"Oh? Why don't you come and take a look?"
"My son, I want to borrow food!"
Liu Qi's voice was very soft.
However, as soon as these words came out, there was indeed a buzz of discussion all around.
Liu Qi was not impatient, he just stood there quietly.
"Um!"
Liu Biao nodded: "If you want to build a new Anmin City, the food, grass and property required will naturally not be enough!"
"How much do you need?"
Liu Biao spoke again.
"Ten thousand dendrobium!"
Liu Qi spoke again.
A handful of dendrobium here weighs about one hundred and fifty kilograms. Ten thousand dendrobium is equivalent to 1.5 million catties. This is enough to solve all the problems Jiangxia is encountering today.
But Liu Qi never thought that Liu Biao would actually give it.
Maybe he can actually get it.
However, if it were really taken out, even Xiangyang would be poor.
"This must never be done!"
At this time, Kuai Yue came out and said hurriedly: "My lord, although there is so much food in Jingzhou, if all of it is given to Mr. Qi, countless people in Jingzhou will starve to death!" "
Liu Qi took a step forward slowly.
Looking at Kuai Yue, he said calmly: "I am just borrowing food, not asking for food. By today next year, all the borrowed food will be returned and a certain amount of interest will be paid!"
"This is just Mr. Qi's one-sided statement!"
Kuai Yue was unmoved, shook his head and said, "What guarantee can Mr. Qi give that he will definitely pay back the food next year?"
"If I remember correctly, Jiangxia still owes a lot of food, right?"
Liu Qi just stood there quietly, neither humble nor arrogant!
"Yes, but none of this is what I owe. However, I will still pay back all the food owed by Jiangxia!" Liu Qi looked at Kuai Yue, and then continued: " It’s just that I need to get through the moment, so I want to borrow food from my father!”
"OK OK……"
Liu Biao waved his hand helplessly.
Then he continued: "You two should stop quarreling. Qi'er, my father has no objection to borrowing food. After all, you are building a new city and accepting refugees. This is a good deed, which will contribute to the world and benefit Jingzhou." However, even if I kill my father, I will not be able to provide these ten thousand bushels of food..."
After saying that, he burst out laughing.
"Then father, how much can you give?"
This is what Liu Qi was waiting for.
As the saying goes, if you want to open a window, other people may not agree, but if you tell them that you want to lift the roof, these people will agree to let you open a window!
This is the skill.
"A thousand dendrobiums!"
"As a father, I can lend Jiangxia a thousand hu of grain to ensure Jiangxia's daily needs. In addition, I will also lend Jiangxia stone and wood to help you build a new city. How about it?"
"However, these have to be returned next year!"
Liu Qi frowned slightly when he heard this.
Stone, wood, etc.
This is what the new city lacks today. This is the south and is located on the plains. Timber resources are still relatively scarce, especially tall trees, which have to be purchased.
"That's fine!"
After Liu Qi pondered for a moment, he nodded: "That's what Dependency said!"
"Slow down!"
At this time, Cai Mao came out and said with a smile: "Mr. Qi, my lord is very happy to borrow this food, but do we also need to calculate the interest?"
"..."
For a moment, both Liu Biao and Liu Qi were stunned.
His face looked a little ugly.
Cai Hao bowed to Liu Biao and said, "My lord, if I don't believe you, this matter is really too big."
"We still need to explain the details clearly first, so that we can save ourselves from pushing each other around!"
"What do you think, Master?"
Having said this, Cai Mao turned around and glanced at Liu Qi gloomily.
Liu Qi was silent for a moment.
Then he nodded slightly and said: "This is of course the right thing to do! Since it is a loan of grain, the interest should be calculated clearly. One thousand grains in one year, and today next year, I will pay back one thousand grains. Baihu, how about it?"
"hiss……"
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Whispering among themselves.
They could feel the confidence in Liu Qi, but they didn't know where this confidence came from.
"Sir, are you sure?"
"Of course I am convinced!"
Liu Qi nodded, and then continued: "Borrow one thousand, return one thousand one!"
"As for other wood, stone, etc." Liu Qi said again: "Today next year, the interest will still be calculated according to this proportion. If there is no wood or stone, it will be deducted from the price of food!"
"how?"
Liu Qi paused and looked at Cai Hao.
Cai Hao nodded: "Of course there is no problem, but what if Mr. Qi doesn't come by then? What should I do?"
"alright!"
At this time, Liu Biao shook his head and said, "Cai Mao, it's better to discuss such matters in private!"
"My lord, since Mr. Qi has already proposed it, we might as well finalize all the details to avoid any mistakes in time!" Cai Mao said with a smile.
