On this day, many people could not sleep. Many people got up in the middle of the night, picked up their household registration and rushed to the county seat.

The women at home grabbed their men and said: "Don't borrow money so quickly. Ask clearly how much the interest is? You really can't borrow more than 100 yuan a month. You can't be deceived. When the time comes, you will have to bear it."

If we have a big debt, our family will be doomed."

The man from that family replied: "Don't worry, daughter-in-law, we are going with the village chief, and the village chief has told others to borrow it first. If there are more people, we will come to our village later."

The past few days have been very chaotic. In addition to the big guys going to the Yamen to complain about taxes, there are also the evil people in the county such as Gao Sanxiong who want to spread rumors to disturb the people and buy farmers' property at low prices.

It was a matter of new banks lending money at low interest rates to farmers to pay taxes.

The affairs of the new bank are what everyone is most concerned about. Farmers are much more honest and know that going to the yamen to make trouble will be fruitless, so they all place their hopes on the new bank and are counting the days until the new bank opens.

Now four days have passed, and today is the fifth day, the day when the new bank opens.

Clang clang clang!

While they were talking, a gong sounded in the village. The boy from the village chief's family shouted: "Uncle Chang Fu, stop talking. My father asked everyone to gather at the entrance of the village and set off in a quarter of an hour."

, if you go late, I’m afraid people from other counties will beat you to it!”

"What? Are there people from other counties coming? Why should our county's bank lend money to them?!" Chang Fu's wife became anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly asked the boy from the head of Changjia Village.

"Yes, my father said that people in other counties don't have money to pay taxes, so they are all eyeing the new bank in our county. They will also come to borrow money today. We have to go quickly!"

As for why we need to lend money to people in other counties.

"I heard that the new bank was opened by the family of Dou Shaodong, who came from the capital. He does business in the four directions, not just business for us Tianfu County people. He opened a bank in our Tianfu County because he came to buy ham.

"

"Hey, you have to hurry up." Chang Fu's wife did not dare to say any more and pushed her man: "Hurry up and follow the village chief. You can do whatever the village chief does, but you have to borrow money.

ah."

"Hey, hey, I'm leaving now. You take care of your family." Chang Fu hurriedly carried dry food and water, clutched his household registration, and followed the boy from the village chief's family, beating the gong and calling people all the way to the entrance of the village.

When the people from Changjia Village left the village and went to the official road, my dear, they were all torches. Countless torches illuminated the night as brightly as day.

Chang Fu used the firelight to look forward, but he couldn't see the end in front of him; when he looked back, he couldn't see the end either.

Chang Fu was very scared and said: "There are so many people, we have to run away quickly. If we get there late, we may not be able to borrow money."

As soon as these words came out, many people who heard it started to run. When people from other villages saw it, they also started running, and chaos suddenly broke out.

Bang bang bang!

A group of people rushed behind them, holding sticks in their hands and beating those who were running.

Clang clang clang!

The gong sounded, and Hong Dao led the officers and soldiers of the Division of Soldiers to run back and forth on the official road, shouting loudly: "No one is allowed to run! If anyone dares to run, they will trample people to death, and no one will be able to borrow it."

silver!!"

After shouting for more than ten times in a row, he captured the village chief who was running at the front, and sent soldiers to cut off the road ahead, and then he stabilized the crowd that had become chaotic due to the running.

"No one is allowed to run away! Anyone who dares to run away and cause chaos will not be able to borrow money!!" Hong Dao shouted so loud that his voice almost broke.

"Don't run, no one is allowed to run, listen to the military master!" The village chiefs and district chiefs of these villages also ran out to warn the villagers.

Although the villagers listened, they were still very worried and took the opportunity to ask Hong Dao: "Master Jun, I heard that people from other counties will come to borrow money. We will run. We also want to get to the county bank early to avoid the money being stolen from other counties."

Someone borrowed it."

He complained again: "Why should we lend money to the bank opened by our county?"

With a bang, the soldier beside Hong Dao knocked the gong. After shocking the villagers, Hong Dao said: "The new bank is opened by Dou Shaodong's family and Ouyang's family. They can lend money to whomever they want, but everyone

Don’t worry, because Dou Shaodong’s family has already said that they will give priority to lending money to people in Tianfu County. But everyone must queue up honestly. If you dare to rob randomly, not only will you not be able to borrow the money and pay taxes, but you will also be arrested and imprisoned in the Yamen.

Did you hear that clearly?!"

"Really, Dou Shaodong's family will lend us the money first? That's great. If you don't run away, don't run away. We must be honest and behave ourselves."

After getting the word, the villagers were relieved and lined up from village to village to rush to the county seat.

After three hours of hard work, we finally arrived at the county seat at dawn. As a result, the city gate was closed, and Lao Yu, along with Hong Xiaoqi and Team Leader Yang, stopped us at the city gate and shouted: "Get in line, unpack, check."

You can only enter the city after registering!"

Lao Yu is the oldest person in the Department of Bing, and he is the only commander-in-chief of the Department. There is still one vacant post, and Qin Sanlang already has a candidate, and he will be replaced by another one soon.

The position of the general flag.

Hong Dao looked toward the city gate and breathed a sigh of relief. Good guy, he originally thought that there were enough people on the official road, but he didn't expect that there were even more people at the city gate. They were surrounded by a large area.

I can't see where the city gate is.

What Qin Baihu said was indeed true. Today will be a day of great chaos. The folks who come to borrow money are like victims fleeing famine. They must not relax.

"Get in line, put down the swords, guns, sticks and other weapons that can hurt people and prepare your household registration. After the soldiers pass the inspection, they will let everyone go to the city to borrow money!" Hong Dao shouted, explaining to the villagers.

"Why is it so troublesome? When can I go to the bank to borrow money?" Some villagers complained, but lining up to enter the city is a must. If they are put into the city all at once, the new bank will be waiting for these people.

Squeeze it.

"Don't talk nonsense, go first in line, and complain verbosely, you will only have to wait half a day and a day longer than others." Hong Dao said.

After everyone heard this, they could only line up honestly.

"Xu Feng's family in Songzizhuang, father, son and grandson, went to the city to borrow money. Their household registration is correct. Just press your fingerprint here and put down the hatchet to enter. Just come and pick up the hatchet when you leave the city." Chen Shu was in charge of registration.

The official said to the three descendants of Xu Feng, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart, why does this farmer like to bring a hatchet when he goes out? Does he want to defend himself or just want to chop a load of firewood home?

"Hey, thank you, sir." Xu Fengzi took over his family's household registration, held it tightly, and took his son and grandson into the city.

The same goes for other folks.

…

Village chief He also took his son, grandson, and He Tianwa's family, who could not afford the taxes, to the county town to borrow money.
