Li Shui was invited to Li Si's mansion.
Li Si took a look and found that only Li Shui was here, and Li Xin was not with him, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
It's easier to deal with one person than two people.
After Li Shui arrived, he raised his hand to Li Si and said, "How do you do, Mr. Tingwei?"
Then he looked at Wang Wan next to him, smiled and said, "Is the Prime Minister here too? Great, it saves me an extra trip and I can explain things clearly here."
Wang Wan looked at Li Shui warily: "What do you want to say to banish the immortal?"
Li Shui sighed: "You two must also know that I'm getting married."
Wang Wan and Li Si both grinned and thought: Of course we know. Did you say this on purpose to piss us off?
Li Shui continued: "The one I want to marry is Princess Weiyang, the most intelligent, wise, gentle, virtuous, naturally beautiful and noble princess in this dynasty."
Li Si's teeth were itching with hatred: "Is this what banishing the immortal means?"
Wang Wan didn't say anything, but he thought to himself: I heard that once Li Xin received the reward, he would go to Chunyu Yue's mansion to worship his deceased sister and show off to Chunyu Yue. Could it be that today... Huaiguzi is also here to show off? These two people really have the same chemistry.
Li Shui smiled slightly: "Of course I'm not just talking about this. I'm telling you, the princess is so outstanding, shouldn't this wedding be more grand? Since it has to be grand, does it need to spend some money? Since it has to spend some money , do you need to prepare some money?"
"However, you two adults also know that I don't love money, and I don't have the habit of being careful with money..."
Li Si chuckled: "In Shang Jun's courtyard, gold and silver have been piled up into mountains, so of course there is no need to be careful."
Li Shui shook his head vigorously: "These are all rumors. How can there be mountains of gold and silver?"
He sighed and said to Li Si and Wang Wan: "On weekdays, I most admire those knights who rescue people in danger and help those in need. So when someone asks me to borrow money, I lend it out without hesitation. Some people even borrow money immediately. Tens of millions of dollars, but I never asked any questions."
"But several months have passed, several years have passed, and I haven't even seen the interest. Now I'm getting married, but I'm short of money. You two adults, I'm here to implore you today to return the money to me. "
Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other with strange expressions.
When they borrowed the money, they had no intention of paying it back.
Are you here to pay now? There are no doors.
Why should I pay back the money I borrowed based on my ability?
Wang Wan sighed and began to cry about poverty: "The Exalted Immortal knows that I have always been carefree and not interested in gold, silver, and silk. Therefore, there is no money left in the family. Sometimes the money is not available, so I need to borrow money."
"Later on, I borrowed more and more money, and I was in arrears for decades. I couldn't bear to delay it any longer, so I borrowed all the money I got from banishing the immortal and used it all to repay the debt."
"So, banished immortal, you are asking me for money now... Haha, I don't have any either."
Li Shui was a little confused: Is this a prime minister? This is clearly saying that if you don’t need money, you need your life.
Qin people... are they so shameless? Don’t you pay attention to debt repayment?
Li Shui looked at Li Si again.
Li Si sighed and said: "Exiled Immortal, you know, I have always been a quiet man and have no interest in gold, silver, wealth, and silk, so at home..."
Li Shui waved his hand and said to Li Si: "Master Tingwei, did you use your money to pay off your debts? If you make this excuse, you are bullying me."
Li Si chuckled: "My money... I didn't use it to pay off debts, it's just... Well, I don't see poor people in the world."
"When I saw the poor people on the street who were barely clothed and hungry, my heart ached terribly. Therefore... I gave all the tens of millions of dollars that the banished immortal lent me to the poor. Let them buy them. Food, go buy some clothes.”
"Now the Exalted Immortal is asking me for money, but I don't have any. Otherwise... I'll go find those beggars on the street and ask for it back?"
Li Shui: "..."
There are such shameless people in the world.
Wang Wan and Li Si looked at each other, a hint of cunning flashed in their eyes.
Li Shui sighed and said to Wang Wan: "You two adults may not know, but in fact this money is not mine. As you know, I have always been carefree and have no interest in gold, silver, wealth and silk."
"Last time I heard that the two adults were short of money. The craftsmen in Shangjun Court were very heartbroken and thought that they could not wrong the pillars of the country. Therefore... they collected tens of millions of money and sent it to the house."
"I'm getting married now. The craftsmen want to give me some gifts, but they can't come up with the money. So I asked you to come forward and ask for the account."
