"Steward Liu, please do it, this is the money I used to buy medicine for my daughter-in-law, you can't take it!"

As soon as Wang Xu went out, far away, he saw two groups of people entangled together.

Take a closer look, the person with three strong men blocking the intersection is not his housekeeper Liu Quan.

And the people who confronted Liu Quan were two middle-aged men, and a little girl about the same age as him.

"Liu Quan, what's going on?"

Wang Xu saw the dispute and walked up from behind.

Liu Quan looked back, immediately shrunk his body, and said, "Young master, this person borrowed our loan, which is enough for ten taels of silver, and the days are overdue." I saw him on the street today, he had silver in his arms, and he didn't want to give it. ”

"Steward Liu, it's not that I don't pay you back, but my lady is very sick, and these two taels of silver are for a doctor to take medicine, and I really can't give it to you." The yellow-faced man looks to be in his thirties, surrounded by a similar-looking peer who seems to be a relative like a brother.

And behind the two, there was a little girl about the same age as him, but she looked at herself with tears in her eyes.

"Liu Quan, what is this silver owed?" Wang Xu turned his head to look at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper Liu Quan, pointing to the man with the child, replied: "Four months ago, his mother-in-law was sick, borrowed ten taels of silver from us to see a doctor, said that it would be three months to pay back, and now it is four months, and his mother-in-law is not good. ”

Wang Xu nodded lightly and glanced at the yellow-faced man.

The yellow-faced man had a sad face, his eyes were bloodshot and tired, he had obviously not slept well for a long time, and he looked like a poor man.

However, in these years, there is a lack of everything, that is, there is no shortage of poor people, in this indifferent world, who will pity whom?

"Killing people to pay for your life, paying off debts, this has been the principle since ancient times, don't borrow if you can't pay it back, no one forces you to borrow money, don't you say?" Wang Xu didn't say anything like that, the interest rate of the Wang family's lending business is not high, it is not a usury, and the business must have the appearance of a business.

The folks in the big hometown are exempted from the yellow-faced man today, but they will have to be exempted from others tomorrow.

The business didn't do that, and it started like digging an eye in a dam, and it couldn't be stopped when the time came.

"That's it, my Wang family, I'm not a country bully, I'll give you another three months. At that time, if you don't have any money, I see that you can also endure hardships, and you come to work in Wang's rice shop, what I say is righteous, right? ”

After Wang Xu was born into the Wang family, he has been subtly changing the rules of the Wang family, the wives who lost in the casino were scattered, and the people who lent money were ruined, this kind of thing has not happened for a long time.

"Young master, please do well, lend me another five taels of silver, if there is no silver, my mother-in-law will not be able to survive." Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, the yellow-faced man bowed his head and bowed, and his head banged on the ground.

Liu Quan was anxious when he heard this, and scolded: "What's the matter, seeing that my young master is kind-hearted, are you kicking your nose in the face?" ”

"Let him say..."

Wang Xu waved his hand and motioned for Liu Quan to step back.

Liu Quan looked unwilling, and whispered: "Young master, don't listen to him, he is bullying you because he sees you young." These honest people are the best at kicking their noses and faces, just like dog skin plasters, they can't tear them off if they rely on you. ”

"What, do you want to teach me how to do things, or do you want to teach me a lesson?" Wang Xu raised his head slightly and looked at Liu Quan expressionlessly.

Liu Quan chuckled in his heart, Wang Xu is the son of the old man Wang, and the old couple are reluctant to teach him a lesson, if this is passed on, he will teach the young master a lesson, and he will be whipped to death by the master when he turns around.

Don't look at Master Wang over the years, his methods have softened, who dares to be a good man, even the bones have to be chewed.

The Wang family has only been in business for 30 years, and it has earned a huge share of the family business, so it can't be kindness and charity from others.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's all up to the young master." Liu Quan hurriedly retreated, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of Wang Xu.

Wang Xu also ignored him, one of these people in the Wang family was counted as one, and none of them were on the stage.

It's okay to nest in the countryside, but further up, the pattern and means are not enough, and the plan is insufficient.

