MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 49

Liu Yuru noticed that Gu Jiusi was looking at her and couldn't help but raised her head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet?"

Gu Jiusi sighed: "Never. I thought, let the imperial court write them an IOU, and the imperial court will repay them in the future. But they won't believe it."

Liu Yuru thought for a while, then slowly said: "The reason why they don't believe it is because now Fan Xuan and Zhou Gaolang don't dare to say that they will definitely win, the money they borrowed, who loses Will you accept this account?"

"You're right." Gu Jiusi smiled bitterly, "That's really impossible."

"Borrowing money is better than stealing money." Liu Yuru sighed, "At least, if Fan Xuan and Zhou Gaolang win, they will pay them back."

Gu Jiusi nodded and didn't say much. Seeing that he was still in distress, Liu Yuru put down her abacus and thought seriously: "If the next imperial court is to accept this debt, then this debt must be It can't be just a debt, but a method. This method makes the country continuously rich, so the next court must repay the debt of the previous one, and then this model can continue. Treat a court as a debtor, borrow and repay , it's not difficult to borrow again."

Gu Jiusi raised her eyes and looked at Liu Yuru, Liu Yuru thought to herself: "As for businessmen, this money is not only to gain from the endorsement of the court, but also to have other ways to make money, they I thought it was double insurance. For example, if this debt can be bought and sold, then the merchant will have a way to make money. But if something can be bought and sold, it must have value in the minds of everyone. A sum of money that may not be worth it, "Liu Yuru smiled bitterly, "How can there be a value that most people believe in?"

"I've had this happen to me before."

Gu Jiusi spoke suddenly, Liu Yuru looked up at him, Gu Jiusi turned the pen in his hand, leaned on the edge of the pillar, sat down and said: "About three or four years ago, there was someone in the casino, he said There was a businessman who devoted money to printing money. He had a strong relationship with the government and had a good relationship with the Cao Gang at that time. If he gave him a hundred cents of money, he would have an income of five cents every month. They give a fee to relatives and friends, and every time you bring a person over to pay, that person will give you a penny for every 100 yuan that person earns. So everyone brings his relatives and friends over. At the beginning of the period, no one believed it, but they paid it monthly. , the people next to me did indeed get the money every month, so everyone put the money in. I remember that it was not even a year, almost everyone I knew put money in it, and everyone was waiting for the future Pay back."

"What happened later?" Liu Yuru hurriedly asked, Gu Jiusi smiled, "Then one day, this person suddenly disappeared."

Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, Gu Jiusi continued: "He didn't put any printed money at all, Yangzhou was rich at that time, where did so many people borrow money, the money he had in his hand had already exceeded Yangzhou's The borrower is about to borrow the amount."

"So, you mean that whether a thing can be sold or not depends on whether it has value in itself?"

"Yes." Gu Jiusi nodded, "In the first month, it will naturally depend on his own value. But whether it can be sold in the future depends on whether everyone thinks it can make money. The common people are willing to sell these debts all the time, that is, people keep coming in to sell them, even if the emperor is changed, the business will never be terminated."

Gu Jiusi said, a little excited: "I have to find a way to make this debt easier to trade, and then pay monthly interest, everyone looks at the money, this debt will naturally continue to be traded. ."

"Yes." Liu Yuru said hurriedly, "You can divide this debt into long-term debt and short-term debt, everyone can choose freely, long-term debt has high interest, short-term debt interest is low. Interest is paid monthly, never In arrears. And people can buy and sell freely, so, for example, if someone has a debt due in 3 years, he has one year left, but if he is in a hurry to use the money, he will sell the debt , and others will buy the debt at a suitable price after three years of coveting the sum of the principal and interest."

"Once there is a transaction, if someone buys quickly and sells quickly, they will earn the money that comes in and out quickly. In the end, the interest is not so important. Sell."

The two of them turned their heads faster and faster, and quickly began to formulate a plan.

Liu Yuru always has her own way of how to sell goods, while Gu Jiusi is more meticulous and familiar with the rules.

The two pondered for a whole night, and it was only in the middle of the night that they finished the work. Gu Jiusi went to write the book, but Liu Yuru couldn't hold back and fell asleep.

When Gu Jiusi finished writing the book, he looked at the sky and decided to sleep for half an hour. He carefully touched the bed, and Liu Yuru said in a daze: "I just fell asleep." "

Gu Jiusi smiled, he looked at the girl in front of him, and an inexplicable happiness came to him.

A person, if they live and die together, it will give a huge impact and moving.

Loving someone is in the moments and moments of everyday life.

