Chapter 413 Locust plague

However, for many villages that are not able to dig big-eye wells and Fangtang, such conditions are too tempting. Nowadays, people ask Liu Peng and Gu Mengyu to be proud of their actions and give their village the opportunity to dig a big-eye well. Next year, they will sell their money and will definitely pay back the money.

As for other forms of loans, there are many. In this year of disaster, as long as you can borrow a loan, you will drink poison to quench your thirst, it is also excellent. At least one more day of life is counted as one day!

Therefore, Liu Peng directly informed Zhaoyuan, Laiyang and Huangxian that the powerful clans and gentry who needed loans were to deal with Xu Jin and Xu Dianshen. Everyone wanted to borrow money from Beihai Money House to invite them to join us for the grand event. If they were timid and afraid, they felt that this was inappropriate, please stay at home as if nothing had happened.

The scene turned out to be more enthusiastic than Liu Peng imagined. Although some gentry were afraid of trouble and hid at home and did not go out, there were more than 2,000 people. Some people did not need to borrow money from the Beihai Money House and also came over to sway the flag and shout for Liu Peng.

As for the reason why they came over, it was naturally because Xu Jin's actions caused public outrage in the entire Dengzhou Prefecture. When is this now!

He Xu Jin and Xu Dianshen also wanted to take advantage of Dengzhou's farmland. This behavior was a hundred times more abominable than killing people and robbing people. Dengzhou people would never agree!

After driving Xu Jin away, Beihai Money House began to issue loans on a large scale. Jiang Qingyue was concerned about this question: "Mistress Mengyu, how much loan can our Longjiang Money House release this time?"

For Beihai Money House, as long as the loan is released, it is profitable. Therefore, these banknotes will be consumed in Gujia Grain Store, Well Dagger Team or other stores in the Longkou system. However, when he repays the loan next year, he must pay with full banknotes. At that time, they will have to bear the double loss of grain price fluctuations. As long as the new grain returns to the normal price next year, Beihai Money House will have at least three or four times the profit.

Even if the new grain will not return to normal prices next year, it is still profitable for Beihai Money House, which can buy a large amount of grain from Liaodong, Huaiyang and Jiangnan. Jiangqingyue roughly estimates that Gu Mengyu's home business has grown exponentially in this wave of disaster.

In the past, the Beishan Gu family could only be regarded as the county of Dengzhou Prefecture. No one recognized the Beishan Gu family after Dengzhou Prefecture. However, now the entire East Three Prefectures rely on Gu Mengyu's Beihai Money House to be barely maintained. Whether it is Laizhou or Qingzhou Prefecture, many wealthy families in the past are now asking Gu Mengyu to borrow food and money every day.

But seeing that the Beihai Money House can make money even while lying, Jiang Qingyue had to fight for the benefits of his Longjiang Money House.

That's right, the money house that Zhucheng Zhangjia and Jiangjia jointly operated by the money house, the name "Longjiang Money Village", was named "Longjiang Money Village". The reason why we wanted to give this name is naturally to let everyone know that the backend of the Longjiang Money Village is Longkou Jiangjia.

Although the head of Longjiang Money House is Zhang Yihe, the Jiang family is also the major shareholder of Longjiang Money House. Without the support of Jiang Haotian and Jiang Qingyue, Longjiang Money House would not be able to open. However, although Longjiang Money House made a lot of money this year, it was even worse than Beihai Money House. Therefore, Jiang Qingyue must strive for benefits for Longjiang Money House.

But Gu Mengyu did not give a clear answer. She just said, "You have to ask Brother Liu Peng about this. Brother Liu Peng said that Longkou Money House can lend more money. I promised Longjiang Money House to lend more money. Brother Liu Peng, how do you think you should reward Sister Qingyue?"

Although Longjiang Money House is not small, its overall business is completely attached to Beihai Money House. In particular, the debugging and lending of capital positions almost relies on Beihai Money House. Even if there are no money tickets and money tickets issued independently, they receive the money tickets from Beihai Money House. The money tickets are stamped with the words "Longjiang". Therefore, until now, Beihai Money House has not let go, and the business of Longjiang Money House has been greatly restricted.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but turn her attention to Liu Peng. When Liu Peng saw them arguing about the money house, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Stop making trouble. Money houses have business. I'm afraid that Longjiang Money House will be too busy in the future... Alas, although this way, it's the fastest to make money, but I would rather be a fair person in this world."

Jiang Qingyue has been to Laiyang County several times, and she has no idea how many tragedies in the world with her own eyes. If she is heartless, she is also mixed with emotion at this moment: "Yes, a century-old drought is so painful for the people! What Brother Liu Peng means is that the real difficulty is still coming?"

Jiang Qingyue knew that for Shandong people in July, their all hope was the crops that were sown in summer. For this round of cuckoo planting, they not only took out the food, but also mortgaged the houses and fields to buy the seeds planted in cuckoo. However, Liu Peng has reminded her and Gu Mengyu more than once that the real disaster is still to come.

