Chapter 4 Huizhu Country
After the transaction was completed, Lin Fengjin went to see Li Hu, and after the two talked in detail, Lin Fengjin also grasped an exact number, that is, since the Lin family began to rely on the Tian family, the huge network derived from the interests generated by their own family has intricately involved nearly 100 officials!
This number sounds a bit frightening, but it is technically a small amount, because there are direct beneficiaries and indirect beneficiaries among them. For example, a seven-rank imperial historian received silver money from the Tian family, and this money may be used for consumption, but it may also be used to honor Shangguan.
If it is said to be used to honor Shangguan, Shangguan will naturally receive his affection, then this person's right to speak will become heavier, and then when this Qipin Capital Yushi helps the Tian family speak, his Shangguan can't help but consider the relevant opinions and make actions that are beneficial to the Tian family. Then this Shangguan is naturally an indirect beneficiary, and he was unconsciously dragged down by the silver taken out by the Tian family.
There is no doubt that the extension of this relationship network is really beyond Lin Fengjin's imagination, and according to Li Hu's analysis, the 100,000 taels of silver that Lin Fengjin sent this time, plus the 18,000 taels of silver earned from selling goods, is indeed a charcoal in the snow, Lin Fengjin pondered for a while, and then said to Li Hu:
"You arrange it, I want to see Tian Zhuguo. ”
Li Hu was stunned, Lin Fengjin faked his death in front of Commander Tian that day, although everyone tacitly agreed, but this layer of paper was not pierced, Lin Fengjin suddenly proposed to see Tian Zhuguo, the old fox, he arranged it without any major problems, but he was a little worried about Lin Fengjin's safety.
Lin Fengjin saw Li Hu's hesitation, and said with a smile:
"Don't you have any scruples, do I look like that kind of stunned youth? It's just that the turmoil I caused in Fangkang County last time is estimated to have also blown to Xiangdu's side, and the old man Tian is cunning and cunning, if he doesn't add more weight, maybe he will have to cross the river and tear down the bridge. ”
Although Li Hu's words to Lin Fengjin were specious. didn't understand it very well, but he also knew that Lin Fengjin was the kind of person who planned and then acted, so he went to contact the Tian family according to his words, and Tian Zhuguo, who had the news that came, was also very interested in seeing Lin Fengjin, so he made an appointment in the afternoon.
Tianfu is not very magnificent, the only feature is that it covers a wide area, because there is no garden or anything inside, but there is a solid martial arts arena, which does not lose the true character of the general. To be honest, the Tian family has always been honest and self-disciplined before. So life is a little tight.
When the Lin family was attached to the Ueda family, Tian Zhuguo didn't know about this matter - because after Hecang was attacked by the Central Tang Dynasty, there was a series of chain reactions of the changing battle situation, so he was also transferred to the front line by the monarch of the Southern Han Dynasty.
As a result, when he came back, the loose-headed family had been hiding it for more than a month, and the old man found that the expenses in the house had suddenly increased several times, and the donkey-faced Lu Yushi in the court actually didn't go against him, and Zhao Shilang, who was commonly known as the echo worm, didn't know what his sex had changed, and he actually supported himself in the court! Chen Hanlin, nicknamed Chen Laohu, was tamed like a cat in front of him...... At this time, Tian Zhuguo learned about the existence of the Lin family.
It's a pity that what can I do if I know the Tao? It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, even if Tian Zhuguo faces this situation, he can only take advantage of the trend. Could it be that Old Man Tian dared to tear apart from the Lin family at this time? Therefore, he had long wanted to see the initiator of this matter, so he asked his subordinates to take Lin Fengjin to his study.
Tian Zhuguo is a kind-looking old man, with a round face and just a few forehead lines. Speaking softly, he is fat and bloated, and his political opponent Hu Zhongcheng once wrote poems sarcastically saying that he is "obese and fat like an old woman". It's not like a general who kills all directions at all.
When Lin Fengjin saw him, he was actually holding a pen to draw plums, looking leisurely. However, Lin Fengjin knew that behind this old man's kindness, there were very cruel and ruthless methods!
Ten years ago, he had killed 40,000 soldiers, and in his early years, he even threw away all the wounded in his army in a battle, and then went around behind the enemy to wipe them out! In addition, the elite combat power of this person, the ghost cavalry, is indeed first-class strong, but the destructive power is also first-class great! As long as this kind of person senses some stumbling block in front of him, then he will ruthlessly kick one of them away!
Lin Fengjin stood respectfully next to the old man and watched him paint plum blossoms, until Tian Zhuguo sighed with satisfaction, then put down the brush, and then took a step forward and presented the gift list with both hands.
