Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 524 Mortgage Mortgage Mortgage
Xue Shichang was going crazy.

The owner went crazy, and the twelve directors went crazy together. From Cao Sanxi to Fan Mingjing and then to Wang Chongwen, the major shareholders snorted in unison. Just fucking bet on how much money these Yangzhou salt merchants have, I don’t believe these bastards I could really starve myself to death.

Without more than six major shareholders nodding, it is not enough to hold a board meeting, and the executive director Xue Shichang finally got angry when he left the Songjiang headquarters building in a cold sweat. Don't be so fucking anxious, I'm only worth a million taels, so I'm afraid of a ball!

But the next day, something that made him even more mad happened again.

These bastards actually came to Jiaduobao's bank for a loan, and Shi Tianfu, the big shopkeeper of the bank, agreed as if his head had been kicked by a donkey!
In fact, the Yangzhou salt merchants and Donglin Fushe also fought with Song Qingshu with injuries. A while ago, Song Qingshu and Fu Wang seemed to have an unpleasant relationship, and the Daixian Light Industry Base, which has always been the benchmark of Jiaduobao, was unexpectedly closed. It changed hands, and there is still a place where Song Qingshu became famous in the markets of the four provinces, which attracted these Yangzhou salt merchants like a pile of rotten meat to flies. As a result, many people invested their money in it without even thinking about it. The ticket number followed closely behind the Jiaduobao ticket number, Song Qingshu took a step back, and they took a step forward, opening the ticket number to the hometown of Shanxi merchants.

But soon, these people regretted it. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, the war situation in Hebei was too turbulent. After the First World War in Kaifeng, Henan governor Li Xianfeng committed suicide in fear of crime. Border Governor Zheng Chongjian was dissatisfied with the emperor's decision to drop Shaanxi soldiers to Jizhen, and wrote a letter of resignation as a protest. This good commander who sat in the position of Sun Chuanting in history escaped the implication of Yang Sichang's death, but walked the old road of Sun Chuanting and was furious The emperor sent Jin Yiwei to arrest him and put him in prison. Now there are no commanders on the three sides, the officers and soldiers from all walks of life are domineering and centrifugal, the morale of the army is scattered, and the dragons have no leader. It seems that it has become a task that is far away in the foreseeable future.

The economies of the northern provinces are on the verge of collapse. In this year alone, salt merchants in Henan and Shaanxi lost as much as 500 million to 800 million taels. The biggest loss was the Thai Ritian Bank. Song Qingshu’s loan must be mortgaged, but the salt merchants do not need to , As long as the reputation is enough, you can get a loan. As a result, like Li Xianfeng, he owed 70 taels to Tai Ritian to clear the court. Once he died, the debt would become dead.

However, in order to kill Song Qingshu, the Yangzhou business group still needed a huge silver gap, so they set their sights on Jiaduobao, which also had a huge amount of money.

"What? Doesn't Jiaduobao Bank claim that everyone can borrow money? Could it be that the title deed below is fake?"

"No loan!"

Holding the big seal on the hand of the big shopkeeper Shi Tianfu with one hand, Xue Shichang turned his head angrily and shouted: "Songjiang Manor hangs a hundred taels of silver and no one cares about it. You dare to ask for ten thousand taels of a broken manor, and these broken books You bastard, you actually want to cheat money here, you are blind!"

"Blind? Are you blind? This is the ancestral home of the Qian family, the place where Fengshui meets Songjiang, and these books, these are the only Tang and Song books collected by Mr. Qian. You, you insult them with dirty words, you, You are simply rude and foolish!"

After all, he is a wealthy servant from the Qian family, who curses people like a scholar. In fact, Xue Shichang doesn't know that these books and the Qian family's manor are all worth the money, but the money loaned out is for monopoly. Food, starve them to death, not to mention being rude, Xue Shichang is willing to bite people.

Just when Xue Shichang was about to bite the wealthy servant of the Qian family twice, there were two more applause at the door, and when he turned his head, Sun Chuanting, a giant in the begging army, came running towards the sample books with bright eyes, urgently I just opened it and looked at it. At the back, Song Qingshu shook his head helplessly, and strolled over with his arms folded.

"Director Xue, you are also a scholar. How can a scholar slander books? This is Mr. Qian Qianyi's family, right? Go back and tell Mr. Qian that I, Mr. Song, bought his Jiangyun Tower, and he didn't pay back the price!"

"Buy? Hmph, Mr. Qian is just trying to raise money to fight traitors for the country. After a while, these books will return to Mr. Qian's hands!"

As expected of a noble servant, he always has such a positive image and awe-inspiring righteousness, but Xue Shichang is still secretly happy when the people who watch Qian's mansion scold his boss, as long as Song Qingshu gets angry and refuses to accept these things, he will be able to stop him. A lot of trouble, this is the noose stuck around Jiaduobao's neck!

Who knew that before he, the executive director of the grain market, added fuel, Song Qingshu smiled calmly and spread his hands.

"If Mr. Qian is really serving the country and the people, God will naturally return these books to him, but if he does not have that integrity, then God will send the books to a real sage, and go back and tell Mr. Qian, I Song will gamble with him!"

"Humph!"

With a sneer of disdain, the servant in the blue hat took the pawn ticket issued by Shi Tianfu, turned around and left without paying any attention to Song Qingshu.

"Master! Master!"

As soon as he let go, 96 taels went out, which meant that the Rulin Company could collect more than [-] dans of grain. Maybe the tens of thousands of people under him would have no food supply, collapsed, and become the fuse for the destruction of the Jiaduobao Company. He wanted to scold Song Qingshu for having his head caught by the door, but with trembling hands, Xue Shichang could only shout these two honorifics with emotion.

