Old Master Ren raised his hand to signal Liao to listen to him finish his words. Seeing that the matter was going well, Liao immediately stopped interrupting.
Old Master Ren said, "I asked my eldest son to write a letter to my second brother in Kyoto the day before yesterday. If he agrees to divide the family and agrees with the method of division I gave, then let's do it this way." Old Master Ren leaned back in his chair a little tiredly.
Liao was pleasantly surprised at first, but after a moment's thought, she felt something was amiss and hurriedly asked, "Uncle has already written in the letter how the family will be divided. So, can you please tell us about it as well?"
Old Master Ren nodded at Master Ren.
Master Ren said, "Father means that all the coal warehouses outside of Yanbei, including Jiangnan and Jingdu, will be taken over by Second Uncle from now on."
The Ren family has invested a lot in Jiangnan and Kyoto in recent years. In terms of scale, the number of coal warehouses in Jiangnan, including Kyoto, is no less than that in Yanbei.
Originally, the coal warehouse in Kyoto was not profitable, but since the Fang family helped the Ren family to connect with that nobleman, the coal warehouse in the south is now making considerable profits.
Master Ren Er couldn't help but have his eyes flicker as he listened below.
Liao had received letters from the second and fourth masters before, and knew that the coal mines in the south were making good profits, so she was quite satisfied with this division. After all, the second master had been running the business in the south for many years, and the coal warehouses in Yanbei were all managed by the West Mansion.
However, Liao still pretended to be dissatisfied: "Our Ren family has been running the coal warehouse in Yanbei for many years. Although Jiangnan has improved a lot now, it still cannot be compared with the coal warehouse in Yanbei. If we divide it this way, our family will suffer!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ren didn't argue, but simply nodded and said, "Then we can use the second method of division. My second brother and I are no longer young, and the future of the Ren family will depend on the younger generation. Therefore, I will divide all of the Ren family's coal warehouses in Yanbei and Yannan into five parts and hand them over to the younger generation like Shizhong to manage. I will completely become a hands-off manager."
Liao couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "Why five servings?"
Old Master Ren said calmly, "There are only five brothers in their generation, so naturally there are five portions."
Liao couldn't help but choke. She only had two sons, but this side had three. Wasn't this obviously putting them at a disadvantage?
"How?" Old Master Ren raised his eyebrows.
Liao coughed lightly and said, "Let's put the coal warehouse issue aside for now and talk about how to divide the coal mine."
Old Master Ren pondered for a moment and said, "My father's will was that the Ren family would not be divided. If my descendants insist on dividing the family regardless of this will, all of the Ren family's coal mines will belong to the eldest branch of the Ren family."
"What!" Liao's eyes turned red with anxiety and she almost jumped up.
You can open a coal warehouse as long as you have money, but you may not be able to buy good coal mines even if you have money.
Old Master Ren made a calming gesture, "Father did write down these instructions, and my second brother is aware of them. I'm not just making them up."
