Liu's family must rise

Although the branch of Longjiang Money House is located in Gaomi County and is not in Qingzhou Prefecture, most of its business is related to Qingzhou Prefecture, and now there is a complete plan for this year's disaster relief business. Kong Zhan said: "Longjiang Money House has prepared tens of thousands of silver. As long as you can take out the collateral, everyone can directly exchange the grain home with the bank ticket. Moreover, Longjiang Money House has collateral, so you are not afraid that everyone will not pay back the money."

The reason why Kong Zhan was so happy about this matter was because the loan of 60,000 taels of silver was the same as the 60,000 taels of silver was entrusted to Laizhou Prefecture, which contained a rebate of 10,000 taels of silver, and the specific distribution of this rebate of 10,000 taels of silver was handed over to Kong Zhan. The more beautiful Kong Zhan did the work, the more rebates he could get.

But Zhong Yuzheng is a real old man. He immediately asked, "Why don't you worry about not paying back the money with collateral?"

Kong Zhan didn't expect Zhong Yuzheng to have such a poisonous eye. He immediately said, "With the temple, palace, tribe field, and academy as collateral, everyone can't repay the money."

Longjiang Money House naturally has a final say on how to use the 20,000-stone rice beans this time.

Just as Liu Peng dared to lend three thousand stones of grain to Zhong Yuzheng but did not want any collateral at all, because Zhong Yuzheng was the number one gentry in Qingzhou Prefecture, and was not afraid that Zhong Yuzheng would not return the 5,000 stone rice beans with principal and interest. The main target of Longjiang Money House this time was the temples, Taoist temples, academies, tribe temples and other public institutions in Qingzhou Prefecture.

Since these public institutions usually accept local support from their hometowns, almost all their sources of funding are from the people of the village and tribe. After the disaster comes, they naturally have to assume the obligation to help the villagers and tribesmen, and organize relief and porridge as soon as possible.

But whether it is a temple, academie, or a tribe temple, their financial resources are very limited, and all the efforts they make can naturally be described as a drop in the bucket. In this case, they became the main targets of Longjiang Money House.

This was not Liu Peng's idea, but the solution that Zhang Yiming had come up with, temples, Taoist temples, academies, and clan temples now had such an opportunity to repay society. No matter how high the rice price is, they would have to borrow money from Longjiang Money House to maintain the centripetal force of the original believers, villagers and clansmen.

Since you have borrowed money from the Longjiang Money House, you have to mortgage all the temples, Taoist temples, clan fields, academies and even ancestral halls under your name to the Longjiang Money House. With these collaterals in hand, Longjiang Money House is not afraid that the people of Qingzhou will not repay the money. Otherwise, the temples, Taoist temples, clan fields, academies and even ancestral halls will be taken away by the Longjiang Money House. No one has the face to keep everyone, even if they grit their teeth, they will pay off the money.

After listening to Kong Zhan’s specific arrangements, Zhong Yuzheng had a high evaluation of Liu Peng: “Mr. Liu is indeed an extremely smart person. If I borrow 3,000 stones, I only need to repay 5,000 stones. How much do they have to pay?”

Kong Zhan immediately said: "Next year, the summer grain will be repaid with 10% of the interest rate."

On the surface, Zhong Yu suffered a great loss. He borrowed 3,000 stones of grain but had to pay 5,000 stones of grain. He had to pay about 70% of the interest in a year. However, the Qingzhou Palace Temple borrowed money from the Longjiang Money House, and by May and June next year, he would only pay 10% of the interest.

But the problem is that the Gongguan Temple in Qingzhou Prefecture borrowed money from Longjiang Money House and paid back money. The current rice price is as high as 3 taels of 1 tael. When the summer grain is on the market next year, the rice price will inevitably plummet. It would be good if it could be a 1 tael of 1 tael. This loan is actually at least one to three points of borrowing.

However, Zhong Yuzheng did not think that the loan conditions of Longjiang Money House were too harsh. This was a major disaster that had not been encountered in hundreds of years. I am afraid that many people would not be able to borrow more harsh money. When they thought about it, Zhong Yuzheng sighed: "There is infinite merit, this is really infinite merit... Kong Tuizheng!"

Kong Zhan saw that Zhong Yuzheng's tone became very formal, and he immediately asked, "What is the matter between Mr. Zhong and his subordinates?"

Zhong Yuzheng asked very seriously: "Official Kong Tui, have you read the Records of the Grand Historian Han Dynasty?"

Kong Zhan didn't understand what Zhong Yu was doing when he suddenly mentioned the Records of the Grand Historian. He hesitated for a moment: "I didn't read much, I'm not too familiar with it..."

Zhong Yu's expression became a little stern: "Official Kong Tui, can you see if my Zhong family prosper in a hundred years?"

Kong Zhan immediately replied: "Old Zhong teaches his children well, and has gathered many heroes in his clan, and has thousands of achievements in living people. The Zhong family will surely prosper!"

"Yes..." Zhong Yuzheng said something strange: "I heard that thousands of people live have descendants, and more than ten thousand people live. Will it be prosperous in future generations?"

Kong Zhan was about to answer the conversation, but the next moment he felt that the limelight was very wrong. When he thought about the origin of Zhong Yuzheng's words, his sweat suddenly came down. I wouldn't say this!

This is definitely not said!

This is more than just inappropriate words, it is simply a rebellious thing!

