Before the new Lin's residence
, Lin Batian was the boss, and all the affairs of the Lin's were decided by Lin Die and Lin Die, because they were the only two second-generation members of the Lin's family.
However, they also found a lot of people to help, and elite children from the fourth and fifth generations such as Lin Chaosheng, Lin Chaoyun, and Lin Chengzhi emerged.
Lin Die was angry and refused to work, so Lin Batian had to come forward in person. He summoned Lin Chaosheng and others to discuss the major affairs of the Lin's family.
"Patriarch, you're here just in time. Let's think of a solution quickly. Something big is going to happen."
"What's the matter
?" "I'm out of money. The younger generation in the family haven't received this month's salary yet."
"Patriarch, I need money too. In the battle of Qingzhou, seventeen of our Lin family members died and eighty-two were injured. The pensions haven't been paid yet. The remaining participants in the battle must also get a reward."
"Patriarch, it would be best if you were in charge. We now have nine people in the Lin family who have achieved Perfect Golden Core. The oldest is three hundred and sixty years old, and the youngest is over two hundred. We can't wait any longer. We have to find a baby-forming treasure for them."
"Patriarch..."
"Wait, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Lin Batian was angry again. As soon as he appeared, everyone asked for money. If this wasn't intentional, then what was he?
"Why do you say that, head of the family? These are the basic needs for the operation of the family, and we didn't embezzle them."
"Then tell me, what's left in the family treasury now?"
"Nothing. Even ten thousand spirit stones can't be found. The only resources we had were distributed before and were needed for the attack on Qingzhou."
"The battle of Qingzhou focused on looting. Where are the spoils
?" "They were given to Uncle Lin Wu in Shenmu City to sell, and we got back less than 30% of the resources. These are the remnants of the four major sects. They urged us to pay, so we gave them all first."
"Then let Lin Wu continue to sell."
"No, Lin Wu's business is closed."
"Why?"
"Shenmu Sect is looking for trouble. If they don't close, even the goods will be eaten by them,"
said Lin Chaosheng. He didn't say why he was looking for trouble. It was like a louse on a monk's head, an obvious thing.
"Humph, can a living person be suffocated to death by urine? Take out the account book and count the missing amount. I will make up for it."
"Make up for all?"
"Make up"
Lin Batian waved his hand. There was no money in the family treasury, but there was still money in his private treasury. As a big boss of Fanxu, it's not too much to have some wealth.
"Okay, wait a moment, patriarch"
Several people looked at each other, immediately turned out the account book, and after a busy integration, handed it to Lin Batian for review.
Lin Batian glanced at it nonchalantly, and his face stiffened in an instant.
"So much is missing?"
"Yes, that's it."
"This doesn't include the expenses of forming a newborn. For example, Lin Dongyan has an excellent talent for alchemy. The success rate of the sixth-level elixir is limited by his cultivation. He should have broken through long ago." "
And the third and tenth aunts, they have formed a newborn for so many years, and we have to find a way to break through to the spirit transformation for them. We can't delay the two aunts."
Several people talked to each other, and Lin Batian was silent. The Lin family had run out of money, and his small treasury could not support it.
Now, after nearly a hundred years of reproduction, the population of the Lin family has recovered to more than 2,000 people. Just their annual food, drink, defecation and salary cost tens of millions of spirit stones every year.
If someone wants to break through to the foundation building and golden elixir, it will be an additional expense. In addition, the Lin family maintains a harassment offensive against Qingzhou, and fighting costs money.
There are also expenses to support the remaining troops of the four major sects and the dark night assassins, and this does not include the breakthrough costs of the Nascent Soul and the spirit transformation.
Taking into account all the daily expenses, the Lin family needs at least 600 to 700 million spirit stones every year to meet them, and the key is that the Lin family has lost most of its financial resources.
In the past, the Lin family occupied Anhua City and had a large number of vassal tributes, so they lived a good life. But after leaving Yunzhou, the Lin family has moved many times. Without a stable source of income, the Lin family relies on eating up all the money and scraping together to make ends meet.
"Is there anything else to sell at home?"
"There is nothing left. Everything that can be sold has been sold. The only things we can sell are those precious treasures. Those are prepared for our family. It is extremely difficult to collect them."
Lin Chaosheng said. The Lin family only left a batch of the most precious treasures, all for Yuanying and above. These treasures were accumulated by them in Yunzhou for hundreds of years. They were all obtained by chance and could not be bought at ordinary times. If they were sold for daily expenses, it would be a pity.
"I didn't expect that the Lin family has been in such a difficult situation these years."
"Master, let me say something that I shouldn't say. The biggest expense for our family is the war against Qingzhou. If we can stop for a few years, with our ability, we can quickly restore the prosperity of the Lin family."
