Liu Zhao refused to explain what he was doing at sea even if he was beaten to death.
Gu Jiu resorted to Class 108's tricks, but Liu Zhao couldn't get her to speak.
She is tired.
The body is tired and the heart is even more tired.
She gestured a finger at Liu Zhao, gritted her teeth and said, "You are awesome! Even if you dare to beat him to death, you won't do it."
He moved closer and hugged her.
She pushes him away.
He hugged it again.
Repeatedly, Gu Jiu was completely tired and didn't want to move.
Forget it, let him hold it.
Liu Zhao took a deep breath, it was full of Gu Jiu's smell, it smelled really good.
He said: "You don't have to worry about the one million. At worst, I'll pay it back for you. Outside the south city gate, you can repair the house if you want. Don't be afraid to spend money. The money will come back when it goes."
Why does this sound wrong.
Gu Jiu turned her head and stared at him suspiciously.
At this moment, her head was spinning rapidly.
Eliminate all possibilities, and the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth.
"You, you pay me back a million?"
Liu Zhao smiled, "I support you in doing whatever you want, you don't have to worry about it. This is my responsibility."
"Wait, what you said sounds a little strange to me."
Liu Zhao knew that Gu Jiu was sensitive, so he simply got up, "I'll go and order my servants to prepare dinner, eat a little before going to bed."
After speaking, he ran away.
He ran extremely fast, as if there was a wolf chasing after him.
I rely on!
Gu Jiu blinked.
She heard it right, Liu Zhao actually said to pay her back one million taels of silver.
That's one million, not ten thousand, not one hundred thousand.
In Liu Zhao's life, let alone one million, he never earned even ten thousand taels.
The matter of Beirong does not count. That is political cooperation with the military, not money.
Although the things he did in Beirong are worth millions or tens of millions, they are not real money after all, and the accounts really cannot be calculated in this way.
Where will Liu Zhao go to pay off the debt with one million yuan
Suddenly asked for 20,000 taels, saying it was to recruit a navy.
It wouldn't be what he thought.
When it was time to eat, she caught Liu Zhao by surprise.
"You don't want to go to sea for sea trade, do you?"
puff!
Liu Zhao calmed down and said calmly, "I have this idea."
Ghost!
Definitely not for sea trade.
Immediately afterwards, a most incredible answer appeared in Gu Jiu's mind.
"Do you want to be a pirate?"
puff!
Liu Zhao almost froze.
The lady is too sensitive, what should I do
At this moment, he had a strong desire to survive, and was about to run away, even thinking of an excuse.
"Don't talk nonsense, my son is a dignified grandson, how can he do things like stealing chickens and dogs. You eat well, I will go back to the study first, and I have some business to deal with."
"Don't go!"
Gu Jiu stretched out her hand and immediately grabbed him.
"You don't really want to be a pirate, do you?"
Liu Zhao frowned, "Your biggest problem is that you like to think wildly. Well, didn't you say that you are tired and want to sleep? Hurry up and lie down on the bed."
Puff haha...
Gu Jiu laughed unceremoniously.
"So you really plan to be a pirate and pay off my debts!"
She was deeply moved.
She really did not expect that Liu Zhao could do this for her.
She had no doubts, if she really couldn't pay one million to pay off the debt, Liu Zhao could really be a pirate.
Short and fast, high income, this is why Liu Zhao became a pirate.
After laughing, Gu Jiu wanted to cry again.
She suddenly threw herself into Liu Zhao's arms emotionally.
In two lifetimes, it was the first time that someone other than her parents' blood relatives treated her so well.
She hugged his waist and scolded: "You are an idiot at all."
Liu Zhao frowned, dissatisfied, "How am I stupid? Don't talk nonsense."
Gu Jiu bit her lip, "You are just stupid, hopelessly stupid. I told you not to worry, you can earn back a mere one million. But you just don't believe me. Do I look so unreliable?"
