Chapter 57 Opportunities of the Marquis of Xiangyang

The Office of the Internal Affairs Office,

Dai Quan sat there and savored the fragrant tea carefully, saying with a smile;

"Just let them know that you will write three IOUs immediately, first use the Interior Office's Grand Inuca seal and then send it to the Hou Mansion. If Mrs. Yang agrees, sign and seal it."

Manager Wang nodded and suddenly asked;

"Inner Prime Minister, what if Mrs. Yang disagrees."

"Oh, I forgot that Mrs. Yang is an introduction. She will cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue to act. After the matter is completed, these industries can be given to her. His Majesty also said that she would give her some dowry. Do you understand?"

"I really want to send it all. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is looking forward to the industry's investment in recent years. How much is the right one to send it?"

"Well, I'll give it most of it first. If it's really not possible, you can just sell one or two places symbolically. Don't look at the girl who is careless and difficult to deal with. You must ask the Hou Mansion to promise to help you. You can repay it after borrowing it. Remember, don't make any mistakes for me. I'm waiting here to reply, go."

Manager Wang stared at the scene after hearing this. It was a waste of money. He heard the intentional explanation from the minister behind him and immediately replied seriously;

"Don't worry, the small ones will definitely do it."

Manager Wang of the Internal Affairs Office took the three IOUs written and printed them and handed them to Dai Quan for a look. Dai Quan nodded after reading them. After seeing them, Eunuch Wang collected the IOUs and took people straight to the Luoyun Marquis' Mansion.

Bai Shaofeng, the third master of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion who pretended to have stomachache, ran out of the Interior Government Office, immediately straightened up and jumped into the carriage, shouting at the servant;

"Hurry, idiot, come back to the Marquis' Mansion quickly, there is something important."

"Yes, Master San."

Bai Shaofeng, the third master of the Marquis of Xiangyang, was extremely excited and uneasy. What does this court mean? Which nobles and aristocrats in the entire court have not borrowed money? How much money has it been after decades? What should I do? My share is going to be less. Let’s see what my elder brother said. My parents are no longer unable to discuss it. Alas.

I was nervous all the way, and finally returned to the Marquis' Mansion, hurriedly ran into the mansion, and arrived at the gate.

Asked to the concierge;

"Where is my elder brother?"

"The third master is back, the master is in the study room and,"

Before the doorman could finish his conversation, Bai Shaofeng raised his legs and ran away.

The servant in the concierge was still shouting;

"Slow down, the second lady will go back to the door today and talk to the master in the study."

Bai Shaofeng ran directly into the study room in the southeast corner of the inner courtyard and directly hit it into the study room, which scared his second sister and his little nephew so scared that he cried.

When Hou Baiguangju saw it, she frowned and shouted;

"Third brother, why are you still so fucking like that? You have been out of the house and can't change your bad habits."

"That's right, you see, scared your nephew, O, don't cry, don't cry."

Bai Shaofeng saw that his second sister and his nephew were there, and the child was still crying loudly, and he was at a loss.

"I'm sorry, my second sister, I'm also anxious. Something happened to happen to happen to me. My second sister is here. After we discussed with the three of us, I feel that the court is going to be in turmoil."

Hou Baiguangju, Xiangyang, had his face changed after hearing the third brother's words. He knew that although his third brother was rough, he would never be confused about major issues, so he asked;

"What a big deal? Didn't you go to the Interior Office to buy industrial inputs?"

The third brother Bai Shaofeng didn't say anything, and turned around and closed the door of the study room, then walked back to the desk and said;

"Yes, I heard from the Office of the Interior. It was said by Dai Nei, the chief of the Office of the Interior. It would be fine. Brother, I'll drink a little water first."

Bai Shaofeng directly picked up the eldest brother's tea and drank it, and dried it in one breath.

"How fast are you running? So thirsty, drink slowly."

Second sister Bai Wenyao gave her a carefree advice.

"Thank you, my second sister, it's okay."

"No hurry, you continue to say whether it is the court or the civil servant, or our nobles."

The eldest brother Bai Guangju waited for the third brother to drink tea and asked calmly.

"Brother and second sister, it's not. It's about the entire nobles and officials of the aristocratic family. The civil servants have not left behind this time. I'm not going to the Interior Office to buy some industrial inputs. Who knows that Mrs. Yang of the Luoyun Hou Mansion also wants to buy it, and she must choose it first before I can choose it."

My second sister Bai Wenyao had heard of Mrs. Yang. She had been so glorious during this period and was so amazing. Why did she have any trouble with her? She interrupted her;

"Third brother, this is nothing, right? You can buy it if you buy it. Her man, Luo Yunhou, Zhang Jinyu, made contributions in the border area, and it is also appropriate to take care of her."

The boss nodded and expressed his agreement. I myself can't compare to the weight of Zhang Jinyu, the Marquis of Luoyun. He is the Marquis of Real Power.

"No, brother, second sister, this is not the point. The point is that she wants to buy all the industries that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has taken this year."

"Ah, this is too rich. Mrs. Yang is amazing. Could it be that Mrs. Yang contacted Mr. Zhang Jinyu of Pingyang and asked him for it?"

The eldest son Bai Guangju was also surprised;

"This is indeed a big deal. Wen Yao said that it is impossible to contact Mr. Zhang. The imperial court documents have just been posted. How can I contact him so far? I can't go to the urgent line. But the third brother is fine?"

