Chapter 200: Joshua Wong, You Dog Thief!
In the past month, although Qin Yiming has hyped it up, except for the recruitment of the military academy hall that has attracted many poor children, other aspects seem to have no effect.
After the De'an Research Institute recruited the down-and-out Zhao Jiming, all the craftsmen who came could not find a job were there, and there were almost no so-called high-tech talents, which made Qin Yiming quite disappointed.
On the other hand, Qin Yiming's bonds are not popular, this bond is divided into two kinds, one is a long-term ten-year bond, the other is a short-term two-year bond, the long-term interest rate is six percent, and the interest rate of short-term bonds is two percent.
"Could it be that the interest on my bond is set too low? Not appealing to everyone? Qin Yiming said to himself, he thought that after he launched the bonds, everyone would rush to buy them, but he didn't expect it to be so cold.
"It's all useless to me, I'm sorry, Xianggong!" Xu Zhen'er was very unhappy, she felt that she had not done a good job of what Qin Yiming had explained.
"Qin Lang, take your time in everything, how long have you been working hard, besides, this is the first time everyone has heard of this bond, many people don't understand what it is, those people are still used to lending usury, and when everyone accepts it and finds that this thing can make money, they may rush to buy it." Chen Yuanyuan comforted.
Qin Yiming saw that Xu Zhen'er was very self-blaming, he understood that his disappointment had infected Xu Zhen'er, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, good Zhen'er, Yuanyuan is right, this matter is not in a hurry, everyone is still waiting and seeing, don't worry." β
"But now that the research institute has been established, and the university hall is recruiting more and more people, these all need silver, and the Xu family doesn't have much financial resources now, and they will have to ...... food next year" Xu Zhen'er was very anxious and blamed herself.
"Okay, Zhen'er, this has nothing to do with you, this road may not work, what has Xu Dingwang been doing recently, I am going to send him to Wuchang Mansion."
Wuchang Mansion, the status of the Wang family is very important, it can be said that it is the boss of the business world, and everyone is waiting to see the Wang family's attitude towards De'an bonds.
Under the positive influence of Sun Shirui, Wang Yining and Wang Anli, brothers and sisters, both strongly advocated the purchase of De'an bonds in large quantities, but the head of the family, Wang Guotai, was not allowed.
Wang Anli went to the wine table with Qin Yiming, he felt that he knew Qin Yiming very well, Qin Yiming was a different Ming general, definitely an ambitious and trustworthy person, such a person, they should support it, and this bond is also profitable, why not, he really can't understand why his father refused.
Wang Yining is even more embarrassed, on the one hand, she is Sun Shirui's fiancΓ©e, Qin Yiming is Sun Shirui's sworn brother, the Wang family should help with this, on the other hand, her father clearly told them that the Wang family could not buy it, which put her in a dilemma.
Seeing his sister lamenting alone in the courtyard, Wang Anli couldn't bear it, and ran to his father's study with a thought.
"You must be calm in case of trouble, think twice, impatience can't solve any problems, look at you like this, how can I hand over the Wang family to you with peace of mind in the future?" Wang Guo'an glanced at his son, and then continued to read under the light, he was a businessman who liked to read, and he was a Confucian merchant.
"Father, just because my father said that he was not allowed to buy De'an's bonds, my sister is now in a dilemma, isn't it just 100,000 taels of silver? Father, what is this for! Wang Anli was full of reproach, and seeing that his father didn't care about his intentions, he continued to say impatiently: "Father, do our Wang family still care about a mere 100,000 taels of silver?" For 100,000 taels of silver to ruin my sister's happiness? β
"What do you kid know, this matter is not as simple as you think, hand me the tea." Wang Guoan continued to read.
Wang Anli picked up the teacup and brought it to him, and said, "Father, how difficult is this?" What's complicated? β
Wang Guotai put down the scroll, took a sip of tea, looked at his son, and said patiently: "You don't know Ning'er's difficulties?" But have you ever thought about the difficulties of our Wang family? β
"What's the Wang family's difficulty?"
"The Wang family has two large pieces of business, one is the salt introduction, the other is the foreign domain trade, this salt quotation is issued by the imperial court, if the household department does not give us the Wang family's salt introduction, the Wang family will inevitably be hit hard, and you have thought about what to do when the time comes?" Wang Guotai asked.
Wang Anli was puzzled: "Salt introduction is naturally extremely important to the Wang family, but what does this have to do with bonds? β
Wang Guotai shook his head, but continued to say patiently: "The situation in the court is chaotic, and now it is Zhang Zhifa and others who are in power in the court, they regard Qin Yiming as a mortal enemy, but Lord Qin is telling the truth at this time, what kind of salary is being paid, which makes people complain, and now there are many twists and turns in Lord Qin, in such a situation, what does it mean to buy bonds in De'an Mansion?" Do you think that someone in the court knows about it, and there will still be a good life for our royal family? Lord Fang also informed in advance that there is a great force in the imperial court, ready to liquidate Lord Qin, this trip to the troubled waters, let's hide. β
"This ......" At this point, Wang Anli also hesitated, all choices should be made in the interests of the family, even if it is at the expense of his sister's happiness.
