"This way, the front is it."

Walking on the spacious and neat brick and stone sidewalk dotted with greenery, the girl who was the guide in front of me jumped a little.

Huo Quzhi looked up, and a tall building with no small scale of people coming in and out was at the end of this street, just on the edge of an intersection.

"Agriculture. Banks. ”

Although the plaque of Qianzhuang is not written in the official script, with the relevance of the official script and the regular script, Huo Quzhi still recognized those words.

He asked the guide girl in front of him with some curiosity.

"Agricultural money village, do you have any special meaning in this name?"

Hearing Huo Quai's question, the girl turned around and explained a little timidly.

"Uh-huh."

"In Liaodi, under the rule of the king, there are three major categories of money, agriculture, industry and commerce, and marine industry."

"Although the basic business of the three types of money banks is the same, which is to store assets, depending on the work you do, you can get some convenience in the money bank related to the work content."

"For example, in agricultural banks, it is faster for farmers to apply for loans than in the other two banks, and the same is true for the other two banks."

Maybe it's because of what I'm interested in.,The social fear on the girl's face is much less.,Become a little more confident.。

Hearing the loan, Huo's mother beside Huo Quzhi frowned.

"Officials here also lend money?"

As Huo's mother, who has experienced hardships, she knows better than her son the shocking bones behind lending.

Once an official lends a loan, it can almost be said that the person who receives the loan, or even the family, will eventually become the slave of the lending official, and eventually all his own things will become the private property of those officials.

Whether it's the field, or itself.

As long as this thing is glued, in this life, no, children and grandchildren will never be able to escape.

Once, Huo's mother almost embarked on this road, but fortunately, her sister and brother found another way out, so they were spared.

"Officials lending?"

A trace of doubt appeared on the girl's face, and then she said to Huo Mu.

"Officials in Liaodi are not qualified to lend, and there are only three major money banks that can lend, this is an iron law set by the king, and anyone who lends money privately will be punished with death."

"Well, I somewhat understand what the old lady is worried about, but the money system in Liaodi has gradually improved after several years of operation."

"In the words of the king, money and currency need to be circulated to give birth to value, and hiding wealth from the people is the original intention of the birth of the money bank."

The girl said what she had learned, but Huo Mu was not touched in any way, she just asked.

"What about interest? Just farming, can the people afford the interest? In the end, he didn't vomit out all the things he had. ”

"Why can't I pay the interest?"

The girl was even more puzzled.

"In the case of agricultural farms, for example, a farmer who needs to cultivate his land does not have enough money to buy the seeds he needs to plant on his own land."

He then borrowed seventy coins from the bank, which he used to buy seeds, farm implements, and lease cattle to clear the fields.

"And subsequently, the farmer uncle because of the fertilizer, and borrowed 80 coins, a total of 150 yuan, after half a year of hard work, Liaodi did not suffer any disaster, with the current situation of four acres of land per capita in Liaodi, the farmer uncle can produce 700 catties of sweet potatoes, 600 catties of potatoes, 400 catties of corn, and nearly 200 catties of wheat."

Listen to the yield that the girl said.

Huo Quzhi and his party all laughed.

This is farming, this is clearly planting money.

They smiled, and the right thing was that this girl was still from a small family and well-off, and she had never worked in the field at all.

As she spoke, the girl also noticed the disbelief in their eyes.

When she boarded, the emotion called social fear surged back in her heart, and her speech became soft and timid, she turned around a little aggrieved and continued to lead the way, but her mouth was still talking about her calculations.

According to the current official grain purchase price in Liaodi, it is nine catties of wet grain and one qiqian, and the farmer who borrowed the loan can exchange it for two hundred and twelve qiqian by virtue of his hard work for half a year, which is enough to pay off the loan. Because Liaodi Qianzhuang has no interest at all for the first two years of each agricultural loan."

The girl's voice was so small that Huo Quzhi and the others behind her couldn't hear it at all.

But there was one person who heard it, and that was Huo Guang.

