Xu He really went to borrow a loan shark, and that person was still Xu Yuanzuo's acquaintance.

An Liuye.

The word usury is like a vampire, which makes people feel like "this life is over" when they hear it. Fortunately, An Liuye didn't dare to make a black hand to Xu Yuanzuo, but out of "friendship", he wanted to form a stable and friendly private relationship with Xu Yuanzuo with the help of Xu He. This approach is understandable, and the only way to get a relationship with Xu Yuanzuo is to borrow the private port of Jinshan Island to unload goods. This kind of business exchange is only once or twice a year, and at most I can introduce a friend, which is not very reliable. If you catch Xu He's line, then you can see Xu Yuanzuo "as a matter of course" at any time.

It's a pity that Kan'an Xingshou doesn't know the true relationship between Xu Yuanzuo and Xu He. Although it is a father and son, it is more like an actor who has to play the relationship between father and son. Xu He enjoyed the privileged life provided by Xu Yuanzuo, but at the same time suffered in self-denial. Xu Yuanzuo plays the role of a filial son, and on the other hand, he uses his real father as a reference, and he can't look down on Xu He's behavior no matter what.

As soon as he heard that Xu He had borrowed a loan shark, Xu Yuanzuo's first thought was that someone was marching in a roundabout way and wanted to copy his back road. It wasn't until he heard that it was An Liuye's money that he was a little relieved: it was a business partner, and the most he could do was pay some interest.

So Xu Yuanzuo asked Qi Miao to find An Liuye and make an appointment to meet on a cruise on Dianshan Lake.

When An Liuye received this letter, he inevitably recalled the "black master" in his heart. He is confident that the black hand is not weaker than others, but every time he thinks of Xu Yuanzuo's indifferent look, he still can't help but feel cold. So he also found a big boat and brought enough of his subordinates, but he really didn't have the courage to go to the banquet alone.

Xu Yuanzuo was really not a violent element, so he only asked Luo Zhenquan to bring ten guards, just like the standard for going out on weekdays, and he didn't bring more people.

An Liuye got on Xu Yuanzuo's ship. Seeing Xu Yuanzuo so simple, he couldn't help but secretly say: I have been defeated for a while before we met, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and the front waves dying on the beach. Fortunately, only Niu Dali and the two elders went on the boat with him, and he was not too embarrassed.

Xu Yuanzuo may not have seen Niu Dali for a long time. I just think that this neighbor is tall and rugged now, and he is not a good person at first glance. This is really in response to the old saying that the body is migrated and the body is nourished. It seems that Niu Dali is going to go dark on this road.

Niu Dali saw Xu Yuanzuo, and he didn't remember how he talked to him that day, as if it was normal to be low-spirited, he stood behind his uncle obediently, and he didn't even dare to say hello with his eyebrows down.

Xu Yuanzuo invited Sixth Master An to sit down, and when he saw Niu Dali's humble appearance, he didn't ask him to sit down, so as not to embarrass him.

"Xu Xianggong invited me today, I don't know what's going on?" An Liuye opened his mouth first.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "I heard that my father asked the sixth master to borrow some silver. The student was about to ask for advice on what to say. ”

An Liuye pretended to be generous and said: "Why should the prime minister be so outside!" Ling Zun was in the scene for a while, and it happened that my nephew was there, how could he pretend that he didn't see it? Due to the rules of our industry, the interest is always required, so a profit is set, and when I remember it, I will pay it back, and if I can't remember, forget it. ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded slightly. understood An Liuye's hard work. In this day and age, as long as there is spare money, it will inevitably be used to lend. Even the monks and Taoists in the temple are not exempt from vulgarity. Generally, the interest rate of large families lending to their tenants is three cents, which belongs to the compassion of doing good deeds, and some places in Suzhou even charge 50% annual interest. Even though the law stipulates that the interest cannot exceed half of the principal amount and cannot be compounded, the practice of usury among the people is not restricted in the slightest.

An Liuye only takes one cent of profit, which is indeed no different from giving it away for nothing.

"I'm a person. Debts must be paid. Xu Yuanzuo said: "How much do you owe now, I will give it to you." ”

"Xu Xianggong is too polite." An Liuye waved his hand and said, "What is this bit of silver?" ”

"It's because it's nothing." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "In the future, there is a place to ask the sixth master, so I can speak." ”

An Liuye ordered Niu to go and get an IOU. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to return it to Xu Yuanzuo, otherwise wouldn't it be a good deed for nothing?

Niu Dali not only took the IOU, but also brought a few boxes over. Xu Yuanzuo was puzzled. Niu Dali had already opened the box, but it was a Xuande furnace, a blue and white water droplet, and a piece of mutton fat jade turtle handle.