"Lord Sun won't have a fight with our family because of this matter, he didn't be so careful, and after a while, call him over for a meal."
Li Chengzai received a letter from Huang Zhifeng, the commander of Cheng Tianwei, so he brought about 20 people and spent two days to Cheng Tianwei in Jingmen Prefecture.
As soon as Li Cheng got off the horse, he saw Joshua Wong greet him at the door of the guard, and said happily: "Lord Huang, it's been a long time." β
"Lord Li has been doing well lately!" Joshua Wong was also very pleased, with a smile on his face.
"Haha, the blessing of the chief soldier of Toqin, it's okay!"
"Haha, it seems that Master Li has been very busy recently, let's talk inside, I have prepared wine and food, let's have a good drink today, come here, take the brothers of Weiyang Wei down to eat."
Li Cheng followed Joshua Wong to the house, and sure enough, the wine and food had been served, Li Cheng sat down very unceremoniously and opened his mouth to eat, the reason why he was not polite was mainly because Joshua Wong was his friend.
Just when Li Cheng was eating and drinking, another woman suddenly came, extremely charming, twisting this ***, very profligate.
"Lord Li, this is Zhou Ting, the number one beauty of our Chengtianwei, I heard that Lord Li is coming today, and I took the initiative to ask Ying to come to compensate Lord Li for drinking." Joshua Wong said with a smile.
Li Cheng didn't know what Joshua Wong meant, why did he drink and eat, and get a prostitute to come over?
"Hehe, Lord Huang is okay, Li's family has a fierce wife, so it won't be contaminated!"
"Recently, it has been rumored that General Qin is in high spirits and wants the guard to take back the original land, but how can this be? If we do that, then how can we officials live? Joshua Wong smiled and said casually.
Li Cheng stopped and said solemnly: "Lord Huang, Lord Qin, this is for the good of the guard, the soldiers of the guard can't eat enough, how do you say let these people fight?" There is nothing wrong with clearing the tun and paying the real salary, those fields originally belonged to the guard, so they should be taken back. β
Li Cheng's completely different attitude made Huang Zhifeng feel embarrassed, and he could only reluctantly smile: "Hehe, Lord Li is righteous, what Lord Li said is true!" Zhou Ting, why are you stupid, don't you have a drink with Lord Li, if you don't accompany Lord Li today, you won't be allowed to go back. β
"Yes, Lord Huang!"
After three rounds of drinking, Li Cheng was already a little drunk, and Joshua Wong didn't know when he was gone, leaving Li Cheng and the prostitute Zhou Ting in the room.
Zhou Ting had already removed her coat at this time, revealing her red belly pocket, although Li Cheng drank too much, he looked contemptuous for Zhou Ting's **.
"Lord Li, the concubine body was actually originally Lord Huang's concubine, and she has always served Lord Huang, and today I am fortunate to be able to serve Lord Li, hehe." Zhou Ting said as she began to take off her clothes.
"**, get out of here!" Li Cheng was disgusted and drank loudly, but Zhou Ting seemed to be undaunted and even more unscrupulous.
Li Cheng had no choice but to flee from the door, but as soon as he went out, there were already many knife and axe players waiting outside the door, and Li Cheng couldn't understand what was going on.
"Lord Huang, what do you mean by this? Have I sinned against you? β
"Hehe, Master Li, we still have a friendship between us, so I will also give you a chance, as long as you shake the people you killed were instigated by Qin Yiming, I will spare you, otherwise, I will follow the order of Governor Huang and arrest the murderer Li Cheng, haha." Joshua Wong smiled presumptuously.
"You?" Li Cheng calmed down and said, "Lord Huang, why are you framing General Qin?" β
"Haha, why? This is not simple, the tuntian of this guard, my Huang family occupies 20,000 acres, why do you say I? If Qin Yiming doesn't fall, this matter can't stop, today you will either testify against Qin Yiming, or you will be ready to wait for death! β
"Joshua Wong, you dog thief, you can't die well!" Li Cheng was furious.
"Hmph, come on, Li Cheng, this beast, when I am in front of me, the concubine who bullied me is unbearable, I will arrest this person!"
"Joshua Wong, you dog thief! You don't have to die well! β
Although Li Cheng desperately resisted, he was eventually arrested and then taken to Chengtian Mansion.
Huang Renjie, the prefect of Chengtian Prefecture, was very proud when he learned that Li Cheng was successfully arrested, and immediately wrote several letters and sent them to various places.
"Haha, Qin Yiming, now that Li Cheng has been arrested, I think who else dares to pay the real salary, I'm afraid your wishful thinking will come to naught."
"My lord is wise, if it weren't for the adult's plan, I'm afraid we would really be helpless about this Li Cheng. If those big-headed soldiers of the Weiyang Guard knew that their adults were arrested for molesting other people's concubines, I am afraid they would not be willing to say more. The Chengtianfu Sect flattered.
"This matter should not be taken lightly, bring me all those bitter masters, and let them resubmit the case, testify, and make Li Cheng's case an iron case, Li Cheng, you must die!"
