Chapter 187
Yang Reform lit the paper with a magnifying glass under the sun. He was so happy that he carefully held the magnifying glass in his hand and played with it.

After playing for a while, I found it boring, so I carefully put it away and let Wang Chengen keep it safe.I will still have great use in the future.

Wang Chengen saw that the emperor was "playing" happily, so he didn't disturb the emperor. When the emperor was tired from playing and asked him to keep this magical object, he said: "His Majesty, Li Ruolian, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, has something to see."

"Li Ruolian? That's the one? Oh, I remembered, see you, see you right away." Yang Reform remembered that he asked this guy to give loan sharks, and he didn't know what he did.If this guy hadn't come to see me, I wouldn't have forgotten him in that corner.

"As ordered, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed.

Li Ruolian was in charge of the errand entrusted to him by the emperor. It has been more than a month. I thought the emperor would summon him in a month and ask him about loan sharks, but obviously, there are many things this month, and the emperor has no time to summon him. , Li Ruolian had to wait for several days, and finally came to see the emperor on a day when he felt that the emperor might not be that busy.

In the warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

Li Ruolian, an official the size of a sesame seed, was very cautious, for fear that he would make some wrong mistakes, which would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction and lose his job.

"The humble minister Li Ruolian kowtows to see my emperor, long live long live long live long live."

"Calm down, Li Ruolian, it's been a month since the usury was released, what's the result?" Some time ago, Yang Reform felt that there was a lot to be done about the loan usury, so he specially asked the eunuch who committed the crime, Li Weiren, to release the usury, Let this look good to me, and see the very clever Jin Yiwei become a "bodyguard", specializing in collecting bills. If you want to use Jin Yiwei to collect the bills, who would dare not pay it back?Yang Reform is looking forward to the results of this usury release.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I received a total of 60 taels of silver, and I gave it to Li Weiren's six people. After the six of them received the silver from the humble minister, they all went around to release usury money, but they were greedy early in the morning and late at night. They also released it. Quite a lot, according to the statistics of January, this month, a total of more than 40 taels of silver were released. There are also, so, all kinds of things, according to the statistics of Weichen, they earned a total of 5000 taels of silver." Li Ruolian couldn't help recalling what he had recited these days, you said he is a martial arts scholar, planning, doing arithmetic, what is it, But for the sake of the emperor's mission, he had to bite the bullet and figure out the account.

Yang Reform also calculated his own bill in his mind, 60 taels, only 40 taels were released, and it was not released for a full month. Some only took a few days, and some were only ten days long. It's only less than 5000 taels, this profit doesn't seem to be very impressive!Not even a one percent profit.If the 60 taels are left for a year, there will only be 6 to [-] taels of silver.This speed of making money seems not to be strong.

"Big companion, are those guys in charge of lending loan sharks here?" Yang Reform wanted to ask what was going on.Didn't it say that there is a 20.00% profit?How can there be less than [-]% profit now? This is a bit far away.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we're here, we're all here, and we're all waiting outside." Wang Chengen quickly agreed.

"Well, then let them come in. The one-month period is up, and it's time to evaluate the results." Yang Reform hated the rats who stole his money. , decided to let them put loan sharks, if they can't put loan sharks well, then there is no need to play this game.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

Li Weiren and the others felt uneasy. Under the leadership of the young eunuch, they entered the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace. The few of them were still wearing the clothes of the great eunuch in the palace. Woolen cloth.

"My servant kowtows to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Several people kowtowed in unison, which was obviously very neat, as if they had been trained for years.

"Li Weiren, I see that your results are not ideal! I originally thought that there would be a two-point profit, but I didn't expect that after 60 yuan was released, the profit would be less than 5000 taels in a month. In this way, I can I’m not interested in lending loan sharks anymore, and if I don’t release loan sharks, I don’t need you!” Yang Reform really doesn’t like the interest of thousands of cars in this area.I feel that I may have taken it for granted, and I have taken too much profit from usury.

The faces of Li Weiren and the others changed drastically immediately, and they kowtowed unceasingly, begging the emperor for mercy.

"Report to Your Majesty, the servants go out to release usury every day before dawn, and there is never a single day of laziness! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" The mouse group headed by Li Weiren began to cry and beg for mercy.

Yang Reform's kindness was not indiscriminate. He said, "Want to live? I never raise useless people. Do you think I have any reason not to kill you?" Yang Reform's patience was due to his good mood today. It's a bit thicker, if according to the mood and plan a month ago, these people can't make money for themselves, I probably don't have the mood to look at them.

Li Weiren wept, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, and please listen to your servants. This month, your servants lost their assignments in the palace, so at the beginning, many people were afraid of things and did not dare to come to them to give money. The business of your servants is not good. Many, slaves have to keep the interest rate lower and lower, so this month, firstly, the profit is relatively small, and secondly, it will take time to reopen the pier. Your majesty also asks your majesty to give slaves some time. Next month , No, this month, the servants must roll the interest to more than two cents, so as not to disappoint His Majesty, and please give the servants a chance..." Li Weiren was crying, his face was ugly, and there were no regulations in his words, which were completely truthful and Words of begging for mercy.

