"One more thing, after the New Year, you are going to Shamen Town, and we will go too." Li Hui'er said suddenly.

"Ahh Li Jing suddenly raised her head in surprise, looking at Li Hui'er's face full of the appearance that had already decided to make an official notice now, and couldn't help but open her mouth and didn't know what to say. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Hui'er, then at Yu Youniang, and then at Wang Yueying and Xiao Yulou, "When you say you mean you and your junior sister, or do you include the four of you together?" ”

Li Hui'er pursed her lips and said with a very natural look: "Of course we are the four of us together." ”

"No way!" Li Jing hurriedly shook his head and objected, he promised them to come to Wendeng before, but also because this time he came back was also a vacation, they were bored and wanted to come to play, and King Zhao agreed. But to go to Shamen Town is to take office, Shamen Town is a border army, and he has offended his boss Feng Zhang before he takes office, it is not a place to play. One of these is more expensive than the other, and he can't afford to deal with any of them.

"The workshop is going to follow Salmon Island, so naturally we will go too." Li Huier didn't listen to Li Jing's persuasion at all.

Li Jing said with a headache: "Sister Yueying is busy in this workshop anyway, you are just messing around." The county lord and junior sister have been out for so long, and they will honestly return to Dengzhou after the New Year, and Yu Niang will have to follow her aunt back to Yangzhou after the New Year. Besides, let's go to Shamen Town, which is the border of the town, what are you going to go with, should you really play? ”

Seeing Li Jing pull down her face, Yu Youniang retreated first, and pulled Li Hui'er on the side: "I see what San Lang said, that is the place where the border is suppressed, we don't want to go, and King Zhao will definitely not agree to us going." ”

Li Hui'er was unwilling, but she couldn't find an excuse, so she just sat there angrily and pinched her handkerchief without speaking. Wang Yueying didn't say a word, she was playing with a few daughters these days, but she also had some feelings, but in the face of Li Jing's words, she chose to obey Li Jing's arrangement in the end. However, Xiao Yulou was very clever, a pair of eyes rolled wildly, and quietly leaned into Li Hui'er's ear to say something.

Li Jing couldn't hear what Xiao Yulou was saying, but when he saw Li Hui'er's smile on her face again, she felt a little bad. Sure enough, Li Hui'er smiled very gently at Li Jing: "San Lang, I heard that you are going to buy a batch of weapons from Song Tingshi, but you are still short of some money, right?" ”

Li Jing immediately understood, it must have been what Xiao Yulou told her just now. The 1,000 sets of equipment in Song Wen's hand Li Jing was never willing to let go, but he only had more than 20,000 yuan in his hand, and he couldn't take it all out to buy equipment at once. After all, Li Jing is at least 30,000 yuan short. In the past few days, he has had a headache in order to make up this money, although he has planned to borrow from Zhen Donghai, but whether Zhen Donghai has so much money to borrow, whether he is willing to borrow it or not is another matter. borrowed from others, Li Jing also thought about it, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate all of a sudden. King Zhao and his teacher Cui Yunqing must be rich, but Li Jing is unwilling to borrow their money to buy equipment, and subconsciously, Li Jing has always wanted to maintain a certain boundary with them.

There are not many people who know about buying equipment, and they don't know that this girl knows about Lu Dao.

"Yes and what? It's tens of thousands of dollars, don't say you can borrow me. Li Jing said a little angrily. Although the county lord gambled last time and won 20,000 horses of silk at once, he also gave half of it to himself. Li Jing didn't believe that the county lord would have tens of thousands of yuan in cash.

"Look at the people who are not, how much worse are you, just ask. No matter what the county lord says, there are eight thousand people who can shoot at any time. ”

"Fifty thousand!" Li Jing opened his mouth widely, and one mouth was 50,000.

Hearing such a large amount, the county lord was also stunned for a moment. Although King Zhao is just a king who has been demoted out of Beijing, his net worth is still very rich. However, Li Hui'er, as the county lord, although she also has her own fiefdom and food, but after all, she is young, and her entire net worth may add up to eighty or ninety thousand, but it is impossible to let her come up with so much cash at once. "Why is there so much money? How much ordnance do you buy? ”

"If not, just say it, so as not to waste my saliva." Familiar with them, Li Jing sometimes speaks very directly.

Li Hui'er bit her lip, "I can help you borrow this money, but you have to promise me, if I help you borrow this money, you have to promise us to go to Shamen Town together." As for how long we stay and when we leave, it's up to us to decide. ”

Li Jing stared at Li Hui'er carefully, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, it's a word, if you can help me borrow 50,000 yuan in three days, then I have no objection to you going to Salmon Island." In order to get the weapon, Li Jing had to compromise. What's more, he didn't think that King Zhao could really let them go outside for a long time. When King Zhao came forward to call them back, it would not be his business.

