Chapter 642: There is another way to raise money

The inner courtyard's words made Li Longji give up temporarily and let Zhang Xiaobao think about the idea of ​​helping others build a house and road construction plan, and called on the inner courtyard that he turned around and wanted to return to.

"How much does Xiaobei need?"

"I don't know how much it costs. The young master and the young lady want to borrow three million guan. All of their things are added together, and the normal estimate is about six million guan. Due to the added value of jewelry processing technology and the uncertainty of the brand of the baby candy house, it can be borrowed at most half of the total value, three million guan."

The inner courtyard replied that when Xiaobei and others talked about Xiaoyan, a doting smile appeared on the inner courtyard's face.

Li Longji waved his hand and retreated from the inner courtyard.

"Xiaobao, send a newspaper to ask Xiaobei to see what they are going to do?" Li Longji became interested and urged.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head: "No, since they don't care about the money they want from their families, it means they want to do things based on their own abilities. It is normal for Datang Money Bank to reject their loan application. See what else they can come up with."

"If possible, I want to give them three million guan, just a little money. It's hard for Xiaobei and the others to be able to use their own things to mortgage them."

Li Longji looked heartbroken, and the words "Three Million Pen" were so casual. Ten years ago, he definitely didn't have such confidence.

"Xiao Bei and the others can't ask for our money. They finally went out once and were free. If they wanted to do things, let them try it. At worst, they could do it badly and lose some money. For them, it is the most important thing to get the harvest of life from it."

While talking, Zhang Xiaobao had already put red charcoal on the grill, and the outside was still misty and rain. The contrast between the two hatchbacks made it look very comfortable under the umbrella.

Li Longji smiled and shook his head, picked up a bamboo stick and cut open the belly of a fresh prawn, took out the internal organs, put them on, put them on the rack, and then put them on the other one, saying, "In recent years, I have only lived a relatively happy life. I used to have a scheming with my ministers, and the palace was not stable.

There are also neighboring countries and foreign ethnic groups in the north of Hebei Road. The only thing that can be said to be better is the national treasury, which is abundant. If it weren't for knowing the lives of the people now and the description of the future situation between you and Juanjuan to me, I would have thought that the people of the Tang Dynasty were already very good.

Thanks to you and Juanjuan, with your power, I don’t have to worry about my ministers being ill-intentioned. I can’t forgive them for being in trouble. So life is about enjoyment, not distress. From the people, to the emperor, who has no worries? I think about it all day long and I will not live anymore."

Zhang Xiaobao pinched the brush on his hand and brushed salt water on the shrimp. This is how fresh shrimps should be eaten. If Li Longji had not had to brush even salt water.

After hearing Li Longji's feelings, his hands kept moving, and he said: "No one in power can solve all the troubles of the people under his rule, but at least they must make the people not worry about survival. Even if they succeed, it will be difficult anyway."

"Yes, it's difficult, no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it. Xiaobao, where did I say just now?" Li Longji nodded slightly, flipped the bamboo stick in his hand, and suddenly asked.

"Say life is very good."

"Not this, before."

"Give Xiaobei money."

"Before now."

"Let me eat."

“Further back.”

"Give Xiaobei and the others money."

"Eat shrimp. I'll make some expressions when I cook it with you, right?"

"Yes, thank you for your Majesty, I am grateful."

“Show loyalty.”

"I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty and can be seen by the sun and the moon, and I would rather protect Your Majesty's safety."

"Next time I put me in front of you, you won't say that you will go through fire and water?"

"I'll repair the house for me after I told you."

"Okay, drinking, it's really like the rain outside the umbrella and the water is gurgling. The grill is baked with shrimps and glasses of wine. The boats, bridges, cars and horses are all things in the world, and people's livelihood is like a heart of a furnace." Li Longji raised his glass.

"Do it!" Zhang Xiaobao raised his head and drank it all, grabbed the bottle and poured a cup for Li Longji and himself, and raised his glass: "Do you have a cup, the geese fly south and return, and another cup, the people's family affairs will be their own. The superiors should do the superiors, and who should they know how to repair bridges and roads?"

"Ha! Have you told me a big reason? You are a superior person and don't want to do small things. So who do you know to? Tell me and tell me who will do it?"

Li Longji looked at Zhang Xiaobao and took the shrimp handed over by Zhang Xiaobao, took a bite, nodded, indicating that it was good, and then drank a glass of wine together, saying, "Turn the rice wine, I see you and Juanjuan drink wine, not one cup, but now I keep toasting, it's awkward."

Zhang Xiaobao turned his head and shouted "Buy wine" to the inner courtyard more than ten steps away. He turned around and picked up a shrimp, took a small bite, chewed it slowly, and said to Li Longji:

"We said some time ago that we should make local wealthy families and gentry qualified to participate in local administrative proposals, and then select them at all levels, and finally come to the capital. Why not let them do it?"

"Yes, I forgot it. After eating, I will issue an order immediately. It was difficult for you before. It was not easy for your family to get a deal to the county. How can I pay attention to the matters of the households in the village? Local affairs are handled by the local government, and then reported to the county government for review. Only then can your family use their superiors and help them to verify secretly."

