The Beginning of the Troubled Times Chapter 35 is nothing but 300,000 taels of gold
Late at night, the original house, the study, the lights are not extinguished.
Yuan Yuxin and Steward Ma were very embarrassed at this time, they had been running for Yuan Yuxin for a day, and they had long been unable to take care of the image, since Steward Ma took the letter from Yuan Yuxin, the two have been silent, Steward Ma took the letter and looked at it, and finally handed the letter back to Yuan Yuxin, and the two were relatively speechless.
The letter was not written like asking for ransom, but like an old friend of Yuan Yuxin, the words on the letter were written vigorously and powerfully, and at the beginning he greeted Yuan Yuxin, and his tone was flat, but at the back, it was revealed between the lines.
The requirements on the letter are also very clear, before tomorrow, 100,000 taels of gold will be sent to the designated ship in Qingpu Port, and one or two less money will be one or two later-
"I can't control what my subordinates will do to Miss Yuan."
"Master, what are you going to do?" Steward Ma cautiously spoke.
"How much money do you have at home? With the money that can be delivered to the home by the end of tomorrow, the shops of all sizes in the city. Yuan Yuxin suddenly said that he didn't answer Steward Ma directly, but judging from his words, the answer didn't need to be asked anymore.
"There are forty-eight thousand taels of gold in the house, one hundred and two thousand gold leaves, and ...... silver."
"You don't have to count the silver," Yuan Yuxin interrupted Steward Ma, "You also saw that letter, they only need gold." ”
"Master, silver can also be exchanged for gold." Steward Ma said.
"That's right," Yuan Yuxin smiled bitterly, "You see I'm in a hurry, so how much silver do we have?" ”
"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, three hundred and thirty thousand pieces of silver."
"Then go and exchange them for gold now, ask all the money in Huaiyang, borrow if you can, I will never lose their interest." Yuan Yuxin stood up and paced back and forth in the room, "In this way, how much gold is there?" ”
"Three hundred and thirty thousand silver leaves, about 110,000 gold leaves, two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, can be exchanged for about eighty-three thousand taels of gold, adding up to about 138,000 taels, plus the gold in the house, less than 250,000 taels." On such a cold day, Steward Ma was still sweating profusely, "Where are the remaining 50,000 taels of gold going to go?" ”
In fact, it is not a problem for Yuan Xiangxin to take out 300,000 taels of gold, although it hurts his muscles and bones, but it will not reach the fundamental point, but the time is too tight, and as long as gold, all Yuan Xiangxin is a little embarrassed for a while.
"Sell the shops on Huayan Street at a low price, if you can't mortgage it, according to the current market price, the small shops on Huayan Street are at least 100 taels of gold, and the big ones are at least 1,000 taels of gold," Yuan Yuxin suddenly stopped and looked at Steward Ma's eyes, "You will go to spread the news early tomorrow morning, and those shops of mine will be sold at a price two percent lower than the market price, and the time will only be before tomorrow's Shen Shi, and only gold will be accepted." ”
Yuan Yuxin thought for a while, and then said, "Then go and tell the subordinates in the family to collect all the business income of the shops in the city during this period of time, and only gold." ”
"Master, I only handed it over once before the New Year," Steward Ma looked at Yuan Yuxin and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hand it over much now." ”
"Don't worry about these, just let them hand them over, quickly, and before the time of tomorrow, they must all be sent to Qingpu Port." Yuan Yuxin's speed of speech was very fast, although he knew that in this way, although his money empire would not collapse, it would also be greatly damaged, but he did not hesitate at all, and in a trance, Yuan Yuxin thought that he was back to his youth, fighting alone in a sinister shopping mall, with nothing, but without fear.
"Master, I know, I'll do it." Steward Ma bowed slightly to Yuan Yuxin and left the study.
Yuan Yuxin sat slumped on the chair, looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and muttered, "Stumbling, you must be safe." ”
That night, Huaiyang's large and small money houses were knocked open, almost every money village in the gold was exchanged, when the first ray of sunlight sprinkled in Huaiyang, another amazing news exploded - Yuan Xiangxin sold all the shops on his cigarette street at a price of eighty percent, some people got the news and acted immediately, and did not hesitate to borrow money to buy a few large stores, but some people had scruples, thinking that it was a trick of Yuan Xiangxin, and only dared to buy one or two small shops, Those who buy large stores at the expense of capital will soon find themselves making a lot of money, while those who only dare to buy one or two small stores will not help but regret and sigh vigorously. What they earn is not only the 20% of the buying and selling fees, but the income of the store after that, which is continuous and endless.
Before the halfway point, Shen was early, and the whole five hundred and ninety large boxes full of gold were neatly piled up in Qingpu Port, those who passed by, as well as the sailors and boatmen on the surrounding ships, all stretched their necks, and stared at their eyes round, as if looking at the money would become theirs, the original family did not spread any news, but if they didn't know what was in the boxes from those actions in the city, they were really fools. Most of them have lived their whole lives and have not even seen a tenth, nay, one hundredth, or even a thousandth of this money.
