In fact, no matter whether it is the first Xiongnu, the later Turks, or the current Khitan, they are still quite accomplished in diplomacy. They are not the image of reckless men that people imagine, doing things without saying a word.
Even the Jurchens later destroyed the Liao Kingdom through diplomacy.
In the early days of the founding of the Song Dynasty, during the period of Taizu Taizong, the purpose was to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the Liao State adopted the strategy of supporting Xixia to check and balance the Song Dynasty.
However, after the Chanyuan Alliance, the relationship between Liao and the Song Dynasty eased, and there was a conflict with Xixia. In the Li Yuanhao era, the diplomatic strategy changed to reducing support for Xixia and strengthening relations with the Song Dynasty.
However, Li Yuanhao was also very smart. With the successive victories over the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, he immediately improved the relationship with the two countries, thinking that he knew that the little Xixia could not fight against the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty at the same time.
In the post-Li Yuanhao era, the Liao Kingdom saw the Song Dynasty taking frequent actions and Xixia showing weakness, so it adjusted its policy and began to support Xixia, but at the same time maintained a close relationship with the Song Dynasty.
Try to let the Song Dynasty lose its national power on the land of Xixia, thereby maintaining the Liao Kingdom's advantage over the two countries.
Why the Song Dynasty couldn't destroy Xixia, it really doesn't mean that it can't win. After all, the national power can crush Xixia, and consumption can kill Xixia. This is because as long as the Song Dynasty sends a large-scale army to Xixia, the Liao Kingdom will inevitably mobilize heavy troops on the border and go south at any time.
However, since most of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were in the hands of the Liao State, the Song Dynasty had to hoard heavy troops for defense, which required a lot of financial expenditure.
At the same time, there was also the consumption of Sui coins on the Song Dynasty's finances.
The Song Dynasty would never be able to attack Xixia with all its strength. No matter whether it started a war or not, it would always face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.
This time the Song Dynasty made such a big move in Xihe, how could the Liao Kingdom watch helplessly as the Song Dynasty slowly encircled and suppressed Xixia? It was necessary to send people to take some action.
The disaster situation has just eased a bit, otherwise, Zhao Xu really suffered from depression, and when something went wrong, everything would come to him.
What a mess.
But even so, Zhao Xu still felt very stressed. The key was that the Xihe area was still at war, and the outcome was unknown at the moment.
Zhang Fei also felt the pressure Zhao Xu was under, so he said: "Your Majesty, between countries, we cannot hope that Liao will show great kindness, or that thinking of old feelings, allowing us to destroy Xixia, others would do the same Do it, this has nothing to do with morality, only with interests.
Therefore, I have always suggested that Your Majesty must be prepared to deal with both countries at the same time in case of emergencies, but we must also use diplomatic mediation to try to avoid our military fighting on two fronts. "
Zhao Xu nodded slightly and asked: "Then how do you think I should respond?"
"Strong."
Zhang Fei said: "Whether it is externally or internally, Your Majesty should be more powerful now, otherwise, you will be attacked from both sides and front like three months ago. Anyway, Your Majesty has decided to switch to defense on the Western Front, and has no plans to attack Xia now. , then there is no need to worry too much about the Liao Kingdom taking advantage of the fire, we will put out the fire ourselves first."
Zhao Xu nodded and said: "You are right. Fortunately, I listened to your suggestion. Otherwise, we would be controlled by the Liao Kingdom again. However, don't talk about this matter for the time being. This is currently from the Imperial City Division. They don’t know the news yet, lest those people get lucky again and cause trouble for disaster relief.”
Zhang Fei nodded, "I understand."
After talking with Zhao Xu, Zhang Fei came out of the palace and got on his carriage. With a slight smile on his lips, he said to himself: "If a system has not experienced the tempering of war, it must be It won’t be stable.”
Li Si outside the car suddenly said: "Third brother, where are we going now?"
Zhang Fei said: "Go home."
"yes."
After a while, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's up?"
Zhang Fei opened the curtain and saw an inspector standing beside the carriage.
"Prosecutor Zhang, Chief Prosecutor Xu wants you to go to the prosecutor's office."
"I know."
