Chapter 49: The Fiscal Crisis
Chen Lin looked at the luck value and snickered, Chen Lin can already meet the sad life after the fourth elder brother, in history, the fourth elder brother became the emperor, there are many fluke factors, if it weren't for the previous few elder brothers, the fight was too serious, the strength was consumed, and the fourth elder brother picked up the cheap, whether the fourth elder brother could become the emperor is not necessarily.
Now that Chen Lin has suddenly pushed the fourth elder brother to the forefront, the fourth elder brother wants to hibernate and develop his power, and the road of strengthening himself may not work. Chen Lin won't give the fourth elder brother a chance to develop with peace of mind, otherwise where will Chen Lin's luck come from?
Because Chen Lin was in a good mood, she prepared a lot of delicious food in the kitchen, such as ginseng chicken soup, bird's nest and so on. Chen Lin plans to do his part for the finances of the fourth elder brother and eat the poor fourth elder brother! Chen Lin will never admit that he is a foodie, just spending more money on the fourth elder brother for his own plan. Well, that's absolutely it.
Sifujin didn't stop Chen Lin's behavior, after all, Chen Lin was very obedient, although this made the fourth elder brother's mansion spend a little more, but Sifujin wouldn't be able to get along with Chen Lin because of this bit of silver, and others thought that the fourth elder brother's mansion couldn't even afford a woman.
However, the finances of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion are really stretched, and the Fourth Elder Brother is secretly developing his forces, and he needs silver to attract talents, otherwise who will give you his life? Especially when there is a loss in the performance of the task, the settling-in allowance is a large amount of money, and you can't afford not to give it, otherwise don't think that someone will sell you your life in the future.
A large part of the dowry of Sifujin has been given to the fourth elder brother, as well as the silver left by Queen Tong before her death, otherwise the fourth elder brother's mansion would not be able to function. However, it is still very difficult to make ends meet in such a state, and the fourth elder brother is also very troubled, as the wife of the fourth elder brother, Sifujin naturally has to find a way.
Chen Lin has long known that the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion cannot make ends meet, and in the book, Shu Ya has dedicated a large sum of silver, so that the Fourth Elder Brother can develop with peace of mind. But now Shu Ya's business is suppressed by herself, and she can't make much money at all. Because of Chen Lin, she didn't think about making money anymore, so Shu Ya couldn't help the fourth elder brother this time.
Chen Lin is rich, but Chen Lin can't wait to eat the mentality of the poor fourth elder brother, can Chen Lin be an enemy? How is that possible.
It's okay now, the fourth elder brother's mansion can still be operated, and after a few months, I'm afraid it will be really stretched, I don't know if I can still eat such a delicious meal by then, Chen Lin thought while drinking rock sugar bird's nest.
Sifujin, is already trying to find a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure, although it really has some effect, but the effect is really not big, but because of Sifujin's actions, the various benefits of women in the backyard are a lot less, everyone is not happy, those who have a dowry are okay, those who do not have a dowry The standard of living has dropped a lot all of a sudden, and they all think that Fujin will deduct himself.
However, the women in the backyard didn't dare to mess with Fu Jin, after all, Fu Jin's reasons were very sufficient, what did they say to support the master, what if they made trouble and provoked the disgust of the master?
At this time, the wind was calm, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Lin had already received the luck value, he would have thought that the plan would not be successful. The eldest brother got such important news, so he naturally wanted to find out the truth of the matter first, if he was smashed, it would be really embarrassing, after all, the maid who delivered the news was from the ninth elder brother's mansion, and he was not the one they bought, so it was better to be careful.
However, the eldest brother's investigation is really shocking, the fourth brother is really hiding too deeply, if he hadn't gotten the news, he really wouldn't have been able to find out that the hidden power of the fourth brother is so powerful. Fortunately, the person who delivered the news had already pointed out some of them, otherwise the people sent by the big brother wouldn't even be able to find out the clues, how could they not surprise the big brother.
If the eldest brother just wanted to make the prince lose face and break a left and right hand, now the eldest brother really regards the fourth brother as an opponent. It's so good at hiding, and the power is not bad, if you and the prince lose both, can the fourth child come out and take advantage?
The eldest brother's guess is really not wrong, the fourth elder brother really did this in history, and waited for the Eighth Elder Brother Party and the Fourteenth Elder Brother Party to fight each other and come out to take advantage of each other. Who told the fourth elder brother to always show no intention of the throne, only willing to be a virtuous king, and offended many ministers, so that a few elder brothers ignored it?
They all forgot one point, that is, the fourth elder brother's approach, although he did not get the support of many ministers, but he could get Kangxi's trust, after all, the prince who was too close to the minister was easy to get Kangxi's suspicion, so he could be suppressed.
What about the eighth elder brother winning the hearts of the people, such a support from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty has violated Kangxi's taboo, and it is naturally to be suppressed. The fourth elder brother's approach gave him more opportunities, and the rest of the brothers would only win him over, instead of suppressing him, and he would be able to develop in secret.
Since the eldest brother knows the true face of the fourth elder brother, he naturally wants to get rid of the fourth elder brother first, even if he can't get rid of it, he must make the fourth elder brother's hidden development action impossible to achieve. The eldest brother doesn't want to make a wedding dress for others, he really wants this position, and everyone works together with their skills.
Although the eldest brother has a straightforward personality, he is not stupid, and he still knows how to do it better for himself. However, this matter can't be done by yourself, it's best for the prince to do it, although now he and the prince are in competition, but if the prince knows that the fourth brother he trusts is not a good one, the prince is afraid that he wants to suppress the fourth elder brother more than himself.
Of course, maybe the prince didn't trust the fourth elder brother much in the first place, after all, the fourth brother is half a sister-in-law, so he doesn't believe that the prince is not a little guarded. It's just that the fourth elder brother hid too deeply, and the prince didn't see anything wrong. In a few days, I will send a big gift to the prince, and I believe that the prince will thank him.
The first step plan was very successful, and Chen Lin planned to make persistent efforts, although now the fourth elder brother couldn't see anything at all except for the secret guard. But the finances of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion are also very problematic, if Chen Lin cuts off the financial resources of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, it can also give the Fourth Elder Brother a big blow, without money, many of the Fourth Elder Brother's plans cannot be implemented.
In fact, this Chen Lin has already achieved half of the success, and the blow to the business with Shu Ya has completely lost the income that the fourth elder brother should have. But this is not enough, if Chen Lin didn't have it, Sifujin finally came up with an idea, that is, to take Shangjia's daughter as a concubine, collect a high dowry, and some Shangjia's financial support.
Although this has some damage to the reputation of the fourth elder brother, it is also a good way to solve the problem of financial difficulties, Chen Lin naturally can't let the fourth elder brother succeed, as long as there is no money, the fourth elder brother will not be able to turn over any storms.
