Chapter 766 How Valuable Is Mr. He's Face?

These people can eliminate the cicada pest once and for all, which can be regarded as a great help to Rongshan Sect. Otherwise, the strange cicada will come back in spring, and Rongshan Sect will lose both people and land, and it will be very troublesome.

We don’t know how to repay such a big favor, and it’s best if He Lingchuan is willing to make conditions.

“How much money does Yuan Country want to borrow from your sect this time?”

Elder Dao was stunned: “This, I have to ask the head of the sect for the specific number.” He is not in charge of this area.

He Lingchuan said seriously: “I want to facilitate this loan. As for the collateral given by Yuan Country, I will be responsible for collecting it for your sect.”

Elder Dao was moved: “Mr. He cares about his country.” He remembered that He Lingchuan was from Yuan Country.

“After all, it is the motherland. If you can do your part, do your part.”

The soul-catching mirror in He Lingchuan’s arms laughed: “It looks like it, it looks like it! I almost believed it!”

With a snap, He Lingchuan slapped his chest.

"I can't make the decision. I have to ask the headmaster for instructions."

That said, Elder Dao didn't look embarrassed. He Lingchuan estimated that this matter could be accomplished.

Then, Elder Dao left in a hurry.

...

Two hours later, Elder Dao returned, accompanied by another elder.

"This is my junior brother, Elder Qian."

As the name suggests, this person is in charge of money and accounts in Rongshan Sect.

Elder Dao laughed again: "Yuan Country asked to borrow 7 million taels of silver in one breath, and sent three envoys before and after, but they were all rejected by our sect. Because it borrowed money everywhere, there were many creditors, and the sect was afraid that it would have difficulty repaying. But our headmaster said that since Mr. He asked, Rongshan would have no reason to refuse!"

Seven million taels? He Lingchuan smiled bitterly: "Headmaster Xue really gave face."

Headmaster Xue was telling him that this favor would cost more than 7 million taels. If Yuan Country could not repay the debt, or the collateral was not enough, then Rongshan Sect would lose 27 million taels!

"You have done great favors to our sect, so a little money is a small matter, not to mention that the business with Yuan Country also involves mortgage." Elder Dao took out the token and documents and handed them to He Lingchuan, "At the same time, Sect Master Xue wants to hire Mr. He as a special envoy to Yuan Country. On the one hand, Mr. He must check for us, review Yuan Country's mortgage, and issue money, and on the other hand--"

He paused: "With this identity, it is also convenient for Mr. He to act in Yuan Country."

He Lingchuan asked Rongshan Sect to borrow people because he wanted to go back to his country to do business. Sect Master Xue and Elder Dao both remembered this, so they made it convenient for him.

He Lingchuan was moved and took the token solemnly: "Master Xue has a thoughtful plan, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

After a few polite words, Elder Dao coughed: "That, the method to kill cicadas--"

He Lingchuan patted Dong Rui on the shoulder: "He doesn't need to go, the cicada mother can go. After all, it is the cicada mother that can be used as bait, not him."

Elder Dao's eyes lit up: "Is this feasible?"

Dong Rui thought without hesitation: "Why not? The characteristics of the cicada mother I have prepared are becoming more stable, and the lifespan is also extending. As long as you continue to reproduce with the existing mother, the bait will be endless."

Elder Dao was overjoyed: "Mr. Wei is very kind, and my sect and Zhuguo will remember it in mind!"

Dong Rui put his hands behind his back, acting like a hermit: "Just tell Zhuguo that this is a method you have researched yourself, don't involve me."

"This..." Rongshan Sect can't do it openly like this to take credit for themselves.

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "He is indifferent to fame and gain, Elder Dao does not need to worry about it."

Elder Dao said generously, "Rongshan thanks Mr. Wei."

Dong Rui still looked unmoved, "No need to thank me, just hurry up and do what you promised us."

He Lingchuan secretly gave him a thumbs up, he played the red face well.

Next, Elder Qian met with He Lingchuan.

Since he has been honored as the special envoy of the sect, Elder Qian will explain the debts and conditions of Yuan Country to the special envoy in detail.

As for the money lent to Yuan Country, there is no need to carry the silver thousands of miles away, as long as He Lingchuan brings a few bills of exchange. Yuanting can withdraw this huge amount of money from Fenglong Bank in the capital with the bills.

Yuan Country and Rongshan both have branches of Fenglong Bank, which is convenient and safe.

Of course, when withdrawing money, not only does it require the handwritten document of Master Xue, but He Lingchuan himself must also be present with the order.

He Lingchuan coughed lightly: "I have to be thick-skinned and ask Master Xue for a power."

Elder Qian: "Please speak."

The two sides discussed and decided to add another clause to the agreement with Yuan Country:

As the major creditor of Yuan Country, Rongshan Sect has the right to send special envoys to the site to supervise and guide the use of every penny lent out -

This is also natural, otherwise what if I lend you money and you spend it carelessly?

How did the money lent out in the past disappear? How can Rongshan Sect not know?

If you don't have the ability to use money well, I have to teach you how to use it.

After drafting this clause, He Lingchuan felt half relieved: "Thank you Master Xue, the two elders!"

He knew very well that this was a generous gift and thank-you gift from Rongshan Sect.

Sincerity, full of sincerity.

After discussing the relevant details, He Lingchuan took the opportunity to ask about the recent situation of Yuan Country.

Although he had heard a lot of rumors from the people and Rongshan disciples in the past month, they were all second-hand information and might be inconsistent with the facts.

Some words had to come from Rongshan high-level officials like Elder Dao and Elder Qian, which were the most credible.

He was about to return to China, so he had to do his homework in advance.

First of all, the internal situation of Yuan State is still not good. Since the death of General Wu Di, the decline of the northwest front has become more and more obvious. Grand Marshal Dong Haoming led the Wuzhou Army to fight more and more smoothly. Ke Jihai could not support it alone and had to withdraw his troops 200 miles.

Yuan Wangting had to transfer Zhao Pan from the northern front to the northwest for emergency.

Zhao Pan is good at defense and cooperates well with Ke Jihai, barely stabilizing the situation on the northwest front.

But while Yuan Wangting strongly supports the northwest and other places are weak, the southern and southeastern parts of Yuan State revolted again. Although the two rebels fought each other, they cooperated well invisibly, robbing granaries, occupying government offices, and issuing official silver, so the team became stronger and stronger. Especially the southern rebels, it is said that there are already 50,000 people.

The origin of this rebel army is only two towns away from the place where the "Saint Master" Hong Xiangqian revolted before. Is it a coincidence?

The last time Hong Xiangqian revolted, he went all the way north, even occupied Woling Pass, and almost took a boat to the east to attack the secondary capital Shihuan City.

This time, the uprising happened again in the south, and the rebels went all the way north, which made the Yuan royal court very worried.

The only good news is that the northern front of Xiazhou has ceased fire, and it will be relatively safe for a period of time in the future.

At least in this direction, Yuan State can breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the traitor that Yuan people hate, former Xunzhou Mu Nian Zanli, has been convicted and imprisoned in Lingxu City!
