Chapter 70: Life-saving money

Xu Jingchang got up very early, he found a casual clothes, and he didn't bring extra accessories on his body, just took a fan, which is not out of the New Year, not for the fan, what he wants is the style of a rich son.

Let's not talk about this fan, just the fan pendant is a good piece of ancient jade, and the work in the palace is still given by Zhu Yuanzhang.

There is really no way, there is a royal gift in someone else's mansion, and it must be offered. But Xu Mansion can't, Xu Da followed Zhu Yuanzhang from birth to death for decades, ranking first among heroes, and he is a family of children.

In the early years, Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou often ran to the palace, and during the New Year's holidays, they often went to the house to get good things.

Xu Jingchang can't let the good things be dusted, so he can only enjoy them reluctantly.

"Prepare the carriage, go to Rongguo Gong first, and then go to the Qinhuai River."

When the family heard it, they all felt fresh.

Our son-in-law really took the unusual path to take an old monk to drink flower wine and visit the Qinglou, this is something that people can do?

Despite the big guy's slander, he didn't dare to say anything. Today's Xu Jingchang is no longer the child he was at the beginning, and when he encounters something, he still needs to discuss it with his general.

As a political envoy, my power is unlimited.

Not necessarily in the Ming Dynasty, but in the Xu family, it must be like this.

He got into the carriage and invited Yao Guangxiao, and then the two of them arrived at the teahouse not far from the Qinhuai River Painting Boat.

At the beginning, Xu Jingchang took Zhu Di over to arrest officials, and now he is revisiting his hometown.

Yao Guangxiao rolled his triangular eyes, "Next time you come to this kind of place, don't call me Lao Wei, I'm not interested." ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your old man is a Buddha cultivator, I invite you to come and see, what is the Buddha and Bodhisattva in the hearts of the people, this is a good thing to help you practice, but you only think about the pink skeleton." The realm of the two of us, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Yao Guangxiao said twice, "The old man has not seen the Buddha and Bodhisattva, only smells the smell of copper." ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "The statues in the temple are all piled up with gold and jade, which shows that the way of copper smell is the most spiritual." ”

Yao Guangxiao took a breath and said lightly: "Let's see!" ”

The old monk didn't say much, and Xu Jingchang just drank tea.

Just below the teahouse, it turned out to be a loan shop.

The door face is not big, there are only two, far less than many magnificent shops, in a hurry, there is not much preparation, just hang out the words "Hanwang Loan".

Before it even opened, it was already bustling outside, and many people came.

There were also newsboys holding the newspaper and shouting loudly.

It doesn't matter if you can't read, there are even people who help read the newspaper and preach about loans.

"Everyone, listen up, this is the business of His Royal Highness King Han...... Does His Royal Highness the King of Han know? It is a well-known good man, the conscience of the Ming Dynasty, he feels sorry for the people, as long as it is a profit of five percent, everyone listens, this is a year's profit, not half a year, three months. There's nothing profitable either. ”

"You don't know, His Royal Highness the King of Han was falsely accused by traitors and fined a lot of property in order to help the poor people. But His Royal Highness the King of Han still feels sorry for the big guy and is willing to lend. ”

"Those who lack money at home, those who are not able to take on, and those who can't live their lives. If you owe Yinzi money and can't pay it back, you don't need to sell your children and daughters, come here to borrow money, King Han guarantees, Tong Su is not bullied! ”

A few days ago, Xu Jingchang asked Wang Zhong to take the Han Wang's family property and travel to the streets in the sky.

More and more people know about the Han King, and although many people will be skeptical, some people finally have the courage to take the first step.

After they went in, they quickly got the loan and came out happy.

About half an hour later, in the crowd, a rickety old farmer mustered up his courage and walked in.

"My mother-in-law is seriously ill, and she is almost breathing, and the money to buy medicine can't be made, someone told me that I will sell my daughter in exchange for money to save her mother, but I think about it, even if her mother lives, I heard that the girl is sold, she can't live...... There's no way around me. ”

The old farmer said, covering his face and weeping bitterly.

The person in charge of lending nodded and asked, "Do you have land at home?" ”

"Yes, it's just a renter's house, if it was my own, I would have sold it a long time ago."

The lender nodded again, "Then do you know how to do it?" Is there a way to make a living? ”

The old farmer said: "I am still a mason, and I can help others build houses when I am not working, and I can earn some pocket money all year round." ”

The lender asked where he lived, was it a good family with a full household...... The old farmer answered one by one.

The lender nodded, "In this case, you can borrow up to 100 yuan, and by this time next year, you can pay back 115 yuan." Would you like to? ”

The old farmer was stunned, and his lips trembled: "How much?" ”

"It's one hundred and fifteen times, and the annual interest is one percent five, do you understand?"

