Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south, Lin Mansion.

As one of the largest silk weavers in the entire South, the Lin Mansion once became the supplier of royal silk, commonly known as the Imperial Merchant.

Precisely because of the name Huangshang, although the Lin family is a merchant, their status is not low. Usually the county magistrate has to be polite to the Lin family. Even in front of the magistrate, the Lin family has some confidence to speak.

Within the splendid Lin Mansion, carriages carrying heavy boxes are being transported into the mansion in an orderly manner under strict guard, and then sealed in the warehouse. The whole process is five steps, one post and three steps.

One whistle put an end to any possible sneaky behavior.

Lin Huaizhang, the eldest son of the second eldest son of the Lin family, said to Lin Huaiyu, the head of the family: "Brother, we tried our best in the past few days. The official bank said we had no money and couldn't make any reservations. Today, this guy suddenly gave us the five hundred thousand taels we saved."

All the cash has come out, which is a bit strange."

"The official uniform banker is rich."

Lin Huaiyu held the snuff bottle, gently put it under his nose and took a sip. Feeling relaxed and happy, he said lightly: "I don't see how anxious the people were a few days ago because the bank couldn't exchange the money. Could it be that the imperial court

Can you really watch a civil commotion happen?"

"This kind of thing is like having lice on the body. Either one is not clean. Once one appears in one place, hundreds or thousands of them will appear together. The court will not allow such a thing.

occurring."

Lin Huaizhang smiled and said: "No matter what, it is a good thing to be able to withdraw our money. To be honest, I am really worried that this money will be wasted."

Lin Huaiyu's expression was not that relaxed. He said in a deep voice: "You were relieved when you saw the money being raised, but I didn't get nervous until now."

"If the money cannot be withdrawn, all we will lose is five hundred thousand taels of silver. If the money is gone, we can make more money, but if the money is withdrawn, we may get into a lot of trouble."

Lin Huaiyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said in astonishment: "Brother, are you wrong?"

"This is a full half a million. If this half a million is gone, although our Lin family will not go bankrupt overnight, it will definitely be a strain. What's more, the person from Jinling asked for the money.

, if it doesn’t work out, can we get some good results?”

Lin Huaizhang glanced at Lin Huaiyu and said calmly: "The imperial court is forced to have no choice now. If it doesn't want a civil uprising, it can only hold its nose and settle all these accounts. No matter where the imperial court got these factors from,

, it must have cost a lot of money. Ordinary people can only pay a few taels or dozens of taels. For a large family of 500,000 like us, even if the court does not say it, it will remember us in its heart.

"

Hearing this, Lin Huaiyu's face suddenly sank, obviously realizing that what Lin Huaizhang said made sense.

"Then what if the imperial court really has a grudge against us? If we don't do it, we will offend Jinling. If we do it, we will offend the capital. Isn't this like a rat in the bellows suffering from both sides? No matter what you do, you won't be able to please us."

"That's exactly the truth."

Lin Huaizhang sighed and said: "Right now, there is a struggle between Jinling and the capital. We seem to have a big family and a big business, but in the eyes of others, we are not even as good as an ant. The only thing we can do now is to beg God to open his eyes."
