Chapter 574: A Gentleman Doesn't Take Favor (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Hearing Lin Yuma's words, "The price is five thousand taels with you", Li You couldn't help but be stunned, reached into his arms with one hand, and touched the silver tickets with the body temperature of two people and a total face value of five thousand taels. I thought in horror, this Lin Pony broke through his bottom in one bite, does he have a clairvoyant eye?
He was full of calculations and only borrowed one vote from Taisheng Coal Shop to add fuel to the coal market, and he didn't want to speculate on stocks and become a shareholder. But in this direction, it is quite tempting to have a ready-made large store.
Taisheng Coal Shop made a wrong bet, and it is almost impossible to mix in the coal merchants, and now it seems that it is just waiting to close its doors. But this is the day to kill him, and the crime of non-war is also, if he is about to change his face today, but others don't know, and Lin Yuma can't see it.
Li You lost to the eunuch, it was because the eldest princess suddenly sat idly by, and today persuaded the eldest princess, of course, the situation will change somewhat. What the change will become, Li You can only say that he will take one step at a time, and he is not sure that it will get better, but it will not be worse.
If the situation can get better after buying this big coal shop that is about to close down, wouldn't it be a big profit?
That being said, but... Li You showed a painful look, he knew that this was the case, so he wouldn't look for Zhu Bulang as an intermediary today, and it would be better to directly think about meeting with Lin Yuma! If only there was no third party present at the moment!
If Zhu Bulang saw him happily and deliberately buy this shop that was about to close down, and then suddenly the wind direction suddenly became prosperous after a while, it was a normal operation from the perspective of a businessman, but what would Zhu Bulang, a scribe friend, think? Taking advantage of people's danger, forgetting one's righteousness, deception and fraud, etc., these hats can't run away.
If no third person is present. You can do whatever you want, and if others don't see it with their own eyes, they won't have any superfluous ideas. An event, seen with one's own eyes and heard by rumors, often has a different impact on people's thinking.
Hearing Lin Yuma's angry request, Zhu Bulang couldn't help frowning secretly, this seemed to be a bit extreme, it was really the eldest young master's temperament.
The business is a matter of loss and profit, how can the responsibility be put on Li You's head. Besides, Li You was also representing the government at the beginning, for official business, not deliberately how to rectify the Taisheng coal shop. Now it's unreasonable to push the mess to Li You.
Zhu Bulang looked sideways at Li You again, and when he saw that Li Daguan was silent, he was very entangled and distressed, so he guessed that Li You was unwilling to take over.
He smiled. Said to Lin Yuma: "Brother Lin Xian, in my opinion." That's not appropriate. You'd better take it back. ”
Li You's heart moved when he heard this, and he hurriedly followed: "This coal shop is just a trough at the moment, and sooner or later it will become prosperous, why should the horse be so depressed." ”
It's okay that Li You didn't speak, but as soon as Li You spoke, Lin Yuma was annoyed for no reason, it was obvious that he had messed up the good shop, and now he was talking about useless cheap words!
Originally, Lin Yuma just vented a few words casually. Now he is more serious, and said coldly to Li You: "Since sooner or later, it will be prosperous." So why don't you buy it? I don't want much, but I'll sell it to you cheaply for five thousand taels of silver." ”
Li You hurriedly said: "A gentleman does not take the favor of others. Think twice and don't act impulsively! ”
It's all pretty words, and when you meet the real character, you retreat! Lin Juma asked while thinking about it: "Who said that he was willing to be responsible, could it be that he was so quick to be untrustworthy?" ”
"Money is something outside the body, Brother Lin Xian don't force people too much like this, and be calm." Zhu Bulang persuaded Lin Yuma.
Li You was speechless when he was questioned by Lin Yuma, and took advantage of Zhu Bulang's persuasion to sigh on the side.
After being persuaded by Zhu Bulang for a few words, Lin Juma only sneered, and sneered at Li You: "Whether it is accurate or not, why don't you speak?" ”
I saw that Li Daguan got up suddenly, his fair face was a little ruddy, he gritted his teeth and took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, slapped them on the table hard, and said loudly: "This is five thousand taels of silver tickets!" Take the horses, I want the coal shop! ”…,
This 5,000 taels is not a small amount, it is equivalent to the income of ordinary people for 200 years, and young people are really impulsive and can't be excited... Zhu Bulang was taken aback. He was about to say something, but when he saw Li You waving his hand at him, he said fiercely: "Brother Zhu, don't persuade me, I have made up my mind!" Lin Pony is not just to scare me! ”
Lin Yuma really didn't expect Li You to carry five thousand taels of silver tickets with him, and he also took a picture on the spot and shouted at him, and he was surprised and suddenly excited.
Who is afraid of whom? He also stood up and shouted outside, "Bring pen and paper!" ”
Seeing that the two sides were getting more and more troublesome, they couldn't persuade or stop them, Zhu Bulang increased his forehead with his hand, and sighed helplessly.
The shopkeeper took a pen and paper, and Lin Yu wrote a contract with three times and five divided by two, and said to Li You: "Do you dare to sign the pledge!" ”
"Why don't you dare!" Li You said categorically, took the pen and wrote his name.
