Seeing that Mrs. Liao was about to speak with an unshakable face, Mrs. Ren continued, "But I'm not a ruthless person. When my father said this, the Ren family only had these few coal mines in Yanzhou, and they didn't include I bought the three mines in the south, so the ones in the south can be distributed to you, and the prospects for these coal mines are not bad. I originally handed them over to my second brother, who knows best."

Liao's face finally calmed down. She also knew what Ren Baoming had said before that the two families would not separate the family and property, otherwise she would not have endured until today to propose the separation of the family and property, but she didn't know It turns out that the old man didn't just leave words, but also written documents.

You must know that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if the dispute over the division of family property among descendants was brought to the government, the last words left by the ancestors in black and white were also the basis for the government to judge the distribution of family property.

Even if they knew that they would suffer losses if they knew such a division, the Liao family would not be able to say anything to refute, otherwise if they really annoyed Mrs. Ren and used Ren Baoming to suppress them, they would not even be able to fish for the only three coal mines. It's just that the Liao family couldn't help but feel depressed. After all, they are all descendants of the old man, so what's the matter with favoring one another? Isn't their family a direct line?

In fact, Ren Baoming can’t be blamed for favoring one another. In Yanbei, as long as there are some families in the family, the eldest son will share most of the family’s property, because this can ensure that the power of the family will not be dispersed due to too many grandchildren, which is beneficial to the family. long-term development.

"Then what about the one and a half million taels that you took out? Why don't we have a share too?" Liao said with a grim expression.

Old Master Ren said: "Most of the 1.5 million taels was allocated from Yanbei's coal stockpile. The money from Jiangnan has not been used, and it will be borne by Yanbei in the future. But the annual six Cheng's profits turned over include all the properties under the name of Ren's family, and the future of the coal warehouses in Jiangnan and Kyoto will also be counted, this is not something I can decide."

Liao curled her lips: "The Ren family has been in business for so many years, there must be some money in the business?"

The old man Ren nodded and said: "It is true that I have some savings, but in recent years they have been spent 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. Besides... Ren The family has not been separated yet, since the benefits are shared, the risks should be shared, so the second siblings still need to pay attention to their words. In addition, this house and the other courtyard in Yunyang City, as well as those in Yanzhou All the property is considered as the ancestral property of the Ren family. It is only handed down to the eldest son of the eldest son, and it is not divided. This is written in the father's will. As for the houses in the capital and the south of the Yangtze River, they are all distributed to you. The Dongfu where you live now , whether you want to move out or continue to live is up to you. Even if we are separated, we are still a family."

Liao's words seemed to be reasonable after listening to Mrs. Ren, but she just felt something was wrong in her heart, but what Mrs. Ren said was justified. She couldn't find a reason to refute.

Liao and Mr. Ren exchanged glances, and Liao said, "We still need to discuss this matter. Although you are the head of the family, you can't divide it as you say, can you?"

The old man Ren said tolerantly: "That's natural, you can raise any opinions you have. As long as it is a reasonable request, I can consider it. But I still think what my father said is reasonable. Our Ren family is not too prosperous. It would be better if we can stay together."

Mrs. Liao had been looking forward to decades and finally waited until the family could be separated, but she was not willing to do so. She immediately shook her head and said resolutely: "It's already been said for this sake, it's better to divide."

Old Master Ren sighed: "Then you go back and discuss it first, the rest of the matter will be discussed after the second brother's letter from Beijing."

Liao also didn't want to stay here for long. Sitting in the guest seat, she felt uncomfortable no matter how she sat, she immediately stood up and said to the second master: "Shi Yuan, let's go back first." After speaking, she nodded to the old master Ren and went out first.

Ren Shiyuan bowed to Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren. Also followed out.

As soon as they left, the old lady Ren's expression fell.

Old Mrs. Ren seemed a little tired, and said: "Stay for a while, you all go out too."

Ren Shimin and others also withdrew.

Seeing that there were only the three of them left in the room, the old lady Ren said: "Master, do you really want to separate the family from them? Now is the difficult time for the Ren family. Wouldn't it be more difficult to divide the family property at this time? "Speaking of this, the old lady Ren was full of resentment. "In recent years, the Ren family has tried their best to support Jiangnan's industry and lost most of the money from the public. Now that they have seen improvement, it has become theirs! That's fine, but the Liao family is still thinking about that. The debt of 1.5 million taels has to be borne by us alone. If she dares to share in the good things, we have to bear all the bad things? She has a good plan! In my opinion, we should follow the old master's words, who If you want to insist on dividing the family, then divide the family without dividing the property! Let's see what else they are making a fuss about!"

