Chapter 116 Occupying Penglai 10
Before Jiang Xue could ask, the old man explained himself:

"Every time I pay off a debt to Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang will write a new IOU and then take back the old one. The previous interest will be included in the principal of the new IOU."

"Then do you have any receipts for your previous debt repayments?" Jiang Xue continued to ask.

"No, Mr. Zhang has never given a receipt." The old man replied, his tone was very low, thinking that he also realized that this matter was very difficult.

"Hurry up and ask the leader to come over." Jiang Xue said to a soldier at the help desk, and the soldier immediately ran towards the city.

"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely solve this matter for you today. We Xinghan League have spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and we won't give up halfway with you." Jiang Xue said to the old man.

After hearing this, the old man calmed down slightly and chatted with Jiang Xue while waiting patiently.

After Liu Xinqi came over, he first listened to Jiang Xue's report.

"It's no wonder that bloodbaths and cleansing are necessary every time a dynasty changes. These gentry have mastered knowledge, and their insight is far greater than that of ordinary people. They do everything seamlessly and are very difficult." Liu Xinqi thought to himself.

"What is this old man's name?" Liu Xinqi asked the old man in a warm voice.

"The villain's surname is Li." The old man replied, not daring to say too much, obviously from the attitudes of everyone at the scene, he felt that Liu Xinqi was a big shot.

"Don't worry, old man Li, I will definitely solve it for you today." Liu Xinqi first comforted the old man, and then said to Jiang Xue, "You have to think outside the box and look at this problem in a different direction."

Jiang Xue made a gesture of listening, and the surrounding people and Xinghan League staff also fell silent.

"Assuming that this IOU is genuine, it means that Mr. Zhang borrowed 34 taels of silver from Old Man Li in February this year. If Old Man Li had not squandered it, then Old Li's family should have 34 taels of silver in cash now. Even if Old Man Li will After all this money has been spent, the fixed assets of the home should be worth 34 taels."

"Go to Old Man Li's house to search first. If you can't find the 34 taels of silver, it means that this IOU is fake, and there is no need to pay it back."

"Let's also assume that Mr. Zhang does not admit that what he gave was cash, but that the money he borrowed was compounded with interest. Then he violated the "Xinghan League Debt Law". You can follow the "Xinghan League Debt Law" and follow the "Xinghan League Debt Law". It’s enough to recalculate the principal and interest for him according to the provisions of the Law.”

After hearing this, Jiang Xue felt that there were many omissions in it, and asked:

"This... Mr. Zhang can say that Old Man Li hid the money, and he can also say that the principal is a lot and the interest is only a little, etc. There are still many excuses that can be used."

Liu Xinqi explained again: "You have said 'excuse' yourself, and what we need is only an excuse. In troubled times, use heavy codes, follow power in a hurry, and don't stick to dogma. We established this "Xinghan League Debt Law" to give the majority Anyone who violates this principle can be flexible. In the final analysis, whoever is stronger is right, and now it is obvious that our Xinghan League is stronger."

"Mr. Zhang has only two options. Either admit his two taels of principal, recalculate the interest, and refund more than he needs to make up for the shortfall. Or he can admit that this IOU is fake and all the past events will be forgotten."

The people who were watching couldn’t help shouting loudly:
"Okay!!, Mr. Qingtian!!"

Then the scene recalled waves of human voices.

"Master Qingtian!!"

"Master Qingtian!!"

……

Liu Xinqi whispered to Jiang Xue: "Do you see, this is the people's support, 'He who wins the people's support wins the world', just do it with confidence and boldness, we will definitely achieve great things."

"Yes, Alliance Leader." Jiang Xue replied.There was obviously more energy in his voice than before, and it seemed that he had realized something.

On the same day, Jiang Xue led a group of soldiers to the village where Old Man Li lived. He first went to check on Old Man Li's house. The real thing was that his family was completely destitute and impoverished.

Then we went to Mr. Zhang's house. Mr. Zhang was very tough at first, saying, "It is only natural to pay back debts." He also said that he was going to report to the government, and organized dozens of thugs and servants to fight against him.Later, he found out that Jiang Xue was an official. After all his servants and thugs were brought down, he had to give in and chose to admit that the IOU was fake, otherwise he would have to pay Old Man Li.

According to the annual interest rate of 15% and compound interest, it will only be 8 or 9 taels of silver in [-] years.

Jiang Xue asked the two of them to sign three declarations of no debt relationship on the spot and let Mr. Zhang go.

The surrounding people who followed to watch the excitement all cheered loudly. Many people complained to Jiang Xue on the spot, and they were busy until dark, but they were not finished.

In the next few days, the results of various cases related to the "Xinghan League Debt Law" quickly spread to the villages in Penglai County, and spread to neighboring counties and further places.

……

Ever since he settled Old Man Li's debt, Liu Xinqi began to receive sporadic notifications from the system that there were new members of the force, sometimes five, sometimes six.

After the force name was changed to "Xinghan League" last time, the system prompt changed from "Add new tribesmen" to "Add new force population".

Until May 23rd,

System prompt: The force population exceeds 1. In the future, if ten people change at once, there will be no notification. You can check it in the force change record column.

Liu Xinqi opened the faction bar, and sure enough, a line of "Record of Power Change" appeared on the top.

Open it and check it, and a line of records of the increase in the population of the force will still pop up from time to time.

"It's much safer now." Liu Xinqi thought to himself. He was very happy when he received the prompts at first, but then they became more and more dense, and it was very noisy. With Liu Xinqi's current attributes, he couldn't hold it anymore.

This wave of population increase is the result of Liu Xinqi's plan. The "Xinghan League Debt Law" is just an appetizer, and the next "Xinghan League Land Law" will be a hard dish. There will definitely be more system prompts. If the system prompts are not improved in time, I will probably be annoyed to death.

On May 25, the first fleet heading south finally returned, and Liu Xinqi led people to Penglai Port to greet them.When we came back this time, the condition of the fleet was much worse than last time. It was also obvious that some of the ships were damaged, but only simple repairs were made.

"What's going on?" Liu Xinqi saw Zhao Liang getting off the boat, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"When we were going south, we encountered strong winds and were unable to reach the shore in advance to take shelter. On our way back, we were robbed by four pirate ships." Zhao Liang replied.

I think it was due to the previous typhoon.

"Are the casualties serious?" Liu Xinqi asked again.

"After encountering strong winds, a county-level (2000 stone, carrying 100 people) sand ship sank while docking. The crew on the ship only rescued 13 people. Another 110 people died while fighting pirates, and more than 200 were injured, so I came back much later this time." Zhao Liang replied.

"Where's the teacher?" Liu Xinqi asked with concern.
