Meng Da frowned slightly, wondering why Zhou Bing was so kind.
Just when Meng Da thought of this doubt, Zhou Bing explained directly.
"Meng Juren, I want the two of us to cooperate and develop together in the future, so I am doing this business with you."
"Look, I introduced you to the source of the goods, and I can also lend you the money. You can't possibly not take any risks, right?"
After hearing this, Meng Da finally dispelled his last suspicion. He was not worried that Zhou Bing had no ambitions for him. Only the binding of interests was the most reliable relationship. This was evident from the fact that he, Mrs. Liu and Magistrate Sun It can be seen from the interest relationship.
Meng Da smiled and nodded.
"So, it's pretty good, but I do need more than a hundred thousand taels of silver."
Zhou Bing nodded directly, waved his hand and said.
"I can lend it to you now. Let's create a written agreement between the two of us. However, I'm also worried that Meng Juren will squeeze me out. How about we set the interest rate a little higher and make a 30% profit?"
When Meng Da heard this, he took a deep breath.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, isn't this 30% profit a bit too high?"
Zhou Bing smiled and waved his hand.
"Oh, what are you afraid of, Meng Juren? This is just a private loan. Don't you understand why the price is set so high?"
"The two of us have set such a high price in private. If anything goes wrong, Meng Juren only needs to file a lawsuit with the government. This private loan without official witness is illegal, so you only need to pay back the principal when the time comes. That’s it!”
Hearing this, Meng Da couldn't help but laugh.
The Zhou Dynasty had clear regulations that the interest rate on loans without official witness could not exceed 10%. If it was set so high and there were no official witnesses, he didn't have to worry at all.
Meng Da had no idea that he had fallen into a trap, so he directly found paper and pen, and both parties wrote the IOU and signed it.
Zhou Bing looked at the IOU, then nodded with a smile, put the IOU in his arms, and raised his hand to Meng Da.
"Meng Juren, I will send the money over in a moment. I wish we can get rich together!"
Meng Da smiled and nodded.
After a while, Zhou Bing sent someone to deliver hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. After seeing the money, Meng Da felt relieved.
But at this time Zhou Bing had returned to the inn where Zhao Feng lived, took out the IOU from his arms, and said to Zhao Feng.
"Sir, this is the IOU written by the two of us."
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and signed his name directly on it.
"Haha, let's see how he can escape now!"
But acting requires a full set. If we pursue the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver now, there is no way that Meng Da will lose all his money.
After all, Meng Da just had the tens of thousands of taels of silver that Zhou Tong had repaid, so even if he took out 30% of the profit, it would be nothing at all. So what Zhao Feng had to do this time was to make Meng Da cry even more!
Soon, Zhao Feng asked Zhou Bing to pretend to introduce the supply and route to Meng Da, but it was all fake.
After Zhou Bing's introduction, Meng Da had no doubts about these things and signed an agreement with Zhou Bing directly.
The two of them each bought grain from other places with 200,000 taels and transported all the grain here.
After paying the money, the two of them returned to the city talking and laughing.
It's just that all the 400,000 taels of silver went into Zhao Feng's pocket.
In the Princess Mansion, Mrs. Liu became very anxious when she saw that she was unable to get out the money in the mansion despite all possible means, so she pretended to help the Princess Mansion take care of the business and arranged for some people to get involved in the business.
This was also the method used by Mrs. Liu to secretly defraud Zhou Tong's business. As long as he put people in, since these businesses belong to the princess, and she is the housekeeper in the princess's mansion, Zhou Tong does not know how to deal with these businesses. things, so many things must be handled by her.
In this way, there will be more room for manipulation. She will first fabricate false accounting books to make these businesses appear to be losing money, and then owe a large sum of money through loans. In the end, she will be unable to use these business as collateral.
It's a pity that this time, as soon as Mrs. Liu inserted her people into these businesses, she found herself unable to move forward.
"What? There is someone in your factory who specializes in accounting?"
The person in charge of the pork processing plant nodded very indifferently, looked at Granny Liu and said.
"That's right, each of Her Royal Highness's businesses now has its own person who specializes in accounting. We will hand over the account books directly to Her Highness, and no one else has the right to interfere!"
Mrs. Liu took a breath and asked through gritted teeth.
"What about the procurement and sale of raw materials?"
The person in charge sneered and said directly.
"There are dedicated people in charge of all of this, and there is no need to go through your management at all. I am the person in charge of managing this factory, and I am only responsible to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was immediately furious, and then she realized that her power had been weakened.
She had no choice but to take the people she had brought back intact, but then she went to other places and asked, and found that everything was like this.
Mrs. Liu had no choice but to return to the princess's mansion dejectedly.
But when she returned to the princess mansion, Granny Liu discovered that there were many strangers in the princess mansion, and these people did not listen to her orders at all.
After asking carefully, I found out that these people were all maids who had recently been recruited into the princess's mansion.
"Hmph, don't think that you can sit back and relax after entering the princess's mansion. Let me tell you, I am the big housekeeper in the princess's mansion!"
"If you dare not listen to me, I will fire you directly!"
Hearing this, the servants and maids all looked at each other and couldn't help but snicker.
Mrs. Liu frowned and asked coldly.
"What are you laughing at?"
The maids stopped laughing and shook their heads.
"Steward Liu, we know that you are the housekeeper in the mansion, but we were all recruited by Her Royal Highness the Princess herself. You have no right to fire us!"
"That's what you said. Don't just rely on your age to show off your power here!"
Their words made Mrs. Liu so angry that she stretched out her hand to beat them.
"Oops, Butler Liu is going to hit someone!"
The maids scattered and ran away, but at this time Zhou Tong heard the noise here and walked over with a cold face, only to see Mrs. Liu grabbing a maid and slapped her in the face.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
As soon as the maid saw Zhou Tong coming, she knelt down and cried so hard.
"Your Highness, please make the decision for me!"