"Then you say, well said, I can still lend you money." Wang Xu is not afraid of borrowing money, the Wang family has a lot of money, not to mention five taels of silver, even fifty thousand taels is nothing.

When the yellow-faced man heard this, there was a door, and he hurriedly continued: "My mother-in-law was sick in the spring, and the doctor said that it was a cold and had to be raised. Young master, if you can lend me another five taels of silver, so that I can heal my mother-in-law's illness, I can use you as a cow and a horse. ”

"It's insincere to say this, your family also has to eat and drink, the first ten taels, now five taels, I'm afraid it will take you twenty years to pay it back, you have to give me a reason to lend you money again, right?"

Wang Xu doesn't want to listen to anything like a cow and a horse, this doesn't count, and since ancient times, he can't help the poor, and he can't pay back ten taels of silver, and if he borrows five taels, what will he pay back.

Fifteen taels of silver, put it in Jiuquan Town, are enough to buy four acres of land.

There are tens of thousands of people in the town, and a few families have four acres of land, which is not a reason and responsibility to borrow money.

"I, I..." The yellow-faced man was anxious, but he couldn't think of a countermeasure at all.

"As long as I can, my mother, if I don't have any money, I'll sell myself to you." The little girl who had been hiding behind the two of them said to Wang Xu alive.

"Erya..."The yellow-faced man was inexplicably sad, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Wang Xu glanced at the little girl and smiled: "That's it, Liu Quan, give him another five taels of silver, three months later, if they don't pay back, there is still a lack of a personal girl by my side, and it will be her." ”

"Yes, young master."

Liu Quan took out five taels of silver from the money bag and shouted, "Take it and get out." ”

The yellow-faced middle-aged man picked up the silver and left with his daughter and brother, as if he would be eaten if he stayed any longer.

Wang Xu watched the three of them leave, looked at the back that was gradually drifting away, and whispered: "The pros and cons of the dynasty are difficult to return!" ”

On the surface, this is just a lack of money to see a doctor, but it is a microcosm of the people at the bottom.

After 120,000 years of the Wu Dynasty, the seriousness of land annexation can be seen here.

The wealth of the entire dynasty was concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and ordinary people struggled all their lives, and a few taels of silver earned by digging in the soil had to be spilled out of a serious illness.

This world has reached the point where it is not alive, if it were not for the suppression of Confucianism, I am afraid that the following would have risen up long ago.

Even so, this volcano will not be able to be covered, in recent years, the monks of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have been walking more and more frequently among the people, and they have respected Confucianism for millions of years, and Buddhism may not be willing.

The deeper he looked, the more Wang Xu could feel the undercurrent under the calm.

More importantly, Buddhism and Taoism are different from Confucianism in that they both have monks who fly to the heavens and the earth, and these people have no limit on longevity.

Confucianism has died from generation to generation, and the masters of Buddhism and Taoism have been retreating from generation to generation.

After Dong Zhongshu advocated Confucianism for millions of years, the two families of Buddhism and Taoism don't know how many masters they have accumulated, are these people really willing to retreat to the mountains and forests and be idle clouds and wild cranes?

"Either change the dynasty and divide the world again, or expand the territory, increase the area of cultivated land, and consume the internal family, otherwise this is an unsolvable problem."

Wang Xu had a coldness in his eyes, the change of dynasty can cause a large loss of population, and even many families will be destroyed, and if more people die, the land will naturally be vacated, which is also the reason why the dynasty is prosperous and declining, and the cycle repeats.

Historically, the change of dynasty is not because of the tyranny of the previous dynasty, but because the common people have no way to live, no hope, and they can no longer afford to live, die, or be sick.

Conversely, it is also possible to expand the territory, as long as one more state is built, some people who lack land can be moved to the new land to cultivate fertile land.

It alleviates the demand for land of ordinary people, and naturally the undercurrent will also stabilize, and if there is land to grow and food to eat, who will rebel.

If neither works, Wang Xuguan is afraid that the world will be chaotic, and it will be a big chaos.

In the past few years, the two families of Buddhism and Taoism have traveled the world to help the world and the people.

Confucianism suppressed the world, and he saw the pros and cons, and there was no reason why these people couldn't see it.

How will they choose, Wang Xu is looking forward to it...
