Gu Zhixian had this 2o taels of silver, and he quickly relieved himself, not only invited 1o thousand taels from Hu's Qianzhuang, but also generously repaid the interest of 10,000 taels. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and gave his two masters 10,000 taels of silver each, both masters felt that Gu Zhutong was quite generous, and was glad that he had found a good owner. The copywriter then gave Gu Zhutong an idea: "Master Gu, although the 500 million taels of silver, although they are stored regularly, they can get 100 million taels alive every year, and they can make a fuss on this 100 million taels."

Gu Zhutong also wanted to fight the idea of 100 million taels of silver, but there was no way, seeing that the master had an idea, he asked the master: "What good way do you have?" ", copywriter: "I recently checked, the huge amount of silver collected by Longxian Cheng every year is to do some public welfare, as long as we also do public welfare, Longxian Cheng will not object, I think all the 100 million taels of silver are done for public welfare, and Longxian Cheng has nothing to say." Gu Zhu was overjoyed: "What kind of public welfare can cost 100 million taels of silver", the copywriter: "The city has been repaired, and the road surface has been repaired well, but now, the road leading to the neighboring eight counties is still too narrow, if it is renovated, won't this silver be spent."

Gu Zhutong was very happy when he heard it: "Great, just follow your plan, you make a plan, I will discuss it with Longxian Cheng, I don't think Longxian Cheng will refuse." Gu Zhutong asked Master Qian Liang to make a plan, and strive to spend as much silver as possible, so everything that can be done with money must be done with money.

Gu Zhutong found an opportunity and came to the county yamen. Gu Zhutong came in the afternoon, but Long Xiao was not there, and when he asked the officials, he found out that Long Xiao went to Wu's Pharmacy every afternoon to see a doctor, as long as he was at home, he had developed a habit. Gu Zhutong walked to Wu's medicine shop, Long Xiao was treating the girl in the Qinglou, and Gu Zhutong felt very curious. Seeing that Long Xiao's way of treating the Qinglou girl was very peculiar, but the fee was extremely high, as much as 5oo taels, Gu Zhutong inquired again that Longxian Cheng could treat 3o patients a day, which was 15,000 taels of silver, Gu Zhutong couldn't help but show envy.

15,000 taels a day, 450,000 taels a month, 54o taels a year, this is a huge wealth, no wonder they all say that Longxian Cheng is not greedy or occupied, is a clean official, it turns out that Longxian Cheng has such an income, if he has an annual income of 54o taels of silver, what else is he doing with corruption? Gu Zhutong felt a little unbalanced in his heart, and felt that Long County Cheng had such extra money, so he should help the group to make a fortune for himself. However, Gu Zhutong didn't show that he was a newcomer, and he still had to think about it in the long run.

When Long Xiao saw Gu Zhixian coming, he said hello, asked Gu Zhixian to sit down, and waited until he had finished treating all the 3o Qinglou women, and then he spoke to Gu Zhixian: "Master Gu, you have found this place like this, is there anything important?" Gu Zhutong looked around and stopped talking. Long Xiao knew that it was not very convenient to speak here, so he took Gu Zhutong to his county's Yamen.

"Master Gu, please speak, I'll listen to you", Gu Zhutong smiled and gave Long Xiao a hat first: "After I came to Shenwu County, I heard that many people were praising Longxian Cheng, saying that Longxian Cheng was enthusiastic about public welfare, and made a Shenwu county prosperous with the capital, I was very envious, and I was determined to learn from Longxian Cheng, and I would also do public welfare in the future, as long as it was beneficial to the people of Shenwu County, I also resolutely supported it."

"Lord Gu smiled, I did something slight, just let Lord Gu hang on his lips, the lower officials were very frightened, Lord Gu has something, please say it, as long as I can do it, the decision to implement it is", Long Xiao also knew that Gu Zhutong came this time, and he felt that he was not here to praise himself, there must be something, and it must have something to do with silver. Sure enough, Gu Zhixian said: "Longxian Cheng, are you here, the roads leading to the neighboring eight counties in Shenwu County are not very good, some of them are potholes, I think it needs to be repaired, or a few more roads are rebuilt, which is in line with the prosperous situation of Shenwu County."

