Return of the Swallow

When Qin Yining arrived at the side hall, shopkeeper Zhong Da turned around with a dignified expression on the ground. When he saw Qin Yining entering the door, he quickly walked over to greet him, and said anxiously, "Boss, something is bad."

"What's the matter? Sit down and talk slowly."

Qin Yining led shopkeeper Zhong Da to a seat, and Song Lan served tea for the two and then retreated.

The shopkeeper Zhong Da didn't care about etiquette either, so he poured more than half a bowl to moisten his throat, which was already anxious to breathe fire.

"There are more and more people running for their lives in the city these days. People who mortgaged their properties and asked us to borrow money from us have all left their houses and ran away! I took people from house to house to find people, and the results were not at all. None of them obeyed the rules, they only stayed to watch the house, and most of them also left us letters and house deeds.”

Qin Yining was stunned, and took a stack of letter paper handed over by shopkeeper Zhong Da and looked at it.

The meaning is the same - those people don't care whether the money they borrowed is worth the house price and land price of their storefronts and shops, because they are in a hurry at home, or for various reasons, they are in a hurry to leave Kyoto, and the money borrowed is used by Qin Yining. Used to buy their storefronts, all the facades and real estate will belong to Qin Yining.

what is this? Strong buy and strong sell?

If it was in the Taiping era, where would one find such a good deal? Not to mention the dozen deeds and land deeds in his hand, it is one of them. Qin Yining would have to spend a lot of time trying to get it down. According to the calculation method in the era of peace, Qin Yining is getting a lot of money!

But the problem is, in today's world, shop fronts are worthless at all!

According to the brutal behavior of the Hu Ben army in Xihua City, it is difficult to guarantee whether they will rush into the capital in the future. If the capital city is destroyed, will the Hu Ben army burn, kill and loot in the city?

The shop floor and the house are all dead things. These people fled with their families and their families. They couldn’t take the house and land with them, but they could take away the money. They went to the new land and could still count on the money to support their families.

But what is the use of Qin Yining asking for so many dead things in Kyoto? It can't be eaten and can't be used. If the people from Dazhou come in, they will be burnt and nothing will be left.

No wonder shopkeeper Zhong Da became so anxious.

Qin Yining sighed quietly, "That's the way the world is, it's useless to be anxious at this moment. If you think about it, we will still leave these shops and houses. If I had so many shops in the past, I would just rent them out. It won't last a lifetime."

"The owner can still laugh at this moment.

The shopkeeper Zhong Da sighed, "The owner hasn't been out to see these days, not to mention that these businessmen had foresight and chose to escape with money in advance. Even those ordinary people are also selling their houses and land to go out. Many big Zhuangzi are shooting outside, but now in troubled times, who doesn't know how to save some money to escape? Who wants what to do with crops that cannot be eaten and cannot be used? "

Shopkeeper Zhong Da shook his head, pointed his hand in the direction of Da Zhou and scolded: "You said that those bastards, why are they so untrustworthy, they talked about peace talks well, and the peace treaty was signed, we are ceding the land again. Another indemnity, so that the common people can live peacefully for a few days, and now the money has been given to the land, and they have paid for it. They turned their faces and didn’t recognize people! Yes, our emperor is incompetent, but the emperor is a bastard, ordinary people What's the point? Right now, the common people are selling their land and fleeing for their lives, and I think it won't be long before they will turn into selling their sons, daughters and wives."

Qin Yining naturally knew how the common people lived under the chaos of war, not only the enemy army was abominable, but the bandits who could not afford to eat and fall into trouble were even more abhorrent than the enemy army. Dare to close her eyes, otherwise she wouldn't be hiding in the mountains alone.

"Master Zhong, the world is so chaotic now, can the affairs of your family be arranged properly?"

Shopkeeper Zhong Da nodded and said, "I have ordered my son to step back."

"That's good. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, it's not a bad thing to be prepared in advance. It's better for Zhong Da's shopkeeper to go south to avoid the limelight. If the capital city is safe, it's naturally good, and you can come back anytime you want. Come back. If there is anything, it can avoid the disaster. Now that the city has not yet reached the level of martial law, it is better to leave now. The shopkeeper is a smart person, so he should have arranged for his family earlier."

Shopkeeper Zhong Da nodded again and again and said with a moving expression: "It's rare for the owner to be so kind, the old man heard it before, the owner let go of the servants in the mansion and gave them money to let them escape. Many people now praise the Marquis of Anping's mansion. It's just that the emperor has no eyes, and he treats the Marquis of Anping like that."

Qin Yining waved his hand and said helplessly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all kindness, my father is loyal, and naturally he has to bear it. I just don't want to implicate innocent people. Since they have their intentions, I don't need to force them. Stay. Now that shopkeeper Zhong Da's house has been arranged, you can leave the capital with your children when the time is right. In these days, shopkeeper Zhong Da can start to hand over the accounts to me. "

Shopkeeper Zhong Da just deliberately didn't answer just now, just to avoid this question.

