Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 68
Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, because his left hand turned his right hand and did not flow out.
"Well, very good, the meat is rotten in the pot. As for the boy Zhang Jinyu from the Luoyunhou Mansion, he must be wooed. Miss Yang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She borrowed money as an excuse to eat millions of dollars. Continue."

"The second one is the 30 taels of silver borrowed by Shen Zhongxin, the servant of the household department. The slave made the decision to waive the interest for Shen Zhongxin."

"That's right, he has to deal with the repayment from the Ministry of Accounts, so it's a good idea to give some rewards. What about the third one?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Quan hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty;

"Your Majesty, this old slave apologizes. I repaid the third one in the name of my nephew. The principal and interest totaled 133 million taels, and I paid back 123 million."

"Hmph, you, go back and get 23 taels from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the household department will not move, so you can work hard in the future. Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Dai Quan stood up and continued to report;

"Your Majesty, I told the servant of the household department to pay 5% of the interest for the first repayment, 6% for the second, 7% for the third, 8% for the top ten after excluding the three, and 9% for the rest. Interest. And now the top three are used up."

"You have a good idea. You can't beat them to death with a stick. Give them some motivation. Besides, if you really don't have money to pay back, you can pay back the interest first, and come to the household department to write the IOU again. I suddenly thought, these courtiers can't let him pay back It's over, if you have money, you can talk about it, but if you really don't have money, it's not a harm to others."

"Your Majesty is merciful."

Wu Huang Zhou Shihong also thought about it for a day, and felt that his previous thoughts were a bit wrong.

"Decree that the money is not repaid. Furthermore, the court can use this to spur the courtiers. There are many things that can be done with this matter. This is easier than those who pay off the loan at one time."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Dai Quan also felt that Emperor Wu's sophistication had changed several times a day, and he had so many thoughts, it was hard to fathom.

"Go and mark the previous loan and repayment items and post them at the door of the household department. It will be clear at a glance, so that other people in the household department of the province will not understand. Therefore, I also heard that the Beijing Palace will hold a noble banquet, so pay attention. "

"It's Your Majesty, the servant understands, let's arrange it now."

Emperor Wu then nodded and said;
"Go."

Capital, House of Internal Affairs.

Bai Guangju brought Bai Shaofeng to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, directly found the prince and prince in charge, and then explained his reason for coming, and paid special attention to it.
"Wang Gonggong, this is a thrilling one, but fortunately you are fine."

"Hey, it turns out that you are here in person, Mr. Baihou. Who said otherwise? Fast forward, come and serve tea."

"Don't bother, this is not due to the blessing of Neixiang, I can buy an estate for my younger brother and younger sister."

Where did Wang Gonggong think that this is still here to buy property, and now he panics when he hears about buying property and borrowing money,
"What does Hou Ye mean by this inner picture?"

"Didn't I borrow another one million taels of silver? Dai Xiang gave me a note asking me to come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy some property for one million taels."

Bai Guangju handed over the note written by the Minister of Internal Affairs, and Eunuch Wang took it over and read it, and understood what the Minister of Internal Affairs meant.

"What property does the Marquis want?"

When Bai Guangju heard what Wang Gonggong said, he saw that there was a door, so he handed over a thousand taels of silver bills, and Wang Guanshi directly stuffed it into his arms without hesitation.

"Eunuch Wang, I want to buy the same property as Luo Yunhou, Zhang Jinyu and Zhang Houye."

Steward Wang showed a meaningful smile,

"Master Hou has a good eye. Those are specially selected by the inner minister for Mrs. Zhang Houye. Now I only have shops, restaurants, and courtyards. Master Hou knows about Zhuangzi outside the capital. Thousands of dollars are hard to find. "

"Well, the prince doesn't have a Zhuangzi?"

"Yes, there is, but who dares to give it if the emperor doesn't speak, and Prime Minister Dai can't make the decision."

Hou Baiguangju in Xiangyang also gave up when he heard this, so he would choose something that can directly make money, and give his sister a house, because she has always wanted to have her own yard.

"Wang Gonggong, then if you want a restaurant, a house, and 10 shops, do you think it's enough?"

"Okay, Master Hou has a good eye, but the location of the house is very ordinary, and you also know that the good ones are not in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"It's okay, Eunuch Wang, I understand."

"Well, the miscellaneous family will do the math for you, 10 taels for 60 shops, 20 taels for a restaurant, and 20 taels for a house. There is a total of 100 million taels of silver. The money is just right for Lord Hou. If you have no problem, you can sign it." Deed of Jonah."