Gu Jiusi bowed his head and kissed Liu Yuru, he raised his hand and took the person in his arms, hugged him tightly, then rubbed Liu Yuru's back and said happily, "Well, I fell asleep."

Gu Jiusi only slept for half an hour, then he got up, and after grooming, he saw that the sky was already bright, so he went to the Zhou Mansion earlier to meet.

"Brother Zhou so early?" Gu Jiusi raised his eyebrows, Zhou Ye smiled and said, "I should ask you about this. I heard you came, so I came to pick you up, yes Looking for my father? Come with me."

Zhou Ye said, leading Gu Jiusi to the courtyard. Gu Jiusi explained his intentions in the future, and Zhou Ye nodded again and again: "Your idea is very good, I have been thinking this way for a long time."

The two were talking, and when they got to the yard, Zhou Gaolang was punching. He had just finished a set of punches when Zhou Ye stepped forward and handed him the handkerchief. He wiped the sweat with the handkerchief, and Gu Jiusi Wait quietly again. Zhou Gaolang wiped the sweat off his body, glanced at him, and said with a smile, "Didn't I go to Zhao's house today, what are you doing here in the early morning?"

"Xiaguan has some ideas and wants to show his face to Lord Zhou."

"Thinking?" Zhou Gaolang smiled, then said, "Okay, let's talk in the study."

The three walked to the study, and the servant closed the door. Zhou Gaolang took the tea from Zhou Ye and said indifferently, "Let's talk."

"Xiaguan is here to discuss today's Zhao family for a while. After thinking about it last night, I always felt that it was not right, so I came here to ask adults today, Master Fan and your plans in the future are just a temporary plan , or the prosperity of Qianqiu?"

"What is a temporary plan, what is a future prosperity?"

Zhou Gaolang lowered his head and wiped his hands, his expression showing no joy or anger.

Gu Jiusi looked at Zhou Gaolang, and thoughtfully said: "Qin used the strategy of strengthening the country and weakening the people, using military force to unify the six countries, but the second generation perished. This is a temporary plan."

"What about the prosperity of the future?"

"Han recuperates and recuperates, Confucianism on the outside and Taoism on the inside, and the prosperity of the future."

Hearing this, Zhou Gaolang smiled: "Han is no better."

"Because he didn't insist."

"Okay," Zhou Gaolang waved his hand, "I see, you are here to be a lobbyist for the Zhao family."

"Xiaoguan dare not." Gu Jiusi immediately said, "Youzhou is short of money and food, and Xiaguan will not delay major events because of the benevolence of women. It's just that Xiaguan thinks that there is a better way. , I don't know if I can give it a try."

Gu Jiusi raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Gaolang: "I believe that your Excellency is not a shortsighted person. For Lord Fan, the name of benevolence and righteousness in the future is more than a thousand pieces of gold."

Zhou Gaolang didn't speak, he looked at Gu Jiusi and said coldly, "You really dare to say it."

Gu Jiusi immediately retreated and crawled on the ground: "Xiaguan just wants to share the worries of adults."

Zhou Gaolang looked at him, he seemed to be thinking, after a while, he slowly said, "Then what can you do?"

Zhou Gaolang said slowly: "Master Fan and I are not good people, but we are not evil. If there are other ways, we will not use the worst way."

"Sir," Gu Jiusi said slowly, "Last night, I thought hard, money, of course, adults want money, but if you rob it directly, it will definitely be a stain that adults can't wash away in the future, why not adults? Consider lending to the common people with interest?"

"We have thought about this." Zhou Gaolang immediately rejected, "But they won't believe it."

"Sir, listen to me. We have to decide how much to borrow. For example, if we decide to borrow 200 million silver taels, then we will divide the 200 million silver taels into two types. One is Long-term borrowing, such as three years, has a high interest rate; the other is short-term, such as March, which has a low interest rate. We divide the debt into 200 million shares equal to one tael of silver, and everyone can buy on demand.”

"We repay the interest once a month, and everyone can see the money every month. The people will definitely not believe it at first, but if everyone around them starts to make money, they will be moved, and naturally they will Enter the bureau to buy bonds. If everyone believes that this debt can make money, they will even exchange it privately. As long as the credit of this debt is established, not only the people of Youzhou can buy it, but everyone in the thirteen states will come to buy it. , then our money will come from all over the country, and even Beiliang can buy it."

Hearing this, Zhou Gaolang fell into deep thought.

I have to admit, he was moved. He thought about it and said slowly, "Then what will we pay back?"

"When you have no money, you can use debts to pay for debts, but this is the most impossible way, because everyone will evaluate the ability of the court. So our best plan is actually to develop national strength."