When Long Xiao heard this, he was stunned: "Okay, I also think it is necessary to repair the road, and I haven't made time for it, so do you think it is necessary to repair the road or rebuild the road?" "I think it's better to rebuild the road, if the road is repaired now, it will hinder people from walking now, and the merchants who come and go to Shenwu County are hundreds of thousands of dollars every day, if they are delayed for a few months, but it is not cost-effective, I think it is more appropriate to rebuild it in addition, one is not to delay walking, but there are also a few more roads, or it is powerful for Shenwu County."

Long Xiao thought about it again, and he understood, Gu Zhixian was newly appointed to focus on road construction, nothing more than a huge deposit in Shenwu County, there were 500 million taels of silver placed there, if there was no action, it would be difficult to be greedy for ink, as long as there was a project, you could blatantly eat rebates, if a new road needs 5oo taels of silver, the cost will soar to double, it will reach 1ooo thousand taels, and the four main roads will have 4ooo taels, Gu Zhixian is personal rebate will not be less than one percent, at least 4ooo taels, There will even be two percent, there will be 8oo thousand taels. However, this is also a regular rule of the Sui Dynasty, any public measure, the rebate reaches 5 percent, it has become a common practice, and it is not something that you can control, as long as Gu Zhixian can look good for the people. It's normal to be greedy for a little silver, as long as you don't be greedy for the principal, it's already good.

"Gu Zhixian, your proposal is good, I fully support it, this is a major event in Shenwu County, as long as Gu Zhixian is not too troublesome, the Zhixian Yamen will take the responsibility of building the road, and our county Cheng Yamen will not participate. Gu Zhutong was very happy at first when he heard that Long Xiao was reluctant to participate, in that way, the rebate for the county's road repair would be his own, and if he was one less point, he would have more silver. But when I think about it in a blink of an eye, I feel that something is wrong, if Long Xiao is unwilling to participate, he has a lot of money, but if he traces it down in the future, it will be easy to have problems, and he can't tell clearly, it is better to let the county yamen participate, everyone has interests, and the law is not responsible for the public, and in the future, the boss will investigate, and everyone will be able to protect each other.

"Lord Long, you say this, it's not much, you are a capable person in the county, not to mention that the county yamen is in charge of public security, if there is no county Cheng to write and arrest quickly, such a huge thing as building roads, but it is easy to have troubles, without the participation of the county yamen, it can't be done at all, please think twice." The reason why Long Xiao was reluctant to participate was the kickback for road repair, he didn't want it, he didn't expect that Gu Zhixian actually saw what he meant, and he had to participate by himself, so he had to agree, however, Long Xiao also thought about it, the population of the new city is increasing, and the original catch is no longer enough, so it is okay to take this opportunity to recruit some more fast catchers, so he said to Gu Zhixian: "Lord Gu, you need to arrest people for public security when building roads, but the patrols of the county are still not enough, I think it is better to recruit some more, you don't have to object, right?" ”。

At this time, Long Xiao agreed to his plan to build the road, and he could have a rebate of several million taels of silver, and his small life could be nourished, and other things, as long as they did not involve their own interests. Not to mention that Long Xiao recruits fast catchers, even if the streets are full of fast catchers, and they don't care about their own affairs, anyway, what Shenwu County has now is silver, and the more fast they catch, the more opportunities they will have to receive gifts in the future, Gu Zhixian immediately agreed.

Gu Zhutong went back and looked at the plan for the master, the plan of the master has been made, the cost of each road is 2ooo thousand taels, and the four roads are 8ooo thousand taels, and each road needs to use 2o people, and it will take a year to completely do. Gu Zhutong secretly asked the master, how is the rebate calculated, and the master told Gu Zhutong that the rebate is fifty percent, that is, 4ooo thousand taels, the county adult's share is 1ooo thousand taels, the county adult's share is 8ooo taels, and the main book and the classic history are 2ooo taels. The two masters of the county, one master of the county, each of the three masters is 1oo thousand taels, and the remaining 15oo taels will be distributed to the county's catchers and officials. Gu Zhutong was very satisfied with this distribution plan, and immediately rewarded the two masters with 1ooo two pieces of silver, which was regarded as the hard work of making the plan.

Long Xiao also took the opportunity to recruit 4ooo famous road repair supervisors, and after the road repair was over, he turned into a county catcher, so he let Zhang Cheng handle this task. Zhang Cheng and the other four catchers, after receiving this task, they were very happy, the four of them divided the 4ooo places, and each went to recruit personnel, but this one, each person got 5ooo two filial piety, of course, it can't be compared with the county master's kickback.
