Chapter 336 Wang Daqiang’s tragic and joyful experiences
It’s already the end of the first lunar month.

The side of an official road on East and West Road in Beijing was crowded with workers coming to collect their wages.

With the arrival of spring, the busy farming season is approaching.

All road construction work has stopped.

Everyone was liberated.

After receiving the completion money, they went to Dengzhou and Laizhou to pan for gold.

At this time, Wang Daqiang was not among the people lining up to receive money.

He and dozens of co-workers are now lying on the ground, tied with ropes.

The officers and soldiers on horseback walked past them.

The general on horseback, holding a leather whip, cursed at them: "These damn talents, they owe money to the officials, how dare they run away?!"

"Do you really think the Sa family's tricks are blind?"

Wang Daqiang lay on the ground and sighed.

He doesn't want to run either!

But the money owed is too much!
A total of twenty strings!There is still [-]% interest!

"Why can't I control my hands..." Wang Daqiang was extremely frustrated.

He had made a lot of money.

Building roads for government officials cost one hundred yuan a day. After deducting food, you can save at least seventy or eighty yuan a day.

At least two thousand dollars a month!
Even if he just visits those hook bars every three to five days, he still has one more month left.

But he loves gambling!

As soon as you go to the gambling table, you don't remember your name, and as soon as you grab the dice, you don't know your depth.

Although the fun is small, it can't stop the addiction!

If you lose all your wages, go borrow it.

The official who specializes in lending money at the construction site is very talkative.

Consistently, as long as he opened his mouth and was willing to sign his name, I lent it to him directly.

So, I borrowed twenty strings out of nowhere!
I thought there were so many people building roads.

Where do people who lend money remember it?
Moreover, there are so many people borrowing money. If we all run together, as long as we go to Dengzhou and enter the mountains and forests, who will be able to find it?
Who would have imagined that those who lend money are actually in partnership with the Forbidden Army.

Moreover, those damn imperial cavalry also kept vicious dogs in the camp.

Those vicious dogs have been trained to smell the scent of poor people like them who owe money.

But everyone was kept in the dark, so when they ran away with the bucket in the dark at night, they were caught by the Imperial Guards patrolling with vicious dogs!

Even if they fled in all directions, they couldn't outrun the four-legged cavalry.

Everyone was arrested.

However, Wang Daqiang was right.

After he was caught, he did not resist and allowed the imperial guards to tie him up.

Then he pretended to be dead on the ground.

It doesn’t cost money—it costs a life!
Anyway, no one in this place in western Beijing knows his details.

He didn't believe it. These officers and soldiers still dared to kill people?
The general on the horse looked at the ruffians all over the place with their mouths closed and silent.

He sneered and said: "It is only natural to pay back debts!"

"Now, I'll give you three ways..."

"First: pay back the money! Once you pay the money, you can leave!" Behind him, a row of tables had been set up, with clerks sitting in front of the tables.

In front of these clerks, there were thick piles of documents, all of which were loan documents signed by them.

The words written in black and white cannot be denied.

What's even worse is that these people are clearly the same people who originally lent money to people like Wang Daqiang.

I deal with Wang Daqiang and others every day, no one can deny it!
Everyone drooped their heads.

Wang Daqiang also broke the pot, and he simply shouted: "Tiha, I have no money..."

Others immediately started shouting: "Go back to Tiha, I don't have any money!"

"Me too!"

Anyway, there were no laws against selling oneself into slavery in the Song Dynasty.

They are such hot-blooded people, but they have never revealed the details of their families.

No matter how ferocious the officers and soldiers are, there is no point in giving them a whip.

Is it possible that we can still kill them?
Wang Daqiang grew up in Bianjing!
He naturally knew that it might be fine if the Qiu Ba people beat one or two people to death in private.

But if dozens or hundreds of people were beaten to death or disabled with a single whip, that would be a big deal!
It will attract the crows from Yushitai!
"Hehe!" The general waved his whip: "Can't pay back? It's easy!"

"Just choose the other two paths!"

"Or, go to Xihe Road..." The general said with a grin: "Xihe is currently short of people to farm the land. The boss will provide food and accommodation, and pay five guan of wages a year!"

"You just need to sign for the relevant period of time, and the Sa family will send someone to take you to Xihe!"

"After completing my term of service, I will naturally be able to pay off my official debt with interest!"

Wang Daqiang's eyes widened as he listened.

Five goals in one year?Only three to five hundred yuan a month?Or in a place like Xihe? !

Has your heart been eaten by a dog?

But he didn't dare to say it after all.

The general waved his whip again: "The second way is to Guangxi. There is a lot of gold in Guangyuan Prefecture of Jiaozhi!"

"When you mine gold, you can exchange it for money and silk to pay off your debts!"

Wang Daqiang listened, rolled his eyes, and immediately raised his head and shouted: "Tiha, can you let the villain go to Dengzhou to mine gold to pay off the debt?"

"What a beautiful idea!" the general scolded: "Climbing the state to mine gold is a favor given by the officials to the kind people!"

"You scoundrels, don't even think about it!"

In fact, it was because the superiors had given a reward.

If these scoundrels are willing to pay back the money, then half of the interest will be the reward for him and his soldiers.

Otherwise, how could they be so active?How could he be so alert?

Every time they catch a rogue who owes money and pays back the money, they get half of the interest!

Naturally, everyone’s eyes widened from top to bottom!

These days, I work shifts at night.

Even the vicious dogs raised at home were used to keep an eye on these rogues.

This is the death of man and money!
And the profit sharing of interest is just the beginning.

The real point is at the back - for every person who goes to Xihe, he will be rewarded with two coins!And every time someone goes to Guangxi, it’s even more serious!
Five Guans per person!

