Chapter 607 Mortgage Borrowing
Changsun Rong and Wu Shizhen came to look for Abdul again, but the pig actually said that he was sick, and only Adu came out to receive him.Chang Sunrong gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.A phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken, and today's grandson Rong can only endure being neglected by a beard.

"I don't know what's going on when the Duke and the eldest grandson come to visit in the middle of the night?" Adu still had a warm smile on his face.

"Mr. Adu, there are some problems with the turnover of the old man and the eldest grandson. Can you borrow 20 yuan for the time being to solve the urgent need. If the sir can help the old man get through this, the old man will never forget it. From now on, the boundary of Yangzhou will be established. Any benefit, as long as the master says it will belong to the master." Wu Shiyi knew that this beard is the master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle.It's hard to talk about empty teeth, so I simply started to make a wish.

"20 guan...! My lord, do you think we will take a boatload of money all over the world when we go out? This time we just want to buy some silk and satin, and then return to Guangzhou to go overseas. With some money, They are all in stock too. If it wasn’t for the 80 guan that you borrowed, we would have returned to Guangzhou now. The 20 guan……the villain can’t do anything.”

Wu Shixuan didn't believe a single word that Adu said.Who doesn't know, these beards are now doing business with the bank's exchange.There is no need to carry money with you at all, if you are not afraid of causing trouble through the bank.The 80 yuan should also go to the bank.

It must be because of today's events that made these beards suspicious. Whether they can collect debts now is due to the fact that they are the governor of Yangzhou.

"Mr. Adu, this time is really in a hurry. We don't want much, just a turnover of 20 coins. Three days, as long as three days are guaranteed, you will be paid back with interest, what do you think?" I can't hold it anymore, if I can't find money today, I will be finished tomorrow.

"With interest? The interest is...!" As soon as Adu heard that there was interest, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Three cents interest, daily interest rate!" Seeing Adu's expression, Chang Sunrong hated him.These beards are his mother's eye for money, seeing money is like seeing his own father, his mother's beards are all virtuous.

"Interest can be considered, but there is really no cash right now. If you want money, you have to wait until the bank opens tomorrow." Adu said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, tomorrow I will send troops to protect Mr. Adu and go to the bank to withdraw money." Wu Shixuan saw Adu loose mouth and said hastily.

"Uh...! My lord, the villain is just a manager. You still have to obey the master's orders to do things. 20 yuan is not a small amount. I don't know what kind of mortgage the lord will take?" Adu saw Wu Shizhen and wanted to send troops to withdraw the money , shook his head quickly.Take the money before the terms are negotiated?
"Is it feasible for me to take the other courtyard as a mortgage?" Chang Sunrong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"My grandson, we are foreigners but we have seen it. This evening, your other courtyard was burned by rioters. This...isn't it difficult for the strong!" Adu said a little embarrassed.

Wu Shiyi wanted to speak, but he held back.In any case, the Governor's Mansion cannot be mortgaged.It was the official residence, and he could live in it without ownership.The only real estate title deeds that can be taken out now are in Chang'an.It is estimated that people have no intention of buying it!
Changsun Rong also looked helpless, he had no property in Yangzhou.Now that he was burned like this, he had to borrow to live in Wu Shiyi's Governor's Mansion.Where can he get anything or money as collateral.

There was silence in the hall, Chang Sunrong and Wu Shixuan could only drink tea to demonstrate their embarrassment.There is no collateral for borrowing money. If it was someone else, he would have been thrown out as a liar.

"How about we take the silk as a mortgage? I can take silk worth 20 guan, it's okay!" After a long time, Changsun Rong suddenly raised his head and said.He has nothing else now, but he has a lot of silk.Not to mention far away, there are nearly 50 strings of silk in the warehouse in Yangzhou.They are all collected from around Yangzhou and have not had time to deliver the silk.

"Silk...! Mr. grandson, we heard that this thing is very profitable. But we have never done this kind of business. You use this thing as a mortgage. In case... the villain said it was in case, you still don't want to pay us. Didn’t it hit your hand? See if you have anything else as collateral!” Adu said with a troubled expression on his face.

"You...!" Changsun Rong was trembling with anger, when had he ever talked to a barbarian like this.But now it happens that it is not easy for him to ask for help, so he can only bear it.With a knife on the head of the word forbearance, this feeling is really fucking uncomfortable.

"The silk in our hands is worth about 50 guan, and it is mortgaged to you. We only borrow 20 guan, and the interest is three cents a day. What do you think?" Seeing that Chang Sun Rong did not speak, Wu Shixuan said helplessly.

"Ying Guogong...!" Changsun Rong stood up all at once, but was stopped by Wu Shizhen's gesture.Reluctantly, he sat down on the chair, really being bullied by dogs.When I get over my breath, I must make this Adu look good, by the way, and that fat pig.

