Chapter 164: There won't be a fight
Chapter 165
In Tang Yu's opinion, although he married Ning Wan'er, he only knew how to spend time and drink in the early stage, but he had changed too much in the past six months.
Although he has never visited the Ning family once, the Ning family is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, and it is impossible for the Ning family to deal with him.
And the Ning family is the richest man in the capital, and two million taels of silver can definitely be taken out.
Old Man Ning's eyes were slightly cold: "This matter is a long story!" But the old man can clearly tell you that at the peak of the Ning family, the background was as high as 60 million taels, even if Datang was the weakest among the seven countries in the world, with the value of the Ning family, it was enough to rank among the top three of the rich list of the seven countries! β
"But now, the Ning family doesn't say that they are in the top three of the Seven Kingdoms, even if they are in the top ten, they can't get in! Any idea why this is? β
"Please speak up to my father-in-law!" Tang Yu was secretly shocked.
Old Man Ning snorted coldly: "That's because of your father Tang Huang!" β
"What does this have to do with my father?" Tang Yu was taken aback.
Old Man Ning took a sip of tea and said: "Back then, your father launched a coup d'Γ©tat, and he urgently needed the support of my Ning family, to put it bluntly, your father just wanted my Ning family to pay money, and my Ning family finally decided to gamble on the fate of the whole family and give it a go, but we demanded that after the matter was completed, we must give my Ning family double reward!" β
"At that time, Emperor Tang didn't agree, saying that he could let my daughter become the crown princess of the dynasty, the old man thought about it, and felt that this deal was very cost-effective, so he agreed, after all, once the prince ascended the throne, then my Ning family would be completely developed! So at that time, the Ning family invested 30 million taels of silver to help your father launch a coup d'Γ©tat! Old Man Ning said bluntly.
Remember the URL
"! So much money? Father-in-law, I seem to understand why you are reluctant to lend money to the imperial court! β
When Old Man Ning finished speaking in one breath, Tang Yu suddenly understood.
Thinking that back then, the Ning family was so rich, for the sake of the Tang Emperor to start a dispute, the Ning family took out half of the assets to invest in the Tang Emperor, and after the Tang Emperor ascended the throne, he also exchanged his promise and let himself, as the crown prince, marry Ning Wan'er.
But in the past few years, the eldest prince Tang Long and the third prince Tang Shuheng have continued to cultivate power in the court, and before he crossed over, the original prince only knew how to have fun, and he never supported the Ning family at all.
In other words, all the 30 million silver invested by the Ning family that year was lost.
Who is this kind of thing resting on and who is not angry?
After all, the Ning family's heritage of 60 million taels back then was accumulated after hundreds of years of precipitation.
Old Man Ning continued: "In addition, Emperor Tang has suppressed the wealthy family over the years, and my Ning family has not obtained any benefits, and because the Ning family's heritage has shrunk by half, many businesses cannot be operated, maybe His Royal Highness Tang Yu You don't know a little, the eldest prince and the third prince have also secretly suppressed the Ning family all these years!" β
"At present, the Ning family has been losing money for fifteen consecutive years, and the bottom line is less than 20 million! Just now, the eldest prince Tang Long said cruelly, if the Ning family dared to borrow money, he would destroy the Ning family at any cost! β
"In this era, the merchants are the lowest, and our Ning family is forced to choose to protect ourselves! His Royal Highness Tang Yu, do you understand now? β
"The Ning family is in such a difficult situation?" Tang Yu was shocked.
He had always heard that the Ning family was the richest man in the capital, who would have thought that the Ning family's fate was so tragic now, and the glorious period was long gone.
Ning Wan'er said on the side: "Tang Yu, what my father said is right, now the Ning family is in a really difficult situation!" β
"Old man, do you dare to bet with me?" Tang Yu said solemnly.
Old Man Ning was surprised: "My Ning family bet on your father's bet right, although the family property has shrunk seriously, and now you want to gamble again, so why don't my Ning family dare to bet?" But the question is, how are you going to bet? β
Hearing this, Ning Hao sneered and said, "Say it lightly!" You don't have any power in the court now, and it's not enough to be favored by the Tang Emperor! Once the Ning family bets on you, it will affect the whole body, in case of failure, my Ning family will really disappear in the capital! β
