Lin Twelve's face was ugly, and he grasped that they were clan relatives, "Ninth sister, we are relatives and friends of the same clan......

"Even if my eldest brother is alive, he will have to pay the money that should be paid to the court." Lin Qingwan lowered her face coldly, "What is an official?" For the country, the army and the people, I am willing to take care of my relatives, but it is impossible to harm the interests of the country to take care of you. I Lin Qingwan thinks that I can still distinguish between public and private. ”

She said solemnly: "Since Your Majesty is willing to hand over the Imperial Court to me, I will naturally do my best instead of letting it become a means of making profits. ”

As he was talking, someone came to report, "Grandma, Master Qian and Master Sheng are here." ”

"Invite them in," Lin Qingwan turned back to Lin Twelve and the others, "Aren't you complaining that I didn't take care of you?" I'm going to show you today whether I've taken care of you or not. ”

After that, he got up to greet Master Qian and Master Sheng.

The Qian family and the Sheng family are both well-known merchants in Suzhou, but they are only in the middle and upper reaches in the entire Jiangnan, especially the Sheng family.

Their family had bought all the tea estates from the Lin family before, and they wanted to show their strength, but they were coerced and lured by Zhao Sheng to buy the most important one.

The Zhao family was investigated, because the selling price of the tea house was too low, so that their Sheng family was also suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and they were investigated before.

What businessmen are most afraid of is that they have to do with the lawsuit, not to mention that it is still this kind of big case of collaborating with the enemy, so in order to get out of the family, the Sheng family gave up a lot of money before.

The Western Expedition was fighting, and the grain and grass were insufficient, and the Sheng family also donated a batch of food from the particularly clever Xuelin Qingwan, so this day was better.

For this reason, they gave up the restaurant in Yangzhou, and now they have shrunk in Suzhou and have not gone out.

As soon as Lin Qingwan shouted, Master Sheng personally supported the sick body, and he was afraid that the affairs of the Zhao family would involve him, but when he saw Master Qian at the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that the relationship between Master Qian and the Lin family had always been good, and even Mrs. Qian could talk to Lin Qingwan, since Master Qian was also present, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

Master Sheng nervously followed Master Qian into the door, and when he saw Lin Qingwan coming to greet him in person, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "The two masters don't have to be polite, but there is something important to discuss when they rashly invite the two of them." ”

Master Qian glanced at the Lin family on the other side, and said with a smile: "The county lord has something to do, just give orders, and I will do what I can do." ”

Master Sheng also saw Lin Shi and the others, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, the county lord has something to ask, we will do our best." ”

Recently, the Lin family got three road guides and made a lot of noise, I heard that in order to prepare the goods, they also borrowed a lot of money from the bank, and the two thought that Lin Qingwan was here for Lin Shi's goods, so they hinted that they could borrow some of the goods on credit.

The Qian family is mainly engaged in the silk business, while the Sheng family is in the tea business, whether it is silk or tea is the best-selling commodity in the mutual market, the Lin family has recently bought a lot with them.

Lin Qingwan's eyes stared, knowing that Lin Shi and the others were acting in her name outside, and glanced at them, she turned her head and smiled at Master Qian and Master Sheng: "The two masters are righteous, even so, I, Lin Qingwan, will not let the two masters waste their affection." ”

She handed over the two handwritten letters pressed under her hand, and said: "In the past, I didn't have any extra road guides in my hands, so I couldn't take care of the folks in Suzhou, but there are two extra places, I don't know if the two masters are interested?" ”

Master Qian and Master Sheng took it in a daze, and only after half a ring did they react to Lin Qingwan's meaning, and hurriedly took it and said: "The county lord is willing to think about me and wait, and I am grateful." ”

Master Qian smiled even more: "Master Sheng and I knew that we couldn't rob others, so we didn't go to the capital, but I didn't expect this pie to fall on our heads, I really don't know how to be grateful to the county lord." ”

So if you have any requirements, we will try to achieve them.

Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "It's also your fate, my cousins couldn't make up a deposit of 100,000 taels, so these two handwritten letters were transferred to you." ”

Master Qian and Master Sheng looked at each other, did they want them to help out the deposit of 100,000 taels?

It's not impossible, it's just ......

Lin Qingwan changed her words and said: "The two masters also know that in addition to the deposit of 100,000 taels, this road guide will also get some money, I don't know if the two of you have difficulties?" ”

Master Qian and Master Sheng immediately perked up, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the county lord, I will send the other 50,000 taels of money to buy the road guide later, and there is also a generous gift for the county lord." ”

Master Sheng gritted his teeth and was about to pay the deposit of 100,000 taels, after all, the Sheng family was not as big as before, and this was an opportunity for them to get back on their feet.

He still took out the deposit of 100,000 taels for the Lin family.

Who knew that Lin Qingwan nodded with a smile, turned her head and looked at the Lin family's people with a cold face, and asked, "See, the money to buy the road guide is 50,000 taels, not 20,000 taels." ”

Master Sheng had already jumped to his lips and choked back again, and sat aside with his eyes down and pretended to be stunned.

Master Qian was also keenly aware that something was wrong, this didn't look like he was giving Lin Shi a favor to them?