"No! Outside the south city gate, that place is a muddy quagmire. Even the big yamen in the capital can't solve it. How can you solve it by yourself?"
Gu Jiu snorted, very contemptuously, "They can't solve it, it's because they didn't find the right way. You have to know, people are lazy, when there is free food and drink, who is willing to find a job
Don't think that poor people are not lazy. Laziness does not distinguish between rich and poor, it is only about human nature. Do you know what kind of person is a real hardworking person? "
"Who?" Gu Jiu led Liu Zhao's rhythm, and his thoughts flew wildly.
Gu Jiu said: "Only those who can see hope will be diligent. No one is born to like to endure hardships and stand hard work, and no one is born to be diligent.
Only when he can see hope, he is willing to endure hardship and work hard. The group of refugees outside the South City Gate is a group of people who have no hope.
They have free relief food every day. Although they don't have enough to eat, they can live. Living without hope is like a group of walking dead, can you expect them to work hard
Instead of giving them relief food and dragging their lives, it is better to give them a hope of settling down. And it is a hope that can be realized quickly.
Two meals a day, plus daily wages, this is the hope that can be seen. If the house is added, the group of people don't have to drive them away, they will stand up and work hard. "
Liu Zhao thought about these words, and thought about it carefully, is there anyone who is born hardworking
It seems that I have never seen it.
For example, he himself, such a self-disciplined person, was actually very naughty when he was young, and he didn't like to study.
After being beaten up a few times, and seeing some reality clearly, I chose to live a self-disciplined life.
Why do the petty officials in the yamen always like to steal and play tricks
Because doing more and doing less is the same, since it is the same, why work so hard? If you can be lazy, of course you choose to be lazy.
Those who are proactive and diligent are naturally because they have something in their hearts.
Seeking fame, seeking profit, seeking a clear conscience...
No matter what you ask for, it is because you have something in your heart that you will actively choose to be diligent.
Once there is no hope in life, one can see the whole life at a glance, who would be willing to take the initiative to work hard!
Exhausted individual.
Unless you are forced to, you have to work hard. Even so, he will try his best to be lazy.
Diligence and laziness have nothing to do with wealth or poverty.
There are lazy people among the poor, and there are hardworking people among the rich.
Everything is human.
Liu Zhao hugged Gu Jiu tightly, and said solemnly, "Thank you!"
Gu Jiu looked confused, "Thank me for what."
"You solved my confusion for many years." Liu Zhao grinned.
Gu Jiu's words made him suddenly enlightened, and he was greatly inspired.
Many things that I could not understand in the past are all clear now.
Abandon those messy things, and return to the essence of everything, that is two words: human nature.
Liu Zhao was led by Gu Jiu's train of thought for thousands of miles, and then took the initiative to run back to the original point.
"So you plan to use the method of paying for work to solve those refugees?"
"There's still a house." Gu Jiu smiled triumphantly.
Liu Zhao frowned, "The house is not cheap, those people can't afford it at all. Your method will definitely not work."
Gu Jiu laughed, the sourness of thinking ahead, especially at this moment.
She said: "It doesn't matter if you can't afford it now, you can pay in installments. You have to remember that those who have permanent income have perseverance.
Why did you choose Liangjiazi when recruiting soldiers in the past? Because the son of a good family has permanent property and concerns. People who have concerns, when they go to the battlefield, will not think of being a deserter first, because it will implicate their family members.
When fighting, you can spare your life. Even if he died in battle, at least he could earn meritorious service and a pension for his family. Young Master Zhao, although you are the grandson of the emperor, it is obvious that your teacher is very one-sided in teaching you.
They taught you how to fight wars and engage in scheming, but they didn't teach you how to see the essence through the phenomenon, how to see the general trend clearly. "
Liu Zhao laughed, looking at her shy little appearance, she looked like a little fox stealing fish.
