When Zhao Xuefei heard Li Feibai say this, he knew that Li Feibai meant to help. Immediately stood up from the ground, and opened a coal cellar and an iron smelting station by telling himself how he had fallen for Cao Zhiyuan. Now, Cao Zhiyuan is preparing to make a joint patrol to treat him to death, and he has told him all the details.

Li Feibai also said what is the matter, it is worth Zhao Xuefei to condescend to kneel, it turned out to be this matter.

He also knew a little about this matter, and he heard it all from Ma Kun's mouth. Because of the too much money owed for the work, the craftsmen and the people made trouble in three days, and Ma Kun didn't know how many times he went to mediate.

He once asked Ma Kun what the situation was like in the coal cellar and the iron smelting plant, and Ma Kun also told the truth.

According to Ma Kun, there are tens of millions of catties of coal mined, all of which are high-quality coking coal, and if sold at the current price, you can make a profit of more than 100,000 or 200,000 taels. There is also a lot of iron smelted, a full 30 million catties, but unfortunately it is the lowest grade yellow iron, even so, if it is sold at the market price, it can also be sold for tens of thousands of taels. If green iron can be smelted, the price can be doubled. If you can smelt wrought iron or even steel, it will not be a problem to multiply it by more than ten or twenty times.

It is said that these two transactions are both profitable transactions, but they can't be sold, and more than 1,000 people are raised for nothing. Nowadays, the amount of food and money owed to these people is tens of thousands of taels, which not only cannot become a tool for the county to get money, but also consumes all the money and grain in the county, which has become the biggest burden on the county.

Ma Kun sighed when he talked about these things, but Li Feibai couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard it.

Zhao Xuefei has no way to sell coal, he has a way to sell coal! Zhao Xuefei has no way to sell iron, he has a way to sell iron! Moreover, he will not only sell raw materials, but will process them a little and turn them into iron products, so that he can make more money.

He had already made the idea of these two deals, and originally wanted to wait for the affairs of Xiapan Village to be arranged properly, so that he would help Zhao Xuefei solve the problem. Now when I saw Zhao Xuefei kneeling and begging to come to the door, I was overjoyed, but my face was deliberately embarrassed: "How do you want me to help?" ”

Zhao Xuefei said: "The surname Cao wants to make trouble, but he wants to find a way out from the deficit in the county and the troubles of the craftsmen. The county also invested 780,000 taels in coal cellars and iron smelting, and the amount of food and silver owed to the craftsmen should also be 780,000 taels, and the total amount of the two should be about 150,000 taels. Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Feibai, and then said:

"If I have a sum of 150,000 taels of silver, you can help me tide over the difficulties."

When Li Feibai heard this, he already understood what Zhao Xuefei was planning, this was his idea of beating his 300,000 taels of silver.

What kind of official Zhao Xuefei deserved, he didn't know. What is the level of Zhao Xuefei's business, from the fact that Zhao Xuefei doesn't even know how much money he owes, but he just roughly said the amount of seventy or eighty thousand taels, it can be seen that this person is an idiot in business, and it is no wonder that he will be calculated, the investment in two transactions is so big, and he owes a huge amount of 150,000 taels instead of making a penny.

Since Li Feibai has moved the mind of two transactions, he will naturally not help Zhao Xuefei tide over the difficulties in vain, if so, he will not be able to pocket these two transactions!

As long as the two transactions are still government-run and there are people at the top to manage them, he will not be able to show his strength, let alone subsequent development. If he ignores it, the two deals will continue to lose money along the way. If he intervenes, all the money will go to the county treasury and even the provincial treasury, and he will not get much benefit except for fattening a group of rats.

Li Feibai poked his teeth and said, "My lord, if it's 12,000 taels, I can still take it." That's 150,000 taels, I can't take it out! ”

Listen to the sound of words and listen to the sound of gongs and drums.

When Zhao Xuefei heard Li Feibai say this, he knew that Li Feibai was unwilling to take 150,000 taels of silver, and his already unsightly face was even more ugly.

He tried hard to squeeze out a smile and said, "Feibai, didn't you temporarily store 300,000 taels of silver in the county treasury?" With only half of it, my brother has a way to live! After a pause, he said, "Feibai, as long as you can help your brother tide over the difficulties, Jiyuan County will be the world of you and me from now on, no matter what you want to do, you will support your brother without hesitation." I hope you will help my brother this time. ”

Li Feibai said: "If the money is mine, I will lend half of it to the adults without saying a word." But the money is not mine, and I can't be the master at all, so how can I lend half of it to adults. ”

Of course, Zhao Xuefei knew that the money was not Li Feibai, and he didn't know who it was, but listening to Ma Kun, someone used the money to do business with Li Feibai. A person is willing to use 300,000 taels to do business with Li Feibai, in his opinion, this person's brain is not very bright, he can't do business with a county order, what kind of business can Li Feibai do as a farmer?

Since Li Feibai can use clever words to make that person spend 300,000 taels of silver to do business, he must also be able to use clever words to let that person move half of it for him to use temporarily.

He smiled and said, "Feibai, since that person is willing to do business with you with so much silver, it can be seen that he has a good relationship with you." Talk to him well, and let him lend me 150,000 taels of silver first. ”

Li Feibai said: "That person has a good relationship with me, but when she took out this silver, she said in advance, the silver is for business, and it can't be used for other purposes!" Now that adults want to borrow silver to use, I'm afraid that people will not agree to it! Besides, even if she is willing to borrow silver for the adults to use, there must be interest and repayment dates, the so-called debt is not more than a year, and the adults are sure that the 150,000 taels of silver and interest will be paid off before the year? If I can't pay it back, I'm afraid that adults will cause even more trouble! ”

Zhao Xuefei's face was even more gloomy! At this time, it was only a little more than four months before the end of the year, and it was even more difficult for him to return 150,000 taels of silver in four months. He originally borrowed money to tide over the difficulties, as long as he could get through the difficulties, he wouldn't think about how to repay the silver at all, and even if he thought about it, he couldn't afford to pay it back, at most he left the account to the next county magistrate. As for how the person who lent him the money will get it back, it depends on the ability of the borrower.

But Li Feibai's last sentence made him really unhappy, and he said in his heart: "What do you mean? Is it possible that a small businessman can still make me a county order? He said, "What trouble can you cause?" ”

Li Feibai said with a smile: "Do you know, what is the origin of the person who takes 300,000 taels of silver?" ”

Zhao Xuefei decided that the person who took 300,000 taels of silver was a loser with a bad brain, and said in his heart: "What can a rich loser come from?" But he said, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Your Excellency has heard of the Daxing. ”

Zhao Xuefei is a scholar, he looks down on businessmen in his heart, and he doesn't care much about the business, the only familiar business name is the county's Dashenghao, that is because the shopkeeper of the Dasheng often does things that hurt the heavens and reason, he is like a stalk in the throat, and he wants to get rid of it. However, this Daxing number felt familiar to him, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Li Feibai continued: "The chief shopkeeper of the Daxing is surnamed Tang, and his name is Xin'an!" ”

Zhao Xuefei suddenly had an impression and said: "But the shopkeeper of Tang Xin'an, the chief manager of Tang Xin'an, who did the business in the fifty-two prefectures of eight provinces?" ”

Li Feibai said: "That's right! The chief shopkeeper of Daxing is the chief shopkeeper of Tang Xin'an Tang who has done business in eight provinces and fifty-two prefectures! ”
