Chapter 66: The City

"I don't know if Brother Shen can recognize this thing?"

Surrounding the roasted whole sheep, he went straight to the three most noble seats at the entrance of Yunlai Building, Hu Jiuling got up from his position, stepped past the position of the little marquis in the center, and then stood firmly on the carpet in front of Shen Jinshan, and lit up the things in his hand in front of him.

It was a half-new deed, and it was clearly recorded in black and white that the village closest to Qingcheng and produced the most high-quality raw silk every year sold the silk born from the spring silkworm to the Hu family.

"This ......"

It turned out to be just this...... Shen Jinshan breathed a long sigh of relief, and when Hu Jiuling just showed his things, he was really startled.

Fang Cai's brain was hot and he bit Hu Jiuling and shouted the price, and in the end, in order to suppress it, he even shouted a sky-high price of 1.8 million taels. Rao is the Shen family's accumulation over the years, and it is a bit nerve-wracking to take out this silver, and it is inevitable that he will be overstretched for a period of time. Although this nine-tailed old fox looks beautiful on the outside, how can a person with a intestine leading to the end do a good job, he has long known that the other party is not easy to deal with after many years of fighting. Now that he suddenly took out the deed, who knows what is hidden in it.

"Most of Qingcheng's life this spring is in the hands of Brother Shen. Even the silkworm farmers who signed a contract with Hu also broke the contract and switched to Brother Shen, and it is said that the silver that broke the contract was borne by the Shen family? ”

"Of course."

"These silkworm farmers have cooperated with the Hu family for many years and are familiar with each other, so the amount set that day was not high."

Shen Jinshan nodded, he had always been calculating. If he hadn't known the benevolence and righteousness of the Hu family, the amount set was not high, and when he forced the silkworm farmers to re-sign the contract through black charcoal, he would not have arrogantly paid the silver taels needed to repent.

"Brother Shen nodded, that is to admit the matter?"

Could it be that Hu Jiuling wants to ask him for silver now? Thinking of this, Shen Jinshan hesitated.

"Now we are recruiting military salaries, and such trivial matters between Brother Hu and Shen will be discussed privately later." Acutely aware of the crisis, he decided to do the word "drag". When he becomes the head of the meeting, he will have an overview of all matters in the silk market, and whether the silver will be given or not. You must know that the people don't fight with the officials, even if he really doesn't give it, is it possible that this nine-tailed old fox can still help him!

"What Brother Shen said is not true, at this time, it is not only related to today's military salary banquet, but also closely related."

Related?

After a short period of coming back to his senses, listening to Hu Jiuling donate a million silver tattoos in the name of Ah Yao, Lu Jingyuan fell back into contemplation. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hu Jiuling's move is paving the way for A-Yao. At first glance, most people may think that he really spoils his daughter too much. But think about it deeply, pet to pet, as for taking out so much silver? A full 1.5 million taels, and many big silk merchants may not reach this amount with all their net worth.

Such a huge amount of money, just take it out so easily, is this just a pet?

Being in the whirlpool of the highest power in Great Xia, Lu Jingyuan saw it very clearly. Back then, the emperor favored the precious concubine, and King Ping was also the most favored among the princes, and even the princes from the middle palace were faintly fed in terms of food and clothing, but King Ping only enjoyed these things on the surface. When he really established the crown prince, he still chose the concubine of the Empress Yuan, Wen Taowu, who had everything in his hand; Not only that, when the new emperor was needed to ascend the throne at a critical moment, he still handed over the Jiangshan Sheji to the crown prince, and it was useless to let the precious concubine who favored the sixth palace cry with pear blossoms and rain.

From this matter, it is not difficult to see that pampering and respect are completely different things. If you like a child, you can be more partial; But when it comes to the most critical time, most people still rely on children who are capable and can shoulder responsibilities.

The Emperor Taishang is not too wise an emperor, but he can still do this; Would a sober person like Hu Jiuling casually spend half of his family property for his daughter just because of his favor?

It must have been something that made him successfully mix a trace of trust in his love for A-Yao.

Thinking of his guess, the balance in Lu Jingyuan's heart tilted again. Could it be ......

looked up at the girl, and then he heard Hu Jiuling's words next to him.

"But it's closely related." He subconsciously agreed, seeing that everyone was puzzled, and after a short pause, he explained: "Not only on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, but even in the invitation card issued, Ben Hou has repeatedly mentioned that this recruitment of military salaries is completely voluntary, and each family only needs to do what they can, and must not affect their daily business because of this incident." ”

That's what you mean? The merchants suddenly realized, and then their faces were unnatural for a moment. If that's what you think, what does it mean that you deliberately marked a number at the end of the invitation to indicate how much our family assets have? Could it be that the numbers specially marked with cinnabar mean to say again: I know that you are very rich, if you dare not contribute, this blood-colored cinnabar will be your fate.

Isn't it?

Seeing their eyes looking at the invitations on the table, Lu Jingyuan shook his head slightly. Of course not, the number of this candidate is just to scare you, who told you to marry your son into the Hu family one by two.

Dare to rob a woman with Ben Hou, even if it just means that, it is an unforgivable sin!

