It's already the end of the first lunar month.

The side of an official road on East and West Road in Beijing was crowded with workers coming to collect their wages.

With the arrival of spring, the busy farming season is approaching.

All road construction work has stopped.

Everyone has been liberated.

After they received the completion money, they went to Dengzhou and Laizhou to pan for gold.

At this time, Wang Daqiang was not among the people lining up to receive money.

He and dozens of co-workers are now lying on the ground, tied with ropes.

The officers and soldiers on horseback passed in front of them.

The general on the horse, holding a whip, cursed at them: "These damn talented people, how dare they run away after they owe the officials money?!"

"Do you really think the Sa family's tricks are blind?"

Wang Daqiang lay on the ground and sighed.

He doesn’t want to run either!

But the money owed is too much!

It’s a full twenty dollars! There’s still 20% interest!

"Why can't I control my hands..." Wang Daqiang was extremely frustrated.

He originally made a lot of money.

Building roads for government officials costs one hundred yuan a day. After deducting food, you can save at least seventy or eighty yuan a day.

At least two thousand dollars a month!

Even if he only visits those check bars every three to five days, he will still have one more month left.

But he loves gambling!

As soon as you go to the gambling table, you don't remember your name, and as soon as you grab the dice, you don't know your depth.

Although the fun is small, it can't stop the addiction!

If you lose all your wages, go borrow it.

The official who specializes in lending money at the construction site is very talkative.

Consistently, as long as he opened his mouth and was willing to sign his name, I lent it to him directly.

So, I borrowed twenty strings out of nowhere!

I thought there were so many people building roads here.

Where do loan lenders remember this?

Moreover, there are so many people borrowing money. If we all run together, as long as we go to Dengzhou and enter the mountains and forests, who will be able to find it?

Who would have imagined that those who lend money are actually in partnership with the Forbidden Army.

Moreover, those damn Imperial Guard cavalry also kept vicious dogs in the camp.

Those vicious dogs have been trained to smell the scent of poor people like them who owe money.

But everyone was kept in the dark, so when they were running away with the bucket in the dark at night, they were caught by the Imperial Guards patrolling with vicious dogs!

Even if they fled in all directions, they couldn't outrun the four-legged cavalry.

Everyone was arrested.

However, Wang Daqiang was right.

After he was caught, he refused to resist and allowed the imperial guards to tie him up.

Then he pretended to be dead on the ground.

It doesn’t cost money—it costs a life!

Anyway, no one in this place in western Beijing knows his details.

He didn't believe it, these officers and soldiers still dared to kill people?

The general on the horse looked at the ruffians all over the place with their mouths closed and silent.

He sneered and said: "It is only natural to pay back debts!"

"Now, I'll give you three ways..."

"First: pay back the money! Once you pay the money, you can leave!" Behind him, a row of tables had been set up, and clerks were sitting in front of the tables.

In front of these clerks, there were piles of thick documents, all of which were loan documents signed by them.

The words written in black and white cannot be denied.

What's even worse is that these people are clearly the same people who originally lent money to people like Wang Daqiang.

I deal with Wang Daqiang and others every day, no one can deny it!

Everyone has their heads drooped.

Wang Daqiang also broke the pot, and he simply shouted: "Tiha, I have no money..."

Others immediately started shouting: "I don't have any money when I go back to Tiha!"

"Me too!"

Anyway, in the Song Dynasty, there were no laws about selling oneself into slavery.

They are such hot-blooded people, but they have never revealed the details of their families.

No matter how ferocious the officers and soldiers are, there is no point in giving them a whip.

Is it possible to still kill them?

Wang Daqiang grew up in Bianjing!

He naturally knew that it might be fine if Qiu Ba and his gang beat one or two people to death in private.

But if dozens or hundreds of people were beaten to death or disabled with a single whip, that would be a big deal!

It will attract the crows from Yushitai!

"Hehe!" The general waved his whip: "Can't pay back the money? It's easy!"

"Just choose the other two paths!"

"Or, go to Xihe Road..." The general said with a grin: "Xihe is currently short of people to farm the land. The boss will provide food and accommodation, and pay five guan of wages a year!"

"You just need to sign for the relevant period of time, and the Sa family will send someone to take you to Xihe!"

"After serving the full term, I will naturally be able to pay off my official debt with interest!"

Wang Daqiang's eyes widened as he listened.

Five coins a year? Only three to five hundred coins a month? Or in a place like Xihe?!

Has your heart been eaten by a dog?

But he didn't dare to say it after all.

The general waved his whip again: "The second way is to Guangxi. There is a lot of gold in Guangyuan Prefecture of Jiaozhi!"

"When you mine gold, you can exchange it for money and silk to pay off your debts!"

When Wang Daqiang heard this, he rolled his eyes and immediately raised his head and shouted: "Tiha, can you let the villain go to Dengzhou to mine gold to pay off the debt?"

"What a beautiful thought!" the general scolded: "Climbing the state to mine gold is a favor given by the officials to the kind people!"

"You scoundrels, don't even think about it!"

In fact, it was because the superiors had given a reward.

If these scoundrels are willing to pay back the money, then half of the interest will be the reward for him and his soldiers.

Otherwise, how could they be so active? How could they be so alert?

Every time they catch a rogue who owes money and pays back the money, they get half of the interest!

Naturally, everyone’s eyes widened from top to bottom!

These days, I have been working shifts at night.

Even the vicious dogs raised at home were used to keep an eye on these rogues.

This is the death of man and money!

And the profit sharing of interest is just the beginning.

The real point is at the back - every person who goes to Xihe will be rewarded with two guans of gold!

And every time someone goes to Guangxi, it’s even more serious!

Five Guans per person!
