Chapter 1372 Mortgage Loans
The Wu brothers walked out of the mansion and did not dare to delay. They immediately came to the Hejian County Prince's Mansion and handed over the letter, asking to see the prince's son.
Not long after, the disciples came out to greet him, saying that it was the prince who invited him.
The two of them followed the door and entered the corner door on one side. They saw that the pavilions and water pavilions in the prince's palace were beautiful, and the buildings were row upon row. Everything was filled with a sense of wealth and grandeur, and it was so luxurious and gorgeous that they had never seen before.
Although the two brothers were born in the Duke's palace, their father died young and their family fell into decline. Compared with the children of the first-class aristocratic families, their horizons are more than one level behind them? I have long been stunned by the wealth and luxury in this county and prince's palace, and I am tiptoeing...
In the study, the prince of the county received the Wu brothers.
Li Chongyi, the prince's eldest son, is in his twenties. He is tall and handsome, and every move he makes resembles his father. Even when he is sitting upright in the chair, he still has the majestic bearing of a superior.
Holding the letter in his hand, Li Chongyi looked at the Wu brothers and said calmly: "Last time, Erlang Ranran said hello to a certain person, saying that Mrs. Wu's natal brother wanted to take over the Dongshi renovation project of Jingzhao Mansion, but... There is a shortage of some money. Because he is Jing Zhaoyin, if he takes the money directly from you, he may cause trouble to the censor, so he asked me to lend you some money."
The Wu brothers looked at each other. It turned out that Mei Niang had always said that she could not take the decision to give them her own money without authorization. It was not because she didn't want to, but she told Fang Jun, who had considered it. This is also true. At that time, Fang Jun was so proud that his horse was hoofed. How could he be willing to make money out of thin air?
Then I thought again, wouldn't it be better if Fang Jun had been handed the official position of Jing Zhaoyin earlier? That way you won't have so many worries and you can lend them money directly...
But now that the matter is over, the two of them are not stupid enough to go back to Fang Jun to borrow money. Anyway, it doesn't matter whose money it is, and they have no intention of borrowing it seriously or not, so what does it matter? The most important thing is that the immediate difficulties must be overcome, and then we can talk about other things.
Wu Yuanqing saluted and said: "Erlang is cautious, but my brother is coming to cause trouble for the prince. I am really scared."
Li Chongyi nodded, thinking that these two people were better than the rubbish comments spread by the outside world. At least they knew the rules of politeness, so he said politely: "We are all a family, why should we be so polite? Madam Wu has already made it clear in this letter, you two I am willing to borrow 300,000 yuan as collateral for a period of one year, and I will be home nine times, but is this the case?”
The Wu brothers nodded, their hearts bleeding.
Mother!
It’s good to have money. What kind of business do you do? You can make a fortune just by borrowing money! I borrowed 300,000 yuan here, but got only 270,000 yuan, and I have to pay back 390,000 yuan after one year... If I can pay it off in time, that's not bad, after all, it can solve the urgent need. But if you can't get there, you will die. Judging from the relationship between Fang Jun and the Hejian County Prince's Mansion, even if he can't pay it off by then, he won't have to do anything to him. However, the rule of usury has always been that the donkey keeps making money, and the money will be paid back the next year. But it’s just over 500,000...
Li Chongyi said happily: "In that case, you two write a certificate and I will get the money for you."
Wu Yuanshuang had never seen a huge sum of more than 200,000 yuan in his whole life. He swallowed and said, "But my brother came in a hurry and didn't bring the house deed with him..."
"So what's the matter?" Li Chongyi waved his hands grandly and said calmly: "With this small amount of money, I am still afraid that you two will cheat? If not, you will write the evidence first, and then get the money for you, and I will send someone to give the money to you." Send it to your house and take the property deed back with you. What do you think?”
The two of them nodded in agreement. Look at the prince, the prince, who does things with dignity. Such a huge sum of money is just "a little money" in their eyes. The mortgage and other things are just a formality, and they don't care at all.
What a difference...
Li Chongyi immediately called an accountant, wrote down the voucher, and asked the Wu brothers to sign and deposit it.
Then, Li Chongyi suggested: "Two hundred and seventy thousand dollars is a bit huge. I heard that Xian Kunzhong still owes Jingzhao Mansion a ransom? If not, I will write you a letter and you can hand it over to Jingzhao Mansion. The ransom will be paid directly to them by someone, and you only need to bring the balance. I don’t know how to do this? ”
Naturally, the two of them would have no objections. How could the dignified prince of the county embezzle their tens of thousands of dollars in ransom?
When the two parties were settled, the Wu brothers returned home with a huge sum of 190,000 guan. The ransom of 80,000 guan was settled by Li Chongyi and Jingzhao Mansion, and the two mortgaged their ancestral home to Li Chongyi.