In addition to the onlookers, there are also workers who carry gold, and there are few guards on the dock, not to mention whether anyone has the courage to rob the original family's gold, even if there is, a box of gold is at least 500 catties, and three or five sturdy men will not be able to move it at all, and the speed of moving will not be fast.
"Sir, the remaining ten boxes of gold are on their way." Steward Ma sighed softly beside Yuan Yuxin, and scattered so much money at once, I don't know how many years it will take to earn it back.
"Hmm." Yuan Yuxin nodded, he was observing the three ships carrying gold, the letter said very clearly, divide the gold into three batches, send it to the ship designated by them in Qingpu Port, and wait for the ship to leave safely, the next day Yuan Yuxin will naturally return to Huaiyang, the man who wrote the letter also warned Yuan Yuxin, don't play tricks, he has his own way to count the amount of gold, and there is also his eyeliner on the dock, if the gold is missing one or two, I'm afraid that the one who comes back will not be a complete Yuan Yuxin.
The last batch of gold arrived, and the workers who carried the gold were sent to the ship, Yuan Yuxin looked at the boat that was gently shaking in the sea breeze, and suddenly smiled, this time, he still bet right, he naturally didn't dare to joke with the life of the original stumbling heart, how could a mere 300,000 taels of gold be compared with his baby daughter? So 300,000 taels of gold is a lot, but Yuan Yuxin did some tricks and feet on the box, each box is specially found, the iron part of the box is more, the box is deeper, Yuan Yuxin laid a layer of iron plate at the bottom, each box is at least 50 catties heavier than usual, so it will slow down the speed of the ship, no matter how to adapt to the time, but in one night, the ship will never sail more than 150 miles.
Boss Chen stood at the bow of the boat, watching the boat draught getting deeper and deeper, the joyful expression on his face could no longer be hidden, just the night before, the man didn't know why, and the reward for himself was increased, saying that as long as he sent these things out, then he could get one of the boxes, five hundred taels of gold, enough for himself to find a small town at will, buy a county order to get an official addiction, and no longer have to live carefully, for fear of annoying some big man again.
All the people on the three ships, including the cooks, were selected by the man to change into the ship, even people like Chen Zhi who don't know martial arts can see that those people, no matter which one they are, are the elite of the elite, and that man did this just to ensure the safety of the gold on the ship.
Boss Chen greeted Yuan Yuxin with a smile, but the latter didn't pay attention to him, he didn't even want to look at him, thinking that he was grouped with the person who kidnapped his daughter, but Boss Chen was not annoyed, a person like him was unlikely to leave any impression on Yuan Yuxin in his life, at first he was still afraid that Yuan Yuxin would remember his face, but then he thought about it, he was going to leave Huaiyang anyway, so he simply greeted Yuan Yuxin generously.
When the last box of gold was loaded onto the ship, Boss Chen set sail, and suddenly turned around and waved his arms vigorously at the crowd of onlookers, as if he was a hero who was going to achieve something terrible.
Yuan Yuxin didn't see this scene, when the last box of gold was loaded onto the ship, he had already turned around and left, sending away 300,000 taels of gold, and he didn't even frown. He rode on the Beilu Shenjun purchased by Zhongjin, galloped all the way, and came to the north gate without the slightest stop, and after a while, the horse steward followed with a few cronies.
"Steward Ma, you divide the people in the house into four groups, one wave each of the four gates in the southeast, northwest, and north, and don't close the city gate tonight, I want you to be there, waiting for the young lady to come back!" Yuan Yuxin did not dismount, he stared at the black and white scenery outside the city, his face sank and heavy.
"Yes, sir, I'll do it." Steward Ma dismounted and bowed to Yuan Yuxin, turned around and was about to leave, when Yuan Yuxin suddenly spoke again.
"If the young lady does not return before noon tomorrow, she will lead everyone to catch up with the three boats, pry open their mouths, ask for the identity of the people behind them, and kill them by the most cruel method, whether it is five horses or a thousand knives."
"And then use the same method to kill their families, their people, so that their family name is completely extinct, and no one is left, at that time, I want them to give my heart a burial." The surrounding servants of the original family were terrified when they heard it, they didn't know that Yuan Yuxin, who is usually kind and angry, and was called a great good person, actually had such a brutal side, but when Yuan Yuxin said this, his tone was flat, as if he was talking about something natural.
He seems to be saying, since you dare to touch my precious daughter, no matter who you are, no matter what the price you pay, I will also let you get retribution, or, drag you down to be buried.
After saying this, Yuan Yuxin suddenly smiled, "Of course, if the young lady comes back, it's best if nothing happens, if there is anything missing, I will decide how many people they should die." ”
"Yes...... Master. The steward said yes again, turned on his horse, and left with the servants.
When they walked away, Yuan Yuxin suddenly sighed faintly, "Stumbling, your father and I are a layman, and you are the only one I love in my life." ”
"If someone still wants to take you away from me, even if it is the emperor Laozi, I will strip him of his skin and bones." After a long time, he said again.
