Return of the Swallow

Chapter 198

When Qin Yining arrived in the side hall, the front of Zhong Da's shopkeeper was dignified and turned around. Seeing Qin Yining entering the door, he quickly greeted him and said anxiously: "My boss, the big business is not good."

"What's the matter? Sit down and speak slowly."

Qin Yining led the treasurer Zhong to sit down, and Song Lan left after serving tea to the two of them.

The shopkeeper Zhong didn't pay attention to etiquette, so he poured half of the bowl to moisten Run's throat, which was already eager to breathe fire.

"Over the past few days, more and more people are fleeing for their lives in the city. The people who previously mortgaged the property and asked us to borrow the house and ran away! I took people from house to house to find people. There is no one who is abiding by the rules, and only keeps looking at the house, and most of them have left us a letter and a title deed."

Qin Yining was stunned and took a stack of letter paper handed over by the shopkeeper Zhong Da and looked through it.

The meaning is the same-those people don’t care whether the money borrowed can be worth the price of the house and the storefront. Because of an emergency at home, or for various reasons, they rush to leave Kyoto, and the money they borrowed is Qin Yining. After buying their storefronts, which stores and properties belong to Qin Yining.

what is this?Strong buy and sell?

If in the peaceful era, where would you find such a good deal?Don't say that it is the dozen land deeds in his hand, which is one of them. Qin Yining would have to spend a lot of effort to get it off. According to the calculation method of the peace era, Qin Yining has taken a big advantage!

But the problem is that in this world, shop fronts are not worth any money!

Following the brutal behavior of the Tiger and Ben Army in Xihua City, it is difficult to guarantee that they will rush into Kyoto in the future. What if the city is broken, the Tiger and Ben Army will burn and looting in the city?

Shops and houses are all dead. These people flee for their lives with their families, and they can't take the house and land, but they can take away the money. They go to the new land and they can count on the money to support their families.

But what use is Qin Yining asking for so many dead objects in Kyoto?If you can't eat it, you can't use it. If a Dazhou person comes in, it burns and there is nothing.

It's no wonder that the shopkeeper Zhong became so anxious.

Qin Yining sighed faintly, "This is the way the world is, and it's useless to be anxious. If you think about it better, let's leave these shops and houses. If I had so many shops in the past, I would only rent them out. It will last a lifetime."

"The boss can still talk and laugh at this meeting." The shopkeeper Zhong sighed. "The boss hasn't been outside these days. Don't say that these businessmen have the foresight, and they chose to escape with the silver in advance. It is the ordinary people. They are all selling houses and land to go out. There are a lot of big villages in the suburbs, all of them are going out. But now in troubled times, who doesn't know how to save some money to escape? Who wants those crops that can't be eaten or used?"

The shopkeeper Zhong shook his head, pointing his hand in the direction of Da Zhou and cursed: "You said that those kings and balaos, why are they not keeping their promises, and they said good peace talks, and the peace agreement has been signed. Indemnity again, so that the people can live in peace for a few days, and now the money is also given to the land and the land is also compensated. They turn their faces and refuse to recognize people! Yes, our emperor is incompetent, but the emperor is incompetent, ordinary people. What's wrong? Right now ordinary people are selling land to flee for their lives. I think it will be a long time before they will become selling children, selling women and selling wives."

Qin Yining naturally knows what life the common people are living under the war. Not only are the enemy soldiers hateful, but those bandits who can’t eat and fall into the grass are even more hateful than the enemy troops. They burn and kill the rapes. They really scare people who don’t sleep. Dare to close her eyes, otherwise she would not hide in the mountains alone.

"Treasurer Zhong, now the world is so chaotic, can you arrange things at home?"

The treasurer Zhong nodded and said: "I have ordered my son to regress."

"That's good. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, it is not a bad thing to be prepared in advance. The shopkeeper Zhong should also go south to avoid the wind. If Kyoto City is intact, it is naturally good. You can always come back if you want. Come back. If there is anything, it can be avoided. Now the city has not reached the level of martial law, it is better to go quickly, if the Great Zhou is really coming down, it will not be so easy to escape. Zhong Da The shopkeeper is a wise man, and it's time to arrange family members."

The treasurer Zhong nodded and said with emotion: "It's rare that the boss is so kind. The old man has heard people say that the boss let go of the servants in the house and gave them money to let them escape. Now many people praise the Anping Hou Mansion. His benevolence is just that the emperor has eyes and no beads, so he treats Anpinghou like that."

Qin Yining waved his hand and said helplessly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all graces, and my father is dedicated to it, so naturally he has to bear it. I just don't want to involve innocent people. Since they have left, I don't have to force them. Stay. Now that Master Zhong’s house has been arranged, you should leave Kyoto with your children in due course. Master Zhong can begin to hand over the accounts to me during this period."

The treasurer Zhong Da just deliberately did not answer, just trying to avoid this question.

