Lord of the House

Although he felt that Lin Bie had concealed something about Huaidong's annual military expenditure, Gu Wuchen felt a little uncomfortable. He told Zhao Qinmin, but he just complained. When he was there, he asked Zhao Qinmin, "What do you think of Huaidong's money bank? Is it reliable or not?"

When it was time to say goodbye, Zhao Qinmin wouldn't tell the truth, but when he heard Gu Wuchen complaining and was dissatisfied with Lin Fu, he thought of adding more firewood quietly and said, "There are two things in running a bank. For the grain merchant. It is a good thing to issue a flying ticket to facilitate the settlement of silver money; it seems that there is some problem with giving out printed money to the refugees to reclaim wasteland..."

"What's the problem?" Gu Wuchen asked suspiciously, "This is good governance anyway!"

"It's good for Huaidong, but not good for Qianzhuang," Zhao Qinmin said. "The prospect given by Huaidong is to reclaim 500,000 mu of wasteland in four years, and it is planned to resettle 30,000 displaced households... The land reclamation spreads across the two prefectures of Huaidong. In a county, how many people does the bank need to invest in order to put the printed money into the hands of the displaced households? It is necessary to receive the money and interest from so many displaced households in time every year, and finally to ensure that the principal is recovered, how many people must be invested There are too many people invested, and only the expenses of working and food, foot expenses, store money, food money, and mule money are surprisingly high. If the interest rate is set low, there will be no profit at all. If the interest rate is set high However, the displaced households cannot afford to pay the money and interest only by reclaiming the wasteland and farming the land. In the end, they are procrastinating. Huai'an finally settled down the displaced households, so how could they condone the Qianzhuang to force the displaced households to demand debts and cause public grievances?"

When Zhao Qinmin served as a staff member to Wang Xueshan, he specialized in the management of money and grain, and he also put money in print.

Hearing Zhao Qinmin's analysis, Gu Wuchen really felt that it was reasonable, but he didn't take it seriously, and said, "It's good for Huaidong, and the matter of Qianzhuang is still worth doing..."

"It's easy to get people in, but after the first year, the bank can't make a profit, and people who invest in banking stocks will want to quit. Then the conflict will be big, and Huaidong may not be able to control it." Zhao Qinmin said.

Gu Wuchen didn't care much about the damage to the interests of the merchants, but it was just that many Dongyang Township parties were the foundation for him to gain a firm foothold in Jiangning, and he had to consider their interests for them. If all the money from the Dongyang Township Party was tricked into Huaidong, it would be difficult for him to find someone to raise money.

Gu Wuchen thought for a while, and said, "We can't drag Huaidong's back, but it's up to everyone to consider the pros and cons. Let's not push anything... How much money is there in the house?"

"The Qingzhou side just brought back a sum of money, and there are 240,000 taels of silver in the silver cellar." Zhao Qinmin replied.

"The silver may be of great use if you keep it; for the bank's affairs, I'll take out 40,000 taels of silver here. Too little won't look good..."

*************

Lin Fu returned to Jiyunju, from the moon to the middle of the sky.

Lin Meng also came into the city at night. The main purpose of their trip to Jiangning was to pull as much as possible from the Dongyang Township Party and put their money into the bank. So no matter how tired he is at the latest, Lin Mengde has to meet with Lin Bing once a day to report the latest situation.

Jiyunju and Baiyuan are connected by a door. Lin Fu lives in Jiyunju at night, so naturally he wants to meet Su Mei.

When passing by the West Wing Courtyard, Lin Fu's mind flew over when he heard Xiaoman and Su Mei talking in the room, but he still had to talk to Lin Mengde first.

"In the afternoon, Yongchang Hou's Mansion and Fan's family also sent people," Lin Mengde told Lin Fu about Yuan Jinsheng and Fan Ding's visit to Hekou Thatched Cottage in the afternoon, "As for the bank, let them not get involved. ?"

"I don't think it's too much money!" Lin Fu said, "If the Marquis of Yongchang wants to get involved, we don't have any reason to turn them away. They play their tricks, and they don't need to pay attention to what they have at this time. As long as If Huaidong can have a solid foundation in two or three years, and can afford to support 100,000 elites, the so-called scheming will be eclipsed!"

