Chapter 120: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
"Actually, they are the toughest anti-Qin people!"
"Now, taking this opportunity, when relieving the victims, by the way, cleaning up these large local households can be described as a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people!"
"Moreover, the money and grain of the big households are already abundant, if we clean up these big households, we can directly collect their remaining money and grain to the national treasury, and at that time, the state will definitely be sufficient!"
Chen Ping continued.
And after listening to what he said.
Win Changsheng couldn't help but feel.
This is a terrible one.
There's some truth to that.
Once these powerful people lend grain to the people, they become the creditors of the people.
Creditors fall, for those who owe debt.
It's just not too good.
At that time, as long as Daqin announces, their previous debts will not be counted.
At that time, the people will definitely applaud.
Even, they will take the initiative to step on the original creditor.
This is where the root of human nature lies.
However, it is exactly where Win Changsheng can take advantage of it.
And the heroes, without the support of the people, how many people are there in total?
How big a storm can it stir up?
The most important thing is that once these powerful families fall, it will be a great thing for Daqin.
First, there are many less, and the interests of those who oppose Great Qin are damaged.
Second, out of thin air, the imperial court can obtain a large amount of money and grain.
Isn't that a good thing?
After Ying Changsheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel that Chen Ping's plan was simply too good.
He said.
"Then according to this method, with the order of this son, let all the affected places, local large households, must lend to the affected victims, the maximum limit, to eat next year's food, of course, not in vain, use the decree to tell these local large households, they can set the interest, the interest is set at the annual interest rate of 30%, not high, not low, enough for them to agree!"
"Nineteen sons are wise!"
On the side, Chen Ping and others gave up their hands one after another.
Wang Jian is gearing up.
"Now that the strategy has been agreed, the nineteenth prince, at that time, whoever you want to clean up will be handed over to the minister, this first step, ask the local tyrants to lend grain to the people, there will definitely be unwilling people, these people, will be handed over to the minister to clean up!"
"Okay, we just need to kill a few chickens to make an example of the monkeys!"
Ying Changsheng said with a slight bow.
After the decree was issued.
There will definitely be powerful people who will not do this.
The reason is also very simple.
If you lend grain to the people, the annual interest rate is only 30%!
Sancheng, that sounds great.
People in later generations, when they hear that they can have such a high interest, are afraid that they will be crazy with pleasure.
However, for the current heroes of Great Qin.
This interest, in their eyes, is too low.
Well, you heard it right, it's too low.
Because, in a disaster year, the price of food skyrocketed more than tenfold.
A mere 30% interest.
Ten times the profit compared to the original.
Of course, they know which one of them is worth choosing.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that a large number of large households, under the pretext that there is no food, will refuse to lend to the people.
In this regard, of course Ying Changsheng will not believe it - how can Haoqiang not have food in store this year?
In the age of agriculture.
In feudal society.
A symbol of wealth is not a currency at all.
It's food!
There must be a large amount of grain in their warehouse.
Where would Win Changsheng believe their nonsense.
So, if there is anyone, do not dare to borrow grain.
Win Changsheng doesn't mind, kill people!
After the decree was issued.
It is located not far from the capital county.
At this moment, after hearing the order given by Ying Changsheng.
The prefectural order of Jing County.
Immediately reacted.
Then, he asked his men to go to various places to inform those big families of the news.
Sure enough, just as Ying Changsheng expected.
Some large households, under the pretext of having no food at home.
Then, refuse to borrow grain.
I saw it, outside a big mansion of the Wang family in Jingxian County.
At this moment, a middle-aged man was pointing to the countryside people who came to borrow food outside the house.
"Let me tell you, although the imperial court said that it had issued a decree, the problem is that I really don't have food at home, so folks, I'd better go back, I really don't have food at home!"
"Master Wang, what's going on with the grain sold in your grain shop?"
"This ......"
The face of the man who was talking suddenly changed.
Following the voice, he looked at the young man who was questioning not far away.
Immediately, he made a look, and the two thugs who were raised at home behind him stepped forward.
At the young man, it was a violent beating.
"This is the end of talking nonsense, that grain shop, not in the order, if you really want food, then go to the grain shop and buy it, anyway, I don't have food, lend it to you!"
"You ......"
For a time, the villagers were very angry.
However, they had no choice.
Because, the person in front of him is not easy to deal with.
His surname is Wang, and in his early years, he was still a hero in Jingxian County.
The so-called hero, to put it bluntly, is a hooligan leader.
There is a gang of men.
In normal times, there is no less harm to the township.
However, for these people, ordinary people don't dare, provoke them, they can only swallow their anger.
Watch the people retreat.
Wang Chengde couldn't help but sneer.
"Hmph, the Nineteenth Prince is really whimsical, do you really think that with a decree, we will lend grain to these people? He's better go back to Guanzhong and play in the mud! ”
"That's what the master said!"
The doglegs on the side hurriedly complimented.
Immediately, he reminded again.
"By the way, sir, this drought is getting more and more serious, and I think that we should increase the price of the grain store by fifty percent?"
"What else? Little family gas! ”
Wang Chengde sneered, and then, he opened his mouth and said.
"Directly double it again, and finally encounter a disaster year, can't you make a good profit?"
"What the lord said is that the lord is wise!"
subordinates, complimented one after another.
And just as Wang Chengde was accepting the compliments from his subordinates, he didn't know that right now, not far away, a brocade guard dressed as a common man was secretly observing all this.
Immediately, the brocade guard left in a hurry.
Go and report the news to Ying Changsheng.
Two days later.
Inside Luoyang City.
When the message is received.
Ying Changsheng immediately slapped the table, and then opened his mouth and said.
"Let's clean up this Wang Chengde first!"
"Nineteen sons, there are several more, let's clean them up along the way!"
Chen Ping, who was on the side, sorted out the list of Haoqiang who refused to borrow grain from the report, and said to Ying Changsheng.
In fact, Haoqiang in Guanzhong really has no one willing to borrow food for the time being.
Of course, it is the first case like Wang Chengde to be rampant.
