Chapter 42: Brother Xian, I'm sorry

Very good, subordinates who can give advice to the leader are good subordinates, and strive to be a useful person in front of the boss, maybe the boss can give you a promotion and a salary increase as soon as he is happy, and he can also get a verbal encouragement at the very least.

Cao Wei has no way to promote Zhang Zongqi, unless he gives him his own position, and he can't give others a raise, because it costs money, so he can only give a second verbal encouragement......

"Zhang Meng, you are very good and promising. Here is one thousand taels of silver, you give Wei Jun three hundred taels, and tell him to buy more supplements for his wife. There are also the remaining seven hundred taels, which you send to your brothers, and it should be regarded as a gift from this hundred households to the brothers. ”

Zhang Meng paused for a moment, his face was full of emotion and guilt, how could such a generous official be rare for a hundred households, and he had never seen such a good boss for his subordinate brothers in more than 30 years. What's more, they are all general flags, giving Wei Jun three hundred taels, but giving himself five hundred taels, obviously valuing himself more. And let himself give Wei Jun silver, so that Wei Jun also owes himself favors.

Zhang Meng immediately knelt on the ground, landed on his knees, bowed to Cao Wei, and said loudly: "My lord is benevolent, brothers are blessed, I, Zhang Meng, swear here, for Lord Qin's liver and brain, and then die!" ”

Cao Wei walked over to help Zhang Meng up, and said with emotion: "Tell the brothers to save some flowers, after all, silver is not blown by the wind......"

This is what Ben 100 households have worked so hard to earn!

"Adults are really kind to their brothers, and I believe that brothers must always feel the kindness of adults."

I don't know if the favor is heavy or not. At least when you touch the silver, it feels heavy; I don't know how much I feel, at least when I spend money, I feel nostalgic.

Zhang Meng left, Cao Wei somehow, his eyes suddenly reddened, and tears couldn't help but gush out.

Silver! Blood-sweated silver, a shot is 1,500 taels, how difficult it is to earn money these years, a hundred households a month of Yulu is only ten stones, and it is only ten taels of silver, and he will throw out more than ten years of Yulu casually, Cao Wei feels that he is now a proper wrongdoer.

Since he came to this world, he has been working hard to make money, and the sadness is indescribable, the dividends of the drunken immortal brew have now had a dividend of five thousand taels, plus the ten thousand taels of silver sent by Shen Qing, it is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Wei has ten thousand taels of money.

But it's not easy to make money, and spending money is like running water. Cao Wei gave Mei Qingrou a thousand taels of private money before leaving Yangzhou City, so that she had nothing to buy some snacks, Mei Qingrou was not polite to Cao Wei, turned around and stuffed it in her pocket. Then give the teacher Mei Gongbo 2,000 taels of silver, and let him buy a house in the capital, the capital is big, it is not easy to live for a long time, and it costs money. Mei Gongbo knew that Cao Wei was the owner of Drunken Immortal Brewing, and he was not polite to him. Okay, the father and daughter are both real people, you're welcome......

After coming to Nanjing, it cost 3,000 taels just to buy a suite, plus nearly 1,000 taels to replace the furniture, Cao Wei wanted to say that the landlord's family really didn't have much surplus food!

The silver is gone, and the tears in my eyes can't be wiped away......

Silver is a good thing, and a real thing, and it moves people's hearts more than painless polite words and flowery promises, because it can at least keep wives and children well clothed with snacks.

In the next few days, the brothers in the Baihu Institute were respectful to Cao Wei, after all, Cao Wei was now their food and clothing parents, so they couldn't help but look up to them. Especially Wei Jun, a man who has always bled without tears, actually wet his eyes when he looked at Cao Wei. Cao Wei heard Zhang Meng say that when Wei Jun got medicine for his wife in the hospital, he was humiliated by the doctor because of the money he owed, but fortunately he had the silver given by Cao Wei.

Cao Wei is very low-key every day, although Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, he can bully men and women, and run rampant, but he also has to divide the place, in the entire city of Nanjing, if he bullies a man casually, he may be the son of the Xungui family, and it is even more impossible to occupy the girl, the woman with a little appearance on the street is likely to be the concubine of the powerful family, and the little deflated man on the side of the road may be the brother-in-law of a certain Xungui's family......

In this environment, the brothers were bitter, but the brothers never said it to their faces, but they often said behind their backs that they wanted to have an indescribable relationship with the women of the nobles' families.

…………

Cao Wei's quiet life was interrupted, and the two lieutenants helped an injured brother into the Baihu House, followed by several brothers, all with blue noses and swollen faces, and even blood stains on the corners of their mouths.

Zhang Meng stepped forward and said in Cao Wei's ear: "There is a brother in the office who was beaten by a powerful son to collect peace money. ”

Cao Wei's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said angrily: "You are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, the eagle dog of the imperial court, and you can't beat the house slaves who are captive by the sons of the gentlemen!" ”

Zhang Meng shuddered for a moment, and said with a miserable smile: "My lord, my subordinates have embarrassed you, but my subordinates don't dare to be heavy-handed." This is not the first time that they have been beaten, and half of the brothers' money has been spent on the cost of soup and medicine......"

Cao Wei understood that these captains were still afraid of the children of the powerful, so they started to be timid, and those house slaves had no scruples because they had the support of their masters.

Although the silver of Jinyiwei is issued every month, according to the rules, 30% is issued by 1,000 households every month, and the rest is collected by 100 households from the merchants. How much can be collected is the business of each hundred households, and it is no wonder if you can't collect it.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang are both domestic slaves of the Son of Heaven, how can the officials of the imperial court agree to support them by the treasury, but there are more than 100,000 Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi in the world, each of whom has wives and children, and everyone has to live, so with the acquiescence of the imperial court and the emperor, the factory guard began to collect protection fees from the merchants, and if the merchants did not give it, the process was not very friendly.

It's another thing for businesses with backers and backgrounds, these people can't afford to mess with them. Unfortunately, there are mostly Qinglou teahouses on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and it stands to reason that the Jinyiwei who manages this place should be very rich, but the merchants here have complex backgrounds.

At the end of the month, when a brocade brother tried to collect Ping'an silver, he was beaten, and he was beaten not lightly.

Cao Wei's fingers kept knocking on the table, his face was expressionless, Zhang Meng was silent, his face was gloomy, even if this Baihu was an uncle, he didn't dare to provoke these powerful children easily.

After a while, Cao Wei took out a bag of silver from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Meng, and said, "You send this silver to the injured brother, and this hundred households will definitely give them an explanation within three days." ”

Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, he knelt down on one knee towards Cao Wei, and saluted Cao Wei with his fists clenched. The boss is willing to take responsibility for his subordinates, so why not let his subordinates die for such a boss!

Plop plop!

The courtyard was scattered and kneeling all over the ground.

"I am willing to die for my lords!"

"The man who stands up to the sky, don't kneel down at every turn, Zhang Meng, you go and find out where the little grandfather Xu of the Wei family has been active in the past two days, send my brother to keep an eye on me, and report to me at any time."

Zhang Meng left in response, and at this time Cao Wei asked him to set fire to the Guogong Mansion, and he was willing to do it.

Looking at the back of Zhang Meng's departure, Cao Wei said quietly: "Brother Xu Xian, I'm sorry......"
