Wu Liangcai shook his head and said, "It's not about the monthly money, but it's also related to the monthly money! It's the Sun family from SF Inn who begged me!"
Liu Haojia smiled and said: "I see, this Sun family has great magical powers!"
Wu Liangcai said to everyone: "The Sun family are natives of the capital. They have a large family and have produced many civil servants. Although there are no high-ranking ones, there is still a lot of connections, otherwise you wouldn't be able to ask for help from me!"
Liu Haojia said to everyone: "Then what your lord means is..."
Wu Liangcai said hurriedly: "You don't need to ask me about this matter. I was just asked to make peace with you! If we can't reach an agreement, it's none of my business!"
After hearing the words, Liu Haojia pondered for a moment and said: "Since the Lord is here, my subordinates must give him face! According to my idea, if he dares to chase and beat our Jinyiwei people, this inn should not be opened again! But since If you ask for mercy, I will fine them a thousand taels of silver and imprison them for a month. I don’t care what they say to the outside world!"
Wu Liangcai was cautious and asked, "Isn't the fine of one thousand taels a little too much?"
Liu Haojia smiled at everyone: "Sir, this thousand taels of fined silver is not much at all! He has been running the inn in the capital for many years, and the depreciation of the house has long been spread to almost nothing. It can be said that everything he does now is It’s a business without capital, and the profit is huge!”
Wu Liangcai thought this was the truth when he heard it. Moreover, he was only invited to intercede, and it didn't matter how he said it. Besides, he couldn't offend Liu Haojia just to return a favor! Everyone knows that Liu Haojia is now a close minister of the emperor and a popular person in the eyes of Emperor Wanli! If he offends him and twists his mouth in front of Emperor Wanli, he will not get any good fruit from him!
Thinking of this, he slapped everyone on the thigh and said, "Okay, since you said so, I've finished the matter! I'll just tell them!"
He said he wanted to leave, but how could Liu Haojia let him leave so easily! Otherwise, if word spread, it would mean that he was not polite enough! So he tried his best to keep him, and Wu Liangcai was also willing to get closer to him, so the two hit it off immediately and had a drink in a restaurant outside. The two became very close because of this!
Later, Wu Liangcai went back drunkenly to talk about the matter. The Sun family members were decisive and sent the monthly money together with the fine to the small school field, and replaced the five Sun Donghais. Then he closed the shop and said that the room was too old and needed to be renovated.
Outsiders may not know the reason, but people in the capital know it clearly! Seeing that his family had softened, many people followed suit and handed in their monthly routines.
However, at this time, there was already an undercurrent in the capital because of Jin Yiwei's collection of money, and many people planned to impeach Liu Haojia! But when they wanted to take action, they found that they had nowhere to start!
First of all, if they want to impeach Jin Yiwei for collecting money, they can't talk about it openly. Because this matter was originally carried out in private and has been operating for many years. Liu Haojia just expanded the scope of collecting money!
At the same time, many officials shared the benefits in the past, especially after Liu Haojia expanded his stall this time and promised to increase the amount of profit sharing to others, so the complainant cannot reveal this matter, otherwise It offended too many people!
But if he alone said that Jin Yiwei could blackmail a certain merchant, he might be successful, but there is an example of SF Inn. In the future, as long as Jin Yiwei comes to check three times a day, your business will not be done! After all, you can't say that Jin Yiwei's search for wanted criminals was wrong, right?
Also, not many officials are involved in business transactions. Let’s talk about the nobles first. Their business has long been completely broken up by Liu Haojia by sending his children to the martial arts gym! Nowadays, the business under Xungui's name is very smart. Not only does he pay the monthly payment in full, but he also actively notifies the surrounding neighbors to pay the monthly payment on time!
Most of the civil servants have no business, and those who are not involved in business just adopt a cold-looking attitude. After all, it’s not their family that was robbed of money! Wouldn’t it be better if the money collected could be distributed more profitably!
Among those officials whose families had business, some were generous and didn't want to cause trouble, so they paid the money directly. Some officials directly passed on the losses to the merchants in which they invested, and they themselves had no losses, so they would not say anything! So there are very few people left who want to cause trouble, and they can't make any waves at all!
Under such circumstances, the work of collecting money went very smoothly. A few merchants, Liu Haojia, who refused to pay the monthly payment, arranged for gang members to cause trouble again, and ordered his men to search for wanted criminals. These people gave in completely!
So before the end of this month, Liu Haojia finally collected all the monthly money. That means it’s time to take stock.
On the day of the inventory, Wu Shilang and others all arrived, waiting for the number to come out. As a result, they arrived too early and the general ledger settlement was not completed at all. In desperation, they had no choice but to sit there and watch the accounting gentlemen pull the abacus beads and pass the account books to and from the clerks.
After almost half an hour, the calculation was finally over! A bookkeeper respectfully placed a note in front of Liu Haojia. General Sun Shen raised his hand to grab it, but Liu Haojia grabbed it first. General Sun Shen could only sit back angrily.
Liu Haojiaqu flicked the note with his fingers and said, "Does it match the last number?"
The accountant was a servant of the Liu family and said directly: "Second Young Master, don't worry, the two numbers are one, that's right!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "Okay, let's go down! Then count the number of people who want to send money everywhere, and I'll look back."
Mr. Accountant agreed and went down to allocate manpower. Liu Haojia held the note in his hand, bared his teeth and smiled at several people. Wu Shilang and County Magistrate Zhang were a little more reserved, but General Sun Shen, who was born in the military and was used to being rude, directly reached out to grab the note in Liu Haojia's hand and said at the same time: "Take it out and count it, otherwise we will start a fight!"
Liu Haojia smiled and pushed him away and said, "Okay, okay! I won't make trouble with you anymore! I'll just tell you the numbers!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia opened his palms and spread the note on the table. Everyone came to take a look and suddenly took a breath of air! I saw it read: Three hundred and eighty-four thousand, five hundred and sixty-seven taels and eight hundred and fifty-five cents!
When the three people saw this number, they felt their heads buzzing! Wu Shilang was a little older, and he even felt that the world was spinning. He couldn't help but sit down slowly while holding the table with his hands.
