Draw a charge, beat the hand, a document full of terms for borrowing money, and slowly was put by the ancestor to his mouth to dry the ink.

At this time, the people found that more than a dozen young people walked out of the small door behind the counter, all with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, with childish looks on their faces, as if they were a little nervous and restrained, and with three points of hesitation.

They all look like little scholars.

After these dozen little scholars walked out, they quickly slipped along the counter and stood in a row, the people were outside the counter, they were inside the counter, and suddenly each reached into their arms, took out a pen and paper and put it on the table, and then, with a quiet smile, it made people feel like a spring breeze.

Master Zu dried the first document and handed it to a little scholar, then turned to the man and said: "Although it is a credit loan, you also have to make a document, just like the house deed, this thing is a two-party constraint between the bank and you." ”

The man wiped the ink from his hands, nodded sincerely, and said, "I know, I understand." Banks are the property of our country, and the industry of the country's owner has always been different from others. ”

Since ancient times, there has never been a deed of writing, it is all an oral agreement, and the money is borrowed and taken directly. This seems to be a little unlikely in the eyes of later generations, but the ancients did things so interestingly, even if it was a usury industry that broke down the house, and it was not necessary to make a document to lend money to people, it seems that the word Xinyi weighs a thousand gold, and it is a great insult to make a deed to people.

Master Zu slowly exhaled a breath, and said: "Actually, the matter of making a document, originally your lord did not agree, he has a good heart, he longs for sincerity, he wants to see the world full of people who are faithful, but the poor road ruthlessly poured cold water on him. There are some rules that should be observed, and the precedent of borrowing money and making deeds starts with Bohai Bank......"

Everyone in the room was stunned, and everyone looked at the little shopkeeper with a shocked face.

Their lord Li Yun actually has to follow the rules of this little shopkeeper?

I saw Master Zu slowly spit out again, the light breeze on his face disappeared for the first time, it seemed that there was some pain between his eyebrows, and it seemed to imply regret and self-blame, and he muttered: "It is a good thing to make a document, this is the inevitable development of the times, but Poor Dao knows this, but he sighs with melancholy in his heart, the world that the child longs for is full of people of faith and righteousness, and it is always only the world in his dreams." ”

This self-talk, the voice was extremely low, Li Shimin in the corner not far away tried to listen with his ears pricked up, but unfortunately he couldn't hear a word clearly after listening for a long time, the emperor was a little anxious, and couldn't help but lower his voice and ask Li Yun, and said fiercely: "What is the Ziyang Immortal Master sighing for?" It's the first time I've seen the old-timers look melancholy. ”

Li Yun glanced at the counter from afar, and avoided answering: "Master Zu is sighing, faith and righteousness in the world are worth a thousand gold. ”

"That's good!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded, his expression was very proud, and said: "Since ancient times, the Han family in the Central Plains has a long history, governing the country with filial piety, and passing the world through the world with faith. ”

The emperor's eyes were full of joy, but Li Yun sighed secretly on the side. Does he not know the loyalty of this age? Wouldn't he want to see all the people of the faith?

The faith and sincerity of the ancients can be called a kind of stubbornness, and sometimes even a little pedantic and ridiculous, for example, the poet immortal Li Bai once wrote a sentence in the poem, "Hold the pillar letter for a long time, how can you go to the Wangfutai", which is a real example of faithfulness.

It is said that there was a man and a woman who met under the bridge, and the woman did not come, and the man waited there stupidly, because they agreed on a place to meet, and since they had agreed, they had to wait, but the river rose, and soon the waves were turbulent, and the man still did not leave, but continued to wait with the pillar, and finally drowned in the river.

This is the origin of the long-lasting pillar letter.

Many people who read the poem are not aware of it for a while, and they are likely to resent the woman's breach of appointment, but Li Bai then wrote the next sentence in the poem, which is called Wangfutai.

It turned out that the woman was blocked by the family, so she could not reach the bridge at the appointed time, and when the news of the man's death came, the woman strongly refused the family arrangement, and since then she has climbed a stone platform by the river every day, looking at the place where the man drowned and silently guarded, and finally, died of hunger strike.

This is the faith of the ancients, something clearly written in the poems, not a legend, but a fact.

Such a fact is everywhere in ancient China, for example, a person went out to wander, because of entanglement and lack of capital can only borrow money from a good friend, ancient travel, it is likely to be a few decades, maybe when we meet again, the friend is likely to be gone.

In order to agree on the faith, the borrower smashed a tile, half of which he held, and the other half was given to a friend, saying that if he developed in the future, as long as he saw the tile, he would give back, and the result was really decades away, the reason was that he was developed in a different place, and the friend who lent money to him died of old illness, and the family road slowly fell, and the last orphan couldn't live, and took the tile to find that person, after meeting, there was no plot that turned his face and didn't recognize people, just took out a pair of tiles, Immediately raise it as your own child.

He has been away for decades, but in fact, he doesn't know the child born to his friend at all, and he just abides by the original agreement because of a tile.

These stories are not legends, but things in the real history books, because there are too many such things, there are countless allusions to the Chinese folk because of them.

For example, in ancient times, there was a Zhang Yuanbo and Paradigm became good friends at first sight, so they met again on the Double Ninth Festival a year later, and on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Zhang Yuanbo bought a banquet at home early and waited, and Paradigm was busy with family affairs, until the day of the Double Ninth Festival, he still couldn't set off, the two families were thousands of miles apart, and it was impossible to reach it in one day.

These magical legends about Xinyi are actually processed by real stories, which shows how much the ancient Chinese attached great importance to Xinyi.

"Alas!"

Li Yun sighed lonely and quietly smiled bitterly.

In this era, faith and righteousness are valued, but he and his ancestor want to start a precedent for making documents, which is not the goal, but to change the stubbornness of the ancients.

Whether this matter is right or wrong, Li Yun can clearly know that it is right, because although most of the people in this era value faithfulness, there are still people who turn their faces and deny it, and once they appear, they will harm the righteous people, so we have to change the mistakes of people in this era.
