Chapter 29

The money raised by each company is of course not the former Wuzhu coins that have been banned from using, but the latest legal currency of this dynasty, "Huai Bu".

This cloth imitates the cloth coins of the Zhou Dynasty. It is not the common brother Kong Fang who is seen on TV. It has edges and corners, and looks like a shovel head. It is two inches and five minutes long and one inch wide. Its text is suspended with needle seals, and the right is called "goods" and "bu" on the left is called "bu", which looks quite exquisite. It weighs twenty-five zhu, which is equivalent to twenty-five small-scale stocks.

The fifth reunion asked someone to collect all the money given to each family, and put in the "living expenses" given to him by the fifth domineering and 20,000 yuan.

A total of 80,000 yuan is 3,200 pieces, which is enough.

Wu Lun grabbed a few stocks, touched the hanging needle seal on it, and sighed: "My brothers, Kun, donated me with money because the city of Chang'an is different from the counties and counties. Everything must be traded with money and silk, otherwise it would violate the law and go to Zhongguan to serve. You are afraid that I will be alone and have no money and silk, so I raise my hands to touch the ban, which will make my colleagues from other counties laugh at me."

"But I also know that this money is hard to come by."

The fifth ethics says: "The court calculates the person in August every year and checks the household registration. For those over fifteen, each person has to pay 120 yuan, which is the calculation tax; while those aged seven to fourteen, each person pays 23 yuan. Total, a household of five to eight must make up hundreds or thousands of yuan a year, and it is not allowed to pay the food instead. It can only take out the food and fodder to the market to trade."

Because the fourth is the old, the fifth reunion did not criticize the profiteering merchants for suppressing the price of grain and making huge profits. They only said: "In recent years, taxes have been impermanent. Many people have to serve the government because they cannot collect all their taxes. They are either sent to Xihai County to fight against the Qiang, or take grain trucks to the northern Huns. They leave their hometowns, invade cold and heat, and often things are on the road."

There are such people in every place. Not only the heads of the family members who come to send their fifth relationship, but also some ordinary people who watch the fun. This speech made them feel sad.

Speaking of this, Di Wulun threw the money in his hand back into the car, and Dingdang said: "So the clans in Linqu Township are even less money than me! At worst, I can save some food and wear older clothes. But you are short of money, but you have to pay the price of your life!"

Bao Xuan of the previous dynasty said that seven deaths were killed and seven deaths. Two of them were the county officials who collected taxes and taxes many times a year; the third was the corrupt officials who extorted bribes; the fifth was the time when harsh officials frequently collected corvee labor, causing the people to lose their agriculture and sericulture.

The situation in the Xin Dynasty did not improve. Under the threat of the three deaths, ordinary families did not have enough money every year, let alone Wang Mang often went to monetary reforms, which caused the families who were storing money to prepare for disasters to suffer heavy damage. One mistake made people more wise, so everyone could only raise money temporarily. If it wasn't enough, they could only borrow usury from big investors.

I inquired about the fifth reunion. The Haoyou, who likes to be a credit loan in my hometown, is the first family! The interest rate is not high, only 20 to 30%, but the fifth reunion even needs to pay for this profit for his family!

After the fifth replies, he asked someone to divide 80,000 yuan into two, 40,000 yuan in his car, and the other 40,000 yuan was taken to the heads of the clans of each family.

He walked up and bowed to them, saying, "Since this money is funded by Kun's brothers, it is better to get together and call it "righteous money". Let me leave it to my eldest father for the time being!"

"Like charity warehouses, charity money is specially lent to those who cannot collect all the money due to the annual disaster and cannot be collected. But unlike charity warehouses, it is not limited to the fifth miles. From the third to the eighth families, the clan leader can write a coupon as a deposit and come to my house to borrow money. After the most difficult time, you can pay it back, and there is no interest! No interest! No interest!"

He emphasized it loudly three times. As soon as the clan leader made his statement, the ordinary people and tenants watching were stunned at first, and then they cheered loudly.

"The fifth son, Gao Yi!"

The sound was too high and fast, and the heads of the clans of each family looked at each other, and they were unexpectedly unexpected.

Because the money from the fifth mile was also mixed up, it was not entirely considered "generous of others", but they occasionally lend money to make profits. But if you think about it carefully, since the order of the private family of the king's land was issued, it was indeed difficult for the young tyrants to force the debtors to sell their land through credit loans and become slaves, which did not cause much damage to the interests of each family.

What's more, the Fifth Reunion does this and takes over the righteousness of the clan's help. Whoever opposes it will be despised by the clans.

So the heads of each family could only force themselves to smile and happily agreed, saying that there was a fifth hegemony. They all believed that this "righteous money" could be fair and just and benefit the village.

However, Di Zou Zhi was even more shocked by Di Zou Ren. He only pulled Di Zou Jiao before leaving and told him: "You and Bo Yu go to Chang'an with him. He is a man-in-law. You go to the Imperial Academy. Although you have some miles apart, you should still walk more and don't indifference to your friendship!"

The eighth kid is inexplicably aware of it, thinking it is not taken for granted? After all, he has been quite admiring the fifth reunion recently. Even if he is a few years older than him, he is willing to follow his horse's tail.

After his son and Di Wulun left one after another, Di Bazhi put down his hand, patted Di Si Xian behind his back, and whispered: "I said before that when the children are in charge of affairs, Di Bazhi will take the sniffle."

"But now it seems that why wait a hundred years later! From today on, not only the eighth clan and Linqu Township, all the fifth clans will be in the north!"

...

