"First, everyone, please find Mr. Gongsun, make statistics on your situation, and report the amount of silver needed to deal with this emergency. Mr. Gongsun will compile a total and give it to me."
"Second, report all available deposits and objects that can be exchanged for money in the past three days to Mr. Gongsun, and make a total count."
"Third, if there are any matters other than money, such as communication and coordination between customers, farmers, bankers, etc., and any problems that may arise, please report them to Mr. Su behind me."
"The last one, after all things are sorted out, you will go back immediately to appease people and maintain the situation. Any money and manpower support that is lacking will be quickly prepared by the Hou Mansion."
As soon as Xia Jingyun walked in, he issued orders directly and clearly. Everyone subconsciously turned around and followed the instructions before someone reacted and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
Gongsun Jing, who had long been completely convinced by Xia Jingyun, quickly stood up and said, "Ahem, everyone, this is the sworn brother of the empress. The person in charge of the mansion now is Xia Jingyun, Lord Jieyuan of Sishui Prefecture!"
Everyone's eyes widened and they hurriedly saluted and greeted.
Xia Jingyun nodded calmly, "You don't need to be polite, just deal with it with peace of mind. The Qin family is indeed rich, and several princes' houses combined can't compare with it, but it is impossible for the Qin family to use all their money to deal with us, given the current situation. , our Marquis Mansion is more than capable of dealing with it! Keep your hearts in your stomach!"
The situation was immediately under control. A group of shopkeepers and stewards started working in an orderly manner according to Xia Jingyun's instructions, and then left after reporting the information.
Xia Jingyun was like a general who thought he was good at conquering and fighting. He single-handedly suppressed this chaotic "Chaotang."
When he was sitting in the main hall and finished his third cup of tea, Gongsun Jing and Su Yuanshang came back.
"Sir, I have calculated it. According to what you said, it is calculated in seven days. The total difference in money is ."
Gongsun Jing paused and said the number that made him feel a mountain of pressure just thinking about it, "One hundred and thirty-seven thousand, eight hundred taels, and they didn't reimburse the rest of the bits and pieces."
Fortunately, he was reminded by Su Yuanshang and did not let these shopkeepers and managers know the total number, otherwise these people would be desperate immediately.
Xia Jingyun was not too surprised when he heard this number.
Qin Yuwen can be called Mr. Qian. If he doesn't have this momentum when he makes a move, he would be underestimating the world's heroes.
This figure is also normal. The Qin family's actions are aimed at interrupting the cash flow of Hou Mansion's industries. Although they don't understand the word, they still have the concept.
Just like a canteen, if you sell 5,000 taels a day and receive 5,300 taels, you will earn 300 taels a day. But if something suddenly happens, the daily income is delayed or interrupted for various reasons, but If you want to continue operating this canteen and still have to sell it, the daily cash flow deficit will be 5,000 taels. It only takes more than ten days to completely collapse.
If coupled with behaviors such as requiring settlement in advance, which are similar to bank runs and loan withdrawals, it will be even worse.
The current situation of the industries under Jiang'anhou Mansion is probably like this.
Gongsun Jing took a look at Xia Jingyun's face and found that he still had a calm look on his face. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Regardless of whether he could succeed or not, his ability to remain calm despite changes was enough for people to admire and learn from.
He continued: "At the moment, all parties, including the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion, can collect a total of about 33,700 taels of cash and things that can be used to offset cash. Therefore, the actual cash deficit is ten Thirty-three thousand three hundred taels.”
"Thanks for your hard work."
Xia Jingyun smiled and nodded, then looked at Su Yuanshang, "Where is Mr. Su?"
Gongsun Jing was startled, that's it?
Shouldn't there be a sullen calculation, and then everyone is worried about it, and finally the dead horse becomes the living horse, and the doctor starts to act with some random ideas?
This is one hundred thousand taels, not ten taels!
Su Yuanshang said: "It's okay here. The main problem is still a choice. Should we deal with the current predicament regardless of everything, or should we take a long-term view and keep the basic industry stable first? If it is In the latter case, the cost will be much higher.”
"Definitely choose the latter."
Xia Jingyun made the decision without thinking, looked at the two people who were hesitant to speak, and smiled, "This Mr. Qian is not an easy man. He is arrogant and cool, but there is still something under his hands, or rather Someone can give him some advice. These sudden attacks will make us panic, but if we seek medical treatment in a hurry and finally choose the first path, that will be their real killing move."
He chuckled. It's a pity that you have the wrong person to fight economic war.
Just as he was talking, a figure strode into the room. Wei Yuanzhi, the Minister of Household Affairs, walked in and looked at Xia Jingyun seriously, "I already know everything about the Qin family. How is the situation now?"
Xia Jingyun nodded to Gongsun Jing, and Gongsun Jing briefly explained the situation.
"One hundred thousand taels? Does it have to be cash?"
Wei Yuanzhi's expression changed. The imperial court's annual income was only more than 20 million taels. How many people could come up with so much money in such a hurry.
He pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "The household department has some money saved, how about that?"
"No need, Mr. Wei, let alone whether it's worth risking your future for this matter."
Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, and the smile was quite meaningful, "If I really agree, you will be very disappointed, right?"
