Chapter 87 [Loss and Gains]

During the Great Seal period, tens of thousands of words per day were the first update! Everyone can help collect it, and I am grateful!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Silver!" Han Tianci finally said the most worried issue for everyone. He looked solemn, half-squinted, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and slowly said: "The fifth young master needs to withdraw 20,000 taels of silver from the official, how does this 20,000 taels of silver mean?"

In fact, after all, this is the fundamental issue.

The bank in the public is the common property of everyone. To put it bluntly, it is the living expenses of countless people in the direct family, and what these elders are most worried about is the 20,000 taels of silver.

Han Mo sneered in his heart. Of course he understood that the long-winded words before were just paving the way for this last and most important issue.

"Please give advice from the elders." Han Mo said respectfully.

Han Tianci and the elders looked at each other and said earnestly: "Fifth Young Master, 20,000 taels of silver is not a small amount. Your monthly fee is five taels, but ordinary children of the same family are only one tael, and the higher one is only two taels of silver. These are all customized, that is, 20,000 taels of silver is enough for a ten-year period of 100 children of the same family. Fifth Young Master, do you think this is a small amount?"

Han Mo said seriously: "I have never said that 20,000 taels of silver is a small amount. Although 20,000 taels of silver is a large amount, if you do big things, you naturally need to do silver. If all elders can ask me to withdraw 20,000 taels of silver from the public, Xiao Wu can guarantee that he will create benefits for the family ten times in the future."

Everyone was silent for a while, and the sect leader seemed to be asleep, squinting his eyes, leaning on the big chair, without saying a word.

...

The atmosphere is weird.

After a long sigh, Han Tianci slowly said, "Fifth Master, you seem to have a solution to the things we were worried about before, but they are just talking about it on paper. Such a big thing is a major event that my Han family has rarely encountered in decades. I have to wait for it and the fifth master has to think twice." After a pause, he coughed and continued, "My Han family has not lived very rich over the years, and there is not much money to come from. Every penny of silver has its own use. The fifth master wants to pay 20,000 taels to do such extremely risky things. We old men see it, but they are also worried in our hearts."

The elders nodded one after another, and another elder said, "That's right. Now there are not much money in the public, and each family is living a tight life. In order to save a few dollars, I have even smoked less warm fragrance."

When he spoke, the other elders started talking, it was nothing more than that everyone was living a hard life. The money from the public cannot be tossed around, but it was the life-saving money of the Korean clan.

An elder even said, "Fifth Young Master, it's a good thing to make money, but if something goes wrong and you're going to pay tens of thousands of taels, how should everyone make a living?"

"Yes, the fifth young master, who is not my race, will have different hearts. Who knows what their minds are? We can't bet like gamblers."

The originally quiet study room suddenly rang out loud. The elders seemed to be very unified and were all persuading Han Mo not to take risks. Another meaning in the words was naturally not to withdraw money.

Han Mo frowned. He had thought about this result, but when he saw that his wish was about to be shattered, his heart sank.

He suddenly felt that these seemingly solemn old stubborns were so abominable, which made him clench his fists.

It is said that the Han family is united. Now it seems that once the real interests are involved, it is not as stable as a rock. These old guys are considering their own interests, short-sighted, and have no plans for the long-term interests of the Han family.

Like a group of buzzing flies hovering in their ears.

But the identities of these people were there, and even Han Mo dared not show disrespect.

He covered up his inner disappointment and anger very well. His face was still calm, and he even smiled. He looked up at everyone and suddenly asked, "Elders, if Xiao Wu does not withdraw money from the public, if he really starts a commercial bank in the future, will the profits of the commercial bank not have anything to do with the public bank?"

The elders were stunned and didn't understand why Han Mo suddenly said this.

But in the eyes of these elders, Han Mo's incident this time was like a playboy who found a fun new trick, a temporary pleasure. If it weren't for the identity of Han Mo's direct descendants, this clan would not have gathered.

Firstly, everyone agreed that there would be no real progress in this matter, and the fifth young master could not really make any name. Secondly, it was also for his own interests, so everyone had expressed an unsupported attitude.

"If the fifth young master does not withdraw money from the public, he will naturally not force the fifth young master to pay the public center." Han Tianci felt that Han Mo was really a little childish. How much profit could this child bring to the public center? He just smiled and smiled.

These old guys wouldn't believe that Han Mo could really make money.

Han Mo nodded slightly, a hint of undetectable sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he respectfully said to the sect leader: "Master, it seems that Xiao Wu is no longer necessary to stay."

