Chapter 1219 is comparable to fleeing from famine
On this day, many people could not sleep well. Many people got up in the middle of the night, picked up their household registration and rushed to the county town.
The women at home grabbed their men and told them: "Don't borrow money so quickly, ask clearly how much the interest is? You really can't borrow more than one hundred pence a month, so you can't be deceived."
The man from that family replied: "Don't worry, daughter-in-law, we are going with the village chief, and the village chief has told others to borrow them first. If there are more people, we will come to our village later."
The past few days have been very chaotic. In addition to the big guys going to the Yamen to complain about taxes, there are also the evil people in the county such as Gao Sanxiong who want to spread rumors to disturb the people and buy farmers' property at low prices. Then there is the new bank. It's about borrowing money at low interest rates to pay taxes to farmers.
The matter of the new bank is what everyone is most concerned about. Farmers are much more honest and know that going to the yamen to make trouble will be fruitless, so they all put their hope in the new bank and are counting the days until the new bank opens.
Four days have passed and today is the fifth day, the day when the new bank opens.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
While he was talking, a gong sounded in the village. The boy from the village chief's family shouted: "Uncle Chang Fu, stop talking. My father asked everyone to gather at the entrance of the village and set off in a quarter of an hour. If you go late, Im afraid people from other counties will beat you to it!
"What? Are there people from other counties coming? Why should our county's bank lend money to them?" Chang Fu's wife became anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly asked the boy from the head of Changjia Village.
My dad said that people in other counties dont have money to pay taxes. They are all eyeing the new bank in our county. They will come to borrow money today. We have to go quickly!
As for why we need to lend money to people in other counties.
"The new bank was opened by Dou Shaodong's family from the capital. He does business in all directions. He not only deals with people from Tianfu County, but also opened a bank in Tianfu County because he came to buy ham."
"Hey, you have to hurry up." Chang Fu's daughter-in-law didn't dare to say anymore, pushing her man: "Hurry up and follow the village chief. You can do whatever the village chief does, but you have to borrow money. Ah, this is our familys life-saving money.
"Hey, hey, I'm leaving now. It's been too chaotic lately. There will be thieves coming into the village to steal things and sell them to pay taxes. Take care of your home and don't go out." Chang Fu hurriedly carried the dry food and water on his back and held his household registration tightly. , followed the boy from the village chief's family, beating gongs and calling people all the way to the entrance of the village.
When the people from Changjia Village left the village and went to the official road, my dear, they were all torches. Countless torches lit up the night as brightly as day.
Chang Fu used the light of the fire to look forward, but he could not see the end in front of him; when he looked back, he could not see the end.
Chang Fu was very scared and said: "There are so many people, we have to run away quickly. If we get there late, we may not be able to borrow money."
As soon as these words came out, many people who heard it started to run. When people from other villages saw it, they also started running wildly, and chaos suddenly broke out.
Bang, bang, bang!
A group of people rushed behind them, holding sticks in their hands and beating those who were running.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The gong sounded, and Hong Dao led the officers and soldiers of the Division of Soldiers to run back and forth on the official road, shouting loudly: "No one is allowed to run! If anyone dares to run and causes trampling on people to death, he will be killed." I want to borrow money!"
He shouted more than a dozen times in succession, and captured the village chief who was running ahead. After sending soldiers to cut off the road ahead, he stabilized the crowd that had become chaotic due to running.
"No one is allowed to run away! Anyone who dares to run away and cause trouble will not be able to borrow any money!" Hong Dao shouted, his voice almost breaking.
"Don't run, no one is allowed to run, listen to the military master!" The village chiefs and village chiefs of these villages also ran out to warn the villagers. Although the villagers stopped, they were still worried and took the opportunity to ask Hong Dao: "Master Jun, I heard that people from other counties will come to borrow money. We will run because we want to get to the county bank early to avoid the money being stolen from other counties." Someone borrowed it.
He complained again: "Why should we lend money to the banks opened in our county?"
With a bang, the soldier beside Hong Dao knocked the gong. After shocking the villagers, Hong Dao said: "The new bank is opened by Dou Shaodong's family and Ouyang's family. They can lend money to whomever they want. But everyone Don't worry, Dou Shaodong's family has already said that they will give priority to lending money to people in Tianfu County. But everyone must queue up honestly. If you dare to rob randomly, not only will you not be able to borrow the money and pay taxes, but you will also be arrested and imprisoned in the Yamen. Listen clearly. ?!"
"Really, Dou Shaodong's family will lend us the money first? That's great. If we don't run away, we will be honest and behave ourselves."
After getting the word, the villagers were relieved and lined up from village to village to rush to the county seat.
After three hours of hard work, we finally arrived at the county seat at dawn. As a result, the city gate was closed. Lao Yu, Jiang Xiaoqi and Team Leader Yang stopped us at the city gate and shouted: "Get in line, unpack, check." You can only enter the city after registering!"
Lao Yu is the oldest person in the Department of Bing, and he is the only commander-in-chief of the Department. There is still one vacant post. Qin Sanlang already has a candidate, and he will be replaced by another one soon. The position of general flag.
Hong Dao looked in the direction of the city gate and breathed a sigh of relief. Good guy, he originally thought that there were enough people on the official road, but he didn't expect that there were even more people at the city gate. They surrounded a large area. He couldn't see it at all. The city gate is nowhere to be seen.
What Qin Baihu said is indeed true. Today will be a day of great chaos. The folks who come to borrow money are like victims fleeing famine. They must not relax.
Queue up, put down the weapons that can hurt people, such as swords, guns and sticks, and prepare your household registration. After the soldiers pass the inspection, they will let everyone go into the city to borrow money! Hong Dao shouted, explaining to the villagers.
"Why is it so troublesome? When can I go to the bank to borrow money?" Some villagers complained, but lining up to enter the city is a must. If they are released into the city at once, the new bank will be occupied by these people. Squeeze it.
"Don't talk nonsense. Go first in line. Those who complain and complain will only wait half a day and a day longer than others." Hong Dao said.
After everyone heard this, they had no choice but to line up honestly.
"Xu Feng's family in Songzizhuang, father, son and grandson, went to the city to borrow money. Their household registration is correct. Just press your fingerprint here and put down the hatchet to enter. Just come and pick up the hatchet when you leave the city." Chen Shu, who is responsible for registration The official said to the three descendants of Xu Feng, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart, why does this farmer like to bring a hatchet when he goes out? Do you want to defend yourself or do you want to chop a load of firewood home?
"Hey, thank you, sir." Xu Fengzi took the household registration from his family, held it tightly, and took his son and grandson into the city.
The same goes for other villagers.
Village Chief He also took his son, grandson, and He Tianwa's family, who could not afford the taxes, to the county town to borrow money.
However, they did not get up in the middle of the night, but got up as usual. After taking a post given to them by Gu Jinan, they left the village and met the people of Lianghe Village who were already waiting at the entrance of the village.
