Chapter 1181 1181: Laying out and closing the net (Part 2) [Ask for monthly votes]
No one can, or at least should not, fall in love with illegal work!
Don’t pretend to fall in love with the black foreman!
This fact is explosive from every angle.
Cui Zhi stroked his forehead and spent a whole stick of incense trying not to understand what the meat bun was thinking. It was the dog's fault that the meat bun was taken away by the dog. The bun was not wrong, but the meat bun followed the dog voluntarily and did not mind being eaten, so both the dog and the meat bun deserved to be beaten!
"Have you gone to ask what's going on?"
Cui Zhi doesn't mind if a subordinate goes or stays. It's human nature for people to go up and water to go down, but he can't help but mind the other person. Walking inexplicably. How could Mr. Cui treat him badly?
The confidant said: "I asked, but I didn't ask out."
The communication between the two parties was inconvenient, and the meat bun could do Tai Chi, and a dragging trick could make people lose patience. The other party didn't say clearly that they were abandoning the Cui family. They just said that they were loyal to Erlangjun Cui Mi.
Cui Xiong has been engaged to be engaged and may get married within two or three years. According to the custom of aristocratic families, it would not be long before the male members of the family got married, divorced and separated. Brothers would live their own lives and would rarely live together - it was not like a small family could not afford to buy a new home for the new couple.
It makes sense for Rou Baozi to choose Cui Mi on his own initiative.
Well, Cui Mi gets some "family property" in advance.
Judging from the results, Roubaozi is still a vassal of the Cui family.
Cui Zhi, the head of the family, can't say anything. He can't just accuse this meat bun of trying to incite internal fighting between the Cui Xiong brothers, right? As far as Rou Baozi is concerned, his status is not that important. This is equivalent to brothers separating their families, and there is a wall that takes the initiative to follow Cui Mi.
The problem is——
Cui Mi is a special kid.
The so-called defection to Cui Mi is just to block Cui Zhi's accountability. In fact, he must have defected to Shen Zhongli! Cui Zhi thought for a moment and gave the order: "Order someone to make an unannounced visit over there. Remember not to alert the enemy. Also, bring me all the accounts over there!"
The head of the Cui family is a busy man.
During the farce of Shen Zhongli’s martial arts competition to find a bride, his life was similar every day. Cui Zhi had a whole family to worry about, and he couldn’t keep an eye on what a small county magistrate did every day. It's a trivial matter, but if you ask about it every once in a while, it's considered important. I never expected that the other party would play like this!
Cui Zhi read the contents of the report carefully twice.
A sharp eye finds some details.
"Grain seeds? Who did Shen Zhongli borrow grain seeds from?" It was not a good opportunity for farming at that time. Why did Shen Zhongli buy so many grain seeds? Preparing for next spring plowing? Then the preparation time is too early. "Did Madam intervene? Or did Ermi come forward?"
Mei Meng and the king's change had good intentions, but how many people's interests would be harmed in the process? These people will be obstacles! Even if Cui Zhi comes forward to suppress some big families and allow the new policy to be implemented at all levels, it does not mean that everyone will cooperate.
The policy was pushed down step by step, and the main force in the final implementation was subordinate officials in various places. These subordinate officials are basically local people and have deep connections in the local area. In this three-acre land, their reputation may be more useful than that of a big family, and the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
Common people want to borrow money from the government to buy grain seeds?
Isn't it these people who have the final say whether to borrow or not?
The area under Shen Zhongli's jurisdiction has accumulated bad debts for three years. If Cui hadn't come forward to fill it, this bad debt would have been filled by the next level. Now that Ms. Cui has shown her attitude that she doesn't care, if the tax revenue is not collected in the new year, how can the county government dare to lend money to Shen Tang? If we don’t borrow grain, we will at most end up with another year’s bad debts next year. If grain seeds are lent, the bad debt will not just be taxes that cannot be collected.
Shen Zhongli borrowed grain seeds and was destined to be in trouble.
Unless Cui Mi or Cui Hui secretly come forward to sell face.
Cui Zhi is not opposed to this development.
Shen Zhongli can make full use of existing connections to achieve her own goals, which is considered her ability, but she is more or less disappointed - Qi Yuanliang has only this ability?
The confidant said: "None of them."
After a pause, he said: "I borrowed it from a private businessman."
Cui Zhi's heart trembled slightly and his fingers were nimble. He fiddled with a few jade beads and asked his confidants: "She borrowed it from private merchants? How much profit did she get? When the time comes, will she return grain seeds? Or grain?"
Returning grain seeds There are some who return grain seeds. Interest.
There is interest on the returned grain when the grain is returned.
But no matter which one it is, the interest rate is much higher than the interest rate of the government's new policy. If the weather gives you face and you are lucky, there is a small chance that you can save your money, but it is more likely that you will lose everything! The farmers put in their sweat, the fields lost fertility, the county government took on the risk of borrowing money, and in the end they all made wedding dresses for merchants. Most of these merchants are attached to aristocratic families and have very dark hearts!
