Chapter 166: It is advisable to chase after the poor bravely

"Then I'll get straight to the point! I know that at the beginning of the year, the Baifu Commercial Bank had to pay the tax payment, so I asked Donglai Qian Zhuang to borrow a sum of money, the specific amount is 1 million taels of silver, which should be used with the four warehouses of the Baifu Restaurant and the wharf, as well as 25 shops in Weiyang County and Pingjiang County as collateral, as far as I know, this loan is an annual interest of one cent, at the end of the year, Baifu Qian Zhuang will repay you 1.1 million taels of silver, now, I am willing to use 1.1 million cash to ask Donglai Qian Zhuang to buy this debt, this business, Donglai is willing to do? ”

Steward Mu was taken aback, "You want to deal with Baifu Firm?" ”

Qi Fengwu nodded and said: "There is nothing wrong at all, although this run, Donglai Commercial Bank also has a share, but Qi Ruifu does not want to deal with Donglai Commercial Bank, but Huangfu Qu's means are despicable, and he actually burned Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang in Beishi, Qi Ruifu will never let go of Baifu, now the big ship carrying six million taels of silver is parked on the dock, if Steward Mu is willing to do this business, after an hour, I can arrange for a ship to send the silver, if I don't want to, then I will leave now, just when I don't say anything." ”

Steward Mu bowed his head and said nothing, from his heart, he was very willing, the life or death of Baifu Qian Zhuang was none of his business, as long as there were 11 million taels of silver, it could really solve his urgent need, just like Qi Fengwu said, once there was no money to take, Donglai Qian Zhuang's credit would be over, but he didn't know if King Qi would agree, after all, this time Donglai and Baifu joined forces, it was decided from above, he fell into the well like this, will it affect the relationship above, it is best to get the consent of King Qi's envoy.

Before he could speak, Wu Jin had already guessed his thoughts, so he said lightly: "Steward Mu, don't think about King Qi's envoys, they have all been killed by the prince's people." ”

Steward Mu was shocked, and looked at Wu Jin in disbelief, "Really? ”

"I've already said it, believe it or not."

At this moment, the second steward ran to the door and said in horror: "Grand steward, that Silla man has come to withdraw silver, and he wants to raise 300,000!" ”

Steward Mu knew that this Silla man was referring to the pirate Li Baisha, who had been trading with Donglai Trading House in private, and his silver was stored in Donglai Qianzhuang, so Steward Mu immediately walked out of the conference room and whispered to the second steward: "You let them go to Qizhou to get money, or come back a month later, what are you doing now?" ”

The second steward said urgently: "It was Li Baisha who came in person, he said that he wanted to buy a batch of urgent goods, it is estimated that it is either pig iron or grain, and he will ask for money immediately." ”

As soon as the second steward's voice fell, he heard a rough voice coming, "Can't the dignified Donglai Qianzhuang even take out 300,000 silver?" I'm laughing to death. ”

Steward Mu was startled, only to see a black shadow standing more than a dozen steps away, he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and behind him was the plum blossom guard! He gave the second steward hard, "Why did you bring him here?" ”

"No! He came with him. ”

Steward Mu didn't care about it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "If you have the silver, you will give it immediately!" Please go and rest, I have guests here. ”

The black shadow is another pirate group second only to the Phoenix Society, Li Baisha, the leader of the White Sand Society, although he has always been unscrupulous, but he is not stupid, he suddenly saw the Plum Blossom Guard Sergeant, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, and quickly turned around and said: "Okay!" I took the money and left, I want the silver, not the silver ticket. ”

Steward Mu hurriedly arranged for the second steward to accompany him to fetch the silver, and he returned to the conference room by himself, at this time he had already made up his mind.

