Chapter 307: Squeeze
The next morning, before dawn, the front of Changsun Rong's house was crowded with people. The news is like having long legs, and there are word of mouth that run faster than the wind.
They all have IOUs in their hands, and they are all waiting for Changsun Rong to come out and settle the bill for everyone.
"Big brother, can this be true? The eldest grandson is a noble man with status, how can he send us these two little money. Did you hear me wrong! Niu Er said dissatisfiedly because he got up early.
"You know what? Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, this money is a year's income. If there is no shadow, how will you have a year? Niu Da slapped his younger brother, this rammer doesn't know the seriousness of the matter yet. The eldest brother of the family knows the chief steward in the eldest grandson's mansion, how can what he said be false?
"Don't fight, it hurts. Whatever you say is what you say! I guess it's about to open the door, why are there so many people today. Erniu muttered dissatisfiedly.
Just after the hour, the gate of the Eldest Sun's Mansion opened. The steward stretched his waist and was really shocked to see so many people outside the door.
"Why is it so early? Wait, queue, queue, all fucking queue for Lao Tzu. "Seeing the crowd at the door, the steward chased people like ducks. Make a place for the guys to move out of the guys and start handing out the money.
More than a dozen strong men pushed carts full of copper coins. Niu Er glanced at the eldest brother with disdain, and said that the grandson of the family has no money, see what it is? It's okay to listen to the wind and rain, and there is no accurate score.
The crowd began to line up chaotically, and there were also fights for positions. As a result, without exception, they were all driven out by the guards of the eldest grandson's family. The strip in his hand will not be dealt with tomorrow.
Seeing the serious consequences, the crowd suddenly became orderly. One by one, they lined up, not wanting to wait until tomorrow to get their money.
Watching people receive money one by one, they kept weighing money. There are constantly strong men in the back with carts, and a cart of copper coins is launched. It seems that the copper coins of the Changsun Mansion will always be inexhaustible. Seeing the scene in front of them, those in line felt as if they had eaten a scale. This time, it can be regarded as the bottom.
"You have to think of a way, you can't go on like this! Our money is about to bottom out, and we won't be able to hold out until it gets dark. Listening to the bustling sound outside, Changsun Rong's mouth was full of bitterness.
Everything that can be mortgaged has been mortgaged, and everything that can be sold has been sold. This can be regarded as raising tens of thousands of dollars, but look at the posture in front of you. It would be nice to be able to make it until dark!
"What then? The old man's family even took out the money for vegetables, and if those silkworm farmers couldn't get the money, they would immediately make trouble. Wu Shitong said helplessly, he was so worried that half of his hair turned white in one night.
"Can you find someone to borrow some more?" Eldest Sun Rong asked tentatively.
"Borrow? At this time, who will lend you money. Don't talk about borrowing, the money I borrowed two days ago was urged to go back. I don't know who leaked the news, I know it so clearly, it must be my own people. Wu Shitong said angrily. He firmly believes that the leak is not his person. are all old people who have followed him for decades, and this self-confidence is still there.
"What then? You can't just sit back and die! "Changsun Rong really doesn't have the slightest idea now, and now he has only one word in his mind, and that is money! As long as you can get money, you are willing to chop off one of his hands.
"Why don't you go out and tell them that they can rest for two days. As long as it is delayed for two days, there will be interest. Let's give three cents, how about three cents a day? Wu Shitong thought for a while and said. After all, the people are greedy for money. As long as they are given some benefits, they can easily deal with this turmoil.
"My Ying Guogong! That's not rushing to tell people that we have no money. Do you dare to say this today, do you believe that the people who will come to receive the money tomorrow will be able to line up outside Yangzhou from here. The eldest grandson said angrily. This is simply a bad idea, after being an official for so many years in vain, he still doesn't know the importance like this.
"Childe! Son! Oh no, no! The steward of the eldest grandson's family hurriedly ran in.
"What's the noise? Dog minion, the sky is falling? "When Changsun Rong is irritable, that is, this steward is the most loyal and easy to use on weekdays, and he is not beaten when he eats.
"Childe! A few big families have just arrived, and they insist on withdrawing money. Almost all of our copper coins have been redeemed, and now we only have less than 10,000 copper coins in our hands. Not to mention holding on until dark, even if it is noon, I am afraid that I will not be able to pass it. Childe, think of a way.
There are almost a few thousand people in front of this house, and it will definitely be a big deal if there is a disturbance. The steward said in a panic.
"What?" Eldest Sun Rong was so anxious that he slapped his thigh. It's really damn that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and if I didn't mention the money early or late, I didn't mention the money late, so I rushed to withdraw it today.
"Ying Guogong, you use the silver of the city. Now there is only this money that can save our lives. Changsun Rong said almost with a crying voice.
"The old man has no right to use the money of the city division now. If it does, it's even more troublesome. Maybe the 800,000 things will be hooked up, absolutely not, absolutely not! Wu Shitong hurriedly bit to death.
At this time, this product was still in the market. This time he couldn't listen to him for anything, and Wu Shitong almost hated himself to death. Why was he blinded by lard in the first place, and followed this kid to do business in partnership. Now it's okay, the title that he fought so hard for is likely to be taken back by Li Er.
Even so, their whole family will be sent to Lingnan to fish. As for himself, Wu Shitong didn't dare to imagine it. Li Er is now addicted to taking the title, and in this kind of days of sealing the waves, he can be regarded as committing a crime against the wind. According to Li Er's Hades temperament, let alone cutting off the head, even if it is chopped, it is possible.
As soon as he thought of the word, Wu Shitong thought of the dead son. It would be nice if he was there, the kid was the smartest from childhood to adulthood, and he would be able to figure it out. It's a pity ......!
"Oh no, Childe! There's no money out there, so get an idea. Those silkworm farmers and silkworm merchants are still in chaos, so it is better for you to take advantage of the chaos and go through the back door first. Otherwise, once the silkworm farmers make trouble, your life will be at risk! Steward Hu walked in from the outside and said cautiously.
"Go and tell them. I won't pay it today, and I'll talk about it early tomorrow morning. Eldest Sun Rong's eyes were red, even if it was tomorrow, what would he take to settle the payment for them?
"Childe, the silkworm farmers outside will make trouble." Steward Hu said in shock.
"I can't do that much, do as I tell you?"
"No!" The steward responded and quickly retreated.
