Yu Nian has already begun to deliver the words, and Zhou Qi is not ambiguous.

"Yes, this horse bandit is really hateful, the last time the official didn't confront them head-on for the sake of the people of the city, he had to let them go, otherwise, the official must let them know that he knows how powerful the official is."

"Lord Zhou is so ambitious, Lord Zhou is not only brilliant and beautiful, but also brilliant in arranging troops." , Yu began to hold Zhou Qi, and then changed the conversation, "But, Lord Zhou, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Lord Zhou wants to arrange troops, but the soldiers are all empty, how can they listen to Lord Zhou's dispatch?" Alas, thinking of my dignified Huizhou, who would have thought that our government was also poor, alas. ”

"The Ministry of War asked us to solve the military salary by ourselves, how can we raise so many soldiers in a small government? Lord Yu, can't you fight for it from the Ministry of War again? ”

"Hey, Lord Zhou, the lower officials have already been cheeky to ask the Ministry of War for instructions, and they don't pay attention to us at all. But also, everyone says that our Huizhou is rich, but the rich are all Huizhou businessmen, what does it have to do with petty officials like us? Alas, there is really suffering. ”

"If there is no military salary, these soldiers will also make trouble, Lord Yu, you have to appease everyone."

"Lord Zhou, Xia Guan is really, alas, you also know that Xiucai met a soldier, it is unreasonable, people who have no food to eat, and they still have a guy in their hands, Xia Guan is a little, ho, Xia Guan is really a little difficult."

"Yes, but where are we going to get the pay now? Lord Yu, how much does it take? ”

"We'll see how long it takes to get rid of the bandits. Here came five hundred people, calculated at two taels of silver per person per day, and if they could be exterminated in a month, then they would be thirty thousand taels of silver. If it takes two months to destroy it, it will be 60,000 taels. However, let's talk about the ugly things ahead, if there is a battle damage, then we have to compensate a little, so the lower officials feel that they have to raise 100,000 taels to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"100,000 taels, alas, the official only has more than 100 taels of silver a month, if the official has it, the official will take it out, how can he kill the horse bandits first."

When it came to this, Chen Qianlang completely understood, "My lord, three adults, this extermination of horse bandits is also for the stability of Huizhou, and the small people are willing to donate money to help adults raise military salaries." ”

"Oh?" , Yu Nian let out an exclamation, "Oh, Boss Chen, you are really an outstanding representative of our Hui businessmen, this, this is simply great." ”

"Lord Yu, it doesn't seem appropriate to let Hui merchants donate, right?"

"Lord Zhou doesn't know, it's not that he hasn't donated before. Before the great drought in the world, our Hui businessmen generously donated money, and many refugees from neighboring provinces were helped. The first emperor once personally commented on the words 'Huishang in the world', which is a supreme honor. ”

"There's such a thing."

Qian Ning is not stupid, "My lord, our Qian family is also willing to donate money to help the adults to exterminate the horse bandits, and ask the adults to accept the wishes of the people for the peace and security of Huizhou." ”

Li Bo just listened to Zhou Qi and Yu Nian sing and harmonize, and now it is finally his turn to play, "Lord Zhou, since."

They have a heart, so it's decided. ”

"Lord Qincha, these 100,000 taels are all out of the two of them, and the official is really a little unhappy." , Zhou Qi thought for a while, "In this way, this official will gather all the big and small Hui merchants, and donate as much as he can." ”

"This is good, oops, or Lord Zhou is thoughtful. Boss Chen, Qian Shaodong, is still a caring person of Lord Zhou. ”

Chen Qianlang and Qian Ning were not ambiguous at all, "kowtowing and thanking".

Zhou Qi no longer pursued Chen Qianlang's dereliction of duty, and Chen Qianlang naturally went home with a lot of gratitude. Qian Ning still has careful thoughts, and he is bound to get a correct sentence.

"My lord, I don't know how Miss Zhou's health is?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just scared."

"Lord Zhou, in order to apologize, the Qian family is willing to give an extra thousand taels of silver to make up for Miss."

"Are you bribing the official?"

"Adults misunderstand, adults misunderstand. Xiaomin knows that adults are honest and self-reliant, if Miss Zhou does not dislike it, the Qian family is willing to donate in the name of Miss Zhou, this is also for the stability of Huizhou, everyone should do their part. ”

Zhou Qi looked at Li Bo, and then at Yu Nian, Yu Nian was an old fritter in officialdom, "Oh, Lord Zhou and Miss Zhou have done their best for the people of Huizhou, which is really commendable." Especially Miss Zhou, she was wronged and still thought about the people of the city, which made the officials admire. ”

"yes." , Qian Ning hurriedly took over, "Miss Zhou is worthy of being everyone's young lady, she is broad-minded, and the people of the whole city will be grateful." ”

"It's finished." , Zhou Qi finally eased his attitude, "I have to ask Wan Ting, you go back first, your filial piety official will write it down." Li Laosi, this official will also have a fair verdict. ”

Qian Ning waited for this sentence, and hurriedly gave a salute to leave.

