Chapter 186: The Mother of a Million (13)
Zhao Jihe's kneeling action was infinitely slowed down in the eyes of the people.
Zhao Dashan, who has always been proud and wanton, actually knelt down in front of the common people in front of the public.
People who saw this scene thought that they were dazzled and hallucinated, and rubbed their eyes, but after rubbing their eyes, Zhao Dashan on the high platform still knelt with a painful face.
It's not like it's true, it's like a myth.
But it just happened.
There was a lively discussion in the crowd, with everyone asking each other why or who knew the inside scoop.
Someone suddenly mentioned Liu Xiangu, and everyone suddenly realized that it was Liu Xiangu, Xiangu's skills are amazing, and anything can happen, let alone let Zhao Dashan kneel down this trivial matter.
So everyone felt a little bit on the side, and although they understood the reason for what happened, they still felt curious. When have I ever seen a rich person kneel down to a rich person, and it is so expensive, the discussion in the crowd is still very enthusiastic.
The servants of the Zhao family took the gong and knocked a few times: "Everyone is quiet, listen to our master!" ”
The cacophony subsided only a little.
Zhao Dashan didn't care what others discussed, he felt that he had enough time to kneel, so he stood up and walked to the brazier and asked the servant to carry up a large box.
"After Liu Xiangu's guidance, I recognized my sins, so today I want to atone for my sins. In the box is the contract of everyone's loan over the years, because of this paper loan document, how many wives have been separated and families have been ruined.
There should be no such thing as usury. So today, I'm going to burn all the loan documents in the box, and in the future, everyone and my debts will be written off, whether it is interest or principal, I don't have to pay it back! ”
Zhao Dashan raised his hand, grabbed a handful of paper and threw it into the brazier.
The flames roared and burst into flames.
The emotions of the people in the front row gradually intensified with the burning flame: "Zhao Dashan said that we don't have to pay back!" ”
Due to the noisy voices, the people behind them didn't hear clearly, but they saw that the people in front were cheering, so they asked left and right what was going on.
When I heard the person in front of me say that Zhao Dashan burned the loan documents, I still couldn't believe it and asked again and again.
When everyone knew the news, everyone looked at this Zhao Dashan's eyes with great enthusiasm.
Every time he grabbed a handful of paper and threw it into the brazier, the crowd burst into cheers.
By the time the paper was burned, everyone's emotions had been pushed to the top, and they kept cheering for the names of Zhao Dashan and Liu Xiangu.
The sound is rolling, so that passers-by who watch the excitement also feel shocked.
Zhao Jihe had already greeted the county magistrate before doing this, and the county magistrate sat in a restaurant to watch, and when he saw such a warm scene, he couldn't help but rub his beard and said: "It is worthy of Zhao Dashan, just with Liu Xiangu's merit of Zhao Jihe, the two of them are enough to show their faces in front of His Majesty, but unfortunately the law strictly prohibits private loans, otherwise my political achievements will go to the next level." ”
When the event was over, Zhao Jihe led the servants away, and the crowd in the square looked at the ashes in the fire room, and only then did they have a real sense of what they were now debtless.
Some knelt on the ground and thanked God, thanked Liu Xiangu, and thanked Zhao Dashan.
Some burst into tears, shouting the names of their loved ones, saying that it would be nice if you had known the news earlier.
Some mothers said with tears in their eyes that their daughters could be saved, and their younger sons could be cured.
There are also people who beat their chests and regret it, thinking that why they didn't borrow Zhao Dashan's money before, but now that other people's debts have been settled, they can watch it themselves, which is equivalent to losing a lot of money.
After this incident, Liu Xiangu's reputation in this county has almost reached its peak.
The people sent by the capital to pick up Liu E were also very surprised, and when they arrived in the county, the people in the county had a fanatical attitude towards Liu Xiangu.
Bring any person, and you can tell how many good things Liu Xiangu has done and how much mana she has.
The people in the capital nodded, it seems that this auspicious rui was not made up by someone, whether the people are really grateful or fake excited, they can see it, indicating that the possibility of true auspicious rui is still very great.
Liu E is finally going to Beijing, and before leaving, she donated the silver she earned during this time to the government, saying that the county order would be used for the benefit of the people.
The county magistrate thanked her for her selflessness, and asked the villagers to announce Liu Xiangu's kindness to the villagers, and promised that the money would be used on the people.
Whether it is building bridges and paving roads, or building water conservancy projects, or buying farm tools collectively, every money will be spent on the right path.
Naturally, the people cheered.
On the day Liu E left, the weather was very good, and many people crowded on the side of the street to see her off, and the posture of hugging her was stunned by the envoys of the capital.
They have a more intuitive understanding of Liu E's prestige.
Liu E was sitting in the sedan chair, listening to the words of seeing off outside, the tassel on the window of the sedan chair swayed, and suddenly a cucumber flew in from outside.
Liu E lifted the sedan curtain and saw that the people outside were holding baskets in their hands, and in the baskets were fruits, millet, rice, red dates and other grain specialties. One by one, they stretched out their hands and held the basket to be handed to her.
Liu E waved her hand to let them take it back, and the people were even more excited to see her, and raised their hands higher, lest Liu E would not receive their gifts.
When the people in the distance saw Liu E appearing, they couldn't help but want to squeeze closer, but the people in the near distance broke through the barricades set up by the officials.
The crowd seriously obstructed the movement of the convoy, and the messenger headed by him had an impatient expression and asked people to send a message to Liu E, asking her to pacify the people quickly and not to miss the hour.
Liu E stopped the sedan chair, walked out of the sedan chair and said to the people: "Fellow villagers, I know your intentions, and I will always bless you.
Now you have taken the grain seeds in your hands home and kept them well, and I have cast a spell on them, and these seeds will surely give you a good harvest in the coming year. Stand back, be careful of being knocked over the grain. ”
Hearing this, everyone firmly guarded the food in their hands, carefully observing the left and right, lest they be knocked over a little.
The crowd slowly retreated, and the convoy was able to continue moving.
The envoy of the capital took great care of Liu E, and the food and accommodation conditions were the best, and on the third day after leaving Liujia Village, the convoy stopped at a post station.
Originally, she was going to set off after the night, but Liu E said no, she couldn't go.
The leader of the messengers felt that the woman was pretending to be a ghost, and he was very impatient, and took up a knife to frighten her.
Liu E's face was fearless: "I calculated that there was heavy rain fifty miles ahead, and the rocks and mud and sand rolled down, and if we moved forward, there would be no life." ”
Seeing that Liu E's expression was so serious, the leader withdrew his knife and sent someone to ride a fast horse to the front to see the situation.
waited until midnight, and when the people sent came back, they didn't care about drinking a sip of water, and quickly ran to the leader's room to report: "Boss, Liu Xiangu is right. Fifty miles ahead, it rained heavily, and there was a mudslide in one of the mountains, and a caravan in front of us had been buried in the mud, and there was not a single living person left. ”
The envoy's face changed greatly, he glanced in the direction of Liu E, and hurriedly wrote a letter to Jingli, the road ahead was blocked, and it was impassable for a while, but fortunately, there were carrier pigeons to deliver the news.