When he arrived in a new place, the children looked at everything new, so he walked faster than Huo Qu's illness and them.

Seeing the girl's depression and hearing the girl's final calculation, he quietly pulled the girl's clothes.

"Sister's magic is very powerful, I'm still counting how much grain the farmer uncle you said has harvested, my sister has calculated the final profit, it's really amazing, can you teach me, hehe."

Grinning, Huo Guang showed a bright smile and looked up at the girl.

"Okay."

Looking at Huo Guang's smiling face, the little grievance that the girl just felt disappeared in an instant.

Affirmation, even the affirmation of a child younger than herself, this is an extremely happy thing for the girl.

"Hehe, my sister said that the farmer uncle in Liaodi can have more than 200 income a year from farming, is this true?"

Huo Guang's voice was a little louder, so that Huo Quzhi and the others behind him could hear it clearly.

Huo Mu was still shaking her head, she didn't believe it, she could earn thousands of dollars a year just by farming, and she knew now that one Qi Qian could be exchanged for ten Han coins.

It's not that she hasn't farmed, when she pulled Huo Qu to get sick, she stayed in the field all year round, and more than a dozen acres of thin fields were finally enough for her mother and her mother to barely eat.

It still depends on God's will, if there is a disaster, not to mention the hard work of the year, you have to find something extra to cover the taxes.

Those days, alas.

Thinking of the previous life, Huo's mother's face also had a little sadness, and now her son gave up the position of marquis of the Han Dynasty and came here, and she didn't know what her life would be like in the future.

"yes, really."

The girl nodded affirmatively at Huo Guang.

And Huo Guang didn't continue to ask rhetorically, but walked on the road while looking for someone.

It didn't take long for Huo Guang to see the person he was looking for.

He walked a few quick steps, came to an old man resting on the side of the road, straightened his clothes, and bowed his hands.

"The elder is above, and the kid is puzzled, I don't know if the elder can solve the kid's confusion."

Looking at this little guy who suddenly appeared in front of him and looked like a little adult, the resting old man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Come on, come on, let's talk about it, see if my old bone can solve it for your little guy, hehe, this little guy is very popular."

Huo Quzhi and others also walked to Huo Guang, although they didn't know what Huo Guang was going to do, but for his younger brother (son), who had been smart since he was a child, Huo Quai, Huo's mother and his mother also came by him.

In the laughter of the old man, Huo Guang straightened up, and he asked in a respectful tone, "Dare to ask if the elder has a field at home?" ”

"Naturally, there is, my family, at the beginning, I divided ten acres of fertile land, my kid also competed, willing to work hard, and later bought a few acres of thin fields in the Department of Agriculture, and the family field was seventeen acres, what do you want to ask?"

"Elder, boy and mother, brother has just arrived here, so I would like to ask the elder how much food can be produced in a year?"

"This," the old man stroked his long beard and thought for a moment.

"This output, I remember that in the first year I came to Liaodi, the output of one acre of land was only about one hundred and twenty catties."

So much!?

Huo Mu was shocked.

"But then, the king set up the name.. What is the name of my memory, it is getting worse and worse every year. ”

"Composting ponds and later a fertilizer production plant."

The girl reminded on the side.

"That's right! That's it! ”

The old man patted his thigh, and his words were a little excited.

"This is a living thing, the king is really worthy of being the son of God, and he can figure out anything."

"Boy, let me tell you, this fertilizer is amazing, the output of one mu in my field in the first year is only one hundred and twenty catties, but after using chemical fertilizer, the yield of wheat planted in my field in the second year will be two or three hundred catties!"

"So much!"

Huo Mu couldn't help but exclaim at this time.

She thought that the previous output of 120 catties could be regarded as the limit yield of fertile land, because her own family was almost this number.

Unexpectedly, the output of the fields behind it soared to two or three hundred catties, which is really a living thing!

"Why don't you believe in the old lady, I can be regarded as the first batch of people to follow the king, I guard the field every day, this can still be fake!"

