"The old man fell for her again."
The Shaofu family order stood at the gate of the Shaofu yamen, watched Gu Jiu's carriage leave, feeling sad for a moment.
"If she doesn't pay back the money, the old man is a sinner!"
Back and forth, he lent five or six million taels of silver to Gu Jiu, how dare he lend her such a large amount of money. How dare she open her mouth to borrow so much money.
"With the capital and interest, the total sum must be six or seven million taels. The South City Gate project is purely supported by the Shaofu Bank.
When her project made money, Shaofu Bank also made some interest money. If her project loses money, the bank will lose six or seven million taels. At that time, the old man will die, and His Majesty will definitely chop off the old man's head. woo woo woo…”
Shaofu's family leader was so sad that he started to cry like a three-year-old child.
The subordinates couldn't stand it anymore, it was so embarrassing.
If you want to cry, go back to the house and cry, and ask the next-door household department office to see what the joke looks like.
That's not what the adults said when they lent money to Madam Zhao.
How would that be.
"Xiao Jiu, the old man lent you the money, you have to manage the project outside the south city gate well. The first payment is due soon, so hurry up and pay it back, so that the old man can report to His Majesty. Borrow and repay, it will be more convenient for you to borrow money next time."
When borrowing money, Mrs. Zhao fooled her into saying anything.
As soon as the money was borrowed, I began to regret and suffer again.
is that useful
When Mrs. Zhao comes over next time, it will still be the same.
Zhao Madam wanted to borrow as much as she wanted, and there were not many half-texts.
It means Mrs. Zhao has the ability to borrow so much money from Shaofu Bank.
The merchants next to him, regardless of whether he is a relative of the emperor or a wealthy family, will only lend a maximum of one million.
I still want to borrow another one million, okay, first repay the previous borrowed money with interest, and the Shaofu Bank agreed to borrow.
"My lord, go back." The subordinate was really ashamed and could only speak out to persuade him.
The housekeeper of Shaofu shed a few drops of cat urine, feeling uneasy in his heart, "She will pay back the money on time. If she doesn't pay back, I will go to Prince Ning's Mansion, hang him with a rope at the gate of the mansion, and stare at her day and night. with her."
The corner of the subordinate's mouth twitched, "At that time, the palace will invite a high-ranking monk to save my lord's soul. It would be delusional for my lord to stare at him day and night."
The Shaofu family order was furious, "Which side are you on?"
The subordinate was not afraid of him, and boldly said: "Of course, the lower official is on the side of the lord. Of course, you can't just watch the lord commit suicide. If your old man is gone, whoever has the money from Mrs. Zhao has the ability to return one?" son?"
The Shaofu family order snorted twice, "Isn't the newly appointed Shaofu Tongcheng very capable? While working here in the Shaofu, he also manages the internal affairs of the Prince Ning's residence."
"But Master Shi can't control Mrs. Zhao, and there is no way to get a penny from Mrs. Zhao."
The Shaofu's family order made a serious face, "I don't know what your majesty thinks, they have become emperors, and they still keep Prince Ning's mansion. Who is King Ning? Who do you say is King Ning now? There is no such king in the world. Just because The mansion is still hung with a plaque of King Ning's Mansion, and the Young Mansion has to spend an extra sum of money and food every month because of King Ning's Mansion."
The subordinate said: "That amount of money and food expenditure is nothing compared to what your Majesty needs to make the princes kings. The officials think that it is very good now, although it is a bit unruly, a bit messy, and there is no precedent. It saved a lot of money and food for our Shaofu."
The Shaofu family order was comforted and said: "It's not bad to think so. Saving money is saving money, but it's not good. It's rare this time. Your Majesty has done such a big and unruly thing. The Ministry of Rites and Jiuqing actually No one said anything. They don't shut up so consciously on weekdays."
The subordinate covered his mouth and snickered twice, "Gain because the household department has communicated with all the yamen. If anyone speaks out at this time, they will shout that it is against the rules for the princes to live together in the palace.
