Chapter 1130: Bargaining
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Nongmen, don't send it if you go slowly! Chapter 1127 Bargaining Li Yao ate a petal of orange, then raised his eyes to look at Old Lady Ma and asked, "So, Old Lady Ma is thinking about being private?" ”
"Yes." Old Lady Ma nodded.
The Ma family earns a lot of money all year round, and for Old Lady Ma, as long as Li Yao doesn't speak too much, there is nothing more convenient than using silver to solve it.
"Hmm." Li Yao nodded, and said to Jin Feng again, "Go and get their confession yesterday." ”
Jin Feng hurriedly retreated, and after a while, he took the small book and came back.
Li Yao flipped through it, and then counted with Mrs. Ma one by one, "First, yesterday your Ma family's family stole something worth 2,300 taels of silver from my store, and according to the rules of my store, stealing a fine of 100 taels is 230,000 taels of silver." ”
"Second, the people of your Ma family injured fifteen of my fellows, and each of them will compensate for the medical expenses and fright expenses of 1,000 taels, which is 15,000 taels of silver."
"Third, the people of your Ma family disrupt the business of the county lord, and my business loss cost 10,000 taels of silver."
"Fourth, the people of your Ma family also said that they would arrest the county lord, which frightened the county lord, and the county lord's fright fee and mental damage fee will be counted as 60,000 taels for you."
"Fifth, the people of your Ma family caused me such a big trouble, yesterday I called the guards and entertained the people of your Ma family, and I had to take care of their food and accommodation, even if you have 10,000 taels of silver."
"A total of 325,000 taels, thank you." After settling the general account, Li Yao raised his eyes and looked at Old Lady Ma.
Every time Old Lady Ma heard Li Yao calculate an account, her heart beat hard.
Black! It's so dark!
Li Yao opened his mouth and directly asked for his Ma's net income for nearly half a year!
The Ma family's biggest income comes from nine silver buildings, but only this silver building in Jingyang City can net two or three hundred thousand taels of silver every year, and the remaining eight silver buildings in the county next to it have this amount of income plus one piece.
After all, no matter how big and prosperous the county town next to it is, it is not as good as Jingyang having so many princes and nobles, civil and military officials and rich people.
In addition to the income of the silver building, coupled with the property next to the Ma family, the annual net income of the Ma family is basically about seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver.
Don't look at this a lot of money, but these properties of the Ma family do not completely belong to the old lady Ma's room, in addition to his room, there are also two rooms of the clan who need to give a part of the dividends, such a large family just dividends and usage have gone to most of the half, and every year they have to pay filial piety to the Zhao family and the eldest prince at least more than 200,000 taels, and there is not much silver left in the public account every year.
Seeing that Old Lady Ma didn't speak, Li Yao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked, "What?" Does Mrs. Ma have an opinion? ”
Just yesterday, she asked people to hang a sign in the hall downstairs that said 'steal one hundred fines', and Li Yao also thought that the rest of the medical expenses were 'reasonable'.
In the past, Li Yaokeng's silver was also a 'dignified' pit, and he never left a handle for people, or made people dare not say anything if they suffered losses.
This time, she calculated every account clearly, even the stolen goods worth 2,300 taels were calculated according to the price marked in the store, and there was nothing false at all, otherwise what if people said that she was extortion?
Old lady Ma took a deep breath and said, "This is too much, I won't be able to make up so much silver for a while, can I reduce it more, in this way, 200,000 taels, I will immediately have someone gather it and send it to you." ”
He bargained with Li Yao.
Even for the Ma family, it is a little difficult to take out more than 300,000 taels of silver at once, and it is not impossible to get it together, the problem is that the second child will use too much money from the public account to always cause dissatisfaction among his other sons and clansmen.
Mrs. Ma went out today with 160,000 taels of silver, and this is because the family heard that the second child had an accident, and after discussion, they agreed to take out 100,000 taels of silver from the public account to 'save' the second child, and the other 60,000 taels were taken from his private room.
He originally thought that the 160,000 taels of silver should be able to satisfy Li Yao's appetite, but he didn't expect Li Yao to open his mouth and ask for twice the maximum amount he expected.
