The news of Mo Jiazi borrowing money came out of the blue. When Mo Jiazi's visiting card was sent to all the major banks in Chang 'an, all the managers gathered together to discuss.
"Is Mo Jiazi suspecting that we have fake banknotes? That's a great injustice! That's … "A manager of a bank quickly shut his mouth, fearing that trouble would come out of his mouth.
"According to our sources, the Mo Family Village is indeed facing financial difficulties recently. It's understandable that they want to borrow money." Manager Yao of the Huitong Bank said hesitantly.
"Then isn't this our chance?" The managers of the banks held their breath. No one in Chang 'an City doubted Mo Jiazi's ability to make money. If they could get Mo Jiazi to borrow money, wouldn't he become their money-making machine?
Thinking of this possibility, everyone held their breath.
However, a manager in green sneered, "Mo Jiazi is a relative of the royal family. If he can't pay up, can you come here and ask him to pay up?"
The managers of the banks felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them. The bank's way of dealing with ordinary people who couldn't pay up was to force them to pay up. But to ask a relative of the royal family to pay up? They must be tired of living.
"What are you afraid of? Are you saying that only Mo Jiazi has someone behind him, and we don't? If Mo Jiazi dares not to pay up, we can ruin his reputation. "Manager Yao said proudly. Not everyone could give out banknotes. It had to be the local rich and powerful. Which bank didn't have a dense chain of interests behind them?
"Yes, Mo Jiazi is a person who cherishes his reputation. He definitely won't do anything treacherous." Another manager agreed. With their years of experience in giving out banknotes, they knew that people like him were easier to ask for.
The manager in green shook his head and said, "I hope so. But it's impossible for us to deal with Mo Jiazi the way we deal with ordinary people."
Immediately, all the shopkeepers fell silent. Shopkeeper Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Then we'll deal with it as we see fit."
"In that case, let's go meet the famous Mo Jiazi of Chang 'an." All the managers spoke in solemn voices, and then they discussed for a while before leaving successively and asking for instructions from the people behind them.
In the burning underground secret room, Old Craftsman Liu threw the failed banknotes into the furnace in disappointment.
"Boss, the second generation banknotes of the Village Mo's Village are too precise. Please forgive me for my incompetence. I'm afraid that I won't be able to forge them in a short period of time." Old Craftsman Liu said with a terrified face.
The second master of the Qian Family couldn't help but sigh regretfully. Since Mo Jiazi had the confidence to change, he had some confidence that they wouldn't be able to solve it. He had already expected this, but he still couldn't hide his disappointment.
"It doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about other things. You just need to continue deciphering!" The second master of the Qian family waved his hand and then walked out of the underground secret room with a gloomy face.
"Mo Jiazi is indeed difficult to deal with!" The second master of the Qian family said with hatred.
At this moment, a familiar figure hurried over. This person was the former shopkeeper of the Yuan Xiang Bank, Cao Guangqi. Now, Cao Guangqi had shaved his head. He had taken off his previous shopkeeper's robe and changed into the Mo family's black robe. His entire appearance had changed, and he looked like a loyal supporter of the Mo family. No one would have thought that this person was the shopkeeper of the Yuan Xiang Bank, who had caused the Village Mo's Village to suffer a great loss.
"Second master, great news! There's news from Chang 'an City. Mo Jiazi has gathered all the major banks in Chang' an City and is going to borrow money from them. "Cao Guangqi said with a look of surprise.
"Mo Jiazi is going to borrow money from them?" The second master of the Qian family said doubtfully.
Cao Guangqi nodded and said, "This news has already spread to all the major banks in Chang 'an City. It must be that our previous trick worked. The Village Mo's Village is short of cash, so they are going to borrow money from them."
"Hahaha! Mo Jiazi, you finally have a day like this! " The second master of the Qian family laughed heartily. Being able to make the famous Mo Jiazi bow his head to the Qian family, the second master of the Qian family immediately felt proud of himself.
"There's news from Chang 'an City, asking whether to lend money to Mo Jiazi." Cao Guangqi asked.
