Chapter 44 Small Problems(3/3)

Qu Duan sneered, but he didn't bother to argue with this person. However, when the old uncle heard this, he became a little serious.

Wan Qixi didn't care, and just said something slowly: "Actually, after the official heard the figure of 300,000 yuan in the palace today, he asked if he could raise money... At that time, Li Zhongcheng only thought that the official wanted to raise money."

We have added miscellaneous taxes, so I am eager to dissuade you. However, I have been with the emperor for a long time, but I know that the official intention is not to tax the people."

Although Qu Duan had an exaggerated temper, he was 'capable of literature and martial arts' after all, so he felt a slight movement in his heart: "You mean, the officials want to find wealthy families to raise funds... But if that's the case, why haven't you mentioned it yet?"

Why? Of course, because the officials know in their hearts that these people are never willing to be "funded" easily! If there is no immediate benefit, who would want to be raised for no reason?

Unless Zhao Guan's family left a deposit on the painting and came here specifically to borrow it.

Wan Qixi's heart became more and more sneer, and his expression became more serious: "That's because in Jingkangzhong, in order to raise compensation, the imperial court ransacked the city, and the officials didn't want the people to panic..."

Wang Shuzhan was also moved, but he hesitated to speak.

"However, the officials were too cautious!" Wan Qixi continued to speak solemnly. "What was the amount at that time, five million taels of gold and five thousand and fifty taels of silver, but today it is only 300,000 taels.

; And at that time, the country was poor and ruined, and the money for the country's subjugation was to buy life. Now it is just a temporary shortage. According to me, among the rich and powerful families returning to the north in the city, there are forty or fifty famous wealthy families, and there are some

Officials who were born in the south of the Huaihe River and whose families are well-off, all these people put together, have three hundred thousand yuan! Not to mention, now that the wealthy and wealthy people dare to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, who is not loyal and courageous, and dedicated to the cause of the new year?

From the country? Who doesn’t want to pay for this thousands of dollars? Uncle Wang..."

"Of course I do!" Wang Shuzhan, who had not sat down all this time, blurted out. "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I asked my family to bring 10,000 yuan from Huainan for expenses. As a result, the city was closed under military control, so that I could not even move.

Move...just serve it to the officials!"

How stupid!

Wan Qixi began to look down on this recognized uncle more and more in his heart, but he did praise him with his hands on his face: "My uncle's grand gesture can be called a country's worry-free. But in my opinion, there are still some shortcomings..."

Wang Shuzhan was startled for a moment, then listened attentively.

"First of all, whether it is a donation or a loan, it should not be a public donation or a public loan. It should be a private donation or a private loan. At the very least, it should be pretended to be a private loan. Otherwise, it will embarrass the poor colleagues and embarrass the officials." Wan

As he spoke seriously, both Qu Duan and Uncle Zhao listened attentively. "Secondly, the court is just temporarily unable to make ends meet. It doesn't really need anyone's contribution. My nephew means that I can borrow whatever I can.

Donate it only if it is absolutely necessary."

Wang Shuzhan was puzzled for a moment: "How should I borrow or not donate?"

"Because people like my uncle who sincerely love the country and the king are very rare. People are selfish. Who is willing to waste the money in their hands easily?" Wan Qixi smiled at him.

Wang Shuzhan was completely moved, and he bent forward across the table to face each other: "My nephew is saying, instead of offering ten thousand guan or twenty thousand guan, it is better to be a middleman and guarantee the official's seven or eight big families, and get one hundred and eighty thousand."

Can a loan of ten thousand yuan better relieve the worries of the official family?"

At this moment, Uncle Zhao seemed to realize something. Even Qu Duan glanced at Taichang Qian and Uncle Zhao beside him.

"But it's still wrong." Wang Shuzhan was excited, but he also noticed something was wrong. "The key is how to bring this matter up with the officials? No matter what, the ministers shouldn't say anything to the officials?"

"Uncle Emperor, you can borrow it!" Wan Qixi's expression didn't change, he just raised his hand to the other party's side and pointed.

