And now, the contents that should have existed here in the account book have now been erased by Lin Fan with a pen. All that was left of the ledger was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Whether it was the money recorded in the account books, the food, or even the treasure banknotes that were like waste paper, they were all written off by Lin Fan.

"My lord, is this really okay?" Li Qingshan knew what this meant, and he asked with some concern.

Li Qingshan understands very well that the money and food in this is not a small amount, and it does not mean that it can be lost if it is not. If it's really all hooked, the court may not explain the past.

Lin Fan said as if he didn't care: "It's okay, so be it!" ”

"Anyway, there are some things in this, which were originally going to be handed over to the local government. Since they want it so much, it's good to give it to them. Could it be that you really want to continue to entangle with those Pixiu who can't be fed? I'm not annoyed by you, I'm annoyed! ”

Li Qingshan was still not at ease: "It's okay to say that those grains and grass, after all, they are going to stay in the army." Since it is allocated by us, if you don't want it, you don't want it. ”

"And we still have a lot of food in stock, and there is no shortage of that ration, so it's a big deal to let the brothers save a little. But the money in the account must be registered and handed over to the treasury, if all of it is gone, what if the court ...... in the future? ”

Lin Fan smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, these people haven't been officials for a day or two, and each one is more shrewd than the other." Today they have eaten the benefits into their stomachs, and their mouths must be tighter than anyone else's. ”

"It is always the hungry who cry out, when have you ever heard a well-fed man go around showing off? People like them, when they get benefits, they will only secretly have fun. It's too late to cry poor with others, where will I hang on my face for embezzling the silver of the imperial court! ”

"As long as they are not stupid, they can't go all over the world and shout about the bad things they have done. And even if they were really stupid enough to go outside and shout everywhere, the imperial court might not be willing to investigate these things now. ”

"There are so many big things waiting to be done in the world, and there are so many more important things than that. The imperial court doesn't have the kung fu to take care of the bad things here, and most of them will do more than less, and turn a blind eye to the things here. ”

"But there's a point to what you're saying. In this case, you go back and rearrange the account books, deduct 30% of the money and food in them, and then fill in the rest again. ”

"If you only give them 30% of the money and food, they may not be able to eat enough according to their appetite. You can deduct some from other places that have nothing to do with armaments, make up enough of them, and try to feed them at once. ”

"Also, remember to keep the books clean, although it's all superficial, it's always right to do something beautiful."

"But don't worry, there will be no problem. Even if there is a mistake in the book, they will take the initiative to help us clean it up. We're just doing this just to get by. ”

Lin Fan was talking, and suddenly felt that Li Qingshan's expression was a little weird, as if he had something to say.

He asked with some concern, "What's wrong?" Is it too stressful to negotiate with Du Zishan and tired? Or is there something wrong with your body? Anyway, this matter has already been decided, why don't you go back and rest first, and I'll leave this matter to someone else to do, and it's the same! ”

Li Qingshan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I was just a little distracted just now, and I don't need to rest." I

It's okay, please continue! ”

I don't know if it's my own delusion, but for a moment just now, Li Qingshan seemed to feel that the adult seemed to be a little sad.

It's just that the feeling is fleeting, and he doesn't know if it's accurate. He didn't dare to ask Lin Fan directly, so he could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Lin Fan didn't care about this, and after telling him a few words to rest well. Then he continued: "Isn't the reason why they make things difficult for us is for this little money? ”

Speaking of this, he smiled coldly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "I want to see if so many benefits can feed them?" ”

Lin Fan did not say what he would do if those local officials were still not satisfied.

But in Li Qingshan's mind, if there really is such a day, there may be something that those people absolutely don't want to see and don't want to see.

Worried that his own people in the camp might also be obsessed with money, Lin Fan explained to Li Qingshan again: "Also, don't forget to tell everyone after you go down that although this money is erased from the account, this money is used to feed the dogs, not for everyone to spend." ”

"If anyone is short of money, you ask him to come to me directly, and I will pay for him out of my own pocket. But if anyone lets me know that he dares to make money from this, then don't blame me for not talking about the past! ”

Lin Fan didn't expect these people under his command to be able to do it all over the world, after all, it was difficult for him to do it himself, so why bother to embarrass them with the requirements of the sages?

Especially now that the stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the composition of the people below is becoming more and more complicated, everyone in the camp can say anything, and this kind of thing is even more difficult to completely ban.

