Chapter 356: Your Share of Me Is Out!
Hearing Guo Renjie talk about business, Brother Shi didn't care about explaining to Lin Yingyue, and he didn't care about guessing the identity of the woman next to him: The business that should come is finally here! Thinking in his heart, he also looked up at Luo Haotian on the stage.
Immediately, I listened to Luo Haotian continue: "This year's Jiangnan Poetry Conference is held in Jinling, but the current situation is a little turbulent, and the DPRK and China do not attach importance to this matter. ”
"This is natural, there is such a grand event in Jinling City, and we naturally want to support it vigorously!" As soon as Luo Haotian's words fell, Jin Feng quickly jumped out and opened his mouth to respond.
But Guo Youwei smiled faintly: "Lord Luo wants me to wait for the money, and I naturally have nothing to say." I heard that Lord Luo had raised money from those hawkers, green houses, restaurants, etc. in the city a few days ago, I don't know how much silver is still missing? ”
Guo Youwei's words are not polite, and the meaning is much more direct: how much silver do you want, just say it directly!
As soon as Guo Youwei's voice fell, everyone couldn't help but look at Luo Haotian who was sitting on the stage. Of course, including the puffed up Lin Yingyue, although Brother Shi's behavior made her angry, she didn't forget today's business. And Jin Feng, who was still in Ying and Luo Haotian, was also nervous, Ying and Guihe, the Jin family's finances have been a little nervous recently......
After hearing this, Luo Haotian first glanced at Guo Youwei deeply, then glanced at everyone again, and then said: "This Jiangnan Poetry Meeting, there are many people, and this official is expected to need 200,000 taels of silver!" Now that only 50,000 taels have been raised, as a big household in Jinling, you should not be difficult to take out 50,000 taels per person, right? ”
Only 50,000 taels were raised? You TM even cost two taels of silver to sell sugar gourds on the roadside, and now you tell me that you only raised 50,000 taels? Now each family has another 50,000 taels, and the distribution is quite reasonable! Hearing this number, Brother Shi couldn't help but be very annoyed and secretly said. Guo Renjie next to him, his face couldn't help but sink: this number is much higher than he expected......
Lin Yingyue didn't say anything, just looked at Shi Yuan, who was silent next to her: she believed that Shi Yuan would come with her today and would not be a listener...... But as soon as she turned her head, the woman sitting behind Shi Yuan also looked at her, and her eyes seemed to be a little provocative!
"Shameless!" scolded in his heart, and then turned his head angrily again.
As for the three people opposite Brother Shi, Luo Wenfeng didn't need to say much, he came with his father today, he was originally distracted, if he hadn't met Shi Yuan, he wouldn't even be ready to speak.
But Guo Youwei was still smiling, as if he didn't care about the 50,000 taels of silver at all. And the most ugly face was Jin Feng who was the first to respond to Luo Haotian!
The Jin family was able to squeeze into the four major families of Jinling, although the reputation was extremely poor, but the strength was still there. It's just that...... Now the Jin family is facing an unprecedented financial crisis! Buying the Lin family's workshop and shop in Yangzhou has already spent a lot of silver deposits. And those craftsmen and shopkeepers in Yangzhou workshops and shops also need a lot of silver to appease! In addition, it is the cost of making amends to Luo Wenfeng today and covering this Qingfeng Pavilion...... The dignified Jin family, now it is really difficult to come up with 50,000 taels of silver!
"What do you think?" Seeing that all the people in the audience were silent, Luo Haotian asked again with a smile on his face.
But after he finished speaking, there was still no one in the room who spoke. No matter what kind of relationship and festival the three families of Guo, Lin and Jin have. But at least for now, the position of the three is the same. Although the figure of 50,000 taels is not very large, it is just a drop in the bucket for the three major families who are in the prosperous land of Jinling!
But no one's money is blown by the wind. Even the Jin family, known as "scraping the ground", was only exchanged for being scolded by others, not to mention the Guo Lin family that had worked so hard to accumulate? This is the first to speak, and he must have to find a way to negotiate this number! But Luo Haotian's reputation for King Luo Yama is not so easy to offend......
"If no one says it, then I'll take it as your acquiescence! After I go back today, I will ask people to go to the house to get the money! Luo Haotian naturally knew what these people meant, so he asked again, today's matter must have a result, and the 50,000 taels of silver are not negotiable!
Hum! As soon as Luo Haotian's voice fell, Guo Renjie snorted dissatisfiedly, but he didn't speak. But Luo Haotian seized this opportunity, smiled slightly, looked at Guo Renjie and asked, "Guo Gongzi seems to be a little displeased, but what is your opinion?" ”
Guo Renjie has always been a master who is not afraid of causing trouble, although in terms of the situation now, the officialdom relationship of their Guo family may not be like Luo Haotian, but as the Guo family, which ranks first among the four major families in Jinling, he still has the confidence he should have! But just as he was about to speak, his father Guo Youwei spoke before him and said:
"Lord Luo wants to collect 50,000 taels of silver, and our Guo family naturally has no opinion! It's just that...... Shi Gongzi had already promised to help our Guo family raise money this time. Therefore, Lord Luo's silver, I'm afraid that I want to find Shi Gongzi to ask for it! After speaking, Guo Youwei looked at Shi Yuan opposite with a smile on his face.
Brother Shi, who was making plans in his heart and didn't react at all, didn't expect that this Guo Youwei would "sell" himself like this! And the eyes of everyone in the room also looked at him:
First of all, it was Baihua who sat behind him, disguised as a maidservant. She originally wanted to take revenge on Shiyuan today. By the way, listen to the evil deeds of Luo Haotian, the prefect of Jinling. But I didn't expect to hear such an interesting thing...... "When did this shameless disciple become so rich?" Looking at Shi Yuan, she thought in confusion.
Lin Yingyue, who was sitting next to Brother Shi, was completely confused at this time, because Shi Yuanke had never told her about this matter. Of course, she didn't have any opinion on the 50,000 taels of silver that was given on behalf of the Guo family, after all, the Guo family had helped their Lin family a lot this time......
It's just that the meaning of Guo Youwei's words seems to be - the 50,000 taels of silver are not from the Lin family, but from Shi Yuan himself! However, it is normal for Lin Yingyue to think like this, because in her eyes, Shi Yuan's matter is naturally her and the Lin family's matter.
As for Jin Feng, who had just taken the lead in responding to the peace, he was even more puzzled: although the Lin family had just taken the 700,000 taels of silver paid by their Jin family, this money was not something that Shi Yuan could move. He's an outsider living in the Lin family, uh...... Now maybe it should be said that it is the grandson-in-law of the Lin family, and what about 50,000 taels of silver from there? Could it be that this is what the Lin family meant? But...... The Lin family is now difficult to protect itself! Or, is this Lin Yingyue's share of the family business?
Sitting opposite Shi Yuan, Luo Wenfeng, who had been silent for a long time, was also full of solemnity at this time. Although today's incident had nothing to do with him, he was still very curious about where Shi Yuan came up with 50,000 taels of silver! At the same time, there was also a little pride in his heart: Shi Yuan's money was given to their Luo family, and this amount could be regarded as calming the resentment in his heart a little.
And Guo Renjie, who was about to open his mouth to fight back against Luo Haotian, suddenly remembered that when Shi Yuan chatted with him at the kiln before, he had indeed said such things, and after he went home later, he did mention it to his father in passing. It's just that he didn't expect his father to believe it and mention it at this time......
