Chapter 097: Pretending to be stupid and behaving well
The next morning, Jufenglong Silver sent 20,000 yuan to the Governor's Mansion on time.
The 20,000 yuan lent to the Governor's Mansion this time really hollowed out Ju Fenglong's family funds. In addition to the 10,000 taels of silver in the silver number reserve, the other 10,000 guan coins were all made up with a string of Kaiyuan Tongbao, which was enough to make up 20,000 guan money.
In the Tang Dynasty, the monetary policy still used copper coins as the main currency in circulation, such as silver and even gold, unless it was a large amount of foreign trade or the upper class. In the people, the Kaiyuan Tongbao copper coin is the mainstream hard currency.
Therefore, the common people go to the silver number to store mainly copper coins. The 10,000 taels of silver that arrived this time were all accumulated by Jufenglong through the exchange business.
There were 1,000 copper coins and four kilograms. This full 10,000 yuan of Kaiyuan Tongbao is not a small amount, just packed in boxes and boxes on mule carts, it is enough to use six mule carts to pull, plus 10,000 taels of silver......
At this time, there were as many as ten mule carts parked at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and the scene was very spectacular.
When Guo Ke heard the news and came out of the Duwei Mansion, he first opened the wooden boxes full of Kaiyuan Tongbao one by one, looked at the boxes of Kaiyuan Tongbao on the car, piled up wooden boxes one by one, and then opened one mule cart after another......
He was a little moved in an instant, and sighed secretly, didn't this Jufeng Longmo clean up all the family wealth of the silver horn to the official? Otherwise, why use so many copper coins to make up the numbers? This Miss Cao is really kind-hearted, knowing that Yinhao's family background is like this, she even lent all of them to Captain Bendu. This woman is very courageous, and her achievements are limitless!
After thinking about it, he asked a silver-numbered guy who was escorted in the car and asked, "Where is the owner of your family?" Didn't she come? ”
The man replied respectfully: "My young lady said that there is a governor's mansion in the city, and it is very safe, and there is no need for her to personally escort the silver." And she also said that she had already signed a contract with Lord Du Lieutenant yesterday, so why did she need to make another trip? Lord Commander is a believer, let the little ones directly send the silver to the Governor's Mansion! ”
"Miss Cao believes in Captain Pontus so much? Such a bold spirit is enough to make the men of the world embarrassed! Tsk, sure enough, it was different from the other women Pontus had seen. Guo Ke's good impression of Cao Yuechan has become stronger and stronger.
The man took a stack of documents from his arms, respectfully presented them to Guo Ke's eyes, and said, "Lord Duwei, this time we will use ten mule carts to escort silver, silver plus copper coins, a total of 20,000 yuan!" However, the amount of money on each mule cart is different, and the bill has a specific amount on it. The young lady asked the little one to present it to the adult in person, and asked the adult to count and check it, so that the little one could go back to his life. ”
"Oh?"
Guo Ke took the slip, but without looking at it, he stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile: "Miss Cao wants such a woman to not let her eyebrows have the courage to do it, how can Captain Bendu do the work of a girl who checks back and forth?" Captain Bendu believes in your reputation for gathering Fenglong, and even more in Miss Cao's personality! ”
After that, he waved his hand at the guy and said, "Go back and report to your Cao Dong family, just say that Captain Pontus has accepted her favor." 20,000 yuan, which will be returned as scheduled after one year. As for the conditions promised to her in the contract yesterday, Captain Bendu is also a gentleman who is quick to say a word, so let her do it boldly and with confidence! ”
Subsequently, Guo Ke asked the guards and miscellaneous servants in the Governor's Mansion to start unloading one after another, and moved boxes and boxes of silver coins into the Governor's Mansion.
At present, such a large sum of money is naturally the safest and safest place in the Governor's Mansion.
Waiting for the people of the Governor's Mansion to finish unloading the goods, the men of Ju Fenglong drove the mule cart one after another and returned to the silver number.
About half an hour later, Cui Gengcai set off from home and walked leisurely into the Governor's Mansion.
As soon as I entered the governor's mansion, I saw that the guards and miscellaneous servants were still placing wooden boxes, passing through the Changshi Hall one by one, talking about martial arts, and moving into the inner house belonging to Guo Ke.
And Guo Ke, who was directing these people to work, saw it at a glance, and now that he has solved the urgent need, he is naturally happy on his face.
Cui Geng hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord Duwei has worked hard. ”
"Oh? Cui Changshi, the work here is almost over, you are here to pay the difference, you came at the right time! Guo Ke glanced at Cui Geng,
Cui Geng laughed twice and said: "This is the time of the Shangya, and the lower officials are not late, hehe, you must know that Ju Fenglong's side will come to deliver the silver so early, and the lower officials should get up early and come over early to share the worries of Lord Duwei." ”
"Go, go, Captain Pontus is in a good mood today, too lazy to bother with you!"
