Chapter 1200 Believe it or not
"The county is going to open a bank to lend money to farmers to pay taxes? Brother An, are you serious?" Mr. Lin was extremely excited: "If there is a bank willing to lend us money, we farmers can survive. "
His family went to the bank to borrow money, but the eldest and third son couldn't even enter the bank. They only asked if they could borrow money to pay taxes and were beaten up.
Banks generally do not lend money to farmers for fear that the farmers will lose money if they fail to repay the money. Therefore, if most farmers are in trouble, they can only ask relatives to borrow money, or go to gambling houses to borrow money.
However, the interest charged by gambling houses is too high, and farmers simply cannot afford it. In the end, they have to sell their fields, houses, or use their daughters to pay off the debt.
"Captain Gu, is the bank really willing to lend us money? How much is the interest? It won't be as high as in a gambling house, right?" Boss Lin asked Gu Jinan anxiously, his body still hurting from the beating he received from the bank's nursing home. With.
Gu Jinan said: "No, the interest rate of the new bank is very low, and as long as the interest rate exceeds 20% of the principal, the debt can be eliminated."
What does this mean? Mr. Lin is old and didnt understand.
Lin Laosan exclaimed and said: "Dad, Mr. Gu is saying that the new bank is good. We only need to pay interest. As long as the interest paid exceeds 20% of the principal, we don't have to pay back the money." Now, you can eliminate the debt without even paying back the principal. What a good thing, its really a great thing!
Lin Laosan was extremely excited, and Zhou Dalang was also extremely happy, saying: "Great, if this is true, all of us can survive."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhou was not happy and questioned Gu Jinan: "Brother An, what you said is a lie. The old man has lived for decades and has never seen such a bank. He doesn't even have to pay back the principal, just interest." Can you cancel your debts after paying enough money? Heh, are you fooling us?"
Zhou Laoer followed up and said: "Yes, you must not want to lend us money, so you made up such lies to deceive us."
Then he said: "Brother An, we are fellow villagers who escaped from famine together. Your family has become rich in the past few years, and our family has never come to your house to fight in the autumn wind. Now we really can't live anymore, so we came to ask your family for a loan." , just forget it if you dont want to borrow, why bother to lie to us? Did you know that Brother Lin and the others went to the bank to borrow money as soon as they learned that the emperor wanted to collect taxes? But the bank refused to lend and beat them up. Do you want Do you want us to be beaten too?!"
After hearing this, Gu Jinan sneered: Second uncle of the Zhou family, I didnt lie to you, believe it or not. "
"You, Gu Jin'an, what's your attitude? I'm your elder!" Zhou Laoer was very angry. When he was in Niugou Town, because of his relationship with Gu Jin'an's family to escape famine, the people in Niugou Town saw him. Everyone would call him the uncle of the head of the crime family, but he was extremely happy. Unexpectedly, he thought that in front of Gu Jinan, the elder's profile could not be displayed.
With a bang, the third grandfather slammed the table, looked at Old Zhou and said: "Old brother, the villagers said you were here to see me, so I asked people to let you in. If you are here to stage a show, please come back. "
Now it is not they who are asking for help, but the Zhou family and the Lin family who are asking for help. If Mr. Zhou continues to let his son act like crazy, he will not be polite.
Gu Dashan had endured it for a long time. Hearing this, he said: "Mr. Zhou, my brother An is a registered scholar and is already a nobleman. Brother Tuesday, it is better to be more cautious in what he says, so as not to be accused of disrespecting the scholar. , this will be arrested by the government."
Zhou Laoer was shocked when he heard Gu Dashan's words. In his impression, Gu Dashan had always been a loser, but now this loser has become hardened.
Mr. Zhou's expression was very ugly, but he knew that Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan were not joking. If they were made anxious, the government might really come to arrest them.
"Second Brother, you have no dignity. Brother An is a scholar. It's your turn to make irresponsible remarks. Apologize to Brother An quickly!" Zhou Laoer was also afraid of being arrested by the government, so he hurriedly He cupped his hands and said to Gu Jinan: "Brother An, don't be angry. It's my uncle who was quick to speak and said something he shouldn't have said."
Gu Jinan said: "I have made it clear that I cannot lend you money, but you still have a way to survive. Wait for five days. After five days, a new bank will be opened in the county, and you can borrow money by then. "
Zhou Dalang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked: "Did Mr. Gu say that a new bank will be opened in the county? Didn't the person who lent us the money hit Uncle Lin's bank?"
Gu Jinan nodded: "Yes."
Zhou Dalang was very happy and said to Mr. Zhou: "Grandpa, second uncle, did you hear this? We are saved. We can borrow money in five more days!"
Zhou Lao'er felt very unhappy when he saw his eldest nephew's happy appearance. This idiot, what's there to be happy about? Borrowing money from a bank requires interest. Borrowing from the Gu family, let alone interest, as long as they drag a For ten or eight years, I guess I wont even have to pay back the principal.
Zhou Dalang felt a little sad when he saw that Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhou were not talking... After they fled, he found that his grandfather and his second uncle had become different. They wanted to get something for nothing. They even gave in to bullies in order to make life easier in the village. He bullied the eldest sister and made her follow Li Kuihu without any reputation or status.
Gu Jinan glanced at Zhou Dalang and felt that this man was quite pitiful, but if Zhou Dalang didn't want to change and continued to live with Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhou, there would be nothing worth helping.
"Mr. Lin, please remember my words and go back and wait. Once the new bank opens, I will immediately send someone to notify you. Then I will take you to the new bank and you can borrow it immediately without queuing up. Silver." Gu Jinan said.
Mr. Lin almost shed tears when he heard Gu Jinan's words. The scholar-gong said so, so the thing about the new bank must be true.
"Okay, okay, then the old man will go back and wait... Brother An, thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to last three days." Lin Lao said with a choked voice. When he learned that the emperor was going to charge high taxes, He fainted directly.
He was too desperate and felt that he had suffered enough in his life. If he couldn't borrow money to pay taxes, he didn't want to live anymore.
After all, if one person dies, the family will pay less in taxes.
"Brother Lin, what do you mean by this? Are you leaving now?" Mr. Zhou said anxiously: "Our Xializi Village in Niugou Town is far away from here. We walked all night to get there. Now I am so tired. How can I say it?" You have to rest for a night before leaving."
The Gu family is so rich and their house is so big that they even have egg pancakes for breakfast. Why shouldnt they be entertained with a big meal and fish for dinner?
Mr. Zhou didnt want to leave. He wanted to stay and have a good meal. He also asked his grandfather and grandmother to see if he could borrow some money from them.
On Tuesday, Lang and Lang Lang didn't want to leave. But they remembered that the Gu family had two daughters. They were still in a bachelor. If they could live in the Gu family, they could meet the daughter of the Gu family.