Both of them were silent, but everyone's eyes fell on Lin Shi and the others, and the expressions of several people were wrong when Lin Qingwan handed over the handwritten letter to Master Qian and Master Sheng, and it was even more ugly at this time.

Lin Qingwan was unceremoniously angry in front of Master Qian and Master Sheng: "Throw me all the shame to the capital!" ”

Lin Qingwan's eyes flickered with a cold light, and she asked with a sneer, "I've been in Beijing for many days, but I don't even know how much it costs to buy a road guide, I should be glad that you didn't change to a road guide, otherwise I don't know how to pit my Lin family in the future!" ”

"Think the back door is that easy to get through?" Lin Qingwan turned her head and said to Yi Han: "Go and find out, who came forward to receive them when they went to the Lifan Courtyard, 120,000 taels, he will accept it, where did the remaining 30,000 taels go?" ”

"Three road guides are 90,000 taels, and this pen is all counted on my head," Lin Qingwan pointed to their noses and scolded: "You think that my official position as the official secretary of the Li Fan Yuan was blown by the wind, and you can do whatever you want, don't you?" ”

Lin Qingwan pointed at Lin Shi's nose and scolded, "Idiot! ”

He pointed at Lin Twelve and scolded: "Ignorance! No wonder my father and brother don't look down on you, if the next generation can't help you like this, my Lin family will give up the first position in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, so as not to block the way of others! ”

"Sister Wan!" Lin Run couldn't help but glance at the embarrassed Master Qian and Master Sheng, and said lightly: "Old ten, they will reflect when they go back." ”

Lin Qingwan sneered, "Reflection? Didn't the fifth brother see their aggressive appearance just now? If it weren't for Master Qian and Master Sheng here, they wouldn't want to take me to the Lifan Yuan to guide them immediately, right? ”

"Speaking of this, I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, from today on, I won't use your power, and you don't use my power, if anyone is bullying people outside in my name for profit, don't let me know, once I know, I don't look at the face of my nephews, and I will be punished!" Lin Qingwan hated iron and steel, pointed at their noses and scolded: "Why do they have a father like you? ”

Lin Twelve and the others had ugly faces.

Lin Qingwan had already said apologetically to Master Qian and Master Sheng: "Let the two masters laugh." ”

"Where, where," Master Qian and Master Sheng hurriedly bowed down and said, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is not peaceful in our family." ”

Lin Run had already turned his head to Lin Shi and the others: "Let's go back first." ”

Lin Shi and the others' faces changed again and again, and they looked at the envelopes in the hands of Master Qian and Master Sheng, but they didn't move.

Master Qian and Master Sheng laughed dryly, and also clenched the envelope in their hands.

Lin Qingwan got up directly and said, "The two masters might as well stay and have lunch together." ”

Then he turned sideways and asked the two of them to go out.

Master Qian and Master Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they still had something to say, and hurriedly said: "I don't need lunch, there are still some important matters at home, we have to go back to deal with it first, and come back another day to ask the county lord for peace." ”

They didn't want to stay, and when they went out, Lin Qingwan was always embarrassed to ask for this letter back, right?

When it comes to the benefits in hand, how can they possibly let it out again?

Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "It's okay, since the two masters have something, let's go back first, and we'll get together another day." ”

After the two of them left, Lin Qingwan turned around and looked at a few people: "What, still not convinced?" ”

Lin Twelve and the others pursed their lips and did not speak.

Lin Qingwan sneered and said, "Fifth brother has nothing to say to them? ”

Lin Run sighed and said, "Do you think it only costs 50,000 taels to buy a road guide?" ”

He snapped his fingers and said: "Fifty thousand taels is the amount on the account, if you want to do it, you must move around, and you will get silver if you move around. If you earn it but don't know it, it's no wonder that those guests in the capital will laugh at you. ”

"This is what the fifth brother said, all of which are nice words," Lin Qingwan sneered: "If you want me to say, the words are not so good." I mentioned the deposit of 100,000 taels, in order to prevent some people from taking the road and not doing anything, and Daliang was able to negotiate peace with Liao, and a large part of it relied on the mutual market, so I must ensure the operation of the mutual market. ”

"And as long as there are enough goods shipped to the mutual market, the scale of the mutual market can be guaranteed, and there is a deposit of 100,000 taels in front, who dares not to be dissatisfied?" Lin Qingwan said: "You are all my clansmen, not to say that you support me, but to drag me back, you are the same for those children in the clan?" ”

"If that's the case, which kind of official they are still allowed to be, anyway, sooner or later they will be dismissed and investigated by you, so go home and farm as soon as possible." Lin Qingwan said angrily: "There are also those children who are studying and preparing for the imperial examination, they don't have to study anymore, they will be affected by their father and uncle anyway, why suffer now?" ”

Lin Twelve and the others' faces became more and more pale, and they finally wavered, and lowered their heads with ugly faces.

Lin Qingwan didn't let them go, and continued: "What does it mean that the official has given you less than 30,000 taels? Didn't you think about it yourself? Fortunately, you didn't get the guide this time, otherwise it would not be you who I would have been waiting for at home, but Yushitai! ”

"Your Majesty hates corrupt people the most, aren't you trying to trap me in unkindness and injustice?"
