Turbulent Times Chapter 348: Forgive me
(Thank you very much for the generosity and monthly ticket support of "Xinfei inexplicable 101".)
"Putong!"
Wang Junlin, pretending to be confused, looked at the remaining nobles and big landlords who hadn't had time to pretend to faint, and asked with a slight smile, "Why are you all lying down? Is the interest rate too high? When your neighbors are suffering in this snow disaster, how much interest do you charge for lending? Hurry up and tell me, I will charge you the same interest as when you lend!"
"Forgive me, Lord Marquis—!" The remaining half of the nobles and big landlords immediately collapsed and nearly a quarter collapsed. The rest staggered their heads to the ground and wailed loudly.
According to the folk market at this time, the three-point profit is indeed not high. In order to seize other people's property, the nobles and big landlords have let go of the debts of the king of Hades who have borrowed four, four and a half, or even borrowed two for three, and five for ten. But at that time, they were all creditors, not victims of usury, so they didn't feel the pain. At this moment, he suddenly became a victim, and he immediately understood how desperate the debtor was at that time!
"Shut up! Anyone who dares to howl again will have his head cut off." How could Wang Junlin soften his heart just because these people fainted or cried? The howling stopped abruptly, and everyone shut up. Wang Junlin said calmly: "How do you oppress the people in the fish and meat village? As a military commander, I am not a governor or prefect. In fact, I don't want to care about it, but you dare to follow Longxi. Mrs. Li calculated this Marquis, and according to Ben Hou's temperament, he actually wanted to kill your whole family, but when he thought that there are still tens of thousands of victims waiting for relief, so he gave you a chance to forgive your sins with money and food, and you are so uncooperative, Then you have to use torture to extract the whereabouts of your food, and then kill you."
"Shen Guang, go prepare the instruments of torture." "Yes!" Shen Guang responded immediately, and then pretended to go out. The nobles and landowners lying on the ground immediately regained consciousness from the "coma". One by one, they scrambled and crawled forward, blocking Shen Guang's way, crying and begging loudly: "No! Lord Hou, please be merciful. We are willing to forgive the crime with money and food, and sign the note on the spot now!"
Shen Guang made a look of embarrassment, and looked back at Wang Junlin. The latter's sharp-edged face instantly returned from cloudy to sunny, and said with a smile: "You are indeed worthy of being nobles and gentlemen. The ability is extraordinary. Well, then, Benhou, let me take it easy and give you a chance. You are all famous figures in Jincheng County, and many of them are gentlemen who have read books. How about being rude. How about this? In terms of interest, I will also give you a discount. Anyone who sends a biological son to serve as a soldier next to this Marquis, the interest will be reduced by 20% on the basis of three points. Nephews are also counted. If anyone can send twelve direct relatives and nephews to serve as personal soldiers under my marquis’ account, I won’t charge you any interest, it’s a free loan!”
"Thank you, Marquis!"
"Hou Ye Gong Hou Wan Dai!"
"Hou Ye's kindness today, the grass people will never forget it!"
"Master Hou, you are really a lot of adults..."
All the nobles and big landlords finally saw a glimmer of light from the boundless darkness, and felt faintly that sending a son to work next to this legendary generation of murderous men seemed to be an opportunity to build a relationship with him , one by one's eyes flickered, scrambling to kneel up straight, thanking loudly, and secretly began to calculate in their hearts.
The emphasis is on having more children and more blessings these days. For all the big households in the area, who doesn't take more than a dozen wives and have a lot of sons born out of concubines! Naturally, the son born in the first line was reluctant to take this poisonous general as a hostage. But the sons of the concubines are worried that they can't find a way out, so why not send them to the army to seek a family background? Even if one day he accidentally died in battle, it was his own bad luck, no wonder others, their father didn't even hug them a few times, so of course it doesn't necessarily mean that he loves them too much! But if he could be favored by this poisonous general and be promoted to lieutenant general, wouldn't he have an extremely powerful backer in the territory of Yongzhou. After this incident, even if this murderous man took revenge on the Longxi Li family, the most powerful in Yongzhou is of course the Longxi Li family, and the most powerful are naturally the governor and the marching chief, but there is no doubt What's more, the most unprovoked person is the poisonous general Hou Ye in front of him.
Among the voices of gratitude that were more or less sincere or expected, Wang Junlin's words sounded very clear and cold: "Remember, they are direct sons and nephews. They cannot be distant relatives, and don't even think about it." Let me pretend to be the farmer. If Ben Hou finds out that Li Daitao is stiff, don't blame Ben Hou just to make an example!"
"Don't dare, the grassroots don't dare!"
"Don't dare, my lord, even if the grass people have a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to deceive you!"
"My lord gave the grass people a way to live, and gave the grass people's nephew a chance to make a difference. If we don't know how to be grateful, then, then..."
All the nobles and big landlords shivered in unison, competing to express their opinions. As the saying goes, you can't bear to let your child catch a wolf. Although I was cut off from the idea of finding tenants to replace them, I can leave a few concubine children and grandchildren out, after all, I can reduce the money and interest by more than half. Moreover, although the poisonous general in front of him is not from a powerful family, his abilities are unfathomable. In just over a year, he has changed from a white man to a general of Yingyang Lang of a county with an army of 30,000, and he was personally appointed by His Majesty General Zhenyuan and the county marquis of Jianguo have never lost a battle in more than a year, and everyone in Yongzhou does not know.
My son is mixed in the army, as long as he is not unlucky, he may not die in battle. After three to five years, with the books my son has read and practiced martial arts since he was a child, could it be that he can't compare with those mud-legged people that everyone doesn't know? At that time, I will be indistinguishable from the poisonous general in front of me. I heard that the poisonous general is very protective. In order to protect those poor officials in the capital from being harmed by the family, he even dared to speak harsh words Threatening all the family members, this kind of courage and approach is second to none. In this way, in this Yongzhou, I can walk around swaggeringly again!
"Okay, write down the documents now, and then go back to the cave to select your nephews to keep. As soon as tomorrow dawns, go back and prepare food! After three days, all of them will be sent outside Jincheng, dare you send them to me? Don't kill your nephews, but let your nephews kill you, don't look at me like this, I have this kind of means."