A little bit of arithmetic will almost kill you.
As expected——
The confidant said with a complicated look: "It's five points and two cents!"
Cui Zhi's fingers moving the abacus paused.
Looking at the abacus amount in disbelief, she almost couldn't hold back: "Five cents and two cents? Shen Zhongli really dares to borrow! Is her brain stuffed with straw? Five cents and two cents of interest, The aristocratic family dare not secretly lend such usury money, but she actually dares to borrow it? "
What is the concept of five cents and two cents?
The government lends grain seeds, and the maximum interest rate is only one cent and seven cents!
At the beginning of the New Deal, it was stipulated that the common people could only borrow from the government. After encountering heavy resistance, Mei Meng had to take a step back from the aristocratic families and allowed the common people to borrow from the private sector instead of the government, but the interest rate was stipulated for one year. It must not exceed the red line of one minute and seven centimeters.
Once you find that it exceeds one point and seventy cents, you can report it to the official.
[One point and seventy percent is approximately equal to an annual interest rate of 20%]
This interest rate is not low, but even this one point and seventy percent has affected the interests of many people. As a result, Shen Zhongli was desperate and borrowed a loan at an interest rate of five cents and two cents. How much higher than the private sector? Before Shen Zhongli borrowed grain, he didn't calculate the yield per mu in previous years?
Cui Zhi could almost foresee the scene in which this guy would lose the coffin book.
My confidants also sighed: "Who would have thought of this..."
If it is an interest of 1.7%, Shen Zhongli may still be able to turn the account from a loss to a profit. At an interest of 3.4%, there is a very small chance that he will not lose or make a profit, but the interest of 5.2%...private borrowing interest Gunli, she will have to finish it in less than two years.
Cui Zhi asked, enduring a headache.
"Have you found out who she borrowed it from?"
Cui Zhi thought of another possibility.
If Shen Zhongli borrowed money from a merchant named Qi Shan to grow grain, it would be understandable that he would charge such a high interest rate and make false accounts.
A confidant handed over a piece of information: "I found it."
Cui Zhi opened it and looked at it, and fell silent.
Haha, merchants are not from other places, but from Qi State.
What troubled Cui Zhi the most was that he knew this merchant and was attached to a second-rate family in the southwest, and he paid "protection money" to this family every now and then. Cui Zhi murmured: "It's okay to be stupid, but how can you be so stupid? Don't let the wealth go to outsiders!"
The high interest rate is five cents and two cents!
Borrowing from outsiders is worse than borrowing from Cui's people.
At least Mr. Cui will be more polite when collecting debts and will not violently collect debts from his Erlang Jun. It is hard for others to tell.
Cui Zhi took another sip of herbal tea to calm down his shock.
He said: "Order someone to investigate this merchant thoroughly."
The confidant asked in confusion: "Continue to investigate this person?"
Cui Zhi's eyes flashed: "Well, let's see if this merchant has anything to do with the Northwestern Kang State. I won't comment on Shen Zhongli's abilities, but she is Qi Yuanliang's person after all. I can still comment on Qi Yuanliang. Two sentences. I don’t believe that Qi Yuanliang would raise such a stupid waste. Huh!”
Isn’t this a fake account?
The confidant ordered to retreat.
The interest rate of five cents and two cents is indeed outrageous.
The meat bun that Mr. Cui beat out also felt that Shen Tang was looking for death. He stopped talking several times. When he couldn't sit still, he approached his Erlangjun: "Erlangjun, you can't borrow this grain!" 】
Young people don't know how to settle accounts at all. Compared to Rou Baozi's anxiety, Cui Mi was calm.
【We still have to earn five cents and two cents in interest. 】
Rou Baozi was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Ku Koupo wanted to settle the account for Cui Mi and tell him what five points and two cents meant. The government's interest rate of one cent and seven cents is barely enough to make ends meet! Five cents and two cents is equivalent to borrowing one hundred cents at the beginning of the year and paying back one hundred sixty-three cents at the end of the year! When these profiteers lend out grain seeds, they calculate the yield per acre of land, and it is impossible for anyone to make money.
Cui Mi said calmly: [I have learned planning. 】
His grades are definitely better than the other person's, so there's no need to count them for him.
Roubaozi is a little weak: [I may say something offensive, Erlangjun may be proficient in planning, but you still can't do it if you don't understand farming! This amount of grain must not be borrowed. If you borrow it, it will be over! 】
Cui Mi smiled and said: [Do you know how much this grain yield per mu is? 】
Rou Baozi was startled for a moment and took a deep breath: [Even if you are an old farmer who is good at farming, you can at least increase the yield per mu by 20 to 30%. Are those profiteers deceiving you and the county magistrate to double the yield per mu? 】
【Not really. 】
Rou Baozi was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Cui Mi corrected him, "It's not double, it's at least five times the county's yield per mu." The interest rate of five cents and two cents is calculated based on ordinary grain seeds, but this kind of grain seeds are really five times more effective. God will not lose money even if he doesn't give him face. Just keep your mind at ease and do whatever you need to do. 】
The meat buns were almost lifted in one breath.
