Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 821 The tangled gentry 【Seeking a monthly ticket】

Xin Mao will prepare for the exam and take the exam together with Shangguanyi, but the result is both sad and happy.Shangguanyi High School Scholars, but his own name failed Sun Shan, really depressed and unhappy.

Now Shangguanyi Jinshi and the first degree have been awarded the direct bachelor degree of Hongwenguan, and he is valued by His Majesty. He serves as the magistrate of Haiyu County, and his official career is bright.Thanks to Fang Jun's favor, he was able to serve as the head of a civil science department.

A few days ago, he and Shangguanyi went south together. One was proud of the spring breeze, and came to Suzhou to serve as the county magistrate of Haiyu. …

However, Xin Maojiang has a cheerful personality. Although he is from a poor family like Shangguanyi, his career is full of joys and sorrows, but being favored by Fang Jun, he has a stage to display his ambitions and talents, and he is not worried about the future in the next few years. The hardships of life are also considered good luck.

Zhou Tang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously muttered: "Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, get rid of the dust in your chest, and naturally camp in the valleys..." Of course, he had never heard these two words before. However, it did not prevent him from hearing the incisiveness and depth of it.

The more you ponder, the more enlightened you become.

There is a shock of "brilliant words"!

Zhou Tang praised: "Everyone in the world has said that the chief executive is a master of poetry and poetry that is rare in a lifetime. He can come up with good sentences and nouns at his fingertips. It turns out that the chief executive has already penetrated into the insight into the world. Being old is really admirable."

Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, get rid of the dust in the chest, and naturally camp in the valleys... Such words can not only be expressed by writing two good poems.The meaning of this sentence alone is thorough, not much worse than the sages and sages.

No wonder this person was able to gain the emperor's trust at such a young age, and he came to the south of the Yangtze River with an extremely domineering attitude. After a series of tricks and tricks, the Jiangnan gentry had to avoid the limelight, not to take the lead...

It can be described as an "outstanding man"!

General Xin Mao also sighed in admiration: "The chief executive is gifted by heaven, he is indeed a genius who is not born in the world. It is really a blessing for three lives that the younger generation will follow the tail and do better."

Zhou Tang ordered someone to make tea for hospitality, and the two sat opposite each other, talking and laughing happily.

Although there is a huge age gap, they are all from the same school of Confucius and Mencius, and their words have a lot in common, so they are not embarrassed to chat with each other.Gradually, Zhou Tang realized that although General Xin Mao was young, he had a lot of attainments in classics and history, especially when he often had thought-provoking and amazing words about current affairs. He was indeed a rare talent. Why is a young handsome man with a lot of knowledge and clear thinking, but why does he lose his name in reliability?

Could it be that the talents of Datang are so prosperous that even such a person should be inferior to others?
However, this is obviously someone else's privacy, and it is even more of a wound. Zhou Tang is well-versed in human nature, so naturally he would not ask about this abruptly.

After talking for a while, Zhou Tang went straight to the topic and asked, "I don't know if Master Xin is here this time, what is the order of the chief executive?"

Xin Maojiang put down the teacup in his hand, and said seriously: "I didn't order it, but the chief executive sent the junior here to ask Mr. Er Mugong whether the Yangxian Zhou family still intends to fulfill the quotation at the prospectus? "

Zhou Tang showed embarrassment, and hesitated: "To be honest, the Zhou family is absolutely unwilling to give up these shares. Although the Yangxian Zhou family is not as famous and wealthy as the Xiao family and the Gu family, they are also How can a kind family based on faith and righteousness do such a thing of backlash? It’s just that there are some reasons for this that are difficult to explain. It is because such quotations are only reported during the prospectus. To tell you the truth, the old man naturally wants to fulfill the agreement, but Zhou's cannot afford such a sky-high price, it's really a dilemma."

This can be regarded as open and honest.

Frankly speaking, the previous quotation was submitted because of some reasons that are difficult to explain.The Zhou family doesn't intend to renege on the debt, but their family background is so shallow that they really can't afford it...

Heart and soul, not a single lie.

It's just that what he said, "a good family based on faith and justice, can't do things that deny their accounts" is a bit inaccurate. It might be perfect if he added the sentence "now that the stock price of the salt field is soaring, only fools will deny their accounts" the truth.

