Zhujia Village.

News of road construction in Qingzhou also reached here.

When the reporter finished reading the newspaper in the morning and determined the time, Zhu Wuliu returned home from the threshing floor and said, “Dad, I want to contract a section of Qingzhou Road. Do you think it will work? It is the slack time for farming now, and there is nothing to do at home.” “Pfft!

“

Before Zhu Wuliu’s father could speak, Mrs. Zhu Liu suddenly laughed, “Husband, Wuliu has grown up and knows how to make money.”

Zhu Wuliu said with joy. “You agree?” “You agree, how can I give you any money at home?” Zhu Liu rolled his eyes, and Zhu Wuliu’s father

immediately

smiled.

She blushed and said, “You are too short-sighted. This is a job to make money, how can you lose money.”

“Do you have the brains to do business?” Zhu Liu said while washing clothes.

Zhu Wuliu immediately lowered 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. He turned around and saw Zhu Sansi, wearing a dark green gown, standing tall and majestic in front of the door. Behind Zhu Sansi, a pair of villagers surrounded Zhu Sansi and said: Zhu Sansi pointed at the clothes on his body.

“Brother!” Zhu Wuliu shouted, “Why are your clothes so beautiful? You can even compare to Zhang Xiucai in the village.”

Zhu Liu’s eyes were shining. If it weren’t for Zhu Sansi’s familiar face, he would She didn’t dare to recognize that this was her son. She wiped her hands and walked a few steps to Zhu Sansi, “Sansi, didn’t you say that you visit relatives every three months? Why is he back today?”

Zhu Sansi He stretched out his hand to block Zhu Wuliu’s hand that was trying to touch his uniform, and said, “Your Highness, please forgive me for giving me one more family visit day this time.”

“That’s great, that’s great.” Mrs. Zhu Liu looked happy, seeing her again. She was very happy when her son came back.

Zhu Wuliu looked unwilling and 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 to. This is what we have Outsiders are not allowed to wear the uniforms of the Qingzhou Army.

“Ah, then I will join the army too!” Zhu Wuliu shouted.

“Nonsense, didn’t you just say that you were going to contract cement roads? Why are you going to be a soldier again?” Zhu Wuliu’s father looked at the pride on Zhu Sansi’s face. This is his son, and now the pride of the entire Zhujia Village.

Looking at the crowds of people outside the door watching Zhu Wuliu, he felt even more proud. When he walked to the door, he coughed and said, “I’m sorry. It’s not easy for Wuliu to come back. Let’s keep a secret among our family.”

“Lao Zhu, having Wuliu in your family really shines the light of the family. If I had known, I would have asked that kid from our family to join the army. Look at Wuliu now. It’s really enviable. This military uniform is so beautiful.

” Many young people outside are also red-eyed, and secretly want to join the army. When the time comes, they will wear a military uniform and return to the village to visit relatives, which will bring more face to their families.

Zhu Wuliu’s father nodded politely, slowly closed the door to his house after all the outsiders had left, and then said: “My dear, go and kill our old rooster to replenish Wuliu’s health.”

Zhu Wuliu Drool suddenly flowed out, and he said: “You are so partial, why do you never kill chickens to replenish my body?”

Zhu Liu laughed and scolded: “If you are half as successful as your brother, I will kill chickens for you to eat.”

Zhu Wuliu’s eyes squinted, “Then you give me money to contract cement roads.”

Zhu Sansi also learned about this when he was in the army. When he learned that his younger brother wanted to contract cement roads, he said, “Dad “Mom, let Wuliu give it a try.”

“The reporter also said this, but to contract the cement road, we have to spend money to hire people and buy materials. Although our family saved 20 taels last year. Money, but it’s not enough to go through such trouble,” Zhu Liu said.

Zhu Sansi stood up and said: “I still have more than twenty taels of silver here, which is the salary of the army. Give it to you too. I don’t need any silver for food and accommodation in the army, so there is no use keeping it.

” 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, but you have to deposit something of equal value. It is really impossible to deposit our land deed.”

“You .

Are you a fool to become a soldier?” When Zhu Liu heard this, he said angrily: “These days are just getting better, so you just make trouble.”

Zhu Sansi explained: “Mother, you don’t understand, this time His Highness proposed to borrow money from the bank. In order to let us Qingzhou people have a few more businessmen, maybe they can join the Chamber of Commerce in the future and become a big businessman with a lot of money.”

Zhu Wuliu became more and more fascinated by Zhu Sansi’s words, and he said: “Dad. “Mom, just let me try. If it doesn’t work, take my land out.”

The two sons looked at each other with bright eyes and said, “Sansi, is this really your highness’s original intention?

” It’s not wrong, I heard what Governor Niu said,” Zhu Sansi affirmed.

Nodding, Mrs. Zhu Liu said to her husband: “Then let Wuliu give it a try?”

…

Pang Yukun was busy in the Qingzhou government office. The bidding for the road had begun, and many businessmen were already coming to the government office. Submitted the road section that I wanted to contract.

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

Although Xiao Ming asked him to start building a bank, it would take time to select a location and staff, and the policy of supporting the people could not be delayed. Therefore, he could only set up temporary staff in the government office to take charge of this matter.

“How is it? Are there any people coming to borrow money?” Xiao Ming asked.

Pang Yukun shook his head, “No, it’s not easy for ordinary people to have some spare money, so naturally they won’t be so bold. After all, His Highness’s move is somewhat similar to private usurious debt.”

Xiao Ming shook his head immediately after hearing this. He also expected this.

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

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a Qingzhou soldier wearing a military uniform entering the government office. Xiao Ming looked at it and was surprised: “Zhu Sansi, why are you here?”

“Zhu Sansi has met His Highness, I brought him.” I brought my younger brother to borrow money from the government office. He wants to contract the construction of the cement road in Qingzhou,” Zhu Sansi said with some embarrassment.

Xiao Ming laughed immediately after hearing this. This finally had a beginning. He said: “Yes, yes, Pang Changshi, isn’t this man here?”

Pang Yukun also smiled and said: “Your Highness, it seems that our Qingzhou soldiers The ideas are all good.”

As he said that, he sat down and asked Zhu Wuliu personally about the amount of money he wanted to borrow and the items he wanted to pledge.

Xiao Ming, on the other hand, took Zhu Sansi and asked him to choose a section of road to build for his brother.