When I arrived at the procuratorate, I saw Xu Zun and Lu Dian sitting inside.
"Prosecutor Zhang is here."
Lu Dian stood up and bowed.
Zhang Fei bowed his hand in return and asked, "What happened?"
Xu Zundao: "That's right. Recently, those students discovered that some officials were taking advantage of the disaster to take bribes."
Zhang Fei was surprised: "Really?"
Lu Dian said: "Prosecutor Zhang, it is very common for someone to fish in troubled waters during a disaster."
"I know." Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I'm just surprised that those corrupt officials were a little too arrogant and didn't cover up, and they were found out by a few chicks. This is what I remember. Corrupt officials are different!”
"Well."
Lu Dian was speechless.
Xu Zundao: "Don't worry about these things for now. The key is that there are many contradictions in the punishment of corrupt officials. The main reason is that every previous monarch has issued edicts in response to this situation. Some are very loose and only demote. But some are very strict and require death penalty treatment. If there is only one person, it will be easier for us to make a decision, but when there are more people, we must act in a standardized manner."
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said: "Our procuratorate should be stronger and prosecute with the strictest punishment. The death penalty is the death penalty. Anyway, the final judgment is not our procuratorate. In this way, we can force the Legislative Council to legislate on this."
Xu Zun's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "This is a good idea."
Suddenly, a civil servant came to the door and said, "Prosecutor Zhang, Mr. Wang is here. He said he has something to ask you."
"Why are there so many things going on today?"
Zhang Fei muttered softly.
Xu Zundao: "Go and see what's going on first. We'll talk about this later."
"yes."
"I came to you today because I want to ask your opinion on something."
Wang Anshi got straight to the point.
Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"
Wang Anshi said: "It's about coal."
"coal?"
"Um."
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "According to the observations of the Third Division and the Ministry of Household Affairs, we found that coal has become scarce recently, but usually this situation only occurs in late winter. The reason for all this is because of business prosperity."
Zhang Fei suddenly remembered that Hou Donglai had also said this, nodded and said, "I've heard about it too."
Wang Anshi said: "If business becomes more prosperous in the future, the demand for coal will definitely increase a lot."
Zhang Fei said: "Does Master Wang want to control coal?"
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "Although many coals are currently mined by merchants and gentry, in fact, according to the system, Shanze fishery belongs to the imperial court.
During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, a high tax was levied on coal. As a result, the amount of coal coming to the capital dropped sharply. Taxation was not feasible and the only option was for the state to mine it itself. "
The country will earn this money, so get out of here.
Zhang Fei said: "But the salt review system has told us that mining by ourselves will only breed corruption."
Wang Anshi said: "Aren't you under the supervision of the public prosecutor and the law?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Tell Bachelor Wang a little secret. We have discovered that during this disaster relief process, many people were fishing in troubled waters and taking bribes."
Wang Anshi was shocked and said: "Seriously?"
Zhang Fei said: "At present, they are just some petty officials and officials."
Wang Anshi frowned.
Your sister.
Taking advantage of the disaster to commit corruption, you just don’t give me, Wang Anshi, face!
Zhang Fei added: "What I want to say is that people die for money and birds die for food. The public prosecutor and the law cannot suppress their inner greed."
Wang Anshi asked: "Then what do you suggest?"
Zhang Fei said: "Same as Jiuqu, it is funded by the state and cooperates with businessmen to mine it, but it must be fully led by the businessmen. As for taxes, you must pay them, but they are also collected from profits. All taxes and other gains are exempted. , This can reduce the cost of coal mining and promote business prosperity."
Wang Anshi nodded.
It was not long after nightfall.
Han Mansion.
"Your Majesty."
With the support of his son, Han Qi slowly walked out of the back hall and was a little surprised when he saw the young man sitting in the hall.
The person who came was none other than the emperor.
The emperor suddenly came to his home, and it was still at night. This was really scary.
Han Qi thought, he also took out all the food from my family. I have been very low-key recently!
Seeing Han Qi, Zhao Xu immediately stood up, stopped Han Qi who was about to salute, and asked with concern: "How is Mr. Han's health?"
Han Qi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is concerned about me. My health is better than before, but this stubborn disease is difficult to cure!"