"Brother, can I let me finish it? This is not the point. The point is that Mrs. Yang has no money. She also wants to ask the court to borrow money and buy the industry."

Bai Wenyao thought about this abnormality. Who had never borrowed money from the court and wanted to say something that was stopped by the elder brother's eyes, and the latter swallowed the words again.

"continue."

"Then it should be the inner minister who should have told the emperor about this and agreed to borrow silver, but if there are conditions for borrowing money, the conditions will change."

When the eldest brother Bai Guangju heard this, his pupils shrank, and he knew what the third brother was going to say. The emperor wanted to pay the loan or clean up old accounts. When his parents left, he said that this matter would break out, but he didn't know when it broke out.

"The internal minister said that the loan should be interest, settled in one year, the loan will be up to 5 years, and there will be a loan limit. The Luoyun Hou Mansion can borrow 1 million taels of silver, so no matter how much it is, the right interest is 30 yuan."

After hearing this, my second sister Bai Wenyao's face changed, no, right?

"The third brother can't talk nonsense. You know, the nobles and civil servants of the aristocratic families all over the capital."

"Second sister, I dare not talk nonsense. The inner minister said it by himself, and asked Manager Wang to write an IOU to go to the mansion of Zhang Jinyu, the mansion of the Marquis of Luoyun. It should have been to sign and seal it with Mrs. Yang."

"What should I do with this, brother?"

"What the third brother said should be true. First, he sent someone to stare at the mansion of Zhang Jinyu, the mansion of Luoyun Marquis, to see if the prince has gone there, and whether there is such a thing. Second, he should settle the amount of cash in his own Marquis' property and calculate the amount of money owed by the Marquis' Mansion in Xiangyang."

"Brother, I just heard that I can really make us pay back the money, but I didn't say anything."

Bai Wenyao looked disbelief, but when she heard that she wanted the Marquis' Mansion to pay, she was unwilling to do so. So many people owed money, and the court would not make a fuss if it chased her tightly.

The third brother didn't think so and directly interfered;

"Second sister, the inner minister also said that if you can't afford to pay for your family property and official titles."

"This, alright."

Bai Guangju is not afraid. His parents also left behind the money they borrowed and could pay them back at any time, but they didn't expect the interest.

"First calculate the money I owe. I remember it is as much as 1.5 million taels, you can calculate the interest."

"Absolutely, I remember that after the separation, I borrowed 1.5 million taels of IOU in the warehouse one after another. It has been almost 20 years. It costs 30 per year. The interest rate is more than 45,000 taels per year. In 20 years, it is more than 900,000 taels. My God."

After the second sister finished counting, the third and eldest brother were also stunned. There were too many of them.

"Second sister, you're not wrong, why are there so many?"

"I'll do it again, that's right, that's just that much, this adds up to 2.4 million taels of principal and interest."

The eldest son Bai Guangju was silent. Who would have thought that today would regret it?

"Brother, you are talking, what should I do?"

The boss also smiled bitterly.

"What can I do? If something happens, the tall man will hold on. At worst, I will take off my clothes."

"I'm still so poor. My elder brother must not lose his title, otherwise our Bai family will be over. My third family and I have taken so much, let me tell you first. I will pay 300,000 taels of taels from my dowry and give it to the Marquis' Mansion first. What do you say, "

"It's still a question. I'm going to buy the property and I'll give it to my elder brother first. Brother, see how much I'm missing, so I can't sell the property."

"Can you talk about this first? You can't sell your property. That's all the investment is more than 300,000 taels of silver a year."

"Okay, I know that your money is indeed needed by the Marquis' Mansion. It's the big brother who borrowed it, and I have the interest. I'll write the IOU."

Bai Guangju wrote two IOUs and stamped them with the seal of the Hou Mansion, and handed them over.

"Brother, why are you writing? The three of us have all paid for the bill that owes the court."

"That's right, after taking so much money from the Marquis' Mansion, he can contribute to the Marquis' Mansion."

"Take it, you all have cash silver, and you have little investment. The Marquis' Mansion has no shortage of industries and money to make money. If it weren't for the ancestor's teachings, I should have given you what I should have given at that time. The Marquis' Mansion has 1 million taels of cash silver, plus yours has 1.9 million taels, which is still 500,000 taels. I was asking my wife to borrow some to get enough 2 million taels of silver."

"Brother, can you ask those old friends to borrow some money?"

The third brother came up with an idea there, and the second sister disagreed after hearing this;

"You, you are short of money when you happen to this. Besides, if those old relatives think about the Marquis' Mansion, you still have the face."

"Yes. This?"

"By the way, third brother, what did you just say that you can borrow money from the Ministry of Revenue according to your title, right?"

The eldest son Bai Guangju suddenly thought that this might not necessarily be paid back at once, and it would be okay to pay back part of it first.

"Yes, the inner minister said that he decreased in turn according to the title."

"Well, then we will calculate 1 million taels as Luo Yun's mansion. We owe a total of 2.4 million taels, and we can just get the big deal. Isn't it enough to borrow the rest again? Of course, I will borrow your money first. It will be difficult to get the money from the court in the future, but we must not take it, hey."

Bai Guangju knew what the emperor meant, and he knew that the money could not be returned or borrowed. As powerful as the Marquis of Luo Yun, he also wanted to borrow it. It seems that this matter should be mentioned at the Beijing Palace tonight.
