Chapter 1812 Ants Under the Tide

Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south, Lin Mansion.

As one of the most famous silk weaving companies in the south, Lin Mansion once became a supplier of royal silk, commonly known as the Royal Merchants.

It is precisely because of the title of Imperial Merchants that although the Lin family is a merchant, its status is not low. Ordinary magistrates should be polite to the Lin family. Even when they arrive in front of the prefect, the Lin family has some confidence to speak.

In the glorious Lin Mansion, heavy boxes were carried on horse-drawn carriages, which were being transported into the mansion in a rank-and-order manner under strict guards, and then sealed into the warehouse. The whole process was five steps, one post, three steps, and every whistle was eliminated.

Lin Huaizhang, the eldest son of the second house of the Lin family, said to Lin Huaiyu, who is the head of the family: "Brother, we tried every means a few days ago. The official money house said that there was no money and no appointments. Today, I suddenly paid out all the 500,000 taels of cash we saved. It was a bit strange."

"The official money house has money."

Lin Huaiyu held the snuff bottle and gently leaned under his nose and took a sip. He felt refreshed and happy. He said lightly: "I haven't seen the money shop can't repay the silver a few days ago, what are the people anxious? Could it be that the court can really watch the civil war change happen?"

"This kind of thing is like lice on the body, either none of them are clean. Once one out of one, it will appear hundreds or thousands of times next. The court will not allow such a thing to happen."

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

Lin Huaiyu's expression was not relaxed much. He said in a deep voice: "You were relieved to see Yinzi raised, but I was only nervous until now."

"If the money cannot be raised, we will lose only 500,000 taels of silver. If the money is gone, we can make another profit, but if the money is raised, we may get into a lot of trouble."

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

"This is a full 500,000. If this 500,000 is gone, our Lin family will not go bankrupt overnight, but it will definitely be a disaster. What's more, it's the one who asked Jinling to withdraw money. If it doesn't do it well, can we have good results?"

Lin Huaizhang glanced at Lin Huaiyu and said lightly: "The court is now forced to do nothing. If you don't want the civil war, you can only hold your nose honestly and repay all these accounts. No matter where the court's factors are obtained, it will definitely cost a huge price. It's okay for ordinary people to have a few dozen taels, or a few dozen taels. Even if the court doesn't say it, it will take us a note in our hearts."

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

"What if the court really holds a grudge against us? If you don't do it, you will offend Jinling, if you do it, you will offend the capital. Isn't this the rat in the bellows being both angry? No matter what you do, it won't be pleasing."

"That's exactly what it means."

Lin Huaizhang sighed and said, "Now Jinling is fighting with the capital. We seem to be a big family and have a great career. In other people's eyes, we are not even as good as an ant. The only thing we can do now is begging God to open our eyes. In this chaotic world, don't attack us first."
