Chapter 1245: Low-Interest Loan

He Lingchuan was also a bit strange: "His family encountered such a thing, and he can still go to the King of Pei to help you pull strings?" "Yu Hai has always been talented, and originally was an official in Lingxu City, so he is very famous in the Pei Kingdom."

He Lingchuan understood. Even if Yu Hai was originally a sesame-sized official, he was still an official of Lingxu City! For a small country like the Pei Kingdom on the Flash Gold Plain, it was a dimensionality reduction strike.

He Lingchuan immediately said: "After you finish these few battles, you should invite these old friends over, and we'll set up a game, how about that?"

Boss Situ He clapped his hands: "Not drunk, no return?"

"Not drunk, no return."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Boss Situ He was just here to lead the charge. With the words spoken, He Lingchuan went with him to Yaopo to discuss cooperation with Boss Situ Yu.

Boss Situ Yu had long been prepared, with several advisors and clerks waiting to help him calculate the accounts.

It is said that troops and horses move, but food and fodder go first. The Boss Situ family was about to start a war and was busy raising money and food. Boss Situ Yu intended to transfer the rental and sales rights of many industries in the territory, such as mines, forests, grain fields, and even road taxes, in exchange for He Lingchuan's rapid support.

Both sides knew clearly that the power Boss Situ family was transferring was great, partly because time was tight and Boss Situ really needed He Lingchuan's help; partly because He Lingchuan transporting money and food to this place carried great risks himself.

If the Boss Situ family lost to the Pi Xia people, the territory would cease to exist, and the money and food He Lingchuan transported here, as well as the signed agreements, would naturally go down the drain.

Wanting high returns naturally meant bearing high risks.

But He Lingchuan waved his hand and refused: "No need. You can use these industries as collateral; you can still manage them as you were. I will lend you money and food, and you can pay it back within the specified time."

In fact, he provided Boss Situ Yu with a large low-interest loan with a long term.

The interest was so low that the few people opposite looked at each other in disbelief.

Of course, He Lingchuan still wanted the large number of most-favored conditions offered by the Boss Situ family, for example, they also agreed that the Yangshan Archipelago's security team and escort agency could provide protection in the Boss Situ territory; Yangshan merchants would enjoy the best tax rates and be exempt from miscellaneous fees, and so on.

And there was a key clause: the West Tao Horse Farm in the Boss Situ territory had to provide excellent warhorses after the war. The quantity and requirements of the horses were all detailed.

The water and grass at the West Tao Horse Farm were good, although the warhorses raised there didn't have the fame of the Chigu horses, He Lingchuan was very satisfied.

The agreement was signed, and everyone was happy.

The Boss Situ family got money and food support, and He Lingchuan got an opportunity.

Both sides got new allies.

Boss Situ Yu looked at the signature on the agreement and didn't know what to say, only after a long time saying: "Island Master He is righteous; Boss Situ will definitely repay you in the future!"

After the fall of Gaopu, the Boss Situ family was struggling under the pressure of all parties, not knowing where the future path lay. He had long been used to the coldness of the world, and suddenly someone reached out a helping hand, almost without asking for repayment; Boss Situ Yu still couldn't believe he could encounter such a good thing!

The support of the Yangshan Archipelago was truly a timely rain.

He Lingchuan didn't stand on ceremony with him: "Good, I'll wait."

He walked the Flash Gold Plain under the banner of a chamber of commerce. Merchants pay, and naturally, they ask for returns.

Before the Boss Situ family's banquet, He Lingchuan seized the time to implement the agreement terms, wrote a letter to the Yangshan Archipelago, and then had the bird demon send it out immediately.

The Soul-Sucking Mirror in his arms hummed: "Wow, so many mines, forests, grain fields, and road taxes, all golden eggs! It's rare for people to take the initiative to transfer them, why don't you want them!"

Only collateral was made, and the management rights were still in their hands, and the income belonged to them.

Watching the silver fly away with wings, it was heartbroken.

"Didn't you say that supporting war is the investment with the greatest risk?" the mirror continued to hum, "With such great risk, you still don't want benefits?"

"A tiny Boss Situ territory, how much output can it have? Even if they are golden eggs, the size isn't big; at most, they are sparrow eggs." He Lingchuan said lightly, "Don't see small profits and forget righteousness."

In terms of total land area, the Yangshan Archipelago is not as good as the Boss Situ territory; but in terms of output, the Boss Situ territory can't catch up to the Yangshan Archipelago even with a whip.

"What righteousness is there between you and the Boss Situ family?" the mirror muttered, "You are too good to them, aren't you?"

"War is most lacking in money. The Boss Situ family transferred these industries to us, and they have no golden eggs to lay; later, it will be hard for them to fight the more they fight, just like the Yuan Kingdom."

The Yuan Kingdom also borrowed money everywhere, all high-interest loans, and when they couldn't pay them back, they used domestic industries to offset them, resulting in becoming poorer and poorer.

Vicious circle.

"They lack money, what does it have to do with us?"

"When they have no pay for soldiers and no grass for horses, and watch us sitting on these industries making money every day while hungry, will they still be grateful for my help today?" Times change, and people's hearts change with them; how long can a favor be maintained? "By then, I'm afraid they will think about how to take back the industries. The Boss Situ family is the local snake here; when they really don't want to give them to you, do you think you can take them?"

"..."

"Even if they keep their word, but the Boss Situ family losing these industries is continuous blood loss; how long do you think they can persist against Pi Xia and the Yao Kingdom?"

"Sigh, then there will be a grind."

"Once the Boss Situ family fails and the territory is swallowed by Pi Xia or the Yao Kingdom, these golden eggs will still be taken by others, and we still won't be able to keep them." The Flash Gold Plain is not the Yangshan territory; their business needs the protection of local forces. "We still have to hope that the Boss Situ family persists longer; being good to it is good for us too."

"So, what benefit do I have in accepting these industries, just greed for the temporary profit?"

The mirror was speechless for a while, only after a long time saying: "Why are you so good to them?"

"Sow melons, reap melons; sow beans, reap beans. Sowing good causes has a high probability of bearing good fruit." He Lingchuan finished the last few strokes of the letter, "Relationships between people driven purely by profit will only leave profit and harm in the end. I help the Boss Situ family to form a good relationship."

"You are good to him, so good that it far exceeds his expectations, so he will be grateful to you, rather than thinking this is the result of his own loss of face and effort to beg for help." He Lingchuan said leisurely, "All living beings fear the fruit, but gods fear the cause. Mediocre people run around for their livelihood and can only calculate the gains and losses of those few big coins in front of them. But you know, how many powerful people scatter money just to plant a few more good causes for themselves? What are they plotting?"

The mirror parroted: "What is it?"

"It's the future, it's for one day."

"Ah, this..."

"Besides, the Boss Situ family aiming their spears at the Yao Kingdom and its accomplices fits my intention, and also coincides with my future plans." He Lingchuan pasted the envelope and summoned the bird demon, "Just for this point, they are worth supporting."

His strategic layout had also begun, preliminarily.