He put his arms around her waist, "My lady knows so much, it's better to teach her husband."
"I'm teaching you right now."
"Then you can teach me how to satisfy you."
Stinking rogue.
She was angry, and she didn't want to talk to him.
You bastard, is yellow in your mind
Liu Zhao likes to see Gu Jiu's angry and arrogant appearance, it's so cute.
He kissed her, "You are not a qualified teacher."
"My wife is not a full-time teacher. I'm in a bad mood today, so I won't talk about it."
"You still haven't told me why you owe the government a million dollars."
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, as if complaining: Why are you so stupid.
"After the refugees are settled, you can build a house. Of course, such a large land must be divided into multiple areas. The price of the house should also be clearly differentiated. You usually travel around the capital, don't you find a serious problem?"
Liu Zhao was not ashamed to ask, "What's the problem?"
There were so many problems in the capital, how could he know what problem Gu Jiu was referring to.
Gu Jiu said: "I read the annals of the capital in the Shaofu. The population of the capital has increased three or four times from seven to eight million in the time of Taizu to two or three million today. However, the capital is still the same capital as before. The area of the capital has not increased, that is to say, the living area of the small people in the capital has not increased either.
I had someone do a special investigation, and most of the small people in the capital are three or even four generations of a family living in two houses. You heard me right, a family of seven or eight people, or even a dozen or so people, live in two rooms. How can two houses accommodate so many people? Don't ask me, I don't know how to live. "
Liu Zhao frowned. In the past, he only noticed various problems caused by the population expansion in the capital, such as food. How much food does the imperial court have to store in the big warehouse to meet the food problem of the capital's population in an emergency
This is also a question that the court has been worried about.
Therefore, the imperial warehouse has been expanded three times in recent years.
It is all to store more food reserves, just in case.
The only thing that didn't consider the problem of small people's housing.
Hearing Gu Jiu mention that he, a dignified grandson who has no shortage of houses, realized that housing is also a big problem.
Gu Jiu continued, "It's not easy to live in the capital. This sentence is not nonsense. If you want to buy a single-door courtyard in the capital, with three main rooms and two side rooms, and one with a kitchen, the location is the worst. It takes more than one hundred taels. Those with a slightly better location need two or three hundred taels.
With the income of ordinary people in the capital, they can't afford even the tiniest house even with the strength of three or four generations. So what to do? Can only rent.
Why are there so many messy buildings in Nancheng? Because everyone needs a place to live. With such a large population in the capital city, there are so few places to choose from. There is no other way but to build things randomly. "
Liu Zhao nodded, "What you're talking about is indeed a problem. The most fearful of fire is the disorderly construction. The south side of the city has always been the key place for fire prevention in the five cities. He was furious. Once the fire started, there was no way to rescue them given the density of houses in the southern city.”
"So Li Dalang is finished."
After a pause, Gu Jiu continued her big business of fooling around.
"The imperial court has never thought of solving the housing problem for the ordinary people. It is estimated that no one has thought about it in this direction. But I want to solve it for them.
What a great location outside the South City Gate, close to the city gate and close to the South City. It is very convenient to go home from work every day. You said that if there is a two-storey house outside the city, with five or six bedrooms, a main room, a kitchen, a latrine, and a small courtyard, it only costs a hundred or so, and it can be divided into three years or five years. Even pay for ten years. If it were you, a family of eight or nine living in two rooms, would you be tempted? "
Liu Zhao said loudly, "If it were me, I would work so hard to buy a house like this."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Are you still worried that I can't afford the Shaofu's one million taels?"
Liu Zhao had a new problem, "Xiamin buys a house and pays in installments. How long will it take you to get back the money? After one year, how will you pay off the loan from the Shaofu?"
