Li Bo was the king of North Korea, and he had to take his face into consideration and not lose too much of his worth. Therefore, he did not speak any more. Hong Yihan behind him said: "I, the North Korean country, want to borrow money from you. Is it possible?"
"There is no precedent for this, but just now Marquis Zhongxing has told the people that the imperial court will provide this guarantee, so the people have taken the lead. I wonder how much you want to loan?" Yu Changjian looked like a businessman.
When the King of Korea heard that Zhong Jinwei had greeted him, he couldn't help but bow his head slightly to thank Zhong Jinwei.
"A month's military pay for the Denglai Ming Army, and half a year's military pay for the 10,000 men in North Korea. Well, plus some silver taels..." Hong Yihan talked for a while, and finally reported a number, and then looked
Written by Chang Jian.
Fortunately, the four of them hid and discussed. Money was needed in many aspects, and everything he could think of for the time being was considered. However, he was a little worried, fearing that he had said too much, and this bank did not have that much money to borrow.
Sure enough, the bank's big boss didn't agree immediately. He lowered his head and began to think deeply.
As a result, the king of Korea and others were worried. The final number was the result of saving and saving after discussion between the four of them.
After Yu Changjian thought for a while, he raised his head and said with an expression of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, to be honest, although this money can be borrowed, the amount is too large. I don't know what the Majesty will use as collateral and how long it will be."
Time to repay?”
Upon hearing that Yu Changjian said that the money could be borrowed, Li Bo and others all looked happy. This time, it was Li Bo who answered first: "As the lord of North Korea, everything in North Korea can be used as collateral. You
Just tell me what you like."
These words were said in a domineering manner, which really shocked the bank's big shopkeeper. Yu Changjian's expression immediately turned into joy, and he said with a smile: "In that case, I can borrow this money."
But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed again, and he seemed a little embarrassed and said: "Common people are businessmen, and they say one thing and another. I hope your Majesty won't be offended."
When Li Huang saw it, he quickly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." It is said that before borrowing money, the creditor is the master, which is absolutely correct. Even if Li Huang was the king of North Korea, it would still be consistent with this law. He had great respect for Changjian.
The attitude is very good.
"What if, what the common people mean is what if your country defaults on its debt?" Although Yu Changjian was a little embarrassed, he still said it.
His meaning is very clear. If your country defaults on its debts, how can you ask for justice?
When Li Bo heard this, his face turned a bit ugly. As the king of North Korea, he was suspected by a common man of being an "old man".
But before he could speak, Lu Xiangsheng said over there: "Isn't there a guarantee from the imperial court? You still can't trust the imperial court?"
Zhong Jinwei's bodyguard also said, "If you don't want the account, how can I, the Ming Dynasty, not get it?"
"Yes, if you dare to default on your account, how can our Ming army be vegetarians?" Another guard also followed suit.
When these people said that if North Korea defaulted on its debt, the Ming army would attack and take it for themselves. The expressions of several North Koreans changed, and they all looked a little surprised.
Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound, and Zhong Jinwei slapped the table with his hand and shouted loudly: "The guests are here, if anyone talks nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!"
The guards were so frightened by Zhong Jinwei that they did not dare to say anything anymore, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Li Bo glanced at Zhong Jinwei gratefully, and then quickly expressed his position: "No, no, as the leader of North Korea, I naturally stick to my word. If there is any violation, heaven will strike with five thunderbolts!"
The ancients believed that promises were the most important. The North Korean king made an oath in front of his face, which was considered a very heavy promise.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a voice sounded again: "It's still unfounded and not sincere."
When everyone heard the sound, they saw that it was Ai Nengqi who was the youngest in the lobby. Although he was still a teenager, but being spoken to by him in person like this, Li Bo's face became elongated, but it was difficult to get angry, and he was so gloomy.
It's the rhythm before a heavy rain.
"What do children know? Of course, a contract must be signed for this business. If you don't understand and are so presumptuous, come here and beat him with twenty army sticks." Marquis Zhongxing became angry.
Two guards immediately stepped forward to grab Ainengqi and prepare to take him down.
"Master Marquis, your nephew is young and ignorant, so don't get along with him. Twenty army sticks will hit him and he will be crippled." Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, advised him in time. When he spoke, he said "nephew"
"The two words are emphasized more strongly, just to let others hear.
When Li Pu heard that this young man turned out to be the nephew of Marquis Zhongxing, he did not dare to hold grudges anymore, and quickly advised: "Yes, you can't beat him with a military stick."
The Marquis of Zhongxing was obviously someone who wanted to protect his shortcomings. He took advantage of this step to step down and said: "I've given you an advantage and you still haven't apologized to the king."
Ai Nengqi's face was a little pale, maybe because he was frightened by Marquis Zhongxing just now. After hearing Marquis Zhongxing's order, he walked up to Li Bo and apologized: "Your Majesty has a large amount. I didn't know that Your Majesty would sign it."
Contract, I hope the king will forgive me."
What else could Li Bo do but forgive Ai Nengqi.
Originally, he really didn't want to sign the contract, not that he didn't want to pay it back, but because he felt that it would be too cheap for the leader of a country to do business with merchants. It's okay if everyone knows that this is the case.
But now after such an episode, he said to Chang Jian: "When will this contract be completed? I will use the seal immediately."
If he didn't do this, he would have carried out what Ai Nengqi said, which would be embarrassing for him and the Korean state. Moreover, the guards of Marquis Zhongxing also shouted some words, which also had an impact on him.
Yu Changjian just stayed aside without saying anything. When he saw that the North Korean king asked him something, he replied: "Your Majesty, this interest..."
Li Bo is now looking forward to completing the contract as soon as possible and borrowing the money. He can then send troops to drive away or annihilate the Jianlu, and restore North Korea to normal soon, and he can become a real king of North Korea. Therefore, he happily
He said, "Just follow your bank's regulations."
After hearing this, Yu Changjian turned his head to Zhong Jinwei. Because according to Zhong Jinwei's advance script, at this time Zhong Jinwei would come forward to bargain for Li Bo, lower the interest, and sell North Korea to a better one, which would appear to be the style of a suzerain country.
The reason why Zhong Jinwei did this was to learn from the practices of later generations and wanted to provide interest-free loans to North Korea.
But when Jinwei saw that Li Shu was so cheerful, he also thought that the interest rate of Da Ming Bank was actually much lower than before. If he lent it to them at this interest rate, they would probably feel that they were getting it for nothing.
Therefore, Zhong Jinwei changed his mind and said to Chang Jian: "Then let's do this. After you two have stamped the seals, Jiutai and I will also stamp the guarantor and send it to the court for record."
Li Dingguo watched the scene from beginning to end. While he admired Zhong Jinwei, he also secretly concluded it. However, if Zhong Jinwei hadn't said it, he would never have been able to conclude what was the biggest benefit of Zhong Jinwei's acting in this scene!
