Chapter 151
At the same time, the Chen family's grandmother also sat in the carriage with Zhiquan. Outside, the fat man brought several guards and took the responsibility of chasing the car.
This carriage is rented.
Their group had just come out of a wealthy family, and they were a nephew of the old lady's family.
"Grandma, they were so annoying just now. When my third uncle's family lost money in business, they shouted loudly and shortly. You lent them 50,000 taels of silver, but now you don't even want to lend us 10,000 taels of silver."
The old lady smiled bitterly,
"It's nothing. If our Jingshitang had not been confiscated and the sign was still hanging there, let alone ten thousand, even ten thousand taels, they would still be willing to borrow it. Now, seeing that we are forced to do so, I feel that we have offended the palace and will never have a day to turn over again.
I was afraid that we would not afford money and would have no value for it, so my attitude naturally became cold. My aunt's face is not worth even ten thousand taels of silver. Haha, you will remember it in the future. After following Buer, you must take good care of your family and never be looked down upon."
When Zhiyuan heard this, she gave her face, “What is this?”
The old lady also made fun of suffering and joked:
"Buer is good at everything, but he lacks financial intelligence. He spends ten thousand yuan. If Miss Pan is also a mistress who doesn't know anything, then this economic re-introduction will fall on you. As the saying goes, "Eat and clothing will not be poor for a lifetime."
Zhiyuan knew that she was the life of her concubine, so she was not repulsive to the future mistress, just a little shy.
"But grandmother, what should we do next?"
"Now, at least I have borrowed a total of 50,000 taels of silver, but that's not enough. Let's go to the other in-laws to see it. If it really doesn't work, I can only borrow money."
Profitable money, also known as usury, has different interest rates. Long-term borrowing is generally about two cents of profit. If it is a short-term urgent use or a person with poor reputation, the interest may be doubled.
Because urban businessmen can't afford to pay back their profits, they mortgaged a lot of shops or residences.
If it is a rural area, because you can't afford to pay the landlord's money, your own land will be taken away and many people will become landless households. However, in the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if you have no land, you will have to pay the capitol tax.
When the weather is good, you can live a life as a tenant or a long-term worker for the landlord's family. This is a natural disaster, and it will be miserable. There is only one way to rebel.
This is also one of the reasons why every dynasty will encounter peasant uprisings in the end. Ullitation is a tool for the powerful to exploit the people.
When he heard that he wanted to borrow money, the economical chef became a little nervous, "Grandmother, isn't this a risk too great?"
If a family like the Chen family who was searched and without mortgaged property borrowed money, the interest rate was at least four cents. If you borrow 100,000 taels of silver, you will have to pay 140,000 taels of capital and interest in a year.
The clinic makes money, but the expenses of the clinic are also high. In addition, "Jingshitang" has passed down a rule from the ancestors, which only charges costs and does not make profits for poor families.
So in general, Jingshitang's profit was not that high. This was also the fact that after several batches of goods were robbed, the account was suddenly deficient.
The old lady also looked helplessly at the scenery outside the carriage and remained silent. At this time, the fat man's voice came from outside the carriage:
"Old lady, we're at the Pan family."
At this time, the contemporary head of the Pan family, Mr. Pan Bixing, was discussing with his family what the new pattern of the Chinese Medicine Clinic in Bianliang City will be after the Chen family withdraws?
In general, this coexists with opportunities and risks for the Pan family.
Pan Bihe has become the "Prince of the Imperial Hospital" and is equivalent to acting as the second-in-command and in charge of the Imperial Hospital. This is fame.
Therefore, the Pan family can also be called "Pan Yicheng Family". You must know that those who can become medical leaders are all existences whose medical skills have reached their peak. This "Yicheng Family" is definitely a golden sign.
Playing this sign will definitely attract a large number of new patients to seek medical treatment. This is a good opportunity to strengthen "Quanmingtang" and take the opportunity to invade more markets.
But the problem is that now "Gushengtang" and their backers, Prime Minister Cui, are quite aggressive.
The demise of the Chen family was due to Chen Jinsong's own poor medical skills, but behind it was obviously "Gushengtang" and Prime Minister Cui who were promoting it, otherwise they would not have ended up in a family.
Now that the "Yicheng Family" has become the Pan Family, the goal of "Gushengtang" will definitely come to the Pan Family. This is the biggest threat. The Cui Family is unwilling to let the position of Yicheng fall into the hands of others.
Will the Imperial Doctor Pan Bihe also be confiscated due to a medical error? Following the Chen family?
These are things that the Pan family will most likely encounter. At that time, can the "Qinmingtang" bear it?
Originally, it was "Jingshitang", "Qinmingtang" and "Xuanxingtang" that joined forces to form allies, but now there are only two left, and the pressure is even greater.
Therefore, the closing of "Jingshitang" and the possibility of withdrawing from Bianliang is definitely not a benefit but a disadvantage for the Pan family.
Just when everyone was inconsistent, a servant came to report: "Master, the old lady of the Chen family in Jingshitang came to the door in person."
Pan Bixing touched his beard, "The old lady is here in person. It seems that Jingshitang may not be willing to withdraw from Bianliang. Wenlong, you go and welcome him in person."
Pan Wenlong was also a heartless person. He quickly agreed when he heard this: "Okay."
The old lady borrowed money this time, so it was a business matter, so she did not go to the inner hall directly, but followed Pan Wenlong to the front hall.
As a servant, Zhiquan had no place to go, so he was led to a side hall in the inner hall to wait.
After all, he gave birth to a child from a wealthy family. When he arrived at the Pan family, he did not have the same cramp as when Liu Laolao entered the Grand View Garden. Instead, he sat there calmly, just looking at the scenery outside the window, which was a little gloomy.
After a while, I saw several people walking in.
Zhiquan quickly stood up and had a happy life, not knowing how to speak.
Zhier next to him had more eyesight and quickly introduced:
"Don't worry, sister, this is my wife, this is my lady. We want to come and ask your Chen family what's going on now?"
When Zhiyuan heard this, she realized who was in front of her and quickly greeted her again: "I have met the wife and the little lady."
Yu Xiufeng looked at the personal maid next to the old lady of the Chen family in front of her, and was also quite polite:
"Sit down. I'm here to see you today. I just want to ask what's going on with the Chen family now? So what's going on with your Seventh Master?"
The Chen family was confiscated yesterday, which made the Pan family very nervous. Of course, Yu Xiufeng was worried that her daughter would suffer in the future. After all, money is not omnipotent, and it is absolutely impossible to have no money.
