Chapter 67 The Silver Taels
The right adjutant Bai was very angry and wanted to go up to the public to tell everyone that these were actually disaster relief funds pulled out by the imperial court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Jianlin, the left adjutant, grabbed him quickly and warned in a low voice, "Don't be impulsive!" The righteous gang are here! Do you want to be beheaded? β
Bai Ji angrily shook off Wang Jianlin's hand, but he didn't step forward again. He had to endure this breath, otherwise he would ruin himself.
Liang Mingjun saw that the commotion of the crowd was quieter again, "Starting tomorrow, the official will organize people to build houses on the vacant land outside the city, due to the limited manpower, if anyone present is willing to reach out to help, the official will give him a salary that is not lower than the price on the market according to the amount of work, and also take care of the food!" β
As soon as he said this, the crowd, which was originally a lot quieter, was fried again at the moment, everyone raised their hands and shouted to participate, such a good thing, a fool would not do it, he could eat enough, and he had money to get, what is it for people like them to do some coolies!
This condition is undoubtedly to give those refugees hope for survival, and the people's fighting spirit is aroused, what can not be solved.
Seeing the reaction at the scene, Liang Mingjun smiled, "If you want to build a house, you can register with me, and you will move these wooden boxes to my bedroom." The latter sentence addressed the soldiers.
He'll have to watch over it tonight.
The left and right adjutants followed up and helped without any objections, this happened too suddenly, they hadn't thought about how to deal with it, and the first thing to do now was to report the situation.
It didn't take long for Lord Liang's mansion to have 500,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, as well as the money to join in building a house, and the two things spread throughout the city.
The refugees who heard the news wept with joy, and after staying up for so long, the life they had picked up finally saw hope. So, suddenly, the entire Fucheng was immersed in an atmosphere of joy. The refugees, who were originally sick and listless, all cheered up and rushed to Lord Liang's mansion to register.
Liang Mansion has been sleepless all night, Liang Mingjun has been busy registering the refugees, busy until dawn, the people in the mansion have served him breakfast, and before the meal has been removed, the porter reported that Lord Li and Lord Zhu are invited to see him.
Liang hurriedly asked people to come in, and instructed his subordinates to withdraw their meals and watch tea, and then got up to greet them.
"Lord Liang, congratulations!" When Li and Zhu, who stepped into the second gate, saw Liang Mingjun, they smiled and said they were happy.
Liang Mingjun looked stunned, "Why are you happy??" Could it be that the two adults are mistaken? β
"Lord Liang, don't pretend, now the entire mansion and even people in a radius of hundreds of miles know that your mansion last night was 500,000 taels of silver." Lord Zhu looked at him with disapproval.
Liang Mingjun understood, "That's what the two adults said, hey! That's not a happy event. He had a headache.
Master Li was not happy when he heard it, "Why isn't it a happy event?" You have an extra 500,000 taels of silver in your house, isn't it a happy event?? β
Liang Mingjun's neck stalked, "This, what is this......" finally put away his angry expression, lowered his head and sighed, "Hey! The two adults came into the room and sat down, listening to me slowly. β
After entering the house, after Liang Mingjun waited for the two of them to sit down, he took out the creed from last night from his sleeve and handed it to Master Zhu who was sitting next to him.
This look can scare the two of them a lot. The two looked at each other with pale faces, and then looked at Liang Mingjun in unison. Lord Zhu asked, "Lord Liang, is thisβis this true?" β
Liang Mingjun slapped the armrest angrily, "What do you mean by this, Lord Zhu, could it be that I made it up by myself?" β
"No, no, Lord Zhu can't believe it, just ask, don't mind Lord Liang." Master Li hurriedly opened his mouth to explain for Lord Zhu.
"Yes, yes, Zhu didn't doubt what Lord Liang meant." Lord Zhu reacted and hurriedly defended.
Liang Mingjun's face softened and sighed, "Hey...... I couldn't believe it, but I couldn't believe it because it was a dart shot at the head of my bed. When he said this, he seemed to remember something terrible, and his face was full of fear.
Lord Zhu and Li looked at each other again.
After relieving himself, Liang Mingjun sighed again, "How did this hot potato come to me." Two adults, what do you say about this? I'm scared! β
The two of them did not answer him immediately, but both bowed their heads and became suspicious.
The purpose of their coming here was to divide the fifty taels of silver, and of course, the two did not come together, but met at the door. They are working for different people, how can they come together.
Now that the creed is in place, what should they do? To say that you are not afraid to cut off your head is definitely a lie! What could be more important in this world than one's own life?
After thinking about it for a while, Master Zhu decided. "Lord Liang, you and I are both the officials of this disaster relief, and the official positions are average, I won't tell you, Zhu Mou's visit this time is a matter of discussion and sharing, and such a huge amount of 500,000 taels of silver is distributed by you, so there are many things, so Zhu asked himself to share the matter of 250,000 taels of silver." Anyway, the silver will come to hand first, and then after the silver is in hand, he will receive the merit in front of King An, and when King An ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely take him well, if he can do six books, then it will be sent!
Lord Li, who has rarely spoken, couldn't hold back at this time, "Li also proposed to share, since the three of us have equal official positions and are responsible for disaster relief together, then the three of us should share the burden equally, so it is convenient to do so." "Liang Mingjun is Li Xiang's person, so they have two shares, and they can be regarded as winning.
Of course, Lord Zhu knew what he was thinking, and he also seemed to be aware that Liang Mingjun was Li Xiang's person, and he was definitely unwilling to stop there.
"What Master Li is talking about is Li'er, but Zhu thinks that he is more qualified and experienced in this area, and he can handle things more quickly, so he should take more responsibility." He is the second-in-command of the household department, and he is very comfortable with these things.
"Lord Zhu is an expert in terms of aspects, but we can't let Lord Zhu suffer, equal sharing is the best way." Master Li continued to insist.
Liang Mingjun didn't speak, the two argued back and forth several times, but they refused to give in, and then he couldn't stand it anymore, so he came forward to say what he thought, and finally according to Master Li's method, the three of them were responsible for sharing the 500,000 taels of silver equally.
Lord Zhu was very reluctant, but there was no way, and the deuce was the most tenable statement.
Master Li was happy.
Liang Mingjun instructed the soldiers in the house to go to his bedroom to carry the silver and send it to the house of the two. The mansion of the two is also in this city, just across the street.
In this way, the silver was divided into three parts, and the other two were immediately moved out of the Liang Mansion.
