Chapter 566: Choice

(2-in-1)

Lin Boyong frowned and was silent. He didn't expect it to cost so much. Two million taels of silver, all the belongings of the Lin family have been sold, but they can afford it. But what about after that? Is the Lin family still the Lin family? Although the brotherhood is deep, this is at the juncture of the Lin family's survival, and he can't help but hesitate.

"Brothers, don't be impatient. The matter is not a foregone conclusion. It's just a matter of putting it forward for everyone to discuss and decide. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"Don't negotiate, there's nothing else to discuss. Isn't this ruining my Lin family? Lin Song waved his hand and shouted.

Lin Quan nodded and said, "That's it, brother, I'm afraid your plan won't work this time." ”

Lin Jue glanced at Lin Quan coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, you still don't grow up like this." ”

Lin Quan was stunned, but he didn't fight back, and wilted like a deflated ball. He saw a threat in Lin Jue's eyes. He was very afraid of Lin Jue now, and he didn't dare to provoke Lin Jue again.

Everyone was still arguing, Lin Jue grabbed the teacup and paused on the table, and shouted in a deep voice: "Be quiet, listen to me." ”

The crowd reluctantly stopped. Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "There is no other way to do it at the moment. The price is large, and that's because the second uncle's crime is too serious, so he can't save people. In fact, if you think about it, if the second uncle is convicted, he will be beheaded. and will also confiscate ten years of silver transport, which is one million taels of silver. In fact, he just took one million taels of silver to buy the second uncle's life. If we don't take out this extra million taels of silver, our Lin family will be in a situation where our personal wealth is empty, and now at least people can be saved. ”

"So what? When a person is alive and the money is gone, what is the difference between being dead and dying? Lin Song shouted.

Lin Boyong shouted coldly: "Lin Song, if you shout again, get out of here." Listen to Lin Jue well. ”

Lin Song muttered something in a low voice, but he didn't dare to say more.

Lin Jue continued: "The ancestral teachings of my Lin family require us to rely on each other for good and evil, and now it is the Lin family that has suffered a catastrophe. When a person is alive, everything is easy to do, but when a person is gone, it will be difficult to resurrect again. Compare your hearts to your hearts, why don't you think about it, if it is not the second uncle who is in the prison at the moment, but any of you. Do you want the whole family to work together to save you at any cost, or do you want everyone to let you die because it costs money? ”

The crowd frowned and remained silent. Lin Jue pointed at Lin Song and said, "Cousin Lin Song, if it were you, what would you think in your heart?" Do you want the family to give up on you? ”

Lin Song wanted to say a few words, but he knew that it was not credible to say such words. Only frowned and said nothing.

"If you don't want the family to save you, you can come out and speak. Make a note on the spot, no matter what happens to you in the future, the Lin family will not help, and you will be left to fend for yourself. Who can come out and speak? Lin Jue asked loudly as he looked around at everyone.

Who will come out and speak? No one can guarantee what will happen to them. And listening to Lin Jue's tone, I'm afraid that nothing will happen to him.

"Since everyone doesn't want the family to abandon you, how can we abandon the second uncle? Everyone in the Lin family should not be given up. Am I right? Lin Jue said.

No one answered, only Lin Boyong's old voice responded: "What Lin Jue said is very true, you can't give up." Money is something outside the body, and anything is possible when people are there. When a man is gone, there is no resurrection. ”

"Thank you, uncle. It seems that only Uncle and I think so. Well, I'll analyze it in detail for everyone. Regardless of the righteousness of the ancestors, just talk about things. You all said that these two million taels of silver would bankrupt my Lin family. I admit that if the two million taels of silver are to be scraped together, my Lin family's ship, wharf, boats, acres, and shops will have to be sold all before they can be scraped together. My Lin family is almost equivalent to annihilation. Because everybody has lost their property and their jobs. Not only us, but also the thousands of people employed by my Lin family have nothing to eat. This is indeed a catastrophic consequence. But think about it, after giving the second uncle a life, and being fined a million taels of silver, will our life be better? This million taels will ruin my Lin family's industry. Lin Jue said.

"At least...... We still have some property left, and we can still survive. Someone muttered under his breath.

