Cheng Chu silently shouted: "Don't, the Chinese New Year is about to come, and our family still hopes to have a good New Year with this money."
Don't think that the Duke is very rich. They have just become rich and have little accumulation. They live off the rewards of military exploits and the food and towns provided by their titles.
Although the income is quite high, the family has a large family to support and the expenses are high. There is not much money left at the end of the year.
Take the Cheng family for example. Cheng Chumo has six brothers. Cheng Chumo is the eldest son and can inherit the title.
For the remaining five, each of them needs a lot of money to buy a house and some fields.
The only difference between the other families and the Cheng family is that they are not as able to have as many sons as Cheng Yaojin.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, how much is the total now?"
Speaking of money, Cheng Chumo said excitedly: "It's almost 300,000 yuan. Good guy, I've never seen so much money."
Lin Xuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect there were so many. When he heard what was said behind him, he laughed and cursed: "Look at your little potential, let's do this. Our family will be divided into 50,000 yuan. Uncle Niu, you send someone to inform him to come and pull the money back."
."
"Okay." Cheng Chumo said with a silly smile.
Yuchi Baolin and Li Dejiang also looked excited.
Lin Xuan said to Qin Huaidao: "Brother Huaidao, ask someone to bring five thousand strings back."
"No... no need, I didn't participate, how could I be embarrassed to take it." Qin Huaidao quickly refused.
It would be false to say that you are not envious of Cheng Chumo and the others for sharing so much money, but it does not mean that he will accept Lin Xuan's gift.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Brother Huai Dao, this money is not for you, it is for me to build a wheelchair for Uncle Qin."
"Oh, okay." Qin Huaidao nodded.
Lin Xuan was thinking about finding a business to help the Qin family make some money. After all, Qin Qiong was really nice to him.
Lin Xuan didn't think too much, he was just simply grateful.
He doesn't have any good ideas now, but he has kept this in mind. If there is any good business in the future, he will just call Qin Huaidao.
Lin Xuan said to Cheng Chumo: "I'm going back first, and I'll ask the housekeeper to go to Zuixian Tower to get money later."
…
Lin Xuan returned home, found Lin Dongyang, and told the matter again.
"How come there is so much money?" Lin Dongyang asked in surprise.
During this period, Ke Yunlou made more than 20,000 guan, which was a surprise to him. Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan suddenly told him that there were still 45,000 guan waiting to be paid back.
Lin Xuan told Lin Dongyang about the fairy drunkenness, and then Lin Dongyang realized that the fairy drunkenness was caused by his own son.
"You brat, since it was you who caused the Immortal Drunkenness, you don't even know how to honor your father with something. I even sent someone to buy it." Lin Dongyang scolded.
"Forehead!"
Lin Xuan touched his nose angrily and did not answer.
Can he tell Lin Dongyang that he has forgotten about this matter?
I guess I'll get scolded for saying that.
Lin Dongyang was not really angry. He found Butler Lin and asked him to take people to get the money back.
"Xuan'er, it's not a problem to keep so much money at home. I'm thinking of using it to buy some land after the New Year. What do you think?" Lin Dongyang asked.
If he had discussed these matters before, he would never have discussed them with Lin Xuan.
But since Lin Xuan recovered from his horse riding injury, he has earned more in a short period of time than he has worked hard to accumulate throughout his life.
He was already used to asking Lin Xuan's opinion.
Lin Xuan thought about it. Money in the Tang Dynasty usually weighed about six or seven kilograms. When the money comes back, plus the money at home, it can weigh hundreds of thousands of kilograms. It is really not a problem to pile it all at home.
According to Lin Xuan's opinion, it is not recommended to buy land.
The family already had a lot of land, and Li Shimin rewarded him with a thousand acres when he was ennobled. There was no use in buying so much land.
The land didn't earn much in a year, so he really didn't take it seriously.
However, he knew the ancients' attachment to land and had no objection. He said, "Dad, you can buy land, but you can't use it all to buy land. Don't forget to build the Earl's Palace."
In ancient times, if the emperor was pleased with the title of nobility, he would directly reward him with a house.
People like Cheng Yaojin and Qinqiong are given wine as a reward.
Li Shimin didn't appreciate Lin Xuan's house, so Lin Xuan needed to build it himself.
It's not enough if you don't build this thing. You are a count and you don't even have a decent house. It would be too embarrassing if word spread.
Building a house is a big deal, and since my son is now an earl, the current house is indeed a bit small.
Lin Dongyang nodded and said: "Xuan'er, why don't you buy the land first and keep all the money for you to build a house?"
"Dad, it doesn't matter if you buy some. Just use 20,000 yuan to buy it, and keep the rest for me to build a house." Lin Xuan said.
"Is it not enough?" Lin Dongyang asked.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Dad, it's okay. Anyway, we have to wait until next spring. By then, Zuixian Tower will be able to get a lot of money. We won't be able to spend all the money. I'm afraid I won't be able to fit it in the house."
Lin Dongyang thought for a while and felt that what Lin Xuan said made sense, so he stopped insisting.
"Xuan'er, now that you have been ennobled, you can be regarded as a proud ancestor. Dad plans to go back to worship his ancestors after the new year." Lin Dongyang said.
Wealth that does not return to its hometown is like walking in brocade at night.
Moreover, the ancients attached great importance to ancestor worship. When they became prosperous, they thought it was the appearance of their ancestors, and they had to go back to worship their ancestors.
Lin Xuan said: "Dad, you can arrange these things."
When he talked about going back to worship his ancestors, Lin Xuan thought of a person in his mind.
It was that person who instigated Lin Xuan to ride a horse. Later, the horse was frightened and Lin Xuan fell off the horse, hurting his head and dying. Only then did the current Lin Xuan come through.
That person was Lin Xuan's clan brother Lin Fei. However, after Lin Xuan woke up, he never saw Lin Fei again.
He later asked Lin Dongyang and learned that Lin Fei was too embarrassed to stay in Chang'an because of his injury and returned to Luoyang.
But Lin Xuan didn't think so. He felt that the previous horse crash was not a coincidence.
Lin Xuan's family is not from Chang'an, but their ancestral home is Luoyang.
Lin Dongyang has no brothers, and his parents died of illness early.
In Lin Dongyang's lineage, there is only one son like Lin Xuan.
If Lin Xuan dies, and Lin Dongyang wants to end their lineage, he must either give birth to another person or adopt one from the same clan.
If Lin Dongyang wants to adopt an heir, then Lin Fei has a high chance.
Because Lin Fei is the son of Lin Dongyang's cousin and is closest to them.
That's why Lin Xuan was so suspicious. As for whether it was what he thought, he would know when he goes back to test it out.
Lin Xuan did not intend to tell Lin Dongyang about these missing things.
…
Sitting in the carriage, I was thinking about the purpose of Li Chengqian inviting me to dinner.
Lin Xuan felt that Li Chengqian was looking for him just to win over him.
He really didn't want to get involved in these things, but he couldn't refuse the prince's invitation, so he had to adapt accordingly.
The East Palace is connected to Taiji Palace in the west, the Imperial City in the south, the east wall of the Palace City in the east, and the West Inner Garden in the north.
Although it is part of the palace, it has a separate palace gate.
