The two little ones in Xu Da's arms couldn't hold their eyes open and fell asleep in their grandfather's arms.
Afraid that his grandson would be cold, Xu Da kicked the pile of firewood that was about to go out. The dense firewood loosened and the oxygen was fully boosted. The fire in front of everyone crackled and burned, becoming more and more prosperous.
At night, the mountain wind blows, and this side is upwind. The flames "pop" and long tongues of flame rise.
Fortunately, Xu Da reacted quickly, otherwise the sudden increase in flames would have almost touched the fetal hair of his two precious grandsons.
If these two little darlings were burned bald, Xu Qingyang would not be able to stay in this home.
The sudden shaking shocked the two sleeping little guys. Xu Dahurriedly patted their backs and comforted them softly: "Go to sleep, sleep, good days will come tomorrow~"
Zhou Yu couldn't hold back the feeling of embarrassment in his heart, and asked miserably: "These houses in the village are dilapidated and dilapidated, and the fields are barren. Where can there be money willing to lend us money..."
"Even if there is, it must be a sinister businessman who has no good intentions, defrauds the land, and wants to eat the human bones together!"
Xu Da shook his head, "That's not necessarily true. For example, our Xu Jiajun bank is dedicated to helping our poor brothers."
Zhou Yu and others looked over in surprise, and excitedly asked Xu Da what he meant by this.
"Can Xu Jiajun's bank lend us money?"
"Is this really possible?" A villager looked at the dilapidated mud house behind him and asked tentatively: "Is a house like that okay? How much can I borrow?"
Seeing that the villagers were getting excited and had more and more questions, Xu Da quickly called out to them to stop.
After everyone suppressed their excitement, Xu Da slowly revealed the loan.
First of all, the houses and fields in the village can be mortgaged.
Secondly, the interest rate is not high, only 8%, which is less than 10% profit.
Finally, if you cannot pay it off at once, you can choose to pay it in installments.
When they heard the second point, the excitement of the villagers was already uncontrollable. When they heard about the final installment payment, they were so excited that they cried.
Zhou Yu knelt down again, with a thin body and a big head on his thin neck, and wanted to kowtow to Xu Da.
Xu Da does not have a phobia of being kowtowed to. He has endured many such kneeling rituals in the sect in the past.
Unfortunately, Xu Jiajun didn't have such rules. He couldn't slap his daughter in the face, so he had to raise his hand and flick his sleeves to cast a spell to stop Zhou Yu from kowtowing.
There was obviously nothing under his head, but Zhou Yue suddenly felt a resistance and forcefully pushed his head up.
He looked surprised, not knowing what was going on. He almost thought he was too weak and had hallucinations.
It was already dark, and Xu Da had already finished explaining the loan rules. It was up to the villagers to decide whether they wanted a loan or not.
Yawning, Xu Da held his grandson in one hand, stood up, left the fire, and went into the tent to rest.
There was still light in Xu Yue's tent, thinking that the young man would stay up late again tonight.
Zhou Yu and others stayed in the camp for a while before leaving to go home and rest.
It was this night that they were destined to be unable to sleep. The loan was circling in their minds, they felt the empty home, their thoughts were surging in their hearts, and finally the fatigue in their bodies came over them, and they couldn't resist it and then they fell asleep in a daze.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as there was a little light on the horizon, the villagers came over with the land deeds of their homes.
At the camp, Wen Qing was leading the members to pack their luggage, boil water and make porridge for breakfast.
There was still light in Xu Yue's tent. She didn't sleep all night and finally produced thirty-seven loan notes and contracts.
As for the bank's seal, Xu Dalang carved one for his sister with a stone overnight, which read: Xu Family People's Bank!
Okay, this name fits the national conditions very well. Xu Yuechong gave her brother a thumbs up.
Xu Dalang smiled shyly, put down the big stone seal, picked up the snoring kingfisher and went to the river for morning exercises.
From time to time, the wailing sound of a kingfisher comes from the river. It is strange to hear the sound but not the person.
Zhou Yu, who was leading the villagers in the camp to wait for Xu Yue and his daughter to handle the loan procedures, looked at Wen Qing and asked curiously:
"What are you doing by the river?"
While cooking, Wen Qing glanced at the river bank. The river bank was overgrown with weeds, blocking all people. Only two figures could be vaguely seen swaying on the bank.
But even though he couldn't see the picture, Wen Qing already knew what was happening over there.
He smiled and replied: "The major general is training new recruits."
Another shrill scream came from the girl, who seemed to be in great pain, and just hearing it made people's hearts tremble.
Zhou Yu, who was still clamoring to join the Xu Family Army as a soldier yesterday, suddenly shuddered. "Do you, the Xu Family Army, train your new recruits so harshly?"
"If you don't work hard in training, how can you work harder when you go to the battlefield? That is risking your life. It will be too late to regret it by then." Wen Qing said seriously.
Zhou Yu thought about it, that's right, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. If you don't practice carefully on weekdays, you will lose your life on the battlefield!
Zhou Yu sighed and suddenly felt that rebuilding the village didn't seem that difficult.
The aroma of rice porridge wafted out from the boiling pottery pot. Zhou Yu and other villagers, who had not eaten anything, smelled the smell and swallowed uncontrollably.
White rice porridge is quite rare for villagers who eat yellow corn all year round.
Zhou Yu asked: "Is this the rice eaten in the south?"
Wen Qing nodded. Although he was a little embarrassed by the hungry eyes of the villagers, he did not prepare the villagers' portion of breakfast. He could only pretend that he could not feel it and put the cooked white rice porridge into a wooden bucket.
Zhou Yu turned around and glanced at the villagers. The agitated villagers finally regained their composure and stared eagerly at the military green tent where Xu Yue lived, hoping that she would come out soon.
Xu Yue took half an hour's sleep before getting up. When she walked out of the tent, she saw Zhou Yu and others had arrived. She signaled them to wait a moment and walked to Wen Qing's side. She had a bowl of rice porridge and pickles first, and then
The foldable short frame in the tent can be carried out.
The table was set up, and he ordered someone to go into the tent and bring out the wooden box that he had taken out from the research room in advance and put it on the table.
The contracts and bills prepared after staying up all night were laid out, the wooden box was opened, and the golden cakes glowed dazzlingly in the morning light.
Zhou Yu and others were suffocated, waiting for Xu Yue to say hello, and rushed forward to mortgage the land deed and obtain a loan from Xu Jiajun.
"Get in line, come one by one, there is room for everyone, don't crowd!" Wen Qing shouted sternly, winking at the two idle members next to him.
The members understood, drew their weapons, strode over, and seriously separated the huddled villagers!
"You are not allowed to jump in line. You line up one by one. Why do you go to the back? There are so many of you crowded together, what is the leader going to do? This is the rule of the Xu family army! All of you, line up for me!" the members scolded.
When the villagers saw that the members still had knives in their hands, they seemed to realize that the group in front of them was not charity people, but Xu Jiajun who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. They did not dare to disobey and lined up obediently.
