Things are progressing extremely smoothly. Tuo Jinglie has investigated many aspects and found that several of Jian Xiao's proposals are quite good and can be further implemented. The same is true in terms of funding. Those few people Tuo Jinglie has met are all very enthusiastic people.
The funds for the later period have also been replenished. Tuo Jinglie invested all these funds in purchasing items and recruiting workers. The first few batches have already gone west to eat. Seeing that winter is coming, Tuo Jinglie wants to be the first to do so.
Get things done before a snowfall
The cold wind blew all night, making the warm Chang'an feel a little cold. Jian Xiao felt cold in her heart when she listened to the whistling wind outside. Tuo Jinglie didn't know why he felt a little impetuous, so he just paced back and forth.
Jian Xiao adjusted the stove and the room became warmer. A crow landed on the edge of the window and screamed. Tuo Jinglie rushed out and picked up the note on the crow's paw, "Everything goes well, we will arrive in seven days!"
Jinglie read out softly
"Are you sure?" Jian Xiao walked over and hugged him from behind, "Don't worry! Once the first batch of goods arrives, everything else will go smoothly."
"Yeah!" Tuo Jinglie patted Jian Xiao's hand
"Your Majesty! The bookmakers suddenly came to the door." Boken stood outside the door.
"At this time?" Jian Xiao looked at the dark sky and must be up to something bad.
Tuo Jinglie's face darkened, "You stay here, I'll go take a look!" After saying that, he followed Boken out.
Jian Xiao felt that time passed so slowly in the room. Seeing that all the lights in the fire were extinguished and Tuo Jinglie hadn't come back yet, Jian Xiao couldn't sit still anymore and rushed out and hid at the back of the hall.
There were more than ten people sitting in the hall. Tuo Jinglie sat in the middle with a solemn expression. The leader was known to Jian Xiao. His surname was Yan. He had bought an official position. His family made a fortune from tea. He was very prosperous. He was comparable to Shi Chong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Others called him Yan.

"Master Tuo, I don't care what you think, but it is clearly written in our contract that the year you will pay dividends before the year is basically the year you mentioned, we are also the year now. But when we wrote it, we thought it was
You can ask for it whenever you want years ago.”
"Sir, this autumn and winter trade has not yet started, and all the money has been shipped. Do we have to wait until after the goods are sold to distribute the dividends?" Tuo Jinglie said
"Then we don't care. We are about to invest money in another company. The benefits they give are even greater. Why do we have to keep the 30% dividend with you to earn your 80% profit?" Mr. Yan continued.
"This... Sir, it's not that I, Tuo, don't want to give you bonuses. It's just that the goods are on the way now. Even if you want to pay dividends, how many days do you have to give me grace?" Tuo Jinglie said.
"Okay, I'll give you five days."
"Ten days!"
"Eight days!" Mr. Yan said, "This is the deadline. If you can't pay all the dividends and principal, then don't blame me for filing a complaint!"
Mr. Yan led the dealers away, and Jian Xiao slowly walked out of the hall, "How could it be like this?"
"I knew there was a problem here, but I didn't expect it to be like this!" Tuo Jinglie said to himself, "It seems that they took a fancy to Ye Zhiqiu's temperament of underestimating the enemy and deliberately wrote that kind of contract."
"I took a peek just now. If we want to return them all, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of gold. Where will we get so much gold?" Jian Xiao looked at the account book. Basically, eight or nine of their money was invested, leaving only
The next little bit flows
"Let the first batch of brothers hurry up and try to come back within five days. This way things can be turned around, plus the savings I have stored in Tuoba City will be enough to turn over."
"Then... what if the goods don't come back?" Always think of the worst side of things.
"..." Tuo Jinglie opened his mouth and chose silence. To be honest, he didn't know what to do. These people were already the richest people in the Tang Dynasty. Even if they borrowed money from everywhere, they couldn't borrow money by themselves.
At most, he can only return half of his strength. Do he really have to go to jail?
"No!" Jian Xiao suddenly thought of a question, "It shouldn't be like this. They are businessmen. Although they say they are heavy on profits, they will never force them like this. What do they mean when they say they are ready to give money to another company? It is to give
Who is it? This is definitely a series of conspiracies!"
Tuo Jinglie shook his head. He was only thinking about how to repay the loan, and he didn't pay attention to such details at all.
"In this way, you only think about money, and leave the rest to me. I will find out the origins of these people!" Jian Xiao said solemnly.
"No, since this person has such means, it will be dangerous if you go out to contact him." Tuo Jinglie immediately denied it.
"Tutuo! Relax! You still don't know what I am like?" Jian Xiao said with a smile, "You're afraid I won't be safe, so give me Jiaojiao, she is a master."
Although Tuo Jinglie was reluctant to give up, he couldn't think of a better way, and Jian Xiao was really stubborn. "Then you should be careful not to do anything that is too dangerous. Come back and tell me."
The two of them tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well. They were each thinking about their own concerns. Jian Xiao had no idea at all. If he had to know the reason, he could only ask Ye Zhiqiu.
Early in the morning, Jian Xiao heard the sound of Tuo Jinglie getting up. She also sat up and dug out the maid's clothes that Jiaojiao had worn before.
"Are you going to disguise yourself again?" Tuo Jinglie asked.
"Well, I'll go find Ye Zhiqiu and ask him to take me to Mr. Yan. He will definitely negotiate with the other person in the next two days." Jian Xiao said, "Jiaojiao and I will go out for a walk and adapt to changes."
Tuo Jinglie handed Jian Xiao a package of things, "What is this?" Jian Xiao asked curiously
"If you are in danger, throw it out and you can save a life." Tuo Jinglie looked at Jian Xiao, "I'm so sorry for letting you do such a risky thing."
Jian Xiao instead didn't care, "Don't worry!" She liked this exciting activity from the bottom of her heart.
Jian Xiao was just about to leave the house when she saw Ye Zhiqiu's sedan walking past in a hurry. When he saw Jian Xiao, he shouted, "Jian Xiao! I'm so sorry! I didn't expect them to do this!"
It seems that Ye Zhiqiu already knows what happened, "It doesn't matter, there is a way to make up for it. Can Brother Ye take us into Master Yan's house?"
"Yes! That's great! As long as I can make up for this mistake, I can do anything," Ye Zhiqiu said
Tuo Jinglie also walked out of the house. When he saw Ye Zhiqiu, he couldn't help but say a few more words, "Brother Ye, I hope you can take more care of Jian Xiao. Master Yan is not a good person."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, "Brother Tuo, I will let Jian Xiao return safely, this matter..."
"Hey! Since it has already happened, just try your best to avoid it." Tuo Jinglie interrupted Ye Zhiqiu, "I will take care of this, and please take good care of my Jian Xiao."