"Lend? Why not? How can the Ziqian family not earn money? Send a message to Chang 'an City. If the Mo family can lend him the money, we'll help him. If not, we'll destroy him!" The second master of the Ziqian family said coldly.
Just as Meton expected, there were indeed puppets of the Qian family in these banks, or the Qian family in these banks.
"Yes, second master!" Cao Guangqi replied.
As time went by, the news that Mo Jiazi was going to borrow money from the Qian family spread quickly in Chang 'an City, and everywhere it went, there was an uproar.
"Mo Jiazi is going to borrow money from the Qian family? How is that possible? " Everyone who heard the news could not believe it. In their hearts, Mo Jiazi had always had the ability to turn stone into gold, and seemed to have never been short of money. They did not expect that even Mo Jiazi was going to borrow money from the Qian family.
"Sigh! It's all because of the fake banknotes. The Mo family had to pay 20,000 strings of coins just to compensate those who were cheated, and it even affected the reputation of the banknotes. In addition, the Mo family spent a lot of money, which led to today's situation. "An insider explained.
"Even so, you can't borrow money from the Qian family! Anyone who gets involved in the Qian family's affairs will be peeled off. The prodigal son of the Wang family in the east of the city borrowed money from the Qian family and ruined his entire family business. The old man Huang in the west of the city borrowed money from the Qian family to treat his illness, and in the end, he sold his daughter … "
One by one, the people talked about the examples of families in Chang 'an City that were ruined because of the Qian family's money.
"Mo Jiazi has the ability to turn stone into gold. Maybe it's just a short turnaround, and he can pay it back when the time comes." Some people still believed in Mo Jiazi, who could create miracles, and said firmly.
"I don't think so. Even Mo Jiazi might not be able to pay back the Qian family's money." Another person objected.
Some of the people in Chang 'an City objected, while some believed in Mo Jiazi. However, the merchants in Chang' an City all remained silent. Merchants were the ones who needed money the most, and it was normal for them to borrow money from each other. They would even take the risk to borrow money from the Qian family as a last resort.
If even Mo Jiazi was defeated by the Qian family's money, who else could escape from the Qian family's clutches?
In an instant, the eyes of the people in Chang 'an City were focused on the Mo family and the big banks. Even the palace had heard about it.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial from the Chang 'an county government. The fake banknote case has been closed." Pande respectfully handed a memorial to Li Shimin.
"The case is closed because of a small shopkeeper!" Li Shimin took a look at it and could not help but sneer. He casually threw the memorial to one side.
"It's said that the prince consort has also agreed to close the case." Pande bowed his head and said.
"Meton was forced by the situation. The longer it dragged on, the greater the damage to the credibility of the banknotes. Only by closing the case and ensuring that the second-generation banknotes would not be fake for a short period of time can the bank return to normal." Li Shimin saw through Mo Jiazi's plan at a glance.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Pande complimented.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Meton is used to everything going smoothly. It's good to let him suffer a little in the hands of the Qian family."
Pande hesitated and said, "Speaking of the Qian family, there is another piece of news in Chang 'an City. It is said that the Mo family is short of money recently and the prince consort is preparing to borrow money from the big banks in Chang' an City."
"I didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn. He would rather borrow money than bow to me." The corners of Li Shimin's mouth curled up as he sneered. If Modun were to lower his head to him and use the three hundred thousand strings of string of cash, for the sake of Princess Changle, he would not allow it.
Pande frowned and said, "Your Majesty, that is the Qian family's money. Once it is tainted, it will be difficult to get away."
"You don't have to worry about that. Meton is very slippery. Naturally, he has already been taken advantage of by the Qian family once. How can he fall at the same place twice?" Li Shimin did not believe that Meton would obediently allow the Qian family to exploit him.
In the midst of the discussion, Meton finally arrived at the appointed time with the big banks.
Yu Zhuangyuan's Restaurant had already closed its doors and was waiting for the managers of the big banks to come.
Just as the time was about to arrive, a shabby carriage quietly stopped. Shopkeeper Yao, who was dressed in coarse clothes, stepped out of the carriage. At the same time, shopkeepers who were dressed in simple and plain clothes appeared one after another. Some were riding on thin old horses, some were getting off from four-wheeled buses, and some were even walking over.
