Chapter 220: Fate

Lin Wan said his plan straight to the point: "First, the debts owed by the Xue family now must be paid off first, and the treasure money village can't be opened now, so you can sell more than a dozen treasure money houses in the city." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Xue Baoliang nodded, agreed, and said, "The most important thing to sell now is indeed Jubao Qianzhuang, and I agree with this first one." ”

Lin Wan smiled and nodded, and continued: "Second, all the shops, farms, and houses of the Xue family are now handed over to you, you keep what you can earn, and sell the rest to pay off your debts, and you are up to yourself." ”

Xue Baoliang nodded again and waited for Lin Wan to continue.

Lin Wan restrained his smile and said with a straight face: "Third, you have to bear the debts that the Xue family owes now." Liancheng Qianzhuang lends you money, but you have to sign an agreement to pay off all the arrears and interest within ten years, if you do not pay it off when due, Liancheng Qianzhuang has the right to take away your Xue family's property. ”

Xue Baoliang listened, his expression was a little solemn, although he wanted to keep the Xue family's property, but he was not sure that he would be able to pay off the debt within ten years.

Lin Wan saw his doubts and made him think for a while before he slowly spoke again: "In the future, the Xue family will no longer need to supply the military needs of the Eastern Qi army for free. Of course, the Xue family can no longer enjoy any privileges granted by the government, and it is up to you to do business in the future. ”

Zhou Chengkuan took out an agreement from his arms, spread it out on the table, and said: "Second Uncle Xue, this is a silver borrowing agreement, you and the second aunt discuss it, if you agree, sign it, and come to the city lord's mansion with the agreement tomorrow to find me, and the little nephew is waiting for your arrival." ”

Lin Wan also nodded, stood up with Zhou Chengkuan, and walked out the door.

Xue Baoliang watched them leave steadily, he actually already had the answer in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Wait, I agree." Don't think about it, I'll sign it. With that, he picked up the agreement, walked behind the counter, and wrote his name.

Zhou Chengkuan walked back, took the agreement from Xue Baoliang's hand, and said, "Second Uncle Xue, since you have already decided, then without further ado, you can pack up your things and go back to Xue Mansion as soon as possible." There is no master there, waiting for you to return to preside over the affairs of the house. When you go back, I'll let the soldiers all withdraw, and I'll leave the rest to you. ”

Xue Baoliang nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and said gratefully, "Okay." ”

Lin Wan thought for a while, and then said, "Second Uncle Xue, if you encounter any difficulties and need help, go to the City Lord's Mansion to find me, maybe I can help you come up with ideas." ”

Xue Baoliang looked at Lin Wan's eyes full of admiration, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you!"

Lin Wan smiled faintly, grabbed the reins, jumped on the red sail very easily, snorted lightly, and said, "Go, red sail, let's go back." ”

Gale and Qingtong followed closely behind, and Zhou Chengkuan also hugged Xue Baoliang, turned over on his horse, and rode his horse to catch up with Lin Wan.

Lin Wan turned his head and smiled happily: "Brother Chengkuan, you see, Hongfan is really close to me! It seems to understand my words, and it likes me very much!"

Zhou Chengkuan also laughed and said, "Yes, it is destined to belong to you." ”

Trotting all the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Wan was in a very happy mood. I saw that the long queue at the gate of the city lord's mansion had dispersed, and Song Man was checking the account books with the account gentlemen.

Lin Wan frowned, turned over and jumped off the horse, handed the reins to the stableman waiting by the door, and instructed: "It will be called Hongfan in the future, help me take good care of it." ”

The stableman bowed and replied, "Yes, miss." Although he didn't know Lin Wan's identity, looking at the attitude of the masters towards Lin Wan, he also knew that Lin Wan must not be an ordinary distinguished guest.

Lin Wan strode over to Song Man's desk and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Song, can you show me the account books?"

Song Man looked at Lin Wan suspiciously, he had watched Lin Wan and Zhou Chengkuan go out together, but he didn't know Lin Wan's identity. Just as he was hesitating, Zhou Chengkuan had already walked over.

Zhou Chengkuan nodded to Song Man and said, "Mr. Song, this is the girl from the Medicine King Valley, please show her the account book." ”

Song Man had long known that this incident was planned by a girl from the Medicine King Valley, and he had long admired this girl in his heart. However, he didn't expect that it would be the little girl in front of him who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. He hurriedly stood up, put the account book that had been sorted out in his hand, held it in front of Lin Wan with both hands, and said respectfully: "Please take a look, Miss." ”

Lin Wan took the account book, carefully flipped through it from beginning to end, pointed out a few names that appeared more and had a larger number, and asked, "Have they all been registered? Are these big families in the city? What is the relationship with the Xue family and the Qi family?"

Song Man looked at the names and said, "It's all registered, and the account books of Jubao Qian Zhuang have also been checked, and there is no omission." These are all well-known merchants in the city, and they have always had business dealings with the Xue family. They are all serious businessmen, and they also have some friendship with the young city lord. ”

Lin Wan nodded and said, "After dinner, invite these people to the City Lord's Mansion, I want to meet them." After a pause, he said, "And Second Master Xue, let him come too." ”

Song Man was a little puzzled, but nodded in response.

Lin Wan turned his head to Zhou Chengkuan again and asked, "Brother Chengkuan, how much is the silver ticket of the capital money bank left by Xue Baokun?"

Zhou Chengkuan thought for a while and said, "There are about more than 20 million taels." There is only one money house in the capital in Lianbi City, which is mainly used for exchanging silver for merchants, and I have already sent someone to inform them that they can prepare the silver as soon as possible, and they may need to exchange a large amount of money at any time. The shopkeeper said that it would be two or three months at the earliest. ”

Lin Wan frowned, and asked again, "Mr. Song, how much cash is there in our own bank?"

Song Man replied: "In the past two days, I have probably received two or three million taels of silver. ”

Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Song, I know it in my heart." In the evening, please join me to have a good talk with these big merchants, and I hope to solve the problem as soon as possible. ”

Song Man nodded happily, "Yes, miss." ”

Zhou Chengkuan accompanied Lin Wan as he walked towards the mansion and asked, "Wan'er, what is your intention in meeting these big merchants?"

Lin Wan said helplessly: "These people have nearly one million silver tickets to redeem, which adds up to more than 20 million taels, and the silver left by Xue Baokun is not enough for them, so what should the people do?"

Zhou Chengkuan frowned, and said worriedly: "I promised the people today to give them money within a month, but I am afraid that the silver will not be enough." But the longer it dragged on, the more panicked the people became, and I feared that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. ”

Lin Wan nodded and said, "Yes, if the Xue family's affairs are related to the prince of Ning, then they must have a follow-up move, so we must solve the problem as soon as possible." (To be continued.) )
