Chapter 915: How Much Silver Did You Lose?
Now that those grains are in the hands of Qian Yuchun, it is equivalent to meat buns beating dogs, and there is no chance to get it back!
"Third Brother ......"
Li Qingze rarely saw Li Guangyan get so angry, and said in a low voice: "I know I'm wrong, if you want to beat or punish, it's okay, don't be angry with yourself......"
Li Guangyan looked at Li Qingze, who kept admitting his mistakes, took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and asked, "How much silver did you lose this time?" ”
Li Qingze hesitated for a moment before stretching out his four fingers......
"Forty thousand?"
"It's not... 400,000 ......"
"Four hundred thousand?!"
Li Guangyan's face was full of shock: "How can there be so many?!" ”
Li Qingze bit his lip and said in a low voice: "Before, those grains were recovered at a low price, and they cost very little, but later, they were all harvested about two times, and a small part was recovered nearly three times......"
150,000 stones, that is, more than 300,000 taels.
This is not counting the warehouse, and the money for labor, 400,000 taels is not much.
Li Guangyan looked at Li Qingze and only felt that his heart was dripping blood, if he didn't still retain some sanity, he would have wanted to strangle Li Qingze.
Four hundred thousand taels.
That's not four thousand taels, it's not forty thousand taels.
It was 400,000 taels, almost half of the silver earned by the Three Princes' Mansion over the years, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to earn some silver, and wait until the spring of the next year to use it to buy the courtiers, but now it is good, there is no income, but the old capital is lost.
Even with Li Guangyan's self-cultivation, he almost couldn't help but scold at this time.
Li Qingze knows that he is at a loss, he has followed Li Guangyan to do business all these years, and the silver he has saved is only tens of thousands of taels, and the rest is all Li Guangyan's, although Li Guangyan is indeed good at making money, but the loss of 400,000 taels is enough to make them break their bones.
He said in a low voice: "Third brother, I'm sorry, I know it's wrong, I just want to make more money to help you, but who knew that there would be an accident suddenly......"
"Accident?"
Li Guangyan said angrily: "Where are there so many accidents in this world!" ”
Li Qingze raised his head violently when he heard this: "Third brother......"
"Your so-called accident, haven't you ever thought about whether it was man-made or not?"
Li Guangyan said coldly:
"The granary in the north of the city was personally selected by me, and the wood was insulated from heat and smoke, how could it be so good that it caught fire?"
"Even if it was really an accidental fire, but the granary is so close to the Yuhe River, and there is so much water nearby, did you let the people who were guarding the vicinity be fools earlier, how could you let the fire burn, not only attracted the chaos, but even alarmed the Fengtian Mansion?"
"And those people, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, although the price of food has suddenly risen wildly, but it is only a few days, far from the point where those people can starve to death without food, they were born in the imperial city, if no one takes the lead in instigating, how dare they rob the grain?"
"Do you remember that after you went to the granary, there were casualties among the people who looted?"
Li Qingze's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered that when he went before, Qian Yuchun had told him that there were only a few "minor injuries" on the side of the city.
If there was really a robbery, and those people were in chaos, stampeding and scrambling everywhere, how could it be that there were only a few minor injuries, but there were no major casualties?
Could it be that Gyeonggi Wei went too fast?
But in such a short period of time, even if someone reported the case after the fire broke out, and the people grabbed food, it would only take half an hour for them to be together.
