005 Difficult task
I heard that the Jinyu family still has a little money, and the shopkeeper Yuan can be regarded as an acquaintance, and the bones are not cold, everyone nodded, sold Liu Yuan a face, ran to the table next to him, and began to register.
In Liu Yuan's words, there is no proof of death, even if you repay the money, you have to verify it one by one.
This statement is also recognized by everyone, and they have handed over the IOUs, IOUs to Liu Yuan to check the authenticity, and then register them one by one as a voucher or something.
Chen Ji shop 150 taels
Chen Lee's Tea Shop 36 taels
The owner of the butcher shop, Niu Dachun, 3 runs and 18 articles
50 taels outside the week
Sun Laocai 30 taels......
Liu Yuan was taken aback by these numbers, and the bits and pieces added up, and his "good master" and Xiaoniang's good father owed nearly five hundred taels together.
What is the concept of five hundred taels, the income of a small tea stall on the roadside, a sugar water shop, a small restaurant, and a small restaurant is about 10 taels a month, and when you are a child in a medium-sized inn, the salary of a month is about 2 taels, and the silver cost of a family of four for a month is only about 5 taels, and buying a Peugeot's little maidservant is about fifteen taels.
Five hundred taels, that is, Liu Yuan and Xiaoniang to be the second child, it will take more than ten years to repay the money without eating or drinking, and they must not eat or drink in the middle, they can't get sick, and they can't be deducted money.
No wonder Shopkeeper Yuan has been in such a bad temper recently, he turned out to be insolvent early in the morning, and he was tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall early in the morning.
The most hateful thing is that this is the situation, he still doesn't forget to enjoy, eat well, wear well, even tea is not expensive to buy, borrowed, and many of them are nine out of thirteen return to the interest of the Indian money, is it possible, he has been ready to run away early in the morning?
Liu Yuan twisted and looked at the coffin placed in the center of the store, and secretly thought in his heart: You are good, you will be a hundred when you die, do you know Lu Dao, you left this mess, how can you clean up your little lady?
Everyone didn't know how much money the shopkeeper owed in total, and when the result came out, everyone gasped and was taken aback.
"Boy, you have also counted the money, and you have checked the IOUs one by one, there is no problem, there is no problem, then pay back the money." Zhang Laocai, who put the money in the print, knocked on the table and looked at it with a sinister expression.
Looking at him, it seems that he can't get the money, so he immediately takes the person and sells it.
"Yes, now that the check is clear, you can pay it back."
"The rent should be paid, if you don't pay it, get out of the house for me immediately."
"It's okay to pay back my money, it's also profitable, and it's a good thing for you to pay it back early."
"If I don't pay back the money, I'll ask someone to move the things here, and what to move."
As soon as the check was completed, they began to ask for money one by one.
The little lady on the side has closed her eyes, five hundred taels, for herself, that is definitely a huge amount, let alone five hundred taels, now it is fifty taels or even five taels It is difficult to take out.
Five hundred taels is enough for a family of four to have enough food and clothing for almost ten years, so how can two children who are only twelve or thirteen years old get it.
According to what you say, you can not get any money, everything is fake.
Silver is the truest of all.
Everyone is mixed here, most of them know themselves and their opponents, and the foundation of the Jinyu family has long been figured out by these people, and when it comes to repaying the money, there is no discussion.
If it were someone else, he would have been panicked a long time ago, but Liu Yuan said very calmly:
"Shopkeeper Chen, our Jinyu family owes you 150 taels to Chen Ji Firm, right?"
Shopkeeper Chen touched the beard on his chin, nodded and said, "That's right, it's one hundred and fifty taels, what's the matter, young man, are you going to pay it back now?" ”
Liu Yuan smiled and said: "That's not true, but I remember that the master inadvertently said that this is the end of the month, and now there are seven or eight days before the end of the month, and he is chasing after him for money, which is a bit unkind." ”
"But ~~~"
"Our Jinyu family has also gone through a lot of hardships, but all of you here, have we ever lost a letter? No, in the past, my shopkeeper also helped you tide over the difficulties, otherwise, I don't know if there is Chen Ji, Chen shopkeeper, you can rest assured, when it expires, I will settle with you. Liu Yuan interrupted him and swore an oath.
In front of the dead man, thinking about the previous kindness, Shopkeeper Chen bit his lip, nodded and said: "Okay, for the sake of the previous kindness, then I will believe you once, and if you don't pay it back after the expiration, I will report to the official immediately, you be careful of eating money and silver lawsuits." ”
After saying that, he walked straight away.
The little lady was overjoyed, and the biggest creditor left first.
Seeing that Zhou Yuanwai was about to speak, Liu Yuan immediately rushed to say: "Zhou Yuanwai, the old rich man Sun, I know that my shopkeeper borrowed money from you, and the debt is repaid, and it is natural and righteous, and I have nothing to say, but I read the IOU, and now it is not yet the date of repayment, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the country and the people are safe, everything has an example to follow, and there is a law to follow, this is written in black and white, and it has not yet reached the day of repaying the silver. ”
Liu Yuan's words scared the two guys who put the money in the seal so much that their faces turned white, didn't they just urge you to pay back the silver, and you need to be involved with the emperor? If you are not careful, it is a big crime of violating the imperial power and destroying the family.
"That~~ Don't say it so seriously, in fact, we are here to send Brother Yuan today." Zhou Yuanwai said with a smile.
