Act 117 Borrowing food to harvest people's hearts
Guan Kunyu's words were not finished yet, and he originally wanted to wait for the people to calm down after cheering before continuing, but things did not go according to his script at all!
The cheers soon passed, and a big stone hanging in everyone's hearts finally fell to the ground, and then the people who suddenly relaxed their minds immediately began to gather together in three or five to chat!
There are even people who want to slip away like this!
It's simply unorganized and undisciplined!
Guan Kunyu yelled twice at the top of his throat, but it was useless, the buzzing was so loud that no matter how loud his shout was, others couldn't hear it clearly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Huzi silently handed over a new musket, Guan Kunyu sighed helplessly, and raised it to the sky to shoot again.
It's just a meeting, and it's going to be like this!
This is still the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the prohibition of the order, I can't hear any orders at all!
After everyone quieted down, Guan Kunyu held back his anger and continued:
"I'm so happy with this little news!? I'm thinking I'm leaving!? Let me tell you, there are many benefits to following our Guan family! For example, although we have lent the grain to everyone this time, how to calculate the cost and how to calculate the interest?
If it is lent to outsiders, then the grain must be calculated according to the market price, and the current price of grain has risen to one dollar and eight cents of silver! It's not a stone, it's a bucket! A bucket of grain, a penny, eight cents of silver!
It's not easy to repay the capital just by farming every year, not to mention the interest! Even if everything goes smoothly, who can catch their breath in seven or eight years!? ”
Everyone listened to the explanation silently, yes, it is very unacceptable to borrow money in ordinary years, let alone borrow grain in this case, who will not take the opportunity to knock on the pen!
However, someone soon reacted and was very cooperative.
"Young Master Sun, you just said that it is beneficial to follow the Guan family, so naturally you can't be like this with everyone, right?"
Guan Kunyu smiled: "That's right! Folks in the big hometown, although our Guan family is a hundred households, but we are a family with everyone, and the family naturally doesn't care about these.
I'll tell you here, let's borrow grain this time, and one stone of rice will be calculated according to one or two or five dollars of silver! That's three cents lower than the market price outside!
And that's not all, as long as the principal can be paid off within five years, the interest will only be 10%! As long as it's a percent! You go out and ask, if it is someone else, even if it is for their own family members, who can prescribe such conditions!? Who can!?
Even better, if you are rewarded for your good work for my family in the future, you can also reduce the interest based on your contributions! If it's good enough, you can even reduce your principal!
Remember, this is only for our own family! Don't even think about it! ”
The more everyone listened, the more unbelievable they felt, and in the end, no one dared to believe it easily, there was no way, who asked Guan Kunyu to provide these conditions were really too generous.
"Young Master Sun...... You...... You're not kidding the little ones, are you? What you say is true!? ”
Guan Kunyu glanced at the man with disdain, and said disdainfully: "You guys don't take a good look at who I am!?" Now who in Songjiang doesn't know the name of my little Tao Zhu Gong!? Back then, I was able to make the first money with Luban Bird, and then I made a sugar workshop, and now, how much can I earn from one in and one out of old grain!?
The little money you borrowed wasn't enough for me to earn in a month, and you think I can see it!? To put it mildly, whoever is worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, I plan to pit him for silver, which is to lift him! ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Our family has such a benevolent Young Master Sun, that's a great blessing!"
"Yes, yes, with Young Master Sun taking us to do it, the good days are still to come!"
……
Before everyone could talk, Guan Kunyu hurriedly said: "Now everyone tells me, who brought you so many benefits!?" ”
"It's Young Master Sun!"
"It's Young Master Sun!"
"It's Young Master Sun!"
Guan Kunyu nodded with satisfaction: "Then let me tell you, there are a lot of people who are thinking about our food now!" What if someone wants to come and grab food!? ”
"Hehe, what else can I do, when the Japanese came to grab something, they asked us to fight back, who else can we be afraid of now!? As long as anyone dares to come and rob us of our life-saving food, we will break their legs! ”
"That's right! Break their legs! ”
"Break your leg!"
……
Guan Kunyu smiled: "Okay! That's a good point! Now everyone goes back to pack up, takes out all the grain to be left behind, counts it, and moves the rest out, waiting for someone from the grain merchant to come and transport it. ”
…………………………
Guan Kunyu was about to go back after speaking, but Huzi, who had been helping out, quietly followed, and said in a low voice when there was no one around:
"Young Master Sun, isn't it inappropriate for us to do this?"
"What's wrong?"
Huzi organized it and said, "Young Master Sun is kind-hearted, but he can't stop some villains from wanting to take advantage of you!" The price of the grain we borrow is much lower than that outside, and the interest we ask for is so light, as long as we sell the grain we borrowed from you outside, not only will we have the principal with interest, but we can also make a little money!
In case of...... In case of...... What if someone takes advantage of this to make a profit and sells the grain we borrow to make money?
Now we are suffering from a disaster, yes, but as long as the road is clear in another three or two months, the outside grain will naturally be transported in, and the price of food will naturally fall at that time, so usually everyone borrows a little food for emergency when they are affected by a disaster, and survives these three or two months.
But just now I vaguely heard someone talking about borrowing more grain, they still have a lot of food at home, enough to survive this while, but they still want to borrow food, and they still borrow more, they must be thinking about taking the opportunity to make a fortune! ”
Guan Kunyu smiled and patted Huzi's shoulder: "You can think of this layer, it's good!" It's nice to be able to remind me truthfully! I did it on purpose, though! ”
"Sun ...... Did Young Master Sun do it on purpose? ”
Guan Kunyu nodded and said, "That's right, although the price I gave them is low, if I really take it out and sell it for a hundred percent of the interest, I won't make too much money." It's not a small amount of money, but it's definitely not a lot of money. I don't look down on this bit of silver, I just want to know who in our camp will ignore my kindness and black my food for such a little silver!
Huzi, this matter will be handed over to you, when the time comes, you can ask me how much food has been borrowed and how much has been sold! If I do a good job, I will be rewarded! ”
