After the transaction was completed, Lin Fengjin went to see Li Hu. After a detailed discussion between the two, Lin Miao also grasped an exact figure, which was the huge amount of profits derived from the profits generated by the Lin family since the Lin family began to rely on the Tian family.
The network has become intricate and has involved nearly a hundred officials!
This number sounds very scary, but strictly speaking it is actually less, because there are direct beneficiaries and indirect beneficiaries. For example, a seventh-grade imperial censor received money from the Tian family, and he
It may be used for consumption, but it may also be used to honor the superior.
If it is used to honor the Shangguan, the Shangguan will naturally accept his favor, and then this person's right to speak will become more important. Furthermore, when the Qipindu Censor speaks for the Tian family, his Shangguan will have to consider the relevant issues.
opinions, and made actions that were beneficial to the Tian family. Then this Shangguan was naturally the indirect beneficiary, and was unknowingly dragged down by the money taken out by the Tian family.
There is no doubt that the expansion of this relationship network is beyond Lin Fengjin's imagination. According to Li Hu's analysis, the one hundred thousand taels of silver sent by Lin Fengjin this time, plus the sales of goods
Earning eighteen thousand taels of silver was indeed a timely help. After Lin Fengjin pondered for a while, he said to Li Hu:
"Please make arrangements, I want to see Tian Zhuguo."
Li Hu was stunned. Lin Fengjin faked his death in front of Commander Tian that day and escaped. Although everyone tacitly agreed, this layer of paper was not broken. Lin Fengjin suddenly proposed to see Tian Zhuguo, an old fox.
, there was no big problem with his arrangements, but he was a little worried about Lin Fengjin's safety.
Lin Fengjin saw Li Hu's hesitation and laughed and said:
"Don't have any scruples. Do I look like that stupid young man? It's just that the turmoil I caused in Fangkang County last time probably also spread to Xiangdu. Old man Tian is very cunning. If you don't give him more,
We might have to burn bridges across rivers.”
Although Li Hu didn't quite understand what Lin Fengjin said was specious, he also knew that Lin Fengjin was the kind of person who made plans before taking action, so he followed the instructions and contacted the Tian family, and Tian Zhuguo received the news.
I was also very interested in meeting Lin Fengjin, so I made an appointment in the afternoon.
The Tian Mansion is not very magnificent. The only feature is that it occupies a large area, because there is no garden or anything inside. Instead, there is a solid martial arts field, which still retains the true character of a general. To be honest, the Tian family has always been honest before.
I am self-sufficient, so my life is a bit tight.
When the Lin family came to the Shangtian family, Tian Zhuguo didn't know about this yet. Because Hecang was attacked by the Central Tang Dynasty, a series of chain reactions of changes in the battle situation occurred, so he was also attacked by the Southern Han Dynasty.
The monarch was transferred to the front line.
As a result, when he came back, his family, who had a lot of money, managed to hide it for more than a month. The old man found that the expenses in the house had suddenly increased several times, and the donkey-faced Yushi Lu in the court actually did not go against him.
, Zhao Shilang, who is commonly known as the yes man, didn't know what kind of change he had, but he actually supported him in the court meeting! Chen Hanlin, nicknamed Chen Laohu, tamed Ruomao in front of him... Only then did Tian Zhuguo find out.
The existence of the Lin family.
Unfortunately, what can I do if I know? I have said before that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Even if Tian Zhuguo faces this situation, he can only follow the trend. Does Mr. Tian dare to quarrel with the Lin family now?
Separated? So he had long wanted to meet the initiator of this incident, so he asked his servants to take Lin Fengjin to his study.
However, Tian Zhuguo is a kind-looking old man with a round face and only a few forehead wrinkles. He speaks in a soft voice and is fat and bloated. His political enemy Hu Zhongcheng once wrote a poem to ridicule him, saying that he is "as fat as an old woman."
·He doesn’t look like a general who kills people everywhere.
When Lin Fengjin saw him, he was actually painting wintersweet with a pen, looking leisurely. But Lin Fengjin knew that behind the old man's kindness, there were very cruel and ruthless methods!
Ten years ago, he killed 40,000 surrendered soldiers. In his early years, he even abandoned all the wounded in his army in a battle and then went around behind the enemy to annihilate them all! In addition, this man
The elite ghost knights under his command are indeed top-notch powerful, but their destructive power is also top-notch! As long as such a person senses any stumbling block in front of him, he will ruthlessly kick him away.
!
Lin Fengjin stood respectfully next to the old man and watched him draw plum blossoms. It wasn't until Tian Zhuguo sighed with satisfaction that he put down his brush, then took a step forward and presented the gift list with both hands.
