Chapter 1219
On this day, many people did not sleep well, and many people got up in the middle of the night, took their household registration and rushed to the county seat.

The women in the family grabbed their men and told them: "Don't borrow money so quickly, ask how much the interest is? It really doesn't exceed a hundred coins a month before borrowing, so you can't be cheated."

The man of that family replied: "Don't worry, daughter-in-law, we are going with the village chief, and the village chief said, let others borrow first, and we will go to the village if there are too many borrowers."

The past few days have been very chaotic. Apart from the big guys going to the Yamen to cry about taxes, there are Gao Sanxiong and other county villains who want to spread rumors to disturb the people and buy farmers' properties at a low price. Then there is the new bank It is a matter of lending money at low interest to farmers to pay taxes.

The big guys are most concerned about the new bank. Farmers are more honest and know that going to the Yamen to make a fuss is fruitless, so they all put their hopes on the new bank and have been counting the days until the new bank opens.

Now four days have passed, and today is the fifth day, and it is the opening day of the new bank.

Dangdang Dangdang!
While talking, a gong sounded in the village, and the boy from the village head's family shouted while beating the gong: "Uncle Chang Fu, stop talking, my father told the big guys to gather at the entrance of the village and set off in a quarter of an hour. If you go late, you may be preempted by people from other counties!"

"What? People from other counties want to come? Why should the bank in our county lend money to them?" Chang Fu's daughter-in-law was anxious to hear this, and hurriedly asked the boy of the head of Chang's Village.

"My father said that people in other counties don't have the money to pay taxes. They are all staring at the new bank in our county. They will come to borrow money today, so we have to hurry!"

As for why you should lend money to people in other counties.

"The new bank was opened by Mr. Dou, who came from the capital. He is doing business in all directions. He is not only doing business for our Tianfu County people. He will open a bank in our Tianfu County because he came to buy ham."

"Hey, you have to hurry up." Chang Fu's daughter-in-law didn't dare to say any more, and pushed her man: "Hurry up, follow the village chief, you can do whatever the village chief does, but you have to borrow money Ah, this is our family's life-saving money."

"Hey, I'm leaving right away. It's too chaotic recently, and thieves will come into the village to steal things and sell them to pay taxes. Take care of your home and don't go out." Chang Fu hurriedly carried dry food and water, holding his household registration tightly. , followed the boy from the village head's family to beat the gong and call people all the way to the entrance of the village.

When the people of Changjia Village left the village and got on the official road, my good fellow, they were all torches, and countless torches illuminated the night as brightly as day.

Chang Fu looked forward with the light of the torch, but he couldn't see the end; when he looked backward, he couldn't see the end either.

Chang Fu was very frightened, and said: "There are so many people, we have to run away, I'm afraid we won't be able to borrow any money if we go late."

As soon as this was said, many people who heard it started to run, and people from other villages before and after seeing it also started to run wildly, and they suddenly became chaotic.

Bang bang bang!
A group of people rushed up behind them, beating those who were running with sticks in their hands.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The sound of the gong sounded, and Hong Dao ran back and forth along the official road with the officers and soldiers of the Si Bing Station, shouting loudly: "No one is allowed to run! If anyone dares to run and cause a scene of trampling people to death, no one will be allowed to run!" I want to borrow money!!"

It was after shouting more than a dozen times in a row that the village chief who was running in the front of the village was caught, and after sending soldiers to cut off the road ahead, he stabilized the crowd who had become chaotic due to running.

"You are not allowed to run! Whoever dares to run and cause trouble will not be able to borrow money!!" Hong Dao shouted almost to the point of breaking his voice.

"Don't run, don't run at all, listen to the military master!" The village chiefs and chiefs of these villages also ran out to warn the villagers.

Although the villagers stopped, they were still very worried, and took the opportunity to ask Hong Dao: "Master Jun, I heard that people from other counties will also come to borrow money. We will run away because we want to go to the county bank as soon as possible, so that the money will not be stolen by people from other counties." Someone borrowed it."

He complained again: "Why should the bank in our county lend money to them?"

With a clang, the soldier beside Hong Dao knocked on the gong. After frightening the villagers, Hong Dao said: "The new bank is opened by Dou Shaodong's family and Ouyang's family. They can lend money to whoever they want. But everyone Don't worry, Dou Shaodong's family has already said that they will give priority to lending money to people in Tianfu County. But everyone must line up honestly. If you dare to loot indiscriminately, not only will you not be able to borrow money to pay taxes, but you will also be arrested and jailed in the yamen. Listen clearly ?!"

"Really, Dou Shaodong's family will give us priority in lending money? That's great, don't run away, we must be honest and behave."

After the villagers got the confirmation, they let go of their hearts and rushed to the county town in a line from village to village.

Finally, after driving for three hours, they finally arrived at the county seat at dawn, but the city gate was closed. Lao Yu led Jiang Xiaoqi and Yang Bantou to stop him at the gate, and shouted: "Line up, unpack, inspect You can only enter the city after you register!"

Lao Yu is the oldest person in the Si Bing Institute, and he is the only general banner of the Si Bing Institute, and there is still a vacant position for the general banner. Qin Sanlang already has a candidate, and he will be filled in by someone in the near future The position of the general flag.

Hong Dao looked in the direction of the city gate, he breathed a sigh of relief, good guy, he originally thought that there were enough people on the official road, but he didn't expect that there were more people at the city gate, and a large area was firmly surrounded. I can't see where the city gate is.

What Qin Baihu said was true, today will be a day of chaos, and the villagers who came to borrow money are comparable to the victims of the famine, and they must not relax.

"Line up, put down the weapons that can hurt people, such as knives, guns and sticks, and prepare your household registration. After the officers and soldiers pass the inspection, they will let everyone go to the city to borrow money!" Hong Dao shouted, explaining to the villagers.

"Why is it so troublesome? When will I be able to borrow money from the bank?" Some folks complained, but it is necessary to queue up to enter the city. If they are put into the city at once, the new bank will be destroyed by these people Squeeze it.

"Don't talk nonsense, the first to go first, and those who complain long-windedly will only wait half a day longer than others." Hong Dao said.

After listening to the big guys, they can only line up honestly.

"Songzizhuang Xu Fengzi's family, father, son and grandson went to the city to borrow money. The household registration is correct. There is a fingerprint here. Put down the hatchet and you can enter. When you leave the city, you can pick up the hatchet." Chen Shu, who is in charge of registration. The official said to Xu Feng's son, grandson and grandson, he couldn't help complaining in his heart, why does this farmer like to carry a hatchet so much when he goes out?Do you want to defend yourself or chop a load of firewood to go home?
"Hey, thank you, sir." Xu Fengzi took over the family's household registration, held it tightly, and brought his son and grandson into the city.

The same goes for other folks.

……

Village head He also took his son, grandson, and He Tianwa's family who couldn't pay taxes to the county town to borrow money.

However, they didn't get up in the middle of the night, but got up as usual, took a post from Gu Jin'an to them, and then left the village to meet the Lianghe villagers who were already waiting at the entrance of the village.
