A lucky wife born again from a farm family

The emperor is a man who doesn't play by common sense. What if he suddenly thinks that the Dou family is slapping him in the face by lending money to farmers?

Mr. Ouyang said: "Don't worry, I will write to eldest brother. When news of what we have done reaches the capital, let eldest brother meet the emperor and tell him personally that we will not let the treacherous villain have a chance in front of the emperor." Complain."

After hearing this, Dou Shaodong's family breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Ouyang is a master of two generations of emperors and a leading scholar. The younger generation can trust him."

After Dou Shaodong's family thanked Mr. Ouyang, they agreed.

but……

"Isn't it too little to charge only 20% more interest? Why not charge 30%?" Dou Shaodong suggested with bright eyes.

Mr. Ouyang shook his head: "No, 30% is too much. If you do this, the good reputation your Dou family can get will be reduced. If not, you will be scolded by the farmers."

Well, Dou Shaodong's family wants to vomit blood. It is indeed the most troublesome to lend money to farmers. It is better to lend money to wealthy households, business people, and government officials.

"Third sister, what do you want to say?" After Gu Jinli saw that Dou Shaodong's family agreed, he looked at Ouyang Ming and saw that she kept frowning, thinking that she had something to say.

Ouyang Ming nodded and said: "Grandpa has always been a pure minister. He can speak for us, but I don't want to ruin his reputation as a pure minister... so I want to use my own name to do this in partnership with you."

Her parents were dead, she had no brothers, and she was an orphan. If she did this in her own name, and the emperor would be unhappy when he found out, he would at most ask the queen to send someone to punish her, and he would not blame the grandfather and the others.

Ouyang Ming said: "The ignorance of the boudoir woman and the deliberate behavior of the court ministers have different responsibilities."

The former is at best her death, but the latter may be the death of the Ouyang family!

Gu Jinan said: "No, my family raised this matter first. I cannot let Miss Ouyang be implicated."

His tone was a little urgent, making Ouyang Ming glance sideways.

"Girl Ming, I thought you were smart, but your idea is very bad." Mr. Ouyang glanced at Gu Jinan and said to Ouyang Ming: "Ouyang's family is Ding Xingwang, your great grandfather and I can't protect you as a child. Girl? Do you need to come forward? "

Ouyang Ming was startled, stood up and apologized: "Grandpa, calm down, it's my granddaughter who is too arrogant."

"Sit down. When something big happens in the future, think more about it and don't say such impulsive words again." Mr. Ouyang pressed his palms and motioned for Ouyang Ming to sit down, and then thought about who to use. In the name of doing this with the Dou Shaodong family and the Gu family.

Finally, he said: "Do this in your grandmother's name. All our money and the money from the Gu family will be included in your grandmother's dowry."

Mr. Ouyang's wife, whose surname is Duan, has passed away. The descendants of her natal family are only serving as servants in the Hanlin Academy. They have no powerful ministers and will not be suspected by the emperor.

As for the madam's mother, Mr. Ouyang's mother-in-law once helped the current Queen Mother and was kind to the Queen Mother, it was impossible for the Emperor to argue with a dead person who was kind to the Queen Mother.

Therefore, it is perfectly appropriate to use Duan's name to lend money to farmers.

"Thank you, grandpa." Ouyang Ming knelt down and thanked Mr. Ouyang.

In fact, she also thought of doing this in her grandmother's name, but her grandmother treated her very well during her lifetime, and she didn't want to take advantage of her, so she didn't say anything.

Mr. Ouyang said: "Get up, you have more and more rules. Why should you kneel down?"

Then he looked at her and said: "Your grandmother left a message before she died that she would give you half of her private treasury as a dowry. Now that she has used it to do this, your dowry will be small."

Ouyang Ming said with a smile: "My granddaughter doesn't care. With the care of her grandmother and grandfather, she has benefited from it all her life."

As for the dowry, she still had her mother's dowry, which was already rich enough.

Dou Shaodong's family asked: "Whose bank will the bank use?"

You need a bank to do this.

Mr. Ouyang said: "My wife's dowry includes a bank in He'an Mansion, so let's use this bank."

In fact, this bank belongs to Ouyang's family and was given to him by his eldest brother. He said that he was traveling around and needed a bank, otherwise if he ran out of money, he would have to beg for money.

However, he had a great reputation and could not manage such things, so he transferred the bank to his wife's name and used it as her dowry.

He added: "Tianfu County and Luchang County should also set up two banks, so that farmers can borrow money more conveniently."

Dou Shaodong's family gave a thumbs up and said: "You are worthy of being the second old master of the Ouyang family. If you don't take action, you will be so generous. I admire you!"

"Huh, what do you admire? You have work to do yourself." Mr. Ouyang couldn't see the Dou Shaodong family looking at the good show and warned him: "Get the money ready quickly. It will be used in three days. If you can't get it by then, If you lend money to farmers, you won’t get any benefits.”

But Dou Shaodong's family said: "Three days? Isn't it too short? You have to borrow it after ten days. It will be good for us to let them make trouble first."

"Ten days? After waiting for ten days, I'm afraid you will have to hide in the cellar to avoid disasters." Mr. Ouyang sneered. There were villagers in the town crying today. If you wait for ten days, I guess The government offices were destroyed by the angry people.

Dou Shaodong's family curled his lips and said: "Three days is all, don't worry, the money will be in place by then."

Isn't it just silver? The Dou family has a lot of it, and as the young boss of the Dou family, he can still transfer fifty thousand taels of silver. Adding in his personal money, it is not a problem to come up with a hundred thousand taels.

"Mr. Ouyang, how much does your family pay?" Dou Shaodong's family asked with a shy smile.

Mr. Ouyang glanced at him and said calmly: "It won't be less than what you took out."

Dou Shaodong's family was shocked: "So rich?"

Mr. Ouyang did not speak, but his face said: Yes, my old wife is so rich.

Mr. Ouyang's wife is also from a noble family, and she has been running the dowry business for a lifetime. Overall, she has made a lot of money, and there is also the money he has earned in the past few decades, so it adds up to a lot.

"What about your family? How much do you want to pay? Don't think about it with nothing!" Dou Shaodong's family looked at Gu Jinli, as if if your family provided too little money, don't blame me for being rude.

Gu Jinli said with a bitter look on his face: "My family is very poor and can only afford thirty thousand taels at most."

"Thirty thousand taels?" Dou Shaodong's family frowned, because a breath was stuck in his throat and he couldn't get out... To be honest, as a nouveau riche in the countryside, the Gu family could afford thirty thousand taels of silver, which was actually a lot, but it was really not much. !

Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, I can only put out thirty thousand taels at the moment, but after the ham and wine are sold, my family will make more money in the future."

Chaos has already occurred in Dachu, and it will only become more chaotic in the future. Her money must be reserved for Brother Qin to buy horses and raise people, so she cannot spend too much at once.
