Chapter 057: Jufenglong Silver Trumpet
Jufenglong Silver?
Song Wen is not a country man who has never seen the world, although it is the first time he has heard of the silver number, but it is not difficult to understand from the literal point that this Jufenglong silver number should be the same as the Wu family's Tianshun Qianzhuang, but with a different title.
Not? So, is the Cao family going to make money?
Song Wen's triangular eyes narrowed into a slit, and he secretly pondered, no wonder the surname Cao wanted Dong Weng to agree, and from now on, the commercial tax and grain tax of the county government, as well as the tax and silver of the livestock city, were all deposited in his family's Jufenglong silver number. Dare to love is to borrow chickens and eggs, take the official bank tax of the county government as a reserve, and then lend money to earn interest.
This has to be put in the future bank that Cui Gengmeng saw, this is collecting savings!
"Hmph~ It's a wishful thinking!"
Immediately, Song Wen advised Hu Zeyi: "Dong Weng, this matter must not work!" This surnamed Cao had a good calculation, and he actually hit the head of the county government with his idea. Dong Weng Mingjian, I must not agree to this guy's unreasonable request! β
Song Wen objected so fiercely, so he naturally had his own careful thoughts.
One is that today, Cao Tianjiao, the old dog, has repeatedly opposed him in full view of everyone, which makes him lose face, and he naturally can't make Cao Tianjiao happy; The second is that the official bank tax is stored in the county government, and as Hu Zeyi's number one confidant, he can naturally take the opportunity to rub oil, and there is always a chance to get some benefits from the official bank tax revenue, and he can even temporarily misappropriate it for other purposes to make profits for himself. But in the future, after all these tax silvers are deposited in the Jufenglong Silver Account, where will he still have this opportunity? Isn't this the end of his desire to accumulate money?
There is also the last key reason, that is, the big shopkeeper of Tianshun Money, Wu Gongli, the son of the Wu family, also came to him two days ago, hoping that he can deposit the daily tax silver collected by the cattle market into Tianshun Money Village in the future. In return, Wu Gongli will pay money to buy a decent mansion for him in Quanzhou Mansion, at least a mansion with two entrances and two exits.
Song Wen is the household Cao of Qingyuan County, coupled with his relationship with Hu Zeyi, he naturally has the ability to do it for Wu Gongli. Besides, the two-in, two-out mansion in Quanzhou City, the location is better, and it is worth two or three hundred yuan, so why didn't Song Wen do it?
But he didn't have time to mutter to Hu Zeyi about this matter, fuck, he didn't expect to be preempted by Cao Tianjiao, the old turtle grandson.
Okay, you're Cao Tianjiao, you're the old man today, right? actually came to grab food.
Looking at Hu Zeyi, who was sitting next to him, did not refuse at the first time, but looked contemplative, the more Song Wen thought about it, the more worried he became, and he suddenly slapped the case and shouted: "Cao Tianjiao, it is impossible for the tax money of the county government to be handed over to a businessman!" β
The sudden shooting of the case did not scare Cao Tianjiao, but it scared Hu Zeyi a lot!
"Presumptuous!"
Hu Zeyi instantly lowered his face, glanced at Song Wen, and snorted: "When, it's your turn to be the master of the county government?" β
Seeing this, Cui Geng hurriedly made up for it: "That is, the county lord is sitting, and the officials dare not trespass, but you are a little Cao official who dares to transgress on your behalf?" It's really the other way around! β
"The surname is Cui, you don't want to sow discord!"
Song Wen reacted immediately, and hurriedly leaned over and explained to Hu Zeyi: "Dong Weng, the student did not mean to be offended, and listened to the student's explanation. Here's the thing......"
In desperation, Song Wen had to tell Wu Gongli, the shopkeeper of Tianshun Qianzhuang, about finding him, of course, Wu Gongli wanted to give him a set of mansions with two entrances and two exits in return, and Song Wen naturally took the initiative to omit it.
The Wu family in the east of the city and Hu Zeyi are cousins, which is not a secret in Qingyuan County.
"The official gift is also interested in the official bank tax?"
Hu Zeyi saw that he also pulled out his relatives here, and Wu Gongli, the eldest son of his cousin Wu Jitang, also thought about depositing the tax money in the bank, and had to think about it again.
The two talked in a low voice, and Cui Gengzi, who was sitting at the same table, could hear it clearly, but Cao Tianjiao, who was separated by several tables, was confused and couldn't hear anything.
After listening to Song Wen's words, Cui Geng saw Hu Zeyi's hesitant look, and knew that it was going to be bad, if he was really a rival, and this rival was still Hu Zeyi's nephew!
Fortunately, he and Cao Tianjiao had prepared another set of plans before, to prevent unstable factors such as the Wu family from appearing in the middle, but he and Cao Tianjiao were too far away, how to notify the cheap father-in-law?
