This family with a high surname, if you want to talk about it, it is also a bit of fate with Wang Yan, the last time Wang Yan paid a private visit, the table next to him, fooled his hometown relatives to come to Nanjing to set up a workshop, it was the fat man who jumped from the second floor.

This fat man's name is Gao Yihuan, and he is the second oldest in the clan, so he is called the second brother of high school.

Last time, he invited the third uncle of the clan to Nanjing, persuaded him to sell the land and set up a workshop in Nanjing, after all, his third uncle was older, and did not dare to take such a big risk, and finally only agreed to sell half of the field, and he borrowed 1,000 taels from Wude to set up the workshop.

Gao Yihuan originally worked in other industries, raw materials and shipping channels, after the workshop was set up, there was soon a profit, which greatly increased his confidence, and used it as a mortgage for the workshop, and borrowed 3,000 taels from Wude again to expand the scale of the workshop and purchase raw materials, making him a famous figure in Nanjing Waiguo.

He relied on a few empty gloves white wolf, with the third uncle's family and the silver of the five virtues, founded Gao's cotton spinning, the workshop covers an area of 70 acres, employing more than 600 people, from a business guy, suddenly became a famous businessman in Nanjing, many people from his hometown, have come to him, he is also not refused, all arranged in the workshop, has been out of the original class.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, with the development of the workshop, all kinds of troubles followed, first the ruffians and gangs in Nanjing targeted the workshop, and then the powerful people in the city also wanted to intervene and make him trouble, but for this kind of trouble, he still has a way to solve it.

For the ruffians and hooligans, he organized hired workers to protect the workshop, and directly disabled the people who came to stir up trouble, which can be described as fierce, and for the powerful, he offered a part of the dividends, and when he found a backer, the gangs and scoundrels in the city did not dare to entangle, and several scoundrels who threatened to burn his warehouse were all directly put into prison and quietly killed by Chen Zhutou of Ying Tianfu.

In this way, although he was struggling, but the workshop was built by him step by step, but he didn't want King Lu to suddenly rebel, after the rebels came to the city, the army looted his warehouse, and even the workshop and loom were destroyed, not to mention beating him back to his original shape, and he owed a lot of debts.

To say that with his ability, as long as there is an injection of funds, it is not a problem to set up a new workshop, but in this world, there are many icing on the cake and less carbon in the snow.

In order to control risks and reduce bad debts, money banks generally do not take too much risk to lend to others.

When Gao Yihuan's workshop was thriving, Qian Zhuang was eager to send the money to him and let him borrow money, but once Gao Yihuan had an accident, Qian Zhuang immediately turned his face and denied people, and frantically demanded debts from Gao Yihuan.

Wudehao, a money village with a strong background, has both black and white means of debt collection, and a piece of paper-like paper is sent to the yamen, and the officials do not dare to slack off, and immediately send people to seize all the assets such as Gao's cotton spinning warehouses and workshops, which can be regarded as an opportunity for Gao Yihuan to make a comeback.

Qian Zhuang first sealed his assets to pay off his debts, and then began to urge him to pay back the rest of the money.

Gao Yihuan has a lot of means, and he is also smart, he has a way to deal with ruffians and hooligans, as well as ordinary bureaucrats, but when faced with the behemoth of Wude, he has no way at all, because he is completely unqualified to talk to Wude.

Gao Yihuan scurried on the roof, jumped into an alley, and finally got rid of the pursuit with a bruised nose and swollen face.

He walked through the alleys of the shantytown, and when he was sure that no one was following, he dodged into a narrow alley and pushed the door into a house.

More than a dozen men in the room gathered together, and it seemed that they were having a family meeting, and they suddenly saw Gao Yihuan come in, and one of the young men immediately stood up in surprise and exclaimed urgently: "Second brother! ”

This man's name is Gao Yizhen, the fourth in line, Gao Yihuan nodded to him, but walked directly to an old man in the middle, and saluted: "Third uncle!" ”

This house of people are from the hometown to come to Gao Yihuan people, a few days ago King Lu attacked Nanjing, they were requisitioned by the imperial court to participate in the defense of the city, and so after the King of Lu soldiers retreated, they were ready to go back to the workshop to work, who knew that the workshop was seriously damaged, and so they finally cleaned up a piece of land out, ready to start from scratch, but the government closed the workshop.