These three things are all small objects collected by Xu Yuanzuo, among which the Xuande furnace was made in Jiajing, and the Yunnan refined copper was used, which was to imitate the "Xuanlu". Even in the present, it is a very valuable object, not to mention that it will be worth ten thousand times in the future. Blue and white water droplets are Jingdezhen's boutiques, Xu Yuanzuo used it for a while, and then saw a new one, and thought this was beaten, and didn't ask much, who knew that they met again here. As for the turtle handle of the mutton fat jade, it is carved from the high-grade seed material by the high-grade Su Gong - the Ming people play jade heavy industry is not heavy material, and it can be described as the best when encountering such good work and good materials. Xu Yuanzuo spent six hundred taels of silver to get it.

Xu Yuanzuo's face immediately turned bad.

"This is what Ling Zunna is saying is to pay off his debts. I can see that these things must have been collected by Ling Zun with his heart, how can they be sold cheaply? Today, please ask Xu Xianggong to bring it back and return it to Ling Zun. An Liuye said.

Xu Yuanzuo said secretly: If it is rumored that Lao Tzu stole his son's things, it will be really embarrassing.

"Thank you. But the silver still has to be made up. Xu Yuanzuo said.

"Between you and me, talk about these mundane things." An Liuye smiled: "I also want to ask Xu Xianggong to collect more silver." ”

Xu Yuanzuo heard what was in the words, but he didn't answer.

An Liuye had no choice but to say: "I have been in business for a long time, and I have also bought a few inns, and I want to join Xu Xianggong's subordinates." ”

Xu Yuanzuo let out an "oh", as if he understood, and as if he didn't understand, he asked, "Vote for me?" ”

An Liuye was a little embarrassed and said, "Exactly." Dedicated to Xu Xianggong. ”

Xu Yuanzuo casually took the turtle handle, held it in his hand and rubbed it gently, and said: "There are two kinds of contributions, real and false." What does the sixth master think? ”

An Liuye was stunned: "Dare to ask how the actual investment is, and how the false investment is." ”

"If you actually vote, I will take it down politely. In the future, these industries have nothing to do with you, they are all mine. Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "If you make a false investment, you will hang my name and share it every month." If you are in trouble, you will naturally take the Xu family's film to the official. ”

An Liuye said secretly: Heh, is there really a fool in this world who will actually vote?

"Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, but you want to cast falsely." An Liuye said: "It's just that this is divided into ......"

Xu Yuanzuo raised his hand: "Sixth master, slow down." ”

"Huh?"

"Even if I have nine and one of you, I will not agree." Xu Yuanzuo said.

- You kid entertain me!

An Liuye was unhappy in his heart, but his face was full of smiles: "Xu Xianggong." What do you mean by that? ”

"Now the land tax and commercial tax in Huating County are all collected by Renshoutang, and even the acres of land in Xufu Benzong are paying taxes, and the accounts must be checked for the same purchase. If you give me a false vote, this tax will not be avoided either. This is one of them. Xu Yuanzuo raised two fingers: "I'm not a shallow person, I wipe someone's butt with a hundred and ten taels of silver, I can't do this kind of thing." The Xu family is even more of a face-saving person, and will never agree. This is the second one. ”

An Liuye's brows were squeezed together: "Look, I originally wanted to invest in your door and mix some dividends...... Who doesn't know that you're in business. A little fingering can turn stones into gold......"

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "If you really just want money, it's easy to say." ”

"It's really just asking for money!"

"That's it." Xu Yuanzuo said.

"Join?"

"You give the Xu family a sum of silver, which is counted as a franchise fee, so you can use the signboard of 'Youjia Inn'. As for the commercial tax payable, it must be paid as well. ”

"Divide it?"

"There is no share, and you are responsible for your own profits and losses."

An Liuye almost couldn't believe such a good thing: "Isn't this, isn't it...... Too embarrassed? ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "The words are in front: first, the franchise fee is one thousand taels, and it cannot be less; Second. From the shopkeeper to the guy, he got the 'Youjia Inn' to be trained. The training fee is fifty taels per person, and only after passing the assessment can you work on the counter; Third, once a month, routine inspections, irregular flight inspections, if the points are deducted to a certain extent because they do not meet the norms and standards, they will be kicked out immediately. The franchise fee is also non-refundable. ”

An Liuye hesitated a little, for fear that he would spend a lot of money and be kicked out in the end, and all the silver would be wasted? If someone tells him this, he will not be hit by a big ear scraper. But the ...... in front of him

