Chapter 341 Dead and alive again (please vote for me!)
When things have developed to this point, the salt merchants have begun to act like they are watching a monkey show.
Rich people like them really understand what thirty thousand taels of cash is. They also have the ability to judge whether a person can get thirty thousand taels of cash.
For example, in the north, the annual land rent income from 600,000 acres of land is almost 30,000 taels of silver.
But this does not mean that a large landowner with 600,000 acres of land can allocate 30,000 taels of cash at once.
Seeing that Lin Tailai was still insisting, the Commissioner of Shipping said, "Since you are sure that the price is correct, you must pay the Salt Transport Department 30,000 taels of silver and sign the deed first!"
The envoy did not ask Lin Tailai in detail how to pay. He wished that Lin Tailai could not pay.
Lin Daguan's voice suddenly softened a bit, and he no longer had the momentum of frantically shouting prices. He asked, "Well, can I pay with precious cash?"
The salt merchants burst into laughter. Are you, Lin Tailai, really planning to use "paper money" to pay off your bills? Which of them doesn't have hundreds of millions in collection? Do you want to sell them all to you, Mr. Lin Daguan?
The Fei Yunshi replied mercilessly: "The Salt Transportation Department never accepts waste banknotes when issuing Yinwo, only cash!"
Official Lin then asked helplessly: "Then please give the Secretary of Transportation a few days of grace while I go find someone to borrow the debt."
How arrogant the bidding was just now, but how humble it is to ask for mercy now.
Zheng Zhiyan, who was standing next to him, interjected: "I'm sure no one in Yangzhou City will lend you thirty thousand taels!"
The moneylenders in Yangzhou City were all salt merchants, and Lin Tailai's credit among the salt merchants was basically zero.
Secondly, even in business, Lin Tailai did not have enough collateral to borrow thirty thousand taels of silver.
Not to mention that the five thousand Yinwo has not been obtained yet, even if it is obtained, it is not worth lending thirty thousand.
Official Lin snorted coldly and said: "If people from Yangzhou don't lend it, then there are people from my hometown! When I return to Suzhou to raise funds, I will let my guys do it!"
Suzhou City used to be Zheng Zhiyan's salt area, and he had some knowledge of Lin Tailai's situation.
Then he mocked: "How many associates do you have? Even if there are a thousand people, then each person will have to contribute thirty taels, which is equivalent to three years' income. Is this possible?"
Anyone who has conducted social analysis knows that if there are a thousand subordinates who can unconditionally contribute three years of income for the leader, then it will be more than enough to rebel directly, and it will be much more powerful than the White Lotus Sect.
Official Lin sighed, "It's really troublesome! Then there's no need for money!"
The salt merchants burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere inside and outside the lobby was filled with joy. Finally, they saw Lin Tailai deflated in front of capital.
Money is not everything, but sometimes, no money is absolutely impossible!
Only the professionally trained Fei Yunshi did not laugh and still maintained the majesty of a third-grade official.
But he also said decisively: "I don't care what you can do, but within three days, 30,000 taels of silver will be released and put into the treasury! Otherwise, you will be severely punished!"
Official Lin turned his head to look at Wu Tian who was beside him, and said emphatically: "Did you hear what the envoy said? Remember it, don't waste the time!"
Everyone: "."
Only then did everyone remember that the real bidder was actually this young woman, Wu Tianshi.
We have all seen scumbags who cheat money and sex, but we have never seen such a scumbag as Lin Tailai!
Just throw out such a beautiful woman as cannon fodder, the scum of scum!
Wu Tian was so heartbroken that even if he sold her, he would not be able to sell 30,000 taels for a hundred.
What did he do wrong? Why did Lin Daguan want to trick him like this? Couldn't he see the admiration in his heart?
"The bidding is over today, let's go!" Lin Tailai urged again.
Wu Tianshi stood up unsteadily, like a zombie, completely unsteady.
Upon seeing this, Official Lin quickly stepped forward to support Wu Tianshi kindly, and said comfortingly:
"There are no obstacles in life that cannot be overcome. As long as you are alive, there is hope. As a human being, you must not lose confidence. You must cheer up!"
Wu Tian touched the short dart in his sleeve, and for a moment he really wanted to stab the man next to him to death!
But she finally pressed the impulse. That's all, she owed him all this, and at worst, she would be on the run.
But will Mr. Lin escape with him and live incognito in a place where no one knows him? That seems good, too?
Just after walking out of the lobby, Wu Tian was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard Lin Tailai whisper in his ear: "Congratulations on passing the test."
Wu Tianshi raised his head suddenly, what does this mean?
Could it be that there is a tacit understanding that Lin Daguan really wants to escape with him?
Lin Daguan smiled and said nothing. Wu Tian was a woman with great skills, and she was bullied to such an extent that she still didn't fall out with her and take action. This was definitely a passing decision.
It's quite fun to say. From a martial arts point of view, Wu Tianshi should be able to fight, and he followed his husband in the world. Logically speaking, he should be a strong and aggressive person.
But her character is very weak, and she has a bit of a clinging mentality. She is far less strong than the other two women in the world, Fan Niangzi and Huang Wuniang.
Before the two of them walked off the lobby platform, they suddenly saw a courier from an express delivery shop rushing into the atrium carrying official documents and packages.
Then Pu Bing boarded the platform again, squeezed out the official Lin who was blocking the way, and shouted to the lobby: "An urgent order of six hundred miles!"
Many of the people present were seeing the Liubaili Express business site for the first time and were very curious about what the order was.
Only Lin Daguan couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck! The effect will be better if you arrive later!"
The clerk of the Salt Transportation Department received the edict sandwiched between hard boards, inspected the seal, and opened it in front of the Commissioner of Shipping.
After a few quick glances, he summarized the report and said: "The spring floods in the Huanghuai River were serious. Jinongcang, Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, applied to allocate 20,000 dan of warehouse rice to assist the river governor in disaster relief.
Citing the old events of Kaizhongfa, the imperial court transferred all the five thousand new nests issued by the Huaihe Transportation Department this spring to the operation of Jinongcang in Wu County as a special compensation!"
Everyone inside and outside the lobby, especially the salt merchants with strong capital, were immediately confused after hearing this edict that was like a fairy from heaven, and their brains almost completely shut down.
What is the ghost of Wuxian Jinongcang that suddenly appeared?
How come our Yangzhou Yanyin is related to Wuxian Jinongcang?
Is this horse riding a one-dimensional thing?
Only Lin Daguan was still active. He stepped into the lobby threshold again and shouted to Fei Yunshi:
"All the five thousand introduced nests were given to Wu County Jinongcang, what about the Wu Tian family who recognized the nest?
She was very sincere and offered 30,000 taels for the bid! The Salt Transportation Department actually wanted to break the contract directly!
In business, your Salt Transportation Department must give the Wu Tian family an explanation, otherwise hundreds of brothers in the Lin family salt industry will not accept it!"
Wu Tian felt like she was alive again. She listened to Mr. Lin talking about "picking quarrels and provoking troubles" for several days, and finally understood what "picking quarrels and provoking troubles" meant.
