As soon as he heard Bao Huiji's words, Lu Yu suddenly opened his mouth. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Zhang Juzheng has been settled by Emperor Wanli in the autumn, and the whip law he implemented is still a fart? Anyway, the taxes that should be paid cannot be less, and the conscription that should be served is also indispensable, which people dare to talk nonsense? Aren't you afraid of the big board of the yamen?

And this also solves the problem of the choice of the project, especially after the best of both worlds, don't those landlords and merchants have to find their own meaning? Thinking of this, Lu Yu immediately made a decision: "This is very good!" Bao Lao, you will have to worry about this matter. Be sure to do it thoroughly! ”

"Yes, sir!"

……

After leaving the main hall, the other scribes followed Bao Hui back to his house. Lu Yu can be the shopkeeper, but these people are still needed to handle specific affairs, the key is the distribution of benefits, how much should I pay if I don't want to go? How much should a wealthy family extort? Of course, this matter was facilitated by Bao Hui, and according to the rules, he should take the lion's share. But how much should you take? Always negotiate the exact number.

However, to everyone's surprise, Bao Hui didn't seem to want to talk much today, so he simply explained: "Lord Lu is a new official, don't mess things up." Everything else is according to the old rules. The old man is a little tired, so let's go get busy first! ”

Everyone was driven out of the door, and they were all confused. Someone asked, "Is Bao Lao sick?" How did he ......? ”

"Is Bao Lao's words true, is it really according to the rules? Do you want to keep an extra copy for him? ”

"Eh, which one is going to Bao Lao's Mansion at night? At least give it a clear look. I'm a little worried about such a strangeness, right? ”

“……”

Just when everyone was gossiping, the secretary office walked out of Bao Huiji's house, and it was also Bao Hui's close confidant. He handed over a note: "Everyone, Bao Bo asked you not to guess, this time it will really follow the old rules." Also, put the people inside in. ”

These people suddenly realized that Bao Hui already wanted to take revenge on a few enemies. It makes sense. Anyway, it's a matter of effort, and it's not difficult to appoint someone to serve as a conscript.

The scribes quickly dispersed, and the clerk returned to Bao Huiji's room. He seemed to be a little worried: "Bao Bo, I heard that the two Bai brothers are popular in the rivers and lakes, do you really want to let them go?" ”

Bao Hui smiled slightly: "It's nothing more than some children's games on the rivers and lakes, the official law is like a furnace, does he dare to escape?" It's nothing more than a few days of work, will he still kill officials and rebel? This great tomorrow is about the king's law. Besides, even if you can't leave, you can arrange for his brave subordinates to work. Eat and drink spicy food every day and let others work, and we won't care. What else could he say? ”

"But ......?" The bookstore was still a little worried.

Bao Hui interrupted with a smile: "It's impossible to do what we do, not to offend people." But more than that, I'm afraid of offending us! This time the decay is a favor that can't be avoided. Don't pay too much attention to that Bai Er, the ups and downs, the old decay has seen a lot. Let's not mention whether he can pass this hurdle. Even if it is over, if he dares to turn his face, the old man will dare to give him a ride! ”

Bao Hui has been covered with age spots on his face, and his eyes are sharp. In the yamen, the officials who flow water and the officials who beat them with iron. In this one-acre and three-point land in Ye County, he can also turn the clouds and rain in black and white!

……

At this time, Qin Bai didn't know that someone had already done a black hand behind his back. Today he suddenly encountered an accident, after this month's ore was delivered, Hong Leong Money Store didn't settle the bill for him?

Brought a few people to Fenglong Money Shop, and as soon as he met with Shopkeeper Zhang, Qin Bai asked: "Shopkeeper Zhang, didn't you say that you can withdraw 1,500 taels of cash each time you settle the bill every half a month?" But I just sent someone to get it, why is there no more? ”

Shopkeeper Zhang was still smiling like Maitreya Buddha: "Second Master Bai!" No wonder the people below don't know how to do things. This matter is handed over to the next generation. Don't worry, it's like this, I heard that you are short on money and are about to run out of cash. I am afraid that you will not be able to repay those loans, so you will deduct them on your own initiative. ”

Qin Bai frowned slightly: "Where do I have a bad turnover?" Shopkeeper Zhang, let's make it clear today, there is a deed between us, and it is written clearly in black and white. You suddenly came back to me, and you still let me do business? ”

"I'm so sorry! It is clearly written in the deed that if you are found to have broken the contract, you will have the right to repay the debt in advance. ”

"I'm breaking the contract? Which eye did you see me breaking my contract? ”

"Second Master Bai, it's really not your fault. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to inquire casually, and almost the entire Jingjiazhuang knows that you can't come up with the money, and you really don't dare to take this risk......"

“……”

When he walked out of the Fenglong money shop, Qin Bai's face was quite ugly. In fact, Cui Xinxiao came to purchase this time, in addition to paying 1,750 taels of silver, he also left a deposit of 650 taels. Therefore, during this period of time, even if there is no silver from the Fenglong Money Shop, there will still be no problems with Qin Bai's turnover here.

Taking a step back, it is nothing more than borrowing 7,500 taels from Hong Leong Money Shop, even if it is deducted every time, it can be paid off in two and a half months at most. If he can get the balance from Cui Xinxiao, Qin Bai will grit his teeth and pass.

However, Qin Bai felt that this matter would never be so simple. Who's behind the rumors? What purpose do they have? Therefore, as soon as he went out, Qin Bai instructed the thorn hair beside him: "Send a few clever people to inquire, is there really such a thing!" ”

But before Qin Bai returned to the East Second Fang, at the door of the Dream Immortal Residence, it was confirmed that the rumors were true. happened to meet Cheng Niang going out, and when she saw Qin Bai, she smiled and saluted, but then she leaned in and asked in a low voice, "Second Brother Bai!" Are you short on cash? There is some silver around the slave family, and if you get together, there will always be one or two thousand taels. If you don't care, you can take it. ”

"Huh?" Due to the great increase in the income of those subordinates, Mengxianju is also prosperous. In just this period of time, Cheng Niang has become a little rich woman. So Qin Bai smiled quietly and asked, "Do you also know that I am short of money?" Isn't there a lot of people who know? ”

Looking at Qin Bai's face, Cheng Niang nodded hesitantly: "The guests who have come here these days are all spreading." In fact...... And the brethren also praised thee for thy righteousness, and would rather lose thyself than delay their money. ”

"Damn!" Qin Bai scolded in his heart, it seems that it is not only outsiders, but even his own brothers? Was he the last to know about it? After thinking about it again, it's really like this. Qin Bai is basically self-sufficient here, and has relatively little money interaction with the outside world. That's why there is such a situation, rumors have spread, but he himself does not know.

After thinking about it, Qin Bai had already made a decision. smiled at Cheng Niang: "Then it's tiring." Borrow a thousand taels first, and don't spread the word about it. ”

"Huh!"

When Cheng Niang left, Qin Bai smiled, and then softly instructed the prickly hair: "Arrange a few reliable people and put a message." Let's just say that I am desperate for lack of money, and I even have to borrow Cheng Niang's money! ”
