Even in some places, officials forced people to take out loans.
The common people didn't suffer any losses.
At most, they would just eat the grain distributed by the government.
When the harvest time comes,
Just return the new grain.
It's not just businessmen who are borrowing money.
There are also some people who urgently need money.
In the past, a sudden illness...
This could bankrupt a middle-class family.
It's not just because medical expenses are high,
And because there is only usury in the world,
Borrow some working capital,
But in the end, it might force you to sell your house and land.
They even had to sell their children to pay off the debt.
After the Royal Bank was established...
They can use their house deeds and land deeds to borrow money for emergencies.
The low interest rate will allow them to repay the loan gradually.
And it won't crush them.
Even if you don't need money
Royal Bank also allowed them to earn some interest on their spare cash.
Although for most people,
They don't have much spare money.
The interest earned is not much.
But they saved their money penny by penny.
Moreover, these small amounts of money have a greater purpose for them.
After Zhao Yuan wiped out the Western Xia,
It wasn't just ordinary people who were used to depositing money with the Royal Bank.
Even wealthy people deposited their money with the Royal Bank.
On the one hand, it is because the trend of the Great Liang unifying the world is already beyond doubt.
On the other hand, after the news of the annihilation of Western Xia arrived...
This is related to Zhao Yuan's announcement of a general amnesty.
Large investors no longer need to worry about being liquidated at any time.
In fact, Zhao Yuan was just using a pretext.
After all, whether it's acting on behalf of Heaven,
Neither the killing of corrupt officials nor the crackdown on them can continue indefinitely.
After the establishment of the Great Liang,
Even wealthy families who have been virtuous for generations have to live in constant fear.
Morality has not yet collapsed in this era.
Many wealthy families have benefited the local community for generations.
Normally, we repair roads and build bridges.
In times of famine, they provide porridge and medicine.
However, a large household also means a large population.
No one can guarantee that there won't be any bad apples among them.
Therefore, even the most virtuous people, who are universally praised for their kindness, live in constant fear.
I don't know when someone will report me to the authorities.
After Zhao Yuan rectified official corruption,
Officials continued to report this situation.
Of course, they might also be trying to loosen the rope around their necks.
After all, while big investors are living in fear,
They also tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
After discussing it with Wen Huanzhang and the others, Zhao Yuan,
They also felt that the fact that officials and wealthy families were living in fear had seriously affected society.
Zhao Yuan announced a general amnesty while he was still on his way back.
All past sins are forgiven.
However, the law will still be strictly enforced from now on.
Once the general amnesty was promulgated,
Officials and wealthy families throughout the land breathed a sigh of relief.
But they didn't let their guard down.
Instead, he continued to strictly require his family members not to do bad things and to do more good things.
After several months of thorough investigation,
More than half of the officials and wealthy households in various regions were raided and beheaded.
They also realized that Daliang had zero tolerance for crimes committed by the powerful and wealthy.
Having finally washed away the sins of the past,
No one wants to put a noose around their own neck anymore.
Chapter 1703 Envy
Zhao Yuan went up to the third floor from the back yard.
Then they saw Ren Jinnu already waiting at the door.
"Welcome, Prince Liang."
"boom!"
Zhao Yuan put his arm around Ren Jinnu and led her into the office.
Kick the door shut.
He hooked Ren Jinnu's finger around her and laughed.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Ren Jinnu looked at Zhao Yuan with sparkling eyes and said coquettishly.
"I heard that His Majesty and Prince Liang went to reward the three armies today,"
"Then I thought that the King of Liang might come looking for me."
"Therefore, he has been watching the palace from the window,"
“I saw the Prince of Liang as soon as he left the palace.”
"Look, I have already prepared tea for the Prince of Liang."
Zhao Yuan also noticed the tea on the table.
"You don't want to come back to the palace with me,"
Why prepare tea?
"kindness!"
Ren Jinnu moaned seductively.
His fingers traced circles on Zhao Yuan's chest.
"I am preparing to report the current situation of the bank to Prince Liang."
Zhao Yuan observed Ren Jinnu's behavior.
He picked up Ren Jinnu in one swift motion.
"Looks like you've been holding it in for ages,"
"I'll stay with you for a while,"
"Let's hear about the situation at the money exchange later."
"what!"
Ren Jinnu let out a soft cry.
It was placed on Zhao Yuan's desk.
...
After a while,
Zhao Yuan sat on a chair with Ren Jinnu in his arms.
"Now you can report on the current situation of the bank."
Ren Jinnu nestled in Zhao Yuan's arms.
She was completely satisfied at that moment.
There are thirteen pregnant women in the palace.
But she wasn't one of them.
During the days when the King of Liang was not present,
She could only focus her energy on expanding the money exchange.
Great results have been achieved.
Although it was primarily based on the prestige of the royal family,
But her coordination is also essential for ensuring the smooth operation of the business.
Therefore, as soon as the King of Liang returned...
She wanted to take credit.
Yesterday, however, all the flowers were in full bloom.
She couldn't very well mention the money exchange.
Otherwise, he would inevitably become the enemy of all the concubines.
After all, she was the only concubine in the palace who could go out and share the burdens of the Prince of Liang.
However, she was certain that the Prince of Liang and the Emperor would return to the palace before evening after rewarding the troops.
And the palace was next to the money exchange.
Therefore, she waited for the King of Liang to arrive.
Even if the banks below have closed down
The supervisor has already sorted out today's accounts.
She still did not return to the palace.