Qian Duo saw that Wan Ting's face was hurt, and she was very distressed, "Chunju, how did you say that Sister Wan Ting could encounter such a thing, it is really distressing to see her like this." ”

"Miss, Miss Zhou is usually alone outside, and she always meets one or two little people."

"Ugh." , Qian Duo stood up, "Chunju, this yamen is a bunch of big men, how can you take care of Sister Huanting?" You go find someone to get some hot water, and let's help Sister Huanting wipe her body. ”

"Yes." Chunju came out and saw that there was no one in the yard, so he walked towards the west wing, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw a group of men gathered together, "You, who is in charge?" ”

Chain stood up, "This young lady? ”

"Yo, your mouth is quite sweet, you're a housekeeper, right? Our young lady told me to come to you and ask for hot water, and we will wipe your young lady's body. ”

The chain is worried and doesn't know what to do, although he is not a man, but Wan Ting's temper is not so good, and now he took the initiative to help the two, and quickly greeted him with a smile, "Thank you Miss Qian, my family knows it, and I will thank Miss for her kindness." As he spoke, the chain hurriedly guided Chunju to get hot water, "What is this girl's name?" ”

"My name is Chunju, where's the housekeeper?"

"Oh, you're just going to do it with me. Chamomile, what a good name, one name contains two seasons,

It's the most beautiful season, it's so good. ”

In the past, when everyone heard the name of Chunju, they would only say, "Hahaha, your name is so funny, how can there be chrysanthemums in spring?" Chunju felt embarrassed, because this name was the old woman's mistake for a while, and since she got such a name that she didn't know, Chunju had to get by, and when people asked, they said it generously, and they didn't admit that the old woman was wrong. Now someone has opened his eyes and said such good things.

"Thank you chain housekeeper, this name is still rewarded by the old woman of our Qian family."

"The old woman must be very fond of you." , The chain continued to praise Chunju, and at the end, he also called two guards to bring water into the house together.

"Miss, this housekeeper is really sweet-mouthed, and he is not a butler of Lord Zhou."

While helping Wan Ting wipe her arms, the two chatted with each other, "I don't know how Lord Zhou is." ”

"Miss, just now the housekeeper said that Lord Zhou is on a discussion, let's finish it in a while, you can just go and see Lord Zhou."

This sentence can be regarded as speaking to Qian Duo's heart, and he smiled slightly. "Let's get down to business when he's done."

Qian Ning finally came out of the front hall, standing in the courtyard and not knowing where Qian Duo was, and there was no one, Qian Ning felt that it was really unreasonable to stand here, although he was not at ease, thinking that Lord Li and Lord Yu were here, in front of outsiders, Qian Duo would not do anything out of the ordinary.

Qian Ning returned home, hurriedly went back to the study first, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Yi rushing out, "Wu Yi." ”

Wu Yi has been in a state of unease, so he stood stupidly at the door waiting for Qian Ning, as soon as Qian Ning entered the courtyard gate, Wu Yi rushed out, Wu Yi grabbed Qian Ning's arm, "Qian Ning, how is it?" ”

"Don't worry, your father won't die."

When Wu Yi heard this, she cried with joy, "Really? What about him now? ”

"He can't come back yet, but Lord Zhou and I have reached an agreement that we will release your father in two days."

"Really?" , Wu Yi suddenly paused again, and slowly let go of Qian Ning's arm, "Qian Ning, what agreement have you reached with Governor Zhou?" ”

"Wu Yi, don't worry. The Zhou prefect wanted to exterminate the horse bandits, but the military department asked Huizhou to raise their own military salaries, and Lord Zhou was worried, so Uncle Chen and I just took the opportunity to let him let go of his resentment against the Chen family and Li Laosi, as long as two days later at the donation banquet he held, the two of us took the lead in donating. ”

Wu Yi was stunned, lowered her head and did not speak.

"Wu Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Yi raised his head and cried again, "Qian Ning, it's all my fault, this military salary must be very expensive, right?" ”

"Hey, Wu Yi, if it weren't for your father's business, our Qian family would have to take out the money, how could the prefect let go of such a big piece of fat and not eat it." , Qian Ning touched Wu Yi's head, "Okay, silly girl, this has nothing to do with you." Let me tell you, our Qian family is now worried that we don't have the opportunity to stand with Lord Zhou, now it's okay, my father knows, it's too late to be happy, and I have to thank your father. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, you think the prefect is so easy to make friends."

listen

With these words, Wu Yi remembered He Ping's words just now, "Wu Yi, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, no one here is your friend." Every word hit Wu Yi's heart, that is, she is a poor girl, or the lowest girl, and she still wants to be friends with the prefect, it's ridiculous. Wu Yi thought so, and lowered his head again, "Qian Ning." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Do you really think of me as a friend?"

Qian Ning paused for a moment, because he thought that Wu Yi knew that he still liked Wu Yi, so he quickly pretended to be calm, and a bright smile appeared on his face, "Of course!" ”