Zhou Gaolang looked up at Gu Jiusi, at this moment, Gu Jiusi has directly called "country".

After a long time, Zhou Gaolang picked up the tea, took a sip, and then said, "Continue."

"A strong and strong army will maintain the stability of a country, there will be no external enemies, and internal affairs will be moderate, so the people will feel stable and only willing to spend money if they have money. All industries will naturally prosper, and the people will have money, and the taxation of the imperial court will increase. Therefore, if we take the money from the people and make the country prosperous, we will naturally have money to pay back. Moreover, if the adults are still not at ease, we will pay There can be a special group of people to plan the whereabouts of this batch of money, and the official business is not a bad idea."

Zhou Gaolang listened, and after a long time, he slowly said: "I will discuss this matter with Mr. Fan. But you need to return the Zhao family's money today. His family has been arrogant and domineering for a long time. , If you don't clean up, it won't work."

"The officer understands."

Gu Jiusi hurriedly saluted, Zhou Gaolang nodded at the table: "Put the book on the table, you can do things first."

Gu Jiusi heard the words, put the book on the table, respectfully retreated first.

When he went out, Zhou Ye followed him and hurriedly said, "How did you come up with such a method, I've never heard of it."

Gu Jiusi smiled, Zhou Ye sighed and said, "I wanted to think of a way before, but I always felt that what they did was not done by teachers of benevolence and righteousness. But I can't think of any good way. , you have a good idea."

"But it may not be possible." Gu Jiusi sighed, "Actually, this method is too risky to implement, and there is no way to do it."

Zhou Ye nodded, he suddenly said: "I only heard now that those people in Huanglong bullied you?"

"Small thing." Gu Jiusi waved his hand, Zhou Ye said solemnly, "These people are all bully and fear the tough, you need to tell me anything."

"Such a villain will bother Brother Zhou to take action," Gu Jiusi laughed, "Then I'm too useless?"

Zhou Ye was at a loss for words, Gu Jiusi went out, saluted with Zhou Ye, got on the carriage, and went straight to the government office.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Huang Long leading all the yamen standing in the yard, everyone more or less with wounds on their faces, Gu Jiusi coughed a little unnaturally, he knew without thinking , must have been beaten by Liu Yuru yesterday.

He walked into the room, and Huang Long stepped forward and reported seriously: "Sir, brothers are all ready."

Gu Jiusi thanked Huanglong, ordered someone, and walked to Zhao's house.

This action was so big that people on the pass looked at him, Gu Jiusi swaggered all the way to Zhao's house, and knocked on the door of Zhao's house.

He didn't break in, but stood at the door and let people respectfully go in and report. When Jiading saw this situation, he knew that it was not good, and hurriedly entered the Zhao residence. At this time, Zhao Heshun, the head of the Zhao family, had not slept all night. He sat in the lobby, nodded tiredly and said, "Let him come in."

The housekeeper went out and brought Gu Jiusi in.

Gu Jiusi led the people along the way very easily. When walking in the courtyard, he seemed to be looking at the flowers in the courtyard, and he also exchanged with the housekeeper about the trimming of the flowers and plants in the courtyard, just like a handsome boy. It doesn't seem like it's a guilt at all.

Zhao Heshun watched Gu Jiusi come in, with his hands folded between his sleeves, he sat on his knees without speaking. After Gu Jiusi entered the door, he raised his hand, pointed to the guest next to him and said, "Master Gu, please."

Gu Jiusi saluted, knelt down and sat down, the maid next to her brought her some tea, Gu Jiusi picked it up, took a sip and said, "The gold and silver needles after the rain and before the spring are one or two thousand gold," said After that, Gu Jiusi raised his eyes to look at Zhao Heshun, and said with a smile, "Master Zhao served Gu with this kind of tea, and Gu is uneasy."

"It is the old man who is disturbed."

Zhao Heshun's voice was calm: "Let's open the skylight and say something bright, Mr. Gu, what are you doing when you go to Zhao's door today?"

"Leave a night for Mr. Zhao to think about it, Mr. Zhao hasn't figured it out yet?"

Gu Jiusi put down the teacup, tapped the folding fan lightly in the palm of his hand, turned his head to look at the swaying flowers and plants outside the courtyard, and said peacefully: "Master Zhao, why do you think the Gu family came to Youzhou to spend all their wealth? ?"

Zhao Heshun didn't speak, there were red bloodshot eyes in his eyes, he stared at Gu Jiusi, Gu Jiusi turned to look at him, and smiled: "Don't Mr. Zhao still know about Yangzhou?"

