Seeing that Liao’s face was inconsistent and wanted to speak, the old lady Ren continued: "But I am not a person who is not affectionate. When my father said this, Ren’s family only had these coal mines in Yanzhou, and did not include I bought the three in the south, so the ones in the south can be shared with you. The yields of these coal mines are also pretty good. I originally handed them over to my second brother. He knows best."
Liao's expression finally eased. Before Ren Baoming explained that the two rooms do not separate the family and the property, she would know it, otherwise she would not bear until today to propose the separation of the family, but she didn't know. It turns out that the old man not only left words, but also written notes.
We must know that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if the disputes between descendants and grandchildren were reported to the government, the last words left by the ancestors in black and white were also the basis for the officials to determine the distribution of property.
Even though they would suffer a loss even if they knew such a division, Liao couldn't say anything to refute, otherwise if he really annoyed Mrs. Ren and used Ren Baoming to suppress them, even the only three coal mines would not be able to fish. It's just that the Liao family still couldn't help feeling frustrated. After all, they were all the descendants of the old man. What kind of thing is this kind of favoritism? Isn't their family a direct line?
In fact, it can’t be blamed for Ren Baoming’s favoritism. In Yanbei, as long as there are some family members, the eldest son divides most of the family’s property, because this can ensure that the family’s power is not dispersed due to too many grandchildren, which is beneficial to the family. Long-term development.
"Then what about the 1.5 million taels you took out? Can't we also have a share, right?" Liao's face was unsightly.
Mrs. Ren said: "Most of the 1.5 million liang is drawn from the coal stacks in Yanbei. The money in the south of the Yangtze River is not used, and will be borne by Yanbei in the future. The total profit turned in includes all the industries under the Ren family, and the income from the coal storage in Jiangnan and Kyoto will also be included. This is not my decision."
Liao's lip curled his lips: "Ren's family has been in business for so many years, right?"
Mrs. Ren nodded and said: "There are indeed some savings, but in recent years, huā has been on the coal stacks in Jiangnan and Kyoto. If you have any doubts, I will give you the account books of the Ren family over the years. Then... Ren The family has not been separated now. Since the interests are shared, the risks should be shared, so the second siblings still need to pay attention to their own words. In addition, this house and the other courtyard in Yunyang City, as well as in Yanzhou All the property is regarded as the ancestral property of the Ren family. Only the eldest son of the long house is passed on, and it is not separated. This is written in the father’s will. As for the houses in Kyoto and Jiangnan, they are shared with you. The Dongfu where you now live. It’s up to you whether you want to move out or continue to live. Even if we split up, we are still a family."
Liao's listening to Mrs. Ren's words seemed to make sense, but she just felt uncomfortable in her heart, but Mrs. Ren's words were justified. She could not find a reason to refute.
Liao and Ren Er looked at each other, and Liao said, "We still need to discuss this matter. Although you are in charge, you can't divide it as you say it?"
The old man Ren said very tolerantly: "This is natural, you can make any comments. As long as it is a reasonable request, I can consider it. However, I still think that my father's words make sense. Our Ren family is not a very prosperous family. It’s better if you can stay separate."
Liao had been waiting for decades and finally waited until the family could be divided. He immediately shook his head and resolutely said: "I have already said that, it is better to be divided."
Grandpa Ren sighed: "Then you go back to discuss first, and the rest will be discussed when your second brother writes from Beijing."
Liao did not want to stay here for long. How awkward she was sitting in the guest seat, she immediately got up and said to the second master: "Shiyuan, let's go back first." After speaking, she nodded to the old man and went out first.
Ren Shiyuan saluted the old lady and the old lady. Also followed out.
As soon as they left, the old lady Ren's face fell.
Old lady Ren seemed to be a little tired, and said, "Stay in the middle of the time, and you all go out too."
Ren Shimin and others also retired.
Seeing that there were only three of them left in the house, the old lady Ren said: "Old lady. Are you really going to separate from them? Now is the difficult time for Ren's family. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to divide the family property at this time? "Speaking of which, the old lady Ren was full of resentment. "In these years, the Ren family has tried their best to support Jiangnan's industry and lost most of the public's money. Now that they are seeing improvement, they are now theirs! That's fine, but the Liao family is still thinking about it. We have to bear the debt of 1.5 million taels alone. She has a share in the good things, but we have to recite all the bad things? Her abacus is good! In my opinion, we should follow the old man’s words, who If you want to insist on dividing the family, you should divide the family regardless of the property! See what they are still making!"
Mrs. Ren sighed, and Mrs. Ren couldn't help being stunned when he heard it. People like Mrs. Ren were always strong, and he rarely sighed.
