Qin Zhun looked at Qin Zeyu, and then at Qin Jiu, before he helplessly compromised. “Okay, I agree.”
Saying these words coming from his mouth was so agonizing as if it cost him half his life.
If only he could raise the money without getting their help, he wouldn’t have bitten the bullet and come here, how could he allow Qin Jiu to bully him so much!
The money that was allotted for the mansion was given to Gu Jing, including the filial piety he gave to help the second prince win over other ministers, the benefits he gave to Yelu Luan for the Turkic horse last time, and the “housewarming gift” he gave to the second prince.
While the proceeds of the shops and farms were generally received only at the end of the year.
He could barely scrape together this time, but he could only scrape 100,000 taels, which was definitely not enough.
Before coming here, Qin Zhun had already tried to collect old debts, but time was too tight and didn’t get much back.
Of course, he had another option like borrowing money from relatives and friends, but the problem was that he couldn’t bare to open his mouth and asked, apart from the fact that he was the marquis, more importantly, if he borrows money from outsiders and waits for the second prince to return victoriously in the future, who would get the credit?! Wouldn’t it be unfair to let others get a share of the dragon’s merit?!
Moreover, if it were to reach the ears of the Second Prince and find out that their Qin family has gone “bankrupt” and went to borrow money, what would the Second Prince think?
So, after much deliberation, Qin Zhun remembered that the eldest house had money, and asking his family members for money would not count as a loan, so here he was. Unexpectedly, Qin Jiu had a lion’s mouth, but he could only let her take the knife to his heart and cut it.
If the commercial buildings and sea trade in Minzhou were sold to other people, even if the price was lowered, it would definitely be more than 150,000 taels! The sea trade route opened up the by Qin family alone was worth a fortune.
But if he sells it to someone else’s family, then that would also mean that he would be selling his family’s assets, and if word gets out to the clan, it’s enough to be criticized behind his back!
Compared to Qin Zhun’s sullen face, Qin Jiu looked refreshed as she said with a smile, “Then asking second uncle to bring the deed, let’s sign it early and send it to the government for filing.”
As she said that, she deliberately paused again, “However, I’m not in a hurry, after all, second uncle said this is grandfather’s heart and soul, why don’t second uncle go back and think about it again for one night.”
Qin Zeyu who was neither standing nor sitting, thought: Was second uncle going or not?
Qin Zhun felt this heart dripping with blood as if a large chunk of flesh had been ruthlessly gouged out.
After all, sea trade was the most profitable industry of the Qin family.
The Qin family’s property was accumulated by their ancestors, because of the rules that they could inherit seventy percent of the family’s properties and assets, Qin Zhun didn’t really lose much when the eldest house separated from the family.
Sea trade was the foundation established by the late Marquis; he builds it step by step from its foundation.
When the old Marquis was exiled to Minzhou for more than three years, he saw the potential of Minzhou’s sea trade. So, after the current emperor ascended the throne, he strongly advised him to lift the sea ban and develop sea trade to fill the national treasury.
Under the promotion of the late Marquis, many merchants from the capital and Jiangnan went to Minzhou to set up their businesses, among these people was also the Qin family. They were one of the people in the first caravan overseas, and in just a few years, the Qin family just by relying on sea trade they accumulated wealth, and was flourishing and thriving…
After the late Marquis passed away, the property was naturally sent to his second son who inherited the family business.
Qin Zhun clenches and releases his fist over and over again.
Qin Jiu might have said that there was no need to hurry, but Qin Zhun was in a hurry, or rather, the second prince was in a hurry. The second prince was in a hurry to go out to make a contribution and to show his support and sincerity, he needs to send the money as soon as possible.
“It’s not necessary. I have thought it through.” Qin Zhun resolutely said, and immediately called in the servant boy waiting outside the hall under the eaves, instructing him to go back to the house to get the deed paper and account book.
On the same day, three uncles and nephews signed and pledge as witnesses to transfer the ownership of the commercial buildings and sea trade, and sent these documents to the government for record. All formalities were completed in just one hour.
After Qin Zhun received 150,000 taels of silver notes, not wanting to hear Qin Jiu say a word he immediately left with a dark complexion.
Qin Zeyu hurriedly sends the guest off but the other party only said “forget it”. Hearing this from his uncle, Qin Zeyu also didn’t bother to put on a warm face on other people’s cold reception and just watched Qin Zhun leave quickly.
Meanwhile, Qin Jiu felt she had made a fortune, with squinting eyes she laughed as she looked at Qin Zhun’s receding back outside the main hall, she then said with a smile, “This was really a good deal!”
Even if Qin Jiu was still unfamiliar with the ancient business, she still knows that the sea trade could make a lot of money, moreover, she not only trusts herself, but she also trusts her golden thigh. Once her big brother and golden thigh pacify the Minzhou, then it would be a good time for the sea trade again.
Moreover, the Qin family’s sea trade still has a large scale, with ships, people, shops, and commercial routes. She could just directly take over and just wait for Minzhou to settle, by then she would just count money every day.
And earn a fortune.
Qin Jiu was quite satisfied with “sitting at home, counting money”.
Qin Zeyu who watched until the end, inwardly sighed: His sister was really black-bellied, undoubtedly, and definitely black-bellied.
However, it was so refreshing to watch his Second Uncle’s defeated appearance.
His sister really hits the vital points directly! Powerfully and violently!
Qin Zhun looked at Qin Zeyu, and then at Qin Jiu, before he helplessly compromised. “Okay, I agree.”
