Chapter 298 Folk Response

Zhujia Village.

The news of Qingzhou road construction also spread here.

When the reporter finished reading the newspaper in the morning and confirmed the time, Zhu Wuliu returned home from the threshing farm, "Father, I want to contract a section of Qingzhou road, you can see it, now is the slack season, and there is nothing to do at home. ."

"Pfft!" Before Zhu Wuliu's father could speak, Zhu Liushi suddenly laughed, "Husband, Wuliu has grown up and knows how to make money."

Zhu Wuliu was overjoyed and said, "Mother, do you agree?"

"I agree, I'll give you the money from the family." Zhu Liu rolled his eyes, and Zhu Wuliu's father suddenly laughed, with a smile on his face,

Zhu Wuliu immediately lowered his face, "Your eyes are too shallow, this is a job to make money, how can you lose money."

"Do you have the brains to do business?" Zhu Liushi said while washing clothes.

Zhu Wuliu shrugged his head, not knowing what to say.

"What are you talking about!" At this moment, Zhu Sansi's voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.

Zhu Wuliu was overjoyed when he heard this voice and turned his head. He saw Zhu Sansi in a dark green gown standing tall and straight in front of the door, handsome and dignified, and behind Zhu Sansi, a pair of villagers surrounded Zhu Sansi. Zhu Sansi pointed at the clothes on his body.

"Brother!" Zhu Wuliu shouted, "Why are your clothes so beautiful, Zhang Xiucai in the village will be compared by you."

Zhu Liu's eyes lit up, if it wasn't for Zhu Sansi's familiar face, he wouldn't dare to recognize this as his son, she wiped her hands and walked a few steps to Zhu Sansi, "Three or four, not three Do you visit relatives once a month? Why did you come back today?"

Zhu Sansi stretched out his hand to block Zhu Wuliu's hand from trying to touch his military uniform, and said, "Your Highness is kind, this time I'll give you one more family visit day."

"It's great, it's great." Zhu Liushi was very happy, and she was very happy to see her son back again.

Zhu Wuliu looked unwilling, and he asked: "Brother, where did you get this dress, I want to buy one too."

Zhu Sansi smiled and said, "You can't buy it if you want. This is the uniform of our Qingzhou Army. Outsiders are not allowed to wear it."

"Ah, then I'll join the army too!" Zhu Wuliu shouted.

"Nonsense, didn't you just say you were going to contract cement roads? Why did you join the army again?" Zhu Wuliu's father looked at Zhu Sansi's proud face, this is his son, and now the pride of the entire Zhujia Village.

Looking at the crowd of people watching Zhu Wuliu outside the door, he became even more complacent, and when he walked to the door, he coughed, "I'm sorry, it's not easy for Wuliu to come back, let us also whisper."

"Old Zhu, your family's five or six really shines on the lintel. Hey, I knew I would have let that kid from our family join the army. Look at the current five or six, it's really enviable. This military uniform is so beautiful."

Many young people outside the door also have red eyes, and secretly want to join the army. When they return to the village to visit relatives in a military uniform, they should give their families more faces.

Zhu Wuliu's father nodded politely, and when the outsiders left, he slowly closed the door, and then said, "My son, go and kill our old rooster to make up for Wuliu's body."

Zhu Wuliu saliva suddenly flowed out and said, "You guys are really partial, why don't you kill chickens to make up for my body?"

Zhu Liushi laughed and scolded: "If you have half the promise of your brother, I will kill the chicken for you to eat."

Zhu Wuliu's eyes squinted, "Then you give me money to contract the cement road."

Zhu Sansi also learned about this when he was in the army. He learned that his younger brother wanted to contract the cement road, so he said, "Father, mother, let Wu Liu try it."

"The reporter also said this, but contracting the cement road requires money to hire people and spend money to buy materials. Although our family saved 20 taels of silver last year, it's not enough for such a toss." Zhu Liushi said.

Zhu Sansi stood up and said, "I still have more than 20 taels of silver here, which is the salary of the army. I'll give it to you as well. I don't need money for food and lodging in the army, so it's useless to keep it."

Then he said: "And when I was in the army, I also heard about the bank. It is said that you can borrow money from the government office, but you have to deposit something of the same value. It is really impossible to deposit our land deed."

"Are you a fool to be a soldier?" Zhu Liushi said angrily when he heard the words: "It's just getting better these days, so you are tossing around."

Zhu Sansi explained: "Mother, you don't understand. This time, His Highness proposed to borrow money from the bank. At that time, in order to let the people of Qingzhou have more businessmen, maybe they can join the Chamber of Commerce and become a big businessman after May or Sixth. A lot of money."

Zhu Wuliu became more and more fascinated by Zhu Sansi's words. He said, "Father, mother, let me try it. It's really impossible to take my land out."

The eyes of the two sons were bright, and Mrs. Zhu Liu and her husband looked at each other and said, "Three or four, is this really His Highness's original intention?"

"It's not wrong, I heard what the Governor Niu said." Zhu Sansi affirmed.

Nodding, Zhu Liu said to her husband, "Then let five or six try?"

...

In the Qingzhou government office, Pang Yukun was busy with his feet not touching the ground. The bidding for the road had already begun, and many businessmen had already submitted the road section they wanted to contract to the government office.

At the same time, a special place was temporarily set up in the government office, and this place was a temporary bank.

Although Xiao Ming asked him to set up a bank, the location and personnel required time, and the policy of supporting the people could not be delayed, so he could only set up temporary personnel in the government office to be responsible for this matter.

"How? Are there people here to borrow money?" Xiao Ming asked.

Pang Yukun shook his head, "No, it's not easy for the common people to have some extra money in their hands, so naturally they wouldn't be so bold. After all, His Highness's move is a bit like a folk usury."

Xiao Ming shook his head when he heard the words, he also expected this.

But it doesn't matter, as long as one commoner gets actual benefits, the following thing will become a matter of course.

The two of them were talking when they suddenly saw a Qingzhou soldier in military uniform entering the government office. Xiao Ming looked at him and said in surprise, "Zhu Sansi, why are you here?"

"Zhu Sansi has seen His Highness. I brought my younger brother to borrow money from the government office. He wants to contract the construction of the Qingzhou cement road." Zhu Sansi said a little embarrassedly.

Xiao Ming suddenly laughed when he heard the words, this finally had a beginning, he said: "Yes, yes, Pang Changshi, isn't this person here?"

Pang Yukun also smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, it seems that our soldiers in Qingzhou have good ideas."

Having said that, he sat down and personally asked Zhu Wuliu the amount of silver he wanted to borrow and the items he pledged.

And Xiao Ming took Zhu Sansi and asked him to choose a road for his younger brother to build.