Lin Jue didn't dwell on who was talking, he only nodded and said, "That's right, after a fine of one million taels, my Lin family may still be able to leave some property, but the family's business will be over." The ship's business is bound to be ruined, and in order to make money, the ship's wharf must be sold. The rest of the industry was nothing more than shops and fields outside the city. The expenses of these things to maintain the family may only be barely enough, and they can only make a living for the family. But what about the hundreds of people in the whole clan? The monthly silver is also going to be abolished, and the collateral clansmen can't get the help of the main family, and they lose their jobs, what will they do? And what about the thousands of people hired by the docks? Many of them are old people who have been in our Lin family for more than ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime. Can we just sit back and ignore them? ”

Everyone frowned and was silent, what Lin Jue said was reasonable. From a practical point of view, maybe you shouldn't care about the life or death of those people, after all, you can't protect yourself. But morally emotionally, it's really hard to accept.

"Young Master Lin Jue, the old man dares to say a word, don't be surprised if what you say is wrong." Butler Huang Changqing arched his hand and said.

Lin Jue said: "Steward Huang, please say it." ”

Huang Changqing arched his hand and said: "What Lin Jue Gongzi said is reasonable, but the confiscation of one million taels of silver is such a bad consequence." Wouldn't the situation be worse if a fine of two million taels had been imposed? It's hard for our Lin family to live. It won't solve the current problem. I'm not saying that I won't save the second master, I fully support the rescue of the second master. But could there be a better way? If all the real estate business and land are sold, the Lin family is afraid that it will fall apart. ”

"yes, that's what we mean. The head of the family is to be saved, after all, human life is at stake. Correct...... All the family property was donated, and the Lin family also fell, and when the time came, it would ...... Is this too much to pay. All the sons said one after another.

Lin Jue took a sip of tea, waited for everyone's discussion to subside, waved his hand and smiled: "How can I not consider what you are worried about?" Uncle, brothers. I have already agreed on an agreement with my father-in-law, Lord Liang, on this matter. Lord Liang promised me that he would buy all the Lin family's boats, docks, shops, acres and manors at a total price of two million taels of silver. In this way, we were able to raise two million taels of silver in a very short time. ”

“…… What does this do? We are talking about the livelihood of the Lin family, and if the property is not sold to Liang Wangye, some people will naturally buy it. ”

"Like, what kind of agreement is this? It doesn't help, does it? ”

The crowd talked to each other. Some people even muttered in their hearts: Is this Lin Jue colluding with his father-in-law to swallow all the Lin family's properties in one bite.

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen to what I have to say. First of all, I calculated an account for my Lin family's estate. All the properties of my Lin family were sold at the market price, and in the end, they were less than two million taels. Unless even the Lin family's old mansion and the houses of the West Lake Pavilion are sold, they can only barely make ends meet. But Liang Wangye's bid did not include the mansion, but only the wharf, the ship, the shop, and the acres. This is already a high price. You can calculate for yourselves how much silver my Lin family's entire property can be converted into. Lin Jue frowned and shouted in a deep voice.

In fact, Lin Boyong had already calculated this account, and all the properties of the Lin family would definitely not exceed 17.8 million taels if they were sold at market price. To make up enough two million taels, you need to sell all the silver taels in the family and the mansion property where you live, so that you can barely have enough. If Lord Liang is willing to pay two million taels of silver to take over, it will actually give the Lin family a great benefit.

Lin Jue is right, although in the old man's heart, the Lin family's industry is priceless. But if you really want to sell it, two million taels is still not enough. Liang Wangye at least paid an extra price of 150,000 taels. Lin Boyong nodded.

As soon as Lin Boyong spoke, everyone had nothing to say. Who knows the Lin family's family background as clearly as Lin Boyong.

