taoist priest could not give them to her.

First of all, using the Celestial Shining Mirror required magic power. Su Ziwan was just a mortal, so she naturally could not use it. Even Su Lingyou had barely used it once or twice with the help of the golden light of virtue.

Secondly, there were too many changes in fate. It was changing almost at all times. Even using the Celestial Shining Mirror once could change what would happen in the future. If it wasn't for helping Su Lingyou, the Taoist priest wouldn't have used this thing.

Because the more times one used it, the more variables there would be, and the more risks one would have to face.

Especially for Su Ziwan, she already had enough to bear. If she took the liberty of prying into the secrets of heaven, then there would be more variables in the future.

This was the reason why the secrets of the heavens could not be revealed.

The more times one was spied on, the more changes would occur. Therefore, this was also the reason why Su Lingyou did not even let Su Ziwan see the deduction process.

Once Su Ziwan got involved, her future days would probably be even more difficult. Su Lingyou could only secretly express what he saw. As for how much she could understand, it all depended on fate.

The matter of the Celestial Shining Mirror was over. The border war was the most important.

Su Lingyou showed the imperial edict to Su Ziwan. The contents were not much different from what he had deduced.

However, knowing did not mean that he could do it.

Now that the war was tense, Su Ziwan was able to guess some of it. Looking closely, it was still not much different from her own world. Silver and food were the key to protecting the army.

The young miss of the Su family had told Su Ziwan about the food supply. The Lanshore, where Cangdale was located, was one of the food lifelines of Qi Country. The land was fertile, and there was plenty of rain. In fact, there were many places where there were no disasters.

"But it doesn't seem to be harvest season, does it?"

Su Lingyou nodded his head helplessly. Even if the area he was in charge of was the main food production area, it was still very difficult to hand it over at this time.

However, it was difficult to disobey the imperial order!

Regarding this matter, Su Lingyou had also asked the Taoist priest to help him deduce it. In one life, he had gathered all the food he needed, but he had also received a lot of criticism. Furthermore, under the deliberate targeting of his former political enemies, he had been splashed with a lot of dirty water. The reputation that he had worked so hard for was ruined. His young daughter was killed too. She didn't even have a complete corpse. The family property had been divided up and nothing was left.

Seeing this life, Su Lingyou had also guessed that it would be like this, so he made some arrangements in advance. He only left a small portion of his daughter's wealth as a dowry, and then left his and his wife's belongings to Su Manjing. Most of the Su family's wealth was handed over to the imperial court to be confiscated. Some of the inheritance was even used to pay a portion of the military salary needed for the Cangdale region. He wanted to gain a good reputation for the Su family so that his daughter could find a good husband in the future.

Unfortunately, the imperial court was much crueler than he had imagined.

After Su Lingyou made up his mind, he wrote a will and asked the Taoist priest to deduce it.

The result did not change much.

His own daughter had even ended up in an even more miserable state. Because the collateral family didn't get any benefits, they attacked the Su family. Because they didn't get anything, they destroyed everything they couldn't get. When the imperial court saw this, they did nothing. When Su Lingyou saw the end result, he was completely disappointed in the Imperial Court.

Those plans, those arrangements... They actually became Su Manjing's death warrant!

After a few more extrapolations, none of his arrangements had the desired effect, and his young daughter and the Su family were divided and eaten like sheep caught in a pack of wolves.

Fortunately, there was still a chance of survival.

Su Ziwan, who came from another world, was the turning point in this hopeless situation.

It was just that the war between Qi Country and Yue Country couldn't possibly not have happened because of Su Lingyou's arrangements. And this war was also one of the reasons for the disaster.

Military salary, food, property of the Su family... All of them were evil.

Since he couldn't hide, he would solve it. Now that Su Ziwan was here, Su Lingyou had a trace of hope. What kind of surprise would this woman, who was different from the Qi Country Dynasty, bring to the Su family?

"Miss Su, how do we raise this food, and what about the Su family's assets?"

This question might have been a problem for the original Miss Su family, but it didn't seem so difficult for Su Ziwan, who came from the modern world.

I have so many palace fighting texts, I didn't read the time-traveling texts for nothing!

Although Su Ziwan had never seen their deduction process, she could guess. How could two little girls defend such a huge fortune of the Su family? It was simply a pipe dream.

As for the main clan, those relatives, and collateral relatives... they were not good people either.

It was obviously impossible for her to escape with Su Manjing. It would be fine if there was no war, but now it was a chaotic world. The two little girls did not know martial arts, so anyone could kill them.