Tian Zhuguo took a casual look and didn't seem to take the one hundred thousand silver in the gift list to heart. He just pointed to the chair next to him with a smile and said to Lin Fengjin:
"sit.
Then Tian Zhuguo pointed at the plum blossom picture and asked with a smile:
"What do you think of my plum blossom painting, my dear nephew?"
Two months ago, Tian Zhuguo used the same method and the same kind tone to ask the same question to a housekeeper. The housekeeper was an old man who had followed him for thirty years, but he embezzled two pieces of silver.
The housekeeper was so frightened that he could only say yes. Tian Zhuguo smiled and offered to sell him the painting for eight thousand taels.
The housekeeper went bankrupt and bought 7,500 taels, so Tian Zhuguo ordered his men to pour the 500 taels he owed into his mouth. In the end, he killed the housekeeper after only 50 taels were poured into his mouth.
Lin Fengjin didn't know this yet. He glanced at the plum blossom picture and said immediately:
“Very average.”
Tian Zhuguo was slightly surprised, but asked with a smile:
"Generally where?"
Lin Fengjin said happily:
"How can it be better if the hand holding the knife is used to hold a pen?"
Tian Zhuguo suddenly turned his face serious and said:
"Nonsense!"
Lin Fengjin didn't care, and said with a smile:
"Loyal advice has always been harsh to the ears. If Zhu Guo only has such a talent, how can he be the pillar of the Southern Han Dynasty for me?"
Tian Zhuguo was stunned, then his expression suddenly changed and he burst into laughter:
"You kid is really interesting~ What's the matter with you rushing to see me?"
Lin Fengjin said calmly: "I do have one thing that I want to discuss with the adults, and that is the proportion of water and dividends for my family next year."
Tian Zhuguo's expression suddenly changed. At this time, he had realized that although his power has greatly increased, the fundamental reason still lies in the continuous money provided by the Lin family! And whether he is an excellent politician or an excellent military strategist,
Tian Zhuguo realized one thing. He and even his family were now very dependent on the "blood transfusion" from the Lin family, and it could be said that there was no way to get rid of it.
In this case, putting this lifeline in the hands of outsiders, isn't it equivalent to putting a man's balls in the palms of other people, and you have to hurt him whenever you want him to?
Therefore, when the news from Fangkang County in the south came and Tian Zhuguo discovered that the Lin family did not seem to be so law-abiding, he was already making preparations to consider finding close family members to replace the Lin family. Of course, Tian Zhuguo also knew the importance and importance of this line.
Stability cannot be ignored, so everything is done in secret.
If he is not completely sure that his cronies can replace the Lin family while at least ensuring that the monthly profits are not compromised, then Tian Zhuguo will never make an attack.
But at this time, Lin Fengjin came to talk to Tian Zhuguo about next year's water dividend! It seemed that he was dissatisfied with the current distribution method of the Lin family's 40% profit? Tian Zhuguo's heart suddenly burst into anger. When did a humble merchant
You dare to do this to me? Do you really think I have a good temper?
But at this time, after Tian Zhuguo heard Lin Fengjin's next words, he thought he was cunning, but he couldn't believe his ears!! Because Lin Fengjin's next words actually said: "The boy thought about it for a while and thought,
It is really against the rules that my family should divide the dividend into four shares at present, so from next year, the Lin family will only receive 10% of the dividend, and the remaining 90% will all go to Tian Mansion."
Tian Zhuguo looked calm on the surface, but the shock in his heart was very strong. When he thought that this shock was brought to him by a young man! He was even more vigilant in his heart, but the old fox still said calmly:
"So what do you want?"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"I don't want anything. If I have to say what I want, it is to ask the old man to save his worries and stop thinking about replacing my family with other cronies."
Tian Zhuguo narrowed his eyes. If it is true that the Lin family will only take 10% of the profit from now on, then the Tian family really cannot afford to take the risk of this substitution.
As the saying goes, there are specialties in the art. There are many loyal people in Tian Zhuguo's pocket, but no one is good at it! But being loyal definitely does not mean that you will not mess up the business. Business is a big business.
knowledge.
More importantly, after changing people, can the person in charge guarantee that he will only take 10% of the profits? Tian Zhuguo did some calculations. If the Lin family only takes 10% of the profits, then the capital injected into the Tian family every year will be as high as 50%.
One hundred thousand taels! If it were someone else, would it be possible to guarantee that this number could be completed?
After a while, Tian Zhuguo turned around and said coldly:
"As far as I know, your Lin family is also a big business now. If you only take 10% profit, then you will just break even every year and you won't even have any savings! I don't believe 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 show off and deceive outside, right? Then we can make an agreement. If there is any violation of law or discipline, bullying of men and women, how about the Tian family not to come forward?"
