Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2032, poor

Liang Mansion in Beijing.

Liang Chu looked at the breakfast in front of him, it was very shabby, a little salted radish, sweet potato porridge, and a few corn cobs, he was reluctant to eat even eggs.

Liang Chu's heart was very sour. His family was also a scholarly family. In the past, it was also a big family in Foshan, Guangdong, and they were all well-clothed and well-fed since childhood.

I didn't expect that I was in my 70s, and I was going to eat bran swallowed vegetables.

"Master, you can just eat something as long as you can. You have to go to the morning court later. How can you do without food?"

Seeing that Liang Chu didn't have much appetite, Mrs. Zhang also said with tears in her eyes: "I've already talked to my natal family, let my natal family share tens of thousands of taels of silver for our family to use first. "

Hearing his wife Zhang's words, Liang Chu sighed and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Mrs. Zhang is also in her 70s, her natal parents have long since left, and the connection and affection with her natal family has weakened a lot.

Now he has to open his mouth to borrow money from his natal family, which really puts his old face on the line.

"The money should be given to Liang Cixi first. No matter what, we must keep the last factory in our family."

"If you eat bran-soaked vegetables, you can eat bran-soaked vegetables. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you're old."

Liang Chu thought about it, and finally decided to invest all his money in the last factory in his family. This last textile factory was the lifeblood of the Liang family.

After investing several million taels of silver to build a large factory, after many years of operation, this factory is worth tens of millions of taels of silver, with tens of thousands of machines, and can earn millions of taels for the Liang family every year. silver.

Definitely a hen that lays golden eggs!

"First pay the wages of the workers, stabilize everyone's emotions, and let the factory continue to resume production."

"If this factory is gone, our Liang family will really have nothing."

Liang Chu's heart ached when he thought of this.

Think about the family's originally huge industries, such as cement factories, oil fields, commercial banks, and a large number of stocks, some commercial banks, factories, etc. in which they have invested.

However, because the loans owed to the bank could not be paid, the capital chain was cut off, and funds could not be raised, so they could only give up their lives to save the car, and sold a large amount of assets to repay the debts. In the end, there was only this last factory left.

Even the shares of Huihai Bank were sold. At the beginning, they invested several million taels in Huihai Bank, but they sold the shares of Huihai Bank for less than [-] taels of cabbage.

It can be said that it was a blood loss, so bad that even grandma didn't know me anymore.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t sell it at a low price, because once the Daming First Bank takes it away, it will be even more at a loss.

"I'm asking my natal family for more money."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, tears immediately fell down.

At this age, I still have to put down my old face to ask for money from my natal family. Fortunately, my natal family still has some family background, and Liang Chu is still a minister, so no matter what, I gave tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Forget it~"

"It is already very good to be able to give tens of thousands, and we will remember it in our hearts."

Liang Chu shook his head, then quickly finished a bowl of sweet potato porridge, and then ate a corn cob.

This is getting old, and almost brought down his old teeth.

After breakfast and changing into his official uniform, Liang Chu habitually shouted, "Housekeeper, prepare the car~"

"Master, the car at home has been sold."

The butler weakly reminded that Liang Chu likes to take a car very much, because it is fast and comfortable, and he is not afraid of wind and rain.

It's just that now in order to raise money, the car in the family is also sold.

"Oh~"

When Liang Chu heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent, and then said: "Get a rickshaw, let someone take me there."

"Yes~"

After listening to the butler, he also silently wiped away his tears.

I have been following the master for decades, and the Liang family has never been so downcast as it is now. Almost all the valuable items that can be sold in the family have been sold.

Liang Chu was sitting in a rickshaw, and as the rickshaw moved forward, the cold winter wind whizzed by, coming towards him like a knife on his body, causing a faint stinging pain.

This made Liang Chu couldn't help tightening his coat, only to find that his favorite Arctic fox jacket was gone, and he remembered that he ordered someone to pawn it for money.

Liang Chu looked at the figures on the surrounding streets again, and immediately couldn't help but bury his head in the thick hat, so as not to be seen by others, it's embarrassing.

It's really poor now, and the poor can no longer live decently.

But this is not what worries Liang Chu the most. Whether the last textile factory in his family can be kept is still unknown, because there is another bank loan mortgaged by the textile factory that is about to expire.

If the Liang family can't come up with this sum of money by then, the factory will still be confiscated.

Thinking of this, Liang Chu became even more worried.

The family has inherited the foundation of several generations, and thought it could be more brilliant, but who knew that it would be ruined all of a sudden before he was buried in the soil.

His son Liang Cixi is now raising money and borrowing money everywhere, but now the Liang family is like a phoenix in distress, not as good as a chicken, and they are not welcome at all.

Those so-called friends in the past were all avoided, and they were not willing to help at all.

"How are we going to get through this difficulty!"

Liang Chu came out of the palace worried. Regarding this matter, there were already Mercedes-Benz cars parked outside the palace. Officials got out of the cars with smiles on their faces, and chatted together in small groups.

Or some people think the weather is too cold, so they just sit comfortably in the car and wait for the morning morning.

Since the car appeared, it has quickly become the favorite of Daming people, especially the Mercedes-Benz, which has always been at the forefront of the car. A lot of innovation and the use of technology make the Mercedes-Benz not only have a cool appearance , ultra-high driving and riding experience, it has a luxury-like comfort level and an extremely low failure rate.

Although Mercedes-Benz is the most expensive car, even with more and more car brands and increasingly fierce competition, the price of Mercedes-Benz is still very expensive, firmly occupying the throne of luxury cars and sales of Ming Dynasty.

Arriving outside the palace, Liang Chu got out of the rickshaw generously at this time, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Mr. Liang~"

"You are this?"

When a minister saw Liang Chu, he hurried forward to say hello.

"The car is sold."

Liang Chu said lightly.

"In any case, this can't be short of Mr. Liang's travel expenses. I happen to have a spare car at home. You can ask someone to drive one back and use it first."

"It won't work, it won't work."

"It's good to take a rickshaw, and it's good. I'm older and I like to go slower. Cars are prone to motion sickness sometimes."

Liang Chu shook his head when he heard it.

At this time, Yang Tinghe also came, similar to Liang Chu, also came in a rickshaw, and did not sit in the two sedan chairs, because many servants and servants at home had been dismissed, and no one was carrying the sedan chair.

"Mr. Yang~"

When Liang Chu saw it, he felt as if he was suffering from the same disease, and tears were about to come out.

Look at the officials from the ruling and opposition parties, all of them came here by car, but they, the old-fashioned officials, are all poor now.

Some even came to the morning court on bicycles. It seemed that some people even fell down. After all, it was winter and the road was very slippery.

There are also people who came here on foot. They were old and walked a few steps and took a few steps. I don’t know how early they started walking. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, they hurriedly found a car with someone they wanted to know and sat down to rest.

"Mr. Liang~"

"Mao Gong~"

"Jiang Gong~"

A few bigwigs from the old school gathered together once, looked at each other, and saw sadness and tears in each other's eyes, this time they were completely exhausted.