However, those people were not useless to him and Su Manjing.

Su Ziwan remembered a novel she had read before. The people who had transmigrated used the internal strife of the clan to protect themselves and even completed a wave of counterattack. Since others could do it, she should be able to do it too.

In any case, there would definitely be conflicts of interest in the clan, so why not make use of them together...

After carefully reviewing all the web novels she had read, Su Ziwan was very glad that she had this hobby.

"Lord Su, do you have an acre of land to worship your ancestors?"

"You mean, to worship the fields?"

Su Ziwan was secretly pleased. Fortunately, the history of the two worlds was intertwined.

"But you can't be in charge of the sacrificial fields, even if you become the Madam in charge."

Su Ziwan, who originally had a trace of gratification, immediately felt a trace of disappointment.

"However, we don't have a separate sacrificial field in this room. I'll get someone to buy it tomorrow."

Su Lingyou also told Su Ziwan that Qi Country's sacrificial fields were also limited. If his position wasn't high enough, he wouldn't be able to buy more.

However, the use of offering sacrifices to the fields here was similar to what Su Ziwan knew. Sacrificing ancestors and supporting the clan.

Unfortunately, most of them were heartless people. The location of the offering of the fields was simply unable to satisfy those greedy people.

Su Ziwan and Su Lingyou both understood this point.

"What are you going to do with this sacrificial field? In order to prevent yourself from being raided?"

The Qi Country's sacrificial field would not be confiscated even if it was raided, unless it was a crime that involved nine generations.

"No, I have to spare a portion of my kindness to the clan. Even if no one remembers, I have to leave a weakness in them. At least, they won't suffer a crushing defeat."

Su Ziwan would not leave a way out for herself so early. Since she was already here, she would not admit defeat so easily. As for the favor, it was mostly for outsiders to see.

"Although we can't raise ingrates well, we can still keep them alive."

When Su Lingyou heard Su Ziwan say this, it was obvious that she had her own idea.

"I'll have to trouble Lord Su to consider those provisions. As for the Su family's properties, I still have to plan."

Su Ziwan knew that the result of the Celestial Shining Mirror's deduction would not be good, so she did not ask. But she also knew that this was the test question that Su Lingyou had given her. However, what she saw was almost all palace battles and otaku fighting texts.

Looking at the account books, Su Ziwan's head started to ache again. Although she had studied accounting before, accounting was still a matter that required a lot of brainpower. Even if this fortune was fatal to anyone.

Not to mention, there was a big difference between the ancient accounts and the modern accounts. Su Ziwan also seemed to have a hard time writing a lot of traditional words. However, this body did give Su Ziwan some memories, allowing her to be more proficient in this world.

Fortunately, Su Ziwan's logical ability was not bad. After using a method that suited her to read the account book, she quickly sorted out the clues. Then, he took out the map of Lanshore and began to count the properties.

With Su Lingyou's help, he circled all the locations. There was also a booklet that recorded the situation of each industry in detail. Su Ziwan still didn't feel that it was clear enough, so she found the maps of the various cities in the Lanshore and marked them.

In this way, it became even clearer.

When these treasures were placed in front of Su Ziwan, she finally understood why those people were so greedy.

Even she herself was a little suspicious as to whether or not there was still some property secretly left to Su Manjing.

The Su family was richer than he had imagined.

After counting all the properties, the next step was the main clan.

When Su Ziwan saw the Su family's long heritage and its history of development, she understood why the imperial court also had a trace of greed for the Su family.

This was even more powerful than the four great families in Dream of the Red Chamber!

It turned out that the Su Family had contributed a lot to the establishment of the Qi Country Dynasty. When the Qi Country was just established, it was the ancestor of the Su Family. However, the suspicions of the emperor were inevitable.

After all, he had shocked the master with his achievements.

Su Ziwan clearly knew how those meritorious officials were killed by the suspicions of the Emperor.

Not long after the establishment of the Qi Country Dynasty, the branches of the Su family were scattered everywhere. Only the direct descendants of the Su family had been guarding the ancestral land of the South State. That was a place where the Su family had existed for hundreds of years. It was impossible to abandon it. Even in the war hundreds of years ago, the Su family had never left. Instead, they guarded the ancestral land and accumulated wealth.

If not for the fact that he was going to serve in Cangdale, Su Lingyou would probably be in South State right now.

After flipping through the records of the Su's family, Su Ziwan had a rough idea of what was going on.
