The official road from Chen County to Luoyang is bumpy, because it has not been repaired for many years, and there has been a large army before, and there are even tripping pits dug by ambush on the road.

The advance march would fill in some of the big holes, and ignore the small ones, so that the carriage would still be bumping and bumping as if it were going to shake people's heads off.

Zhao Hanzhang had already abandoned the car and changed horses, and at this time she was letting the horses run forward, and as soon as the autumn wind blew again, her eyes drooped down sleepily.

Zeng Yue and Tinghe followed behind her, for fear that she would fall asleep and fall off the horse, then she would become the first regent in history to fall off her horse and die suddenly because she was sleeping on the horse.

Fortunately, she had a safe journey, although her head was little by little, but because the horse was walking forward, she had been sitting on it steadily.

She rode a horse so slowly, not to mention a carriage, and it was a little faster than a human walk, Zhao Hu finally couldn't help it, and pulled open the curtain irritably, and saw Zhao Hanzhang riding a horse in front at a glance, and couldn't help but stop her loudly, "Sanniang, Sanniang-"

The sound faintly reached his brain, Zhao Hanzhang opened his eyes slowly, looked back slowly following the sound, and saw Zhao Hu most of his head poking out of the window, so he reined in his horse and let the car follow.

Before the carriage approached Zhao Hanzhang, Zhao Hu's complaint was shot out like a cannon, "This road is too bad, it wasn't like this last time, you should also take care of the county orders of several nearby counties, just take care of it, if this road is not repaired, will there be a caravan willing to go to Luoyang?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Seventh Uncle Ancestor is right, I will write a letter to people to organize people to build roads in a while, but this road is not just manual, and it also needs to spend money to buy some materials, I am now shy in my pocket, and I want to borrow a sum of money from my uncle and grandfather." ”

Zhao Hu's head shrank back, and at the same time lowered the curtains, and a "hum" sound came from inside, "If you don't want to repair, don't repair it, anyway, it's not me who loses the few people in Luoyang." ”

Zhao Hanzhang rode a horse beside the car, sighed, and said to him across the car: "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, I don't lend your money in vain, I will give interest." ”

She smiled and said, "It should be said that I didn't borrow it, but the court is borrowing money from you, and I will give you two cents a year." ”

Zhao Hu snorted coldly in the car, lifted the curtain and said to her: "Do you know how much interest I charge for borrowing money?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to say.

Zhao Hu raised his chin and said, "I borrow money from outside, and the minimum is three points, monthly interest!" ”

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes to meet his gaze, and smiled at him slightly: "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, don't you remember, I issued regulations for the Xiping County Decree, strictly prohibiting usury, and if the monthly interest rate exceeds two cents, it can be regarded as usury, and the yamen has the right to confiscate the illegal gains of usurers and impose a fine." ”

"Counting money, because the amount of money to be paid for lending is different from the amount of other property taxes," Zhao Hanzhang smiled lightly: "So Seventh Uncle Ancestor, you seem to have to pay a lot of money." ”

Zhao Hu's eyes widened, and he looked at her with his mouth open in shock, and it took a while to find his voice, "You, you ......"

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his face coldly and said to him: "I can open the net, I am not to blame for my previous mistakes, but if you lend usury again in the future, I will not tolerate it." ”

She said, "I'll let Chang Ning pay extra attention to you." ”

Zhao Hu was so angry that his beard was about to fly, he hated Chang Ning the most, even more than he hated Ming Pre.

Because Ming Yu just said that he wanted him to hand over the property, Chang Ning actually snatched the money from him, and sure enough, they were all instructed by Zhao Hanzhang to deliberately oppose him.

Zhao Hu was so angry that he fell off the curtain, and his chest rose and fell sharply.

But Zhao Hanzhang has gone further, and Zhao's current and unused circumstances have made Zhao Hu grow up, and he is no longer the old lady who only saw immediate benefits before.

Now that his business is all over Dajin, no matter how angry he is with Zhao Hanzhang, he will not clamore to break off his friendship with her like before.

Zhao Hu took a deep breath, calmed down slightly, and then opened the curtain, he wanted the guards to invite Zhao Hanzhang, but he didn't expect that as soon as the curtain was lifted, the people next to the car turned their heads to look over, and then smiled at him.

Zhao Hu: ......

Zhao Hanzhang is still here, and he greets him with a smile, won't she be angry?

Zhao Hu was full of weakness and a little frightened at the same time.

can endure what ordinary people can't bear, either have a big heart or a big plan, Zhao Hanzhang may have both, but he has a big plan for him......

Zhao Hu was weak, and he felt the pain in his heart, and he felt that his treasury was about to hurt again.

He knew it, but he couldn't refuse her.

Zhao Hu tightened the curtain, endured it, and asked reluctantly, "How much do you want to borrow from me?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him and said, "Ten million dollars." ”

Zhao Hu wanted to drop the curtain, but he held back, "Do you know how much the imperial court can collect in a year in the past few years?" ”

"I know that those taxes can't even support His Majesty, less than a million." When the first emperor was there, he really couldn't support himself, and basically relied on the support of the princes and local tyrants, because he couldn't collect taxes.

However, it is different now, from the north of Yuzhou, every state was personally beaten by her, and there will be no situation where she can't collect taxes, so she comforted Zhao Hu, "Uncle and grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely be able to pay back." ”

"Is that what I mean?" Zhao Hu couldn't help but be furious, "I'm asking why you want so much money?" Didn't you just finish the money? So much money is not enough for you? ”

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said: "Counting money is just a drop in the bucket, where is it enough?" You see, which one doesn't need money to build roads, canals, and rivers? Winter is coming, I think this year will be very cold, so I have to prepare for the cold disaster, there is still a food shortage in various places, so we must be more vigilant against the lack of green and yellow in March and April of the next year. ”

Zhao Hu was silent.

Zhao Hanzhang hit the horse and approached the carriage, leaned over to him, and said in a low voice: "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, you don't have to worry about me not paying the money, I can guarantee it with salt." ”

Zhao Hu's eyebrows jumped, he sat up straight, his head poked out of the window, and his eyes looked at her with bright eyes, "Salt? ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and bowed slightly, "Didn't you notice that Tinghan wasn't there recently?" He went to the Qingzhou salt farm. ”

Zhao Hu's breathing was two points short, what about the salt, that's a big benefit.

Zhao Hanzhang said softly: "Now that the salt and iron have been taken back by me and state-owned, no one can sell salt beyond the imperial court, so I agree with you that I will not pay your money before the expiration of next year, how about I use salt to pay off the debt?" ”

Zhao Hu: "Salt introduction? ”

"It's the introduction that you can buy salt and sell salt."

Zhao Hu's eyes were shining, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Hanzhang, and after a while, he bowed slightly, "Okay." ”

The corners of Zhao Hanzhang's mouth were slightly raised, he straightened up and sat on the horse, kicked the horse's belly to speed it up a little, and said with a smile: "Uncle and grandfather know a lot of rich people, and I also asked my uncle and grandfather to speak for me, just say that the court is short of money, and a batch of treasury bonds will be issued before the year, and everyone can claim and buy it, with an annual interest rate of two cents." ”

Zhao Hu asked, "If you don't ...... yet?"

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his voice and said: "I want to ask my uncle and grandfather to be a guarantor for me, and also ask them to believe me, with me, the court will definitely be able to repay their money, but I can't trust them, so it is impossible to give them the salt introduction, and I also ask my uncle and grandfather not to mention the matter of salt introduction to them." ”

It feels like Zhao Hanzhang is engaged in spreading ,,, sales
