Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1151

This family with the surname Gao is considered to be somewhat predestined relationship with Wang Yan. The last time Wang Yan made a private visit, the fat man who jumped from the second floor sat at the next table and fooled his relatives from his hometown into Nanjing to hold a workshop.

This fat man is called Gao Yihuan, and he is the second child in the clan, so he is called Brother Gao.

Last time he invited the third uncle of his family to Nanjing and persuaded him to sell the land and set up a workshop in Nanjing. After all, his third uncle was too old to take such a big risk, and finally agreed to sell half of the land. He borrowed another 1000 taels from Wudehao before starting the workshop.

Gao Yihuan used to work in another company, and he had raw materials and shipping channels. After the workshop was established, he soon made profits, which greatly boosted his confidence, and he used the workshop as collateral to borrow another 3000 taels from Wudehao. , used to expand the scale of the workshop and purchase raw materials, making him a well-known figure in Nanjing Waiguo.

Relying on several empty gloves and white wolves, he took the money from his third uncle's family and Wudehao to establish Gaoshi Cotton Spinning. The workshop covers an area of ​​[-] mu and employs more than [-] people. Famous businessmen and many people from their hometowns came to join him, and he never refused to come. They were all arranged in workshops, and they had already left their original class.

It's just that the good times don't last long. With the development of the workshop, various troubles came one after another. First, the local gangsters and gangs in Nanjing targeted the workshop. He still has a solution.

As for the hooligans, he organizes hired workers to protect the workshop, directly beats those who come to make troubles, which can be said to be fierce, but for the rich and powerful, he donates a part of the bonus to curry favor, and when he finds a backer, the gangs and scoundrels in the city will not If he dared to pester him, the few scoundrels who threatened to burn his warehouse were all directly put into prison by Ying Tianfu's Chen Butou to quietly die.

In this way, although he was struggling, he started the workshop step by step. He just didn't want King Lu to rebel suddenly. After the rebel army came to the city, the army looted his warehouse, and even the workshop and the loom were destroyed. Not to mention beating him back to his original shape, he still owed a whole lot of debt.

As far as his ability is concerned, as long as there is capital injection, it is not a problem to start the workshop again, but in this world, there are more icing on the cake, and less carbon in the snow.

In particular, banks like Wudehao, which lend a wide range of loans, will not do such things as sending carbon in a hurry. In order to control risks and reduce bad debts, banks generally do not take too much risk in lending to others.

When Gao Yihuan's workshop was flourishing, Qian Zhuang wanted to send money to him for a loan, but once something happened to Gao Yihuan, Qian Zhuang immediately turned his back on him and frantically demanded debts from Gao Yihuan.

A bank with a strong background like the Wude Bank has both black and white methods of debt collection. When a piece of paper is sent to the yamen, the yamen servants dare not neglect, and immediately send people to seize all the assets such as Gao's cotton spinning warehouses and workshops. Gao Yihuan's chance to make a comeback was lost.

The bank first sealed off his assets to repay the debt, and then began to urge him to pay back the remaining money.

Gao Yihuan has a lot of means, and he is also smart. He has methods to deal with local ruffians and ordinary bureaucrats, but when facing the giant Wude, he has no way, because he has no connection with Wude at all. No. Dialogue Qualifications.

Gao Yihuan ran around on the roof and jumped into an alley. He finally got rid of the pursuit with his nose bruised and his face swollen.

He walked east and west in the alleys of the shanty town, and after making sure that no one was following him, he dodged into a narrow alley, opened the door and entered a house.

More than a dozen men in the room gathered together, as if they were having a family meeting, when they suddenly saw Gao Yihuan come in, one of the young men immediately stood up in surprise, and shouted urgently: "Second brother!"

This man's name is Gao Yizhen, and he is the fourth eldest child. Gao Yihuan nodded to him, but walked directly to an old man in the middle, and saluted, "Third Uncle!"

The people in this house came from their hometown to join Gao Yihuan. A few days ago, King Lu attacked Nanjing, and they were conscripted by the court to participate in the defense of the city. After King Lu's soldiers retreated, they were going back to work in the workshop. The damage was serious, and when they managed to clear a piece of land and prepare to start work again, the government closed the workshop.

The old man glanced at Gao Yihuan and nodded, but Gao Yizhen who was beside him hurriedly asked, "Second Brother, how are you doing? Can the workshop be kept?"

Gao Yihuan sighed and shook his head, "I asked several banks, because the workshop was mortgaged to Wudehao, and there was no new mortgage, and other banks were unwilling to lend us money. The workshop is over!"

