On this day, the county magistrate Lu Desheng met with a wealthy landlord in Houcheng at the county magistrate's office, with the purpose of paying back the money and paying interest.

It is still the hall where I borrowed money, and it is still the original team.

Lan Bingrong and Geng Yuan looked at each other, and their eyes were about to leave.

Everyone present was uneasy. What they rich landlords were most afraid of was that the officials invited tea or feasted them. As the saying goes, there was no good banquet for banquets.

Before Lord Lu arrived, they couldn't help but whisper and muttered in a low voice.

"We Lord Lu are not short of money again, right?"

"But everything in Houcheng is thriving."

"You are stupid, just Hou Cheng is prosperous and Master Lu is short of money."

"But, we didn't even lend it to the last time-"

Just as everyone was waiting for anxiety, Lu Desheng appeared.

Everyone stood up to greet them.

As soon as he sat down, he reached out and signaled, "Everyone should sit down."

After everyone sat down, he said straight to the point, "When I first took office, didn't I borrowed a sum of money from you?"

Lan Bingrong, Geng Yuan and others all stared at each other. Is Lord Lu so direct? What kind of reaction do they give?

But their Lord Lu didn't need them to react at all, so he continued, "I'll pay you back today. You will take the loan note to settle the account later."

Many people are like ducks strangled. They have thought about how to cry and what position to cry, so that they look pitiful and not hated. Unexpectedly, the purpose of the government invited them to come was to

Pay their money back? Hell!

Someone replied frivolously, "Mr. Lu, we are not in a hurry to see this money."

The rest of the people stared at the person who spoke, he was not in a hurry to use the money, they were anxious, okay!

Lu Desheng waved his hand and said, "Stop talking politely, just follow what I said."

This matter was decided after discussion between the father and daughter.

As the saying goes, it is not difficult to borrow and repay. First, build up your trust.

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all stood up and repaired their hands at Lu Desheng, "thank you, Lord Lu."

Lu Desheng said, "No need to thank you, this is what you deserve."

Geng Yuan exchanged a look with the acquaintance next to him. They all heard the news that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce had made a lot of money in the southern part of the country, which seemed to be true.

The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was established after Lord Lu’s support. Even fools can see that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has an official background.

Perhaps for Lord Lu, the silver was just rushing from the left pocket to the right pocket.

After Lu Desheng finished speaking, he wanted to withdraw. Suddenly he thought of something and stopped, "By the way, can Lan Bingrong be there?"

"Sir, the young one is here!"

"I heard that you have a lot of land?"

"Yes - Yes." I wonder what Lord Lu asked about this? Lan Bingrong was very nervous.

Lu Desheng glared at him dissatisfiedly, "What a slut? Is he scary?"

Lu Desheng didn't expect that he would stare at him, and his legs were shaking and speechless, so he quickly said, "The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce decided to lend you ten threshing machines. Do you want it?"

When Lan Bingrong heard this, he was excited, "I want it, of course!"

He heard that this threshing machine was easy to use, but unfortunately all the goods were sent to Nandi. He wanted to buy them, but he had no choice but to buy them.

The autumn harvest is imminent, and if there are ten threshing machines, it will be a big help.

Lu Desheng: "Okay, you'll prepare to pick up the goods after you get home!"

"Sir, can the young one pay to buy these ten threshing machines?" Lan Bingrong asked boldly. He had a lot of land and if the threshing machine was really easy to use, it would be a big help. This thing will eventually be necessary.

It’s better to have talent, but you can’t borrow from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce every autumn harvest?

Lu Desheng pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, you go home first to prepare for the goods. If you really want to buy it, I will ask you to quote the price later. If you can accept it, buy it. If you can't, you can still lend it to you.

Take one month.”

"Thank you sir." Lan Bingrong hurriedly thanked.

After the matter was finished, Lu Desheng left.

Geng Yuan and others are leaving now, but they are actually shouting in their hearts, Lord Lu, their family also has a lot of land and they also need threshing machines!

But it is obvious that Lord Lu did not hear their inner cry.

Geng Yuan and others looked at Lan Bingrong, the lucky guy with complicated eyes! It was so enviable, jealous and hated.

They all knew that this was Lord Lu’s reward to Lan Bingrong.

When Lord Lu begged for the first time, Lan Bingrong generously donated 20,000 taels of money. They thought it was a meat bun to beat dogs, so they were unwilling to borrow big money to the government, so they only donated two or three.

Qianliang. Even if they took the initiative to borrow money because Lu Desheng became the governor of Liaodong County, it is estimated that in Lord Lu, Lan Bingrong, a fool, was still more important than them.

Later, Lan Bingrong came out of the county magistrate's office in a daze. The government actually paid back the money and paid them interest!

Geng Yuan also got the capital and interest back. After leaving the door, he looked at Lan Bingrong at the last time, shook his head and left. It was such a fool who was so lucky.

...

On the streets of Houcheng, Mr. Ji and Mr. Gu were waving their fans and walking around the street leisurely.

"Young Master Gu, this Hou City is so energetic." Young Master Ji sighed at the crowded streets.

It’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and the people are rushing to markets every three days, which is very lively.

Gu Ershao nodded. Compared with the dire straits of the South, they felt deeper.

Master Ji asked him, "How is your business done?"

Gu Ershao didn't hide it from him, "The number of threshing machines produced by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is not large at present. Moreover, Liaodong County is preparing for the autumn harvest, so they also need threshing machines, and they cannot supply them all to our Gu family."

"But they promised that before harvesting the rice next time, they would drive out the threshing machine we wanted and send it to the southern land."

What Gu Ershao didn't say was that the people from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce told him privately that there was not enough iron ore in Liaodong County. If they could provide iron ore, Liaodong County would charge some processing fees and manual fees. If they could not, provide

The number of threshers given to them must be cut in half, and the price is much higher.

Master Ji said, "I think this proposal is acceptable."

The rice in their southern land is ripe twice a year, and the Liaodong County is ripe once a year. Of course, they have to worry about themselves. Besides, the summer harvest in the southern land is over, and the demand for threshing machines is not so urgent.

Gu Ershao smiled and said nothing.

As they walked, they came to the Xijiao Industrial Park.

Gu Ershao pointed to a commercial building with the elephant emblem of the Ji family and asked, "Which building belongs to your Ji family?"
