Zhu Hao's education career is about to take off.

Women's studies are in the final stages of preparation.

The main person in charge is Mrs. Gongsun, who has finished her confinement in the second half of the first month and is checking all the preparations, and the person who assists her is Gongyeling.

Meanwhile.

Zhu Hao's progress in buying a ship was accelerated, and after the shopkeeper went to meet Ouyang Nu, the other party said that he would consider it.

Inside the inn.

"Miss, there's really something wrong with Mu Renqing...... Last night, he secretly escaped, took all the silver, and left a letter in the room, saying that the Chengguo Mansion would come forward to help the Ouyang family tide over the difficulties, but the premise was that the young lady must marry to be a partial house...... It has been reported to the government, but the state and county yamen have said that this matter is not under their control......"

The mother-in-law beside Ouyang Nu looked sad.

I thought that An Lu's trip was to solve the dilemma faced by the family, but I didn't know that I fell into the trap carefully set by others, and I fell deeper and deeper, and now I am on the verge of a desperate situation.

Ouyang Nu asked eagerly: "Since the incident happened locally, why did the Yamen at the Anlu Prefecture and Changshou County levels stand idly by?" ”

The mother-in-law sighed: "Mu Renqing is not a local, and he is missing this time, and it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources if he wants to find someone...... After the resignation of the local magistrate, the new magistrate has not come to perform his duties, and the magistrate will step down after a period of time, who will care about the interests of foreign businessmen like us at this time? ”

The truth is simple but easy to understand.

Originally, the local government did not want to take care of the affairs of outsiders, especially this kind of debt disputes between outsiders...... Your shopkeeper ran away with the money, and let the local government come forward to arrest people for you? Have you considered the cost of our government handling cases?

Besides, the local yamen at both levels are now at a critical time when the old and the new are replaced, and all lawsuits will be postponed. I want to sue back to Nanzhili to sue!

"How much silver do we have left? External debt...... How many? ”

Ouyang Nu is facing the dilemma of family bankruptcy, and her pretty face is full of despair.

The mother-in-law said: "Fortunately, the mirror business was not completed before, and the Zhu family's advance payment of one hundred and sixty taels of silver has only been returned to eighty taels so far, and I have gone to recover it many times...... Even if we recover it all, some of the more than 300 taels of silver are borrowed from outside, and we also borrowed 70 taels from the shopkeeper......

"What?"

Ouyang Nu didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

On the surface, Su Xigui introduced her to Anlu to do business, but on the first day of arrival, she tore her face with the largest collapsed house in the local area, and she didn't plan to cooperate with Su Xigui's people to do business in the future, when did she owe Su Xigui's subordinate the shopkeeper seventy taels of silver?

The mother-in-law's face was gloomy: "This debt is re-lented...... The money to buy a mirror was not enough before, so Mu Renqing took the lead in borrowing money...... It was only after confirming with the creditor that I learned that the owner of the loan was the shopkeeper. ”

Ouyang Nu understood it.

The real creditor behind the loan to the horse shopkeeper is actually the horse shopkeeper.

"Their money was paid back first!"

Ouyang Nu immediately made a decision.

The mother-in-law looked helpless: "The interest on this debt is the lowest, and the repayment period can be delayed until two months later...... Nanjing's houses and the few boats that were not brought over were all seized by creditors, and they could not get the money back, and the holes could not be plugged, and they would all be confiscated...... Why don't you go back to Nanjing...... Leave! ”

The meaning of the mother-in-law is that the local debts can no longer be taken care of, and the biggest debt crisis of the Ouyang family occurred in Nanjing.

Ouyang Nu sighed: "Even if we return to Nanjing, the debt can be repaid?" ”

Both the master and servant fell silent.

At this time, a report came from outside: "The master, the shopkeeper is here to see you." ”

Ouyang Nu immediately got up and was about to go out to greet her, but the mother-in-law hurriedly reminded: "Miss, if you want to avoid the mountains, it is better to cross the Han River directly from here to the west, go Jingmen, Dangyang, Yidu, and then take a boat to Shudi, don't see the horse shopkeeper over there, this person is very treacherous...... The Su family behind him is even more unstubble. Besides, we still have debts in his hands......"

With the meaning of the mother-in-law, it is not good for the creditor to come to visit, it is too late to hide, and you take the initiative to greet you?

Ouyang Nu shook her head and said, "It's definitely not a good strategy to avoid it, and besides, how many boats do you have at hand...... Find someone to sell it too! ”

If you have to escape, you must travel lightly, and you can still run away with the boat? Isn't it easy to track down the creditor and the government?

Of course, I have to find someone to sell the ship or something in my hand first, and transfer the trouble to someone else.

……

……

The first floor of the inn.

Ouyang Nu saw the horse shopkeeper, and at the same time saw the "child" she had seen at the ferry.

"Shopkeeper, this is ......"

Ouyang Nu was surprised to find that this time Ma Yan was actually standing behind the child.

The shopkeeper said: "Solemnly introduce, this is our small owner, and the local business is responsible for the small owner." ”

Ouyang Nu couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

What tricks are you playing?