Zhao Xu said: "Xiangong Han must take good care of his health. I still need Xianggong Han's assistance."
Han Qi chuckled and said: "Nowadays, our dynasty is full of talented people, and each rising star is more powerful than the last. There is no need for aging anymore."
"That's not the case." Zhao Xu shook his head.
Han Qi was stunned for a moment, then said to his son: "Go back to the house first."
"yes."
Han Zhongyan bowed to the emperor and left.
After Han Zhongyan left, Zhao Xu informed Han Qi about the Liao envoy.
Han Qi sighed after hearing this, "To be honest with your Majesty, this matter was expected by me, and it is also the main reason why I opposed the extension of Xihe's border."
Zhao Xu said: "But if Xixia is not destroyed, the Song Dynasty will always be controlled by the Liao Kingdom. Don't you think Xianggong Han is useless?"
Han Qi was silent.
Zhao Xu said anxiously: "There are only two of us, the monarch and my minister, here. If you have anything to say, Mr. Han, you might as well say it directly."
Han Qi sighed, "Actually, how could the veteran know His Majesty's concerns? In fact, Fu Yanguo also knew it very well. However, since the Chanyuan Alliance, Hebei's military equipment has been weakened and its morale has been disorganized. It is no match for the Liao Army. If If we start a war, we will definitely lose, and we can only defend ourselves with the Imperial Guards."
"What?"
Zhao Xu couldn't help being shocked and said excitedly: "Since Mr. Han knew this, why didn't he strengthen military training when he passed through Hebei?"
Han Qi just sighed: "The old minister is incompetent and has disappointed your majesty."
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment and said: "Mr. Han, don't sigh for now. I want to know why."
Han Qi glanced at Zhao Xu, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Since the Chanyuan Alliance, military officials such as Ma Zhijie, Cao Wei, and Wang Deyong were squeezed out. After that, there was no war for decades, and all military equipment was useless. , the soldiers have long lost their fighting spirit and have no strength to fight, just like the Qingping Army on Jingdong East Road. And Hebei's finances are also exhausted by the flood."
Is it the Qingping army that can even threaten grass bandits?
Zhao Xu felt dizzy for a while.
Thinking of this, he felt itchy with hatred.
Han Qi added: "Currently, the only effective army in our country is the Western Army. Once the Western Army is held back by Xixia, it will be unable to defend the Liao Kingdom from moving south."
His tone was filled with despair.
Neither he nor Fu Bi is actually that kind of cowardly person. Many people just look at the historical results and always feel that they are too worried, but in fact they are not.
Fu Bi was very strong in diplomacy towards the Liao Kingdom, and would rather die than give up an inch of territory. But when it came to going to war, Fu Bi was firmly opposed to it.
The reason is very simple, that is, they are too aware of the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army.
Can't beat it!
But it was not easy for them to tell the emperor clearly about this kind of thing, because it involved the entanglement of interests between the emperor and military generals, and between civil servants and military generals.
After the Chanyuan Alliance, the main peace faction gained the upper hand, and all the generals who could fight were ostracized, which was considered a self-defeat in martial arts.
But if we don't suppress the generals, we are afraid of repeating the situation of the Tang Dynasty's Jiedushi.
They are actually very helpless.
If Han Qi hadn't completely left the government and the public, and the emperor himself came to visit, he wouldn't have made it so clear.
After coming out of Han's house, Zhao Xu looked up and sighed. After a while, he called the guard beside him and said, "Send someone to Jingdong East Road immediately to see how the Royal Police are trained there. If the training is good, , let the palace commander go to Hebei to train the Royal Police."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Zhao Xu had always been hesitant before and had never expressed his position on the warehouse tax. He still left himself some room, which meant that he kept the option of going to war with Xixia. But now that the Liao envoy came and Han Qi's advice, he If they give up completely, the Western Front must adopt a more conservative strategy, develop domestically first, and concentrate on dealing with the threat of the Liao Kingdom.
The next day, he suddenly issued an order to Zongzheng Temple, stating that in the future, if any relatives of the clan evade taxes, they will all be handed over to the Public Security Bureau for trial.
This of course includes warehouse tax.
