Chapter 39 Running the Southern Country (1)

Frying tea requires experience. Guo Haoguang said it again. Those slaves must not be able to learn it. So Guo Hao asked them to do it themselves, and he guided them aside.

Guo Hao is busy here, and Chen Lin on the other side is not idle either. In a wide hall, there are several people sitting, namely Chen Lin’s second uncle Chen Xing, third uncle Chen Guang, and several clan elders.

The Chen family is a big family, with three direct lineages, namely Chen Xing, Chen Guang and Chen Lin's father Chen Ming.

Whenever there is a big event in the family, they will gather together, and the elderly in several tribes will be presided over, and they will usually handle it internally.

"Lin'er, you're so anxious to call us here. What do you want to say? Although you are the head of the family, you can't be so willful."

A clan elder was a little unhappy. Originally, such gatherings needed to be notified in advance, but Chen Lin used the rights of the head of the family to call them together directly, and said nothing after he came.

"Don't worry, the three clans elders are not here yet. When everyone comes, I will naturally give you an explanation!"

Chen Lin was calm and played with the fan in his hand. At this time, two people came outside, one of them was Chen Feng, and the other was unaware of his identity.

Seeing Chen Feng bringing the person, Chen Lin stood up and said, "Okay, now everyone is here. Actually, I called everyone here this time, and I just want to talk about my robbery."

As soon as Chen Lin said this, Chen Xing and Chen Guang were slightly moved. Several clan elders looked puzzled. They all knew that Chen Lin was robbed and there were bandits in that area, and it was expected that there would be danger. What was Chen Lin going to say?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Chen Lin sneered in his heart and said calmly: "You are all my elders. I am indeed a bit rude to do this, but this matter concerns my wealth and life, so I have to lose my rudeness!"

After Chen Lin said that, he looked at Chen Feng, and Chen Feng nodded, took out a letter and handed it to Chen Lin.

"Please look, this is Chen Feng discovered it from those bandits, which states the time and route of my return. Although there is no signature, it can prove that this incident was not accidental. Someone deliberately wanted to harm me and wanted me to die!"

As he said that, Chen Lin gave the letter to the three clan elders. The three clan elders were shocked, looked up at Chen Lin, then looked at Chen Xing and Chen Guang.

"You may not know this, Chen An, the gardener of the Chen family. This letter was sent by him. I don't want to say who assigned it, but the three clan elders need to be a witness!

Chen Lin thinks he is good to the Chen family. He has been working diligently in recent years and has been going to dangerous places in the northern country many times. And you are enjoying endlessly at home. Chen Lin has never said anything.

But even so, there are still people who want to harm me. Do you think we orphans are easy to bully, or do you think I, the head of the family, are incompetent?

Since this is the case, the three clan elders are here today, so I would like to ask the three clan elders to be a witness. Chen Lin doesn’t want to be scared all day long, and this matter must be settled!"

After Chen Lin finished speaking, Chen Xing and Chen Guang looked at each other, Chen Xing said, "Lin'er, this is all a misunderstanding. We are a family, how could anyone harm you? You must be a troublemaker!"

"I don't care whether it's an outsider or not, but I don't plan to be the head of the family."

The two were stunned when they heard this. Could it be that Chen Lin wanted to become the monk's head? If there is such a good thing, would he be crazy?

"Then what do you want?" Chen Guang asked.

The three clan elders also looked at Chen Lin. They knew that Chen Lin was definitely not as simple as not being the head of the family, and they must have other requirements.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Lin said two words: "Splitting the family!"

"What? Never!"

The first elders of the big clan opposed the fact that the Chen family could have today was unity. The Chen family rose in the late Tang Dynasty, and the Chen family's ancestors were the governors of Jiangning.

Later, when the Tang Dynasty fell, the Chen family stood firm and had the strength they are today after a hundred years of operation. If the family division is divided, the power will disperse.

The old clan always thought about the family and did not agree to the division, but Chen Xing and Chen Guang were moved. They actually had ideas for a long time, but they just didn't dare to say it.

"Old of the big clan, Chen Lin doesn't want to separate the family, but you have also seen that someone wants my life. My family mainly continues to work, and may not die one day.

