Chapter 674: Micro Movement (II)

If you want to say who is the closest to Xu Lingyi these days, it is King Yong.

Now that the big thing has been decided, he should also feel it!

Eleven Niang helped Xu Lingyi change her clothes, sat down and continued to make a belly pocket for Brother Jin.

After a while, Brother Jin ran over: "Mother, mother, Lord Yong is here!" ”

"How do you know?" Shi Niang smiled and put down the needle and thread in her hand, "Lord Yong and your father have something to say, don't bother." ”

King Yong has been here a lot, and he will inevitably meet a few cousins. Xu Si is gentle and polite, Xu Si is shy and quiet, only Brother Jin, he is the youngest, not afraid, and he is a self-cooked. After coming and going, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he often brought some interesting small objects to reward Brother Jin.

Brother Jin nodded, leaned on Shi Niang's lap and talked to his mother, "I went to Daddy's study to practice calligraphy, and when I saw the guards of Lord Yong, I folded over." Mother, why did Prince Yong suddenly come to our house? ”

"Why do you say that?" Eleven Niang touched her son's silky black hair.

"We all live in Yanjing, and he didn't come once a year before, but you can see that in the past two months, he has come every other day." There was a calmness on his small face that did not match his age, "You say, is something wrong?" ”

I usually think he is small and strong, but I didn't expect him to have such a delicate side. If it was something else, Shi Niang naturally wanted to explain it to him, but it was better to tell him about it.

"If you don't say it, my mother hasn't paid attention yet." Eleven Niang smiled, "My mother doesn't know." However, he is a prince, and he is used to it, maybe it is a whim. ”

"If it's a whim, how can it be done again and again." He didn't agree with Shi Niang's point of view, "When the two of them meet, they talk in the study...... he looks very distressed, "It's not like he has a lot of words, he often stops after half a sentence, is silent for a long time, and says something I don't understand." ”

Shi Niang smiled and stroked his satin-smooth hair: "Let's leave them alone." Changed the subject, "By the way, you told me last time about your going to proclaim the same, and you haven't finished talking about it yet!" What happened to the old man who sold firewood? ”

Brother Jin'er perked up and put this matter behind him for the time being: "...... The boy lifted him up, and when he saw that his face was scratched, he rewarded him with five taels of silver. When the old man saw this, he immediately knelt down in front of the boy and begged him to buy his firewood. The boy rewarded him with another tael of silver, and he didn't want firewood. The old man thanked him a thousand times, and the boy left a little proudly. I also think that boy is generous and upright. Unexpectedly, the next day when we were having dinner in another place, we met an old man selling firewood again. He also avoided being hit by a plain-looking black paint flat-topped carriage, but this time the family only paid him some money for the soup. Didn't buy his firewood......"

Eleven Niang looked at her son with a smile, quietly listening to him talk about what he had seen and heard along the way, and was very emotional in her heart.

No wonder people say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books.

Brother Jin followed Xu Lingyi out twice, and he has seen all the old men and liars, which can be said to be a great insight.

Over there, Xu Lingyi sent away King Yong, thought about it, and called Xu Sizhen away.

"How much silver can be called up at home?"

After Xu Lingyi finished the New Year, he handed over the chores of the Xu family to Xu Sizhen to take care of, and after he came back, he was busy with the affairs of the district family and did not ask about the affairs of the family.

Xu Sizhen was slightly stunned.

Why did my father suddenly ask about this?

Is it a bad money? But I won't want to use the money in the driver's room!

My father must still have some savings.

Not necessarily, though.

He looked at the accounts of the government in the past few years, and the income was almost one year a year. In the past, it was only tens of thousands of taels of silver a year.

He suddenly thought of King Yong, who came to visit frequently.

I heard that King Yong built a very beautiful courtyard a few days ago and spent more than 800,000 taels of silver.

Is it to repay the debt to King Yong?

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "You can call 300,000 taels of silver." ”

Xu Lingyi was a little surprised: "How can you call so much silver?" The income of the house is only 600,000 taels a year. It's only the end of August, and the first half of the year is the time to spend money......"

Xu Si hurriedly said: "There are 200,000 taels in the account at home, and I can still draw 100,000 taels in my hand." ”

This number is relatively normal.

"How much silver?" Xu Lingyi nodded slightly, "Don't mix your own silver with the silver in the mansion." The little stewards of those clerks never carried a copper on their bodies when they were on errands, because they were afraid that their money would be mixed with the money of the public school, and the accounts would not be clear and unclear. ”

Xu Si replied "yes" slightly, and said, "There are two hundred and six thousand four hundred and forty-five silver on the account. ”

"On the books?" Xu Lingyi's face condensed slightly.

Xu Sizhen looked at it and felt a little flustered in his heart: "I have carefully read the account, and I have not miscalculated." ”

The son is also a man who is about to become a father, so how can he give him some dignity. Otherwise, how can a son have the dignity of being a father in front of his grandson.

Thinking of this, Xu Lingyi's tone eased again: "I'm asking you, how much silver is still in the library?" ”

The Xu family's silver was collected, and it wasn't just put there like that. Instead, some of them will be turned over to those banks with good credit and collect some profits; Some of it will be put in the library, ready for emergencies.