The mother-in-law was dissatisfied: "The horse family came to do business, why did they have to engage in some things that the gods were talking about to hide people's eyes?" Something to talk about. ”

Zhu Hao was treated as air, and he didn't get angry, and spread his hands: "I'm here to talk about business, what kind of attitude do you have...... Old horse, didn't you say that they agreed to sell the boat? ”

"Forgive me, maybe, I didn't say it too clearly before." The shopkeeper quickly admitted his mistake.

"Shall we go upstairs and talk? Or just break up and stop doing business? ”

Zhu Hao looked at Ouyang Nu impatiently.

Don't think that we don't know your situation, you are now desperate, there are signs of running away, so we come to block you, even if you want to run, you have to pay back the seventy taels of silver with interest, otherwise you think my silver is blown by a strong wind?

The mother-in-law stubbornly refused: "We don't sell the boat." ”

Zhu Hao sneered and ordered: "It's okay, Lao Ma, find someone to go to the government to inform you, spend some money to make a point, call all the officials of the state and county yamen, and urge them to return our silver with interest......"

The mother-in-law had a dark face: "The debt is not due." ”

"I think there is a problem with your integrity, and there may be a risk of running away, so I set the rules first and detain your road guide and customs clearance documents...... This should be in order. In addition, you find someone to keep an eye on the old horse to prevent accidents. ”

Zhu Hao gave the order competently.

Debts not due?

It doesn't matter, first use the local government to guide your way, and then find someone to monitor and see where you are going.

The mother-in-law wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ouyang Nu: "This little master, talk upstairs." ”

Zhu Hao grinned, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth: "This is like talking, old horse, go up with me and talk about it." ”

……

……

The room in the upper floor.

This can be regarded as the boudoir of the daughter's family.

After Zhu Hao came in, he sat down in a big way, and the horse shopkeeper could only stand behind him.

"To put it bluntly, three hundred taels of silver will buy your four boats, the four that dock by the river, and you will have to transport goods if you don't want to carry people...... After removing the seventy taels of silver you owe us, we will give you a total of two hundred and thirty taels, and the interest will not be calculated with you, but if you agree, you will bring the ship deed, and go with us to the local government to pass the registration.

"Let's put aside the ugly words first, we are only responsible for buying ships, and you are responsible for the follow-up disputes of these ships, we don't care, we will use these ships to transport goods after we pick them up, and they will no longer have anything to do with your Ouyang family."

Ouyang Nuhua's face was gloomy, and her voice trembled slightly: "Three hundred or four ships, I'm afraid it's not suitable...... No matter how cheap it is, it won't be so cheap......"

Zhu Hao smiled and did not speak.

The shopkeeper on the side said: "Ouyang is in charge, if you don't like it, you can run far away with the silver, and if someone is willing to accept your boat at this time, you should be glad." And then the price...... It is three or four percent lower than the market price, but the convenience it brings to you is unimaginable. ”

Ouyang Nu bit her lower lip tightly.

From the words of the shopkeeper, she understood that her own situation had long been under the control of others.

Eat her.

"There is another thing, the mirror before, if someone hadn't mentioned it, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have a coffin left, as for who secretly reminded you...... You don't need to tell me, do you? ”

The shopkeeper said another piece of news that shocked Ouyang Nu.

"It was your ......"

Zhu Hao hurriedly said: "You can't talk nonsense, when will we be angry with you?" You just know something! ”

Zhu Hao would not admit that he did this by himself, if the Zhu family knew about it, wouldn't it mean that he and the shopkeeper deliberately cheated the Zhu family?

"Also, if you don't do business in the future, you can transfer the channels you control to us...... In this case, give an extra thirty taels of silver, and call your shopkeeper, your men, and those who can work, and these thirty taels will be my severance pay for you. ”

Zhu Hao said another proposal that surprised the shopkeeper.

Zhu Hao actually wants to get the Ouyang family's connections and business channels?

Does this mean that Zhu Hao is unwilling to only do business in Anlu? Before Zhu Hao opened a store in Jingshan County, the shopkeeper could feel the ambition of the small owner.

"Little master, what are you going to do?" Ouyang Nu had a feeling of discomfort that she was about to go bankrupt, and her only remaining resources were also worried about by the jackals.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Maybe Your Excellency has other choices...... If you think my request is presumptuous, you can do it without doing it...... Moreover, Ouyang returned our seventy taels of silver with interest, and I will no longer care about business matters from now on. ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Miss, return the seventy taels of silver to them, they are by no means a good stubble!" ”

This was deliberately said loudly, just so that Zhu Hao and Ma Yan could hear it.

Ouyang Nu suddenly became persistent, and looked at Zhu Hao with sharp eyes: "The mirror of the Zhu family, you sold it to them, right?" Where did you get the mirror? Is it you who are the mysterious merchants who can produce mirrors locally? No wonder Su is such a shrewd person who would put the local business in your hands......"

This is the ......

Even the shopkeeper was a little surprised, this little lady suddenly opened up?

It's just that you opened up a little late, if you had talked about business with a good voice when you first met earlier, why did you come to the point where you are exhausted now?

"Old horse, what do you say?"

Zhu Hao asked Ma Yan with a smile on his head.

The shopkeeper said: "I think the little proprietor should not do business with them, and ask for seventy taels of silver, and it will be idle to do nothing." ”
