"Hey, Lao Guan, have you heard?" one old man asked another old man.
This man was wearing black coarse clothes, with his trouser legs rolled up to his calves, and the corners of his feet and calves were covered with black soil. He looked like a farmer at first glance. The other old man heard from the interview that his name was Lao Guan, and his clothes were similar to that of Lao Guan.
This old man looks like an old man, and the two of them seem to be neighboring farmers who have a good relationship!
Lao Guan was carrying a load of yellow dung and was about to water the vegetables. Hearing the words of the old man in front of him, he paused, but the burden on his shoulders was too heavy. He just slowed down but did not stop, and asked
He said: "Old He, what have you heard?"
"What a good thing!" the old man named Lao He said happily.
"A good thing? Oh, I'll listen to you when I come back from pouring the manure!" As he said that, Lao Guan's speed increased a bit!
Lao He was stunned and quickly shouted: "Hey, Lao Guan, put the excrement down first. If you don't listen to what I have to say, I'm sure you will regret it for a year!"
Lao Guan was a little annoyed after hearing this. Although he put down the dung bucket on his shoulder, the expression on his face told people that if Lao He's matter was irrelevant, he would definitely blame Lao He!
"Didn't your family lose nearly ten acres of land this spring?" Lao He asked.
"Yes, once these ten acres of land are left uncultivated, not to mention the extra official rice required for the war this year, it may be a problem for the family to even have half a meal!" Lao Guan frowned and sighed.
"There is help now!" Lao He shouted.
"Is there any help?"
"Yes, there is a prince and his wife in the city who heard that we farmers are having difficulty with spring planting and want to lend us money to open a shop. Tomorrow is the day of opening!" Lao He said.
"People from the official family? Borrowing money? Lao He, did you accept the benefits from others? How many families in our village were forced to die by the official family from the pawnshop and bank? The money from the official family is easy to get? How can you pay it back?
You say this is good news, but why do you want to drag my brother into a pit of fire?" Lao Guan said angrily.
"Brother, I, Mr. He, have been your door-to-door neighbor for thirty years, and your character has not been seen through by you. If they are all officials who suck the blood of our farmers, will I come to you? You should listen first
I've said it, it's not too late for you to scold me! I heard that this official is the emperor's brother and the wife of Prince Jing. This time she wants to open an Imperial Bank. This bank seems to be similar to a bank, but she doesn't
Like other officials, she opened a shop secretly. Not only did she get the imperial decree and permission to open the shop, but the boss was not only the prince and his wife, but also the marshal, the prime minister, the duke and others. Even the emperor was the boss of the Imperial Bank.
!”
"Hearing this, it's obvious that he has a big background. How could he just defraud a few small money and acquire a few acres of land? The emperor and the Duke and others still despise these things! And how could Marshal Zhongliang come to harm us ordinary people?
!”
Listening to what Lao He said, and the marshal's name is still trustworthy, Lao Guan still doubted: "Although I trust the marshal, but..."
"Hey, please listen to me first. This bank is not like other banks. The monthly interest rate is unclear, sometimes high and sometimes low. It depends on the person's orders. Instead, the bank makes a list and borrows as much as it wants.
The monthly interest is calculated, and I heard that if the monthly interest is not calculated according to this table, or the calculation is wrong, you can go to the bank to compensate, one hundred for one! If the bank does not accept it, you can go directly to the emperor. Today
In the morning I saw a list posted by the emperor at the city gate, and it also said the same thing!"
Lao He didn't know much about literacy, but Lao Guan knew that when the results were announced, there would be servants reading to others! When Lao Guan heard this, he took a breath!
"And do you know what the monthly interest rate written on the bank's table is? This is the most important thing, and it is also what we farmers are most concerned about!" Lao He was still trying to sell things at this time.
"How much, tell me quickly!" Lao Guan asked cooperatively, maybe he really started to care!
"One grain of water per month!" Lao He said proudly.
"What?" Lao Guan was shocked!
It wasn’t that Lao Guan didn’t understand what Lao He meant, but that he was so shocked that he couldn’t believe it!
A grain of water is the karma word for borrowing money in this place, and a grain means one percent.
In the past, the monthly interest rates in Yinzhuang pawnshops were as high as one or two times. After a year of borrowing, the interest rate would have increased to more than ten times, and sometimes it would have increased to hundreds of times. Therefore, many farmers who borrowed money were eventually forced to lose their families. Now,
I heard that the monthly interest rate is only one percent. After a year, it is almost one-tenth. This is a hundred times or a thousand times different from those of banks and pawnshops. How can I not shock Lao Guan!
Lao Guan didn't wait for Lao He to answer, and rushed to ask: "What you said is true, Brother He, is such a good thing really possible?"
If there is such a good thing, then his family's ten acres of land will be planted, and his family will not have to go hungry this year!
Lao He looked at him proudly, and this time he did not give him a positive reply, but said: "I just said that the Imperial Bank will not open until tomorrow. You can go to the city with me tomorrow to have a look. If it is a fake
Yes, no one wants you to buy it forcibly, do you think so?"
"Okay, I'll go to the city with you tomorrow!" Lao Guan happily responded. He changed from the old He Lao Hedi just now to the old brother. This shows how the old care has changed!
After Lao Guan and Lao He separated, all acquaintances they met would talk about it. Soon, everyone in the village knew that there was a kind-hearted lady in the city who opened a bank and did good deeds to help the farmers.
, and also heard that the emperor issued an imperial edict, so the farmers decided to go to the city tomorrow to have a look!
At the same time, nearly a hundred villages around Bauhinia City were spreading word of this incident, and the effect was the same as in Laoguan, so countless farmers decided to go to the city to have a look tomorrow!
And this was naturally arranged by Dongfang Yong. Dongfang Yong asked Yang Xiaoyue to bring dozens of clever boys, and then told them what to say, and then asked them to find one or two people in each village to convince them that Imperial Bank
After convincing them that they are willing to go to the city to have a look tomorrow, they will give the farmers some money and ask them to tell other villagers about it.
That’s why the matter of Lao Guan and Lao He came about!
Dongfang Yong believed in his own strategy, so he never asked Yang Xiaoyue again. After he rescued Zhang Wei's soldiers in the academy, he went to class. The students around him looked at him differently. He had now mastered magic through research.
Poison antidote, an unprecedented act, and he is also a hero who saves people, so people respect him a little!
Going home in the evening, the military leader Dongfang Bubai actually took a walk after dinner and wandered into Dongfang Yong's yard. Then he looked at the Fenglei sisters, his eyes shining, which made Dongfang Yong a little jealous!
But think about it, Dongfang Bubai must also know that the antidote was actually created by the Fenglei sisters, and it is normal to regard them as treasures!
