Chapter 15: Redemption
The deal between Xu Yi and Ye Zhan is completed.
Xu Yi gave Ye Zhan two hundred taels of silver, the price was Ye Zhan's shop, and Ye Zhan's father and son worked for Xu Yi for five years.
This time is not long, but it is not short. However, in Xu Yi's opinion, Ye Zhan and his father may play a greater role than the two hundred taels of silver.
The Baicao Pavilion Pharmacy is worth a maximum of one hundred taels of silver.
The medicinal materials in it are worth thirty or forty taels, and the rest of the money is used as the salary of Ye Zhan and his father Ye Bo, this debt is not a loss in Xu Yi's opinion.
This money was spent on money borrowed from the bank, but the more money he owed, the more Xu Yi felt that there were more mosquitoes and did not bite people.
If you owe too much, your perception will not be strong.
Zheng Qi's one thousand taels.
Four hundred and eighty taels of Furui Money.
and fifteen taels of mother Yun Niang as a bracelet.
It was a total of four hundred and ninety-five taels of silver.
This money is said to be a lot less, but it is also the income of a county order for a lifetime, and ordinary farmers can't earn so much money in ten lifetimes.
This money, put in the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, may be able to live until the end of the Ming Dynasty. But for Xu Yi, this money is nothing.
After Xu Yi's Yinqiao Pill is sold, he will definitely make much more money than this.
In fact, at present, Xu Yi is not worried about this silver, but the suffocating atmosphere of this Daming.
Ye Zhan, father and son, are themselves businessmen who do their own small business. The booming business was targeted by the so-called "Fang family".
Driving hooligans and scoundrels to harass and force the yamen to arrest people is simply lawless.
Such corruption and favoritism, for the Ming Dynasty, it is just a daily life, it is really a ridiculous world.
In the face of such a society, Xu Yi is also thinking about how to change them in a clever way?
Hard-hitting? Or a modest improvement?
Xu Yi couldn't make up his mind.
On the other side, Xu Yi also figured out the details of this family.
As mentioned earlier, there are three major money houses in Songjiang Mansion, which control nine-tenths of the market in Songjiang Mansion.
Xu Yi went to borrow money before, and it was also the last-ranked Furui Money Village, which was the power of the Xu family.
Ranked second, Dexing Money Village is the opening of this party, and it can be said that it is also a big force.
And the background behind the No. 1 money bank is even more mysterious and powerful.
Even the Xu family, the head snake of the land, and the Fang family can't compete with it, which shows how deep the forces behind are.
Although Xu Yi didn't know who was behind the number one firm. But what Xu Yi knows is that the surname of the shopkeeper of this money village is Guo, and all the big names in Songjiang County call him Guo Shopkeeper.
But now, Xu Yi and this shopkeeper Guo are still in a state where the well water does not violate the river water, and there is no need to have any grievances.
Zheng Qi was still making Yinqiao Pills at this time, and according to Xu Yi's plan, a large number of Yinqiao Pills would be needed soon, so now Zheng Qi was already working overtime to make them.
The Yinqiao pills on the side have been piled up into a mountain, and it seems that Zheng Qi has been working day and night in the past few days, and it is still very effective.
Zheng Qi worked so hard, not because of any professionalism.
But it has been written in the transaction between him and Xu Yi that Xu Yi will give Zheng Qi 1,000 taels of silver a month later, which is enough for Zheng Qi's family to live for a lifetime.
If Xu Yi can't give Zheng Qi a thousand taels, then Xu Yi's pill dropper technology will be transferred to Zheng Qi's family.
However, what puzzled Zheng Qi was that Xu Yi added a very strange condition.
You have to live until next month for the deal to be done.
Zheng Qi couldn't understand this, but in the face of Xu Yi's big temptation, Zheng Qi didn't care, just sell this life to Xu Yi.
..
Ye Zhan took the two hundred taels of silver tickets given by Xu Yi and came to the county yamen, Ye Zhan's father had been locked up in the yamen for four days.
Ye Zhan knew that anything could happen in this yamen's prison, if it weren't for Ye Zhan giving a few taels of silver to the jailers, otherwise this Ye Boke would have suffered a lot.
"Guys, I've lost money, can I release my dad?"
Ye Zhan kept pacing at the door of the yamen, the messenger had been gone for half an hour, but the person never came back.
This morning, Xu Yi gave Ye Zhan two hundred taels of silver tickets, and Ye Zhan sent them to the Fang family. The money was collected, but the Fang family didn't say when they would release him, which couldn't help but make Ye Zhan a little anxious.
Ye Zhan paced for a while, and suddenly a small servant of the Fang family entered the yamen, and after a while, the official pressed Ye Bo out.
The little guy also came out, glanced at Ye Zhan, and left quickly, as if he had never been here.
Seeing this, Ye Zhan was furious, and this surnamed Fang was also too deceitful.
His own silver ticket was sent to the Fang family early in the morning, and it was not until noon that the Fang family came to ask for release.
It's deliberately hanging you, deliberately making you uncomfortable.
This Fang family is really too deceitful!
However, now Ye Bo has finally been released. The big stone in Ye Zhan's heart was also put down, and the bullying of this Fang family was also diluted a lot.
"Dad, how are you. Did the jailers beat you, did they get hurt? Ye Zhan said with concern.
"I.... I'm fine...."Ye Bo panted. "After drinking gruel in the yamen for four days, my whole body was exhausted." Ye Bo looked at his son, and there was no resentment in his eyes.
Maybe he didn't know what was going on, so he asked subconsciously.
"My son, I still think I have to stay for a few days, how can I come out so soon." Ye Bo's unintentional question made Ye Zhan cry.
"Dad, the hard work of our two masters, Baicao Pavilion, let those scoundrels smash half of it, and behind those scoundrels is the Fang family. He gave up two hundred taels to redeem you. ”
"What? Two hundred taels? Where did you get the two hundred taels, did you sell the medicine shop? You unfilial son! As soon as he heard this, Ye Bo almost came out of breath.
Ye Bo was angry at this time, and he hadn't eaten enough for a few days, and now he was almost one step away from passing out.
"Dad, I haven't lost this shop, I met a capable person, he said that we will do something for him for a few years, and the money will be lent to us. We'll be able to get the shop back. ”
Hearing this, Ye Bo regained his breath, and Ye Bo was still able to accept this reality.
"This master also deceived people too much, he had already sent these ruffians to extort our forty or fifty taels of silver, and now these two hundred taels of silver have really squeezed our family dry. Even if we can still do this business, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in this realm. ”
Ye Bo's words are very insightful, this Fang family has already bullied this, and if Ye Zhan's father and son still want to mix in this Songjiang Mansion, it can be said that it is as difficult as the sky.
"We can't afford to mess with this family, and we can't afford to mess with the people behind this family. Son, let's order the remaining few taels of silver, go back to our hometown and buy a few acres of paddy fields, and forget it for the rest of our lives. ”
Hearing this, Ye Zhan hurriedly said.
"Dad, I told you, I met a kind person, as long as we do a few years of work for him, our shop will be able to come back."
When Ye Bo heard this, he looked incredulous.
"In this world, there are still such good people? Take me to this benefactor."
