Chapter 380 Leverage

Che Jiuming said, "Then I can use grain as collateral, right? Don't tell me that the 800,000 shi of grain in my hand is not worth 1 million taels of silver?"

Liu Dazhanggui replied tactfully, "The grain price is chaotic now, and we can't tell where it will end up, so we can't accurately estimate the value of the grain in your hand."

In fact, what this means is that the grain in his hand is not enough to borrow 1 million taels of silver from the bank.

Che Jiuming laughed angrily, "It's hard to estimate? Is the grain worthless? No matter what, my 800,000 shi of grain is worth 1.8 million taels of silver at the bottom."

"Please drink a cup of tea to calm down, and let us discuss it here."

Che Jiuming hummed. He wanted to leave, but he also knew that at this critical juncture, it was not the time to be willful.

In the end, Liu's Bank finally agreed to lend Che Jiuming 800,000 taels of silver, but he needed to use the grain in his hand as collateral.

After thinking about it, Che Jiuming agreed.

The two parties drafted a contract.

When signing the contract, Liu, the chief shopkeeper, reminded Che Jiuming, "Chairman Che, if the grain price goes down in the future, the grain in your hands will depreciate. If the total value is less than 800,000 taels, we have the right to forcibly confiscate and sell the collateral."

Shopkeeper Liu felt it necessary to make this clear to him.

Che Jiuming: "You're so long-winded!"

After Che Jiuming signed, Liu's bank began to lend money. His men soon came to transport the silver away, and after that, Che Jiuming also left Liu's bank.

What Che Jiuming didn't know was that half an hour later, Liu Yanqing, the chief shopkeeper, took the contract they signed to Luoyang next door.

When the distinguished guest came, Ji Wuyin naturally had to entertain him with good tea.

Everyone opened a bank, and Nanyang and Nandi were not far away. Ji and Liu had a long-standing friendship. It's just that Xuchang in Yuzhou is Liu's home ground.

"Old Ji, you are awesome." Liu Yanqing gave him a thumbs up. Ji Wuyin really managed to anticipate the enemy.

Before Che Jiuming went to Liu's bank to borrow money again, Ji Wuyin had already said hello to Liu Yanqing.

Ji Wuyin told Liu Yanqing to let Liu's bank lend money to Che Jiuming, but he needed to mortgage grain.

This money belonged to Ji. After the matter was over, Ji Wuyin promised to give Liu's bank 100,000 taels and complete the delivery within two months.

Ji Wuyin did this just by borrowing the name of Liu's bank. And their Liu's bank easily got 100,000 taels.

Liu's bank was naturally willing to do so. In business, why wouldn't they make money?

Ji Wuyin smiled but said nothing. It was not that he was awesome, but that Madam Qin Liu was awesome.

These plans and predictions were all made by Madam Qin Liu. He just executed and improved them.

But it is undeniable that this business war has inspired him a lot, and he has learned a lot from it.

Presumably, after the Nanyang incident is over, he will have a more thorough understanding of the business of buying and selling.

Lu Songli had indeed anticipated this. In the future, this move is equivalent to leveraging Che Jiu Ming's financing.

Looking at Ji Wuyin's confident look, Liu Yanqing mourned for Che Jiu Ming in his heart. The two armies were facing each other, and it was obvious that Ji Wuyin was more skilled.

He knew a little inside information. The reason why Che Jiu Ming was so desperate was that he really wanted to make a big profit. In addition, he also wanted to use this opportunity to establish a relationship with Chang'an.

But now it is obvious that Che Jiu Ming is going to be cheated to death.

Liaoxi County, Yi County

"Mr. Xue, what should we do?" Yue Shu asked.

Ning Changge, who was a scholar next to him, was also very angry, mainly because the behavior of Lu Yiliang, the county governor, was too unreasonable!

I heard that if Yixian County went to Beizhen, they would be able to enter the territory of Liaodong County, which means that they were only one county away from Liaodong County. Unexpectedly, they were stopped outside their homes.

"Don't worry, let's wait here first. I have sent the news back. Our county governor will come forward to deal with it. He should be on his way."

Xue Xu glanced at the officers and soldiers surrounding them, and then thought about the 7,000 people trained by Qin Sheng.

If they really rushed, Lu Yiliang's small body might not be able to resist.

When he thought of this, he was happy.

Yue Shu nodded.

"Let everyone rest on the spot first, eat, drink, rest, and get up." Xue Xu retracted his gaze. They just didn't want the situation to escalate, but they were not afraid of him, Lu Yiliang.

"Okay!"

After the order of "resting on the spot" was given, more than 20,000 people began to work together skillfully, and the scene was very spectacular.

There were many people watching. They pointed at the grain carts piled in the middle of the army and asked, "What is that?"

"Grain."

"So much grain? I'm afraid there are 20,000 stones?"

"Well, I heard that it was brought back from the south. It is said that there were 100,000 stones at the beginning, but now there are only this much left."

"The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is really capable."

"They actually ate 80,000 stones on the road? The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is really willing to spend money."

"The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has always been generous."

The common people have rarely seen so much food. Seeing so much food, they all have an impulse in their hearts to move to Liaodong County.

When more than 20,000 people were full, the officers and soldiers of Liaoxi County walked towards them and said to the victims in the south, "Everyone, you have come to Pingzhou from thousands of miles away. You have worked hard. Let's go and take you to settle down."

Xue Xu raised his eyebrows. Is this fox tail exposed?

But after the officers and soldiers finished speaking, no one in the army moved.

"Do you mean we can leave?" The people on their side asked bluntly.

The officer and soldier leader tried to put on a smile, "In fact, our Liaoxi County is not bad."

"We came all the way from the south to see the Liaodong Academy. What do you mean by blocking the road and not letting us pass?" Ning Changge asked with a stern face, and the bookish air all over his body made people dare not despise him.

The officer and soldier leader was speechless.

But the disaster victims in the south would not let him go. One by one, they surrounded him and asked naively, "You said your Liaoxi County is good, then do you have affordable food here?"

"Is there cheap and easy-to-use soap?"

"Is there an irregular supply of affordable meat and eggs?"

"Are there as many jobs in Liaoxi County as in Liaodong County?"

"Most importantly, is there a kang? We southerners are afraid of the cold."

Being questioned by so many people, the officer and soldier leader hesitated and shouted in his heart, Sir, who are you provoking!

Someone grumbled, "Look, you have nothing in Liaoxi County, and you want to force us to stay and suffer with you?"

On the way, people from Liaodong Chamber of Commerce would tell them about the lives of ordinary people in Liaodong County from time to time, which made them yearn for Liaodong County.

If Liaoxi County hadn't stopped them, they wouldn't have felt anything, they could go or not, stay or not.

But Liaoxi County did this, and their rebelliousness immediately came up. They are all Dali land, they are all Dali people, why not let them go?