When the servant got back the house deed from Wu's house, Li Chongyi called a close servant and handed him the certificate written by the Wu brothers together with the house deed, and told him: "Go to Fang Mansion and hand these over to Fang Jun's concubine. Lady Wu, you must never take advantage of others, remember?”
"Here!"
The servant responded and headed to the house with his things.
Li Chongyi stretched himself, thought for a while, and went to the study room of the back house to find his father, Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County.
Li Xiaogong was dressed in loose casual clothes and was leaning on the soft couch in the study. Two maids were helping him hold his legs and feet. They were holding a small silver flask in one hand and sipping wine in small sips. The other hand was holding a delicate figure. The little maid was groping in her half-open arms, feeling that the little maid was sweating and panting softly, her pretty face was flushed, her red lips were biting lightly, and her eyes were dripping with water...
When Li Chongyi entered the study, he saw this scene.
However, he has long been accustomed to it. He has seen how ridiculous his father is more than once. He showed no embarrassment on his face and greeted him respectfully.
Li Xiaogong stretched out his foot and kicked him, and several maids hurriedly got up, first saluted Li Chongyi, and then hurried away.
After yawning and putting the wine bottle aside, Li Xiaogong asked, "Is there something wrong with my son?"
Li Chongyi pondered for a moment, and then persuaded him with gentle words: "It's not that the son wants to interfere with his father, it's just that the wine and sex are like a steel knife that cuts bones. Sometimes he feels relaxed and happy for it, but if he has no restraint, he chases his soul and takes his life... I hope my father will be more careful." Take care of your health and exercise some restraint.”
"Get the hell out of here! Are you able to take care of my affairs? Okay, okay, as a father, you know what's going on. What's the matter that you haven't said yet?"
Li Xiaogong cursed in displeasure.
Li Chongyi is helpless, but filial piety is the way of heaven. Only I can beat my son. If my son can't persuade me, then there is really nothing he can do...
He told the story about the Wu brothers coming to the house to borrow money, and then said: "This money was originally the profit allocated by the shipyard, and Fang Jun deserved it. Logically speaking, the son should not talk about how he used it. .Can I took advantage of him and loaned it to the Wu brothers instead. Could it be that Fang Jun was really greedy for the small profit, and he was embarrassed to make money from his uncle, so he turned around and walked away from his son? Suffer? ”
Li Xiaogong sat up from the soft couch, looked at the majestic eldest son in front of him, and said slowly: "My son must understand a truth. The more you know about worldly affairs, the better. The more you know, the better." The more troubles, the more troubles you will encounter, which means you will always encounter risks. Even if you know some things, you still have to try your best to pretend not to know. It is difficult for a confused person to pretend to be smart. It's harder for a smart person to be stupid. My family's reputation and status are now at the highest level, so as a father, I often feel afraid that something bad will happen if my father is gone. You have to remember that there is no need for anything. Investigate it seriously, don’t take advantage when you can be at a disadvantage, and don’t be smart when you can be confused. Only in this way can our family survive for a long time.”
Li Chongyi was a little confused. He didn't know what his father was feeling today.
Just now you were so beautiful and gentle in your arms...
However, he has always been respectful and filial. No matter whether Li Xiaogong is reasonable or not, he will never be disobedient, let alone such profound and profound wisdom in life?
Hearing this, he bowed and said: "When a son is taught, he will definitely remember his father's teachings."
Li Xiaogong chuckled and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be so formal. He leaned back slightly on the pillow and said casually: "As for the Wu brothers...it's just that Mrs. Wu is preparing for a rainy day. Although Fang Jun suffered setbacks this time, he still superior The path to promotion is still open, and his highest point must be after the crown prince ascends the throne. In this way, how could Mrs. Wu allow her two stupid natal brothers to become a hidden danger to Fang Jun's career and be attacked by political enemies? "
Li Chongyi suddenly realized: "In other words, this is actually a trap..."
"Of course, just wait and see. In the end, the Wu brothers can only obediently stick to Mrs. Wu and dare not cause any more trouble. In fact, in my opinion, it would be better to be more ruthless and avoid future troubles directly. ”
Li Chongyi was sweating a little. Isn't this too cruel? Are you going to kill someone just for an unfounded possibility?
But he was a little naive after all. If Fang Jun did this again, he would probably give Li Xiaogong a thumbs up. Historically, Wu Meiniang killed several brothers by various means, but it was not just because of hatred of being abused in childhood.
When it comes to ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, what does mere personal hatred mean?
Without these brothers who seek death, Wu Meiniang can be regarded as a perfect golden body, and will not give any chance to those enemies who attack and annihilate him...
I will go home tonight and visit the grave tomorrow morning, so I will update it tomorrow night. I hope you guys can understand.