Li Shui stood up and shook his head: "But... the two adults really can't come up with it, so forget it. I'm afraid those craftsmen won't agree and will come to ask for the account one after another."
"Of course they don't dare to do anything to you two adults, for fear of ruining your reputation. Well, I'll try my best to persuade them when I go back."
Li Shui raised his feet and was about to leave, but Wang Wan and Li Si quickly stopped him.
They all heard the underlying meaning of Li Shui's words. He was clearly trying to incite a group of people to build momentum.
Wang Wan suddenly realized that they had mistaken Li Shui.
They borrow money and don't repay it, just because they think everyone is decent people. If I delay repaying it, you are too embarrassed to ask for it, so you just get over it.
But Wang Wan found out today that she was wrong. This Huai Guzi is not a decent person at all. People are not afraid of losing face at all, so they gather a group of gangsters and block the door. What should they do?
Li Si said with a bitter face: "Exiled Immortal, but my family really doesn't have that much money. What do you think we should do?"
This is the truth.
When I borrowed the money, I had no intention of paying it back, so after I borrowed the money, I didn't save anything at all.
Li Si had already squandered more than half of his money, and now he suddenly had to pay it back. What to pay back?
Li Shui sighed: "In that case, I will take the trouble to help you two adults find a solution."
Then he took out two pieces of paper: "If you two adults have no objections, just sign and draw on them."
Li Si and Wang Wan took a look and asked, "What is this?"
Li Shui said: "This is the repayment plan for the two adults. From now on, one-third of your monthly salary will be reserved for you, and the remaining two-thirds will be used to repay the interest. I did the math and found that it is just enough. .”
Li Si: "..."
Wang Wan: "..."
Two-thirds of the salary will be given to you? And just in exchange for interest? What to do with the principal?
Li Shui said: "As for the principal, I have also come up with a solution for you two adults. The properties, houses, servants, shops in your name..."
Wang Wan was anxious: "Are you going to take all of this?"
Li Shui waved his hand: "No. I just... temporarily mortgage your things to me."
"Then I will use these things to make money. After I earn back the principal, I will return the property, servants, shops, etc. to you."
Wang Wan was stunned: "That's tens of millions of dollars. Can you make it back?"
Li Shui smiled and said: "As long as the time is long enough, you can make it back."
Li Si asked: "About... how long will it take?"
Li Shui thought for a while and said, "Maybe seventy or eighty years?"
Li Si almost fainted. Then won’t you be able to get it back in this life? What's the difference between that and becoming a pauper directly?
Li Si took a deep breath and said to Li Shui: "You can take away two-thirds of the salary. I will figure out a solution for the principal myself."
Wang Wan nodded vigorously: "That's right, we will find a way to make money ourselves, and then pay it back to you. Even if we pay you a little every month, for seventy or eighty years, we will eventually pay it back."
Li Shui frowned: "Is that so? If you take the initiative to repay, seventy or eighty years will be too long. I will give you twenty years at most."
Wang Wan was a little angry: "Why is that? Didn't you just say seventy or eighty years?"
Li Shui said: "Two adults, think carefully. If the land is in my hands, mortgage it to me. Then I won't be in a hurry and will pay you back slowly. But the land is in your hands, so there is a risk."
"What if you two commit a crime one day, confiscate your family and exterminate your family, and your property and shops are confiscated by His Majesty, won't all my money be wasted?"
Li Si was almost furious. Why did you have your family confiscated and your family exterminated?
Wang Wan almost lost his breath and rubbed his heart hard. Dealing with the banished immortal is really infuriating.
Li Shui coughed dryly and said very kindly: "You two adults, don't be angry. Although my words may not sound good to your ears, but think about whether there is such a risk. To be honest, I will give you twenty years of grace. I’m also a little unsure.”
Li Si and Wang Wan knew that Li Shui's words were true.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Who knows if one day in the future, your family will be confiscated and your family will be exterminated? Even if he has been an official in the court for a long time, he is cautious and knows how to deal with the emperor. What if there are unworthy descendants among the descendants?
Seventy or eighty years is indeed very dangerous.
You can only be rich for three generations.
Wang Wan and Li Si sighed: "That's all, just follow the method of banishing the immortal. Twenty years is twenty years."
Li Shui immediately took out two other pieces of paper.
Wang Wan and Li Si suspected that Li Shui had already prepared everything.
