Chapter 978: Burn it!

"Xiaoxuan, don't do that!"

After hearing what Li Zexuan and Hu Hanyun said, Han Lizheng hurriedly said,

"Xiaoxuan, you may not know the situation of the other villagers. Take

Liujiazhuang as an example. They have just merged with you in the land, and

they harvested earlier in the autumn. At the time, they still paid the rent

according to the requirements of the previous landlord’s family, and this

year’s harvest was generally not good, which made the situation worse.

Their place is not rich, and it’s good to have enough food. If you ask them to

get so many tarpaulins, even if they sell all the food at home, it’s not

enough! Xiaoxuan, since you have thought of this method to help the dealers

increase their income, then you definitely want all the dealers to receive

this favor, right? So this question, father-in-law still hopes you can

consider it carefully! "

After listening, Li Zexuan was silent for a while, secretly saying that he

still took it for granted.

The price of cloth in the early Tang Dynasty was very cheap, and the price of

a pin of fine silk was no more than the price of rice, that is, you can buy a

pin of silk for three or four cents. As for the coarse oilcloth used to build

a greenhouse, it is even cheaper. The cost of a greenhouse is actually two to

three hundred yuan.

Li Zexuan has a ready-to-wear shop at home. He naturally knows the current

cloth prices in Chang'an City. It is precisely because he knows that he

subconsciously thinks that the people should be able to afford the cost of a

greenhouse, two or three hundred yuan. It's equivalent to a few thousand

dollars in modern times. It should be possible to squeeze a house.

But he overlooked a problem. In this era, the degree of exploitation of

peasants by landlords is far unmatched by modern times. In this era, people

who can't eat enough to eat and can't afford to wear clothes can be seen

everywhere! Is two or three hundred yuan really a small sum? For some people,

these two or three hundred yuan may be enough for their family to eat for a

year! !

"What my father-in-law said is that my son-in-law is indeed a little ill-

conceived!"

Li Zexuan thought for a moment, took the initiative to admit his mistake, and

continued: "Why not, my son-in-law puts out a thousand bucks and puts it with

his father-in-law. If the dealers are willing to build a greenhouse and have

difficulties at home, they can come over and ask your father-in-law for

borrowing. A sum of money, each household can borrow up to 500 wen, and they

don’t need to pay any profit, as long as they can pay off the principal within

a year! What do you think of this, father-in-law~?"

Regarding capital borrowing, it is not unique to modern times, and it is

nothing new in ancient times. One of the four sons of the Warring States

Period, Meng Changjun was able to support 3,000 customers and recruit talents

from all walks of life through the sale of loans to collect interest.

According to historical records, Xue Di failed in one year and many people did

not pay interest. Monarch Mengchang sent people to collect, but still "earned

an interest of 100,000", which shows that the scale of money lending is very

large.

In contrast, Li Zexuan is not even considered lending at all. He is purely

doing good deeds. After all, he does not charge interest!

Han Li smiled and said, "That's great! In this way, Xiaoxuan, you are truly

seeking the welfare of the people~!"

"Hey! Master, you are really kind. The bank in Chang'an City lends money to

people, and you still need 10% of the profit every month~!"

Old Hu grinned.

To be honest, he was a little moved by the preferential terms.

Regarding private lending, it was the first peak of usury in Chinese history

during the Qin and Han dynasties. After the Tang Dynasty, private lending

developed more rapidly, and there were many pawnshops in the West Market.

Therefore, it became the earliest financial street in China. .

Of course, in order to curb usury, the imperial government also imposed many

restrictions on private lending. It is clearly documented that the legal

interest rate at this time was 10% per month and the annual interest rate was

120%, compared with the compound interest rate usury in the Qin and Han

Dynasties. This interest rate is relatively friendly, but for the common

people, this interest rate is still relatively high, so Lao Hu couldn't help

being moved when he heard that Li Zexuan wanted to lend money to dealers

without interest.

After all, if you borrow money from a bank, you can borrow 500 liters, and you

will have to repay 600 liters after a year. If you count it this way, you

really make money if you borrow it!

Li Zexuan smiled and turned to the topic: "Uncle Hu, father-in-law, take a

closer look at this greenhouse. If you don't understand anything, you can ask

me. In the past few days, we will promote this greenhouse to all farmers. ,

Then I will work hard for you~!"

Han Li was nodding and said: "Okay! I and Lao Hu take a good look~!"

He and Hu Hanyun, although they had a period of unruly years when they were

young, but later they were honestly farming at home, and they can be regarded

as out-and-out farmers, imitating others to grow vegetables. Isn't this a

piece of cake?

..................

On the second day, Lao Hu left early in the morning. Today, he did not follow

the young and majestic mountains in the village as a guard. He has more

important things, that is, buying a step.

If you don’t have ready-made tarpaulins, buy coarse cloth, then buy some tung

oil, go home and do it yourself.

When I went there was an empty bullock cart, but when I came back, it was

filled with a cart of coarse cloth with two barrels of tung oil hanging on the

edge.

"Yeah~! Isn't this old Hu? Why are you buying so much cloth? Make clothes for

your son? It's not right, why don't you buy silk cloth for

clothes~www.mtlnovel.com~ but buy so much coarse cloth?"

On the road, he always inevitably met some acquaintances. Lao Hu usually

laughed and sloppy eyes said: "Haha! Recently, there is a shortage of firewood

at home, so buy some coarse cloth and burn it back~!"

Not a member of Zhuangzi, Lao Hu is determined not to tell the secret of

growing off-season vegetables in the greenhouse. ,

It's just that his response is too terrifying.

"Buy coarse cloth and burn it as firewood~?"

Those who heard Lao Hu’s response all doubted whether Lao Hu’s head was burnt

out. Although the situation of Lao Hu’s family has improved a lot this year,

it shouldn’t be extravagant to use coarse cloth for firewood, right?

"Fuck child! I'm back! Come out and help get things~!"

The road from Chang'an Official Road to Hanjiazhuang is now flat and wide.

After a while, Lao Hu returned home. As soon as he entered the yard, Hu Hanyun

shouted.

"Hey, the boss came back so soon?"

Liu Yuee heard the noise and ran out of the house. When she saw the mountain

of coarse cloth on the bullock cart, she was shocked: "This...this, the owner,

how much cloth did you buy~? "

Hu Hanyun wiped his sweat and grinned: "Hey! It's also the cloth of

Sanguanqian. The shopkeeper said, if I buy more, I will give more, so I will

buy more. Loss~!"

"Not at a loss? What did you say when you left? You only bought a couple of

dollars. Now you have bought such a big car, what do you use the extra for?"

Liu Yuee heard the words.

"What are you doing? Burning! Ahhh, it's growing vegetables!"

Lao Hu answered too much this question along the way, and he almost said those

two words directly.