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Thank you Uncle for saying a fair word." Actually, there's another thing you haven't considered. Buying and selling are different. If my Lin family had not suffered this calamity, then whoever wanted to buy the property from us would have been the highest price. But now, my Lin family is in trouble, and when I am anxious for the silver to save my life, the sale of the property will definitely be lowered. And in such a situation of my Lin family, others may not be willing to take over. One is that they are afraid of causing unclear right and wrong, and the other is that my Lin family has made a lot of enemies in business, and they are afraid that my Lin family will be finished. Think about it, there are very few people in Hangzhou who can eat my Lin family's industry, which one is not our former opponent? At this time, it is already very good not to take advantage of the fire and rob, let alone expect them to buy our property at a high price. I took these into consideration before I decided to discuss with Lord Liang. Everyone, don't think of going to a crooked place, I tell you the truth, Lord Liang is not willing to meddle in this matter at all, and this is the result only because my wife and the little county lord came forward. ”

The doubts in everyone's hearts disappeared after Lin Jue's words. Lin Jue's analysis is absolutely correct. The Lin family in Hangzhou has made too many enemies in the business world, and the Lin family has brutally annexed and crushed many opponents in the process of becoming bigger and stronger, and has also caused many businesses to go bankrupt and die. In business, competition and annexation are actually understandable, but in the case of the Lin family's troubles, it is reasonable for people to beat the water dogs, reduce the price or not take it over at all. The Lin family got into a lawsuit, and ordinary people don't want to get involved in it. So Liang Wangye packed up and took over, it should indeed be a favor.

"What I want to tell you is that the Liang Mansion has given us two choices. First, after the Lin family's property was bought by Liang Wangye, it was still managed and operated by my Lin family, but the ownership belonged to Liang Wangfu. To put it bluntly, my Lin family has become the operator hired by Liang Wangfu. The right of stewardship and hired staff to operate is the same. The difference is that my Lin family's annual income is 30% of the net profit of all industrial income. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"Huh? Is there such a good thing? It's unlikely. ”

"yes, that's a great thing. In other words, although the industry is sold, we can still manage the industry and still make profits. Others don't have to lose their jobs. That's a lot of money. ”

"Lord Liang is really not thin on my Lin family, and I am willing to give this kind of condition."

The crowd burst into a buzz, and indeed, the conditions were a little incredible. In this way, the Lin family can at least ensure that everything is as it is, but the annual profit is much less, but this is already very satisfying.

"Lin Jue, is the prince really willing to do this?" Lin Boyong asked in surprise.

Lin Jue said: "Uncle, at such a time, how dare I talk nonsense. True. ”

Lin Boyong rubbed his hands and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" I agree to this condition. Even if Bonian can be rescued, my Lin family can not be separated, this is the best way at present. What do you think? ”

"It's good, it's a good result in the current situation." Everyone agreed.

Lin Boyong looked at Lin Jue and said, "Lin Jue, everyone thinks this method is good, what do you think?" If we can, we can do that. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said softly: "Uncle, brothers, this matter is not worth celebrating. Although the Liang Wangfu paid two million taels of silver to buy our Lin family's property, everything will remain unchanged, and my Lin family will not completely lose their livelihood, and they can also get thirty percent of the benefits every year. However, after all, my Lin family's property has been lost, which is equivalent to being employed by Liang Wangfu and doing things for others. To put it mildly, if someone kicks it away one day, there is nothing to say. After all, the industry is someone else's property. For my Lin family, this is not a good thing. ”

The crowd was speechless, and there was some shame in their hearts. Indeed, the Lin family has reached such a point, and Shicai seems to have picked up a bargain, which is indeed strange. The industry was lost, and the Lin family actually had no foundation, just being hired. You can pretend not to think about it, but it must be the hardest hurdle in your heart to overcome. The dignified Lin family has been hired by others, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Hangzhou City, so they can only pick up their tails and be a man.

Lin Boyong also blushed, he just wanted to save people's hearts, he couldn't think of a solution to the best of both worlds before, and he was a little excited if there was a better solution at the moment. was also a little ashamed when Lin Jue said this.

"Lin Jue, it's not that we celebrate each other, indeed, under the current situation, this seems to be the only way to get the best of both worlds." Lin Boyong said.

"Uncle, we have a second choice. This is also the condition that I try my best to fight for Lord Liang. Would you like to hear it? Lin Jue said.

"Oh? Your proposal? Let's hear about it. Lin Boyong sat up straight and leaned in.

