Chapter 264: ransom money

  Chapter 264 Redemption Silver

  When Huo Xi and Zhu Ji came out of Wanxiang Building and arrived at the small courtyard that Huo Xi had rented for him, they were greatly relieved.

  Holding on the courtyard wall for a long time, he didn't recover.

  Look at each other, is it done?

   This is it?

   "Boss, hurry up, let me see the contract he signed."

  In order to prevent Wu Youcai from recovering and repenting, Huo Xi asked him to sign a contract, what kind of goods, what quantity, and what kind of goods to exchange. He also told Wu Youcai that this was the rule of the thirty-six lines, in order to avoid the cunning of other people, and to prevent him from changing his mind and selling more than one product.

  Wu Youcai immediately signed without any hesitation.

  If the Japanese businessman repents, he can get a thousand taels of compensation from the other party if he doesn't do anything anyway.

  Of course, if he repents, he will also pay the other party one thousand taels. It's just that Wu Youcai felt that it was impossible for him to go back on his word. And after Huo Xi left, he asked Pingniang to call the dancer Le Niang to play and sing for fun.

   After reading the deed, Zhu Ji felt relieved: "Don't worry about him not making a deal now. If he repents, he will have to pay us one thousand taels. We have nothing to lose."

  Just finished being happy, and worried: "What if he doesn't perform the contract? He is an official and we are citizens, so we can't sue him."

"He won't pay us for 1,000 taels of sucrose, and 10,000 jin of sucrose is only more than 300 taels of silver. If we poke Shibosi, he won't be far behind. He won't be willing to throw away this fat job gone."

   "That's good. But my boss, why don't we cheat him more, it's only a few hundred taels of silver."

  Huo Xi smiled at him: "For some reason, the shopkeeper who was smoldering and heavy was tricked into taking it away, and left it in our hands until it was hot. Besides, I still have great use for this sucrose."

  Exchanging 10,000 catties of flame nitrate for 10,000 catties of sucrose only made a little more than one hundred taels. Instead, he used two hundred high imitation Japanese fans to earn him a hundred catties of raw silk.

   A catty of raw silk sells for half a tael of silver, and this time I can get two hundred taels.

   But for Huo Xi, she sold Yan Nitrate, and easily got ten thousand catties of sucrose. The important thing is... Huo Xi raised the deed paper in her hand, and she got Wu Youcai's handle.

  If you want to destroy it, you must make it crazy. First send him to the top, and then withdraw his ladder, causing him to fall to pieces. It depends on whether Wu Shi is saved or not, and whether she fits into the set.

  My mother lives in the cold and damp underground and can’t rest in peace. You have a high bed and soft pillows, and your servants call your servants.

  How can it work!

  Huo Xi turned to Zhu Ji and said, "When the matter is over, I will send you to the management shop in Beiping."

   "Yes, listen to the boss."

  Huo Xi talked to him a few more words, then left the small rented courtyard, turned to look for Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong, and ordered them to prepare chariots and horses, and load the goods out of the warehouse. For one hundred stones of salt, Huo Xi still kept two thousand catties, which was not finished yet.

   After giving her orders, she thought about what the violin said in a low voice when she was sent out, that Pingniang would be waiting for her at Huixianlou at mid-morning the next morning.

   This Pingniang was present the whole time today, and helped to say a few words, Huo Xi was grateful. I just don't know what to do with her tomorrow.

   On the other side, Mu Yan heard Gan San's report and couldn't recover for a long time.

   Li Yi and Kan Er were so shocked that their eyeballs almost hit the ground.

   "Well, how did Miss Huo come up with this idea? She pretended to be a Japanese businessman, and colluded with the officials of the Shipping Department to sell it privately?" Kan Er almost had a new understanding of Huo Xi.

   "And she managed to get things done." Li Yi also admired her.

   "Is that Japanese businessman hers?" Mu Yan also couldn't find his voice.

   Gansan nodded: "Yes. She was her grandfather's former steward."

   Absolutely.

   "Her grandfather, the steward, still knows Japanese?"

   Gan San shook his head: "It's not a Japanese dialect, it sounds like a southern dialect."

   "She speaks Fanyu, and the manager speaks the dialect of the south?" Kan Er's eyes widened.

"yes."

