Need for money

Hearing Lin Jingzhi's question, Aunt Yu said exactly what was on her mind.

She believes that if the Lin family wants to resist, they can win over and use these refugees fleeing famine.

After hearing this, Lin Jingzhi thought about it for a while, and felt that the method Aunt Yu said was quite reasonable. At present, there are 12 refugees helping the Lin family open up wasteland and dig canals. So, that is quite a huge force.

But, how to win over?

You must know that helping the Lin family to fight against the government is tantamount to conspiracy to rebel, and they will punish the nine clans!

Although the refugees now rely on the Lin family to survive, it seems difficult to let them help the Lin family out of this alone. People in this era have not developed their wisdom, and they have instinctive fear of the court and officials. It is quite difficult for them to take up arms and confront the court.

However, although it is very difficult to do this, it is not impossible. After all, the Lin family now holds the lifeblood of whether they can continue to survive.

"Yu'er, I think the method you mentioned is feasible. Let's go, let's go back to the city and help the refugees solve the quilt problem first." Lin Jingzhi flicked the horsewhip, and slapped the horse's ass hard Up and down, the white horse suffered from pain, let go of its four hooves, and galloped forward. For a while, the dirty muddy water was trampled by the horse's hooves and flew around.

If you want to take advantage of refugees, you should naturally do something for them to let them remember your kindness. At this time, it is worthwhile to pay more.

The black horse Aunt Yu got off was quite spiritual, and before Aunt Yu could raise her whip, she spread her hooves and chased after it.

Back in Los Angeles, Lin Jingzhi changed into clean clothes in the mansion, and went straight to the Jia family's mansion. If the government made things difficult for the Lin family in the future, they would not be able to open the business if they were not sure, and the Jia family's money might be stolen. It was a waste, so he thought that after going to Jia's mansion, the prices of quilts and other materials should be lowered appropriately.

When he heard for the first time that Jia's family was selling old quilts and old clothes, he still wanted to take them for nothing.

The Jia family is also a well-known wealthy family in Los Angeles, mainly engaged in spinning and cloth. If the business goes well, it will be no problem to earn 80 taels of silver a year. It is much smaller, and its decoration style is not as grand as the Lin family.

The Lin family is in the jade business, and compared with spinning spindles and cloth, the profit is naturally much higher, so if we only talk about wealth, the Lin family is much richer than the Jia family.

Because Aunt Yu was a concubine, it was not easy to take her around. Lin Jingzhi just led eight guards and went straight to the gate of Jia's house.

The gate of Jia's house is vermilion, about two feet wide, and on the left and right stands a stone lion with rounded eyes and bared teeth and claws. The two stone lions seem to have been recently brought in to replace the old ones. It looks fresh, but it also lacks a simple atmosphere.

The Jia family was just an ordinary businessman, and there were no guards in front of the door. At this time, the two doors were tightly closed together.

Lin Jingzhi waved his hand, and a guard behind him immediately took a few steps forward, picked up a golden door knocker with a diameter of half a foot, and lightly knocked it a few times.

"Who is it?" As soon as the voice fell to the ground, a middle-aged man's question came from inside the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of footsteps inside, and with the sound of 'squeak', the two doors were pulled open from the inside. This middle-aged man was a servant in charge of the door of Jia's mansion. He had seen him before. Lin Jingzhi, who came to Jia's mansion as a guest, quickly bent down and bowed respectfully, "I have seen Second Master Lin, are you here to see my young master?"

"No, I'm here to look for your master. Dare I ask if Uncle Jia is at the house at this time?" Lin Jingzhi asked with a modest smile.

"Yes, my master and young master are here, Second Master Lin, please come in." The middle-aged man opened the door wide, stepped aside, and evaded the right way with his left hand.

Lin Jingzhi lifted his sleeve robe, took big steps, and walked in.

In the past, Lin Jingzhi had a very good relationship with Jia Lin, and he had visited Jia's mansion many times, and he could find the hall of Jia's mansion without someone leading the way.

When he came to the entrance of the hall, Lin Jingzhi walked in generously, found a chair and sat down, while the guards of the Lin family automatically stopped and stayed outside.

Since he stepped into the gate of Jia's mansion, there were people looking for Jananshan, so he didn't wait long, and saw Jananshan rushing over in a dark green gorgeous brocade robe. Once he entered the hall door, Jananshan He cupped his hands with a smile all over his face, "What kind of wind is it today that brought Nephew Lin Xian here?"

Lin Jingzhi quickly stood up from the chair, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Jia is joking." He understood that the reason why Jia Nanshan gave him a good look was entirely because of his own help, which made Jia's family and Zheng's family happy. He got into friendship, and he also contributed to the great thing that the two companies worked together to open up wasteland.

When the wasteland is opened, Jia's family can earn at least several 10 taels of silver. For this matter alone, Jia Nanshan will no longer be as indifferent to him as before.

The two sat down as guest and host, and the maid of Jia's mansion who was waiting on the side refilled a cup of warm tea for each of them.

"Jingzhi, you, alas! If Lin'er can be half as good as you, that would be great!" Jiananshan picked up his teacup and took a sip. He originally wanted to ask Lin Jingzhi's reason for coming, but seeing that Lin Jingzhi was young Yes, it is mature and stable, very experienced, and then think about this young man who passed the exam at the age of 14, and his reputation spread far and wide.

Instinctively comparing with Jia Lin, Jia Nanshan let out a long sigh.

People are more mad than people!

Jia Nanshan sighed abruptly, making Lin Jingzhi a little puzzled. Could it be that Jia Lin did something wrong again to make this elder angry?

Suppressing his own intention of coming, Lin Jingzhi began to persuade: "Uncle Jia, although Brother Jia Lin is a bit playful, he is still very smart. After two years, he will be more sensible, and he will definitely not be as smart as my nephew." Difference."

Lin Jingzhi was originally several years younger than Jia Lin, and now his tone was old-fashioned, but when Jia Nanshan heard it, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

You must know that Lin Jingzhi has been managing the family business since he was 14 years old, and he has long left the impression of being a mature young man. In Los Angeles, everyone knows it, and everyone knows it.

Jia Nanshan shook his head with a bitter face, and replied: "I don't expect you to be able to compare with you, I only hope that he can have half of your ability in the future, and I will be satisfied if he picks up the Jia family's property."

"Uncle Jia, you..."

Lin Jingzhi wanted to persuade him again, but he was interrupted by Jananshan after he finished speaking, "Stop persuading me, I don't know my son yet, alas, this wicked person!"