Li Longji slapped his hands and looked very happy. He took out the live shrimp and continued to process it.

Zhang Xiaobao curled his lips, picked up the charcoal clip, and scraped the white charcoal ash on the charcoal surface. If he knew that he would not say something, Li Longji would definitely not stop harassing him. Is it easy to have a meal with a prince who is looking for trouble all day?

"Xiaobao, you said, is it easy for me to have a meal with you? I have to work for you at the risk of wind and cold. I just want to make you happy and let me have a walk with me more. When we come back, we will all take the land route. How about it?"

Before Zhang Xiaobao could say his complaints, Li Longji complained first.

Zhang Xiaobao was so scared that his hands could not move after being moved by Li Longji's words. He felt the temperature of the charcoal fire, and then he suddenly withdrew his hand. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, if you dare to leave, I dare to accompany you. Go from Jiangnan West Road to Luzhou by land. You will know what's going on."

"Then let's try." Li Longji said with little confidence.

At this time, the inner courtyard had already put the red mud stove over, and there was a wine jar with mud seals on it. The wine inside was naturally Shaoxing rice wine. It was not bought, but was given by merchants who cooperated with Zhang and Wang's family. A lot of it was given every year.

Zhang Xiaobao prefers to drink wine, but he almost drinks rice wine occasionally, and most of them are used to cook. The people have hidden it in the cellar, and he splashed it into the pot with spoonfuls.

Wine is wine, simple wine, even if it is boiled, it doesn’t add anything else. Just like tea, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not used to adding ginger, sugar, and salt to it.

Li Longji looked at Zhang Xiaobao fiddling with Xiaolu and wine, and suddenly said, "If I had known I would eat shrimp, I would have let you make drunk shrimp. Now... it's too late."

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, boiled the wine, and said, "I will catch two fish in a while, and when the boats gathered in the afternoon, they will set off quickly."

*******

In the cabin, Wang Juan accompanied Concubine Wu Hui and Queen Wang to talk.

Concubine Wu Hui asked Wang Juan more about where the business shops in her family were, how to arrange the staff, and what happened in the process of improving the system. She planned to develop in this direction.

Queen Wang was talking about the child, asking where Xiaobei and others had been recently and whether there was any news about her son and daughter.

Wang Juan responded freely, saying that she could still bring her children's affairs together when she was trading. The three of them had a great time talking.

Similarly, Wang Juan also received news from her home that Xiao Bei and others were rejected for their loan.

"The manager of Datang Money House is too abominable. Can Xiaobei still rely on their accounts? Let Xiaobao clean up people. Not to mention three million yuan of things, they are asking for 30 million yuan, and how many people are rushing to buy them."

Queen Wang was dissatisfied when she heard the news and reiterated the injustice for Xiaobei and others.

Wu Huifei agreed with the money shop's approach and said, "Sister, don't blame the local money shop for managers. No rules can make a circumstance. Today I agreed to Xiaobei and the others' loan. Tomorrow, other children stole the things from the house and exchanged them for money. Will they give it?"

"Xiao Bei and the others are different from other children, Juanjuan, what do you think Xiao Bei and the others want money to do?" Queen Wang suddenly thought of this question. Three million coins are not a small amount.

Wang Juan shook his head: "I don't know. Since my younger brother and sister don't care about the money at home, they naturally have their own plans. Let them go. The family raises children. When it's time to let go, you have to let go. If you do the right thing, the credit is the child. If you do it wrong, it is the cost of the family's training.

This is the difference between children from ordinary families and children from ordinary families. Children from aristocratic families have enough resources for them to try. As long as they are not too stupid, they will often be very far away from children from ordinary people's families."

Queen Wang and Concubine Wu Hui nodded, and immediately shook their heads at the same time.

Concubine Wu Hui said, "It depends on who to compare with you and Xiaobao. The children of aristocratic families will also be overshadowed. You have learned too much."

"This is the power of education. Its purpose is to allow a small number of ordinary children to narrow the distance with the children of aristocratic families through hard work. Since there is not enough resources to gain experience through practical actions like other children of aristocratic families, then you can learn indirectly from the books."

Wang Juan mentioned the importance of education.

"Isn't that true? We should educate our children well. The children of our Tang Dynasty are better than those of other places. There are a few more people like Xiao Bei and the others. In the future, which country around us dares to dissatisfie?"

Queen Wang's words are still so aggressive.

"Little lady." The maid opened the hatch door from outside, stretched her head and whispered.

"What?" Wang Juan asked.

"There is news, Xiao Bei and others, they did not get a loan, and immediately contacted the branches of other major commercial banks in Xuzhou. So far, the information shows that they have reached an agreement with three major commercial banks. The three major commercial banks have temporarily agreed to support 5 million yuan in cash, and four other branches of other commercial banks are asking their owners for telegrams."

The maid answered.

Wang Juan was stunned, and after a few breaths, she laughed again: "Five million coins? Or for the time being? I am worthy of being Xiaobao and my younger brother and sister. It seems that I have made several preparations. With Xiaobao's demeanor, I have not gained a reputation."
