275 New Year's Eve in a foreign land
"I don't know what kind of discount the thousand households want?" Fan Yongdou said with a smile.
For businessmen, harmony can make money, Fan Yongdou believes in this truth, so even if he is rich, he treats people and things politely, because the people he faces are people who can bring him benefits, of course, those who oppose him and make him unable to be angry make him secretly miserable.
Either never turn over or be silent forever.
Lu Haosheng didn't turn around anymore, and said directly: "In terms of profit, it doesn't take too much, it's okay to have a seven-fold discount, and if you don't want to be more preferential, Lu has a small requirement, that is, the loan time should be longer." ”
"Please tell me more about it."
"It's very simple, borrow 300,000 taels of silver, the interest rate is seven folds, the deadline is six years, the repayment period is not yet reached, I only pay the interest every year, so as not to roll the interest, and the interest of the first five years can be deducted from the principal first, I don't know what Squire Fan wants?"
Deduct five years of profit at once, so that small money comes in and big money comes in, which reduces the risk, and in fact, the risk is also very low, there is a mortgage and a guarantee, and the one in front of him is still a five-grade official, which official doesn't care about feathers? Unless he is stupid, he doesn't want a future.
The most important point is that this Lu Qianhu holds the gateway to Sichuan, and faintly controls the financial road of tea and horse trading, even if he is not on it for a while, there is something worth using for himself, and there is another point, Lu Haoshan is generous when he exterminates the mud, and the imperial court has also commended his merits, when Fan Yongdou collected intelligence for Houjin, Lu Haoshan also entered his sight, and he has a certain understanding of him, knowing that Lu Haoshan is the henchman of Han Wendeng, the new commander of Sichuan.
This alone is worth more than 300,000 taels.
"Since Lord Qianhu is so refreshing, then Fan Mou can't be stingy" Fan Yongdou said simply: "When you receive Zhao Lao's guarantee documents, the villain will put the silver when he wants, Lord Qianhu, let's do it." ”
Since I can't ask for more benefits for myself. It's better to simply leave a good impression on others, knowing the relationship between Zhao Yuqing and Lu Haoshan, even if you are much more respectful to Zhao Yuqing.
"A Gentleman's Word"
"It's hard to chase a horse!"
After speaking, the two glanced at each other, and then laughed very tacitly, this business is completed.
After negotiating the conditions, the two said some polite words, and Lu Haoshan excused himself to something and politely rejected Fan Yongdou's kindness to stay for dinner. took Tang Qiang, Zhao Gongchang and others and left with a swagger.
"Haha, that's right, the four wastes brought me more than 400,000 taels of income, let's go, go back and celebrate." This was the first thing Lu Haoshan said after leaving Fan's Mansion.
I was going to be satisfied with a hundred and eighty thousand, but I didn't expect that Fan Yongdou, the old thief, in order to curry favor with Lu Haoshan, would make a move of 180,000 taels, which is really worthy of being one of the best Jin merchants, and it is several times thicker for others to pluck the hairs. So Lu Haoshan's "plan" also rose.
After today, it is the sixth year of Chongzhen, and in another six years, I don't know what the chaos will become. Want to pay it back yourself? It's even more difficult than climbing to the sky, and in another six years, Fan Yongdou will not be able to negotiate with Lu Haoshan.
In another six years, I will already be strong.
"Uncle Clan. Uncle, I didn't say it, I really didn't say it. "When Lu Haoshan left. did not take Fan Qiang and the others away, but left it to Fan Yongdou to deal with, and when Lu Haoshan and the others left, seeing Fan Yongdou who had sent Lu Haoshan out of the house came back, Fan Qiang immediately cried with a handful of snot and tears.
It's just snowing in June, and I can't be wronged anymore.
Fan Yongdou's smile like a laughing Buddha just now was long gone, I saw that his face sank like water, he didn't pay attention to Fan Qiang's crying, and sat back to the upper position, at this time, the big butler had already changed the teacup for him and added new tea, Fan Yongdou took two sips of good tea casually, and then his face changed, and he said kindly: "Oh, yes? ”
"Uncle, really" Fan Qiang's face turned blue with fright, his character and Dao Fan Yongdou, the more amiable he was on the surface, the more angry he was in his heart, on the contrary, when he scolded you, it was when he was in a good mood, and hurriedly cried and explained:
"Uncle, that's the case, my nephew wanted to commit suicide but didn't commit suicide, I really couldn't stand the torture before I confessed, but I just confessed my identity, and I didn't say anything about having dealings with foreign tribes.
In order to survive, even a poisonous oath was made.
It's a pity that this qiē didn't have any effect, Fan Yongdou turned his head to look at the three trembling subordinates, and said lightly: "What your young master said, but it's true?" ”
The three of them looked at each other, and one of the bolder subordinates said cautiously: "Don't dare to deceive the adults, when those people interrogated, they separated us, so what did Young Master Qiang say, the little one...... The little ones don't know. ”
Fan Qiang hopes that these subordinates will excuse him, but Fan Yongdou's aura is too big, these subordinates don't dare to take a breath even in front of him, where do they dare to lie for him?