Chen Lin is not a pity for death, but I have my mother and sister. You watched me grow up, and the same is true for Ning'er. Do you just bear to watch us encounter an unexpected situation?

I did this for the sake of the Chen family. Collusion with bandits is a crime of beheading. If this matter hits the government, our Chen family may..."

"Ahem, since Lin'er wants to split up, we still have to respect his opinions. Now he is still the head of the family."

"Chen Xing, you!"

Chen Xing suddenly spoke up with Chen Lin. Chen Xing always regarded himself as an uncle on weekdays and did not regard Chen Lin as the head of the family. Everyone saw it.

But this is an internal matter of the Chen family, and it is difficult for outsiders to participate. Now that Chen Lin wants to separate the family, it has already involved the entire ethnic group. The old clan is angry, but he doesn't want to disturb the official government.

"The second brother is right. Since Lin'er wants to split up the family, let's split. The split is just our split and will not affect the ethnic group."

Chen Lin finally let go, and the two brothers were afraid of the three clan elders to stop him, so they did not hide it and directly agreed to split up.

Chen Lin looked at the two uncles and sneered in his heart. He had seen through their faces long ago. He had been silly for so many years, and he had enough.

"Since the second uncle and the third uncle agree to split the family, let's talk about how to split the family next."

The three direct descendants are already in the future, and the clan cannot stop them. If they try their best to stop them, once they make trouble, they may be killed.

The three clan elders stopped talking, which was accused of the decision. Chen Lin continued: "The Chen family's business is mainly divided into three parts, porcelain, silk, and tea, among which porcelain and silk account for the majority.

The Chen family has more than 100 stores in the Tang Dynasty, three Jin countries in the Central Plains, with a wealth of 5 million yuan. I have listed the specific details."

As he said that, Guo Hao asked someone to come up with a list and send it to Chen Xing, Chen Guang and the three clan elders. The two nodded when they saw it. The list was very detailed.

"Then, how do you plan to divide it? This store is easy to divide it, but this business..."

The two elders were a little hesitant, and the three business incomes were uneven, among which tea was the least profitable. If one person was one, who would definitely not be willing to get the tea.

However, Chen Lin's next words surprised them very much.

"I only want tea for business, and I give it to the Chen family's tea mountain. I don't want any other porcelain kilns or silk workshops.

There are more than a hundred shops, and there are 35 states in the Tang Dynasty. Each state can give me one. The three families in the Central Plains belong to me, and the ancestral home belong to me. The money is distributed equally. What do you think?"

"You actually want a tea business?"

The Chen brothers looked disbelief, but Chen Lin nodded. The reason why he made this decision was because of Guo Hao's appearance, which prompted him to make up his mind was Guo Hao's book "Journey to the West".

The three clan elders were talking, and the two brothers looked at each other, feeling that there was no better result than this. At this time, the clan elder spoke.

"You uncle and nephew have separated the family. Who will be responsible for the other disciples in the clan?"

After the elders of the clan said, the Chen brothers were silent. At this time, Chen Lin said: "If the two uncles don't want to, I can be responsible."

When the two looked at Chen Lin in surprise when they heard this, they seemed to look at a fool. The five people in the Chen family were quite expensive, and they had a considerable expense every year. The two wanted to have an average burden, but they didn't expect Chen Lin to take it all.

The three clan elders sighed in their hearts, while regretting the Chen family, they were also regretting the Chen brothers. It is difficult for them to accomplish great things when they are so skilled in calculating!

"Since that's the case, you have made a decision, so we won't say much. If there is no other opinion, just do what Lin'er said. You can make a note and hand over the rest yourself."

The three of them nodded when they heard this, so they made a deposit. When they were sharing the money, Chen Lin took two million guan, which was considered as the expenses of the disciples in the clan. The others were the same as before, and Chen Lin did not take any advantage.

Chen Lin was so clear that he didn't care about the two of them. In the afternoon, Guo Hao waited for Chen Lin to come back in the yard. He heard the noise outside. When he went out, he saw that he was moving things.

"Chen Fu, what are they doing? Are they moving?"