This loud noise not only offended the household department, but also offended everyone in his own yamen.
That household department is easy to mess with. If you offend them and want money, okay, I will delay it for half a year and a year, and at the end, I will give you a 10% discount and a 20% discount, which can kill people.
The huge yamen has no money, and can't even pay salaries. Whoever offends the Ministry of Households at this time will offend all his colleagues, and his official career will come to an end. "
The Shaofu family orders deeply agree.
Since ancient times, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs have been two big mountains pressing on the heads of the yamen, and they must not be offended.
One is in charge of his own future, and the other is in charge of his own food. They are both ancestors.
Only Shaofu can stay out of it, because Shaofu is rich and doesn't need to look at the face of the household department.
But this time, the young mansion will not risk the world's outrage and yell that it is against the rules for the prince to live in the palace together.
The Shaofu has always been His Majesty's personal steward. Whatever His Majesty wants to do, they will obey and execute it. I will never make troubles and be that early bird.
Making a fortune in silence is the temperament of the whole Shaofu.
As soon as the people from the Shaofu came out and looked at them, they gave off a restrained feeling.
Ok!
It is introverted.
It can also be called boring.
A few gossips were missing, and the Shaofu Jialing turned the topic back to Gu Jiu.
"You said she would pay back the money."
"Madam Zhao has already said that if she doesn't pay back the money, she will sell His Highness to pay off the debt. Madam Zhao dares to sell it, so why wouldn't your lord dare to buy it? You are so cowardly."
"Pfft! This old man is steady."
"Stable will not lend five or six million yuan to Mrs. Zhao in one go. Her project outside the South City Gate is now a bottomless pit."
The Shaofu family order frowned, "Why doesn't this old man know this. But if she doesn't lend it to her, she will really stop working, so what's the matter. The house won't be repaired or sold, so there's no money to pay off the debt."
The subordinate shook his head again and again, unable to bear to see him, "My lord probably drank Mrs. Zhao's ecstasy soup, and his sanity is not clear. Let her lead you away. No wonder Mrs. Zhao can only borrow money that no one else can borrow."
"Get lost! Is this old man such a fool? She said that tomorrow will be a good thing for this old man."
"I'm afraid that good thing has already been handed over to the household department."
"How?"
The subordinate stood at the door of the yamen, pointing to the household department next door, "My lord, come out quickly and see if it is the old carriage of the household department minister. Look where he is going? I bet with the lord for a tael of silver, then Lao Hao must have gone to Mrs. Zhao to ask for a solution, thinking of a way to increase income for the household department."
When the Shaofu's family order saw it and heard it, he jumped anxiously, "How can that be done? That's absolutely impossible. Mrs. Zhao can help add a couple of incomes. Such a good thing should be given to the Shaofu. Hurry up and give it to the old man. Prepare the carriage, the old man wants to catch up and stop that old man, and he must not let him succeed."
The subordinates are crazy, and they like to see their boss fighting with the boss of the next door yamen, trembling with excitement.
The subordinate ran faster than a mad dog, hurriedly drove the carriage out of the stable, loaded the Shaofu's order and hurriedly chased after him.
After this chase, he chased to the south of the city.
The Shaofu family order saw it, "Okay! That old man is indeed chasing Gu Jiu. Gu Jiu is going to inspect the construction site outside the South City Gate, and it will be no good for Old Man to follow behind."
The Shaofu yamen went up and down, and they called him the Minister of the Household Department in private, and they talked all the time. Laughing at the ministers of the household department, dignified and high-ranking officials, stingy and stingy, even the shrew in the market is not as good as him.
Of course, this nickname is also called in private.
Face to face still has to be honestly called an adult.
Even the family order of the Shaofu, relying on his seniority and seniority, dared to call the Minister of the Ministry of Households as an old man in front of his face, and he was never polite.
The Minister of the Household Department, it is a public grievance combined with a personal enmity, and he is very displeased with the Shaofu yamen. Passing by the gate of the Shaofu yamen, you have to spit to feel comfortable.
