The new emperor Li Sheng ascended the throne and a conventional amnesty for the world. Although the transportation was not so developed in the feudal era, Chang'an City felt the new emperor's kindness that day and began to celebrate.

When Li Sheng ascended the throne, he took out a huge amount of gold and silver from the warehouse in the palace. All the people in the capital of Chang'an, whether infants or old, can get one or two silver. Don't underestimate the purchasing power of one or two silver. You should know that in the current Tang Dynasty, one or two silver is enough to make a family of three live for half a month.

The silver was not distributed through officials such as the Ministry of Revenue. After all, Li Sheng was not stupid. He knew how many borers were upstream and downstream of the Ministry of Revenue. Today, only one thousand people were left to guard the palace. The rest brought various lists, starting from the residents of Chang'an, and distributed them from door to door.

As soon as this incident happened, people everywhere bowed to the palace and thanked people. The slums in the west of the city were distributed here. Many beggars, homeless men, or ordinary people who had been here due to various hardships were even more grateful.

In front of an ordinary shanty town where the family of four gathered, a young man excitedly knelt down and thanked the emperor for his kindness, then turned around and shouted to the left and right, "Father, mother, we have money to hire a doctor for Yan'er."

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. Wang's father, Wang Tiexing, is also a professional blacksmith. He relies on his skills to make a living and keep a family of comfort.

Such a beautiful life was because of his youngest daughter Wang Yan's serious illness and she lost everything.

Not to mention that the ancestral house had been sold long ago, Wang Tiexun still owed a lot of foreign debts. He was tired and sick a few days ago to pay off the debt. Fortunately, Wang Tiexun was too tired and worked hard to get sick. He could recover with just a little rest and recuperate for one or two days.

Wang Yan's illness is troublesome. It has not improved so far and is almost terminally ill.

Her illness is for modern people in the 21st century to be seen. It is not terrible. The high fever caused by tetanus cannot subside. Modern people are in the society of the unscrupulous era. They can be solved with just a few injections. However, in ancient times, this could make countless frontline soldiers afraid of serious illnesses, and countless famous doctors helpless.

Of course, symptoms such as high fever caused by tetanus are not necessarily mortality. The Wang family also decided to fight for it by selling houses and borrowing loans.

"The emperor's kindness is so great. If Yan'er can improve, you must remember, who gave us our lives? Hurry up, I'll invite Dr. Li immediately, you can take care of Yan'er at home."

Wang Yan's tetanus is a tragedy, it's nothing more than when she was playing outside, she shocked a beloved horse from the daughter of the Earl's Mansion. The other party just cut Wang Yan with one knife, although she was not dead...

Tetanus came out afterwards.

To the daughter of the Earl's Mansion? Wang Tiexin, the pillar of the Wang family, was just a little blacksmith. He didn't dare to pursue any responsibility. He didn't dare to sue him or her. He endured everything and went bankrupt to save his daughter.

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

After Wang Tiexing left, Wang Peizhong was excited to wait. After only a stick of incense had passed, the little boy's face changed drastically, and he looked at the figures walking in front of him with vigilance.

A young man in front of him laughed, "Ergou, today the new emperor ascended the throne to benefit all the people, your family is also worth four taels of silver, right? Should I change the debt I owe you Mr. Liu?"

Wang Peizhong was timid and still showed a flattering smile, "Mr. Liu, isn't this the agreed date for repayment of debts yet? My sister is currently at a critical moment..."

The young man Liu, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was a loan maker in the civilian area in the east of the city. He heard that the background was very thick and he was walking under a large noble mansion.

To be reasonable, it is natural to pay back debts.

But the two taels of silver they borrowed from Mr. Liu agreed on a one-month period, which is only six days today.

As long as he slows down, his father will go to work in the blacksmith shop again. Wang Peizhong can also help. If he works harder, he will still have hope of paying it back. The family of three can only pay one tael of silver to take care of half a month's expenses. As a blacksmith with very good skills, Wang Tiexun’s salary is not too low, and he can basically get three taels a month.

Queen Mother can also work as a female worker to earn some subsidies, and Wang Peizhong is also growing.

Their Wang family borrowed not only Mr. Liu. Some of their relatives, friends, Wang Tiexun’s colleagues, etc., borrowed some of them, but they used too many precious medicinal materials to save their sister who had been suffering from high fever for several days.

All the old houses have been sold, you can imagine how much investment has been made. After all, this is Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire. Even the old houses in civilian areas are of great value. I heard that if a minister who is an honest official and transferred from another place to Chang'an to work, he can't afford an ordinary house and can only rent it.

Of course, this is only targeted at honest ministers, greed and bribery people, and is definitely not listed here.

While laughing and pleading with him, Wang Peizhong reluctantly took out ten cents of copper coins, "Mr. Liu, please bear with me..."

Mr. Liu didn't even look at the ten cents, and grinned and said, "The agreed time has not come. It's just that I seriously doubt your ability to repay debts. Take out four taels of silver and I will turn around and leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being ruthless and being ruthless."

Wang Peizhong was shocked again, "Master Liu, this..."

Even if the agreed date of bad debt is reached, it is impossible to have four taels. He knew that lenders like Mr. Liu were lending usury, and the annual interest rate was generally 100%.

Emperor Tang was kind and had long issued the corresponding laws. The annual interest rate for private lending should not exceed 30%. However, during the ruling process, officials at all levels were supervising the market. The most active lenders in the people were all lackeys of such high-ranking officials and nobles... You can imagine that Emperor Tang's law obviously wanted to make the senior officials and nobles less profitable. This is "competing for profit with the people". How could they agree?

The annual interest rate is 100% which is already an ordinary market. As a teenager in the capital, Wang Peizhong has occasionally heard that some guys in some other cities are even more crazy. The annual interest rate is recalculated in the principal and will be maintained at 100% next time.

That is to say, if you borrow ten taels, you have to pay back 20 taels when you expire in one year, and you have no money? Then the next year, you will be calculated at 20 taels to return 40 taels when you expire. If you have no money, you will get eighty taels when you are in the third year.

The Wang family knows that the terrible loan sharks can easily cheat normal people who spend their money and sell their children. However, aren’t they borrowing monthly interest? A month’s loan cannot be 100% so crazy.

Nine out and thirteen return.

They actually borrowed one or eight ounces of coins and returned two or six ounces of coins afterwards.

After being shocked, he did not dare to resist. Wang Peizhong knelt down and kowtowed, "Master Liu, please give up a little. I feel sorry for our family. My sister is counting on these four taels of silver to help her life."

Mr. Liu laughed loudly, "I pity you, then who will pity me? But it's not impossible for you to postpone it. Let's do this. I'll let you wait for more than 20 days to pay off your debt."

Amid the laughter, he took out a contract for selling his body.

It is of course nonsense to say that Wang's ability to repay debts is questioned. Wang Tiexun is skilled and famous, otherwise how could he have a high salary? He is a normal operation and takes advantage of the situation to rob and take advantage of the situation and wants the Wang family father and son to sign a contract to sell their bodies, be a slave and a servant, and work for him for the rest of his life.
