Jiuli Pavilion.
You Jiuli sent away the people who came to check.
That was the person who bought Jiulige.
Within a month, either pay back the money or move out of Jiuli Pavilion. Naturally, the repayment is not the original price, but requires 10% more silver than the principal.
It’s a trap, but there’s nothing we can do about it.
If Jiuli Pavilion is not mortgaged, the money will not be enough. But even so, the price of purchased aged rice cannot exceed 50 Wen, and the maximum price cannot exceed 70 Wen.
If you exceed this number, you will basically just wait to die.
"Is it really not possible?"
You Jiuli's eyes were dim and she muttered to herself.
Lu Yin hurriedly walked in and said, "Miss, there is a white-haired person outside looking for you."
"A person with white hair?" You Jiuli didn't react at first, but soon, her delicate body trembled and she said quickly: "Please!"
With white hair, there were only two people in her mind.
One is her father, and the other is the one beside the Holy One.
If it was his father, there was no way Luyin wouldn't know about it, and the result would be obvious.
Soon, Lu Yin walked in with Bai Ye.
"You Jiuli, a citizen girl, met my father-in-law. He suddenly came to visit. I wonder what happened?"
You Jiuli bowed her knees and saluted with a respectful expression.
"Father-in-law!?"
Lu Yin next to him was stunned.
When did the young lady know such a big shot?
It seems that the level is not low.
Because the outside is full of people brought by this father-in-law.
"Miss You, His Majesty asked our family to come here. Your Majesty has already paid for three hundred thousand dan of food for you."
Bai Ye chuckled.
"really?"
"You are not joking. But it is not free. Miss You needs to prepare one-third of the new rice, and our family will come to pick it up when the time comes."
"Yes, the daughter of the people will be properly prepared, thank you Your Majesty!" You Jiuli's face was full of excitement.
"Don't get excited, there's more." Bai Ye's eyes showed a cold light: "The rice merchants in the Imperial City took advantage of the disaster to enrich the country. Your Majesty is very angry."
"So I need Miss You to help me."
"I wonder if your majesty can use a Shangmin girl anywhere?" You Jiuli was slightly startled.
"Simple, ask Miss You to go to Haoyun Chamber of Commerce and Baisang Chamber of Commerce to buy food. No matter how much money they pay, buy them all. The more expensive, the better."
"The more expensive, the better?" You Jiuli was confused, and immediately showed her difficulty: "But I don't have that much money."
"No, you just need to pay a small deposit and create a receipt." Bai Ye smiled.
"Establish a written certificate? Father-in-law, if a written certificate is established, wouldn't it be ironclad?" You Jiuli didn't understand for a while.
"Miss You, whose world belongs to you?" Bai Ye said calmly.
"That goes without saying, of course Your Majesty..." You Jiuli paused, then revealed surprise: "I understand."
Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you understand. When the time comes, you can hand over the documents to our family, and Miss You won't need the rest."
"However, Miss You, please hurry up. Your Majesty's tolerance for these people has reached its limit!"
"Okay, I'll contact you later!" You Jiuli's face relaxed.
Sure enough, it’s easy to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.
For others, it was a done deal once the document was signed, but behind her stood His Majesty.
As long as His Majesty does not recognize this evidence, even if the Haoyun Chamber of Commerce and the Baisang Chamber of Commerce have extraordinary powers, there will be nothing they can do.
As expected of the current Holy Emperor, if he didn't take action, he would attack the two largest chambers of commerce in the imperial city.
"Miss You, please hand over the documents for the mortgage of Jiuli Pavilion to our family! The Holy One said that we are a little short of money recently."
Bai Ye continued.
You Jiuli's beautiful eyes lit up and she said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"You're welcome. Your Majesty, please tell me that this is not free help for you. Jiuli Pavilion is still under mortgage. You will need to pay back this money in the future."
"As for who it's for, I think you should understand!"
Bai Ye said calmly.
