Chapter 309: Impartiality and Consideration
Zhi Yanchong summoned Ouyang Shi to Beijing this time to ask him to be responsible for the important matter of building the capital, no matter what Zhi Yanchong's real purpose is, at least nominally building the capital is Ouyang Shi's job. Therefore, after he entered Beijing, he summoned relevant officials, representatives of merchants, scholars, and craftsmen to inquire in detail one by one.
Now that Ouyang Shi is the director, the position of chief contractor naturally falls to Chen Fengshan. Chen Fengshan also wanted to fight for this position when he broke his head, and that was because it was profitable; But now I feel that things are very difficult to do, because Zhi Yanchong asked him to do things without giving money this time. The money Yang Yingqi saved for the construction of the capital was enough to fill the big hole of the second expedition to Mobei, which shows how big this budget is. At present, it is not completely impossible for Chen Fengshan to start this project without financial support, but the premise is that he is willing to break the house!
But Ouyang Shi did not allow this matter to be shirked, and once said to his father-in-law Chen Fengshan: "Although this matter of building the capital is not the purpose of our entry into Beijing, if this matter is not done well, we will not be able to stand in Jinggi." ”
Yes, without the support and trust of Zhi Yanchong, Ouyang Shi's political capital will shrink greatly, and as soon as Ouyang Shi's political capital shrinks, the Chen family, who made their fortune on Ouyang Shi's big tree, will face a crisis -- not to mention anything else, his monopoly position in the East China Sea will be shaken. Therefore, Chen Fengshan must find a way to take down the major matter of raising money to build the capital. Fortunately, the Prime Minister's side is not completely unreasonable, although Yang Yingqi can't come up with the money, but he doesn't want Chen Fengshan to pay for nothing, but said that if Chen Fengshan can raise money, after three years, the household department will add half of the interest and return the money in five years.
This business is still not cost-effective in terms of economic accounts alone, but it makes Chen Fengshan feel acceptable to calculate political accounts. He decided to transfer a huge amount of money from the family savings over the years, and then asked the Ouyang family, the Huang family and other families who were closer to him to help - of course, Ouyang Shi would give some political promises, but even then he could only make up less than 30% of the first phase of the start-up capital. The Lin family had already revealed that there was money to borrow, and Chen Fengshan didn't want to borrow money from the Lin family, but at this time there was no choice, so he had to use most of the Chen family's properties north of Mayi Port as collateral and get this hot loan. But even if this money is in hand, there will still be three or four big holes.
What to do? At this moment, a businessman from Zhending walked into Ouyang Shi's back door, expressing his willingness to afford the start-up capital of the great cause of building the capital, and also revealed that he could thread the needle and introduce a very mysterious and powerful owner "Mr. Tian" to give out the remaining three percent.
"What proprietor can afford to pay for that?" Chen Fengshan was a little unconvinced. For example, today's big merchants, with Chen and Lin second to none, and other big families such as Zhao, Liu, and Li, all have to unite three or four families to be able to resist the Chen and Lin families, the Chen family has a lot of savings, and the Lin family is originally a money business, Rao can only provide two or three percent of the funds, this mysterious owner can make up the remaining three percent at once, how can people dare to believe it? However, this businessman who is really determined to come here is not the first time to do business with Chen Fengshan, especially in the past one or two years, with the rise of the northern Jin Dynasty, the amount of business he and Chen Fengshan has reached more than one million, so Chen Fengshan knows that he is not a person who talks about it, otherwise how could this businessman enter Chen Fengshan's door when Ouyang Shi was in the limelight?
At this time, I heard the merchant say: "Old Chen's doubts are also reasonable, but that person has great powers, and his money is actually not his own money. ”
"Whose money is that?"