"I'll tell you, these three hundred catties are just like that!"

The old man also rises more and more as he talks, which has a sense of regretting the past eventful years.

"I remember, a few years ago, Jun Shang suddenly took a boat and went to sea."

"That guy, that battle, I still remember it vividly."

"I don't know what the purpose of this ship is to go to sea, but what Lao Yu knows is that since the ship came back, within half a year, the king has taken out several new crops for cultivation."

"Good fellow, guess what!"

"What's wrong?"

Huo Mu asked at the same time as the housekeeper of Huo Mansion.

"What a fetish!"

"The one called sweet potato, planted and fertilized one acre of land, but in a few months, there was actually a yield of more than 700 catties per mu!"

"Huh?"

"The one called the potato, planted and fertilized one acre of land, but in a few months, there was actually a yield of five or six hundred catties!"

"Huh?"

"The one called corn, one acre of land is planted, fertilized and waited for more than half a year, and one acre of land can harvest three or four hundred catties!"

"Huh?"

The old man said the yield of each crop.

Huo Mu and the housekeeper of Huo Mansion couldn't help but make a sound.

This is so unbelievable that it does not correspond to their perception at all.

"Ah, what, what the old man said is true!"

"If you don't believe it, it's the answer to ask anyone casually, if you don't believe it, you look at it."

The old man, perhaps having rested enough, stood up and pulled a man who was passing by a few people.

"Guy, how much do you say we have in one acre of sweet potatoes in Liaodi?"

"More than seven hundred, what's wrong uncle, why are you asking this, I still have to go to work."

"Well, go ahead, it's okay."

"Hey, girl, you say"

I asked several passers-by in a row, and their answers were all the same.

At this moment, even if Huo Mu and the others still thought it was impossible, they had some thoughts in their hearts.

"Thank you for the elder's explanation, the kid understands now."

Seeing the appearance of the old man, Huo Guang hurriedly surrendered his hand.

And the old man seemed to be a little unsatisfied.

"Hahaha, little guy, next time you have a question, I'll ask the old man!"

"Good!"

Huo Guang responded loudly, and then pulled Huo Quzhi and the others away.

Fortunately, the money bank is also close at hand.

"I didn't expect that farming here can really live and work in peace and contentment, no wonder the people I saw along the way went to Qingzhou"

Huo Mu muttered.

And Huo Quzhi walked to the girl.

"We all came from Handi, and we don't know much about Liaodi, so don't take it to heart."

"No, it won't."

The girl shook her head, and the smile on her face grew brighter.

"You don't talk to strangers very often, you can see that you are a little cramped, why does your husband give you such homework?"

At this moment, Huo Quzhi also asked with some curiosity.

This time he came to Liaodi was completely different from the last time, and he seemed to have found that under Zhang Qi's governance, these places were different from those of Han Land.

In the face of Huo Quai's questioning, the girl thought about it and said a little firmly.

"Sir said that every personality has its own life, and it is up to me whether I want to change or not, and I want to change, so Sir gave me this homework."

"I am very grateful to Sir, he never has a different attitude because of the difference between people, he has always treated us the same, whether we are naughty or timid, he is trying to teach us knowledge and truth."

Between words.

The crowd had already arrived at the door of the bank.

At the doorway, several guards armed with shields and iron rods did not squint.

Only one of the guards who saw the girl had a few corners of his mouth outlined.

"Brother-in-law."

"Hello brothers."

The girl politely greeted them one by one, but did not receive a response.

The girl was used to it, and she knew that the guards would not bother anyone unless they were a thug.

"Several, this is Qian Zhuang, do you still need me to guide you?"

The girl asked.

Huo Quzhi nodded.

"I'm still going to trouble you for some time, I just came here, and we don't understand a lot of things."

"Hmm."

The girl nodded with a smile on her face.

entered the money village, and under the guidance of the girl's sister, Huo Quzhi collected all the money he brought this time.

He felt that since he was going to live here, he should simply apply for a bank account.

It's still a bit troublesome to carry around.