"Old lady..."
Mrs. Ren said: "If the family can not be separated, I would not agree to the separation at this time. But now it seems that the separation may not be a bad thing."
Old lady Ren puzzled: "What do you say?"
Grandpa Ren leaned back on the seat and said quietly: "From the point of view of my and Shizhong's imprisonment this time and what happened afterwards, it is still the attitude of the Yanbei Palace that the Ren family will suffer. Now we have rejected the marriage of the Zeng family, but I will intervene in Kyoto again..."
The old lady Ren was startled when he heard the words: "You mean to give up those industries? But the Ren family has put a lot of hard work on this over the years."
Mrs. Ren said: "I don’t want to give up. That’s why I handed over the industries other than Yanbei to my second brother through the opportunity of this separation. From now on, I will leave Jiangnan affairs to them. If you intervene again, you can be regarded as expressing an attitude with Yanbei Palace.
Mr. Ren said: "My father meant to separate the industries in Yanbei and Jiangnan for business, so that even if there is a conflict between the court and Yanbei in the future, we have clearly separated from the second uncle and the others. We are in Yanbei. North runs Yanbei's coal mines and coal yards, and the second uncle is in charge of Jiangnan. The conflict between the court and Yanbei will not involve our Ren family." The old lady Ren has learned a lesson this time and has a long memory.
Mrs. Ren understood, but she was worried: "But does the second brother understand what you mean? If it's like Liao's..."
Grandpa Ren smiled when he heard the words, and said lightly: "There has always been only one Patriarch of the Ren family."
After speaking, he glanced at Ren Shizhong again, and said solemnly: "Boss, you also remember this sentence, there is only one Patriarch of the Ren family!"
Master Ren bowed his head and replied yes.
The old lady Ren came to understand. It turned out that the old lady did not really want to divide the family property. This was just an expedient plan he thought of by taking the opportunity of the Liao family to divide the family! The purpose is to let the Ren family minimize the risk taken by the Ren family when there is a conflict between the court and Yanbei in the future!
Thinking of this, the sulking anger that old lady Ren had been irritated by Liao finally dissipated a lot.
A few days later, the Ren family received a letter from the second old man of the East Mansion from Beijing.
In the letter, the second old man agreed to the law of separation proposed by the old man. The old man was given all the coal mines and coal storages in Yanbei, and the Dongfu took over the coal mines and coal storages in Jiangnan and Kyoto. The second old lady has been in charge of the business in Jiangnan and Kyoto over the years, and now the coal storage there is also making a lot of monthly profit. In one or two years, it may not be able to exceed the industry in Yanbei. As for the coal mine of Ren's family, The second old lady also knew the legacy of his father that year, and the few old ladies who could be assigned to Jiangnan were not considered cheating him.
However, the second old lady also proposed that he has no other opinions, but because the coal stacks in the south of the Yangtze River will improve a little bit, if they give the government 60% of the income every year, he is afraid that it will not be able to maintain it, so he asked for it. The old lady temporarily paid him 10%, but he only gave 50%.
After receiving the letter, Mrs. Ren replied to him and promised to pay him 10% of the profits in the first three years.
After seeing the letter, the second old lady readily agreed. As for the second old lady of the East House, Liao Shi, presumably the second old lady had already sent her a letter, so she didn't come over and ask for trouble.
After that, there was a handover between the two parties. In fact, the business on the Jiangnan side has always been handed over to the Dongfu, and there is not much to be handed over. The second grandfather said that he would let the fourth grandfather come back as soon as possible to get this matter done.
So almost in a very peaceful atmosphere, the East House and the West House divided their homes.
On the surface, the separation of the Ren family does not seem to have any effect on the Ren family. At least the younger generations of the Ren family can hardly feel the difference between family separation.
The Ren family's affairs have come to an end for the time being, and the third room of the Ren family will leave Baihe Town and return to Yunyang City.
Some time ago, because of an accident in the Ren family, Ren Shimin stayed at the ancestral home of the Ren family. Later, the old man's condition gradually improved. Ren Shimin went to Yunyang Academy every other time, but the Li family and Ren Yaoqi Ren Yaohua still stayed in Baihe Town.
Now, the people in the three rooms can just move back to the house in Yunyang City.
Li stayed in Yunyang City for a while, but now he is not used to the Ren family's ancestral home where he lived for more than ten years. Suddenly something happened to the Ren family, and the huā meeting that Li said he was going to hold in the new house finally ended. After returning this time, he could finally send out the invitation, so Li was in a very good mood.