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, "Who said I want to lend money to Xiaomin to buy a house? You are stupid! Guarding Shaofu Bank, such a big treasury is not used, and I pay the house payment myself, am I so stupid
Of course I am cooperating with Shaofu. If you want to buy a house in installments, you can ask Shaofu for a loan, and Shaofu will give you a low interest rate. For example, the full payment is 100 taels for a house, 120 taels for three-year installments, and 140 taels for five years. Would you not borrow money instead? "
Liu Zhao calculated the interest here, if a house of 100 taels, installment in three years, can really get 122 taels, then it is indeed low interest rate, ultra-low interest rate.
Anyone who doesn't have a house will be heartbroken.
He said: "This is indeed a solution. It's just that you are sure that Shaofu will agree to cooperate with you? With such a low interest, Shaofu is willing?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Even if the Shaofu doesn't agree to cooperate at first, I'm sure I can convince them to agree.
We must know that the Shaofu Bank is not only for making money, but more importantly, it is to solve the difficulties of people's livelihood. This is the original intention of the establishment of the bank.
Let Xiaomin have the opportunity to settle down and start a business. This is a good thing that can really solve people's livelihood. Moreover, the Shaofu Bank can take this opportunity to make a name for itself.
When the project outside the Nancheng Gate is completed, which private bank in the entire Gyeonggi region can compete with the bank in Shaofu? Shaofu can also take this opportunity to promote the bank to the whole world. You can even go to Beirong Xiliang to earn their money.
Maybe you can also take this opportunity to promote all banks in the world to reduce rent and interest, so as to give the common people a way out. Because Mrs. Ben, as an example, opened up a new way to make money for them. "
Liu Zhao thought about it, then simply sat down and took a pen to write down what Gu Jiu had said.
He refuted one by one, and Gu Jiu explained one by one.
Liu Zhao then recorded all the explanations that Gu Jiu said.
Throughout the night, the young couple was busy finding faults, rebutting the debate, and filling in the gaps. Has been busy until three o'clock.
Gu Jiu was so sleepy that he felt like he was about to ascend to immortality.
Liu Zhao was in high spirits.
He said to Gu Jiu: "I thought of something. Many people in the army have not settled down. It is possible to use the South City Gate project to let some veterans settle down and take their families to live in new houses. In this way, veterans It will be more down-to-earth, and it can also eliminate the gambling atmosphere in the army as much as possible."
Gu Jiu lay on the couch, "Whatever, you can say whatever you want."
Liu Zhao said excitedly: "If this method proves to be effective, it can be extended to the whole family."
Gu Jiu turned over, "You forgot the key point, people have a homeland complex. Many people are not willing to stay in the place where they serve as soldiers and settle down, they prefer to go back to their hometown."
"If you can find a way out in the place where you served as a soldier, will you go back?"
"How can there be so many ways out. This kind of thing can't be rushed, it must be done slowly. If you are too anxious, be careful to talk nonsense."
"what?"
"It's nothing." Gu Jiu hurriedly changed her words, she was really sleepy and her mind was slow.
Liu Zhao said: "You go to bed first, and I'll think about it later."
Gu Jiu yawned, "You are so active, do you want to make a fortune with me?"
Liu Zhao laughed, "I'll be your thug. If anyone doesn't open his eyes, I'll teach him a lesson for you."
Gu Jiu disliked it, "Your status is sensitive, and you are not as good as Aunt Huyang when it comes to being a thug. Aunt Huyang does it casually, and His Majesty will only treat it as a personal grudge, and will not rise to the court to fight. Once you make a move, it's over, Your Majesty immediately thought of the battle for the heir apparent. How much money do I still have to make, so cool off as soon as possible."
Liu Zhao was not happy, "You despise her husband so much?"
Gu Jiu leaned into his arms, "I don't despise you, how could I despise you. I still count on you to back me up. I'm going to bed first, so you can be busy."
"I'll take you to bed."
As soon as he touched the mattress, Gu Jiu fell asleep.
Liu Zhao laughed, covered her with a quilt, and said silently: "I will support you for the rest of my life."
