Chapter 6 The God of Plague Arrives
North of the city, Jintaifang.
Su Mansion.
The Su family is the three major medicinal materials family in Sijiu City. It has been operating medicinal materials for decades. It has been operating medicinal materials since the time of Emperor Yingzong until now. Unfortunately, due to the squeeze of the Li family and the Tian family in the past two years, the business is almost impossible to continue.
In the mansion, Su Rongcheng, who is in his forties, is frowning and tidying his abacus.
"It's not enough to make ends meet... According to this situation, the Su family will not be able to hold on for another half a year."
Su Rongcheng's face was as beautiful as earth.
On the side is his daughter, and his right-hand assistant Su Yao.
Su Yao was only 29 years old, her eyes were bright, she looked very smart, and her appearance was excellent.
At this time, Su Yao was looking at her father with a cautious look, gritting her teeth and saying hatred: "The Tian family relies on the help of the Ministry of Revenue, and has frequently fought against our Su family for several years. The Li family relied on their relationship with the British Duke, at least it was supported, but I heard that they had sold a lot of medicinal materials to the Tian family at a low price... My father, it really doesn't work, so we transported more than a dozen ships of medicinal materials to Yingtian Mansion for sale, and we would not be led by the nose."
Su Rongcheng smiled bitterly and said, "Silly daughter, even our own land in the capital can't be sold. Can we sell it if it is shipped to Nanjing?"
"If we really can't go on, we can only sell the dozen medicinal materials we purchased from Yunnan and Guizhou at 10% of the market price to the Tian family. We have to pay back the debts outside quickly... At worst, our Su family will not get involved in this medicinal material business in the future."
Su Yao said: "I'm afraid that things will come to an end, and the Tian family will not even give it a 10% price."
The father and daughter each showed their sad faces.
At this moment, a servant hurried in and shouted loudly before he could enter the door: "Master, something is not good. Uncle Jianchang brought people to the door and rushed into the mansion and came to the main hall without waiting for the notice!"
When Su Rongcheng heard the name of "Jianchang Bo", he was shocked and hurriedly pointed at the inner hall and said, "Daughter, come in quickly, the plague god is here!"
To the Su family, Zhang Yanling is indeed a plague god.
Zhang Yanling is the creditor, and the old man is definitely collecting debts these days. And the uncle like Zhang Yanling, who does everything evil, is the old man among the old man.
Before Su Rongcheng could be discharged from the hospital, he saw Zhang Yanling and dozens of people pounced into the Su family's main courtyard. He heard Zhang Yanling's voice coming: "Oh, Mr. Su, why are you still polite after not seeing you for a few days? Let's talk inside."
If Zhang Yue wants to adapt to being Zhang Yanling, he must first understand the characters' psychology, be arrogant and domineering, or be cruel and ruthless. He could have been unreasonable in the past, but now the reason must be the first.
As for the style, you must be arrogant.
When Su Rongcheng saw Zhang Yanling coming, his legs were trembling. He quickly pointed to the servant beside him and said, "Go and get to the account and pay 60 taels of silver. Please come in from the uncle."
Zhang Yueren had already walked up to Su Rongcheng, looked at the old man who looked thin and old without any blessings, and frowned and said, "Su family, what does this mean? I'll come to visit. Do you pay me 60 taels of silver and get me beggar?"
"Master, don't get angry. The grass-roots borrowed 400 taels of silver more than half a month ago. It has agreed to calculate interest every month. It has only been half a month. According to interest, it is indeed sixty taels..."
Perhaps seeing Zhang Yue's face was very bad, he quickly shouted, "Add 60 taels more."
In order to give the plague god, he could only offer one month's interest.
Seeing Su Rongcheng's face, Zhang Yue knew that the Su family would be unable to afford this hundred and twenty taels.
The original plan was to get back all the capital and profits of 400 taels, but it seemed that there was no chance.
Then we can only take the second step.
Zhang Yue took the lead and walked to the main hall, laughing: "The Su family is so disgusting. Today, I am not here to collect debts. Not only did I not collect debts, I also sent congratulations."
Su Rongcheng followed Zhang Yanling happily, and before he could cross the threshold of the main hall, he was surprised to hear this, "Brother, where is the joy coming from?"
"Of course, congratulations to you for your separation and family breaking down, and your family will be destroyed. Come and send me my gift."
I saw Bei Laiqi and Dong Laijiu, carrying a paper-made wreath, and placed it directly under the plaque of Su Jiazheng Hall.
