Old Man Lin laughed and said: "Since His Royal Highness has spoken, this Feng County is originally our neighboring county with a strip of water, in fact, Cao County ordered you to open your mouth, and we are not without money." ”

Cao Jingyuan frowned slightly when he said this, how could an arrogant person like him ask for money?

Chen Mou smiled faintly, these people thought they were relieved, it seemed that no one expected that this was a Hongmen banquet with no return.

Old Man Luo waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, then I will donate 300 taels of silver on behalf of our Luo family!"

Fang Ling almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard it, and when he saw that his momentum stopped, he waved his big hand, as if he wanted to donate tens of thousands of taels of silver, but the thunder and rain were small, and it was only three hundred taels, and he was really stingy when he got home, so he shook his head and said: "This king heard that the Luo family has a great fortune, and you only donated 300 taels of old man Luo, and I am afraid that this amount will damage your reputation." ”

Hearing Fang Ling say this, Old Man Lin became happy, and laughed heartily: "Your Highness is right, Old Man Luo is indeed too stingy, our Lin family donated 600 taels!"

Old Man Luo snorted heavily: "You groom, you know how to raise the bar! Okay, since you pay 600 taels, then our Luo family will also pay 600 taels!"

"Then our Chen family will pay 500 taels. ”

"Our Xu family is out of 400 taels. ”

The patriarch of the Zhongwang clan said in a few words, Fang Ling suddenly laughed, as if he had heard a joke, everyone couldn't help but shut up, and looked at him suspiciously.

Fang Ling smiled, and then said to Old Man Luo: "The Luo family has more than 6,000 acres of land in Xihe County, and they can receive 3,600 taels of silver every year just for collecting rent, in addition, there are more than 60 shops including Qinglou and gambling houses, and they have a livelihood in other counties and counties, and it is roughly estimated that they can make a profit of tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. And your family employs a total of 20 nursing homes and 40 maids, of which the nursing home is 3 taels of silver per month, and the maids are 1 tael and 30 yuan per month, which is 112 taels of silver per month. The brocade silk cloth and medicinal materials purchased every month are at least 300 taels, in addition, there are also various kinds of money used by family members, and the monthly expenditure is nearly 1,000 taels. And Mr. Luo, you only donated 600 taels, isn't this a joke?"

As soon as he said this, not only Old Man Luo was really stunned, but the other patriarchs were also stunned, no one expected that Fang Ling knew everything about the Luo family's assets.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Ling smiled at Old Man Lin again: "The Lin family has the largest horse farm in Maling County, which has more than 800 horses, including more than 600 ordinary horses, each worth at least 100 taels, and more than 200 good horses, each worth three or four hundred taels. The profit from selling horses alone is no worse than that of the Luo family, not to mention, in addition to the horse farm, the Lin family also operates inns, wine shops, etc., and the annual profit is also tens of thousands of two hundred silver. ”

Old Man Lin frowned slightly, his face darkened, and he said with obvious displeasure: "I didn't expect His Highness to come here not long ago, but he was quite familiar with the situation of our Lin family!"

When he said this, he didn't say it to Fang Ling, but to Yu Zhengqi.

Yu Zhengqi's face changed, and he knew that Old Man Lin thought he had leaked it, so he hurriedly waved his hand, but it was not easy to distinguish anything on such an occasion.
