Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 959: Burn it!

"Xiaoxuan, don't do that!"

In the Yunshan courtyard, Han Lizheng heard what Li Zexuan and Hu Hanyun said, "Xiaoxuan, you may not know the situation of the other Zhuangzi. Take Liujiazhuang as an example. They have just merged with you. In the previous autumn harvest, they still paid the rent according to the requirements of the previous landlord’s house, and this year’s harvest was generally not good, which made it worse.

Their place is not rich, and it’s good to have enough food. If you let them get so many tarpaulins, even if they sell all the food at home, it’s not enough! Xiaoxuan, since you have thought of this way to help the dealers increase their income, then you definitely want all the dealers to receive this favor, right? So this question, father-in-law still hopes you can consider it carefully! "

After listening, Li Zexuan was silent for a while, secretly saying that he still took it for granted.

The price of fabrics in the early Tang Dynasty was very cheap, and the price of a pin of fine silk was no more than the price of rice, that is, you can buy a pin of silk for three or four cents. As for the coarse oilcloth used to build a greenhouse, it is even cheaper. Calculated, the cost of a greenhouse is actually two to three hundred yuan.

Li Zexuan has a ready-to-wear shop at home. He naturally knows the current cloth prices in Chang'an. It is because of knowing that he subconsciously thinks that the people should be able to afford the cost of a greenhouse, two or three hundred yuan. Well, it's equivalent to a few thousand dollars in modern times. If one family squeezes, it should be possible to get it together.

But he overlooked a problem. In this era, the degree of exploitation of peasants by landlords is far unmatched in modern times. In this era, people who can't eat enough to eat and can't afford to wear clothes can be seen everywhere! Is two or three hundred yuan really a small sum? For some people, these two to three hundred yuan may be enough for their family to eat for a year! !

"The father-in-law said that my son-in-law is indeed a little thoughtless!"

Li Zexuan thought for a moment, took the initiative to admit his mistake, and continued: "Why not, my son-in-law puts out a thousand pennies and puts it with his father-in-law. If the dealers are willing to build a large shed and have difficulties at home, they can come and find Father-in-law, you borrow a sum of money, and each household can borrow up to 500 wen. They don’t need to pay any profit, as long as they can pay off the principal within a year! Father-in-law, what do you think about this~?"

As for capital borrowing, it is not unique to modern times, and it is nothing new in ancient times. One of the four sons of the Warring States Period, Meng Changjun was able to support 3,000 customers and recruit talents from all walks of life through the sale of loans and interest. According to historical records, Xue Di failed in one year, and many people did not pay interest. Monarch Mengchang sent people to collect, but still "earned an interest of 100,000 yuan", which shows that the scale of money lending is very large.

In contrast, Li Zexuan is not a loan at all, it is purely a good deed, after all, he does not charge interest!

Han Li was smiling and said: "That's great! In this way, Xiaoxuan, you are really working for the welfare of the people~!"

"Hey! Master, you are really kind, the bank in Chang'an City lends money to people, and you still need 10% of the profit every month~!"

Old Hu grinned.

This preferential terms, to be honest, he was a little excited.

Regarding private lending, it was the first peak of usury in Chinese history in the Qin and Han dynasties. After the Tang Dynasty, private lending developed more rapidly. There were many pawnshops in the West Market, so it became the earliest in China. Financial Street.

Of course, in order to curb usury, the imperial government also imposed many restrictions on private lending. It is clearly documented that the legal interest rate at this time was 10% per month and the annual interest rate was 120%, which was calculated as compound interest compared to the Qin and Han Dynasties. The interest rate of usury is relatively friendly, but for the common people, the interest rate is still relatively high, so Lao Hu couldn't help but be moved when he heard that Li Zexuan wanted to lend money to the dealer without interest.

After all, if you borrow money from a bank, you can borrow 500 liters, and you will have to pay 600 liters after one year. If you count it this way, you really earn it if you borrow it!

Li Zexuan smiled and turned to the subject: "Uncle Hu, father-in-law, take a closer look at this greenhouse. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. In the past few days, we will promote this greenhouse to All the dealers, you will be working hard~!"

Han Li nodded and said: "Okay! I and Lao Hu take a good look~!"

He and Hu Hanyun, although they had a period of uninhibited years when they were young, they were honestly farming at home later, and they are considered as out-and-out farmers, imitating others to grow vegetables, this is not a small dish. dish?

..................

On the second day, Old Hu left early in the morning. Today, he did not follow the young and majestic mountains in the village as a guard. He has more important things, that is, buying steps.

If you don’t have a ready-made tarpaulin, buy coarse cloth, then buy some tung oil, go home and make it yourself.

When I went there was an empty bullock cart, but when I came back, it was filled with a cart of coarse cloth and there were two barrels of tung oil hanging on the edges.

"Yo~! Isn't this old Hu? Why do you buy so much cloth? Make clothes for your son? It's not right, why don't you buy silk cloth for clothes~IndoMTL.com~ but buy so much coarse cloth? "

On the road, I always meet some acquaintances. Lao Hu usually laughs and sloppyly said: "Haha! Recently there is a shortage of firewood at home, buy some coarse cloth and burn it back~!"

Not a member of Zhuangzi, Lao Hu is determined not to tell the secret of growing off-season vegetables in greenhouses. ,

It's just that his response was too terrifying.

"Buy coarse cloth and burn it as firewood~?"

Everyone who heard Lao Hu’s response doubted whether Lao Hu’s head was burnt out. Although Lao Hu’s family’s situation has improved a lot this year, it shouldn’t be extravagant to use coarse cloth as firewood, right?

"Fucking kid! I'm back! Come out and help get things~!"

The road from Chang'an Official Road to Hanjiazhuang is now flat and wide. After a while, Lao Hu returned home. As soon as he entered the yard, Hu Hanyun shouted.

"Hey, the boss came back so soon?"

When Liu Yuee heard the sound, she ran out of the house, and when she saw the coarse cloth piled up on the bullock cart, she was shocked: "This...this, the owner, how much cloth did you buy? Huh~?"

Hu Hanyun wiped his sweat and grinned: "Hey! It's also the cloth of Sanguanqian. The shopkeeper said, if I buy more, I will give more, so I bought more. No loss, no loss~"

"Not at a loss? What did you say when you left? You only bought a couple of dollars. Now you have bought such a big car, what do you use the extra for?"

Liu Yue'e heard the words.

"What are you doing? Burning! Ahhh, it's growing vegetables!"

Lao Hu answered too much this question along the way, and he almost said the two words directly.
