"Miss, Cao Cao, no, Cheng Gongzi asks to see you." Xiao Cui said with a grin, and at the same time winked at Xie Sicun behind Cheng Zhong's back.

In front of Cheng Zhong, Xie Sicun couldn't reprimand her, so he could only stare helplessly and said, "Please." ”

Only then did Cheng Zhong walk in front of Xie Sicun and salute: "Cheng Zhong has seen Miss Xie." ”

"Cheng Gongzi, please sit down, Xiaocui serves tea." Xie Si returned a salute.

Cheng Zhong sat down slowly, and at the same time, his heart was quickly summing up: how to persuade Xie Sicun to agree to borrow money? He has a friendship with Xie Jiangbo, but in the face of Xie Sicun, Cheng Zhong really has no bottom in his heart.

At the same time, Xie Sicun was also speculating about the reason why Cheng Zhong suddenly came to the door.

"Miss Xie should have heard about the county government's implementation of a whip law, right?" Cheng Zhong said.

Xie Sicun nodded, but he didn't speak, just looked at Cheng Zhong with a pair of seconds, it turned out that he had been busy with the affairs of the county government in the past two days. Could it be that the storyteller and the drama announcing the new tax system came from him? Well! In all likelihood, he always had many novel ideas.

"Miss Xie is far-sighted, and she must understand that this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." Cheng Zhong was going to put a high hat on Xie Sicun. But who is Xie Sicun? waved his hand and said: "Cheng Gongzi has won the award, Sicun is just a female streamer and doesn't care about national affairs." ”

At the same time, Xie Sicun already had some guesses about Cheng Zhong's thoughts. It seems that Cheng Zhong came here to ask for help from himself. I just don't understand why he didn't ask his father for help and asked for help for himself. She didn't expect that Cheng Zhong was kicked over like a ball by his father.

It's not that Xie Mengting didn't want to pay this money, he was prodden by Xie Jiangbo and gave Cheng Zhong and Xie Sicunchuang the opportunity to get in touch.

Cheng Zhong sighed, understanding that Xie Sicun was not a simple master, and I was afraid that he would not be able to convince her just by taking the country's righteousness.

Cheng Zhong paused and said, "Miss Xie, Cheng wants to borrow a sum of money from you. ”

"Borrow money?" Xie Sicun raised his eyebrows and said, "Sicun is lonely and unheard, and it is the first time I have heard someone say that borrowing money is so reasonable. ”

Cheng Zhong smiled bitterly, "Miss Xie, listen to me-"

Cheng Zhong did not hide it, so he told the reason for the discussion with Hai Rui before.

Xie Sicun smiled and said: "Sicun is still the same sentence, the little woman doesn't care about national affairs. ”

Cheng Zhong knew very well that in the same sentence, Xie Sicun just said that he wanted to find out his intentions, but now he said it to talk about the conditions.

"Miss doesn't care, but maybe the Xie family doesn't care either." Cheng Zhong said.

"Oh?" Xie Sicun's face was full of smiles, but his mouth was not relaxed, although Cheng Zhong had two lifetimes of experience, and his age was more than twice that of Xie Sicun, but when it came to business negotiation experience, Cheng Zhong did not have any experience. But fortunately, Cheng Zhong is self-aware, and he didn't think about competing with Xie Sicun in this aspect.

"Miss Xie, you also know that this money must have a source, and the yamen's tax rate for business can be one out of thirty or one out of twenty, such a simple reason Miss Xie won't be unclear, right?" Cheng Zhong said.

He said this is pure bluff, this tax rate has already been set, not to mention him Cheng Zhong, even Hai Rui and Xu Jie have no right to change it.

Xie Sicun smiled slightly: "The tax rate is a matter for Cheng Gongzi and Lord Hai, Sicun has no way to put his beak, how much others pay, the Xie family will pay, there will be no penny, of course, there will be no more." ”

The meaning of Xie Sicun's words is obvious, don't bluff here, if you really want to raise the tax rate, you will definitely be opposed and resisted. If the implementation of a whip law is unanimously opposed by the gentry, it will certainly not be enforced. Although there are not many of these people, their influence is very great. It is precisely because Xie Sicun sees this clearly that he is so fearless.

