The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 145: Uncle, listen to the old servant’s advice
It's amazing.

The world after Liang Xin's death turned out to be so attractive.

You have to listen more, even if you don’t understand, you still have to listen.

Liang Xin stopped talking, and no one asked any more questions. It took time to digest what they heard today.

Liang Xin walked out of the side door of the East Crossing Courtyard and went to the main charcoal shop.

Although she said she had taken over the charcoal shop, this was the first time Liang Xin went to the charcoal shop.

Zhao Bijun heard that Liang Xin went to the main office of Tanpu and immediately rushed there from home.

When Zhao Bijun arrived, Liang Xin was having tea and chatting with the general manager Cao Rui.

Cao Rui was Cao Bin's servant for ancestors. It can be said that his family has been in Cao's family for more than 100 years. Even Cao Tan would call him Rui Bo when he saw him.His son was granted an official title 20 years ago when the Cao family was in great trouble, and then followed Cao Ping to Wenzhou. Cao Ping returned to Beijing following the imperial edict, while his son stayed behind and was in charge of three thousand naval forces.

Liang Xin and Zhao Ji settled accounts, but Zhao Ji couldn't do it.

Liang Xin settled accounts with Cao Rui. Cao Rui was a professional and soon understood Liang Xin's approach. It may seem that the interest rate is lower, but the bad debt rate will be reduced several times, the money will flow faster, and the income will not be bad.

However, there are also problems.

Cao Rui said: "Uncle, if this matter needs to be done, it can definitely be done. In Bianjing City, the money people are easy to talk to. They can leave their money with us, but it is often the case that they cannot even get back the principal. Our family has Guarantee. But I’m afraid it won’t be easy to deal with the money bank. The money bankers who have been entrenched in Bianjing for many years have many tricks.”

Liang Xin smiled: "Rui Bo, your joke is very interesting."

When I arrived at Zhao Bijun just now, I was frightened when I heard the word "bank money."

Bankers are people who lend money and collect debts for others. There is nothing they can't do to collect debts.

Cao Rui also smiled: "I have three strategies."

When Liang Xin heard Cao Tan talk about Cao Rui, she subconsciously responded: "What's the next best strategy? What's the next best strategy?"

Cao Rui was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Yes."

Liang Xin knew very well that this old man was not a fuel-efficient lamp.In the Cao family, it used to belong to the big accountant, who did not care about the accounts, but only checked them.Dealing with those troubles at the same time, all kinds of troubles.

Now that he is married to Cao Tan, Cao Pingcai invites him to be the chief shopkeeper of the charcoal shop.

Cao Rui said: "The next step is that the brothers at home have a lot of free time. The younger ones, under 13 years old, can just bring their servants to fight. If our Cao family is not enough, we can invite Pan, Shi, Li and Gao. Also ask people to come along.”

"The next step is to fight for money. If someone is killed, he will be killed. The most that Kaifeng Mansion can do is to appoint a gangster to fight with weapons."

"Let's make a plan..." Cao Rui looked at Liang Xin: "Adjust taxes and taxes."

Liang Xin laughed loudly: "No, there is a higher strategy."

"Please let me know clearly."

"Adjust the troops and horses in front of the palace, and wash the heads of each armor with blood."

Head A is the boss of the bank, the boss of a group of bankers.

Cao Rui was puzzled: "Uncle, the troops and horses of the Palace Front Division cannot be used indiscriminately. Is there any opportunity?"

Liang Xin: "The official invested 5000 million yuan."

Cao Rui understood: "Then, I know what to do."

Zhao Bijun saluted in front of Liang Xin at this time, and Liang Xin said: "Speak directly."

Zhao Bijun: "My family used to run a cloth shop. I have a friend named Chen who has been in business for many years. He once gave a banker named Lu Gao [-] guan. Lu Gao used the [-] guan to lend money and the interest compounded. After getting rich, he planned to kill Uncle Chen and defaulted on the debt. Later, he colluded with the government and the matter came to nothing. A few years ago, he came to Bianjing from a neighboring county and now has money, power and people. "

Liang Xin looked at Zhao Bijun: "Rich? Powerful? Someone?"

