Chapter 1169: Solving the Problem Zhi County bowed his head

Lu Yanshou borrowed 60,000 taels of silver, and the monthly interest can be as high as 10%, which is 6,000 taels. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info please search! Since Shenwu County is a rich county, it is not a problem to embezzle seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver. What I didn't expect was that my predecessor had already thought of it for himself and took all the money for the coming year.

Lu Zhixian had no choice but to invite the county's chief bookkeeper over and ask about the county's situation, and the chief bookkeeper was an honest man, so he told Lu Zhixian about the county's situation. Only then did Lu Zhixian understand that it was not Zhixian who really had financial power in Shenwu County, but the county lord. The county is in charge of the three streets of the Divine Objects County, plus the entrance and exit fees of the four city gates, which are all under the jurisdiction of the county Cheng, and it is not at all within the control of the county. So, Lu Zhixian invited Long Xiao to his inner office.

"Lord Long, this county is new to the county, please take care of it", Long Xiao doesn't have to think about it to know, this county official is a poor county official, maybe he is a person with a butt account, however, Long Xiao for the previous county officials is, one is more greedy than the other, one is more withered than the other, I want to test the new county, if you still say the past, just help him, if you are still the same insatiable, you will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, anyway, no one can withdraw yourself, just wait for yourself to be admitted to the Jinshi in the next year, and you are also a county. It's good to govern the county, and now the problem, you just need to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and you don't care if the county is good or bad.

"Lord Lu, you are joking, you are the magistrate, I am the county magistrate, I am your subordinate, we will do what you say, I am not taking care of you, you are taking care of me." Lu Yanshou smiled, knowing that Long Xiao was resistant to him, so he had to tell the truth: "Don't hide Lord Long's jokes, my official is an official who borrowed 60,000 taels of silver to buy, although I am a former Jinshi, but they all say that Shenwu County is a rich county, so I ruthlessly borrowed 60,000 taels of silver and opened up the ministry, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wait here";

"However, my 60,000 taels is a monthly interest, that is, 6,000 taels, it's almost two months, that's 12,000 taels of interest, if you can't get silver this month, that's 18,000 taels of interest, plus the principal is 78,000 taels, I don't want to do it here, just roll up and cover it, the people in the capital who put the money in the seal are not so hot."

Long Xiao: "What does Lord Lu mean, do you want me to borrow money for you?" The interest of the county's money bank is only one cent, that is, 100,000 taels of silver, and only 10,000 taels of interest a year, which is much cheaper than in the capital. Lu Yanshou's face was embarrassed, Lu Yanshou's meaning was very clear, that is, to borrow some public funds from the county yamen, at least there was no interest, that is, to pay it back later, there was no problem, Lu Yanshou didn't want to borrow money anymore, and it was not a good way to demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Lu Yanshou: "Is there a better way for Lord Long?" Long Xiao just smiled: "There is a land bully in this county, called Ximen Qing, there is a pharmacy at home, and there is a green building hall, there is a lot of silver at home, the former magistrate is cooperating with him, and he has earned hundreds of thousands of taels a year, Lord Lu may as well cooperate with him, maybe he can lend Lord Lu 180,000 silver, if you don't know, I can send someone to introduce you." Lu Yanshou just smiled: "Lord Long said that he was joking, although I, Lu Yanshou, am poor and not a clean official, but I still disdain to cooperate with a scoundrel in a county, which insults my reputation."

Long Xiao still wanted to test it, so he said: "Master Lu, since you say this, I don't understand, you don't want to borrow the money from the bank, the money of the local tyrants and bullies, you are dirty, and the county's bank is empty, so what should I do?" There's nothing I can do." Lu Yanshou saw the light description that Long Xiao said, so he guessed Long Xiao's intention: "Lord Long, don't test me, although I, Lu Yanshou, am not a big man of the blue sky, but I must also be worthy of myself and the people of the place, I just ask for money, but a gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way, Lord Long, I still hope you can help me, you have been in the local area for a few years, there is still a way."

