All Hail Cousin Brother

If you hire people temporarily, you don't know the basics, they won't be able to use them, and it's inconvenient to use them. If you get into trouble, you'll end up with something wrong. You should be more careful when using fragrant medicine for people.

The people introduced by Butler Wen are relatively reliable and save a lot of trouble.

The two discussed some more details, and Yu Youyao couldn't help but sigh. There were so many people around her, so no matter what she did, everything would go smoothly.

Not long after Bai Shao left, Xie Xun came over.

Yu Youyao bowed to her uncle and mentioned that she would use Xie's name to act.

Xie Xun smiled: "What a coincidence, I came here today and was about to discuss with you. The old man plans to donate 70% of the Xie family's money, 50% to King Wu Mu, and 20% to the government."

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment: "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this..."

These are the assets accumulated by the Xie family for generations.

Xie Xun shook his head: "Everyone knows that our Xie Mansion is the richest in the world. Now we have left our hometown and come to the north. As the saying goes, people are humble when they leave their hometown. We have no foundation in the north. We have this money in our hands. To make people jealous, it is worth using 70% of your net worth to exchange for the Xie family to settle down in the north."

Yu Youyao said subconsciously: "Then there's no need for so much..."

Xie Xun said: "King Wu Mu is not the only one in the north. All the government offices and local gentry are not easy to get along with. If we only donate part of it, others will think that we are hiding it. Even if we donate the money, we will not get anything good. Why don't we give it back?" We are not human beings, so we should donate more happily. Others will think that we are noble and upright, and think that we are benevolent and righteous. Our family is in the north, so we can be open-minded."

This principle is actually the same as that of foreign merchants who brought a large amount of materials to donate to King Wu Mu to help the government resettle refugees, provide relief to refugees, and seek business opportunities.

Yu Youyao's heart was heavy. He escaped from Liang Wang and Quanzhou, but the gentry in the north was powerful and deep-rooted. He was not only Liang Wang, but even better than Liang Wang.

Xie Xun took a sip of tea and said: "The main thing is to attack King Wu Mu and take the opportunity to defeat the gentry in the north. In the eyes of outsiders, our family has such a good relationship with King Wu Mu. In the future, others will want to touch us." , First of all, we need to consider Prince Wu Mu’s Mansion. If there are people who don’t have eyes, King Wu Mu doesn’t have to worry about it and blatantly supports us. ?”

If the king of Liang wants to rebel, the northern border cannot be alone.

Every move that Xiao Yao'er and Yin Huaixi are making right now is making complete preparations for the coming troubled times.

Putting aside the affection between Xiao Yao'er and Yin Huaixi, the Xie Mansion was fortunate enough to be protected by King Wu Mu. How could it be that he took advantage of it in vain and did not want to repay it?

The imperial court promulgated national policies, and the gentry seemed to be cooperating and assisting in resettling the refugees, but they did not make any great efforts, and everyone was waiting and watching.

At this time, someone should take the lead and set an example.

With contrast, the gentry will not be ambiguous.

The more supplies King Wu Mu has in his hands, the more stable the northern territory will be.

At this point, Yu Youyao knew that her vision was narrow.

In terms of understanding of world affairs and understanding of people, she is far less broad than Xie Fu: "What are you going to do?"

Xie Xundao: "It is still according to the original plan, 50% will be donated to King Wu Mu for military supplies, and the other 20% will be purchased to purchase anti-epidemic medicinal materials and donated to the prefecture's Yamen, and we will act in the name of Xie's Mansion. It is better to just take the initiative. "

Medicinal materials for preventing the epidemic are not expensive, and even 20% is enough to buy out the relevant medicinal materials in the three provinces of Liaodong.

Most of Yu Youyao's worries were solved in one go, but she didn't feel happy.

Xie Xun knew her scruples and explained: "Bank notes are strictly controlled and supervised by the government. When the Xie Mansion evacuated Quanzhou, in order to avoid Jiazhou Mansion's suspicion, they only exchanged a small number of silver notes for real gold and silver, so in their hands There is a large backlog of banknotes."

This can be regarded as the majority of Xie's wealth displayed outside.

Yu Youyao knows that the bank has the support of the imperial court, so it can exchange what is needed and circulate throughout the country. In places where commerce and trade are developed, the circulation of banknotes is more widespread.

But Liaodong is a military town, and banknotes are strictly controlled here.

really!

Xie Xundao: "There are regulations for the circulation of cash in the bank. The Xie Mansion is just a merchant, and it is impossible to redeem such a large amount of silver notes at will. During the Taiping years, these bank notes were put on the surface in order to communicate with the bank behind the scenes. The court is showing goodwill and seeking better development, but if trouble comes, it is still unknown what will happen to the money, so it is better to donate it to avoid worries."

To put it bluntly, in the hands of the Xie Mansion, only a small number of silver notes can be used, and they are like pieces of waste paper, but it is different when they are in the hands of King Wu Mu.

When the time comes, he will bring a thousand elite soldiers and surround the bank.

Even if the bank doesn't want to give money, it still wants to give it.

If the money is donated to King Wu Mu, it belongs to King Wu Mu. If King Wu Mu wants to withdraw his own money, does he need the consent of the banker?

This money is military funds. If the banker does not give the money, if he is accused of delaying a military plane, even if he is killed on the spot, no one will dare to say a word.

Although the imperial court was behind the bank, the imperial court could still control the military supplies donated by the private sector?

What's more, the amount of the Xie Mansion's banknote is too large, and the bank in one place simply doesn't have that much cash, so it will inevitably have to transfer money from all over the country.

Only King Wu Muding of the North could drive the bank with such fanfare.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips slightly: "If Xie Mansion wants to develop in the north, it will also need a lot of money..."

Mr. Xie smiled: "Putting it in the bank is for people to see. It is to facilitate business and to appease the people in power. A bank is not as good as your own home."

Yu Youyao immediately understood that it was impossible for a truly wealthy person to exchange money into banknotes and throw them into his hands.

Silver notes are just external certificates, representing the prosperity of a family and the standard by which the world measures value, but they are not the key to measuring a family's heritage.

Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.

In its heyday, it collected all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and antique utensils.

In troubled times, exchange it for real gold and silver, and those gold and silver can be used as real gold and silver. As long as the family heritage is still there and there are always people in the family, it can stand firm.

Xie Mansion puts its wealth on the bright side.

Hidden in every painting at home, every antique in Duobao Pavilion, every treasure in the library...

Yu Youyao nodded: "In that case, I will ask Military Advisor Huang to introduce you to the Yamen of the state capital tomorrow to meet Mr. Ye. I think Mr. Ye is also worried about this matter."

Coming forward at this time can be regarded as giving a pillow to someone who is sleepy, and providing help in a time of need. The prefectural government office will remember Xie Fu's contribution, and Xie Fu's path in the government is completely clear.

Xie Xun nodded: "This is the best."

On the morning of the next day, Huang Wenwen arrived at Xie's Mansion early in the morning and was shocked when he learned of the big move of Xie's Mansion.