   "Hahaha, it's so funny. Then Wu Youcai couldn't hear it. Hahaha..." Kan Er laughed until he fell down.

   "Can you hear that?" Mu Yan glanced at him lightly.

  Uh...Kan Er shook his head, but he couldn't tell.

   "Absolutely! Young master, how did Miss Huo come up with this idea? It's pretty exhaustive."

   Li Yi is so admired, how old is this little lady? Just came up with such a comprehensive method. He thought that Wu Youcai was just caught in the basket again.

   "Anyone who doesn't understand Wu Youcai's personality will not be able to do this. She has grasped Wu Youcai's lifeblood." Mu Yan smiled.

   "What lifeblood?"

   "Naturally, I want to get promoted and get rich. I want to increase my position and become a noble." Li Yi gave Kan Er a look.

   "Then Wu is so talented, because he still wants to be promoted to a noble?" Kan Er was a little puzzled.

"If he really has countless silver, what's wrong with exchanging silver for a title? There are such precedents in the past dynasties. Whenever there is a catastrophe, who is willing to give a large amount of money to relieve the victims and relieve the court's difficulties, he will be awarded a title. It's nothing special." Li Yi explained lightly.

  Mu Yan was silent, and ordered Gan San to continue to follow Huo Xi, then waved him away. Turning around, he said to Li Yikaner: "Let's go to Huixian Tower to meet her in the future."

   Another day passed, and when the appointed day came, Huo Xiyi arrived at the Huixian Tower in the middle of the hour.

  In the elegant room, Pingniang arrived early, she was the only one, and she put the veiled hat on the table.

   "The benefactor is here?" Seeing Huo Xi appear, Pingniang got up and greeted her with a smile.

  Huo Xi nodded to her, walked in, and closed the door at the same time.

   "Why did you come to me?" Sit down opposite her.

  Pingniang smiled at her, and pushed a box on the table towards Huo Xi: "Look, benefactor."

  Huo Xi suspiciously pulled the box in front of him and opened it, and was stunned.

  A box full of banknotes!

   "What are you?" She looked puzzled.

   "I heard the deal between my benefactor and Wu Youcai the day before yesterday, and I admire my benefactor very much. I would like to follow my benefactor."

   "Follow me?" What does that say? How does she, a flower girl, follow her? She has no money to redeem her.

Pingniang smiled and explained to Huo Xi: "I see that my benefactor is doing great things. Although he is young, he has a deep gap in his chest. These are all my net worth, and I would like to entrust my benefactor to take care of them. You don't need to give me much bonus, I only hope that one day, when I come out from there, the money will still be there, so that I can rely on it."

  Huo Xi was heartbroken by what she said.

  Pingniang is afraid that the money in her hand will not be kept in that building, right?

  I also want to find a thigh hug like her. I don't know who to entrust. She doesn't ask for annual dividends, but only asks that the money will still be there when she wants to use it in the future.

   "Why don't you use this as a ransom?"

Pingniang smiled wryly: "It's not easy. Now that I'm in my prime, the building won't let me redeem me. Besides, even if I redeem myself, I'm helpless, how can I save my life? With money, it's just attracting others to covet me. Even if there is The benefactor is willing to redeem me for me, but it is nothing more than being a concubine for others. It is better to be comfortable in the building."

  Huo Xi was silent for a long time.

   sighed: "Since you trust me, I will keep it for you. If you want to use it in the future, you will return it intact."

Pingniang shook her head: "There are five thousand taels in here, and it's useless to keep it. The benefactor is a big deal, so feel free to use it as the capital of the business. It's also my humble contribution to the benefactor. .”

   "Since you believe in me, I will not let you suffer. If I use it as capital, I will give you a profit, and I will also buy you a piece of land, so that you can have something to eat in the future."

"Thank you benefactor for making plans for Pingniang. Pingniang has nothing to repay and is willing to be driven by her benefactor. Don't worry about Wu Youcai's benefactor. I will help beat the side drums to make this happen. If benefactor has any plans in the future, he can come to Pingniang as much as possible." mother."

  After Pingniang left, Huo Xi looked at the box for a long time without regaining consciousness.

  Until he was numb, and just about to get up and leave, he saw Mu Yan walking in with Li Yikaner.