Lin Mengde said: "The She family has a foundation of nearly two hundred years in Jin'an. Together, the eight clan powers control a small mouth and a territory comparable to Huaidong, and there are only 100,000 elites. If you say such an ambition, Probably no one will believe it!"

Lin Bie smiled and said nothing.

Gu Wuchen's face was hesitant, and the smile on Lin Bing's face also narrowed, thinking: Although it is Weng son-in-law, he can't trust Huaidong.

In Lin Bie's eyes, Dayue Chao was terminally ill and had no cure, but Gu Wuchen didn't necessarily think so. Although he fought fiercely with Zhang Yue and others, he still wanted to be a minister of ZTE in the Yue Dynasty based on his fundamental political ambition. In this regard, Gu Wuchen is very similar to Tang Haoxin. Compared with Li Zhuolai, Tang and Gu are more slick and pragmatic, and of course they also have selfishness that they cannot give up.

Lin Fu can clearly know and plan the path Huaidong will take, but he can't see the choices that Gu Wuchen will have; if he wants to part ways in the end, how will Jun Xun handle himself?

Thinking of this, Lin Bie also felt a headache, thinking that the worst might not happen.

Lin Mengde knew that Su Mei was waiting here, and after discussing the most important things, he said goodbye and left.

Lin Fu walked into the West Wing Courtyard, and the old woman was waiting outside, but she was too tired and was dozing off against the corridor. When Lin Fu walked in, he woke up suddenly, and hurriedly bowed and greeted him, but it disturbed Xiaoman and Su Mei who were talking in the room.

Just as Lin Fu was about to push the door into the house, Xiaoman came out with light clothes, stopped him from the door, and said, "Why did you come back? My sister and I have both slept, so stay away from the house!"

"I'll go in and talk!" Lin Bie took Xiaoman's hand, hugged her slender waist, and squeezed in through the crack of the door.

Su Mei and Xiaoman were already lying down. The weather was hot, and they only wore close-fitting clothes. When she heard Lin Bie come over, she took a piece of clothing and wrapped it around her shoulders. She bent her legs and sat on the carved bed, looking at Lin Bie with a smile. He came in with Xiaoman in his arms and asked, "Why did you come back so late?" With a gentle expression, she was like a wife waiting for her husband to come back.

Lin Bie leaned against the dressing table and wanted to hug Xiaoman in his arms, but Xiaoman jumped onto the bed first and was with Su Meiyi. Lin Fu said: "The imperial court wants to abolish the two governors of Zhejiang, set up the envoys of the northern Zhejiang system, and merge the Pingjiang Prefecture into its jurisdiction. Dong Yuan is the right servant of the Jiangning Military Department and leads the northern Zhejiang system. Who is this? I didn't expect that it would take a lot of time to discuss this matter alone."

"Isn't that bad for Huaidong?" Su Mei asked.

"There are advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to see the clues for a while," Lin Fu said, "but Yongchang Hou's mansion today has the will to establish a good relationship with Huaidong..."

"The death of Duke Tang..." Su Mei asked hesitantly.

Lin Bie turned his eyes to the candlelight, sighed slightly, and said, "The Marquis of Yongchang and the Liang family should have different plans. It's nothing more than a conspiracy. Besides, whether the grievances of Sumen can be resolved, Marquis Yongchang is the key..."

At this moment, the sound of soldiers and armors suddenly sounded in the yard. In the quiet night, Su Mei and Xiaoman both sat up in shock. Lin Fu opened the door and watched the chief guard Chen Hua face wearing armor and bringing a knife into the yard. Come, Shen Sheng asked: "What's going on?"

"In front of the call, there are three heavy-loaded carriages coming towards Dustpan Alley. Lord Wu ordered the alert to be raised to the first level!"

"Explore again!" Lin Fu said, "Let the civilian staff in the front yard gather here!"

"What happened?" Su Mei and Xiaoman hurriedly put on their clothes, and when they saw the swords and halberds in the yard, they came over and asked as if the enemy was approaching.

"Maybe it was a false alarm!" Lin Fu said, snuffing out the candle in the room.