These two people are both chief officials of a yamen, riding in a carriage, chasing behind Gu Jiu's carriage one after the other.
On the carriage where Gu Jiu was riding, there were bursts of abacus sounds.
Qingmei uses the abacus to settle accounts, the more she calculates, the more anxious she becomes.
"Madam asked the Shaofu to borrow another two million taels today. Last year it was three million taels, and the total amount was five million taels. This year, I have to repay the three loans from last year, and the interest is close to one million taels. How can there be so much money in the account now. You are almost poor, how can Madam dare to borrow so much money?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "The bold ones will die, and the timid ones will starve to death. For such a big project, at least one or two million taels will be invested. How can my wife get such a large amount of money? Naturally, I will find the Shaofu Bank Borrow and use their money to do things for us."
Qingmei was so worried, "Borrowing money is easy and difficult to repay. Madam is quick to borrow money. The loan is due next month, where can I get the money to repay? Is it possible to use the money just borrowed to repay last year's loan? This is Borrowing new debts to pay off old debts, sooner or later something will happen.”
Gu Jiu looked at Qingmei's worried look, and found it interesting, "Who told you that I have to borrow a new one to repay the old one? My wife hasn't gotten into such a miserable situation, okay?"
"The lady told the maidservant, where do you want to get the money back to the Shaofu Bank?"
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "The south side has been in business for two years, so it should be promising. Is the Jiangnan side in business for a short time? In addition, it turned against Zhou Jin's side and broke off cooperation. Recently, it has been difficult to sell goods. For the time being Can't move the silver."
"Ma'am, what do you mean, all rely on the little profit from the southern villa? That little money is not enough to pay off the interest of the Shaofu."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "You are wrong. The future of the southern villa is not only enough to repay the interest of the Shaofu, but also enough to repay the principal."
"The servant doesn't believe it."
Qingmei is in charge of the ledger, and she still knows what's going on in the southern villa. In the past few years, we only looked at the input, but did not see the output. The speed of burning money is not slow at all.
The people bought from the northwest were all pulled into the mountains in the south as mine slaves and field slaves. It was a big expense to keep these people.
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "I asked the southern villa to organize a convoy to the capital. Calculated the time, it's almost time to arrive. Last month, Rong Xin wrote, saying that he had contacted those Persian merchants and Dashi merchants. If so If all goes well, Jiangnan will also be able to deliver a large amount of goods this year."
"Those goods can't be sold for two million taels."
Gu Jiu smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, when they report the account book, they will know how much they can sell."
Xu Yousi knocked on the door of the car and told Gu Jiu that there were two carriages following them, and they followed them all the way. Looking at the emblems, one is the Minister of the Household Department, and the other is the Household Order of the Shaofu.
Gu Jiu said, "Don't worry about them, just keep driving."
After leaving the South City Gate, it is the newly established Xinmin County.
The county government office is located in Xinmin Town, which is the former shack area, quite close to the market.
Over there in the shack area, they have been busy with forced demolition recently, and they have been flying around all day long.
Most of the refugees were still very cooperative, gritted their teeth, contributed a sum of money to the capital, bought a new house, took the keys and moved in with the whole family.
After experiencing the benefits of living in a new house, who cares about living in that shack.
I'm afraid I don't want to go back to the shack again, I'm afraid it will be an eyesore even if I look at it.
Not all of these refugees were from poor people. Among them were squires, scholars, rich peasants with a little wealth, skilled craftsmen, and even rich families.
Just because the hometown was hit by a disaster, the landlord's house had no surplus food, and there was a man-made disaster, so he had to leave his hometown to flee famine and become a refugee.
I thought about going back to my hometown one day.
But after experiencing the benefits of the capital, some people decided to take root in Xinmin County, Gyeonggi.
There are also small landlords, the so-called big families, who miss their hometown and refuse to settle down. Looking forward to returning home one day.
