Yan Niang and all the girls hurriedly returned the favor to Xiao Feng. For a while, their green sleeves were swaying and the fragrant wind was dancing.
"Master Xiao, please don't do this, you will hurt us!"
Xiao Feng stood up straight and looked at the girls with a solemn expression. Where did Zhang Tianci get the more than 100,000 taels of silver? Xiao Feng can't really turn stone into gold. In such a short period of time, this is simply an impossible task.
Zhang Tianci had 20,000 taels of cash on hand, Xiao Feng borrowed 30,000 taels from the WTO temple's funds, and the palace prepaid 10,000 taels for the sewer project. The total amount is only 60,000 taels, and the rest must be borrowed.
Lu Bing will not borrow it, whether he has it or not. The agreement between him and Yan Shifan, "If you don't move, I won't help," was like a curse, cuffing their hands and feet at the same time.
Of course, Xiao Feng didn't want to borrow money from Lu Bing. Although he didn't know the agreement between Lu Bing and Yan Shifan, borrowing money from Lu Bing was not a good choice for both public and private reasons.
An Sizheng came to visit late at night and brought 10,000 taels to Xiao Feng, saying that he hoped to continue to deepen his business cooperation with Zhang Tianci. Xiao Feng asked Zhang Tianci to give him the corresponding share contract.
Hu Zongxian sent 10,000 taels to Xiao Feng through Qi Jiguang. The IOU was written by Qi Jiguang to Hu Zongxian. Xiao Feng wanted to write an IOU to Qi Jiguang, but Qi Jiguang did not want it. During the fight, Xiao Feng accidentally broke a Huzhou Langhao pen.
It was a gift from Wang Yingxiang to Xiao Feng, and she bought it after being inspired by Zhang Yunqing's gift of a fan. After the pen was stolen by Qi Jiguang, when he met Qi Jiguang again, Wang Yingxiang obviously didn't like to talk to him. Poor Qi Jiguang still didn't know why.
King Yu once asked Zhan Yu to secretly send twenty thousand taels, but Xiao Feng refused and asked Zhan Yu to send it back. King Jing also asked Xiao Feng if he needed money, but Xiao Feng also refused.
This was a contest between him and Yan Shifan, but Jiajing must have seen it. Xiao Feng can use various means to achieve victory, but he cannot rely on the two princes.
The snack foodie Liu Peng brought Xiaomei to visit the big foodie Qiaoqiao. While the two were eating, Xiaomei secretly told Xiao Feng that his wife said that she had five thousand taels at home, but it was not a banknote and it was difficult to get it. If Xiao Feng wanted to Use it, she will find a way to get it out as soon as possible.
Xiao Feng couldn't laugh or cry at the concern for his future mother-in-law, thinking that if you really do this, Liu Tong is afraid that he will come to me to fight for his life. She refused immediately and asked Xiaomei to tell Mrs. Liu that she was extremely grateful. If she really needed it, she would let her know.
Needless to say, Wang Tuiguan's family has less than one thousand taels of silver, so even if he wanted to kill the thief, he would be unable to save his life.
Zuixian Tower is even poorer. Although Liu Ruyun has just become the Capital God of Cookery and has an unparalleled reputation, he is really poor, otherwise Zhang Tianci would not have been allowed to invest 40% of the shares with 500 taels of silver.
Zhang Wuxin wanted to borrow money from Wudang Mountain, but counting on him was like counting on Yu Dayou. Water from far away could not quench the thirst for nearness, and it was too late.
Hu Zongxian hinted to Xiao Feng through Qi Jiguang that Qiu Luan was rich. But Xiao Feng didn't think about it at all. He can maintain a relatively good relationship with Qiu Luan, but he will never get too close, let alone borrowing money.
The rest of the relationships, such as Huang Jin, Eunuch Bai, Chen Hong, and even Eunuch Liu who was still angry after being sidelined, are all strategic partners. Even if they have money, they cannot lend it to Xiao Feng at the risk of offending the strict party. of.
Therefore, the inventory of the closest relationships that Xiao Feng can use has been completed so far, and there is still at least 60,000 taels of silver left.
People say that a penny can stump a heroic man, but what Xiao Feng now has in front of him is a full 60,000 taels, which can stump 60 million heroic men, which is almost the number of all the men in the Jiajing Dynasty.
The last risk Xiao Feng took was Tao Zhongwen. Although he had just threatened his good brother, he went to borrow money shamelessly, which looked very ugly.
But the good old man secretly gave Xiao Feng ten thousand taels without saying a word, and then accepted Xiao Feng's IOU with a smile on his face, without even being polite.
Xiao Feng dared to take this sidestep because he was sure that Tao Zhongwen would have to pay for the 10,000 taels out of his own pocket and would never tell Jiajing. And he estimated that when he paid back the money, Tao Zhongwen would never accept it, and he would never return the IOU to Xiao Feng.
This IOU is almost the accident insurance Tao Zhongwen bought for Qingfeng and Mingyue. Although we two brothers will continue to cooperate, Xiao Feng, you can no longer threaten me with Qingfeng Mingyue, otherwise my good brother will have the guarantee to kill you. !
Although Zhang Tianci knew little about official struggles, he was not completely ignorant. After he learned about this, he cried bitterly and said that he was not living up to expectations, causing trouble to his elder brother and making him controlled by others.
Xiao Feng patted him on the shoulder, smiling calmly and confidently.
"Tianci, there are some things you don't understand. If you hold someone else's handle but don't let others hold yours, this kind of cooperation is a one-sided threat and can easily lead to trouble."
Zhang Tianci blinked his eyes in confusion, expressing that he didn't quite understand. Isn't it bad to completely manipulate others?