Bai Guangju was a little dumbfounded, this is different from the price bought by Luoyunhou Mansion, the youngest saw the price on the brochure, why is there such a big difference,
"Wang Gonggong, let me ask, why is this price different from the price that Mrs. Zhang Jinyu Mrs. Hou bought?"

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Guanshi Wang raised his eyes and looked at Bai Guangju. Seeing Guanshi Wang's reaction, Bai Guangju understood that there might be other things involved, so he stopped asking.

"Wang Gonggong, you got it wrong, so that's it, today is a delay to Wang Gonggong's blessing."

Only then did Guanshi Wang show a smile;
"Master Hou is also a smart person, and miscellaneous people like to deal with smart people. Let me tell you this, Madam Yang gave it for free and no one said anything. It was approved by the above. As for the price of this, it is only for today, next year I want to raise it again, if Master Hou didn’t come here in person, he wouldn’t even want to buy it without 150 million taels.”

"Oh, my lord, thank you so much. Well, if you are free, please inform Ben Hou that the best restaurant in the capital city, Zuixianlou, will stop when you are drunk. I must treat you properly."

"That's a good relationship. It's easy to talk about. Come here and invite Lord Hou. Let's sign and make a deposit. You can get the land deed."

"well."

The two of them came to the back room, wrote the agreement, signed and pledged it, one share per person, Bai Guangju took the contract and bid farewell to Steward Wang and left the yamen, the third child outside was anxiously waiting there, so he didn't dare to go in, for fear of disturbing his elder brother When I was doing business, I was guarding at the gate of the yamen, and when I saw my elder brother coming out, I hurried up to meet him.

"Brother, how is it?"

Bai Guangju kept silent on purpose, but the youngest saw that it was broken, which was not possible.

"No way, didn't it work?"

"Well, it's done, the title deed is all on me."

"Oh, you're still being serious when you become a big brother."

The third child let out an angry oops.

Dai Quan left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, sent a small yellow gate to the Ministry of Households to post a notice, and didn't ask any more questions. He went directly to the Imperial City Department to thoroughly investigate the robbery case in the capital to see if there were really those princes' remnants behind it.

Bai Guangju returned to the Hou Mansion with the title deed, the third child was still speechless in excitement, holding the title deed of the restaurant and store in his hand and kept stroking,

"Okay, third, take your share and go back to rest and live a good life. I'll send someone to deliver your second sister's when she comes back."

"Thank you, big brother. This is the big deal on my little brother's mind. Second sister, I don't want you to go. I'll go there myself and tell her the good news, haha."

"Hey, kid, take it easy, these property belong to your second sister's private property, so when you get there, give it to others in private, so that no one else can see it."

Seeing that the eldest brother was talking about serious business, the third child was not ambiguous,
"I know my brother, I will be careful, and I will never let others find out."

"Let's go."

"Then I'm leaving. By the way, big brother. I heard that the Beijing Palace is going to host a banquet. You won't be going, will you?"

Bai Guangju's heart tightened, wondering how did you know that,
"Where did you hear that, third child?"

"It's true. It's spread all over the world. Lord Zhen Guo took the lead to go. As long as there are nobles outside, they want to go."

"Hey, nothing can be done, that's all,"

"Brother, what's the matter?"

"get out."

"Hey."

Bai Guangju ignored the third child and went straight back to the dormitory, but the third child was at a loss. He didn't know what the elder brother said wrong because of himself, but when he saw the land deed in his hand, he forgot everything. Excited to find the second sister.

When he arrived at the second sister Bai Wenyao's house, he entered the gate without a pass, and the porter knew that it was the third master of his wife's natal Marquis's house, but he didn't dare to stop him.

When Bai Shaofeng came to the backyard, he saw his second sister teasing his little nephew in the house, and happily ran over to tease him, but Bai Wenyao knew that something must happen when the third child came, so he handed the child over to him The personal nanny took the third child and went to the back room.

"Third brother, why are you here? Didn't you go to the household department to pay back the money with your elder brother?"

The youngest said excitedly;
"Second sister has finished repaying it, and everything is settled. Eldest brother borrowed another 100 million taels from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and sold the property income to the two of us. This is from elder brother to you."

Bai Shaofeng took out the land deeds of four shops and a house from his bosom and handed them over. The second sister took it and looked at it and her eyes turned red. She is still the eldest brother who has taken care of me since she was a child.

Customs.

Zhang Jinyu spent a day relaxing by the Luoyun Lake outside the customs, and discussed with Wu Yayu about the future arrangements of the tribe, and went back to rest after eating.

Having nothing to say all night, Zhang Jinyu slept soundly tonight.

　Even if the current episode is over, I am also confused by this.

　　Next, prepare to enter Beijing in Chapter 80!
