Chapter 117: The Matter of Money (Ask for the First Order)
After Wang Ji lightly came along with his own arrangements, Liu Shoubei, who was born in the Wang family, did not have any opinion and bowed, and agreed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But this Ma Governor's expression is a little interesting.
Wang Ji looked down on Ma Zhifu's expression and knew that the other party should still have some concerns, so she didn't speak, just picked up the teacup and glanced at Liu Cheng on the side. Ma Zhifu is an official, and she is a citizen. There are some things that she asks, but they are not appropriate.
"Master Ma," Liu Cheng, who received Wang Xi's hint, glanced at the prefect Master Ma, "I don't know what you mean by what you said to Miss Six?" ā
"Well," Ma Yuan, who had only woken up when he heard Liu Cheng's loud voice, coughed lightly a few times before re-opening.
"The lower officials don't know anything about the prevention and control of the epidemic, so naturally they should listen to your arrangement, Miss Six, and the lower officials have no objections in this regard. It's just, it's just this ........"
Halfway through speaking, Governor Ma seemed to be very embarrassed, and when he saw that several people in the room were looking at him, he was cheeky and had to continue gritting his teeth.
"It's just that according to your arrangement of Miss Six, not to mention anything else, only a few items of spirits, lime and medicinal materials, it costs a lot, and our Shanzhou is a poor place for the poor, and there is really not so much silver in this mansion."
Ma Yuan didn't want to be poor, but he couldn't help but be a hero with a penny, let alone a large amount of money needed to prevent and control the epidemic. The Shanzhou Mansion that he pastored is located in the northern Xinjiang, which is a serious military illness, and there are not many merchants, soldiers and civilians in the city, and the tax and silver obtained from this is naturally not as good as those rich places in the south of the Yangtze River.
I have been an official for many years, and it is not easy to save some money. Ma Zhifu called him poor on the face, but he also had his own little abacus in his heart. If you dry up your own family, this epidemic can't be controlled. When the people's anger is aroused, the court will definitely use itself as a scapegoat to make the people angry.
Once that time really comes, you will not be able to protect yourself, and you will probably fall to the ground. Ma Yuan also had to leave a way back for himself, if he didn't have the silver and lost his future, then he had worked hard for so many years as an official, but it would really be a waste of water.
"It turns out that it's because of the money that makes Master Ma so embarrassed." Wang Ji put down the teacup lightly and nodded thoughtfully.
As the saying goes, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. She didn't believe it, Master Ma, who had been an official here for many years, couldn't even take out these tens of thousands of taels of silver. I'm afraid this prefect doesn't want to dig out his own family.
"Let Miss Six and you laugh." Ma Zhifu still looked embarrassed, and he couldn't see half of the drama at all. In his opinion, who has been an official for many years, this miracle doctor fairy is just a little girl, where can he see his own thoughts.
At a young age, she has excellent medical skills, I'm afraid she is a little girl who doesn't understand human relations and doesn't understand the world's mundane affairs.
The more he thought about it, the more he got into the play, the more he seemed to really feel that the house was already surrounded by walls, and his face was sad and embarrassed.
The epidemic is urgent, Wang Ji saw Ma Yuan's appearance, I am afraid that she will not take out a penny, she smiled and nodded at Ma Yuan, as if she didn't understand anything. Fortunately, he didn't plan to let the prefect Ma pay the money.
She looked at the bright sky, and she didn't bother to deal with the other party anymore.
"When it comes to money, Master Ma doesn't have to worry about it. Since I have proposed this method of prevention and control, the silver taels required this time will naturally be provided by my family doctor. "The silver taels needed for this will come out of her own Wang family, this medical hall belongs to the Wang family, she said this, it is not a lie.
Wang Ji saw that after Ma Zhifu heard that she was willing to give money, she was overjoyed, and she didn't bother to watch him play again. The situation was urgent, and she didn't want to delay any longer, so Wang Ji got up lightly and rushed at Ma Yuan and Liu Chengfu before saying solemnly.
"The situation is urgent, please go out and arrange it quickly."
.................................................................................................
In a guest house in Shanzhou Garrison Mansion, at this time, the people in charge of the medical hall, medicinal herb store and silver village in the entire Shanzhou City are gathered.
These people who are also considered to have heads and faces in Shanzhou City on weekdays were pulled up from the bed by a few soldiers before dawn today, and they were sent to this garrison mansion without saying anything. At this time, everyone's hearts were a little drumming, and their faces couldn't help but be a little restless.
"Shopkeeper Wang, do you know which one you are singing today?" Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, there was no one in the garrison general's mansion to take care of himself and others. The uneasy crowd surrounded a middle-aged fat man with simple clothes and a thick face, and asked.
