Zhang Fan's meaning is very clear. Not bad. Grain is such a thing. I really can't care who has how many catties. How many stones. In addition, because of the previous high arch. So there is a lot of food at home. Naturally, it is necessary to hide it well. Once you take it out. It's hard to say it's yours. Say no. Suffer your own losses. If yes. When the time comes, you will get yourself into endless trouble.

So. When Zhang Fan said that he would divide all the grain equally among the people. Although those individuals have complaints. But he didn't dare to say anything. The only one in this Yongning Mansion. Some are qualified to speak. That Ding Youyang. Now it's also because of Zhang Fan. Even if he has a son-in-law of the grandfather of the country. But he didn't dare to compete with Zhang Fan in this matter at all.

And Ding Youyang didn't dare to say anything. How could anyone else dare to say anything more? So. This food thing. Now these people can only be regarded as dumb losses. And. I won't talk about the future. But this time. Since they have already suffered this loss. Don't even think about getting it back.

Even after Zhang Fan left. Maybe some people will be able to get some food back from a family or two families. But I want to take it all back. It's simply impossible. To know. What does food mean to ordinary people? There is absolutely no way they can just watch their rations go on their toes. That's how the things that kept me alive were taken.

Other words. This time. These people are doomed.

But. Suffer on food. But it doesn't mean in silver. These people will also suffer. Although said. After those people entered Yongning Mansion. with the silver in the treasury of the Yamen. A total of more than a million taels were looted. But actually. In fact, there are not many of them belonging to the yamen. Although Yongning is a house. But actually. There's really not much silver here. The Ming Dynasty never collected commercial taxes. Agricultural taxes are only on grain and the like. Even now. The beginning of these years. I also put away the business tax. But there is not much money to be collected here. After all, the big heads are all on the Jiangnan side.

And actually. In the treasury of the entire Yongning Mansion. It was only about 100,000 taels of silver. and the other more than 900,000 taels of silver. In fact, it is from the families of the rich people in the city. Of course. A great deal was also scavenged from the people. But Zhang Fan doesn't need to ask, and those people know it. The money they scavenged out of the people. Together, it is less than 100,000 taels.

Other words. The rest. It really belongs to those rich people. But. The so-called rich. What exactly does it mean? Does it just mean the big families in the city? No. Definitely not. I'm afraid some of them belong to those who are in office. If you want to be clearer, it will be more specific. That is, the group of people headed by Mao Zhengqing.

Of course. Zhang Fan will not be stupid to believe it. The rich people in this huge Yongning Mansion. The silver that has been gathered. That's only a million taels. It's not about geography. In which state capital of the Ming Dynasty. If you get all the money of those big families. It's not going to be like that. Come to think of it. I am afraid that these people still have a lot of places where they hide silver. It's very secretive. And those who only know how to figure out the silver they see. But the foreigners who don't search for it properly. But I couldn't find it.

But none of this is about Zhang Fan. He could no longer have those men hand over all the money. It's simply not possible.

Today's problem. It should be placed on the silver that can be seen in front of you. What to do with this batch of silver is the main question.

But. It's also a troublesome thing. It's not like grain. If any one hoards too much. This makes it clear that there are a lot of private fields in the family. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to get so much food. That's why those people are concerned about food. It's not cool though. But I never say it.

Silver, however, is different. After all. The imperial court has never stipulated it. He said that no house shall hide much silver. If you are an official, you may get into trouble. But these are ordinary people. How much money they have. As long as it is not stealing, pickpocketing, or abduction. The court had no right to intervene.

And. When the time comes, these people will come and ask for money. Zhang Fan also had no reason to refuse them. After all. So much silver. If someone comes to say. It's not just his life. And what his ancestors earned. What is left behind. If so. It is completely impossible for Zhang Fan to turn a blind eye to this matter.

Of course. Zhang Fan will not be stupid. A random person says that the money belongs to his family. Zhang Fan gave them all the silver.

But. Even so. I'm afraid that the time comes. Wait until these people have finished taking the money. This money may not be enough. In this way. Aren't the common people in this Yongning Mansion all going to suffer? Although they got food. But there was a lack of money. To know. Now Yongning Fuzhong. Everyone has five stone grain so much. And even if you want to sell it. It will also be because no one else is short of food. And it can't be sold at a high price.

