Lin Yunhai looked around when he said this. When he found that there was no one around, he tried to lower his voice and get half a meter away from Lin Yuanshan.
"Uncle Yunhai, don't worry. These people are all loyal people. They have received my kindness back then, and they are here to repay my kindness! Don't worry. They are definitely not the spies of others, and they are definitely not the people of those two. I don't dare to joke about this matter. If I go wrong, not only will I implicate myself, but even the people around me will not have a good ending!”
"Young Master, it's good that you know what you're doing. Then I'm relieved! As long as these people are reliable, they will be a great help to us and can greatly strengthen our strength. During this period of time, those two have been recruiting troops and buying horses. Their motives are not small. If it were up to me, we should make our move early, lest there be any more problems later!”
"Uncle Yun Hai, regarding this matter, we have already discussed it before. If we act rashly, not only will we lose our reputation, but we will also leave behind a bad name. It is also possible for the two opposing families to join forces. It is more than enough for us to deal with one family alone. If we deal with the two families together, the outcome is unpredictable. Now, we can only drag it out slowly. After a long time, we'll see who can't hold on first. Our family is big. Even if we don't make money, we can afford to lose money. If we really drag it out for eight to ten years, those two might really have to go to the northwest to drink the wind. Let's drag it out. Anyway, it's beneficial for us!”
Although Lin Yuanshan had a sharp weapon to change the current balance, it was far more beneficial for him to maintain this balance before he developed. As for why he didn't tell Lin Yunhai about this situation, it was because Lin Yuanshan felt that it was better to always have a trump card. It might not be useful now, but it might become the last straw at the critical moment. He could use this to turn the tide.
"Alright, since Young Master has already made up your mind, I won't mention this matter anymore. If Young Master plans to make a move at any time, just give me an order and I will do it for you even if I have to risk my life! I'll ask them to clean up the two rooms next to the main courtyard. There's also a warehouse next to it. Don't worry, I'll definitely clean up everything for you before lunch. I won't miss out on anything that should be there, and I'll clean up everything that shouldn't be there!”
"Young Master, do you need me to make some arrangements in the kitchen? Let Chun Niang cook for ten more people every day. When the time comes, let them get it themselves or I'll arrange for someone to send it to them.”
"Alright, tell Chun Niang to cook for ten more people every day. Also, isn't there a small warehouse behind the main courtyard I live in? He packed everything up in advance and prepared a set of kitchenware, a stove, a chimney, and two bellows before dinner. We'll trouble them for a day or two at most. When the time comes, we'll let them cook for themselves. This group of people is used to being wild outside. Our food might not be to their liking. When the time comes, we'll let them solve it themselves!”
"Uncle Yunhai, you just need to pass down my instructions. You don't need to go down and take care of it yourself. If you have nothing to do, drink some tea, take a walk, and chat with old friends. Nothing big should happen during this period of time. Those people fight all day long and it doesn't have much to do with us. It's better for us to close our doors and live our lives honestly. When he was bored, he could go to the theater, drink tea, eat melon seeds, and watch a big show. That would be the joy of life! I still have other things to do. I've missed a lot of homework during this period of time. I have to make up for it as soon as possible!”
"Alright, Young Master. Don't worry and go study! I'll pass on the instructions first. Just as you said, if there's nothing else, I'll go out for a walk and enjoy my life for a few days!”
"Oh right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. Go and order someone to call the manager and shopkeeper of the grain trading company over. Also, bring the account books over. The accounts from last year have been delayed and haven't been sorted out yet. Two hours later, have them come to my residence. Also, have them bring the remaining silver to me. I haven't seen last year's profits yet. If this goes on, I think this grain trading company won't be surnamed Lin anymore. Maybe I, the owner, will still be kept in the dark. These people are getting bolder and bolder!”Lin Yuanshan was furious at the mention of this matter. They were really bullying people. They were treating children as if they weren't human. Uncle could tolerate it, but Auntie couldn't. They had to deal with them first.