Almost all of them were dressed in plain clothes. If they were in Chang 'an City, they would be worse than ordinary people. They did not look like managers of big banks who controlled huge amounts of money. Everyone looked at each other and tacitly handed over the invitation letter in their hands. They walked into Yu Zhuangyuan's Restaurant.
"Greetings to all of you!" Shen Hongcai, who was in charge of the reception, cupped his hands and bowed. Both banks and banks dealt with money. It was not inappropriate for Shen Hongcai to address the managers of the big banks as his peers.
"We dare not! We dare not! Teacher Shen is an expert in the field of mathematics. Furthermore, he was bestowed with the title of Imperial Scholar by the imperial court. How can I, a lowly person, be compared to Teacher Shen? "Shopkeeper Yao suddenly looked terrified. The other shopkeepers also stepped aside and bowed.
Mister Shen smiled and said, "You are all too polite. When it comes to money, I am just a newcomer. You are all pioneers. Although you work in the big banks, it is inevitable that you are proficient in mathematics. It is not wrong to say that you are in the field of mathematics. You and I are proficient in mathematics and dealing with money. If we are not in the same field, then what are we? "
"Mister Shen is too kind!" The manager in green clothes said.
The managers could not help but feel proud. Although they did not have high positions, they were indeed masters of mathematics to be able to become managers of the big banks.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" Shen Hongcai waved his hand and invited everyone into Yu Zhuangyuan's restaurant.
The managers of the big banks sat down and looked at each other. The manager in green clothes stood up and said, "Mister Shen, although I admire your knowledge and status, I am afraid that you are not able to make the decision on the bank's loan. Where is Merton? Please introduce us to him. We have long heard of the legend of Chang 'an City."
The other managers of the big banks nodded. Although Shen Hongcai was the manager of the bank in the Mo Family Village, he was not the head of the bank in the Mo Family Village.
Shen Hongcai did not care at all and said, "Of course. I am just throwing a brick to attract more jade. The one who is going to discuss the loan with you is Merton."
After that! Shen Hongcai turned around and a young face appeared in front of everyone. Everyone was shocked and immediately realized that this young man was probably the host today, Mo Jiazi.
Although Mo Jiazi had suffered a great loss recently in the hands of the Qian Family, no one present looked down on him. It was not possible for an ordinary person to lead the recovery of the Hundred Families at such a young age.
"Greetings, Merton!" The managers stood up and bowed.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" Meton waved his hand and said.
"We don't dare, we don't dare." The managers declined.
Meton took the lead and sat down. The managers then sat down.
"I believe all of you are already aware of the reason why I've gathered all of you here today." Mo Dun glanced at everyone and spoke in a clear voice.
The managers of the big banks nodded.
"Merton is the pride of Chang 'an City. As long as Merton gives the order, we will definitely comply!" A manager said politely.
"That's right! Merton can just tell us how much money he needs. My Huitong Bank will definitely bear it. "Manager Yao said proudly.
"Shopkeeper Yao, you're being too polite. Marquis Mo's matter is everyone's matter. How can we trouble Huitong Bank alone? My Jufeng Bank is also duty-bound." The green-robed shopkeeper hurriedly said when he saw that Shopkeeper Yao wanted to take all the credit for himself.
"That's right, I can also bear a part of it."
The other managers also chimed in. No one was willing to give up the delicious meat of the Mo Family Village.
Meton looked around and revealed an inexplicable smile. "Everyone is so considerate. I thank you on behalf of the Mo Family."
"Well said, well said. How much does Merton want to borrow?" Manager Yao saw that he could not take all the benefits and said helplessly.
"One hundred thousand strings of cash!" Modun threw out this sentence lightly.
"Well said, my Jufeng Bank … How much?" Manager Yao was about to take all the credit when he suddenly realized that something was wrong and could not help but exclaim.
"One hundred thousand strings of cash!" Meton said one word at a time.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. It wasn't that they hadn't received Yin Ziqian before, but they had never received such a large sum before. At this moment, they finally understood why Morton had gathered all of them here. No one would be able to handle such a large sum.