"Very good" Fan Yongdou said as he put down the blue and white teacup in his hand, and there was a kind smile on his chubby face.
As soon as he saw the smile on Fan Yongdou's mouth, Fan Qiang's pupils dilated suddenly, as if he had seen something terrible, his face was blue, his lips were white, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't care about his current big ties, so he crawled to Fan Yongdou in front of him, crying and shouting: "Uncle, uncle, I know, give me a chance, give me another chance, I will definitely atone for my sins, uncle, please." ”
With a "bang", Fan Yongdou kicked him away as if he was kicking garbage, and said expressionlessly: "Hey, why don't you die, so that your family won't suffer with it, if everyone can have a chance if they do something wrong, then what do you need to do with family rules?" ”
Rules? Affecting your family?
Before Fan Qiang could react, the big housekeeper on the side said, "Come on, drag these four down, and the family law will deal with them." ”
As the chief housekeeper of the Fan Mansion, if he couldn't hear this, he would have gone home a long time ago, in fact, not only Fan Yongdou didn't believe that Fan Qiang didn't leak the secret, but even Fan Fu didn't believe it, otherwise, such a confidential matter, the local government has been hiding it for so many years, and a foreigner knows it so clearly, someone must have leaked the secret.
Jiexiu Fan's family business is also big, so many children, if they do something wrong and are not punished, how will they manage it in the future?
As soon as the chief housekeeper gave the order, several big men rushed in, and they couldn't help but drag out the four guys who were crying and shouting, according to the family law, they were guilty of betraying the family, in addition to beating them to death with sticks, even their relatives would also be implicated......
"Master, this little Qianhu is too arrogant, if you don't teach him a lesson? Kill them all like you would the King of Troubled Times. After Fan Qiang and the others couldn't hear their begs for mercy, Fan Fu said cautiously.
"Don't act rashly, since this little Qianhu dares to come, he must have something to rely on in his hands, and there will be endless troubles after fighting snakes without dying, I heard that he has an elite soldier under him, and I knew from his guards just now that this person is not simple." Fan Yongdou said lightly.
Fan Fu said with some resentment: "But master, more than 400,000 silver, so he is cheaper?" ”
"Wrong, it's 180,000" Fan Yongdou said with a straight face: "The 300,000 is a loan silver, and if you owe it, you have to pay it back, if you dare not pay back my silver, even the stone has to squeeze it out of oil, the 180,000 taels are the money to buy your life, this money can't be saved, but if he wants to eat my silver for nothing, I'm afraid it's not easy, we will get the silver back sooner or later." ”
"That ......"
"It's an eventful time, it's better to be still than to be still, so let's wait first." Fan Yongdou picked up the teacup and drank the tea leisurely, as if the qiē just now was as simple as a child's hide-and-seek for him.
For a person who has been on the edge of the knife for most of his life, a strong inner silence is the first element of survival, because sometimes a small mistake can lead to a catastrophe.
Although the matter was pressed down, and the Fan family "escaped" a calamity, but this kind of thing happened in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, especially the random beating of four people at once, and several families dragged their families to be expelled, these negative news are like a haze, driving away most of the festive atmosphere of the Fan family's New Year, and it is estimated that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not a good taste.
The people of the Fan family didn't eat well, but in the temporary camp of the Sichuan soldiers, it was brightly lit and laughter was endless.
The windfall of 180,000 yuan, Lu Haoshan immediately raised 30,000 taels, as a welfare distribution, that is, the husband and wife all share a share, it can be said that everyone has a share and will never fall short, the least can also take ten taels, those who are outstanding on the battlefield and have many military achievements, take more, and get the news that Lu Haoshan annihilated the king of the troubled world, the prefect of Pingyang led a group of squires and clan elders, carrying pigs and sheep, and holding fine wine to pay tribute, and those New Year's goods sent can be said to be piled up, which allows Lu Haoshan and his subordinates to spend the New Year happily.
There is less relatives in the same lineage, but there are more brothers who live and die together, but they are not lonely, and when they go out, everyone is ready to spend the New Year in the field, and then raise so many flying pigeons is not used for decoration, Jiangyou, Guangyuan to Sichuan has formed an air communication "avenue", the information sent from Jiangyou, if there is no accident, can fall into the hands of Lu Haoshan in less than three days, while carrying intelligence, some letters will also be transmitted, although they are separated by two places, but what is going on at home, the soldiers who are out of the expedition still know.
According to the usual practice, Lu Haoshan's tent is set up in the center of the camp, in the spacious tent, Lu Haoshan, Tang Qiang, Zhao Qiangchang, Li Dingguo, Dashan, Sun Xiong and a group of more than 10 people, are sitting in a circle, the simple table, there are chickens, ducks, fish, meat and other things, in addition to eating, but also put a few jars of good wine, these are sent by the prefect of Pingyang and those squires, Lu Haoshan borrowed flowers to worship the Buddha, invited the big and small hearts in the team, and ate the New Year's dinner together.
By the way, it catches people's hearts. (To be continued......)
