Chapter 779

There is no airtight wall in the world. The news of Mojia Village building a silver Treasury on Zhuque street soon spread. Moreover, for Mojia, the building of a silver Treasury is not a secret and is not hidden.

"It's said that it's the public loser who built the bank for the Mohist school." in Chang'an City, an idle man was proud of his gossip.

"Doesn't it mean that Mohism and Gongshu are feuds? How can they work together?" many people exclaimed at the news. The contradiction between Mohism and public losers is well known. How can we not surprise everyone that they have cooperated to build a silver treasury!

"Could it be that the public loser also defected to the Mohist school?"

"How could it be? It is said that the Mohist family spent a lot of money to invite public losers. Public losers are fools if they don't make money." the idle man sniffed.

"In the master's theory of Mohist school, it was once said that if you specialize in art, you can be a teacher. Public losers have always specialized in domineering mechanism technology. It is understandable that Mohist school asked public losers to build a bank for banks." a scholar thought.

"However, it can be seen that the Mohist School attached great importance to this bank. For this reason, he didn't repair the bank himself. Instead, he didn't hesitate to ask the public loser to build it to ensure the integrity of the bank."

"Others are banks, while Mojia village is a bank. It can be seen how rich Mojia village is!"

………………

Everyone sighed and wondered about the so-called bank one after another, and even inquired about the bank's news in every way.

With the continuous spread of a few words, the public loser's powerful mechanism skills, deep into the underground silver warehouse, and the gate weighing 100000 kg, each news surprised the people of Chang'an city.

Countless people look back at the place where they hide their money and can't help but feel speechless. For a long time, most of the money saved by ordinary people is buried in the earth and made a mark. When a rich family builds a treasure house, it has to be built very hidden for fear of being known. However, the Mohist family is good at building a treasure house, which is not only dignified, but also known all over the city, Lest you don't know that the money of Mojia village is hidden here.

"Money has not been revealed since ancient times. Has the world changed, or are they hiding money in the wrong way?" many people immediately asked the sky without words.

So far, the Bank of Mojia village has not been completed, it has been known all over the city.

"Husband, is this too publicity?"

The discussion of Chang'an City naturally spread to the Mo mansion. After hearing this, Princess Changle couldn't help worrying. Since ancient times, the world has been taboo about money, but Merton did the opposite. He even built the silver Treasury on rosefinch street, lest the world should not know.

Merton shook his head and said, "it is recognized by the world that Mojia village is rich, and it is impossible to hide it. It is better to admit it openly and generously than to hide it. This is also the reason why Mojia village publishes its financial statements every year."

"In addition, the bank is not only a factor to store the money of Mojia village, but also has great uses. Only when the bank takes root in Datang, that is the biggest opportunity for the revival of Mojia." Merton solemnly said.

"Should it be so important?" Princess Changle was surprised.

Merton nodded and said, "I wonder if the lady has ever heard of the breath of double calling."

"Double the breath!" Princess Changle thought for a moment and said, "this comes from the book of Han Dynasty food and goods annals: when those who have half Jia sell, and those who die take double the breath. It means taking one for two."

"Take one for two." Merton looked up and sighed, "that is, 100% usury. Mojia village controls the secret skills of Mojia, and the annual profit increases by only 50%. Take one for two, even if it is Mojia village, I'm afraid it will break its wrists and sell the industry to pay off."

"Ah!" Princess Changle said in surprise.

However, Merton said with a wry smile: "in fact, it's nothing to call the interest. As long as you are willing to break your wrist, you can still pay it back. My wife has heard of 'donkey rolling and usury'."

"Donkey roll usury?" Princess Changle shook her head blankly, not only donkey roll usury, I'm afraid no one even mentioned donkey roll in their ears.

"According to the donkey herders, donkeys have a natural habit of rolling. They usually roll on the ground after work in order to relieve fatigue and dry their sweat with dust. Another is to drive away mosquitoes and flies and relieve itching, but sometimes it is also used as play and play. When people lend money, it is stipulated that if they don't pay it when it's due, the interest will be doubled. When they go to Galilee, they roll more and more, such as The donkey rolls over, so it's named. This is also the most common method of borrowing in the Tang Dynasty. "Merton's voice is mixed with a trace of anger.

"I see. Doesn't that mean you have to pay back a lot of money?" Princess Changle said vaguely.

"A lot of money?" Merton shook his head and said, "no, it's the money he can't pay back all his life!"

Princess Changle looked at Merton puzzled.

Merton said in his heart, "no, if you and my husband and wife might as well play a little game that doubles a penny for a month, you must understand."

