Chapter 30: The Patriarch's Position
"Keep your dog's eyes open and see what this is!"
Lin Mu stepped forward and took out the official card sent by Ran Yun, and when he set off, he casually took the official card with him, but he didn't expect to use it now.
The leader of the Han family is Han Yitao, the younger brother of Han County Ling, who was startled when he looked at the official card in Lin Mu's hand, their Han family is an official, and they know the official card, especially Lin Mu's official card also says that the palace attendant talks about this official position.
"It turned out that Lin Shi from Duanwangfu said that the little dog's eyes didn't know Mount Tai, and I hoped that Lin Shi said that the prime minister could hold the boat in his belly, so he thought that the little one was farting just now." Han Yitao's expression suddenly changed from ferocious to flattery.
Jiangning City is not far from Hexian County, he heard the news that Duan Wang opened his mansion in Jiangning last year, this Duan Wang is the third prince of the dynasty, and he may not be able to become the emperor in the future.
If this is the case, this Lin servant has a great future, how can he be offended by a small county order of the Han family.
"You understand the best, if you dare to bully our Lin family in the future, don't blame the official for making you unable to eat and walk around." Lin Mu said sharply, it is useless to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality to these people, the most direct way is to let them understand that the Lin family they can't afford to provoke.
"Yes, yes, yes." Han Yitao became more and more humble, turned around and yelled at the more than 300 Han family disciples behind him: "What are you still doing here, don't go back, it will make Lin Shi unhappy, I will pick your skin when I go back." ”
The children of the Han family dispersed in a hurry when they heard this, and Han Yitao continued to accompany the smiling face: "Lin Shi said, we and the Lin family are familiar with the misunderstanding, and the younger one will take his brother to apologize in person." “
After saying that, Han Yitao bowed and ran away with the children of the Han family.
"Lin Shi said?" Lin Qing and Lin Yang were also a little confused, they never thought that Lin Mu would become an official of the Chinese Dynasty.
Turning around, Lin Mu said to Lin Qing: "Second uncle, this is too long, let my nephew speak slowly, now you should take a look at the letter left by your father." “
As he spoke, Lin Mu handed the letter that Lin Shu had left for him to Lin Qing.
A year ago, Lin Qing and Lin Yang were kicked out of the Lin family's compound by Lin Shu, and the two returned to the ancestral land of the Lin family in He County in a fit of anger, planning to ignore the eldest brother's family affairs again.
After Lin Shu's accident, they had suspected that their brother was deliberate, but they couldn't be sure.
"It's Big Brother's Note!" Lin Qing tore open the envelope and recognized Lin Shu's handwriting at a glance.
After reading through the letter, Lin Yang suddenly howled and cried, "Big brother, the foolish brother knows that you drove us out of the Lin family compound so that our two families were not implicated, we are sorry for you." “
Lin Qing didn't lose his temper like Lin Yang, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, "Big brother, you also look down on our two brothers too much, we once said that we will share weal and woe, and help through thick and thin, how can you bear to leave the two of us first!" “
The two were sad for a while, and Lin Qing thought of Lin Mu, and couldn't help asking, "Da Lang, do you have anything else to do when you come back this time besides handing over the letter to us?" ”
Among the three brothers of the Lin family, his second uncle Lin Qing's shrewdness was not below his father, and Lin Mu naturally knew that he couldn't hide it.
He was about to speak, when the third uncle Lin Yang said to Lin Qing dissatisfiedly: "Second brother, Lin Mu just came back and helped us out of the siege, why didn't you invite Lin Mu to go home and sit down, why did you still interrogate." ”
Lin Qing suddenly realized that it was inappropriate, and he said apologetically: "Yes, yes, I forgot about this excitement, Da Lang, let's go home and talk about it." ”
After that, Lin Qing led Lin Mu towards the Lin family village, and the children of the Lin family looked at Lin Mu curiously and whispered.