What's happening in Yangzhou is spreading no matter how slow it is. Hearing this, Zhao Heshun's expression changed dramatically, and he said angrily, "How dare he Fan Xuan do this?!"

"Why don't you dare?" Gu Jiusi stared at Zhao Heshun, "For the sake of money, the birds are killed for food, Master Zhao thinks that in the current situation, what else does Mr. Fan dare not?"

"Does Mr. Zhao not know what the Jiedu envoys are planning now? You might as well take a look at the recent fiscal expenditures in Youzhou, and what are purchased in large quantities. Wang Shanquan forced merchants to raise donations in Yangzhou, Where do you think the money has gone? All the military envoys have started to recruit troops and food, what do you think they are preparing for?"

"Master Zhao, Zhao Yan is still in prison, how do you choose, don't you know yourself? Life is more important or money is more important?"

Zhao Heshun's expression became cold, he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jiusi: "Then what did he give me?"

"What did he give to the Gu family?" Gu Jiusi chuckled, "then give you what."

"The position of county magistrate?!" Zhao Heshun was angry, Gu Jiusi shook his fan, "Master Zhao, don't get me wrong, the position of the county magistrate is earned by yourself. Mr. Fan is not A man who sells officials."

"Too bad!"

Gu Jiusi looked at Zhao Heshun's appearance, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Master Zhao, as a businessman, I understand what you think, but I advise you to follow the trend. The most important thing. You don't need to donate all the money like Gu Jia, but you have to give what Mr. Fan wants. If you don't give enough, then you will be a worse Gu Jia. At least I still have a place to stay, you It's not necessary."

"If you leave the green hills without worrying about no firewood, it's not good for your son to stay in prison for a long time. Besides," Gu Jiusi closed the fan and leaned over, "I will talk to you privately. Well, Mr. Fan doesn't really want to do everything he can to take this money for nothing, he will find a way to exchange it fairly. It's just that you can't choose what you get in exchange, that's all."

"What?" Zhao Heshun raised his eyes, Gu Jiusi returned to his original position, and said with a smile, "I don't know. But Mr. Zhao, look today, I forcibly levied silver, Or are you all decent and you donate voluntarily?"

Zhao Heshun had a dark face, gritted his teeth, Gu Jiusi lowered his head and laughed: "It seems that the lord wants to see the son, come here..."

"How much does Fan Xuan want?"

Zhao Heshun finally spoke up, Gu Jiusi gave the number, and then he said: "You can get it all at once today, it doesn't matter, give a deposit first. I'll wait here."

Zhao Heshun flicked his sleeves, stood up, and ordered someone to carry the money.

Then he returned to the main room, standing in the doorway with his hands folded in his sleeves. Turning against the light, he looked at Gu Jiusi and said, "Gu Jiusi, if you act like this, sooner or later you will make thousands of cuts."

Gu Jiusi drank tea for a while, Zhao Heshun mocked: "Which of the people who have been knives since ancient times has a good end? , "Young man, just wait."

Gu Jiusi did not speak, he drank the last sip of tea, and then said: "Master Zhao is wrong, it is not a knife, but a minister."

Zhao Heshun looked up at him, Gu Jiusi's expression was flat: "The minister of the people of the world. Mr. Zhao, I am forcing you today, but in the coming year, maybe you will be grateful to me?"

Speaking, Gu Jiusi put down the tea cup, smiled lightly, stood up, and bowed respectfully towards Zhao Heshun: "Farewell."

Gu Jiusi walked into the yard and saw Huanglong count the money. After he counted the money himself, he took the money back to the government office and handed it over to the warehouse.

Then he blamed Zhao Yan for twenty years, and sent him back with great fanfare.

As soon as Zhao Yan returned, the wealthy merchants in Wangdu City were all in a panic. Everyone planned their own plans, and Gu Jiusi gave an order that night to strictly guard the Wangdu.

After he did these things, he didn't know what happened to him, so he felt empty. He held the lamp, walked on the road in a daze, and finally went to the door of Huarong.

He was dressed in official clothes, sat on the steps, and put the lamp on the edge of the steps. Huang Long hesitated and said: "Sir, should I watch for you a little while waiting for Madam to come home?"

Gu Jiusi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, I'm waiting for my wife, you go back first."

Huang Long couldn't help laughing when he heard it. Knowing that this was the love between young people, he retreated.

After Huang Long left, Gu Jiusi sat at the door. He looked up at the stars, and suddenly found his home in this quiet night.

