Chapter 45: Borrowing Money
"Yes, what you do is good for the people!" Pang Gang said with certainty.
After a long time, Wei Tongnian's voice sounded faintly, "People's livelihood, what Pang Baihu wants to do is very beneficial to people's livelihood, so it is still beneficial to the country and the people?" β
While Wei Tongnian was speaking, Pang Gang also saw a trace of incomprehension, confusion and a hint of irony flashing in Wei Tongnian's eyes.
Although this kind of look made Pang Gang very uncomfortable, Pang Gang didn't feel angry, after all, anyone who heard a rude military man say that he was going to do something that would be beneficial to both the country and the people would have this kind of expression, not to mention that the other party was still the highest civil governor of the land.
After organizing the language, Pang Gang said slowly: "I have developed a thing today, and it is called cement!" This thing can quickly bond hard things such as green bricks and boulders, whether it is used to build city walls, build houses or pave roads, it is no worse than glutinous rice, tung oil, lime made of adhesive things, or even better than them, more importantly, the cost of this thing is very cheap, the raw materials it uses are stones and clay that can be seen everywhere, so even the poor people can afford to use it. And the lowly thing to do is to build such a factory to produce this thing, well, that is, the workshop, my lord, do you say that at this time is not a thing that benefits the country and the people? β
Pang Gang observed Wei Tongnian's face as he spoke, but it was a pity that he couldn't see any information from the face of the prefect, but it was no wonder that since ancient China, the officialdom of China has paid attention to the collapse of Mount Tai and remained silent, not to mention the old fox who has been floating and sinking in the sea for decades? On the contrary, the two ladies beside him showed a hint of discoloration on their faces.
"Is this really a research item by Pang Baihu?" Wei Tongnian's originally gentle eyes suddenly became sharp, and his hot eyes stared directly at Pang Gang.
"Exactly, this is a lowly job that I discovered by chance!" Pang Gang stiffened his scalp and held on.
"I can't imagine that Pang Baihu is proficient in the science of things, and even such magical things can be created." Wei Tongnian's eyes suddenly became easy-going again, and he asked casually: "Then why did Pang Baihu come to find the official?" β
"Damn, this old fox, he really knows how to pretend, I don't believe he can't see my purpose." Pang Gang scolded secretly in his heart, but now he has to pretend to be honest and say: "I want to borrow money from adults here!" β
"Uh, borrow silver!"
As soon as Pang Gang said this, the three people in the pentagonal pavilion were stunned, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Historically, only subordinates have honored their superiors in officialdom, and I have never heard of subordinates daring to borrow money from officials, and they are so arrogant. Wei has been an official for so many years in the same year, and he has never seen such a strange thing, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Poof!"
I don't know how long it took, a light laugh sounded next to Wei Tongnian, it turned out to be the young lady sitting next to Wei Tongnian, the reason why he was a young lady and not a concubine was because Pang Gang had already found that her head was combed with the symbol of the three temples of the Ming Dynasty that represented the three maids who had not yet appeared.
When Wei Manyao couldn't help but chuckle out loud, she knew that she had suffered, what women paid attention to in ancient times was: "Don't show your feet, don't walk an inch, don't smile with your teeth, and don't use your hands on your chest", now she will definitely be blamed by her father for being so rude in front of outsiders.
However, Wei Manyao couldn't help but laugh when she saw that the officer was so bold and even unreasonable to borrow money from her father, so she laughed out loud.
Wei Manyao is the daughter of the prefect, she is a good lady, she has been smart since she was a child, she learned to write at the age of four and wrote poems at the age of eight, and she has seen a lot of officialdom in the years she has followed her father, but she has never seen a subordinate who dares to reach out to the official to ask for money Well, well, although this is not a direct subordinate of the Wei Governor's Mansion, it was just when Wei Manyao saw the calm expression of this Qiu Ba when he borrowed money from his father, she couldn't help it, so she laughed out loud.
Seeing his daughter's rudeness, Wei Tongnian glanced at his daughter with slanted eyes, and then said slowly: "Pang Baihu, you are an officer of the guard and belong to the military attachΓ©. And this official is the prefect of Qingzhou, belonging to the civil official, if you want to borrow silver, you should go to the command of the yamen, how did you come to this official? β
To Wei Tongnian's question, Pang Gang replied without thinking: "Back to the adult, the lowly post has already been to the command of the yamen, but Lord Song's silver is not enough, and the lowly post has to come to bother the adult, and the last time the lord also said that if there is something in danger, you can come to the adult, you see that the lowly post is not here!" β
As soon as Pang Gang said this, he almost didn't make Wei Tongnian angry, you kid can't even hear the kind words, you take it seriously when the official says this casually. Besides, the favor owed to you by the official has been paid off, do you rely on the official or what?
"Giggles"
Wei Tongnian, who was angry, heard the prestige, and it turned out that the two daughters, including his concubine Rou Niang, were lying on the stone table and snickering, which made our Wei Governor almost so angry that he didn't hold his breath.
Seeing that Wei Tongnian's face was getting darker and darker, there were faint signs of an outbreak. Pang Gang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "My lord, please listen to your humble duties!" β
Wei Tongtong only felt that all the cultivation he had cultivated over the years was thrown on the dog today, and his teeth were a little gurgling, and it took a long time for a word to pop out of between his teeth.
"Speak!"
"Damn, I almost went overboard!" Pang Gang looked at Wei Tongnian's gradually darkening face, and hurriedly said: "I want to build a workshop for the production of cement, but I am suffering from the lack of capital. The lowly job assures you that it will be returned within one, and the lowly job is willing to make a mortgage on the price of 30% of the shares of the cement workshop for 1,000 taels! β
"What, Sancheng shares!"
None of the three people here are stupid, and they knew what Pang Gang meant as soon as Pang Gang's words came out.
Bribe! Red Guoguo's bribe!
Originally thought that this little Baihu who had eaten the gall of the leopard dared to come to the prefect to fight the autumn breeze, and then the three of them knew that this Pang Baihu was actually here to send money, and the huge contrast made the two daughters who were originally lying on the stone table stop laughing and raised their heads in surprise.
Looking at Pang Gang's somewhat honest face, Wei Tongnian felt a pang in his heart, this honest and bold hundred households in his impression was not simple, he came to borrow silver today is fake, and the gift is real! However, the fact that gifts can be sent to him in such a quiet realm is really unseen in Wei's life in the same year.
Wei Tongtong, who had regained his normal mood, quickly came to his senses, "You mean to borrow 1,000 taels of silver from the borrower with 30% of the shares of your cement workshop as collateral?" β
"It is precisely that the humble post has recently discovered an iron mine in the jurisdiction and is going to hire someone to mine it, but the cement workshop cannot be delayed, so the silver two will be a little out of hand, so he has the cheekiness to ask the prefect for help. Please help the prefect for the sake of the thousands of people in Wanghai Fort! You see, even the IOUs have been written. Pang Gang's words were filled with a hint of sadness and helplessness, if people who didn't know really thought that he was cornered.
After speaking, Pang Gang walked a few steps and took out an IOU from his arms and respectfully placed it in front of Wei Tongnian.
Looking at Pang Gang's appearance, Wei Tongnian was really a little crying and laughing, and it was a wonder that he could raise bribes to the level of the people's livelihood.
"Alas"
Looking at the IOU in front of him, Wei Tongnian let out a long sigh, and scolded with some hatred: "That's it, this official is afraid of you."
Thank you God is not **, a sword floats 123, and the nine-fold true dragon brothers for the reward, thank you!
