Chapter 70: Lee Sang-sang's Letter

"What do you guys think?" Lee Sang-sang did not directly say his plan, but instead asked for their opinions, suggesting that the more such things the better. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master Li Xiang, the old minister feels, let Liang Mingjun and Li Ran continue to provide disaster relief, don't be stingy with the use of silver taels, as long as you secretly deduct some from it, don't do so much, there are two or three hundred thousand taels, and if the books are done cleanly, you won't find out, and you don't have to risk cutting off your head." Zhao Shangshu said his thoughts, if he really cut off the heads of those two people, it would really not be cost-effective, they are all the right-hand men that Li Xiang needs to use to achieve great things in the future, and it is a pity to lack one. Anyway, the silver taels were pulled out by the household, and they didn't belong to them, no matter how much they picked, they were earned.

"What about you, what do you think?" Li Xiang was not in a hurry to analyze Zhao Shangshu's words, and turned his head to ask Sun Shangshu.

"Lao Chen's idea is similar, but those silver taels are cut off, and they don't need to be packed and shipped away, but sent to our recruiting point not far from Licheng little by little. In this way, it not only solves the problem of funds for recruitment, but also will not be discovered by the people of the righteous gang, so there is no need to sacrifice Liang and Li. Sun Yikong also said his thoughts, and he was thinking more about recruitment.

Li Xiang smiled and nodded, "Well, well, you all think well, the old man also planned it this way, but the exact number that the old man wants to give Liang and Li is 150,000, don't make it too difficult for the two of you." "It's still easy to pull out 150,000 taels of silver from 500,000 taels. These silver taels are not his, it is enough to get 150,000 taels for recruitment, which can not only make King An fall a big root, but also allow him to add 10,000 soldiers, and the most important thing is that Liang and Li can do things beautifully, and they can get some rewards when they get to the emperor, which is really killing three birds with one stone.

Sun and Zhao lowered their heads and thought for a while, and then they understood Li Xiang's true thoughts, and both of them smiled and praised Li Xiang for his wisdom and thoughtfulness.

………………

Liang Mingjun's mansion received several boxes of silver taels of white flowers on the night when Lord Zhu's head was taken off, and the courtyard exploded again that night, but because of the second time, Liang Mingjun and those soldiers dealt with it much faster, and the refugees also knew what was going on, so they all stopped after a while.

That night, I also received a letter from a dart, the content was different, but the threat was more than good.

Dare to embezzle a penny of disaster relief funds, you are the next Zhu Jushang! Paid by: Yibang.

This time it was also the creed opened by the left and right adjutants. This time, they were even more frightened, because they had seen Lord Zhu's head with their own eyes and saw Lord Zhu's terrifying face with their own eyes.

The left adjutant Wang Jianlin was so frightened that he sat on the ground and peed his pants on the spot, while the right adjutant Bai Ji, who was more calm for the first time, couldn't calm down this time and fainted directly. If you want to say that he is afraid of death, he is definitely a little more afraid of death than Wang Jianlin.

Liang Mingjun couldn't be calmer in his heart, he understood that it was the master's arrangement, and he was grateful to the master for his trust, and at the same time decided to work harder to do this well.

The next day, he arranged the affairs of the house as usual, and took people to build a house outside the city, the difference is that this time there is more Li Ran, who has joined, although his share of silver has not moved, but the manpower has brought a lot, and Li is a capable person, who has helped him a lot in management.

Part of their house is made of wood, the other part is made of mud, and even the roof tiles are improvised fired, but they are much rougher than ordinary tiles, but they can also be used, which is also a no-brainer, after all, the house needs to be built in a hurry, and the refugees are waiting for a shelter from the wind and rain.

Liang Mingjun recruited many refugees to do labor, those refugees were originally Zhuang households, all of them had physical strength, because they were hungry too much to cause them to look sick, Liang Daren's food was sufficient and did not lose nutrition, only a few days those strong men recovered their strength, whether they went up the mountain to cut trees, or stepped on mud to make bricks are a good hand.

There is a lot of power in people, and because of the large number of manpower, the progress of building a house is very fast, and in just a few days, a row of houses that can accommodate thousands of people has been built. Of course, this is not enough, and more needs to be built.

Liang Mingjun also had people buy large quantities of rice, sorghum, wheat, sweet potatoes and other grains in other cities, and those women with physical strength could bring their children to help cook meals and boil water. In addition, there are idle women who help Lang Zhong to take care of the sick and weak refugees, and these people will of course also receive their fair wages.

In this way, all the refugees joined in the rebuilding operation, and under Liang Mingjun's management, everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Because of the incident with Lord Zhu, Lord Li is now obedient to Liang Mingjun in everything, of course, the most important thing is that he wants to save his life. He thought that in this way, when the disaster relief was over, he would be able to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and Xiang Shang's head would be saved at that time.

Correct......

On this day, he received a letter from Lord Lee Sang, and he was flattered and frightened at the same time, because he had never had direct contact with Lord Lee Sang, and there had never been any correspondence. It was all the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who asked him to do whatever he wanted, and this time Lord Li Xiang personally wrote a letter, and he felt valued, but he also felt extremely frightened, because Lord Li Xiang asked him to secretly send the silver two to the recruitment point.

Doesn't this show corruption?

With Master Zhu as a lesson from the past, does he dare to do it?

But this is an order written by Lord Lee Sang-sang, can he not do it?

After struggling in his own mansion for a long time, he decided to discuss with Lord Liang.

Liang Mingjun also received the same letter, the difference is that the amount that Li Xiang asked for him was several times more than that of Master Li.

When Lord Li was looking for him, he did not shy away from taking out his letter and showing it to Lord Li.

Master Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the two discussed for a long time, but they had no clue.

This is a dead knot: if you want to die, don't pay attention to the letter of Lord Lee Sang; If you want to obey Lord Lee Sang's arrangement, don't try to live!

So in the end, nothing was discussed. Master Li left in a huff, but Liang Mingjun went out of the city as usual after lunch.

After Master Li returned home, he didn't do anything, so he stayed in the study and thought about it. He wanted to live, but he didn't dare to disobey Master Li Xiang's words, because the consequences would definitely not be good!

After thinking about it all night, he woke up in his sleep, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

That's right, it's okay to return the silver to Liang Mingjun, anyway, it was forced from him at the time, and now it's back now, it's none of his business to deal with it, so that his life will be saved, as for Lord Li Xiang's side, he just finds a reason to put the responsibility on Liang Mingjun.

With such a decision, Li Ran slept comfortably, and the next morning, he couldn't wait to send more than 160,000 taels of silver back to the Liang Mansion intact.