This was also the first time that Zhao Xu expressed his attitude, and he directly attacked the relatives of the clan. His attitude was very tough.
At this critical moment, he must be strong.
Two months ago, when he hesitated slightly, internal forces began to put pressure on him in all aspects. When it comes to dealing with the Liao Kingdom issue, if there is another internal agitation, he will face double internal and external pressure.
This matter has been decided first and cannot be changed. Don't take any chances.
Of course, the reason why the clan is attacked is also for financial reasons. How can we fight a war without money.
This time he was really cruel.
As soon as he was cruel, the powerful people gave up immediately, and did not do what he thought. Each family kept five hundred dan to live on, and sold all the rest.
Warehouse tax?
Impossible to hand over.
It is impossible to make friends in this life!
Why!
Fifty percent, why don't you go grab it.
After a lot of confusion in the early stage, the Ministry of Industry finally issued a relatively complete plan, which determined that consolidating the river channel would be the first priority, followed by the construction of the official offices of the Public Security Bureau, and finally, the construction of water conservancy projects.
Because water conservancy projects require on-site investigation, but the victims cannot afford to wait. They need to obtain livelihood immediately, so this is implemented last.
Southern suburbs.
Three old men, Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongzhu, and Sima Guang, came to the suburbs to inspect the people's situation.
At first glance, there are still crowded food teams on the road.
"How many days have passed, why is there still so much food on the road?"
Sima Guang couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "You have to ask Uncle Hui about this. I heard that his family's food has not been shipped out yet."
"Please also ask Wen Gong to show your noble hand."
Lu Gong cupped his hands and said: "Many people estimate that the grain in their warehouses is at least equivalent to a year's harvest in the capital. If it is released at the same time, it will definitely not be finished in a short time."
One year? Sima Guang shook his head when he heard this, and said: "But I never expected that this warehouse tax could be implemented so smoothly."
He used to think that if there was no shortage of good laws, then there would be a lack of execution, so he couldn't do it. When the warehouse tax first came out, he thought it was absolutely impossible, but he didn't expect it, and he actually got it, even though there were twists and turns in the middle. But it also exceeded his expectations.
Lu Gong said: "To be honest, this warehouse tax is actually not excessive. It just allows you to take out the grain and sell it. In our Gyeonggi area, how can the grain not be sold and there is no commercial tax? If it is a little bit If it goes too far, it will definitely not be implemented.”
Sima Guang nodded slightly, knowing in his heart that this was all Zhang San's credit. His bills always hurt people, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Unlike Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi, they all wanted to push the pole to the end, but they all ended in failure.
While talking, he suddenly heard a noise coming from in front of him, and the three elders raised their eyes to look.
Wen Yanbo was slightly surprised, "When will there be an additional town here?"
But in front of me there were numerous thatched sheds, wooden sheds, and several buildings standing among them, which looked like a small town.
Lu Gong wrote: "This is the headquarters of the Royal Police in the southern suburbs. It happens that rivers are still being built nearby, so there are a large number of workers working nearby. Now their food, clothing, housing and transportation all cost money, so more and more people Traders come here to do business.”
Wen Yanbo nodded and said: "It seems that there have been many more traders and craftsmen recently. In a year of disaster, this is really extremely rare."
Lu Gong wrote: "It is not only rare, it has never happened before. This does not look like a disaster."
Sima Guang said: "But no imperial court sent millions of dollars to provide relief when the disaster first spread. This is only temporary. When the people go home to farm, these traders will also disappear. Moreover, the tax revenue in the disaster area this year is estimated to be There will be a sharp decrease, because all the money collected is tax money, and the financial burden will definitely be heavier next year."
Lu Gong wrote: "But the three envoys made it very clear at the hearing that the imperial court issued a thousand guan, and it can produce tens of thousands."
Sima Guang said: "Even if you pull out tens of thousands of dollars, the profit will not be that much. The money can only be transferred around so much."
Wen Yanbo also nodded and said: "Junshi is right. In the final analysis, this is all caused by the money given by the court. There will definitely be a lot of financial pressure next year."
Why is it so prosperous during a disaster? It’s all about money. The capital alone has to spend hundreds of thousands of consumers. Can this business not be prosperous?
The key wages are not low.
