Lord of the House

182,000 silver, more than 11,000 catties, divided into three carriages, each carriage plus its own weight, more than 4,000 catties.

Four strong horses and a carriage, with a load of nearly forty stone, ran over the ruts on the paved road, making a rattling sound. In this world, it must be regarded as a heavy-duty carriage. This kind of car can only travel on paved roads in the city, and it takes a penny more horsepower to walk on hard dirt roads; when it rains, the road becomes muddy, and it is even more squatting - at this time, it caused Jiyunju to be falsely alarmed. field.

In the south, the rivers are dense, and there are many boats and few cars. However, it is strange to say that in the north of the multi-purpose vehicle, there are only two-wheeled mules and horses with axles in the center of the body.

Regardless of the load capacity, only considering the stability, the four-wheel structure is far stronger than the two-wheel. It's just that the four-wheeled carriage is more complicated than a two-wheeled vehicle by simply adding a pair of wheels.

Lin Fu intends to abolish the sedan chair that better reflects the sense of official status. Last year, he offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver in Chongzhou to ask craftsmen from all over the world to build four-wheeled vehicles.

The young supervisor of Sitian, Jiang Yuechun, later sent a set of drawings, and the decent people from Chongzhou sent them to try to make them according to the drawings. In short, there is no rush for this kind of thing. Don't expect to be able to compete in one go. It may take two or three generations of accumulation before the technology matures.

Since it was a false alarm, the guard here was naturally removed and the normal night guards resumed; Lin Mengde directed the manpower to move the sealed silver box into the yard.

There is a lot of silver to talk about, but one official ingot weighs fifty taels, ten in one, ten in one box, and only thirty-six boxes of silver. The two moved a box, and in the blink of an eye, they all moved to the front yard and put them away, and then moved to the mouth of the Jinchuan River after dawn.

Lin Fu asked Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin to come into the room to speak, and Su Mei and Xiaoman also came out to greet him, and stood aside to make tea and serve.

Su Mei was also shy. She stayed overnight, but she didn't get close to Xiao Man for a long time, but when outsiders bumped into it, it meant something completely different. Zeng Mingxin is very kind to the Su family. Su Mei can't hide from her. No matter how generous she usually is, she will be ashamed now.

After a while, Lin Mengde came in with the deed, stood beside him, and said respectfully, "I have to let the old man know that there are two ways for the bank to raise money. The silver deed is issued as a certificate. This silver deed is made in triplicate, and both the bank and the Huaidong military division have to verify. The principal cannot be recovered except for the deed of the bank, but the deed of silver, like the deed of the house and the land, can be resold to others, just report to the bank and the Huaidong Military Division. The second method is to deposit Entering the bank to eat money interest, the annual interest is tentatively set at 6 cents, and will be adjusted according to the situation in the future, which may be higher or lower. One day counts as one day, it can be settled once a year, and it can be settled at the end of the day when the cash is withdrawn!”

Zeng Mingxin didn't rush to take the deed, and asked Lin Fu sideways, "You eat the money and interest, do you calculate it according to the price of the land?"

"The old man's eyes are very vicious," Lin Fu said with a smile. "The bank business is the first time. There are many details that are difficult to figure out in a while. Right now, we can only try it out according to the field..."

"There are frequent wars in other counties, and many people gather in Jiangning to avoid disasters," Zeng Mingxin sighed. "No matter how rich your family is, if you stay in the city and don't do business, you will still be sitting on the mountain. Buying farmland for rent or putting money in print to eat interest, They are all old ways to maintain the family business. Many people are only clinging to the old, rigid and unchangeable, only Huaidong can innovate the old ways and bring forth new ideas, and this is the atmosphere of a great cause! Others are not as good as Huaidong..."

Lin Bie smiled, no one could discuss this topic in depth with anyone.

When wars broke out frequently, a large amount of land was abandoned in other counties, but the situation in Jiangning has been stable, and a large number of wealthy households have poured in, causing the price of land to rise again and again. The best ripe fields can't be bought for 134 taels of silver. Compared with Lin Fu's first entry into Jiangning, the price of the fields has more than doubled.

The landowners in Jiangning City are seldom run by their own households, and more of them buy their fields and hand them over to the rent collection warehouses. If you buy land and collect rent, you can get up to 6% profit in good times.

The establishment of a bank in Huaidong is a new thing, but many characteristics of the bank can be found in the existing things such as rent collection, printing money, and flying tickets in the warehouse. These are the real grounds for the newly established banks. If any new thing is to be successful, it cannot be a castle in the air.

Even without Lin Bing's push, in the next few years, on the basis of rent collection warehouses, printed money, and freight warehouse tickets, the circulation of commodities will further prosper, and institutions similar in nature to banks will spontaneously appear.

"This money will not be used for a while, but it is still used as principal," Zeng Mingxin said. With his old-fashioned eyes, he also knew that Huaidong Bank needed more principal. After all, the money invested in the money interest is unstable. Once the Huaidong army suffers a defeat, the people who eat the money interest will be like the macaques scattered by the tree, and they will not be in a hurry to leave Huaidong. Not counting Huaidong's foundation, he said to Lin Mengde again, "Dream, you will give me another silver deed. Su Mei is a girl who doesn't know how to be frugal at ordinary times. I want to leave her a dowry!"

