Long Xiao recovered the stolen 6 million taels of silver tickets, and Li Chengcheng, the owner of the Red Pavilion, was very grateful, so he proposed that he only needed 2 million taels, and the remaining 4 million taels would go to Long Xiao, and Long Xiao was also reluctant to go, so he proposed that half of the family gave Li Chengyun 3 million taels, and he took 3 million taels, and Long Xiao wanted to set up a team dedicated to guarding the property of merchants. Pens, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info please search! The fastest updated novel of 3 million taels is nothing for me, and there is a lot of gold in my family, just 3 million taels of silver, and Long Xiao really has no money. If you take out these 3 million taels and set up a guard team in the county seat, it will play a big role in the safety of the fetish county.

Long Xiao was thinking about it, and Yuan Yichen, the magistrate of the county, came to the door, and when he saw Long Xiao's face, he gave Long Xiao a big high hat: "Lord Long, you are the lucky star of the people of the county, such a big case, you didn't solve it in a month, I really admire you so much, I have a treat today, how about it, get drunk." Long Xiao didn't know what Zhixian meant, but when he saw that Zhixian personally invited him, he also felt very face-saving, so he agreed. Yuan Yichen did not go to the restaurant outside, but set up a meeting at home, called the four famous Dans of the Red Pavilion, and also called a table of dishes from Jufengtang, the most famous restaurant in the county, to congratulate Long Xiao in person.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Yuan Zhixian began to cry poor: "Lord Long, I can't compare with you, there are thousands of looms in your home, and millions of silver will be given to you every year, I am different, my family is three generations of farmers, that is, I was admitted to the Jinshi, and I waited in the capital for three years to get such a real shortage, but after I came, I found that there are more places to spend money, not only the prefect, but also the governor, there are salt roads, grain roads, rivers, and school politics, All these aspects cost money, and I only have a few dozen taels of silver this year, where can I do this";

"If nothing else, it's my master, it's 1,000 taels of silver every year, and the top has to be dotted, and the bottom has to be spent, how can this be a good teacher?" Long Xiao understood as soon as he heard it, this was the county magistrate crying poor, that is, asking for silver from himself, Long Xiao didn't know how much the county needed, so it was not good to speak rashly, so he asked: "Lord Yuan, I understand what you mean, do you still have a little deficit, how much do you need, you say it, let's discuss it again", Yuan Yichen's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Lord Long, you solved the case this time, I heard that the boss of the Red Pavilion took out 3 million taels to thank you, how are you going to spend this part of the silver?" ”。

When Long Xiao heard this, his feelings were greedy for the 3 million taels, so he told the truth: "Lord Yuan, I think the security in the county is not good enough, I want to use the 3 million taels of silver to set up a public security team, which is under the management of the county yamen, to improve the security situation in Shenwu County, don't you object?" ”。 Yuan Yichen: "That's the case, that's a pity, this money is not public, nor is it personal, it was obtained by you from solving the case, I am going to enter the public account, are we dividing it?" ”。 Yuan Yichen finally said his thoughts, and Long Xiao was stunned: "Lord Yuan, how do you say it?" Yuan Yichen pondered for a moment and said a number: "That's it, this money is what you got in exchange for your life, you have 2 million taels, and I have 1 million taels, how about it?" ”。

The ship is not far away

Yuan Yichen listened to it coldly, his face was tight, and he was very displeased: "Lord Long, this silver, you just spent it on the security of Shenwu County, a few people said hello, besides, even if it is to say hello, what's the use, you still don't do the same as your county?" I'll tell you the truth, I took 1 million taels just to take care of the ministry, I want to do a bigger official position, maybe this magistrate is yours. This business is very cost-effective, you helped me this time, if I can get a higher official position, I will recommend you to be the magistrate of Shenwu County, how about it? ”。 As soon as Long Xiao heard this, he had an idea: "Lord Yuan, since you said this, I will help you once, as for whether I can be a county magistrate, it is secondary, but I am very interested in whether you can improve, so let's do it, I will give you 1 million taels, I wish you your wish as soon as possible."

Long Xiao felt that this Yuan Yichen was simply too greedy, since he took office, he lent him 10,000 taels of silver, and he has never mentioned returning it until now, not only increased the silver consumed by the fire to 60,000 taels, but also gave him 200,000 taels of silver every year, which is not counted, as long as there is a lawsuit, Yuan Zhixian will not be rude, and the people of Shenwu County will not be very good to Zhixian. Long Xiao felt that it would be good to think of a way to send this plague god away. Seeing that Yuan Zhixian openly asked for a bribe from himself, and it turned out to be 1 million taels, Long Xiao couldn't help but have an idea: "Yuan Zhixian, this 3 million taels of silver is what I went to arrest Jiang Yang thief to get back, it can be said that I have the right to decide on this 3 million taels of silver, since you want this silver, you need to give me a sufficient reason, otherwise, I will not give it to you."