When Liang Xin asked this question, Zhao Bijun didn't know how to answer.

What does it mean to be rich, powerful and well-connected?

See who you compare with.

Don't say it's the Cao family. Cao Rui is sitting here. When Lu Gao sees him, he also has to salute, not daring to be disrespectful at all.

Cao Rui picked up the tea cup and said calmly: "It's better to see the red one first. Since the young lady mentioned this person, I need to do the surgery on him first."

On the same day, all charcoal shops began to advertise on the streets.

According to Liang Xin's original design, the price of carbonated cakes not only did not rise, but actually fell.

If you don’t have money to buy charcoal, you can borrow it.I am borrowing [-] yuan, which is enough to buy half a year's worth of charcoal cakes.If it's five thousand, you can also buy an oil lamp and a new charcoal stove that can store hot water for heating and cooking in winter.

To repay the money after half a year, you only need to pay back 360 and [-] yuan, of which [-] yuan is interest and [-] yuan is called handling fee.

Who can borrow and who will default on the loan?

The Cao family also has people in charge of money banking business, and they understand.

However, they don't understand why interest rates are so low.

The master gave the order, so they just thought it was the master doing good deeds. They didn't need to think too much and just did as they were told.

What was Bian Jingcheng’s reaction?
Cao family, do good deeds?

I heard that the eldest lady of the Liang family, who was married into the Liang family from the Cao family, is happy.

Yes, that must be the case, it is a good deed.

For a time, all the charcoal shops in the entire Bianjing city were crowded with people. Countless people came with large and small bags carrying things. Field deeds, land deeds, gold and silverware were the most suitable pledges.

There are many others who are brought here by their families.

What to pledge, the person to pledge.

Bring the mother-in-law and the baby.

In the backyard of a charcoal shop, a nine-foot-tall man was sharpening a knife. He finally grabbed this opportunity. As a servant, he could eat as much as three people, but he never had the chance to make contributions to his master's family.

Now, the Gao family sends him here.

He is just waiting for the troublemakers to appear, and then he is responsible for the white knives coming in and the red knives coming out.

Gao Ren.

The servants of the Gao family have been in the Gao family since my grandfather's generation.

By the way, that Lu Gao.

He is bad enough, ruthless enough, and fierce.

But not stupid.

Such a low interest rate from the charcoal shop is equivalent to destroying the livelihood of all money dealers in Bianjing City.

Are you making trouble?
silly.

All living beings in the Cao family are equal. Within seven steps of that thing, if it sticks to the side, it will be disabled, and if you confront it head-on, you will die.

What's more, what if it doesn't?

That's the Cao family.

He is not stupid.

Therefore, Gao Ren's sharpening of the knife was just a sharpening of the knife.

For several days in a row, no one came out to make trouble, not even one dared to come over and say a word of gossip.

Gao Ren was very depressed and lost his appetite. He only ate ten roasted donkey meats for lunch and drank three bowls of broth before losing his appetite.

Instead, it was his younger brother, Gao Shen.

Although he is only seven and a half feet tall, has little strength, and cannot dance with a knife, he has been very busy these days.

(Song Bachi men were basically 1.8 meters four, while Song Bachi men were 23 centimeters)

Gao Shen is busy.

What a wealthy family wants is not just a little bit of coal. At this price, a wealthy family can buy a carbon cake starting at 10 yuan.Ordinary single-burner heating stoves start with dozens of them.

A wealthy family like the Cao family has [-] single-burner heating stoves at one time.

Like an ordinary small businessman's house, there are at least three single-burner heating stoves.

An ordinary small stove with a single burner and three pieces of coal cake, with a hollow clay bucket surrounding the stove, is the first choice for ordinary people in Bianjing.
