Dai Wang asked vigilantly: "Township Chief Mo, how much will you have to repay after a year if you borrow your family's grain?" ”

"The folks in the big hometown originally wanted you to pay back four times, but forget it, pay it back three times." Mo Weibao shouted excitedly.

"What? We don't borrow anymore. The other lieutenants shouted.

Song Wenjian was surprised: "Township Chief Mo, aren't you lending to farmers for free?" Folks in your hometown, are you embarrassed to ask for interest? ”

When Mo Weibao heard Song Wenjian say this, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

Mother, I gave you two hundred taels of silver just now, why don't you say something good for me?

"Yes, yes, Township Chief Mo, you won't charge us interest." Dai Wang's eyes lit up, and he immediately echoed Song Wenjian's words.

"No, my family has a big business, and I have so many people under my hands, you can pay me back two times and five." Mo Weibao gritted his teeth, thinking that this was his lowest bottom line. "If you don't want to borrow it, forget it."

Dai Wang and the others saw that Mo Weibao had reduced some interest, and their hearts were a little moved.

If it weren't for Song Wenjian's proposal of ten stones a year per mu, they would definitely not accept Mo Weibao's interest.

But Song Wenjian gave them hope and felt that they could fight.

"Township Chief Mo, let's do it, the farmer will pay you back one and five times." Song Wenjian said.

"What? No way. "If it weren't for the fact that there was still a lieutenant next to him, Mo Weibao would have thought about getting the two hundred taels back now.

Song Wenjian smiled: "The farmers can't pay the grain, they are going to be soldiers, do you have any benefits?" ”

"This ......" Mo Weibao is afraid that the farmers will become soldiers.

If he pays less taxes and grain, where will he get any benefit then?

"In addition, you can't collect taxes and grain, can you still be the head of this township next year?" Song Wenjian continued to point at Mo Weibao. "This Yangqing Township is not just you a gentry, there are other gentry staring at the position of the township chief."

"Ah, they want to fight me too?" Mo Weibao was a little panicked.

Song Wenjian gave Zheng Sike a look, and Zheng Sike whispered knowingly: "Township Chief Mo, Master Su Botong went to the yamen yesterday to run a relationship, saying that you couldn't complete the collection of taxes and grains this time, and secretly gave you eye medicine." ”

"What? Old man Su dares to shadow me behind his back? Mo Weibao was furious.

This old man Su is also a famous gentry and a wealthy man in Yangqing Township.

Mo Weibao was a little panicked, this sense of crisis made him not as tough as just now.

Song Wenjian saw that Mo Weibao's face changed, and knew that his method had worked.

Originally, Song Wenjian wanted his father to use Master Su to threaten Mo Weibao, but he thought that his father might not be able to lie, so he had to let Menzi say it.

Sometimes what Menzi says represents the meaning of his own adult.

Song Wenjian sneered: "You don't have the ability to complete the task of collecting taxes and grains, so let Master Su be in charge." ”

"No, I have the skills." Mo Weibao was ruthless. "Lord Song, you have to help me sign the contract, I will help them pay the grain, and after a year, I will pay double and five, and I will use their farmland as a mortgage."

Mo Weibao didn't believe that Song Wenjian's statement that one mu of ten stones a year was true, he thought it was Song Hua's trick, and wanted to deceive farmers into borrowing grain from him to complete the tax payment task.

Song Hua is not simple. Mo Weibao sighed in his heart.

first fooled the elders to harvest ten stones a year per mu, and then forced him to use a rent of one and a half to lend grain to the farmers, he and the farmers both lost, and only Song Hua was the final winner.

That's it, I have to make money anyway, it's better than being the last fisher of Subo.

Song Hua didn't expect such a tricky matter to be solved by his son like this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly discussed some details with Mo Weibao and them, and asked the lieutenants to go back and mobilize, and it was best to sign a contract in the next few days.

The annual rent is five times that is neither high nor low, and it can be accepted by both parties, so Song Hua feels that there is no problem.

"Lord Song, as soon as you return to the county yamen, you will say that the task of paying taxes and grain in our Yangqing Township is about to be completed, don't let Su Botong take advantage of the loophole." Mo Weibao shouted angrily.

Song Wenjian hurriedly said: "Township Chief Mo, don't worry, you sign the contract first in the next few days, don't make a noise, let those people laugh at us, jump a few more, and then we will jump out and slap them in the face, wouldn't it be a cool thing?" ”

Song Wenjian wanted to slap Chen Huatao in the face, how could Mo Weibao say it so early?

In two days, there will be a good show.

"That's right." Mo Weibao patted his thigh and stood up, and said to Dai Wang: "Don't make a noise, let Su Botong be a clown." As long as he loses face in front of the county magistrate, he will not have the opportunity to compete with me for the township chief in the future. Hmph, after this month, I'll find another opportunity to fix him. ”

Song Wenjian said again: "Township Chief Mo, the fact that Master Su Botong wants to be the township chief is just our speculation, there is no evidence, and you can't put it on the stage to say." ”

"I understand this, I am also rectifying Subotong offstage, not on stage." Mo Weibao touched his chin.

The corners of Zheng Sike's mouth twitched secretly, the young master is really powerful. It's just that as soon as I came to Yangqing Township, the matter was solved.

Poor Su Botong, who was yin by the young master, doesn't know who is yin him.

Song Hua and the others were going back to the county seat, Mo Weibao didn't dare to underestimate Song Hua, and asked the servants to bring some sustenances over.

Originally, Song Hua wanted to say no, but Song Wenjian spoke in advance and asked Zheng Sike to load the car, and the carriage was loaded a lot at once.

Zheng Sike and the groom's eyes are bright, adults have so many souvenirs, after they go back, they should give them a little.

But when they thought about the usually old-fashioned Song Hua, they shook their heads and didn't dare to be delusional.

In the car, Song Wenjian told Song Hua: "Dad, don't tell anyone what happened today." Let Chen Huatao and them be proud for a few days, and then we will fight back. ”

Song Hua looked at this second fool son who was ridiculed by others in disbelief, if it wasn't for his son's departure today, the matter of taxes and grain would not be so easy to solve.

"Wenjian, can you really let farmers harvest ten stones a year per acre?" Song Hua was still a little worried.

"Dad, don't worry, I really have a way, you can do it then." Song Wenjian was confident. Even if their father is dismissed, they will not be far behind with Dai Wang's support.

Risking death to save Dai Wang today is the right thing to save, without Dai Wang's help, things would not be so easy to solve.

Back at Song's house, Song Wenjian asked Zheng Sike and the groom to carry the souvenirs into it, and deliberately left three copies in the car.

"Four branches, each of you has a souvenir, and the other one is now sent to Lao Liang's house." Song Wenjian confessed.

"Thank you, young master." Zheng Sike and Ma Fu's eyes lit up again.

Song Wenjian went to the kitchen to ask the cook to help him decoct the medicine to nourish the kidney, and after taking the medicine, it was also evening.

"Young master, young master." Zheng Sike's shout sounded outside.

"Sike, come in and talk." Song Wenjian knew that Zheng Sike must have something to do when he came to him.

Zheng Sike, who had a bad face, walked in and said angrily: "Young master, the official in charge of the stables beat the old horse groom and robbed him of his souvenirs. ”