With such a heavy reward, how could the Imperial Guards responsible for guarding the place not fight tooth and nail?

For the sake of money, this forbidden army, which was originally a subordinate army, has shown an efficiency, vigilance and subjective initiative comparable to the elite of the Western Army in these days.

Therefore, no scoundrel in debt can escape their clutches!
Seeing these rogues, he said nothing.

The general rolled his eyes and said to them: "So that you guys know..."

"The benevolent emperor of today has promised you so much grace!"

"If you are willing to go south and go gold prospecting in Guangyuan Prefecture... After arriving there, everyone can get a number plate from the local government. Starting from the day you get the number plate, you can go to the local mountains and forests and spend a day delineating the territory. !”

"As long as no one lives in the enclosed area, then everything there belongs to you!"

"Whether it's gold in the ground or land on the ground, it's all your property!"

"The government is willing to register and fix your property for you!"

Then, everyone raised their heads.

One day?Decide a place for us?
Be it gold or land, give it all to us?

Even though these people are rogues, the talents in their genes have also been activated.

Wang Daqiang was even more thinking: "My mother! In one day, all the land enclosed belongs to me?"

He recalled his experience of gold panning in Dengzhou last winter.

Dozens of people guard a forest together with him, and even if there is gold, it is often dug away by others in advance!
Now, can he have a piece of land of his own, a gold mining holy land that belongs to him alone?
He's crazy!
Immediately asked: "Are you organized?"

When the general saw the business coming to his door, he immediately grinned: "Of course?"

Even his tone became gentler: "Is your Majesty willing to get to know me?"

Wang Daqiang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

The general suddenly smiled brightly and said to his left and right: "Why don't you quickly untie the heroes?"

This is the God of Wealth!

Not just a reward of five guans, but also half of the interest on his debt!
Can't you serve him well? Can't you wrong him?

As a result, Wang Daqiang was immediately helped up by two forbidden soldiers.

They immediately untied Wang Daqiang, and someone even brought a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Hero, please have some tea!"

Wang Daqiang took the tea in a daze and took a sip.

A piece of paper filled with articles was handed to him, and he asked thoughtfully: "Can a hero read? Do you need us to introduce him to him?"

Wang Daqiang shook his head: "I have read books!"

"My husband even praised me back then that I could take the exam to be a scholar!"

The truth is - he praised his classmates.

However, he does know how to read, at least he can recognize the basic characters.

So it looked coherent.

List them down one by one.

The main content is probably - if he voluntarily signs for custody to Guihua Prefecture, Shun'an Prefecture, Guangyuan Prefecture, Silang Prefecture and other places.

Then the emperor extended his favor and granted him grace.

After arriving at the local area, he can first choose an uninhabited place. As long as no one competes with him, he can apply to the local government. Under the witness of the local government, he can use one day to delineate a piece of land by walking. .

As long as he lives in that place for five years, he can completely own everything in that place and get the government's land deed after five years!

At the same time, during these five years, as long as he has been living there, no one else can enter his place without permission.

The main content is roughly the same.

Wang Daqiang's mind was buzzing after reading it.

Is there such a good thing?

So, he was led in a daze to the officials and signed a document voluntarily going to Guangxi to guard the border. He also renewed a loan deed for 24 guan with an annual interest of two cents. He also signed the government's provision for him. The documents of the ten-guan interest-free home loan and the ten-guan iron loan, as well as the most important deed of voluntarily selling the mined gold, silver, and all other output to the government at market prices.

So he inexplicably fell into debt again.

A few days later, he and others who signed the relevant documents were sent to the Yellow River.

There, they boarded a boat—of course they borrowed the money for the boat.

All food, drink and accommodation along the way will be deducted from the loan they signed.

When Wang Daqiang and others boarded the ship.

Song Yongchen was riding a horse on the embankment, watching from a distance hundreds of rogues being escorted onto the boat.

"They all meet the standards, right?" Song Yongchen asked the people around him.

"The escort team is naturally all carefully selected young and strong men. Each one is over five feet six inches tall and under thirty years old. There has never been anyone injured or injured on the construction site!"

Song Yongchen nodded.

Going south to Guangxi, the mountains are high and the roads are long, so it is natural to choose someone who is strong and healthy.

Therefore, Wang Daqiang and others actually thought that they were able to borrow money because of their good popularity.

In fact, they are all screened.

Age, height, health...all were screened.

Otherwise, how could they borrow money again and again?
And others can only borrow one or two Guan at most?
So, Song Yongchen tightened the reins and said: "When this matter is over, we can return to Beijing to report on our work!"

He looked in the direction of Bianjing City: "Our family has already recorded your merits! When we return to the capital, we will all be rewarded!"

Everyone laughed immediately.

This time, following Song Yongchen out on errands, each of them gained a lot.

Not just in terms of money!

What’s more important is the way to make money!
This Song Yaban personally taught everyone the ways to make money that dazzled them.

Quietly, he not only plundered all the money from the pockets of the bosses on the construction site, but also made them grateful.

Even the pockets of the Imperial Guards who followed had their pockets picked out.

Simply amazing!

Everyone feels deeply that following Song Yaban to Jingdong and Hebei this time has really benefited a lot!
If I can achieve anything in the future, I will definitely have to thank my experiences in Hebei and Jingdong this winter!

So, everyone said one after another: "We are all here to take charge of the command and strategize, we are just waiting for the occasion!"

Song Yongchen smiled and said nothing more.

But in his heart, he himself was shocked by what he had done in the past three months!
Because he had calculated that in the past winter, dredging and building roads had cost a lot.

But the income is also countless!
Although it was impossible to break even, most of the money spent eventually returned to his hands.

Incredible!

When he returns to Bianjing, he has to sum up his experience!