When Su Rongcheng saw this scene, his nose was almost pissed.
If you don’t do anything to send wreaths to your door in broad daylight, only Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling can do such a sinister thing.
"Master, don't laugh."
"Who is smiling at you?" Zhang Yue's face turned from kind-eyed and stern.
"I heard that your Su family has borrowed thousands of chunks of debts outside, and the backlog of medicinal materials on hand can fill ten warehouses. Now, the market is suppressed by the people of the Tian family. No medicinal materials shop dares to accept your goods. It is impossible to ship them to other places to sell. Apart from the destruction of the family, there is any other way to go?"
Su Rongcheng was hit by someone's weakness and still argued: "The Su family will have a solution."
"You have a way to borrow money from me? Don't force yourself to what we know."
In Zhang Yue's meaning, you, Su Rongcheng, knowing that I am thinking about your daughter, and you dare to come and borrow usury from me with a monthly interest rate of 30%.
Isn’t it because you are desperate and take risks like this?
"Maybe you can sell medicinal materials at a low price, so you can take advantage of the conspiracy of the Tian family, right? I think you are a great medicinal material family, Su family, who made contributions to the victory in the past. It was really thirty years, Hedong and thirty years, Hexi, and the family will be destroyed in a blink of an eye... By the way, you can't rely on the 400 taels you owe to me. By the way, your family will be confiscated and appointed as officials. Your beautiful daughter will be kept for me... Hehe..."
When Su Rongcheng saw Zhang Yue's arrogant and vulgar smile, his heart was bleeding.
I was thinking to myself: "Hurry up and marry my daughter out. No matter what family it is, I can't let my daughter fall into the claws."
Zhang Yue walked to the main hall and kicked the wreath down with one kick, which surprised Su Rongcheng.
Zhang Yue gave herself a wreath and kicked it down again? What does it mean?
But seeing that Zhang Yue was already sitting on the altar of Su Fuzhengtang.
"Su's head of the family, this time my lord came, there is actually another thing."
Su Rongcheng has ignored Zhang Yue.
He regretted it very much, thinking that even if other holes cannot be blocked, he would have to block the hole first.
Zhang Yue continued to speak earnestly: "The Su family should know that the north has not been peaceful recently, the northwest Huazi has caused trouble, and the northern Tartars have also caused trouble. What about the Tatars? The Oirat invasion of the territory every day, and the business in the capital is not easy to do. But I learned from the people of the government that a lot of medicinal materials on the market have flowed outside the northern pass..."
Su Rongcheng was shocked and said, "Sir, if you collect debts, you can't just blame others. My Su family has never done anything to understand foreigners. You want to tell evidence."
"When will I say that you are from the Su family?
Zhang Yue frowned.
"Besides, your medicinal materials are now piled up in the mountains and almost rotten in your hands. Even if the medicinal materials are circulated from the market to outside Beiguan, it has nothing to do with your Su family."
Su Rongcheng was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, isn’t this really the case?
If medicinal materials are sold outside the pass, it must have been done by the Tian family or the Li family.
Or a drug dealer from another place.
It must have nothing to do with the Su family.
But he immediately realized a big problem, which was caused by Zhang Yanling.
As he knew, no matter which medicinal material merchant, he would dare not do such a traitor. He wanted to confiscate the family and destroy the clan.
But why did Zhang Yanling suddenly mention this?
"I am deeply grateful to the emperor and Zhang Yu, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. You know, Zhang is also a member of the old Zhang family. I told Zhang Gong to investigate the outflow of materials. My Lord gave him a good idea, which was to seal all the warehouses that piled up medicinal materials in the city and get a pot to remove the firewood."
"As long as you can't find it out for one day, you can seal it for one day. If you can't find it out for one month, you can seal it for one month..."
"This kind of matter of being traitorous and traitorous must be investigated clearly at all costs and must not cause any harm to it."
"I am such a loyal and patriotic, upright and selfless person."
Zhang Yue said and knocked on the table, and Su Rongcheng was stunned.
At first he didn't seem to understand what was going on. When he heard this, he seemed to understand a little.
If Shuntian Prefecture really sealed off the Tian family and Li family's warehouses, wouldn't the medicinal materials on the capital be stopped?
With the monopoly of the Tian family and the Li family over the medicinal materials of the capital, it is absolutely impossible to put foreign goods in it, until then...
The goods on the Su family are afraid they are going to make money!!
