Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 199 The first cooperation between Quan and Qian (4k)

The reason why Shen Wansan didn't expose Shen Mao's little intentions was just because he was the other party's father.

No matter how my son plots against me, I am still me after all.

As for Shen Wansan's other two sons, they were not much better.

Shen Wang's thoughts represented the thoughts of most of the Shen family at this time, which was to escape.

But the whole world is not the royal land, where can one escape?

After seeing the rail train in Yangzhou, Shen Wansan was extremely convinced that the imperial court's control over local areas would only become stronger and stronger in the future, and it would be useless even if you fled to the ends of the earth.

And now if things are not settled yet, even good things will turn into bad things.

The younger son Shen Rong is too naive.

At this time, he still wanted to pin the hopes of the entire Shen family on those nobles.

Those people may be able to do things that are the icing on the cake, but it is absolutely impossible to pull chestnuts out of the fire.If something big happens to the Shen family, as long as these people don't take the opportunity to step on it, the Shen family's money over the years will not be in vain.

Shen and Mao waited respectfully, not daring to make unnecessary expressions.

Shen Wansan looked at his three sons with a tired look on his face. After explaining some important things about the Shen family and Shen Ji Trading Company after he left, he finally said: "I will take Shen Xia and Shen Ji with me later today." Cheng set off to Beijing, the matter is settled, you can go down."

As the father of Shen Xia and Shen Cheng, Shen Mao originally wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words.

Knowing a father is better than a son, Shen Cheng knew in his heart that Shen Wansan, who loved Shen Xia and Shen Cheng the most, would never harm them.

"Yes, father, I will leave now."

Shen Mao was the last one to exit the room. When the door was closed, he glanced inside. I wonder if it was an illusion. When he saw the old man's figure, he looked a little lonely.

The reason why Shen Wansan brought his most beloved grandchildren to Beijing was because of his own selfish motives.

He was able to reach today step by step and manage the Shen family into the huge business empire it is today.

One of the most critical principles for doing things is to try your best in everything, hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.

If the Shen family really cannot escape this disaster, Shen Wansan hopes to keep these two seeds.

And in this situation, the only one who could save the two of them was that man.

in the carriage.

"Grandpa, are you taking me to Yangzhou this time to study?" Shen Cheng asked.

Shen Wansan reached out and touched Shen Cheng's head, and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Cheng has been thinking about going to school in Yangzhou since he came back from Yangzhou."

"Who told our Suzhou private school to be so boring?" Shen Cheng stuck out his tongue and made a face.

Compared to the lively Shen Cheng, the little adult Shen Xia remained silent along the way.

Apparently she had heard about the imperial edict and understood that Shen Wansan's visit to Beijing was unlucky.

She tugged on Shen Wansan's sleeves with her little hands and said, "Grandpa, if I don't go to Yangzhou to study, Xia'er will accompany you to Beijing."

"Silly boy, grandpa is fine." Shen Wansan looked at the worried look on Shen Xia's face, shook his head and smiled.

I didn't expect that one day I would be worried by my granddaughter. It seems that she is really old.

Yangzhou.

When Yang Xian heard his subordinates coming to report that Shen Wansan was asking for a meeting, he nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked someone to welcome them in.

Zhu Biao is indeed the same Zhu Biao, who pays attention to efficiency when doing things.

But Yang Xian didn't know that the reason why Shen Wansan paid a special visit today was just because he was passing through Yangzhou and came to pay a visit as a courtesy.

After all, the Shen family is still the agent of Yangzhou Glass.

But when they met, Yang Xian was a little confused when he looked at Shen Wansan with a serious face, then Xiao Shen Xia with an equally serious face, and a confused Xiao Shen Cheng. What kind of posture was this?

After sitting down and chatting for a while.

The more Yang Xian listened, the more something was wrong. What did Shen Wansan mean in his words, was he actually asking for help?

Only then did Yang Xian realize that Shen Wansan must have misunderstood.

He suppressed his smile and asked: "Mr. Shen, did the emperor not explain in the imperial edict why he summoned you to the capital this time?"

Shen Wansan nodded and said solemnly: "That's true."

It is precisely because of this that it makes people feel more scared and uneasy.

This is the so-called unfathomable power of God.

Yang Xian knew it well, but he didn't reveal it and agreed to let Shen Wansan take care of him.

Shen Wansan was surprised and even more grateful that Yang Xian agreed to this matter without even thinking about it.