Maybe. Some people have painstakingly recorded so many taels. Or even a few dozen taels of silver. In order to build more rooms in the future. Marry a daughter-in-law. Or even send your own children to school. And because of such a thing. It's all in vain. This will change the fate of many people. But Zhang Fan didn't want to do that.

Come to think of it. Zhang Fan couldn't think of any good way. Although he wanted to continue this before. made Mao Zhengqing's group unhappy again. But comparatively. It's not that important anymore. What matters these days. What can be done with this money.

And over there. Whether it is Feng Bao or Liu Xian. Obviously, there's no good way to do it.

If it is said. It's like food. But no. Even the big families agreed. When the time comes. In addition to the 100,000 taels of silver that were returned to the government. There are still **100,000 taels left. And this **100,000 taels of silver. If it is like food. Divide equally among the people. Other words. Everyone can get **ten taels of silver.

But. If Zhang Fan really did this. In the future, this Yongning Mansion will definitely not be peaceful.

After all. This silver is not the same as grain. If there is more food in any house? Maybe someone will come and grab it. But nowadays. Everyone in this house has something to eat. Every family has a stockpile of food. Now that I have been able to eat my stomach. And even if it's a food grab. It can't be sold for a good price. So the matter of grabbing food. Basically, it won't happen.

But silver is different. Maybe. Because of this time. Let the price of food in this Yongning Mansion. Dropped a lot. But the value of silver. But there has been no change as a result. A tael of silver. Or a tael of silver. How many things were able to be bought before. It's the same now.

And obviously. Ten taels of silver. For any one person. Even for any ordinary family. It's already a bit too much. So that all of a sudden these people have obtained so much silver. Maybe it will make them happy. But what happens next?

As you can imagine. Those who want to commit crimes. You don't even need to step on the dot to know. His neighbors lived on the left and right. Every family has hundreds of taels of silver. Because even he got so much himself.

One hundred taels of silver. Maybe for those who have a lot of money. It's really nothing. But for ordinary people. One hundred taels. If you save flowers. It will take two or three years. That's definitely the number that can arouse the desires of those people.

And because of a hundred taels of silver, he died. From ancient times to the present day. It's just too much. This. Zhang Fan doesn't need to be verified at all. You can understand. He also lived at the bottom of society. And whether it's in the previous life. It's only this life. This kind of thing is always unchangeable. There are really a lot of people who kill and die for a little money.

So this thing. Zhang Fan has always taken it very seriously. Don't dare to be sloppy at all. He definitely didn't want anyone. Any people. Because of one of their own decisions. And he gave his life. And that's not all. And to make the whole city panic. Zhang Fan would never do this.

So. Now Zhang Fan is caught in a difficult problem to solve. What exactly should be done. to be able to solve this matter perfectly. He couldn't figure it out. even turned to Feng Bao and Liu Xian for help. But I can't get an answer.

Liu Xian's words. It's not that I look down on him. That's the kind of thing it is. He didn't have any good ideas. After all, he is a military general. Even if it's in charge of military pay. But military pay is not so troublesome. It's time for payout. Just send it down. Where is there so much to do.

And Feng Bao. Even he is resourceful. But for this kind of thing. He is also a big girl on the sedan chair. First encounter. So. Now Zhang Fan asked him so. But he'll be for a while. I can't think of a perfect solution to this matter.

All of a sudden. The matter seems to be at an impasse. There is a saying that "three stinkers." Race over Zhuge Liang". But the three of them thought about it for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with any solution.

It was at this time. There was a knock at the door.

Zhang Fan didn't think much about it. It was a "come in" along the way.

And the one who opened the door and came in. It was the three people headed by Mao Zhengqing. There were also two men who had met them at the gates of the city. Zhang Fan still remembers the name clearly. One is called Tang Yuan. One is called Yan Gu.

"Your Excellency. It's not too early to tell. Mao Zhengqing came in and said. Xia Guan had already prepared the meal. I also invite the three adults to come and eat. ”

Originally. Zhang Fan wanted to reject him. But the words came to the lips. Zhang Fan changed his mind. Said with a smile: "Since that's the case." There's Lady Laumo. ”
