"People from Daxingshan Temple? Are you not allowed to borrow money from our bank?" Tang Ping asked in surprise, "Can you tell me what's going on?"
Old Man Gao thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Brother, come in first."
Inviting Tang Ping into the courtyard, he brought a stool and asked him to sit down before saying, "It turns out that we have been borrowing money from Daxingshan Temple."
"Sometimes I could pay it back, sometimes I couldn't. Gradually, all the family property was mortgaged to Daxingshan Temple."
"Now there are only ten acres of land left to support the two of us, but six acres have been pledged to Daxingshan Temple. If the money is not paid when it is due, we will not be able to get the land back."
Old Man Goriot wiped his tears as he spoke.
"But... why don't they let you get a loan from our bank?" Tang Ping asked.
"They said that if we don't borrow new loans from them, the six acres of land will not be returned to us even if the money is paid."
"Hey, they're not so strong..." Tang Ping was so angry that he originally wanted to say forceful buying and selling, but when he thought about it, it seemed inappropriate.
He changed his mind and said, "Isn't this an act of robbery? Where can the people borrow money, and the Bodhisattvas in their temples can also take care of it?"
I originally thought that Daxingshan Temple had no action, but I didn't expect that he would be playing tricks on him down there.
It's unclear whether Old Man Gou can redeem his land, but at least he has something to think about. After all, the autumn harvest is coming soon.
When the time comes, the harvest from the fields may be sold, and maybe it can be redeemed.
But with their threats, Old Man Gao did not dare to borrow money from him, and he wanted to buy medicine for his granddaughter. So, wouldn't he have no choice but to continue borrowing money from their temple at high interest rates?
"Aren't they just robbers?" A sickly woman came out, it was Gao Xiaohui, the granddaughter of Old Man Gao. She held on to the doorpost and said: "Back then, my father made great achievements with the army against the Turks. Later, he died in the battle in the north. The imperial court A lot of compensation was also given.”
"But I have been sick all year round, and my grandfather had to take care of me, so he neglected to take care of the fields. Over the years, the fields that my father paid for with his life have basically fallen into the hands of the Bodhisattva."
Tang Ping did not expect that the men in this family were still the same group who died fighting the Turks.
Although the imperial pension is generous, for families like theirs, because there is no medical insurance, the imperial government does not care about them.
Care is indeed not enough.
"Anyway, let's treat the disease first." Tang Ping said, "How about we go to the city to find a better medical center and stay there for treatment?"
"No!" Gao Xiaohui said: "I also stayed in a hospital two years ago. Not only did my illness not improve, but it also cost a lot of money. Now I just hope that your bank will give you a good price to take over the property at home, so that grandpa can take care of himself. Spend this old age. As for me..."
Before Tang Ping could say anything more, Lao Cui's voice came from the headset: "Sir, a group of people have come, they should be from Daxingshan Temple."
"I know, don't come out yet." Tang Ping whispered, then looked at the Gao family's ancestors and grandsons and said, "The imperial court is sorry for the meritorious people. Our bank will be responsible for free treatment for your illness."
"Free?" The two of them had never heard of such a good thing in the world.
"Yes, free." Tang Ping said: "Our bank will soon open an insurance business, that is, you can use some money to buy insurance. When the time comes, your family will grow old, sick and die, or your house will be flooded, your cattle and sheep will be lost, or you will die of illness. Compensation can be paid for anything like that.”
"We originally planned to provide all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who sacrificed their lives for the country with medical insurance for their immediate family members. All the soldiers who died for the Tang Dynasty, and their families who meet you in a situation like yours, will be paid for by our insurance company treat."
The insurance business was originally planned to be launched after the banking business matured, but now in order to relieve the two of them of the burden, Tang Ping announced it in advance.
"This...this..." Old Man Gao was trembling and speechless.
Gao Xiaohui also said with some excitement: "I heard that grandpa came back yesterday and said that Tang Bank is publicly run by Ping Guo. Duke Ping Guo is really... really... such a good man. They say that Duke Ping is a man from heaven. Could it be him? Are they sent by the real Bodhisattva?"
"Hey, Gao Xiaohui, are you sick and confused? Do you even dare to arrange it for a Bodhisattva?"
With a "pop!", the courtyard door was kicked open by someone from outside.
Four strong men came in, glanced at Tang Ping and the others in the courtyard, and then moved out of the way to the middle aisle.
A man with a scar on his eyebrows finally walked out.
"Old Man Gao, Bodhisattva is compassionate and has repeatedly borrowed money to support your family and treat your sick girl. Are you not grateful at all?"
As he spoke, he touched it from his arms
Produced some land deeds: "I brought the land deeds for your six acres of land. If you pay back the money now, I will keep the land deeds and leave without saying a word."
"But if you don't pay back and go to borrow money from other places, these six acres of land and the crops on them will belong to me. I will take people to pull up the crops now."
"No!" Hearing what the visitor said, Old Man Gao became a little anxious: "Those crops will be ripe in half a month. If you pull them out now, won't there be nothing?"
"We agreed at the time that we would pay back the money after the autumn harvest. How could you... how could you cheat on us?"
"Hey... why are we cheating?" Duanmei raised his eyebrows: "Then we agreed at the time that you would only borrow money from us."
"Do you understand the spirit of the contract? It's you who broke the contract first. It's reasonable for us to say wherever we go."
He shook the land deed in his hand again: "Stop talking nonsense, if you have money, just redeem the land deed as soon as possible."
"Here, bring me the land deed!" Tang Ping took out a wad of money from his arms and said, "I'll give you the money, and give me the land deed."
Duanmei was stunned, the script was wrong!
Shouldn't Old Man Gao burst into tears and express that he had no money to repay, and then in order to treat the sick man, he had to mortgage the land deed of the last four acres of his family's land and borrow another sum of money?
"Boy, who are you?" Duan Mei waved his hand, and several strong men gathered around him: "I advise you to mind your own business."
"Me? I am Gao Jianli, a professional mage. I usually walk in the middle! This is the second uncle of my family. His business is my business. How can I be considered nosy?"
"What mage is in the middle?" A strong man wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Duanmei.
Duanmei looked at Tang Ping and said with a smile, "Could he be from Tang's Bank?"
Tang Ping smiled and said: "People from Tang Bank? No, I just came to see my second uncle and cousin."
"It doesn't matter." Duanmei put the land deed in his hand on the table aside: "Whether you are or not, I just want to say that you can't handle such things."
"You borrowed 20 guan from us at that time. Now as long as you pay back 26 guan, these land deeds will belong to you."
When Duanmei came out, it was mentioned above not to directly conflict with Tang Bank.
That's why he suspected that Tang Ping was from Tang Bank and was so easy to talk to.