Suddenly, he stood up suddenly, and shouted in the direction of Cao Tianjiao: "Cao Dongjia, you are not the only one in Qingyuan City who gathers Fenglong to open a money bank, right?" Qingyuan County is indeed a tight treasury and cannot support the loss required for county school every month. But you've put forward too many conditions, right? Today, the big money owner of Tianshun Qianzhuang Wu didn't come, otherwise, it would be the turn of Cao Dongjia, you are here to take advantage of the fire to rob? I can tell you, the Wu family of Tianshun Qianzhuang is related to our county lord! β
As soon as these words came out, Cao Tianjiao was stunned for a while, but then saw that Cui Geng didn't turn his head and squeezed his eyebrows at him, and instantly understood what was going on.
But these words also made Song Wen vigilant, and he wondered why Cui Erlang suddenly said these words to Cao Tianjiao.
These words sounded like they were complaining about Hu Zeyi, like beating the insatiable Cao Tianjiao, but Song Wen felt that the surname Cui was deliberately passing on the conversation between himself and Hu Zeyi to Cao Tianjiao.
Could it be that Cao Tianjiao, the old thing, is just a marionette, in fact, Cui Erlang is the person behind the sudden appearance of Ju Fenglong?
However, before he could continue to speculate, Cao Tianjiao began to shout loudly again: "Lord County, it's not that Cao is taking advantage of the fire to rob." The unpaid investment of 30 per month has been continuous for many years, which is not a small amount. Cao believes that even if the Tianshun money dealer has a big business, it may not be possible to give this money for the county lord for a long time, right? β
Thirty times a month, a steady stream, rain or shine, all year round......
Hu Zeyi frowned slightly, and shook his head secretly, he knew his cousin too well, Wu Jitang, the head of the Wu family, this old man is famous for his searching, and he is shrewd to be unprofitable, where can he have this courage? In terms of money, Wu Jitang's cousin is very similar to himself.
As for his cousin Wu Gongli...... Hehe, his father Wu Jitang is not dead yet, where is his turn to be the master of this hairy boy?
Seeing that Hu Zeyi still didn't express his position, Cao Tianjiao gritted his teeth ruthlessly and shouted: "Lord County, if we can deposit all the official silver taxes of the county government into our Jufenglong Silver Account in the future, in addition to the thirty times a month that the county school needs to be paid by us, Jufenglong is also willing to pay three hundred yuan to repair and expand the ferry of Mulan Creek outside the city!" β
"Repair and expand the ferry of Mulan Creek outside the city? Is this true? β
After Hu Zeyi heard Cao Tianjiao add another condition, the last trace of hesitation in his heart was completely put down.
Cao Tianjiao said: "A mouthful of spit and a nail, how dare the grass people talk nonsense in front of the county lord?" β
At this moment, the banquet hall was boiling again.
Especially those businessmen, their faces were even more excited.
If nothing else, it is the ferry of Qingyuan Mulan Creek.
Because the reason why Qingyuan rarely has foreign merchants here, the biggest reason is that the transportation is not developed. It stands to reason that Mulan Creek extends in all directions, and if the waterway is opened, you can take a ferry to reach the counties under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture by boat, which is to go up to Quanzhou City against the current, and it only takes half the time by land.
However, over the years, Qingyuan's financial constraints are one reason, and the inaction of several county commanders is also a reason, and the construction of the Mulan River Wharf and ferry has not been carried out for a long time.
If there are more waterways to enable more and more foreign business travelers and tourists to come to Qingyuan County, wouldn't it prosper the business of all walks of life in Qingyuan? Indirectly, aren't they the buyers and sellers able to earn more money?
For a while, these businessmen who were originally reluctant to pay actually started their minds, and for their own interests, they all thought of it together, and shouted to Hu Zeyi one after another.
"Cao Dongjia is really generous and benevolent, I am willing to add a handful of icing on the cake to the county government to repair and expand the Mulan River Ferry Wharf."
"Although Zai Xia is doing cloth trading, and his financial resources are not as good as Cao Dong's family, he is willing to donate ten yuan to add a boost to the county government to build a wharf!"
"I'm willing to pay three times!"
"I'm out twice!"
"A certain family is willing to go out for thirty times to participate in this grand event!"
β¦β¦
Hu Zeyi and Song Wen were stunned by the sudden situation, and the gentry in the field were greatly shocked.
It is always said that businessmen are not benevolent, but today they have seen such a big scene of benevolence and righteousness, which really makes them, the gentry who usually regard themselves as high, ashamed!
Cui Geng didn't expect things to develop into the current situation, so he couldn't help but persuade Hu Zeyi in a low voice: "My lord, this is what the people want!" Also, a few days ago, news came from the Longxi County Ya that a group of outlaw mountain bandits seemed to have infiltrated the junction of Putian County and Qingyuan County. Until this group of mountain bandits is eradicated, the land route is always safer than the water route. Therefore, the repair and expansion of the Mulan River Wharf outside the city is not only an urgent matter, but also a matter for the well-being of the people of Qingyuan. Xiaguan's suggestion is still in response to Cao Dongjia! β
Hu Zeyi snorted, lowered his eyelids, and fell into a brief weighing consideration.
