Chapter 77: Don't lose yourself
According to the tripartite agreement of Yangjiazhai represented by Yang Xu, Yan Feixue and Yang Xing, when Yangjia Restaurant opens a new restaurant in other places in the future, the number of shares held by the three parties will be distributed according to the silver invested.
Yang's restaurant in Jinyang City, because Yang Xu and Yang Xing don't have much capital, so Yan Feixue is equivalent to picking up a bargain and accounting for the most shares in it.
However, the Yang family restaurant that is about to be opened in the imperial capital requires a huge amount of capital, and if a comprehensive large-scale restaurant is opened according to Yang Xu's plan, 100,000 taels of silver may not be able to hold it.
And the amount of silver that Yan Feixue can take out right now, Yang Xu estimated, it is only about 20,000 taels.
20,000 taels of silver, in the Yang family restaurant in the imperial capital, at most occupy 20% of the shares.
Yang Xu and Yang Xing represent Yang Jiazhai is equal to one, and Yang Jiazhai is the only Yang Xu horse, so how to distribute the eighty percent of the shares, Yang Xu's side will not have any objections.
It's just that in addition to the 20,000 taels of silver that Yan Feixue can come up with, the rest has to rely on Yang Xu and Yang Xing to find a way.
"If you really can't get any money, I can borrow a little from some of my friends."
Yan Feixue said to Yang Xu and Yang Xing.
With more silver, they must occupy more shares, which Yang Xu and Yang Xing do not want to see, so for Yan Feixue's "kindness", they naturally shook their heads and declined.
Yang Xu and Yang Xing thought about it, but they could only hit the Zhou family again.
They have already inquired, and Zhou Chengde, the inspector of Jinyang City, is an extremely greedy person, who has been an official for many years, and he doesn't know how much money he has amassed.
The last time the restaurant was opened, although the Zhou family took out 20,000 taels of silver, it was far from breaking the muscles and bones.
This time, Yang Xu was ruthless, and was ready to let the Zhou family take out 100,000 taels of silver to see if they wanted silver or death.

"Smack!"
A precious blue and white porcelain tea set was held in Zhou Chengde's hand and slammed to the ground.
The debris splashed on the two brothers Zhou Yi and Zhou Tong on the side, making them tremble.
"Dad, you take your breath!"
Zhou Yi persuaded loudly.
"I'm angry! Yangjiazhai's pickled goods! It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception! ”
Zhou Chengde's face was pale, and he yelled, completely losing his usual relaxed demeanor.
On the desk in front of him, there was a letterhead, and the handmade European font on the letterhead was Yang Xu's handwriting.
This evening, Yang Dazhi sent a letter written by Yang Xu to the Zhou Mansion, and after Zhou Chengde read it in the secret room, he began to lose his temper.
Zhou Chengde knew that it would be no good for someone from Yangjiazhai to come to the door, but he never expected that Yang Xu would open his mouth and ask him for 100,000 taels of silver.
The Zhou family has indeed looted a lot of people's fat and ointment over the years, coupled with corruption and the filial piety of his subordinates, he can also get 100,000 taels of silver.
Last time, he took out 20,000 taels of silver to open a restaurant for everyone in Yangjiazhai, which made Zhou Chengde feel distressed for a long time, if he took out another 100,000 taels of silver this time, it would be tantamount to slashing a large piece of meat on him, no wonder Zhou Chengde jumped to his feet and was angry, lost his demeanor in front of his two sons, and even scolded people out of his mouth.
But the letter sent by Yang Xu was full of threats, and Zhou Chengde thought about his family's life and didn't dare to refuse.
"Dad, we can't let the Yang family village slaughter it, otherwise it will continue like this, when will it be a head? No matter how rich our Zhou family is, we can't afford to be blackmailed by them like this! ”
Zhou Yi took a deep breath, calmed down his agitated mood, and said in a deep voice.
"That's right! Right! ”
Zhou Tong just nodded on the side.
"If you don't give them money, they will poke out the matter of our collusion with the Hu people! What do you say? You've got a good idea for me! What kind of sin did I, Zhou Chengde, give birth to you two rebels! ”
Zhou Chengde's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked angrily at the two sons who caused him such a heartwarming thing.