A mere 40,000 yuan can make the Fifth Family a well-deserved leader in the whole town and a heavy blow to the First Family. This transaction is undoubtedly a huge profit.

The annual tuition and tax collection is in August, and this year has been collected. During this period, it will be nearly a year. There is no need to worry about being borrowed for a short time. You can even take it out first to do some business. The fifth relationship has time to circulate.

It is a coincidence that in the morning, dozens of evil young men who wanted to go to the Fifth Family as guests for free but were rejected, had just been indignantly proclaimed in the inner community: "The Fifth Family is a fake chivalrous, and it is a strong bow? Now, for a few pounds of food, we refuse to join the knights."

As a result, he was slapped in the face in the afternoon. Hundreds of happy civilians ran home and promoted the matter of charity money everywhere, shouting: "The fifth uncle Yu Gaoyi."

One spread to ten thousand and a hundred, and the voice of most working proletariats ultimately surpassed a few rogue proletariats.

Therefore, in addition to filial piety and brotherhood, the "benevolence and righteousness" of the fifth relationship finally became a consensus among everyone.

When the Fifth Lun Light Car left his hometown and headed south to Chang'an, a catchy nickname was also spread in Changling County and even Liewei County.

"The Fifth Roone of Xiaoyi!"

...

"Boyu is finally here."

Ten miles southwest of Linqu Township, Jing Dan saw the carriages and horses of the Wulun family in Lanchi Palace. When they went to officially thank Zhang Zhan a few days ago, they made an appointment to go south together.

"I have asked Brother Sun Qing to wait for a long time. The relatives of the villagers sent him off, which has been delayed for too long."

The fifth reun quickly accused him of the crime and asked the eighth reunion to visit Jing Dan. Then he realized that Wang Long, the "Wen Chiu" of the Wang Yuan family of the King of Qiongcheng, was also there. His carriages and horses were more than those of him and Jing Dan combined.

But Wang Long was still in the daze, sitting upright in the car, looking at the stones in the Wei River, probably thinking about new lyrics. After calling the fifth reunion twice, he realized it.

After meeting Wang Long a few times, Jing Dan already knew his nature and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter to Wenshan in front of us, but when he entered Beijing, he met hundreds of people who were with us, and even Shangguan Gongfu, you would easily offend people in this way."

Wang Long felt a little embarrassed. He didn't want to write a text and pointed to the abandoned garden palace in front of him and said, "It's just that I feel moved when I see the scenery. This Lanchi Palace was the one who led the Wei River into a pool during the reign of Qin Shihuang. It was 200 miles from east to west and twenty miles from north to south. It built soil into Penglai and carved stone into whales. It was two hundred feet long. How magnificent it was back then. Now after war and floods, the stone whale is broken, leaving only a tail exposed on the water surface. I can't see the whole picture, so I can't help but sigh."

After hearing this, the eighth Jiao frowned slightly. He also studied, but did not have the little feelings of a literati. He only shook his head and said, "What's the use of magnificence? Qin Shihuang started labor, transported stones and sweet springs, and dug water into a pond garden. He only wanted to satisfy his own desires. There was also a folk song that the Wei River did not wash its mouth! The Han family diverted water to Chengguo canals, irrigated thousands of hectares of land, benefiting future generations for a hundred years, and the highest judgment was made."

One is a literati and the other is a memorable scholar. The same scenery is reflected in the eyes, but what you see is different. However, these words praising the former Han Dynasty are facts, but they should not be said randomly. The fifth reunion glared at the eighth reunion, so that he could find his place and not cause trouble for his words in the Imperial Academy.

Wang Long was not interested in fighting or refuting, but just nodded silently, and then said, "Don't Xiao Yan go with us?"

Wang Wenshan was crazy again. Didn’t he ask me knowingly? Xiao Yan, as a marquis, has always been proud, and he still resented the fifth reunion of Jushan, and would not be with them. He had long been riding a car and heading to Chang'an - but he forgot to mention that Wang Mang changed Chang'an from the previous dynasty to Chang'an. This time it was not an antonym but a homophone, otherwise the name of the capital would become "short and messy".

The four of them walked together and left Lanchi Palace to set off. After crossing the Fifth Reun, he never came here again. He only felt that the scenery around him was both familiar and unfamiliar.

By the time the sun sets west, the Wei River has arrived.

The wide Wei River divides the Guanzhong Plain into two, with canals crisscrossing the plains of Zhuling in Weibei, and trees withered and yellow in the vast fertile fields. In Weinan, there are high walls and huge palaces in Chang'an City thirty miles away, with a hundred and six smokes connected by the inner walls, and there are upper gardens and ban gardens next to them, and the forests and shuis are still a little green.

What connects the two sides is a long bridge like a rainbow, which is the cross-bridge, one of the three bridges in the Wei River, also known as Zhongwei Bridge. The stone beam and wooden board bridge is 6 meters wide and 380 steps long from north to south. It is the only way for Liewei County to go to Chang'an.

It was the Xishi City in Chang'an City. It was the most crowded time of the day in Hengqiao, but a group of soldiers with their heads, ring knives and armored soldiers blocking the pedestrians, cars and horses crossing the bridge, causing long lines to line up on both sides of Hengqiao, and they could only follow from afar.

Judging from this scene, I am afraid that a big shot will pass by.

Jing Dan came to Chang'an for official business and had a wider range of knowledge. He said to everyone: "At least, it is the fourth auxiliary, the third highway, or the prince and grandson, otherwise he would not have cleared the road and blocked the bridge."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge team of chariots and horses came from the other side.