"Yesterday, news came out from the palace that Ms. Zhou, the lantern holder, had been killed by the yellow brocade staff because she neglected her duties and almost caused a breach in the palace.
In fact, based on her fault, Huang Jin didn't need to kill her. The most she could do was throw her into a place like Huanyifang.
But I guess some nobles in the palace were afraid that she knew too much. Not only would they not save her, they would also take the opportunity to persuade Huang Jin to kill her. "
Zhang Tianci took a breath and seemed to understand a lot of things. He decided to tell his daughter soon that he should ask less about things and know as little as possible.
“If there is someone who has control over me, but I don’t have any means to check and balance him, then there is only one result.
Normally I would be obedient, but once given a chance, I would kill him without any hesitation. People have the same mind and the same principle. "
Xiao Feng took a sip of tea and spoke calmly, but Zhang Tianci's neck felt a little cold because he suddenly discovered something very, very scary.
Xiao Feng holds all his secrets, but he knows very little about Xiao Feng's secrets. Brother, will he... be reminding me?
"Brother, although you have all my handles, and I have no handle on you at all, and I am usually submissive in front of you, but I really never thought about killing you!"
Zhang Tianci was so anxious that he almost cried. He just had to put aside his stomach to prove that he had only eaten a bowl of jelly.
Xiao Feng was still focused on pointing out Zhang Tianci's dangers in the world, but he was almost discouraged by this guy's sudden confession, and he spit out a mouthful of tea.
"Stop farting, I'm talking about intrigues in officialdom, not family matters, get out!"
Xiao Feng finally found Yan Niang and told her clearly that he wanted to borrow money, not only from her, but also from all the girls in the building.
It's all based on volition and trust. If you have confidence in Zhang Tianci, the borrowed money can be counted as a shareholding; if you don't want to become a shareholding, you can pay it off after one year and get favorable interest.
Xiao Feng knew that Chunyan Tower was the top brothel in the capital and a real gold-selling cave. The popular girls here are all little rich women with millions of dollars.
It's just that they can only save their money secretly, hoping that one day they will have the opportunity to meet their beloved, help redeem their lives, and the rest can be used to live on.
Not to mention Yan Niang, Xiao Feng believes that her net worth is at least 50,000 taels, making her a very wealthy woman. However, she was a slave before and belonged to the country. If she had not been protected by people like Chen Hong, the court would have the right to plunder her property at any time.
Now that Xiao Feng has helped her get rid of her slave status, her property will naturally be safe. To put it bluntly, if Xiao Feng marries Yan Niang now, based on the comparison of their nominal wealth, Xiao Feng will be suspected of being a rich woman. .
However, due to identity issues and security issues, most of the property of a brothel woman will not be in the form of banknotes or silver, because it is too versatile. If someone steals it, it is difficult to tell whether it is hers.
Therefore, most of their property will be in the form of jewelry. On the one hand, it is easy to identify. On the other hand, when property was inspected in the Ming Dynasty, there was an unspoken rule that wearable accessories were not included in the inspection.
Therefore, the jewelry of brothel women are very expensive. For example, Yan Niang's double phoenix golden hairpin is worth a thousand taels, and her body is full of pearls and emeralds. The value is staggering. Therefore, there will not be a lot of cash in hand and needs to be replaced.
Yan Niang took out all the banknotes she had and collected 20,000 taels for Xiao Feng. Then she held a meeting for the girls and told them that Xiao Feng wanted to borrow money from everyone.
The girls were silent for a while, and Miss Shui stood up first, her face slightly red, and she looked at Yan Niang sheepishly.
"Mom, I really have no money..."
Yan Niang was stunned. She thought that among these girls, the most enthusiastic and the first one to take the lead should be Miss Shui. How could it be...
Miss Shui took out an IOU from her arms and blushed even more, as if she had done something shameful.
"I saved less than 10,000 taels of silver, and I lent it all to Zhang Tianci when he was negotiating for Xinren's business.
He...he said he would pay me back when he made money, but his debt has not been paid off, so he has not given it to me yet..."
The girls in the room burst into laughter, making Miss Shui lie on the table and bury her face in her sleeves, like an ostrich.
Miss Huo laughed the loudest: "I'm raising a pretty boy, I'm raising a pretty boy, no, it's an old boy. Mr. Xiao is the boy, and Zhang Tianci is the boy at most!"
No wonder Miss Shui is embarrassed. There are some unspoken rules among brothel girls. For example, giving money to others is a shameful thing for a brothel girl.
Especially those popular girls, if they do this, they will be laughed at. Unless the person is willing to redeem the girl in the end, even if it is the girl's money, at least he is responsible.
If a girl posted a post and it was just for fun, then no matter how popular the girl is, she will be looked down upon by other peers. She is really looked down upon.
Why would Su San or Du Shiniang commit suicide rather than return to their old careers when they found out that they had entrusted them to a wrong person?
Because they have no shame in going back to the brothel. Even if they can endure that kind of work, they can't stand the contempt of their peers.
We can't blame those girls for being extreme. Women in brothels have had enough of being hurt and deceived by scumbag men. They naturally hate the sisters who support scumbag men.
Yan Niang thought about her experiences when she was young, and couldn't help but sigh sadly, and gently stroked the water girl's hair to express comfort.
"I invested 20,000 taels as a share. Although I was in charge of Chunyan Tower in the past, not a single plant or tree in Chunyan Tower belonged to me. They all belonged to Eunuch Chen and Tan Xinren.
Now Mr. Xiao has given me the opportunity to not only become a real shareholder of Chunyan Tower, but also a shareholder of the grain store, construction team, and Zuixian Tower. From now on, I will also be a person with property! "