"The daughter of the people understands. When this matter is over, Jiuli will definitely collect the silver as soon as possible to redeem the documents from His Majesty."
"It's good to know, we're leaving."
Bai Ye took the receipt and left Jiulige directly.
"That's great, madam. Your Majesty is willing to help. With the size of the two major chambers of commerce, Haoyun and Baisang, they will be able to collect 200,000 shi of food."
Lu Yin said with surprise on her face.
"Lu Yin, don't talk nonsense." You Jiuli said in a deep voice: "What the Holy One wants to do has nothing to do with us. We just need to successfully complete the things that the Holy One has told us."
"The Holy Spirit helped us today, which is already a great kindness. How dare we ask for more?"
"No matter how much food we get from the two major chambers of commerce, Haoyun and Baisang, it cannot be counted in the test given to us by the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce."
"There are two hundred thousand shi of food left, and we still need to find a way on our own."
"Otherwise, the fate of Haoyun and Baisang Chamber of Commerce today may be the fate of our Jiuli Chamber of Commerce."
"Working for the Holy One is different from others. You must walk on thin ice at all times and never speculate on the Holy Heart."
"It's your first offense. I'll just pretend I didn't hear it this time, but it won't happen again."
Lu Yin shrank her head, stuck out her cute little tongue and said, "Miss, I understand."
"Well, pack up and let's go to Haoyun Chamber of Commerce first."
"yes!"
....
Inside Ningyuan Hall.
Lin Xu sat on the dragon chair and listened to Bai Ye's report.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Cao has already set off with the food. In addition to the gods from the four continents, there are also two thousand top-notch Dongchang factory guards following him."
"With two thousand first-class factory guards, Cao Zhengchun is really confident in his own strength."
Lin Xu smiled but didn't say anything.
With four land gods sitting in charge, even tens of thousands of cavalry would be hard to shake.
Moreover, the power of two thousand first-class factory guards cannot be underestimated.
Ordinary elite cavalrymen may not necessarily have third-rate strength.
Two thousand factory guards are comparable to an army of tens of thousands.
Even if we can't defeat it, it's more than enough to protect the food.
"Your Majesty, the Mingwu Pavilion that mortgaged Jiuli Pavilion has been confiscated, and a group of people have been put into prison, waiting to be punished."
"The crime used is usury."
Lin Xu nodded, the laws of Qianwu Country were quite complete.
Even for usury, there are relevant laws and regulations, and serious cases can even be directly sentenced to death.
The background of Mingwu Pavilion is not simple. I heard that there are shadows of several important officials in the court. The specific ones are still being investigated by Dongchang.
However, if Mingwu Pavilion dares to play loan sharking openly, the relationship behind it must be huge.
But this has nothing to do with him.
Because Lin Xu asked Bai Ye to use the name of Duke Xue Rong.
Although he showed his strength at the Mu family last night, in the eyes of outsiders, he was still the puppet.
What bad intentions could a puppet emperor have?
Even if it was him in the end, he would still think it was Xue Rong who instigated it.
After all, he has been under the control of the Xue family since he was a child.
Unless they see it with their own eyes, no one will believe that a puppet raised by the Xue family can one day become powerful.
"How much is it?" Lin Xu asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, there are about more than 20 million taels of silver, countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and precious jewelry."
"If we sell them all, we can get about 70 million taels of silver."
Lin Xu was startled when he heard Bai Ye's words.
Good guy, a Mingwu Pavilion is actually so rich.
No wonder so many people dare to commit crimes, it’s a huge profit!
However, Lin Xu did not use the money again.
Although we have enough food for the time being, we won't be able to eat it for long.
And there are many ways to use money in the future, such as reconstruction of disaster areas, purchasing medicinal materials to treat epidemics, etc.
What's more, he now has 200,000 more mouths. If the Mu family army gets hungry, the old guy Mu Jiushan will definitely evacuate them.
Even killing him may not be useful at that time.