"Don't mention this matter again"
"Yes, Patriarch"
"I'll find a way to solve this matter. I have some money here. You can take it for emergency use. I'll write three urgent letters and you can send them to the three sects in Yunzhou to borrow some money for emergency use"
"The three sects may not lend them money"
"Ask first, if they don't lend them money, sell them a batch of secret techniques and skills, the ones from the four major sects"
"No, the secret techniques from the four major sects have already been given as the reward for this attack on Qingzhou"
"I..."
Lin Batian was anxious. Could it be that he had to sell the secret techniques and skills of the Lin family? No, this is not possible.
"Forget it, forget it. You can deal with the emergency first, and I'll think of a way"
Lin Batian sighed, not arguing anymore, or find a way to raise money, money in this world can solve 99% of the difficulties.

Shenmu City, Fengyun Business
The sudden closure of Fengyun Business caught many people off guard. They were really stunned by Lin Jiang's move, especially the Shenmu Sect, who were already sharpening their knives and ready to find fault with Fengyun Business.
When it comes to finding faults, they are very familiar with it. There are at least a hundred ways to make Fengyun Commercial House live a life worse than death.
But when Fengyun Commercial House was closed, they felt like they were punching the air and couldn't do anything.
The higher-ups were pressing them hard, so they could only find some small things to trouble Lin Jiang. For these troubles, Lin Jiang responded calmly. He apologized when he should apologize and paid the money according to the amount. He ignored the big ones and paid the small ones. If they were angry, he would tell them to run away overnight and break up.
However, the cooperative businesses of Lin Jiang were difficult to deal with. Many of these businesses had already received Lin Jiang's goods and were supposed to pay for the goods. It can be seen that Shenmu Sect was targeting Lin Jiang and they all shirked their responsibilities and wanted to eat up the money. What
's more, some of them wanted to add insult to injury and eat up the remaining goods of Lin Jiang at a super low price, directly copying Lin Jiang's old bottom.
Lin Jiang naturally would not let them get what they wanted. His goods came from the spoils of the Lin family, and he didn't spend money to buy them. It was not a normal business difficulty, so he kept gritting his teeth and not relaxing.
"Uncle, are you really not going to open the store?"
"We've suffered too much loss. The rent, the shop rent, the workers' salaries, these are daily expenses."
"Uncle..."
After being closed for half a month, the Lin family's children couldn't stand it anymore. They were the operators of the business and knew where the costs were. Now they were losing thousands or tens of thousands every day, and they felt distressed.
"Keep calm, why are you panicking? Once we find a new place to settle down, we can just move there,"
said Lin Jiang. He was not in a hurry at all. After he got the money back, he would withdraw and do business somewhere else. If it really didn't work out, he would go back to Yunzhou. There was always a way out.
"Hey, uncle, I'm a little panicked."
"What's the panic? Eat and drink as usual. You guys continue. I'm leaving first."
Lin Jiang shook his head. He, the boss, wasn't panicking, so why would you, a bunch of workers, panic?
Lin Jiang went to get some food, brought it to Lin Die, and said, "Third aunt, they said you like to eat these, so they bought some for you, eat some."
"I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."
"Your father did something wrong, do you have to punish yourself?"
"What nonsense, I won't starve to death if I don't eat, I'm just in a bad mood."
"Actually, Third aunt really doesn't need to be angry. The matter of Xiao Lingyue is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. And with Xiao Lingyue's Divine Transformation cultivation, it is impossible for her to give birth to children for the head of the family, and there is no need to worry about other troubles. Think of it this way, the head of the family has also found a master for the Lin family, which is a good thing." "
If you can't persuade others, don't persuade them
." Lin Die rolled her eyes. Is this what she is angry about? If you can't persuade others, you can shut up.
"Lin Wu is actually right."
Lin Die's voice had just fallen when a voice came from behind Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang didn't need to look back to know that his philandering father had arrived.
"Meet the head of the family"
"No need to be polite, sit down"
"Yes"
"Third brother, are you still angry?"
"I'm not angry"
"Your eyebrows are almost locked together, but I'm not angry yet, don't be angry, Dad was wrong before, Dad apologizes to you"
"I can't bear it"
"Dad is here to deal with things this time. The family is out of money, so I'll take care of it"
Lin Batian said, this matter is also easy to solve, what is the most profitable thing in the world, high-tech, or monopoly, none of them, in his opinion it is violence, as long as there is power, there is no money that can't be made.
He, Lin Batian, is not a person with low ambitions. If he has no money, he will go to make money, and if he can't make money, he will find a way. In a world where the strong prey on the weak, it is not shameful to rob others, but it is shameful to be robbed.
