Forehead......
Gu Jujia was silent!
Qin Yu, you're the crown prince of Daliang after all. Don't you think what you're doing is inhumane? Aren't you afraid of being criticized?
Obviously, Qin Yu is not afraid!
"Of course, I also know that the Gu family doesn't have that many properties. How about this? The ones you bought earlier are lower in value and can be used as collateral. How about that?"
Qin Yu said again.
When Gu Jujia heard that the farmland he had bought before could be used as collateral, his expression immediately became much better. After all, those were wasteland and worthless, so what was the harm in mortgaging them to Qin Yu?
Besides, those arable lands belong to the Japanese. If they can't pay back the money in the end, they will ask the Japanese for money. If they dare not give it, they can forget about the land!
"Your Highness, you are truly kindhearted. Our Gu family is willing to mortgage those lands to you!"
Gu Jujia said.
"Alright! I can make an exception and lend the Gu family two million taels of silver for those farmlands. However, the iron and other things the Gu family needs to forge weapons must be purchased from me!"
"So, I'll just give you the iron ore!"
Qin Yu said.
I lend you silver, then you buy iron ore from me, and make weapons to equip my army. In the end, these weapons are still mine. It's a perfect closed loop!
Gu Jujia felt like his brain wasn't working anymore. What was going on? It seemed like the Gu family hadn't profited at all. Qin Yu had borrowed the money, but in the end, he hadn't received it...
"Your Highness, I will go back and wait for the iron ore!"
Gu Jujia said.
"Okay! Just sign this IOU and put your fingerprint on it."
Qin Yu said.
Gu Jujia looked at the IOU that Qin Yu handed over and was speechless for a moment, because he saw clearly that this IOU was prepared by Qin Yu in advance.
Just fill in the names of both parties and the amount of the loan in the blank space!
This guy is more professional than a loan shark!
Gu Jujia signed and pressed his fingerprint with a helpless look on his face, then left the Prince's Mansion and returned to Zaocheng to wait for Qin Yu to deliver the iron ore.
Three days later, the iron ore was delivered to Zaocheng. Qin Yu was a very trustworthy man, and the iron ore he delivered was of extremely high quality.
"We've searched till death! Such high-quality iron ore is absolutely unavailable in our country of Wa. Gusang, you've done a fantastic job!"
When the little dog Yamaguchi saw such good iron ore, he shouted excitedly!
The Japanese blacksmiths were all very excited when they saw such fine iron ore, but Gu Jujia was very upset. He said, "Prince, these cost two million taels of silver!"
"What?! With so much silver, how could you only buy so little iron ore? If it were in our country of Wa, we could buy at least ten times as much iron ore!"
Yamaguchi Inu said in shock.
"Your Highness, the iron ore from your country of Wa is of very poor quality, so the iron extracted from it is naturally also of very poor quality. The iron ore I bought is of superior quality, so the price is naturally higher!"
"However, this iron ore is obviously not enough. At most, we can only make weapons. Soldiers must wear armor!"
Gu Jujia said in a deep voice.
"You're right. If soldiers don't wear armor, they're like going into battle without pants! Armor must be made!"
"But, besides buying iron ore from Qin Yu, where else can we buy it?"
