Chapter 263: What to do
"Mian (Miss Liu!) What are you doing! The boss and Zhao Yu were almost in unison, they didn't expect Tang Mian to do this, and they were all shocked.
"Look what I do! Now the debt between us has been cleared," Tang Mian finished with a smile, and took out two pre-written certificates of settling the silver money from his sleeve and placed them in front of the two of them.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw something strange in each other's eyes.
They were all confused by Tang Mian's divine operation.
They don't owe her hundreds of silver, what is Tang Mian going to do?
So easily forgive the debts between them, and let them act as if nothing had happened.
Could it really be as rumored by the outside world that Tang Mianzhen was possessed by evil spirits.
Zhao Yu looked at Tang Mian very nervously: "Mian said that you recognize who I am?" ”
"Don't make a fuss!" Tang Mian smiled helplessly.
She knew that there were a lot of rumors about him being bad lately, but those were all made up by everyone, and there was no real hammer at all.
Forgive the two of them their debts, mainly for herself.
"Boss Liu, this can't be done! At the beginning, you gave me so much money in the snow, but now you say that you will write it off, and I can't accept it. What the hell happened to you? Why have so many stores been sold recently? Dismissal of so many shopkeepers and associates. ”
Boss Sun couldn't help but ask what he was thinking, and Tang Mian didn't hide it, only saying that she dreamed of an old fairy and told him that it wouldn't be long before the imperial city would fall into turmoil.
She estimated that it should be the emperor who would ask them businessmen to donate silver
When Boss Sun heard that Tang Mianshuang was fooling him with this again, he didn't say much.
At the beginning, Tang Mian helped him in his most difficult time, and now even if he doesn't have an IOU, he still has to pay back the silver.
Tang Mian knew that he didn't believe it, so he didn't force him, but gave him a suggestion, asking him to buy a few more acres of land near the imperial city or farther away.
Tang Mian, who had solved a matter on her mind, was in a good mood. When I went to the kitchen, I couldn't bear a few little songs.
Not to mention that outsiders can't see through what Tang Mian is thinking, even people with a mouth and mouth have recently felt that Tang Mian is very strange.
However, Bai Yunniang saw that she was in a stable mood and was so happy every day, so she followed her.
After all, a person's energy is limited, and it is not good for the eyes to be in charge of so many stores and spend time looking at so many ledgers every day.
It's better to sell those stores that don't make money, anyway, they can live on their mouths now.
A few days later, Tang Mian went to Bai Yunniang in person and took out a land deed and a house deed, saying that he bought it in the name of Xiaobao.
"Mian, what's wrong with you lately?" Bai Yunniang was not worried about Tang Mian
But why did she arrange Xiaobao too?
In an instant, her heart contracted violently, and many bad images flashed through her mind.
"Mother, don't think about it, now I still have a lot of spare money in my hands, so I will buy some houses and fields for Xiaobao, so when he is older, if he doesn't want it, he can sell it again."
"Really?" No wonder Bai Yunniang didn't believe it, it was Tang Mian's recent three days of doing things that made people feel very uneasy.
Tang Mian nodded, and once again emphasized that he hadn't encountered anything recently, selling so many houses and shops, and dismissing so many shopkeepers and guys, just because he was tired recently.
The Imperial City is indeed a place of outstanding people, but the people are complicated, not to mention the high freight, and the price is nearly half higher than that of other places.
She has so many stores and manages the rations of nearly 400 people, and the pressure in her heart is really a lot.
Bai Yunniang looked at her daughter and told the truth, so she didn't ask.
A few days later, as Tang Mian expected, the emperor issued a second holy decree and continued to call on businessmen from all over the country to donate.
Unfortunately, before half a month later, the third holy decree came down again, calling on them to continue to donate silver.
It was only at this time that Boss Sun suddenly realized that all the things Tang Mian told him were true.
He didn't think much about it, and immediately put up most of the properties under his name and sold them.
In order to get rid of it as soon as possible, he also lowered the price a lot, and then went to Liangze County, Fulin County and Yuncheng County, which are not far away, to buy more than 500 acres of land and a few big houses, and put them in the names of relatives and friends.
Just when he had dealt with these things about the same time, it was also the autumn harvest season.
At this time, a large amount of rice and noodles are on the market, and it is also a good time for merchants to make money, but it is a pity that a holy decree from the emperor has been issued, which has disrupted many people's plans.
On this day, Chairman Cui personally wrote a post inviting Tang Mian to attend their meeting.
Tang Mian came as promised.
When they arrived, they found that all they were talking about was about donations.
In response to the emperor, many businessmen have donated nearly half of their worth, and if this continues, they will be hollowed out sooner or later.
Chairman Cui also received gossip that the emperor was not satisfied with the amount of the last donation, and had adopted Prime Minister Xu's suggestion, and asked the county officials to count all the assets in the name of the merchants before the next donation, and collect them according to the proportion.
"Tell me all about it! What is this? Shinong Industry and Commerce, we were originally at the bottom of the list, and now they want to use us. ”
"Shhhh If something is heard and stabbed out by someone with a heart, everyone in the Chamber of Commerce will follow you to the end! ”
"Why can't you say it, why only let us merchants donate money, and our silver is not stolen and robbed!"
……
Seeing them arguing in front of the president, Tang Mian was silent, and Master Sun, who was sitting next to him, sighed secretly, and peeked at Tang Mian, fortunately, she gave him only a trick in advance, otherwise, it is estimated that there will not be much silver left in their family.
"Boss Liu, the old man invited you over, just to ask if you have a way?" Tang Mian, who was named, was also blindsided, and she sold so many assets in her name because she had no choice.
Now that the situation is developing with history, he can't change it even if he wants to.
It is destined that some businessmen will become bankrupt because of this turmoil, and some people will begin to rise up against the emperor, making the imperial city a miasma, and the emperor not only did not learn the slightest lesson, but also began to suppress the businessmen.
It will take another four or five years.
Everyone looked at Tang Mian in unison, shaking their heads at her, and they were all a little helpless.
Early the next morning, some merchants took out their stores to sell, but unfortunately no one bought them.
Qiao Sheng took the time to come back today and personally pulled Tang Mian into the study. “
Owner, do you only have a store left, and the rest is still seventy or eighty acres of land in the eastern suburbs? Looking at Qiao Sheng's serious appearance, Tang Mian was amused.
He couldn't laugh at all.
Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Xu, as the head of the civil and military officials, knew that the emperor was not interested in the court, and reported to him that he would levy the merchant's silver according to his assets.
If it is carried out, the whole world will inevitably be in chaos.
He was very worried about Tang Mian, so he took the time to come over and ask clearly.