These people are the most troublesome nail households.
Their idea is very simple, if they buy a house, they need to settle down, and once settled down, they are no longer from their hometown. The fields in my hometown, the houses in my hometown, and the connections in my hometown seemed to have nothing to do with them all of a sudden.
How could they accept it.
This group of people made several fights, arrested and beat them, but it didn't work.
This group of people will not buy a house, nor will they move out.
My hometown has suffered disasters year after year, and I have fled to thousands of miles of uninhabited people. I will go back one day when I go back, but not now.
Now go back, not even a person. No one, what's the use of guarding a large abandoned land. With my own people, I can't plow two hundred acres of land even if I'm exhausted.
Not to mention that there is no place to buy seed cattle.
Back then, I first ran away from famine in the countryside, and later I heard that there were rebels and bandits. No one was left in my hometown and county town, and the government office was also empty without anyone.
Such a hometown seems to be Juehu County and Juehu State. It is absolutely impossible to go back now.
If they don't go back, they will stick to the capital. At the same time, they will never settle down in Xinmin County, the capital, and will not be the people of Xinmin County.
These people have read books and have more obsessions than ordinary people.
At the end of the quarrel, Deng Cunli got angry and wanted to arrest these people and throw them all into the mine as miners.
Fortunately, Gu Jiu rushed over.
Gu Jiu brought everyone a piece of news.
She said: "The matter of buying a house and settling down is entirely voluntary, there is no need to force it. If you want to settle down, you must buy a house. After buying a house, you don't have to settle down.
However, if you don’t settle down, although you don’t need to serve corvee or pay tax, you have to pay tax on borrowing status. After all, they occupy the resources of Xinmin County, so they can't take all the benefits without paying any price. "
Deng Cunli asked: "This borrowing tax, the Ministry of Households came up with it?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "The tax officer of the household department has already completed the paperwork, and we are just waiting to collect the tax. The borrowing tax, regardless of the harvest, is three times the tax in Xinmin County.
You engrave a few more copies of these systems, post them outside, and send someone to explain them so that everyone can understand them. Give them three days. After three days, no matter whether they move or not, the construction site must start as scheduled.
Those who dared to hinder the construction period were all arrested and thrown into the mine for renovation. The men go to the mine, the women wash and cook in the mine, and the children carry the mine when they go. Don't let the old man go. With so much work in the mine, I am not afraid of having nothing to do. "
Deng Cunli bowed his head and arranged for people to engrave and post the new system of the household department.
Gu Jiu said again: "You don't have to worry about money, I have already borrowed a sum from the Shaofu, and put it all on the account. If you want to use money, just use it from the account."
Deng Cunli was overjoyed, "Madam, the money is timely. The original plan was to start the second and third phases at the same time this year. But the money in the account is getting less and less. The old slave is still worried that the construction period will be delayed.
If the third phase cannot start on time, where else can we make money this year. Just thinking about money, Madam settled the money. "
In Gu Jiu's plan, the first and second phases will be sold with small profits, and the profits will be given to the refugees.
That little profit is really not enough to fit between the teeth, it is only enough to build basic projects.
In the huge Xinmin County, foundation projects, underground pipelines, bridge laying and road construction are all things that consume a lot of money and food.
The ones that can really make a lot of money are the third, fourth, and fifth phases of the project...
The further you build, the more luxurious the house will be, and the more expensive the price will be.
In order to sell the house ten times, twenty times, or even a hundred times the profit, it is essential to create a supporting environment.
The surrounding mountains and forests were all bought by Gu Jiu.
She had to make good use of those mountains and forests.
And lakes.
There are no lakes nearby, so ponds will be dug artificially to build lakes. Bring living water from the mountain and from the upper reaches.
It is guaranteed to create a high-end residential area with a quiet environment, quietness amidst the hustle and bustle, convenient travel, convenient shopping, and low-key luxury.
Monopoly rich people.
If a house doesn't sell for tens of thousands of taels, her surname will not be Gu.