Lin Yuma handed the contract to Zhu Fanghe and said, "Please ask Brother Zhu to be a guarantor!" ”
Zhu Bulang smiled bitterly, "You will regret it after all, and at that time, I will have to invite you together to make peace for my brother." ”
Both parties to the contract and the guarantor have signed it, and they have to be taken to the government to use the seal before it can take effect. Li Youhao said dryly: "The horse can take the silver ticket tonight!" I took the contract and went to Wanping County to stamp it, and you will send it to the Horse Mansion when I turn around! ”
"Then it's a word! When the time comes, I will call someone to give you the title deed of the shop! Lin Yuma said without hesitation.
The three of them said goodbye, and Lin Yuma left proudly. Although he regretted it a little, it was a bit arbitrary to say that the industry for more than ten years would be sold, but if he didn't sell it, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to recover 5,000 taels. Five thousand taels of silver is enough for him to spend a while.
When Zhu Bulang was leaving, he said to Li You: "The horse is a person with a bad temper, what are you messing around with him?" ”
Li You grabbed the contract and replied through gritted teeth: "Although the gentleman does not take the favor of others, the horses are forced to complain to me about their faults, which is unbearable!" I don't believe it, with my own skills, a mere coal shop can still be done! ”
"I know you don't want this store from the bottom of your heart." Zhu Bulang discussed: "But you are still young and vigorous, I heard that you plan to engage in business recently?" I'm afraid that being a businessman and being an official are different. ”
This Li You is not afraid of things as an official, and he is still so unafraid of doing business, he can be an official, but can he do business? He didn't know either.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Li You felt that the contract in his hand was heavy, which added a lot of pressure to himself, and he did not dare to guarantee that he would be 100% successful.
Originally, the political significance of doing that vote of coal was greater than the economic significance, and it was better to succeed, and there was nothing to lose if it could not succeed. Now there is one more half-dead coal shop, if it can't be saved, it is really a burden for throwing five thousand taels of silver in vain.
This kind of thing must be told to Aunt Guan first, and it happens that it will be her turn to sleep there tonight. Li You returned home, asked Menzi if he was okay today, and went to the third room in the backyard.
Guan Xiuxiu was reading the account book under the bright candlelight, and when she saw her husband coming in, she looked up and said happily: "In the past two days, the silver deposit on the counter has increased sharply by more than 83,000 taels, and it is estimated that there will be more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." If you have to have this kind of good thing every time, it would be better to be smashed a few more times. ”
Li You sat next to him, "Now that the news has spread, we all know who is behind the silver horn, how can there be so many people in the world who are really not long-sighted." ”
Guan Xiuxiu suggested to Li You: "In other silver shops, the home and the store are integrated, but we are separated. There is too much silver deposited, and it is all placed in the store, and the concubine always feels that her heart is hanging, and in order to be safe, she should move some of it to the house for safekeeping. ”
Li You feels reasonable, but it may not be feasible, "The place at home is too tight, where can I open another bank?" ”…,
Guan Xiuxiu said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this, you can dig a cellar for storage, and build it under the house, so it's safe." ”
"Then you can try." Li You nodded in agreement and began to talk about tonight's transaction: "I met Lin Juma today, he accused me of breaking his coal shop, and after a few quarrels, I bought his coal shop for five thousand taels of silver. ”
Aunt Guan knew that her husband would not be a person who was willing to suffer, let alone take a huge sum of five thousand taels, but her attention was on the origin of the five thousand taels. "Husband, where did you get the five thousand taels from? Is it a loan? Yesterday you borrowed five thousand debts, and today it is five thousand, and it can't always be like this! ”
"Today it's not borrowed, someone else gave it."
Aunt Guan was puzzled: "Who is so generous?" ”
This is a long story, Li You simply talked about today's events. Guan Xiuxiu said worriedly: "If the husband doesn't do well this time, he will lose a lot." ”
"Then do your best!" Li You yawned, went to bed first, and cultivated himself tonight!
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Li You got up early to wash up and went out to the north. Among the nine gates of the capital, most of the yamen of the imperial court are in the south, and the yamen of Shuntianfu, Daxing County, and Wanping County are all in the north of the imperial city.
In these years, contracts involving shop land must be stamped by the county government before they can take effect and have legal effect.
Because the location of Taisheng Coal Shop is located under the jurisdiction of Wanping County from the administrative division, the contract between Li You and Lin Juma needs to be stamped by the Wanping County Ya, that is, the place where Li You will go out early in the morning.
After spending a little money and quickly using the seal, Li You hurriedly went to the coal market outside Fuchengmen. The coal that Uncle Qian Guo found was said to be in the capital in the afternoon, and the time was very tight, so it had to be arranged in advance.
This is the third time Li You has been to the coal market, the first time as a law enforcement official, the second time as a buyer, and the third time as an owner, and each time his identity is different.
When I arrived at the Taisheng coal shop, it was really depressed, and the entrance to the lobby was not opened. Han Zong stepped forward and slammed the door hard, only to see a guy poke his head out and ask, "Who is it?" ”
Han Zong: "You Master Lin have already sold the shop!" The new owner is here, hurry up and open the door to greet you! ”
From the shopkeeper to the guys inside, I heard that there was a new owner, although I don't know what's going on, but I still open the door.
The shopkeeper Gao took the lead in welcoming him, wanting to meet the so-called new owner, but he was greeted by a face that he would never forget. This is the culprit of the closure of our store, can you not be impressed?
Is he the new owner? The shopkeeper forgot to salute and was stunned and did not move. It's not enough for Lord Li to scourge the store once, is the scourge addictive? (To be continued)
