After saying that, he glanced at Ren Shizhong again and said in a deep voice, "Boss, remember this too. There is only one head of the Ren family!"
Master Ren lowered his head and replied yes.
Mrs. Ren then understood that Old Master Ren didn't really want to divide the family property. This was just a temporary measure he had come up with, taking advantage of the Liao family's desire to divide the family! His goal was to minimize the risks the Ren family would face in the event of a future conflict between the imperial court and Yanbei!
Thinking of this, the anger that Mrs. Ren had previously felt towards Liao finally dissipated a lot.
A few days later, the Ren family received a letter from the second old master of the East Palace from the capital.
In the letter, the Second Old Master agreed to the division of the family proposed by Old Master Ren. Old Master Ren would receive all of Yanbei's coal mines and coal warehouses, while the East Palace would take over the coal mines and coal warehouses in Jiangnan and Jingdu. The Second Old Master had been managing the businesses in Jiangnan and Jingdu for many years, and the coal warehouses there were now making a considerable monthly profit. In a year or two, they might surpass the business in Yanbei. As for the Ren family's coal mines, the Second Old Master was aware of his father's legacy, and being able to get the few in Jiangnan was not a betrayal to Old Master Ren.
However, the second old master also raised the issue. He had no objection to anything else, but because the coal warehouse in Jiangnan was just beginning to improve, he was afraid that he would not be able to sustain it if he gave 60% of the profits to the government every year. So he asked Old Master Ren to temporarily advance 10% for him, and he would only give 50%.
After receiving the letter, Old Master Ren wrote back to him and promised to advance him 10% of the profits for the first three years.
After reading the letter, the second old master readily agreed. As for the second old lady Liao in the East Palace, the second old master must have already sent her a letter, so she did not come to cause trouble.
After that, there was a handover between the two parties. In fact, the business in Jiangnan had always been handed over to the East Palace, so there was not much to hand over. The Second Old Master agreed to have the Fourth Old Master come back as soon as possible to take care of this matter.
So in a very peaceful atmosphere, the East Mansion and the West Mansion divided their property.
On the surface, this split of the Ren family seems to have no impact on the Ren family. At least the younger generations of the Ren family can hardly feel the difference between splitting up and not splitting up.
The affairs of the Ren family have come to an end for the time being, and the third branch of the Ren family is about to leave Baihe Town and return to Yunyang City.
Because something happened to the Ren family some time ago, Ren Shimin stayed in the Ren family's ancestral home. Later, when Grandpa Ren's condition gradually improved, Ren Shimin went to Yunyang Academy every now and then. However, Li and Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua still stayed in Baihe Town.
Now, the people from the third branch can move back to their house in Yunyang City with good reason.
Li had been in Yunyang City for a while, and now she was feeling a bit uncomfortable returning to the Ren family's ancestral home, where she had lived for over a decade. Something had happened to the Ren family, and the flower show Li had originally planned to hold in the new house had fallen through. This time, after returning, she could finally send out the invitations, so she was in a very good mood.