When Yuan Yichen heard this, his face tightened, and he was very displeased: "Lord Long, this silver, you just spent it on the security of Shenwu County, a few people said hello, besides, even if it is to say hello, what's the use, don't you still do the same as your county?" I'll tell you the truth, I took 1 million taels just to take care of the ministry, I want to do a bigger official position, maybe this magistrate is yours. This business is very cost-effective, you helped me this time, if I can get a higher official position, I will recommend you to be the magistrate of Shenwu County, how about it? ”。 As soon as Long Xiao heard this, he had an idea: "Lord Yuan, since you said this, I will help you once, as for whether I can be a county magistrate, it is secondary, but I am very interested in whether you can improve, so let's do it, I will give you 1 million taels, I wish you your wish as soon as possible."

Long Xiao gave Yuan Yichen 1 million taels, and Yuan Yichen got the 1 million taels, so he took out 500,000 taels and went to the capital to make some points. Long Xiao used the remaining 2 million taels to deposit the silver in the bank, and agreed that the interest would be 5% per year, which would be 100,000 taels of silver per year. Long Xiao asked Zhang Cheng to recruit 1,000 kung fu people to patrol the county town with a monthly salary of 3 taels of silver, referred to as soap officials, and recruited 2,000 patrol people in the county's 1,000 villages according to the size of the village, with a monthly remuneration of 2 taels of silver. In this way, the security of the county has improved all of a sudden, especially in the county seat, almost every street and alley has soap officials patrolling, not to mention thieves, but there are no fights.

Yuan Zhixian took 500,000 taels of silver and came to the capital, first of all, he spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy off the master of the Ministry of Shangshu, introduced by the master, submitted his resume to Lord Shangshu, and gave Lord Shangshu 300,000 taels, and 190,000 taels to open up other joints. So far, there have been two magistrates in Shenwu County who have been transferred, and they are all so rich that they have attracted the attention of the officials. Yuan Yichen was transferred, and the appointment of the new magistrate became a problem for the officials.

Originally, everyone knew that Shenwu County was a poor county, and those who came to take office were all alternate officials, and generally no one wanted to go, so it was the turn of the alternate officials to take office. However, in the past few years, the two magistrates of Shenwu County have come to the capital with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials have spread. It is said that Shenwu County is a good place to make a fortune, so it has become a problem for those who come to Shenwu County to take over.

As a result, the issue of going to Shenwu County to take over became a sweet spot in the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials spread the word that without 50,000 taels of silver, they would not be able to go to Shenwu County to take over. Most of the alternate officials were admitted by some poor people, and they couldn't come out with 50,000 taels of silver at all, but those who could come to Shenwu County to take over were not Jinshi or could not get them, and this became a problem.

There was no new successor, so Yuan Yichen had no choice but to return to Shenwu County, waiting for a successor to replace him at any time. This provided Yuan Yichen with time, and he began to collect money frantically. First took out a few years of fire consumption silver in advance, that is, 60,000 taels, and discussed with Long Xiao, and also mentioned the 200,000 taels of silver for the magistrate, Yuan Yichen discussed with Ximenqing, and the cooperative pharmacy and Qinglou Pavilion advanced 60,000 taels in advance. Ximenqing thought that the county was short of silver, so he generously gave Yuan Yichen 100,000 taels, if he knew that Yuan Yichen was about to be transferred, Ximenqing would not be so generous, but it was a pity that Ximenqing's 100,000 taels of silver. In this way, Yuan Yichen looted 360,000 taels at once, plus the original 500,000 taels, there were 860,000 taels, plus he still had some family funds, there were 1 million taels of silver, Yuan Yichen had only been in office for more than a year, and he had enough money and was full.

Less than two months later, the new magistrate came, and he was still a candidate magistrate to fill the vacancy, and he was also a poor jinshi, but he ruthlessly received 60,000 taels of silver from the money village in the capital, and spent 50,000 taels to buy off the actual shortage of the Shenwu County that the officials of the Ministry of Officials had filled, and he took his master and his family to Shenwu County. Yuan Yichen hurriedly made the handover, the account was clean, and there was no deficit, the new magistrate Lu Yanshou was overjoyed, so he happily took over the big seal of Shenwu County and let Yuan Yichen go.

After taking office, Lu Yanshou moved out the old accounts and found out that it was not a poor county, even if there was such a huge amount of income and expenditure, there must be a lot of regular silver, especially the fire consumption, 160,000 taels, and he couldn't help but be happy, so he asked the master to collect the cash. However, the master told the new magistrate Lu Yanshou that the predecessor of the fire consumption of the rules had been taken away, and if he wanted to collect the fire consumption silver, he could only wait for the next year, and Lu Yanshou was dumbfounded.