"Young Master, when you mention this matter, I'm filled with anger. Those people from the grain trading company should have taught them a lesson long ago so that they know who their master is. They flirt with someone every day and even embezzled a lot of money. If this continues, the grain trading company's business will definitely collapse. Back then, the old madam had left behind this grain trading company. It was a treasure trove. It could earn at least 10,000 yuan a year. Now, it was only slightly more than 1000 yuan a year. It could be seen how much profit they had made.”
"In the past two years, the soldiers have been fighting each other. The price of food has been getting higher and higher, and the profits have been at least two to three times higher than before. So much money has been fed to these wolves. Not only do these people not know how to be grateful, but they also want to be ungrateful wolves. There is no loyalty at all. They are completely in the eyes of money and can't be pulled out. Just like what Master said before, if we don't fight for three days, we can't be nice to these people. Otherwise, they would think that the main family was weak and could be bullied. These two years, they had been jumping around too happily. It would be best if they could spit out all that they had eaten. It would just be enough to make up for the deficit in the residence for the past two years.”
"These two years, we have been eating our old capital. If this continues, no matter how big the family business is, there will be a day when we will be poor. Not only do those two families not pay us money, but they also give them a large amount of money every year. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before they sit and eat! It would be best to take back the cloth shop and the restaurant. In this way, not only would they be able to make up for the deficit, but they would also be able to have a lot of savings every year. In the long run, they would definitely be able to accumulate a considerable family business. I've already told you this many times, Young Master. Every time, you've said to wait. When should we wait until then? Don't let them become fat and our strength will become weaker and weaker. At that time, the situation of both sides will be reversed. We can only watch them act arrogantly while we can only be cowards!”
“……”
Lin Yunhai's face was filled with anger as if someone owed him millions. For a loyal man like him, seeing his master being bullied like this was more painful than killing him. The reason why he didn't do anything himself was that his young master was still young. Otherwise, he would have killed those people long ago. How could he let them continue to live freely in this world?
"Alright, alright, stop talking! Let me think about this matter first. It doesn't matter now. I'll do what I told you to do first. No one can eat a fatty in one bite. Let's take it slow and slowly grind it like boiling a frog in warm water! Anyway, I'm still young. Let's see who can beat who?”
"Alright, I'm a little talkative this time. I'll go and settle the things that Young Master has arranged for me first. Young Master, do you need to arrange for guards to keep an eye on those people? Don't let them cause any more trouble!”
"It's really like having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. This is indeed a little negligent. If you let the guards handle this matter, I believe those people won't dare to act rashly. The guns in the hands of the guards aren't for decoration. Who asked them to have any evil intentions? Just shoot them directly. Don't give these people any face. Now, these people are all looking down on my Lin family. This time, I can teach them a lesson and let them keep their little thoughts in mind! Alright, let's put it this way! I'll go to the backyard first. I still have some things to do!”
"Alright, Young Master! I won't force you. Whenever you want to make a move, you just have to say this. Even if there are mountains of blades and seas of flames ahead, I won't frown!”
Lin Yunhai looked at Lin Yuanshan's back as he left. A light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dimmed. He was probably the only one who knew what he was thinking. Soon, he returned to his old and relaxed posture. He took small steps and walked in the direction of the guards.
Lin Yuanshan had been thinking about a problem on the way. Those people from the grain trading company were too bold. Either there must be someone backing them up, or these people had already sold themselves for a good price and had already established connections with other forces. Not only would he be able to protect his family, but he would also be able to obtain a considerable sum of money.
Regardless of whether it was ancient or modern, no one would do a losing business, but countless people would do a killing business. In the end, it was still a profit. Since ancient times, wealth had moved people's hearts. Sometimes, people's hearts were the most unreliable. It was better to be cautious. Learn from Sima Yi. That was the true winner in life. You had to learn to endure. You had to lead but not unleash. If you didn't make a sound, you would stop. If you made a sound, you would shock the world. Once you made a move, you definitely couldn't give the other party any chance. You had to break their spine in one go. Only then would it be enough to deter them. Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys was indeed a good method. As the saying goes, if you don't make a sound, it's already done. If you don't move, it will be fine. If you move, it will hurt people.
From today onwards, he had to pay attention to his diet. He did not want to be poisoned to death after transmigrating for a few days. That would probably make him the most miserable transmigrator in the world. It was safer to eat his own food.
