Nearly a young year, the atmosphere of the New Year in the capital is very strong.

The Ganzhou affair has fallen, the imperial palace burned down is the emperor's business, and the refugees from the snow disaster are blocked out of the suburbs, and the capital can't feel it.

And this year, because of the tax hike, the pockets of the officials have swelled, and the business in the shop has been much better.

The streets are crowded with people, all rushing to buy the last items for the New Year.

Anyway, when she came out, Gu Xinyue went to her shop to take a look.

After the snow stopped, including the Guogong Mansion and Qin Mohan's Zhuangzi shop, the income was also sent, and some of the proceeds from the shops that she had asked people to buy sporadically outside.

Because of the good weather this year, the harvest of Zhuangzi has increased, and the business of those shops has decreased after September.

After asking, I learned that in addition to the increased commercial tax, the reduced part was also due to the increase in taxes, so everyone had less money in their hands and less money to buy things.

However, Jubaozhai's loan business is getting better and better.

Moreover, from the end of November, not only businessmen came to borrow, but also some low-level officials took the deed of the house as collateral, borrowed money for the New Year, and waited for the year-end bonus and filial piety from other places to come up, and then came to redeem it.

It is equivalent to the quiet start of personal lending projects.

When Gu Xinyue arrived, the boxes on the second and third floors of Jubaozhai were full of people, and there were many people below to repay the money.

Gu Dong led them to sit in the back and took the general ledger to look at it.

After looking at it for a while, a young man came in front of him, leaning in at the door.

"Come in and talk back." Qin Qi raised his head slightly and said in a deep voice.

Gu Xinyue also put the account book in her hand and said with a smile: "Yes, what's the matter?" ”

The young man came in with a bow, and he didn't dare to raise his head and said, "It's the front, a person came, saying that he wanted to borrow 10,000 taels of silver with the mortgage of the house deed at home, but he couldn't say how to repay the money." ”

"Ten thousand taels of silver?" Gu Xinyue's eyebrows raised unconsciously.

The housing prices in the capital are not cheap, but the house of 10,000 taels of silver is not a small yard.

"I'm afraid that the unfilial son of the family stole the house deed and came out, and after borrowing the money, Hu Tianhai spent it, and then relied on the family's power to force us to return the house deed." Gu Dong said in a low voice.

"How much of this?" Gu Xinyue's eyes flashed slightly.

"Recently, a few people have come, the person in front of the head is taking the land deed, but the small village of 200 acres of land, the money is only borrowed 1,000 taels, the small one thought it was appropriate, and gave it to it, but there were several people in the back, the number is getting bigger and bigger, and the small one feels that it is not right, so he refuses." Gu Dongdao.

"Well, they all refused, no matter how much it is, as long as there is no source of repayment, they will have to go to the pawnshop." Gu Xinyue nodded.

Gu Dong responded and said to the young man, "Go ahead." ”

"You can go too, you can take out such a big house, I'm afraid it's not easy to send it, you take the three tigers with you, if you are unreasonable, you will throw it out directly, if the other party brings up the name of his own family, then send the person back to his house directly." Qin Qi took down the account book in Gu Xinyue's hand and said lightly.

"Yes." Gu Dong bowed and went out with the young man.

"Let's go, just show these to Shiso." Putting the account book on the table, Qin Qi helped Gu Xinyue up.

Gu Xinyue smiled, didn't go directly to the backyard to get into the car after getting up, and went out of the lobby with Qin Qi.

By the way, he stopped and looked at the young man Gu Dong was entertaining.

The young man looked like a gentleman, brought a few of his men, looked arrogant, and his voice was so loud that he could lift the roof, and he asked loudly why he didn't lend him money.

Qin Qi's face was slightly cold, and his body turned around.

Gu Xinyue grabbed him and said, "Leave it to them, just go and find out who is behind." ”

Qin Qi's eyes flashed and he nodded.

Coming out of Jubaozhai, he saw that it was not far from Su Xingxing's silver building, so he simply turned around and went to the silver building.

Several carriages were parked next to Yinlou, occupying all the roads, so Gu Xinyue simply let the carriage stop next to it and wanted to get out of the car and walk over.

Qin Qi got out of the car first, blocked the wind with his body, reached out to help her down, and said with a smile after wrapping the hood for her: "What, the jewelry at home is not enough?" ”

"A woman will never dislike a lot of jewelry." Gu Xinyue pursed her lips and smiled.

"Then why don't we open a silver building ourselves?" Qin Qi walked where the wind was blowing, and said with a chuckle.

Ganzhou must be able to pass the business line of the Western Regions, and there are more gems from there, and there are also some very special gems in Mobei.

The main thing, of course, is that it is rich in gold and silver.

Gu Xinyue shook her head and said, "No, it's too eye-catching." ”

is different from the oil shop silk and satin shops, the kind of tall silver building, there is no hundreds of thousands of taels to do the capital, don't want to do it at all.

Now a Jubao Zhai, although outsiders don't know the details (the actual account book is not the same as the account book of the tax declaration), but with the current scale, those who know how to do it can also calculate that there is at least tens of thousands of taels of interest a year, and then there is a person who knows that this place is hers, it is easy to think that the lord of Rongning is rich.

Now someone is starting to make up their minds.

If you make a silver building again, I'm afraid that some people won't be able to sleep.

Moreover, with the Su family's silver building, it is very simple for her to sell anything, and she will negotiate a share ratio with Su Xingxing.

The rough things that Qin Qi sent back from Mobei, she found someone to re-polish them, and also threw some for Mr. Zhu to make, but some very beautiful ornaments came out.

But she didn't plan to sell it, she kept it for herself to appreciate, and when it was more later, she would throw it to Su Xingxing.

However, as soon as he thought of those gems, he remembered that the dozens of carriages had been dragged back, and now the huge fire crystals in the entire courtyard were piled up, Gu Xinyue unconsciously glanced at Qin Qi out of the corner of his eyes.

What is this person saying that his appearance is even more terrifying, so that Qinglianzi should not be in a hurry to reduce the swelling, and he just made trouble with the military department and the household department with such a appearance, and the image of his Shura villain is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Now, after all these days, the bruises on his face have finally disappeared, and he has regained his original handsome appearance, and he is nourished by the medicinal diet of green lotus seeds every day, and his face is also a lot more ruddy.

It looks a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Feeling her eyes, Qin Qi, who was staring at a carriage, turned his head and said in a low voice, "What?" ”

"No, nothing." Gu Xinyue turned her head, sped up a few steps, and approached the silver building.

"Girl, come and see the new jewelry that just came out." The guy at the door greeted warmly and led the two of them in directly.

There were a few people inside looking at the new gold and silver jewelry on the first floor, and when they saw someone coming, they looked up, and then looked down again.

"Madame, don't worry, we will do what you say, and we will send it to you tomorrow, and we will never delay your business." The big shopkeeper smiled all over his face and sent a group of female dependents out.

There were many women in that line, so Gu Xinyue and Qin Qi avoided each other, and only glanced at the noble lady in front of her from the corner of her eye.

But just after a glance, a girl jumped out of the female team, rushed straight to Gu Xinyue, and shouted happily: "Ah, Sister Gu!" ”
