"This, one and a half million silver is a bit much. I guess that now I will find someone to go back to our house to get it, and I won't be able to take it out for a while. So... Estimate... You'll have to let the two of us go back and raise some money. Yang Yingju's eyes rolled, and his tone was as calm as possible

"Yes, Zhang... Sixth brother, you also know that this 1.5 million taels of silver is not a small amount. Without me and the Governor, it would have been difficult for us to raise the money. Sitku echoed Yang Yingju's words

"Is that so?" Zhang Rui looked a little puzzled

"It must be so. If you think about it, this 1.5 million taels of silver must weigh nearly 250,000 catties. It takes more than 100 cars to load it in a big ox cart, so ordinary people will definitely not be able to raise it when they go back, but it will waste your sixth brother's time, right? Yang Yingju counted at Zhang Rui one by one

"You have a point, but are you both going back?" Zhang Rui questioned again

"Of course, I need two people to go back, and I can't be a civil official alone, and I need a military general to suppress those people from making money... Child. Yang Yingju suddenly felt that he was talking too fast, and some of his words were leaking.

At this moment, Yang Yingju was slapping his mouth fiercely in his heart, and at the same time kept chanting silently

"The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion (1), bless him for not hearing anything, and guarantee that he does not notice."

However, Guanyin Bodhisattva does not seem to be interested in Yang Yingju's prayers. If Yang Yingju could continue to speak fluently, maybe Zhang Rui wouldn't have noticed, but he stopped and paused.

"Those people? Out of the silver? Who pays the money? What's going on. After Zhang Rui heard Yang Yingju's words, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously

"Well, no one. Hehe... Let's talk about how to send you silver! Yang Yingju was a little embarrassed and ready to go over with a sloppy eye

"No, you have to make it clear to me first. Don't put all the money you want to give me on the poor. Then I can't be implicated by you and let those who don't know the truth of the matter be scolded to death. Zhang Rui said unequivocally

"Hey, you're still afraid of being scolded as a thief? What a joke. Yang Yingju secretly complained in his heart: "But add it to civilians? I really didn't think of this, I can try it next time. ”

"We definitely don't dare to let your sixth brother's reputation be damaged. Besides, those civilians can have a lot of money! Yang Yingju explained

"We just asked those rich families in Guangzhou City for 10,000 taels or a few thousand taels, so that we could raise enough money to give you the sixth brother."

"Is it really as simple as raising enough money for me?" Zhang Rui's tone was full of disbelief

"It's really that simple." Yang Yingju replied with an affirmative face

"Didn't you even think about making some money?" Zhang Rui stared at Yang Yingju's face and said mercilessly

"This... This one... We're also working so hard, and we still have to earn some hard money... But it's definitely not much..."Yang Yingju looked at Zhang Ruihu's eyes, a little flustered, but he didn't feel anything wrong.

"Actually, it's your ability to ask for a lot, don't worry! I'm not going to add it if I've already set the price, so there's no need for you to hide it. Zhang Rui said slowly to the two of them, and at the same time found a stone next to him and sat down.

"You two go sit down next to you, too!"

After Zhang Rui's reminder, Yang Yingju and Sitku found that they were still kneeling on the ground at this time. So, the two also stood up with each other's arms. He came to the two stones opposite Zhang Rui, brushed the dust off them with his hands, and then sat down.

"I'm curious, how much silver do you get for doing this?" Looking at the two people who had already sat down, Zhang Rui asked out loud

"Since the sixth brother said that, we don't have to talk about it anymore, it seems that we can't say it!" Yang Yingju said with a righteous face

"That's true." Sitku chimed in

"Actually, we can't raise much, and we probably calculate that it means more than three million taels. And there are so many people who died this time, and this pension will have a lot of money. Yang Yingju said with a slightly sad look, and he didn't know if it was for the silver or for the dead

Zhang Rui pretended not to see the sadness shown by Yang Yingju, but just sighed that the Qing Dynasty liked to lose money since it started so early.

It is no wonder that before the Opium War was fought, those officials shouted that they would pay for the money. It turned out that it was not these officials who produced the silver, nor it was the Qing court, but the silver from the big merchants who were regarded as 'fat pigs' by the Qing Dynasty.

"No wonder my Daqing Dynasty has always been keen on land reparations, and the things that I want to pay for emotionally are not theirs, and they can also make money and water." After hearing Yang Yingju's words, Zhang Rui couldn't help but muttered to himself

"Sixth brother, what are you talking about?" Yang Yingju looked at Zhang Rui talking to himself, and asked with some concern

"Oh, it's fine. It is also your ability to get as much silver as you can get, and I can't say anything as long as it is not for the poor people. Zhang Rui replied

"Yes, yes, those poor... People don't have much money, so there's really no need. Does the sixth brother mean to let the two of us go back? Yang Yingju asked cautiously

"Put it, why don't you let it go, if you don't let it go, you won't get the silver for me!" Zhang Rui replied to Yang Yingju very firmly

When Yang Yingju and Sitku heard this, their hearts immediately became overjoyed, and they couldn't help but ask again: "Really?" ”

"Really, I will not only release you, but also let some of your own soldiers go back with you, so as to protect you." Zhang Rui replied more affirmatively

After hearing this, Yang Yingju was a little suspicious of life. There will be such good things in this world, such stupid people?

If you let the two of us go, you will also put both of our own soldiers back. Even if we get the money, will we send it to you? When we are really a true gentleman who is true to his word.

In order to make sure that this was not an illusion, Yang Yingju also quietly pinched his thigh.

"Oh, it hurts."

It doesn't seem to be a hallucination.

"No, I still have to ask again, how can there be such a good thing in this world. Just captured those soldiers, and they didn't have to press us anymore to let us go back like this? Yang Yingju still didn't believe it

So, Yang Yingju asked again

"Sixth brother, really just let us go back? Don't have to press something more? ”

"I'll really let you go back, but you don't say I haven't noticed yet. It's about pressing something. Zhang Rui seemed to suddenly remember

"Damn, I knew I wouldn't ask." Yang Yingju was a little remorseful, and then asked:

"What's that going to press?"

"It's simple, a word to press you?" Zhang Rui is very easy-going

"In a word? What words? ”

"yes, what's it?"

Not only was Yang Yingju stunned, but even Sitku, who was listening to their conversation, was also very puzzled

"It's that you each take a piece of paper and write it to me, 'Ai Xin Jueluo. Hongli is a pig, and Qianlong is a big stupid pig. Then you can sign and draw a pledge. As he spoke, Zhang Rui couldn't help but smile.