Guo Ke waved his hand, unwilling to pursue Cui Geng's cheating and trickery, and this time he was able to borrow silver, which was 15,000 more than expected, and it was also thanks to Cui Geng's introduction to himself that Jufenglong Yinhao, which was a bit of a credit.
Solving the urgent need of having no money to pay salaries in front of him, Guo Ke still gave a little affirmation to Cui Geng's ability to do things.
"By the way, Captain Pontus signed a loan deed with Miss Cao from Jufenglong. The reason why Ju Fenglong was willing to lend 20,000 yuan to our Governor's Mansion without interest was because Captain Bendu had agreed to their two conditions in the contract. As the chief historian of the Governor's Mansion, Captain Ben feels the need to inform you. Guo Ke pulled Cui Geng to the side of the place where no one was around, and said in a dispensable tone.
Cui Geng's heart burst into his heart, milkball, do you know that Lao Tzu is the governor of the Duwei Mansion? When you signed the contract to agree to Cao Yuechan's conditions, why didn't you ask your buddies for their opinions? The contract has been signed, the conditions have been agreed, will you inform me again?
Well, Cui Erlang was ignored by Guo Ke again.
But for Cui Geng, there is no loss. The two conditions he could agree to Cao Yuechan played a key role in Jufenglong's subsequent development.
His Cui family is the major shareholder of Jufenglong, and the better Jufenglong can develop, the more profits he will make, which is a great thing for him.
However, at this time, he still put on a look of disappointment, and pretended to be surprised and said, "What? So this silver wasn't borrowed for nothing? What conditions do you have to promise them? ”
"Borrowed for nothing? Where can you find such a good thing, when you are a person whose 20,000 yuan is blown by a strong wind? ”
Guo Ke looked at Cui Geng with great disdain and said, "You must know that as far as the Captain of the Governor knows, Miss Cao has almost emptied the family of the Silver Horn in order to solve the urgent needs of our Captain Mansion. This matter, Ben Du Wei owes a big favor, not to mention two conditions, that is, two more conditions, Ben Du Wei feels that he can't go. ”
Damn, I'm losing!
Cui Geng's little heart trembled violently, and he said secretly, Cao Yuechan's ability to fool is simply better than Lao Tzu's, and after letting Guo Ke, this kid, agree to such an ungodly condition, he still feels that he can't go away. It seems that Xiao Niangpi is still soft-hearted, and she would have asked her to put forward a few more conditions if she knew it.
But now that the conditions are raised, it is already past the village and there is no such shop.
Come on, I can only make up for it next time.
However, he still got cheap and asked obediently: "Lord Duwei, what conditions did you promise her?" ”
Guo Ke said: "There are two very simple conditions, the first is that they want to open a branch in Putian County. However, she was worried that the semicolon would not be able to stand on the side of Putian County, worried that the gangsters on the street would make trouble, and she was also worried that the silver trumpet counterparts in Putian would be bad. No, she hopes that our Governor's Mansion will support her at that time and stand on the platform to help. ”
"Oh, her worries are reasonable, after all, there are three or four money villages in Putian City, and she is only a foreigner in Fenglong, and she wants to take food from Putian's tiger's mouth, and it depends on whether the local counterparts are willing or not." Cui Geng pretended to be confused, nodded and agreed.
Guo Ke snorted and said: "Yes, so she hopes that on the day of the opening of the semicolon, the captain of Bendu can come forward to invite Liu You to ask the county commander of Liu to attend the ceremony, and in the first month of the opening, the captain of the capital can send four government soldiers to stand guard for her Putian branch." The purpose is very simple, to invite Liu Xianling and Bendu Lieutenant to attend the ceremony, to tell their counterparts in Putian that there are people in the official mansion, so that they will not have the idea of making small moves behind their backs; Let the Governor's Mansion send four guards to be a temporary sentry for a month, because he wants to deter and deter those green-skinned gangsters on the streets of Putian, and don't come to Jufenglong Silver to make trouble. ”
Regarding the matter of Ju Fenglong's opening of a semicolon, Cui Geng had already discussed with Cao Yuechan that whether the first semicolon could be opened smoothly was a very critical step for Ju Fenglong.
Now with Guo Ke's borrowing of silver, Cao Yuechan has solved her concerns after opening a semicolon, Cui Geng can only say that this little girl's thoughts and means, not doing business is simply a tyrannical thing!
As for him, the governor of the Governor's Mansion, it's okay to scare and scare others, but for Liu Youqiu, there is really no deterrent.
Therefore, if Guo Ke can invite Liu Youqiu to attend the ceremony, then the follow-up business of the Putian branch will definitely be stable.
As for whether Guo Ke can invite Liu Youqiu, since this guy dares to agree, naturally there is no problem at all.
It seems that Shen Tuo and Song Lian's accommodation and fear of Guo Ke are definitely not accidental.
Cui Geng is becoming more and more curious about Guo Ke's origins.
"As for the second condition, uh, it's about the public money allocated by the imperial court every year!"