Wei Yuanzhi was indeed said to be a bit probing, but there was nothing strange on his face, "What are you talking about? How do you plan to get through this?"
Xia Jingyun waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about the money. I have a way to solve it. This is not just about a little money. The water behind it is still deep. Everyone, please be careful, do your own business, and don't act rashly. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ruoshui rushed in again angrily.
Almost the same process went through again, but the difference was that Wang Ruoshui had no money to misappropriate. Moreover, Wang Ruoshui took the initiative and said: "My family has some surplus wealth, although it is not much, there are two or three thousand taels. Everyone gathers firewood and flames." Gao, maybe we can work together."
When he said this, Wei Yuanzhi had no choice but to speak. As a veteran high-ranking official, he naturally could not be worse than Wang Ruoshui, so he said six thousand taels.
In total, this was nearly ten thousand taels. Gongsun Jing's eyes lit up, as if he saw the dawn of hope.
Xia Jingyun, however, smiled silently and said: "For this matter, you will have to contribute your family property, so what big things can we expect? Don't worry, it's no problem."
After persuading Wei Yuanzhi and Wang Ruoshui to leave, Xia Jingyun also stood up and said, "Okay, you guys go do some work while I go out."
After hearing this, Gongsun Jing was stunned and said quickly: "Master, do you really not want to arrange some instructions?"
He still couldn't believe that Xia Jingyun didn't seem to panic at all in the face of such a big thing.
Su Yuanshang smiled and said to him: "He is not a random person. Since he said so, he naturally knows it well."
Xia Jingyun smiled at Su Yuanshang, and then walked out of the door with Chen Fugui who was waiting outside.
Outside Jiang'anhou's mansion, there were a lot of eyes on him today.
In the Qin family, which has always been low-key and silent about making a fortune, the conflict with the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion broke out unexpectedly, and many relevant stakeholders turned their attention.
After finding out the inside story of the conflict between the two parties, everyone was stunned and speechless.
The conflict between such two behemoths was actually just because of one incompetent brothel oiran?
And the adults on both sides don’t care? Did they really let them fight like this?
While being surprised by this reason, everyone was also thinking about how the Qin family, which has been the richest in the world for generations, could become the powerful concubines in front of the unparalleled Lu family and the Shi family. The force that ends the opponent's momentum?
After the Qin family took the lead in making the move, many informants focused on the Jiang'an Hou Mansion.
They saw the stewards and shopkeepers coming in a hurry, and they saw those people leaving in peace;
Seeing Wei Yuanzhi, the Minister of Hubu, and Wang Ruoshui, the Acting Minister of the Ministry of Rites, coming in a hurry, they left with peace of mind again;
Just as he was wondering, he actually saw Xia Jingyun and his guards!
Are you going to ask for help?
Among them, there were also people belonging to the Qin family, and they also wanted to know how Xia Jingyun would respond.
Everyone followed him all the way, turning left and right, and arrived
Everyone looked at the place in front of them and looked at each other, all confused.
Will he be the supervisor?
"I understand. The general will supply the palace with silks, satins, and rare treasures. He must have a lot of money and treasures. If he can embezzle them, he may be able to make a lot of money."
"Are you crazy? If you try to steal these things, he will die. You might as well ask the Ministry of Husbandry to embezzle them! At least the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry is one of their own."
"But that's not right. With such a huge sum of money, how big of a battle would he have to make? Are he really not afraid of being discovered?"
Just as everyone was wondering, Xia Jingyun, who had only been in for less than a quarter of an hour, walked out again.
He glanced around with a half-smile, got on his horse, and headed straight for the palace.
Entering the palace?
Everyone was stunned, but this time they were not confused and immediately found a reasonable clue.
Xia Jingyun definitely couldn't handle such a big matter, so he went to the palace to find Concubine De for help.
Then it will be easier to understand when he went to the general as a prisoner before. After losing the family fortune of the general as a prisoner, the concubine De will also know how to speak when the time comes to plead with His Majesty.
Well, it makes sense when you think about it.
Then, everyone felt a little disdainful. Although he was so impressive, it turned out that he only had this ability.
The people of the Qin family even sneered, is that all? Young Master moves his finger and is about to move the biggest trump card. How can you fight with the Qin family!
Don’t overestimate your capabilities!
But none of them knew that when Xia Jingyun entered the palace, he did not go to see Concubine De at all, but directly asked to see Emperor Chongning.
The only people present were the emperor and his ministers, and the eunuch Gao Yi who was accompanying them.
No one knows exactly what was discussed.
However, when Xia Jingyun agreed on the matter and said goodbye, Gao Yi, the eunuch who sent him outside the main hall, looked at his back and stared at the two adopted sons beside him and said: "Remember. , Never mess with this young master in the future."
When Xia Jingyun walked out of the palace and returned to Jiang'anhou Mansion, a piece of news quietly came out:
It took countless craftsmen's efforts, destroyed countless precious materials, and produced five precious mirrors with a breakage rate of 1 in 10,000. The quality is far better than the mirror owned by De Fei.
These precious mirrors will be auctioned the day after tomorrow, on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, at the Shitouji main store in the city.
To qualify for participation, capital verification is 10,000 taels.