However, Song Wen still persevered, and continued to shake his head and persuade: "No, no, no, you must not respond to Cao Tianjiao." Dong Weng, the Wu family is related to you, in case Master Wu is there, ......"
"What can he do with me?"
Hu Zeyi opened his eyes suddenly, and snorted: "Do you think he is willing to pay thirty times a month for the county school for free?" Or is he willing to pay 300 yuan for the county government to build a wharf and ferry? He can't pay this money, could it be that you Song Wen will pay it for him? β
"Huh? Student... Student ......"
Song Wen was choked for a while, and he didn't know how to reply for a long time.
Because he knows who Wu Jitang is, and he knows better who Song Wen is!
Soon, Hu Zeyi got up and decided: "Okay, this official will answer you!" For the rest of the matter, this official asked County Lieutenant Cui to follow up with you. Lieutenant Cuiβ"
After that, Hu Zeyi looked at Cui Geng and asked: "What the Cao Dongjia mentioned today and what should be done, this official will be fully responsible for you." Whether it's the county school or the ferry terminal, you must hurry up, don't let the official down! β
"The subordinate obeys!"
Cui Geng responded happily and watched Hu Zeyi leave.
Looking at Song Wen again, following behind Hu Zeyi, he was like a puppet with a lost soul, stumbling and almost falling.
Soon, the charity dinner came to an end with the departure of the guests.
The lobby of the Drunken Immortal Building, which was still noisy just now, was deserted after a while, leaving only Cui Geng, Cao Tianjiao, and Tian Wenkun.
Tian Wenkun saw that the people who were almost gone, so he smiled and said: "Congratulations to the two of you, Tian is here to wish Jufenglong a prosperous day and a prosperous business!" β
Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders and smiled warmly, but it was Cao Tianjiao, his eyes were so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he couldn't find the north and south.
Cui Geng replied: "Today is thanks to the cooperation of the shopkeeper Tian!" β
"What is the relationship between you and me? It is incumbent upon oneself to do so! β
Tian Wenkun smiled very righteously: "But today, Tian must write a word of service to the young owner, oh no, Lieutenant Cui." It's amazing, to put it mildly, which of these people invited to the dinner is not a supporting role for the county lieutenant to sing tonight? Amazing, suit! β
Cui Geng waved his hand, humbly didn't even dare to say it, and snorted at Cao Tianjiao, and said, "The real protagonist tonight is Cao Dongjia, not me!" β
Cao Tianjiao was still immersed in the wonderful taste of the audience just now, and when he heard Cui Geng say this, he became more and more happy.
However, thinking that the money spent today just now was about to catch up with his Cao family's family, he still had a little bit of a complaint about Cui Geng, and said, "Virtuous son-in-lawββ"
Cui Geng didn't wait for him to finish, and hurriedly stopped: "It's better for your old man to call Erlang, your Yuechan also said two days ago that the cooperative silver number does not mean marriage, I don't want her to say that I am taking advantage of others!" β
Cao Tianjiao couldn't help but purse his lips and scolded angrily: "This dead girl, where can I find a good son-in-law like you?" β
"Get down to business!"
Cui Geng corrected it in time and said, "Did you just want to ask me that the county government's annual official silver tax is counted, even if it is all deposited in our Jufenglong, it can't withstand the silver spent, right?" β
"That's right!"
Cao Tianjiao said: "Thirty times a month, a year is three hundred and sixty times, and this is ten years...... I don't dare to think about it, and the 300 yuan of money spent to build the ferry, I don't have a long life, this money is not blown by the wind. Even if the county government and those official bank taxes are saved to our gathering Fenglong, the annual profits are not worth 300 yuan...... What are you trying to do? At that time, just take the welcome building and change it to Jufenglong Yinhao! It's really a long time to spend so much unjust money......"
Cui Geng said with a smile: "Cao Dongjia, sometimes a loss is a blessing!" Let me ask you, is the silver number going to be saved? β
Cao Tianjiao nodded noncommittally.
Cui Geng said again: "Then let me ask you, if you are a depositor, when you learn that the county lord is willing to hand over the official silver tax of the county government to Jufenglong with confidence and boldness, as a depositor of Qingyuan, what reason is there not to deposit the silver money in Jufenglong?" Do you think that in the future, we will need to run door to door? Wait, once the news spreads tonight, you'd better raise the bar for Jufenglong. β
"Why do you have to make the bar higher?" Cao Tianjiao asked.
Without waiting for Cui Geng to return to him, Tian Wenkun said happily for the first time: "Of course, so as not to be stepped on by someone to level the threshold!" However, after the county lieutenant said so, it really makes sense. Today's move, at least in the first round, the Wu family's Tianshun Money Village will be destroyed! Awesome, the county lieutenant is really powerful! β
