Chapter 103 Strategy
"Wang Er owes Liu Fu 100 taels of silver. It is now clear that he cannot repay, so he is immediately put into prison and his family members are notified to bring money to redeem him." Dongguan County did not pay attention to the debt, so they could only be put into prison first. As for Wang Er ( (Old farmer) Whether he has any family, we will talk about it later.

After today, there is plenty of room for maneuver.

"Liu Fu forced Liang into prostitution and gave him a fifty-fifty staff. He asked Daliu to seek an island, confiscating his family property and paying compensation to Wang Er's daughter."

"Take people to the brothels immediately, escort all the thieves who buy and sell women from good families, and try them harshly." Chen Xun planned to expand the scope of the case: "Comprehensively investigate the brothels in Dongguan, and punish all those who force girls into prostitution." At fifty, I went to Daliu to seek an island, and my family property was confiscated."

"Yes!" More than a dozen personal guards came out to take orders.

The two escorted the old farmer to the back office, and the two escorted Liu Yuanwai to the yard outside the lobby. The others rushed out of the office and sealed off the brothel.

"Master Qingtian!!"

"Blue Sky!!" The people outside the hospital shouted loudly when they heard the result of Chen Xun's trial.

Although the old farmer Wang Er was imprisoned, Liu Fu received a punishment that the working people loved to see, so everyone was very happy and changed from their previous numbness.

No matter in which era, hatred of the rich is a relatively common mentality among civilians.

The original sin of Qiu Fu is jealousy.

If you don’t have it, others have it. If you can’t do it, others can.

This kind of jealousy gave birth to the mentality of hating the rich.

The people outside the hospital were not very concerned about Wang Er, who was of the same class, being imprisoned. All their attention was drawn to Liu Fu, who was being tortured with a cane.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped! …

Every time the stick went down, Liu Fu would let out a scream.

The executioner was a personal guard of Chenjiazhuang. He did not master any special skills of "stick punishment". He did not know how to spank the fleshy buttocks and did not know how to hold back his strength. He directly hit Liu Fu hard on the back with the stick.

After more than ten strokes, Liu Fu was already dying.

After thirty blows, Liu Fulian had no reaction.

By the time he was fifty, Liu Fu's skin was torn and his flesh was torn, leaving only a body that was still warm.

The people watching the excitement outside the hospital stopped making noises. They never thought that this "Master Qingtian" really beat Liu Yuanwai, a wealthy man, to death.

The result is certain, Chen Xun has people shouting outside the door, whether there is still justice.

Perhaps because Liu Fu's death was so miserable, no one dared to come in for a while.

Chen Xun understood that today's goal had been achieved, so he handed over the lobby to a military official and returned to the backyard.

"Mr. Lang, if we do this, we will completely offend the gentry and wealthy merchants." Lu Hui said with some worry.

"It doesn't matter, it's not them that we can get to where we are today, but the people at the bottom." Chen Xun replied: "This reliance will not change now and will not change in the future. And with this reliance, we can definitely go forward far away until we see the final light.”

"In today's case, Wang Er's daughter was sold by Liu Fu, and you caught the handle. After that, those gentry and wealthy businessmen will learn their lesson and will definitely avoid this kind of thing from happening. Even if it has been done before, they will definitely quickly erase the traces , to eliminate hidden dangers." Lu Hui said: "This does not solve the fundamental problem." "I call people who are controlled by debt and have no freedom debt slaves." Chen Xun explained to Lu Hui, while giving a lesson to the guard next to him .

"It's impossible to put an end to this debt slavery."

"But it can minimize or improve the living conditions of existing debt slaves."

"How to do it?" Lu Hui asked.

“What needs to be done most at present is to punish the unscrupulous rich people who use debt to skin and cramp the people, and to save this part of the debt slaves from water and fire, and they must be justified.”

"Just like today, when those unscrupulous rich people harm the people, their methods will definitely be very cruel, and there will definitely be some behaviors that constitute violations. As long as he breaks the law, he will naturally be at our mercy."

"What if there are real gentry and wealthy businessmen who just borrowed money and didn't ruin their families?" Lu Hui asked.

It's not impossible.

"If there are such kind people, naturally we can't persecute them." Chen Xun first set the tone: "But we can't let the people who borrow money not see the end of the debt repayment."

"Like Wang Er today, this kind of debt is too huge and it is impossible for the debtor to pay it off. Take them to the debt settlement department, pay all the family property to the creditor, and then settle the debt."

"How can these people live without their family property?" Lu Hui asked.

"This requires us to help, find some jobs for them within our ability, and pay them normal salaries, and their lives will gradually get better." Chen Xun gave an example: "For example, working in a factory, clearing wasteland, or building roads and bridges , you can also enlist as a soldier, as long as you are not a lazy person, you will never starve to death."

"Lang Jun has thought carefully." The guards around him all praised.

"However, this method can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. If we want to cure the root cause, we need to be more detailed and in-depth." Chen Xun continued the class.

“We mainly start from two aspects.”

"First, usury is prohibited and the annual interest rate cannot exceed a certain value. Interest rates exceeding this value will not be recognized by the government, even if there is an IOU."

"This..., there are many ways to get around it. For example, Liu Fu today can write more principal on the IOU, borrow ten taels, and write 20 taels." Lu Hui asked: "There are always people who are in urgent need of money, or Healing illnesses, or saving lives, we will definitely follow through.”

"This requires the second point I will say next as a supplement."

"Official banks are established by the government to lend money to the general public and charge very low interest rates. The annual interest rate is 5.00% to [-]%. With this low-interest lending method, the possibility you mentioned can naturally be reduced. To the smallest.”

"If there are a large number of lazy people borrowing money from the bank, and they cannot make any money, the bank will be unable to support it sooner or later, right? Besides, for all the people, how can we have so much money as principal?" Lu Hui asked again.

Chen Xun was very pleased to see Lu Hui. He could always recruit some key points.

"Just make good regulations. Check the details of the borrower before lending. Only if the conditions are met can the loan be made. For example, the borrower has the ability to repay, or has fixed assets that can be used as pledge."

"For those who are in urgent need of money to save their lives, the conditions can be relaxed in accordance with the principle of helping the emergency and not the poor, and help if you can."

"As for the principal issue, we can collect and save and give some interest to savers, attracting wealthy people to deposit money into the bank, and the money generates money. Then we will lend the money out and earn the interest difference to maintain the bank's existence. , and can also make up for some holes caused by bad debts.”