Tian Zhuguo looked at it casually, and didn't seem to take the 100,000 silver on the gift list to heart, just smiled and pointed to the chair next to him and said to Lin Fengzhen:
"Sit. ”
Immediately afterwards, Tian Zhuguo pointed to the plum blossom picture and asked with a smile:
"What do you think of my plum blossom painting?"
Two months ago, Tian Zhuguo had asked the same question in the same way and in the same kind tone to a housekeeper, who had been with him for thirty years, but who had embezzled five thousand taels of silver.
The housekeeper was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body at that time, of course, he could only say yes. Tian Zhuguo smiled and wanted to sell this painting to him, eight thousand taels.
The housekeeper went bankrupt and made 7,500 taels, so Tian Zhuguo ordered his subordinates to pour the 500 taels owed into his mouth, but he only poured less than 50 taels and directly killed the housekeeper.
Lin Fengjin didn't know about this matter at this time, he stared at the plum blossom picture, and immediately said:
"Very average. ”
Tian Zhuguo was slightly surprised, but asked with a smile:
"Where is it in general?"
Lin Fengjin said very happily:
"How good is it to hold a pen with a knife?"
Tian Zhuguo suddenly turned pale and said:
"Nonsense!"
Lin Fengjin didn't care, and said with a smile:
"Loyalty has always been against the ear, if the Pillar Country only has such a measure, how can it be a pillar stone for my Southern Han Dynasty?"
Tian Zhuguo was stunned, and suddenly his face changed, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed:
"You're really funny, kid - what's the matter with rushing to see the old man?"
Lin Feng said unhurriedly: "The kid does have one thing to discuss with the adults, that is, the proportion of my family's pumping dividends next year." ”
Tian Zhuguo's face changed suddenly, and he had already realized at this time that although his current strength was soaring, the fundamental reason was still in the money that the Lin family continued to provide! And whether he was an excellent politician or an excellent military strategist, Tian Zhuguo realized one thing, he and even his family were already very dependent on the "blood transfusion" from the Lin family, and it could be said that he could not get rid of it.
In this case, putting this lifeline in the hands of outsiders is not equivalent to putting a man's egg in the palm of the rest of people's hands, and when you want to hurt you, you have to hurt?
Therefore, when the news of Fangkang County in the south came, Tian Zhuguo found that the Lin family did not seem to be so peaceful, and he was already thinking about finding a cronie to replace the Lin family. Of course, Tian Zhuguo also knew that the importance and stability of this line could not be underestimated, so everything was carried out in secret.
If you are not completely sure, you can let your cronies replace the Lin family, and at least ensure that the monthly profit is not discounted, then Tian Zhuguo will definitely not be in trouble.
However, at this time, Lin Fengjin came to talk to Tian Zhuguo about next year's pumping and dividends! It seems that he is dissatisfied with the current distribution method of the Lin family taking 40% of the profits? Tian Zhuguo's heart suddenly swelled with anger, when did a lowly merchant dare to come and do this with himself? Do you really think that the old man is good-tempered?
But at this time, after Tian Zhuguo listened to Lin Fengjin's next sentence, he was cunning and cunning, but he couldn't believe his ears! Because Lin Fengjin's next words actually said: "The kid pondered for a while and felt that it was really a bit unruly for my family to divide four dividends at present, so from next year onwards, the Lin family will only take one percent of the dividends, and the remaining ninety percent will all go to Tian Fu." ”
Tian Zhuguo was silent on the surface, but the shock in his heart was very strong, and then he thought that this shock was brought to him by a young man!
"So what do you want?"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"I don't want anything, if I have to say anything, it's to ask the old man to save his worries, and I don't have to think about replacing my family with the rest of my cronies. ”
Tian Zhuguo narrowed his eyes, if it was true that the Lin family would only take one percent of the profit from now on, then the Tian family really couldn't afford to take the risk of this replacement.
As the saying goes, there are specializations in the art industry, and there are many loyal people in Tian Zhuguo's pocket, but no one is good at this at all! But loyalty definitely does not mean that the business will not be messed up, and doing business is a great knowledge.
More importantly, after the change of person, can the person in charge guarantee that only 10 percent of the profit will be taken? Tian Zhuguo calculated a little: If the Lin family only takes 10 percent of the profit, then the amount of funds injected into the Tian family every year will be as high as 500,000 taels! If another person is replaced, can he guarantee that this figure can be accomplished?
After a while, Tian Zhuguo turned around and said coldly:
"As far as I know, your Lin family is also a big family now, if you only take one percent of the profits, then you will just break even every year, and you don't even have savings! I don't believe that you can do this for our Tian family!"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"Lao Zhuguo is worried that we are using the name of the Tian family to swagger and deceive outside, right? Then we can make an agreement, but if there is any violation of law and discipline, bullying men and women, how about the Tian family not come forward?" (To be continued......)
