Usury!

For ordinary people, they are no strangers to usury, after all, they have always thought that usury is the most common means of oppressing the people. In fact, it is also no stranger to dignitaries. Of course, some of them put it away, and naturally some of them borrowed it.

And among the people who borrow, there are all kinds of people.

Some people borrow money, but only for a momentary need. In fact, this is the case for the vast majority of people. In the past, the place where the capital borrowed silver, there were only money villages, business names, and now there is another "Yulon Bank", compared with the money village business, although the Yulon Bank has just been opened for less than a year, but because of the silver ticket and famous, less than a year of effort, the capital inside and outside the city probably know Yulon's silver ticket, than real gold. Of course, Longyu's loan interest is also much lower than that of money banks and merchants, and it is usually the first choice for loans from Beijing gentry.

On this day, when the first snow was about to fall, a group of riders stopped in front of the bank gate on the side of West Chang'an Street, and the man who jumped off the horse looked like he was about 30 years old. He jumped off his horse with great skill, and then casually threw his cloak and whip to his retinue who had just dismounted.

"Here you go, go on."

The man who followed him hurriedly took off his cloak and horsewhip, and respectfully followed him into the bank.

As soon as the clerk in the bank saw that these people were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and the attendants behind him were carrying waist knives, they immediately felt that this person was extraordinary, so they greeted him.

"This son ......"

Without waiting for the staff to be polite, the visitor said.

"I want to see your money manager."

As he spoke, Li Rusong took out a name sticker.

"It was Qi Junmen who introduced me."

Seeing that the name sticker was issued by the manager, this kind of business card is not available to ordinary people, and it is already possible to show that the identity of the other party is unusual just by looking at this business card, and the staff hurriedly greeted warmly.

"This son, please follow me upstairs."

Then she led Li Rusong and his party upstairs, and then the clerk went into the room to ask for instructions, and when the door opened again, she saw Qian Lei who greeted her in person and said with a smile.

"Oh, I never thought that it was the major general who visited in person, and the major general only sent someone to inform him, why do you need the major general to come to the door in person."

Qian Lei's politeness made Li Rusong stunned, he obviously didn't expect the other party to be so polite before coming. So he said quickly.

"We know each other?"

"I've heard of it for a long time."

Qian Lei said enthusiastically.

"Even in Beijing, I have heard for a long time that the Li family in Liaodong is a tiger general, and I also know that if there are no generals such as Li Junmen and Major General, how can there be peace in Liaodong?"

Politely, Qian Lei invited him into the manager's room, and then instructed the staff to beckon his entourage to wait in the waiting room on the side.

personally poured tea for Li Rusong, Qian Lei asked tentatively.

"I don't know what the young general is here for?"

In fact, as soon as Li Rusong entered the city yesterday, Qian Lei heard about them, and he also knew that Jingshi didn't know how many businessmen were beating their ideas.

Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang can be called the northern twin walls of the Ming Dynasty, and have been guarding the border of the Ming Dynasty, but the difference between the Mongols is that Li Chengliang will produce rare things in the face of the Jurchens, ginseng, Dongzhu, mink and other furs are valuable good things, and because Li Chengliang is located in a remote relationship, so every year ago, he will send his son to Beijing to give gifts, this gift is not only sent to the ministers, many officials in the capital are also visiting, and the merchants are staring at the Li family brought into Beijing gifts.

That's more than 100 truckloads of good stuff!

"Don't tell lies in front of real people, on the way to the capital, I met General Qi. He specially instructed me that if I need silver, I can take out a loan from you, you know, for so many years, the merchants in the capital have all treated our Li family as pigs......"

Li Rusong sneered, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with the businessman.

"Not to mention, the things they sell to Liaodong are of high price and quality, that is, the things I brought to the capital, at least three percent lower, yesterday the housekeeper was looking for it on the street, several old and good dealers, all said that at the end of the year, the silver is tight, there is no silver to buy the things I brought, they are not without silver!"

Staring at Qian Lei, Li Rusong said without concealment.

"But they want to lower the price, they know that I don't stay in the capital for a long time, at most half a month to go back, this half a month to visit a lot of people, a day can not be delayed, press today, to tomorrow I will definitely go to beg them, this thing can at least be pressed down by thirty percent, or even fifty percent out, the New Year...... To kill the pigs, what they think, I know! ”

When Li Rusong explained, Qian Lei just smiled and said nothing. Before opening a bank, he knew that the Li family was famous. Whoever let them attack the Jurchens often, and each time they captured hundreds of thousands, such rich border generals...... No, that's really not the nature of a businessman.

"What does the young general mean?"

"I want to borrow money from you and get things done first."

When the words fell, Li Rusong took out an egg-sized Dongzhu and put it on the table.

"I know that the rules of your bank, if there is no mortgage, you must not make a loan, so I want to mortgage things to your Yulon Bank!"

In previous years, when Li Rusong entered Beijing, he swallowed his anger, but this year, he didn't want to endure it. After all, being exploited for so many years, there was no way in the past, but now that I have the opportunity, I naturally don't want to be treated as a "pig" by the businessmen in the capital as before.

"It's ......"

"This is Dongzhu, such an egg-sized Dongzhu is worth at least a thousand taels of silver, Manager Qian, you and I meet for the first time, and it is not a tribute."

What a "thin" gift!

first glanced at Dongzhu on the table, and then looked at Li Rusong, Qian Lei knew that this was the reason why the Li family did not fall, and there was no other ...... Bribe courtiers with a lot of money! Naturally, the courtiers will open up to him.

"Manager Qian, don't worry, I will definitely not make it difficult for you, whether it is the fur, ginseng or Dongzhu I brought, it is a rare thing in the capital, there is no place to sell it in the capital, as long as you survive these few days, they will naturally come to buy things at that time, after all, in winter, there is a sea of people who want to use fur and ginseng!"

After that, seeing that he seemed to be still hesitating, Li Rusong deliberately emphasized again.

"I only borrow 200,000 taels and repay the loan in half a month, according to your highest interest, and give two months of benefits, how about it?"

Two months of interest......
