Chapter 29 Crisis Mitigation

Xie Lun didn't even eat, so he hurried to see He Xi.

Although Niuzhuang City is chaotic, the scale is not large, but it is the scale of a small county town in the mainland. Xie Lun can go to see He Xi during the meal time.

It's just that Xie Lun didn't find out. He left Qian in a hurry, which had already attracted the attention of many people with ulterior motives, so soon, what Fang Chengyun did was immediately known by many people.

Xie Lun came to the small courtyard behind He Xi Niuzhuang Post Station and saw He Xi. After reporting the situation, he said, "My lord, what should I do?" ”

He Xi said: "Just lend it to them." ”

Xie Lun said: "There is no silver in the money number." ”

He Xi said: "The purchased silver, they took it away? ”

Xie Lun said: "Naturally, there is none. However, if you go south in a few days, you will definitely pick it up. ”

He Xi said: "Then what money do they use to book now?" ”

Xie Lun was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It should be the money we placed the order." ”

He Xi said: "No, I'll come back." Just lend it to them. ”

Xie Lun's brain couldn't turn for a while, and the two million taels in Liaodong were borrowed from Lan Yu. They don't have so much money themselves. This year, except for the beginning of spring, the original Liaodong wood farm trade continued, and there was no input in all other aspects.

He couldn't figure it out? Obviously he was in debt of two million taels, but after a few turns, the money was probably back. And let others owe themselves money.

Xie Lun suddenly figured it out. He said, "My lord, it's actually very dangerous to do this. Within a year this year, no, it should be before the arrival of winter, at least 10 million taels of goods will be produced, no, things are scarce, we produce so much. Prices are bound to fall. At that time, I am afraid that it will cost fifteen million taels of goods. ”

"Can we really do it?"

Xie Lun didn't think about the magic of the bank. He goes straight to the essence. In essence, Liaodong was responsible for as much as one or two million at once.

He Xi said: "This is not something to discuss now. You do what I say. These people lend as much as they want, as long as they should open their mouths, I dare to give. However, it is limited to this order. ”

Xie Lun said: "This is not good, we only have two million taels in Curry." ”

He Xi said: "You just write a list." Do you still need me to teach you this? ”

Xie Lun left the post station in despair.

He looked up at the blue sky and white sun, bright and clear. For a time, there was an illusion. Is it really green this day? Is it really white on this day?

Xie Lun shook his head and didn't think much about it. Go and do what you have to do.

------

The so-called 3 million goods eventually climbed to 4.5 million taels. The entire silver trumpet released more than two million taels of silver, of course, that is, a few lists were written. Just this loan. Liaodong can net tens of thousands of taels.

As for the original silver, it was almost in the storehouse of the silver horn, and it was not moved.

In fact, there is another fact that Xie Lun doesn't know, that is, in fact, the silver in the silver number is not enough for two million taels at all. At least a hundred thousand taels were lost. Only the box is sufficient.

He Xi didn't think about paying for it at all.

Of course, there is a small episode.

Nothing else. It's Fang Chengyun.

Fang Chengyun borrowed hundreds of thousands of taels, including Liaodong, and borrowed a lot from Chen Zuxiao. After all, Fang Guan was still working under Lu Zhongheng, and Chen Zuxiao was not worried, he would not return it. Let him win a spot in one fell swoop. It is even more necessary to raise a sum of silver from Liaodong.

That's as much as 100,000 taels.

The reason is simple.

First of all, in the Ming Dynasty, there is such a large amount of tens of thousands of taels, and almost no one can borrow it. In later generations, many people thought that tens of thousands of taels of silver were a small amount of money, but they didn't know that even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the price of silver plummeted, eighteen taels of silver was enough to raise a soldier.

The kind that can risk your life on the battlefield.

Tens of thousands of silver, if used in practice, is very powerful.

Legend has it that Sun Kewang entered Yunnan and was overjoyed to receive a tax of 70,000 taels from Yunnan to transport to Beijing, which immediately relieved the struggling Great Western Army. Rescued from the crisis.