You know, before coming, he was already prepared to pay various prices. Even so, Shen Wansan was only [-]% sure that Yang Xian would agree to this.

Don't take other people's kindness for granted.

Before arriving, Shen Wansan had already made various arrangements.

The property under the Shen family that originally belonged to him has been transferred to Shen Xia and her brother.

These were originally apprenticeship ceremonies prepared by Shen Wansan for his siblings.

Even if these assets were converted into money, it would be an astronomical sum, but Shen Wansan knew that his behavior was still an attempt to reach a high level.

What is Yang Xian's identity now, and what is his identity, Shen Wansan.

In this era, some identity gaps cannot be filled simply with money.

Yang Xian understood what Shen Wansan meant.

But in this matter, he did not agree.

He just promised that he would arrange for the siblings to study in Yangzhou Primary School.

Shen Wansan could only give up, and then thanked him profusely.

With Yang Xian's status, it was enough for him to agree to take in Shen Xia's sister and brother. It was indeed a bit too much for him to want Yang Xian to take in his disciples.

Shen Wansan smiled bitterly in his heart.

Yang Xian took Shen Xia and Shen Cheng to the train station and watched Shen Wansan get on the train to the capital. After that, he took them back to his house and asked his servants to arrange accommodation for them, and then notified people to arrange schooling for them. related matters.

the other side.

When Shen Wansan set foot in the capital, he felt as if he were dead. He had already prepared for the worst.

Mao Xiang, who received the news of Shen Wansan's visit to Beijing, had already been waiting at the train station with his Ouchi guards for a long time.

After Shen Wansan got off the train, he felt a chill in his heart when he saw so many imperial guards guarding the station. Was he afraid that he would run away?

Fortunately, the way out for his two grandchildren had been arranged, and Shen Wansan's tense body relaxed at the thought of it.

"Is this Shen Wansan, Mr. Shen?" Mao Xiang asked.

"I am Shen Wansan, who is your Excellency?" Shen Wansan nodded.

"Mao Xiang, Imperial Guard. According to His Majesty's instructions, we have been waiting here for a long time. I will take you into the palace right now." Mao Xiang said.

With that said, Mao Xiang took Shen Wansan into the palace to meet the saint.

The palace, the imperial study.

"Shen Wansan, a common man, pays homage to the emperor." As soon as Shen Wansan entered the study, he looked at the tall figure wearing a dragon robe, immediately knelt down and saluted.When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the sound, he turned around and looked, with a smile on his face: "Commander Shen, please get up."

Shen Wansan stood up shakily on crutches.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw him like this, he spoke to the chamberlain on the side and said, "It's not easy for Shen to come from Suzhou at his old age. Please give me a seat."

"Thank you, Majesty Ron."

Shen Wansan said and was about to salute again, but was supported by Mao Xiang who was inspired by Lao Zhu's eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome, Mr. Shen. I've long wanted to meet you, the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty."

"The common people are terrified. They are really ashamed to be called the God of Wealth." Shen Wansan said.

From the courtesy of being given a seat when he first entered the house, to the title of "God of Wealth" just now.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang did this, the more unsure Shen Wansan became.

But it seems that it will not be a disaster involving beheading and confiscating the family, because if it really happens, as the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot make such an unnecessary move.

Shen Wansan was heartbroken and simply asked directly: "The common people are stupid, I don't know why your majesty summoned the common people here this time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "We would like to borrow a sum of money from Mr. Shen."

"Borrow. Borrow money?" The unexpected answer made Shen Wansan unable to react for a moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Shen Wansan's reaction and asked, "Does Mr. Shen have no money?"

"Yes! How much does your Majesty want?" Shen Wansan said immediately, fearing that Zhu Yuanzhang would be unhappy.

He had already prepared for the worst, even risking his own life, but now Zhu Yuanzhang was just borrowing money. How could this not make Shen Wansan excited?

As long as you don't borrow your brain, everything is easy to talk about.

He, Shen Wansan, didn't have much else, but he had a lot of money. The Shen family had properties all over the south of the Yangtze River.

There is nothing better than spending money to eliminate disasters.

After hearing what Shen Wansan said, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became energetic.

Sure enough, as Yang Xian said, Shen Wansan was rich, and he actually asked how much he wanted.

Originally, he only planned to borrow 2000 million taels, but when Zhu Yuanzhang said it, it turned into 3000 million taels.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Shen Wansan was stunned.

