177 Chip Silver 2
Ye Wancheng was anxious: Only 100,000 taels? How to plug the loophole of 600,000 taels and 500,000 taels?
He went to the prefect, and when the newly appointed prefect Liu heard this, he was also anxious, and immediately came forward to convene all the merchants to collect the money again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But the people cried out to be poor. Ye Wancheng looked at Master Liu, who was screaming the loudest, and stared at him: "Why can't you take out the 50,000 taels of silver that you said you had?" Everybody......"
Master Liu didn't look at him, turned his head to look at everyone, looked helpless, and called out: "What Master Ye said, business has not been good in the past two years!" 50,000 taels of silver, of course, is not a matter for your Ye family, and the trembling hands will leak out. However, we are all small business, and we really can't afford it. For this 10,000 taels of silver, I still sold some goods, and I owed a few more payments to make up the goods...... Presumably, you guys are better than my family, right? Or, you guys think of a way, you have a lot of money left, help, more ...... Isn't it true? ”
Everyone coaxed, exploded the pot, and scrambled to complain about their bitterness, looking at the gossiping and coaxing people, Ye Wancheng's heart gradually sank, he looked at Governor Liu, who had already been hiding, and faintly felt that something was wrong: this matter was strange from beginning to end. He was not the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Qingzhou, but this time he was asked to take the lead in this matter.
And this Master Liu is the brother of President Ma, he jumped out at this time, this is obviously a trick, thinking that this silver will make him the Ye family wronged.
The Ye family's business has become big, and it has already caused jealousy in the Qingzhou territory. Especially after winning the tea king. This Mr. Liu also participated in the bidding that day, and later came to the door, saying that he would work with him to win the qualification of this tea merchant, and the two of them did it together. Rejected by him! His Ye family is fully capable of winning this business alone, besides, he has done a lot of work up and down for the qualifications of this imperial businessman, how can it be possible for people to go half of the way? Now it seems that this is obviously revenge, but I don't know where he got the courage to ......"
He had a hidden guess in his heart, and with a heart, he went to find Governor Liu.
Governor Liu was furious and waved his sleeves: "This official doesn't care!" The holy decree is clear, if the silver is handed over in ten days, if it is less than 600,000 silver by then, hum...... Don't blame me for being ruthless, Ye Wancheng, those shops in your Ye family are more than that, right? ”
As he spoke, he knocked on the table with his hand...... Ye Wancheng endured his anger, went home to discuss it with his family, and at night, he went to Governor Liu's house again...... Governor Liu finally agreed to convene again, and he came forward to say something.
He put down his heart and wiped the sweat from his head. This time I spent 5,000 taels of silver, but I couldn't do it, if I really asked the Ye family to take out the 500,000 taels of silver, it would be my life. The Ye family has to cross, and they won't do business for the next two years.
I heard that the last disaster relief silver from the imperial court was only 300,000 taels, but they asked these merchants to come up with so much silver at one time, isn't it ...... Ye Wancheng smiled bitterly, and finally slept soundly when he went home.
Who knows, on the second day, the old man who was in charge of entering the account came with a bitter face: still no!
Ye Wancheng was shocked, "Didn't Lord Liu summon it?" How so? ”
The housekeeper on the side had a white face: "Lord Liu only said one sentence: Tell all the masters to raise funds as soon as possible, and the saint will wait, and when the time comes, he will not be able to take out the ......."
He glanced at Ye Wancheng, and quickly lowered his head: "If you can't raise the number, you want to ask the master." Please help you. ”
The voice was lowered, Ye Wancheng's eyes were dark, and he almost fell!
He sat down in his chair, his ears rang, and he couldn't hear what they said for a while.
Nowadays, where is there anything not to understand? Governor Liu got someone's order early in the morning, and he wanted to use this to destroy their Ye family.
There were a total of 1.1 million taels of silver before and after the disaster relief, and their Ye family had to bear 1 million taels of silver.
Moreover, when the contract is re-signed next year, there must be one million silver as the base, of which 500,000 taels of liquid cash will be required, otherwise the signing qualification will be cancelled.
This is to bring down the Ye family.
But who is it? Let him break his brain, and he doesn't know which opponent it is? is so capable, united with Governor Liu...... President Ma? Master Zhang? He shook his head.
Ye Wancheng was so angry that he fell ill.
He held on, summoned the children of the Ye family, discussed overnight, sold all the shops first, and raised the remaining 500,000 taels of silver.
Everyone in the Ye family had solemn faces, and the atmosphere in the room was solemn. Someone was already sobbing lowly, Mrs. Ye. She looked at her husband, who was coughing constantly and flushed, and suddenly said expectantly: "Master, do you have to sell shops?" Those are all prosperous shops, and if they are sold, they will never come back. ”
Second Master Ye sighed: "Sister-in-law, why don't we know what I said? It's just that we don't have so much cash on hand, and time is tight. There is no way to do it. ”
"Can't we ask someone to borrow it first? We'll pay him back at the right time. ”
"Who in Qingzhou City is willing to lend us money now? Didn't those people say they didn't have any money? Otherwise, this 500,000 can fall on the head of our Ye family? Aren't you slapping yourself in the mouth? ”
The second master explained, and turned his face to look at the eldest brother: "Big brother, don't worry, I'll do it with Brother Cheng later." It's just that at this price, I can't say that I have to press it......"
Ye Wancheng leaned on the pillow, gasped, helpless: "That's for sure!" We all know we're in a hurry......"
"Sir!"
Mrs. Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and she took a step forward: "Go find your brother-in-law!" Borrow money from him! ”
Everyone froze, and no one spoke for a while.
After a long time, the second old man spoke: "No! My sister is gone, and her stuff is ...... He turned his eyes to look at Ye Wancheng.
Ye Wancheng looked at the total person in the room and lowered his eyes. After a while, he raised his head: "The second brother is right. No matter how difficult it is for us, we can't reach out to my sister, not to mention, she is no longer there......"
Second Master Ye and Third Master Ye nodded with red eyes.
Mrs. Ye was anxious and took a step forward: "Master! I don't mean anything else. My sister's money, as my sister-in-law, how can I think about it? It's just that we borrowed it for a while, and we definitely have to pay it back. Besides, my brother-in-law and they will definitely not be able to take out such a large amount of silver, so we will also borrow some of it...... In this way, at least we can sell a few fewer shops and reduce our losses......"
"Sir! Second brother! She had red eyes: "We are in trouble now, brother-in-law, they won't care, for so many years, our two families have ......"
What she didn't say was that every year, the Ye family would send a sum of silver to the Ye family to thank the Ye family for the cost of accounting for the Ye family. Moreover, when the Ye family got married, she knew best, but she brought a large number of farm shops, and after so many years, the Ye family was good at management, and there should be a lot left.
She also had no way to think of her sister-in-law. It's just that what she is worried about now is: If the sister-in-law is gone, will the Mu family still take the money?
