Jiang Yuanlong, from Zhangyan Village, Jinshan, is engaged in agricultural production to get rich. Most of the land and houses he bought were obtained through clever tricks, and he also used usury loans. When he saw that his land was fertile and his house was of good quality, he would wait for opportunities at any time. When they were short of money, he would try every means to lend them money. The interest rate was very heavy. Anyone who was unable to repay the interest at that time would count the interest as the principal. In this way, the profit would be profitable. If the time was long, he would be unable to repay it, so he would take the property for himself. By using this method, thousands of acres of land were occupied in twenty years.
Later, he gave birth to a son named Dezhang, who was not engaged in production or in charge of career. Just as he was twenty years old, he was addicted to gambling. Every time he went out, he always brought several land contracts as gambling funds. He often used this document to mortgage ten taels of silver. If he lost all gambling, he would sign the contract the next day. Some people deceived him and said, "You borrowed me fifty taels of silver yesterday. Did you forget it all night?" Jiang Dezhang didn't defend himself, so he wrote a contract to someone owed fifty taels of silver. When people saw that he was easily deceived, they tried to deceive him one after another. In less than ten years, their property was exhausted and they died.
There is a man named Zhou Shengzhang from Huangyanqiao Town, Danyang County. His family is originally from a small wealthy family. There was a year between Qianlong and the wheat harvest was good. Barley is sold for 200 yuan per stone. Shengzhang originally owned 100 acres of land, and naturally the harvest was more than others. Danyang and Jintan counties both use barley as their staple food. Shengzhang happened to receive several meetings this year (the meeting is a form of a private economic mutual assistance organization. The number of participants varies, each person distributes the same amount of funds, ranks well, and regularly takes turns to collect meetings to solve urgent problems.) is used to hoard barley, nearly 4,000 stones. The next year, it was in a great wasteland. The 2018-year-old 3 hrs were ripe, but the grains were not harvested, and the rice and wheat were expensive. Zhou Shengzhangfeng is not sold. In winter that year, the canal was shallow and vendors were blocked, so almost even the wheat seeds were cut off. Only the hoarding was accumulated in the Shengzhang Cang, so the people in the nearby villages came to ask for borrowing. Shengzhang refused to agree at first, and after asking for it again and again, he agreed to exchange one acre of land for one stone of wheat, which he also mixed with chaff . When the wheat was borrowed, the land contract had already filled a box and obtained 5,000 acres of land. Zhou Shengzhang was frugal and stingy by nature, and was good at hoarding things. However, over several years, he had more than 10,000 mu of land and accumulated money.
Thinking that he had no descendants, he tried every means to pray to the gods. He gave birth to a son in his late years. Because he was born at the age of 68, he named him Liuba. Zhou Shengzhang died before he was ten years old. Zhou Zuo grew up to 17 or 18 years old, treating money like dirt. Every time he goes out, he has to bring a lot of money and only goes home after using it. If there is nowhere to be available on this day, take it out and scatter it on the ridge of the field. At that time, the social warehouse law was being implemented. The method was (the local governments introduced the official warehouse rice to provide loans to hungry people. The loan period was not repaid until the winter, and a dou of interest per stone was calculated, and the following summer was borrowed. The loan was collected every year. If there was a small apology, the interest rate of was reduced by half; if there was a big apology, the interest rate of was exempted. This method would make people not short of food in the bad year.) , implementing the social warehouse law, it is necessary to elect wealthy households in a village to be responsible for lending and collecting loans. Everyone will recommend Saturday and August. People in the village deceived him with naivety and incompetence. Anyone who borrowed rice from the social warehouse colluded with each other and refused to repay it when it expired, so he had to make a lot of compensation every year. He himself likes to gambling and spends a lot of money. From then on, the family situation gradually declined. Later, I had to sell my property and even write a contract, so I engraved it on a plate. By the time he died, there was no room or acre left. When my father was the chief clerk in Danyang County, Zhou Liuba's son had no choice but to live in the county government. To this day, locals criticize prodigal sons as 68.
Zhao Yankui, a native of Caojing Town, Huating County, started his business in private salt , and ran rampant in the countryside and dominated the local area. There is a family named Yu in the Zhang family who is quite wealthy and has more than a dozen houses in Caojing. Zhao Yankui fell in love with these houses and wanted to get it. The Yu family had a only grandson, who was a young man, so Zhao instigated his son Zhao Song to go and lure him to gamble.He had no money, so he lent him dozens of thousands of dollars and asked him to write a contract to sell the house as collateral. In less than a year, Zhao took all the houses for himself, so he invested heavily in the construction and repairs, and was completed in April of the Gengxu year. It was tall, grand and magnificent, and actually became a wealthy and wealthy house.
In the autumn of that year, the government sentenced Zhao Yankui to behead him for trafficking in slander salt and urgently pursued him. Someone suggested that the government recruit pacification, but Zhao Yankui surrendered and acted as a police officer. In order to make contributions, he investigated and smuggled too fiercely, and his past accomplices became enemies. They actually got into trouble and demolished his newly built house. He exploited his gains for several years, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of rubble! Alas, what are the benefits you got!
These three short stories are truly:
It is not difficult to exploit wealth. In the past twenty years, thousands of fields have been
Have children and spend money like dirt. How can you be mean and rich for a long time?
It is time to flood and drought, and the stone millet can make you easier.
I have been in the middle of seventy years and have failed. It can be seen that people's calculations are reported by heaven.
