Later, Ji Wuyin also learned about Qin Sheng's possible exposure.
He asked Xue Xu, "Do you want me to move you somewhere else?"
Xue Xu replied, "No need."
Ji Wuyin was surprised by this answer, "Aren't you afraid of death? Why don't you want to transfer?"
The city gate can't be sealed for long, as long as they get through these days safely.
Of course Xue Xu knew this.
Xue Xu smiled and said, "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided." His smile was a bit meaningful.
Xue Xu had a hunch that sooner or later they would have to face Xie Zhan and confront him head-on.
He just learned from Mr. Qin Liu that before he left, Mrs. Qin Liu gave him a tips bag and said that if he met Xie Zhan and Xie Zhan made things difficult for him, he would open it.
Xue Xu knew that it was no problem for them to leave. Mrs. Qin Liu had prepared the door for them to leave, and Xie Zhan couldn't stop them.
The money they earned can be taken away together at that time. As for the remaining two warehouses of grain, they can later be transported from the south through Ji Wuyin.
There was nothing they could do about it. In one night, they moved a large warehouse of 100,000 shi of grain, which was already their limit.
They were really competing for time with the imperial envoy, and there was really nothing they could do about the two warehouses behind.
Liaodong County, Houcheng County Sheriff's Office
Zhou Da and Lu Songli reported on the results of the battle in the Southland.
"...Mr. Xue and the others had just sent the children of the Zhu family out. Not long after, the major city gates in the south were blocked. Currently, only one of the three warehouses of food has been opened to be sent out of Nancheng. At present, the food Still floating on the sea.”
Lu Desheng was sitting aside and heard that Mr. Xue and his son-in-law picked up such a big leak just after arriving in Nandi. He couldn't help but smack his lips. The peach his daughter picked was a bit big.
If they had not arrived in the south, the food in the three warehouses of the Zhu family would have been cheaper for Xie Zhan.
Lu Desheng was happy when he thought that they had taken away Xie Zhan's fish. It was such a relief!
Lu Songli asked with concern, "How many children did the Zhu family send out in total?"
Zhou Da replied, "Eleven people."
Lu Songli asked someone to invite Qin Heng.
Later, she and Qin Heng would go to meet the children of the Zhu family.
Zhu Changnian was generous and gave them 300,000 shi of food. No matter what, they should arrange everything for others.
Her father can't get involved in this matter. Her father is also the governor of Liaodong County and a serious Dali official. These children of the Zhu family have lower status than the Qin family.
After Zhou Da reported the situation, Lu Songli asked him to go down and have a good rest.
When she and her father were the only ones left in the room, Lu Songli joked, "Dad, our new emperor also has a good life. Whenever he is hungry, someone will feed him."
When he ascended the throne, the treasury was empty and she fed him once. Now that there are floods in the south, the disaster situation in the entire disaster area is severe, and the national treasury is empty again. Now Xie Zhan fed him again.
Lu Desheng curled his lips, "His reputation will not get better if he acts like this."
Speaking of the new emperor, Lu Desheng couldn't help but think of the late emperor, and felt unhappy again. Song Mo was so bad and insulted the late emperor's wisdom.
"Forget about the emperor, just now Zhou Da said that the major city gates in the south were blocked. Were Mr. Xue and his son-in-law discovered?"
"Xie Zhan must have noticed something was wrong."
As soon as Mr. Xue and Qin Sheng arrived in the south, they brought the food hidden by the Zhu family in one pot. This is no small matter, being noticed is inevitable. Xie Zhan is not stupid, right? In addition, the imperial envoy going to the Southland this time is Zuo Anmin, so it is normal for Xie Zhan to have people block the major city gates in the Southland.
Lu Desheng: "What should we do?" Xie Zhan won't be caught in this situation, right?
It is not appropriate for the son-in-law to appear in the Southland as a criminal.