In fact, everyone also heard a little disappointment and anger in Han Mo's tone, but they didn't care. It is normal for a child to have such emotions when he was frustrated, so it would be strange if he didn't.

The sect leader pondered for a moment before waved his hand: "Xiao Wu, you are waiting outside."

Han Mo bowed slightly, thinking that the sect leader wanted to continue discussing with the elders, but he also knew that since the elders unanimously opposed it, even if the sect leader was willing to help him, he would probably have no way.

He exited the door, closed the door, and walked to the small hall next to him to wait.

There was also a lamp here, but there were bookshelves all around, full of piles, looking dim and depressing.

Han Mo clenched his fists, his eyes were filled with strange expressions, and he muttered softly: "A group of short-sighted old guys." Those old guys could not understand Han Mo's mood.

As a time traveler, Han Mo came to this strange world. He was very motivated and would never allow himself to do nothing.

He understood the value of opening the sea route to the Han family, and also knew that after opening the sea route, the entire Central Plains would also benefit. This is a major event that will benefit future generations. He hopes to accomplish this and make his life more valuable in this life.

But his current dream was ruthlessly shattered by these old antiques, and his heart was filled with disappointment.

What he lacks is 20,000 taels of silver. If he has the money on hand, he would not want to look at the faces of these old antiques. But where can he get these silver?

He almost wanted to use the silver from the bottom of Weiming Lake in secret, but he had always been cautious and just had a thought and immediately rejected it.

That money is the root of the disaster. If the Han family does not have the solid ability to deal with that consequence, he will never move.

Who should I ask for it? Looking for Guan Shaohe? Han Mo's personality is destined to not be like this. Since he promised Guan Shaohe, he would bring 20,000 taels of silver to do this, he would not break his promise unless the business was ruined.

...

Just as he was thinking about how to solve the huge problem of silver, he heard the door of the study "creaking" open. He hurriedly got up. In the dim lights, several elders came out one after another, nodding slightly to Han Mo, and without saying much, he left.

Han Mo frowned and heard the low voice of the sect leader from the study room shouting: "Xiao Wu, come in!"

When Han Mo saw several elders leaving the academy, he smiled faintly, and then he quickly walked into the study room, closed the door again, bowed, and said respectfully: "Grandpa!"

The sect leader leaned on the chair, pondered for a while, and then sighed calmly: "Are you very sad and disappointed in your heart?"

Han Mo did not answer immediately, but thought about it before saying, "I am disappointed, but not sad. If I really say sad, I am only sad for the elders!"

"Oh!" said the sect leader slowly: "Why?"

"I am very sad that the elders are very knowledgeable, but I cannot see the benefits brought to our family by maritime trade." Han Mo confessed very much.

The sect leader said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, they are all elders in the clan. You are disrespectful."

Han Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Wu. Don't dare."

A smile appeared on the corner of the sect leader's mouth and said, "Xiao Wu, if the grandfather doesn't agree with your thoughts, are you also thinking that the grandfather will be sad for the grandfather without knowledge?"

Han Mo hurriedly said, "Xiao Wu. Don't dare!"

"Don't you dare, or won't?"

"I dare not, nor can I!" Han Mo replied.

The sect leader stood up and shook his head and said, "At a young age, he speaks very quickly. It is good to be young and energetic, but he still needs to be attentive in his work." After a pause, he said, "You must also understand that they do not agree to withdraw money from the public. But if you can do this yourself, the public will not ask you for a penny of money."

Han Mo was completely disappointed, knowing that even the sect leader might not be able to convince those people, so he could only say sadly: "Xiao Wu knows."

The sect leader walked to Han Mo, stood side by side with one straight and one backwards, carrying his hands on his back, pondered slightly, and then said solemnly: "How sure are you doing this business?"

Han Mo was stunned, then a glimmer of hope arose in his heart, and he said confidently: "At least 70%!"

"There are five achievements to try." The sect leader said calmly: "Xiaowu, you are still young and the road is still long. There will be more setbacks in the future than this. I hope that when you encounter setbacks, don't give up, dare to face setbacks and face difficulties. Remember, the men of the Han family have no obstacles that cannot be overcome!"

"Yes!" Han Mo's disappointment was immediately replaced by excitement.

"Who is Qingshang?" the sect leader suddenly asked, his voice very solemnly.

"One named Guan Shaohe."

"Are you sure it's reliable?"

"At least he and I can do this business."

"Yeah!" The sect leader nodded, turned around and walked back to the case, sat down again. He opened the mezzanine of the case, took out a few items, put them on the table, and said, "Xiao Wu, take these first!"
