Chapter 43: King Jin Zhang
"I don't have anything to do at this time, so let me accompany the eldest lady to talk about the money bank." Wei Quanbao said with a smile.
"It's okay, then there's Master Lao Wei." She said.
Ruoxue had followed the shopkeeper Wei for two years to learn the operation of the bank, as well as to read the accounts and account accounting, so she has always been commensurate with the master and respected.
Wei Quanbao turned around and asked the guy to hold the account book, and he followed Ruoxue and the others to the ninth private room.
Sitting down in the private room, Lianxin Dancheng took the teapot and bowl from the man's hand, poured tea for the two young ladies, and poured a bowl for the shopkeeper Wei who was sitting a little farther away, and put it in his hand.
"There's Miss Laurean." Shopkeeper Wei leaned over and said.
"The shopkeeper Wei laughed, the slave and maid don't dare to be the word labor." Lian Xin smiled and retreated into the distance, standing with Rice Pearl Gongyue.
"I haven't seen these two little girls, they're new to the house, right?" Shopkeeper Wei glanced at Mi Pearl Gongyue, turned his head and asked Ruoxue.
Ruoxue smiled, politely with respect, "Well, as soon as I entered the mansion, I saw that they were well-behaved and stayed." She said.
"The people around the eldest lady still have to find out before staying, in case unclean people enter the house and ruin the big thing for the young lady." Shopkeeper Wei said in a cautious tone.
"What Master Wei said is, I'll let people check it." Ruoxue smiled.
Wei Quanbao nodded to indicate that he was very satisfied with this answer, he turned his head to look at Ruohong, and asked about her illness, the eldest lady ran to Maoshan for this sister, it was really nonsense!
The doctor in Jinling City is not as good as the Taoist priest in the mountain?
"Thank you for your concern, I'm much better." Ruohong said with a smile.
Ruohong was on the way here, and she heard Ruoxue talk about the general situation in Jiutong's wealth, and she also knew that this Wei shopkeeper was a very important person in the Mei family, so she should be respectful to him.
The beard at the corner of Wei Quanbao's mouth trembled, he didn't hear respect from these words, but he had a feeling of coping, and he didn't have the heart to deal with a child, so he turned his head and talked to Ruoxue about Qianzhuang.
Now it is the end of the year, and all the shops have reached the year-end settlement period, and the large amount of gold and silver is deposited in the bank, and the loan is less, and the inventory has increased rapidly, which has also increased the interest income.
"There won't be too many borrowers before the end of the year, and it will only improve after ......the year," Wei Quanbao said.
Ruoxue ate slowly with the tea bowl, and listened carefully to the shopkeeper Wei saying that the large amount of silver deposited in the past month, she calculated it carefully in her heart, adding up to more than 1.5 million taels, which is the sum of several months in ordinary times.
Ruohong didn't have anything to do here, so she held the thick account book on the table on her lap and flipped through it, and after a while, she read half of it.
Her brows furrowed when she saw it.
Wei Quanbao was quite surprised when he first saw Ruohong looking at the account books, thinking if she could understand it, the old club was very good at reading the account books, the eldest lady had been exposed to it since she was a child, and she was also very proficient in account calculations, so it was difficult for any mistakes and omissions to escape her eyes.
Seeing that she turned over the account book faster than reading a book, and seeing her brows wrinkled more and more, she said in her heart: Not everyone can understand the account book.
"Big shopkeeper......" a fellow shouted from outside the door.
"Come in."
"What's the matter, say."
"There is a guest who wants to borrow 500,000 taels of silver, and Steward Liu will let you go out and have a look." The guy said.
When Wei Quanbao heard that someone wanted to borrow 500,000 taels, he stood up, this was too much to borrow, and the people who came to borrow silver were not afraid of being crushed to death by silver.
He raised his legs and walked two steps outside, only to remember that the eldest lady was still here, and turned around and bowed down and said, "Please ask the eldest lady to be in charge of such a big business." ”
Ruoxue put down the tea bowl and said, "Please go and deal with it first, and my sister and I will go upstairs to have a look." ”
Ruohong let Dan Tang hold the account book, followed Ruoxue out of the door of the private room, detoured to the second floor of the lobby, and sat in a small cubicle.
Through the bamboo curtain here, you can see the scene in the lobby, the shopkeeper Wei is talking to a person, looking at the person's dress, it doesn't look like the son and young master of a big family, but more like a long-term servant.
Wan Yun looked upstairs, then turned his head to look at Wei Quanbao and said with a smile: "Our prince said, borrow it for the time being, and I will return it to you in three or five months, at most half a year." It's up to you to make the money. What do you think? ”
"The government borrowed so much at one time, we must always discuss, 500,000 taels is not a small number, and we also have to take a lot of risks." Wei Quanbao said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go and discuss." Wan Yun said.
"The man saw us."
Ruohong turned her head to look at Ruoxue and said, when she looked down just now, the person looked back, and his sensitivity made Ruohong quickly withdraw her eyes in fright.
Were ancient people so sensitive?
"He has very high martial arts, so he will be like this." Rice Pearl said.
Ruoxue glanced at her, she had been down the mountain for so long before she heard her take the initiative to speak, and it seemed that she was a very cautious person.
The door of the compartment was pushed open, Wei Quanbao walked in in all directions, and closed the door with his backhand, "Miss, the person who came is Wan Yun, the head of the guards of the Jinzhang Palace, and he said that their prince will borrow 500,000 taels of silver to do business in the East China Sea, and he will pay it back in three or five months." He said.
"Jin Zhang's Palace? Haven't heard of it before. "Ruoxue Road.
Wei Quanbao leaned back in the chair, the white jade Taiji ball in his hand slowly turned, and said: "More than half a month ago, this prince of Jinzhang Wang only moved here, and the eldest lady was not in the house at that time, so it is normal that she has never heard of it.
The old Jin King Zhang was a comrade who fought the world with Emperor Taizong, and was later named a king with a different surname. The current King Jin Zhang has been squeezed out by the ministers of the court and the central government over the years, and his power has gradually declined, but now the saint has maintained it, and he is safe and sound. ”
Wei Quanbao sat in the chair opposite, leaned back, and said what he had learned, "The news from the shop in the capital said that this prince was named Li Tao, and more than two months ago, he beat the emperor's six princes, and the old Jin Zhang King took him out of the capital under the pretext of letting him accompany his grandmother to Jiangnan for the winter, and also let him take refuge outside. ”
"How did he come up with the idea of going into business?" He said to himself again.
Ruohong wanted to roll her eyes when she heard Shizi, and the bloody persimmon finally appeared, and she wondered if she was playing a supporting role in a certain online article.
She took a look at Ruoxue, this is a pig's foot, and when she thought about it, Ruohong shivered for no reason.
Ruoxue asked, "Does Master Wei think he will lend it to him?" ”
Wei Quanbao stroked the sparse beard on his chin, and pretended to ponder for a moment, "You can't borrow it, we are also doing overseas business, but the risk is too great, and there are many times when there is no return, in case of an accident, our money bank will lose a lot." He said.
There are few people who borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time like this, and the higher the power, the more they dare not lend to him, for fear that people will use their power to suppress them and not pay them back, which will be troublesome.
However, if he does not lend it to him, he can still use his power to oppress others, so what?