Of course, he would never say such thoughts, firstly, to paralyze Hu Jiuling; Second, if he shows his heart first, how will the girl's tail be lifted to the sky, and how to cheer up her husband after getting married in the future.

Little Hou Ye's nine twists and eighteen bends, no one present could guess it.

Now most people are thinking, what does the little marquis mean? Just that sentence "affects daily business". The number marked with cinnabar on the post is indeed very accurate, and after checking the accounts in the past three days, they found that the cash that can be taken out at home is not far from this number*ten, which shows that the little marquis has really done his homework.

Only donated 100,000 taels, which is far from affecting their own business, and even many families have a surplus. What is the original meaning of the little marquis's words? Or knock them out?

Originally, Hu Jiuling took the lead, and they only donated ten taels in the first five rounds, but in the sixth round, the Hu family suddenly made an astronomical amount, and smoothed out the ten taels in the first five rounds. It's just that the Hu family has smoothed it out, and they can't wipe it out. If it is really the latter, it will be hated by the little marquis......

Just thinking about it makes me feel like a cloud overhead!

Just when they were worried, Ah Yao's words rescued them.

Just now, Ah Yao noticed a few businessmen who followed the Shen family next to her, and gloated when she heard that Daddy still donated ten taels in the end. At that time, Daddy was like that, and she didn't have the face to talk about others. But now Daddy has donated 1.5 million taels, although it was donated in her name, but who doesn't know that she didn't earn anything, all the money is Daddy's.

If there is revenge and no revenge, it will make her waist stiff. While it's time to put pen and ink, go to the table next to you.

"Everyone donates 100,000 taels, why do you only donate 100 taels?"

Although the voice is not high, it still attracts the attention of many people.

The merchant who was asked by her turned red with a "Teng". He also donated, and it was more than 100,000 taels, last night he sucked A Furong all over his body, he directly shouted out 200,000 taels, which was twice as much as others, white paper and black vermilion handprints, and the clear deed is now in the hands of the little marquis.

But he couldn't say!

It's not that there is any threat from the little marquis, but he knows in his heart that if he doesn't talk about it, he will lose some silver at most; If they say it, openly oppose the court and bribe King Ping, no matter which one of them is, it will be enough for them to not be able to keep their net worth.

The lesser of two evils!

Dry this bowl of coptis water!

Sitting in the corner and holding a dozen or two signs, they were already bitter enough in their hearts, but the girl of the Hu family still had to stick a knife in her heart. It is worthy of the little marquis and sister, the senior brother and sister each have a knife on the left and a knife on the right, don't bring this!

But there was nothing they could do.

Just as the words of the little marquis came from the front, facing Ah Yao, the merchant raised a flattering smile on his face: "This is not what you can." ”

"Slam the door!" Ah Yao said with a bad face.

And the other businessmen who had just donated 100,000 taels, who were hesitating, heard the movement by the door and finally noticed these people who donated ten taels from beginning to end. It turns out that there are still those at the bottom, and even if the little marquis is dissatisfied, his anger will be directed at these people first.

They only donated 100,000 taels, not to mention less than originally expected, and they also gained extra face. Thinking of the ten taels donated in the first five rounds, the businessmen who saved money were grateful to Hu Jiuling, and sure enough, it was right to follow Master Hu.

On the contrary to them, those who followed Master Shen would be regarded as hating Shen Jinshan to death. In fact, if you think about it carefully, although the girl of the Hu family is a little more direct, her personality is like this, and what she said is indeed the truth, without the slightest problem. In the final analysis, they lost face, not because they were cheated out of money by Shen Jinshan.

Okay, you Shen Jinshan, we have formed this Liangzi, and the enemies will be very red when they meet in the future.

In the short time after the little marquis finished speaking, because of Ah Yao's seemingly innocent and revengeful brief question, the businessmen were polarized.

Standing at the front, Hu Jiuling spoke again: "Brother Shen, Master Hou also said so, don't affect normal business." The two of us know each other more or less, don't blame me for speaking straight, this will Brother Shen suddenly donate 1.8 million taels, I am really worried that you will not have the money to settle this account in the future. ”

"It's just a little bit of silver to destroy the contract, Shen will settle it for Brother Hu, is 200,000 taels enough?" He had already secretly calculated that removing the fraction of 200,000 taels was just no more and no less. Although he was a little distressed about this money, the three achievements he got from Hu Jiuling alone were more than this number, not to mention the remaining forty percent, and this money was also from his surname Hu.

"Two hundred thousand taels?" Hu Jiuling nodded again and again, "According to last year's price, it is indeed enough." ”

"That's it." Shen Jinshan made a decision on the spot, and shouted at the door: "Miss Hu, now you can always announce the results?" ”

"Brother Shen, wait, Hu hasn't finished speaking."

Ah Yao put down the bookkeeping roster in her hand, and at the front, Hu Jiuling stood in front of Shen Jinshan, pointed to the last line, and said, "Brother Shen, take a closer look at this deed." ”

"The purchase price of raw silk has already been set, but the price when I regret it is to collect it at the current price. This current price does not refer to last year's price. Now the price of raw silk in Qingcheng, no one must know better than Brother Shen. ”
