The old man murmured and repeated: "Thirty percent, you have too much appetite?"
The old man holding the staff glanced at Lin Feng calmly.
The child in front of me who could not be faulted for his appearance and demeanor was a child of the Lin family, but he was also Shen Youli's. He didn't know how much weight Lin Feng held under Shen Tang's tent, but he could figure out the latter's thoughts to some extent. Lin Feng said that 30% was too much for his appetite, and he was afraid that Shen Youli might think so too. He said, "70% is a lot..."
Lin Feng said: "My lord will not agree."
Those seemingly harmless black eyes made Lin Feng gentle and dignified, but the words she spoke were full of blood and blood: "The noble family is safe and sound, and the Lord can get 70% of it. If I kill one group and support another, I don't know." How much can I get?"
The words were like an unconscious murmur.
The old man holding the staff said: "Your lord will not kill. You also said that 60% of the government offices in the territory are stagnant. Do you know how big the vacancy is?"
Lin Feng: "..."
Educational resources are heavily tilted towards one place, that is, in the hands of aristocratic families. It is very difficult for ordinary people to become apprentices and study. The level of teachers is uneven, and there are very few who can become talents. Common people with strong roots often have to join the local wealthy families and use the rest of their lives as bargaining chips in exchange for opportunities to get ahead. The local wealthy families are also willing to train such children from an early age to assist their heirs.
Lin Feng studied under Chu Yao and knows the ropes better.
The Lord can recruit talented people from among the people in an eclectic way, but it is hard to say what their level is and whether these people have received favors from aristocratic families. The academy founded by the lord himself was established too short ago, and it has not yet reached the harvest season, so he can only swallow his anger.
Lin Feng immediately regained his composure.
I reminded my great-grandfather in a low voice: "Great-grandfather, my lord started out in a rough way. Back then, only a few people in my tent were able to hold on to the foundation. How could I know that it would not be possible today? At that time, we were weak and could not be controlled by others. How much more so in today's situation? If we just wanted stability. , it doesn’t need to be an amazing and talented person, it can also be used by ordinary people from poor families, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be a big family member who can’t lose his tail.”
Lin Feng slightly bent his eyes.
"The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. If the lord kills the big fish and feeds the small fish, how can the small fish not be grateful?"
After all, the lord is still too kind-hearted.
Both the old man holding the staff and the old man fell into a long silence, looking at Lin Feng with strange and complicated emotions in their eyes.
"Jiaojiao, if there had been a confrontation before, I would not have allowed you to take charge of the overall situation. Instead, you would insist on your own opinion." After a while, the old man holding the staff asked a sharp question softly, "Would you let my blood splatter on the spot? Will you pull out your pendant?" Sword?"
Lin Feng subconsciously touched the hilt of his sword.
He lowered his eyes and said, "My great-grandfather understood the righteousness well and had no ifs."
The old man looked at him in shock, but the old man holding the staff burst into laughter. He raised his hand to stop his second brother from speaking: "Who did you study under? You seem to have said that your teacher gave you the word "Ling De"?
Lin Feng spoke proudly: "My mentor Chu Yao, Chu Wuhui. My great-grandfather may not have heard of it, but more than 20 years ago, there was a small country named 'Chu', and in this small place, three proud sons of heaven were born who were at the second level of the Chinese language. Teacher, It’s one of them.”
Hearing the words "Second Rank, Upper Middle", the old man holding the staff raised his droopy eyelids a little and said, "Lingde too?"
Lin Feng mentioned it before, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Lin Feng nodded: "It's a fluke."
The old man holding the staff touched his cane and sighed: "It's such a pity that your father and brother took the people south to seek refuge. If there are no other changes, they will not come back. What are Lingde's plans?"
Lin Feng didn't know what his great-grandfather's purpose was, why the topic suddenly jumped to an unknown clan member, and he considered it: "If the tree is moved, it will die, and the people will live. The Lin family will definitely prosper under the leadership of his father and brother. If there is an opportunity in the future, Let’s keep in touch through letters.”
The old man holding the staff carefully pondered every word in Lin Feng's words.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Feng: "Which one?"
Lin Feng said matter-of-factly: "My father and brother are not here, so my grandson will naturally honor his great-grandfather and several great-uncles for them, and provide for you until you die, so as to fulfill the filial piety of the descendants. Although the children of the Lin family are far apart, they are still in the same spirit, and so are the grandchildren." Count one."
On the other side of my father and brother, I count him as the Lin family of a certain place.
This side of the clan belongs to the Lin family in Lingzhou.
Lingzhou Lin family, even if it's just her and a few old people.
She seemed to be worried and asked the two elders.
"What did your grandson say wrong?"
The old man holding the stick grasped the wooden stick tightly and said with a smile: "No, Ling De is right. You said it very well. Your teacher and your lord also taught you very well. The mark Lin left on you should not be... I can’t be a burden to you, you are fine…”
Lin Feng bowed and saluted: "My grandson still has something to deal with, so I'll take my leave first. If my great-grandfather needs anything, he can send someone to summon him."