Old Mrs. Ren sighed. After hearing this, Mrs. Ren couldn't help being stunned. People like Mr. Ren have always been strong, and he rarely sighs.

"Grandpa..."

Old Mrs. Ren said: "If it is possible not to separate the family, I will not agree to divide the family at this time. But now it seems that it may not be a bad thing to separate."

The old lady Ren was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

Old Mrs. Ren leaned back on the seat, and said in a low voice: "From the time Shi Zhong and I were imprisoned this time and what happened after that, the fate of the Ren family is due to the attitude of the Yanbei Palace. Now Now we have rejected the Zeng family's marriage, but I will intervene in the capital..."

The old lady Ren was surprised when she heard the words: "You mean to give up those properties? But the Ren family has spent a lot of effort on this over the years."

Old Mrs. Ren said: "I don't want to give up, that's why I took advantage of the opportunity of this separation to hand over the properties other than Yanbei to my second brother. From now on, I will hand over the affairs of Jiangnan to them. On the surface, I will not If you intervene again, it will be regarded as an expression of opinion with the Yanbei Palace."

Master Ren said: "Father means to separate the Yanbei and Jiangnan industries, so that even if there is a conflict between the imperial court and Yanbei in the future, we have already separated from Second Uncle and the others. Bei runs Yanbei's coal mines and coal warehouses, while Second Uncle and the others are in charge of Jiangnan, so the conflict between the imperial court and Yanbei will not involve our Ren family." The old man Ren has learned a lesson this time and has a long memory.

Old Madam Ren understood, but she was worried: "But second brother, does he understand what you mean? If it's like Liao's..."

Old Master Ren smiled when he heard the words, and said casually: "There has always been only one head of the Ren family."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ren Shizhong again and said in a deep voice, "Boss, you also remember this sentence, there is only one head of the Ren family!"

Master Ren bowed his head and said yes.

The old lady Ren finally understood, it turned out that the old lady Ren didn't really want to divide the family property, it was just an expedient plan he thought of taking advantage of the opportunity of the Liao family wanting to divide the family! The purpose is to let the Ren family minimize the risk that the Ren family will bear when there is a conflict between the imperial court and Yanbei in the future!

Thinking of this, the old lady Ren's sulking anger at Liao Shi finally dissipated a lot.

A few days later, the Ren family received a letter from the second old man of the Dongfu from the capital.

In the letter, the second old man agreed to the method of dividing the family proposed by the old man Ren. The old man got all the coal mines and coal warehouses in Yanbei, and Dongfu took over the coal mines and coal warehouses in Jiangnan and Jingdu. The second old man has been in charge of the business in Jiangnan and Kyoto for these years, and now the coal warehouse there is making a lot of profit every month. In a year or two, it may not be able to surpass the industry in Yanbei. As for the coal mine of the Ren family, The second old man also knew the legacy left by his father back then, and the few old men who could be assigned to Jiangnan were not considered cheating on him.

However, the second old man also raised it, and he has no other opinions, but because the coal warehouses in the south of the Yangtze River are about to improve, if he gives the government 60% of the income every year, he is afraid that he will not be able to maintain it, so he asks anyone The old man temporarily paid 10% in advance for him, and he only paid 50%.

After receiving the letter, Mrs. Ren replied to him, promising to advance 10% of the profits for him in the first three years.

The second old lady readily agreed after seeing the letter. As for the second old lady Liao Shi of Dongfu, the second old lady must have sent her a letter, so she didn't come here to make trouble.

After that, there will be a handover between the two parties. In fact, the business on the Jiangnan side has always been handed over to the East Mansion, and there is not much to hand over. The second old master said that he would let the fourth master come back as soon as possible to settle this matter.

So almost in a very peaceful atmosphere, the East Mansion and the West Mansion divided the family.

On the surface, the separation of the Ren family seems to have no effect on the Ren family. At least the younger generations of the Ren family can hardly feel the difference between the division and the non-separation.

The matter of the Ren family has come to an end for the time being, and the third room of the Ren family will also leave Baihe Town and return to Yunyang City.

Some time ago, due to an accident in the Ren family, Ren Shimin stayed in the Ren family's ancestral house. Later, the old man's condition gradually improved, and Ren Shimin went to Yunyang Academy every now and then, but Li and Ren Yaoqi still stayed in Baihe Town.

Now, the people in the third room can also move back to the house in Yunyang City in a legitimate way.

Mrs. Li stayed in Yunyang City for a while, but now that she has returned to the Ren family's ancestral house where she has lived for more than ten years, she is not used to it. When something happened to Ren's family suddenly, the huā party that Mrs. Li had planned to hold in the new house ended up being over. After returning this time, she was finally able to send out the invitations, so Mrs. Li was in a very good mood.