Lin Fu and others could never have imagined that the old grandfather would have such an arrangement. Su Mei and Xiaoman knelt down together, moved to tears, and choked up and said, "The grandfather has a great kindness to Sumen, this kindness. , Su Mei and her sister will never forget, and dare not bear more..."

"Silly girl, get up and talk," Zeng Mingxin said with emotion, "I and your father have a heart-to-heart, but your Su family has been hacked, I can't do anything, I regret it in my heart. I feel better. This silver deed is what I owe you to the Su family. There is also a silver deed..."

Zeng Mingxin turned his head and said to Lin Fu: "The Dayue Dynasty is already terminally ill. At the time of Emperor Qingyu, there was still a chance for ZTE. Once Chen Tangyi was defeated, his vitality was completely damaged. Now the north side is supported by Li Zhuo alone. , there are countless people pulling his hind legs, how can he hold on? It's a pity that the juniors don't know how high the sky is, and all day long I feel like an old man, half of the ground has a rotten smell, and I still don't make way for the juniors. - I'm also leaving a way out for them."

Lin Fu sighed in his heart that the eunuchs are noble and there are many moths, but there are also people like Zeng Mingxin who can clearly see the world situation. For them, the status of Spyker's dignitary is a kind of restraint, so that they have no chance to make achievements, but can only be silent in the world. Just like Yuan returning to politics, he is also unwilling to be lonely.

At first, Lin Fu still couldn't figure out what Yuan Guizheng was so active and what he was trying to do; on the contrary, Emperor Chongguan sent King Ning out of Zhenjiang East, intending to make King Ning his heir, so he vaguely guessed something.

Lin Fu stood up, walked to Su Mei, knelt down to Zeng Mingxin together, and said, "Boy Lin Fu and Su Mei thank the prince for the dowry!"

Su Mei tugged at Lin Bie's shirt and glared at him angrily; Xiaoman smiled with tears still hanging on his face.

Zeng Mingxin stroked his silver beard, laughed loudly, and accepted the gift from Lin Fu calmly.

When Lin Fu, Su Mei, and Xiaoman got up and sat down again, Zeng Mingxin asked the young man to come with him, walked over to him, and said, "Chengsi, come here and make a kowtow to the envoy of Zhizhi, and you will go to Chongzhou later. It's up to the envoy to take care of it! But remember, you must abide by Huaidong's rules!" He told Lin Fu, "In this world, if there are still people I can't be sorry for, it's Chengen and his mother. In a few days , I will completely let go of the matter, Chengen will not be comfortable staying in Jiangning, let him take his wife and children to Chongzhou with you..."

Lin Bie nodded, and generously accepted Zeng Chengen's kowtow.

Lin Mengde quickly took another silver deed and came over. Standing beside him, he had to admire the grandfather's bearing. Looking at this young man named Zeng Chengen, he is not one of the sons of Zeng Mansion, but he looks exactly like Zeng Mingxin.

The illegitimate sons of the maid and the favorite concubine are not as good as the sons of concubines. Once the title is inherited by the eldest son, or Zeng Mingxin passes away, it is difficult to ensure that the conflicts between the houses will not intensify; the competition for family property is even more **** and cruel.

Zeng Mingxin's move is also to arrange a retreat for the Zeng family, and eggs cannot always be put in one basket.

Before coming to Jiangning, Lin Fu and Lin Mengde set a goal, which was to raise one million taels of silver from Jiangning to set up a bank in Huaidong.

Before leaving, Lin Mengde felt that this goal was extremely difficult. Even the Lin family did not make it clear how much money they would take out~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Who would have thought of going to Jiangning for the second night, not under consideration? The two, Yongchang Houfu and Muguo Gongfu, were the first to express their support for Huaidong to set up a bank, and all of a sudden they collected so much money.

From this point of view, it is no longer difficult to raise one million taels of silver from Jiangning.

Zeng Mingxin took the silver deed from Lin Mengde, in triplicate, two sets of six sheets. He spread the silver deed on the table and filled it out with a pen and ink. 180,000 taels of silver, divided into two, one for the deed owner to fill in Zeng Chengen, and the other for the deed owner to fill in Su Mei. Lin Mengde also had a seal specially made for Huaidong Bank and a small seal that Lin Bie carried with him.

This is the matter, Zeng Mingxin also took Zeng Chengen to leave first.

Lin Mengde also returned to the front yard to rest, leaving Lin Fu to face Su Mei and Xiaoman under the candle.

Su Mei felt all kinds of emotions in her heart, stuck in her throat and couldn't say it, she squeezed the silver deed that was not dry yet in tender white hands, and sighed: "The Su family has too much love, this silver deed is really not worth it. should have taken it..."

"That's right, that's right," Xiaoman's tears were still hanging on his face, but he was in a happy mood, and he echoed, "unlike some people, they forget everything when they see Yinzi, but my sister hasn't agreed to marry him yet. , which door did he knock on?"

For Xiaoman's trouble, Su Meifan's face immediately flushed with shame, and she glanced at Lin Bie, seeing that he was staring at her, she turned her eyes away in a panic, as if resigning her fate, The silver deed threw it in front of Lin Bing, and said angrily: "You have nothing to say, but I can't say goodbye? I can only trouble you to take care of this silver deed!"

Lin Bian smiled and took the silver deed and folded it. Only a few people know about the Sumen case, but Jun Xun doesn't know that the silver deed with Su Mei as the main deed cannot be put into the internal treasury, so Xiaoman can only keep it first.
