As soon as Song Yi opened his mouth, most people in the clan disagreed.
But the problem is, it doesn't matter if they don't agree, because everyone has said that the money spent is their own family's money and has nothing to do with the clan.
In fact, there are not many properties in the family. Because they are merchants, so even if the Song family has some land, most of it is registered as a dowry for the bride's wedding, and some of it is hung in her own home. In the name of a domestic slave.
The property belonging to the clan is nothing more than some sacrificial fields and an old house.
Song Yi didn't even notice these things. As long as these people didn't mess with him, he would be happy in peace and quiet.
But since they can't learn to stay calm on their own, don't blame yourself for being cruel.
This time, the Song family's affairs were quite big, and in the end, they even wanted to split their clans.
Mr. Song and his younger brothers separated from the family. They didn't ask for a cent of the family property that originally belonged to them, and the ancestral genealogy was rewritten.
Song Yi doesn't want to take advantage of his previous elders, but he can't suffer a loss either.
Their own family's properties have cleared out all the relatives of the original clan who were involved in the dark side, and they will have nothing to do with making or losing money in the future.
Not only that, some of the elders of the clan used to rely on their seniority to pay debts in Song Yi's shop. Now that the clan has been divided, Song Yi has no intention of saving face for them anymore and will transfer the debts to the account book the next day. I sent them all over and asked someone to pass on the message that the account should be cleared within three days, otherwise, I’ll see you in the Yamen!
The old patriarch actually didn't expect that it would turn out like this.
Their original intention was to use Song Yi's gift to Xie Xiuwen to get him to give up some benefits.
For example, they had originally agreed to hand over the two shops in Gaoyang County to the clan for management, and the medicine store in Fucheng also wanted to hand them over to the clan.
Unexpectedly, this time he shot himself in the foot.
Not only did the benefits not come, but I also got myself into a trap.
Generally speaking, Song Yi's father and uncles suffered a loss in this matter. For example, not all of the family property, but at least 70% of the new acquisitions in the past thirty years were attributed to their family.
It's just that Mr. Song thought that since they were going to break up, it would be easy to get together and part ways, and don't let others gossip behind their backs just because of some small gains.
Everyone knows that the Song family is the richest man in Gaoyang County. Even if they go to get their own things seriously, some people will say that they are rich and unkind, and even scold them for forgetting their ancestors!
In fact, this time the Song clan members would make a fuss, and Song Yi would secretly support them.
With the convenience given by Xie Xiuwen, how could he not do a good job?
Thinking of the more than 100,000 taels of silver saved and the errand assigned by the man, he did not dare to be careless.
Originally, their family had been secretly thinking about breaking up with their relatives who had left the fifth server. This time, it was better. They just took the opportunity to figure it out and avoid causing trouble for them in the future.
Now that the Song family was almost cleaned up, Song Yi dared to show this business document to his father.
When Mr. Song saw this thing, he was so frightened that half of his soul flew away!
Standing up all of a sudden, people would be scared to death.
"Here, where did you get this thing?"
As soon as Song Yi saw his reaction, he knew that he also knew about Mao Wendie here, so he told him everything about the conversation between Xie Xiuwen and him. Of course, he didn't mention the search for seeds or seedlings.
This matter was a secret order. He promised not to tell anyone else, but he couldn't mention it.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir!" Mr. Song said, turning around and cupping his hands with emotion on his face.
Song Yi said: "Father, our family can't eat this plate. Mr. Xie reminded us to find a few less conspicuous ones to cooperate with. He recommended two companies. We can also consider whether to cooperate."
"Well, Mr. Xie is foresighted. He is worried that we will get too ahead of ourselves and be tripped up by others."
"What you are saying is that Mr. Xie also said that he is far away in the capital. If something happens, he may not be able to take action in time, so he recommended these two families. In addition, my son means that he wants to include the Fang family."
"Um?"
Mr. Song is such a shrewd old man, he understood it immediately.
"It's okay. We won't break the law. This doesn't count as bribery. You just have to decide what to do."
Song Yi's eyes widened: "Father, you will leave such a big matter to me?"
"Why not?"
What Mr. Song didn't say was that since Mr. Xie wrote specifically to ask you to come over, it means that he values you. If it weren't for Mr. Xie's affirmation, he would not have dared to let his son take on such a big responsibility.
Song Yi started to work on it. Because there were several new people joining, he wanted to open a new business name. This was simple and a piece of cake for them.
Besides, after Xie Xiuwen's visit was over, he returned to Beijing with a fruitful harvest of banknotes and cash.
Whether it was the money donated by wealthy businessmen to build the pagoda or the money donated by merchants who voluntarily contributed to border trade, it naturally shocked the court and outside.
After all, the border trade documents were produced by the imperial court. Naturally, they couldn't be sold with such clear price tags. What would that look like?
Where is the majesty of a country's court?
It is said that the wealthy businessmen learned that the imperial court wanted to develop border trade, but it also required a lot of energy and financial resources, so they naturally expressed their willingness to contribute financial resources to relieve the emperor's worries.
This name is so useful.
There was no need for Xie Xiuwen to do anything more. Here in the capital, ten more border trade documents were sent out, with the same price of 220,000 taels each.
This made Emperor Jingwen very happy.
With this money, winter clothes, food, military pay, etc. for the 200,000 troops at the border this winter will be provided.
Even the expenses for building government offices in border towns and military camps in the first half of next year are covered.
Emperor Jingwen was so happy that he praised Xie Xiuwen several times.
Can you not praise me?
What emperor wouldn't like to see such a capable and loyal minister?
This really became a knife in Emperor Jingwen's hand, cutting wherever he pointed.
The key is that those who were cut down had to be grateful to Emperor Jingwen and Xie Xiuwen.
This made many veterans in the court look red-eyed.
The old guys are all wondering, how did Xie Xiuwen grow up with such a brain?
He can handle any difficult task beautifully, and even big cases like King Ping's rebellion can be investigated by him.
Now just a trip to Jiangnan, millions of taels of silver have been put into the national treasury!
Is this person really going to come down from the sky to endure the calamity?
Naturally, the issue of border trade cannot be solved in a short time.
Honglu Temple also sent two envoys, and Zuo Wuwei sent thousands of elites to escort them to the border countries. If the progress is fast, there will be good news in almost half a year.