When the men in the room heard this, they panicked. That was their job, "What should I do?"

During this period of time, the old man watched Gao Yihuan make the workshop bigger, but his understanding of him changed a little. He felt that this nephew was a capable person, and he was not as panicked as the younger generation, "What is Huan'er going to do? Uncle Listen to you this time!"

With bitterness on Gao Yihuan's face, he suddenly took out a stack of silver bills from his arms, "Uncle, here are 300 taels of bills, you take it and share one point with the clansmen who came with you, and paid out the two months' wages. Even if the nephew pays back third uncle you, the nephew knows that the money is far from enough, so don’t feel too little, if it is taken by the bank, it will be gone!"

The bank is in a hurry to chase the money. It is impossible to put the money at home. Moreover, he owes too much money. To the people who followed him.

"Second Brother, I don't blame you for what happened this time, you gave us the money, what are you going to do?" Gao Yizhen asked anxiously.

"Yes, second brother, why don't we flee back to our hometown, how about second brother take the money and make a comeback?" More than a dozen men were a little moved when they saw Gao Yihuan give them the money.

"This time, my heart was too big, the production expanded too fast, and I didn't leave enough money in my hands, so if something went wrong, the workshop collapsed immediately, and I can't blame anyone! If you want to blame, you can only blame this sudden rebellion!" Gao Yihuan added Sighing, "I can't go back to the village. It's not like you don't know the background of the Wude. I can't stay in Daming. I can only go to Nanyang, or go to Japan to mine!"

The influence of the Wudehao spread all over the territory of Ming Dynasty, he owed several thousand taels of silver, and when he left Nanjing, there were still people who made trouble for him, so he had no choice but to go to sea and run away.

Recalling that some time ago, he was still a hot new workshop owner in Nanjing, but he went bankrupt in a blink of an eye and was about to flee to Nanyang. Gao Yihuan and everyone felt a burst of embarrassment.

"What about the sister-in-law and niece?" If they went to Nanyang, they would be dead or alive, and they might not get news once in a year or two, and the bank might not let them go.

This is exactly what Gao Yihuan was worried about, but it was useless for him to stay, "Just now Zhao Wu ran to collect the debt again. I was afraid that they would snatch the 300 taels of silver, so he ran out in a hurry. How is it going!"

He paused for a while, "If it's okay, I'll take them to Luzon by boat tomorrow morning. I've made inquiries. Luzon is recruiting people to open up wasteland, and it is said that there are gold mines. We Only by going there as a family can we avoid the Wude Chamber of Commerce and start over."

"Second brother, you stay here, sister-in-law. I'll send someone to watch over there. If nothing happens, I'll ask sister-in-law to pack up and come over overnight!" Going to stare, he continued to ask: "Second brother, I heard that Luzon Island is deserted, and now it is the territory of the rebels. Can I really live there?"

Seeing that someone was going to help him watch the house, Gao Yihuan felt relieved, and thought deeply: "Actually, there are two ways. At the beginning of the year, the imperial court signed a treaty with Japan in the east. The imperial court obtained the mining right of a gold mine, and is currently recruiting people. I went to mine, and the wages were very high, but for me, I just went to be a miner and get some dead money, and I still feel a little bit unwilling!"

"Second brother is a person who does big things, so it's really not suitable to go to mine!" Many men echoed.

Gao Yihuan continued: "Going to Luzon is a better chance for me. Luzon is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the Zheng family is good at trade. They are short of talents in all aspects. I can open up wasteland first and gain a foothold when I go. Looking for opportunities to go overseas for trade is much better than digging mines for others."

"Second brother, if you go to Luzon, take me with you! Now that my family has no land and the workshop has closed down again, I am willing to go to Luzon with my second brother. Even if I can't develop, at least I can farm in Luzon!" The famous man said.

He used to be a tenant, but because the owner changed the land from renting out to tenants for planting, instead of directly hiring long-term workers, he had no land to farm, so he ran to Nanjing to join the sophomore year of high school.

When the second year of high school tricked Uncle Gao San to sell the field and set up a workshop in Nanjing, the fourth year of high school was more exciting than his father.

Now that the workshop has collapsed, and half of the family's fields have been sold, he has nothing to do when he returns home, so he came up with the idea of ​​going to Luzon with his second brother.

When Uncle Gao saw his son looking at him, he didn't stop him this time. Instead, he took out 300 taels out of the 200 taels and handed it to him, "It takes capital to do great things, so follow if you want, don't worry about your family!"
