"Negotiable Debt Bills? This ...... Not at all! Who would want such a debt note? ”

Wu Sangui cried with a sad face, and counted Huang Jiang and Su Sheng with his fingers: "Don't look at the jurisdiction of this town, which is not small, but the land in Ganxi is poor, and it cannot be compared with the southeast at all." Moreover, most of the land in this town has been allocated to the following three hundred and thirty thousand households, and the land that belongs to the direct command of this town is only one Xi'an Mansion, in addition to Lanzhou City, Guyuan Prefecture City, Pingliang County, Xining Acropolis, Suzhou City, Liangzhou City, these cities and the surrounding land, as well as some passes and surrounding land, a total of only seven or eight million mu, really can't make a few dollars!

Relying on the income of seven or eight million mu of land, how can it be possible to repay so many debts? Moreover, there is a drought in Shaanxi this year, and there is no harvest in many places! To tell the truth, the town's annual income is not enough to pay interest...... And a town still has to spend, 33,000 households still have so many holes to fill, Wu is really desperate! ”

Huang Jiang and Su Sheng looked at Wu Sangui sympathetically - it's so pitiful, there is no way to live!

But who made you refuse to pull tens of thousands of people south to Tianjin Wei when you were in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen? You're going south, and now it's "Zhu and Wu, share the world"!

"Don't worry, the prince and the new uncle have come to Xiangyang, just to negotiate with the creditors of the prince about a way to make the prince repay the account...... I believe that those creditors don't really want to force Guogong to death, right? ”

"Yes, Guogong has a heavy army, he is really anxious, can those creditors have a good end?"

As soon as Wu Sangui heard this, tears were about to fall, "Don't mention any heavy soldiers, they are all creditors of this town!" What the town owes them is a blood debt! If you don't make it to ......"

He stretched out his hand and made a head-killing pose! Ordinary creditors want money, and these old soldiers in Ganshan are deadly! Wu Sangui's old book was badly injured in the monk Yuan, and he couldn't suppress it a little - there were too many military households in Ganshan Jiangmen, so the few people they died would be made up immediately!

But there are too few Liao people under Wu Sangui, and one less dies, and it will take more than ten or twenty years to grow up slowly! So after the original battle of the monk, Wu Sangui was already a little unable to control the situation.

Su Sheng smiled: "Yes, so Guogong has to continue to borrow, and his reputation can't be ruined......

Huang Jiang asked, "Grandpa Guo, how much debt do you owe in total?" ”

Wu Sangui shook his head: "It's too much, there is interest added every day, and you have to check the account book ...... specifically."

Huang Jiang said: "Say an approximation, don't calculate the interest, just talk about the principal." ”

Wu Sangui sighed: "The principal is also quite a lot, with more than 2.6 million taels...... Among them, 2.2 million are old debts owed last year and the year before last, and 400,000 are new debts borrowed this year! If the emperor does not allow the withdrawal of the feudal domain, the town will have to continue to borrow...... But this interest rate is too high, three points of interest can't be stopped, I'm afraid it will be four or five points of interest! What can I do? ”

Su Sheng smiled: "There is always a way, can the grandfather come with the creditor?" ”

"Brought some, there were twenty or thirty people, all of them big creditors......"

Huang Jiang smiled: "Then arrange for us to meet with the creditor!" ”

......

"Woo ......"

"Wow Wow Wow ......"

"Wow, you're in a bad life...... Poor people! ”

"Blue sky, help......"

"I can't live!"

This is a group of usury creditors crying to Huang Jiang and Su Sheng, two "Qin Cha"!

Their usury has also lost money!

Wu Sangui had no money in both hands, and the Ming court hid far away and refused to take over. What about these usurers? Not to mention violent collection, you don't dare to sue in Dali Temple! And even if you win, what if you win?

Wu Sangui owes a feudal debt, not his personal debt...... This is very clear, the debts are paid! You can't let Wu Sangui return it privately! If this account is really deducted from Wu Sangui, the creditor's trouble will be even greater!

According to the provisions of the ninth volume of the "Da Ming Law" "Household Law Money and Debts": Those who default on debts shall be punished with 10 lashes for three months and 1 class per month, 40 lashes for crimes, 30 lashes for 30 months for more than 50 strokes, 1 grade per month, 60 rods for crimes, and the principal and interest will be pursued to the Lord.

In other words, if the more than 2 million owed by Ganshan Domain Town are counted on Wu Sangui, it will be a slap in the ass...... Who is Wu Sangui? Can't afford to take these sixty beatings? Besides, the people of Dali Temple don't dare to beat Wu Sangui to death! Definitely a gentle pat sixty times to pull down.

