At the gate of Fenglong Money Shop, the shopkeeper Zhang was smiling and said goodbye to Qin Bai warmly. Today, another business was made, using East 2nd Fang, South 3rd Fang, Shanglin Village and Xiaohongling as collateral, and Fenglong Money Shop lent a total of 2,500 taels to Qin Bai.

Mr. Zhang is not worried about any borrowing risks. The 5,000 taels borrowed for the first time did not need to be paid to Qin Bai's cash, but was offset by the monthly ore sales, and was transferred to Du Bai's account. In fact, if you calculate a few numbers on the ledger, you can safely collect interest every month.

And although this loan has to be given to the silver, the mortgage of those four places is more than enough. Not to mention anything else, thousands of taels have already been invested in the Shanglin Village mining area alone, right? And it's really dedicated, and it is easy for He Fu to get news from Du Bai.

Fenglong Money Shop is not afraid of Qin Bai's account, in this acre of three-point land, no one dares to rely on the account of He Mansion. Hong Leong Money Shop even has the confidence to say this, even if someone robs Qin Bai's territory, as long as he relies on today's IOU, he can still make these people obediently spit it out!

However, when Qin Bai left, Li Kang on the side asked worriedly, "Second Brother Bai, do you really want to borrow so much?" And eight percent per month, or a broken interest and rolling interest, this money shop is too dark, right? ”

In fact, needless to say, Li Kang, the subordinates who knew, almost all of them were frightened by Qin Bai's generous loans. Small peasant mentality, especially afraid of borrowing money, especially reluctant to borrow interest. In addition, the amount of money Qin Bai borrowed was already too large, and it was even far beyond Li Kang's imagination.

Qin Bai was immediately happy. In his modern thinking, being able to borrow money to do his own business is a win-win situation. The key is to do what you can, but even if you get the broken interest today, you only need to pay 200 taels of interest per month in the future, which is not very heavy.

And then there's the most urgent thing! Qin Bai is in short supply of cash in his hands! Whether it is to dredge up the government or prepare for war, there is no shortage of cash from this white flower.

There is also a rat bogey. With a loan of 7,500 taels, or the 1,300 taels of silver that he has already gotten in his hands, plus 1,000 taels of silver bills (after deducting the interest on the severed head), He Fu never wants to lose it in vain, right?

So it is certain that the shopkeeper Zhang has not received the news at all, and Qin Bai took advantage of this time difference to obtain this loan. Otherwise, today's borrowing would not have gone so smoothly at all.

……

Qin Bai ordered the carriage loaded with silver to return to the East Erfang first, and then said to Qin Gao and Li Dang: "Let's go, let's go do something first, and visit the inspection master." ”

More than an hour later, several people walked out of the inspection office. This time, Li Dang was surprised: "Second Brother Bai, aren't you all saying, doesn't this inspection master work at all?" Why do you want to give more than 50 taels of gifts, and spend 450 taels to get a house deed? Isn't that a waste of money? ”

Qin Bai smiled and explained: "You didn't inquire carefully enough. Although the cloud inspection is useless, his daughter is the third grandmother of Hefu. Now the third grandmother is in charge of the affairs of Hefu! ”

"Oh!" Li Kang seemed to understand, "You want to inspect the old man to intercede for us, and let the third grandmother raise her noble hand?" ”

Qin Bai smiled and shook his head, but he didn't explain either. If the sentiment is useful, then the money is really well spent. But that third grandmother can manage the whole mansion as a woman, and she shouldn't be like that cloud patrol, she is a fool who is greedy for small profits. On the contrary, out of consideration for his own rights, he would not leave any good opinion of Qin Bai's small actions.

But Qin Bai didn't care about the third grandmother's opinion, his purpose was to make Yun Xi leave an impression. In other words, Qin Bai just spent money on gifts to buy a bad impression. Anyway, a bad impression is also an impression, as long as Yun Xi can remember himself as a person. With the above two steps, I don't ask He Fu or Zhenwei to help me, I just don't want to tear down the stage. Otherwise, it will be a lose-lose situation, and it will not be good for Hefu.

Qin Bai then smiled at Li Dang and said, "The silver ticket has already cost five hundred taels. Let's go, let's try to spend all this thousand taels as soon as possible. ”

"Huh? Second Brother Bai, do you still have to spend money? ”

"Hehe, dare, teach you something, sometimes you have to learn to borrow and spend!"

If you want to turn a silver ticket into cash, you must go to the Hong Leong Money Shop to exchange it. If you don't rush to spend it, I'm afraid it will be too late!

……

When Qin Bai and the others came to the Xia Ji Warehouse outside Zhuangwai, they saw that the store was quite deserted, and the location was also very remote, so there was no business at all.

However, as soon as the guy reported, I saw an old man and a young man warmly greeting him: "Second Master Bai, look up for a long time!" The contemptible surname is Wu, and he is barely the shopkeeper of Xia Ji. This young owner. ”

"Long admiration, Second Master Bai! Come on in! In Xia Xia Jinhong, I have long wanted to get to know you. Today, I have a fate and a privilege to climb high. Don't be disgusted by the poor hospitality. ”

Qin Bai was taken aback by the enthusiasm of these two people. The reason why I came here today is that when I passed by in the past, I happened to find that this shop actually sells Japanese katana. So I wanted to buy a few for myself.

Qin Bai didn't know that in fact, after Xia Jinhong and Shopkeeper Wu arrived in Jingjiazhuang, they had been suffering from not being able to open the situation. The attitude of the He Mansion towards them has always been lukewarm, even if the additional order of 20,000 iron pots is useless. Therefore, now the mentality of the two of them is a little sick and rushes to the doctor, and they want to give it a try at any opportunity, and of course they will not let go of Qin Bai, a new celebrity.

However, Qin Bai quickly regained his composure, no matter what Xia Ji had in mind, he still settled the matter first: "Shaodong, shopkeeper Wu, I came to the door today, I have something to ask for." I don't know how you sell that kind of knife? I'd like to buy a few here. ”

As soon as he heard this, Shopkeeper Wu was very happy: "Second Master Bai, are you talking about the sword?" We don't have a lot of stock here, just twenty. If you want, you can use it first. ”

The Xia family really didn't care about a few knives. Boatloads of raw silk, cotton cloth, porcelain, ironware, and copper coins (although copper was produced in Japan, it was impossible to mint copper coins at that time, so they imported a large number of Chinese copper coins as the currency of the market) and other commodities were shipped to Japan, in exchange for boatloads of gold and silver.

However, the loss of gold and silver in large quantities will definitely be controlled by those daimyo of Japan's Sengoku period. For example, the control of imported goods requires a part of the iron tools that are urgently needed for war; For example, it is not possible to exchange all of it for gold and silver, and maritime merchants also need to purchase some Japanese goods.

And it's a waste to come back with a full ship of goods to Japan and run empty? The goods of five ships often come back with less than one ship of gold and silver, and the other four ships must always be full, so they can make a little profit.