The fault must still be the imperial court.
But what they didn't expect was that output was also increasing. Because the number of consumer groups increased, output had to keep up. This was the extra wealth.
While they were talking, they arrived at the "small town", and suddenly a prosecutor and four royal policemen went straight to the temporary disaster relief department.
But after a while, they saw a middle-aged man in official uniform walking out.
what's the situation?
Is it that silky smooth?
Wen Yanbo and the others looked at each other.
The ones who were brought out were not officials, but officials, even though they were the lowest-level ones.
Wen Yanbo quickly shouted: "What's the matter?"
The official seemed to recognize Wen Yanbo and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Wen, help me! This official has been wrongly accused."
The prosecutor and the four royal policemen also realized who the old man was and hurriedly raised their fists and saluted.
"No need to be polite."
Wen Yanbo asked again: "What happened?"
The prosecutor said: "If I tell Mr. Wen, this person is involved in embezzlement of disaster relief funds."
"Yeah?"
Wen Yanbo couldn't help but be surprised. This was really a crime committed against the wind.
The official tried his best to explain: "Don't believe me, Mr. Wen. The Accounts Department is keeping an eye on this. Even if I have ten courages, I wouldn't dare to do this."
The prosecutor said: "You did not commit corruption directly, but we found that there was a difference of more than 20 places between the job recruitment list and the actual jobs. Now those people have all been arrested by us, and they all testified that you arranged it."
Wen Yanbo immediately realized that one hundred pennies a day and twenty heads meant two guans a day and 60 guans a month. For petty officials like them, it could also improve their lives and said: "I just casually Ask, you should take him for interrogation immediately.”
When the official heard this, his face turned pale.
After they left, Wen Yanbo sighed: "With the power of the police, prosecutors and law, they still dare to fish in troubled waters. This person's greed is really terrifying!"
Lu Gongzhu said: "I guess this was normal in the past, and they didn't expect that the public prosecutor would investigate such a trivial matter."
As the two of them were talking, they suddenly saw Sima Guang put his hands into his sleeves and looked nervous.
Wen Yanbo asked: "Jun Shi, why are you so uneasy? Doesn't this matter have anything to do with you?"
Sima Guang said hurriedly: "I am worried that in other places, if such a large amount of money is thrown out, many people will take risks. Qi Xiye and the others will be able to handle it."
This is the largest expansion since the emergence of the Public Security Bureau.
However, as the vanguard of the Royal Police, things went relatively smoothly.
It’s really interesting to say, thanks to Wang Anshi and Qingmiaofa.
Since the disaster, the Qingmiao Law has become a lifeline for the people, and officials dare not take it away. They can only force the people to lose their lives.
As soon as Ma Xiaoyi and Fu Shichun arrived, they immediately suspended Qingmiaofa's debt collection, which immediately won the people's trust.
It can be said that it is effortless.
Xuzhou.
The police station that had just put up its signboard immediately became bustling with activity.
I saw a group of landowners sitting in the police station pounding the table, and a group of old farmers standing nearby with their heads hanging down.
The Young Crops Law is only second, the key is private loan sharking.
The Royal Police has set up a persona to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people. People who are forced to pay debts come to the Royal Police for help.
The Royal Police now have no time to worry about the disaster and are dealing with debt problems all day long.
Fu Shichun suddenly walked out of the back room and asked the civilian police: "Have you recorded everything?"
"Everything has been recorded." The policeman nodded.
"stop fighting!"
Fu Shichun stopped the big landowners who were complaining and said: "Our police station does not have the power to judge, and currently the government does not have the power to make judgments. We have to wait for the imperial court and the procuratorate to come before making a decision."
A gentle young man said: "But Mr. Fu, the loan contract has expired. If it continues, the interest will only be higher."
Another rich man with a sinister face stood up and said, "We can wait for the imperial court, but the interest must be calculated."
The landowners here are not afraid of the Public Security Bureau at all. This is all thanks to Su Shi. Su Shi came here to build the Public Security Bureau, but was ruined by these officials and landlords.
Fu Shichun smiled slightly and said: "You can do all the calculations, don't worry, but in the meantime, don't bother them anymore. If there is any harm to others, the interest may not be enough to compensate."
