If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Since I can’t use the dowry, I can only sell the shop.

Qin Jingchang remembered that when Accountant Sun calculated the shop and land properties, the shop transferred to his name was worth 67,000 taels.

There is also an IOU for 20,000 taels.

As long as these shops are sold and the external accounts are collected...

In the future, we can still make a living by relying on the remaining shops in the public school.

Moreover, if he sold the shop, it would further prove that his eldest brother's huge fortune was not in his hands.

The two million taels of silver that man wanted could not be cashed, so it had nothing to do with him anymore.

Thinking of this, Qin Jingchang's resentment and anger disappeared by half.

He calculated quickly in his mind: It is now the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still twelve days until the New Year.

The market opens on the fifth day after the Chinese New Year to welcome the God of Wealth. Selling a shop at this time means cutting off one's own source of wealth, which is unlucky.

Shops will close after the Lantern Festival.

Therefore, the fifty thousand taels of silver must be repaid before the New Year.

Otherwise, you will have to pay an additional 15,000 taels of interest.

Qin Jingchang pointed at Qin An Ning and said as he thought: "After daybreak, go find accountant Sun and ask him to go to the pawnshop to ask if the shops and villas that were transferred to our mansion a few days ago can be sold. Tai'er is in mourning and cannot go out, so let Qi Wu take Wen'er out to collect the debts."

Seeing Qin Anwen winking at her, Liu Yinghua asked in a low voice, "So, what about you, Master?"

Qin Jingchang glared at her fiercely and said in a hateful voice, "Are you going to ask me, the head of the family, to sell my shop and property and go to other people's houses to collect debts?"

He can't afford to lose that person!

After returning to the West Palace, the few of them had an unappetizing breakfast, and Qin An Ning went to the East Palace's accounting office.

After listening to his intention, Accountant Sun thought for a moment and said, "Let me know, Master. When the Miss asked me to calculate the value of the store, she referred to the current market price. If you are in a hurry to sell it before the end of the year, the pawnbroker may try to lower the price."

Qin An Ning has always been devoted to reading books of sages, so how could he understand these?

Hearing this, he said indifferently: "It's okay, Accountant Sun, just discuss it with them, and tell my father when there is a result."

Accountant Sun lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully, "Yes."

Just as afternoon arrived, Accountant Sun returned home.

As soon as he returned home, Qin Jingchang called him over.

Accountant Sun copied the store addresses and transaction prices onto a piece of paper and handed it to Qin Jingchang, saying, "This is the price I compared with four reputable and fair-priced brokerages in Jinzhou. It is the end of the year, and business has been bad in the past two years. The sales volume of Jinzhou stores is higher than in previous years, but the transaction volume is lower than in previous years. Therefore, the price is naturally nearly 30% lower than in previous years."

Qin Jingchang's face became darker and darker as Accountant Sun spoke.

Accountant Sun went on to say, "The Second Master is selling so many shops and farms at once, and he wants them urgently, and he wants the full amount to be paid in cash at once. It's hard to find a buyer, and he's trying to lower the price even more. The grain shop on Zhengguan Street is the shop with the best business, the best location, and the most profitable among all the shops in the public palace, but the other party is only willing to give 4,500 taels..."

"Four thousand five hundred taels?!"

Qin Jingchang exclaimed, shaking the papers in his hand, "Why did you calculate the price at 10,000 taels?!"

Accountant Sun replied, "Second Master, when Manager Qin bought this store, he spent eight thousand taels. Later, the store had customers and sales were good. If you are not in a hurry to sell it, in a good year, even if it is 15,000 taels, or even 20,000 taels, there will be people willing to buy it. 10,000 taels is a compromise price."

Qin Jingchang's facial muscles kept twitching, and he asked through gritted teeth: "The grain shop is only worth more than 4,000 taels, what about the rest?"

Accountant Sun bowed and replied, "The others range from 1,500 to 3,000 taels. The people from the pawnbrokers said that if the Second Master is in urgent need of silver, they can collect it on his behalf. But the price is no more than 30,000 taels."

With a loud "bang", Qin Jingchang slapped the table beside him.

He panted heavily and shouted viciously, "30,000 taels? My shop is worth nearly 70,000 taels! Why don't they just rob it?!"

Accountant Sun said calmly, "The people at the pawnbroker said that if the second master is not in a hurry, he can wait a little longer. These shops are in good locations. If spring comes, maybe we can sell an extra 20,000 taels."

Qin Jingchang wanted to cry: What if I sold it for 20,000 taels more?

Still can't fill that hole!

In particular, by the time spring came, the principal and interest had already exceeded 100,000 taels.

And the interest will continue to compound.

In the end, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the compensation even if I sell him.

Qin Jingchang was in tears.

He leaned his arms weakly on the table, lowered his head, and asked weakly, "Tell the people in the pawnbroker to give them the other shops, except the grain shop, according to their prices."

Accountant Sun looked a little hesitant.

Qin Jingchang's heart was pounding, and he asked, "Is it not possible?"

Accountant Sun said, "It's not impossible. The people in the pawnbroker shop want to make money from the grain shop, so they want to buy other shops as well. If the grain shop doesn't sell, the pawnbroker will only give 20,000 taels for the other shops."

Qin Jingchang felt like he was going to vomit blood again.

He closed his mouth tightly, trying to suppress the fishy and salty taste rising up in his throat.

If you don't sell, you won't be able to repay the loan, and the money will become a bottomless pit that can never be filled in the future.

Sell……

Even if all these shops were sold, there would still be a shortfall of 25,000 taels!

Where could he find these twenty-five thousand taels of silver?

Qin Jingchang asked in a trembling voice: "Then, what about the remaining shops in the public house?"

Accountant Sun shook his head slightly and said, "The shops that the second master chose were all those with the best locations. They were also the shops that could make money regardless of the harvest. Most of the remaining shops are in bad locations. If you don't rush to sell them, you can sell them for 60,000 or 70,000 taels. If you rush to sell them..."

He looked at Qin Jingchang's gloomy face and replied softly, "Twenty-five thousand taels is the most."

And that was the shop in Qin Mansion.

All the shops were sold, and it was only enough to repay the loan.

All the shops have been sold, what next?

What to do from now on?

Qin Jingchang propped up his forehead with his hand, he was so tired that he didn't want to talk.

He still remembered that when Qin Shu wanted to sell the shop to hold her parents' funeral, he scolded Qin Shu in front of everyone in the clan:

"Your parents have always loved you, and now that their bodies are still warm, you have already set your sights on the shops and land."

"If you think about it carefully, these land and shops can also be considered as ancestral property."

"Which decent and promising young man would want to covet his ancestral property?"

The words were still fresh in his mind, and he had become the prodigal son who sold his family property.

To be honest, he was really reluctant to sell the shop.

This is the real income that will last a long time!

After selling the shop to pay off the debt, the mansion’s source of income was completely gone.

Without income, how can we support the studies of Ning'er and his two brothers?

If you can’t read, how can you talk about your future and career?

As expected, Qin Anwen also returned empty-handed.

Shopkeeper Lin from the south city was still not at home. It was unknown whether he was hiding from others or had gone out to avoid paying his debts.

Manager Chen’s family just gave five thousand taels a few days ago.

Otherwise, I had no intention of paying it back.

Qin Jingchang thought about it, returned to the main courtyard, and said to the maid at the door: "Go and call the young lady over."