Wang Shuzhan finally woke up and immediately sat down in his seat, but he couldn't help but excitedly high-fived: "No wonder my nephew asked me to invite my relatives here! This business is done!"

"No wonder Wanqi Yushi called me here." Qu Duan finally sneered. "But he was afraid that Uncle Zhao was ignorant, so he used me to scare people?"

Wan Qixi smiled and said nothing.

And Zhao Shi? Uncle Zhao also twisted his beard and sighed: "Even though you all regard me as a waste like a moth in the country, I am willing to do my best for the country."

Wan Qixi finally revealed his plan: "If this is the case, according to my plan, my uncle will leave tomorrow and personally visit the wealthy families in the surrounding area that he is familiar with and has connections with. He only said that he is short of money and wants to borrow money from others. Can he

You can borrow as much as you want. It only costs about 100,000 yuan, which is enough to make the officials look at you with admiration. And if anyone has doubts or is discerning, why not invite him over and let him and I, Uncle Zhao, and Qu Dutong

Just like tonight, have a glass of water and wine in person?"

Wang Shuzhan didn't say anything, he just picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, but he repeatedly called out to his servants to serve good wine and food, and even asked his son-in-law to come in, making Qu a big apology.

A dinner party was held and everyone enjoyed themselves and dispersed without mentioning it.

The next day, there was no court meeting, and at this time, there was no 'routine book' rule in previous years, and there was no summons in the palace. As the censor, Wan Qixi got up unhurriedly and went to find Xianren Qu again.

One of them rode an iron elephant and the other rode a donkey. They came to Wang's Mansion and were ready to take command. They were bound to gain a lot of credit and show their ability in front of the officials.

When they arrived at the Wang Mansion, Wang Shuzhan couldn't wait and went out to borrow money early. Uncle Zhao also came to sit in charge as promised, which made Wan Qiqixi even more proud.

However, after only waiting for an hour, before noon arrived, Qian Taichang came back in a hurry, but his face turned pale and his expression was panic-stricken, which aroused the surprise and suspicion of the three people sitting in the hall.

Before the three of them could speak, Wang Shuzhan shakily took out two pieces of paper from his arms.

Wan Qixi snatched it with his hand and took a look at it in the hall. He just let out a long sigh and slapped the paper on the table.

Uncle Zhao and Qu Duan hurriedly looked at it, but they were both speechless.

It turned out that these were actually two 5,000-guan IOUs. The words in front of them were the same, and the signatures and signatures were also the same... The words "Cangzhou Zhao Jiu" were written, and they were stamped with a familiar big seal.

Even Qu Duan has a sharp eye, and even the standard handwriting on the front can be seen at a glance to be the model of Bachelor Xiaolin.

"Yesterday evening, Wu Guojiu and Pan Guojiu gathered wealthy merchants and wealthy households to hold a banquet to sell this item. One piece of Wu Qian Guan, with a limit of fifty pieces each. Tongsou Wuji sells it at the original price, and each family is limited to purchase two pieces.

I also brought three percent interest." Wang Shuzhan was about to cry but had no tears. "I saw it at Meihua Han's place. I didn't bother to come back and tell you, so I went to Pan Guojiu's house again, but he didn't want to sell me.

I tried my best to get one, and then I went to Wu Guo's house to ask for one... My dear nephew, you are just trying to figure out the interests of the government, but you shouldn't have come half a day late!"

Wan Qixi hesitated for a moment, but rarely blurted out: "I really don't know that the situation is so good now, it's just a small problem, but the officials are still so cruel?! It's scary to people."

Qu Duan calmed down at this time, but he couldn't help but laughed on the spot with a piece of IOU: "The official would rather use his face to directly sign for a loan than you two. The two relatives will hold a banquet together and there will be no one."

Inviting you to come over shows you what you are in the eyes of officials and wealthy families in Tokyo..."

Wang Shuzhan gritted his teeth for a moment. If he had not known that he could not withstand the opponent's two or three punches, he would have killed this 'talented man and martial artist' on the spot!
