Chapter 647 Liu Qian borrows money to buy grain

"How is it? Mr. Liu, are my grains all right?"

Shen Yuan ignored him, drank the tea made by his wife, and asked her to sit down quickly.

Liu Qian took a look around and was really satisfied. However, looking at the food in the yard, he was afraid that the amount was still a little short.

"It goes without saying, it's great, but in terms of quantity..."

Liu Qian thought that after they produced some grain, the quantity would definitely not reach the amount in the contract, so he could use this opportunity to renegotiate the price.

After all, the number at that time was calculated based on the highest output of last year, and it was the output of 200 acres of land.

What he didn't know was that even without space, Shen Yuan had enough food.

Because corn is also planted on the terraces this year, the terraces were not taken into account when they signed the contract previously.

"The quantity is sufficient. I wonder if Mr. Liu has enough silver. According to the agreement, I will collect half of the money before the shipment, and you can pay the other half after the grain is delivered."

Shen Yuan gave a reminder.

Paying half first is also a large amount.

Based on his understanding of Liu Qian's financial resources, he could at most pay half of it first.

Sure enough, Liu Qian looked a little disappointed.

Business has been bad in the past two years, and he is afraid that the money he currently has can only pay half of the money.

In the past, he had help from noble people, so he was not worried at all, because the noble people would replenish the money for him.

But now...

Liu Qian looked at the grains again. The temptation was too great. It was a unique business, and he was confident that he could double the money he earned from buying the grains.

As if he had made up his mind, Liu Qian smiled and said:

"Don't worry about the money, sir. It will be delivered to you without missing a penny according to the agreement."

Shen Yuan nodded:

"Okay, Mr. Liu is a man of courage. I will make you my friend."

Shen Yuan was also very generous and personally brought him a cup of tea, which made Mr. Liu flattered.

His choice was right. Not only could he make this big deal, but he could also become friends with Lord Siwei.

No matter how noble the nobleman was, he was not as noble as Lord Siwei.

What's more, he didn't even know who that person was or where he was.

The deal was finalized. Liu Qian couldn't wait to go back and prepare the silver to send over. Shen Yuan also ordered people to pack up all the food and wait for Liu Qian to send a convoy to transport it.

Su Wanwan looked at the piles of food, thought of Liu Qian's expression just now, and smiled:

"Liu Qian is indeed ambitious. He has received the letter and decided to continue the cooperation. He is going all out and is ready to make a comeback with this business."

But judging by the time, Pingnan County must have received another letter advising them to stop, but the letter from there should not have been delivered yet.

"I don't know if Marquis Wu'an has listened to my advice and is going to stop. By the way, has the Eighth Prince really returned to the capital?"

Su Wanwan has always been skeptical about Yun Xian's return to Beijing.

He returned to Beijing just after writing two letters. Is he really ready to stop?

After playing dumb for so many years, are you really willing to give up like this?

"He went to the capital."

Shen Yuan was also suspicious. After receiving this information, he expressed great doubt and even wondered whether Yun Xian who went to the capital was a substitute.

But their people would not make a mistake and were sure it was not a substitute.

Moreover, Yun Xian was not in a hurry, but walked leisurely, as if he was traveling to the capital city for sightseeing, and he still maintained his character of a fool along the way.

Yes, that’s the character my wife was talking about.

If he saw something interesting on the road, he would stop to play with it. He even ran into the ravine to pick fruit and almost broke his leg. He was still such a playful fool.

"Then do you think Marquis Wu'an will listen to him and stop?"

Su Wanwan was also bored and felt that the current developments were a little strange, which made her unable to help but speculate and explore.

"I haven't received any news from Pingnan County, and I haven't gotten the sample from Marquis Wu'an, but I did get some news from the capital. I think you guessed it right, wife."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan became interested.

"what news?"

Shen Yuan did not keep the secret, knowing that his wife was very interested in the secret.

"When Sun Xiaolian was in the cold palace, she did give birth to a son secretly. I heard that the son died young. The time was roughly the same as when Concubine Nong gave birth to her child. I suspect that the child who died young was the child of Huo Xiangxi and Concubine Nong, and the Eighth Prince was Sun Xiaolian's child.

However, there was no evidence of the child swap. The peasant girl concubine loved the Eighth Prince very much. According to the news, she was unaware that her child had been swapped and thought Yun Xian was her own child. Therefore, Huo Xiangxi would not have known that the child had been swapped long ago.

I plan to go and test Huo Xiangxi's attitude in two days."

Shen Yuan had a feeling that he had finally seen the light after getting out of the clouds. If this was true, then the actions of Huo Xiangxi and Wu Anhou could be explained.

Huo Xiangxi thought Yunxian was his son, but Wu'an Hou knew clearly that Yunxian was not Huo Xiangxi's, but his.

But Marquis Wu'an would never tell Huo Xiangxi the truth. He was using Huo Xiangxi to make him willing to work for Yun Xian.

"Then why are we looking for evidence? It's enough for us to know what happened. If we want to be sure, we can wait until the samples from Wu'an Hou arrive and then we can go and test them."

Su Wanwan couldn't help but admire Wu Anhou's thinking. This was a way of killing people and destroying their hearts. He used this to make the Huo family die for their father and son. It was simply amazing.

She had read so many novels, but had never seen such a plot.

I just don’t know if Yun Xian knows whose son he is.

Shen Yuan also nodded:

"Well, I've already written to my uncle, so there's no need to investigate these matters any further."

What Shen Yuan was talking about was naturally how the two children were exchanged. They no longer needed to know these details, they only needed to know the result.

Liu Qian acted quickly. As soon as he returned to the county town, he went to the money shop immediately.

First, he converted all his silver into silver notes and took them out.

Then he borrowed money from the bank.

The owner of the money shop was obviously very familiar with Liu Qian and knew that he was going to do a big business, but he still asked him to use something as collateral.

Liu Qian mortgaged his farm, the land he bought, and even his own house.

He really put his entire fortune on this mortgage.

This time, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.

The formalities were completed quickly, and the next day Liu Qian went to Daliushu Village with half of the silver and the contract.

Shen Yuan took the silver note and immediately asked the villagers to help carry the food.

Liu Qian finally felt relieved when he saw the cartloads of grain being taken away.

Because Shen Yuan was going to the county town, he personally followed the convoy to the Liu family warehouse.

The Liu family warehouse was located in a farm in the suburbs. It consisted of two large empty houses. The grain was carried in and placed in neat rows, and the warehouse was filled to the brim.

Liu Qian did not hide it from Shen Yuan. The Liu family warehouse was not a secret, so Shen Yuan was able to go into the warehouse and take a look in person.

"Mr. Liu is obviously a big businessman, very generous."

Shen Yuan praised generously.