However, Xin Mao would completely accept this reserved approach.

He laughed and said: "Before the younger generation came here, the chief manager once said that the Yangxian Zhou family is a powerful family for hundreds of years. Although it is not as powerful as it used to be, its roots are still there. It is not an ordinary small family. How can Xiaohu be compared? Now it seems that the chief executive has a vision."

Zhou Tang smiled wryly and said: "The chief executive is absurd, this way, the old man will be ashamed and shameless, but his family is shallow, and he is really powerless."

Between the words, it was a little depressing.

He really wants to keep those shares, and he really doesn't have that much money!
As soon as the news that the imperial court controlled the salt farm came out, the stock price of the salt farm rose in value.Datang did not implement the previous policy of "salt and iron official management", so the salt industry is a business that lasts forever.Even if one day the imperial court really implements the "salt and iron official camp", it will not kill all the salt merchants in the past.

It should be noted that this is not a private saltworks, it needs to be licensed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs!
The imperial court no longer has a bottom line, and will not change its policies day and night, and slap itself in the face!
But the Zhou family's offer was 90 guan a share, with a total price of [-] guan. How could they come up with so much money?On the contrary, there are many families who did not get the shares for various reasons, and now they regret it and rush to beg the Zhou family to transfer the shares in their hands, but knowing that this is the hen that lays golden eggs, how can the Zhou family be willing?
But it is even more impossible to sell the ancestral property.No matter how the salt farm is the hen that lays golden eggs, it is also foreign wealth, and the land and houses are the foundation of the family!
transfer, unwilling;

Eat it, and have no money...

This is exactly what Zhou Tang is struggling with now.

"Hehe," Xin Mao understood Zhou Tang's entanglement clearly. In fact, this is not a unique situation of the Zhou family, but a common situation faced by those families that have acquired shares. They are all helpless and in a dilemma for this matter .

"According to His Majesty's order, the chief executive opened a 'Royal Bank' in Huating Town. I wonder if Mr. Emu has heard of it?"

Zhou Tang was taken aback for a moment: "I've never heard of it. What is this bank?"

Ever since Fang Jun rose to prominence, no matter whether he was in Guanzhong before or now in Jiangnan, he always played tricks that he had never heard of, which made people puzzled and deeply surprised.

Xin Mao said succinctly: "It's very simple, lending money."

"Lending?" Zhou Tang's face did not change, but his heart skipped a beat.

How could Zhou Tang be unfamiliar with such things as "loaning"?In fact, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and some wealthy temples are all engaged in the "lending" business, and the Zhou family is no exception. No one knows the essence of "lending" better than him.

That is blood sucking!

Crack the bones and suck the marrow until you are exhausted...

Why did Fang Jun open a bank for lending money?Zhou Tang thought maliciously, could it be that in order to deal with his family's lack of money to buy the subscribed shares, he set up this bank and forced the major families to "borrow" from him?
This is too cruel...

The general folk "lending", such as nine out of ten and thirteen out, are very common rules.It is easy to borrow this money, but it is even more difficult to repay it.If you are unlucky and encounter a disaster year, and the one-year period has not been repaid, then congratulations, wait for the sale of the house, land, son, and daughter to prodigal...

If Fang Jun really forces the families who have subscribed for the shares to borrow money from his "bank" to buy his own shares in the salt farm, within three or two years, Fang Jun may have to pay for the wealth of these noble families. All the land in the south of the Yangtze River has become his family's.

Zhou Tang's face was ugly and he didn't say a word.

If Fang Jun is really like this, I am afraid that not many people ask him to borrow money, but quite a few people collectively set off a frenzy of boycott.They are all nobles who suck other people's blood, but now they are sucked by you, who can bear it?
It is possible to rebel by pulling poles!

Zhou Shu on the side glared angrily: "Is there any reason for this? Could it be that if our Zhou family doesn't borrow it, why does he force us to borrow it?"

　There's something else... Everyone knows that my younger brother is not a full-time writer, so it's inevitable that there will be a lot of miscellaneous things. I originally asked for leave today, but I have to break my promise because of something urgent.But the fourth is definitely guaranteed, it’s hard to say if there are more, everyone forgive me.The other one... all votes, support, thank you.
