What she did not mention was her intention to foster her own human resources. In ancient times, without power and strength, one could never have a say. The Lin family could temporarily rely on Ding'an Temple or the Prince of Ling, but for how long?
What if someone notices the larger sum of silver the Lin family was earning from their other business, would another noble consort, similar to Consort Gao, emerge to seize it? Besides, Shili Village was located in the Northern Lands, a border region of several countries. Without their own strength, who could say when they might be swallowed up by others?
In any case, only when her family had sufficient strength, could they carry out tasks or negotiate with full confidence.
No matter how Lin Ziyin calculated, under the guidance of Lou Zheng, and the reassurance from the Little Monk, the Lin's family were temporarily at ease.
