Chapter 4 The Message of the Second Generation Ancestor

Li Yewu said something amazing, and after that, she walked into the inner room.

Everyone was stunned when they looked at her actions.

No?

They are all like this. The heads of the four major families in Taihecheng have sat in public and protested. Should the Shang Palace pay back the money if you want some face?

Didn’t I just give Ma Da’s family a batch of money? Why did they lose money when they got to the point of being a princess, and even cheated on me and said that it was not a princess, and that she had no responsibility and had to go to rest. Is this bullying them without a knife?

Just as everyone was indignant, the seemingly beautiful and gentle princess suddenly stopped and turned around.

Everyone immediately ignited the fire of hope. When they came, she was just pretending to be free and easy, but she was actually very afraid that they would do this!

After all, King Shang was not paying back his debts, and the news that the creditor came to sit quietly and demonstrated was spread. Where should the royal mansion be put?

Just as everyone was secretly happy and waiting for the princess to pay back the money, Li Yewu spoke.

"The mansion doesn't care about food. Remember to solve it yourself when you are hungry."

"..." Everyone.

After Li Yewu finished giving the instructions, he left without looking back, and the rich were all stunned.

"What should I do now?"

"This girl doesn't play by the rules!"

"She is really not as well as my maid Jingui. Maybe there are really problems with the rumors outside..."

In order to avoid falling into their entanglement, the old housekeeper quietly escaped while the wealthy merchants and households were whispering.

For a moment, only debt collection merchants were left in the living room of King Shang's mansion and were still in the living room for a long time.

The old butler lamented and went back to the backyard. As expected, he shouldn't have had too much hope for his master.

Although he doesn't like to listen to the words of Ma Da, he has to say that it makes sense.

It’s not a family, it’s not a family.

Master, how could this unreliable guy find a virtuous princess?

After all, he thought too much. Looking at the little lady's appearance of not being concerned about her own affairs, she knew that this person's Kung Fu was as pure as his master, and she would not be able to live her life in the future!

The old butler entered the backyard with a heart of silence, intending to take out the last coffin book to help you calculate a little bit.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw the young lady who was very cool just now, waving to him.

The old butler suddenly realized that the young lady was not afraid of boiling water, but just used a slow-tempered strategy to go to the backyard to find a way?

Thinking of this, the old butler couldn't help but burst into tears.

Is the Shang Prince's Mansion finally coming to a reliable owner?

It's so touching!

"Xiao...How much money does King Shang owe?"

"Follow me, little lady."

The old butler said as he took Li Yewu to the study, and then found the column of Taihecheng among the many books, and drew out a thick stack of IOUs.

"Little Madam, before I say this, I hope you understand that our master is a great future and great luck, no matter what..."

"Okay, you don't need to give me a heart attack. I know what kind of person he is, so hurry up and count it."

Xiao Jiuxi will die in a few years. How lucky can he have? These words are almost the same as using them to deceive children.

Li Yewu just wanted to know how much she owe and whether she could solve the problem at one time.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper sighed silently and replied.

"We owe eight million taels of silver from the four major families in Taihecheng."

“How many…?”

Li Yewu widened her dog eyes.

"Eight million taels..." The butler made a gesture of eight.

Li Yewu only felt confused, "What are the prices here?"

The old butler was confused: "What...what...what...the price?"

Li Yewu sighed: "I mean how much rice in Taihecheng costs per pound. Haha, you know, I lived in the imperial capital before and didn't know anything about Taihecheng.

Also, how much is the salary of King Shang per month and how much is the revenue of the industry in Shang per month. Please tell the housekeeper truthfully.

Of course, the premise is that if you really want to help Xiao...the prince solves his debt, please tell me."

The old housekeeper replied immediately: "The rice price in Taihe City this year is 50 cents per kilogram, and the master's salary is 500 taels of silver per month. His Majesty will give his master an additional 30,000 taels of silver per quarter. As for the master's industry, the master currently... has no industry, only abandoned fields and hills that can't be seen at a glance."

“???”

Li Yewu was shocked by the four words "no industry". There are princes in this world who have no industry? Are you kidding?

The housekeeper was a little guilty: "I used to have it, but my master used it to exchange it for money."

...

Li Yewu suffocated: "What do you want this guy...what do you want so much money?"

"Relief of the victims..." the housekeeper answered honestly.

"..." Li Yewu.

Those who don’t know thought that Xiao Jiuxi had saved the victims of the entire universe.

Li Yewu resisted the urge to pinch Xiao Jiuxi to death and quickly calculated his salary.

Xiao Jiuxi's monthly salary is 500 taels, plus an additional 30,000 taels of pocket money per quarter, which is equivalent to the 186,000 taels given to Xiao Jiuxi every year.

As for Taihecheng's 50-month per kilogram of rice, she didn't know whether it was expensive or cheap, but even if it was 100-month per kilogram, Xiao Jiuxi earned 186,000 taels per year, which should be enough for him to spend. How could he fall into the situation of selling all industries and even owing 8 million?

And what was the promised Taihecheng to be the richest vassal state of the Great Chu Empire? The situation of bandits and slums all over the land is completely inconsistent with the description of the novel.

"Although Taihe is rich, the chaos has just been calmed down. Most of the nobles here have been exiled. The bandits took the opportunity to rise up and the people are displaced... The master, Renci, set up a charity hall to take in homeless refugees, built houses and distributed relief funds and rations, never interrupted.

Over time, the master's money was emptied and he borrowed it from the wealthy family in Taihe City. After a long time, he borrowed it into debt and became what he is today..."

The housekeeper silently told the prince’s debts, and there was also the light of worshiping the saint in his eyes.

"..." Li Yewu.

At first glance, it feels quite touching, but when you think about it carefully, it is simply a problem.

Xiao Jiuxi actually wanted to use money to solve the difficulties in troubled times? Didn’t she think of other measures?

The old butler shook his head, "Master said, what money can solve is nothing..."

"..." Li Yewu.

Very good, it was really not a problem. He patted his butt and ran to the emperor to participate in the battle for the throne. He did not come back until he died in battle. The debt eventually became a headless death debt.

It’s just that he is pitiful to Li Yewu, the creditor and tool man of Taihe City.

In the novel, Li Yewu is not the protagonist, so I naturally don’t go into details about her arrival in the fiefdom. However, judging from her current experience, I’m afraid that Li Yewu’s life will not be easy, and it will be even worse when Xiao Jiuxi dies.

I guess Li Yewu himself did not expect that he would jump from the pit of poverty to the abyss of poverty when he saved a prince.

Eight million debt...how can I pay it back?

Li Yewu really wanted to beat the second generation ancestor. As a prince, he didn't learn the ability to govern the country and pacify the world, so why would he be fooled?

Normal people know that using Shantang to help the people can only respond to emergency responses but not long-term, otherwise they will be dragged down sooner or later!