"Listen, I understand!" The old farmer couldn't help but be overjoyed, a hundred yuan of treasure banknotes, which sounds like a lot, but at the current value, the treasure banknotes have always been thirty or fifty yuan, which is three or five taels of silver, and the profit is less than one tael, which is several hundred yuan. In the summer, get up early and be greedy for darkness, build a few more houses, not only from the hometown, but also from other villages, and work for a few months, and you can definitely pay it back.

If you can pay a little hard work, you can save your mother-in-law, and the fool is unwilling!

"She and I have been with me for most of our lives, and we have not fallen into good shape. I'm afraid that if I borrow money, I can't pay it back, and I won't be able to save her life, so I put the whole family in. ”

The borrower said patiently: "This is arranged by His Royal Highness the King of Han, if it is true that because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the loan can not be repaid, it can be extended appropriately, as for the profit, it can be negotiated, and it will not force the big guy to be cornered." And I can also tell you one thing, these treasure money borrowed can be used to pay off Tian Fu and Ding Yin, and you can also buy salt. ”

"Really?" The old peasant exclaimed, "Do you want the master of the yamen?" ”

The loan officer smiled: "The treasure banknotes you and I see have a large seal stamped by the household department on the back, you can rest assured, these treasure banknotes can not only pay taxes, but also do not depreciate." This is all the grace that His Royal Highness and His Majesty the King of Han begged for, the big guy must believe that His Majesty and the King of Han both hope that the common people are good, that is, there are some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they have black hearts and livers, and there are some unreasonable gentry and rich families in the local area, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow. Don't worry, this is a loan approved by the imperial court, and His Royal Highness the King of Han still has to pay taxes on his money, who dares to obstruct it, the Qingtian Lord of the Criminal Department will give the ......"

The old peasant listened carefully, remembered them one by one, and then took a hundred pieces and came out of the main gate.

He looked back at the small shop and suddenly fell to his knees.

"Living Bodhisattva, I'm kowtowing!"

After saying this, the old man got up from the ground and turned his head to go to the pharmacy...... I picked up three pairs of medicines and hurried home...... A countryman, not to save his mother-in-law, where does he dare to enter Yingtian City?

He relied on his courage to enter Yingtian, found the pharmacy, and asked about the medicine...... But he has a little bit of money, where is it enough!

He wandered around outside for a long time, and at night he leaned against a poplar tree and slept all night.

Unable to think of a way to save his wife, he was unwilling to go back.

If you go back, you'll only have to sell your daughter.

Fortunately, the pharmacy was not far from the Qinhuai River, and when I turned the day, I heard someone talking about the loan with a newspaper, and the old farmer relied on his courage to borrow money.

He had never been so brave in his life...... A person who usually doesn't even come out of the village has entered the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the heart of the world.

I went to the big pharmacy, asked the famous doctor of the time, and borrowed money from the king of Han to buy medicine...... The old man carried three pairs of medicines, trotted all the way, and rushed home desperately.

By the time he got home, it was already the middle of the night, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he was planted in the yard.

Hearing the voice, the son and daughter hurried out, and the neighbors and villagers also heard the news and carried the old man into the house.

"Don't, leave me alone, make a medicine for the child."

The old farmer muttered in a low voice, and the villagers were also very moved when they heard it.

"Old Ma, don't worry, the third aunt went to boil medicine, she will do this. We'll give you a bowl of noodles, you haven't eaten in the past two days, right? You're starving! ”

This is true, a poor people, in order to save his wife's life, is reluctant to spend a penny...... got the loan and bought medicinal herbs, and he was reluctant to spend the remaining money.

How expensive things are in the capital!

In the future, I have to work hard, pay back the money early, and there is still money, which is not missing at all.

Ma Laohan ate noodles and had spirits.

My wife over there also drank medicine, and I have to say that this famous doctor is powerful, just listening to the symptoms and prescribing medicine, it is actually effective.

Three pairs of medicine down, my wife is really good.

And Ma Laohan's trip to the sky turned out to be a celebrity in the village.

Don't look less than a hundred miles away from the capital, but in this isolated village, there are not many people who dare to go to the capital to see the world, and even fewer can get things done.

Especially if you dare to borrow money, it's even more powerful!

The villagers finally knew that in Yingtian, there was His Royal Highness the King of Han, who had low profits and was willing to help the poor, and was a real living Bodhisattva.

"Young Master Yao, it is not difficult to become a Buddha, as long as you are willing to lower the interest rate on the borrowed money. However, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the temple were eager to turn the last copper plate in the pockets of the people into fireworks. In this way, not to mention Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, even if they are Shura evil ghosts, they are ashamed! ”

Yao Guangxiao rarely took the lead, "Indeed, it seems that the old man has to take out his property." ”