"Okay, Master Fu said so, we have to give him this face. Please do everything."
"It's your job."
"Farewell."
"Everyone, walk slowly."
After all these people left, a royal police officer said: "Master Fu, those court presidents and prosecutors are moving very slowly. If this continues, the interest will not be doubled."
Fu Shichun said: "When you are free, read more about the law and don't embarrass our Royal Police."
The royal policeman suddenly looked confused.
Another royal policeman said: "Old Liu, have you forgotten that we have to calculate according to the precedent of prosecutor Zhang? The interest is more than double. If it is judged according to law, the interest must be reduced by at least three-quarters. Even if the farmer If you can’t pay it back, you can still pay it back in installments.”
Fu Shichun ignored them, called one of his cronies over, and whispered: "You will make another copy later and send it to the Taxation Department."
"As commanded."
On the surface, the royal police were the first to arrive, but in fact the tax department was the first to arrive. They have been operating here for a year.
You also need to pay taxes on loan sharks!
Suddenly I heard a noise outside.
A royal policeman immediately stood up and said: "Chief Ma is back."
"It seems that today's harvest is not small!"
The royal policemen inside the house immediately came out, and saw Ma Xiaoyi and a group of other royal policemen pressing more than ten big men into the courtyard.
"Squat down!"
"Squat down for me, all of you. You are just trying to show off your skills and imitate others to collect fees. You are really ignorant."
Ma Xiaoyi kicked one over and strode towards Fu Shichun in front of the door.
Fu Shichun walked over and asked, "What happened?"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "They say they are strongmen on the river. People have to pay them when they go to the river to fish. Now it is even more outrageous. During the drought, people have to pay them when they go to the river to get some muddy water."
As he spoke, he whispered again: "I heard there is a rich man behind them."
Fu Shichun nodded and said with great relief: "I didn't expect that there are so many good people in Xuzhou. The bonus of our police station is now entirely maintained by them."
There is a special case in the Public Security Bureau, that is, if you have just arrived at a place, if you have not committed any major criminal case, you will not be punished too severely. You will either have to work or pay a ransom.
Everywhere Ma Xiaoyi goes, he must first deal with the strong men on the road and stretch his muscles. Now the morale of the Royal Police is high, and there are quite a few people. Compared with the few people who went to Hezhong Mansion, this time Ma Xiaoyi directly brought them with him. The five thousand royal policemen who went south can be said to be the most powerful armed force in the Song Dynasty besides the Western Army.
It's not that the Royal Police are so talented that they can fight against the regular Liao army. It's that the Forbidden Army's combat effectiveness is so bad that even bandits like Wu Tian can threaten the Forbidden Army.
It's not that people are incompetent, but that they have no spine. There is a saying that it is better to die than to live. What can I gain by fighting Wu Tian.
However, the Royal Police can get promoted and get bonuses if they work hard against the robbers, so they are all very hard-working. The first batch of Royal Police are almost all at the sergeant level.
All the royal policemen are rushing to go south because it is too difficult to get promoted in the capital and there is almost no room for promotion. After going south and making meritorious services, they will be the chief constables in the two regions of Guangdong, Hunan and Guangdong.
Originally, when this disaster came, the world was in chaos, and there were thieves and strongmen everywhere. However, as soon as the Royal Police arrived, they were immediately wiped out. The strongmen were arrested in groups, and the rogues on the street disappeared completely. Lost fighting spirit.
I really can’t beat him!
Subsequently, the imperial court, public prosecutor and law arrived in Xuzhou.
The trial of cases squeezed by the police station began immediately.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are more than ten or twenty cases a day, because there is no need to judge or use your brain. You can just follow Zhang Fei's precedent in Hezhong Mansion.
Exactly the same.
Don't be too relaxed.
Because of ancient disputes, there was only so much going back and forth, and no new tricks could be played.
Of course the landlord was very unhappy, so he just reduced the interest rate and paid in installments. The key thing is that during the installment period, the interest rate was not increased. This would be bullying, right?
Yes.
what do you want?
Ma Xiaoyi and the others have been practicing in Hezhong Mansion for several years, and they are already familiar with this situation.
No panic at all.
