On this day, Lu Desheng, the county guard, met with the wealthy landlord in Houcheng at the county guard's mansion, with the purpose of repaying the money and paying interest.

It's still the hall where the money was borrowed back then, and it's still the same crew.

Lan Bingrong and Geng Yuan, two deadly enemies, looked at each other, and their eyes were about to leave.

Everyone in the room felt uneasy, the wealthy landlords were most afraid of being invited to tea by officials, or entertaining them with banquets, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a good banquet.

Before Master Lu arrived, they couldn't help but whispered to each other.

"Master Lu won't be short of money again, right?"

"However, everything in Houcheng is thriving."

"You're stupid, it's Hou Cheng who is thriving, and Master Lu is short of money."

"But, the ones we borrowed last time haven't—"

While everyone was waiting anxiously, Lu Desheng appeared.

Everyone stood up to greet him.

As soon as he sat down, he stretched out his hand to signal, "Everyone sit down."

After everyone was seated, he said straight to the point, "Didn't I borrow a sum of money from you when I took office?"

Lan Bingrong, Geng Yuan and the others all stared round. Is Master Lu so direct?What kind of response should they give?

But their Master Lu didn't need them to respond at all, so he continued, "I will pay you back today, and you will take the IOU and go to the accountant to settle the settlement later."

Many people are like ducks that have been strangled. Just now they have thought about how to cry, and how to cry, so that they look pitiful and not hateful.Never expected that the purpose of the government inviting them here is to pay them back money?hell!

Someone replied dryly, "Lord Lu, we are not in a hurry for the money."

The others glared at the one who spoke, he was not in a hurry for money, they were in a hurry, let's do it!

Lu Desheng waved his hand and said, "Stop being polite, just follow what I say."

This matter was decided after discussion between the father and daughter.

As the saying goes, borrow and pay back, and it is not difficult to borrow again.Build trust first.

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, they all stood up and clapped their hands at Lu Desheng, "Then thank you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Desheng said, "You're welcome, you deserve it."

Geng Yuan exchanged glances with the acquaintance next to him. They all heard the rumor that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce had made a lot of money in Southland, and it seemed to be true.

The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was established after Mr. Lu became a diplomat. Even a fool can see that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has an official background.

Perhaps to Mr. Lu, the money was just dumped from his left pocket to his right pocket.

After Lu Desheng finished speaking, he wanted to withdraw, but suddenly thought of something, so he stopped, "By the way, is Lan Bingrong here?"

"Sir, the little one is here!"

"I heard that your family has a lot of land?"

"Yes—yes." I don't know what Master Lu meant by asking this?Lan Bingrong was extremely nervous.

Lu Desheng glared at him dissatisfied, why stammer?is he scary

Lu Desheng didn't expect to stare at him, the other party's legs trembled, and he was speechless, so he said quickly, "The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce decided to lend you ten pedal threshing machines, do you want it?"

When Lan Bingrong heard it, he was refreshed, "Yes, of course!"

He has heard that this threshing machine is very useful, but unfortunately all the goods have been sent to Nandi, and he wants to buy it, but he can't buy it.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, if there are ten threshing machines, it will be of great help.

Lu Desheng: "Alright then, prepare to receive the goods when you get home!"

"My lord, can I buy these ten threshing machines?" Lan Bingrong asked boldly. He has a lot of land, and if the threshing machines are really easy to use, they will be of great help.After all, you have to own this thing. You can't borrow it from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce every autumn harvest, right?

Lu Desheng pondered for a moment and said, "Well, you go home first and prepare to receive the goods. If you really want to buy it, I will ask you to quote the price to you later. If you can accept it, you can buy it. If you can't accept it, I will still lend you the threshing machine." It will take a month."

"Thank you sir." Lan Bingrong thanked quickly.

After the matter was over, Lu Desheng left.

Now that Geng Yuan and others are leaving, they are actually shouting in their hearts, Mr. Lu, their family also has a lot of land, and they also need a threshing machine!

But it was obvious that Lord Lu didn't hear their inner cries.

Geng Yuan and the others looked at Lan Bingrong, a lucky guy, with complicated eyes!It's really enviable and jealous.

They all knew that this was Lord Lu's reward for Lan Bingrong.

When Master Lu made alms for the first time, it was Lan Bingrong who generously donated and borrowed 2 taels.At the beginning, they thought it was meat buns beating dogs, so they were unwilling to lend a lot of money to the government, and only donated two to three thousand taels.Even though later they took the initiative to borrow money because Lu Desheng became the governor of Liaodong.It is estimated that in Master Lu's heart, Lan Bingrong, a fool, still weighs more than them.

Later, when Lan Bingrong came out of the Sheriff's Mansion in a trance, the government actually paid back the money, and even paid them interest!

Geng Yuan also got his principal and interest back. When he came out of the gate, he took one last look at Lan Bingrong, shook his head and left. It's really a blessing to be a fool.

……

On Houcheng Street, Young Master Ji and Second Young Master Gu waved their fans and strolled leisurely.

"Second Young Master Gu, Houcheng is so vibrant." Young Master Ji sighed as he looked at the crowded streets.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the common people are rushing to the big and small markets that take place every three days, which is very lively.

Gu Ershao nodded. Compared with the dire situation in the Southland, their feelings were deeper.

Young Master Ji asked him, "How is your business going?"

Gu Er Shao didn't hide it from him, "The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has not produced many threshing machines so far. Moreover, Liaodong County is preparing for the autumn harvest. They also need threshing machines, and they cannot supply all of them to our Gu family."

"However, they promised that before the next rice harvest, they would drive out the threshing machine we wanted and send it to Nandi."

What Gu Ershao didn't say was that the people from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce told him privately that there was not enough iron ore in Liaodong County. If they could provide iron ore, Liaodong County would charge some processing fees and manual fees.If not, the number of threshing machines provided to them will have to be cut in half, and the price will be much higher.

Ji Dashao said, "I think this proposal is acceptable."

In their southern land, rice is harvested twice a year, but in Liaodong County, rice is harvested once a year. Of course, people have to worry about themselves.Besides, the summer harvest in the Southlands has already passed, and the demand for threshing machines is not so urgent.

Gu Ershao smiled and didn't say much.

As they walked, they came to the Xijiao Industrial Park.

Gu Ershao pointed to a commercial building engraved with the emblem of the Ji family, and asked, "That building belongs to your Ji family?"

Ji Dashao followed what he pointed, looked over, then nodded happily, "Yes."