When he thought of that terrifying scene, Jiang Qingyue didn’t have the intention to care about Gu Mengyu. What if Longjiang Money House earned less!

Gu Mengyu has been staying in Huang County and Longkou, and the farthest is to go to Dongliang Inspection Office and Penglai County, so he has no clear understanding of the real disaster: "Brother Liu Peng, I also hope that my wife is ordinary, but I also hope to make more money."

"Stop talking!" Jiang Qingyue snatched the words without hesitation: "Sister Mengyu, we can just listen to Brother Liu Peng's for some things. If you really have something to say, just scream in bed at night, don't cover your mouth."

Although Gu Mengyu and Liu Peng are already considered old couples, and know that Jiang Qingyue knows all this, Jiang Qingyue still told the truth that she often secretly searched for fun with Liu Peng. Now her face is flushed and she dare not say more.

But she knew that Jiang Qingyue’s words really meant “everything is listened to men”, so she just asked: “But it has rained now, will there still be locust plagues?”

Gu Mengyu has questions about this. This year is indeed a severe drought that has not been encountered in a century. However, after June, there was a rainy rain after a long drought. It was precisely because of this good rain that Shandong farmers carried out a round of rushing for planting after summer grain was extinct. This is also the entire hope of Shandong farmers.

But Liu Peng shook his head and said, "It will not be a locust plague just because of a severe drought. It must rain after a severe drought before there will be a locust plague. This year's locust plague may be..."

As soon as he said this, a rush of footsteps came from outside, and then Nie Yuan said anxiously: "Young Master Liu, Mr. Liu, Dongchang Prefecture urgently reported that a locust plague broke out in Dongchang Prefecture, and locusts covered the sky and the sun. There were also locusts passing through Jinan Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture..."

Gu Mengyu knew that Liu Peng had always been aware of things, and that this year's severe drought was asked by Bixia Yuanjun to him, so many details were extremely accurate, but she never dreamed that Liu Peng would probably even have such accurate results in the outbreak of locusts.

She couldn't help but feel stunned: "Brother Liu Peng, will it be a disaster for our family?"

Liu Peng sighed: "No, it is our family's chance to get rich, the best chance to get rich, but..."

Liu Peng slowed down and continued: "In this world, there are two times when it is easy to get rich, one is when the country is founded, and the other is when the country is destroyed."

Liu Peng expressed the words in his memory based on his impression: "When the country was founded, it became rich slowly, and when the country was destroyed, it became rich quickly."

"Get rich!"

The person who said this was Prince Heng, who was usually arrogant, but this Prince Heng, who looked stern, looked very stern, now had a look of joy, and his fat face was filled with laughter: "It's a God-given opportunity. Liu Xiaozi never dreamed that God would give us such a good opportunity. As long as our Prince Heng Mansion made this ticket, it would be worth it even if we didn't collect a grain of grain for ten or eight years."

The country is the fastest to make money when it is destroyed. For the Hengwang Mansion, the number one landlord in Qingzhou Prefecture, the more serious the disaster is, the greater the benefits they will get.

In the past few decades and even hundreds of years, the Heng Palace has been constantly taking advantage of the plunder of grain, and every year it has been stored in the granary. In this time and space, these grains are difficult to convert into commercial grain, but are constantly piled up one granary after another. Therefore, in the entire Heng Palace of the East Three Prefectures, if they have the second largest amount of grain reserves, no one dares to say that they are the first.

Even if it is a prefecture warehouse like Fengcang, it is not worth mentioning when compared with the stored grain of the Hengwang Mansion. Only by adding up the prefecture warehouses, reserve warehouses, and prefecture warehouses of the East Three Prefectures can it be compared with Hengwang Mansion.

Now that the locust plague is ripped off, the granaries of the Heng Palace have become mountains of gold and silver. King Heng's face is now slight, while Zhou Duda, who is beside him, smiles and compliments: "Old Prince, I said, "Time comes to run. Although our Heng Palace has 3,000 taels of silver, there will definitely be some one day of operation. Do you think this is the case now?"

Yes! Yes! The Heng Palace has not developed very smoothly in the past two or three years. From the "History of the Death of Dengzhou" that emerged from somewhere, the Heng Palace has inexplicably gone downhill, and he will be beaten to the point where he walks on the road. Prince Heng calculated roughly that the Heng Palace has lost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in the past two years. If he is pessimistic, he may have lost more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Now, now, with such a locust plague, the lost silver and gold can be earned back ten times a hundred times!

Seeing Prince Heng so happy, Zheng Qisheng on the opposite side quickly added: "Old Master should be careful, be careful, be careful, and don't be careless and lose Jingzhou."

Prince Heng was in a bad mood and accepted Zheng Qisheng's suggestion: "I know, be careful, be careful, you can't learn from Xu Jin's dog eunuch. I really didn't expect this dog eunuch to be so useless. I took the lead before the war started!"