With such a large amount, there are very few people who dare to borrow.

Secondly, the interest rate is too low.

Nine out of thirteen, almost a routine operation. The interest rate of 3% is also a very low interest rate now. That's why this happens, on the one hand, to reduce the cost of these people to borrow. After all, if borrowing in this era, the cost of capital for a year is beyond their burden.

On the other hand, many Liaodong officials felt that they didn't know when the matter of lending money would happen, so they didn't care.

So, that's what happened.

This made He Xi a little speechless, just to maintain the credit of the silver number. He could only let Fang Chengyun take advantage of this loophole, but then He Xi ordered to increase the interest to three points. Sure enough, there was no one to follow the trend.

It's not all about interest, either.

It is also a matter of decision-making.

Most maritime companies are not very difficult financially. Everyone has made money in recent years, and there are quite a few of them. So there is no financial pressure. It's just that I've borrowed some money to place an order. Not everyone has the money they need.

Before ordering, there were only a few of them, which were similar to Chen Zuxiao's calculations. Gave up. Most of them were kicked. In this case, follow the herd behavior and go back to explain. Today, however, most people hesitate. It's not going to be easy.

As for Fang Chengyun, he is a descendant of the Fang family. It's not the same as these housekeeper slaves.

So, what he wants to do, can be done.

All in all, apart from this little episode, everything went well.

This tossed down. Liaodong's capital chain can be regarded as straightening out. This year, only enough production can be completed to survive the most difficult year. Next year will be much easier.

After sending these people away, He Xi immediately ordered a big purchase. All the silver in the silver trumpet was brought out, and he went to Beiping, Shandong, and Goryeo to buy various raw materials. You can't wait for the raw materials of these maritime merchants. Production will be delayed.

The drought in the north is not as severe as in Shandong. The year is not good either. Selling grain is absolutely impossible. After all, the grain production has decreased, and the common people have to eat. How is it possible to sell grain, but cotton, hemp, and other things. But it is not necessarily impossible to procure.

It's going well together. He Xi is preparing to supervise large-scale production and inspect various factories. Be sure to complete the production task at the time. Suddenly, a piece of news came.

But it was Ye Wang who fell ill.

He Xi knew very well that Ye Wang had been sick for a while. If only I fell ill. I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to inform him at all. Then there is only one reason. That is, Ye Wang is not able to do it.

This is to be expected.

After all, Ye Wang's body has not been good since last year, and he is an elderly person. This sign is already obvious.

It's just that when he really met this day, He Xi was also very sad.

He Xi attaches great importance to Liaodong, on the one hand, it is the natural endowment of Liaodong, and on the other hand, it is Ye Wang's active approach to him. The two hit it off and became political allies. He Xi is unconditionally supportive of anything in Liaodong, and He Xi opened the mountain to pave the way and check and fill in the gaps.

Without Ye Wang, He Xi would not have done it so easily. I don't know how much trouble there is.

Do you really think that in the Ming Army, there are only noble classes of proud soldiers and warriors? The army that has always won the battle, whether it is above or below, is arrogant. Even if you are the king of heaven, there is no need to give you face. It is precisely because Ye Wang has been in charge of Liaodong for more than ten years that he first served as a deputy and then took over as the commander. It can be said that up and down in Liaodong, Ye Wang is the most familiar with it. It was precisely because Ye Wang communicated up and down and appeased the soldiers that nothing came out.

Although He Xi also had a great reward for Ye Wang. In the midst of the Great War I of Goryeo. Break the country and be knighted. Of course, the big head was occupied by the blue jade. But with a knighthood, Ye Wang is enough to change the court. Since then, he has become a member of the Ming Dynasty.

In the first battle of Goryeo, Ye Wang and Ha Thorn Buhua were both knighted, which was naturally a condition for He Xi's transaction with Lan Yu. Ye Wang is the uncle of Yizhou, and Ha Thorn Buhua is the uncle of Zhongzhou.