He sat down and said to Qi Fengwu: "I can do this business, but I have one condition, ask Qi Ruifu to lend us another two million taels of silver." ”

Qi Fengwu shook his head, "Two million is too much, we have to use it ourselves, up to one and a half million, and it will be calculated at one cent per month." ”

Steward Mu secretly scolded Qi Fengwu for being black-hearted, and the most expensive monthly interest was only half a cent, they actually wanted one point, it was really ruthless, but if they could get these two million and six hundred thousand taels of silver, Donglai Qianzhuang would be able to survive this catastrophe, this money was too important to them, he finally nodded, "Then we will make up our minds, get the silver, and I will immediately give you the creditor's rights and deed." ”

........ The chief steward of Qiao stayed to handle the loan procedures, Wujin and Qi Fengwu left the money village, Qi Fengwu complained to him a little and said: "Son, shouldn't he tell him his true identity, shouldn't he know about the alliance between the Qi family and the Liang Wang family?" ”

Wu Jin smiled: "This can't be hidden, it's already very clear in Jiangning Mansion, they're not stupid, I'm helping the Qi family like this, won't they be able to guess?" ”

"It's just..... Ay! ”

What Qi Fengwu wanted to say was that he shouldn't expose the relationship between them, but she had already admitted it herself just now, and she had nothing to say.

At this time, a Meihuawei sergeant stepped forward and reported: "General, I mentioned the name of Li Baisha when I heard the two stewards talk about the Silla people who mentioned 300,000 taels of silver just now. ”

"Oh?"

Wu Jin immediately became interested, could it be the Baisha Society, they had dealt with each other at the beginning, he saw three boats parked on the small pier not far away, and there were a few black-clothed people standing next to them, it was estimated that this was the people of the Baisha Society, he thought about it, and immediately ordered the three sergeants, "They should be taking money now, take some time, walk a hundred steps east along the small river, there is a public wharf, you can rent a boat over there, you go and rent a boat to keep an eye on them, and report to me at any time if there is a situation." ”

The three sergeants agreed, and immediately ran to rent a boat, Wu Jin took Qi Fengwu into the carriage, and ordered: "Enter Beishi!" ”

The Donglai Qianzhuang where they are now is located is on the square in front of the gate of Beishi, Wujin is very familiar with this place, the carriage entered Beishi, Qi Fengwu looked out of the car window, and asked a little strangely: "Childe, what are we doing in Beishi?" ”

Wu Jin smiled: "I want to buy you a real blue diamond." ”

Qi Fengwu's face flushed, she immediately remembered the last time she bought diamonds, this guy was talking a lot next to her, helping herself identify diamonds, she pouted: "Hmph!" Some people think they know a little bit of jewelry, so they try their best to show off, but don't buy zircon! ”

Wu Jin gently hugged her shoulders, "Where's your personal maid?" Why didn't I see you bring her this time? ”

This time Qi Fengwu didn't say that she wanted to be polite, just now when Wujin hugged her shoulders in Qianzhuang, she actually had a huge sense of dependence, she longed for Wujin to hug her again, at this time she pretended not to notice, and said with a smile: "That dead girl, she happened to be sick on the day she left, so I will let her rest for a day, and then come to Weiyang County to meet me, she is by land, she should arrive today." ”

She glanced back at Wujin again, "Did you really buy me gems?" ”

Wu Jin smiled, "I won't buy the gem today, I'll come here to print a few silver tickets." ”

Qi Fengwu's spirits perked up, she looked at Wu Jin and said hurriedly: "Childe, is the person you are talking about in Beishi?" ”

"What? Your Qi family is interested in him? ”

"Yes, my grandfather told me that we must find this person, and we want to hire him to develop new anti-counterfeiting technology for us."

"Check it out! See if he's willing? ”

Several carriages stopped in front of a narrow alley, and Wu Jin took Qi Fengwu's hand, "Let's go down!" ”

Qi Fengwu shrank his hand in shame, but he didn't break free, and said in a low voice: "Son, you want to be seen by others!" ”

Wu Jin knew that she was thin-skinned, so he let go of her hand and pointed to a small dilapidated door in the alley ahead, "That's it!" ”

He also ordered his subordinates to wait at the entrance of the alley, and he took Qi Fengwu to this Luo Ji printing workshop.

knocked on the door, after a while, the door opened, it was still the thin child, he looked at Wu Jin, as if he was a little familiar, "Uncle, are you looking for my father?" ”

"That's right! Is he there? ”

"Daddy, that uncle came again last time."