When she reached the door, she stopped.
"Jiaojiao was raised by my great-grandfather, and she was taught by her mentor. She cannot commit such an act that goes against human ethics like parricide."
After that, he lifted up his skirt and strode out of here.
The old man holding the staff sighed quietly: "If Lingde were my son or grandson, Lin wouldn't have fled south."
Back then, when the war was raging here, only the Lin family in the local area chose to relocate and seek refuge, and many of their fields were sold at low prices. It's not that I don't feel distressed, but it is helpless that Lin himself is not as good as the previous generation, and his support until now depends on a few good seedlings adopted by the private sector.
Just kindness can't bind them for long.
Protecting the Lin family for twenty or thirty years can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous act.
If he continues to stay, he will be swallowed up by enemies or a covetous family at some point. He can only cut off his tail to survive. A few old men stayed, and the best family land was sold at a discount, so that the few buyers who acquired it could taste the benefits. He also had a mentorship for the nearby aristocratic families, so those people naturally couldn't save their face and continued to embarrass him. He thought he had no hope.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng appeared.
Lin Feng had been carefully pampered in the inner house before, so her starting point was different from other men. The old man holding the staff was also worried that she would be unnecessarily soft-hearted and hesitant, but after some testing, she unexpectedly made an outstanding decision: "It's not too late now, hahahaha Ha ha--"
The old man looked at his elder brother who was smiling broadly.
As soon as his mind changed, he knew his plan: "Brother, Jiaojiao——"
"Second brother, she is not Jiaojiao, Lin's crescent moon is gone." The old man holding the staff stood up slowly, "She is Lin Feng, Lin Lingde! Lin's Phoenix Girl, Qilin'er!"
The old man looked at his elder brother who was suppressing his emotions and kept silent.
"Send someone to send a message to several other companies..." The old man holding the staff calmed down his excitement and returned to normal, "Explain the misunderstanding."
learn from mistakes! In the future, if you meet someone like Shen Youli who is reckless from the get-go, stop engaging in any temptations like back-and-forth and flirting, just to show the blind man.
Lin Feng also passed the news back immediately.
When Yu Zi found out about this, he clicked his tongue: "Is this the case? These nobles from high-ranking families are also interesting. What can't you say more clearly? What kind of tacit understanding, what hints, look, don't you just put yourself in trouble?" Life is at stake."
Lin Feng was looking through Lin's accounts for the past few years.
He responded casually: "It would be better if those families died."
All of them have the worst attitude towards the Lord and are the most resolute in their resistance. If they are left alive, negotiations will not go smoothly. The grasshopper who survived yesterday's operation is the most lovable. They will change their words and increase their money for the sake of their lives. They will also lower their bottom line and expectations and spit out more land and people for the sake of their lives.
Yu Zi gnawed on the cake and said, "That's true."
The pancakes recommended by Lin Feng are indeed very delicious.
Chao Lian waited anxiously for several hours.
When he learned that Lin was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Feng was free at noon and was curious about why he appeared in Lin's house, and even more curious about why Chao Lian was still alive. Although the Chao Lian in front of him looks like a knight-errant, looking at his attire, one can tell that he is paying great attention to his filial piety. This filial piety should be related to Gu Zi's sworn brothers.
"It's a long story."
Chao Lian didn't hide anything, he explained everything.
"Uncle Fourth is still alive?"
"Still alive."
Lin Feng, who had always been emotionally stable, could rarely control his inner turmoil. The nightmare night a few years ago still appears frequently in my dreams today. She watched her relatives being slaughtered one by one, but now she knows that there are still people who survived...
That feeling is beyond words.
In the spirit of courtesy, Lin Feng also told Chao Lian some news that the outside world didn't know: "You better not go to Shangnan. Gu Gong's relatives have already been secretly transferred, and now it's all in vain. The bad news of Gu Gong reached the rear. The Qi Lord Book was worried about their safety and transferred them to Sibao County early."
Lin Feng said this. Chao Lian, an honest child, did not think about controlling this behavior and said excitedly: "Is this true? If the eldest brother is in heaven and knows that his sister-in-law and nephews and nieces have been taken under the wings of Shen Jun, he can also Rest in peace!"
In the eyes of everyone in the Shangnan family, Shen Tang is as white as his eldest brother! In Chao Lian's view, his sister-in-law and the others were protected by Shen Tang and were as safe as they were protected by Gu Ren himself. Mr. Shen can definitely provide a stable world for orphans and widowed mothers.
Excited, Chao Lian thanked him again and again.
His enthusiasm and simplicity made Lin Feng uncomfortable.
How could Lin Feng not see what Qi Shan was planning?