3000 taels? !
This number is definitely a big number even for the entire Shen family.

If converted into future generations, it would be equivalent to more than 200 billion yuan.

Although the outside world said that Shen Wansan had a cornucopia of treasures, he really didn't have such a thing.

On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang then said: "These 3000 million taels of silver are borrowed by the imperial court from your Shen family. They are not borrowed from you in vain. After the expiration, the imperial court will pay you part of the interest. Of course, this money will not be used in the short term. The court will not pay it back."

"I wonder how old Mr. Shen is this year?"

"Six out of seventy," Shen Wansan replied truthfully.

"Then let it last for 24 years. When the court gives your Shen family a profit, it will be regarded as a [-]th birthday gift to you, Mr. Shen."

3000 million taels of silver, if you calculate one cent of the profit, it would be as much as 300 million taels of silver, but if you spread it out every year, it would be less than 13 taels.

This amount of money is naturally not much for the Shen family.

But the court borrowed money and paid back interest, which was enough to surprise Shen Wansan.

What is Zhu Yuanzhang's identity? He is a great person, and it is difficult to follow him once he says something.

Shen Wansan was not worried at all that the court would not pay back the money.

It just so happened that his sons couldn't help themselves. Instead of worrying about the Shen family being defeated by them, it was better to lend the money to the court.

A hundred years from now, he will still be able to leave some hope for the descendants of the Shen family.

By that time, his grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren, had grown up.

Shen Wansan believed that with this money, Shen Cheng and Shen Xia might be able to take the Shen family to a higher place.

No matter how bad things go, it can still ensure that the Shen family will not fall into trouble.

In a few moments, Shen Wansan figured out the pros and cons.

"Your Majesty! 3000 million taels of silver were borrowed by ordinary people!"

"I'm afraid it will take some time for ordinary people to raise such a large sum of money at that time." Shen Wansan said.

The assets of the Shen family must be more than 3000 million taels of silver, but if he is asked to generate a cash flow of 3000 million taels of silver at once, it is really impossible for him to do so.

"How long will it take?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Shen Wansan and asked.

Shen Wansan gritted his teeth and replied: "Your Majesty, when the common people return to Suzhou, the Shen family will directly deliver 500 million taels of silver within three days. The remaining [-] taels of silver will be raised by the common people, and I guarantee that it will be delivered within three days." Within a month, all orders will be delivered.”

"Okay, then let's wait for the good news from Member Shen." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with today's talks.

The problem that had been bothering him was solved so easily. As expected of Yang Xian, he could always come up with a solution.

Zhu Yuanzhang sometimes wanted to open Yang Xian's head and see what was in his mind, and how he understood and knew everything.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in such a good mood that he even stayed with Shen Wansan for a meal in the palace.

But for Shen Wansan, this meal was a bit expensive.

While eating, Shen Wansan's mind was completely gone. All he could think about was which properties of the Shen family could be sold off.

Compared with Shen Wan, who was just chewing the cake, Zhu Yuanzhang enjoyed it very much.

It had been some days since his appetite had been so good.

Beijing.

Mingji Trading Company.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Wang Yuemin had a puzzled look on his face.

This author who wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was too strange. Wang Yuemin followed Yang Xian's suggestion and originally wanted to pay a lot of money to let him come to the capital directly.

But it was really difficult to contact him. I sent letters several times but got no reply.

In the end, Wang Yuemin simply asked his men to go to Hangzhou and look for him according to the address where the money was sent. But when the people from Mingji Trading Company arrived, they found that the building was already empty.

I asked the surrounding neighbors, but they all didn't know where they were.

It was as if he was avoiding them on purpose.

I'm afraid this guy is stupid because he writes novels. He doesn't make money even if he has money. We are here to give him money, not to harm him.

On the other side, after Luo Guanzhong read the letter from Mingji Shuxing Wang Yuemin, his first reaction was that the other party wanted to kill him!
He had written some story novels before, so he naturally knew how much his novels were worth. If he could sell them for dozens of taels, he would burn incense and worship Buddha.

Now Mingji actually asked for 1000 taels of silver!

Moreover, he was required to go directly to the Beijing Noodle Hall, which would make Luo Guanzhong suspicious.

In his opinion, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and it is more important to save his life.

Therefore, the day after receiving Wang Yuemin's letter, he moved directly from where he lived.
