Yun Ye patted his forehead and said to Liu Jinbao: "Throw shopkeeper Zhou from the boat into the sea. Be careful not to break the tea cup."
Old Zhou watched in astonishment as Liu Jinbao walked toward him. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Jinbao picked him up and walked to the side of the ship, about to throw Shopkeeper Zhou off the ship.
Lao Zhou clung to the side of the ship and refused to let go. His pitiful screams were deafening, making Liu Jinbao unable to make a move. Yun Ye saw people on the shore looking towards the ship one after another, so he asked Liu Jinbao to let go of Lao Zhou.
"Old Zhou, you fucking dare not go to the empress. You can't find the prince and you are thrown out by the King of Wei. How dare you come to me? You're a picker of persimmons. What a skill. You know clearly that I was tricked by the empress.
You still dare to come to me, do you think I won’t dare to throw you into the sea?”
It seemed that Lao Zhou had been thrown out more than once, so he returned to the deck, calmed down, returned to the chair as if nothing had happened, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea and said to Yun Ye: "Okay, now I have asked for it."
I was in debt, and you threw me into the sea. I struggled to climb ashore. Next time Lao Huang asks you, remember to say this, this matter will be solved, I am not in a hurry, this is the bank's rule.
I'm just following the rules. I heard that you set the rules. You know what's going on better than me.
What I care about is the profits of my Jiangnan branch. Marquis Yun is selling treasures in Mingzhou, and there will definitely be a large amount of money coming in. It will not be troublesome to transport the money back and forth. You only need to let those merchants deposit the money in the bank.
, I will give you a big cash check. Wouldn’t it be convenient for you to withdraw cash in Chang’an?
Besides, the imperial court is in urgent need of money. You can tell from the fact that the empress unreasonably went to the bank to get money. Now it's fine. You only need to deposit the money and the empress can withdraw cash in Chang'an. It's convenient and fast. The bank also makes a little profit and takes a small position.
Isn’t everyone happy?”
"This is a good saying. It is the empress who owes money. Just ask her for money. When doing business, you should do business. I don't want the bank to only bear this obligation this time. Since you just collected the debt so powerfully,
I suggest you lend money to the merchants on the shore and then collect it back. This is a huge income, don't you think about it? As long as you meet fewer creditors like us, it will definitely be a good deal."
Lao Zhou smiled confidently, clapped his hands, took out a small scroll from his arms and showed it to Yun Ye. He explained at the same time that the bank had already considered this aspect. This large amount of money transaction would be difficult to deal with in a year.
Come across, so the bank will not miss this good opportunity. As for debt collection, don’t worry, you are the only ones who dare to default on the debt and even throw the shopkeeper into the water. The rest, not even the princes or princes of the country dare to
not return."
There was nothing to teach. The idea they came up with after brainstorming was perfect. At least it was not something Yun Ye, a half-hearted person like Yun Ye, could find fault with. Lao Zhou explained some of the important connections to Yun Ye and left in a hurry, preparing to participate.
Auction of treasures.
Wu Jian stared at it personally. Thousands of sailors surrounded the venue. There was no money in sight. There were only pieces of paper. The merchants enjoyed this kind of transaction without seeing money and smelling the smell of copper.
I feel much more elegant.
It's cheap. A four-foot-long ivory costs 800 guan. You can throw away the little coral that is a treasure at home. A four- to five-foot-tall red coral mountain would look great in the living room. What? Three thousand guan? This is
Giving away for free...
After the money was spent, the soldiers were still transporting treasures to the shore in boatloads. God, what kind of jade is this green jade that can drip water? Jadeite? I have only heard of it, never seen it. A jadeite the size of a fist can be carved by a carver.
Come out, what will the price be?
Four thousand guan? You only need 4,000 guan to buy this thing? The shopkeeper who specializes in jewelry and jade business immediately turned red. He pulled Lao Zhou’s neck and said: "Lend me 10,000 guan. I still have a thousand acres of land in Chang'an."
, three houses, if not, I can give you my wife in custody, I only want 10,000 gu."
Lao Zhou is a good man. He patted the old shopkeeper's hand and said, "Shopkeeper Lin, just go and bid and don't worry about the money. In short, it's all about profit. I'll lend you the money, and my wife doesn't have to pledge it to me. Just
Let her serve you well, and your fifty-year reputation will be worth more than ten thousand guan. It will be too common for us to mention such nonsense as money."
"I know clearly that you, bastard, are trying to suck my blood, but you have to borrow it. One cent per year interest is quite generous. I agree. You are going to make some money for me, so sign it now."
The blank IOU in Lao Zhou's hand soon disappeared. Even the most careful Chu family borrowed 8,000 yuan. The larger the amount, the lower the interest. The smaller the amount, the higher the interest. This is originally the bank's
A strategy is to hope that these guys will only repay interest every year and not repay the principal. They are all famous brands and good assets in the mouth of Yun Hou.
Half of the treasures were missing, only a piece of light paper was replaced. Wuji looked at the treasures that had been taken away, and then looked at the pieces of paper in his hand. He felt like he had been cheated, especially the governor.
After spending 3,000 yuan to get away two opals, his heart was bleeding. What's more, all the money he got from selling things was moved away by a fat man named Zhou, and he didn't receive a penny. He really wanted to get those things.
