Chapter Seventy-Three: The Demon of the East Pit
"Of course." William didn't know why Ji Ping was interested in Dongwei, so he nodded, "Dongwu is undergoing a revolution and needs a lot of financial support. But they have already borrowed a lot of money, and even the customs have mortgaged it. Mr. Ji, I advise you not to think about them, they are very risky. ”
Risk? It's just a total of 60,000 yuan, what risk can Ji Ping have?
"That's it! Dongwa, I'll take out a loan! Ji Ping smiled, "Contact them immediately and resolve the matter as soon as possible." ”
Seeing that Ji Ping had made a decision, William said no more, and said with a smile: "No problem, the Dongwei people have been waiting, and they can be rushed over in the afternoon." ”
Ji Ping nodded, just wait for a few hours, he still has this time.
The two happily reached an agreement, and set the place for the afternoon meeting at Mayor Xu's house.
After eating, Xu Qianzhong warmly invited Ji Ping to come to his house as a guest, and his wife and son waited outside the door early.
"Ji Ping has seen Madame." Mrs. Xu looks to be about forty years old, about the same age as Ji Ping's mother, and he will not be rude.
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's really an honor for my Xu family to come here." Mrs. Xu said goodbye and hurriedly asked her son to salute.
"The little nephew has seen Uncle Ji." Xu Ming, thirteen or fourteen years old, knelt on the ground with a pop and kowtowed three times.
Ji Ping was startled and helped Xu Ming up from the ground: "This gift is too heavy, I can't afford it." ”
"Afford it!" Xu Qianzhong said with a smile, quite satisfied with his son's performance, "In the future, you will be his uncle, if there is any disobedience, you can deal with it at will." ”
Ji Ping glanced at Xu Qianzhong, if it weren't for his fanatical followers, he was very suspicious of the other party's purpose.
Xu Ming, like Xu Qianzhong, looks like a scholar, his body is weak, and although he looks dignified, he always feels a little dazed.
As an uncle, Ji Ping couldn't be empty-handed, took out a Linggu from his arms and handed it to Xu Ming: "I didn't bring a gift either, I'll give you this gadget." ”
"Thank you, uncle." Xu Ming respectfully took over the golden Linggu, a little curious.
Xu Qianzhong's eyes lit up, although he didn't know what it was, but he seemed to know that it must be a baby.
"Eat it and try it." Ji Ping said with a smile.
Xu Ming looked at his father, nodded, and put Linggu into his mouth.
Xu Qianzhong looked at his son expectantly, as if hoping for a miracle.
A hot breath rose, and Xu Ming felt as if a small sun had appeared in his body, scorching his internal organs. But it's a very comfortable feeling, and it's amazing.
Xu Ming's reaction was not big, even the second dog was not as good as them, but in Ji Ping's eyes, it was completely different.
Thinking of this, Ji Ping took out another Linggu and gave it to Xu Ming: "Eat another one." ”
Xu Ming ate another one, and it felt similar to just now.
The two spirit valleys were in his stomach, and Xu Qianzhong was a little flustered: "Patriarch, there is nothing wrong with my son's body, right?" ”
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu also looked at Ji Ping nervously.
Ji Ping said with a smile: "No problem, Xu Ming's body is very good!" It's a pity ......"
"What a pity?" Mrs. Xu hurriedly asked.
"If you're older, you'll be a good seedling for cultivation." Ji Ping said.
Mrs. Xu was happy when she heard this: "Uncle said that it was funny, my son naturally wants to study and gain fame, how can he practice." ”
Xu Qianzhong's heart was moved, he glared at his wife, and reprimanded: "Women, what are you talking about!" You let me in! ”
Mrs. Xu was stunned, not knowing that her words had made the master angry. But she didn't dare to disobey Xu Duzhong's intentions, and walked into the backyard in disdain.
After Mrs. Xu left, Xu Qianzhong pulled Xu Ming and knelt directly on the ground.
"Patriarch Renxin, please accept my son as a disciple! My Xu family is the head of the horse, and I am willing to attach the tail wing! ”
Has Mrs. Xu ever seen flying away? No. But Xu Qianzhong has seen it!
What kind of money and power, in the face of absolute strength, there is no fart, if his son has Ji Ping's current strength, who would dare to say a word if he finds a place to proclaim himself king?
With long hair and short knowledge, Xu Qianzhong is not as knowledgeable as his wife.
What's more, there is no conflict between cultivation and reading.
Ji Ping hesitated a little when he saw this, Xu Ming's qualifications must be very good, after all, he hadn't seen anyone who could take two Spirit Valleys. But he has only been in the Tao for more than a month, and he really has no experience as a disciple.
"Mayor Xu, you have thought about it, I have a lot of enemies, and when I enter the Ji family, I am afraid that I will not be at peace for the rest of my life." Ji Ping took a precautionary shot.
"If only you told me to be faithful." Mayor Xu smiled, "Being able to practice with you is a blessing that my son has gained for several lifetimes. ”
Xu Ming was a little puzzled and a little ignorant, he had never seen his father respect a person so much, even in the face of the county respect, he was neither humble nor arrogant, this Uncle Ji, where is it sacred?
"Okay, I'll take Xu Ming." Ji Ping nodded and said, "He will go back to Jijia Village with me, and he will not be allowed to return home on weekdays." ”
"No problem!" Xu Zhen was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to his son, "Tomorrow I will come to the door with all my loyalty, so as to thank my teacher on behalf of my son." ”
Xu Ming had a master in such a daze, but he didn't know what the master was capable of.
In the afternoon, William came with the East Demon, Mayor Xu accompanied him, and Xu Ming stood respectfully behind Ji Ping.
A teacher for one day and a father for life, in this world, the master is more important than the father. In fact, it can be said that from this moment on, Xu Ming's first elder has become Ji Ping.
"Mr. Ji, the envoy of the Lower East Japanese Envoy Saburo Okamoto, has long admired the Daimyo!" As soon as the East Demon came in, he bowed ninety degrees to Ji Ping, very respectful.
Ji Ping nodded slightly and motioned for the other party to sit down.
Xu Ming really looked at it from behind, the East Demon is usually very arrogant and domineering, why is he so humble in front of his master? And he's a big official!
William was in the center and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji is busy with official business, let's make a long story short, what do you two think?" ”
"Hey, no problem." Saburo Okamoto nodded violently.
Ji Ping naturally had no objection, leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "Mr. Okamoto, I can lend you money, but I heard that you don't seem to have enough collateral. ”
"No, Mr. Ji, this is a rumor!" Saburo Okamoto flatly denied it, "I have a lot of resources, as long as you open your mouth, you will be able to collect enough collateral, and please be sure to lend us this money!" ”
Ji Ping sneered in his heart, the land and the vast resources didn't seem to have anything to do with Dongwei.
"My request is also simple, as long as gold, silver, minerals, women, grain, and nothing else, at least 30% of the collateral." Ji Ping said.
After hearing Ji Ping's words, Saburo Okamoto's face was ugly, as if he was constipated.
"Mr. Ji, is there more than thirty percent? The credibility of Dongwei is still okay, I think, two percent is about the same, right? William knew at a glance that Okamoto couldn't take it out, so he played a round game.
But Saburo Okamoto's face was still ugly: "Issei! Mr. Ji, we can provide you with a 10% mortgage! Dongwei and your country are a strip of water, friendly from generation to generation, please believe in our sincerity! ”
One percent mortgage? Ji Ping really wanted to splash the tea on the other party's face, and he also said it, don't you know what the situation is now?