"I'm sorry, Director Xue, you have been suspended after the resolution of the board of directors!"

It was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky rang in Xue Shichang's ears, making this man in his 40s almost faint out of breath. He really felt like Yue Fei. Come for such a reward.

Even Sun Chuanting raised his eyes from the ancient book, full of pity, Song Qingshu was also helpless by his sad and angry eyes, helplessly pulled out the seal from his arms, wrote a note, and handed it to Xue Shichang.

"Director Xue, everyone is not obsessed with your ability and loyalty, but because there are some extraordinary times now. In this way, I personally sponsor you to go to our new trading point Taiwan to relax. After three months, the board of directors will decide your next step. position!"

He really didn't even feel like cursing, so he took the note casually, clasped his fists, and Xue Shichang went out listlessly, only Song Qingshu and the other three were left in the big shopkeeper's account room, but looking at the direction in which he left, the expressions of the three people were They all became weird, looked at each other a few times, and could no longer hold back the emotions in their chests. Song Qingshu and Shi Tianfu couldn't help but hammered the table and laughed loudly. Sun Chuanting also grinned helplessly, bowed his head, and It is to focus on the ancient books.

When I went to Qian's house to move books that day, Song Qingshu didn't go, but according to the guy who came back, Qian Qianyi's face was very exciting that day, he stroked the ancient books, and then he looked like watching his lover being taken away by other men , Watching the clerk of Jiaduobao Bank put his Jiangyunlou collection of books into camphorwood boxes one by one, and then transported them away.

It is said that halfway through the counting, Qian Qianyi simply went back to the Rushi Building with Liu Rushi's support, hammering his chest, and never came out again.

With such a precedent as Qian Qianyi, famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River also pawned off their book collections, mortgaged a large sum of loans to Jiaduobao to defeat Song Qingshu. Became the number one book collector in the south of the Yangtze River and a big landlord to take out. As for the 10,000+ volumes of ancient books received, Song Qingshu waved his hand and copied!
In Songjiang, a new library was completed. Almost all the valuable ancient books were copied, printed, and then stored in it. However, only the scholars of the Jiangnan Lecture Hall have the reading card of the library, so that the enemy can enjoy watching it My own collection of books, but I am not qualified to read them. This ridicule, like a loud slap in the face, was slapped hard on the faces of Donglin Neo Confucianists, and made this food war even more tragic.

At the end of September and the beginning of October, even the last crop of late rice was almost harvested. However, there are at least 20 to [-] tans of grain in the Jiangnan market, which have not been purchased. However, at this time, it seems that the salt merchants There is a problem with the capital chain. Many landlords in Changshu have only received the deposit, but the subsequent grain payments are in arrears. The grain will rot if left for a long time. Because of this matter, Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu seemed to have gone to Yangzhou for another party, and Song Qingshu received an invitation to meet in Cuiyun Building on October [-]th.

The signature is Qian Qianyi.

The mutual blog between the chaebols of the two parties has reached this juncture, and it has reached the point of life and death. Moreover, the Jiangnan family and the Yangzhou chaebol have almost spit out their old background. Song Qingshu doesn't think that now, Qian Qianyi is asking for peace. Song Qingshu was really at a loss as to what he was going to do.

After discussing with Sun Chuanting and the others for a day, Song Qingshu still agreed.

Cuiyun Building is a scene in Songjiang County, and it also belongs to the Qian family, but the embarrassing thing is that it is now mortgaged to Song Qingshu for 7000 taels of silver. This is how it works.

Now is an extraordinary period. Before Song Qingshu arrived at Songjiang Street, there were already densely packed beggar army spies and military reunification spies scattered around, peeping around in a wretched manner.

The carriage stopped in front of Cuiyun Building, and Gu Mei also greeted her at the door in person, she nodded secretly to Song Qingshu to express that there was nothing unusual.

The inside of the building looks ordinary, people of all races should eat and drink, on the second floor, in a single room with only a window, with a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a few small dishes, the white-haired Qian Qianyi is very elegant Holding the wine glass and looking out, beside him is a young woman wearing a scholar's Confucian robe and Tang Bohu's two-winged crown.Although the woman looked masculine and heroic, her face with bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin, and delicate little Qiong nose were still recognizable at a glance.

To be honest, this was the first time Song Qingshu saw Liu Rushi, and he couldn't help turning his head to look a few more times, but suddenly his arm tightened, and a pink arm straddled his arm, holding his arm. Naturally hugging Song Qingshu, they made it to the opposite side of the bench together.

A smell of gunpowder was evident on the table. Both of them were wearing Tang fashions. Liu Rushi was a bold and unrestrained woman from the Tang Dynasty who rode a horse in Hufu and ostentatiously flaunted the West Market. The skirt is the piano, the pipa, the dignified lady of the Tang Dynasty, one side is full of heroism, the other side is charming and charming, the Qinhuai double peers compete for beauty, obviously adding a lot of color to this weird party.

However, with a pair of soft meat balls clamping his arms, Song Qingshu's attention was still more on the other side, rather than eating what was in the bowl and looking at what was in the pot, but after all, important things were important, and Qian Qianyi's expression made him feel ashamed. He felt something was wrong, and Liu Rushi, facing Gu Hengbo's provocative winking eyes, seemed a little uneasy, and even had this kind of resentment.

Is Donglin Party infighting?Unequal distribution of spoils?It is not impossible.Watching the two of them pick up their wine glasses, Song Qingshu thought to himself...