Xu Si hurriedly said: "One hundred and seventy-six thousand nine hundred and thirty-two taels." ”

It's relatively clear.

Xu Lingyi nodded with satisfaction: "I'm going to take some silver from you, how much can you take away?" ”

Xu Si thought for a while and said, "If you are short of silver, you can take it all." I eat, wear, and chew all in the house, and the 100,000 taels of silver are also in the house......"

Xu Lingyi laughed when he heard this: "Don't use your silver, you can tell me, how much can you give me?" ”

Xu Si thought for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Ten ...... Forty thousand taels, right? ”

The only important festivals in half a year are the Halloween and the Spring Festival. Leave 20,000 taels of silver for things for the Halloween, and the rest for daily expenses. As for the Spring Festival, the silver at the end of the year should be in the treasury, but it is abundant.

Xu Lingyi nodded.

Pretty much what he thought.

His heart was relieved a lot, and his thoughts turned to King Yong.

Borrow 500,000 taels of silver...... It's not a big deal either...... It's just that he took out all the silver in one go, and the Xu family is afraid that he will be in full view again...... The best thing to do is to borrow a little ...... And everyone knows that he borrowed money......

The thought flashed through me. He asked Xu Sizhen: "When will the silver of the Dafeng be returned?" ”

Oops!

Xu Sizhen was a little confused in his mind for a while.

In February, the imperial court had to transport silver to Fujian and Zhejiang. The condition is that the building number of the carrier must first take out a deposit of three million taels of silver. This deposit is already three-quarters of the whole person's salary. What if the court doesn't admit it at that time? When several silver buildings in Yanjing hesitated, Dafenghao, who came to Yanjing from Anhui to open a branch, quietly accepted the transaction, and then privately borrowed silver from several powerful people in Yanjing, with a monthly profit of 20 points. Mr. Bai borrowed 200,000 taels and said that he would pay it back in mid-March. At that time, his father had instructed him to keep an eye on this matter. In case Dafeng has not returned the silver in mid-May, he hurried to find King Shun. At that time, he was busy looking for a lantern shop...... In mid-May, when he went to check the accounts, the capital and profits were repaid. He didn't take it to heart.

I heard that Dafeng didn't have enough silver, so I borrowed a total of 1 million taels.

Xu Si pondered.

It's certainly not in March.

If Dafeng had a way, it would have made such a high profit.

But is it April or May?

He was really not impressed!

But his father looked at him like a torch, and he began to panic in his heart: "It's the ...... in May" The uncertainty that the voice couldn't hide.

Xu Lingyi frowned slightly, and called Mr. Bai in: "When will the silver of the Dafeng be returned?" ”

Manager Bai was strange and said respectfully: "At the end of March, Ben and Liquan were returned." ”

Xu Lingyi glanced at Xu Sizhen.

Xu Sizhen's forehead was covered with sweat.

"In this way, this Dafeng is going to start a situation in Yanjing by carrying the silver?" Xu Lingyi's face was as usual, and he discussed this matter with Manager Bai.

"yes!" Manager Bai said with a smile, "As soon as they came, they took over the transportation of the silver, and there must be someone in the temple." I borrowed a million taels in one go, and I was looking for people like us, and I paid it off in a month with interest. When I heard that the silver was returned, many people said that if Dafeng still wanted to borrow silver, they would just open their mouths when the time came. To be honest, the shopkeeper of this Dafeng is really not ordinary shrewd. ”

"Then you will go to Dafeng to help me borrow 200,000 taels of silver and come back!" Xu Lingyi instructed, "Try to talk to them about the silver as much as possible." ”

Although Manager Bai was strange, he believed in Xu Lingyi's ability more, and respectfully responded "yes" and walked out of the study quickly.

Xu Lingyi turned around and looked at Xu Sizhen coldly: "I don't want to spill your face." I won't ask Mr. Bai. Tell me yourself, what are you doing these days? ”

"I, I ......" Xu Sizhen's face was as white as paper.

"Went to make lanterns?" Xu Lingyi looked at him coldly.

He heard about it as soon as he returned.

but a matter of three or four thousand taels of silver.

He took Brother Jin to Datong, and Eleven Niang was only afraid of being empty. Xu Sichen made such a fuss, whether it was Mrs. Tai or Eleven Niang, she must be better off in her heart.

What's more, Xu Sichen has liked to make lanterns since he was a child, and he must be very happy to have such an opportunity.

He didn't ask.

But now it seems that he thought too simply.

In order to make lanterns, Xu Sizhen can leave his words behind, whether it is to make everyone happy to spend the Dragon Boat Festival or to satisfy his hobby of making lanterns, I am afraid that it is still two words.

"Good, good, good." Xu Lingyi smiled angrily, "I didn't know that there was a master of making lanterns in our family. In order to make lanterns, I didn't care about anything. ”

Xu Si froze there.

He had nothing to say.

Xu Lingyi looked at the wooden face and had nothing to say.

He brushed his sleeves away.
