Liu Changshi smiled bitterly and said: [A few merchants came to borrow money before, but they refused to pay it back when the time came. Those rogues are difficult to deal with, and I am worried that I don't know how to deal with them. 】

Captain Zhe Chong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This job is really not difficult.

She privately sent people to collect the debt, but after two or three times, she completely collected it. Liu Changshi made a special trip to thank her and gave her a thank you fee. The captain tried to turn it down, but Liu Changshi said: "This is

A pure thank you, Captain, I can rest assured.】

From this she also learned about the official debt.

He was shocked and said: [How is this possible?]

Liu Changshi seemed to be laughing at her timidity and asked: "Is there any law in the royal court that stipulates that this is not allowed? No! It can be done without any prohibition by law! Since it is a 'permissible' thing, what's wrong with it? There is something wrong at home.

If you just leave your spare money, it’s better to lend it to merchants to earn some interest, what do you think?]

Then, Liu Changshi said something unknown.

No one in the Jinli County government office knew about this matter.

Everyone pooled their money together to lend money to merchants, collect the money, and then distribute dividends based on the loaned principal. Otherwise, how can any family live a comfortable life with just that little salary? There is more than one Liu Chang who does this.

Shi, you can rest assured.

There are even officials who go around borrowing money from merchants.

How can we forget our loved ones when there is such a thing as getting rich?

Captain Zhe Chong asked curiously about profit.

Nine times out and thirteen times out, you can get close to 50% of the dividends on your invested capital. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a huge profit?

Lieutenant Zhe Chong's heart beat like a drum.

This is a business that is not illegal, is hugely profitable, and is sure to make a profit! After she went back, she looked at the simple rented house with a lot of thoughts in her mind. It would be inconvenient for several members of the family to live in such a space. If she had a lot of money,

Can I change my house...

Shen Tang chuckled: "So, you also released the official debt?"

Good guy, the person who co-authored the loan of official debt is not one person but a group of people, illegally raising funds and illegally lending, all the elements are complete!

Captain Zhechong gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes..."

She also received several dividends.

As time went by, she felt relieved. Thanks to Liu Changshi's kindness, she would occasionally help him with some things.

Another thought suddenly came to Shen Tang's mind, and he resisted the urge to take a breath: "Is there anyone else in Zhe Chong Mansion who will also join?"

Captain Zhe Chong nodded again.

Shen Tang raised his hand to his forehead and sighed deeply.

"Yes, it's a Ponzi scheme. If it doesn't cause thunder, who will?"

As the Minister of Household Affairs, Xun Zhen was very sensitive to money. She raised her ears when she heard these words: "Ponzi scheme? Thunderstorm?"

Shen Tang sighed and said: "Ponzi scheme, to put it more simply, is a trick of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Merchants borrowing official debt is a disguised form of bribing officials to find a backer, but have you ever thought about it?

The purpose of doing business is also to make money. Who will keep borrowing the government debt that has been raised nine times and thirteen times? So, where do the dividends come from? Naturally, it is to win over more people and use their money to make up for the dividend gap. Close

The 50% gap, once the hole cannot be repaired, there will be a thunderstorm."

Liu Changshi, haha, what a talent he is!

While engaging in corruption and bribery, he also ran a Ponzi scheme.

When she saw Captain Zhe Chong's pale face, she knew that there were many people investing money in Zhe Chong Mansion. With the greed of human nature, these people were probably using high leverage. Shen Tang laughed angrily at this moment: "So, you are stealing from others. , sold the grain depot to fill the hole?"

Lieutenant Zhe Chong said flatly: "This is absolutely not the case!"

She was so anxious that she was speechless.

"Mo, I will never do this..."

Shen Tang looked at Yu Zi, who shook her head.

Yan Ling did not have an attack, and Lieutenant Zhe Chong did not lie.

"How much do you know about the theft of the grain depot? Let me put it another way, what did you do for Liu Changshi before and after the theft of the grain depot?" Shen Tang said and winked at Gu Chi, who understood instantly.

Lieutenant Zhe Chong didn't know what he thought of, his pupils shrank suddenly, his lips moved several times, but he couldn't utter a word. Shen Tang asked this question, no matter how slow she was, she should have known that there might be something wrong with Liu Changshi. No, it was not possible. , the suspicion is very, very high.

Shen Tang chuckled: "Remember?"

Zhe rushed to the captain and murmured in a low voice.

"Several caravans left the country that day to pass through the customs..."

If you want to get dividends from official debts, you can't be too strict with merchants. Some aspects that can be facilitated must be facilitated. As time goes by, the guards relax their vigilance on merchants holding special documents. They will let them go after a symbolic check. It would be too much of a waste of time.

If it's a familiar face, just say hello and let him pass.

Xun Zhen's hands were shaking with heartache.

"...So, the food can't be recovered?"

Shen Tang sighed and made up his mind: "It's not just the food that can't be recovered? Maybe it was shipped out with the food and all the savings of these unlucky people who borrowed money to join the Ponzi scheme."
