Chapter 236: Purpose
"Lord Xia is quick to talk, but he is also a true temperament. Hypocrites are more hateful than real villains. Lord Xia is a real villain, there is one thing to say, there is two to say, and there is no way to hide it. It made Fang a little admired. Fang Zi'an smiled.
Xia Liangdong smiled awkwardly, it sounded like Fang Zi'an was praising himself, but he was a little unhappy to be praised as a real villain.
"Lord Fang, whether it's a real villain, or a hypocrite, in short, the official's thoughts are clear and clear to Lord Fang. This official came to serve in the defense army, but he didn't want to be a person who would go down in history with two sleeves, he just wanted to live more freely, is this wrong, since Lord Fang is here, this benefit is naturally not available to the official. Therefore, what the official wants to say is that the two of us will cooperate sincerely, take the benefits together, and don't make such a fuss. It is the so-called harmony that makes money. Do you say that in a few years, your Lord Fang will definitely be promoted, and he is also a temporary general in the Yamen of the Defense Army, why do you need to make everyone unhappy, do you say it" Xia Liangdong finally said his purpose unabashedly.
Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice, "What Lord Xia means is that the benefits can be shared with me."
Xia Liangdong smiled and nodded, "That's exactly what I mean." As long as Lord Fang does not act against the official, there are benefits of the official, and naturally there are benefits to Lord Fang. I, Xia Liangdong, have also been in the officialdom for many years, and I understand the truth of making money with harmony. ”
Insert a sentence, The source change artifact is really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates
Fang Zi'an smacked his lips and said, "With such a small yamen, how much oil and water can there be, not to mention that you may have to give benefits to others." Otherwise, others won't spoil you? ”
Xia Liangdong stretched his neck and said in a low voice, "Lord Fang also seems to understand, the benefits are naturally shared by everyone, it is nothing more than taking more and taking less." The important people will give more, and the unimportant people will smear their mouths with honey and taste the sweetness. Of course, this official will not treat Lord Fang badly. Master Fang and I can share the benefits equally, let's sit on an equal footing. As for what Lord Fang was worried about, how much oil and water could this little yamen have, hehe, I can only say that it is definitely beyond Lord Fang's imagination. As long as you use your brain, you have to scrape out three layers of oil from the ground, hahahaha. ”
Fang Zi'an also stretched his neck, pretending to be full of interest and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Xia Liangdong smiled, waved his hand and said, "Lord Fang, you don't need to ask, in short, if Lord Fang is willing to cooperate with this official, this official will benefit you a lot." ”
Fang Zi'an sat up straight, and said with a smile, "Lord Xia still doesn't believe me, so I won't ask." lest Lord Xia think that I have other plans. ”
Xia Liangdong shook his head and said, "The official doesn't mean anything else, the official just doesn't want to say it too clearly." You, Lord Fang, are a scholar, and you will feel unhappy when you hear many things. In short, as long as Lord Fang is willing to cooperate, I can give Master Fang this amount every year. ”
Xia Liangdong stretched out his palm and shook it in front of Fang Zi'an's eyes.
Fang Zi'an was shocked, and said in surprise, "Five thousand taels is so much"
Xia Liangdong laughed and said, "Not much, not much." Lord Fang is still full
Meaning?"
Fang Zi'an sighed, "It's amazing, all of our money is counted, and it's only about three hundred taels a year." I really didn't expect that a small defense army yamen could have so much oil and water. This made me even more curious about how I got the money. Lord Xia, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, why don't you tell me how this way of accumulating wealth is how I may be able to use it in the future. ”
Xia Liangdong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed even louder. Pointing at Fang Zi'an, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that you, Lord Fang, still had such an idea." Didn't you say before that you were an official to serve the court and be loyal to the country, why are you telling the truth now?"
Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Why do you have to expose people's shortcomings." ”
Xia Liangdong laughed and fell, looking extremely rude. After a long time, he gasped and said, "Lord Fang, let's not go around the bend." To be honest, the official still can't trust you. If you can really reassure the official, the official will not hide anything from you. After all, this kind of thing is not a good thing, if the official tells you all the inside information, you turn around and don't recognize the person, and sell the official, will the official have to die in your hands."