Li Shui said: "If it is twenty years, you two need to repay my principal of at least 30 million yuan every year. If there is no problem, please sign and pledge it."
Wang Wan took the pen and asked: "What should I do if I don't pay by the due date?"
Li Shui said: "For example, if you pay it back this year, everyone will be safe. If you don't pay it back next year, I will take away the mortgage. In other words, your land will be mine."
Wang Wan gritted his teeth and suddenly felt like he had borrowed money from a loan shark.
The money I borrowed last time has not been spent yet, so I should be able to cope with it in the next few years. But what about a few years from now? How is it possible to make tens of millions of dollars every year?
But if he doesn't sign today, this guy will find a gang of scoundrels to cause trouble. It might even be in the newspaper. Especially if His Majesty finds out, what should we do?
Wang Wan sighed: Forget it, let's get through today's test first and muddle along.
He signed and pledged it, and it felt like he had signed a deed of betrayal.
Li Si also signed, and he suddenly remembered Mr. Gao from Shangjun Courtyard.
It is said that Mr. Gao owed a huge sum of money out of nowhere and it will take thousands of years to pay it off. Now Li Si feels that he and Mr. Gao are in the same boat.
Li Si put away these pieces of paper and said with a smile: "Then...I won't disturb you two. I'll take my leave."
After Li Shui left, Wang Wan and Li Si looked at each other in silence.
Wang Wan said: "Master Tingwei, what's your clever plan?"
Li Si thought for a moment and said, "If you pay back the money honestly, we will never be able to pay it back. The amount is too big."
Wang Wan sighed.
Li Si added: "There are only two ways to solve these two things."
Wang Wan's eyes lit up.
He was already at his wits' end, but Li Si actually came up with two solutions in an instant?
Li Si said: "The first is procrastination. Work hard to raise money, sell land, and procrastinate year after year. Until something happens to the banished immortal, the family is confiscated and the clan is exterminated. Then of course the money does not need to be paid back."
Wang Wan frowned: "However, the banished immortal is very versatile, and His Majesty loves him very much. It is not easy for him to cause trouble."
Li Si said: "Our support for Hu Hai will continue. If Hu Hai establishes a foothold in the Peacock Kingdom and starts fighting with Huaiguzi, Huaiguzi will definitely win over us, and maybe he will give us some discounts in repaying the money."
Wang Wan nodded vigorously: "This is a way. It seems that we must help Hu Hai plead for mercy, and we must speak sincerely, and we will not give up until we achieve our goal."
Li Si hummed and then said: "The second way is to make money. Our previous way of making money was too slow and not enough to repay the money, but we can learn from banishing immortals."
"When the Exalted Immortal first arrived in Xianyang City, he was poor and empty-handed. But in just a few years, he possessed the endless wealth of Shangjun Villa."
"Can't we recreate such a miracle? We have connections and money. As long as we imitate a little, we should be able to make a lot of money."
Wang Wan frowned: "If this is the case, don't we support the way of governing the country by merchants?"
Li Si smiled slightly: "If the way of merchants can stabilize the country of Qin, allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and allow you and me to prosper for generations to come, then why not do it?"
Wang Wan nodded: "That's true."
The two people immediately began to discuss how to imitate Shangjun Villa and how to do business.
They were discussing in a lively manner when the butler suddenly came again and said to Li Si: "Master, you have been banished to immortality and come back again."
The two people's hearts jumped, and they both said a little irritably: "What is the banished immortal doing again?"
The steward said: "The Exalted Immortal said that there is a happy event."
Li Si said: "That shameless person, when did his words become credible?"
Li Si and Wang Wan were so anxious that they couldn't wait for the housekeeper to welcome Li Shui in, so they simply welcomed him in person.
When they walked to the door, they saw Li Shui smiling at them honestly.
Li Si asked: "What do you mean when you banish an immortal and come back again?"
Li Shui said: "I just suddenly thought that if your Excellency or your descendants commit a crime in the future and your family property is confiscated, wouldn't all these hundreds of people be ruined?"
Li Si suddenly changed color.
Li Shui continued: "Therefore, I have recently launched genocide insurance. Do you want to try it? As long as you invest a little bit, you can manage it for thirty years. If your home is confiscated within thirty years, we will pay compensation. A luxurious life is Don’t think about it. But it’s still possible to keep orphans and widowed mothers fed and clothed.”
"Two adults, do you want to think about it?"