But Qin Yining cared about him wholeheartedly, so he had to look directly at the current situation.

"My boss, it's easy for me to go, but how about you?"

"Me?" Qin Yining smiled slightly: "I am the daughter of the Qin family, and the sky has fallen in the Great Yan Dynasty. I will stay in the city of Kyoto to advance and retreat with my father."

Qin Yining got up and paced to the back window, looking at the green grass and a small piece of lush woods outside the window, a few finches perched on it, chirping happily.

I wonder if I can see such a peaceful scenery in the future.

Thinking of the people in the city who were struggling and helpless, Qin Yining thought for a while, and said: "Big shopkeeper, I have one last thing to trouble you. If you make arrangements, you can leave Kyoto with your family."

The shopkeeper Zhong asked suspiciously: "What is the boss's order?"

"There should be surplus in my money, besides feeding the refugees in Ningyuan, right?"

The treasurer Zhong nodded and said: "The property that Mrs. Dingguo left to the owner was a huge amount. The owner only paid 10,000 taels. How much can it be used even if it is used hard."

"Well, it's fine if you have a surplus. Since the people in the city have sold land to flee for their lives, the treasurer Zhong will order to let people go quietly to buy those fields."

"What!" The treasurer Zhong stood up in astonishment, "My boss, the land they sell is the same as the houses left by the mortgage lenders, and they are of no use to you! Once the city is broken, the land will be. Wasteland, I don’t even know who owns the country at that time, let alone no one has cultivated the heavy fields! If the owner’s money is spent, it will be a waste!"

"I understand what the big shopkeeper said." Qin Yining turned around and said with a smile: "But I just don't want to make the Zhou Dynasty emperor cheaper."

The shopkeeper Zhong was stunned.

"If Dayan is defeated, the country is not the country, the home is not the home, don't say that my Zhaoyunsi, that is, the entire Qin family, the entire Yan Dynasty treasury, will fall into the hands of the Zhou Dynasty emperor. I said no to the national treasury. Forget it, the Qin family doesn't have much silver, and it's not my final decision, but even if I throw away my own silver, I don't want to make the Zhou Dynasty emperor cheaper!"

"The boss..." The shopkeeper Zhong suddenly felt hot in his eyes, his nose was sour, and tears almost came out.

"I will definitely not be able to run away. Once the country is truly subjugated, all my things will become Emperor Zhou's. Taking advantage of the silver is now under my control, it is better to let the common people run away. It is also used on the people of the Yan Dynasty. , It’s not a waste. Otherwise, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty will be cheaper in the future, then I really feel distressed.”

"The boss is Gaoyi." The treasurer Zhong held his hand in admiration, and for a moment, it seemed that he had firmed up some thoughts, "Well, since the boss has decided, I will leave this to me."

Qin Yining smiled and said: "You remember, this matter can't be publicized, it has to be arranged level by level, so that people can't find me."

"Why doesn't the owner take this opportunity to gain a reputation? You are really doing things for the people."

Qin Yining pointed to the top of his head and said with a smile: "Don't forget, the emperor has been staring at my Zhaoyunsi. If you tell him to know, and you don't grab it back in anger? Then nothing can be done. "

The treasurer Zhong Zhong thinks of Faint Jun, full of anger, but he is just a small commoner, and there is no other way. What he can do now is to let Qin Yining's silver be able to maximize the effect.

"Okay, don't worry, the owner, I must make the arrangements properly, even if we check it, we can't find it."

"There is a big shopkeeper. I think that this matter will be finished in about three or five days. When the money is spent, you give me the deed of house, land, and land, and you can leave with your family."

The shopkeeper Zhong looked at Qin Yining's sincere smiling face, only shook his head, bid farewell, and turned to leave.

Qin Yining watched the treasurer Zhong leave before returning to the fish pond to continue speaking with Qin Huaiyuan.

Five days have passed since then. Seeing that in the past July, there has been little rain this year, the weather is hot, the sun is getting more and more fierce, and the hot people's hearts are dull.

On this day, Qin Yining was about to take a nap with her arms around Erbai, Songlan quickly stepped through the door and whispered: "Girl, the treasurer Zhong is here."

Qin Yining was taken aback, and hurriedly got up, pulled her hair back down the stairs, and ran straight to the front yard side hall.

The shopkeeper Zhong still had sweat on his forehead and his face was greasy, but he was a little tanned after five days of work, and he looked very energetic.

"Why did the great treasurer come at this time? But the money is used up?"

The treasurer Zhong said: "My boss, someone wants to do a big business with us! I'm not sure, so I hurried to pick you up."

Qin Yining was taken aback, and said, "At this time, what kind of business will there be?"

The treasurer Zhong's eyes were bright, and Qin Yining could tell his excitement just by looking at his expression.

He lowered his voice and said, "My boss, some people want to buy the shops and houses mortgaged to our city!"