Five times the yield per mu...
The damned son of an aristocratic family and the black foreman Shen Zhongli! Do these two *** know what five times the yield per mu means?
The profiteer just started talking, but these two idiots actually believed it?
Rou Baozi endured the twitching of the corner of his mouth and said with a strange tone: [I also heard that there is a grain seed that can produce ten times the yield per acre, and the interest rate is not that high. Why don't you discuss it with Shen County Cheng, which one should you go to instead? 】
Coax these two idiots to borrow money from Cui.
You can also get a kickback from it.
Cui Mi rolled his eyes at this.
He really saw a good harvest that doubled the yield per mu at least five times.
Two or three months have passed since the last martial arts competition to recruit a bride, and the last remaining martial arts warriors have exceeded 70%, and the remaining 30% have said that they will come back after settling down with their families. Shen Tang suddenly jumped from a mere commander to a small force with a private tribe of more than 200 people. It's not that she brainwashed these people and made them suffer from Stockholm, she moved them with her true feelings.
Well, how can diluted spiritual wine not be considered true love?
Whenever someone is "released upon expiration of their term," Shen Tang will order someone to prepare a small table to thank the person for their hard work this month. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Those warriors also wanted to see what medicine she was selling in her gourd, so they patiently sat down and listened to her fart.
Have a meal?
Delicious!
Have a drink?
After a long drought in Danfu, the rain comes, so refreshing!
One glass of wine will sweep away the fatigue accumulated over the month.
The taste is so mysterious that their poor language cannot describe it one percent! Seventy percent of the resentment towards Shen Tang was instantly dissipated! The remaining 30% was spent singing, chanting, and beating in Shen Tang, and all the nonsense was sorted out, and some even came to an understanding.
It is not easy to start a business alone.
The government office was so poor that she, the county magistrate, could not support herself alone.
There are not many young people in the area. What he can accomplish with one finger and eyes closed may take five or six old men three to five days. She wanted money but had no money, and wanted people but no one, so she had no choice but to resort to this strategy. Everything is aimed at feeding the domestic population.
Shen Tang: [I offended a hero before, so I punished myself with a drink. 】
Drinking it all in one gulp made the warriors feel distressed.
Hurrying down Shen Tang’s hand, he said: [What did Shen Nujun say? If I had known your plan earlier, I would have agreed! 】
Obviously, this is nonsense.
The ultimate goal is to drink one more sip of spiritual wine.
Shen Tang didn’t compete with the other party and entertained him with delicious food and drinks.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Shen Tang asked the ten people what they thought of the work they had done recently, but everyone remained silent. To be honest, I just feel dissatisfied. They are brave warriors, and it is a shame and shame to use them as prisoners! They would rather keep Shen Tang on guard for a month than do these jobs.
For the sake of spiritual wine, obviously you can’t say that.
These tasks are a piece of cake for a brave warrior, but they are too boring. If Shen Nujun insists on doing this, I suggest that she can recruit more workers in the future and do more projects. For example, build a bridge today, build a road tomorrow, and then blast mountains and build dams and reservoirs the day after tomorrow.
It's a bit fresh to come here and there.
The remaining nine people looked at the friend who spoke in horror.
No, can you say such nonsense against your will?
Shen Tang obviously listened to his words and thought this proposal was very good. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!
She praises people without blinking an eye, but makes them embarrassed.
The ranger group is quite special.
It is a mixed bag of good and bad, with gangsters gathering together. It has a very bad reputation, and many people have life debts in their hands. If you are doing well in the local area, you will be a local tyrant. If you are not doing well, you will wander around. This is called a chivalrous person. No matter where you go, it is a major hidden danger that affects public security.
Even though Shen Tang’s words may sound like mere talk, but——
No one has told me this before.
Not to mention drinking this spiritual wine for myself.
Immediately someone asked Shen Tang about the origin of the wine.
Shen Tang did not miss the greed in their eyes: [You are talking about this wine? When I was traveling in the northwest, I saved a wine merchant. In return for saving his life, the wine merchant would give me a batch every year. I heard that they are in high demand in the northwest... But there was an appointment at that time. These spiritual wines cannot be resold to others, and the news cannot be spread, otherwise the other party's business will be difficult. 】
Everyone has different thoughts.
A few have already thought of killing people and selling goods.
How many times has Shen Tang dealt with similar situations?
How can we not know their plans?
Shen Tang acted with a hard face: [Actually, I have another unkind request. If you are willing, I am willing to hire you with a high salary! 】
Recruitment is to make short-term workers work long-term.
Anyway, I have become proficient at it after this month.
Recruiting new people also takes time to train, and it is not as good as ready-made ones.
Others have evil intentions and disdain the high-paying pie drawn by Shen Tang. They focus entirely on [a batch of spiritual wine]. Where did Shen hide the spirit wine? Anyway, it's within her territory.
If you stay for a while, you can always figure it out.
