Chapter 69: Generosity

After sighing lightly, Wang Hao, who was squatting on the ground, spit out the truth and said, "Alas, Bao Gong, you don't know anything!" In the past seven days alone, 150,000 yuan has been spent on the implementation of the new traffic regulations. Moreover, the 150,000 yuan was still paid on credit to more than 20 stores.

The lower officials promised the shopkeepers of the more than 20 shops a grace period of one month, and after five days, they took the credit notes signed by the upper and lower officials and came to the yamen of the street department to receive the money.

"Bao Gong, you know, since Xia Guan was more than half a month ago, since he served as the street secretary, the money left in our street secretary is less than 10,000 yuan, and it is okay to pay for daily expenses, if you repay the huge account of 150,000 yuan on credit, it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

"Right now, Bao Gong has sent 50,000 yuan from the official family to the lower officials, but he can cope with it for a while, but he is still short of 100,000 yuan in the account. I don't know, after five days, what will I use to pay the bill. It would be nice if the official family gave the lower officials more money, but they couldn't let the horses run, but they didn't give the horses grass! ”

After listening to Wang Hao's complaints, Bao Zheng felt pity, and originally wanted to use the 100,000 yuan that Song Renzong Zhao Zhen rewarded him to buy a larger house in the inner city of Tokyo.

didn't have time to think about it, Bao Zheng patted his chest, praised Wang Hao who was squatting in front of him, and said: "Wang Sicheng, you don't have to worry about the arrears on credit, I will help you pay back the remaining 100,000 yuan." ”

As soon as he heard that Bao Zheng was going to help him pay back 100,000 yuan, Wang Hao, who was squatting on the ground with a sad face, was immediately overjoyed, he immediately stood up and asked incredulously: "Bao Gong, the lower officials have heard that there is not much money left in your Kaifeng Mansion account, where did you get this 100,000 yuan?" ”

After listening to Wang Hao's inquiry, Bao Zheng smiled and spit out the truth: "Wang Sicheng, the official family not only rewarded you with 50,000 yuan, but also rewarded Bao with 100,000 yuan. During this time, you are doing things for the imperial court, and the money you owe on credit should of course be repaid by the imperial court.

"At present, considering that the imperial court is in urgent need of money, for this matter, the imperial court will be played, and all the procedures for appropriation alone will be down, every three or five days, I am afraid that it will not be able to come down. Since, there are less than five days left, and the grace date for credit has arrived, it is not much use to take the 100,000 yuan now, it is better to solve your urgent need first.

"I, Bao, for money, I have always regarded it as something outside the body, I don't bring it in life, I don't bring it in death, what's the use of keeping so much money around? As an official of the Great Song Dynasty, he took out the 100,000 yuan rewarded by the official family, and the right was regarded as a contribution to the court. ”

When Bao Zheng finished speaking, he immediately called out, and the two officials waiting outside the door of the office called in, and ordered the two of them to immediately bring the two large baskets of money in the office of the Kaifeng Mansion and hand them over to Wang Hao.

Previously, Wang Hao was still worried about how to return the 100,000 yuan on credit after five days, and when he saw Bao Zheng take out 100,000 yuan at this time to help him repay the remaining credit, he was immediately moved.

After the two officials left the office, Wang Hao immediately thanked Dai De and said: "Bao Gong, you can take out 100,000 yuan to help at once, which makes the lower officials very moved." Today, I owe Bao Gong a big favor, from now on, if Bao Gong needs my Wang's help, my Wang will do his best and go all out. Even if it is a knife mountain and a sea of fire, Wang will not give up. ”

In fact, in the previous seven days, Wang Hao did not ask the imperial court for money, and according to the procedure, he submitted no less than three reports asking for money and appropriation to the higher-level authority, the capital water supervisor, and all of them were called back one by one.

The 150,000 yuan was not a small amount at that time, and Wang Hao also asked the account clerk of the Kaifeng Mansion about the remaining money, but the account clerk of the Kaifeng Mansion told Wang Hao that there was only 30,000 money left in the account, so he did not ask Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion for money.

A few days of hard work have passed, and the credit account is accumulating more and more, from the initial 10,000 yuan, to the current 150,000 yuan, as the so-called "lice do not bite, debts do not worry", until the deadline for repayment, Wang Hao did not realize that the end of the world was coming, although the thought of the account of 150,000 yuan on credit every day still made him very worried.

While waiting for the two officials to get 100,000 yuan, Wang Hao and Bao Zheng talked about the in-depth implementation plan for the next 20 days.

For Wang Hao at this time, it can be said that he is debt-free and light, and his mood is also very good, so he began to talk to Bao Zheng endlessly, and talked at length about his implementation plan for the next 20 days, which can be described as a matter of detail.

Bao Zheng, sitting on the chair, listened to Wang Hao's narration, the more Wang Hao spoke, the more Bao Zheng's brows wrinkled, in his opinion, if Wang Hao continued to do this, in the next 20 days, the cost of this alone, without five million money, could not be paid.

Not only does it cost a huge amount of money, but it is also a big problem in terms of manpower, as far as Bao Zheng thinks, without three or five thousand people, the plan for the next 20 days or so will not be implemented at all, and it will take a lot of people, material and financial resources.

When Wang Hao talked endlessly, he had about half an hour's effort, and finally finished speaking, now, it was Bao Zheng's turn to be worried, he felt that if he wanted to do this, it would be Zhao Guan's family to reward him with one million dollars, and it would not be enough to give it to Wang Hao.

"Wang Sicheng, as you just said, don't hide it, just say a number, how much money does it cost, and how much manpower needs to be allocated? Tomorrow morning, I will play it to the official family and let the official family decide it. After thinking about it, Bao Zheng felt that he should ask Wang Hao to give him a solid answer, so that he could know what to do, so he asked Wang Hao solemnly.

Wang Hao, who had just closed his mouth, was asked by Bao Zheng, and in the process of his narration, because he was too excited, he couldn't help but be suspicious of adding fuel and vinegar, and he didn't have a precise number to really calculate the money and manpower needed.

After thinking seriously for a moment, Wang Hao poured out a breath and said with some uncertainty: "Bao Gong, in my opinion, the cost of the next twenty days or so will probably require five million dollars, and the manpower allocated cannot be less than five thousand. ”

After listening to the answer given by Wang Hao, Bao Zheng, who had already been mentally prepared, did not feel much surprised, nodded slightly, and responded: "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will report the amount of money and manpower needed to the official family." ”

At this moment, Wang Hao and Bao Zheng, who were sitting in the office room, suddenly heard Zhang Sanmu's panting shout outside the office room: "Bao Fu Yin, Wang Sicheng, the big thing is not good, a court official who entered Beijing from other places, the carriage he was riding in did not comply with the new traffic rules promulgated and implemented since he entered the Tokyo city gate."

"At this time, the inner city gate of Liangmen was intercepted, and the brothers of Kaifeng Mansion and the Street Division did not know how to deal with it, so they came to report this matter to Bao Mansion Yin and Wang Sicheng, and asked the two officials to decide."