But he still hopes that he can be as clean as possible here, so that he can feel that what he has done is still meaningful, and he will have the confidence and courage to continue to do it.

After Li Qingshan nodded and agreed, Lin Fan sighed and stopped thinking about these bad things.

He meditated for a moment, and then said slowly to Li Qingshan: "Qingshan, it's right for you to come to me today, even if you don't come to me, I'm ready to go to you later." ”

"Why?" Li Qingshan didn't expect Lin Fan to care so much about this matter. In his memory, Lin Fan had always been more disgusted with this kind of thing, and adults shouldn't be so concerned about this matter.

Lin Fan said: "Because this matter can only be done by me, otherwise, if the imperial court really wants to turn over today's old accounts one day in the future, you can't afford to bear such a big responsibility." ”

"In this big camp, only I can resist, even if the court really condemns in the future, I will not have to die. So in the future, if the court is held responsible, you can just push the matter directly onto me! ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" How dare Li Qingshan agree to this, he shook his head again and again.

Lin Fan scolded with a smile: "I'm here to save your lives, if you don't even dare to do this at that time, then you will die too unjustly!" ”

The meaning is enough, and Lin Fan doesn't have to force Li Qingshan to agree.

So he laughed and scolded Li Qingshan to go about his own business, don't be an eyesore here.

Seeing that Lin Fan let him go, Li Qingshan was relieved, hurriedly said goodbye, and left the camp with those list books.

After Li Qingshan left, there was no one in the big tent except Lin Fan.

His hand clenched unconsciously, then released and clenched. And so on and so forth.

The corners of Lin Fan's eyes were a little sparkling, and he laughed at himself: "It seems that he noticed it just now!" ”

Then he said to himself: "Lin Fan, Lin Fan, from Shenzhou to Gwangju, I don't know when it started, but you are becoming more and more similar to those corrupt officials and corrupt officials!" ”

When he was in Yongyang before, although he didn't do a lot up and down. But at that time, he was all out of his own pocket, and the money was spent peacefully, and no one could say anything.

Of course, bribery is never a good thing, and Lin Fan doesn't dare to say that he is justified.

But all kinds of bad rules have existed in officialdom since ancient times, as long as you still want to mess around in officialdom, it is absolutely unavoidable.

Later, when he came to Shenzhou, although Lin Fan also tempted Wang Ziliang and his people to take advantage. But at most, he just sat back and watched the officials in the yamen at all levels extort and extort those local big households. He himself and the battalions in Shenzhou did not participate, let alone share half of the benefits from it.

Lin Fan lay on the table, and his right hand hammered his chest with his fist: "Today, you actually started to use the money of the court to fill the mouths of those corrupt officials." Step by step, how far are you from becoming one of those people's kind? How many steps can you walk at most? Hahaha... Hahaha...! ”

He smiled sadly, and before he knew it, he was already in tears.

Lin Fan was afraid, he didn't dare to imagine that if one day he really became the kind of person he didn't want to be before, what face he would have to see his parents and husband.

Do you have to tell them then that your only son, and the student whom you value the most, is nothing more than that? He's what he is today, and he's let you down.

He remembered the words he had said on his knees before his father when he was still at home.

Those words are still ringing in my ears today.

He didn't dare to think about what his parents and husband would think of him at that time. Maybe it's disappointment, maybe it's understanding.

But he knew that he would never forgive himself for being that way.

It was said that Li Qingshan once again sent the revised account books and lists according to Lin Fan's intention to those officials, waiting for their reply.

At first, the officials thought that these people were still so unenlightened, that they had done it so obviously, that they didn't even know what it was.

It's just that when they open the account book, their eyes immediately light up.

I thought that there were still people in the Shenzhou army who understood, but unfortunately they understood a little late. If you had done this earlier, why bother until now?

The old man has already happily returned home, who do you think wants to stay in a nest with you stinky Qiu Ba?

It's good now, after such a big toss, not only should there be no less things. On the contrary, the good mood of the old man has also been tossed away, so that you have lost a lot of favor in vain. Hey, hey, hey, you'll regret going in the future!

The local officials got what they wanted, and this time they happily signed it.

They didn't want to stay in the barracks for a moment, and early the next morning, before dawn, they hurried to escort the supplies and the remaining troops back to Gwangju City.