"Double a penny a month?" Princess Changle was very interested. It was the first time she interacted with Merton, and she couldn't help looking forward to it.

Merton nodded and said, "you give me a penny the first day, double it the next day, that is, two cents, and so on, for a full month."

"Why is it difficult? Here! This is a penny!" Princess Changle said playfully, took out a purse, took out a penny and put it in Merton's hand.

Merton accepted it impolitely and said, "what about the next day?"

"Give you two Wen!"

"The third day!"

"Four Wen!"

"The fourth day, the fifth day..."

At first, Princess Changle began to pay easily. However, when she gave it to her on the tenth day, her face gradually became heavy. At the moment, she can only calculate it with paper and pen.

"The twentieth day!"

"Five hundred and twenty-four, two hundred and eighty-eight Wen!" Princess Changle said in a trembling voice. She could not imagine that a penny had arrived, but such a terrible figure had arrived in twenty days.

"On the 21st day,......."

Every day Merton reported, Princess Changle's body trembled involuntarily.

"The thirtieth day!"

"536, 870 through 912 words." Princess Changle was sweating and looked at the figures in front of her with a frightened face. Fortunately, her arithmetic was OK and calculated, but such a huge figure was calculated from her hands, even if she calculated it three times in person, she believed this fact.

"That's more than 500 million dollars! If the daily interest rate of a penny is doubled and the donkey is used to roll profits, you will have to pay back more than 500 million dollars a month. Now you know the harm of donkey rolling. Anyone who borrows donkey rolling will never turn over, even in Mojia village." Merton said faintly.

"Then why should the world borrow such usury?" Princess Changle said with lingering fear.

Merton said bitterly, "some are desperate, some are lucky, and think they can return it. Of course, there are more people who don't understand the seriousness of it. Finally, they can only fall into the abyss step by step, their families are broken, their wives and children are separated, and there are several merchants who have business dealings with Mojia village alone, which ended in a tragic end."

"It's hateful that donkey rolling is so harmful!" Princess Changle hated it.

Merton nodded deeply: "this is also the reason why Weifu banned brothel gambling houses in Mojia village. These two industries are inextricably linked with usury."

If the three industries of brothel gambling house usury are allowed to enter Mojia village, I'm afraid the revival of Mojia village can only be empty talk. Now Mojia village has been expelled from brothel gambling house, and the bank is to do it by itself.

If Mohism wants to fully revive, it will take root and sprout a lot of ink technology in the Tang Dynasty. However, the carrier of ink technology development is a lot of large and small industries. As we all know, industry is the most capital consuming industry. Ordinary people have so much spare money to develop industry. Only banks can gather a lot of small money to support industrial construction.

The existing financial institutions in Datang are banks, which are usurers who eat people and drink blood. Once they borrow here, I'm afraid people will swallow their blood. It's not the help of Mohism, but the resistance. This is the reason why Merton tried his best to build a bank,

On the one hand, it is to raise funds for the construction of Mojia village, and to be a catfish in the financial industry of Datang. Once banks are popular in Datang, it will be the spring of Datang handicraft industry.

Princess Changle couldn't help looking at Merton proudly. The world was thinking about how to exploit others and earn money, while Merton looked further.

"But those husbands did not offend the usury profiteers." Princess Changle worried that she had not been a simple canary in the palace. Naturally, she knew that the usury profits were so rich that it was hard to imagine the wide implications behind it.

Merton solemnly nodded and said, "this time, Weifu has already thought of it, and Weifu has already thought of meeting Buddhism."

"Buddhism! Buddhism!" Princess Changle said in horror. She never thought that the usurer's profiteer was a benevolent Buddhist.

Merton is also incredible. When he decided to build the bank, he was destined to conflict with the banks. Naturally, he had to explore the details of these banks. However, to his surprise, the biggest makers behind the banks were those Buddhist temples.

Buddhism has the merit of Shaolin thirteen stick monks in saving the king of the Tang Dynasty. Although there is no Taoist scenery, it is also developing smoothly. Many Buddhist temples have strong incense and a lot of incense money. In addition, there are many Buddha fields under their name, so they don't have to pay taxes at all, and have accumulated a lot of wealth. Therefore, these monks lend the incense money donated by these believers to poor believers. If they fail to pay it within the time limit, It's ironic that the land under the believer's name will be used to offset the account.

Moreover, after such a cycle, the power of Buddhism has expanded rapidly. In addition, there are many Buddhist believers in secular officials. Although Buddhism is not one of the hundreds of schools of thought, it has already had the strength that is not inferior to Taoism and Confucianism.