The old man glanced at Gao Yihuan and nodded, but Gao Yizhen on the side asked anxiously, "Second brother, how is it?" Will the workshop still be saved? ”

Gao Yihuan sighed and shook his head, "I asked a few money banks, because the workshop was mortgaged to Wude, and there was no new mortgage, and other money banks were unwilling to lend us money." The workshop is over! ”

When the men in the room heard this, they immediately panicked, it was their rice bowl, "What can I do about this?" ”

During this period of time, the old man watched Gao Yihuan make the workshop bigger, but his understanding of him has changed a little, and he feels that this nephew is a capable person, and he is not as panicked as the juniors, "What is Huan'er going to do?" Uncle listen to you this time! ”

Gao Yihuan's face leaked bitterness, and he suddenly took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, "Uncle, here are three hundred taels of tickets, you take it and divide it with the clansmen who came over, and send the two months' wages." The rest is even if the nephew pays the third uncle, the nephew knows that the silver is far from enough, and you should not be too little, if it is taken by the money bank, this will be gone! ”

Qian Zhuang is in a hurry, these money at home, definitely can't let go, and he owes too much money, even if three hundred taels of silver is returned to Qian Zhuang, it is far from erasing the debt he owes, and he does not like to give the silver to the people who follow him.

"Second brother, I don't blame you for this incident, you gave us the money, what should you do?" Gao Yizhen said urgently.

"Yes, second brother, why don't we flee back to the township, how about the second brother make a comeback with this silver?" More than a dozen men were a little moved when they saw Gao Yihuan giving them the silver.

"This time my heart is too big, the production expansion is too fast, and I don't have enough silver left in my hands, so as soon as there is a problem, the workshop collapses immediately, and I can't blame anyone! If you want to blame it, you can only blame this sudden rebellion! Gao Yihuan sighed again, "I can't go back to the township, you don't know the background of the Wude, I can't stay in the Ming Dynasty, I can only run to Nanyang, or go to Japan to mine!" ”

The power of the Wude is all over the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he owes thousands of taels of silver, and there are still people who trouble him when he leaves Nanjing, and he has only one way to go to sea.

remembered that some time ago, he was still the owner of a hot emerging workshop in Nanjing, and he went bankrupt in a blink of an eye, and he wanted to flee to Nanyang, Gao Yihuan and everyone were embarrassed in their hearts.

"What about my sister-in-law and niece?" When they went to Nanyang, they didn't know if they were alive or dead, and they didn't get news once in a year or two, and Qian Zhuang was afraid that he wouldn't let them go.

This is exactly what Gao Yihuan is worried about, but it is useless for him to stay, "Just now Zhao Wu ran to collect debts again, I was afraid that they would rob the three hundred taels of silver, so I ran out first in a hurry, and I don't know what the situation at home is!" ”

He paused as he spoke, "If it's okay, then I'll take them to Luzon by boat early tomorrow morning." I've inquired about it, Luzon is recruiting people to pioneer the land, and it is said that there are still gold mines, so our family can go there to avoid the Wude Chamber of Commerce and start anew. ”

"Second brother, you stay here, sister-in-law, I'll send someone to keep an eye on it, if it's okay, I'll ask my sister-in-law to pack up her things and come over overnight!" Gao Yizhen said a word, then waved his hand for a teenager to go and star, and then he asked: "Second brother, I heard that Luzon Island is barren, and now it is the territory of the rebels, can you really live there?" ”

Gao Yihuan was relieved to see someone to help him keep an eye on his home, and thought deeply: "In fact, there are two roads, at the beginning of the year, the imperial court signed a treaty with Japan in the east, and the imperial court obtained the right to mine a gold mine, and is recruiting people to go to mining, and the salary is very high, but for me, going is just to be a miner and get some dead money, I am still a little unwilling in my heart!" ”

"The second brother is a person who does big things, and it is really not suitable to go to mining!" Many men chimed in.

Gao Yihuan continued: "I have a better chance of going to Luzon, Luzon is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the Zheng family is good at trade, they are short of talents in all aspects, I can go to open up the wasteland first, stand on my feet, and then find an opportunity to go to sea to trade, which is much better than mining for people." ”

"Second brother, if you go to Luzon, then take me with you! Now that my family has no land and the workshop has closed down again, I am willing to go to Luzon with my second brother, even if it is not developed, at least I can farm in Luzon! A man spoke.

He turned out to be a tenant, but because the owner changed the land from renting the land to the tenant to directly hire long-term workers, he had no land to plant, so he came to Nanjing to take refuge in the second year of high school.

When the sophomore fooled the third uncle to sell the field and went to Nanjing to open a workshop, the senior was more excited than his father.

Now that the workshop had collapsed, half of the family's land had been sold, and he had nothing to do when he returned to his hometown, he had the idea of going to Luzon with his second brother.

When the third uncle Gao saw his son looking at him, he didn't stop him this time, but took out two hundred taels from the three hundred taels of votes and handed it to him, "It takes money to do big things, you can follow if you want to, don't worry about your family!" ”