Therefore, the debt can only be counted on the feudal town.

If the feudal debts are defaulted and not repaid, Dali Temple will not be able to review...... This matter will probably have to start a war to solve it!

Therefore, the two lines of litigators who followed Huang Jiang and Su Sheng said the clause on "money and debts" in the "Da Ming Law", and a group of creditors were left to cry and beg.

"Don't cry, you have something to say......"

"Isn't it two or three million taels? Since you dare to lend money to the Duke of Jin, you must be making a big deal, as for crying for this money? ”

Huang Jiang and Su Sheng persuaded them, those who should cry should still cry, and of course there are those who don't cry, that is, Wu Sangui's biggest creditor, Jabus, one of the nine great imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty.

Don't look at him sighing in front of Wu Sangui, and said that it was possible for Duoduo to cut off his head...... But in fact he has a way to fill the hole!

Even if Wu Sangui really failed the account, he could find another hundreds of thousands or millions.

Because he has a treasure on hand! There are Ming weapons poured out by the Qing Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers in Qufu...... This is the legacy of Confucius! There are so many rich Confucian businessmen in the southeast, can't they rush to buy them?

So when he saw others crying to death, he just felt a little upset, so he simply coughed a few times and negotiated with Huang Jiang and Su Sheng on behalf of the creditors.

"In Xia Jia Bao, I have something to say!"

Huang Jiang and Su Sheng glanced at each other, and Su Sheng spoke first: "Shopkeeper Jia, please speak." ”

"Don't go around in circles, two lords, let's talk about something practical...... Is this debt still not paid? How to return? ”

Huang Jiang said with a smile: "Of course, debts have to be repaid, and it is natural to repay debts!" ”

Su Sheng said again: "But don't be too anxious...... It's urgent, as soon as the Duke of Jin Guo runs away, the town of Ganshan Domain has no backbone, and it is taken away by the Eastern Captives or Liukou, and you will really lose all your money. ”

"But how can the Duke of Jin and the acting king have the money to pay off their debts?"

It was Zhu Cijiong's "Old Taishan" who spoke, a Shanxi businessman, and his daughter became Zhu Cijiong's concubine, how deep can it be seen?

He knows too much about the financial situation of the Acting Palace, and he can't make ends meet!

Huang Jiang said with a smile: "It is not a question of whether the king of the Jin Dynasty has the money to repay his debts, the question is whether the value of the two feudal domains of Gansu and Shaanxi can be much greater than the debts...... If the value of the two feudal domains is much higher than the debt, the imperial court will withdraw the feudal domain and take over! ”

"What? Will the imperial court really withdraw the feudal domain? ”

"Really?"

"That's great......"

As soon as they heard that the withdrawal of the feudal domain was expected, the creditors stopped crying, and all looked at Huangjiang and Su Sheng and asked.

"Don't worry, the finances of the imperial court are not rich now, and they can't take Ganshan's plate." Huang Jiang explained, "But in the future, the feudal domain will definitely be withdrawn...... At that time, the debts of the Ganshan domain will be the responsibility of the imperial court! ”

Su Sheng took over the topic again: "So now we must find out the debts of the Ganshan Domain, and reduce the interest a little..... It is not possible to pay a monthly interest of three cents, and you can give a maximum of half a cent of monthly interest. And it is not possible to allow the Ganshan clan to borrow uncontrollably. In the future, the Ganshan Domain could only issue bonds through two banks, and the bonds could be transferred, with an agreed date for debt repayment, interest payment and coupon...... As for the old debts before, we must also set a date for repaying the debts, just set the date for the withdrawal of the feudal domain in Gansu and Shaanxi, don't worry, just wait patiently! During the waiting period, interest can also be paid every year. If you need money urgently, you can also transfer the bonds. ”

If Emperor Chongzhen is a good person who is unreasonable, then Emperor Hongxing is undoubtedly a bad person who is reasonable.

He didn't take the plate of the two clans of Gansu and Shaanxi because he didn't have the financial resources to take it.

The feudal town has low operating costs, strong collection capacity, and strong ability to protect the local area. Under the very difficult financial situation of the central government, it can only set up some feudal towns to share the financial pressure of the central government.

But as long as the central government has money, he is still willing to take over the feudal towns, and he will also mention the feudal lords who plug the black hole by the state, and the creditors who lend debts to the feudal towns to give a reasonable return......