"That's it, that's it, we are well-known for our credit, since it hasn't expired yet, let's say it's due, my share will expire in five days, and it's not bad that day, I'll wait for Brother Yuan to pass the first seven, I'll give you three more days, and I'll come back in seven days." Zhang Laocai also said generously.
Zhou Yuanwai also nodded and said, "Me too, then wait for the first seven, let's visit again, see you again!" ”
After speaking, the two bowed to the mourning hall and left.
As a local snake who puts money in print, who doesn't have a bunch of thugs in captivity, just send two people to guard it, anyway, they are usually idle and panicked, two children, where can they run? More is better than less, and it is better to go first.
Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, there were two fewer debt collectors.
"Boy, those just now are not dated, so what about mine? Can you tie it out now? It was a man with a long beard who spoke, and Liu Yuan recognized this person as the shopkeeper of Zhang Kee's shop.
"My meat money, your shopkeeper said, you can settle it at any time, now you can."
Even Chen Li from the tea shop shouted: "What about my tea money, everyone knows that my shopkeeper is a medicine jar, and he can't take off the medicine all year round, don't bully me as a woman." ”
"That's it, mine can be returned."
"Your shopkeeper said that when there is a difficulty, we don't have a second word, and now that the money has been repaid, you can also be more interesting." ……
Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, there is a big appearance that you will not give up if you don't pay back the money.
Liu Yuanzhi said that these are not easy to dismiss, because these people's IOUs are undated, that is, they can ask for them at any time.
A total of about 500 taels of silver were owed, and the three debt collectors who accounted for the majority were 150 taels, 50 taels and 30 taels, adding up to 230 taels, that is, more than half of the debts had not yet been settled.
For the Jinyu family, which is now difficult to take out even five taels, the crisis has not been fundamentally resolved.
Liu Yuan waved his hand again and again, shouted a few times to stop, and after everyone stopped talking, he said sincerely: "Uncles and elders, shopkeepers, thank you for your support to the Jinyu family, on behalf of the Jinyu family, thank you." ”
Said far, bowed deeply to the people present, and then continued: "Ming people don't say dark words, this time I'm really sorry for everyone, because I can't make up money today, but everyone rest assured, people don't have a bad debt, this debt, definitely will not be less than a child, fortunately, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Jinyu family still has a little industry, but it also takes a little time to sell, so let's do it, after the first seven days, three days, three years is to smash the pot and sell iron, and sell me and my sister, and there will be no less money for everyone, people die for the sake of the ancestors." , let's sell face, who doesn't have a difficult time. ”
Now three days have passed, and after the first seven days, even if you sell your property, you have to take a little time to operate, that is, you have to wait for seven days.
Liu Yuan said sincerely, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
"Then wait for seven days, I'm still doing white things, the bones of the shopkeeper Yuan are not cold, so I can't force the two children to death immediately." It is said that a woman's heart is made of water, seeing Liu Yuan and Xiaoniang like this, looking at the mourning hall, Chen Li, who opened a tea shop, shook his head, and ignored how others reacted, turned around and left.
"Okay, it's all about this, seven days is seven days."
"I don't believe you'll be able to raise that much money by then, but when it comes to this, I'll wait seven days."
"The first seven haven't passed yet, it's a bit excessive, I'll wait."
"Go back, go back, leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future."
"That's it, so many others can wait, and I only have a few dollars, so I'll wait." ……
Eventually, the crowd of people who had come to collect the debt dispersed, and a seemingly imminent disaster was temporarily resolved.
Xiao Niang's face was bitter for a while, it was obvious that Liu Yuan had tried his best to speak, now the funeral of his dead father can be successfully completed, at least he can be buried in the ground, but, seven days, seven days later, he knows his own situation, that is, he smashes the pot and sells iron, and he can raise a hundred taels and snickers, what about four hundred taels?
If the father and son repay the debt, they can't pay it back, they just sell themselves, which is also a matter of course, but what about Liu Yuan? His statement dragged him into the water, and he couldn't pay off his debts, and Liu Yuan couldn't run.
"Senior brother, even ~ tired you." The little lady pulled Liu Yuan's sleeve and cried with a complicated expression.
In her opinion, Liu Yuan's this is just a delaying tactic, so that her father can go to the ground first, and if he wants to come, he will still come after all.
Liu Yuan touched her head and said, "Fool, what is not involved, didn't you say that you would cook for me for the rest of your life?" Sooner or later, it's a family, what do you say about it and not? ”
"But, that money~~~"
"Don't worry!" Liu Yuan said calmly: "Just leave the money to me, you just need to guard the mourning hall, because I have to do something these days." ”
"Ah, doing things?" Xiao Niang looked around a little flustered, and then lowered her voice and said, "Senior brother, are we ~~ going to run away?" ”
Five hundred taels, squeeze out the oil for both of them, and you can't raise enough money, so you can borrow it from your relatives? That's even more impossible, there is no contact between old and dead, and there is no basic funeral, let alone sending charcoal in the snow, except for running, there is really no choice.
However, when the time comes, where can the two little ones go?
"Run?" Liu Yuan said curiously: "Who said I was going to run?" ”
"That~~"
Liu Yuan said confidently: "I want to fill in all the debts within these seven days, and I want to make the Jinyu family the leading gold store in Datang within seven years." ”
What the? Earn more than 400 taels in seven days? Seven years to be an industry leader? The little lady listened to Liu Yuan's words, just like listening to a book from heaven.
However, Liu Yuan didn't pay attention to the surprised look of the little lady, but said to himself: "Well, seven days, the time is a little tight, the task is a bit arduous, hurry up, it should be enough." ”