"It's the money of dozens of big families in Hedong and Shaanxi! This person is very powerful, and his credit is excellent, and when a note is approved, those big families in Qin Jin are willing to spend half of their net worth for him to operate, and it is said that he has not lost money for many years. However, he had a lot of money, and the conditions for offering it were also harsh - he was willing to lend this money for three years, but it would cost 30% interest! And also to mortgage. ”
Chen Fengshan nodded after hearing this harsh condition: "This sounds like a liar." ”
The merchant sighed, "Liar? What crook has such a big deal? I don't dare to pack a ticket for this person's origin, he won't tell anyone, no matter who does business with him, he only talks about the price, nothing else, if you ask him for details, he won't even do business with you. But this man's money is indeed real. ”
Chen Fengshan thought to himself: "Yes, now I am asking him to take the money, not him asking me to take the money." As long as the money is real, he is not afraid of turning the world upside down. "Chen Fengshan has Ouyang Shi as a backer, so he is naturally not afraid of the other party's cross-handed - if the other party's money is from the wrong source, it is better, Ouyang Shi will find an excuse and don't have to pay it back! But Chen Fengshan was still a little suspicious: "According to what you said, his money was also raised from Qin and Jin merchants, and it may take a lot of time to raise such a big sum of money." Regardless of his ability to raise money, it is inevitable that the timing of his fundraising will be too accurate. ”
The merchant said, "I know something about it." That Mr. Tian is not an unpredictable prophet, he raised this money, and he was not going to lend it to Chen Lao in the first place, but to lend it to ......" He pointed his finger in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion: "Lend it to that Qilin Xianggong." ”
Chen Fengshan was shocked: "He wants to lend money to someone Yang?" Why did Yang borrow money from him? ”
The merchant said, "Why did Old Chen forget?" If it weren't for the money to build the capital, the battle in Mobei would probably not be able to be fought by His Majesty. ”
Chen Fengshan suddenly said suddenly, and said: "This Mr. Tian is really bold, he actually dares to do business with the prime minister!" ”
"yes." The merchant said: "The Prime Minister's side has also been in contact with him a few times, and he almost agreed, but later it is said that the Qilin Xianggong felt that the interest asked by Mr. Tian was too high, and the conditions were too harsh, and he still had the money in his hand, so he didn't agree." ”
Chen Fengshan said: "If it is for state affairs, the interest rate of 30% is not too high. ”
The merchant sighed: "Now he is opening 30% for Chen Dangjia, but it wasn't at that time." As for how high and demanding, I don't know exactly. ”
Chen Fengshan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, he was going to take advantage of the fire to rob, but now he is hot tofu in the palm of his hand, he can't take it and can't let go, and he is anxious to find someone to get rid of it - he can collect money from those dozens of big merchants, of course, it is also a promise!" ”
The merchant said, "Perhaps." Let's think about this matter. I'm just a threader, and I'll pass on the word if I want to. ”
After the businessman left, Chen Fengshan went inside to see Ouyang Shi and briefly explained the matter, Ouyang Shi said: "Don't be afraid, as long as he can get the money, he doesn't care about the origin of the money." But since he's in a hurry, you'll have to find a way to keep his price down. ”
Chen Fengshan said: "The interest may still be suppressed, but the mortgage is probably inevitable." Also, even if it is the mortgage we put on the Lin family's side, I am not very relieved. In case the prime minister's side doesn't admit it when it's time to repay the money, or drags us on, we'll have to jump into the sea! ”
Ouyang Shi sneered: "The Prime Minister doesn't admit it? Then we will deduct the taxes of Nanyang and use them to pay back, and see who can afford it! ”
Chen Fengshan got Ouyang Shi's guarantee, and said happily: "If this is the case, then there is nothing to worry about." ”
Ouyang Shi asked again: "The person you saw just now is really here, right?" ”
Chen Fengshan said: "Yes." ”
Ouyang Shi said: "Zhending is willing to pay a huge amount of money, but what are the conditions?" ”
Chen Fengshan said: "Liu Cao is well-behaved, he didn't dare to talk about the conditions, he just said that he asked the fourth general to see the face of the sixth general, and he was more tactful in the tactful place." ”
Ouyang Shi laughed and asked again: "This is a nice thing to say, but what does he Liu Cao have to do with Liunu'er?" ”
Chen Fengshan said: "Liu Cao actually relied on Qu Duan, I heard that Qu Duan was able to serve in northern Jin, and the six generals made great efforts. ”
Ouyang Shi sighed and said, "I always thought that Qu Duan was the second person." ”
Chen Fengshan smiled and said: "Qu Duan is from the Western family, but people can change. ”
Ouyang Shi smiled: "That's what I said." When he went north to Yanjing, the route seemed to be different from the second child's order. However, the eldest and third, the sixth and seventh all think that Qu Duan did the right thing, and even if the second child has an idea in his heart, it is not good to deal with him. Looking at what Qu Duan has done in northern Jin in the past two years, it is indeed a little different from the second child. ”
Chen Fengshan asked, "Then how do we reply to them?" ”
Ouyang Shi said: "You tell them like this: I will handle it impartially, but I will also take care of the overall situation!" ”