"How do I know that? Wang is also the same as everyone today, and was suddenly invited by Lord Liu. The king's shopkeeper in the mouth of the crowd hurriedly shook his head when he heard this.
"Shopkeeper Wang, you are the big shopkeeper of our Shanzhou City Qiantong Silver Village. Is there anything else you don't know about this Shanzhou city? The shopkeeper surnamed Wang Da Fat Man next to him shook their heads in disbelief.
Who doesn't know that the Wang shopkeeper of Qiantong Yinzhuang in Shanzhou City, Wang Da Fat was born in the Wang family of Jiangzhou, Jiangnan, and is inextricably linked with the garrison of Shanzhou City. If the big fat man didn't know about this, they would never believe it.
The shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart at this time, he knew that the merchants around him didn't believe what he had just said. But today's events, he really doesn't know.
When he was invited by the garrison in the middle of the night, he was still wondering. After coming to this garrison mansion, he also asked the little guy outside the door to meet the garrison Lord Liu. But the other party was not as enthusiastic as usual, and just asked him to wait here in a formulaic manner, without mentioning anything to report.
Things are really weird, could it be that something happened to this Liu Cheng? When the shopkeeper Wang thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked. The location of this Shanzhou is very important, and the Jiangzhou family attaches great importance to this place. Since the third prince left, he handed over this place to Liu Cheng and his guard. If something happens to this Liu Cheng, then I'm afraid......
The shopkeeper was uneasy here, but the people around him still didn't let him go, and asked him what happened today.
Just when a few people in the room were staring at the king's shopkeeper for a while, the arrival of a soldier from the garrison mansion happened to relieve the siege of the king's shopkeeper.
"The king's shopkeeper, our general is invited."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he wiped the cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead, bowed to everyone in the room, and walked out with his own soldiers.
As soon as the king's shopkeeper left, the rest of the people in the room immediately exploded.
"Hmph, I knew that this big fat man really knew. Who in this Shanzhou city doesn't know that he is the most kind-faced and black-hearted man! ā
"That is, you still lie to us and say you don't know? If he didn't know, why did this Lord Liu just invite him at this time? ā
"This fat man is ....... on weekdays"
...................................................................................................
Shopkeeper Wang, who had just stepped into the door of the study, did not see Liu Cheng, who was a guard who took care of him a lot on weekdays, but saw another acquaintance of his own, Shopkeeper Liu, who had just come from the capital not long ago.
These Liu Wang and Wang are both from the Jiangzhou Wang family, and they are people who are deeply trusted by the Wang family, so of course they know each other, and they are quite familiar with each other.
"Lao Liu, what's going on today?" As soon as the fat and faltering shopkeeper Wang entered the study, he asked the shopkeeper Liu. He was invited here in the middle of the night, but he was scared for a long time.
"Lao Wang, don't be rude." Shopkeeper Liu first slapped his old friend on his thick body, and then pulled him to the top of the study.
"Miss Six is here, you still don't salute." Shopkeeper Liu gave Wang Ji a light salute first, and then bowed to the shopkeeper Wang beside him.
"Miss Six?" In the suspicious eyes of the shopkeeper Wang, the girl above lifted the curtain on her head, smiled indifferently, and a pair of smart eyes flowed with kindness.
"Miss Six, it's really you." Since he was a child, he has been the shopkeeper of the third master of the Wang family, and before he came to Shanzhou, he could be regarded as an elder who watched this sixth lady grow up. At this time, he suddenly saw his own young lady, and under the great joy, his already fat body suddenly trembled with excitement, and the movement of this salute was a little unstable.
"Uncle Wang," Wang Ji got up lightly and helped him, and before he had time to say goodbye, he asked directly, "How much cash do we have in Shanzhou City?" ā
"Miss, how much silver do you want?" The honest and shrewd shopkeeper Wang on the outside remembered the businessman in the room just now, and naturally he could guess something in his heart.
Wang Ji nodded lightly, but did not speak, only glanced at the shopkeeper Liu next to him.
Just now he was arranged by his own lady to coordinate the supplies, and the shopkeeper Liu, who was calming the epidemic, told the ins and outs of the matter.
ā....... Lao Wang, that's probably the way it is. "This prefect Ma doesn't have a penny, doesn't this silver have to be paid by the young lady out of her own pocket!
"Miss Six," the shopkeeper Wang bowed after listening, and his face became serious.
"There is this silver, but according to the rules of the silver village, you still need to show the token." Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to do your own accounts, and you will not be able to explain to your family at the end of the year.
"It's nature." Hearing this, Wang Ji smiled and took off the jasper earrings in her ears.
"I won't make it difficult for you, Uncle Wang." (To be continued.) )