Zhou Yi and Zhou Tong were speechless under their father's gaze.
"At the moment, we can only destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster...... This Yang Xu said in the letter, let's take out another 100,000 taels of silver, and we will no longer ask for any money in the future, I hope it is really so! Alas......"
Zhou Chengde said in the end, sighed heavily, and the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he sat down in the chair.
"Dad, we still have to think of a way to solve this matter once and for all, otherwise our Zhou family can only change to a safe ...... by moving our family to Hu Kingdom."
Zhou Yi thought that the gang of people in Yangjiazhai had harmed him and the Zhou family, and his heart was full of hatred.
"Even if you want to go to Hu Country, before leaving, you must have slaughtered the Yang family village and let out the evil anger of the birds you have suffered these days!"
Zhou Tong rolled up his sleeves and put on a murderous look.
Zhou Chengde naturally knew that if the Zhou family was safe, it was a safe way to leave Zhao and go to Hu.
But living in a foreign country, everything has to be started all over again, and there may be all kinds of discrimination, and the north is bitterly cold, how can you stay in the prosperous and rich Zhao country to live happily?
So as a last resort, Zhou Chengde does not plan to take this path.
However, Zhou Chengde has been planning a back road recently, in case the Zhou family's collusion with Hu Guo is revealed, they can escape with a large amount of money.
And as the second son Zhou Tong said, he also hated the people of Yangjiazhai to the core, and before fleeing to Hu, he would definitely teach Yangjiazhai a lesson and be ashamed of his previous shame.
What Zhou Chengde hoped for the most was that the Hu people sent troops south and occupied Jinyang City in one fell swoop.
Hu Guo had promised him that once he occupied Jinyang City, he Zhou Chengde would be the master of the city.
At that time, the little Yangjiazhai is not allowed to be rounded and flattened by itself?
It's just that although the Hu people have always had the heart to set foot on the Southern Dynasty and have been preparing for it, the Southern Dynasties are rich and strong, and for a while, they can't make up their minds.
"Yi'er, you go and contact the Hu people spies in the city and ask them when they will make a move on Jinyang City. If they are ready, then my Zhou family is willing to open this city gate for them! ”
Zhou Chengde slapped the table and stood up, and under the light, his face was indescribably distorted and hideous.

Yang Xu and Yang Xing didn't expect that the matter of asking the Zhou family for 100,000 taels of silver would go so smoothly.
"Mom, if you don't go through this, I don't know how fat the Zhou family is! 100,000 taels of silver, and it was taken out so quickly! If you know better, you should have done more! ”
Yang Xu looked at the stack of silver tickets on the table that could be exchanged in Zhao Guoyinzhuang, and gritted his teeth.
Yang Xing said with a smile: "You can't force the Zhou family too hard, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites!" ”
Yang Xu laughed: "Just kidding!" With these 100,000 taels of silver, we can show our strength in the imperial capital! Strategist, are you going to go to the imperial capital this time? ”
Yang Xing shook his head and said: "I'll guard the restaurant, let Sister Jing, Fugui, and Dazhi pay you away!" Sister Jing is calm and smart, rich and brave and brave, and ambitious to run fast enough, with the three of them with you, the owner of the village and I can rest assured! ”
Yang Xu joked: "I heard that the imperial capital is the most prosperous and rich place in the world, full of gold, and beautiful people like clouds, don't you feel sorry if you don't go on a trip?" ”
Yang Xing said: "When this side is stable, I think I will pass!" ”
He looked at Yang Xu squarely, and said with a serious face: "Sir, in the flower world of the imperial capital, temptation is everywhere, don't lose yourself......"
Yang Xu smiled: "When you say temptation, do you mean money or beauty?" Haha, what if I like both? Drunk in the pile of gold, sleeping in the gentle countryside, which man doesn't like it? Alas, I'm in the imperial capital, and I'm sure I'm lost......"
Although Yang Xing knew that he was joking, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and thought to himself: "Sir, sir, the owner of the village seems to have some meaning to you, if you really linger in the imperial capital, you will live up to her wishes." ”