"Of course, it's not that you can do it, you can't say you can't." Xu Yuanzuo said: "The scoring has its own standards, how many points to deduct, I have a charter, and I will teach you in advance." If they slack off in the future and smash my signboard, you can't blame me for not being righteous, right? ”

An Liuye was a little relieved and said, "If that's the case, I'm willing to try." ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to the business couch to contact you about this matter." Where do you see convenience? ”

"It's in your store, there's an inn." An Liuye said with a smile: "The businessmen who come and go to the business couch now, if they don't talk about business at an inn, it's like a single gang." ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that you can check the manager of the store when you go back, and if the reserve force is enough, you can be promoted. Well, yes, Chen Yizhi was promoted from the business couch shop, and this kid has a very good set of training reserve forces. That's what he had to do.

An Liuye finalized the white road business of the business couch, and after a few gossips, seeing Xu Yuanzuo's lack of interest, he wanted to leave. Xu Yuanzuo didn't stay, but said, "Brother Niu, wait a minute, I have a few words to say to you." ”

Niu was startled, shuddered, and said, "Xu Xianggong, what do you command?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled and did not speak. An Liuye said as he walked out: "Vigorously, carefully handle Xu Xianggong's errand." He said to Xu Yuanzuo again: "Xu Xianggong just tell him if he has anything." My nephew has no other ability than to be obedient. ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "I grew up together since I was a child, I know. ”

Niu Dali does not have this kind of awareness, and he is still inevitably a little restrained.

Xu Yuanzuo and the others left, motioned for Niu Dali to sit down, and said, "Brother Niu, what else should I know about my father's gambling stall?" ”

Niu Dali thought for a while and said, "Actually, my uncle occasionally goes over to play with two hands...... It's not a big bet. ”

Xu Yuanzuo's eyes swept over the debts on the table, obviously not believing. Although Xu He can't support the wall with a little mud, he still has a basic vision, would he use luxury goods worth hundreds of taels to offset dozens of taels of gambling debts?

"Gambling is one thing, my uncle still has a good fan over there......"

Xu Yuanzuo's hand trembled. He's not innocent in the daytime, and he hasn't seen anything in society? Especially for businessmen, acting on the spot is only a basic skill. But Xu He is no longer in business, and naturally there is no need to act on the spot. Although in the current social environment, it is not a big sin for a man to mess with flowers and grass outside, Xu Yuanzuo still resists Xu He's disloyalty to his mother.

"What kind of gambling stall is this, and why are there fans in it?" Xu Yuanzuo frowned.

Niu Dali said: "Actually, it's not a big gambling stall, it's a private family in Sijing." ”

Xu Yuanzuo knew that the private door was a private nest, and when he heard that it was in Sijing, his brows couldn't help frowning. Sijing Town is also an important town in Huating, and the main road for commercial goods to come and go. However, this town is in the northeast of the county seat, and it is not currently under his control, and even the collection of taxes cannot be collected in Sijing. It seems that Xu He also put his heart into finding this place.

"There is a famous ** in Sijing, people call her sister-in-law, Xu Du secretly prostitutes borrow her house to settle down, and there are many regular customers in the merchants. Her house is a courtyard with three entrances, the first one only sells food, the second one is a gambling stall, and the third one is the place where those secret prostitutes do business. Niu Dali obviously knows a lot.

Xu Yuanzuo nodded: "Isn't this kind of place going to be offered to you?" ”

Niu Dali smiled awkwardly: "I've stepped on the plate a few times - that's why I ran into my uncle." However, the more I visited, the more weak I became, and I was afraid that I would not be able to take it. He said: "Many people in the county have benefited from this sister-in-law, and several bookstores in the torture room are also frequent visitors there. ”

Xu Yuanzuo looked back and said, "Lao Luo, is it difficult to arrest people in this kind of place?" ”

Luo Zhenquan said: "It is naturally not difficult to catch only one. ”

"More than one." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Luo Zhenquan knew that the deal was coming, and grinned: "Then I have to go and see it to know." ”

Xu Yuanzuo snorted vigorously at the cow: "The guide is here." I only have one request, my dad and sister-in-law, and the fan head must be present. ”

Niu Dali was a little timid: "Brother, brother, if you give me a piece, sister-in-law Ai won't dare to do her uncle's business......"

"That's a palliative treatment, not a cure, Huating can't play, he won't go to Shanghai? Songjiang can't play, he won't go to Suzhou? Xu Yuanzuo shook his head and said: "I can't always follow him behind to help him cook, I still have to solve this problem once and for all." ”

This time, even Luo Zhenquan shuddered.