Cheng Zhong was deflated for a while, this Xie Sicun didn't eat his own threat at all.

"Miss Xie, you are extremely smart, you can't hide anything Cheng said from you, you also know Cheng's intention, I want to hear what Miss Xie means." Cheng Zhong said.

Xie Sicun doesn't eat "praise", second, he is not easy to be fooled, third, he is not afraid of intimidation, Cheng Zhong is really a little skilled, rather than trying his best to persuade her, it is better to listen to her ideas and conditions first, and then reason.

"What? Cheng Gongzi is not ready to convince Sicun anymore? Xie Sicun said with a smile.

Cheng Zhong smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "If you can't catch it, you won't be ugly." ”

The smile on Xie Sicun's face became even thicker—you know best! Cheng Zhong's bowing his head and admitting defeat made Xie Sicun subconsciously feel a trace of pride.

"I don't know how much Cheng Gongzi wants to borrow?" Xie Sicun asked.

Cheng Zhong stretched out a finger.

"One hundred taels?" Xie Sicun asked.

Cheng Zhong shook his head.

Xie Sicun's eyebrows raised again, "Could it be a thousand taels?" Cheng Gongzi's mouth is a little wider, right? ”

But he didn't expect Cheng Zhong to shake his head again: "It's 10,000 taels!" ”

Burst! Xiao Cui, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, didn't swallow a mouthful of saliva, choked in her throat, and coughed.

"Isn't it too much?" Cheng Zhong asked embarrassedly.

"What do you say?" Xie Sicun glanced at him, full of charm.

"It seems like a lot." Cheng Zhong said: "But Cheng is really forced to do so, and I also ask Miss Xie to be generous, and Cheng will thank Miss on behalf of his teacher and the people of the county." If Miss thinks it's too much, how about lending Cheng a thousand taels first? ”

Cheng Zhong originally wanted to borrow 1,000 taels, but the reason why he shouted the high price of 10,000 taels was to manage Xie Sicun's expectations. In this way, although Xie Sicun felt that Cheng Zhong was open at first, he didn't feel that it was more than a thousand taels now.

"Let's not talk about how much." Xie Sicun said: "Sicun wants to ask when Cheng Gongzi is going to return this money?" What is the interest rate? ”

Cheng Zhong didn't think about these questions, but he was really difficult to answer.

"Miss Xie, this money will definitely be returned to Cheng as much as possible, as for the interest, how much does Miss Xie think is appropriate?" Cheng Zhong said.

"Sicun has one last question: how is this money returned by Cheng Gongzi?" Xie Sicun asked again.

"Of course, it will be returned by the county treasury?" Cheng Zhong said.

Xie Sicun sneered and said, "The county treasury? Cheng Gongzi won't be joking, right? If there is still money left in the county treasury, why should Cheng Gongzi turn to the Xie family for help? Since there is no surplus money in the county treasury, where does Cheng Gongzi's arrears come from? ”

What Xie Sicun said is indeed a problem. All the taxes and silver of the county government have to be handed over to the imperial court, and Hai Rui does not collect grain and fire consumption, and the county government is a passing god of wealth, worthy of the name of the Qingshui Yamen, there is no money to make money at all, and there is no money to pay the extra servants.

Cheng Zhong was speechless for a while.

"In this way, Cheng Gongzi didn't think about returning it at all?" Xie Sicun changed color and said: "Then why do you say 'borrow'? It should be said that 'robbery' is more appropriate, right? ”

"Cheng Gongzi is not very kind to do this, right?" Xie Sicun's voice gradually increased: "My Xie family's property is all accumulated by the hard work of my ancestors, there is no stealing, no robbery, and no breaking the law, I want to ask Cheng Gongzi, why do you think my Xie family should pay this silver?" ”

Although he didn't have much contact with Cheng Zhong, Xie Sicun could also feel that Cheng Zhong was not the kind of person who did things that he was not sure about, and if he came to him today if he only had this Cheng Dù, not only would he not be able to convince Xie Sicun, but he would also make her feel disdainful. What's the difference between him and those nerds?

"Xiao Cui, send off!" Xie Sicun saw that Cheng Zhong was silent, and suddenly stood up and said.
