After another stop, the man finally got off the bus...... Beside and across from Liao Yingzhong sat three young men, about the size of his son.

However, they all ignored Liao Yingzhong at all, and the three of them enthusiastically discussed the affairs of the so-called federal empire member states.

What Ryukyu countries joined, and what Bo Ni countries were politely rejected...... They seem to be very proud.

Liao Yingzhong is rarely relaxed, the person just now is a talker...... And always say things that he doesn't feel comfortable listening to.

Sure enough, there were drivers who came to inspect, and there were also small four-wheeled carts selling all kinds of newspapers.

"Beer, drinks, snacks and newspapers...... The guest officer in front raised his feet ......"

He bought a few newspapers and read them seriously.

Although the train is a little bumpy, it does not affect the reading of the newspaper.

When he was in Lin'an City, he knew that some of the newspapers on Liuqiu Island were nonsense, purely deceptive to people who spent time and time to read in vain, and sometimes believed it and were ridiculed by them in vain; Sometimes I don't believe it, but it's still true!

Reading newspapers is like reading books, it all needs wise people...... It's not enough to just know words.

There was a news story that caught his attention, and after reading it, he trembled with excitement!

The news said that the magistrate of Hebei County in Qidaohe City sent people to force the villagers of Panjia Village to take out loans, which caused a mass incident, and even sent 15 patrol policemen into the village, and there was already an incident of mutual assault between the two sides!

Haha, isn't this the tragedy of the Seedlings Law!

He looked at the name of the newspaper first...... It's a pity that it's a little-known tabloid...... Looking at other newspapers, there are no relevant reports.

Is it fake news?!

But it's worth seeing for yourself, seeing and hearing with your own eyes is the clearest, it's worth it!

When the train arrived at the final station, he did not hesitate to leave the platform and immediately went to take a ferry to the north bank of the Qidao River.

Due to the development of the two banks of the Qidao River later than the Badaohe area, most of the buildings in the city are two- or three-storey, and there are few residential buildings with several floors.

Maybe it's because of the saving of land...... Anyway, the architectural style is not quite the same as that of the Eight Rivers, which naturally has a different flavor.

However, where can Liao Yingzhong take care of enjoying the scenery, he will fly to Panjia Village!

He didn't hire a four-wheeled carriage on the north bank of the Seven Dao River!

A driver with a donkey cart said that he would take his cart and that he would not need to look for a horse-drawn cart anymore, and that he had been hired by the reporters.

Well, he had to take a donkey cart for the price of a horse-drawn carriage.

When he was about to arrive at Panjia Village, he encountered a black four-wheeled carriage with the word "patrol" written on it from time to time on the road.

He knew that it was a police car for patrol officers, and the drivers who drove the car were patrol officers.

The donkey cart driver said: "This water conservancy loan is harmful......

Liao Yingzhong's eyebrows fluttered and said: "The usurers hurt the people, if there are people in the government who are in collusion with the usurers, then it will be the people's misery!" ”

The donkey cart driver said: "I have heard that there are not only group fights in Panjia Village, but also ...... in other villages."

"Okay, after going to Panjia Village, you wait for me and take me to other villages!"

"Guest officer, don't look at me as a donkey cart, the carriage is smaller, but the fare is not low."

Liao Yingzhong casually took out a ten-yuan bill and said, "Is it enough to hire your car for a day?!" ”

"Hey...... I can't find change......"

"Well, it's all yours!"

When I arrived at Panjia Village, I saw that the village was silent...... Presumably the patrol officers have taken everyone away!

It was a small village with nearly a thousand households, and he walked towards the village and saw a small shop with people inside!

He got out of the donkey cart and went in.

The shops are full of bits and pieces of daily necessities, and you can see them at a glance.

An old man greeted him very warmly.

Liao Ying chose the most expensive item that was only one hundred and fifty yuan of white sand smoke, and she couldn't wait to ask about the forced loan.

The old man frowned at the time and said, "Moneylenders are really hateful! However......"

Liao Yingzhong said: "Of course it's hateful...... They force people to use usurious loans, and they will destroy their families afterwards......"

"But it's not okay if you don't take out a loan, it's all forced by the county magistrate...... You've just come from the Great Song Dynasty, right? ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it! I want the two boxes of white sand you put on the table......"

"I can only sell you one more box, and there is one box left, and there are old customers who buy it at night...... Last winter, the magistrate of Beihe County demanded that all villages and villages build interconnected water conservancy ditches......

"Is it a reckless act that costs people and money?"

"Labor is not necessarily ...... Because I was using Japanese labor, I was not asked to wait for labor...... It hurt money, and I didn't have it at the time, so I didn't have to wait for the donation...... If you act indiscriminately, it can't be regarded as at least 20% more harvest this year......"

Liao Yingzhong thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of anything wrong, where did this force you to take out a loan?!

"We thought that these were built for free for the village, and they were publicly owned by the government...... But I don't know which bastard said, 'Property is not publicly owned......

After the autumn harvest this year, the water conservancy ditches, wells, and equipment for blocking and discharging water will be sold to the villagers, and the villagers will be able to maintain them themselves in the future! ”

Liao Yingzhong hurriedly took out a small notebook and roughly wrote down this matter.

He asked cautiously, "Do you want to ask for a high price?" ”

"We are all from peasant families, how can we let them take advantage?! Everyone calculated that if it was better than building it yourself, it would be 30% cheaper...... But I thought it was free......"

"So, how did the government force the loan?"

The county magistrate said that it could be paid in one lump sum after the autumn, or it could be paid off within five years, and there would be some more interest every year...... Pay it all at once, it's too tight to pay, and everyone chooses to pay it off within five years...... It's a compelling loan. ”

Liao Yingzhong was unwilling, and hurriedly asked: "Then why did the patrol police fight with the villagers?!" ”

"Huh! How is it that my villagers and the patrol police are fighting? This village has been established for more than ten years, and there has only been one illegal incident! It was clear that the guys who came to sell the loan were bidding against each other, and then they started beating each other...... accidentally injured my villagers, which attracted the patrol police!

The government asked me to wait for five years to pay 20% interest, and those who sold loans only paid 20% for two years, and only 10% for 1/2...... If it weren't for the group fight, it might be even lower! ”

"It's something similar in other villages? Where did you get so much money?! ”

"I've heard that this is indeed ......"

Liao Yingzhong's mind spun quickly, he seemed to understand something, but he couldn't say the key thing for a while...... You can only think about it when you go back.

When the old man was leaving, he said: "The old man's surname is Pan, and he has a distant nephew named Pan Xuezhong, who heard that he was persecuted by a certain official in the government and fled from here...... If you see this person in Da Song, please tell him, I heard that people often ask for lawyers to sue officials, so it is better to come back and ask for a good lawyer! ”

Liao Yingzhong nodded in agreement, he didn't know when he would meet this person, so it didn't hurt to agree first.

The driver of the donkey cart was still waiting for him...... Liao Yingzhong had no intention of going to other villages, so he asked the donkey coachman to send him back to Qidaohe City directly.

The driver of the donkey cart was a little worried, afraid that this man would have to pay back most of the fare...... As a result, this person has been thinking silently, and when he arrived at the place, he forgot to ask for the return fare.

The donkey coachman was secretly happy for many days......