Fang Zi'an's eyes flickered, and he smacked his lips and said, "Lord Xia has so many eyes, it really doesn't look like he was born as a martial artist." ”
Xia Liangdong waved his hand and said, "Don't say that." The heart of guarding against others is indispensable, and this is the experience of this official for so many years. In other words, the official now understands some things, even if he fought with the Jin people in the bloody battle, it didn't remind him like this in the officialdom. At least on the battlefield, you can know how you died and who killed you. But in officialdom, sometimes you don't know how you died, and you don't know who killed you. ”
Fang Zi'an nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then Lord Xia will never really believe in this official, how can this official make you believe it?"
Xia Liangdong smiled and said, "It's very simple." The best way to keep it a secret is to get involved. When a person kills someone and is seen by a bystander, the bystander will report it. But if a bystander also participates in the killing, he will not divulge the murder alive or dead. Lord Fang, if you want to get this benefit, you have to do something to make this official believe, and this official will share all the secrets with you without reservation. Because, after we become grasshoppers on a rope, I naturally won't be wary of you. ”
Fang Zi'an smiled: "Do you want me to send a letter of nomination, but I don't know what to do."
Xia Liangdong thought for a while and said, "That's it, I won't make you too embarrassed." You are the head of the yamen, and you have the power to verify and report to the personnel of our defense army. Every six months, the yamen must report the number of troops for verification from above. You know, one more soldier will be paid one more salary. Although the salaries of the soldiers of our defense army are not high, only a little more than two taels a month. However, although there are not many people, ten people and a hundred, although a month is not much, a year, hehe, that is a huge number. I want you to pay an extra 150 soldiers. It's a no-brainer for you. What do you think?"
Fang Zi'an immediately understood, Xia
Liangdong is trying to deceive himself and falsely report that the soldiers are paid empty salaries. One hundred and fifty men, three hundred taels of silver a month, and a huge sum of three thousand six hundred taels of silver a year. Sure enough, it is a white wolf with empty gloves, and there is no profit. Just this time, there is so much money, it is simply staggering.
"It's too risky, and if it comes out, it's going to be a problem. You and I will lose our black hats. Fang Zi'an frowned.
"You can rest assured, you only need to report it, and the rest will be dealt with by your own officials, and there will be absolutely no mistakes. This official will arrange it properly. If you think that the official will also sign the list that has been reported, and he will also be held accountable together, will the official allow this to happen, you just have to do it. If you don't even have the courage to join hands with this official, how can this official believe you, how can you get five thousand taels of white silver," Xia Liangdong said softly.
Fang Zi'an secretly laughed in peace, and it was only at this moment that Fang Zi'an truly understood what Xia Liangdong's purpose was. On the surface, Xia Liangdong seems to be pulling himself into the gang, making himself and him a raccoon dog, so that he can continue to enrich his own pockets and make profits. However, Fang Zi'an smelled something unusual. As long as he did what he told him to do, he would never be able to wash it again. This kind of empty salary is an extremely serious matter in the army, and the consequences of doing so yourself are unimaginable. If Xia Liangdong was a member of the Qin family, as long as he did this, he would be immediately caught, and death would not be far away. Xia Liangdong's purpose is probably this.
"How can you agree to this matter, and you can make this official believe that you are your own person, and in the future, our brothers will sit here, and the silver will fall into your pocket and live a free life. Just like this Wuyi new tea, we can drink it if we want to, and we don't have to look greedy, we have silver, and everything is easy to do. Xia Liangdong said with his heart and soul.
Fang Zi'an looked hesitant and said softly, "Lord Xia, what you said is right. But I was a little scared. I haven't done anything like this before, and my heart is really shaking. Well, let me think about how to take a moment and think about it. ”
Xia Liangdong frowned and said, "What is there to think about?"
Fang Zi'an got up and said, "No, no, no, you have to think about it." Don't worry, Lord Xia, I won't talk nonsense, I just need to think about it. You still stay in this public house, and I'd better stay in the front wing room first. Give me three days, and I'll get back to you when the time comes. ”
Xia Liangdong's face was gloomy and said, "What do you mean by this, Lord Fang, this is not good." ”
Fang Zi'an arched his hand and said, "It doesn't mean anything special, Lord Xia, don't think about it." I really just couldn't make a decision. ”
Xia Liangdong got up slowly, his expression became indifferent, and he said lightly, "It's okay, you can think about it, you have to think about it in three days." You gave me an answer three days later. ”
Fang Zi'an nodded yes, arched his hand and walked away quickly. Xia Liangdong stood in the room, looking at Fang Zi'an's departing back through the long window, his face was cloudy, and he twisted his beard in contemplation.