"Well...! My lord, you are embarrassing the villain. But seeing that you are so sincere, I will report to my master." Adu stood up, gave a salute, and then walked out.

"50 guan silk, but only borrow 20 guan, this...!"

"My grandson, if you have a way to get the money, you can just let it go as soon as the old man said." Wu Shiyi closed his eyes and rested, this day can be regarded as exhausting his efforts.

"This...!" Chang Sun Rong was so choked that he could only sit down angrily.

"You two gentlemen, my master said it. Since the two noblemen are in trouble, he will definitely help you as a friend. The conditions will be handled according to the two of you. Here is a contract, please sign it! Old rules, my lord We need to use the assassin's seal. This way, everyone can rest assured." As soon as Adu finished speaking, a servant brought up a contract.He also thoughtfully brought ink pads and pens and ink, saying that he had just gone to ask Abdul for instructions, but Chang Sun Rong didn't believe it when he was beaten to death.This guy must have gone to draw up a contract, this beard's heart is fucking black.

"Huh!" Wu Shiyi snorted, and took out his own governor's print from his arms.I knew that Adu would have this request, and the printout should be carried with me.

Seeing that Wu Shiyi had used the seal, Changsun Rong had no choice but to use the seal.But he found that there was no seal of Abdul on it.

"Your master doesn't need a seal?" Chang Sun Rong said coldly.

"My master naturally respects the two nobles, and he dares to use the seals when the two nobles run out of seals. You don't have to worry!" Adu's face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Hmph!" Chang Sunrong and Wu Shiyu snorted in unison, it didn't matter whether they needed seals or not.After passing this level, we must take care of this bastard.Let you be arrogant for a few days first, this is Datang Yangzhou, I am not afraid of your refusal.

"Tomorrow morning, the old man will send troops to protect Mr. to withdraw money from the bank." Wu Shixuan dropped a sentence, turned around and walked out.As for Changsun Rong, he didn't say a word.

"Congratulations to the two nobles!" Adu looked at the backs of the two with a sinister smile on his face.

Early the next morning, Wu Shixuan sent 300 of his own soldiers to take Adu to the bank.The bank did not embarrass Adu, and immediately cashed 20 copper coins.When the soldiers escorted the money to the gate of the governor's mansion, there were already a sea of ​​people.The shouts of paying back the money and asking the governor to make the decision soared into the sky, and could be heard clearly two miles away.

Although Changsun Rong's other courtyard was looted yesterday, the gains were small after all.Most of the silkworm farmers didn't get the money, and they didn't know who led it early this morning, so they flocked to the gate of the governor's mansion.The silkworm farmers and silkworm merchants held up their IOUs, and asked the governor to make the decision for them.At this time, Wu Shixuan was like an ant on a hot pot, circling back and forth in the lobby.

"My lord, the money has arrived. 20 yuan!" Wu Fu, the steward, ran in and reported excitedly.

"Go to Changsun Rong and ask his people to preside over the distribution of money. You also watch from the side, so there must be no more accidents." Wu Shizhen let out a long sigh of relief, and finally got the money.Tonight, let the guards dispatch to catch a few people.Anyone who wants to be perfunctory will break their legs.Damn, dare to riot.If the imperial court knew about this, it would be considered a failure in this year's evaluation.

After calculation, 20 yuan is enough to pay the silk money owed in the past two days.This is also the reason why Wu Shizhen and Changsun Rong proposed the figure of 20 guan.After all, borrowing requires interest.

But they were all wrong, after what happened yesterday.People in Yangzhou and the vicinity of Yangzhou are all rushing to Yangzhou, and those in the Wuzhong area are also here for a meal.Regardless of whether the money is due or not, silkworm farmers are holding up notes to deal with it.After what happened yesterday, they have lost trust in Changsun Rong's reputation.

Of course, there are also those who speak for Changsun Rong, "Look at the pile of copper coins like a mountain, who said that Mr. Changsun has no money, and spread rumors!"

"Yes! Yes! You don't have to squeeze, you can get so much money."

Many of the silkworm farmers who have not yet expired feel that it is not in compliance with the rules to come out and make trouble before the due date.After all, in Datang, reputation is still very important.The eldest grandson is a relative of the emperor, so he shouldn't cheat himself of these hardships haha.

Before they could say a few words, someone came out to refute. "You are all stupid. Whoever can get the money will copy it. You didn't see it, but I can see it clearly. The money was drawn from the bank with bearded soldiers. The money, I’m afraid it’s all borrowed by Young Master Changsun from Huzi. If you can get it, get it quickly, if you can’t get it... Hey! Hey!"

With their sneers, those hesitant silkworm farmers joined the team again, ready to receive their own money.

PS: Regarding the issue of eating steamed suckling pig with mustaches in the previous chapters, the popularity of Mao Zedong Thought during the Tang Dynasty was not as popular as it is today.Not all beards believe in Christianity.
