You must know that the war in Yuan Kingdom is tense now. Let alone two cents of simple interest, even if the Rongshan Sect proposes three or four cents of compound interest, it still has to pinch its nose to get the loan.
"The Rongshan Sect sent me here to review the operating conditions of these mines, pastures, and harbors." To put it bluntly, He Lingchuan and Hu Qin were responsible for checking and confirming whether they were worth it. "In addition to these seven million taels, the mortgage for the previous loan
The quality also needs to be reviewed.”
"Ah..." Mr. Wang calmed down slightly, "Okay, it should be."
"Also, the Rongshan Sect must approve the whereabouts of the seven million taels of money one by one!" He Lingchuan said seriously, "If the items cannot be passed, they will not be released."
Master Wang was stunned: "Ah, this, isn't this the original amount in the agreement?"
"The Rongshan Sect has basically not changed the agreement listed by the Yuan Kingdom, except for adding this clause. Head Xue said that if the Yuan Kingdom does not agree, the agreement will be canceled immediately, and the Yuan Kingdom will be asked to pay off all past debts!"
Sweat immediately broke out on Master Wang's forehead.
Who can take this deal from God? There is no precedent.
He immediately said: "Rong, Rong. Let's review the mortgage first, and I will report your request immediately."
"It's not my request." He Lingchuan corrected, "It's a special statement from Head Xue of Rongshan Sect!"
"Okay, let's read this issue first."
As soon as Mr. Wang gave an order, the clerks brought over the account books.
He Lingchuan waited for a while, but no account books came back. There were only a dozen notebooks piled on the table. He frowned: "That's all?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Mr. Hu, please." He Lingchuan signaled to Hu Qin, who immediately took the two Rongshan disciples to start flipping through the books.
"This is Hu Qin, the deputy deputy envoy, who specializes in helping me handle these review tasks." He Lingchuan introduced Hu Qin while expressing dissatisfaction, "It's too short. Five mortgages, only this little information?"
"These are high-quality assets. They are operated in an orderly manner every year and the harvest is very stable."
Hu Qin casually took out a book and took a look at it: "Let's just say that although this Yongshan Mine can produce Shaoling Mine, it has been mined for more than 40 years. The remaining mineral reserves can continue to be mined for another three years.
Ten years?”
"There should be no problem. The mining volume of Yongshan Mine has been steadily increasing in recent years, and the quality is good. From the observation of the ground rock, the reserves should be very abundant, and you can also see it in the book."
Hu Qin sighed slightly: "But the special envoy and I have been to Yongshan Mine on this trip. The local old miners said that the good ore in Yongshan Mine has been mined, and the rest has to be mined in inclined shafts.
The quality of the ore is also average and requires a lot of quenching in the later stage. This requires more miners and more smelting and forging grounds."
"How is that possible?" Master Wang asked in surprise, "The oral statements of one or two people are not enough evidence."
At this time, the Rongshan disciple on the side handed He Lingchuan a notebook: "Special envoy, this is last year's income, but the information for the last two months is missing."
Mr. Wang answered: "The information has not been delivered yet. It will be supplemented in two days."
"Let's talk about Wusong Port." Hu Qin opened another notebook and said, "Baling Kingdom has recently built a new canal and dam, forcing the river to change its course. If we take the new river course, the journey of Xuyang River can be shortened by two days. Wusong Port's
Passenger and freight traffic will be greatly reduced..."
This assistant to the special envoy came well prepared. Mr. Wang was not familiar with this area. He looked at the officials beside him, and the latter said: "Baling Kingdom does want to build new canals and dams, but the construction has not started yet. The hydrology there is
The conditions are complex, and it will take at least five or seven years to repair them. Moreover, the sedimentation is serious, and I don’t know whether it is possible to ship goods all year round. In comparison, the most stable and safe way is to ship goods from Wusong Port..."
Both parties come and go, calculating item by item.
Unknowingly, three hours had passed and Mr. Wang had also slipped away.
Hu Qin was still in high spirits. He Lingchuan stood up, stretched and called for Mr. Wang:
"Mr. Wang, let's stop here today and continue tomorrow?"
He had to save some energy and go home for the big event.
…
When He Lingchuan returned to He Mansion, it was getting late, but He Chunhua hadn't arrived home yet.
As soon as he entered his yard, someone followed him and shouted at the same time:
"Young Master!"
The voice sounded familiar. He Lingchuan turned around and saw Shan Youjun. He couldn't help but chuckle: "You're here."
He once recruited two people from the Dunyu Li family, one of whom was Shan Youjun. Later, He Lingchuan used him and Jiao Tai as his team to build his own personal guard, which was much more powerful than He Chunhua's supporting army.
It's a pity that He Lingchuan fell into the water in the Han River and was unable to take the team with him.
Shan Youjun also looked happy: "Uncle said you are back, so I will come over quickly."
Ding Zuodong and Shan Youjun are uncles and nephews, and they both originally worked for He Lingchuan. After Mr. He fell into the water, they were all absorbed by He Chunhua.
Qiu Hu stood behind He Lingchuan with an indifferent expression.
Shan Youjun subconsciously looked at him twice. The person standing behind the young master before was himself.
He Lingchuan said a few good words before asking him: "I heard that you are married?"
"Ah, yes." Shan Youjun said in surprise, "I fell in love with a girl in Dunyu and married her four months ago."
While they were talking, a servant came to invite He Lingchuan.
He Chunhua is back.
There was still a little time before dinner, so he called He Lingchuan into the study.
Qiu Hu stopped and stood guard outside the study.
He Chunhua closed the door and asked the first question: "How is the trial of the agreement going?"
"The information is not complete enough. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it, but there are many omissions." He Lingchuan scratched the back of his head, "I have to pick them out one by one later and discuss them carefully. By the way, father, when did you find the person for me?
Able to?"
"The day after tomorrow at the latest." He Chunhua was also very reliable in doing things. He took a few steps and said directly: "Why did you stop me from entering today? How can you, a late-school student, figure out these professional matters?"
This is a major national event. The Rongshan Sect actually assigned it to a disciple who had been in the sect for less than half a year. It was really a mysterious operation to take a huge amount of money and not take it seriously!
Thinking of this, He Chunhua felt slightly stunned.
Head Xue of the Rongshan Sect is not yet Lao Hutu. Does this arrangement have a deeper meaning or is there some other secret?
Why should the eldest son be entrusted with important responsibilities?
He Lingchuan smiled and said: "You don't have the status of a special envoy. If you follow up and quarrel with your country's officials, I'm afraid your Majesty will be even more annoyed. I'm thinking about you."
He just went to find fault with the agreement today. Can dad do this openly?
He Chunhua just mentioned it casually, how could he not know the pros and cons? But he didn't like to be kept in the dark, and he didn't like things to be out of his control. This would make him frightened and have trouble sleeping and eating.
He dropped the topic and sat down: "Not long after you entered the Dian Ke Order, Your Majesty called me."
He Lingchuan also grabbed a chair and sat down on his own: "Are you kind to your Majesty?"
