I’m Not Really A Study God

The new emperor Li Sheng ascended the throne, a routine amnesty for the world. Although this was the feudal era, the traffic was not so developed, but Chang’an City felt the new emperor’s kindness on the same day and began to celebrate.

Li Sheng ascended the throne and took out a huge amount of gold and silver from the Imperial Palace inner library. All the citizens in the capital of Chang’an, whether they are infants or young people, can be assigned a silver taels. Looking at the purchasing power of one silver taels, you must know that in the current Datang, one silver taels is enough for a family of three to live for half a month.

The two silvers were not issued by officials such as the Huhu. After all, Li Sheng is not stupid. He knows how many worms are up and down the Huhu. The 30,000 Forbidden Army has only left a thousand guarding the Imperial Palace today. The rest brought various rosters, starting with Chang’an residents and handing out from door to door.

As soon as this incident came out, people moved towards the Imperial Palace and slumped their gratitude everywhere, Western District slum area, waiting for the forbidden army to release here, many beggars, homeless people, or because of various hardships. The ordinary people here are also more grateful.

In front of an ordinary shanty house where a family of four gathered, a teenager knelt and thanked the emperor in excitement before turning around and shouting to the left and right, “father, mother, we have the money to ask Yan’er for a doctor.” “

The young man’s name is Wang Peizhong. Their family was originally pretty good in Chang’an. The native people of Chang’an have an old house in the east of the city. Royal Father Tie Xiong is also a professional blacksmith. Eat, raise the little moisturizer that a family can live by.

Such a good life was bankrupted because of a serious illness of the youngest daughter Wang Yan.

Not to mention that the ancestral house was sold long ago. Wang Tiexiong still owes a lot of foreign debts. A few days ago to pay off the debt, he was tired and ill. Fortunately, Wang Tiexiong was too tired to fall ill. , As long as you rest and recuperate for a day or two, it will be fine.

Wang Yan’s illness is the trouble. So far, she has not improved, and she is almost dying.

Her disease, let modern people in the 21st century see, it is not horrible, the high fever caused by tetanus, etc., modern people, the society in the age of inanimate, can be solved with a few injections, but In ancient times, this serious illness that scared countless front-line soldiers also made countless doctors helpless.

Of course, symptoms such as high fever caused by tetanus are not necessarily mortal. Wang Family also decided to go on selling the house to borrow money and so on.

“The emperor’s grace is mighty, if Yan’er can get better, you must remember who gave us our life. Hurry up, I will go to Doctor Li immediately, and you will take care of Yan’er at home.”

Wang Yan’s tetanus, speaking of which is also a tragedy, it’s nothing more than that when she was playing outside, she was shocked by a beloved horse from Earl’s house, and the other party cut down Wang Yan and injured her. Although not dead…

I got tetanus afterwards.

For Earl’s daughter? Wang Tiexiong, the pillar of the Wang Family, is just a little blacksmith. Wherever he dared to pursue any responsibility, he didn’t dare to go to court and so on, and went bankrupt to save his daughter if he endured everything.

The Doctor Li in his mouth is also a well-known doctor, and he is still respected by countless ordinary people.

Wang Peizhong waited excitedly when Wang Tiexiong left. After 5 minutes of time passed, the little boy’s expression changed drastically, watching the silhouettes walking forward vigilantly.

A young man headed in front laughed, “Ergou, today the new emperor ascends the throne to benefit all the people, your family is also the four silver taels? The debt owed to you Liu Ye, shouldn’t it be changed?”

Wang Peizhong issued a timid message, but still showed a flattering smile, “Liu Ye, isn’t this the agreed date for debt repayment has not yet arrived, my younger sister is currently at a critical juncture…”

Liu Ye, a young man with gorgeous clothes, is a loaner in the downtown area of ​​the east of the city. I heard that he has a strong background and walks under a large nobleman’s house.

Be reasonable, a debtor must pay his debt is justified.

But the two silver taels that their family borrowed from Master Liu had agreed on a one-month period, and it was only six days today.