Yang Reform somewhat agrees with Li Weiren's reasons.To put it bluntly, it's barely reliable.Yang Reform nodded, and said: "Well, what you said is reasonable, but, as I said before, I will give him a chance if he completes well, and I will not support those who do not complete well. Use, Li Ruolian, report their results, and take 10 taels of silver to see how much each of them earns." Although Yang Reform somewhat agrees with Li Weiren's reasons, he is not prepared to spare this group of people who stole his money lightly. Oh mouse, if a few mice die, the other mice in the palace will feel the pressure and their hands and feet will be cleaner.

Li Ruolian got the emperor's order and began to report the achievements of these six people to the emperor. "Report to Your Majesty, Li Weiren, 500 taels; XX, 200 taels; XX, 800 taels; XX, 500 taels; XX, 400 taels; Zhang Degui, 300 taels." personal profit.A total of less than 5000 taels.

After hearing the report, Yang Reform said, "That's right, Li Weiren, I didn't see that your ability to lend usury is quite strong! You can get 500 taels, which is not far from the profit of two points!"

"I don't dare, I don't dare, my servant only wants to do things for His Majesty." Li Weiren quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Hehe, well, you are the tallest, don't be afraid, I will not do anything to you, I said before, this game is to eliminate people, the last one, let's get out, next month, it will be you The top five continue to play this game..."

Some people on the ground listened to the emperor's words, and immediately collapsed to the ground, so they don't need to put usury by themselves?Doesn't that mean I'm useless?The emperor said that if you never support useless people, you are letting yourself die!Thinking of this, I was paralyzed with fright, and fell to the ground. This time it was really over, and I didn't dare to cry, so I could only sob.

Although the other five people were glad that they were fine this month, they also felt sad. The last person to die this month, what about next month?What about next month?There are only six people at most here, and they can play for up to six months. Thinking of this, I felt a burst of sadness.

Yang Reform didn't care what these people on the ground thought. Since he dared to steal his own money, he should kill them himself.Continued: "... In order to reward those who made more profits, in this way, it is still the 60 taels, and the one who made the most profit will get 5 taels more. The 5 taels will be paid from No.5. No.5 this The monthly money is only 5 taels. No. 2 gets 12 taels, and the money is still taken from the bottom No. 3. That’s it, this game, continue this month, and the rules are still the same as before.” Yang Reform I plan to end this matter. This matter is too far from my original wish. I feel boring and plan to stop playing.

After hearing the emperor's arrangement, the faces of the two people behind were ashen, especially No.5, who only had 5 taels of silver to put loan sharks this month. The pressure can be imagined. Next month, it is basically certain that I will It's certain to die, and it's inevitable that a basin of cold water will be poured on the head in the winter, and it will be completely cool.

Yang Reform impatiently said to Wang Chengen: "Okay, companion, let's send them out." Immediately, a few guards came around, ready to drag the last one out, and there was a click.

The few people on the ground didn't even have the desire to cry.The emperor's game is really not fun!
Li Ruolian stood there, thinking over and over again, thinking that he still had to win, use the chance that he finally got the emperor's appreciation, could see the emperor's face, and be able to do things for the emperor, to perform well in front of the emperor, to do a good job for himself Bo Yibo, since I used loan sharks to get into the eyes of the emperor and run errands for the emperor, then I can't let the loan sharks go to waste, so I have to make this business of loan sharks bigger and stronger. In this way, Only in this way can the emperor trust him and take a high look at him, otherwise, after this loan shark game is over, why don't he go back and forth from where?Wouldn't that be too much of a waste of expression?It will give the emperor a consequence of ineffectiveness.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Li Ruolian summoned up great courage, and finally choked out the words that had been kept in her chest.

Yang Reform looked at Li Ruolian in surprise, what does this hundred household have to say?But I still have a good impression of this person, there should be something wrong, otherwise, I wouldn't tell myself something wrong for no reason.If you molested the emperor, the consequences would be serious.

"Oh? Hehe, Li Ruolian, what's the matter with you?"

Li Ruolian was very nervous, knowing that if his words could not impress the emperor, then his future would be ruined.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty not to anger these people for the time being. After listening to what I have said, let me carefully calculate the accounts. I think it will definitely impress Your Majesty." Li Ruolian let go of her courage, Began to "fool" the emperor.

Yang Reform took a look, this guy he liked, actually made such a move to himself, and dared to intercede for these people.It's interesting, I'm really in a good mood today, let's see what he said, if it makes sense, if I can convince myself, I might as well give him some face or something.