He was like a ghost who wandered for a day and finally found a place to stay. He couldn't help smiling, and after waiting for a while, Liu Yuru smiled and talked to someone and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Jiusi sitting at the door.

He was still in the same posture as before, but he was wearing an official robe, Liu Yuru was stunned, Gu Jiusi stood up with the lamp, he patted the ashes on his body, and said gently: "Busy Finished? I'll pick you up."

The sisters next to her laughed softly, and Yin Hong said happily: "Madam, let's go first."

Speaking, the big guy trotted away. Liu Yuru blushed because of their trouble, she coughed lightly, and walked to Gu Jiusi unnaturally: "Aren't you going to Zhao's house today? You're so busy, why are you picking me up?"

"I miss you." Gu Jiusi spoke directly, and Liu Yuru was stunned. She turned her head and didn't dare to look at him: "Why do you suddenly say this?"

Gu Jiusi smiled softly, he looked at her eyebrows and felt that this person had a kind of detached cleanliness in this world.

She shone on him tenderly, giving him all the courage to go forward.

Liu Yuru felt that he was staring at him for a long time, and couldn't help but look back at him: "What's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jiusi suddenly stretched out his hand, he held her in his arms, and hugged her tightly.

"Yuru," he couldn't help but say, "don't leave me, stay with me, okay?"

"That's natural." Liu Yuru chuckled, "You stop me, how can I leave you?"

Gu Jiusi didn't speak, he hugged her, he didn't know if it was a comfort. He felt peaceful and joyful, but there was still a trace of unwillingness that could not be explained or understood.

He wanted more, but he didn't know what more Liu Yuru had, and he could give it to him later.

He has got enough, no matter how greedy he is, he is greedy.

He felt that hugs were his way of gaining strength, he hugged enough, and finally let go of her, then he took her hand, took what was in her hand, held the lamp, happy Said: "Go, go home."

Liu Yuru didn't know what he went through, but she clearly felt the change in his mood, so she didn't say anything, just accompany him hand in hand, walking on the bluestone road.

She looked at the people around her, wearing a blue official robe, but walking like a child, she couldn't help chuckling: "You are an official Now, take it easy."

"Stability is not important," Gu Jiusi looked back at her, "Are you handsome?"

"What am I ashamed of?" Gu Jiusi was serious, "My main business is to eat Boss Liu's soft rice, part-time job as a county magistrate, I should be ashamed if I don't do my main business well!"

Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, then she realized that she couldn't laugh or cry, raised her hand and pinched Gu Jiusi: "Gu Jiusi, you two-faced."

Gu Jiusi shouted, pretending to be in severe pain: "Boss Liu, be merciful! Give me a little life!"

"Gu Jiusi," Liu Yuru was amused by him, and she lost her strength in pinching him, "You are such a big man, what can I do to you?"

"You can't say that," Gu Jiusi said with a serious face, "Of course an ordinary woman can't be like that, but you are a woman who can beat a county government."

Liu Yuru froze, she coughed unnaturally, and seemed a little embarrassed to let go, she didn't speak, as if she was looking for a response, Gu Jiusi quickly raised his hand and wrapped her shoulders, He smiled and said, "Don't think too much, I'm very happy that you did this for me."

Liu Yuru responded in a low voice, Gu Jiusi looked at her, he actually didn't understand, how could she be able to lead someone to beat a county government person outside, how could she just say a word in front of herself Shy, bowed his head in one action.

If he hadn't seen her beat Aunt Du, Huanglong, and the injuries on the faces of the dozen or so yamen, he would never have imagined that this was something Liu Yuru could do.

He couldn't help but sigh, Liu Yuru said strangely: "What are you sighing for?"

"I was thinking," Gu Jiusi said regretfully, "I have always prided myself on being smart and transparent, and I can see everything clearly, but in you, I found that I am a fool."

"Huh?"

"If someone told me that you bullied them, I really can't believe it, I think they bullied you, and they caused you trouble."

Liu Yuru couldn't help laughing: "When I went to Chunfenglou to trouble you and force you to study, did you forget?"

"That's why I let you," Gu Jiusi said hurriedly, "otherwise, with your temperament, who can you bully?"

Liu Yuru smirked, Gu Jiusi looked down at her and scratched her chin.

"It's cute to beat people, but you're bullied."

Liu Yuru couldn't help it, and laughed out loud while covering her stomach.

Gu Jiusi looked at her and laughed, and he couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

He suddenly felt that all giving up, all efforts, and all misunderstandings had meaning.

He is the official, and his dirty hands are actually for the girl in front of him.

He wants her to be rich and prosperous and safe.