Lu Songli was not very worried, "Dad, don't worry, the problem is not big, Xie Zhan can't do anything to them."
Southland
As soon as Ji Wuyin returned to Ji Mansion from Xue Xu's villa, a servant came to report that Gu Huaisheng, the young master of the Gu family, was visiting.
Ji Wuyin naturally asked someone to invite him in, and he was also thinking about his purpose.
After Gu Huaisheng was led to the living room by his servants, he saw Ji Wuyin and Young Master Ji.
Both parties greeted each other with greetings, and then the host and guest took their seats.
After some pleasantries, Gu Huaisheng cut to the chase and brought up the rebellion in the Southland, "Uncle Shi, our two families are really in danger this time."
Among the six major families in the South, plus the richest man of the Ji family, they are the seven major powers in the South. The Gu family and the Ji family are the only ones left with great achievements.
Ji Wuyin nodded, "You Gu family are okay. Our Ji family is really in danger this time. The Ji family bank is almost finished this time."
"I would also like to thank Nephew Gu Xian for not taking out the deposits when Ji's Bank was in the most difficult time, and not making Ji's trouble worse. Otherwise, Ji's Bank might not be able to cope with such a huge run pressure. Uncle Shi accepts your kindness this time. .”
"Uncle Ji Shi, please don't say that." Gu Huaisheng knew very well that if the Ji family fell, the Gu family would be unable to survive alone. Adding insult to injury to Ji's family is tantamount to digging one's own grave, and he won't do that.
"The Ji's Bank was able to survive this crisis safely, thanks to Uncle Shi's foresight and sufficient money to cope with the crisis."
Gu Huaisheng made a rough calculation and found that in response to the run crisis, Ji's Bank had withdrawn a total of nearly three million taels of cash.
He could only say that Ji Wuyin was worthy of being the richest man in the South.
The Gu family also has a big business, but asking them to spend one million in cash is too much. Their assets include shops, fields, villages and other properties, as well as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. The proportion of cash will not be too heavy.
"The second thing is that Uncle Lai Shi has a wide network of friends and has noble people to help him."
Gu Huaisheng's words refer to the fact that "in the end, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce deposited a large sum of money into Ji's Bank, thus completely resolving the run crisis at Ji's Bank."
Ji Wuyin stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's just good luck."
Gu Huaisheng answered, "For people like us, luck is also very important. Speaking of which, when did Uncle Shi become aware of Xie Zhan's ambition?"
If we say that Ji's bank has three million taels of cash, it means that Ji's strength is so strong that it does not use three million taels of cash. Gu Huaisheng preferred the three million in cash, which was raised in advance after Ji Wuyin learned the news in advance.
Ji Wuyin was born as a merchant, and he understood better how money begets money.
It stands to reason that he should at least invest 1.5 million taels of silver out of it, leaving around 1.5 million taels in cash, which is enough to cover most of the bank's emergencies.
Something was unusual, and he had to think about its implications.
Ji Wuyin gave him a thumbs up, "Nephew Gu Xian is so smart and perceptive. I do know Xie Zhan's plan before you do."
"Uncle Shi learned about it through the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce?" Gu Huaisheng guessed.
He believed that the Gu family's information network was no worse than the Ji family's. None of them, the Gu family, had learned the news in advance, so they could rule out the possibility that Ji Wuyin's information came from the South.
As for the rise of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's bookstores in the south, the Ji family helped.
There is no doubt that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has good relations with the Ji family.
Furthermore, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's precise actions and the fact that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was one of the few forces that could profit from the chaos in the Southland. He had to suspect that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce had anticipated the chaos in the Southland in advance. This possibility was very high.
Ji Wuyin was really amazed this time, "Nephew Gu Xian, you are so smart."
What's wrong with this era? These young people are all very evil. It is not enough to have Lu Er and Lu Songli in the north, and Xie Zhan in the south. Even Gu Huaisheng has merits compared with the two.