"Oh? Hehe, it's interesting. How about this, Li Ruolian, then you can do the math and see if you can impress me. If you can impress me, it's not impossible for me to look at you differently."

Li Ruolian tried her best to pretend to be calm, but the sweat on her forehead was still pouring out, and her legs were also trembling.Success, wealth, here is a fight.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I thought that although the profits of these six people this month were not as good as His Majesty wanted, the last Zhang Degui only made a profit of 300 taels this month. However, I carefully analyzed the reasons for this. Weichen felt that the reason why there were so few had something to do with the fact that everyone was afraid of getting involved with them at the beginning. At the beginning, there were rumors that were not good for them. In the first half a month, no one dared to ask them to borrow money. , Everyone found that these people were not in any serious trouble, they still ate every day and went out to put money, so they relaxed their vigilance, and started to borrow money from them, and only then did they get a little credit..." After Li Ruolian began to analyze, she completely Now that I have devoted myself to my own "planning", I am no longer nervous, and my legs are no longer trembling.

Yang Reform listened and felt that there was some truth to it. According to what he said, it would not be too bad to have a profit of nearly [-]% in half a month.

"...Wei Chen thought that although these six people made a meager profit in the first month, they will definitely reap a lot in the next month. Take Zhang Degui as an example. Although he only made a profit of 300 taels this month, but recently However, his 10 taels of silver have been released, and it is a long-term loan. Presumably, next month's profit will be several times that of this month. Please be aware of it and give them a chance." Li Ruolian Regardless of the danger of offending and offending the emperor, he said these words and pleaded for these people, especially for Zhang Degui.What for?The reason is actually very simple, because Li Ruolian discovered that the emperor's "game" can only be played for six months. After six months, those people are all dead, and the game is over. It's over too?After finally connecting with the emperor, he just disappeared?The emperor was dissatisfied with this matter and was about to give up on it. It was related to his own future. If he could handle this matter well, satisfy the emperor and get money for the emperor, then the emperor would definitely not give up on this matter. "Game", this game will continue to play, and my errands will not end. If I can meet the emperor frequently, have a place in the emperor's heart, and more importantly, if I can get money for the emperor, then I will In the future, it will be no problem at all!

Hearing Li Ruolian's reasoning, Yang Reform also became a little interested. He didn't release a tael of silver in the first half month, but he borrowed it in large quantities in the past few days, and he can guarantee that he will make a good profit next month. Among them, he must There will be some reasons.

"Oh...hehe, Li Ruolian, I'm really interested when you say that, so tell me why there are so many people borrowing money these days?" Yang Reform was also going to take a look, What kind of reasons can Li Ruolian come up with, and can he impress himself.

Li Ruolian was going all out, and was going to take the job of collecting loan sharks for the emperor firmly in his hands, get money for the emperor, and become the emperor's indispensable confidant.

"...Report to Your Majesty, the minister said, please don't blame the humble minister..." Li Ruolian also gave the emperor a vaccination in advance, so as not to hurt the emperor's face in time, and if he snapped himself, he would be wronged .

"It's okay, no matter what, I don't blame you." Yang Reform really didn't intend to blame Li Ruolian for anything, he liked this young man very much and planned to train him.

"Your Majesty, recently in the capital, there have been a lot of Juren eager to borrow money..." After Li Ruolian finished speaking, she stopped talking.He lowered his head and became silent.

There are a lot of borrowers?Yang Reform suddenly came to his senses, and laughed "haha". It turned out that it was all about the Guozijian, and it seemed to be done.It seems that the "officials" with official ranks are still very attractive to these juren!
"Hehe, why would I blame you for this matter? Li Ruolian, just tell me the whole story of this matter." Yang Reform is really excited, and he is still counting on getting the donation from the Imperial College. He went to disaster relief and shipbuilding.If it is not popular, how can I get money this year?Once I got the money, my life as a salary emperor would be easier!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, since a few days ago, after the imperial court allowed the imperial court to bring official titles, many juren in Beijing began to borrow money everywhere, and they were going to go to the Guozijian first. Many people said that this Guozijian The number of places in the prison is limited, which is first-come-first-served, so many juren don’t care about it. They ask someone to borrow some usury money, first lend the money from the prison, get a place first, and then get the money from home to pay back later. In this way, I dare to conclude that next month, the profit will be several times this month. Therefore, I dare to speak to His Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" Li Ruolian turned out her trump card, I think this will definitely impress the emperor.

Yang Reform laughed outrageously.Regardless of identity or demeanor.I have worked so hard to design those ruling classes and raise people's money. It seems that it has now been accomplished.As for saying that the number of Guozijian is limited, first come, first served, this, I don’t know at all, it seems that there are people who are contributing to the flames, but Yang Reform does not intend to pursue who is contributing to the flames, saying that the number of Guozijian is limited, First come, first served, this is a rumor anyway, since those Juren are willing to believe this rumor, then let him go.