Although Kong Zhan is a juren, he can only be considered a person who is not good at learning. Therefore, although he has read a lot of Shiwen and even compiled a lot of Shiwen collections, he has not read much of the classics, history, and essays outside Shiwen. The latest and fastest update

But no matter how unlearning he was, he had to understand the customs and customs of Shandong when he went to Shandong. However, he didn't like studying very much, so he raised a small opera troupe at home that could tell stories about Shandong's stories. His understanding of Shandong's customs and history basically came from the few little fairies in this small opera troupe.

So Kong Zhan never read the Records of the Grand Historian. A few days ago, he heard the little fairy in the small opera troupe say what Zhong Yuzheng had just said: "I heard that thousands of people live have descendants, and more than ten thousand people live. Will it be prosperous in the future?"

Kong Zhan felt that he was so scared that he was sweating all over. He wanted to raise his hand to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, but his hands and feet were weak and he was panting. He didn't know what to do. He never thought the situation would be so serious. He could only breathe and said, "Old Zhong, what you said...you shouldn't say this!"

"What should I say? Thousands of living people in my family should be granted descendants. Liu Xunshi has great merits. More than ten thousand people live. In the future, they will prosper, and Shandong will prosper!"

This is normal, but the problem is that "I heard that thousands of people live have descendants, and more than ten thousand people live, will it be prosperous in future generations?" This sentence was said by Wang He, another Shandong native.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the world was conquered and the people were unable to resist. Wang He, a native of Dongpingling (now Pingling City, Zhangqiu, Shandong), was descended from Tian Qi. He was appointed as the censor of the embroidered clothes and was ordered to inspect Wei County and urged the local area to catch thieves.

Wang He acted kindly and refused to go forward when he was afraid. Those who escaped at the battle often refused to kill them. The censors elsewhere killed officials below 2,000 stones and those who were killed together often did not less than 10,000. Wang He was then dismissed for his incompetence. However, when he left his post, he sighed: "I heard that thousands of people live have their descendants, and more than 10,000 people live, will it be prosperous in the future?"

The Wang family really flourished in the later generations. The problem was that Wang He had a granddaughter named Wang Zhengjun married Emperor Yuan of Han, who was the Empress Xiaoyuan of Han, and Wang Zhengjun also had a nephew named Wang Mang - yes, it was Wang Mang who usurped the Han Dynasty and established the new dynasty.

Although Shandong is a place that must be fought for by military strategists, it is a place where great people are powerful, but it cannot be produced. There has never been an emperor for thousands of years. Even in a few small countries that established their country in Shandong, the king is not a native of Shandong.

Only Wang He's clan moved from Shandong to Wei County, at least he had half an emperor like Wang Mang. Therefore, when the little fairy in the small opera troupe talked about the Shandong story, he told Wang He's story. Therefore, Kong Zhan, who was not skilled, would understand what story Zhong Yuzheng was telling at the first time, so Kong Zhan just wanted to go home and hurt the little fairy.

But the problem is that Zhong Yuzheng said this too heavily, and Kong Zhan didn't know how to answer this question: "Old Zhong, you said this too much. Mr. Liu is just a ninth-rank inspector. Wang He was an imperial garment embroiderer at that time."

But after saying this, even Kong Zhan felt that he had answered wrongly.

"So what if it's just a ninth-rank inspector!" Zhong Yu was just saying this and was upright: "Today, Liu Peng lived more than tens of thousands of people. There are no less than hundreds of thousands of people living in the three eastern prefectures because of Liu Peng. Wang He, the embroidered censor, prospered in the future because of more than 10,000 people living in the next generation, and a ninth-rank inspector, a million people living in the ninth-rank inspectors. I think Liu Peng must be prospered in the world!"

Kong Zhan's face turned pale. He didn't dare to take on the topic of Zhong Yuzheng, but Zhong Yuzheng was ignorant: "Even others, the Zhu family, don't care about this Ming Dynasty, what are you afraid of? Do you know why I was demoted to the people and why I was idle in the wild for twenty years?"

Of course, Kong Zhan knew that Zhong Yu was demoted to the people by Emperor Wanli to fight for the foundation of the country. He had been moved to the left for more than 20 years and was not allowed to use it, but he still did not dare to take over the topic of Zhong Yuzheng.

Over the past twenty years, Zhong Yu was acting like a completely hidden master. He wore a village dress and wild clothes. He usually studied behind closed doors. The scholars and officials rushed to visit him but disappeared. He even rode a small donkey when he traveled. However, he has now burst out all the complaints accumulated over twenty years: "I strive to ask the prince to marry into the Yu Sect as soon as possible, not for the world of their Zhu family, nor for the Ming Dynasty of the Zhu family, but you know clearly what happened in the end!"

Zhong Yuzheng continued, "Don't worry, I will join forces with Qi Shishui to recommend Liu Peng, Liu Da Jun to take over the position of Zhaoyuan County Magistrate. Liu Peng can lend me Zhong Yuzheng three thousand stones. Even if he is a traitor, a traitor, I will help him with all his strength! Besides, even if the Liu family is in the world, it is not the present. Liu's army is only a thousand soldiers, and it is only two or three counties. There are 136 prefectures and 1,300 prefectures in the Ming Dynasty. Now the time has not come. I will listen to his words and observe to see if he is a white-clothed scholar or Song Gongming, and see if he can accomplish anything."