As long as his father goes back to work in the blacksmith’s shop, Wang Peizhong can follow to help. If he works hard, he still has hope. A family of three can live for half a month with only one silver taels. For expenses and food, Wang Tiexiong is a very skilled blacksmith, and his salary is not too low. He basically makes two or two a month.

The Queen Mother can also do some female workers to earn some subsidies, and Wang Peizhong is also growing up.

The debts they borrowed from Wang Family are not limited to Master Liu. Originally, some relatives and friends, Wang Tiexiong’s colleagues, etc., all borrowed a part, just to save the younger who has been suffering from a high fever for several days. Sister, used too many precious medicine ingredients.

The old houses are all sold. You can imagine how much you invested before and after. After all, this is Chang’an, the capital of the Great Tang Empire. Even the old houses in the civilian area are of great value. An honest minister who was transferred to Chang’an from another place could not afford to buy ordinary houses and could only rent them.

Of course, this is only for the corrupt ministers, and the gluttonous generation of corruption and bribery is definitely not included.

While being pleased with a laugh, Wang Peizhong reluctantly took out ten coins of copper coins, “Liu Ye, take care of it…”

Liu did not even look at those ten coins. Grinning said with a smile, “The agreed time has not arrived, but I seriously doubt your debt repayment ability that’s all. Take the four silver taels out, and I will turn around and leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not remembering the old feelings and start very ruthless. “

Wang Peizhong was shocked again, “Master Liu, this…”

Even if it’s the agreed bad debt date, it’s impossible. He knows that money lenders like Master Liu give It is usury, which generally has a 100% annual interest rate.

The Emperor Tang was benevolent and promulgated the corresponding laws long ago. The annual interest rate for private loans should not exceed 30%. However, in the process of governance, it is the officials at all levels who monitor the market, and the most active private lenders , They are all running dogs of this kind of high-ranking officials and dignitaries… You can imagine that the Tang Emperor’s law clearly meant that the high-ranking officials and dignitaries earn less. This is “competing with the people for profit.” How could they agree?

The annual interest rate is 100%, which is already an ordinary market. As a young man in Beijing, Wang Peizhong has occasionally heard that some guys in some cities outside the city are playing more crazy. One year, 100% annual interest , Recalculate in the principal, and maintain 100% next time.

That means you borrowed ten taels, and you have to pay 20 taels at the end of the year. No money? Then the next year will be calculated based on 20 taels of principal, and 40 taels will be returned at maturity. Are you out of money? The third year is eighty taels.

Wang Family people know that the terrifying of loan sharks, the normal people who can easily squander their wealth and sell their children and sell their daughters, but don’t they borrow monthly interest? One month’s loan is not 100% crazy.

Nine out of thirteen return that’s all.

They actually borrowed one, two or eight dollars, and then returned two or six dollars afterwards.

After being shocked, he dared not resist, Wang Peizhong knelt down and kowtowed, “Liu Ye, please give me a little bit of mercy. Pity our family, my younger sister is counting on these four silver taels for help.”

p>

Liu Ye laughed loudly, “Pity you, who will pity me? However, it is not impossible for you to postpone it, so let’s sign this deed, and I will let you wait for more than twenty Heaven repays the debt.”

In the laughter, he took out a deed of sale.

It is of course nonsense to question the Wang Family’s debt repayment ability. Wang Tiexiong’s exquisite craftsmanship is also a small reputation. Otherwise, how could he get a high salary? He is operating normally, profiting from somebody’s misfortune hit a person when he’s down, and wants Wang Family father and son to sign a contract to sell his life, as a slave and a maid, and work for him that’s all for nothing.

From the moment he borrowed money, he wanted to do this. How could he have thought that the Emperor Old Sovereign didn’t know what was going crazy today, he was only in his forties? The new emperor is also crazy and just ascends to the throne. In the past, he would amnesty the world, reducing the sentence for prisoners in jail, and distributing rice to the ordinary people for one day.