"What? Looking for the Xiao family to borrow money? After Li Jing agreed to Li Hui'er's conditions, she immediately said the plan to borrow money, it turned out that what she said about borrowing money for Li Jing was to borrow money from Han Qiniang.

"What's not to do? The Xiao family is the number one scholar family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the roots are thicker than your waist. It's just 50,000 yuan, which is simply insignificant. Li Hui'er's face was full of smiles, and her smile was a little treacherous.

In fact, it is indeed as Li Huier said, when Li Jing found Xiao Han, who was chatting with his mother Han in the house, and euphemistically proposed to borrow a sum of money temporarily, this graceful lady with silver hair did not even move her brows, and directly agreed.

"How much are you borrowing?"

Li Jing thought about it, he now has more than 20,000 guan in his hand, and he is still 30,000 guan short of buying this batch of ordnance. And now he has thousands of people to support, and he has to pay at least 5,000 yuan a month. Borrowing once is borrowing, borrowing twice is also borrowing, and now that I have this opportunity, I simply borrow more, so I said: "The little nephew wants to borrow 50,000 yuan, but I have a batch of treasures worth more than 20,000 yuan, and I am willing to use this batch of treasures as collateral." When the turnover is opened, the principal and interest will inevitably be returned together. ”

Xiao Han's eyelids raised, turned his head to look at Li Jing, and said very calmly: "Yes." However, the old body also has a requirement. On that day, you refused to resist bandits and dealt with the exiles who were coerced, which was very appropriate, and you had the demeanor of a prime minister and a famous general. My Xiao family is the first big scholar clan in the south of the Yangtze River, but now the children in the clan are mostly gentlemen, neither know the difficulty of the ancestors to start a business, nor do they know the self-cultivation of the Qi family, the old body wants to select ten children from the younger generation of the Xiao family to join your army, how about it? ”

Hearing this condition, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had long known that this money was not so easy to borrow. He didn't want to borrow from Cui Yunqing and Li Wei, he just didn't want to be too bound by them. Although it is with the support of Cui Yunqing and Li Wei that Li Jing can have today's status so quickly, Li Jing also knows that those high-ranking scholars have very powerful means of controlling people, and the more they rely on now, the more they will be controlled in the future. Li Jing doesn't want his hard-working strength to make wedding dresses for others in the future.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family actually had such a plan. The old lady nominally said that she was sending ten young children of the Xiao family into the army to hone their training, but Li Jing had to doubt the old lady's true intentions. Ten children of the Xiao family will definitely not start as small soldiers when they join the army. These ten Xiao disciples have penetrated into his army, who knows how they will infiltrate, and who can guarantee that this army will be controlled by him Li Jing at that time? Compared with the Xiao family of the first clan in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Jing's conditions are really too different.

Li Jing couldn't be sure whether Xiao Han's condition really had anything to think of him or his team, or whether it was just the way these top masters had always done things. But in any case, this condition has touched Li Jing's most sensitive place.

Li Jing didn't answer immediately, but Xiao Han didn't urge, just sat there calmly. After a long while, Li Jing said, "How long do those disciples and wives plan to let them practice?" ”

"It's just three years."

"What if they can't adapt to the rules of our army?"

"If you break the military rules, you will punish him with the military rules. If they don't do anything, they can be two or three, and when you drive them out of the barracks, the old body won't blame you. Han Qiniang said lightly.

Hearing this result, Li Jing was already very satisfied. He didn't believe that he would not be able to deal with even a group of scholars by then. In order to borrow the money, he had to accept this additional condition. Although there is a great risk for this condition, just like financing, if one is not good, the controlling stake will be lost, but Li Jing has to take this risk. Li Jing nodded and accepted this condition, agreeing that the Xiao family would send ten young children to Li Jing's army for training after the year. At the same time, the Xiao family lent Li Jing 50,000 yuan for a period of three years, and Li Jing had to return 100,000 yuan after three years.

This is the power of the Xiao family, although a condition has been added before, but it is only an additional condition. Borrowing money is borrowing money, not only can the interest not be less, but also the real usury, after three years, the principal doubles, 50,000 becomes 100,000. At this point, the old lady was very strong, and there was no room for negotiation at all. If you want to borrow, you can borrow, and if you don't borrow, you will pull it down.

Although he was full of resentment towards this loan shark who was more powerful than a vampire, Li Jing had no choice but to sign the IOU and put his fingerprint on it. But in my heart, I already have a plan to rely on the opportunity in the future. The money has been borrowed now, and it will not be repaid in the future, how can it be another matter, but it is from the afterlife, and it is the uncle who owes the money, Li Jing still understands.

Li Jing sighed in his heart and came out of the house, but Li Hui'er and the others immediately followed.

"San Lang, now that you have borrowed the money, you have to do what you promised me."

Li Jing smiled: "Whatever you want, anyway, you are the county lord, and I can't control you in the first place." ”
