As soon as Jia Rui entered the office room, Wang Yimu came in.

Wang Yimu has always been a scribe before, and he belongs to the ranks of Xu officials, and this time he became an official, that is, an official.

Although the rank is not high, he is also an official official of the imperial court.

If a Xu official can get mixed up to this point, it can be regarded as a great success.

He was able to be promoted, largely thanks to Jia Rui's recommendation, so he is very grateful to Jia Rui.

"Commander, did the guerrilla Li come here to collect debts?"

"Yes, this matter, I was calculated by several other soldiers and horses, and Lord Xu, but I didn't expect that I didn't plan to do it, and the patrol camp actually wanted to find it by itself."

Jia Rui gave a brief introduction to what had happened.

"Wang Zhimu, what can you do if you don't have it?"

"I've heard about this, and it's really a big problem. But it's not like there's no way at all. ”

"What can you do? Now I'm preoccupied with this. ”

"It's a matter of course to pay back debts. As long as one of these families pays back, the remaining few will be under pressure. ”

"But everyone is very tough."

"That's not necessarily, for example, in a place where the literati of the country are gathered, there is always something decent, right? Besides, Guozijian is not short of money. ”

"You mean, pick the fat sheep first, and the persimmon first pick the soft pinch?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Guozijian belonged to the highest institution of learning in the empire and was also the education management department. Whether it is a teacher or a student, they are all literati, not like the patrol camp and the Beijing camp, they are all soldiers, and they are relatively thin-skinned. Somewhat scruple about some decency.

Shang Baosi in the Shuntian Mansion and the palace is relatively thick-skinned.

But no matter which one it is, it is all in Shenjing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Since it is a place where yamen and officials gather, no matter which yamen, you must take care of your own decency.

That's their weakness.

Therefore, if you can make things bigger, and make the emperor, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and the people of the capital full of wind and rain, those old men can't withstand the pressure of public opinion, and they may pay back the money in the end.

Once this is done, it will also be a warning and deterrent to other old men.

Of course, how to create public opinion is a very technical job.

It is now a common phenomenon that the government owes money to merchants. Not only the patrol camps, but also many yamen have this virtue.

If one is not careful, he may offend a large number of people and become the target of various yamen.

"We need an excuse for this."

The king scribe said unhurriedly.

"What excuse?"

"This excuse should be able to arouse the sympathy of everyone, such as those businessmen can't get by, they are entangled in money, and there are elderly people in the family who have no money for medical treatment."

Can't get by?

I see that Luo Zhang, the shopkeeper, and a few of them are living quite nourishingly, and they don't seem to have reached the point of exhaustion.

"Okay, let me think about it."

"If the commander can accomplish this, it will indeed be of great merit."

What kind of merit do you want, don't seek merit but seek no fault, and I will be content.

Jia Rui pondered for a while and went out, and soon arrived at the drunken flower restaurant of the shopkeeper Luo.

"Ouch, Commander Jia, please sit down, but the debt collection matter is eyebrow-raising?"

Shopkeeper Luo greeted him warmly.

"You bring the rice shopkeeper and Lu Dongjia, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, okay, I'll go."

All in the market, the three of them quickly gathered.

"Just now, Li Guerrilla from the patrol camp came to me and told me to leave me alone. I thought about it for a while, this matter really has nothing to do with me, I just don't care about this matter, it's just thankless. ”

"They are all big yamen, and none of them are more powerful than the Terracotta Division, and I really can't control it. Therefore, you have to figure out how to collect debts. ”

"Don't, Commander Jia, we're all up to you."

"yes, we can't get by."

"You can't get by? I don't see it. I see that you are living a very nourishing life. Whether the money can be returned or not seems to be irrelevant. ”

"No, we really can't get by. Nowadays, they are all pretended, that is, they are pretending to be rich, otherwise other people's goods will not dare to give us credit. ”

"Also, many people don't have any capital at all, and now they sell inventory. When the inventory is sold out, there is no money to buy it, and the family can't open the pot. ”

"I know your business is difficult, but just by what you say, who knows to outsiders? Okay, I'm going to ask for money for you, what am I going to do? In my errand of the Terracotta Division, there is no such thing as collecting debts for others. ”

"Of course, you have difficulties, and I can't ignore them, but, ah, you understand."

What do we understand, why do I sound more and more confused about your words?

You don't want to care, and you say that you don't care, do you care or don't care?

"Master Jia. No, Commander Jia, what are we going to do so that you will take care of us? ”

Shopkeeper Luo asked cautiously.

"Yes, we're confused, just give me an explanation."

I understand it, but I can't explain it to you.

Otherwise, wouldn't it have become a conspiracy between me and you to blackmail other yamen, and how will I mix in the officialdom of the capital in the future?

"Recently, our Dongcheng Terracotta Division will hold an activity in your market, which is called integrity management activities."

"Anyone who defrauds customers and owes others money and does not give it is a dishonest act, and will be included in the list of dishonest people, reminding the majority of customers and merchants to pay attention."

"That's a good thing, but what does it have to do with our debt collection?"

Lu Dongjia didn't understand this truth.

"You may owe money to others, this is dishonesty, and you may be included in the list of dishonest people."

"We don't owe money to anyone. Credit is our life, without credibility, we can't do anything, and we don't have the face to see people. ”

"Yes, business integrity is the foundation, if you have no reputation, you might as well die."

Three stupid people, they all said it themselves, and they still don't understand.

"Yes, you owe money to others, and you don't have the face to see people, so you die, or hang yourself, or throw yourself into the river, in short, there are many ways to die."

"After you died, your family and colleagues in the market were very angry, so they went to the Yamen of the Imperial History of the City Patrol, or the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses, to administer justice to you."

"Why? Because you are wronged, it's not that you don't want to give money, but someone owes you money and doesn't give it, and you have no way out, so you have to die. ”

"Of course, sometimes it's not so easy to want to die, such as just hanging yourself, being found by someone else and being saved."

"Also, you all have wives and children at home, don't you? Need to be fed, right? There is a high hall in the family, so you need to be honored, right? When your parents and grandparents are old, they will always be a little sick, so they have to spend money on medicine, right? ”

"But I don't have any money in my hand, I can't honor the old man, it's better to die."

"Actually, it's not so terrible to die, like me, who died for seven days and came back to life. It's not like you can die if you want to. ”

"Okay, figure it out for yourselves, I'm leaving."

Jia Rui got up and left, and it wasn't until he was out of the house that a few guys reacted.

I wanted to send it off, but Jia Rui had already gotten on his horse and walked away.

Back in the house, several guys looked at each other.

"Do you understand what he means?"

Shopkeeper Luo asked.

"It seems to be understood, he seems to have told us to die once."

Lu Dongjia felt that he had touched the doorway.

"It's just to die once, and then everyone goes to the yamen to make trouble, and make things bigger, so he can come forward to help us."

The shopkeeper made it clear this time.

"It is said that he is willing to come forward, which can be regarded as difficult for him. But I'm afraid I'll die if I don't happen to die. ”

Shopkeeper Luo said worriedly.

"Yes, we don't necessarily have the luck of him, we can still come back to life if we die."

"He didn't tell us to really die, he just scared people, I don't think there is any other way but to get out."

Lu Dongjia said fiercely.