The guard brought his armor, Lin Fu stood at the door and put on the armor, asking Su Mei and Xiaoman to stay in the room.

Si Niangzi and Lin Mengde came to the yard one after another, and Su Mei couldn't care about the shyness of being alone in a room with Lin Fu late at night for outsiders to meet, and greeted Lin Mengde.

Zhou Pu led the main force of cavalry to be stationed outside the city, and Lin Fumingli only brought more than a hundred cavalry guards into the city. The guard team is headed by Chen Hualian, but the actual guard work is secretly presided over by the crow Wu Qi. In addition to a group of people who secretly guarded Su Mei, dozens of sentries were sent to Jiangning City a few days in advance.

Three heavy-loaded carriages can fit fifty or sixty soldiers. Although there are nearly two hundred guards outside Jiyunju, it is still very dangerous if the other party accidentally approaches and launches a surprise attack!

After a while, Chen Hualian hurried over from the front yard, took a greeting card, and replied, "It's Mr. Zeng who is here..."

Lin Fu was stunned for a moment, and Su Mei looked at each other. What was the reason for Mr. Zeng singing this play late at night? He also brought in three heavy-duty carriages, which caused a false alarm here.

Lin Fu hurriedly took off his armor, and went out with Lin Mengde to welcome Zeng Mingxin in; Su Mei and Xiaoman also hurried in to fix their clothes.

Compared with the last time we met, Zeng Mingxin was much older, and his beard was mostly white. Under the lamp, he also had faint age spots on his face. Besides the old housekeeper, there was also a twenty-something who followed him into Jiyunju. Young people of five or six years old, dressed up with entourage.

"The grandfather of the country is looking for me for something, so send someone to tell me, why is the grandfather of the country tired late at night?" Lin Fuchang said with a salute.

"Don't look at me in the position of the prince, I usually look majestic, and sometimes I can't help myself when I do things, so I can only sneak in late at night," Zeng Mingxin shook his head and laughed at himself, "You don't waste your time, you If I want to open a bank in Huaidong, I can’t say anything else. There are 180,000 taels of silver in the car. You can find someone to move in. This money is also saved one after another~www.wuxiaspot.com~I want to find it Here's a chance for you. Since Huaidong wants to set up a bank, it would be better..."

"This..." Lin Bie was quite puzzled.

Zeng Mingxin saw the doubts in Lin Bing's eyes, sighed slightly, and said, "I'm old, and I haven't been able to jump up in a few years. In a few days, the affairs of the house will be completely left to the juniors to take care of. , maybe I can live a few more years of comfort in this chaotic world..."

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. After hearing what Zeng Mingxin said, Lin Fu could understand a thing or two.

Because of the Sumen case, Mu Guogong's mansion has been suppressed by Yongchanghou mansion in Jiangning city for more than ten years. He is also a dignitary in Jiangning City, but he has to be suppressed by Yongchang Hou's mansion, and there will be deep grievances within Mu Guogong's mansion.

These grievances are not only directed against the Yongchang Houfu, but to a large extent they are also dissatisfied with the head of the family, Zeng Mingxin.

Duke Mu is a hereditary noble, and the position of the prince and the future Duke of the country is designated to be inherited by the eldest son, which Zeng Mingxin himself cannot change.

The dissatisfaction within Mu Guogong's mansion is getting deeper and deeper, and naturally it will also cause differences and conflicts between the old and new generations.

Zeng Mingxin sent money over late at night, not only to hide from outsiders, but also from the people in Mu Guogong's mansion.

The Duke of Mu's mansion has been honored for over two hundred years. Even if his children live a luxurious life, their savings will be very deep. It's just that in the past ten years, the Marquis of Yongchang has been crushed everywhere, and many industries have suffered a lot. It is not easy to take out 180,000 taels of silver at a time. If Zeng Mingxin publicly invested 180,000 taels of silver into the Huaidong Bank, the outside would arouse the vigilance of Yongchang Hou Yuanguizheng and others, and the internal resistance of Mu Guogong's mansion would be enormous.

Lin Fu took a step back, bowed to Zeng Ming's new leader, and said, "Xiao Lin Fu, thank you for your righteousness!" My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