Qi Fengwu looked at this courtyard, she never imagined that such a dilapidated courtyard could make a fake silver ticket that was enough to be fake.

At this time, a person walked out of the back room, it was Luo Yu, the craftsman who printed a fake silver ticket for Wujin last time, he saw Wujin at a glance, and he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down: "Xiaomin see His Royal Highness King Heiliang!" ”

Wu Jin was stunned, how could he know? He hurriedly helped Luo Yu up and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Luo is exempt, who told you my current identity?" ”

"It was Heimi who told me, he just came here yesterday."

"Heimi, is he in Viyang County now?"

"It should be there! But he's still leaving in a few days, and he says he's no longer in Viyan County. ”

Wu Jin nodded, Heimi should be on Ryukyu Island, so he pointed at Qi Fengwu and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you, this Miss Qi is the proprietor of Qi Ruifu." ”

Luo Yu's face turned pale with fright, he had been very worried about the fake silver ticket that he had printed for Wujin for one million taels of Qi Dafu last time, and now that the Qi family actually knew about it, could he still save his life?

Wu Jin knew that he was afraid, so he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "It's okay, the silver ticket last time was useless, and today is something else." ”

Luo Yu was frightened, and hurriedly said, "Two of you, please sit in the room!" ”

The two followed him into the room and sat down, Luo Yu poured them two cups of tea, and then asked, "Is there something wrong with Your Highness looking for me?" ”

Qi Fengwu was about to speak, but Wu Jin waved his hand to stop her, he smiled first and asked, "What is Heimi looking for you to do?" ”

Luo Yu sighed and said: "Heimi said that he wanted to invite me to go to sea to do a business, but I didn't agree, my son is still young, I don't want him to go to sea, so he asked me to think about it for two days." ”

Heimi must have taken Luo Yu to Ryukyu Island, this person is a ghost, and Ryukyu Island also needs it, so he asked again: "What about your final decision?" Is it with him? ”

Luo Yu shook his head, "Impossible! ”

He pointed to some of the burdens piled up in the corner of the house, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, I know Heimi very well, if I refuse him, he will definitely kidnap me, I plan to take my son out of Weiyang County tonight, go outside to avoid it first." ”

"It's a coincidence, I'll find you a job to do, and the pay is good, do you want to go?"

Luo Yu glanced at Qi Fengwu, "What does His Highness mean is to let me go to Qi Dafu?" ”

Wu Jin nodded, "Exactly!" ”

Qi Fengwu hurriedly smiled and said: "We Qi Dafu are willing to hire you as a silver ticket technician, specializing in developing anti-counterfeiting technology for silver tickets, and we will give you a reward of 12,000 taels of silver every year, is it okay?" ”

This price made Wu Jin secretly frightened, he didn't expect Qi Dafu to be willing to spend such a big capital, the best printing craftsman outside is only thirty taels of silver a month, Qi Dafu actually gave a thousand taels a month, no wonder Qi Dafu can do great things, regardless of his background, he will not hesitate to hire someone who is really capable, this kind of courage is by no means something that ordinary businessmen can do.

Luo Yu was so excited that his heart trembled, 12,000 taels a year! He can't earn a hundred taels a year in this workshop, why doesn't he do such a good thing, he swallowed his saliva and nodded, "I am willing!" ”

Qi Fengwu was overjoyed, "Then Mr. will come with us now, is it okay?" ”

Luo Yu scratched his head and said, "I have something to clean up, where did the young lady tell me?" I'll be here soon. ”

Wu Jin smiled, walked to the door and shouted, more than a dozen plum blossom guard sergeants ran in, Wu Jin pointed at Luo Yu and said to them: "Go and help this Mr. Luo pack up his things, and then hire two carriages to move." ”

The sergeants agreed, and immediately rolled up their sleeves and went to work.
