After the heavy snowfall, Father Lin specially chose an auspicious day to gather everyone in the Lin family, even Li Zheng, to witness the separation of the family.
Father Lin first brought everyone in the Lin family to worship their ancestors, and then said through the ancestral hall, "I called everyone here today because of the separation of my family's family. Let everyone come to be a witness."
Li Zheng was the first to speak and said, "Since Mr. Lin called me to come, I'll make it a point to be a witness here."
Father Lin hurriedly said: "There is Laurie Zheng." Someone moved the chair and asked Lizheng to sit down.
Ri Zheng nodded and sat down beside him.
As the younger brother, Second Uncle Lin also expressed his opinion: "Brother, you are the head of the family, and you have the final say on the division of the family. The third brother and I have no objection."
Uncle Lin also said: "That's right."
Father Lin nodded, and said: "My Lin family has developed to this day. The big house has a total of fifty-nine salt houses, including 1.2 million taels of silver, 8,000 acres of land, 120 grain houses, pawnshops and antiques. There are 98 shops, 800,000 taels of silver in public, one ancestral house and one Wujin house.
Among them, the salt name is the foundation of my Lin family, and the silver in the salt account needs to be purchased for Yanyin, and it cannot be moved lightly, so this time the division of the family will not be divided for the time being. After a hundred years of my life, the salt name will be passed on to my eldest son Lin Ze according to the rules. The second son, Lin Qing, gets a three-point dividend from it every year. Do you two disagree? "
Everyone immediately looked at the two brothers Lin Ze and Lin Qing.
Of course Lin Ze had no objection, he took the lead, so he turned to look at Lin Qing.
Lin Qing thought for a while, this is equivalent to having a company in his family, this company cannot be divided, wait until his father a hundred years later, his brother will inherit the position of chairman of the company, he will be a director, his brother will get 70% of the shares , he gets thirty percent. Although it seemed that he was at a disadvantage, but thinking that he would do nothing to help and his brother was as tired as a dog every day, Lin Qing felt that it was right to give his brother more.
Lin Qing said to Father Lin: "Daddy, my son has no objection!"
Since Lin Qing has no objection, then everyone naturally has no objection. After all, it is his fault that the division is made.
Father Lin saw Lin Qing agreeing, and nodded in satisfaction. As expected of his son, although he was a little lazy on weekdays, he was very sensible when encountering major events. The salt number is the foundation of the Lin family. If it is divided equally every time, it is easy to disperse power and cause civil strife in the family.
"The matter of Yanhao is settled like this." Father Lin thought for a while, and then added: "The income of Yanhao from now on to my hundred years later will be placed in another warehouse, and after my hundred years, the two brothers will share equally. "
Lin Ze and Lin Qing nodded and said, "Yes, father."
"Then let's start to divide the family property." Father Lin continued: "Qing'er suffered a little when the family business was divided just now, but since ancient times, the family business has been passed on to the eldest son. , Ze¡¯er, you suffer a bit, the rest of the property, Ze¡¯er, you three, Qing¡¯er, seven. Ze¡¯er, you have any objection.¡±
Lin Ze quickly said, "My son has no objection."
The most valuable thing in the Lin family is Yanhao, and he has the majority of it. Naturally, he has to make up for his younger brother in terms of property.
Father Lin nodded in satisfaction, and said, "In this case, please Li Zheng to divide the land deed and the shop, and let the two children take it."
Lizheng slowly stood up and boasted: "I have long heard that the two brothers of the Lin family are sensible and sensible. When I saw them today, they really deserved their reputation. You are so lucky to be able to keep your mind calm in front of such wealth."
What Lizheng said was the truth. Since he became Lizheng, he has witnessed no less than a hundred times of family separations, big and small. Every time he didn't see the whole family fighting each other, and even fighting each other, so the most troublesome thing for him was It is to witness the separation of the family to others, but as Li Zheng, this is his job, and he has to do it.
After listening to Li Zheng's praise, Father Lin felt that his child was indeed sensible and affectionate, but he still said modestly on his face: "Where is it, Li Zheng laughed."
Now that Lin's father had finished what he was supposed to say, the two children of the Lin family had no objections, and it was much easier for Lizheng to deal with it. He himself was in charge of paying royalties and taxes, and knew these lands and shops very well, so he dealt with them. It was even more handy. After a while, he divided the land deed and the shop into two parts, put them in two boxes, and said to Father Lin:
"The old man has already divided the property and shop into two at the current market price. Master Lin may wish to take a look to see if there is anything wrong with it."
