Wu Hong's face was embarrassed.

"Your Excellency."

"You've seen the situation in our house with your own eyes, and we really can't come up with the money now......"

It is undeniable that what Wu Huanian said is very reasonable.

They were also very impressed, but they really ran out of money.

You know, Shannan Province is a very polarized place.

To the west is the land of Hanzhong, which is rich in products and grain, and the people live a relatively rich life.

To the east, there are continuous mountains and rivers, and the land suitable for cultivation is scarce, not to mention the Huai River, which is a harmful river, which floods from time to time.

The life of the people is really a day for cats and dogs, and no one knows if they will be able to eat enough tomorrow.

And the people are like this, how good can the life of their government be?

After all, the government also needs the people's taxes to support it......

Wu Huanian certainly understands these situations.

However, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Even after hearing Wu Hong's words, he smiled.

"You don't have any money, others do."

Wu Huanian said slowly: "To tell you the truth, I have already helped you think of a way to deal with money." ”

Hear this.

Everyone in the audience looked puzzled.

Did he think of a way?

What's the solution?

Wu Hong blinked and asked, "Could it be that Lord Wu is planning to use the disaster relief grain money given by the imperial court to Shannan Province?" ”

He remembers.

The imperial court took out a lot of money at that time.

If Wu Huanian embezzled the imperial court's disaster relief funds to do this thing to restore people's livelihood, it would be reasonable.

But Wu Huanian made a big roll of his eyes.

"Disaster relief."

"How much money does the imperial court give us in total, you don't count it yourself?"

"Those hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have already been spent."

Wu Huanian didn't tell a lie.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which looks like a lot.

But during this time, their expenses are much greater.

If nothing else, let's talk about the migrant workers who opened the river.

It was all hired by Wu Huanian with money, not only to provide them with food and drink every day, but also to give them wages, and also to give food to their families.

When all these things are added together, there must be nearly 10,000 taels of silver a day.

And the imperial court only gave him a total of more than 400,000 taels of silver.

After a month, I don't have much left on hand.

Where is there enough to cultivate fish fry for these people and restore people's livelihood?

Of course, Wu Hong also knew that Wu Huanian was not lying.

He pursed his lips and said suspiciously: "The money that Lord Wu said is ......"

"Loans!"

Wu Huanian spit out two words.

Loan?

Hear this.

The officials in the stadium looked at each other.

What does a loan mean?

Wu Huanian didn't hesitate, and when he saw everyone's doubts, he immediately explained: "Loan, is the so-called loan. ”

"I have some friends in Wolong County, and these people have a lot of spare money in their hands."

"I've already talked to them."

"They are willing to lend money to you, so that everyone can do things for the people."

I don't wait for others to speak.

Wu Huanian continued: "Of course, as long as it comes to borrowing this word, it can't be gratuitous. ”

"Everyone needs to pay 10% of the amount borrowed to the borrower as interest every year."

"And these loans can be recorded on the heads of the county government and the government office."

"When the county government and the government have money, it's good to return it."

Wu Huanian looked around at the few people present and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" ”

10% interest.

That is, borrow a hundred taels, and repay ten taels more every year.

This is quite cost-effective in the modern lending system.

After all, there are many people who do these loans and trades, and they have adjusted the interest to 30% to 4%.

And more importantly.

They can hang this account on the head of the county government.

That means they don't need to pay back the money at all.

At this time, many people are also a little moved.

Building impounded rivers and cultivating aquatic products are all good things that kill multiple birds with one stone.

If only that were to happen.

Not only can it prevent future floods, but also let the people never suffer from floods again.

It can also restore people's livelihood as soon as possible through the sale of aquatic products, and bring high tax returns to the county.

The county town is rich, and the people are rich.

Will they be far from being promoted and getting rich?

And more importantly, they don't need to spend money to do all of this.

They just need to use their temper and follow along, and they can do it.

No matter how you look at it.

It's all pie-in-the-sky good thing.

But there are some smart people.

For example, Wang Yu.

Wang Yu asked suspiciously, "Master Wu, is this true?" Don't we have to pay back this money? ”

He was cheated by Wu Huanian.

Now it is inevitable to suspect that at this time it is the pit that Wu Huanian dug for them.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the officials in the audience also fell on Wu Huanian.

Obviously, they have the same concerns.

Wu Huanian smiled slightly.

"The money was lent to the county government."

"Naturally, there is no need for everyone who is in charge to pay it back."

Wu Huanian paused, glanced at the people present, and said: "And the money needed to dig a fish pond to restore people's livelihood is not a small amount, and it is tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

"And if you count on your 1,800 taels a year, even if you are allowed to pay it back for a lifetime, you can't afford to pay it back......"

His words are not good, but they are also true.

Compared with all dynasties, the welfare benefits of the officials of the great cadres are relatively good.

But at the end of the year, it is a matter of 1,800 taels of silver, and it is not bad to feed a family.

If they are allowed to give money to the people to restore their livelihoods, it will be tantamount to their lives.

And Wu Huanian said this.

The officials in the venue also had confidence.

"In that case."

"Then you can do this......"

The county commander Gong Youde rubbed his chin and said, "The lower officials are willing to support Master Wu!" ”

When Wu Huanian heard this, he couldn't help but look at this Gong Youde twice, and secretly said in his heart: "This kid is very good." ”

If he's not mistaken.

Last time he said that he wanted to open a water storage river, it was also this Gong Youde who was the first to stand up and support him.

This time he was the first to stand up and take a stand.

made Wu Huanian's favorability towards him increase exponentially.

"Good!"

"Lord Gong is really a person with eyes as wise as a torch."

Wu Huanian beckoned to Shi Hu: "Stone! You take the loan deed and show it to Lord Gong. ”

"Yes!"

Shi Hu nodded yes, turned around and took a deed and handed it to Gong Youde.

glanced at the contents of the deed.

Gong Youde's face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise: "My lord, are all the conditions above true?" ”

"Use the central street in the county as collateral."

"Can you lend us 300,000 taels of silver in the county?"

Although their county is not poor, it is definitely not rich.

There are more than 100 shops on the central street.

With more than 100 dilapidated shops as collateral, you can get 300,000 taels of silver.

It's like giving money away for nothing......

After all, it's not enough, so just give them the shop.

Anyway, no one can look down on those broken shops......

And heard Gong Youde's words.

Everyone in the venue was interested, and hurriedly begged Wu Huanian to come over with the deed.

Wu Huanian smiled and instructed Shi Hu to get it.

"This deed has the name of the county seat and the name of the county ordinance written on it."

"The big guy takes the deed according to the name, don't take the wrong one, and don't take too much."

Wu Huanian paced in the middle of the field and said, "If you think there is no problem, you can sign and draw now, and someone will send money to your county government within five days." ”