Since Lin Shu left Linjiazhuang and went to Jiangning City, basically he only gets together with the Lin clan when he comes back to worship his ancestors every year, and Lin Mu comes back even less, so many Lin clansmen are not particularly familiar with Lin Mu.
"That's it." In front of a courtyard, Lin Qing stopped.
Lin Mu came back rarely, but he also remembered this, and walked into the courtyard with Lin Qing and Lin Yang and sat down in the front hall, he got straight to the point and said the purpose of his return.
"All in all, the nephew came back this time to invite the second and third uncles to Jiangning City to re-strengthen our Lin family's industry, and the other is for the sake of group training, no one can say whether Jin Bing will go south, and the Lin clan can only survive if they are united."
The news of the Jin soldiers' southward movement made Lin Qing and Lin Yang's expressions solemn, Lin Qing said: "In the past, every time the Jin soldiers made trouble at the border, the imperial court would order the Jiangning Mansion to hold a group training, and your father had also called the children of the Lin family to participate in military training every day, but in the past, our Lin family still had some savings in their hands, but now where is the silver to forge armor and weapons for the children of the family." ”
When Lin Mu entered the courtyard, he felt that the second uncle's family was not rich, and the number of servants was not as good as his current Lin Mansion.
In fact, in the past, the business in the Lin family's compound was only a small business, otherwise his father would not have risked his money to take this military order.
Because he lost all the silver in the military order, his father did not have much silver to distribute to Lin Qing and Lin Yang at that time, and when he returned to the ancestral land of the Lin family, the two took on the responsibility of the entire Lin family, and the only silver in their hands was probably used to help the poor clansmen.
After all, as the main lineage of the Lin clan, while having a respected status among the Lin clan, he also has to bear more responsibilities.
"The second uncle doesn't have to worry about the silver, the nephew is short of manpower precisely because the business is too big." Lin Mu said.
Lin Yang's mind is simple, and when he heard this, he said happily. "The tiger father has no dogs, if the eldest brother is in the spirit of the sky, he will be relieved to see you carry forward the Lin family."
"Too big? How big is it? Lin Qing was a little unconvinced, he had always been suspicious.
At this time, Uncle Zhang replied: "Second master, third master, you may not believe it, the young master only took a month to earn 60,000 taels of silver, this is just a deposit, after completing the order, a weaving workshop can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for our Lin family." “
"Sixty thousand taels!" Lin Yang stood up directly, and the teacup in his hand was sprinkled with water.
Lin Qing's serious image that he had always maintained couldn't hold it at this time, and he also spilled tea on the ground, looking stunned.
"Second uncle, third uncle, don't get excited, this is just a weaving workshop, and then my nephew still has a lot of industries to do, and the silver in the future will only be more, not less, but the nephew is lonely in Jiangning City, yesterday Liu Kun of Liu's cloth shop also brought someone to the door to smash his nephew's weaving workshop, saying that the nephew blocked their financial route, and I don't know who is jealous of the nephew in the future, and wants to think crookedly, hey." When Lin Mu said this, he swept his eyes at Lin Qing and Lin Yang's expressions.
Everyone likes to talk about face, Lin Mu always has to find a step for the two of them to go to Jiangning City logically, otherwise he is afraid that he will be pointed at his back and said that they are greedy for wealth.
"It's worth it! Although our Lin family is not a big family, we don't say that anyone can bully us, second brother, we can't sit idly by. "Lin Yang is angry.
Lin Qing stared at Lin Mu, and suddenly laughed, "Third brother, Da Lang is looking for us to go down the stairs, with his current identity as a servant of the Duanwang Mansion, there are a few people in this country who dare to provoke him without long eyes, that's it, that's it, your father went, now you are the head of the Lin family, and now you have spoken, this is the clan order, and we will obey it." ”
Lin Mu nodded slightly, his second uncle was not ordinarily shrewd, admitting that he was the patriarch of the Lin clan, and all this problem was solved.
