Chapter 89 089 Seventy percent of the furniture

But Lin Jiang forgot one thing, that is, Daqing really needs the help of the Lin family as he thought, but what it needs is the influence of the Lin family in the south and the strong financial resources of the Lin family, not the members of the Lin family.

Although Lin Jiang now felt that he had been tricked by others, when he heard Chang Lin mentioning the two children, he still gritted his teeth and agreed, because he knew that his two sons were not suitable for business at all. Although it may or may not be the material for being an official, as long as the two brothers can enter the court as officials, at least they have entered the officialdom. As long as they act carefully in the future, probably nothing will go wrong.

But Lin Jiang didn't expect that the so-called food collection task would be so difficult. In the past, those wealthy households who had called him brothers and sisters at the same table, after knowing his intentions, most of them made excuses and left directly. A few said that they would take out some of their own food reserves, but the reported amount made Lin Jiang know that he was sending him off.

He didn't expect that he would encounter difficulties at the first step, so he had to go to Chang Lin.

"Master Lin said that those wealthy households don't want to cooperate with you?"

After hearing Lin Jiang's question, Chang Lin was not in a hurry, but asked him back.

Lin Jiang nodded, "That's right, some of them just made excuses to leave, or they said they would donate some food, but the amount reported was really too small, and that little food was useless at all."

Chang Lin stared at Lin Jiang for a while, and then said softly, "Then I wonder how much Master Lin plans to donate?"

Lin Jiang found that he couldn't understand Chang Lin's words, "What are you talking about?"

Chang Lin said: "If Mr. Lin himself doesn't want to give out any money, what do you think the people you find will think?"

Lin Jiang thought about Chang Lin's words carefully, and soon understood the meaning of Chang Lin's words.

"Hahaha, Lord Changlin is really calculating."

It was not the ultimate goal to serve as an official for others before co-authoring. What they always cared about was the Lin family's property.

"What's the difference between what you're doing and robbers?" Lin Jiang figured out the relationship, and was so angry that he yelled at Chang Lin.

But Chang Lin didn't care at all, "Master Lin should think twice when he speaks. You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. When you enter and leave the officialdom, you have to understand that sometimes you have to do a good job, and then you have to lead the way." , let others see that you support Daqing, otherwise why would others believe what you say?"

Looking at the faint smile on Chang Lin's face, the only thing Lin Jiang wanted to do was punch that smile away, he was really an eyesore.

"Then what did you do for Daqing?" Lin Jiang asked back.

The smile on the corner of Chang Lin's mouth gradually faded with Lin Jiang's question until he couldn't see it anymore. He stared at Lin Jiang and said slowly: "For Daqing, only my mother and I are left in the Chang family. Now, if Daqing or Your Majesty need it, I, Changlin, am willing to sacrifice my life."

Lin Jiang didn't expect Chang Lin to answer him like this, which made him a little confused. After a while, he asked, "Is it worth it?"

Chang Lin replied: "It's worth it. Our Chang's family is full of loyalty, but we can't ruin it in my hands."

At this moment, Lin Jiang may understand why Chang Lin lives so persistently, and he is just a person who can go all out for the glory of the family.

"Understood, the Lin family will take out [-]% of all the stored food. After all, our family still has to eat. I think Master Changlin can understand."

Chang Lin nodded: "Of course I understand, and Master Lin doesn't have to be like this, as long as you give [-]% of it."

Lin Jiang didn't speak, it was a tacit agreement.

"As for what you just said, it is actually very easy to handle. When I go back, I will ask His Majesty for an imperial decree, and you can take that imperial decree to collect grain. To make it clear, if you are still obsessed with it afterwards, then you don’t need to save face for those people anymore. It is up to Mr. Lin to make the decision on whether to ransack the house or execute the entire family. The adults must know it, right?"

"...Is this a bit too serious?" Lin Jiang felt that the food was originally someone else's, and now he had to sit down and talk with others calmly if he wanted to use it, but the methods Chang Lin told him were more like robbers, but He didn't dare to say it.

Chang Lin glanced at Lin Jiang, "Of course, if Mr. Lin has other methods, you don't have to use the methods I mentioned."

Lin Jiang was speechless at these words, but he would not come to Chang Lin if he had a way.

"Understood, I will act according to Master Changlin's method first, and if I meet someone who is obsessed with obsession, I will find a way." It is also impossible for him to really steal people's property and kill people for such a little food, Lin Jiang felt that if he really did that, it would be impossible for the Lin family to gain a foothold in the south in the future.

After sighing, Lin Jiang left with a sad face, only Chang Lin was left standing there, still thinking about the question Lin Jiang asked him just now.

Not worth it?

From Chang Lin's own point of view, of course it's not worth it, because of Xie Shiyun and Xie Yuanshan, his family is already ruined, logically speaking, there is no need for him to charge for Daqing, but Chang Lin knows, no That way, his father had taught him before his death that the Chang family should defend Daqing to the death.

And from a personal point of view, Xie Yuanshan is the chief culprit who caused his family's misfortune, so of course he has to kill his enemies.

But now, the other party gave him a chance to kill him openly, and Chang Lin would naturally not refuse.Otherwise, all the hard work he had done in private before would be in vain.This is a secret that Chang Lin can't tell. In fact, his feelings for Daqing have always been complicated. It is not only the home he grew up in, but it is also the murderer who ruined his family.

Now, he has to go through life and death for this "murderer", and try his best to make it regain its former prosperity, although Changlin knows that there is also his own selfishness in it.

After returning, Lin Jiang sighed continuously, which caused Mrs. Lin to frown, "What's the matter, the food collection is not going well?"

Lin Jiang nodded: "The wives of these people still don't understand? It's really hard for them to take something out of their own pockets."

Mrs. Lin nodded: "But this matter still needs to be continued."

Lin Jiang nodded: "Yes, now it seems that my Lin family is the only one who has to provide some food first, otherwise I am afraid that your husband-in-law and I will not be able to complete this errand at all."

Mrs. Lin understood what was going on as soon as she heard it: "Did the emperor say how much he wants our family to give?"
