Chapter 1200: Believe It or Not
"The county town wants to open a money bank to lend money to farmers to pay taxes? Brother An, are you serious? Lin Lao was so excited: "If there is really a rich village willing to lend us money, then we can live as a farmer." ”
His family wanted to go to the money bank to borrow money, but the eldest and the third couldn't even enter the door of the money bank, so they were beaten away.
Money banks generally do not lend money to farmers, for fear that farmers will lose money if they can't repay the money, so if most farmers have difficulties, they can only ask relatives to borrow money, or go to gambling houses to borrow money.
But the profit demanded by the gambling house was too high, and the peasants could not afford to pay it at all, so they could only end up selling their fields and land, selling their houses, or using their daughters to settle their debts.
"Gu Case, is Qian Zhuang really willing to lend us money? How much is the profit? It's not as tall as the one in the casino, right? Boss Lin asked Gu Jinan anxiously, and the injuries on his body that were beaten by the Qianzhuang Nursing Home were still painful.
Gu Jinan said: "No, the interest of the new money bank is very low, and as long as the interest is given more than the principal, the debt can be eliminated." ”
"W-what does that mean?" Lin Lao didn't understand very well.
Lin Laosan sighed and said, "Dad, Gu is the first to say, the new money is a good one, we only need to pay the profit, as long as the interest paid exceeds 20% of the principal, there is no need to pay back, not even the principal." What a good thing, what a great thing! ”
Lin Laosan and Lin Laosan were so excited, and Zhou Dalang was also too happy, and said, "Great, if that's the case, all of us can survive." ”
Zhou Lao was not very happy when he heard this, and questioned Gu Jin'an: "Brother An, what you said is false, the old man has lived for decades, and he has never seen such a money village, he doesn't even have to pay back the principal, as long as the interest money is paid in full, the debt can be eliminated, heh, are you fooling us?" ”
After hearing this, Zhou Lao Er followed: "Yes, you definitely don't want to lend us money, so you made up such a lie to deceive us." ”
He also said: "Brother An, we are fellow villagers who fled the famine together, your family has been rich in recent years, and our family has not come to your house to fight the autumn breeze, and now I really can't live anymore so I came to ask your family to borrow money, if you don't want to borrow, forget it, why lie and lie to us?" Do you know that as soon as Brother Lin learned that the emperor was going to collect taxes, they went to the money bank to borrow money? It's a pity that Qian Zhuang didn't borrow or say anything, and beat them up, do you want us to be beaten too?! ”
When Gu Jinan heard this, he sneered: Second Uncle of the Zhou family, I didn't lie to you, you love to believe it or not. ”
"You, Gu Jin'an, what kind of attitude do you have? I'm your elder! Zhou Lao Er was very angry, when he was in Niugou Town, because of his relationship with Gu Jin'an's family who escaped the famine, the people in Niugou Town called him the uncle of the first family in the case, which made him very happy. Unexpectedly, in front of Gu Jinan, this elder's score couldn't be put up.
With a bang, the third grandfather slapped the table, looked at Zhou Lao and said, "Old brother, the people in the village said that you came to see me, so I asked people to let you in, if you are here to set up the score, then please go back." ”
Now it's not them begging for help, it's the Zhou family's Lin family begging for help, if Zhou Lao indulges his son to mess around again, he won't be polite.
Gu Dashan also endured it for a long time, and followed when he heard this: "Old Zhou, my brother's brother An is a Xiucai who has been booked, and he is already a scholar, so it is better for the brothers to be cautious when they speak, so as not to be charged with disrespecting Xiucai, which will be arrested by the government and beaten by the government." ”
Zhou Lao Er was stunned when he heard Gu Dashan's words, in their impression, Gu Dashan had always been a waste, and now this waste has also gone crazy.
Old Zhou's face was very ugly, but he knew that the third grandfather was not talking to Gu Dashan, and if he angered them, the government would really come to arrest people.
"Second brother, you don't have a humble thing, Brother An is a talent, where is your turn to make irresponsible remarks, hurry up and apologize to Brother An!"
Zhou Lao Er was also afraid of being arrested by the government to play the board, so he hurriedly gave up his hand and said to Gu Jinan: "Brother An, don't be angry, it's uncle." ”
Gu Jinan said: "My family has made it clear, the silver cannot be lent to you, but you still have a way to live, wait for five days, after five days, there will be a new money bank in the county, and you can borrow money at that time." ”
Zhou Dalang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Gu is the head of the case saying that a new money bank will be opened in the county seat?" Didn't the one who lent us the silver beat Uncle Lin and their bank? ”
Gu Jinan nodded: "Hmm." ”
Zhou Dalang was overjoyed and said to Zhou Lao: "Grandpa, second uncle, have you heard?" We're saved, and we'll be able to borrow money in five days!" ”
Zhou Lao Er looked at his eldest nephew's happy appearance, very embarrassed, this idiot, what is there to be happy about, this Qianzhuang borrows money to make money, ask the Gu family to borrow, let alone money, as long as they drag on for ten or eight years, it is estimated that they don't even have to pay back the principal.
Zhou Dalang was a little sad when he saw that Zhou Lao and Zhou Lao didn't talk...... Since escaping the famine, he has found that his grandfather and second uncle have become different, he specifically wants to get something for nothing, and even to make life better in the village, he let the bullies bully bully the eldest sister, so that the eldest sister follows Li Kuihu without a name or a point.
Gu Jinan glanced at Zhou Dalang and felt that this person was quite pitiful, but if Zhou Dalang didn't want to change, but wanted to continue to live with Zhou Lao and Zhou Laoer, it would be nothing to help.
"Lin Lao, you always remember my words, go back and wait first, once the new money village opens, my family will immediately send someone to inform you, and when the time comes, I will take you to the new money bank, and you can receive the silver immediately without queuing." Gu Jin'an said.
When Lin Lao heard Gu Jin'an's words, he almost burst into tears, Xiucai Gong said so, then the matter of Xinqian Zhuang must be true.
"Okay, well, the old man will go back and wait first...... Brother An, thank you, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how to live these days. Lin Lao choked up and said, when he learned that the emperor was going to collect high taxes, he fainted directly, as if he had returned to the scene five years ago, when he learned that everyone was going to flee the famine, there was no way to live.
"Brother Lin, what do you mean? This is leaving?" Zhou Lao was anxious, and said: "Our Niugou Town's Lizi Village is far away from here, we walked all night to arrive, and now we are tired and panicked, so we have to rest for a night before leaving." ”
The Gu family is so rich, the house is so big, even breakfast is an egg cake, and they can't be entertained with big fish and meat for dinner?
Zhou Lao didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay for a meal, and then begged the three grandfathers and three grandmothers to see if they could ask them to borrow silver.
Tuesday Lang and Wednesday Lang don't want to leave, but they remember, the Gu family has two daughters, and they are still singles, if they can live in the Gu family, they can meet the Gu family's daughter, so the next thing is not a matter of course?