At this time, if Long Xiao didn't help again, the relationship would be stiff, so he smiled and said: "Okay, since Lu Zhixian believes in me so much, then I will solve the current problem for you first, how about giving you 100,000 taels of silver?" ”。 When Lu Yanshou heard this, he happily held Long Xiao's hand: "Lord Long, thank you so much, as long as I turn it over, I will definitely repay you well in the future, don't say anything else, this matter of the Divine Object County, let's discuss it with our brothers, how about it?" Long Xiao smiled, took out 100,000 taels of silver tickets from his arms, and gave them to Lu Yanshou, Lu Yanshou took it happily, and quickly took out 72,000 taels and gave it to the master, so that he could quickly replace the loan sharks in the capital, and took out 2,000 taels to the master, which was regarded as hard-earned money for the master.

As soon as Long Xiao extended his life, he was still good, so he said: "Lord Lu, this 100,000 taels is my personal money, and it is not official silver, but if you can rest assured, when you have money, tell me about it, I am not in a hurry, and I don't want you to have any interest, when the time comes, you can repay my principal." Lu Yanshou hurriedly thanked him, and kept saying good things about Long Xiao, which can be regarded as recognizing Long Xiao.

Lu Yanshou had 100,000 taels of silver, replaced 72,000 taels, gave his master 2,000 taels, and 26,000 taels, which was enough to settle down and live, so he was not in a hurry to make money, so he became his magistrate in peace. It's not that Lu Yanshou doesn't want money, it's just that Lu Yanshou understands very well that his foundation in Shenwu County is still shallow, and he can't be compared with Long Xiao at all, and if he wants to make money, he needs to cooperate with a local snake like Long Xiao, otherwise, let alone making money, even his own officials will not be stable.

But Lu Yanshou is also measured, and a local tyrant and inferior gentry with a bad reputation like Ximenqing have no choice but to stay away. However, Ximenqing didn't think so. After Yuan Yichen was transferred, Ximenqing suddenly realized that Yuan Yichen had played with himself, and the 100,000 taels of silver he gave him were considered meat buns and dogs. However, Ximenqing did not suffer a loss, and the established medicine shop and Ruyi Hall became his own, and he was worthy of the 100,000 taels of silver. Although the medicine shop and the Ruyi Pavilion don't make much money now, but there are still thousands of taels of silver per month, since Yuan Yichen left, Long Xiao put the routine inspection of the Qinglong girl on Qinglou Street in the Wu's medicine shop, and it is not in Ximenqing's Ximen medicine shop at all, this is Ximenqing's income has shrunk greatly, so Ximenqing thought of a trick, that is, to cooperate with the new Zhixian.

Ximenqing asked someone to meet with the new magistrate Lu Yanshou, and as soon as they met, Ximenqing took out 20,000 taels of silver as a meeting gift: "Lord Lu, this is a little bit of the meaning of the villain, please smile." Lu Yanshou has been here for a month, and he already has an understanding of the leading figures in the county, especially people like Ximenqing, who are even more ears-filled, where do they dare to accept Ximenqing's silver: "Ximenqing, although this county is a poor official, but you can't just collect the people's silver, if you have anything, just say it, I can do it, I can't do it, don't embarrass me." Ximen Qingke proposed the matter of cooperative medicine shops, as long as Lu Yanshou agrees, there will be 5% of Lu Yanshou's dry shares, and he can get tens of thousands of taels of silver every month.

Lu Yanshou is not a fool either: "Ximenqing, since the medicine shop is so profitable, what else do you use me for?" Ximenqing had no choice but to tell the truth, and Lu Yanshou smiled: "I understand, you want to use my relationship to snatch business from Wu Dalang's pharmacy, right?" ”。 Ximenqing said yes, and Lu Yanshou smiled: "Ximenqing, Wu's medicine shop is not Wu Dalang's, it is the county Chenglong's, you think I don't know, if I cooperate with you in the medicine shop, isn't it obvious that I can't get along with the county, do you think that tens of thousands of taels of silver can make me have a grudge with the county?" ”。

Ximenqing ate a closed door, since Lu Zhixian did not accept Ximenqing's silver, he had no intention of being friends with him, Ximenqing returned to his home in a huff, and when he was angry, he took Pan Jinlian out of anger, and tossed for a full day before he relieved the fire in his heart. After Lu Yanshou left Ximenqing, he came to the county yamen, and told Long Xiao about it, saying that he was not involved with people like Ximenqing, which meant very clearly. Long Xiao knew it in his heart, so he pointed out a little bit of the way to make money to Lu Zhixian.