Father Lin took the box, handed it directly to his brothers Lin Ze and Lin Qing, and said, "Let's take a look!"??Even if she sees it through, she is more willing to do this. After all, once the family is separated this time, the identity of the elder brother and the young master will be stable. She is the next generation of the Lin family. Earn it in a few years, and with a few years of hard work, you can get power at least 20 years in advance. Both the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law are very happy. If you don¡¯t believe me, wait until tomorrow. The eldest brother and sister-in-law must be very happy. Treat us It must be better three points, the husband and wife are of the same temperament. "
Wang Yan was relieved immediately after hearing this, and said with a smile: "You two brothers are interesting, one loves power and the other loves money, it's really hard for the father-in-law to divide the family and take care of the two, but the father-in-law is like this, it can be regarded as a different kind of bowl of water." draw."
"That's not it," Lin Qing said while lying on the kang, "Raising a child for a hundred years is a long time to worry about ninety-nine times. It took a lot of thought for my father to separate the family this time."
"By the way, Lin's family has 800,000 taels of silver. Daddy said that he left 200,000 taels for his own expenses. The remaining 600,000 taels will be divided into 400,000 taels for our family, and 200,000 taels for the elder brother's family. Yes, as for the silver in the salt bank, that cannot be moved. We have two houses, this one is the ancestral house, for my brother, and ours is the five-entry house next to it. Although it is slightly smaller than this one, it is Dad specially built it four years ago, and gave it to us, and when you get the money, you can take care of it, and when the spring is warmer, we will move there."
After Wang Yan heard that she could move out and be the master of the house, she would not be unhappy, so she quickly said: "Erlang, don't worry, I will definitely tidy up before the spring begins."
Lin Qing pushed the box over again and said, "You keep these as well. After the land property shop inside collects the rent, put them in the kilometer of our second room, so they will be useful in the future."
Wang Yan was immediately overwhelmed by flattery, and quickly declined, saying: "This is the husband's, and I can let the concubine keep it anyway." This is the family's financial power!
Lin Qing smiled and said: "You are my wife, what is yours and mine in the family, if you tell you to take it, you can take it. Anyway, when there is more money, it will be saved for you and my children."
Wang Yan felt sweet after hearing this, thinking that her husband had never asked her about her dowry since she got married, and now that she got money from the family division, and gave it to her immediately, she suddenly felt a little ashamed of her husband's trust, and hurriedly said : "Erlang, don't worry, when I was in my mother's house, I also learned to take care of finances from my parents since I was a child, and I will definitely take care of the house."
Lin Qingxin said: You have been married for more than two months, I can't see that you are good at accounting, even better than me, why should I give it to you!
Lin Qing directly stuffed the box into the arms of his daughter-in-law, and said, "Then I will wait for you to save a big treasury for our child!"
When Wang Yan heard Lin Qing mentioning the child, she said shyly, "That also depends on your hard work, Erlang!"
Lin Qing scratched his head for a moment, laughed and said, "We will work hard next year."
Wang Yan rolled Lin Qing's eyes, opened the box again, and told Lin Qing about her plan: "I saw that these pawnshops and grain shops are very prosperous, no matter renting or taking care of them. It¡¯s no problem, the money we earn every year is enough for our family to spend, as for the land property, I think the annual rent can be saved, and I can keep buying land, which is not only safe, but also can continue to collect rent.¡±
Lin Qing nodded after listening. In ancient times, it was indeed more secure to be a landlord than to be a businessman.
Wang Yan took out several land deeds and told Lin Qing about how much rent he could collect and how much tax he would pay to the court.
"One tenth of the tax, so heavy?" Lin Qing asked in surprise, don't listen to the fact that paying one tenth feels like a small amount, but there were many taxes in ancient times, such as head tax, green crop tax, spring tax, summer tax, and autumn tax , silkworm tax
Wang Yan said strangely: "There have always been so many!"
Lin Qing calculated the taxes on his 5,000 mu of land, dizzy, this is simply an astronomical figure! Moreover, he only collected two-tenths of the total rent, and he actually had to hand over half of it to the country!
?Thinking of his father being bedridden in the last life, there were several Juren in their clan, so the whole clan was exempt from tax.
Lin Qing suddenly felt that he should go to the Juren examination again, and even try his best to become a Jinshi.
Damn it, a Jinshi saves a lot! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
