"Three hundred and eighty-one taels, plus five thousand, four hundred and sixty-six taels, plus..." Lin Shiqi calculated the accounts meticulously, "Husband, the savings at home don't seem to be enough."
It turned out that Liu Mo informed Lin Shiqi of the matter as soon as he returned home.
Lin Shiqi was smart and naturally knew that this matter would be of no harm to her, so she immediately took out her account book and started doing calculations.
But the problem is that Liu Mo's business is large and his capital turnover is very large, so he doesn't have much money in savings.
According to Zhu Min's needs, it would cost at least one hundred thousand taels of silver, and he could get ten thousand taels with his own hands.
This gap is ridiculously big!
"How can I earn 80,000 taels of silver in a short period of time?"
"Husband, how about we sell 'Jingshui Pavilion'," Lin Shiqi suggested. "With the reputation of the restaurant now, it shouldn't be a problem to sell it for thirty thousand taels."
"How can that be done? 'Jingshui Pavilion' supports a large group of us." Liu Mo said. "The other one will still have a shortfall of 50,000 taels after selling it."
The silver coins sent by the Zhou family had already been paid for three months in advance. They have only been sold for less than a month now. How can we get the money from them.
"Husband, let me go back to Linyang." Lin Shiqi said, "I'll ask the old lady and dad to find a solution."
It's not very suitable either...
What kind of brain does my father-in-law have? Would you be willing to give away tens of thousands of taels of silver for free?
Lin Shiqi seemed to see through Liu Mo's thoughts, "No matter what, I am the 'heir' of the Lin family after all!" She said, "Moreover, the old lady's words also have a certain weight. She sees things very clearly and will support us.
Another one, we are borrowing it, not taking it for free..."
borrow? Your gay dad will definitely not borrow it!
Although we can ask Mrs. Zhou to come forward and get the money, this will cause more problems!
You, Lin Shiqi, are the granddaughter and you borrowed money from your grandma. What about Lin Yi? Where is Lin Zhe? Not a biological grandson?
On Earth, old ladies faced demolition and uneven housing distribution, so much so that they got into fights and had to go to court a lot.
The old lady is so old, Liu Mo doesn't want to harm her for this matter.
"I'll think of another way. Don't disturb the old lady unless you have to!"
Lin Shiqi still wanted to persist and was about to speak when she heard a knock on the door outside the room.
After walking out, it was Gong Xiaorou.
"Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me?"
"Sister, pay attention to your tone when talking to your husband!" Lin Shiqi reminded her.
"Oh..." For some reason, Lin Shiqi seemed to have a blood pressure on Gong Xiaorou. "Husband, I can also share your worries."
Gong Xiaorou, does she also know about the military silver? It spreads so fast!
"You come in first," Liu Mo said.
Gong Xiaorou walked into the room obediently, and when she saw her "well-behaved" face, it was completely impossible to tell that she had been such an unruly young lady.
"The concept of three obediences and four virtues for women in the Great Xia Dynasty is indeed deeply ingrained. Such a crazy girl was domesticated after only a few days of marriage!" Liu Mo lamented.
"Of course, Lin Shiqi's aura and skills are also worthy of praise. With her in charge of the backyard, you don't have to worry about how many you marry in the future, hehe!"
After closing the door, Lin Shiqi asked: "Sister, you already know about my husband's difficulties, so I won't hide it from you. Now, we need at least 80,000 taels of silver. Do you... have any good ideas?"
Liu Mo was also curious. Eighty thousand taels was an astronomical figure. Where could Gong Xiaorou get so much money?
"My father has it." Gong Xiaorou replied, "On weekdays, many salt merchants give money to honor my father, eighty thousand taels, not much!"
Good guy!
This crazy girl truly regards Lin Shiqi and I as her own family. Otherwise, with your remarks, tell me all about the bribes your own father took, and you are cheating on me with your strength!
"No, no!" Liu Mo shook his head repeatedly.
Lying was not one of Gong Xiaorou's shortcomings, and she had the ability to let her father get such a sum of money.
But Liu Mo could never accept this money.
The reason why she married Gong Xiaorou was to give the sixth prince a painless "handle".
Taking such a huge sum of money from him would increase the "handle".
Use money from "evil forces" to support the army? Why don’t I, Liu Mo, become the new “protective umbrella” of the Salt Gang?
When the time comes, the eldest prince’s faction will seize this opportunity and add fuel to your jealousy. Why would the sixth prince protect me?
"Why?" Gong Xiaorou was puzzled, "Husband, do you have a prejudice against our Salt Gang?"
"It has nothing to do with this, I can't explain it to you!"
Gong Xiaorou frowned, "Husband, please take my dowry. You can exchange it for some money."
Ah...this crazy girl!
Oh no, Fourth Madam, Liu Mo felt warm in his heart, I will treat you better in the future.
Lin Shiqi took her hand and said, "Thank you sister!"
According to preliminary estimates, Gong Xiaorou's dowry could be sold for about one thousand taels. Although it was "not much", Liu Mo had already silently recorded this kindness.
However, just when Liu Mo was worried about money, his men came to report that something happened again within the Salt Gang!
Liu Mo, who became the real leader of the Salt Gang, rushed to the Salt Gang immediately.
When he pushed open the wooden door of the salt gang hall, he saw several salt merchants and the head of the Linxian salt gang arguing with Gong Changyi.
"Gong Gang Leader, for so many years, the Salt Road in the Great Xia Dynasty has been decided by the Salt Gang." One of the men, who smelled of sweat, said, "What benefits did you get from the official family? Do you want to abolish the gang rules? "
The smell of this person's sweat was so strong that it seemed particularly choking in the poorly ventilated hall.
"I just abolished some of the rules." Gong Changyi explained to him patiently.
"Every one of these items you abolished will kill me!" Another man who looked like a salt merchant roared, "We agreed that only one new salt store can be launched a year. This year, I don't know how much money it will take. How much money did it take to get approval from the Salt Gang?
How can you say it's useless? "
The words are straightforward enough. This guy used some special means of spending money to get the opportunity for the new salt to be launched.
Now that gang rules don't count, are the salt merchants who compete with him still being polite to you? A lot of money was spent, but in the end it was all in vain.
"Another Zhou Zhushan, haha!" Liu Mo couldn't help but snicker.
The members of the Yan Gang in Rongcheng should not be so stupid as to cause trouble. These people must be from the next county!
"My dear friend, the Palace Gang Leader has not canceled your new salt approval, so you can compete with other salt merchants!"
You guys obviously want to play monopoly, and you can't compete with normal means.
When the salt merchant heard this, he turned his head angrily, "Where did you come from?"
"Me? My surname is Liu, and my name is only one word ink." Liu Mo said while biting the peach in his hand.
Behind him, Xiao Yi led several elite Daxia soldiers to follow closely.
"They...are soldiers?" The salt merchant was shocked, "Are you an official?"
"That's right, I am the Ambassador of the Salt Transportation Department of Jianglin Prefecture."
"Okay, Gong Gang Leader, any official can come to our Salt Gang with such arrogance." The smelly Salt Gang leader pointed angrily at Gong Changyi and yelled, "You still said you didn't get any benefits from being an official?"
Others also followed suit, "Yes, Gang Leader Gong, why do we need people from the official family to participate in the affairs of the Salt Gang?"
When Liu Mo heard this, his expression changed, "Everyone, is this salt channel from the Great Xia Dynasty, or is it the salt channel from your Salt Gang?" He said, "Is it possible that your Salt Gang is not a citizen of my Great Xia Dynasty? It shouldn't be done by It’s under the jurisdiction of the government!!!”