It was just that he wanted to control Gu Ren's relatives so that he could justifiably take over Gu Ren's political legacy in the future. Even if Wu Xian wants to rob him, the Lord's side will be able to show off his skills and make his plans loud and clear. In Chao Lian's opinion, they were doing good deeds...
Lin Feng forced out a sweet and harmless smile.
The eyes looking at Chao Lian were also kind.
"Nvjun Lin, if Chao goes to Sibao, he can see his sister-in-law and the others?" Chao Lian's eager mood eased a lot.
Lin Feng nodded: "Of course."
Chao Lian stayed in Linzhai for several days.
He only set off after confirming that things were settled on Lin Feng's side.
Both the Shijia family and Shen Tang received secret messages.
The reactions were very different.
The aristocratic family was furious and sent people overnight to find out which family's fool was loose-mouthed and caused Shen Tang to have such a big misunderstanding! His misunderstanding directly affected the four families! Shen Tang's mood was stable, his apricot eyes widened, and he was forced to gain knowledge.
"Is there such a tacit understanding?"
Looking around, no one knew.
No, someone still knows.
I went back to my ancestral home a while ago, and I did some ideological work on the local aristocratic families and learned about the situation of the local government officials! You know, he is the head of the Xie family! Before Zheng Qiao came to power, the Xie family was also ranked high in the local area.
Ever since Xie Qi and his wife became hostages, the Xie family has been wilting.
"Indeed."
Shen Tang was shocked: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Xie Qi said: "You gentlemen are very resourceful, and Qi thinks that this move must be the result of foresight and foresight between the lord and them..."
First, let’s give the disobedient family a showdown! The aristocratic family is used to being domineering in the local area, and they are arrogant at heart. They will definitely complain about the master's background and look down on her. The Lord first uses force to shock them and dispel their arrogance. This process is normal.
It is also convenient for you to bargain after you come to me.
Those who didn’t go on a business trip: “…”
Xie Qi immediately lowered his head, reducing his sense of presence.
I am afraid that my colleagues will hate me if I move a step slowly.
Shen Tang frowned: "Then what should we do now? According to the tacit agreement, the family wants 30%. 30%, why don't they go and rob? They want 30%, and I, the future leader of the country, will be a 70% leader? Or is it? Not enough killed!”
The donations that came one after another did not make her happy.
"Shizo, did you make any sound after you returned?"
Xie Qi was almost dumbfounded.
The Lord wouldn't want to use one of his own people as a model, would he?
However, being cautious, he did not have no backup plan. He took out a copy of the accounts from his sleeve and presented it to Shen Tang. This account is the record he made when he went back to inspect the family's farm house. It says the people of the Xie clan, land, tenants, servants...
Shen Tang frowned after reading it, then raised his eyes to look at the thank you.
Xie Qi cupped his hands and said: "Return to my lord, Qi and his wife have been hostage in the capital for many years, and the affairs of the clan have been taken care of by the clan elders, so that management has been lax and has caused the breeding of moths. This time I went back to check the bad debts over the years and eliminate the internal thieves. The results are all It’s here.”
He failed to notice in time that the trouble between Shen Tang and the family was also related to these things, so he focused all his energy on it.
All illegally acquired property was seized.
All the slaves and clan members who broke the law and committed crimes were imprisoned.
The entire tenant population was re-enumerated and registered.
He was so scared that he couldn't sleep a whole night.
Xie's family really gave him a big surprise!
Shen Tang closed the copy of the accounts, and there was no hint of emotion or anger in his tone: "You and your wife have had a hard time these years, and the problems within the Xie family cannot be blamed on you. These things have been done well, but I want to know, as the head of the family, Shi Zang How many percent can you accept?”
Let her be mentally prepared before she bids again!
We must definitely press the psychological bottom line of the family!
Xie Qi's forehead was covered with sweat at some point.
He swallowed: "Lord, the weapon has a word!"
Shen Tang said: "You say."
Xie Qi obviously expected this scene and was fully prepared in advance: "Qi originally thought that each family could keep their own clan land. However, the amount of land in each family is uncertain. In recent years, the accounts of clan fields can still be checked, but it is difficult to do so as they age. Trace back..."
Who knows that these clan fields are really legitimate?
If each family were allowed to retain their own clan land and hand over other properties, the real proportion would probably shock Shen Tang! Xie Qi also knew this method, but his lord would not agree, so he had other ideas: "In this case, why not turn them all in!"
Shen Tang: "..."
Who took away the gift vessel in front of me?
Do you still know that you are the head of a noble family?
Just when Shen Tang suspected that the Xie utensil was a rare second and fifth son of a family, he added: "After it is handed over, the number of people in the clan will be counted, and the clan land will be returned based on the number of people at that time. Regardless of male or female, each person will get a share. For the same amount of clan land, the amount is based on the land needed to support one person...it can be more appropriately..."
Shen Tang held his chin and thought for a while.
"It seems that Mr. Xie's account is very bad..."
What's the difference between this and causing bad debts in the underworld for hundreds of years?
