The great-uncle heard Jiang Yifeng's offer of three chapters. Although he didn't reject it, his expression was not very good and he felt like he was being blackmailed.
The problem was that he had to compromise, because the Zhao family and his son were only afraid of Su Renshan's lineage.
So, after thinking about it again and again, the great uncle slowly said, "You tell me first. If it's not too much, I will agree."
Jiang Yifeng was not polite and said directly: "First, no matter what proportion the Su family distributed money to the clan members in the past, starting from this year, no matter how much money the Su family earns, the clan clan members can only get one hundred thousand taels of silver every year."
In previous years, the clan members would share almost half of the Su family's profits. If they were to share this proportion again in the future, it would be a big loss.
After all, the profit of Meishan alone exceeds one million taels a year, so it is impossible to give half a million taels of silver to the clan!
"no!"
Immediately, some clan members stood up to object, "How to distribute profits is a rule set by the ancestors of the Su family. If you do this, you will break the ancestors' laws."
"Can you compromise?"
"cannot!"
After hearing this answer, Jiang Yifeng looked at Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue was more direct. She took Jiang Yifeng's hand and walked out, as if you were playing by yourself.
Seeing this scene, the clan member became anxious and said, "Don't leave. We can discuss everything."
Jiang Yifeng stopped, glanced at the clan member first, and then glanced at everyone.
"Please remember two things. The first thing is that you asked us to come back, not that we wanted to come back."
"The second thing, I'm not discussing it with you. This is the condition we will impose when we come back. Either you agree, or we leave."
There were some words that Su Yingxue could not say out loud because of her face, so she could only say them by him.
Anyway, they are not relatives, and there is a high probability that they will not meet again in the future, so there is no need to worry too much about feelings when speaking.
"..."
The Su family clan members felt very uncomfortable, feeling like they were being scolded and wanted to get angry, but after looking at Zhao Xu and his son next to them, they could only keep all their dissatisfaction in their stomachs.
"I agreed."
After a long silence, Taishu spoke openly.
In fact, how could he not see that the clan clan's inner thoughts were to covet the profitable business of the Su family that Zhao Xu said.
Without that deal, being able to distribute one hundred thousand taels a year is actually quite a lot. After all, it was only 50,000 taels a year before. This has doubled.
"Great uncle!"
Some clan members did not want to agree.
But the great-uncle just asked, "How about you be the head of the family?" The clan member immediately shut up.
Jiang Yifeng continued: "Two, from now on, the clan members are not allowed to have any involvement in any business of the Su family."
"Then if the Su family stops making paper, the clan members won't be able to interfere?" Another clan member immediately retorted.
"cannot!"
Jiang Yifeng shook his head.
"Papermaking is the foundation of the Su family. If the Su family stops making paper, will it still be the Su family?" the clan relative asked loudly.
Jiang Yifeng looked over and said, "As long as there is money, the Su family is still the Su family. If there is no money, the Su family is not the Su family even if it makes paper."
As soon as this statement came out, the Su family clan members were silent, acquiescing to this statement, and also agreed to the second condition proposed by Jiang Yifeng.
As for not asking what business the Su family does...
In fact, they were not qualified to ask.
If Su Renshui hadn't found them and said that Su Yingxue had leaked out the papermaking technology and might not be able to get any money in the future, they probably wouldn't have come.
"Third, in the future, if the clan members want to remove the head of the family, they must obtain the consent of the head of the family."
After hearing this condition, the clan members couldn't sit still.
"We can barely accept the first two, but isn't this third one too much? Is there any reason why the removal of the head of the family requires the consent of the head of the family?"
"According to your statement, if the head of the family does not agree to be dismissed, our clan will have nothing to do."
"No, this is absolutely not possible."
Being able to remove the head of the family is the only way for the clan to control the head of the family. If this method is restricted, the clan will have no way to control the head of the family in the future.
Jiang Yifeng shrugged and said helplessly: "Uncles, I don't want to be like this, but you have really chilled Xuexue this time. There is no reason for you to work hard to earn money for the Su family and still be punished by the army."
Upon hearing this, the clan members understood that Jiang Yifeng was using this incident to make them compromise.
However, even if they were in the wrong, it would be impossible for them to make such a big concession and hand over the means to manipulate the family head.
"Ahem!"
At this time, the great-uncle coughed twice, looked at Su Yingxue and asked: "For the sake of the face of an old guy like me who is about to die half of his body, can we discuss this third item again?"
"this……"
Su Yingxue looked at Jiang Yifeng in embarrassment.
Jiang Yifeng naturally saw that the great uncle was using his status to suppress Su Yingxue. If Su Yingxue did not compromise, she might be accused of being unfilial.
"Since Uncle Tai has spoken openly, let's discuss it." Jiang Yifeng thought for a while and continued: "Then the third article will be changed to say that if you want to remove the head of the family, you need the consent of 80% of the clan members."
"Moreover, if the removal is not successful, the amount of silver distributed to the clan every year will be reduced by ten thousand taels... Uncles, please don't glare at me. I am doing this for the sake of family harmony. Otherwise, I will be dismissed every two days, which will be chilling. "
Grand uncle said: "This time it's the clan's fault, so I'll do what you say."
"Thank you so much, great uncle!"
Jiang Yifeng quickly bowed over.
Grand uncle looked at Jiang Yifeng and wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.
This time the clan lost miserably.
He didn't want to talk to Jiang Yifeng.
Jiang Yifeng didn't care, pointed to the main seat in the main hall, grinned at Su Yingxue, "You can sit in that seat now."
"Um!"
Su Yingxue nodded slightly and sat on the main seat under the gaze of all the clan members.
"Congratulations to Miss Su, congratulations to Miss Su."
Zhao Xu cupped his hands towards Su Yingxue, and then asked: "Miss Su, can we talk about the cooperation between our two families now?"
here we go again!
Su Yingxue had a headache. She really didn't want to cooperate with the Zhao family, let alone share the coal mine business with other families.
The problem is, Zhao Xu helped in this matter, and he can't refuse like he did before.
Then, she looked at Jiang Yifeng.
For some unknown reason, whenever she encounters trouble now, she instinctively wants to ask Jiang Yifeng for help.
Jiang Yifeng thought for a while and said, "Xue Xue, since the Zhao family leader sincerely wants to cooperate with us, we just agree to him. After all, one more friend is better than one more enemy."
Su Yingxue understood what Jiang Yifeng meant, looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Let's talk about it then!"
Zhao Xu said excitedly: "What we discussed before was that five hundred thousand taels of silver accounted for 40%. Now I take a step back and five hundred thousand taels of silver account for 30%. What do you think, Miss Su?"
Su Yingxue thought about it in her mind, shook her head and said, "Master Zhao, if you sincerely cooperate, you can only get 10% of the five hundred thousand taels of silver."