"The second plan is that Liang Wangfu will pay two million taels of silver to nominally buy my Lin family's property. But my Lin family has the right of redemption. After some bargaining, the Liang Wangfu agreed that our Lin family would redeem all the Lin family's properties within five years. The condition is that my Lin family will repay 550,000 taels of silver every year. In the past five years, the Lin family's industry is still in the hands of my Lin family, and the Liang Wangfu will never interfere. If the requirements cannot be met after five years, the Liang Wangfu will take back the property, and my Lin family will need to pay an additional 400,000 taels of operating income for these five years. If there is no silver, the mortgage on the property of the mansion is to be paid in full. ”

Lin Jue's clear voice was delivered to everyone's ears, and everyone in the hall really listened to it, and everyone gasped. The annual repayment is 550,000 taels, and it will be 2.75 million taels in five years. In other words, in the past five years, Liang Wangfu received a total of 2.7 million taels of silver. In this way, the Lin family completed the recovery of the Lin family's industry. It's a huge challenge and an opportunity to get the Lin family back on track.

"550,000 taels of silver a year, can my Lin family earn so much silver a year? This...... I'm afraid it's impossible. Lin Song smacked his lips.

"Our Lin family can have a net profit of 200,000 yuan a year, which is already a very good year, 550,000 taels, how is this possible? Liang Wangfu is too dark, two million taels of silver, and an extra 750,000 taels in five years, what should we do? ”

"yes, that's loan sharking. That's a harsh condition. ”

A group of sons talked to each other.

Lin Jue looked at everyone coldly, and said in a deep voice: "This is the condition I proposed, and the Renliang Wangfu still refuses." This is actually just borrowing silver from Liang Wangfu with industrial mortgage in disguise, why does Liang Wangfu want to lend us a huge amount of money? Do you have to pay interest on the money you borrow? What about usury? Now you want to borrow usury, and who dares to lend it to us? ”

Everyone frowned and was silent, each with their own thoughts.

Lin Jue continued: "The reason why I proposed this plan is not for anything else, but to protect my Lin family's property. In five years, I completed the self-redemption of my Lin family. 550,000 taels of silver a year, which is indeed a very large amount. However, at this time, if we don't grit our teeth and work hard for five years, how can we keep the family business that our Lin family has accumulated for generations? After this incident in my Lin family, everyone must understand one thing in their hearts, we can't be as lazy and inactive as before. Reality forces us to fight, otherwise our Lin family will decay and decline in the hands of our group of people, and finally fall apart. In that case, we are all sinners of the Lin family, what face will we have to meet the ancestors of the Lin family under the spring. We want the world to know that no matter what blow you blow, you can't try to knock down our Lin family. In the past five years, I have endured humiliation and burden, fought to take off three layers of skin, and fought to stand upright. As long as I get through, my Lin family will usher in everyone's respect. Glory but not arrogance, loss but not discouragement, this is the blood nature that my Lin family's children should have in their bones! ”

The hall was silent, but the eyes of each Lin family prince became bright at some point. The originally lazy blood in his body suddenly accelerated, becoming as fast as a galloping horse and becoming fiery and surging. Yes, if this redemption could be accomplished in five years, what would it be? All the Lin family members can tell the world and future generations of the Lin family with their chests held up that when the Lin family was in the most crisis, your uncles and uncles fought to the death and kept the family business. What a pride.

"Bang Bang!" Lin Boyong took the lead in applauding, and he also burst into tears with excitement in the corners of his eyes. For many years, everyone in the Lin family has lost their bloodiness by comfort and mediocrity. Now may be the time to reinvigorate the tenacity and bloodiness in the Lin family's bloodline. And the three-room concubine in front of him woke everyone up like he wanted to be empowered. Thinking about the past years, Lin Boyong was full of emotion and regret. I haven't woken up for so many years, and after living a lot of age, I am not as good as this Lin Jue in front of me. The future of the Lin family may be on Lin Jue.

