Zhao Yunze heard Ding Dashun's report that Fan Tingju and Luo Yun were about to arrive in Shicheng County, and the anxious mood that had been in the past few days was swept away.Ding Dashun got Zhao Yunze's order and was about to leave immediately.But as soon as he walked to the door, he turned around and said to Zhao Yunze: "My lord, I forgot one thing.The messenger said that Cui Duncheng, the third son of the Boling Cui clan's long house, came with his wife and Fan Tingju and Luo Yunhe. ”When Zhao Yunze heard this, he immediately glanced at Fang Yizhi in surprise."
Why did the third son of the Cui family's long house go with Fan Tingju and them" Ding Dashun said: "I heard that his wife was sick, and he came to Shicheng County to see Sun Daochang."
On the way, I met Fan Tingju and them, so they came together. ”"Oh, the news of Daochang Sun in Shicheng County is spreading quickly."
Zhao Yunze nodded knowingly.After Ding Dashun left, Zhao Yunze stood up and stretched, and said, "Double happiness is coming" Fang Yi asked directly: "Brother Zhao, you won't even hit the idea of that third prince of Cui" "Haha, this third prince of Cui has seen him when he was on patrol with Lord Wei Zheng in the first year of Zhenguan.This person is very interesting, he doesn't like to read, but he loves to be elegant; He has no ambition to be an official, and is only happy to do business.It is said that Cui's glass factory is managed by him.Since he came to Shicheng County, he had to let him bleed and contribute to the construction of Shicheng County. ”"Then do you want to go out of the city to greet Cui Sangongzi in the afternoon?"
asked Fang Yizhi."
Of course I have to go out of the city to greet him, this is the God of Wealth, how can I wait slowly" Zhao Yunze said with a smile on his face, "Not only do you have to go out of the city to greet you, but the people from the county government, plus those squires, have to go out of the city to greet you."
Brother Fang, please send someone to inform those squires who live in the county seat and suburbs, and let them go to the county government in the afternoon. ”"Then so-and-so will arrange it."
Fang Zhizhi immediately got up and was about to go out."
Wait," Zhao Yunze called out to him again."
I also have to trouble Brother Fang to write a notice and write the content of the Qingmiao Law in its original form.Then tell the people that ten days later, the county government will open a warehouse to lend grain.Let others help me copy more, and order people to post all over Shicheng County. ”"Brother Zhao, the food hasn't landed yet, and now you will post a notice, is it too hasty?"
Fang Zhizhi wondered."
If you don't post the notice, how can you make those squires anxious As soon as the government lends money, their grain will not be released.When the time comes, you can only ask for a certain head, hahahaha" Zhao Yunze laughed.Fang Yi pondered for a while, and also smiled: "In this way, the guest of honor will change hands." ”Zhao Yunze told Fang Zhizhi again: "When writing notices, use the vernacular, the more straightforward the better."
Don't be like the notice written by Deng Ye last time, people who don't read much still can't understand it.Then let the person who posted the notice preach to the people by the way. ”"I understand," Fang Zhi responded directly."
Then it's hard brother.I went back to the backyard to squint and sleep, these days, I am so worried that I can't eat and sleep.At this point, the clouds finally cleared. ”After Zhao Yunze finished speaking, he walked out.Two quarters of an hour after the dividing line, Cui Jing was the first to receive a notice from the county government."
This Zhao County Ling Mo is not in a hurry, and he wants to convene us to discuss the matter," Cui Jing guessed to himself."
Hmph, this young man's brain is not bright.If you break each one, there is still a slight chance of success.Wouldn't it be even more difficult to gather everyone together, even if you are a person who has the heart to lend you food, in front of so many people, how dare you agree to you If you offend everyone, you won't be mixed up in the future" After another half an hour, a slave in the family reported to Cui Jingyu: "Master, the county government has posted a notice again." ”"What did the notice say" Cui Jing asked casually as he drank his tea.The servant said: "It is said that the county is going to implement the green seedling law, and farmers who lack grain seeds can borrow grain seeds from the government through five joint guarantees."
After the autumn, the crops were harvested and repaid at the annual interest rate of 10%.He also said that he would start to put grain in ten days. ”"Ah" Cui Jing was stunned."
This Zhao Yunze, can I get food, I have to go and see the notice in person."
A few minutes later, Cui Jing was standing under a notice on the street of his house.This place is already full of people.Cui Jing struggled a lot to squeeze into the crowd.At the bottom of the notice, a servant was explaining the contents of the notice to the onlookers.Cui Jing was not in the mood to listen to what the official said, so he looked at the notice directly.I saw that the notice read: Fathers and villagers of Shicheng County, you have all listened well.Spring ploughing is about to begin, but many people don't have enough grain at home.The newly appointed county magistrate, Lord Zhao Yunze, was very anxious after knowing this situation, so he thought of a way to solve the difficulties for everyone.This method is called the Seedlings Method.What exactly is the Green Seedling Law, that is, the government lends grain to the people, and when the grain is harvested in the autumn, the people will repay their debts.You don't have to worry about interest, the government charges very low interest, just charge one cent of interest.In other words, if you borrow ten catties of grain now, you will have to return eleven catties to the government in the autumn.As for the interest overcharged by the government, if there is a bad harvest year in the future, it will still be used by the people.People who need grain can borrow grain from five households and one joint guarantee, and ten days later, that is, on the eighth day of the first month of March, they will go to the townships to borrow grain.When the time comes, the county government will send someone to transport the grain over.The people of the county can go directly to the county government to borrow it.The people who have borrowed grain must remember to repay it.Otherwise, the seedling law will not be implemented next year.Fang Yizhi really followed Zhao Yunze's instructions and wrote a notice in the vernacular.Cui Jing finished reading the notice, and the whole person was stunned.After being stunned for a long time, he came to his senses, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and rushed home.Not long after Cui Jing went home, Cui Yi and Zheng De came to the door.As soon as they met, Cui Yi didn't care about greetings, and asked Cui Jing directly: "Brother Tingshan, have you seen the new notice issued by the county government?"
”Cui Jing replied."
What the hell is the guy surnamed Zhao, did he raise food" Cui Jing shook his head and said, "A certain person has been sending people to keep an eye on the county government."
In the past two days, Zhao Yunze has not been out.Except for the captain Ding in the military camp outside the city, he went to the county government more than half an hour ago, and no outsiders entered the county office.There was no way he could raise food. ”"Then how dare he put up a notice," Zheng Dehu wondered.Cui Jing pondered for a while and said, "I guess Zhao Yunze was forced to be anxious and bluffed. ”"What does Brother Tingshan mean," Zheng De asked again."
He's trying to scare us.The purpose is to ask us to lend him food. ”Cui Jing said, "If we believe what the notice says, then we must be in a hurry."
If you are in a hurry, you have to press down the interest on the grain lent to the peasants, as the notice said, and the interest rate will be the same as that of the county government; Or, we have to lend grain to the county government, and we have to ask Zhao County to collect grain in turn. ”Cui Yi suddenly realized: "It must be so."
If we still want to do business with the surnamed Zhao, we can only lend him grain.He's a good idea," "So what do we do now," Zheng De asked.Cui Jing said: "Respond to all changes with the same."
You also inform the others and tell them about Zhao Yunze's conspiracy. ”"Well, we'll split up."
Cui Yi said
