Chapter 165
In Tang Yu's view, although he married Ning Wan'er and only enjoyed living and drinking in the early days, he has changed too much in the past six months.
Although they have never visited the Ning family once, the Ning family is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, the Ning family cannot care about it.
Moreover, the Ning family is the richest man in the capital, so they can definitely spend two million taels of silver.
Mr. Ning's eyes were slightly cold: "This matter is a long story! But I can tell you clearly that at the peak of the Ning family, the wealth was as high as 60 million taels. Even though the Tang Dynasty was the weakest among the seven countries in the world, with the Ning family His net worth is enough to rank among the top three richest people in the seven countries!"
"But now, the Ning family can't even make it into the top ten, let alone the top three in the Seven Kingdoms! Do you know why?"
"Father-in-law, please speak out!" Tang Yu was secretly shocked.
Mr. Ning snorted coldly: "That's because of your father, Emperor Tang!"
"What does this have to do with my father?" Tang Yu was shocked.
Mr. Ning took a sip of tea and said: "Back then, your father launched a coup and urgently needed the support of my Ning family. To put it bluntly, your father just wanted to get my Ning family to provide money. Our Ning family finally decided to risk the fate of the whole family and let it go. Give it a try, but we demand that after the event is completed, the Ning family must give me double the reward!"
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not agree at that time and said that my daughter could become the Crown Princess. I thought about it and felt that this deal was a good deal, so I agreed. After all, once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, my Ning family will be completely prosperous. Yes! So the Ning family invested 30 million taels of silver to help your father launch a coup!" Mr. Ning said bluntly.
Remember URL
"Damn! So much money? Father-in-law, I seem to understand why you are unwilling to lend money to the court!"
When Mr. Ning finished speaking in one breath, Tang Yu understood everything at once.
I remember that back then, the Ning family was so rich that they launched a dispute for Emperor Tang. They invested half of their assets in Emperor Tang. After Emperor Tang ascended the throne, he also fulfilled his promise and allowed himself, as the prince, to marry Ning Wan'er.
But over the past few years, the eldest prince Tang Long and the third prince Tang Shuheng have continued to cultivate power in the court. Before he traveled through time, the former prince only knew how to have fun and never supported the Ning family.
In other words, all the 30 million silver invested by the Ning family back then were wasted.
Who wouldn't be angry if this kind of thing happened to someone?
After all, the Ning family's wealth of 60 million taels back then was accumulated over hundreds of years.
Mr. Ning continued: "In addition, the Ning family has not benefited from the Tang Emperor's suppression of wealthy families over the years, and because the Ning family's wealth has shrunk by half, many businesses cannot operate. Maybe you don't know, Your Highness Tang Yu. One thing, the eldest prince and the third prince have also been secretly suppressing the Ning family these years!"
"Currently, the Ning family has been losing money for fifteen consecutive years, and its financial resources are less than 20 million! Just now, the eldest prince Tang Long made harsh words. If the Ning family dares to borrow money, he will destroy the Ning family at any cost!"
"In this era, we pay attention to scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and businessmen are the lowest. We, the Ning family, are forced to choose to protect ourselves! Your Highness Tang Yu, do you understand now?"
"The situation of the Ning family is actually so difficult?" Tang Yu was very shocked.
He has always heard that the Ning family is the richest man in the capital. Who would have thought that the Ning family has such a tragic fate now, and its glory days are long gone.
Ning Wan'er said from the side: "Tang Yu, what my father said is right. The Ning family is really in a difficult situation now!"
"Old man, do you dare to take a gamble with me?" Tang Yu said solemnly.
Mr. Ning said in surprise: "My Ning family bet that your father was right. Even though the family property has shrunk severely, and now you want to bet again, then why don't we, the Ning family, dare to bet? But the question is, how are you going to bet?"
Hearing this, Ning Hao sneered and said, "To put it lightly! You don't have any power in the court now. It's not enough just to be favored by Emperor Tang! Once the Ning family bets on you, it will affect the whole body." , if it fails, my Ning family will really disappear in the capital!"