"Well said, Lin Jue, you're right. At this point, there is no way back. The Lin family's industry is gone, the foundation of the Lin family is gone, and the Lin family's mansion is about to collapse. We don't have the face to go to our ancestors. Think about the ancestors of my Lin family, hundreds of years ago, they overcame thorns and thorns, spilled blood, sweated blood, and experienced many hardships and storms. When Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty suppressed the wealthy family, the ancestors of my Lin family did not hesitate to die generously in order to protect the Lin family, and the descendants were safe. Over the years, my Lin family has experienced ups and downs all the way to today. How many generations of these ancestors have put in a huge effort. How can we ruin it all when it's in our hands? The second brother must be saved, and the Lin family can't fall. The second plan proposed by Lin Jue is exactly what my Lin family needs most at this moment, there is no way back, we must endure these five years, and we must completely take back the Lin family's industry. There is no other way. I, Lin Boyong, swear here, if I can't complete this in five years, I will drown in the West Lake. After death, I covered my face with loess, because I had no face to see my ancestors under the spring. ”

Lin Boyong stood there, tears rolling down, and he was extremely emotional in the trembling generosity of the sons of the Lin family. The sons of the Lin family were also infected by it, and everyone had red eyes and gritted their teeth and clenched their fists. The glory of the ancestors is familiar to all the sons and is proud of it. Now, the Lin family is once again at the point of decline, they can't escape their responsibility, they must stand up, and they must abandon all distractions.

"Dad, after five years, if you can't complete your goal, your son will jump to the West Lake with you." Lin Song shouted.

"Lin Run also accompanied his father and second brother to jump into the lake together." Lin Run shouted.

"I'll jump too!"

"I jump! ……”

The crowd shouted.

Lin Jue smiled bitterly and was speechless, how could a good encouragement and persuasion turn into a suicide meeting that swore to jump into the lake.

"Uncle, brothers, it's easy to jump into the lake, but it's not a good way to die. What we have to think about is how to accomplish this goal. 550,000 taels of silver a year, which is indeed not easy. This is three times the annual income of my Lin family. The ultimate solution is to put more effort into management. I have some plans in mind, but I don't need to go into them for now, and we'll go into them later. Now I want to ask you, do you agree with this second option? Lin Jue said in a loud voice.

"The old man agrees!" Lin Boyong said in a deep voice.

"I agree."

"We agree."

The crowd shouted.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Okay, since everyone has agreed, then tomorrow I will take my uncle to King Liang's Mansion to make an agreement." There was no turning back on it. ”

"Lin Jue, just do as you say, no one can regret it. Today's matter has been decided, and tomorrow I will go with you to see King Liang and make an agreement. Lin Boyong said in a deep voice.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Lin Run suddenly said: "The second uncle is the head of the family, and the permission of the head of the family is required to make this contract." This is the rule of my Lin family. But now I can't see my second uncle, and time is pressing, what should I do? Without the head of the family nodding, I'm afraid this contract will not be fulfilled. ”

Lin Boyong frowned and groaned: "Yes, Bonian should be informed." He's the head of the house. ”

All the sons stared at them speechlessly, and they all thought in their hearts: The second uncle, the head of the family, did not do anything good, but brought such a big disaster to the Lin family, I am afraid that the head of the family should not continue to be in power. If you can't stay in the position of the head of the family, it will be chilling.

Lin Jue reached into his arms, took out the wrench that symbolized the identity of the head of the family, and handed it to Lin Boyong. Lin Boyong was shocked and asked, "Why is this thing in your hands?" ”

Lin Jue said: "The second uncle handed it over to me, saying that he was not qualified to be the head of the family, and he was going to step down as the head of the family." I actually feel that the second uncle is no longer suitable to be the head of the Lin family, after all, he has made a major mistake. So I took the wrench. Now that the uncle is here, I think, up and down the Lin family, the most suitable person to be the head of the family is still the uncle. Please come back to take charge of the Lin family's affairs. ”

Lin Boyong looked at the wrench in a daze, his expression was very complicated. All the sons also watched silently. Although Lin Boyong's return to the position of lord is not expected, it is actually possible. But although he was better than Lin Bonian in office, everyone left many not good memories during Lin Boyong's tenure as the head of the family, so his mood was also very delicate. What's more, the Lin family at this moment is facing tremendous pressure, and whoever is the head of the family is not an easy errand. Whoever is the head of the house is a torment.