People smashed it to pieces with hammers and then snatched the things back.
When he returned to the boat, he threw the piece of paper to Yun Ye angrily: "Marquis Yun, half of our treasures on the boat were replaced with a piece of paper." Yun Ye picked up the banknote and looked at it, and he was satisfied and said nothing.
Ninety-three thousand and six hundred and fifty thousand guan, which is very good. It is still no problem to fill the national treasury half full, not to mention that more than half of this year's = has passed. With the post-autumn taxes and taxes coming up, Li Er's economic crisis will not exist.
.
"Marquis Yun, this is too childish. What we took out was a real treasure, but what we took back was a piece of paper. Aren't you worried about being cheated?" Wuyu couldn't help but ask again, but Hong Cheng was smarter.
, shut his mouth and waited for Yun Ye to explain.
"It's so annoying, and I won't let you have a good sleep. I can't explain it to you. When you get to the capital, take this piece of paper to the bank in Chang'an, and someone will give you 900,000 yuan. By then, you
You can see countless copper coins, silver, and gold. Keep them well. Remember the instructions that Lao Zhou gave you. Don't forget them. We will sail tomorrow. Let me have a good sleep."
Wuji carefully wrapped the banknote in oilcloth and put it in his pocket. He did not intend to let this small bag leave him until he arrived in the capital.
The governor of Mingzhou, who saw a huge increase in tax revenue, beamed with smiles and generously sent fresh vegetables to Yun Ye, as well as a dozen pigs, seven or eight sheep, and a fallen cattle. He thanked Marquis Yun for his support to the local officials.
Ho Ai, this year's tax collection task has been overfulfilled. The extra money will be used to build a larger seaport here. Based on his intuition, he believes that Mingzhou will benefit a lot from this seaport.
We replenished fresh water and food, briefly repaired the damaged ship, and were ready to start again. The soldiers were in high spirits. The feeling of being rich is good. They didn't even look at the geishas waving flower handkerchiefs on the beach. I have money.
You want to keep them for you to go home and marry a wife and carry on the family line. Who wants to spend time on you?
Wangcai is very ruthless. After the estrus period, he no longer pays attention to the mares. He kicks and bites them out of his stable, and falls comfortably on the golden straw to make up for the energy he has consumed these days.
.
The bank raised a lot of pigeons. When Lao Zhou gave Yun Ye the banknote, a group of pigeons flew into the sky with a bamboo tube tied to their feet. There were some inexplicable notes written on the bamboo tube.
Character.
After they flew all the way back to Chang'an and were unhooked from the bamboo tubes, they were offered the best food and warm water. They didn't understand why those people were cheering loudly, so they just hunkered down and ate...
There was a lot of turmoil in the court of the Tang Dynasty. Sun Wuji, the Minister of Household Affairs, had some specks of white hair. He had borrowed a lot of money these days to fill the biggest hole in the Western Expedition. But
Nowadays, there is another drought in Hebei Province. Shenzhou, Hengzhou, Dingzhou, Youzhou, and Yanzhou have almost no harvest. The local government treasury has tried its best to rescue, but it is a drop in the bucket, so we can only send an urgent letter to the court for help.
The folk customs in the Yanzhao land are strong and fierce, and if one thing goes wrong, they will rise up. I think back then, Wang Bo's song "The Death Song of Wuxiang Liaodong Wandering" caused the Hebei land to be in turmoil. What's more, when Dou Jiande was governing Hebei, Yu De
Forever, there have always been rivers and lakes grass bandits occupying the mountains and becoming kings, and they are invincible. Now for the Western Expedition, all the troops in Hebei have been mobilized. If there are those with ulterior motives, if they raise their arms and raise their arms, tens of thousands of people will respond.
"Your Majesty, the Western Expedition cannot be carried out. It is precisely because our dynasty used weapons without permission that God sent disasters to warn us. Please take back your order and stop using weapons temporarily to avoid repeating the disasters of the Sui Dynasty."
Linghu Defen, the Minister of Rites, came out to start the performance. He is a firm supporter of the theory of interaction between heaven and man. He believes that all disasters in the world are caused by the failure of human virtues. This time Li Er touched everyone's interests.
This is the cause of this disaster.
"Zuo Wuwei has left the sandbank to the west and is sneaking in the desert, preparing to bypass the Tuyuhun people's eyes. Suddenly he appears in Gaochang to open the way for our army. To abandon the western expedition at this time is to kill 20,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
, Linghu Defen, do you want them to follow the example of Li Guangli in the Western Han Dynasty, fight all the way, and finally be wiped out? "
Qin Qiong was furious when he heard that the Western Expedition was to be stopped. Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda took Zuo Wuwei as the vanguard of the entire army. They had already set out for half a month. If the subsequent troops did not keep up, they would immediately fall into trouble.
In such a tight siege, it would be impossible to be Li Guangli.
"I have no choice but to sacrifice the small for the big. Duke Qin, my youngest son is also in the Zuowu Guards. Don't you think my heart won't hurt when I make this suggestion? If there is any other way, if it is so unconscionable, I will say
What?"
Although Linghu Defen is pedantic, he is not a despicable villain. His virtue is still admired by everyone. To say that he deliberately sabotaged the Western Expedition is indeed unfair to him. He only acted out of fear of the troubled times in the late Sui Dynasty.