But Qin Yining cared about him so much that he had to look directly at the current situation.

"Master, it's easy for me to go, but what about you?"

"Me?" Qin Yining smiled slightly: "I am the daughter of the Qin family, and even if the sky of the Dayan Dynasty falls, I will stay in the capital city to advance and retreat with my father."

Qin Yining got up and walked to the back window, looking at the lush green grass and a small piece of lush forest outside the window, there were a few birds perched on it, chirping happily.

Such a peaceful scene, I don't know if I can see it in the future.

Thinking of the people in the city who worked hard and had no troubles, Qin Yining thought about it and said, "Boss, I have one last thing for you to do. After you arrange it, you can leave the capital with your family."

Shopkeeper Zhong Da asked suspiciously, "What's the boss's order?"

"My money, apart from supporting the refugees in Ningyuan, should there be a surplus?"

The storekeeper Zhong Da nodded and said, "The property that Mrs. Dingguo left to the owner was a huge amount. The owner only spent 10,000 taels. Even if it is used vigorously, how much can it be used."

"Well, it's good to have a balance. Since there are people in the city who sell their land to escape for their lives, then the shopkeeper Zhong Da will instruct them to quietly buy those fields."

"What!" Master Zhong stood up in astonishment, "Boss, the lands they sold are the same as the houses left by those mortgaged and borrowed, and they are of no use to you! Once the city is destroyed, those lands will be Abandoned land, you won't even know who owns the country at that time, let alone no one is cultivating the heavy fields! If the owner's money is spent, it will be a waste!"

"I understand what the shopkeeper said." Qin Yining turned around and said with a smile, "But I just don't want to take advantage of the Zhou Dynasty emperor."

The shopkeeper Zhong Da was stunned.

"If Dayan falls, the country is not the country, the home is not the home, not to mention my Zhaoyun Division, the entire Qin family, the entire treasury of the Yan Dynasty will fall into the hands of the Zhou Dynasty emperor. I said no to the state treasury. Forget it, the Qin family doesn’t have much money, and I don’t have the final say, but even if I throw away my own money, I don’t want to take advantage of the Zhou Dynasty emperor!”

"Master..." Manager Zhong Da suddenly felt his eyes warm, his nose was sore, and tears almost came out.

"I will definitely not be able to run away. Once the country is really destroyed, all my things will become Zhou Emperor's. Now that the money is still under my control, it is better to exchange it for the common people to run for their lives. It is also used for the people of the Yan Dynasty. , it's not a waste. Otherwise, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty will be cheap in the future, then I really want to feel distressed."

"The owner is righteous." The boss, Zhong Da, bowed his hands in admiration. For a moment, he seemed to have a firm mind, "Okay, since the owner has decided, let me handle this matter."

Qin Yining smiled and said: "Remember, this matter cannot be publicized, it has to be arranged step by step so that people can't find me."

"Why didn't the owner take this opportunity to gain fame again? You are really doing things for the common people."

Qin Yining pointed to the top of his head and said with a smile: "Don't forget, the emperor has been staring at my Zhao Yunsi all the time. If he finds out, he won't grab it back in a rage? Then nothing can be done. "

When the shopkeeper Zhong Da thinks of Shunjun, his stomach is full of anger, but he is just a commoner and has no other choice. What he can do now is to maximize Qin Yining's money.

"Okay, just don't worry, the owner, I must arrange it properly, even if we check it, we can't find it."

"There is a shopkeeper from Laoda. I think it will be finished in about three or five days. When the money is spent, you can give me the house deed, land deed, and land deed, and then you can leave with your family."

Shopkeeper Zhong Da looked at Qin Yining's sincere smile, just shook his head, handed his farewell, and turned to leave.

Qin Yining watched shopkeeper Zhong Da leave before returning to the fish pond to continue talking with Qin Huaiyuan.

In this way, five days have passed. Looking at the nearly July, this year there is little rain, the weather is hot, the sun is getting hotter every day, and people who are hot are stuffy.

One day, Qin Yining hugged Erbai and was about to take a nap when Song Lan quickly walked through the door and said in a low voice, "Girl, shopkeeper Zhong Da is here."

Qin Yining was stunned for a moment, then got up in a hurry, grabbed his hair and went downstairs, and went straight to the side hall of the front yard.

Shopkeeper Zhong Da still had sweat on his forehead and his face was full of oil, but he had gotten a little tan after five days of hard work, and he looked in good spirits.

"Why is the shopkeeper here at this time? But the money has run out?"

The shopkeeper Zhong Da said, "Boss, someone wants to do a big business with us! I'm not sure myself, so I'll rush to pick you up."

Qin Yining was stunned for a moment and said, "It's all this time, what business will there be?"

Shopkeeper Zhong Da's eyes were bright, and Qin Yining could tell his excitement just by looking at his expression.

He lowered his voice and said, "Master, some people want to buy the shops and houses that were previously mortgaged to us in the city!"
